from the chart you can clearly see both the 90% & 69% of this current move up represent the price range when the move down started 90% and recommenced 69% to make nov 16 lows...

its just something I've noticed and use to observe pivotal area's in conjuction with the conventional fib levels. ......

regards WS

should be a free trade now.
Also if it heads towards 13290 again then dont try and short it again.
This only works on first attempt mainly.

It bounced exactly off the old uptrend support line at 13307. It's possible that the move down from 13662 was a 5 wave move and, if it does drop below 13011 from here then the move up from 12471 will look a lot like 3 waves.

In addition, 12471 was the 38.2% Fib of the move from 10404 to 13662 so a 5 wave move down to there followed by a 3 wave move up ought to be followed by a further 5 wave move down, possibly down to the 61.8% Fib of the 10404 to 13662 move at 11663. US fiscal cliff could make this speculation a reality perhaps?

Time will tell...

Hi Jackozy,

I don't think this was a five way move as there was no divergence on the RSI to denote the fifth wave.

This may seem a little extreme but I reckon the DOW is headed for a test of support at 12020

Hi diver,

Yes, your count is certainly possible, as is the idea that the move down from 13663 to 12471 was a full ABC correction on its own and that we're now in a new uptrend (wave 3 of 1 of...?).

I note that since my bearish FTSE post this morning, its long term RSI seems now to be trying to breakout...

I don't have any index positions open at the minute - just waiting for a clear signal either way but I'm coming round to the bullish view!

yesterday i shorted the dow at this point,13290. Made a nice profit.
Today i wont be doing that as that level is getting weaker as its been tested a day latter.
When a level gets tested a few times then it normally weakens that level. Hence why i only ever attempt it on first touch basis.
