That's brilliant! Thanks Remo

The target works out almost exactly at the gap from 15th March 2013 at 1077...in theory of course!

Hi anne
No problem ,thats what chartsview is for..learning
Its the lowest point you take outside of the cup as such.....Was getting confused for a minute..lol
Its always the lowest point.
hope that makes sense

Thanks Remo - I think I worded my question badly and I'm probably barking up the wrong tree altogether!! But if you can bear with me while I get my head around this, I'd appreciate it!

...in a rounded bottom formation the target is estimated by using the measurement from the bottom of the 'cup' to the line across the top - right? My question is - where's the bottom? is it measured from the lowest point achieved outside the cup (in ANTO's case would be 733 on 3rd December) or the lowest point achieved on the inside of the cup (in ANTO's case would be 752.5 on 13th December)?? Am I making any sense (or just creating a lot of unnecessary hard work - quite likely!!)??

Anyway - whatever, I'm quite prepared for my question to be wrong!!!!

Thanks Remo

This is not a cup and handle formation yet anne ( This still can form latter)
To measure a rounded bottom target ,
you measure from the top(of the cup) to the bottom
then you project it from the breakout point
Heres a link to my post on the learning section

If this was to fall away and the cup formed a handle, then 50% retrace would give a nice gap fill @ 820/825!

As Remo says, one to keep an eye on

CT79

Just one question - when measuring to estimate a target - do you measure from the top or the bottom of the candle which is at the lowest position in the 'cup'?? (hope that makes sense)

Thanks
Anne

Cheers for that Remo!

I've got a close eye on this, and pleased with my progress (from a personal point of view)...

Look at the close today (910), and check out my post from 29-Jan!

This time next year Rodders!!!

thanks Remo - and your explanation of a 'rounded bottom' is sooooo clear - even I understood it!

Possible rounded bottom formation??
keep an eye out for a breakout soon..
so one to add to your watch list

Phew! What a lovely reprieve from Mr Market then!

This could - barring any further Fed mishap - head towards 910 perhaps before being tested again.

WEEKLY:




Feedback welcome, and Good luck folks.

Ouch. Got this one badly wrong.

(maybe more woes to come, as it looks like it is in "hated" territory right now!)


Daily Price Action:




Weekly Price Action:

for the 123 low ,the price has to go down a bit but not lower than the low. Then move back up. So has not formed yet.
Thanks for the heads up

I'm a bit optimistic here but, ANTO's looking good no?


1. A morning star pattern (that's a hammer in the middle right?) - following a solid down-trend?

2. Whether there's a 1-2-3 set up, I'll leave to the maestro here




I've included a second chart to show supporting indicators...

1. RSI bouncing off strongly.

2. MACD responding, though probably not entirely convincing.

3. DMvI still has a way to go, but DX+ has turned strongly, DX- has turned down, though not crossed yet! and the ADX trend is elevated...





I'll be taking a position on this basis. but, as usual, please DYOR, and comments would be welcome!

This has gapped up today and broken out of the down trend-line.

Was getting a little worried about this one...

Having hit 985 barely a couple of weeks ago, it is now testing support gap (which let's face it, is rather narrow!)

Disclosure: CfDs have been settled, but shares are still kept. I'm tempted to open a long CfD but probably missed 852 which came and went!

Antofagasta is approaching gap support.
worth a long at 850 with tight stops or 854(window)

Target hit!

But it looks like it wants to go higher this one:

Likewise FRES, but not KAZ as large w/o coming.

Well, the 1-2-3 low seems to be in play; but is that a "cup" being formed?

test
what pattern could you see on ANTO??????
You will have to look carefully as the pattern has developed over the short term(last month)

good spot libero
Ive gone long on this as well now...
this is currently above the down trend line so possible trend change and also the 123 low set up. Since they both appeared at similar levels it adds to the trend change possibility.
My stop is below the 2 point so risk of 60 pips.

first target is 923

Looks like this is finding its bottom... The Previous support, which turned resistance at at around 859p is currently breached, but it is early days!




Cautious long on 17/07 at 835.5, but will look to add.

Good luck all.

(addicted to miners!)

Looking at this again...

It appears to be bottoming out (never certain in this economic climate with so many Central Banks pulling the strings!).

Happy to add and hold on support:

Daily:




Weekly:




Goodluck all, and "DYOR"

p.s. Need to diversify away from the miners!

Libero,

I really hope I'm wrong.....

Cheers Diver.

Looks like a frightening prospect if it drops to the 650 area - well unless you short it that is

This is one of the equities that hold the actual shares in, rather than a derivative interest - so whilst content with holding them for the long term and divis, I may well consider a short hedge if it breaks through support (and if Copper continues to slide - down 1.5% so far).

Money management eh, who needs it!

I would advise caution here....650 a distinct possibility; and possibly sub-600.

This is looking like it is going to hit its support at the 860 mark...

Notice the RSI & Stochastics on the daily:




The weekly view's support is ok-ish also, and the RSI looking to hit oversold should it play out to 860 over the next couple of sessions:





As ever, always looking for input from CV patrons!

IMHO 123 setup in play.

First time with HL for a long time.....change in trend overdue for the miners?

dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/20815047/ANTOdaily19_04_13.gif

Lovely hammer at 864 support on a double bullish RSI divergence. Possible long with a stop below 859p. That 864p support is important though, so a close below that should be a nice short too.

If this breaks 1225, and ultimately 1392, then it will head north and the count is no longer valid.

My target for a retrace is 1170 - 1220, then to continue on down to 864 - 772. I would repeat, this is a long term view and I would expect it to be sometime near the end of the year before it comes to fruition.

Diver - thanks for your reply.

This is my take on Anto. I have got a wishful Inverse H&S forming if what we have seen recently is the low point.
From your counts - can you confirm at which point you can turn around and say the count is no longer valid?

My chart:
dl.dropbox.com/u/4385922/Anto1004.png
Lower trend line approaching.
I see 1168 as strong resistance - so I will be selling there.


Thanks in advance

Hope this helps. It's the long view to way back in time If this is a C wave then it will make at least 61.8 of A, but there is good support around the 76.4 which is also 61.8% retrace of the initial big move up to A, so the 770 mark gets my vote for support.

Please could someone kindly put up a chart with the significant areas to watch out for?

Many thanks

(p.s - some issues with my charting app)
