Alright, sleep is becoming a thing of the past for me, and exhaustion a thing of the present. So this update I'm actually going to keep short, unlike yesterday's failed attempt at brevity. I spent a fair amount of time on the charts, so hopefully they're self-explanatory.
It appears that the preferred count of Friday and Monday was a dead-on hit, and that we're now most likely in blue wave (4). There are more bullish potentials -- so as always, I would caution against any temptation toward complacency.
This rally wave currently has an a-b-c appearance, and could be nearly complete. However, fourth waves are known to frequently string together several fractals, so another up/down sequence wouldn't be out of the question.
Most notable levels are discussed on the chart, and bears should definitely be cautious in event of any breakouts above the red trendline.
The Nasdaq appears to have further to fall.
The next chart simply examines the trendchannels on RUT.
The last chart I want to call attention to is the US Dollar. If you went long the dollar near the red trendline, as I strongly hinted was a solid play (on several occasions), then you are now in profit of $2200-2400 per DX contract. Dollar has currently run into some expected resistance at the a-wave high. A further correction here would not be out of the quesion, but once it breaks out above the a-wave high, it should be relatively smooth sailing to the targets.
In conclusion, it doesn't yet appear that the final lows for this wave are in place, and a trip into the mid-1200's still appears likely before it's completed. Trade safe.
Good morning. Please be aware that discussions are now being held at the new forum. :)

Hi Pretzel! Great calls, as always! I have registered for the new forum but I don't know how to check whether I've been approved or I have to do something else... Thanks for letting me know whenever you get a chance today or tomorrow... Trade safe! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, pd -- yeah, I recognized your email and approved you pretty quick. You should have gotten an email letting you know -- but either way, you're good to go over there. :)
ReplyDeleteI have registered for the new forum.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading your daily analysis but I do not care to make comments. I hope you still give outstanding analysis without forcing people to make comments. Most comments on http://danericselliottwaves.blogspot.com/ are junk so I do not waste my time reading comments on financial forums. I have read the comments a few times on http://www.pretzelcharts.com and they are not much better. However, I will say it again, your daily analysis is outstanding!
ReplyDeleteThanks TT. I have no intention of "forcing" people to make comments. I genuinely wouldn't know how to "force" people to do that anyway. We're moving the forum to have better control in maintaining the collegial atmosphere. :)
ReplyDeleteHI PL, I agree with you that this rally was forecasted by my stocastic oscillators and they still look for a minimum of SP500 between 1160 and 1075. Bbut before we will have an other rally starting at 1.250, always in the descending channel

Hi! First comment but following PL's writings for months. Copper bear flag?
ReplyDeleteRegistered at new forum as SoulJester. Have posted here less than 10 times. Hope that is enough. Read you may be moving your charts there at some point. Would be sad if SoulJester could not longer read your charts.
ReplyDeleteMerci. Peace. Om.
Hi PL, registered as PANoodle on the new forum. Looking forward to the new/improved site!
ReplyDeleteHi PL, I registered as Permabear on your new board.
ReplyDeleteThanks
SJ, it doesn't matter how many times, it's more about whether I recognize ya or not. You, I know. I'm able to track folks who only posted once 3 months ago. It's a lotta frickin' work, but the end result should be worth it.
ReplyDeleteKewl thanks. I have a question for you in a couple weeks I think.
ReplyDeleteHey PL there is no way i would miss on your updates so please add me to the new forum even though it may take some time getting used to it. Registered as karthikg.
ReplyDeleteHi.I've just registered after donating a day or so ago. Not a trader, but enjoy your analysis and comments.

Yes, I saw your donation (thank you!) and registration come through, and activated your account. :)
ReplyDeleteOk, but I cannot be registered because yesterday's post was the first for me, so I just read comments there.
ReplyDeleteThanks for chiming in, Lexx, that's hugely helpful. I found your donation from 12/15/11, so I have a record of you from previously. Your account's active there now. :)
ReplyDeleteYES, please register -- pretty easy to find on the site... if you can't locate the registration area, just try to comment and it will tell you you need to register.
ReplyDeleteI think some folks are believing that I'm going to hand-create every single account, which I can't do. PLEASE **CREATE AND REGISTER AN ACCOUNT** IF YOU'VE POSTED HERE PREVIOUSLY OR IF YOU'VE DONATED AT ANY TIME. I'm about 80 users behind right now, so please be patient on activation -- but DO please post here to notify me you've registered. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, as they say. :)
Hi, Mantic, good to see you again, and thank you! :)
ReplyDeletePaolo, go register at the new site and let me know when you've done so! :)
ReplyDeleteI registered as gritmonkey on new site. I've posted here a couple times
ReplyDeleteThanks for that. For some reason, I had no record of you here. But since you posted just now, I could check your Disqus record directly and see you're not a troll. The account you registered has been activated.
ReplyDeleteHi karthik. I have no record of you from previously. Please read this thread:

PL, I'm a "known spammer" on your new site. I've donated once, so you have my e-mail.
ReplyDeleteSorry about that, the spam software is fully automated and does its own thing. I'll get you set up in a little while.
ReplyDeleteHi PL, I also was flagged as a 'known spammer' when I registered and donated yesterday. I used member name tomp.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom. I'll get to work on this as soon as I'm done with the update. :)
ReplyDeleteIts all right PL.I have been following you very closely since the last few months but have never commented.So i may look a stranger but let me assure you i am not :-).I am mighty impressed with your thinking on the markets which is quite original and thought provoking.I really love to read your posts everyday and hence was shocked to learn that you are moving to a new format as i really loved this old format.But as they say change is constant-- i guess there should be no complaints though it may take some time to get used to the new format.Guess i will have to register afresh.
ReplyDeleteHi Tom, I sent you an email.
