IWM wolfe wave

Just an observation for the potential bullish wolfe wave in IWM

the Obvious

SPY broke down from an ascending wedgeThere's a clear range of where the buyers and sellers are lined up
and there's a clear consolidation pattern developing that can resolve quickly (and should resolve quickly and with volatility, as one side will have to cover).A slightly bigger picture shows the "Death Cross" setup. When a moving average cross happens, typically the first trade in the direction of the crossover is to fade the price pullback. In this case, the 50-MA crossed under the 200-day, price pulled back to the 200-MA then continued to sell-off. It's sketchy down below from here because of the double-bottom potential.Then, on the weekly, there's this Bullish Wolfe Wave setup taking shape...

Momentum Buy Divergence

Signaled across the board today, was a momentum buy divergence on the 3/10 oscillator (daily chart). A handy dandy indicator to use when price is cycling, as it is now (as opposed to trending, and has been ever since the flash-crash).

The biggest problem at this point is the overhead resistance (a.k.a. SUPPLY). One can't expect a "Death Cross" to mean an immediate rejection of price. There are bound to be some short-covering, dip-buying rallies.Essentially, what it all boils down to is that the coming bounce should determine whether we probe lower (for a lot of, so far, untested price levels below), or higher (within the range we currently find ourselves in, up to around $113). It is critical, because "pace" (the bounces off of support we have experienced) is quickly fading.
Just as an aside, here's a good example of why the 3/10 oscillator isn't ideal in a trending market. Unless of course you use the signals as a contrary indicator.

short setup

V looks to be setting up on the short side as it flags at support. On previous tests of $70 price has bounced, here it seems as though buyers are disinterested in this price.

bull wolfe wave

Potential SPY bullish Wolfe Wave setting up on the daily chart. Looking for decent volume.

USO pitchfork

Had some key Median Line setups these past few cycles in USO.
After two tests of the Mid-line, price returned to and broke down from the Lower Median Line.
The first congestion zone was right around the "Trigger" Line before breaking down further where it now sits at a potential support price (previous swing low).
Pitchforks seem to work really well (in terms of the setups involved) when you have some visible cycles present (non-"trend").
If no bounce from here, then $31-support is in play.

What also didn't work

Following up on this post HERE
I still contend that the bullish wolfe wave is intact, but anything can happen at this point.
The current lows have a buy divergence going for it on the daily chart. Being that this could be perceived as a double bottom it could contain a tradeable bounce. Should the bottom give way, this weekly chart shows $35 as a reasonable target for support in the weeks ahead.

well that didn't work

Updated from HERE regarding the Falling Three method candle pattern on the AKAM weekly.
Was looking for weakness, but AKAM just kept getting stronger until it broke out of a really nice base.

50-day reject

Aside from price being now below all three key Moving Averages, and the curiosity brought up in THIS post, there is now a potential First Cross sell signal in the making on the SPY (just a fancy term used to highlight a confirmed lower high or higher low). The trigger would be a lower reading on the 3/10 line (histogram).

GLD wolfe wave

Bearish Wolfe Wave setup in GLD going forward. Volume, so far, is lacking.

base breakdown example

A good example of dying pace in GOOG today.
Bounced twice off of the initial low before continuing lower, while later Support was turned Resistance. Tough part would have been gauging a downside target, hmm.

RIMM wolfe wave

Bullish wolfe wave in RIMM that has a couple of things going for it;
- Strong Volume
- a gaped-down hammer candle
- a higher low than the previous swing lowSeen in a clearer light, price is at the bottom of a small downward-sloping channel, where we can plainly see symmetrical cycles of similar length (Regular Cycle 9-bars, Inverted Cycle 7-bars, and most recently an Inverted Cycle which is, so far, 8-bars in length).
Further illustratedThe price target for the next Inverted Cycle (should price not take out the current low) would be the top of this current channel, around $54. While the Wolfe Wave target is up towards the gap fill area ($57ish).

question...

...did the Lehman Gap put a tear into the financial market's quantum space/time fabric?
I mean, just look at this price behavior every time we go into this zone:
September '09 - March '10

Answer:
NO! Price has always acted crazy while in this zone. The vortex was opened up long ago.

Maybe it happened somewhere around 1998:Sept. '01 - June '02Dec. '03 - October '04

TLT bullish Wolfe Wave shaken, not stirred:

from 07/31/2010:
TLT above $100 and looks to have just bounced out of the sweet spot of a bullish Wolfe WaveFound support at the 50-SMA (and a pitchfork mid-line) before gapping up to it's 20-MA (and the Upper Median Line).This weekly is somethin' else! Price coming back into the +$101 level could spell out some uncertain times for equities (read, volatility).
