Another Fascinating Juncture

Another interesting week of trading has gone by and the next 2 weeks for me will be very very interesting and important...Now almost all weeks are like this so you might wonder whats so special about this one?...I will explain. Lets start with the weekly.

Now what is important here is that the MACD has turned up and is on the verge of breakout out upward...BUT see the last time we were this close...It just kissed back and failed. I will be watching this one very intently for the signals that the same will happen.

Notice also how the stochastics gave an important intermediate term buy and is still on a buy.
I have been hammering the table about this important gem for a long time.

If I were to take a guess, I would say another kissback and failure for the MACD but let the market tell us that.

Now next the daily. We have a breakout out of the channel and we are targetting higher levels of 4720-4750. Important fibo levels in both retracement terms of the bigger decline and the recent more smaller decline. 4800 odd should be tremendous resistance and I would wager we fail before we get there...




I also think that the next SIGNIFICANT low will be a major major BUY point. You can refer my counts from earlier and see why I think so. ABC-X-ABC after which a big multi-month rally.
This is still what I am thinking and still sticking with it.

Here is the chart I had posted some time back. See the lines drawn predicting possible moves for the market and see market action up to date. It performed quite well for me and was able to make some bucks. However its still sad how ppl ridicule EWT..Recently on a forum I frequent many folks came out making fun of EWT...Its funny when ppl do not understand something, then like to laugh at it..I dont hold it against them...Its just ignorance.


I make it a point never to belittle a new method but instead try to understand and prove it right or wrong...If its useful, its a good tool to add to your arsenal. If not, well let it go. This is the hallmark or a good trader. Also finding out what works for you and sticking with it. Its very important to be open to new ideas when trading in the financial markets.

Okay enough of preaching. Lets look at the hourly also. At this point nothing is clear from this one. I am not going to try to count the subwaves because it is just not clear...I do believe however that we are still doing an ABC correction upward after which we should go lower...

Maybe a retest of 3800 or maybe a bit lower. Again dont expect this to happen all of a sudden. Tops and Bottoms are very painstaking affairs. Give it time.



Fundamentally speaking, I was looking at EPS data of the NIFTY for this year and was shocked to see we have a very miserly growth figure of 8% odd last year. This is quite shocking and way below what I was expecting. And with the RBI tightening down on things, we need to pay attention here. Maybe its time to put the INDIA SHINING story on the back burner for some time and just play the market trading the swings.

Comments are welcome please. This is what will give me incentive to post and also will heighten discussion and well enliven up things more!
Trade Safe and Have a Great Week! ;)

Best.

Excellent analysis...have similar views.

Suggestion: I think you are using linear charts...try using log scale for better trendlines.

Lee said...

Wow KPL sir, I am honoured to say the least to see you over here! :)

Yes I will take your suggestion to start exploring log more..The thing is I have less experience with this but as with everything else, I will try experimenting with this!...

Once again thank you for your thoughts!..And nice to know we are almost on same page! ;)

@ Babu, thank you for your comments..if you used some of my analysis for yourself, I have to say I am very very happy...If you are long and in profits, it may be a good idea to book some profits or atleast put in a stop loss protecting profits...We should go above 4620 or close on Monday..Watch this and book profits accordingly...Better safe than sorry is what I say!

@ mvp..nice to see you also here and hope to see ur comments more often!
My view is that nifty is an excellent proxy for our stock mkt as a whole!

Nice to see someone defend EWT, Lee. It's a terrific analysis tool.

I've always wanted to see a blog where the progress of the Nifty was charted over an EW prediction - even from a weekly, monthly perspective.
That would be a brave thing to do.

Dear Lee,

Lovely analysis with good description. Please note that NIFTY has shown very good support at 4500 odd levels and resistance at 4568 (Which is a magic number) for almost three consecutive days and this means that once the 4568 level is crossed with volumes we can expect the next resistance at 4760 (next magic number) and then it may turn back. Well that is my perception provided global cues also help out. I would better wait for Nifty to break 4568 and then take a 4700 CE Nifty. Well lets watch for an interesting week ahead.

Regards

VISHNU

Dear sir,

I would like to learn EWT. What is the best way to learn it? Right now I don't even know A-B-C of EWT (seriously!)

Thanks,
Raj

kurichh said...

hi lee sir..nice to see ur blog
hmm i do not knw much abt EWT but can't it be like this

I = 3790 to 4532
II = 4532 to 4164 ( almost fifty percent retracement )
III = 1.618 of wave I from the bottom of wave 2 = 1200 ( staggering number..lol but even if 1 x wave 1 = 742 points from 4164
then wave IV and Wave V and then we fall ?

All values are of nifty future only

Hi This is the first time I have been to your site. I wish I had visited it earlier. Made good money in june and lost all of it and more in July going short. Wish I was here and gone long instead of going short. Nice detailed update you have here. Keep up the good work. Will visit you more often. Best regards, 2K2day

Lee said...

thanks shivangi, yoda, dr shah, twok2 and all others!

@yoda - yes i am also an avid learner of ewt...hopefully i will eventually be able to post much
more accurate views of the same..monthly, weekly, daily and so on.

@vishnu - better to be very very nimble and quick on both sides...

@raj - there are lots of good books out there...but i have seen ewt is better learning thru experience and following others who do know more about it...See the link of JustNifty on my site...a good blog on ewt.

@kurich - what you have said is a possibility...however a super bullish scenario where we get to
earlier highs and more..this is why i do not prefer it at this point...i do not think we are at that point both fundamentally and technically...we really need to consolidate around here and lower for market to start a healthy upmove...

Hi..Lee..You can't get simpler than this.And your supporting arguments for each chart will make a newcomer learn the ropes to study other charts as well as it's tremendously educative.No one has predicted the market consistently but one should never be reluctant to state his opinion & probabilities.Thanks for your inputs..

Lee...Hi....Nice charts point to point analysis.Ok I confess I dont understand abc of Elliots. Infact all my attempts have ended at xyz..even before I can say A!!! Even when I read Illango's blog I try and avoid his a of 2 or c of 3 etc etc, I just see what levels he is talking about and corroborate my analysis with it.I don't berate Elliot just because I lack in it. In fact I am a believer whether driving a Maruti or a Mercedes, the motive is to drive from point A to point B and safely!!! Look at this way all of us are followers of TA and each has his favorite poison..so in a way we are at an advantage, because of our different approaches, we hit on each other with our analysis and come to a common ground!!!! I guess all combined together we present SOLID ANALYSIS!!!
Cheers!!!:-)
PS:Langote sir has given a nice idea of using Log scale for better trend lines personally i do the same..use and see the difference!!!
