Mr. Pip.

As far for your projected up targets, am I correct in assuming that the targets will be a measurement of the completed AB-CD leg
if price goes down there ?. The first target will be the 61,8 and the following if price goes up 127/138 area ?

Regards,

Hans

I see 2 possabilities. both involve Price traveling to the 1.36 handle. I would monitor the strength on approach to modify my expectations as needed. The reason I expect price to give up some more Upwards terriotory is the PA strength from the Bulls on the current swing

sorry my charting package doesn't have arrows. I guess it wasn't in the budget

There is a basic expectation for price to complete at least a 1:1 harmonic move but that alone isn't enough. We must look to find the confluence in the area that will help us determine where price should reverse. Price tends to follow the path of least resistance most of the time and the stronger the barrier (most confluence) the better the probability that price will turn there.

Having an expectation even on the correction lets you know if price is strengthening or weakening for or against your expectation an that is very important when it comes down to decision making.

{quote} This is not a Bat pattern per the rule I use your first correction did not achieve a min 50%. that is not to say that we do not have a good possible long coming up on the cable. You see this is why since the beginning I said not to focus on the patterns but to focus on what the chart is telling you. Just because there is not a pattern doesn't mean there is not a good trading opportunity. Let me ask this out loud why would I consider a long in the cable around 1.6950 and the answer is not the round number(but it does add confluence ).
Sorry Mr. Pip, I came in too late. Could've participated. I was too much in my head with the patterns and was trying to FIT the pattern. I will loosen up a bit and try to bring in all the other factors suggested by you. (confluence, structures, price making its way through the path of least resistance, and then the patterns). I am stumbling hard, but will keep at it. Thanks.

in the budget that was a good one!!! I agree with your expectation, price should at the very least come back to the 1.3600 structure area but it's overall intention might be to get higher to 1.3610 area. I expect for price to stay bearish overall and attempt to take out the lows.

If it crosses 3600 I'd expect 3610/15. Don't see it much more than that at this point.

Hi Mr Pip.

I think I get most of what your saying - however I have to translate it into my own language since english is not my native language. Could I ask you
to post a chart with your above explanation on it. I learn much better from pictures. Of course only if you have time for it to do so.

Thank you

Hans

Trading is about expectations and probabilities. We expect for price to behave in accordance with basic expectations. The most basic of expectations is for swings to have equal distance moves the majority of the time. You will of come across abnormal circumstances from time to time but for the most part this is true of the markets whatever they may be. Once you have figured this out, it become somewhat easy to have a realistic and achievable target.

The order flow making up that swing or swing will help you determine whether you should extend your target or cut it short.

Well I wasn't expecting that much of strength from the Bulls

After that much strength, my expectation is for some movemnt up. The wick is almost a 1/3 of the candle so I'm expecting a retest of candle highs (1.36200)
