Trumprally
Happy new year! Another year of the trump bubble.Tops of all crashes since 1987 have all topped at fibonachi time ratios. The next one is not until the end of 2019 so 2018 will be another good year to be bullish on the DOW. the main risk will be the 27000 resistance so you could take profit there and waiting for a breakout before buying up again (see another chart on my account for bearish view from 27000). The clone also seems to line up very nicely on the chart and obeys the time and price fib levels, use it as a guide. The elliott wave count suggests that this is the final wave, but since waves 1 and 3 were not extended then wave 5 should be extended. The final take profit will be at around 50,000 (probably sooner) but that will not happen for a few years.
Keep buying pullbacks and adding to your position until you are driving a Lamborghini on the moon... and be aware that this could crash big when it does end because we are buying into a bubble, so be careful.
revised chart, same targetsI think the bulls will be able to get a double bottom with Thursdays low, and then push forward to 2500. I would expect a pullback to the bottom of the bull channel at this stage. 2500 is a big round number and a target for both the bulls to take profit and the bears to start shorting.
possible top in sight for S&P, end to the trump rally?Based on trading range targets and and resistance at the top of the trend channel line, profit taking and short positions may be taken round these levels round 2480.0. if the S&P gets up here the likelyhood of testing 2500 is a real possibility. The S&P could then test the bottom of the shorter term channel and may even go further to test the bottom of the long term channel.
with the market being as strong as it is at the moment, and at the top of its channel shorting can be a risky strategy. i will be watching these levels closely for the bears to show some strength before considering a short position. At the moment any attempt by the bears have been bought by the bulls.
S&P500 Long Term Bull Setup
Having pushed lower last week, it looks like the index may be heading lower for the time being, i intend on waiting for price to test the lower long term channel, placing limit orders at and below the fib .236 line, and waiting for high volume. Uncertainty surrounding the trump rally abound, there may be opportunities to buy cheap in the coming weeks, lets just hope not too cheap...
GL and Happy Easter
GBPUSD Range Trade from 1.215 - 1.26GBPUSD ranging between well tested support and resistance levels at 1.215 and 1.26.
Based on existing uncertainty surrounding Brexit, and fears of 'Trump Rally' reversal I hesitate to predict the trend going forward, but as 'Brexit' appears to be at least partially priced in, I'm more comfortable buying below support, with a tight SL, and TP at 1.26. This strategy is supported by the high volumes accompanying bull candles at the bottom of the range, suggesting high Sterling demand at these levels.
This is all contingent on no major surprises in the economic releases for the next few weeks.
USD ZAR explosion about to happen (Post trump inauguration)1 To go up if markets already priced in trump uncertainty post press conference.
2) To go down (forecast is actually conservative so, expect even lower reaches) if market hasn't priced in trump uncertainty.
Trump has no real policies and markets may see this when he's confirmed.
2 seems most likely but things have been a bit weird around trump, so expect 1 as well. Moves to start Friday and to take off Monday.

Dollar index (DXY) 2016-2017 Analysis: Wave 4 correction is due.Talking Points:
DXY Technical Strategy: Keeping bullish outlook but temporary correction due
Elliottwave Count: Nested impulsive count, wave 4 correction is due
Analysis
DXY (Dollar Index) is trading impulsive in post election session and able to break channel resistance. We were calling reversal from 19-Aug-2016 and looking for 100 levels during August month. Current count is suggesting more upside towards 103 and above. However, we are expecting small set back of this impulsive rally as part of wave 4, we were seeing small correction in shorter time frame but that is still too shallow.
Action
As We are expecting small set back to re-test channel support, we are looking to re-initiate our long position on dollar basket, i.e. we are looking to sell EUR/USD (Euro / US dollar), NZD/USD (New Zealand Dollar / US Dollar), Crude Oil, etc.
