The counting is now almost finished and we should see some corrective moves up. Notice the 161 fib support. Excellent trading setup building up again.

Thanks again for the advice Understanding and counting corrections correctly is a must for good entries.

Corrections, especially large degree 4th waves like EUR/USD was in this spring, require several alternate counts until you can rule them out. It helps to study the currency you trade, and make screen shots of real formations in the time frame you trade, so you can print and post it nearby. Start with text book examples, but move into a dozen real samples of flats, triangles, and zig-zags that you can reference in real time as they happen.

Short course, if it is not an impulse by the rules, then it is a corrective pattern.

The market is being controlled by panic and fear. Markets are spooky. Things are so scary, that the world's government leaders are meeting to solve this crisis, if possible.
Smart money has a Risk Aversion Sentiment strategy.
We need to see this sentiment subside before any meaningful trend changes are to occur.

Stand aside with cash ready to exploit some no-brainer trade opportunities this week.

Looks as if we are in (v) of 5 of III (or C), possible to be complete at 1.6500-1.6550 area. The 61.8% of 1.3680-2.1143 on the Monthly is @ 1.6519. This lines up nicely with some support targets on the 1 hr, and may be a good launching spot for a sizeable wave IV retracement up to previous wave 4 of III around 1.8671. Any thoughts?

I agree with your count, looks like a good call.

Do you follow EUR/USD as well with a chart?

Sure, their moves look much the same at the moment. Perhaps both are creating another triangle again, that is at least what cable seems to doing.

Perhaps not?

Consider this alternate count, based on relations with other major currencies and USD Index. DX and CHF low was probably wave 3, and then had a failed wave 5 = 'truncated'.

So in you Swissy chart, ALT = change your w.a to w.4, and w.b to w.5
Then the big move up was a wave 1 rocket, and we are now in w.3 or an extension in w.3

Try that out, see what you think. Makes you careful about going short if we are in a w.3 rocket. Same applies for EUR/USD

True, that is a possible scenario. On the other hand, I believe Elliot said that "the simplest pattern is likely to be the correct explanation most of the time". So I stick to my plan, but keep in mind your alternative and wait for further PA.

Thanks,
R

By all means, stick to your plan, just sharing alternate views. I had the same count as you, and moved it one back because the first wave is too small and dwarfed by the 5th, when they should be equal ideally. And again, when you line up Dollar Index, Oil, Gold, Yen, Eur, and GBP, they share common dates when they finished moves that is hard to ignore. Time will tell,

What Elliott said was to use the count that fits the most rules. (and breaks the fewest guidelines)

Is it possible that we have completed wave C of the correction, or have we just completed wave 3 of 5 down?

Good analysis & hope correct. Though I am very new to learn EW I see my chart after completing A wave now it is forming the B wave & in c correction of the subwaves of A or in subwave 4 of B , do not know if possible without abc correction it can run 1-5 waves again or how many way a single wave should count anywhere??

Looks good

There is a change that price takes a dip down first, eg. to previous hl, as there is no real a-b-c in wave4. Anyhow your target is imo ok, could be somewhere between 7750-7800?

Ok, I guess that often there are possibilities for different counts. But then this becomes a problem, if these different ways of counting are proposing different next moves - one says price is going up, the other one says it is going down...

Now eu at 1.3357 as expected in c wave or even can be B wave ( most likely ) and waiting to finish it before go up to form C to go UP above 1.3785 ( A) .

Sorry Au is identical to eu I mention here Eu prices .In Au prices at 0.6698 bounce back from lowest 0.6494 either it already in C wave or even the B wave may not be finished then it go much down to 0.6494 to finish subwave (5) of B to go up again to form big C much beyound 0.7236 ( A)

Yes diferrent counts make problem to me as I am very new & no time go through all those books or time consuming courses.The smallest tf should have the smallest waves those can be counted without any confusion & every time they should confirm the original count in different tf also as changes in lowest tf ultimately represented in higher tf .

Anyway still know lots & experts are not coming to disclose their secrets & I am more confident that using ELW perfect way can make more pips every time It goes , that is one can take pips in every single wave it forms , anytime go to the market & earn only when it counts perfectly.

Looks like the correction is complete now. It was almost impossible to count the final waves, so there is a change that euro wants to visit that 161 fib line first and heads north after that is done.

In a bigger perspective euro may continue consolidation for some time, because of this economic hassle going on. So that might give us a double zigzag - or is it a sprint up? Let's wait and see ...

EU
started learning it actually.
Just now I see the eurusd chart in 2 tf, M30 & H1 , they tell different story & again after 1 full sets of movements the next one will start unfolding & may be we are in the transition period.

See M30 chart:

There is bearish divergence, completed a diagonal triangle ( as can be point as wave 4), & most possibly continuation of the downtrend to some extent perhaps .
See H1 chart

Bullish divergence,the big correction wave B possibly finished & already started the Big C wave to go much up . Not impossible that Big B not yet finished ,triangle break downside correctly to a new low to form the new B & then again go up to create C . Then only both tf charts fit .
So probable movements , first retest bottom of B (1.3340 )break to go much down say 1.32 or less,have a bottom & start up towarsd 1.3682 or up if fundaments supports so.
With oil if go up this week ,bring the EU with it & this movements are not impossible .Range should be 1.32 to 1.36 when taking consideration of all aspects moderately.
If do aggressively then they should be 1.30 to 1.4
Please give your opinion in this respect , we may not follow this analysis into trades but can follow up the results together.

Gold
Hey guys, whats up? I am just jumping around a litlle and decided to put some gold chart in to this threat.

This gold has been pretty tricky since the new yearly lows. Fisrtly I was looking for a possible a-b-c-d-e triangle in wave II. But now when are prices down at 76.4% Fibo support looks like we have the zig zag correction with the irregular b. The fisrt signs of the bulls could already be here as the market broke the trend lines. But I suggest you to be patient, form my experineces, market always need a lot of room around this 76.4% support, because it can happen that it wont tested thsi leve only once. However, the risk and award is loking pretty good...

If the oil breaks the support at $70 and euro pushes below 1.3350 then we may also see new lows on the gold...But in this situattion I am hopping on flat on the gold, because otherwise I will need to change my wave count, cause this one will be invalidated.

Yes, I see similar counts with many pairs, at least usdcad could be included in your list. However, uj seems to be a different case, my count there is different (in the light of latest moves mine seems to be wrong)...

My updated usdjpy count looks now like this, very tricky, might still have some errors in it. Any alternatives for this count?

R

PS. Just noticed that wave3 is not correct...

Leading diagonals
Leading diagonals are quite rare, and expanding variety are even more rare.

Grega - nice to see you drop in. I favor a bearish Gold count, still favor an unfinished Cycle degree correction from the Mar 17 high is not complete yet.

That is exactly what I meant, not too happy with the count. So how would you count uj? Thanks,

Hi Muthu, an expanding diagonal seems to be pretty unavoidable, to make some sense to counting. But the rest from your wave2 onwards has imo many options. Your counting is one, but perhaps it leads to too many nested counts (cycles within eachother)? Here you can see my once again my updated proposal, which is a little bit different to yours.

There could also be some triangle plays with the ongoing correction, but obviously this is one of those pairs where we just have to wait for more price movements until it is possible to create a reliable count.

BR,
R

What's The Count?
Hey guys, I'm new to the thread. BTW, nice thread. I spent time over the weekend catching up to now what has become this point in the thread. Anyway, I'm wondering what everyone now thinks about the GBP/JPY pair. Are we still heading up the the "C" wave or do you feel that the wave came up short today, and that we are going to start a new #1 point tomorrow? Or Maybe it's a sideways x,y,z?

Any thoughts of the current count after today (Monday)?

Thanks...

Your count looks good, I also had a small triangle w.iv that broke lower last night as expected. Not sure small w.v is done. It is not truncated technically if it is lower than w.3 (the B wave does not count). In light of the turmoil, the push down has been more sideways.

I see the final w.5 on your chart as small w.i of something larger, likely wave 3 down.

Yes, you are right about the truncation, this looks like one because of the correction having the lowest point in the pattern, but as w5 goes lower than w3, this isn't a truncation.

The last wave may not be finished yet, but as a whole this pattern looks now pretty good, and the 161 fib support seems to be holding.

But better to wait for more confirmation.

it is in great down trend long term , see d1 ,w1 chart and most of the retracement attempts continue to failed & now it is 5th leg of a vey big downtrend , not even middle but it seems at the starting of it ( ii) ,the next move (iii) will be very big may enough to go below 1.30.

though it seems an arrest as 5 th fail & double bottom but virtually it impossible to think so & as there is not any divergence arround in h1 chart not interruption in thie existing down trend of 5th leg should be happen.
lets see what happen in near future , today.



also I see usdjpy

I just see 5 th wave failure & presented at double top in C retracement wave in usdjpy & hence there should be good movement down here , watch it

also see the same in m15,m30 having completed all the el pattenrs .also see the bearish divergence.
and there no such compelling datas today ,so will go without much fundaments to interrup( though oil expected up due to fear of output cut by OPEC) .

please advice & help correction.

Patterns/price action do exist in forex. However, EW is a COMPLETE waste of time. Focus on the patterns, not the counts.

Perhaps my count was at least good, because the move downwards is sharp and it is very likely that we are in a 3rd wave now.
This week i didn't short the pair from 1.34 , because i have bought different counts from a professional, who thought that we are not in a 3rd wave now

Thanks. It's been challenging keeping up with these overextended moves. I have an update, as I believe we are now in (v) of (v) of 5 down, that could potentially end around 1.60 area.

though there was a breakout of the triangle but it seemed failed 5th wave to have a double bottom but can't believe it !!
The 5th wave of such a big trend plus the v subwave all can be so short ,totally failed & very transient, overnight? not even seen by most in trading sessions???????????simply impossible .................

I do not now thinking this way , actually true breakout not happened yet it continues make complexes in the iv wave correction

with clear bearish divergence still there .

-> w-C is in 12345 form if we take w-4 as diamond pattern.

@fontu
sorry i cannot help u bro...
but it seems that loco is on around 200-223.6% of the fib expansion, so it's probably on wave iv
but don't trust me...
i'm still a beginner...

Daily chart. I see it as a double zigzag in which we are in the last abc where a could be completed.
So this leg down should not be the last one and once the next leg up completes it should put (at least) a new low.

Its ok & thanks for some analysis . I have no knowledge about fib so far . Gold it very risky if fail to count properly , I think finished the subwave & now creating a & 4th corrective wave of bigger started to stay for some time .Or in 4th subwave of big 3

Gold labels
Labels for gold chart, where A-B-C is combined to make a larger cycle W, X, Y and possibly Z. X wave can repeat, the A-B-C's keep going in the same direction down.

I was talking about another low after this leg down completes.

I have no idea the price level where this leg completes and I don't think there's any trading value in trying to bottom picking it. Always trade in the direction of impulse, right now is down so you should position down only. If you want to go long then wait until you see an impulsive move up then wait some more for its retracement and only then enter long - using your favorite setup. This is how I'd play it...

fontu, and others who are just starting using EW, please take into consideration that EW is not a full trading system, is just another tool to identify the trend and its strength. And it does a terrific job doing just that. And nothing more. So EW is just a tool in your trading strategy but you have to define the whole strategy and how you enter, how you exit and what role has EW in your strategy.

Good luck!

Thanks a lot again , I got the bottom 681.45$ I spot clearly & place buy orders & got more than expected profit in gold & though there were more chance in gpbjpy I did for gold in an ac specially for gold & other place gj 350 pips already & about 1000pips in probable with this count perfect.

Now after finishing a wave it is creating the b to upto 818$ minimum & then c wave down below to 681$ as 664$ ( possible) .

Thanks all who helps me .

I've been playing with ew about a week and based on that "experience" I would say that even though ew states clear rules for counting the waves, applying the rules is a problem. Especially fast moves are difficult, like euro's last leg down, which seems to be a never ending story. I bet that many elliotticans (including ew professionals) assumed that last friday bottom was the end for the w5, but that is not the case (as you can see right now).

When you say that ew is capable to show the trend, I'd say that yes, to some extent. But if you do not have any other means to determine end points of price movements, then you, at least occasionally, will enter or exit the market too early, simply because sometimes (often?) counting is more ad-hoc than "exact science". Experience in ew may help to some extent in this, but like the euro example shows, counting still is a pretty difficult task.

Good luck!

Always trade in the direction of impulse, right now is down so you should position down only. If you want to go long then wait until you see an impulsive move up then wait some more for its retracement and only then enter long - using your favorite setup. This is how I'd play it...

fontu, and others who are just starting using EW, please take into consideration that EW is not a full trading system, is just another tool to identify the trend and its strength. And it does a terrific job doing just that. And nothing more. So EW is just a tool in your trading strategy but you have to define the whole strategy and how you enter, how you exit and what role has EW in your strategy.

Good luck!

Hi Rocroy,

Overall you are right in what you are saying, I'll just clear a few points from my perspective.

I dont know how many ellioticians assumed that last Friday was THE bottom. I also made an assumption, I was (and still am) expecting a bottom but expecting it is completely a different story than trading it.
Those that bought Euro Friday or a few hours ago are bottom pickers and they are everywhere, you dont have to be an elliotician to be one . Truth is that an elliotician may be more inclined to bottom pick than usual.

Back to expecting a bottom on Friday, I already said in my last post the way I'd trade reversals - always wait for the first impulsive move in the timeframe I'm trading then wait some more for the first retracement and then join in the direction of the impulse, if there is a bar setup.

And lastly, EW is just another trading tool (a trend identification tool for me) and it is based on probabilities, like any other technical tool. So yes, it fails, and sometimes in a miserable way. In the end is like you say, experience is the mother of all - with or without EW.

One more thing, I wouldnt worry in counting every bit of a fast move. Why do that? When it ends it ends, the first sign is an impulse in the opposite direction so until it reverses better stay chilled. I am still making this mistake though
This is true for complex corrections too, it is simply not worth to count every bit of a wave better mark some retracements/price S/R levels and when/if the correction gets there watch the price action around those levels and enter accordingly.

Hope it helps.

Thanks soso, good to hear how others are actually using ew.

I guess the reason to my post was that my few first ew experiments happened to go too well and based on those my hopes were set too high. So maybe it was time to set my feet back on the ground.

EW is far from useless but it has its limitations. I'm surely going to use it in the future, but I need to study it more and need more experience on it. Also, like you mentioned, I need something else to overcome ew limitations (including patience ) and I might just have the tools for that.

Trade well,
R

GBPCAD
This is an example of how I am trading guys (or trying ), current GBPCAD Daily. I have posted this chart in the J16 thread as well last night (gmt) and in the meantime the order got activated.

We are in a prolonged sideways move from which I hope we're on our way out. So we have an impulsive move up followed by a retracement between 50-62% of w.1 in a HUGE Reversal Bar (or Pin Bar). Next bar is an inside bar but also a Reversal Bar.
Buy order at the break of the IB (or the previous big bar for safer entry).
First target somewhere near 2.1700.

AUDNZD, Daily
Another Daily chart that looks good imo.

We are in a consolidation that is most likely a wave 4 and the current high of this wave is pips away of a good confluence (50% retracement of waves (1) throguh (3) and 38% retracement of wave (3)).
The target for wave (5) should not be much lower than wave (3) bottom. We have an old S/R pivot sitting at 1.0430 and this is the level I am looking to take profit if I will be in the trade.
At this point I would say this correction is nearing its end and the only thing that misses is a bar setup to get us in. What we had yesterday was a Reversal Bar and if today will be an Inside Bar I will look to set a sell order 1 pip below Reversal Bar low.

I dont have anything on EURUSD, been looking at 4H timeframe but cant see nothing worth mentioning so for me it is the waiting stage regarding this currency, for now.

eur/usd
EUR completed a diagonal triangle V - as expected, and rocketed up in a wave 1 or A to near 1.2992

Below is today's chart with potential C wave short entry now. Looking for yesterdays chart to show the nice entry 1.2460, before this was updated. Good trading

One of the common rules in Forex trader is to take it easy and chose a simple indicator. Keep it easy!

Beside the fact that I don’t think it really work Elliot Waves, as far as I’ve studied, it’s too complicated and represent too much analysis time.

I think it’s worthless.

nothing is worthless...
a nice wave 3 can give u lots of pips...
and all analysis can support the others, so it's not worthless at all...
but it's up to you... if u feel it worthless, then simply don't use it...

Updated outlook, it seems YEN is waiting for the interest rate announcement tonight, the result should be a move down on USD/JPY.

Is it possible that we have completed A and are in B of a larger ABC correction that would take us to the upper reaches of the previous wave(iv) around 102.50, before we complete a wave 5 down? This would be consistent with the principle of alternation, considering we had a pretty short wave 2, and would be consistent with the complex corrections that are taking place on the EUR, GBP and there impending wave 5's as well. Just my two cents.

This is so interesting. Everyone have their own elliott wave rule.

For me, here is how it looks like after fib retrace plug in.

5 wave already complete in day chart. now is the wave correction.
expecting hit fib 50 (wave 1-5) = wekly pivot point.

I guess too risky, so moved my SL to breakeven.

I'm sure you are right, I do not know ew that well yet. But imo correcting that does not change counting much, only some details in the beginning are affected.

Question
Hi! I don't know much about the Elliot's theory but I understand that the main trend is established by waves 1 through 5 and can be either up or down. The three following waves always move in the opposite direction of waves 1 through 5, good so far I guess, when I get kind of confused is when it comes to cycles, supercycles, , grand super cycles and so with all the other divisions of waves, but I really want to learn. I’ve been reading more about this method and I’ve been looking forward to keeping up on the thread. By the way, thanks.

In Elliott's day there was no such thing as intra-day data such as H1 or 5M so I think EW rules should not be taken as absolutes - including the biggie that W4 shouldn't trade below W1 high. BTW this "rule" wasn't originally in Elliott Wave Theory. He put it in later on to please the wall street crowd.

Sometimes the price data just won't cooperate. Is it better to stick to the rules or find trades?

Just checking the corrective waves in eurusd , seems still to down to complete wave B & then C if may not up above A but may touch & then finish big wave 4 of weekly counts to come down . as global turmoil yet to settle it may even go much extremes than expected .

I agree. Glen Neely covers this in his book, when he argues that EW using candles is not as accurate as using averaging data points. For most of us, this can be easily accomplished by using the 'line' view to cut average candle wicks. It also helps when doing counts by seeing through some noise in a different view. I used it a few times this week when wave 4 crept into wave 1 territory, and could justify relaxing the rule for a few pips. I see the rules as items not to be dismissed lightly for good reasons (that would allow incorrect counts to pass), rather than face an alternative count. Obey the rules, but use discretion when it is on the border line - and be aware of the consequences of changing rules. (experience says the rules are there for a reason). The EWI people also will not toss out a count because of a few pips from a candle wick, knowing that the structure of the count is most important.

Euro count
Will we see Euro drop? Or stall until after the election?

CAD - ALT count

Perhaps we should consider an ALT count, with 3's down, as a possible continuation of CAD much higher? Just kicking it around, always like to consider the reasonable ALT counts.

When I stand back and look at CAD monthly or weekly, it looks like it has a wave.5 to complete large C up. THis correction may be a wave 4???? My 2 cents.

For some reason, I have a feeling that we are going to see our fair share of truncated fifths relatively soon.

CAD
This may be the current CAD wave count for the retracement. The diagonal triangle C in IV makes sense, the 3 wave movements are clear in places, nothing looks like an impulse. It would be terminal, and followed by a rocket north when it is complete, if this is the correct count.

Hi guys,

Good thoughts you got there Blue bottle and FXoffshore. Looking at charts only (and ignoring elections which I know could set a new trend once they are done) it looks like we may have another high.
In my eyes the last leg up is impulsive and if it is true then we might have just reached the bottom for the 3-wave correction.

Well it looks like strength of the move makes it clearly an impulsive one so probabilities are still for the original assumption meaning that we can expecy a new high, most probabily unfolded as a 5-wave move - the move up today being wave 1.
So I would look for a long setup again once the price retraces more at least 50% of today's move and thus creating the wave 2.

This is what I am watching lately...

P.S. FXoffshore and other experienced EW people what do you think about .786? It appeared yet again today, I never put much emphasis on it but seeing how price reacts lately near it I consider to upgrade its strengh in the future.

Clearly it was a big move today but put a ADX indicator on your chart and you'll see that trend strength is flat. IMO even though it appears to be impulsive it is really a correction or ABC off the lows from 10/28/08. I'll change opinion if it closes above (on 4h chart) 1.3125 area and continues higher.

I am also inclined to think the same way. My view is that Wave B is still in progress and we will still see a down-move before price moves up again for Wave C.

Fibo .786
.786 is common in triangles to have the right slope. It is more useful to me than .50, which is not a Fibo number. It can move up to about .80 and down several points without much concern. Keep in mind that wave structure is critically important, while fibo ratios are guidelines for tests and targets that work better on expansion than on retracement.

I am considering this whole move up a correction. And we are in the 3rd wave of the correction which I expect it to be a 5 wave move thus impulsive. Maybe I should have been more clear of what impulses I was talking.

Later edit: Actually I am not sure if it is a larger correction or a short one (or the start of new long term trend up, yes this too), that is the reason it is noted with "i" rather than "1" or "a".

Thanks FXoffshore. Regarding .50, it is on my top of the list along with .62, I've seen too many .50 levels hold the price if not trully reverse it to ignore it. Like right now on EURUSD which stopped at .50. I guess in the end is a matter of taste and experience.
Will keep an eye for .786 for a while from now on...

Though there is a possibilities as soso stated but think we are still in big 4 wave correction as see in H4 & D1 and lower tf now in subwave b of C correction & may go up 1.3295( tip of A) or even up to finish the correction & then to start down the big 5th wave down .

Possible fontu, to tell you the truth I dont have any opinion for the whole move down on Euro since the July top. I can't count a clear 5-wave move down so for now I am ignoring the longer term count. Would love to see yours and other people longer term counts...
What matters most is the timeframe you're trading, if you have a good EW picture on that timeframe then is all good.

this is my count.

I think a triangle is forming as wave 4 of (3 or C), counting from the July top.

Very good counts unicorn , precise & clean . yes all the trouble with this 4 corrective wave forming the diagonal triangle & waiting for the break . as it will be a great fall it took lots of time & create much confusions /complexieties ( more perhaps till obama not down it??) too . I like your charts . I printed it for reference .

Excellence
Excellent chart counts Unicorn. Clean and detailed.

This 4th wave could end with a move higher above 1.33 to complete a flat, or it can move down to continue the triangle wave D. It is good practice to consider the ALT count and define what would eliminate one or the other. Wave 4 are hard to call as complete in real time, personally I give them a lot of leeway to prove direction, or use small lots and wide stops - knowing the wave 5 is coming sometime.

wave 4 alternate counts
fontu, fxOffshore, thank you.

I added the alternate count (flat).

Length(C) = Length(A) leads to 1.3460, and wave 4 goes above the bottom of wave 1 (1.3448) by 12 pips.
It better not enter within the price range of wave 1.

The top of C when Length(C) = 78.6% * Length(A) is at 1.3256

cheers.

It is not an indicator. It is an analysis methodology.
It is not an indicator.
It is an analysis methodology.
Google "Elliott Wave".
There is a lot of information on the net.
Be prepared to spend a lot of hours to understand all the details.
It takes perseverance to learn how to apply it.
Good Luck.

Long side or Short side?

If its wave 4 triangle then can expect it to break downwards for wave 5..

eurusd triangle update.
eurusd triangle update.

so far waves A, B, C of ABCDE triangle are complete.
Price is in the process of completing wave D.
If the triangle formation for wave 4 reflects reality, then price will bounce on lower triangle line and proceed up to test top triangle line (wave E) which will correspond to the completion of wave 4.

Next wave 5 (down) begins.
Unless ABC completed a 3-3-3 "flat";
in this case, eurusd has already started wave 1 of 5 down, and will slice through the lower triangle line, OR will first bounce on the line and then proceed down.

So Blue Bottle, I think that eurusd is going down; both of these EW scenarios are bearish for the euro.

For a bullish scenario, one must be able to count 5 waves up, on both of waves A and C examined.
I have tried, but I cannot see such a count; that is the reason I post such a detailed Elliott wave count.

Please take a look and try to count 5 waves up (following the rules). I would be very interested in a bullish count, if one exists.
Let me know.

FxOffshore, fontu, what's your take?

cheers.

As a matter of fact, I do have a 5 wave count (about to complete in the area of 1.2650 ~ 1.2600).

It is not so "good looking", but it is a 5 wave count down, which means that when the lower triangle line is tested, (assuming this count is correct) the bounce will be wave 2.


For the shake of analysis, here is the chart. It is on 1000V bars (1000 contracts volume bars) on the futures contract (Globex).

Your comments and observations are welcome.

My feeling is a bit same as yours. I'm not saying whether the triangle breaks on the upside or downside, but I think we'll get a complex correction. The previous corr was a simple one, maybe it is time for a more complex correction. It would mean that we will sit here, perhaps between 161 and 261 fibs quite a while. Maybe in December, when euro rate is lowered next time (?) we'll get w5.

Just my 2c, R

My take on the EUR?USD pair, for what it's worth:

We're in agreement that it's a Wave 4 correction, right? I see Wave A as a 5-wave up-move; Wave B which is in progress is a triangle; and the thrust when Wave B ends will be a 5-wave upmove (Wave C) that will complete the whole corrective ABC move.

How about Cable? The move down looks corrective to me. At this point we have A fib relationship between corrective waves and if it is on par with Euro then it should go up...

GBPJPY, H4
Corrective move down stopped between 50%-62% retracement zone. Also in there we have a strong pivot level that hold the price. From an EW pov we have a=c. Probabilities are in favor of Bullish following in my opinion.

Thanks all for the new views as the B wave still to finish & C to up to start but I still did not changed my mind of the old counting as we are in wave 4 correction making comlexes ,may be more but ultomately to down for the wave 5,Big C up still a possibilities though it may short cut now with already the 5 th wave starts inside the narrower proximities of the triangle in eurusd & if wave 1 =wave 5 then more 1600 pips to down & similar situation in most pairs similar .
just taking possibilities .


ma,stoches ,Lswpr & no divergence arround suggest this movement .

doji;

I cannot have a clean 5 wave count for A;
It does not look natural; in my opinion one has to force the count to be 5 waves as opposed to a WXY;

If you have a detailed count of A please post it.

Thank you.

gu..easy easy easy.just look n u shall see
hi traders..wow..what can i say.I am really glad to find this thread..i have been dying to meet good wave traders..i mean those that are sound..in there counting..or join a party of wave traders but have really been unable to find one..till now i mean..it was like nobody trades wave..but am glad i found you guys..so i will say thanks for keeping the thread up till am here...
Now to business..ill like to start with the gbp/usd analysis....its really a tricky one..for those that are in the unknown zone..but i guess we are lucky uh..?anyway...gu is currently trading in the wave B zone for now NO DOUBT ABOUT that! as triangles are not in wave 2 but only in 4 and Bs and this definitely is not a 4 so we are left with one option B.Now here comes the tricky part..as a waver..we all know the C move is up..n i think we are all anticipating to go long..but before we get jumpy..i will like to bring our notice to this..
the first wave up wave A unfolded in a 3 wave pattern..thereby paving a way for a flat consideration...as we all know that a 3 wave move up as A precedes a 3 wave move down for B,with a new price high (in bear a new price low.)so i will like to break down these wave B into wave counting to confirm the analysis..now.
First triangles take a 3 3 3 3 3 pattern labelled abcde.now as i have indicated in my chart below we are currently in the (d) of b and i want you to remember that wave (e) is still coming..which as we all know..will undershoot the trendline..
there is actually so much to say but i hope we can all develop on this..n understand that the market..will still form a new low before..the C bull wave will begin..and with the news of usd gaining this week..i dont think it is wise to go long now..till the e wave is completed..
Another reading ..using ratio analysis in wave..also forcasts the same thing as i have also shown in my chart below..that a new low must be seen before a bulish C would be formed..my..ratio analytical targets are as follow..
wave (a)of B travelled 1092 points downward..and since wave A equals wave C using the equality rulein a normal zigzag..wave C will also travel 1092 points or more..giving the target point at 1.5100 precisely..but there could be more depending on the dow confirmations...there by confirming again that a new low will be seen.
So why not sit back and relax ..watch and wait for this low to be seen before going long...as for me.. i will start going long..on gu from this point..i mean 1.5100 with a good money management..i hope these will shead the light that we are all waiting for.We wil talk about the target point..when we are in the long position...uhmmm..
Can u imagine..even using chart patterns..we are seeing a decending triangle..a confirmation for short....and using trendline analysis...u can sell on the break of this lower trendline.......what else could you possibly want?NOW WHO SAYS THE MARKET IS CHAOTIC....pls keep piping.or watching...
for any arguments or more explanation..mail omotope00@yahoo.com (add ff)

Hi Rocroy;

Thanks for the count;

It is almost the same as the one I came up with.
Now, let me explain what I don't like about it:

If you pick all the waves labeled as 1 and go to the 2 min (or the 1 min) chart and examine them you will verify that they are a-b-c sequences; not clean 1-2-3-4-5 sequences.

This means that the perceived (1-2-3) sets of the assumed (1-2-3)-4-5 sequences are in effect breaking as 3-3-5 sequences i.e. as corrective a-b-c while the perceived 4-5 sequence is the following X-Y of the W-X-Y.

This points to 3-3-5 waves as W, followed by (3-3-3) X, followed by a five structure, the Y wave.

Have a look; let me know.
All observations and analysis remarks are welcome.

Thanks for a detailed and careful analysis, I'm glad you joined the thread.

Now to your claim about first waves (on bold below). I did examine the waves on 1min chart, and it seems to me that both counts are possible. They (1. waves) may not the most elegant or clean impulses, but anyhow imo counting them as such does not violate any of the ew rules. And if this is the case, I'd certainly prefer 1-2-3-4-5 instead of a-b-c.

Anyhow, I guess we just need to wait for additional data and complete the counting when we know a little bit more.

Thanks again, R

gu again
fontu
oh..i think i now get what you are trying to say fontu...besides i am not disputing the fact that we are in a wave 4..but thats on a daily timeframe..and about the complain on why the 38.2 point has not been met is not a big deal cos its going to hit..before we see more movement down..more..but mean while i feel the wave 4 (broken down) itself is trying to be a complex flat with a temporal new low that would be formed at around..1.5100 as first target and a complete analytical point at 1.4925 in order to justify the movement up C...am very positive about this as this point i mean the 38.2% retracement point will be achieved.then ..only then will the new low wave 5 be seen.
thanks for the enlightenment but am talking about the wave 4 itself..the circles point is the point of concern.
pls i will gladly welcome anymore coments..pls.

EURO Triangle may complete wave E tonight.
As expected, a bearish contracting triangle formed as wave 4 in EUR/USD over the past 4 weeks, and it is reaching an optimum trade entry with the near completion of wave E. Aggressive traders can enter within the red-dashed box near 1.30 at the top of E with 1/2 lots, then the other 1/2 when price breaks the lower trend line and closes a candle to confirm the downward start of wave i of (5) down. Downside target is below 1.2300, and may exceed 1.20 by mid-December to set a low before a large retracement.

Hey FXoffshore,

Considering the euro is forming a triangle in its wave 4. Do you think that the Pound could have already completed its wave 4 and possibly wave 1 of 5. I have attached a chart with what appears to be a 5 wave count in wave 1 and also a nice Head and Shoulders pattern developing. Your comments would be much appreciated.

Cable in a triangle as well
Hi Pipeye,

I do not normally trade Cable, so my charts are not kept 'in tune'. I only look at EUR/USD, oil, S&P, as swing trades, mid term. But I gave it a quick evaluation. I see GBP in a triangle as well, wave A is a double zig-zag like Euro I assumed, and the rest counts easily. If this is the correct count, wave E is near complete now - I would expect another push higher with a false break to the top side, then the start of wave V down.

On your chart, wave 4 significantly overlaped wave 1, which breaks one of the three rules. Sometimes this can be the case in a diagonal triangle, but I don't see it in that form, I could easily be wrong. Always best to consider the alternative and welcome valid counts. The key is knowing how to eliminate or lower some counts, and ideally get to just one before entering the trade. For me that is an "8-cycle" (a 5 followed by a 3 retracement).

Much appreciated. You know, I have been a little confused about the overlap rule (wave 4 into wave 1), as it seems that some people allow for it to enter but not close into the area of wave 1. The problem with that is the ambiguity it creates. From now on, no overlap for this kid.

As I said earlier, I think the only trouble with that is sometimes the waves just don't cooperate. A wave 4 trades into wave 1, then a wave 5 completes and the trader is left behind.

Read everything you can. There are many free resources. And practice counts on charts. It takes a great amount of practice to learn, and much experience to sense when you have a too many viable counts to trade.

Elliott Wave International's tutorial is the most comprehensive introduction to the Elliott Wave Principle available in cyberspace. All ten lessons have been adapted from Prechter and Frosts Wall Street bestseller, Elliott Wave Principle - Key to Market Behavior.

Triangle Resolution
ok; done with wave 4.

It is time to count the 5 wave sequence that is under way.
i.e. count the sub-waves of 1 of 5 of (3 or C).

I have noticed that some friends are counting wave 3 as completed and the triangle wave 4 as being 4 of a larger 5- wave structure.

My count considers this triangle as wave 4 of 3 (or C), and considers the current wave that has started today as 5 of 3 (or C). Your observations and comments on this aspect of the count are welcome (count details given at my first post on this thread).

Next chart, today's 5 wave sequence.
cheers.

Robert Prechter teaches theory.

But the guy who teaches how to practically trade EW is Robert Miner and his book is Dynamic Trading.

Is it possible that we just completed D and are on our way to complete E?
