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: 2nd April 2025.   Market on Edge: Tariff Announcement and Volatility Ahead!   The US economic and employment data continues to deteriorate with the job vacancies figures dropping to a 5-month low. In addition to this, the IMS Manufacturing PMI also fell below expectations. However, both the US Dollar and Gold declined simultaneously following the release of the two figures, an uncommon occurrence in the market. Traders expect a key factor to be today’s ‘liberation day’ where the US will impose tariffs on imports. USDJPY - Traders Await Tariff Confirmation! Traders looking to determine how the USDJPY will look today will find it difficult to determine until the US confirms its tariff plan. Today is the day when Trump previously stated he would finalize and announce his tariff plan. The administration has not yet released the policy, but investors expect it to be the most expansionary in a century. President Trump is due to speak at 20:00 GMT. On HFM's Calendar the speech is stated as "US Liberation Day Tariff Announcement". Currently, analysts are expecting Trump’s Tariff Plan to impose tariffs on the EU, chips and pharmaceuticals later today as well as reciprocal tariffs. Economists have a good idea of how these tariffs may take effect, but reciprocal tariffs are still unspecified. In addition to this, 25% tariffs on the car industry will start tomorrow. The tariffs on the foreign cars industry are a factor which will particularly impact Japan. Although, traders should note that this is what is expected and is not yet finalised. Last week, President Trump stated that he would implement retaliatory tariffs but allow exemptions for certain US trade partners. Treasury Secretary Mr Bessent and National Economic Council Director Mr Hassett suggested that the restrictions would primarily target 15 countries responsible for the bulk of the US trade deficit. However, yesterday, Trump contradicted these statements, asserting that additional duties would be imposed on any country that has implemented similar measures against US products. The day’s volatility will depend on which route the US administration takes. The harshness of the policy will influence both the Japanese Yen as well as the US Dollar.   USDJPY 5-Minute Chart   US Economic and Employment Data The JOLT Job Vacancies figure fell below expectations and is lower than the previous month’s figure. The JOLT Job Vacancies read 7.57 million whereas the average of the past 6 months is 7.78 million. The ISM Manufacturing Index also fell below the key level of 50.00 and was 5 points lower than what analysts were expecting. The data is negative for the US Dollar, particularly as the latest release applies more pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. However, this is unlikely to happen if the trade policy ignites higher and stickier inflation. In the Bank of Japan’s Governor's latest speech, Mr Ueda said that the tariffs are likely to trigger higher inflation. USDJPY Technical Analysis Currently, the Japanese Yen Index is the worst performing of the day while the US Dollar Index is more or less unchanged. However, this is something traders will continue to monitor as the EU session starts. In the 2-hour timeframe, the USDJPY is trading at the neutral level below the 75-bar EMA and 100-bar SMA. The RSI and MACD is also at the neutral level meaning traders should be open to price movements in either direction. On the smaller timeframes, such as the 5-minute timeframe, there is a slight bias towards a bullish outcome. However, this is only likely if the latest bearish swing does not drop below the 200-Bar SMA.     The key resistant level can be seen at 150.262 and the support level at 149.115. Breakout levels are at 149.988 and 149.674. Key Takeaway Points: Job vacancies hit a five-month low, and the ISM Manufacturing PMI missed expectations, adding pressure on the Federal Reserve regarding interest rate decisions. Traders await confirmation on Trump’s tariff policy, which is expected to impact the EU, chips, pharmaceuticals, and foreign car industries. The severity of the tariffs will influence both the JPY and the USD, with traders waiting for final policy details. The Japanese Yen Index is the worst index of the day while the US Dollar Index is unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
