Quoting Igrok
theoretically it's still possible to see a diamond on the very top on the DJIA chart... it might look like this... the outcome will be the same though... {image}
Hi Igrok,

just a question about what you mentioned in your article. If I got it right, if this was a single diagonal diamond it should be a continuation one. To be a reversal one, given the shape it has now, it must form a double top before reversing.
Or maybe, the "rule" of the single diagonal (about the difference between continuation and reversal diamonds) is not a real rule but just the most likely outcome
Thanks for your reply.

exactly.. you're right... in this case to be a reversal it has to form a second top close to the first one...

Igrok,
What are you thoughts on current conditions? I see us having a heavy down week next week, and possibly erasing most, if not all, of recent gains since the initial drop.

You’re saying so far, this isn’t a reversal diamond top. But are you still confident in lower prices moving forward or will that depend on if we make a run for the highs again and complete the diamond top?

I already posted side by side two different markets' charts... one was the oil chart and another was the Dow... what they both so far have in common are the continuation diamonds being formed in the middle of their uptrends... in terms of timing oil was years ahead of the Dow... as of this moment the Dow almost exactly has been mimicking the behavior of the oil prices... as we can see now, the initial correction was exactly the same as it was on oil... same very thing has appeared on both pictures when, after reaching their subsequent MOTs, the prices initially dropped thus reaching the tops of the previous continuation diamonds in the middle... the question now is whether the Dow chart will continue to behave the same way or it will be something different this time... as we can see from the oil chart, the reversal consolidation pattern on the top of the trend was a triangle... I have little doubts that on the longer-term Dow will repeat oil's behavior thus fully covering the previous uptrend... for Dow it means that it will have to reach sub 2008-9 levels no matter what... however the details may vary... it's still possible to see a dual-diagonal reversal diamond, as I outlined it on the previous chart or, perhaps, it might be something else... but I'm afraid that at this point we will have to wait for some sort of a confirmation before coming to a more definitive conclusion...

Perfect, thanks for the answer and all the infos you're sharing.

welcome... in case of a real dual-diagonal diamond scenario the second diagonal has to be almost symmetrical to the first one... not just in its range but in timing also... this means we're gonna be able to make a good projection for the future quite soon...
hi sir Igor,

1. Bifurcation theory is so technical I can't connect it with you diamond shape technique, could you sheld a little light about this concept?

2. Do you think cryptocurrency will be used as the different legal tender in your clustering of nation model?

your reply would be appreciated much

whaats for the Crypto. very possible, see jpm has created one. and these boys are the ones who run sht. https://www.jpmorgan.com/global/news...-coin-payments
The future of the currencies is realy what worries me. sure all of them depreciate at each other, they are in free fall. but some may be better than others. Here i see 3 of them which may be safe heaven? (JPY,CHF, NOK (Norway has largest fund <1Trilion) would appreciate your insight Igor.

1. "bifurcation theory" is a scientific mathematical method of studying dynamic complex systems behaviors... economy in general and markets in particular are the examples of such systems... "visual pattern recognition method" including my "diamond theory" (not necessary just diamonds... all of the repetitive patterns, as a matter of fact...) in my view is the most simplistic way to define the points of change within a particular process and can be applicable to some other studies.... not just the markets...
2. most of people do not understand what money are for and what actually "legal tender" is... by issuing different national currencies the governments of different states thus only guarantee that they agree to accept those notes or bills for all the debt collection purposes (including taxes) from their citizens... people and private businesses do not have the obligation to accept those notes while conducting their activities... therefore "cryptos" are not "legal tenders" and may become ones only when the governments confirm their willingness to accept them as such...

I've never considered currencies as "save haven investments"... by collecting money such an investor has nothing more in return than the promise of the subsequent governments that under any circumstance the state will accept its currency as a legal tender for debt collection purposes...

it will go down the drain as everything else...unlike the Dow effectively getting to 18300 initially, S&P hasn't even hit yet its absolutely "must reach" level at 2121... though the longer-term target is located at slightly above 400 mark...
it seems DXY is set to retest 103 soon... 102.50 is a must...
Good day Igor,

Looking at the big picture of DXY, for a few years pattern of diamond like shape is being formed in the middle of the up trend. Based on the theory "every trend will be covered and average cycle takes 8 years" Perhaps we can assume what brake out of the pattern will be to the upside and will reach highs of 2002 at 120 mark really soon. Also completion of the pattern based on the symmetry may take another year before price clears out of the the range i.e. after forming a right side.
On a smaller scale DXY has change MMY for a three times this year making another change of MM unlikely and trading ranges have doubled in average which is expected behavior after long narrow consolidation. Currently MMY is to the up and am assuming your call is based on open gaps MMY and perhaps other clues you may want to point out.

Thank you.

I agree with almost everything you just wrote here... however it's a long shot to project that previous downtrend being fully covered at this very point... for the moment it looks more like some sort of consolidation on DXY is possible within 92.00 - 104.00 range... but longer-term I would rather anticipate a down-trend to resume and 79.00 being the initial target... there are some "unpaid debts" down there...
So going back to the current situation the facts are Price have expanded the range first brake out was to the downside which is a fake and second brake out to the upside after that may be a true direction. After making a Year high at 103.90 and changing a MM to up price retraced to the pendulum and in many cases this may be a support/resistance making next move to the upside more likely to close a gap and test the year high but not surpassing it - the year range is exhausted and price may stay in the current range till the end of the year.

As far as targets below the couple of flat levels are apparent 94.60 next one is low from 19 Sep 2018 is to flat to be a significant but rather a magnet as well as MACD divergence on weekly and after that is the top of a diamond.

Perhaps you can point out some other UNPAID DEBTS and reasons for move sequences.

This is all for educational purposes only and cant be treated as trade signals.

Thanks you.

there is a gap up there at 1.3340 on the EUR/USD... and another one (that nobody can see now but I remember it) at 1.3380... same area it is where a small intraday continuation diamond had been formed back in 2014... that corresponds with DXY at 79.00... also a long-term trendline on EUR/USD with three touches is a magnet and the fourth one will be a breakout... thus 1.3380 on the EUR/USD is a must...
Thanks for that Igor
I can see plenty of targets to the upside in EUR I just wanted to find our why is 102.50 on DAX is the must? In this case sequence of moves for EUR will be down to test lows of the year once again or perhaps 1.04 and and continue oscillate in the range 1.04-1.014 for the rest of the year before braking higher?

Thanks again for your explanations

DAX????... at 102.50????.... I don't remember posting that... where did you get it from?...


BTW there was the same old diamond on the DAX 30 as well... also it has already hit its "must reach" level that would be the Fibo at 38.2% retracement as shown on this chart...
