GOOGLE Takes Down NASDAQ

NASDAQ Site Crashes On GOOGLE Earnings

As much as we all like to provide our personal opinion and or reactions to events on Twitter, those claiming foul might want take a look at the technical picture that gave traders a fair warning well before today's Google earnings release. While my specialty is the ES_F, I am aware of the general position of the NQ_F contract.  

Here is my long term chart of the NQ_F and the appropriate Fibonacci levels that  provide strong overhead resistance.  Under the long term chart, today's event, while destructive to an account, will be forgotten as I believe the wave count is incomplete to the upside. 

At the weekly chart level, I have a proposed scenario and count that ends in an ending diagonal where today's Google event coincides with a w.iv decline that should be followed by another rally. A print below 2505 would caution that the top may already be in place. 

Let's see how bullish investors remain committed to tech and more specifically Google and Apple.

What's Wrong With This Picture?

The four major markets shown below show how one market isn't correlated to the other three. From the 2007 top, each market fell in unison. A recovery phase has occurred in the DAX, DOW, S&P yet the SSE has been unable to make a meaningful recovery. This non confirmation may be something readers might want to evaluate.

Euro and Aussie Currency Counts

EURO DOLLAR

As my preferred count, the Euro is working a bearish contracting triangle whereas, w.(E) will unfold in three waves that will be followed by a substantial decline. 

One could argue that the triangle is bullish in nature, whereas w.(D) would be unfolding and another three wave decline for w. (E) which wouldn't break 1.2051. Under this alternate count, the long term outcome would imply a thrust move above 1.5988.

AUSSIE DOLLAR

Much like the Euro Dollar, Aussie also exhibit a triangular formation but in this case, the triangle is labeled complete and a thrusting w. (V) should be underway. A break below 1.0089 would negate the fact that w.(V) was underway. Only a break below w.C circle (.9564) would concern the overall interpretation.

$SPX: Update Proposed Count

The following charts are an update to my initial count make at : http://bit.ly/OTVgK6

Under this interpretation, a print above 1433.59 before reaching downside objectives would negate the wave labeling, however, downside pressure remains so long as 1433.90 is maintained.

$SPX :Proposed Count

At the present time, the decline that has unfolded from the 9/14/2012 high is in my opinion a three wave correction that is incomplete. 

Presently the 5th wave of w.(iii) is subdividing and should complete with one more push to the downside that will be followed by another up, down sequence to complete the correction.

Note: Drawing is not to scale.

Fuzzy Math Applied to Jobs Report

Only 76 Net Jobs Per Day Created by Each State?

A small dose of Friday Humor!

The US economy added 114,000 jobs in the month of September. The markets reaction is of course bullish this number.

This post will not be taking an in-depth look into the report nor the shadow stats that John Williams provides. We will be taking a less educated , yet effective look on how a 5th grader, with no calculator or Harvard economics degree, could draw the following conclusions. Maybe you'll agree.

1. 114,000 jobs / 50 states = 2,280 jobs per state/per month

2. 2,280 jobs / 30 days per month = 76 new jobs per day per state


Sometimes we don't need a fancy degree to understand reality. Trillions of dollars in stimulus spending to gain 76 jobs.

Have a great trading day.

Monsanto : MON Chart as Loss Widens!

DOW JONES : Monsanto Co.'s (MON) fiscal fourth-quarter loss widened as the world's largest seed company saw corn and cotton seed sales decline. Looking ahead, the company predicted full-year earnings of $4.18 to $4.32 a share. On average, analysts polled by Thomson Reuters predicted $4.38.

While a few days removed from the report, the long term chart of Monsanto shows a perfect corrective elliott channel and IMO, price has  reached significant levels of interest.  Furthermore, the wave count is mature. While the possibility does exist for further upside, it appears to be limited. 

Should price continue to expand significantly beyond the typical targets associated with practicing the Elliott Wave Principal, and move outside of the corrective channel, it would be reasonable to question the overall interpretation  and seek alternate wave labeling.

Note: Additional fib clusters also lie around the $109 - 110 level.

ES: Algos At Work

Its interesting to note that I've found that algos and HFT's are active around key levels that pertain to elliottwave patterns, especially during the first stages of impulsive waves.  

The above chart shows a specific level that I was watching, and as I tweeted at 11:04 am, " I would really like to see a retest of 1451.5 in $ES_F. $$". This was immediately followed by an algo burst, noted by Nanex. 

For those who are just learning to trade ES, the number is most always front-run by .50.. so I was anticipating the turn as the move from 1453.75 was clearly a corrective pattern. 

Algos love piling on after after the minor or minute second wave. While I haven't labeled the chart in an effort to get this out to readers, the arrow shows where and what time the event occurred.

You won't be able to find this kind of information looking at longer time frames.... so make the 1-min chart your friend.

ES_F : Triangle Internal Structure

In a triangle, we have found that at least two of the alternate waves are typically related to each other by .618!

If my labeling is correct, w.(d) and w.(b) relate by that exact ratio and a w.(e) decline should begin.

ES: Triangles Have Defined Risk Zones

The following chart has been updated from last night's post. Note I will not be to quick to conclude that w.(d) is complete, as triangles are tricky. However, using clearly defined risk zones allows me to confirm my interpretation. For example, at the present time two zones zones exist that would invalidate my count. 

Breaks of 1451.5 at this point would negate a triangle scenario, while a break 1432.25 would cause concern, only a break of w.(a) low would negate the triangle. 

As the pattern progresses into w.(e), I move my risk zones above and below w.(d) and w.(c). Confirmation that the pattern has completed is upon a break of w.(d) crest. 

Hope this helps.

NYSE : Possible Scenario

Always be working your wave counts! NYSE is one of the weakest charts compared to the DOW and S&P and thus it remains under my watch for any deterioration that could lead the markets down. 

The NYSE made it's last high on 5/2011. Rolling over here could eventually spell BIG TROUBLE for the other indices. 

The monthly chart shows a proposed wave count that would currently call for a 3-3-5 flat correction. I've included some reference fib levels and a w.(C) =w.(A) target of 6212. Prints above 8718.25 would negate this interpretation.

DEBUNKING A Difficult Pattern : $ES_F

I have hesitated showing this wave count because the pattern was very unclear. Let's go over how and what I'm thinking.

1. The decline from 1468 is only in three waves as noted with the blue lines. That's corrective.
2. The subsequent move up overlaps the initial decline at 1443.5 thereby negating any possibility of an impulsive count.
3. The market has chopped around taking no prisoners over the last two trading sessions making little to no technical progress.


Under these assumptions, a triangle, w.b circle is forming that would continue to whipsaw traders. This is my trade plan.

In letting the market prove itself to  me, I personally would be willing to trade the market if price traces out the remaining annotations {w.(d) and w.(e)} in a three wave fashion. This is my personal trade plan.

As part of my ongoing training efforts, I will lay out a hypothetical trade so that readers can see how I apply the wave principle in my trading.
