NZDUSD Possible Wave-countDespite its choppiness since the start of this year, the NZDUSD pair has traced out what may be considered to be a respectable impulse wave.
By this count, wave 2 and wave 4 held at their respective 61.8% retracements of wave 1 and 3, and wave 5 is an ending diagonal whose subwave ii retraced a bit more sharply than normal. Additional reasons to believe that the impulse wave has ended are the tweezer top formation just shy of the psychologically significant round number 0.7000 reinforced by a spike in volume.
If this count is correct, we are currently in a corrective wave down. Trading this wave is doubly safe because the larger macro trend is down, despite the upward momentum since the start of the year. Furthermore, even if we are in the start of a new uptrend, we might expect a sharp correction in the ensuing second wave.
Bearing in mind that ending diagonals often retrace swiftly to their point of origin, the safest way to trade the NZDUSD in the near future would be to buy the breakdown of the lower ascending trendline.
A more conservative approach would be to wait for the likely pullback in wave B since A is the third touch of the trendline, and short anywhere in the entry zone between 0.6885 and 0.6965.
The hard stop should be just above 0.7000. Take profit is at the bottom of wave 5 around 0.6500.
A key price level to take note of is 0.6755, which is the top of wave 3 as well as the possible base of corrective wave A. Consider scaling out and locking in profits in this region.
A possible scenario for this wave-count being incorrect is if wave 4 completes at the point currently marked subwave ii. If so, we are in the final subwave of an ending diagonal, in which case a violent reversal is to be expected at 0.7000. Either way, a sufficiently well placed stop just above 0.7000 should not be hit.
Best of luck!
Money-Maker Breakout Stock, MNGAMagneGas (MNGA) has recently had a large order placed to place acetylene in plants for an unnamed cement company (Argos Cement is being named as the number one suspect for the company who placed the order). This caused the stock to gain 10.1% up to .95 a share from its previous .84 a share. There was also a volume spike due to the breaking news the company issued which increased the volume up to 11,325,224 trades, while it's average volume is only 608,502 trades. A similar occurrence happened in late March of last year when the volume spiked up to almost 30,000,000 trades and in turn increased the price to 2.40 a share. The overall trend of the stock from its last price spike is bearish but with news of a new gas order and the profit margin rising almost 850% I believe we are looking at an extremely high probability of a breakout where we could see prices reach upwards of 1.05-1.15 short-term and up to 1.50-1.70 long-term. Definitely a stock that could make some serious money if trend continues.
Bullish Divergence should lead JCP back to 7.50sFriday brought the first higher low reading on the mac-d histogram signaling entry for JCP long. This came off of noticeable momentum divergence from both the histogram and the signal lines. Also, RSI showing some divergence. There was above average volume on Friday leading me to believe that the buying brought on will be able to be sustained as we shoot for the upper resistance level.
Institutional Volume Spike and Price Action CloseFriday brought a bullish price action close with some very sizeable volume for BRX. Momentum is creeping higher, and it looks like this could lead to a nice bounce away from the 50 ema which also happens to have landed at a noticeable support level as well. Not shown, the mac-d histogram has also made higher lows for a few days now indicating that bulls are likely stepping back in at this level.
