Hey guys,
The start of today's session I believe will prove to be a volitile one from the get go. Why? Well, Patterns look complete to me on many pairs. Also, here's an article that came out on Bloomberg as breaking news over the weekend while markets were closed:
Bloomberg.com: Worldwide
Due to this news, The New York Mercantile Exchange announced an extended trading session beginning at 2:30 p.m. today because of Gustav.
However, give the notion that I don't believe in news having any effect on long term trends, this is not my concern. Im more interested in the panic this might cause in perhaps a spike in oil or fall of the USD. This is my first attempt in calling a bottom in the GBP/USD.
First, looking at a daily chart, we have entered the threshold of the first reversal zone I have pegged for the this pair which is where 3 or C = 100% of 1 or A projected from B.
Second chart, we see a stellar 5 wave decline in 3 or C being complete. Thus, we can make a projection for wave V in C. The bottom line in my reversal zone is where V is = to 38.2% of I through III projected from IV.
The third chart is an hourly chart where I magnified wave V where we see the possibility of an ending D in play. We've already tested the outer limits of the ending D only to close back in it. This is classic ending D terminal price action. This means we have a possible bottom in place. Also, should this be an valid ending D, we should get a violent thrust back where the where the ending D began at the end of IV of C being 1.8797. That's over 500 pips away from where we are now.
Be ready for a volatile open.
