But this is starting to look like a big bull flag.
There’s a squeeze. Both sides are within 70 pips of the 200-sample extreme. No upper hand here. One quick stab from either side and the other one gets left behind in the shed for a beating. I decided to stop shorting for now.
The yellow trendline does not even get touched anymore.
Maybe a quick dip lower first, to the green support zone, but can’t see much reward here.
The 9-day EMA is too close for comfort as well.
…played here is Fade or Escape.
The distance measured from the 200-hour low and the 200-hour high is plotted.
When both lines are outside the 93-pip line (purple) and they are both relatively close, the probability of a switch off becomes a possibility.
The odds favor the Fade, i.e. now that the longs have just escaped from the volaility compression zone, they are more likely to be put back into the woodshed (anywhere below the orange box).
1-3 stochastic bars are toxic. 3+ in a row is building up tolerance agaist poisioning.
Once the market has made a Push and an Echo (Palm, House suggesting a return home) the minimum target would be the weekly S1 – 1.0704, before perhaps continuing with the next leg up.
The RSI2 picture (Nick Rhodes) similarly would suggest a lower low first, although this one is less optimistic and says Buy 1.0719, the back to the 20 SMA part already has happened on Thursday and Friday.
The speed taper received a quick fake out, but I do not like that the move has ended on strength. A divergence seems to be missing, a lower low fractal without a stochastic bar print.
That said, there is some chance that they buy a higher low below the E-44 (cyan) for another higher high first.
Numero uno, I have invented a market speed indicator.
Remember when the market went berserk?
Well, the Wave 3 did not end util the initial stretch achieved was approached closely (plus the drop off of an extra 30 pips).
I use the 30BB HL2 and the numbers are pips. So, the 44 reading needed its pair at 42 to come about to show decreasing enthusiasm.
if (High[i]>iBands(symbol,0,30,2,0,PRICE_MEDIAN,MODE_UPPER,i)-50*Point) ExtATRBuffer[i]=(High[i]-iBands(symbol,0,30,2,0,PRICE_MEDIAN,MODE_UPPER,i))*10000;
if (Low[i]<iBands(symbol,0,30,2,0,PRICE_MEDIAN,MODE_LOWER,i)+50*Point) ExtATRBuffer2[i]=(iBands(symbol,0,30,2,0,PRICE_MEDIAN,MODE_LOWER,i)-Low[i])*10000;
So now I am looking for a 29-30 print to go with the 32 on the left.
This current up move tagged the yellow trendline yet again. It was a bigger up move, because you had 3 of the outside all 3 BB fractals (ovals).
The indicator on the bottom is a hijacked Supertramp, as I am fed up with everyone else’s stupid ideas about a trending market. My filter is the E-44 HL2, the big brother of the E-16 HL2.
if (Close[i]>iMA(symbol,0,44,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,i)) TrendDoA[i] = 1;
if (Close[i]<iMA(symbol,0,44,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,i)) TrendDoB[i] = 1; Five hours on one side and something may be up, a reversion may be afoot.
The 3rd thing is that this morning they bought the 3rd hour. See the yellow line on the close of the 3?
I have a ton more examples, and #3 has O, H, L, C readings, but the back tests seem to always immediately declare what the intentions are.
if (High[i+1]>iMA(symbol,0,44,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,i+1) &&
iRSI(symbol,0,2,PRICE_MEDIAN,i)<iRSI(symbol,0,2,PRICE_MEDIAN,i+1)-5 && iRSI(symbol,0,2,PRICE_MEDIAN,i+2)<iRSI(symbol,0,2,PRICE_MEDIAN,i+1)-2

ObjectSetText("Mladen"+IntegerToString(i), CharToStr(234), 42, "Webdings", clrGreen);
}
…to the Finish Line.
An expanding ABC cotrection with the LL being the typicsl 4 pips lower from the end of the acceleration (orange) right before the Thrust down commencing.
The B-C move is the price going from oversold to overbought
The LL is aldo a trip low, do you pretty much have 16 pips lower guaranteed. Of course there is way more at stake here. The market is staring into an abyss. There is no support line until 1.04. Of course, one could be made on the way.
Same ol’ trendline alll week long.
Professional average block size circled as they are leaning into the selling.
True understanding starts here.
Hourly candles.
A stand-out, 8H higher High/Lower Low with a wick on the wrong side of the E-16 is a Starter candle ( StarTrek is okay too).
The second working cadle has to make a new 8-sample Low/High by at least 2 pips. Otherwise the run isn’t a Racer; it is an Eraser.
///starter candle up
if (High[i+1]-Open[i+1]>45*Point && High[i+1]-Close[i+1]>45*Point && High[i+2]<High[i+1] && High[i]<High[i+1] &&

ObjectSetText("Dalton"+DoubleToStr(i), "ERASER", 22, "Impact", Green);
}A racer sequence will make a move outside the 30BB, as all exits can be found there. 20 pips out or Shy & Shy with a money flow divergence.
We may be printing a new STarter candle now with that long-cover wick.
The eraser move will tackle the swing low/high, sweep, and reverse.
Believe it or not, the decision to sustain the move is made in the first 3 hours.
Race Me To The Finish Line
Set the sails high, feeling alive
Riding winds of fate, where the ocean dives

…is done.
The suggested mean reversion to the S-356 (Hourly) S-712 (30-minute) has happened.
The down move looks to have an ABC, finished structure.
The A leg produced two blue support levels, the B leg two hourly fractals, and the C leg two blue support levels.
So all systems go to the upside?
Not so fast.
A high volume weekly churn has enough momentum to carry the price further for about 2 weeks. Then, a 2-week pullback before another run for up to 6 more weeks.
A swing high is made with a weekly close lower by 91+ pips. I circled this event. There is always a lift come next week, usually around 51 pips, but occasionally, it can be as low as 24 pips. I circled the qualifier weekly closes.
24 pips higher means 1.0836, 51 pips is 1.0863, and it is not impossible that the first move would be down.
All Euro news is with raised bars. Disappointment made easy.

…of the yellow trendline.
Check how cleanly that hourly support low was made (dark blue) and was back tested along with pro volume coming in. Interestingly enough they may have already gone back in short.
Things could accelerate once the daily pro volume candle gets exceeded to the downside by 15 pips.
There is a long way down for the daily stochastic.
After a GLD print, a HEAD print would be logical, but I don’t know exactly until the market consolidates overnight taking the weight lower. Should that be here, you are looking at 1.0788-1.0770
There should be a catastrophic cover at the end of this decline, and the stochastic bars have not even started printing yet, let alone started diverging.
For now, the continuation entry should be a failure at the E-16: count 8 more candles after the down fractal, if no closes / not sustaining above the EMA, you should go in for the next leg.
That yellow trendline has been very popular lately.
One leg down has ended, a Thrust is always a Wave 5.
The current bounce made it to the Goosing zone.
That red volume block may still be attractive enough for a spike-up.
The bottom of that green field is the S-356. An important average. One more False Start print would be too many.
The price has grazed the 9-day EMA, poke below the Upper Guard Rail.
Weekly pivot, 3 spike lows. A bounce, a Wave 2 up.
The 3 catastrophic exits are a way more powerful setup.
…to end a correction is a letter h.
To make a support / resistance level, you need enough volatility (12 pips), a color switch and an immediate 55% retake of the hourly candle’s body.
What a letter h is is two support levels made in a quick sequence (bow back) not letting the price consolidate.
In this case the low of the support making canfle was taken out in 3 hours.
The correction was brought on by professionals taking profits in a large cluster, but the trend has resumed since and it is in need of a proper top.
I would like to see a catastrophic exit next.
This would require an hourly fractal with a stochastic bar print followed by another fractal that would be a higher high without the bar print.
The Market has three speeds: ebb and flow, Parabolic, and Catastrophic. All three speeds have different exits and somewhat different entries.
The catastrophic market kicks in with V outside the 8 EMO.
It ends in a cluster of profit taking (multiple hourly prints back to back).
You must go with the direction after every second counter fractal and with a print of a new V during a wave 3 of Wave 3.
A catastrophic market can get outside the pendulum without consolidation by 30 pips.
The next image shows the shift up from 2 to 3.
The image below shows the exit for the catastrophic market: the cluster of hourly professional block-size prints where they offloaded their longs.
This is Wave 4 that should make it to the E-9 daily and the lower Guard Rail (extra 50-60 pips from the E-9 band) before resuming with a Wave 5.

Lyrics
Never going to get supplied The supply chain has gone offline Never going to get the price For sale does not mean You’d get a deal It is not the inflation that’s gone down It is the rate of change With certainty there are only two things You can say: Life & buying power are going away [Chorus] Shorting bread Hoarding fat By the time I start losing weight You would already be dead Quoted what Matthew Broderick Of wall street had said Certainly, you can hope for a better pay Wishing upon a pie If only roast pigeons could fly A lumberjack starts pulling on a thread All out of OJ, in need of Cofee & Beans For the Lean Hog Gotta beef up the production of Soy Beans That’s his crude idea for a portfolio of Comodities It is not the inflation that’s gone down It is the rate of change
