Where to next?

28. January 2009

ES -  A chart was brought to my attention by a friend and I feel it is very interesting.  It seems we keep making 0.618 fib pullbacks and it is creating a nice wedge.  We just broke out of our parallel channel to the up side, so perhaps our next target is 887-894 near the top of that descending line?  I hate to be bullish in a bear market, but we can't always go straight down.  After hitting the wedge one last time, perhaps that will give us our next leg down to lower lows.

UPDATE:  I updated the chart to show the bounce as expected.  Oscar (from LiveWithOscar.com) brought to my attention the top of the channel we are hitting.  Also cooresponds to a Gann Level at 871 (180+45).  

Where to?  Scenarios: 

  1. Perhaps a 45° or 90° pullback (860 or 848), then up to the targets at 887-894.  You can see how well this lines up with this new horizontal line. 
  2. Upward move continues above the top of the wedge in the next 2-3 days (target of 916), then a hard fall below the bottom of the wedge around the 0.750 time level (Wednesday, 2009.02.11) and on to new lows.  1/29 is key.

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The risk of loss in trading commodities can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition.  
 
In considering whether to trade or to authorize someone else to trade for you, you should be aware of the following:
  • If you purchase a commodity option, you may sustain a total loss of the premium and of all transaction costs.
  • If you purchase or sell a commodity future or sell a commodity option, you may sustain a total loss of the initial margin funds and any additional funds that you deposit with your broker to establish or maintain your position.
  • If the market moves against your position, you may be called upon by your broker to deposit a substantial amount of additional margin funds, on short notice, in order to maintain your position.
  • If you do not provide the requested funds within the prescribed time, your position may be liquidated at a loss, and you will be liable for any resulting deficit in your account.
  • Under certain market conditions, you may find it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position. This can occur, for example, when the market makes a "limit move".
  • The placement of contingent orders by you or your trading advisor, such as a "stop-loss" or "stop-limit" order, will not necessarily limit your losses to the intended amounts, since market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders.
  • The high degree of leverage that is often obtainable in commodity trading can work against you as well as for you. The use of leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains. This brief statement cannot disclose all the risks and other significant aspects of the commodity markets.
