8/4 10:45

Here is the XMI rectangle
The XMI did not even make it to a new high.  Regardless all of the cash indices 3-waved to their nominal new highs.  It seems pretty clear that the lack of downside over 2 full sessions indicates a rectangle 4th wave and not the end of Minuette3.  With I1 up I have to buy here.

  1. I noticed your TLT trade, so thought I'd post a count for TNX (10 year yield, tracks as nearly inverse of TLT)

    Until proven otherwise, I am assuming we are in a BIG Leading Diagonal on the daily chart, either an A wave or a 1 wave. This count was originally posted by alphahorn, I added the "alt 4".

    The count will be invalidated if TNX significantly penetrates the TL that runs from the top of wave 2 to top of "alt 4". If it plays out as an LD, then TNX should drop to 27 or lower.

    I feel as if I take a long position at this point I am buying nose bleed seats to the show. This is definitely day trader territory. I1 is not on a buy and with the technical’s getting close to a strong sell signal; I am going to wait for support to be broken. At what point do you feel support will be broken if we stay in this tight trading range?

  3. Pima,
    Thanks for the post. At the time of the TLT trade I was thinking that stock futures had completed Minute3 and that a larger correction was iminent. I modified that view when cash continued it's 3-waves within rectangle indicating 4th wave still in progress. My longer view is that yields will continue to decline but I was using TLT to counter an expected stock decline. That's why I got out so quickly.
    Thanks for the chart. Looks like a good count.
