Hammer Plus - 2

Today's prices made a higher over the previous local highs. Then prices fell back to the 18-day SMA the line in the sand.


While better triangle proportions were made today, with the up wave now at 75% of the down wave, a triangle is not a sure thing.  As we have said, it could fail. 

The swing-line turned up today, but prices settled below the 18-day SMA which means an up trend is not in force either.  For the shorter term, we indicated that on the ES 30-min chart, a continuation of the channel count can not be ruled out yet.

ES Futures - 30 min - Channel

A fourth wave of the channel count can not be ruled out yet because, with about 106 candles on the chart, and following The Eight-Fold Path Method for Counting an Impulse, the EWO is still well within fourth wave parameters. Further, the retrace of the entire third wave is very shallow at only 23.6%. We have indicated the alternate the high might have been seen this morning, but there is nothing definitive. We remain patient, calm and flexible to see if anything is resolved in the overnight session Sunday or on Monday.

Have an excellent start to the weekend.

  1. Here's a chart of the Russell futures, which, if anything, is very supportive of the triangle idea. 3rd wave up or 3rd wave down? - answer = neither! Lazy price action for a while until the triangle resolves - probably to the upside. I could imagine this whole pandemic wave dragging out until Sept or October with 4 and 5th waves of different degrees.

    1. So, we have decreasing mo in the SPX, and increasing mo in the Dollar. Will price reflect the same going forward?

  8. Good evening all. This five-minute pattern is plausible. But, of course, we do not 'know' it will occur. Gap direction was needed. The gap 'could be' in a third wave, as shown.

    Right now iii = 0.618 x i; and there is upward overlap. Wave iv should not go over 4,160.

    1. Thanks but I am confused.

      Es is over 4160

  9. Because 4,160 has been exceeded higher there are still two possibilities:

    wave iv is a complex, which would provide a fifth wave up within the triangle.

    or, there is a wave down, and now a flat correction.

    All options still open; "no man's land".

    1. Looks like a bust. At least the reg. hidden div worked out, lol. Probably should stick to reading RSI instead. :o)

    1. Thanks TJ.

      Whats the longer term chart. Are we taking out all time highs or are we still in no man's land ?

      Delete
    2. Please stop with the constant questioning, and look back to May 17th and May 18th posts. And try to stay current. If we are in a triangle, then the all-time highs should eventually be taken out.

  14. ES 2-hr; here is that 78.6% retrace potential (slightly exceeded), and the triangle potential.

    1. Very small candles and indicators flatlined. Something's coming. :o)

  16. ES 15-min: the overnight was ugly and this may be another x((1)) count, extended wave one count. ALT is still in a longer-time wave ((4)) on this scale.
