What H4 has just printed is not good news for the bulls. It closed below the Average. My advice to anybody still keeping longs is to close them

H1 has closed with a bullish engulfer. M5 and M15 rallies are now on board. So, the bulls are back in it. Interesting.

What has a close below the average got to do with anything at all? The question should be can they find support there.

This is a classic example of thinking trades and not paying attention to the signals

As you see from the chart below, this is just the formation of another ABCD

At the 5 minute level we see price was subjected to not one but two RSI Divs and if we also look at the EMA chart we can see where the average was trying to get to.Attachment g

So what was printed was excellent news for the bulls!

HI Alan, David

Is this right? and if it is how do I draw the next bit?

We can now connect the points to form the ABC triangle and the target is the distance AB from C. = D

IMO, Cable is seeing a lot of indecision. Not only held above 1.300 after the selldown but also held above 1.3030. But the rejection at 1.3080 was swift and strong.

For buyers, perhaps look to buy below 1.300 to mitigate risk.

Be safe!

Looks good to me Mike. Now select the AB trendline and drag it to the C point as the centre (one trendline up and one trendline down). The D points are either end, and are good support/resistance areas. However, failure at or close to the 50% levels are often good plays as areas of contention.

I have a problem calling this one an ABCD because C is not attacking A. There are two more pivots just to the left of B that C has to pass then it will be in divergence with A.

Apologies everyone, corrected to show the start at the pivot under attack. Here the failure at 50% resulted in the opposite D target being hit, which is an observation that Alan has mentioned previously.

Still not drawn correctly David. Even these tiny ones the rules are the same. We must use the attacking pivot not just anyone we choose to.

Here is the current flow of EMA action the interesting one being the 4 hour pushing to make the HH (that's a 100 pip grid)

The daily has failed to make a LL and is also pushing higher. (500 pip grid)

Don't forget the big ABCD signal on the 4 hour. At this time the Bulls are looking for support

Lastly the daily has found support and is now looking to the number 2 ABCD. It is currently stuck between the upper and lower 50% levels but this support may be what it has been looking for.

{quote} Hi Alan Can I ask how you chose A on your chart please?
Yes... Well it was the highest point between BC

Think about what we are looking at here, Both the bulls and the bears were winning between A an B, then from C the sentiment is changing and the bears are getting out (Buying) So we have what I call an equilibrium swing keeping the whole thing balanced.
