the interesting thing is ... people look at these as a sell signal at highs.

 

but once the downside target is reached.... it is often a massive buy signal ... for continuation of the larger time frame trend

 

except that one has to account for the time required for the pros to accumulate again

 

 

yes that is a good one, sugar - almost picture perfect

If your price zone is in the area of 24-25 for this example and this is a true up market, I would expect serious price rejection back into an upward and fast market; not much time for pros to accumulate under these circumstances.

If, on the other hand, the market does not reject price at the wave's #5 point, ie 24-25 region, and price is accepted, I would expect this market to continue on down for some time...

 

This, my friends, is just how the markets work.

I've been riding the nasdaq for this one... almost complete now.

 

If you read my early posts I like to have the 1 point starting at a 50% point of a move (not always though). This works best when there is high volatility

that is not a wolfe wave

 

your point 1 should be outside action ... a new high ... not inside action

 

however it looks fine on the russell index

 

 

however on the russell ... the dowside target has already been hit

Can't believe how many times this argument has come up in this thread (which I started years ago). It goes to show how much of an art it is identifying this pattern.

 

Directly from the WW site here is a picture. Tell me if you think his example of point 1 is outside or inside price action elovemer, or does Bill Wolfe have the pattern wrong? If you have the manual you see plenty examples of the #1 point normally within price action.

 

I identify #1 usually at the 50% area of a previous wave because this is where the wave is inverting as volatility enters the market.

 

Point #2 is the point that needs to stick out of price action for a purpose - it is there to draw in the suckers who will be exiting on the 4-5 move. Once you understand this simple concept you begin to see the psychology of the pattern.

 

It actually doesn't matter where point 1 is, as long as there are sufficient suckers acting on point #2.

ok.

according to your spy pattern, the target is almost hit.

 

as for myself, i rate outside action as being more reliable than inside action

... no matter what the pattern

Dear waveslider,

I have just discovered this thread.

I dont trade patterns, but I find your thread very interesting, and I will start reading from the beginning.And you have been patiently explaining all this for 4 years!!

Kind regards

Bob-

If you would like to discuss more you can PM me.

I trade mechanical systems, but on a morning like today when my systems were telling me that a range day was expected, and I see a WW pattern set up, I will add a few for my personal account. They worked well this morning, but they don't always.

Most important in any situation is risk control, WW is no different. When it works it's beautiful, and it has been working a lot recently. (In the S&P - that's all I trade).

 

best..

Dear Waveslider

I finally found a valid wolfewave (I think)

But it looked like it could go both ways

1,2,3,4 or 7,1,2,3

I went short and made plenty

But I left some on the table .

The price hit the target and bounced back quit violently

Thank you

bobc

Not an ideal pattern, but I would have but the 1 where you have a 2. Bearish pattern.

 

Dear waveslider

YES ,that makes more sense. Is there a rule to help in the position of "1" ?

Still a bit confused

Kind regards

best way is to look for #2 point first. Look for a #2 that creates emotion, activates stops by hitting levels that haven't been hit for a while. Then track price action when that move fails.

Actually I very rarely trade them straight out, but I am aware of them as I know others are watching. Sometimes their failure creates an even better trade!

Love the mystery of market geometry though.

Dear waveslider

You answered my next question before it was asked

Point 2 must be a recent high. Now I can see why the pattern is weak!!And there are four points at the top. I was lucky. I actually traded a failed wolfe wave.

Now you mentioned trading a failed wolfewave.

Please have a another look at my chart.

Going long would not have reached the target. It failed

But it will have to retrace some before you decide it has failed

How would you decide that?

Kind regards

bobc

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
