Just Waiting ..

The ES four-hour chart of the potential minute ((c)) wave up to potential wave Minor 4 is shown below. The Elliott Wave Oscillator is still in good shape with waves (ii) and (iv) clearly visible at the zero line. And there is currently a divergence for wave (v) with the fifth wave expected to be shorter overall than the third (use OHLC charts for that measurement) because the third wave is shorter than the first.

ES Futures - 4 Hr - Close Only

Note that wave (iii) might be one wave peak to the right, which might also give wave (v) a bit of extra length as well. The notes on the chart explain what is being waited for. Have a good start to the evening.

  2. Regarding buying AAPL. My ex-supervisor bought 2000 shares at $5.00 sometime between 1998 and 2007 and has never sold because his multiple ex-wives would collectively get half. I estimate he has at least 56000 shares and possibly 4x that!

  5. I noticed that the built-in AO indicator on tradingview doesn't match the screenshot in this post. Anyone know why?

    1. Here is the same chart done in TradingView using the built-in AO indicator. Seems to match pretty well. You'd have to post a chart of what is wrong.

    2. Hi TJ....Is there an AO equivalent on Stockcharts?

      Thank you!

    3. Here is a screenshot showing the AO on the SPX cash 4 hour chart. It doesn't come close nor cross the zero line for waves (ii) and (iv).

    4. So, I used 4hr FUTURES, you used 4 hr CASH. That is all the difference. Cash only has 48 candles on the 4 hr chart. The method 'requires' that the 'wave of interest' have 120 - 160 candles. Please see The Featured Post in this blog. It is on the upper right-hand corner of the blog page, titled, "The Eight Fold Path Method for Counting an Impulse". The very first step is to 'select the time frame that provides 120 - 160 candles for the wave of interest'. If that is not done then the AO/EWO will not be able to be interpreted. Hope this helps.

    5. Oh I see, thanks. In the screenshot in the original post it says US 500 cash.

    6. Yes. The labeling is a problem with that particular web-site. TJ.

  6. also note we are right at 160 candles looking at the up wave in the hourly chart

    1. ET, How much of that could be seasonal normal? I've always understood spring is most important time for building permits.

  8. ES 1-hr: 'possible' completion count. Watch for break of lower parallel (short term).

    But caution, one more downward overlap of wave i is also possible with another three-wave sequence upward.

    1. ..another good alternate is just a higher high to make v longer in time. That would place ((A)) at the prior high and we would now be in the ((B)) wave, with a final ((C)) wave up of v to come. TJ.

  11. messy opening on futures but am I imagining a leading diagonal on the 15 minute chart?

    ReplyDelete

    1. ES/SPY lower low. ES overnight 'can' be counted as a contracting diagonal. This suggests monitoring to see a retrace does not go over the high, but it can be a 'deep' retrace.

  12. TraderJoe - Is there an alternate count that allows for one more high? The reason I ask is looking at prior breakdowns on weekly and monthly charts, the bear market retraces has a tendency to tag the upper weekly 18 period bollinger band. See examples from 2008 vs current in the link below. Many of the Sector Spyders can also 'use' a higher high to tag their weekly BBs.

  13. ES 1-hr: over the high again as I said was 'possible'. The long in time wave might be a four and the higher high a five. Let's see if there is a 'turn-on-Tuesday'.

  14. SPY (2x1) 2nd orange target (430) achieved.

  15. One of the reasons I've been so cautious (besides how terrible wave 4's can be in potential expanding diagonals) is that for the "upward contracting diagonal wave (v) count, that second wave 'never' made a 62% retrace. I told you at the time I has one eyebrow lifted at that because it is not typical. So, we 'may have' had the running second wave as below.

    This would explain the 'length of time' of the overnight fourth wave that I mentioned.

  17. SPY cash: 1 Hr (fyi only) - popped over the wedge briefly and now trading under it again. Use a lot of caution. If the high can not be held it's nothing of significance. But it does 'look' good.
