Good day Traders
The way i see it, is either in an or it has broken out of that which could take us down further to retest our lows, however, I don’t think we should be one dimensional with these chart patterns and more often than not, an open mind is required (and proper risk management) if you don’t want to consistently be caught holding bags in this market.
Although I still have a mid term target, a few signals have emerged which can not be ignored. It is very possible that this is actually an and that our support is actually connecting the 7 December low to the 27 December low which means that we might have potentially just found the triangle support, and besides a few outlying candles, the supporting still fits the general structure of an . Our daily MA50 is also now holding as support for now although its worth keeping an eye on in case we drop below it on the daily close. On the other hand, as per my previous post, this might actually be a breakdown from a and the new lows are set to be tested sooner rather than later. In this instance, it’s best to use a stop loss above our $4230 recent high if you’re short and below our previous $3630 low on 1 Jan if you’re long.
I don’t believe we have found the bottom yet and there will be more pain to come in the coming weeks, however, there’s a chance that we have a short-lived upwards correction towards $5k and our daily SMA100 for another flush of weak hands before we do find those lows and possible capitulation.
My target is $4925 which is a 161.8 from our wave up between our $3122 low for 2018 and our recent high of $4236 on 24 December after (close to) a 61.8 fib retracement on the next wave down, however, we will have strong resistance from $4700 (141.2 fib ext). Our wave up from our recent 27 December low ($3566) to our recent high of $4112 resulted in a 61.8 fib retracement with the drop this morning so if this breaks to the upside, we should reach our first target at $4450 before retracing back to the triangle to retest as support at around $4100. We should then have our break towards the final target from there.
Looking at the 4H Index, we have regular (see arrows) and we still haven’t broken our uptrend support with this drop, in fact never dropped much at all with this flash crash, definitely notable divergence there. is also oversold on the lower time frames which gives credence to a potential move back inside the triangle. Best advice is not to day trade right now, prepare and wait for the big move instead.
Target 1: $4450
Target 2: $4925
Stop (Bears): $4240
Stop (Bulls): $3620
Good luck and happy trading!
