Toyota

Looks to be losing momentum.The horizontal lines are 38 and 50% retracements.Does not inspire me with confidence that Japan may be starting a bull market.


AAPL

Apple formed a Doji on the weekly chart and a bearish Doji evening star on the daily.This chart is a square based on the current range (300 points) and 1 year from June 20 low.I marked in April 20 as price will equal time (300 degrees)The June - November low to low cycle also balances around then.

looks like we nailed BARC yesterday....down 4% today !


This setup I posted a couple of times recently is looking good.Seems to have a clear break down from the "rainbow"


Lumber

The bullish setup posted a few weeks ago seems to have failed


FTSE Lower high confirmed

We got nice follow through today,with a large black candle confirming the lower high


Here is the other Gann angle chart,with spaces left for holidays/weekends (ie calendar time)

SLW

Looking for a 3rd low here to buy.It may already be in  but safest to watch the 21 dma for a turn and price push above.Cycles show a clear 6 months down from April into October,next low probably next week (at 30 ?)

Ftse

Ftse still looks much weaker than the SPX. Bears need to see this swing fail ,confirming the false break/double top pattern.The moving averages seem to be converging.

Ftse250 elliott count


I have mentioned Gann's concept of "natural time" often.The year is divided into fractions,with the 4 equinox and solstice dates being the main marker.Changes in trend are often seen around these dates.We may just have seen a 3rd successive low in gold on such a date.This chart from Kimble illustrates this principle in action

Gold breaks up from declining wedge

This is Humblestudent's version of the wedge I have posted,with the breakout today

Beans

this is not a forecast,just a look at measured moves and one possible scenario

 

FCX


AAPL

The first range up in a move can be used as a reference range. 3x the base will often mark a high,or at least resistance.




FTSE

FTSE broke the 10x1 line (coloured red) so is in a weak position now.We met a measured move target (wavers would say A=C) and got a false break (or Pinocchio) pattern which is effectively a double top.The Gann 90 day/ 900 point square also seems to have been effective.Lets see if the bear angles start to define a new downtrend.

Buy one get one free

Breakout on volume


Dow 90 weeks,3600 points

The weekly fib counts are also interesting on this.The closing low in July 2010 was 9686 Add 3600= 13286.the low to high 44 week cycle is balanced by the 44 (actually 45) week time span to the recent high.So significant cycles are present but we need a reversal to confirm.

FTSE weekly Macd sell
