The Three Bears

I was saying last week that for a fill of the open gap from 2711.93, I'd be disregarding the Three Day Rule target (a retest of 2553.80). The Three Day Rule target technically hasn't failed yet, but the first downside scenario is likely failing, and we are now left with the remaining two scenarios. The...

The Ephemeral Triangle

NQ/NDX and RUT/TF have now both reached their respective IHS necklines and broken slightly over them, so the possible Janus bear flag setups on both are set up and ready to fail into the retests of the previous lows. ES/SPX is the only laggard, but of course, there was already a strong target at the...

Janus Flags

In our Sunday Chart Chat, I was looking at an attractive scenario for this week where ES/SPX would make a higher high this week to complete a possible IHS forming, break up slightly from that, and then fail back into a minimum target at last week's low at 2553.80, also the target on the Three...

The Three Day Rule – Day Three

It's been a while since we last saw an example, but one of my strongest historical stats is the Three Day Rule. On this stat, there first needs to be a 2%+ decline, and then on a break back over the 5 day MA, currently at 2627, then on a clear daily closing break back...

Better Late Than Never

I prepared this post a while before the close today, but for some reason, my media computer took two hours to encode the video. Everything still relevant now so here it is. In the interim the backtest into the 2619 area is in progress and assuming that support holds, I'm expecting a higher high to...
