Technicals
Weekly: A predominant uptrend on SBK has been evident for a few decades now although there have been a few significant pullbacks. The current structure formation leads me to believe that we are in a large correction at this point in time. I expect some recovery soon and then will be looking for wave 3 of the correction to the downside. I expect this wave to complete on the support of the underlying trend where I will be looking for a reversal to enter the long.
Daily: There has been a break of the downward trendline but I am not convinced of the reversal as yet. I will wait for a confirmation structure on a smaller time frame before entering the long for wave 2 on the weekly time frame.

ETHUSD Intra-day Update - Elliott wave AnalysisHello traders!
We think that the Crypto market didn't find the bottom yet.
BITSTAMP:ETHUSD Ethereum is bearish just like Bitcoin because we see them in a perfect correlation. As expected, it has perfectly hit our projected resistance area around 120 area for wave 4, from where we may see another decline towards new lows for wave 5. If we are right, then ETH has room for 90-80 area! Only if we are surprised by an impulsive bullish continuation back above 180 region, only then we may consider a bullish reversal!
Trade well!
EW ANALYSIS: EURGBP Can Be Forming A Bullish Triangle PatternHello everyone,
EURGBP is trading sideways for the last two years within a very big contracting range. We see that path as a five A-B-C-D-E move where each leg has a characteristic of a correction. It’s a triangle that can be coming to an end of wave B. So, despite very strong leg up in the last few days, this can be still just an early start of a much bigger bullish trend that could lift pair even towards 0.95 area, where we see a nice psychological triangle measurement target.
However, what really matters to me at this point is a bounce from the lower trendline support which means that new, at least temporary swing is now underway to the upper side of a range; to 0.9000. So from a trading perspective, despite potentially limited upside there is room for trades on the long side, especially now when we see a completed five-wave rally. So, a three wave A-B-C pullback on hourly chart can be interested for longs. This view remains valid as long as 0.8655 level is not taken out.
Trade well!
USO! when oil starts the bear move it's one of the easiest tradeI've been doing well buying puts once the corrections are developing. Usually about 3-4 weeks out to allow the correction to develop and so I dont get slammed by theta decay. Now eventually if we're in an impulse to go down, we will need to see a bigger correction to develop. Will we get a few more pushes down before that happens, or will it start right now? Either way I'm looking to purchase another put sometime within the next week (as long as we dont breakout past the downtrend line, this will signal a deeper correction/ reversal depending on how price behaves after that)
Longterm view in the comments. (not confirmed yet, just looking that way)US
thanks for looking, and trade responsibly!
NZDUSD wait for correction!NZDUSD broke the trendline and made expanding flat to confirm that breakout. If you miss this one, there will be another opportunity for buy. New correction is in the making, wait for its completion and then take that breakout. It will be amazing trade!
So keep an eye on it & be patient & trade with care!
P.S. I will show you where was my entry! :)
ADABTC short term Profit? Bitmex May or may not be a large jump for ADABTC but it's going up soon I think. Another Correctional Wave coming.
EW ANALYSIS: Aussie Still Looks BearishAUDUSD is dropping like a rock at the start of the US session, suggesting that a higher degree wave 4 correction had ended with an ending diagonal in its final wave c. In such case, we expect now to see a drop at least in three-waves, where a break below the 0.7100 level would confirm even more weakness for the pair. Also a drop out of an ending diagonal can indicate price to reach the starting point of the pattern, which is in our case at the 0.7040 region or maybe even lower!
However, even if goes more complex here, we remain bearish as long as it's trading beneath 0.7200 invalidation level.
CIG wave count! Already long and looking to add more positions! NYSE:CIG has some nice wave structure going on. The 1st Impulse 1/A wave took the form of a diagonal. Now we're trading withing a slowly descending channel that looks like the upside will come (if not on this current move up, soon) What are your thoughts on this company? I'd love to hear some input!
Thanks for looking, and trade responsibly! Always remember YOU are responsible for making trades! :)
Is GbpUsd finally correcting ?FX:GBPUSD
The trend for the better part of the year has been bearish and there has been no significant correction.
It now seems like price is finally correcting and we are looking to ride this correction.
Our views are also supported by the formation of a bullish gartley at a a significant support area.
Our first take profit is at 1.32 but if this plays out well we might seek to ride this to around 1.35.
With brexit negotiations still ongoing, make sure to have your stops in place. Anything can happen.
IQ are we ready for the next impulse?NASDAQ:IQ has been in a downwards correction for the last 90 days. Now it's starting to look like we might start trending again based off pattern, & divergence. Maybe this becomes a bigger correction in the middle to go down? Any fundamentalists have any input on this one?
There's a buy setup brewing on the lower TF
Let's see what happens!
Is the DXY on its last legs?Fundamentals
The Dollar index has seen strong performance over the last year, however, last weeks performance could indicate a breakdown in dollar strength. Much will rest on this week's US Jobs report, with the hawkish Fed hike already priced into the dollar strength.
Last week the EU posted relatively strong numbers including growing inflation, however consumer confidence missed the estimate. The DXY is largely influenced by the performance of the EUR, more loosely followed by JPY and GBP due to index weightings.
Technical Analysis
The index broke through a key support level last week of 94.20 and then easily broke the 94 level, before quickly retracing.
Expect short term dollar strength as the retracement continues to the 94.50 level. and then a continuation of an impulse wave downwards.
The corrective zigzag wave is almost textbook to indicate the end of a trend, with lower highs and lower lows coming to the fore.
Post this weeks retracement, we could see the DXY target a new support level at 93.20.
This points to a short dollar trade, long EUR. A long XAU or XAG could also play out positively.
GBP/AUD possible expanded flat on dailyGA is right between the 800MA (Blue) and 200MA (red). It came off the 800 turned down. If it was to make an expanded flat here, that would be a lot of pips to the downside to break trend line. It seems to measure out to do that. Keep in mind the time frame and the pair. Plus the speculative nature of this analysis. Also the complications and time span of complex "B" waves.
XAUUSD H4 Bearish Corrective StructureI am busy watching the formation of this bearish structure on XAUUSD. The break to the downside could occur on this wave or we could see a reversal for one more wave up before the break to the downside.

US 30 IN ABC CORRECTION MINOR WAVE OF LARGER ZIGZAGUS 30 traded below Tuesday high of 25888, closing 98 points lower than 8/21 high, failing to confirm Sand P new alltime high on 8/24.
The zig-zag pattern is evident on chart. I marked this one as a more complex ABC structure as a 5 wave reaction (ABCDE) is evident in A wave.
Combined with bearish Gartley pattern confirmed 8/21, this latest rally attempt looks more like a B reactionary wave. Expect lower soon.
I wondered about this as puts I bought 8/21 above 25800 were still trading near my purchase price on 8/24, in spite of wild bullishness in Sand P, which was nice, but made me think;
"Hey why is Dow not keeping up and acts like stuck at 25800? Hmmm..."
This is a bear flag, resolving into final C wave soon. Will be pretty rough I'm afraid- be careful!
September is coming! Look out.
Good luck!
This is not investment advice it's just a fun post for education and ridicule. Enjoy!
SPX Corrective WXY Wave entering Y leg down to 2802 SupportSand P has been more resilient than Dow and declines less, advances more. Still a short opportunity appearing now in final down leg of corrective wave.
I wouldn't hold puts or shorts below 2800- look for a strong bullish reversal into a combo (5)(V)(v) wave to new All-Time High after this correction- starting real soon.
See my Dow post too, same idea, but probably more bearish action on the Industrial index for option traders. After the storm, I'd go long SPY for more bullish action.
I'm calling this a WXY b/c it is a 3-3-3 wave pattern- abrupt, brief, less complex than an ABC, shorter timespan, and there is no discernible 5 wave impulse.
As always I'm not an investment advisor, this is not advice its an amusing education post, good luck!
GBPJPY Bearish Corrective StructureMy previous analysis on GBPJPY has played out exactly as expected.
We are currently in a smaller corrective structure which will complete wave 4 on the larger time frame when it breaks. The corrective structure could break now or alternatively we could see one more wave up before the downside break.
GBPNZD Corrective Structure About To Break?GBPNZD has formed a corrective structure within a larger downtrend. This structure has a bearish setup with good targets to the downside. We saw the completion of wave 4 a few hours ago and I now await confirmation as to whether the break will occur now or whether we must wait for wave 5 to complete first.
EURCHF Bearish Corrective Structure Break With Big TargetThere is a big down trend on EURCHF larger time frame and we are currently watching the formation of this corrective structure before the break for more downside. Two options exist here. The break could happen now or alternatively we will see the formation of a 5th wave before the break.
I will be watching smaller time frames for direction and entry triggers.
