learning wyckoff methods 2.0- the bearish cypher fail..there was a sharp retracing from the line of good demand
and close above another line shows SOS..
this bearish cypher most likely will fail to reverse the uptrend and it will test the line above...
i have a feeling this will even cross it, the advance has such a massive volume, if this big spread on the advance is reversed of then the demand is most likely to take the prices above 39 soon and then may be lose steam over there....
This is bulls a their prime...
the wckyoff channel oversold line was violated and there was sharp denial from the bulls, and the close of the candle was back in the channel... if this is not SOS what is then....
the cypher's take profit is -.618CD at 32, which is not happened i gues.. hence the fail... i doubt even if 0.5 can be crossed...
Harmonic Patterns
Commodities Needs a Healthy CorrectionNSE:CNXCOMMODITIES
Bullish divergence with macd will power up the price, but before that the harmonic impulse play will cause a correction as being expected, 3 levels of bounce based on the fibonacci supports have been selected... the target for all is initially the outer line of the pitchfork
And if beyond that then the resistance level
In between there is the pivot, i expect some volatility in the pivot region

Nifty: FIb Analysis -- Play with numbersI am not a bear..I don't want market to go down BUT it is what it is and we have to follow the trend AND the current trend is down..right? So whatever targets we project will be on the downside.
The 50% retracement has been an important reversal area in the past corrections.. see my older posts, so we can assume that it can act as a solid support in this downfall too. Not only that we have a number of other fib confluences near that level (see chart) so that could add some extra cushions to support the markets.
For investors and traders the value zone represented in the chart may be an important belt to pump money into the markets.
Hope this analysis would help investors and traders in prudent decision making.

Market cycle? Has the major correction started?!Details on the chart, it's very interesting.
Draw a triangle for the previous bull rally, copy & paste it on the current bull rally. It fits perfectly.
The previous bull rally from Feb 2014 to March 2015 took 393 days and NIFTY went up by 3185 points.
The recent bull rally from Dec 2016 to Jan 2018 took 399 days and NIFTY went up by 3277 points.
The correction after the previous bull rally took 362 days and NIFTY went down by 2293 points.
So based on the same logic, if the major correction has started, we should see NIFTY tat 9000 levels by Dec 2018?!
Just for study purpose!
Nifty: The Bat PatternHi All,
Let's quickly get to the charts.
I can observe a Bat pattern completed at 10180. This could be taken as a reversal trade setup with traditional targets at 10295, 10330 and 10365.
So If this setup works I would be passively bullish for the above conservative targets. Only on break and close above 10420 (on this chart), I may again play for 10600. Further targets can only be derived after looking at the price action above 10650 level.
What if 10140 is breached ( either after hitting above targets or otherwise). In that scenario, I will be bearish for 10000 psychological level target and the extended 9700-9750 target zone.
Hope this brief analysis will help some traders to plan their trades well.
Happy weekend and wish u all a more profitable week ahead.
Regards
THE HARMONIC PATTERNS SERIES I: THE BAT PATTERNThree things are very popular in TA: W and M shapes; Fibonacci levels; and Elliot Wave. And these three are the building blocks of Harmonic patterns.
It has been observed that the frequently occuring W and M patterns have fixed levels of retracements and projections for each leg. And it is those fixed levels which differentiate one pattern from the other. So the inventors have given different names to these patterns on the basis of the fib. levels and Elliot projections working inside a pattern.
I am starting this series from the BAT pattern and I 'll try to cover one pattern at the weekends.
BAT PATTERN
THE X-A LEG
Strong rejection from a support/resistance level (X) which takes the price to another important level of S/R level (A)
A-B LEG
Retracement of XA leg. Point B should retrace between 38.2% to 50 % of X-A
B-C LEG
Retracement of AB leg. Point C should retrace between 38.2% to 88.6% of A-B
C-D LEG
1) Retracement of XA leg. Point D should retrace 88.6% of X-A; and
2) Another condition is that point D should be between 1.618%-2.618% of B-C projection.
Pattern completes at point D so it is the most important point in the pattern. If all the above conditions are valid, a reversal is expected from this point.
# Normally a buy/sell order is placed at point D, expecting some sort of reversal, and targets are placed at 38.2% and 61.8% of A-X.
# A complete reversal should not be expected at point D in any harmonic pattern. Only the price action and other confirmations can tell us if the overall trend has reversed of not.
TRADINGVIEW TOOL:
Luckily we dun have to draw each and every leg of the pattern by pulling our fib. tool each time. TV has a great tool which can be used to draw these patterns easily.

The Perfect Bullish Bat Below 10094Hi fellows, hope you are doing great with your trading. I wish you all the best for the coming week.
In my previous post I shared my observations with the expectations that the index will achieve higher levels in the coming days. Unfortunately, I had to take trades in the reverse direction, later in the week, in order to mitigate my losses. It is all part of trading and I need to be flexible in this profession. The stubborn will be blown away by the winds, but only the flexible will survive the storms.
Current observations: Below the level 10094, I would assume that it is a bullish BAT pattern which is under formation. I called it a PERFECT BAT because the B leg retraced exactly 0.5 of A leg; also the B-C projection at D comes out to be exactly 2 times; and the A-B-C extension at D is exactly 1.618 as a complemetary confluence. These are all traits of a perfect BATpattern.
For me the BAT would be in action below 10094. A conservative approach would be to wait till 10013 where AB=CD completes and also 10000 could also act as a psychological support. But break of 10K would trigger stops for long traders and may attract new shorts. So I would call 10000-10094 as the key level to watch out for the next week.
The PRZ for the BAT falls at 9780, I would call 9780-9687 as a strong support zone below the 10K mark. If this support zone holds, a bounce of the order of 38.2% to 61.8% can be seen ( which would be 10020 to 100169 resp.) The question of complete reversal from this zone should be left unanswered as of now.
Other Possibilities: It is possible that the 10094 holds and market rebounds from there. In that case, I would like to see the index above the red downtrend line in order to be bullish. It is also possible that the market consolidated between the red trendline and 10094 before giving any decisive move.
Cycle study: Market reacted before its 25 day uptrend cycle, so I expect some sort of reversal at the end of this cycle. But this time it could be an upward reversal. I ll have reassess the situation at the cycle completion.
So, my post has short term bearish undertones, with the expectations of intermittent bounces in the market. For long term I am still bullish but I need specific levels for that.
With a regret that I am not able to update during the week, I hope you guys will find this post useful and take your trading decisions with care.

Hero Moto: Weeky, Facing resistance near D zone of AB=CD patternNSE:HEROMOTOCO Weekly Chart: Hero just tested the 'D' level of AB=CD pattern (= 4100 zone) & facing resistance. Stock likely to test 0.618 of Fibo = 3236 level (Marked with white arrow). Bias remains bearish, But not safe to short as Risk Reward Ratio is not good here.
THE CYPHER PATTERNThis pattern is different. As we observed in the previously discussed patterns, the C point never extended beyond point A. But this pattern is formed when C point extends beyond A.
Rules:
1. X-A: A strong leg which ends at an important Support/Resistance level.
2. A-B: Point B should be between 38.2 to 61.8% of X-A leg
3. B-C: The leg which makes this pattern unique. Point C should be between 1.272 to 1.414 of A-X projection. Some authors also take 1.13
to 1.414 as reference points here. I personally favor the latter but the former is the most agreed levels of projection.
4. C-D: Point D should be 78.6% of ' X-C' leg.
Pattern completes at point D so it is the most important point in the pattern. If all the above conditions are valid, a reversal is expected from this point.
# In Bullish harmonic patterns an upward reversal is expected at point D, whereas in Bearish patterns a downward reversal is expected at point
D.
# Normally a buy/sell order is placed at point D, expecting some sort of reversal; and targets are placed at 38.2% and 61.8% of C-D retracement.
# A complete reversal should not be expected at point D in any harmonic pattern . Only the further price can provide confirmations about trend
reversal.

THE BUTTERFLY PATTERNFor a brief overview about harmonic pattern fundamentals, first go to the Post 1 of this series (link will be soon in the update section).
THE BUTTERFLY PATTERN
The pattern is recognized by the exclusive 78.6% of XA retracement at point B; and the 1.27 XA projection at point D.
X-A: A strong leg which ends at an important Support/Resistance level.
A-B: Should retrace precisely 78.6% of X-A.
B-C: Should retrace between 38.2 to 88.6 % of A-B. This leg should not extend beyond point A.
C-D: The most important leg to confirm the butterfly pattern . C-D should extend 127% of X-A and not more than that.
C-D=A-B or C-D=1.27 A-B : Another important confirmation, C-D leg should complete between 1 to 1.27 times A-B
B-C Projection: Point D should be at 1.618 to 2.24 B-C projection.
Pattern completes at point D so it is the most important point in the pattern. If all the above conditions are valid, a reversal is expected from this point.
# In Bullish harmonic patterns an upward reversal is expected at point D, whereas in Bearish patterns a downward reversal is expected at point
D.
# Normally a buy/sell order is placed at point D, expecting some sort of reversal, and targets are placed at 38.2% and 61.8% of A-X.
# A complete reversal should not be expected at point D in any harmonic pattern . Only the further price can provide confirmations about trend
reversal.

Pattern Series 6 - Bearish Gartley Pattern!I thought these cypher, Gartley patterns are tough until I learnt it is based on fibonacci ratios. Draw fibonacci levels from X to A. Point B should not close above 0.618 fib level. The point C should form between A and B. Point D should not close above 0.786. Now lets see how to trade this Gartley pattern. Sell at 0.786 with the stoploss of few points above it. Your risk should be minimum and it should not exceed risk : reward ratio of 1 : 1. Targets are 0.5, 0.38 and 0.236 fib levels. People who love fibonacci ratios, dont miss Gartley pattern trades!
THE HARMONIC PATTERNS SERIES: III THE CRAB PATTERNHi,
I am back with one more harmonic Pattern -- The CRAB
For a brief overview about harmonic pattern fundamentals, first go to the Post One of this series (link will be soon in the update section).
CRAB PATTERN
In the BAT and the Gartley the price action in the last leg did not stretch beyond the Point X but In this pattern last leg stretches beyond X. In this case it is the B-C projection which may sometimes (when D extends beyond 2.618 B-C) help in identifying the Pattern in advance.
X-A: A strong leg which ends at an important Support/Resistance level.
A-B: Should retrace between 38.2 to 61.8% of X-A.
B-C: Should retrace between 38.2 to 88.6 % of A-B. This leg should not extend beyond point A.
C-D: The most important leg to confirm the Crab pattern . C-D should retrace 161.8% of X-A and not more than that.
C-D=1.27 to 1.618 AB: Second important confirmation, C-D leg should complete between 1.27 to 1.618 times A-B
B-C Projection: Point D should be between 2.618 to 3.618 B-C projection. You can notice the difference between Bat, Gartley and Crab B-C projections.
Pattern completes at point D so it is the most important point in the pattern. If all the above conditions are valid, a reversal is expected from this point.
# In Bullish harmonic patterns an upward reversal is expected at point D, whereas in Bearish patterns a downward reversal is expected at point
D.
# Normally a buy/sell order is placed at point D, expecting some sort of reversal, and targets are placed at 38.2% and 61.8% of A-X.
# A complete reversal should not be expected at point D in any harmonic pattern . Only the further price can provide confirmations about trend reversal.

The Harmonic Pattern Series: II The Gartley PatternHi,
I am back with one more harmonic Pattern -- The Gartley
For a brief overview about harmonic pattern fundamentals, first go to the link in the update section.
GARTLEY PATTERN
X-A: A strong leg which ends at an important Support/Resistance level.
A-B: The most important leg to recognize this pattern. Should retrace exactly 61.8% of X-A.
B-C: Should retrace between 38.2 to 88.6 % of A-B. This leg should not extend beyond point A.
C-D: Second most important leg to confirm the Gartley pattern. C-D should not retrace more than 78.6 % of X-A.
A-B=C-D: Another important pattern inside the Gartley is that A-B leg should be equal to C-D. The presence of this pattern provide
complementary confirmation for potential reversal at point D.
B-C Projection: Point D should be between 1.13 to 1.618 B-C projection.
Pattern completes at point D so it is the most important point in the pattern. If all the above conditions are valid, a reversal is expected from this point.
# In Bullish harmonic patterns an upward reversal is expected at point D, whereas in Bearish patterns a downward reversal is expected at point
D.
# Normally a buy/sell order is placed at point D, expecting some sort of reversal, and targets are placed at 38.2% and 61.8% of A-X.
# A complete reversal should not be expected at point D in any harmonic pattern . Only the future price action can provide confirmations about trend reversal.
For those who do not about the harmonic pattern tool, It is the XABCD tool (just below the text tool) provided in the side tool bar on the chart page.
