A nice way to cap off the week! Care to share your most recent Cable count?

GBP/USD

Here is the count I'm following for GBP/USD. I'll be looking to get short on a wave (ii) bounce next week.

Thanks Justy. This is what I am working with. I had a lot of trouble finding 5 waves up to complete the C wave of A/1, so I thought that it was just an A wave in a bigger ABC? To be clearer, from your b point to your C point of B, I had difficulty counting 5 waves.

GBP/USD

Today's decline in GBP/USD is in five waves. So that is probably either wave (A) or wave (1). I think if you get short on a bounce, you'll be able to make some money either way.

I guess this is the part of Elliott Wave that confuses me a little. Because I couldn't effectively count 5 waves in c to complete B, it made me change my initial count of the 5 wave drop that you have just labelled, to an ABC. Which in turn made me decide to exit my short that I had entered at 1.4467 (mind you for a nice 85 pip pop) instead of holding onto it. Lessons I am learning, I guess. Thanks.

i wouldnt really agree these are 5 waves down in cable, they fit better as three, but there should be a safe short entry from 1,45 in the first days of the new week in any case.. for at least 200 pips.
lets see how many dollar positions i can load up, as there will be entries in usdjpy, usdcad and eurusd, as well..

edit: it broke the low quite heavily, switching to your five wave count, justy - excellent

USD/JPY

It looks like there could be a little more upside potential remaining in USD/JPY. One more pop higher may complete wave (C) of the triangle.

looking at the usdcad.. a very interesting thing is happening - i am expecting a 5 wave drop to 1,20, but what i get is a three wave move as a start.. which would bring a diagonal in the (c) position of E in the daily triangle to light.. repeating what we know.. diagonals occur in Cs in the end of complex corrections, and show a lack of strenght in the direction of the trend.. so it seems to make sense in that position.
looking at it this way, it will be a very safe and clear long entry.. if it does not truncate along the way; i will be monitoring this one very closely from tuesday/wednesday, as a important Intermediate, and MediumTerm Delta low are knocking on the door... cant wait

Justy, Why do you have the upper line of the triangle drawn where you do? I have mine across the tops of "a" and "c" and now "e" but yours is drawn higher. Help me understand please. Thanks,

Because I think it's a descending triangle that's forming and I still think wave (C) is not finished.

Why are you showing wave (E) as a five-wave move? Triangle legs are all three-wave moves.

USDJPY

Until today it looked like a triangle playing out in USDJPY, but after the sizeable rally today, I think a flat correction is now the obvious... Which means we need one more high above the wave "A" high at 94.62, but I don't think price will be making any headway above there.. I think we're going to see a new high by only a few pips above 94.62, either that or a double top off 94.62.. One of the two ...
