DOW

Libero,

I watched it and was amazed.

I think the dow reversed a 1000 point gain.

Sorry this should have been posted in the S&P 500

Did any of you good people monitor / watch the US markets near the close last night (just after 20:45 I believe?) there was a mad downward spike, it wiped up any desire for the bulls to take back some control.

it was a hell of a sight (Like LFC beating Barca - that one is for TF! )

chart attached to show the moment (and it was a moment!) that I'm refering to in the 5min Dow.

Remo,

Many thanks for clarifying. It really helps with analysing it all.

I would usually wait for the 1-2-3 target to hit, before exiting the trade, but I see you use multiple time frames. Interesting.

I suppose it helps that you know what wave we are in. I looked at that once.

Many thanks for all your help, it is much appreciated.

Now I’ve gone long on the Dow....
As you can see I’m always willing to change direction pretty quickly...
But there is a head and shoulders formation on the hourly so keep an eye on that....If it drops below 22350 then I’d go short again...

I use hourly charts a lot for bigger direction, and use 5 and 1 minute charts for earlier entry...

Overall I’m still expecting the indexes to go lower in the medium term...But look to the charts for clearer direction

"there's a hundred different ways to win a football game" quote from Jurgen Klopp....(lifelong Liverpool fan here)

well there's a hundred different ways to analyse these markets as well!
They could all be right.... and they could all be wrong...
Its what make a unique and dynamic market place...
for me i was watching the weekly chart...

dow - weekly.

i was watching the 200 day sma as well as the 200 day ema line on the weekly....
had feeling it was going to test that level.... very often a bearish index or stock turns just short of key retest level...so i caught it as it was falling.....only to see it rally back....but then it got smashed into the close.....

if we are talking about retesting.... how about a retest of the falling t/line on the broadening triangle then?
dow - daily.

good luck all....and keep banking those coins everyone...but most importantly stay safe and healthy during these testing times..
