So everything is rigged (US: Triple new high records since 1999)Hello folks, so as I mentioned earlier in my previous posts. The CAC40 would go higher (so would European indices, but the German DAX wasn't as eager as the French index to do so). The 4300-4450 range worked perfectly, and we went even higher (4500). However .
Thursday's (August 11, 2016) US markets was clearly "algorithmically" driven. I think that scalpers and day trader could see how the prices moved *again* in some "strange" fashion. And out of the blue, the US markets were on cloud nine and made a triple all time records that day, altogether (see 1999 and what ensued). The CAC40 and other indices followed suit.
Which means that the 4450 level was certainly pierced thanks to lower volume (I don't even need to check any indicator, but my guess could be wrong: are you people confirming or infirming it?) and more importantly, to super mega algorithmic trading.
Yes, you probably got my point: The extra 50 points above 4450 was according to me noise inside the noise . Hence the erratic moves and consolidation from Friday. Which means that this mini breakout was probably fake. I would have a short bias/opinion during the first on two days of next week (August 15-21, 2016), until we get to 4445-4460. I would personally go long only after we get at least there, or if we clearly break through 4510-4530 for a couple of days if this scenario doesn't work. But there could be some tricky moves slightly above 4500 this coming Monday before we go back to 4445-4460. Pay attention to that.
The risk reward is higher by doing swing trading and shorting. I would short with my eyes *closed* at 4600. 4666 (pivot) could be some "noise target" , but long positions would ultimately fail, hence a stop-loss at 4700. Of course, I do not possess a crystal ball, but there is rationality in apparent irrationality, and the game is about to decipher those moves without becoming slaughtered by the big guns and "smart traders". Go catch those high-probability trades. We are soon getting there.
Notice: There's a gap at 4360 (CAC40) and a small gap at 18610 and around 18500 for the DowJones. Tricky isn't it? Which infers to me that shorting provides a higher risk-reward ratio.

How to know when stuff are rigged ? NFP, indices, gold price ...August 8, 2016
This is an abstract from my one of my blogs: www.lucky-index-trading.blogspot.com
Compare this chart with my previous publication and comments
So, from my experience, this is how it worked (and obviously I am merely stating a little portion of the big picture, but so far this "luckily" was enough to help predicting some moves based on correlation).
Last Friday's US Non-farm Payroll (NFP - August 5, 2016) was apparently rigged according to some sources. Well, we did not really need to know how the fundamental worked to know the blue print would be "good" and thereby certainly pushing prices up, as the odds for indices to head upward was higher than otherwise. Let me explain.
Do you remember the previous article I posted on July 31st, 2016? Yes, the one with the forecast of the CAC. So I was saying that a false breakout from the 4300-4450 range could occur (target: 4600). The CAC 40 did exactly range last week (August 1-5), going from about 4480 to as low as 4293 and now it is back to 4440 at the time I am writing this post. The trading range was perfectly supported by price action, supports / resistances, and so on. But moreover, if was also confirmed by the NFP's result, "fundamentally" pushing up on the CAC and making it soar from 4360 to 4410, therefore confirming the 4300-4450 range as previously stated in article 174 of the blog).
Now, the SP500 made a new all-time record, and the Dow Jones soared along with the NASDAQ. What I mean is that it was totally predictable, because no matter what European indices had to go up, technically speaking. So in order to push the markets higher, data had to be manipulated.On the other hand, I made a forecast 2 years ago on Gold (XAUUSD), stating it would go as low as 1080 and then going back to 1367 (see article 118 + related charts). Since gold price reached 1370, it had to pullback (ie. go down). Given that it is for the time being negatively correlated with stock market indices, then if the Dow Jones is up, gold price will decrease. And this is exactly what we wanted since the target of roughly 1350-1367 was reached !
Therefore, from solely using gold price forecast and European price forecast, we could infer that the NFP result would be good, and send American indices to the sky. This is in my sense manipulation, and the bubble will probably burst next year. My take is that indices will globally shift downward in 1 or 2 months.
CAC 40, Daily chart (see post from July 31st -> 2016-2018 forecast)
-> It exactly did start to range from 4300 to 4450 !

EWQ: France ETF long term time at mode analysisWe have downtrends in all timeframes except the daily in the France ETF. Currently price is about to break below the yearly downtrend mode, which if it happens could start a big slide down. The daily suggests a short is optimal here, risking a rally to pre-Brexit highs at 24.70, targets can be initially the monthly one at 19.22, but eventually this could evolve into a drop into single digits if the yearly downtrend signal takes over. Target is precisely 8.77, and is well within the confines of possibility, but not yet confirmed.
The monthly setup is already valid, so, feel free to go short.

CAC 40 + European Indices Forecast 2016-2018: False BreakoutHello folks ! This is my first post on tradingview.com. This is an abstract from one of my blogs: www.lucky-index-trading.blogspot.com
Enjoy :)
I have reconfirmed a short-selling target of the CAC 40 at about 4600. Stop-loss orders could be set above 4700.
First bearish target: ~3450-3500
Second bearish target: ~3050
Please find below a graph (weekly) with some comment's I've made.
It is very important to see how other markets are reacting and to spot any correlation or absence of correlation in order to strengthen/weaken confirmation(s).
$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.

$EUSTX50 at an important confluece point!Here are two possible scenarios:
If the price "respect" the trendline and the support it's a BUY.
If it breaks the trendline it's a Sell.
Either way we have a nice Risk/Reward ratio!
You can follow other indexes (such as DAX and S&P 500) as they are with a strong correlation this days.
