This is a Wolfe Wave that formed since the beginning of the month as appeared on my ES 15 minute chart. Looks like it hit the 1-4 target line and died. But that point 5 was a little tricky to narrow down. As a matter of fact it has way exceeded the standard guideline for point 5 as set forth by Bill Wolfe.

I personally don't like waves - neither elliott nor these but here is some manuals I found that might be of help if anyone is interested :)

 

 

.. By the way searching these wolfe waves I found forex-tsd forum's thread about them and the guy who started it, and also who posted most about it edited and deleted all his posts :) maybe he found his own grail in them :) :P

Just to let you know, those manuals are reprint of LBR's book, "Street Smart". According to Bill Wolfe, they are not accurate.

Just had a quick look at the two pdf files. They seem pretty accurate to me. Doesn't surprise me that Bill Wolfe, whose trying to parlay a pattern into a career, would say they're inaccurate--it's in his economic self-interest to say so.

 

Well, it would make for an interesting discussion if someone can find some mistake in Linda's work. If you do, please post it!

Just ignore him then. i am only quoting what he said only because his last name is Wolfe.

What are the warning signs that the wolfe wave is about to fail ?

I mean , I have seen perfect patterns following all the rules , nice turnarounds from the line connecting points 1-3-5 and giving you all the confidence that the target 6 will be reached. Then , suddenly poof , the pattern falls apart.

What are the indicators that one should watch out ? I mean a warning sign that the wave is about to fall ?

 

Thanks in advance .

Its all about the move from point 4 to point 5. If this is choppy, the pattern is either negated, or the target becomes closer. Move your target line to be less aggressive in chop.

 

WW and Andrews are 2 methods that have been working very well in these choppy markets recently.

Hey Bubba,

 

A bit ugly since it looks like not so much a range as trend - -

But I will be the first to say that the ones that look "perfect" are the worst ones!!!

I really dont like the 4-5 wave- its so choppy...

I DO like the volume pattern, that looks pretty good especially at point 3 and 5.

 

Regardless the 1-3 line you drew is an important channel line, thanks for pointing this out.

thx for your point of view ws.. always appreciated.

price actually violated the 1-3 line (yesterday?).. anyway.. it quickly jumped 30-40pts or so. as i type, it's right back near the low. we'll see.

This is more like what I'm talkin about,

5 min chart, here's what I like:

 

Its more horizontal

Nice volume move off point 3

nice volume move into point 2

nice direct move from 4 to 5

nice triple touch to 1-3 line

the 1-4 line was touched once from the upside

 

good potential for a 40 pt move if price can stay above 1165.

One more thing that I noticed is that if you draw a smaller wave with the next peak after point 3 as mini point 4 and next touch as mini point 5 , than the target line from 1 to mini4 , perfectly points to major 4.

Nice call on the 40 pt ES. How about a 100 ES point day ? :o

6.01 million contracts traded 9/18/08, that is probably a record. 100 point range in ES in about 8 hours.

They are probably trying to gap this up to reduce selling by the longs and force covering by the shorts.

How about that?

Here's the after shot of that chart pattern I put up the other day.

It looked good to me, but to be honest I often get skeptical with this pattern on the higher time frames.

I hope some of you guys got those moves today, crazy rides. I had got some of that first 40 pts, and quite a bit out of the second move.

The key was how that 1-3 line acted as support after price blast through it, from there it was the easiest 20-30 points I've ever seen!

This is a good one to study.

Even the time predicted by 135 and 24 interesection worked perfectly.

Interesting pt. here...

 

this is the second touch of the Andrew's line, also a potential wolfe wave.

 

I like how this point one begins at the 50% of the range.

 

Also its not a steep line.

 

TIming wise, the distance from point one to three is almost equal point 2 to 4.

 

The gap below is a big void - extremely possible it will be tested.

 

A good plan would be to sell a retest of this box from below.

 

any thoughts?

yes sorry, es.. Its just an hourly.

 

day session only, as I found out (@ES.D in Tradestation).

 

Where would point 6 be, waveslider? Somewhere below point 2, right?

 

I like the fact that there's a pitchfork confirming the weakness.

Doesn't hurt that there are two moving averages providing resistance on the daily chart (34 EMA and 50 SMA).

 

Still, every money manager on the planet is telling his clients to get back into the market, so I'm dubious that point 6 will get reached. This might turn out to be a classic example of what happens when technical analysis stands in the way of a stampede of bulls.

yes here is an updated chart. I actually moved point 1 on this chart a little lower to where momentum actually started. This is a 45 min chart of ESZ08(24 hr sesh).

 

Total disclosure, I actually took a position on this one short on the close today. I had another signal anyway, but I think I will trade a portion of this according to the pattern.

 

I added the Andrews line because it seemed appropriate.

 

I like the WW target here because it has acted as a genuine support and resistance line on both sides.

 

I like how the WW target line also penetrates the pattern at the 50% mark of the pattern. There is of course another Andrews line that could originate from the #1 pt. which has an even more deep target.

 

I am still convinced the charts say we are in a range, a time when WW works well (as opposed to trend).

 

The classic descending triangle should be apparent to every one in this market.

 

This is not going to be an easy ride lower (I anticipate), since its not close enough to be a straight fall. However the R/R is about 5 to one right now.

 

I'm doing one contract down to that WW line (100pts). Its the most conservative line of the other andrews lines I see originating from that area. The rest of the position I'll take off around 850 if it gets that low.

 

There is a real possibility of testing recent Nov. lows... notice that price is failing to stay above pt. #3. Every one who was going to buy bought on that gap up - weak volume follow through..

 

Well see..

Best of luck on this trade WS. I'm thinking right now that we won't hit even the Andrews medianline, but that's what makes for two-sided trading, right? I have to admit that the WW and pitchfork really do look classic.

Patiently waiting for something to happen, another WW just formed as the top failed here...

I don't know why I am seeing WWs recently more. I still don't trust them too much, they have to be traded with some other method.

The steep pitchfork I had on that chart doesn't look so good anymore.

I still think this market is headed south.

    • Date: 11th July 2025.   Demand For Gold Rises As Trump Announces Tariffs!   Gold prices rose significantly throughout the week as investors took advantage of the 2.50% lower entry level. Investors also return to the safe-haven asset as the US trade policy continues to escalate. As a result, investors are taking a more dovish tone. The ‘risk-off’ appetite is also something which can be seen within the stock market. The NASDAQ on Thursday took a 0.90% dive within only 30 minutes.   Trade Tensions Escalate President Trump has been teasing with new tariffs throughout the week. However, the tariffs were confirmed on Thursday. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting August 1st, along with 50% tariffs on copper and goods from Brazil. Some experts are advising that Brazil has been specifically targeted due to its association with the BRICS.   However, the President has not directly associated the tariffs with BRICS yet. According to President Trump, Brazil is targeting US technology companies and carrying out a ‘witch hunt’against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a close ally who is currently facing prosecution for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2022 Brazilian election.   Although Brazil is one of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the Americas, it is not the main concern for investors. Investors are more concerned about Tariffs on Canada. The White House said it will impose a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, effective August 1st, raised from the earlier 25% rate. This covers most goods, with exceptions under USMCA and exemptions for Canadian companies producing within the US.   It is also vital for investors to note that Canada is among the US;’s top 3 trading partners. The increase was justified by Trump citing issues like the trade deficit, Canada’s handling of fentanyl trafficking, and perceived unfair trade practices.   The President is also threatening new measures against the EU. These moves caused US and European stock futures to fall nearly 1%, while the Dollar rose and commodity prices saw small gains. However, the main benefactor was Silver and Gold, which are the two best-performing metals of the day.   How Will The Fed Impact Gold? The FOMC indicated that the number of members warming up to the idea of interest rate cuts is increasing. If the Fed takes a dovish tone, the price of Gold may further rise. In the meantime, the President pushing for a 3% rate cut sparked talk of a more dovish Fed nominee next year and raised worries about future inflation.   Meanwhile, jobless claims dropped for the fourth straight week, coming in better than expected and supporting the view that the labour market remains strong after last week’s solid payroll report. Markets still expect two rate cuts this year, but rate futures show most investors see no change at the next Fed meeting. Gold is expected to finish the week mostly flat.       Gold 15-Minute Chart     If the price of Gold increases above $3,337.50, buy signals are likely to materialise again. However, the price is currently retracing, meaning traders are likely to wait for regained momentum before entering further buy trades. According to HSBC, they expect an average price of $3,215 in 2025 (up from $3,015) and $3,125 in 2026, with projections showing a volatile range between $3,100 and $3,600   Key Takeaway Points: Gold Rises on Safe-Haven Demand. Gold gained as investors reacted to rising trade tensions and market volatility. Canada Tariffs Spark Concern. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports drew attention due to Canada’s key trade role. Fed Dovish Shift Supports Gold. Growing expectations of rate cuts and Trump’s push for a 3% cut boosted the gold outlook. Gold Eyes Breakout Above $3,337.5. Price is consolidating; a move above $3,337.50 could trigger new buy signals. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.   Author: Chris Campbell (AltucherConfidential) Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
