euro

Going into tomorrow's rate decision here is a another possibility. In my opinion everything is already priced in and we might see a reversal from the current levels. I haven't seen anyone with that count yet and it would be interesting to see if/how it plays out.


Just my .02 cents.....

Good for you Jimbo..

Yes, even with EW, we can not pick tops and bottoms..... just probable turning points and the best thing to do is what you are doing.

That is ... choose a high probability trade and manage scaling your trades as it gives more reason to trade that direction, otherwise, not to add on.

I also see the Divergence on the 1hr chart but not on the 4 hour chart.

On the 4 hour chart, that lowest low being predominant at the last part of the MACD, makes me think that this is just wave 3 of a higher degree wave 3 and the wave 4 of that higher degree wave 3 is just about to transpire as price completes its divergence on the 1 hour chart.

But on the otherhand also, in the past I have observed that divergence in ABC wave group may not be present, but it is present in the individual internal wave structure.

Right now, I am looking at the stochastics on the 4hour chart and it seems to be telling me a different scenario.

Just some thoughts

In fact I'm scaling in a long position as part of my trading plan for GBP/USD. One thing I know is that I'm not that good of identifying turning points and most likely I'll be in a trade early. Sometimes the market takes me out of what later turns out to be a good trade so that's way I take 1/3 of my normal position at the time and then add to it at either better price or after a confirmation. I normally have a 100pips stop loss as I believe that 50pips move especially in cable is just a random noise.


Now back to the charts.....I see a divergence on 1H. Nothing yet on 4H or daily but in my opinion the price is due for some correction to at least the breakout point of what its former down channel which as of now is 1.9600 area.


Regards

JUSTY CADJPY

The chart below is a five minute showing that the declines so far have been three wave moves, so the trend is up... For now at least.

I attended a webinar a while back hosted by Steve Nison and he was talking about candlesticks as they apply to the FX market. One of the points he made was that since the FX doesn't gap like the equities markets, some of the candle patterns are defined a little differently. He talked specifically about the bullish engulfing. According to his interpretation, the candle that we see on the CAD/JPY is considered a bullish engulfing.

Take that for what it's worth, but I think this currency is pretty bullish where it stands. We've got the bullish engulfing, plus a 'throw-under' from a well defined triangle so hopefully we can get a good rally out of it.

Good post Justy

I've been scrutinizing that candle in CADJPY all evening... I know it appears as a bullish engulfing candle at a glance... But when I zoom in on it.. The bottom of the candle starts just a tiny bit higher than where it should have.. So I'm kind of waiting to see what tomorrow will bring.. I know the pattern is there, and god knows price rejected that Wave "C" low of the triangle just in time to keep our bullish count active.. But it's this little tiny detail of the candle that's got me wondering... I've got my fingers crossed on this one.. I'm also holding long this pair, 1/3rd position at the moment for safety sake...

Would have been nice if price could have created a 100% iron clad candlestick reversal.. I'm always right in there checking all the little details..

I too have spent much time reviewing Steve Nison's work.. He's a great guy

FXCM

DEAR FXCM,,, what are you doing to this forum... ??? Your last page button doesn't even work in this forum, everyone here knows it and has voiced there opinions on this matter yet the problem remains, now I see you have upgraded the forum to show the charts in a pop out black screen when clicked on, that makes the charts even less viewable...

No Good People... I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks that !

EUR USD

I am looking at this count right now. It's very bearish
There's a confluence of fib around price zone 5256 -5275.

W3: 5275 = 2.618 of W1
Wiii: 5256 = 1.618 of Wi

I don't know how this fits into the bigger pattern of an expanded flat wave IV.

P.S. Why does the chart I post become very small now? People can barely read the number. FXCM, please fix this

GBPUSD 15min

Cable on the 15min chart is looking like it has formed a Symmetrical Triangle for the wave 4 inside the wave 5 of a C3 or a wave 3 down

Or this coud be the B inside a wave 4

JUSTY CADJPY

JUSTY... I have some good news for both of us regarding CADJPY... I spent the last 4 hours meticulously scrutinizing each candle, wave, and possible pattern on the monthly chart of CADJPY and I have come up with a very possible count here.. Which does favour large upside for us at the moment I didnot count these waves with a bias in either direction.. So I have come to this conclusion based on price movement alone..

I think there's a really good possibility that price is in a large long term wave 4 which will no doubt be a huge triangle. Wave "A" has completed and we are now in Wave "B" upward which has the potential to go very high.. Possibly even close to the previous highs at 125 or past there depending on what type of pattern we are tracing out.. All I know is I'm feeling much better about this long CADJPY trade.. And perhaps that candle yesterday was a Bullish Engulfing like you had mentioned in your post. On this pair I have to make a judgement call at the moment.. My bias remains bullish until prooven wrong

From the Daily chart Wave "C" will equal Wave "A" at 114.62 and since now I know price can get past there in this next wave up, 114.62 looks like a very achievable objective right now..

I saw Jaime's analysis on this pair on Dailyfx today .. He's calling for a drop in price :O --- Hmmmm makes ya think !

Where would be a good SL on this pair?

I think Cody means receiving email alert whenever there is a new post in the forum. I don't receive any email from this forum(Elliot Wave) but got bombed yesterday by the Euro forum. They sent me 100 emails. It's a pain...

Possible count for USD/CHF. I see more upside potential, but a short term retracement is imminent. Daily stochastics seem to have gone flat and are EXTREMELY overbought. 4 hr stochastics are already trending down.
USD/CHF 4hr


USD/CHF 15 min
