SPY Hits Multi-year Andrew's Pitchfork Target

Recommended Posts

It's just about there. This is a MONTHLY chart.

 

I'm not calling a bottom here, in fact it could bounce around this area for quite some time.

 

Then again it could hammer out of here.

 

Tough market, I can't bear to hold a short overnight. Longs all fail. Its intraday and that's it

Criminy, Waveslider, that's about as clean a pitchfork as you could hope to find. If it don't bouce here, I'm calling Tim Morge!

Remember that Tim says of the mid line --- 80% chance of reaching it. Its not really a bounce target ... just as likely to slide down it for a bit and maybe continue. Although things are feeling pretty extended today.

 

Aussie AORD closed the day at -7.14% and the week at -14.2%

Thanks for the reminder, Kiwi. Putting on my thinking cap (fuzzy and mouse-infested from disuse) I seem to recall now that Morge, Andrews et al only give one percentage that they call reliable, and that's the 80% rule that you mentioned.

 

After price has hit that medianline, it's anybody's damn guess as to where price will go. It may bounce, or it may zoom through. If it does bouce off the medianline, however, there is a reasonable chance (no percentage given that I recall) that price will hit the upper parallel from whence it came.

 

By contrast, if price zooms through the medianline, it's expected (with some probability) to reach the further sliding parallel.We'd better hope that doesn't happen this time!

I think Andrew said there is a 80% chance of reaching the median line, if I remember correctly. But Tim did say that a Median Line of a positive slope has a much better chance of stopping downward movement than one with a negative slope.

I hope it dosen't develop into a 'zoom and retest'. Also while it looks clean it is a completely unproven fork, the 3 anchor points are the only place so far there has been any interaction. Final thing (and one of the intricacies of pitchforks) is that there may be an argument to slightly shift the 2nd point a couple of bars either way as there where a few tails own there of course that will slightly change the slope.

 

It will be intesting to see how things develop (over the months!!!) :)

Blowfish's point is very valid that this is an unproven fork. Still, it is what it is - mechanically this is the target for the move. Sliding along lower is common, and the forks can become a trend channel - all valid points.

 

I really hate trying to call bottoms, but here is another interesting chart using gap analysis.

 

The gap at the 50% mark created the target of the current low in place. I think its likely that this is a short term low. Not to say it won't be lower in a month.

Some months have passed and Waveslider's pitchfork did stop the downmove (at least for now). But the Schiff version of the pitchfork did an even better job, and if I remember correctly this is precisely what Mr Schiff designed it for. He wanted an instrument that would tell him when a parabolic move was going to be over (this is in one of Tim's videos).

spqr25- nice analysis.

The Schiff lines also indicate the likelihood of a range and a "make or break " area in the markets.

A fabulous pitchfork that parallels this down move is the up move in the US dollar (dollar and US markets are often inversely correlated, for those that haven't observed that).

Pull up a monthly chart of the USDCAD and look at the same fork upside down!

I watch the dollar vs the markets down to a five minute time frame - it's very informative.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
