Hmmm.... what do you do when price precisely matche the S/R level?...

 

Stopped for -12 and reversed long GJ @ 195.78

 

You pick one based on the overall trend / gut / trendline / coin toss and accept in these circumstances, you just can't win em all!

Right now I have finished ruining my good reputation in T2W as hedgehogs and banana fiends, back to business.........

 

Who would have thought a break would have dropped so easily... Once upon a time I would have shorted this, added and added then given it all back when it retraced sharp and hard!

 

As it is...... could this level be a bottom for some bounces now?

nice ;)

 

 

makes me feel better anyhow....... thought we'd never bounce!

 

I wouldn't actually call that much of a bounce...

If I were a buyer around those levels, I'd get out by the first sign of trouble!

I'll bet he reversed (short) up around 195.10 after it failed to run higher. But he may be holding, hoping price will attack the 195.75 level before reversing.

 

SOMETIME, I expect that gap to be filled. But I'd like to see price attempt to break 193.20 first (near the low of March). But it wouldn't surprise me at all to see price run up and tag 197.70 before retreating back down - just to give the lazy holidaying U.S. folks an entry. ;)

I believe in that chart I posted on T2W as it goes FW. The rejection at 195.60 was fast BUT, we have had a higher low now and I think we will be pushing back up again first.

fwiw, I think 190 is next before we see anything of a bounce that's worth buying.

I hope you're wrong, firewalker!

 

193.18/192.50 has been a strong buying zone all the way back to 2005. We shall see. This sucker seems to be in the mood for breaking strong support levels. You may well be right.

 

EDIT: The drop seems too swift. I often see these strong sudden down moves to mark big reversals. Again, we shall see...

Three reasons - and all potentially wrong:

 

1. The move down seems too strong and rapid - you see these moves during reversals. But catching that falling knife can be wickedly difficult and dangerous, I admit.

 

2. That 193.18 to 192.50 zone has been an area of strong buying interest in the past. I'm gambling on the thought that it may bounce here.

 

3. The move has happened so quickly after the close of the daily candle (and a 4-hour bar - at least, on my charts) that it stands to reason it would form a quick tail wick before reversing back up to close the day as a hammer. This is precisely the type of price action I would look for on a larger daily-time-scale reversal.

 

So I'm betting this is a reversal, but I could easily get taken out if I haven't timed this right. I hate catching these types of falling knives, but the risk to reward seems... attractive.

Actually, it's proven as fairly reliable support all the way back to April 2004, with only a few excursions on the daily below it.

I'm with you there, with the touch of that low at 193, I thin we have now seen the bottom.

 

I'm just kicking myself as I actually deleted a vital line that would have had me in short for that but instead just scalped 80 and 30 on the down then up move.

 

Flat atm and waiting for a retest at 93 or new candle back above 94.

 

I just want a bottom so we get some intraday/week swings like prior to the drop.... I make more money of them!

That's what I would like to see as well.

 

Anyone want a dead dog? (just kidding...). I'm ok with it... I'll also look for a retest of 193... I have my support line at 193.18, but would prefer a drop just below there to enter. I'd like my stop ideally to be below 192.50 - just in case this thing has the legs to retest the lows.

I'm still long.

 

Kicking myself that I wasn't awake to take the bounces off of S/R from 194.25 to 193.18... THAT would have been nice (did you manage to do that?). But I only looked every 4-hours and each time I looked it was hugging 193.18/60 and the candles still looked bullish to me. So I held - and thus far, I'm glad I have.

 

It's now cleared and closed above 194.25 support at that last 4-hour close, so I'm still holding this long position. We'll see what happens near 195.08. I'd like to see this ride up to 197.70 and close that gap, but it'll probably zig-zag between 195.08 or 195.75 and 194.25 before that happens. So maybe I'll ride it up and down a bit, as you like to do.

 

Wait and see what price tells me.

 

You've probably made a nice profit today, huh Wasp?

Good going cowpip!! Excellent call about that 192...

 

Thanks firewalker. I appreciate that. Now if I could just get consistent in this strat like Wasp does... it's helping not looking at the charts. No fiddling.

    • Date: 3rd June 2024. OPEC+ Announces Gradually Higher Supply and NVIDIA a New Accelerator.     Oil declines as the European Cash Open edges closer. Oil prices have fallen for 4 consecutive days measuring almost 4.00%. OPEC+ members advise the group will have the option to not continue voluntary cuts from September onwards. All US and global indices start Monday’s trading higher after a poor end to May 2024. The bullish price gap illustrates a potential “risk-on” market. NVIDIA announces its next generation of accelerator chips and promises annual upgrades. NVIDIA stocks are already trading 0.55% higher in pre-trading hours. USOil (Crude Oil) – Voluntary Cuts May Gradually Fade! The price of Crude Oil fell almost 4.00% in the last 3 days of last week due to the OPEC+ meeting. The meeting is now at an end and journalists are pointing out 2 key points. The first, is that the OPEC+ group will keep limitations on production as it has since COVID-19. The second, is that countries which have voluntarily added additional cuts will have the option to reduce these cuts from September onwards. According to analysts, the market should not necessarily “overreact”, because if OPEC+ increases supply, it will only be gradual. Additionally, analysts also advise the group will only look to re-introduce production if the market conditions allow it to. Nonetheless, traditionally, additional supply is known by analysts to apply downward pressure on commodities. This is something which can also be seen over the past week, but investors will be keen to see the price drop below the support level.   The support level has been a key psychological level for investors throughout the month of May, specifically on 3 occasions. The price is currently trading below the 50.00 on the RSI and below most longer-term Moving Averages. If the price declines below the 65.00 Fibonacci level at $76.70 per Barrel, momentum will signal possible further decline. USA100 – NVIDIA Announces a New Accelerator Chip! The NASDAQ struggled within the previous week and at one point was down more than 3.00%. However, a large surge of buyers towards the end of Friday’s session saw a strong rebound and the index also trades higher during today’s Asian session. The NASDAQ is currently being influenced by 3 factors. However, investors will also give importance to the pricing of rate adjustments after the US employment data. The first factor prompting investors to increase tech-stock exposure is NVIDIA. The CEO of the company has again advised the technology and AI market will continue to grow and become more aggressive. In addition to this, Mr Huang advised NVIDIA is releasing a new accelerator chip and promises more within the upcoming year. A second positive factor for not only the NASDAQ, but global indices, is most analysts believe the European Central Bank will lower interest rates for the first time in the current cycle. If more global banks decide to reduce the restrictiveness of their monetary policy, stocks will become more attractive. However, only if the move is not a response to potential economic contraction. Lastly investors are also taking advantage of the lower entry point and feel an improved sentiment as Oil prices are declining. Investors hope lower oil prices will apply less upward pressure on inflation.   If the price rises above $18,638.83 the price will form a bullish breakout pattern which indicates upward movement. However, for a stronger and longer-term bullish trend, investors will be keen for the price to increase above the 75-Bar EMA and 100-Bar SMA. These two moving averages are currently priced at $18,658.28 and $18,733.30. Always trade with strict risk management. Your capital is the single most important aspect of your trading business.
