. The first one lets you anticipate a new point 3. The second one doesn’t. Jack explained that very thoroughly in his post, link to which was posted by cnms2 in this thread.

 

Funny how the chart of Spydertrader with two VEs didn't evoke much interest.(the chart Spyder posted in this thread)

 

 

I'm still struggling with what to "anticipate" with regard to VEs. I finally came to grips with the chart that Spy refered to---I was sloppy with accel the container and the 2nd VE clearly failed in that container. But in your example the bars following the accel's. seemed to do exactly the same thing except the 2nd was higher volatility and nearly the same volume-----so a 2x4 in my general direction would be much appreciated

 

On the Spyder chart look closely at the last leg. Pay attention to how it STARTED and what happened RIGHT AFTER it started.

 

HTH.

The sequences always complete. Now take your answer and try to draw the tapes your suggestion implicates make the sequence complete.

 

You didn’t really pay attention to what had transpired in the volume pane, did you?

 

 

Gucci,

 

Thanks for commenting on the reply. I looked at the vol that created the 1st VE in question and saw the faster fractal b2b2r2b.

 

 

The idea of the drill was to show two different types of VEs. The first one lets you anticipate a new point 3. The second one doesn’t. Jack explained that very thoroughly in his post, link to which was posted by cnms2 in this thread.

Ok, I understand and see that. Can you kindly tell which chart of Spydertrader are you referring to above as well as the post by cnms earlier. I seem to have some trouble looking it up.

 

Let the market falsify your hypothesis. The sequences are always complete.

 

Spydertrader once asked how do I know I would arrive at the destination. I didn't really know how to answer him then as I was baffled.

 

Now it seems the process of learning to recognize the signs on the journey are probably the key and in the context of each fractal, the ability to see the sequence completion is needed before the next begins. Whether a new point 3 is anticipated will very much depends on the ability to see the 1-2-3 which must be corroborated by the volume gaussians. If this analysis is correct, then my M-A- will be one level up to stay on the right side of the market.

 

Thank you.

"The market tells you where the right side is. Spyder explained how to be absolutely sure about whether or not the market has changed direction. "

 

 

 

 

Where can that explaination be found? I would like to add that to my notes.

TIA

The explanation is actually much simpler than you think. :)

 

In the attached chart for instance, at what point in time can you be absolutely sure that the thing confined by deep pink lines is over?

..?

at what point did you figure out thing is "much simpler". Did you just wake up one morning and became a dif man? What made you to translate from a confuse sate to "much simpler than you think" state?

At the completion of B2B at 1610 hrs BO of pink RTL with increasing black vol ?

When the price moves above the point 1 of the thing confined by the deep pink lines, you know that fanning is impossible and that the thing confined by the pink lines is definitely over.

 

I too am curious, Gucci, about how you made the breakthrough from confusion and frustration to clarity.

 

Anyway, thanks for your efforts.

Thanks gucci for the reply and the question. If you want to know absolutely that the thing in the deep pink lines is over, you must go to the 1610 bar for the completion of the B2B and the increasing black volume of the dominant bar. However, I see that there were clues prior to that, at 1545, increasing red vol completing the sequence of the pink thing, at 1550 an OB on increasing black Vol which breaks the RTL of the pink thing and signals to anticipate change. I also wonder why the B2B doesn't end at the 1610 bar which is also the pt2, because everything after that is non-dominant to the pt 3 at 1705, confirmed by the increasing black volume at 1720.

 

Thanks again, sscott

TQ SScotts.

Following the IBGS , it looked like FTT FBO BO is being played out for the B2B to complete.

My answer: Once increasing black volume starts to appear on 16:05 Bar right after the trough of B2B, the deep pink traverse is over. The reason is that once black dominance is established, price 'breaks' the RTL of deep pink traverse.

Now, you do not really need me to confirm the answer, do you?:) Now all that remains for you is to go deeper into details and thoroughly annotate all of the sequences of that thing. After that you can start thinking about how could one know earlier that the market changed dominance. Look very closely at what transpired on each and every bar. Regardless of what I or Spyder or anyone else might say, the market has spoken.

    • Date: 3rd April 2025.   Gold Prices Pull Back After Record High as Traders Eye Trump’s Tariffs.   Key Takeaways:   Gold prices retreated after hitting a record high of $3,167.57 per ounce due to profit-taking. President Trump announced a 10% baseline tariff on all US imports, escalating trade tensions. Gold remains exempt from reciprocal tariffs, reinforcing its safe-haven appeal. Investors await US non-farm payroll data for further market direction. Fed rate cut bets and weaker US Treasury yields underpin gold’s bullish outlook. Gold Prices Retreat from Record Highs Amid Profit-Taking Gold prices saw a pullback on Thursday as traders opted to take profits following a historic surge. Spot gold declined 0.4% to $3,122.10 per ounce as of 0710 GMT, retreating from its fresh all-time high of $3,167.57. Meanwhile, US gold futures slipped 0.7% to $3,145.00 per ounce, reflecting broader market uncertainty over economic and geopolitical developments.   The recent rally was largely fueled by concerns over escalating trade tensions after President Donald Trump unveiled sweeping new import tariffs. The 10% baseline tariff on all goods entering the US further deepened the global trade conflict, intensifying investor demand for safe-haven assets like gold. However, as traders locked in gains from the surge, prices saw a modest retracement.   Trump’s Tariffs and Their Market Implications On Wednesday, Trump introduced a sweeping tariff policy imposing a 10% baseline duty on all imports, with significantly higher tariffs on select nations. While this move was aimed at bolstering domestic manufacturing, it sent shockwaves across global markets, fueling inflation concerns and heightening trade war fears.   Gold’s Role Amid Trade War Escalations Despite the widespread tariff measures, the White House clarified that reciprocal tariffs do not apply to gold, energy, and ‘certain minerals that are not available in the US’. This exemption suggests that central banks and institutional investors may continue favouring gold as a hedge against economic instability. One of the key factors supporting gold is the slowdown that these tariffs could cause in the US economy, which raises the likelihood of future Federal Reserve rate cuts. Gold is currently in a pure momentum trade. Market participants are on the sidelines and until we see a significant shakeout, this momentum could persist.   Impact on the US Dollar and Bond Yields Gold prices typically move inversely to the US dollar, and the latest developments have pushed the dollar to its weakest level since October 2024. Market participants are increasingly pricing in the possibility of a Fed rate cut, as the tariffs could weigh on economic growth.   Additionally, US Treasury yields have plummeted, reflecting growing recession fears. Lower bond yields reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold, making it a more attractive investment.         Technical Analysis: Key Levels to Watch Gold’s recent rally has pushed it into overbought territory, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) above 70. This indicates a potential short-term pullback before the uptrend resumes. The immediate support level lies at $3,115, aligning with the Asian session low. A further decline could bring gold towards the $3,100 psychological level, which has previously acted as a strong support zone. Below this, the $3,076–$3,057 region represents a critical weekly support range where buyers may re-enter the market. In the event of a more significant correction, $3,000 stands as a major psychological floor.   On the upside, gold faces immediate resistance at $3,149. A break above this level could signal renewed bullish momentum, potentially leading to a retest of the record high at $3,167. If bullish momentum persists, the next target is the $3,200 psychological barrier, which could pave the way for further gains. Despite the recent pullback, the broader trend remains bullish, with dips likely to be viewed as buying opportunities.   Looking Ahead: Non-Farm Payrolls and Fed Policy Traders are closely monitoring Friday’s US non-farm payrolls (NFP) report, which could provide critical insights into the Federal Reserve’s next policy moves. A weaker-than-expected jobs report may strengthen expectations for an interest rate cut, further boosting gold prices.   Other key economic data releases, such as jobless claims and the ISM Services PMI, may also impact market sentiment in the short term. However, with rising geopolitical uncertainties, trade tensions, and a weakening US dollar, gold’s safe-haven appeal remains strong.   Conclusion: While short-term profit-taking may trigger minor corrections, gold’s long-term outlook remains bullish. As global trade tensions mount and the Federal Reserve leans toward a more accommodative stance, gold could see further gains in the months ahead.   Always trade with strict risk management.
