holiday dead cat underway

The ellipse projection seems to have held the down move for now, so lets see if we can get back above line 2. for a more sustained move or if we just crawl back up the underside (as with line 1.)

We can expect the shortened holiday week to be reasonably bullish moving into a 3 day weekend but discounting any geo-political risk.

Longer term projection is 1800 at line 3. May 5th.

dead cats

A short term bounce should now be expected, at least to test the previous support area of 1840-45.

Advanced Get is indicating that it is unlikely for a re-test of the 1897 high in the near term due to the low PTI (below 35). This in turn suggests that we are setting up for a more long term down move – sell iin May and go away?

Having broken line 2, a test of line 3. should be on the cards soon.

back at the 50

With the sharp move down the last 2 days the first major line of support (line 2.) comes into easy reach and I would expect to see some consolidation of the down move, a pause or even a bounce in this area. If we break that line then as with the line 1 break, then line 3 becomes the target.

The oscillator is showing weakness again and this is a reminder that when the oscillator is weak (but not oversold) that further weakness can be expected and not to trust any buy signals.

no fear – just higher highs ?

So far so good. A bounce from lower bollinger to upper bollinger. A pause and first test of the breakout.

Long term I am now looking for a move towards trend line 2, or 3. at some point in the future (May 1st), perhaps after a series of tests of the upper trend line 5.
