Enjoy and remember... each line and bar are as important as every letter in a word. One must know every letter in a word to understand the meaning of the word just like one has to be able to understand every word in a sentence to comprehend the meaning of the sentence. The same holds true for the paragraph in a chapter and so on. Happy reading.

Btw,on the posted chart there are only two signals of change on the traverse level. Which ones? Why?

 

Both are pt1 of traverse

 

18:15 pennant FBO

15:35

 

I dont see the 15:35, however 1540 did cross the previous RTL

How about Peak Volume (and spikyness of this bar)? What about 20:10 ? We have a lateral formation FBO there. Why doesn`t it constitute traverse level change ?

Another one for those interested. Why the first set of down trend lines do not contain a traverse?

Thanks

 

I did notice the peak volume, but I ignored it . From my understanding peak volume needs to be 3 increasing bars all in the same direction. In this case the prior bar is a down formation

 

My data was a little different for the lateral FBO, for me it closed outside on increasing volume. I see on your chart it closed on the line. A side note that is pt3 of the traverse.

 

Do you trade the pt1 and pt3 of traverses?

 

Thanks for taking the time, much appreciated.

Looking at your gaussians pt2 is inside your previous traverse (thick orange container)

It depends on pace and where I am in the sequence on a larger fractal (channel). I can only answer yes and no.

 

You are welcome. Du not forget to post your charts to facilitate the discussion. Like Spyder used to say, you do not need my charts, the market always schows you the right one at end of the day. Use the crisp clean logic and the resulting "rules".

I must be blind. :)

 

There is an FTT at 10:10 (FBP), equal low.

 

Unless you dont use internals as FTT's. We did exit the Lat on the opposite side so something completed inside.

Now what about the first increasing red? Where does it close? Where sits it's low in a tape ? What does it mean? Is it dominant? How many clues do you need? :)

The low of the bar is still inside the previous tape, so we have not arrived at p2 yet. The bar also closed back inside the previous bar. I think Sydertrader referred to this as lateral movement.(CCC)

 

Hopefully others will participate.

Your first incr red gaussian has pace acceleration, which means that container could be a tape. If not for the fact that that tape would have to FTT outside the prior Traverse's RTL. I've got it breaking the prior Tape's RTL, but since the prior tape was an Up Tape3 as far as I can tell... we can't use PA to promote to a Tape until we also can FTT outside the Traverse RTL. Of course I could have been off on my fractals. If so, and if your medium weight brown TL is a Traverse RTL then I might see what you're describing?

 

If your brown TL wasn't for a Traverse, then that down thing couldn't be a Tape and the close "in the zone" means rebuild down tape. Which may or may not have happened depending on where in the fractals we were to start with.

See attached. Comments? Suggestions? Ahas? :)

 

The former is the FTT of something and a stitch long, the latter is the Pt3 of something and an IBGS that exhibited continuation before reversing. But I'm not sure how else you might mean the question?

Lets point out the similarities first. To what extent are they similar?

Similarities: They both involve increasing volume and they both involve a mode change.

 

Dissimilarities that I'm aware of so far: one breaks a prior container TL and the other doesn't.

I agree with the previous poster, they are at different OOE.

 

The first one crosses a RTL but closes back inside(FBO). It also closes back inside the previous bar. It is a stitch formation. Volume is increasing. That is expected since pace increases as the approach 4:00pm.

 

The second one is an IBGS, Sentiment has shifted form a short mode to a long mode. Volume is also increasing. Mode is continuation

 

I am unsure as to what else there may be.

Hint from the market: they both form a point three.

 

Both of the bars are followed by an increasing volume.

 

Now the MAIN DIFFERENCE... come on.

 

Why the bar after the first bar can not constutute PEAK VOL whereas the bar after the second bar can and does?

 

Anyone else willing to join the discussion?

    • Date: 31st March 2025.   Trump Confirms Tariffs on All Countries, Sending Stocks Lower.   The NASDAQ continues to trade lower due to the US confirming the latest tariffs will be on all countries. In addition to this, bearish volatility also is largely due to the higher inflation data from Friday. The NASDAQ declines to its lowest price since September 11th 2024. Core PCE Price Index - Inflation Increases Again! The PCE Price Index read 2.5% aligning with expert forecasts not triggering any alarm bells. However, the Core PCE Price Index rose from 0.3% to 0.4% MoM and from 2.7% to 2.8% YoY, signalling growing inflationary pressure. This increases the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will maintain elevated interest rates for an extended period. The NASDAQ fell 2.60% due to the higher inflation reading which is known to pressure the stock market due to pressure on consumer demand and a more hawkish Federal Reserve. Boston Fed President Susan Collins recently commented that tariffs could drive up inflation, though the long-term impact remains uncertain. She told journalists that a short-term spike is the most probable outcome but believes the current pause in monetary policy adjustments is appropriate given the prevailing uncertainties. Although, certain investment banks such as JP Morgan actually believe the Federal Reserve will be forced into cutting rates. This is due to expectations that the economy will struggle under the new trade policy. For example, JP Morgan expects the Federal Reserve to delay rate cuts but will quickly cut towards the end of 2025. Market Risk Appetite Takes a Hit! A big factor for the day is the drop in the risk appetite of investors. This can be seen from the VIX which is up almost 6%, Gold which is trading 1.30% higher and the Japanese Yen which is the day’s best performing currency. Most safe haven assets, bar the US Dollar, increase in value. It is also worth noting that all indices are decreasing in value during this morning's Asian session with the Nikkei225 and NASDAQ witnessing the strongest decline. Previously the stock market rose in value as investors heard rumours that tariffs would only be on certain countries. This bullish swing occurred between March 14th and 25th. Over the weekend, President Donald Trump indicated that the upcoming tariffs would apply to all countries, not just those with the largest trade imbalances with the US. NASDAQ - Technical Analysis In terms of technical analysis, the NASDAQ continues to obtain indications that sellers control the price action. The price opens on a bearish price gap measuring 0.30% and trades below all Moving Averages on all timeframes. The NASDAQ also trades below the VWAP and almost 100% of the most influential components (stocks) are declining in value.     The next significant support level is at $18,313, and the resistance level stands at $20,367.95. Key Takeaway Points: NASDAQ falls to its lowest since September 2024 as the US confirms tariffs on all countries, adding to inflation concerns. Core PCE inflation rises to 0.4% MoM and 2.8% YoY, increasing the likelihood of prolonged high interest rates. Investor risk appetite drops as VIX jumps 6%, gold gains 1.3%, and safe-haven assets outperform. NASDAQ shows strong bearish momentum, trading below key technical levels with support at $18,313 and resistance at $20,367.95. Always trade with strict risk management.
