Re: XAO Analysis

As for XAO, One more small decline to approx 3850 should finish off wave d down on the wave 4 triangle. This would leave a small leg up (wave e) to finish off the structure at around 4100 - 4200. Once completed in the next several days, the ride down to around 3250 will be underway.

The XAO approached the 3850 mark today (3858) but the wave structure still looks incomplete. A further decline may occur tomorrow, but the closing wave structure today also supports the start of the next leg up in the wave 4 triangle into the 4100-4200 target area.

If a further decline occurs on the XAO in the coming days then 3750 could be the approximate target area.

Agreed Ozwaveguy, 3750 looks better for this triangle to be in proportion here, if it does not get down that far, then the triangle scenario might be in question.

ATM wave d might looks to be a touch shallow, and the index looks like it might rally if it breaks above 4200. Either way, we should know by early next week. Today marked a minor cycle low. The next minor cycle high is not till 18/19th Nov.

So really at present it's a matter of triangulating the triangle!!

Re: XAO Analysis

This has little to do with the XAO and relates to the DJIA, but thought I would post it here anyway:-

A quick comparison between crash lows in 1929 and now. I wouldn't put my money on it. It seems too circumstantial, but it does oddly enough though support the bullish stance.

What is the conclusion for the chart below? Well, IF you believe it has any merit (and that can arguably be a big IF), then we are about to embark on another leg up.

Maybe tonight will give more clarity on this issue.

Re: XAO Analysis

Just posted this on another forum. It's the XAO going back to 1875 (click on the attachment to get a larger image).

The black trend line was already on the chart, and I added the blue one, which I think is a better fit (making everything since the late 1970s pretty much part of an above-average bull run).

As I frequently point out, that trend was broken forever by high inflation in the 1970s and 1980s. See here, showing how the trend has shifted.

You either need to correct for CPI, or (better) look at the ratio of All Ords to GDP. See here.

We have clearly been above trend (although not as far as 1987), but anything below 4000 is already approaching historical lows.
 
Re: XAO Analysis

That ridiculous figure of 1500 seems more likely every day.

The next interest drop likely to be another 1% is unprecedented in my time,such huge drops in such a short time.

It appears to me that world financial experts are struggling to control the downward spiral.
There is another summit days away,as they struggle to keep ahead of this.

Not all are going to be "saved" the US and the Aussie car markets are under threat.
Highly likely that the "bottom" isn't in and wont be for sometime.

A market best avoided as we can only be on the long side.
Those accumulating "Bargains" maybe bitterly disappointed as time is likely to re value many.

91, 92?

You have IB don't you Tech? :eek:

I've been trading long the Australian market, and only going short in the US. It's worked thus far. Only have 1 long to get out of here.
Nun, You may have been 1 day early in your call for a bounce. Let's see where the XAO goes today after this mornings declines.
Yes, that's it. Allow your losers to run in a highly volatile market in the hope that your analysis is right.

no my stops are my planned stops from trade entry , no intention of following anything down regardless of direction after percieved , also not in the habit of joining the other panicers on auction / early open either

this trade is like any other trade and dealt with accordingly . i stop out , so be it , i re-enter so be it , doesent hit my stops so be it.
 
Re: XAO Analysis

And be careful with the afternoon forced selling. That's likely to start up again on this move down I would assume.

yes always a factor when supports are broken , margin call times in the arvo aint it ? dunno .. just what i hear from round the traps , never had one

oh and cheers for thoughts
