EAGLE Strategy - $USDTRY: Keeping A Close Watch On E.A.G.L.E.:2018-08-10 - $USDTRY: Keeping A Close Watch On E.A.G.L.E.:
Traders,
Can you count how many times we got burnt on $USDTRY, waiting for a movement that occurred in multiples of the expected forecast, or one that simply turned around? I can: Two too many.
In this case, I want to highlight a few areas that are worth looking as we wait for a probable reversal at the highlight range, namely:
1 - 6.7302
AND
2 - 6.6694
This range is referred to as a strong Bearish Entrenchment, in which reversal are expected to occur IF and ONLY IF price is meant to reverse at this level (per data determined by CROW Code). Here, the assumption is that a reversal is afoot, so we want to test this sensitive area, which will act as a lithmus test for me, you and anyone getting in the habit of using this method.
First, this area is determined as a narrow band at approximately the top 4th of the high-to-most-recent bottom. Estimate a 4th of that height, and draw a narrow band above and below this estimated level.
Second, for this level to be valid and raise suspicion of a reversal therein, wait for price to rally and stomp within the range. This is the time when I like to enter an aggressive counter-trend position. Here, the trend is UP, so I would simply enter a FULL SHORT Trade Opp position. Why FULL? Simply because this would represent the smallest exposure I would EVER get in such a short trade opportunity were price to move adversely and hit the SL, defined as the highest-high attained by price in the frame.
$USDTRY/M15:
COMPONENTS OF A DESCENT:
The targets that I derive out of the CROW Code are typically associated with foreseeable price behavior. This is not the case all the time, but most of the time.
TG-1 & TG-2 - The Last Bullish Entrenchment:
For instance, targets TG-1 and TG-2 are most often associated with a significant pushback, so much so that some traders familiar with TG-1 and TG-2 will often chose to take profit upon validation of TG-1 when no pushback occurred at TG-1, then wait for a break below TG-2 for re-entry towards the other targets.
TG-3, 4, 5 - The Pass-Throughs:
By contrast, TG-3, 4 and 5 are pass-through targets, where some price behavior may occur, but at much less the frequency than what is seen with the first two targets.
For instance, TG-4 would at time be associated with a deeper push-back than would occur at TG-5, but as long as the pushback remains less than 0.384-Fib deep from the prior leg, then there is no reason to expect that an aggressive, early reversal is afoot ... Stay a while longer for TG-5.
The Ultimate Target, TG-u - Risk of Reversal:
Most recently, I came up with an "ultimate target", which is the level most often associated with a reversal, or at least a deep retracement, which I would define as deeper than 0.618-Fib of the entire move down.
That level is one that is the most difficult to trade, simply because once all numerical targets (TG-1, 2, 3, 4, 5) have been hit, there is a sense that price could no longer go any further. This is especially true when a 5-wave count ends at or near TG-5.
However, I have been surprised most often than not with this target, and a retrospective wave count would often reveal that, although TG-5 may have corresponded to the terminal level of a 5th wave, concluding an impulse wave, a Flat would throw its wave-B and surpass that last level. Another observation also shows that while the impulse concluded at a 5th wave, it was only defining wave-A of a larger and yet to complete Elliott Wave Zig-Zag (ZZ), in which wave-C would push a bit further and justify TG-u.
In any case, TG-u is where the grit of trading is found, as it takes nerves of steel to stay the course, or much more as I do, I simply set-and-forget.
As an aside, I have chosen PURPLE as the color of TG-u, as it is the bruising and nose-bleeding that it imparts psychologically during deep decline or advances, respectively.
NOW, WHAT TO DO:
Using the steps that I will define below, simply get into the habit of checking whether price will move in your forecast direction.
The simplest method would be to define a TOP and a BOTTOM, where TOP is the highest high achieved by price, whereas the BOTTOM is the presumed temporary base formed by the recent decline in the chart.
Finally, ENTER SHORT upon breach of BOTTOM. This would often be a conservative entry, compared to an aggressive entry define by E.A.G.L.E.
If instead, price breaks above SL, then you would get out with a solid rational and very little loss, using an objective strategy that you can now reapply once price appears to reverse within an EAGLE range.
$USDTRY/M5: Looking At A Potential A-B-C Correction Into EAGLE:
OVERALL:
Get in the habit of testing your top, where a reversal might occur. To recapitulate:
1 - Define a narrow width from the highest-high to the recent low, from which price may likely be forming a correction.
2 - Said correction should move in a 3-wave form towards the narrow band, or "Bearish Entrapment" in the case of an expected decline.
3 - Enter upon touch-validation of the lower band, or if very aggressive, wait for price to hit the top band, then enter a SHORT position.
4 -Make sure to apply the firmest of discipline by letting go of the trade IF price closes above the SL. Do not even wait for a "BACA" event, or for price to Break-Across and Close Across". Smply get out upon the mere crossing of the SL. Here, SL is the TOP of the price action in the chart, at 6.7996.
5 - MOVING IN THE DIRECTION OF THE TRADE: Seek a target that is STRUCTURAL, that is a target that would correspond to a prior level where price has consolidated. The best method here is to define the center of that consolidation and project it forward as a target. The center is what I have defined in the past as Nodal Core.
6 - MOVING AGAINST THE TRADE: In case of retracement, as may occur at TG-1 or TG-2, look for price spikes that occurred on the "other side" of the counter-advance". Here, the trade expects price to go DOWN. So, look for spikes that occurred as price was moving UP. In the attached chart, I have pointed out to such a spike which occurred on the other side of the wall, hence the name I give to these events: "Transmural", or literally "across the wall".
In a future strategy, I will share a method called AFT, or Aggressive Forwards Trading. This strategy, as with all of the other ones that I teach, is NOT a revelation of the CROW Code. I am only sharing with you all of the means and methods that I have developed over time for successful, stress-freetrading.
By stress-free trading, I am referring to methods that tell you WHEN to enter, WHEN to rethink and WHEN to take profit.
The strategy that I have explained above aims to do just that. It tells you WhEN to enter (E.A.G.L.E. range), WHEN to rethink your position (SL, TG-2, TG-4), and WHEN to exit (TG-2, TG-5 and TG-u).
E.A.G.L.E. stands for E xtremely AG gressive L evel of E ntry.
Cheers,
David Alcindor
Potential Rallying; Predictive Model Eyes Bullish Targets #forexFriends,
PREDICTIVE/FORECASTING MODEL:
Predictive/Forecasting Model eyes the following BULLISH targets:
1 - TG-Hi = 6.5473 - 04 JUN 2015
and
2 - TG-Hix = 6.6721 - 04 JUN 2015
MARKET GEOMETRY:
A break > Point-3 of the background geometry would still see significant resistance to any advance, with a Wolfe Wave / Geo. potentially illustrating the change of a push back. If this occurred at Point-5, then a temporizing decline could occur down along the 1-4 Line. However, based on Geo's Off-Set Rule, a rallying significantly above Point-5 (exacting Point-5') would likely limit such pull back to the level of price Point-4 (circa 6.187).
MOMENTAL LINES:
Note the dominant lines throughout the chart, which form significant dynamic price-pacing supports and resistance. These are likely to play a role in the nascent geometry, as well as subsequent price advances.
OVERALL:
Bulls have defended their territory at the 6.187 level. This level may be temporarily violated, but invalidation of above analysis should come if and once price breaks-below/closes below Point-2 of the geometry, circa 6.1100.

Potential Reversal At 11224 Per Background WW Geo. | $DAX #forexWOLFE WAVE PATTERN:
Potential reversal at 11224 per background Wolfe Wave pattern pending completion at its 5-prime position (i..e: along the 2-4 Line transposed and originating off of Point-3 of the pattern (Blue).
BEARISH OUTLOOK:
Overlay of predictive/forecasting model defines 11224 as a significant reversal potential level. If level holds and sends price back into a declining trend, consider 10593 as a conservative conditional level, whereas 10094 as an opening to the bearish 9745 target.
INVALIDATION OF BEARS:
An Elliott Wave prepares to complete its internal impulse count at both lesser degree (small black font) and higher-degree (large grey font). If and once price completes Point-5 of both impulses, a top-structure would define a level of invalidation if price continued to rally passed it.
OVERALL:
Looking into this coming weak, the predictive/forecasting model calls for a top-reversal at 11224. A decline to the bearish target at 9745 would likely act as a solid floor compared to the two structural levels at 10593 and 10094 - In essence, this week could possible see price tethered between 11224 and 9745 given the structural conditions defined above.
Stay tuned,

$GBP vs. $JPY Nears Significant Resistance | #BOE #BOJ #forexFriends,
Watch for resistance at 193.667 - Predictive Model calls for significant pushback - possibly reversal - at the following qualitative target:
- TG-Hi = 196.311 - 16 JUN 2015
Structural levels lurk below, at 163.079/161.453. This is a L/T chart where the Predictive /Forecasting Model represents heavier players, and is therefore less representative of the synthetic market (i.e.: retail and institutional).
There are no market geometries considered at this time.

$NASX - Interim Correction; Bulls Eye 5859.51 | #nasdaq $NQSYNOPSIS :
1 - Overall price action suggests an incomplete 5-wave impulse with Elliott Wave alternation rules giving way to a complex Wave-IV consolidation with support expected at 4104.70, compared to a simpler Wave-II which occurred between 04-2010 and 10 2011; A resultant Wave-V completion remains pending
2 - Predictive/Forecasting Model eyes ONE pending targets, namely TG-Hix = 5255.11 and a WL level suggesting high-probability reversal level, namely WL = 5859.51
3 - Interim support corresponds to alignment of both a structural level where Intermediate Wave 4 (circled) defined its residence, as well as a quantitative target generated by the same Predictive/Forecasting Model as that which generated above qualitative levels, TG-Hix and WL
A QUICK NOTE ON RSI:
I often receive comments and suggestions about RSI, pointing to so-called divergences, which are typically referred to as "bullish" or "bearish" divergences - I will be short on this, as I have hammered this topics in public lessons several times over the years, but the author had originally suggested that BEARISH divergences in RSI (RED in the RSI field) are commonly associated with BULLISH trending markets, and not with declining markets, as many junior traders tend to perpetrate the same misstatement from misinformed tutors.
If you need to use RSI for a market expected to rally, look instead for POSITIVE (neither bullish, nor bearish) divergences (GREEN in the RSI field), where the origin of the green line imposes a solid support, which price will seldom transgress (as is consistently shown in this case) - The analogy I teach is that of a "shovel", where the origin of the green line is the handle, and the tip is the shovel, propping price up and above to higher height, in a situation where price carves a HIGHER-low against a LOWER-low in RSI ... If confused, just ask me for more examples, or feel free to post some suggestions here or in another appropriate chart ... Kapish?
The inverse is true, where a NEGATIVE divergence is price, where I use the "hammer" analogy, has the handle defining a level which price will not transgress, where the right-end of the RSI (not shown in this chart, since there is no downtrend defined as of yet) would rise at a HIGHER-high, compared to a LOWER-high in price, thus giving the impression of hammering the price further DOWN.
The ORANGE lines are convergent lines, and they simply have no "telling" as to the direction, strength and extent of subsequent price action.
Hope this helps in your own analyses.

#Corn #cbot: Predictive/Forecasting Model Eyes 202'6 #fibonacciFriends,
A rare coverage of the ag-commodity, but here it is - Corn (P) expected to remain under bearish strain, with a confluence of background technical tools pointing down towards the 244'4 to 202'6 range, against a foreground Predictive/Forecasting Model eyeing bearish targets as low as 202'6.
TECHNICAL TOOLS: Fibonacci, Shark and 5-0 Patterns
An overlay of Fibonacci matrices in Roman numbers with contraction and extension values is shown below:
Fib-I = 0.886 points to a Scott Carney's Shark targe, as follows:
Note that the Shark pattern originates at Point-zero and completes at Point-C, being the acolyte precursor of the 5-0 pattern (see below).
Note also that Point-C of the Shark is Fibonacci-dependent upon TWO values, 0.886 as in the case of this posted chart, but also 1.131, where this tiny extension is often encountered as the inscribed pattern in the same price field, as follows:
Note also, as mentioned above, that the acolyte of the Scott Carney's Shark pattern is the 5-0 patten, which is a reactionary conclusion of the Shark, typically retracing fifty percent of the Shark's last swing, hence the five-zero, or simply 5-0 pattern, as follows:
$CAC40 Under Geo's Bearish Pressure | #fibonacci #euro $EUR $GBPFriends,
Following is a composite technical analytic view of $CAC40, in which all aspects of technical tools are displayed as shown in the following chart - We will dissect each of there thereafter:
Looking in detail at each of the following components, let's consider the following items:
1 - PREDICTIVE/FORECASTING MODEL:
As a foreground, stand-alone proprietary element, the "Model" is defining the following BEARISH targets:
1 - TG-Lo = 3759.18 - 12 AUG 2015
and
2 - TG-Lox = 3384.19 - 12 AUG 2015
GEO'S OFF-SET RULE:
The Geo relies on adverse excursions to establish high-probability targets, such that the following expresses the "Geos' Off-Set Rule":
1 - Price retracing from Point-5 aims for validation along the 1-4 Line (Wolfe Wave rule);
2 - Price retracing from Point-5' (most common occurrence) aims for price level corresponding to Point-4;
and
3 - Price retracing from Point-5'' (least common occurrence) aims for a price level corresponding to Point-3.
In the case of the current chart, price retraces from Point-5', thus aiming for a HIGH-PROBABILITY target corresponding to Point-4, which in terms of the Predictive/Forecasting Model corresponds to:
- TG-Lo = 3759.18 - 12 AUG 2015
In the most immediate support, consider the following cluster:
1 - 1.618-FE = 4180.54
and
2 - Nodal Core = 4193.88 ("ND")
and
3 - Point-1 of Geo, offering a structural point of repose as price retraces from Point-2 and Point-5'.
Where 1.618-FE = ND
As shown in the dashed arrow in the chart, this structural level is likely to see a slight retracement capped at the support-turned-resistance of 4601.90.
STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS:
Levels 1, 2 and 3 on the left side of the price field represent structural levels, such that:
1 - Number-1 represents that level of Geo's Point-1, offering the most immediate structural support from retracement of swing between Geo's Point-2 and Point-5'.
2 - Number-2 Offers a temporizing support which defined a channel capped above by #1 as defined above and #3, which offered the first and subsequent R/S levels as shown - This levels happens to line up with Model's TG-Lo = 3759.18 - 12 AUG 2015 level.
3 - Number, as explained above, also happens to line up with Model's TG-Lox = 3384.19 - 12 AUG 2015 level.
OVERALL:
Bears are taking over. Invalidation would occur if and once price rallied above Point-5', or 5283.71. Still, the Model remains the dominant indicator at this point, tilting the balance in favor of bears with targets defined above and further supported by technicals as mentioned above as well.

$USD v. $TRY - #elliottwave & Predictive/Forecasting AnalysisFriends,
Predictive/Forecasting Model hit an unannounced target at the current price vicinity of 3.06557. I have constructed this DAILY chart to comprise three degrees of Elliott Waves: Cycle, Primary and Intermediate.
In these relative terms, the recent top would likely represent cycle III of a Period of an Intermediate (5). The relevance of this detailed nomenclature is relative to its internal parts, but also to the probable price action we are about to face.
The most important element here is that we are likely arrived at a significant resistance, topping a cycle-degree impulse, and now descending to a probable correction into a Cycle wave IV.
EQUALITY:
Keeping a quasi-equality among Wave II and Wave IV, we are expecting a possible 434 resolution of a correction/impulse completion, first as the aforementioned Cycle Wave IV, and a final push to higher highs as an impulsive Cycle Wave V.
ALTERNATION:
Consideration must be given to Elliott Wave's Rule Of Alternation, wherein Cycle Wave II corrected into a complex 5-3-5 zigzag (more specifically a declining Leading Diagonal, followed by a rising Triple Zigzag, then concludinghte entire correction into a declining Impulse - The overall motion is detailed as "LD-TZ-IMP" over a 434 daily bar span).
Conversely, the alternation in the current Cycle Wave IV correction should occur as a simpler IMP-ZZ-IMP, giving shape to the simpler ZZ prescribed in the chart as the larger PINK zig-zag.
TARGETS - ELLIOTT WAVE & FORECASTING/PREDICTIVE MODEL BASED:
- ELLIOTT WAVE SUPPORTIVE TARGET:
There are two targets in the chart. First, a supportive target defined by expectation of Elliott Wave's rule of correction seeking origination level of a preceding Wave-4 of one lesser degree, hence sought out at Intermediate Wave (4) = 2.62980.
Staying respectful of the aforementioned EQUALITY rule, the projected height of Cycle Wave II is thus used to approximate the termination level of Cycle Wave IV, such that the top of the range anchors at Cycle wave III = Primary = Intermediate (5).
This does NOT result in any Fibonacci cluster, as the Fibonacci matrix is anchored at Intermediate (2) to Intermediate (5), and fails to offer a cluster at the 0.618 level. This level was relevant at the bottom left of the chart, since it offered the launching base from Cycle II completion to the recent Cycle III completion.
PREDICTIVE/FORECASTING MODEL TARGET:
The Predictive/Forecasting Model here offers a final target, namely:
- TG-Hix = 3.26772 - 14 OCT 2015
This target is a qualitative designation (ie.: TG- Hi/Lo and TG-Hi.Hix), which is associated with reversals rather than retracements. This means that if and once price rallies from the approximate base just defined, we are likely to see significant rejection and a probable roll-over.
Note that the 0.618-Fib level that correlates the two Cycle Wave II and IV can be used as a measure of anticipation, perfectly lining up its infamous 1.414-Fib, which is the value I often seek in an aggressive counter-trend market where reversals tend to occur.
OVERALL:
Look for a probable simpler correction to the levels defined, and an impulsive Cycle Wave completion at the Predictive/Forecasting Model target of 3.26772.

$MIB Sees Limited Upside To 25013 Before Geo Completion | #euroFriends,
A confluence of technical hurdles is likely limiting any immediate upside potential in the Italian MIB Index, based on the following set of observations:
1 - ELLIOTT WAVE + GEO: In the most recent past (12-19 OCT 20009), price rallied to complete Elliott Wave's 4th wave, completing its corrective swing at 24558.00. This became a spring board from which bears plunged to 12296.00 on week of 23 JULY 2012 - This nadir defined the completion of a full bearish Elliott Wave impulsive swing at its 5th wave, as well as plotted the Geo's Point-2. As price rallied correctively from that level, it crunched the most recent price action into a narrow range from which to spring into that prior 24558.00 support-turned-resistance level.
2 - RECIPROCAL AB = CD SYMMETRY: As price unfolds into a correction, internal analysis of recent price action at this weekly scale reveals that a geometric projection could carry price to or slightly above the vicinity of the historical structural 24558.00 level. This geometry does not occur over the entire length of the recent corrective upswing, but structural analysis of lows vs. highs allow for a fair projection via an internal ab = cd pattern.
3 - PREDICTIVE/FORECASTING MODEL: As a stand-alone method, the Predictive/Forecasting Model has defined a high-probability resistance level defined as:
- TG-Hi = 25013.54 - 12 AUG 2015
This represents a qualitative target which is most able to impose a reversal event. In the context of above technical events, this adds credence to the probability of resistance and retracement as mentioned, with the 1-5' Line acting as an additional back-stop to a probable rallying into these targets.
OVERALL:
Technical analysis combined with predictive/forecasting model favor a limited upside potential to a narrow 24558.00/25013.54 range. A background Geo adds further weight through its geometry, raising the expectation of a retracement to a price level (18031.76 to 17555.77), corresponding to Point-4, as set by the Geo's Off-Set Rule.

$XAG vs. $USD Rests At Bullish Entrenchment; Eyes 17.564 | $SLVFriends,
Watch for potential rally into the 17.564/17.757 range per Geo's Off-Set Rule, as price defined a higher-low structure into the bullish entrenchment - See following chart:
Look for commodity-sensitive currencies, such as $AUD, $NZD, $CNH and correlated leaders such as $XAU, $XPT charts (posted earlier this week) for supportive hints in terms of similar directional biases.
Background geometry at play is the Geo, as implied by above Off-Set Rule, whereas the Predictive/Forecasting Model remains quiet at this time.

Bullish bias to 17.564/17.757 range as Geo=based targets.

Wolfe Wave Pending; Model Targets 1063.34 | #elliottwave $SPXFriends,
I would like to consider the possibility that the SP500 Index might carve out a higher high, based on a set of technical conditions I will define below.
PREDICTIVE/FORECASTING MODEL:
First and foremost, the Predictive/Forecasting Model I use in the foreground of my analysis has defined a probable bullish target, namely:
- TG-Hix = 1063.34 - 12 OCT 2015 (For those intrigued by numeral plays, you might perhaps enjoy the mathematical relationship of this relative to the fractional period)
This target is a qualitative target, or Qual-Target, which not only represents the highest allowable target by the Predictive/Forecasting Model, by also by its nature will tend to impose a reversal - not just retracement - as a counter-force against price.
ELLIOTT WAVE:
Now, looking at the general gist of price action in terms of Elliott Wave count, I have ascribed three degrees of scale to this monthly chart:
1 - A Cycle degree, denoted by the tail-end of a large multi-year bullish impulse, denoted by circled points , and (here using the brackets to indicated a circle)
2 - An Intermediate degree denoted by the last bullish impulse in parenthesed points (1)-(2)-(3)-(4)-(5), whereby point (3) carved the historical top and the reactive low in point (4) remains a tentative structure low, likely expressing the beginning of a zig-zag based on its initial reactive, counter-trend impulse (Note: a ZZ is the only correction expressing its initial leg in a 5-wave form). Point (5) is thus pending.
3 - A Minor degree denoted by a completed impulse of internal minor points 1-2-3-4-5 of intermediate wave (3).
Note also that as a general rule, an extended 3rd wave is associated with an equality rule, relating Wave-1 and Wave-5 such that the two are equal in height (here, 237.42 points), such that Intermediate wave-5 is expected to reach 1044.87.
WOLFE WAVE ANALYSIS
A 5-point geometry is nearing its entire cycle, expressed by Mr. Bill Wolfe's Wolfe Wave, where convergence of 1-3 and 2-4 Lines define a 1-4 Line, also known as the "Target Line" - This TL remains pending and quite proximal to a potential rallying.
FIBONACCI ANALYSIS:
First, let's propose that the recent Intermediate Wave 5 and Intermediate wave 4 hold the following Fibonacci relationship, such that:
Intermediate Wave 5 = 1.618 x Intermediate Wave-4 = 1035.49.
This Fibonacci based target (which is one that is quite standard and typically anticipated when relating these waves) comes near-alignment to above Predictive/Forecasting Model = 1063.34, and in even closer alignment with the equality-based intermediate wave-5 = 1035.49.
OVERALL:
Whereas the Predictive/Forecasting Model stands as an independent element in the analysis, it is interesting to note that there is compelling evidence which can be made here to expect not only further advance in the SP-500 Index, but also a probable reversal at the 1035.49/1044.87/1063.34 cluster.
To be followed.

Consolidation Capt At 60.65; Fllor Opened To 21.02 | $WTICFriends,
Predictive/forecasting model suggests a limited upside with a potential retracement target and cap as follows:
1 - TG-Hi = 56.79 - 04 FEB 2015, representing a low-probability, high-reversibility target
and
2 - 60.75 -- 04 FEB 2015, representing a "terminal velocity" capping value.
The taut value in RSI at 4.8489 corresponded to the recent nadir in price at 43.56. At this point, one would expect a recoiling of RSI back to its 30-line. Were to to occur, there would not necessarily be a proportionate range traveled by price, as bears are likely to continue weighing on price action in a way that may correspond to the Model's defined target overhead.
In fact, a higher low in RSI value would be sufficient to throw price to a lower-low value, at a level that would correspond to the model's target-low at 21.02 - This nominal target carries a low-probability attainment, but high-reversibility potential, if and once reached.
This overall price action is similarly anticipated in the $Brent's chart, posted recently with its own bearish target - See analysis/forecast here:
- .
It now seems quite a distant past when last year, I offered this forecast off of a Wolfe Wave:
-
OVERALL:
$USOil is caught within a bearish impulse, given a probable respite in the form of a consolidation. Model anticipates a capped reaction to levels defined in the chart, with a lingering bearish bias until the vicinity of 21.02 is reached - At which point, it will be time to re-evaluate the true reversibility nature of this nominal target.
Stay tuned,

$GBP v $CAD Eyes Lofty 1.98420 Targets | #BOE #BOC #crude #oilFriends,
$GBPCAD has been kind to us in terms of letting the Predictive/Forecasting Model remain tethered to the actual price action - See the following frames illustrating the prior successful forecast:
$GBPCAD-4Hour Chart: 6 months ago
SOURCE: "$GBP v $CAD - Wolfe Wave Completes; Model Eyes 2.08057 "
bit.ly/1OvHueq
Today, we are returning to this pair as we consider the #crude #oil correlation this is likely to submit to. As you may already know, the $CAD is highly correlated to the price of oil. As I have provided in the recent analyses with $USOil (Crude Oil pricing), an interim rally was called to reach 42.57 - Following are the frames that define the imminent hit of that target ... The dates of the chart are inscribed within the top-left corner:
SOURCE: "Anatomy Of A (limited) Retracement"
bit.ly
As of today (14 APR 2016), the 42.57 target remains pending and quite imminent, as price engaged into a consolidation pattern. Now, considering the correlate in $GBPCAD, where the positively correlated $CAD is thus expected to decline with the expected reversal in $USOil, the result would carry $GBPCAD to the levels define, namely the Fibonacci's 0.386, 0.500 and 0.618 in order of decreasing strength of probability of attainment:
The dashed arrow offers a probable pathway with pre-defined R/S levels.

Predictive Model Eyes 41.06 Support; Duo Geo's Off-Set Rule #3SYNOPSIS:
MARGET GEOMETRIES:
- GEO:
This represents a high-probability event, whereby two Geos have a shared 5-second point defined. As per the Geo's Off-Set Rule list, this third condition calls for a limited rally to the price level corresponding to Point-3.
- JANUS (Proprietary Pattern):
A prop pattern is lending support to a probable near-term support at the 40.07/41.06 range. This is often associated with a reversal to the levels corroborating those of the Geo's higher levels of attainment, namely along the 1-4 Line.
PREDICTIVE/FORECASTING MODEL:
On its own, the Predictive/Forecasting Model eyes an interim rallying that is likely to be limited. However, as per the Geo's overlap, a subsequent rallying of lesser probability could occur as shown in the chart.
OVERALL:
In the most immediate timeframe, price is likely to be tethered within a low of 40.07 and a high of 57.54. If price gains bullish momentum, it should break the 59.16 roof and rally to the height defined in the chart near 85.38 at a maximum, or along the dotted blue 1-4 Line at a minimum.
INVALIDATION:
Look for dashed forecast line failure for a general invalidation, although a significant break below 40.07 would cause a complete revision of this Model's based forecast.

Geo-In-Geo Cycle Completion | $AUD $JPY #RBA #BOJ #aussie #yenSYNOPSIS:
GEO:
We return to this pair chart anew, looking at a geometric cycle completion of 2 Geo's:
In essence, a rally to the 1-4 Line of the Geo is called for, based on the concomitant completion of a Geo (Black) within a Geo (Blue).
CONDITIONS:
1 - AGGRESSIVE: Look for a slight retracement to the 78.619/78.139 range
-- INVALIDATION: BACA < 77.582
2 - CONSERVATIVE: A break out to the topside of the 77.582/82.428 range
-- CONFIRMATION: BACA > 82.428
3 - TARGETING the 1-4 Line for partial profit ... Consideration of the 1-3 Line validation off of Point-2 (top dashed line in faint blue) IF price remains above the BLUE 1-4 Line and below the BLACK 1-4 Line.
PREDICTIVE/FORECASTING MODEL:
Targets defined by Predictive/Forecasting Model are as follows:
1 - TG-Hi = 91.083 - 28 FEB 2016
AND
2 - TG-Hix = 92.808 - 28 FEB 2016
Note that both are Qual-Targets, so they offer a lesser probability of attainment compared to Quant-Targets, but would impart a great reversible power upon price - See more explanation on this methodology here:
- www.linkedin.com
OVERALL :
Bullish outlook with invalidation level at 77.852, aggressive ("EAGLE") trigger at the 78.619/78.139 range, and conservative trigger at 82.428.

$AAPL Seeks Technical Support | #forex #aapl #fibonacci #nasdaqFriends,
I light of the recent market decline, I thought to put $AAPL under varying strengths of technical lenses, looking for potential support levels.
PREDICTIVE/FORECASTING MODEL:
First of all, standing on its own, the "Model" defined the following bearish targets:
1 - TG-1 = 100.28 - 22 AUG 2015
2 - TG-Lo = 91.86 - 22 AUG 2015
3 - TG-Lox = 86.40 - 22 AUG 2015
and
4 - Watch Line = 79.11 - 22 AUG 2015
QUANT VS. QUAL TARGETS, FIBONACCI ORDERS & BEARISH TRENCHES:
Above targets carry a vanishing probability of hit, starting with TG-1, which represents a quantitative target (i.e.: TG-1, TG-2, ... etc.) compared to qualitative targets, such as the next three. Whereas a quantitative target is associated with past or future pivot definition, it is also associated with mere retracements in the Fibonacci order not to exceed 0.618. In contrast, qualitative targets will tend to define reversals, that is Fibonacci reversals exceeding 0.618, and often reversing to Fibonacci extensions in the order of 1.272, 1.313, 1.414 or 1.618.
For this reason, I have also defined a probable Bearish Entrenchment if and once price were to rally and challenge the current market gravity once any of the QUAL-Targets (TG-Lo, TG-Lox, WL) were used as a reversal springboard. This overhead bearish entrenchment is defined by a very narrow range: 131.26/132.79.
STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS:
Aside the Predictive/Forecasting Model, and supportive of most of above targets, one can appreciate the near-alignment of TG-1 = 100.28 with a prior historical structural high at 100.72 right in 17 SEP 2012.
Similarly, TG-Lo = 91.86 comes in a near alignment with a prior, discreet structural high at 92.00 reach in 09 APR 2012.
These alignments between the Predictive/Forecasting Model and historical structures is likely to impose significant resistance to bears.
OCCULT GEOMETRY: NODE & NODULAR CORE:
As discussed several times before (Google "node nodal core nodule nodular core 4xforecaster"), the presence of seemingly innocuous, discreet retracements within swing, often imposes support, resistance and define additional temporizing pivots in subsequent price advances. Here, a large retracement defined between 100.72 and 55.01 offers a 50% point that comes in near alignment with the Predictive model's outer most tolerance level, a level which typically suggests that, if reached, further analysis would need to occur at 4-times the current timeframe (e.g.: M15 to H1, H1 to H4, ... etc.).
The alignment between the Nodal Core and the Watch Line is not predictive, but indicative of a need to augment timeframe (i.e.: lessen the sensitivity of the Predictive/Forecasting Model).
OVERALL:
There is much more discussion to be had in technical analysis. Above is simply a few technical markers worth heeding, as they tend to correlate structurally. A simpler reciprocal ab = cd symmetry could also be applied as shown in the chart, and one may have to consider the possibility of the classic Head & Shoulder development.
In any case, I tend to hold any personal directional sentiment and instead rely on the stand-alone "Model", whose targets have been defined above.

$SPX - Model Remains Intent On Bullish Targets, Interim DeclineQuick Analysis:
STRUCTURAL HURDLES:
Two levels to watch for, each likely to determine the onset of a bullish or bearish price action, respectively ... Namely:
1 - One proximal yet technically at 2134.71, based on probable bearish entrenchment
and
2 - A second at 1821.61, based on price behavior along this line.
ELLIOTT WAVE ANALYSIS::
WAVE COUNT:
Wave count remains in doubt, although there is a good probability that we are entering a corrective phase. At this time, I am discerning a multi-year primary motive wave, extending from late to present. Note that the morphology of this impulse suggests a Wave-3 Extension.
EQUALITY:
Considering the nature of Wave-3 extension, this typically calls for equality of amplitude and time shared by Wave-1 and Wave-5. One can only approximate what timing might mean at this time, but it might be worth noting that the amplitude is maintained as shown, were price to find renewed elan from the lesser-degree Wave-4, which is a standard expectation in corrective wave form and function.
ALTERNATIONS:
Primary wave-2 and wave-4 appear to comply to alternations, whereby the former completed a Flat (3-3-5 internals), compared to the initiation of a probable zig-zag ("ZZ" with 5-3-5 internals, currently terminating a probable internal wave-b). If current correction is indeed a ZZ, expect a sharp counter-trend to the downside.
This is as timid a wave analysis AS I am willing to RISK, as I am remain unsure about the current status of the correction.
PREDICTIVE/FORECASTING MODEL:
The "Model" remains intent on two bullish targets, namely:
1 - TG-Hi = 2207.48 - 13 SEP 2015
AND
2 - TG-Hix = 2404.35 = 13 SEP 2015
I have produced several analyses on this index over the past year and some, and most of the data generated by the Predictive/Forecasting Model has stubbornly approximated these values. So, for the sake of simplicity, I will make this recent analysis the defining moment of these recurrent bullish targets.
OCCULT GEOMETRIES:
There is no outstanding geometry at this time. A simple channel remain in force as illustrate below. Any emerging geometry would be published if it appears at the 4-hour frame and above.
OVERALL:
Recent analyses in $USD have support a probable interim decline in the #USDollar index. Considering the positive correlation that exists between this benchmark and the $USDJPY (imminent decline per recent analysis), one should remains open to the possibility of a significant decline.
A break below 1821.61 would also open the floor to bearish targets. I often "force" the Predictive/Forecasting Model to "look at the other side" in terms of possible counter-trend scenarios. The following chart illustrate what target might emerge if such lesser-probable downturn were to occur:

Anatomy Of A (limited) Retracement | $WTI #crude #oil $USOilSYNOPSIS:
PRICE ANALYSIS:
1 - Dominant trend remains bearish in DAILY chart - See larger scale analysis here: bit.ly
2 - This 4-HOUR chart highlights circumstantial technical evidence of an interim rally:
-- First bullish failure sets price into a descending series of 0.386-Fibonacci retracements
-- Last retracement represents a higher-order of Fibonacci level, implying nascent bulls overcoming bears
3 - A larger retracement is expected to occur up to 42.57, or approximating 0.618-Fib of the overall decline:
RSI ANALYSIS:
1 - A series of negative divergences (not bearish divergence) heralded a high-probability decline
-- A negative divergence occurs where RSI carves a higher-high against a lower lower or double-top in price - Expect a significant decline once this high-probability event occurs (higher prob than bearish divergences)
-- Each negative divergences occurred with a single penetration of the 70-Line - Bears are pressing against bulls
-- The most recent RSI illustrates a double 70-Line validation - Bulls are pressing against bears.
