'Smart Money' Rules

The daily chart of the ES futures has the 18-day SMA ('the-line-in-the-sand) crossing down under the 100-day SMA.

ES Futures - 1 Day - 18 Cross 100 SMA

If the Smart Money rules, and to some extent they do, then the combination should offer some resistance to upward price movement. While no harm has been done to a fourth wave count (yet), odds of an impulse got a little lower with today's move up. And, the odds of a diagonal increased a bit. Neither can be ruled in or ruled out at this time. 

Price is also back up to the potential horizontal resistance from the December 2021 lows. Remember, tomorrow is the first trading day of the month - and often that brings the usual inflows, although some of that might have been seen today depending on specifics of the timing of roll-overs, etc.

Have a very good start to the evening.

    1. Note: point F should be peak 3 on both. Slight corrections for prelim targets.

    2. Gw, New to this. How to you get the 2 and 1.641 in the above examples?

      Thank you.

    3. Multiplier is SwingOver - (N-G)/(F-G), lesser of the calculation or 2.0 (max)
      if peaks of F and N are less than 10mths apart. If greater, the max is allowed to be 2.2. Hope this helps.

    4. For reference, here's the whole structure as outlined in The Art of Technical Analysis (Lindsay) - He used this primarily on a daily chart. My focus (right or wrong) is on the first two (peaks/separating decline). The domed house structure looks like it could be pretty subjective, thus my focus on the earlier components. (fwiw) :o)

  4. GW Did you read Ed Carlson's book?
    "George Linday and art of technical Analysis"
    Ed Carloson does have an article on TASC about 3pdh. I have another book by Martin Pring on order. "Investing in the Second Lost Decade" Chapter on Inflation I'd like to read.

    I do have a sell signal on Markos Katsanos "buy or sell or buy or hold" indicator. This indicator is available in TOS.

    1. Please respect the fact that I don't want buy/sell signals published here. This is a wave counting site.

    2. Thanks TJ,

      Has today's move enough to be confirm a diagonal?

    3. ..overlap 'should' occur for the diagonal. It has become much more probable but by no means certain.

    4. Overlap has occurred in futures. May or may not happen with cash as futures are retracing.

  7. TJ, I'm thinking there may have been a truncation for 5 of a flat around the 28th. That may also have been the "sneak" for a 4 or XX since 2020 low.

    Any comments, concerns, or criticism?

  8. Good morning all. IFF cash SPY should overlap (which I suspect), then these are the counting anomalies I previously mentioned which gave rise to the very early idea of a 'potential' expanding diagonal on the way down.

    https://www.tradingview.com/x/oKTK8Khx/

    The most important of which are 1) the three-wave look to the interior counts with the very short retraces - probably 'b' waves, 2) Wave 3 ending on 'no divergence' with the EWO, 3) the overall potentially expanding look to the EWO, 4) the 'potential' leading diagonal off of the bottom, and 5) what appears to be a 'c' wave up now as it has very short internal retrace waves.

    There are no guarantees. The expanding diagonal is a 'low probability pattern' that must prove itself.

    1. ..oh, and the other anomaly was the location of the gaps, not in the 'center' of third waves.

    2. I agree that it looks like 3 wave patterns. The wave off the low doesn’t look impulsive yet. If cash doesn’t overlap, I guess it becomes a WXY.

    3. Es made a small overlap with wave 2 this morning according to the numbers on investing.com. Is that correct?

      Delete
    4. @Roberto .. yes, that is correct. That 'may be' all that is needed.

    5. Hi TJ,Could the 3 in this downward diagonal be a larger 1 instead, and 4 is wave 2 of the diagonal?

      Delete
    6. @Christine .. not likely. I need to take this one wave at a time. Not sure why your would think the recent up wave needs to be wave 2.

      Does the overlapping be considered in time & price frame or both?
