SPX - that little pullback

    Posted by DigiNomad on 28th of Jul 2023 at 01:48 pm

    SPX - that little pullback stopped at, you guessed it, the channel line extended out from October. It's also exactly where we gapped to on the open.

    Lost 50% of yesterdays candle, on a closing basis....for now. 

    If the market starts another

    If the market starts another leg higher from here, it wouldn't completely surprise me. I see about 2 or 3 ways you could say we already completed an ABC.

    I try to keep my drawings in place as long as possible so I can refer back and learn from my mistakes, and wins.  It's been chaotic ever since the recent break out of the top of the channel started in October . Seems like market can't make up it's mind whether to respect the channel or create a new, steeper one.  I don't like to redraw channels, unless they are clearly wrong to start with (happens a lot at the beginning of a trend, but gets less common towards the end).  With a very extended channel, a break in the direction of the trend (increased slope) represents extreme behavior....at least that's how I see it.  Have to respect the trend until it changes, or else, but I also don't want to start new large positions here hoping for a long run.

    Didn't see the diamond before, but yeah, now that you mention it.  Google "diamond pattern trading" though. Every image except one on the front page is a reversal / bearish pattern, not a continuation pattern.  But I'm aware it can be both. 

    I learnt many years ago

    I learnt many years ago that The real Diamond pattern is a reversal pattern. And I have been trading for 24 years now.  did i learn wrong?
