Dow Jones Wave (3) still in progress below 21400?The Dow Jones produced an intraday rally towards 23327 levels yesterday but it still remains vulnerable to turn lower one more time and print below 21400 levels. Looking at the wave counts, the Dow Jones seems to have completed Waves (1) and (2) at 24120 and 26000 levels respectively. Since then Wave (3) has been in progress lower and has produced 4 waves. The 4th wave might have terminated at 23381 levels last week and if this holds true, we could witness wave v lower towards 21000 levels, to complete a higher degree Wave (3). Also please note that if the above structure should hold valid, prices should remain below 24000 levels, which is wave i termination point as presented on the chart view here. Overall bearish momentum should remain until prices stay below 24000 levels.

Dow Jones ready to drop below 21400 levels now?The Dow Jones is progressing well into its Wave (3) at a higher degree as labelled here. Within the 3rd wave, a lower degree wave iv was unfolding last week and we had discussed the possibility of its termination around 23200/300 levels. Last Friday, Dow Jones managed to hit 23365 levels intraday and closed around 23000 levels as seen on the chart displayed here. It could be a potential wave iv termination and prices could resume lower from here below 21400 levels. If the above structure holds true, prices should remain below 23370 levels and bears in control from here on. Once Wave (3) is terminated lower, it would be interesting to see if Dow Jones turns higher again. At least for now, the bearish pressure remains against 24000 levels.

A sad closing out of 2018Some elegant prose should be offered here to usher out 2018. Perhaps a bow of the head and a moment of silence.
Last trade day of the year. What are we to expect?
Fridays trading was underwhelming. The price rose to 23381, testing the floor of the S/R level (23360) which was set back in February 2018 and broken last week. Closing the week off at 23062.
Now, I've read the same articles you have. Is this a dead cat bounce? Is the market going to go lower in 2019? Is there a rally in the making? Where is the new floor?
Monday will decide the fate of the world (bum bum bummmmm). Well, the first quarter of 2019.
The weekly chart is taking aim at 24094. The daily chart 24048.
With the 4H chart showing stalled movement on Friday after a second session engulfing bar on Thursday. The engulfing bar is taking aim at 23700.
I will give Monday the 600+ points.
When will this kick off? Any ones guess. Morning, Afternoon, all day? But if I were a betting man...I'd expect lack of activity in the AM and mid-day trading to kick the 600 points off.
I believe we will end the year between 23700 and 24000 This would then be the setup of a S/R boundary of approximately 5000 points.
DJI setting up for bears takeoverDJI had a lovely 5% rally today but as you can see from our 4 hour chart it has been respecting a very strong trend line it has been using as resistance, price is coming up to test this level again and we are expecting another clear bounce.
We can also see another economic crash coming in the not to far future, all signs are pointing toward this.

Dow Jones Industrial Average SHorting.....Mark Douglas on Chart Patterns:
We can use all the various tools to analyze the market’s behavior and find the patterns that represent the best edges, and from an analytical perspective, these patterns can appear to be precisely the same in every respect, both mathematically and visually. But, if the consistency of the group of traders who are creating the pattern “now” is different by even one person from the group that created the pattern in the past, then the outcome of the current pattern has the potential to be different from the past pattern.It takes only one trader, somewhere in the world, with a different belief about the future to change the outcome of any particular market pattern and negate the edge that pattern represents.
The most fundamental characteristic of the market’s behavior is that each “now moment” market situation, each “now moment” behavior pattern, and each “now moment” edge is always a unique occurrence with its own outcome, independent of all others. Uniqueness implies that anything can happen, either what we know (expect or anticipate), or what we don’t know (or can’t know, unless we had extraordinary perceptual abilities). A constant flow of both known and unknown variables creates a probabilistic environment where we don’t know for certain what will happen next. This last statement may seem quite logical.
Why Most Demo Trades result is very much better than "real" money?!"...To be a Consistently Profitable Professional Trader you need to acquire a psychology skill called "Trading without Fear" a carefree state of mind in trading.. In The Zone/In the flow state of mind ..."Mark Douglas :Trading In The Zone : Professionals don't perceive anything about the market as painful; therefore, no threat exists for them. If there's no threat, there's nothing to defend against. As a result, there isn't any reason for their conscious or subconscious defense mechanism to kick in. That's why professionals can see and do things that mystify everyone else. They're in "THE FLOW", because they're perceiving an endless stream of opportunities, and when they're "NOT IN THE FLOW". the very best of the best can recognize that fact and the compensate by either "SCALING BACK" or "NOT TRADING AT ALL"...
DJI: bullish or bearish?DJI looks very interesting and ambiguous. There are two patterns on the chart: the first one is bullish (double bottom), the second one is bearish (double top). Waiting for resistance (27000) and support (23500) tests. But resistance is stronger, because growth after the end of the 2008-crisis was also strong. Short looks more realistic, then long. Waiting for the breaking of the support line.
YM ThursdayAs described yesterday, the buyers came in strong out of support areas at ~24100. Price broke through the 25000 level and created a new structure high by breaking the last highs as well. In the more immediate order flow price created a 1 to 1 to the upside reaching 25300. Price corrected strong and broke the immediate structure at ~25070. I am expecting price to correct a little more to the downside overall and a possible sell at a 1 to 1 completion - D-sell at ~25233.
