The deeper I get into the Elliott Wave method, the more I am impressed with how frequent its patters show up across all timeframes almost identical to the teachings of Ralph Elliott 70 years ago. Let’s take a look at a perfect Elliott Wave pattern – complete with ideal fractal waves – on the intraday SPY for May 20 and 21.
Thursday’s intraday trading action gives us a perfect example of how to use Fibonacci grids to uncover ‘hidden’ confluence zones in the market action. Let’s see how to do it and how it played out in the SPY.
to highlight something interesting I’m seeing in the Market Internals for May 11th in the S&P 500 (SPY). So far on this rangebound day (following a gap-down), the Market Internals (particularly TICK and Breadth) have been biased to the upside.
The SPY gapped up into what looked like an exhaustion gap pattern and began its descent lower all day, completly engulfing the ‘hanging man’ candle that formed yesterday. Let’s take a quick look at this action.
To say I was impressed with the bullish action today is an understatement – I was astonished at the strength! Let’s look inside today’s intraday action to see how the Trend Day structure developed and what opportunities existed for profit – knowing how to trade a trend day can make the difference in a large loss or large profit the next day we get one.
Using today’s price action so far as an example, let me walk you inside the price action for April 30, 2009 in the SPY to discover that massive TICK, Breadth, and Momentum divergences all formed, clueing you in that a price reversal was far more likely than price continuation. Let’s walk through the market internals…
There I go again with the long titles, but I had to fit it all in. Today, there were two excellent trading opportunities I wanted to highlight in today’s intraday structure. One was a “buy the 4th wave” into confluence support (with a TICK divergence) and the second was a “sell short the 5th wave”…
I wanted to highlight the Three Push Reversal Pattern which led to the Cradle Trade on today’s intraday SPY chart. Let’s see these trade set-ups! I’ve done something a little special for you in tonight’s post. I get a lot of questions about my “3/10 Oscillator” I use so I wanted to show you how…
I renamed today “TICK Divergence Tuesday” in honor of the numerous TICK Divergences that gave valid trading signals on April 14th’s intraday trading (in the SPY). Let’s look at these TICK Divergences, two bear-flags, and a 5-wave Elliott Pattern that guided the structure of the day. (Click for full-size chart) The main purpose of this…
On each intraday post, I try to highlight a key trade set-up or structural point that occurred during the day. Today, I wanted to highlight the Two Flags – one bull and one bear – as well as the Two Cradle Trades that set-up during the day. Let’s see them in action! The day began…
