Right now I'm on the sides waiting for the housing news at 10am. That should provide direction. :nerd:

I agree.... I think a nice target would be 639x... based on the monthly... may have to wait a bit for that one though...

I agree.... I think a nice target would be 639x... based on the monthly... may have to wait a bit for that one though...

That would sure be a nice target...
a) 38.2% retrace of the whole move....
b) high of the candle from Nov 2008....
c) and right below the 200sma.

you don't have to use a fib tool, But it is a Tool and can be used for many things. The pullback is basiclly 5/8 of the candle so a bit over 1/2 way down . and then if it is above the previous wick. Nice entry.could have entered at the open ad at the bottom when it turns. .

I see it is struggling at the 5 ema .. if you didn't enter at the fib or add on there you might substain a loss. But closing the first touch of the 10 ema is in rules at least a adjustment. We take profit at the ma's in counter trend trades.
