Do not be drawn in to bull run or market crash talk every time there is a strong rally or decent drop. We are still moving sideways since Jan in choppy action after the yearly R1 was tagged. The pullback was contained to the DeMark pivot with the traditional pivot below as further support. Until we break this range by a decisive breach of one of the pivots we are...

A nice move down at the end of last week, with a harami posted on Weds, bearish action with a weak close on Thursday and a gap down on Friday. Notice how price rebounded off the WS1 at the end of the week after being rejected at the Demark R1 on Tuesday. Pivots for next week show an open below the weekly pivot, which matches nicely with the DR1 to make strong...

The move up from last weeks pullback, which went a bit deeper than expected by retracing to the area of the weekly S1, has followed the predicted path up quite closely. Now we are faced with a cluster of pivots and a weekly bullish reversal at 25800. I am looking for a move up to that level in the next few sessions and a strong reaction off it, with a negative...

New pivots for next week show we will open above the weekly pivot, giving a bullish bias for the week ahead. However there is a negative divergence on Stoch and a bearish candle printed on Friday so some chop and a pullback to the weekly pivot before a further rally is my preference. 25800 is the key level to close above this week. August is historically weak and...

The WR1 did its job and stopped the rally for now. There was negative divergence whilst butting up against the pivot which I should have spotted yesterday for a short entry. Gap down opening today with choppy action between DS1-S2, however the monthly R1 has also been breached as support. Short from DS1 looking for a larger pullback, as long as Trump stops tweeting!

The long trade from the break of the diamond pattern has met its target. This weeks early price action has ground up deeper into the target zone, and is now met with WR1 and DR1 resistance. As per the end of last week, R/R is now firmly in the profit taking area, leaving a runner if desired. QT is due which will time well with a move to lower pivots. However a...

TRD has been in an rising channel for 6 years. The high of Dec 16/Jan 17 touched the top of the channel and resulted in a pull back and consolidation of 18 months. Price has reacted to the channel and formed a rounded bottom/cup. Likely outcomes are to form a 'handle' for the cup, or for price to move straight up, targeting the upper channel boundary. The...

Pullback was contained to the weekly R1 backtest before another move up, finishing the week a whisker away from target zone. As trade has progressed, R/R is now firmly in the profit taking area instead of squeezing every point out. Dow is showing to be the weakest index with NQ at ATH and ES matching the June high. QT next week.

Good rally up so far, may need a pull back to consolidate before further gains. Be aware QT happens next week which has caused weakness over the second half of the last few months. Above weekly and monthly pivot= bullish. Target remains the same. Scale out some profit and move stops up below monthly pivot.

Diamond formation stretched out to end of last week then broke upwards, closing above the weekly pivot and it will currently open above the monthly pivot. Weekly bullish reversal elected (just) on the close after 3 weeks of electing bearish reversals. Looking for confirmation of the bottoming pattern, which now looks like a rounded bottom or cup and handle if it...

Diamond pattern nearing completion. A break in price down could mean a half staff pattern, with the second leg the same length of the first. Yearly and monthly pivots below provide strong support and price target at 23100 area. Break up could be a price trend reversal to the monthly R1 at 25100.
