Wen Yen wave B?

190
In the ABC corrections after 1995-98 and 2012-15 uptrends, both had wave As ending after a volatile break under the .5 fib level followed by a sharp recovery. The current price is just above .5 fib level. The historical data (sample size of 2, speculation at its finest) suggests longs during capitulation after a break of .5 fib is a good trade. I'll be trying longs at the 1.61 fib level. If this fails, another attempt near the bottom of purple trend channel.

I usually don't consider trend line/channels actionable signal. In my experience, they're random and unreliable forms of support/resistance. That being said, I think obvious channels on daily/monthly charts are worth drawing. At the very least, they help visualize the trend. Best case scenario, they offer high risk/reward set ups.
Note
Offer low risk/high reward set ups*
