Hahaha, for tomorrow WayneL, or just by the end of the week??

I know Gann Fanns or geoangles or whatever you like to call them should ordinarily be drawn from significant highs and lows, or from closes. But in essence they're still effective for measuring the trajectory of price relative to time no matter where you place them. The peak I've drawn it from has significance in Elliott Wave terms as many have it pegged as the end of an impulse leg.

Using this peak for the origin of the geoangle, then in price/time terms this move is still not that dissimilar to May '06. Price could be thought of as falling more sharply over the last few days, so as to catch up with time and square things, somewhat, if you subscribe to that way of thinking.

An interesting stat from Nick *****'s Chartist service tonight...Wednesday the 1st of August was the 2nd biggest one day fall in XJO history.

Re: XAO Analysis

Looks like we might be in for a better day - IF we follow the DJIA. From CNN Money:

11th hour rally on Wall Street
Major gauges manage late session rally after a tumultuous trading day with very high volume.
By Jessica Dickler, CNNMoney.com staff writer
August 1 2007: 5:07 PM EDT


NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Stocks rallied late in the session Wednesday as investors scooped up beaten down shares before the closing bell.

The Dow Jones industrial average (up 150.38 to 13,362.37, Charts) jumped 150 points, or 1.2 percent.


The broader Standard & Poor's 500 index (up 10.54 to 1,465.81, Charts) added 0.7 percent and the tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index (up 7.60 to 2,553.87, Charts) gained 0.3 percent.

All three major gauges were mired in the red for most of the trading day until blue chips led the broader market higher with less than 20 minutes left in the session.
 
Re: XAO Analysis

It's green today - DJIA up 150 points overnight so that reverses yesterdays fall.

I think the letter for the next few weeks is 'V' for volatility. All it will take is another mortgage company to raise liquidity concerns and down she'll go.

But it looks like 'bargain hunters' have returned. Wonder where the ASX will go - a cautious toe in the water or gangbusters?

Not doing a very good job in putting my head in the sand.

You might have another opportunity to take some profits if this bounce is significant enough to bring in some liquidity again. But be aware of another sharp decline after that.

Cheers,

I heard on the news that the bounce was in the last 30 minutes of trading and lead by Healthcare and engineering company which are marginally represented on the asx. On the other side mining companies should go down again because commodities price were down again. I hope I am wrong but that was Commsec report comments

How long has the XJO been around for?
Not that long, i think its about 8-10years yeh??

Still a significant stat, but imagine if it was the 2nd biggest one day fall in the history of the XAO?

Re: XAO Analysis

Just an observation. I have never seen so many long-term chats in my life as I have seen in the last week. I have even seen a trend line going back to 1987! Come on you cannot tell me that every one has been trading/investing off the weekly charts. I know its what you do when one support level is broken, you go back and find the next. But I still think the speed of this meltdown has been so fast that a lot of "Trades" have now turned into "Investments". I don't think previous support is that important here, the think I'm looking at is where any snap back rallies are going to meet resistance and roll over again. It would be the rarest of occasions for us not to retest yesterdays lows in the coming weeks in someway.

Isn't previous support the resistance you are looking for? I think I know what you mean.
 
Re: XAO Analysis


Excellent point TH, i've got three open sell stops in various positions around yesterdays lows...i'm not wanting to miss the next sharp drop...too many points to miss out on.

Cheers,
 
Re: XAO Analysis

the next couple of weeks will be volatile. subprime jitters want to get out, bargain hunters wanna jump in, u'll find the index graph rougher than a roller coaster ride! so trade with caution guys!
 
Re: XAO Analysis

plenty of gaps around to keep things interesting anyways

 
Re: XAO Analysis

Seems like there is just no bids to hold up the futures or most Stocks and down they go. Everywhere. This will really start to mess up peoples accounts. Many stocks are well below yesterdays lows!

Nasty!!
 
Re: XAO Analysis

We've now lost all of the 100 points gained in the past few hours, and it's 90min till close. Very interesting...
 
Re: XAO Analysis


from an internal newsletter i recieved this morning, quiet interesting
 
Re: XAO Analysis

Until the subprime issue goes away i think markets will remain nervous. I am out of my positions because I believe its highly likely that if two bear sterns funds as well as maquarie can be affected by subprime problems there are likely to be more. And all it gonna take for another fall is one prominent fund to say we are having problems.
