directionless??

0 comments Friday, June 26, 2009

The beast is currently wandering aimlessly as the price is coiling within the two converging trendlines and developing a symmetrical triangle, indicating that neither the bulls nor the bears are in control.

The next major direction could only be determined after a valid breakout. As long as the price stays within the symmetrical triangle, it is advisable to stay out from market.

Below is the hourly chart as of 2 pm Malaysia.

156.50 support broken??

0 comments Thursday, June 25, 2009
A bearish engulfing candle on the h4 chart indicates that the bears are starting to gain control on the market. I was reluctant to go in early as the price action was choppy all day long, and a confirmation is still needed to ensure that the bears are in total control.

Now the price has pierced below the support at 156.50, which was the crucial level that I monitored. Let's pray the beast keep drifting downwards.

High wave candle II

0 comments Wednesday, June 24, 2009
The market is still in the sideway mode as the price keep ranging within the hi-lo of the high wave candle. Price still failed to break the high wave candle's high and now developing a possible bearish engulfing candle. Take note the price was also rejected by the descending trendline.

In normal situation, the sellers would be watching the 157.00 resistance level closely before entering the market. However, it might be better to stay aside as the FOMC data is coming up at 2.15 am.

Below is the H4 chart as of 11 pm Malaysia (take note that the latest candle will be closed in the next 2 hours).

Will the neckline be broken???

1 comments Tuesday, June 23, 2009
A bearish candle on the daily chart indicates that the much anticipated head and shoulder formation is still in play and currently is in the progress of completing the right shoulder.

However, the beast needs to penetrate the neckline at 155.00, in order to ensure that the bulls have given up to push the price further up and the bears are completely in control of the market.

The next cluster of support is at 151.00 region. See the daily chart below.

A possible head and shoulder pattern is developing on the h4 chart. As long as the price do not breach 160.xx area, there is a possibility the price will re-test the neckline at 155.xx region.

Penetration below the the neckline should be the confirmation of this pattern, with a possible target of 780 pips (the height from the neckline to the head), which should be in the region of the 147.xx.

Meanwhile, enjoy the weekend and may green pips always be with us.....
