After the big run up over the last 1.5 years, it is not surprising to see a big sell off (especially in May). When you see a big break away plunge as we saw today, seldom does it end after one day. If this is wave 1 (on the hourly chart) we may see a bounce before starting of wave 3. But expect markets to be soft again tomorrow (and for 3 or 4 days). On the 5 minute chart, on both the NDX and SPX it is a perfect example of a 5 wave pattern.
CWH: Stock has made a massive head and shoulders pattern and is now in a down trending channel. It held support today at $28.80 and closed $29.10. But it appears to be starting wave 3 of a 5 wave pattern and I would look to go short below $$28.80 with a price target of $25.00. Short ratio, 3.8 days to cover.
DIN: Stock was in a down trending channel for over 1 year and then in December last year it accelerated to the down side dropping from $82.00 to $50.00 4 months. Last month it broke down out of a bear wedge and today broke support at $49.50 closing near the low for the day at $49.20. I would look to go short below $48.70 with $42.00 as the first price target. Short ratio, 5.6 days to cover.
FNSR: Stock made a double top at the end of February and gapped down sharply. It then formed a bear flag (wave 2) and broke down from there to trade as low as $22.00. It then formed a bear wedge and today broke to the down side out of the wedge (which looks to be the start of wave 5). You could short on a break below today's low at $22.93 and if it breaks $22.00 the price target is $18.50. Short ratio, 2.3 days to cover.
ZPAS: Watching this stock for a bounce. I doubt it can get much higher but waiting for the right set up before entering. My price target on this stock is $.50.
I am not an expert at Elliot wave theory so my counting may not be true to the theory. It is best to read up on it on your own. But generally way 5 is the big wave.
Hello Mr. Knight, what trading strategy would you recommend to grow a small account 20-50% a trade, I currently can't short sell because I don't have enough money to make a margin account, and I can't afford Tim's subscriptions yet. Any help will be appreciated, thank you.
Hi @WolfOfProfitLy , Bob is the expert here, but from my experience I've never seen what you're looking for. I would recommend you to focus on 1) know the patterns that work for you 2) understand risk managment and cut your loses quickly and 3) control yourself and only trade what works for you and don't try new things with real money
Ok, thank you @alealvarez
