I have marked in the 6 month and 3 month cycles,which have yielded quite good time pivots
Backtesting the broken 25 level ?





Ftse250


Last week's candle was a bearish dark cloud cover.Now we have a LL and have broken Ganns 14400 level Obviously my C could be a 3 but this is how I'm counting it for the time being


Thursday 30 May 2013

Ftse


another look at the CAC,with the 50% level added. Clearly around 4050 is a big level and with 360* time resistance approaching a reversal seems probable

 Y = 1.618 x W at 4114 so Gann res 4041,Elliot res 4114


CAC

There is a double top on the hourly chart and we have 5 waves down from the 2nd high. We topped pretty well at 50% off the low (Sep 2011, 2694), 4041

Close to to time/price symmetry on these 2 ranges (daily chart) 4000 is the "rounded off" resistance level.  May need one more high on the daily swing chart ?

Line chart 3 drives ,expanding pattern ??

this is one of Sqwii's stocks,China play


Tuesday 28 May 2013

$INDU $DJIA double top at the monthly & yearly R3 pivot point. That usually is a strong sell signal. Next 14850 gap? http://t.co/aARouUJXOU
by @mpgtrader 6 minutes ago via Twitter 


regained 14400. Looking for break of 14400 and ema's to trigger sell signal


ANTO

This looks very bearish - bear flag below neckline  (copper miner)


I posted this back in March. It was a good call on lumber but not so hot as far as stockmarket correlation goes  :-)



edit :  Coincidentally,  Kimble just posted this on lumber

Beans

the bearish shooting star takes the steam out of the bull case for now.We had a warning last week from the daily shooting star


BRBY

we broke above the 3 tops from Jan,Feb and March,which is bullish. Nice Gann relationships from the low at 10,with a low 25% up and now pausing at 50%


HL

This is a retrospective look at HL ie I wasn't  looking at it at the time. I had been bearish the last time I looked a year or so ago  and clearly the stock has done well.I wanted to look at the candles and see what signals it gave. The "elephant bar" concept comes from Oliver Velez and refers to a large candle that suggests heavy institutional buying or selling and is used to enter with a stop below the low of the candle (or above the high)
 We have hit 10 (psychological profit take level) and formed a bearish engulfing candle so watch for a pullback toward the 20 ?

NYSI

this chart is from SoulJester,the link to it is on his blog


Ftse250

As ever my wave counts come with a health warning (but whose don't:-) My C of Y might be a 3rd wave (with 4 and 5 still to come)
What is interesting is 2.618 times the low (14378) being close to Gann's 14400. And 6 years high to high.Chart will look more "toppy" if we start to see confirmed move below 14400

  • Half of America owns only 2.5% of country’s wealth. The top 1% owns a third of it.

  • It is being projected that the U.S. government will have a budget deficit of approximately 1.6 trillion dollars in 2010. How much is that? If you went out and spent one dollar every single second, it would take you more than 31,000 years to spend a trillion dollars.

  • In California’s Central Valley, 1 out of every 16 homes is in some phase of foreclosure.

  • In May 2009, the number of Canadians getting regular employment insurance benefits in reached 778,700, the highest level on comparable records going back 12 years. During the month, the number of people getting EI benefits grew by 9.2%, from April.

  • This recession has erased 8 million private sector jobs in the United States.
  • 39.68 million Americans are now on food stamps, which represents a new all-time record. But things look like they are going to get even worse. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is forecastingthat enrollment in the food stamp program will exceed 43 million Americans in 2011.

here are monthly Gann angles for the Dow. Scale 100 so for example 2x1 is 200 points per month




looks to me like the 1x1's formed a nice channel and we just had an overthrow.The 4x1 has provided nice support for this rally
 the May 2011 high was 12876. The 1x1 from there (100 points per month) was at 15276 this month, 24 months later







this is the cash chart and looks a bit cleaner than the futures charts I posted earlier. The rectangles are equal ie measured move time/price

I think we are in C of Y but my labelling of C is probably wrong ?  This week is 90 weeks cycle from the high.

UsdJpy

if this chart is driving things best guess is that the trend is still looking strong (so risk off may not persist) We got a high 6 months off the November low and stocks have followed suit but the 40 dma and angle support look strong at the moment





(I know some say audjpy is the real chart to watch for risk)

Ftse weekly shooting star reversal

huge shooting star candle yesterday,looks like a decent reversal confirmed  for HSBC. I have boxed in the square from the July 2012 low,maybe we decline into late July cycle ?

I've no idea whether my wave count posted earlier this week for IEV was correct but we seem to have a weekly sell signal in place now
