This wave 5 is getting awfully long in the tooth. Feels more
impulsive than the prior move up. If it is Wave 3, then we may
extend higher towards 8k when we do get to the illusive wave 5.
Squiggles and waves!
I wouldn't buy any stocks at the moment. Obviously, the market
is frothy. However, when the dust settles, C3.AI may be worth a
punt. Broken out of recent downtrend with natural target being the
200day and then the open gap around $19-$20. Current price is $10.
This all reminds me of
dot.comwhen at that time, you simply had to
have "Internet" or "Technology" in your company name and the price
would rocket to be a 2,5,10x bagger. C3.AI I think provides AI
Software. Anyway, sidelines for now and will re-examine after
market has a healthy 2-4% correction.
It has been a long time since I saw so many stocks going
parabolic. Reminds me of the dotcom era. We all know how that ended
but those stocks didn't necessarily have strong fundamentals.
Stocks now have fundamentals but are just grossly overpriced by so
many measures. But you only need to get off when the ride
stops!
MACD is weakening here and about to cross down. Remaining short
here and think next time the lower channel gets tested (around
27400), it will break. We shall see!
Think trailing down here is probably a good approach.
Nice chart. With price forming this bullish channel, next move
should be higher but with the weekend approaching, I am going to
move to the sidelines on ES...and close my short from
earlier.
Thankyou. Much appreciated. It is the break in symmetry that I
need to add in as a trigger. Will try and incorporate. I hve
a stop in at todays high ~7280 and am eyeing up the broken rising
channel around 7225 to trim. Not the best Risk:Reward so will trail
down if we get to ~7225
Perhaps some retrace through to end of day? I am seeing 5 waves
on the hourlies. But I am about a 1 out of 10 on EW Understanding!
I just went short here but tiny position size
I find this chart fascinating. Notice the 15 year Bull
Cycle followed by a largely sideways move. It doesn't actually show
the sideways move but you get the idea. Price did nothing for 15
years after. So we are now potentially in this cycle. +51% so far.
If history is any guide, much further to go. Climate Change is a
variable that wasn't a major factor in prior cycles. So every
chance this potential 15 year move is the most explosive.
Naturally, the art is to take profits when we see a claer 5 wave
move up in any instrument and then wait for the reset.
German DAX looks poised to break upwards here. If so, I would
think we also have higher to go in S&P before the 4th wave is
in. Fits nicely with the narrative of Oil perhaps seeing some form
of retracement here as the inverse correlation is currently in
play
I shorted STX earlier today so stop in now at todays high. It
has risen ~1000% in the last year. May rise further but any
pullback in the market will probably be lead by those with froth in
them. It's still up 13% today but was up 18% earlier.
Hi Matt. Back to Sugar! I am not really an EW Guru. Just looking
at structure though, is it possible CANE is starting its 3rd wave
up here? Wave 2 looks a bit shallow but I guess there was
some sort of pullback. Also todays rally seems quite impulsive.
Will naturally have to build in the coming days though. I pitched
the end of the wave to around $11 because that's where price broke
down back in Autumn.
Separately, I had a look at Corr (SPX, CANE). Almost an inverse
correlation recently. Perhaps rotation may have something to do
with it. So if S&P is likely to fall, one home may be found in
CANE
Yep with Sugar that's what I mentioned last week. Cane is being
diverted for Fuel rather than crushing for sugar
In addition, the Brazilian Crop is currently being harvested.
Any sign of a lower yield there will start to squeeze future
supply
Finally, Super El Nino this year. This is the one that will send
Aggs higher still. When Cocoa had a bad crop a few years ago, the
price tripled within a year. It is back to earth now but had a heck
of a run then
ROP reported today. I still think it has higher to go and the
pattern seems bullish here. Well off todays highs but I think it
may just be a retest of the horizontal consolidation
Sugar. The more I look into it, the more I see positive
headwinds for Sugar.
1. Technically, near multi-year lows with recent signs of
bottoming
2. Super El-Nino Risks later this year which may negatively
impact crop yields
3. Supply constraints in the Straits. Around 6% comes through
there so Supply is tightening
4. Ethanol. With Oil prices likely to be elevated for the
foreseeable future, Cane is being crushed for Ethanol (As an energy
source) rather than for Sugar. So it's a fantastic substitute in
many cases instead of paying higher Crude Prices
I remain long here and will trail up but with aggs, a combo of
positive technicals and positive macro conditions usually lead to
sweet gains.

I didn't realise he had a mind. At least not a sensible one. He can always revertl back to his old lies of blaming Biden.
Correction was long overdue. Oil here may even push back up as it seems to be finding a footing at higher levels.

Posted by vimal on 1st of May 2026 at 11:35 am
Sweet! This is where I have a reasonable sized position 2x fund. Also an interesting chart at the bottom of this link. Sugar has a delayed reaction to movements in Oil. So maybe with Oil stabalising ~$100, Sugar will play catch up in terms of its move. https://www.ragus.co.uk/why-oil-prices-are-driving-sugar-markets-more-than-you-think/

Kiss goodbye? As in lip to lip rather than KISS Systems. :)

STX
Posted by vimal on 29th of Apr 2026 at 01:00 pm
Good approach. Just wait for the technical red flags.
The way HYG is behaving tells me this could be wave 5 unfolding. It's looking weak as Matt mentioned before
