The last hint from me for today. What must come after point three? Dominance or non dominance?

 

Dominance, but both cases seem to have dominance after serving as a Pt3 of some kind? I'm not sure what to identify further because I'm not sure what's being discerned as being important vs not very important for those two locations.

 

Is the distinction that "peak volume" can only occur after Pt3 and only one of the two bars you pointed out is a Pt3? One is a FTT and one is a Pt3?

Look closely at the closes of the bars after the first bar in question. Where do you see dominance there? The second bar in question is an IBGS. What does IBGS on increasing volume signifies? Start looking at a chart. Both of the bars are point threes. The second one is a point three of an accelerated traverse. Why did the market told me to annotate one?

Lets point out the similarities first. To what extent are they similar?

The bar immediately after the 1st one you pointed to is dominant up and its close is above its open and has incr vol.

 

The bar immediately after the 2nd one you pointed to starts out nondom but due to the existing fast RTL it doesn't make its own container, and it closes above its open on incr vol. It changed modes from nondom to dom as it unfolded.

 

Your medium green container accelerates due to a VE ITZ on incr vol, which means rebuild it, but the rebuilt thing doesn't FTT at the tape nor traverse fractal. Looks like it could though from the channel perspective.

The bar is black the volume is increasing. How should the black volume move price in an up trend were it dominant? Up or laterally? What happens with the price on the bar after the first bar in question. Look at the following bars. Can't you SEE increasing black volume struggling to push the price higher. Look at the volume levels and corresponding price changes.

 

HTH.

 

BTW by the signal of change you should take into account a gap here. Besides, the bar is a spike bar.

Yep I can see it, but in each case the close is still higher than its open. It gave a hint that price may stall as incr dom vol wasn't pushing up much as we might expect it would. But, the move continued with a HH and close above the open for each bar until eventually we got a completed cycle up w/out a FTT at the first two fractal speeds. Then a more noticeable move down occurred. It happens a lot, and in other cases we may have gotten another dom black vol surge and moved even higher instead.

So what? We are moving up. BUT dominantly?

 

As far as other cases are concerned show me the fully and thoroughly annotated snippet and we will discuss it.

So where is the problem? I do not understand... In this case you would still be holding and banking in profits till change arrives... From what I can see, I guess you are in a prediction trap.

I didn't reference a problem. You were indicating price having difficulty moving up on incr vol, although it still did continue. Incr vol with a close within the prior bar's range is somewhat of a signal for change... yet, that dynamic failed 2 or 3 times & new highs were made subsequently. I'm not sure what you're getting at or explaining/highlighting as far as what's notable in the areas you've pointed out. I'm game for discussing it though & am glad someone posted a chart here & prompted some thought.

 

Were you pointing out that we had a hint of a SOC but that we still made higher highs & closed above each bar's open? If so, I concur. If not, I'm not sure what to see specifically.

 

Yes, if we're in a dom up thing, then the price did move "dominantly" if the bars translated (up, which they did) and closed higher than their opens. We did have a SOC via incr vol with a close within the previous bar's range... but, that did not get traction & it didn't reverse.

Hey Gucci, are you pointing out that despite some challenge in moving up, we were still intact to hold a trade until the 2nd instance of peak volume which signals a potential ending and signal for change?

Yes. Please reiterate the sequences here. How do they sound? How do they look like with respect to the gaussians? The complete set. Just do it.

Enjoy. Try to add missing gaussians on the faster fractals. The sequences are always complete...

We do not have "2nd instance of peak volume" as you put it. But we do have increasing volume which fails to propell price higher in your so to be called " first instance". Think about it. Good observation by the way. You are on your way.

Thanks. Regarding that first area... the first 4 black bars with the 1st one being pointed to by your arrow, when you say 'failing to propel the price higher on incr vol', you can't mean a bar closing below the bar prior to it, because they all close higher than the previous bar. And the bars all make a higher high. But two of the closes were only about a tick or so above its open and they also close within the range of the previous bar.

 

The 2nd bar you're pointing to is an IBGS long and fails to propel the price higher than the previous bar, although the ibgs aspect has changed its mode to up/dom.

 

Neither series of bars FTT the green container. But we do get an ITZ in the 2nd series of bars & can rebuild the container from your first arrow. I'm not sure what we're getting at though... I'm probably missing the point you're making. Can you keep clueing? :)

Faster fractal traverse down to 15:15. I did not annotate all the sub-fractals but you can clearly see them.

 

You might rethink the "faster" part.

Gucci, based on your comment, does this mean you see a set of 3 simple 123ftt containers as a Traverse, as long as a volume cycle is present?

No. You should see three so called free tapes. Think in terms of inside vs outside. Use the logic here. Why do we have laterals? What the f.. does it mean that we have a lateral? WHAT happens INSIDE of a lateral????????? WHY did Spyder tell you to STOP annotate the tapes INSIDE of a lateral???????????????????:

Thanks for the dialog, this thread needs more of it :) I think you're assuming confusion that might not exist. I'm just trying to discern what YOUR usage of the method entails. Based on your yelling (haha), you're using 3 123ftt contains as a Tape, correct? That's why I asked, I thought you responded to xxioxx where that meant Traverse to you. But I wasn't sure if that's what you meant.

 

But your 1st Tape down looks like only 1 container? I'm talking about your most recent chart. What is a "free tape"?

 

Lats are sideways movement, consolidation, often take is to Pt3 of something.

I was thinking the same thing. I was trying to find out what your definition of a tape or traverse is, as far as containers go, and you start exclaiming about laterals.

 

There are varying interpretations floating around for how to differentiate the components of such fractals. What is a tape, to you?

    • Date: 18th April 2024. Market News – Stock markets benefit from Dollar correction. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Technical buying, bargain hunting, and risk aversion helped Treasuries rally and unwind recent losses. Yields dropped from the recent 2024 highs. Asian stock markets strengthened, as the US Dollar corrected in the wake of comments from Japan’s currency chief Masato Kanda, who said G7 countries continue to stress that excessive swings and disorderly moves in the foreign exchange market were harmful for economies. US Stockpiles expanded to 10-month high. The data overshadowed the impact of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East as traders await Israel’s response to Iran’s unprecedented recent attack. President Joe Biden called for higher tariffs on imports of Chinese steel and aluminum.   Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex stumbled, falling to 105.66 at the end of the day from the intraday high of 106.48. It lost ground against most of its G10 peers. There wasn’t much on the calendar to provide new direction. USDJPY lows retesting the 154 bottom! NOT an intervention yet. BoJ/MoF USDJPY intervention happens when there is more than 100+ pip move in seconds, not 50 pips. USOIL slumped by 3% near $82, as US crude inventories rose by 2.7 million barrels last week, hitting the highest level since last June, while gauges of fuel demand declined. Gold strengthened as the dollar weakened and bullion is trading at $2378.44 per ounce. Market Trends:   Wall Street closed in the red after opening with small corrective gains. The NASDAQ underperformed, slumping -1.15%, with the S&P500 -0.58% lower, while the Dow lost -0.12. The Nikkei closed 0.2% higher, the Hang Seng gained more than 1. European and US futures are finding buyers. A gauge of global chip stocks and AI bellwether Nvidia Corp. have both fallen into a technical correction. The TMSC reported its first profit rise in a year, after strong AI demand revived growth at the world’s biggest contract chipmaker. The main chipmaker to Apple Inc. and Nvidia Corp. recorded a 9% rise in net income, beating estimates. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • Date: 17th April 2024. Market News – Appetite for risk-taking remains weak. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Stocks, Treasury yields and US Dollar stay firmed. Fed Chair Powell added to the recent sell off. His slightly more hawkish tone further priced out chances for any imminent action and the timing of a cut was pushed out further. He suggested if higher inflation does persist, the Fed will hold rates steady “for as long as needed.” Implied Fed Fund: There remains no real chance for a move on May 1 and at their intraday highs the June implied funds rate future showed only 5 bps, while July reflected only 10 bps. And a full 25 bps was not priced in until November, with 38 bps in cuts seen for 2024. US & EU Economies Diverging: Lagarde says ECB is moving toward rate cuts – if there are no major shocks. UK March CPI inflation falls less than expected. Output price inflation has started to nudge higher, despite another decline in input prices. Together with yesterday’s higher than expected wage numbers, the data will add to the arguments of the hawks at the BoE, which remain very reluctant to contemplate rate cuts. Canada CPI rose 0.6% in March, double the 0.3% February increase BUT core eased. The doors are still open for a possible cut at the next BoC meeting on June 5. IMF revised up its global growth forecast for 2024 with inflation easing, in its new World Economic Outlook. This is consistent with a global soft landing, according to the report. Financial Markets Performance:   USDJPY also inched up to 154.67 on expectations the BoJ will remain accommodative and as the market challenges a perceived 155 red line for MoF intervention. USOIL prices slipped -0.15% to $84.20 per barrel. Gold rose 0.24% to $2389.11 per ounce, a new record closing high as geopolitical risks overshadowed the impacts of rising rates and the stronger dollar. Market Trends:   Wall Street waffled either side of unchanged on the day amid dimming rate cut potential, rising yields, and earnings. The major indexes closed mixed with the Dow up 0.17%, while the S&P500 and NASDAQ lost -0.21% and -0.12%, respectively. Asian stock markets mostly corrected again, with Japanese bourses underperforming and the Nikkei down -1.3%. Mainland China bourses were a notable exception and the CSI 300 rallied 1.4%, but the MSCI Asia Pacific index came close to erasing the gains for this year. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • Date: 16th April 2024. Market News – Stocks and currencies sell off; USD up. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Stocks and currencies sell off, while the US Dollar picks up haven flows. Treasuries yields spiked again to fresh 2024 peaks before paring losses into the close, post, the stronger than expected retail sales eliciting a broad sell off in the markets. Rates surged as the data pushed rate cut bets further into the future with July now less than a 50-50 chance. Wall Street finished with steep declines led by tech. Stocks opened in the green on a relief trade after Israel repulsed the well advertised attack from Iran on Sunday. But equities turned sharply lower and extended last week’s declines amid the rise in yields. Investor concerns were intensified as Israel threatened retaliation. There’s growing anxiety over earnings even after a big beat from Goldman Sachs. UK labor market data was mixed, as the ILO unemployment rate unexpectedly lifted, while wage growth came in higher than anticipated – The data suggests that the labor market is catching up with the recession. Mixed messages then for the BoE. China grew by 5.3% in Q1 however the numbers are causing a lot of doubts over sustainability of this growth. The bounce came in the first 2 months of the year. In March, growth in retail sales slumped and industrial output decelerated below forecasts, suggesting challenges on the horizon. Today: Germany ZEW, US housing starts & industrial production, Fed Vice Chair Philip Jefferson speech, BOE Bailey speech & IMF outlook. Earnings releases: Morgan Stanley and Bank of America. Financial Markets Performance:   The US Dollar rallied to 106.19 after testing 106.25, gaining against JPY and rising to 154.23, despite intervention risk. Yen traders started to see the 160 mark as the next Resistance level. Gold surged 1.76% to $2386 per ounce amid geopolitical risks and Chinese buying, even as the USD firmed and yields climbed. USOIL is flat at $85 per barrel. Market Trends:   Breaks of key technical levels exacerbated the sell off. Tech was the big loser with the NASDAQ plunging -1.79% to 15,885 while the S&P500 dropped -1.20% to 5061, with the Dow sliding -0.65% to 37,735. The S&P had the biggest 2-day sell off since March 2023. Nikkei and ASX lost -1.9% and -1.8% respectively, and the Hang Seng is down -2.1%. European bourses are down more than -1% and US futures are also in the red. CTA selling tsunami: “Just a few points lower CTAs will for the first time this year start selling in size, to add insult to injury, we are breaking major trend-lines in equities and the gamma stabilizer is totally gone.” Short term CTA threshold levels are kicking in big time according to GS. Medium term is 4873 (most important) while the long term level is at 4605. Always trade with strict risk management. Your capital is the single most important aspect of your trading business.

    • Date: 15th April 2024. Market News – Negative Reversion; Safe Havens Rally. Trading Leveraged Products is risky Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Markets weigh risk of retaliation cycle in Middle East. Initially the retaliatory strike from Iran on Israel fostered a haven bid, into bonds, gold and other haven assets, as it threatens a wider regional conflict. However, this morning, Oil and Asian equity markets were muted as traders shrugged off fears of a war escalation in the Middle East. Iran said “the matter can be deemed concluded”, and President Joe Biden has called on Israel to exercise restraint following Iran’s drone and missile strike, as part of Washington’s efforts to ease tensions in the Middle East and minimize the likelihood of a widespread regional conflict. New US and UK sanctions banned deliveries of Russian supplies, i.e. key industrial metals, produced after midnight on Friday. Aluminum jumped 9.4%, nickel rose 8.8%, suggesting brokers are bracing for major supply chain disruption. Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex fell back from highs over 106 to currently 105.70. The Yen dip against USD to 153.85. USOIL settled lower at 84.50 per barrel and Gold is trading below session highs at currently $2357.92 per ounce. Copper, more liquid and driven by the global economy over recent weeks, was more subdued this morning. Currently at $4.3180. Market Trends:   Asian stock markets traded mixed, but European and US futures are slightly higher after a tough session on Friday and yields have picked up. Mainland China bourses outperformed overnight, after Beijing offered renewed regulatory support. The PBOC meanwhile left the 1-year MLF rate unchanged, while once again draining funds from the system. Nikkei slipped 1% to 39,114.19. On Friday, NASDAQ slumped -1.62% to 16,175, unwinding most of Thursday’s 1.68% jump to a new all-time high at 16,442. The S&P500 fell -1.46% and the Dow dropped 1.24%. Declines were broadbased with all 11 sectors of the S&P finishing in the red. JPMorgan Chase sank 6.5% despite reporting stronger profit in Q1. The nation’s largest bank gave a forecast for a key source of income this year that fell below Wall Street’s estimate, calling for only modest growth. Apple shipments drop by 10% in Q1.
