COP
Time for ConocoPhillips to end the skid?Based on historical movement, the trough could occur anywhere in the larger red box. The final targets are in the green boxes. The pending top should occur within the larger green box as has been the historical case. Half of all movement has ended in the smaller green box. In this instance, the signal indicated BUY on August 16, 2021 with a closing price of 54.82.
If this instance is successful, that means the stock should rise to at least 55.17 which is the bottom of the larger green box. Three-quarters of all successful signals have the stock rise 2.337% from the signal closing price. This percentage is the bottom of the smaller green box. Half of all successful signals have the stock rise 4.213% which is the end point of the black dotted arrow. One-quarter of all successful signals have the stock rise 8.049% from the signal closing price which is the top of the smaller green box. The maximum rise on record would see a move to the top of the larger green box. These are the same concepts for the levels in the red boxes as well.
The ends/vertical sides of the boxes are determined in a similar fashion. The peak of the rise can occur as soon as the next trading bar after signal close, while the max rise occurs within the limit of study at 40 trading bars after the signal. A 0.5% rise must occur over the next 40 trading bars in order to be considered a success. Three-quarters of successful movement occur after at least 7 trading bars; half occur within 21 trading bars, and one-quarter require at least 34 trading bars.
The black dotted arrow represents median historical movement. Medians are a good metric, but they are just one of many I use when forecasting future movement.
As always, the stock could decline the very next bar after the signal without looking back (therefore the red boxes would not come into play) or the stock may never decline (and the green boxes may never come into play).
COP Multiple Timeframe LevelNYSE:COP pulled back this morning to a Daily timeframe 50% Retracement Level. This level goes back on the Weekly many years.
I like this for a long term hold play for dividends as well as a short term options play for the run up to earnings.
Check out my video idea for more thoughts on combining timeframes for Multiple Timeframe Analysis...
Black Gold is not doneBlack Gold finally broke out from the 3 month cup handle pattern as mentioned last week! Although weekly chart was showing bearish, it was a bullish flag because the lows never broke. This week the momentum continues upward possibly in a big way. Extremely Bullish! Once it breaks 56.75, 59 will be the next target. XOM, SLB, NOV are yummy plays.
Select forex currencies post-covid bounceback - weak frm Dec2020Select foreign currencies, after Covid/coronavirus bounce-back, have been weakening since early December 2020 - ahead of the NASDAQ (IXIC) question of faith in mid February 2021: Russian ruble RUB/USD, Brazilian real BRL/USD, Colombian peso COP/USD, Mexican peso MXN/USD, Korean won KRW/USD, Thai baht THB/USD, Japanese yen JPY/USD, Euro EUR/USD.
Colombian Peso under Pressure The Colombian peso has been making headlines lately. There are calls of Colombia to dollarize amidst some expert calls that the COP might be overvalued by as much as 30%. This chart is an update to my last year's chart that correctly forecasted the current price range in the usdcop pair.
According to this chart, continued dollar strength and a weak cop could see prices rise by 30% $4500 once we break the key $3500 level.

El peso colombiano ha estado en los titulares últimamente. Hay llamadas de Colombia a dolarizar en medio de algunas llamadas de expertos de que la COP podría estar sobrevaluada hasta en un 30%. Este gráfico es una actualización de mi gráfico del año pasado que pronosticó correctamente el rango de precios actual en el par usdcop.
De acuerdo con este gráfico, la fortaleza del dólar y un policía débil del cop podrían ver los precios aumentar en un 30% a $4500 una vez que rompamos el nivel clave de $ 3500.
USDCOP Macro Flows Towards 3650Risk premium is low once more in EM and we have long term targets spotted at 3650 here.
=> The rise since April is now clearly impulsive and the last and final levels in play now for this 5th wave is 3650. Pullbacks should only be bought, as mentioned in the previous idea (see attached) and now that we have our pullback..you know what to do.
To put simply, a Q3 hike is underpriced and markets will start trading increased odds of a move from the Fed later this year. It's time to start building positions on the buy-side in dollar for the next few months.
Good luck, I know not many are trading EM so feel free to PM or open the discussion below.
Thanks
COP Approaching Support, Potential Bounce!COP is testing its support at 61.25 (100% Fibonacci extension, 61.8%, 50% & 38.2% Fibonacci retracement, horizontal overlap support) where it could potentially rise to its resistance at 68.34 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement, horizontal swing high resistance).
Stochastic (89, 5, 3) is approaching support at 4.55% where a corresponding bounce could occur.
COP: Potential 240M 3-Drive completion Time for some mean reversion play. COP is the sore thumb sticking out amongst the oil plays with the stock making new highs post Feb crash. With results coming up and WTI completing its own 3-Drive formation as the pipes out of the Permian get clogged, it would be a good idea to put on some downside directional trade on COP. Given the out performance vs. the XLE, I would be inclined to look at a -COP/+XLE relative trade here.
BRAZILS STRETCHED RISK PREMIUM MAKES FOR "REAL" LONG OPPORTUNITYBRAZILS RISK PREMUM IS STRETCHED
See "Summary Statistics" in doc below

BRL's risk premium (currently highest across EM peers) looks stretched, given a continued pick- up in growth and reducing near-term political risk. COP's recent rally was likely driven mainly by a reversal of heavy short positioning, without a material shift in the country's economic and political outlook. Recent data releases showed that 2017 exhibited the slowest annual growth since the 2009 crisis (1.8%Y) and growth should remain sluggish in 2018, at 2.3%Y. Uncertainty about the upcoming elections poses an additional challenge for the investment outlook, given that implementing structural reforms could be key to helping to correct the fiscal deficit.
The risk to this trade is that Colombia's economic data surprise to the upside, leading to further appreciation in the currency.
ConocoPhillips Is Set To Gain At Least 45%ConocoPhillips should rise at least 45% by the end of 2019 from Friday's close. Can you beat 45% gain in 20 months? In the short-term the stock should zig-zag to this point. Stock will most likely:
drop toward 55.93
rise toward 70.07
drop toward 59.75
rise toward 87.00 to close out its Elliott Wave Grand Supercycle and achieve at least a double top.
I will publish the full breakdown and track the process on my site
