previous bearflag finally breaks down and hits projected target.
It was over 36 hours of non stop consolidation on the last bear flag, doji after doji after doji, morphing at times into a descending wedge, a diamond bottom, and threatening to be an eve shoulder of an adam and eve double bottom, but after 9 4 hour candles of consolidation, it finally returned back into a standard bear flag and broke down to the projected target almost exactly. One of the obstacles that took it so long to do so was the 23.60% fibonacci retracement line(in red) That line was tested again and again and again and just refused to submit....acting as support for hours and hours before finally caving and the flood gates opening. It has now been flipped to just as strong of a resistance line which is a very bad sign for the bulls and the chance of us returning above it before more downside is experienced. It also has now overlapped with the t line which was providing just as stubborn of resistance during the last bear flag and continues to be that level of resistance. Here I am showing the 1hr chart because I think it shows the flags slightly more clearly, but it is important to note that on the 4hr chart, we still have not established a higher low than the last low we had on back on April 1st. I find it hard to believe we would fall back down this close to that low and somehow still create a higher low so I'd say probability highly favors either a new lower low after this current bear flag that has a projected drop of 6264....or we trigger a double bottom with the low on April 1st and then finally shoot upward from there. If we achieve a lower low, the next chance for a rebound will be the psychological support of 6,000 and just under that at $5942 a chance to trigger a massive double bottom with february 6ths low. If we do dip down that low, we will need to trigger a big rebound quickly otherwise we could close under a massive head and shoulders pattern which if triggered has the potential to send us down to $3,000 or even lower which would be bad for the market and could potentially cause the entire year of 2018 to be a bear market. I'm still optimistic in a bullish 2nd quarter so I'm hoping we trigger one of these potential double bottoms...but for now I remain short and will likely limit buy most of my position back just above the psychological support of 6,000 to play it safe...and ladder in more to the position just above each significant line of support under that we might reach. You of course choose your own path though as this is not financial advice. Good luck, ad thanks for reading!
