When PATTERNS fail, they almost always come back to touch it and then CONTINUE (UPDATE)

UPDATE: is “I’m not sure, but suspect” good enough?  We went thru the level and closed below it BUT the next day moved strongly higher.  A weekly close above the old pattern is good but my perspective is these old patterns work – pretty exactly. plus, it looks like we aren’t complete from a wave […]

Lions and Tigers and Bears Oh My – XOM Monthly

folks – I am sorry that I didn’t post this earlier as this ranks up there as a “no brainer” in my simple mind … the ENTIRE KEY is the square root target IF square root targets lie on top of 3 Fibonacci retracements and a measured move then Lions (square root target), Tigers (measured […]

form, proportion and harmony

take a look at this FX chart of the Loonie (Canadian) vs the USD …in my mind, it’s a wonder to behold. anyone notice the all time high was 1.618? start from 1972 and you see the AB=CD … note the correction at BC (blue dashed line) and it’s the same correction that occurred in […]

1856 ….

if you read my last post (here: https://bartscharts.com/2015/08/20/i-think-this-is-a-song-of-hope-robert-plant-live-stairway-to-heaven/ ) you’ll understand the importance of a “swing low.” I’m watching 1941 – blue arrow measured move that has happened before but, more importantly, 1856.  1856 represents the largest correction down since 2009 BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY is a KEY swing low area … if we take out 1818 […]

“I think this is a song of hope …” Robert Plant Live Stairway to Heaven

The S&P 500 has been climbing a stairway to Heaven .. folks coming into 2015 we had some pretty strong patterns appearing.  some worked and some didn’t – isn’t that what we expect? that being said, it was prudent to be cautious due to their presence. here’s what I posted around a year ago: “Let’s […]
