In the realm of swing trading, the struggle for liberation is forever prevalent. It would be wrong to ignore the opening move here at 1205;

The ladder is empty


This kickstarted the entire move towards $1305, once outside of the wedge buyers took an "anything goes" approach to the price as risk began to evolve over time. While the triangle from an elliot wave perspective was deemed risky, this move now became a standard:

Large triangle forming...?


What is much more the point, is the rise in popularity of the wedge break. It was offering opportunities on both sides and while inflation was absent during 1H19 it presented a tradable ABC correction:

Leg D completed on the Weekly... expecting bears to come in here


Whilst the cat is away (inflation)... the mouse can play


The lows held and was sending loud messages that real money was on the move, this was a BTFD opportunity as see in these positions:

We finally got the break...

In conclusion, by now we should all be fully loaded on the buy side here. There has certainly been opportunities even in this last leg to have increased exposure via PBOC intervention:

You get the point. A textbook example of setting up the foundations for a major swing and executing on it with precision. The macro assured us the whole time that sellers would not be able to compete!!

Hope it has helped.. thanks as usual for keeping your support coming with likes, comments and etc!
