A "1.13" Setup ?Just thought I would provide this as something to think about.
Perhaps this is something you may not have considered.
Should the "abc" within the "Y" leg in fact turn out to
be 5 waves (rather than 3 as shown here), we would then
have a large expanding flat beginning at the Jan '18 peak.
Should this occur, then depending on where the 5th wave of "c"
came in, this setup may/may not then fall within the 1.13-1.618 range.
DIA trade ideas
Shorting the DOW. SL & TPThe Dow is currently rejecting significant trend lines on the weekly time frame and we are witnessing decreasing volume from a weekly perspective also.
As many of you know who follow me, these trade set ups are what I look for as it allows me to set up a good risk:reward ratio in my trade plan with significant price action changes having to occur to stop my trade out. The good old saying goes, The Trend is Your Friend!
Fundamentally, we know that the future is dark economically, and generally I do not look further then technical analysis when implementing a trade plan. But when we look at the fundamental uncertainty on top of the technical set up, we have to get excited about this particular position. If you are following me, you would have noticed a few weeks ago I published a short position for NASDAQ. Well, NASDAQ has since dropped significantly while the DOW has not further indicating that we are both fundamentally and technically advantaged in this trade set up.
I have published the daily chart so that we can view the results of this trade day by day instead of waiting for weekly candles to roll over to update the chart.
DIA IndecisionIndecision in the Market right now.
Bear Case:
*Multiple failed attempt to break resistance
*Head and Shoulder formation
*Broken wedge up
*Lack luster volume
*Bearish divergence on RSI
***Motivation for break lower : recession fears
Bull Case:
* 50 MA broke back above 200 MA
* Price holding above those two MAs
* Symmetrical Triangle engulfing the H&S (Larger pattern usually plays out)
* Possibly a bull flag forming (look at it in the weekly)
***Motivation for break higher : Trade deal
****Personally, I think we break lower... Let's talk about it!
ermah gerd someone mentioned trade talksclosed net short trades on BA switched to Long on DIA. trade talks to happen monday and the market looks excited. vix futures still heavily in contango. vix cash below all futures months. based on net change dia options look the juiciest. atm strangle infers plus or minus $3.60. i expect the excitement of trade talks to exceed those levels. i expect to cut positions by monday or tuesday
Elliott Count of DIA - Bear Move May Start Next WeekElliott Wave Count: Flat Correction (3-3-5)
- Waves A and B of the Flat have completed.
- Wave C is an Ending Diagonal (*A very small percentage of diagonals appear in the C-wave position* | sequence 3-3-3-3-3)
Current Predictions
1)
Targeted "Top" of Wave C of Ending Diagonal Wave 4 of the Flat Correction near the .618 Fib @ $242.84
2)
Beginning of descending Wave 5 of Ending Diagonal Wave C (of the Flat Correction) estimated to begin next week: January 16/17th
3)
If the current trend surpasses $248 , everything here is wrong/the Ending Diagonal Count is INVALID.
$DIA Make or BreakMajor test pending for $DIA of upper downward channel.
Each leg down was followed by a .786 FIB retracement- the latest leg being no different.
.50 Channel FIB acted as prior support and is a good first target for shorts.
Just how much we overshot to the downside in DEC, we've likely now overshot to the upside.
Stochastics started to diverge a week ago.
Sitting at BRN (Big Round Number) / Psych Resistance of 25K.
$SPX & $QQQ both hovering at D1 200EMA.
$XLF & $XRT failed to breakout of range.
$XLY & $XLY brokeout with very weak strength.
Have to imagine we see profit-taking either into the weekend or next week.
Feeling like this week is going to end with a sideways-drift, possible lower and folks are going to re-balance beginning in FEB.
WelpIt looks like instead of a breakdown that I foretasted, we are going to complete a 5th wave. we are getting some resistance from the trend line that I drew from the lower highs since the October selloff. We should be able to get past that. Obviously we have a big PUT underneath us, but I will spare talking about that because that's not TA
Dow Jones Average - Projected Prediction Path until 10/1/19 +/-Greetings All!
This is my projected prediction path from present day 1/26/19 until about September/October of 2019.
Obviously there will be ups/downs along the way... but I narrowed out buy/sell date ranges in the short term.
Just my opinion and analysis based on technical analysis, market cycles and personal theories. I will place trades
for my self based on my analysis.
If I prove to be near correct or almost certain of this, feel free to follow my work (ZCM Trading) with more to come!
