{quote} I don't think we are done with Weekly correction since we are still below 3499. This spike could all be market manipulation. The big dogs spike the market so they can sell at a higher price. I want to see the market close this week with full candle not pin bar to confirm we are buying next week. Meaning we are still in the B correction. Anyway, I'm staying out of the market till next week.
I will be buying Gold this week. We are still in the Weekly correction with a complex B pattern.

I have been observing the market. The buy from Friday changed the pattern a bit. We are still in the Weekly correction until price breaks above 3499.

So expect buys and sells as long as we are below 3499.

However, it looks like we will be getting one more impulse up. I had assumed we were in the C of ABC, it turned out to be 'c' in b of abc. So now we might get the c part of the b.

As a trader you should know corrections can be complex. And knowing what patterns that forms within the corrections is the tricky part and where the money is made.

That's I like to spot the direction of the market early and get on the trend. Knowing market direction reduces my risk by 40 percent.

I'm not confident with any sells this week. But if we get a buy at 3333, I'll take it.

Until we a done with the B correction, any sell will be high risk.

I don't like that 4hr pin bar. Let's see if we get a retest at 3377 to buy.

If you entered in the 5 mins pullback watch out for the 30 mins pullback at 3392. When you take a 5 mins trade, don't hold till target. You get in and out with few pips.

Like I said yesterday, I don't like that 4 hr pin bar. We might retest 3351 before going up. I will have more confidence in the buy if we fill the 4 hr pin bar first. I will be trading both buy and sell setups as the form.

Looks like we are ready for the buy. This will be a short trade though.

I don''t like the set with small buy impulses. Looking more corrective than an impulse. This is a high risk trade but I will take my chance and move my SL to break even once I'm in profit.

Updated: the blue trend is the buy I'm waiting for. I'm not sure we are done with the correction to take off. Let's see if we get it today.

I will re-enter the buy on a 5 mins small pullback above resistance level @3390. So I can set proper SL.

Now the abc is invalid. We are going up. At this point any small pullback is a buy. This impulse is strong. I will add more positions on 5 mins pullbacks.

The market is finally taking a breather on 5 mins. My signal for buy.

Dammit! This is why I hate extended 5th waves. It messes up your head into thinking a new trend has started. It's like we are not done with the correction. Any buy will be above 3390.

Not sure how low we will go. So I'm staying away from sells today.

I'm looking to buy gold today. Will wait for the correction of 'c' to enter. You see what happened yesterday when we didn’t wait for the correction to be complete. I won't be repeating the same mistake today. But these are lessons that help us become better traders.

I'm looking to buy @ 3329/3315. The sell is looking corrective. We could turn at these levels

The buy is not ready yet. We will get one more sell before the buy takes off. I will take the sell and see if the buy happens today.

My trade for today. I'm anticipating lows down to 3315/3317 area before the bulls take over.

I'm waiting for re-entey to complete yesterday's setup. We still have more lows to go. Buying now will be risky.

I'm not liking this 30 mins buy pattern. We might retest our entry level at 3355.

We are getting that one more sell to complete the pattern. I'm looking to buy @3317. The sell today will be short. But the buy will be a better trade. Let's see what happens.

Damn! I've gotten good at reading the charts. Last week I said we will retest our entry @3355 and guess what? We did and I entered my second trade. Now we might be going for buys tomorrow if we turn at 3317.

I like to see a break and reverse at 3317 area before I buy. I don't see any signs of going lower. The Daily and Weekly are looking upside. But if the market surprises us, we go with the flow.

For now I'm done with sells.
