EURO update target hit
Posted on July 1, 2014 Leave a Comment
CLIFF NOTES: the flat correction we have been watching develop has been hit.
CLIFF NOTES 2: wanted to point out that we have been working w/ the EUR vs USD that, some could argue, is one of the biggest and most liquid instruments in the world. All of this work has been done based on PATTERNS. If you search “EURO” and go back over this blog you’ll find that most, if not all, of the inflection points were forecasted BEFORE they happened and you’ll also see ZERO moving averages, oscillators (I did use the RSI zones for gameplan constuction), Stochastics, MACD, bands, etc …no, in the end, once we CLEAR OUR CHARTS of nothing but PRICE and TIME the PATTERNS emerge. Just a note …
Strategy is crucial here … need the “break” and then the first pullback to SHORT. Still have 1.3747 and 1.3800 area’s to play w/ so being patient is, again, the key.
ENJOY …

Here is the BUY on MSFT – some amazing harmony, form, proportion and balance. Just take one second and look at that chart … no idea what is going on w/ their fundamentals and, it was quite the “crazy” time for it to find support during the 2009 thump. But … a PATTERN is a PATTERN is a PATTERN. so, here’s the BUY on MSFT issued in March 2009.
BUY on MSFT in March 2009
so, where are we now?
we are approaching the .618 from the all time high on decreasing volume and an overall market that “should” be correcting. Time to take some off and get ready for the next wave …in my humble opinion. (note – 50-52 is still a target.)
MSFT approaching resistance zones – watch closely or take some off the table
EURO continuing the update

CLIFF NOTES: in the world of Elliott Wave, a FLAT correction can be thought of as a big N. It’s Friday night and I don’t feel like relabeling the count. Suffice it to say our target in the 1.3680-1.3700 area still holds. I’ve tried to put the N in perspective so you can see. The key here is the C wave of the FLAT has to be 5 waves. I can see that count playing out so an expectation to deploy capital on the short side should occur next week. It’s taken longer than I thought it would …but it is playing to the sheet of music that I’ve been reading.
EURO vs USD
Yen … ramifications of this pattern are big
Posted on June 27, 2014 1 Comment
CLIFF NOTES: let’s face it .. 2014 had been a complete YAWN w/ regards to the USD vs JPY cross. It completed a 5 wave move up into the 105.50 and now’s it’s been correcting in a rather less than volatile way. Things are NOW interesting. Again, PATTERNS PATTERNS PATTERNS is what this blog is all about and we have a PERFECT (time = price) pattern completing. Please see below:
USD vs JPY 4 hour BUY pattern
CLIFF NOTES 2: why is this important …? Well, the pattern is completing right on top of a HUGE support level. So, the pattern works and we bounce, start back up OR it fails and we attack a key support level. This is going to get interesting.
USD vs JPY YEN Daily
CLIFF NOTES 3; take a look at the weekly. appears the RSI is breaking thru the top side of the bullish RSI support zone (40-50) so IF OUR PATTERN FAILS then we can make the probable bet she’s heading lower and into the lower bullish support zone – which on a weekly – can be farther. Right now, the 94 handles looks promising …folks that is 700 pips which is pretty big move.
stay tuned and let me know if you have any questions … watch the PATTERN on the 4 hour and have a good weekend.

CLIFF NOTES: in November 2013 I posted that a .618 price projection was hitting in/around 10376 level. while it did cause a month of selling AND gave a monthly signal (go look at the chart) the market subsequently “recovered” and caused the pattern to fail. Now, we have “another” pattern completing as shown below. Patterns do fail. That’s been proven .. however, a majority of the time they WORK. So, watch the swing low (it’s a monthly) and keep your powder dry. Also, the musical note F# ratio of the equal octave scale is 1.68179. Just showing that a .68179 projection works also … it’s all music.
Folks, a 10,20,30% correction is NEEDED.
KIWI Patterns (note plural)

CLIFF NOTES: Patterns galore in the 9000-9300 level on the KIWI.
AB=CD from all time low (blue)
1.618 extension from 11/1996
AB=CD from 2009 low (purple)
Butterfly Top – light blue triangles.
I expect the highs to be taken out from 2011 but then a BRICK WALL should stop the advance in it’s place.
McDonald’s (MCD) Strategy
Posted on June 23, 2014 Leave a Comment
CLIFF NOTES: MCD has been stalled at 100 since early 2012. that’s a long time .. we either have some high level consolidation getting ready to explode or some distribution. Here’s what I see … I see a PRICE and TIME pattern completing so my bias is a corrective move. If you look at the below, you’ll see a potential game plan. Note – the TIME of the 2 was rather long and thus far we have not had a correction to balance that from a time perspective so this prolonged move up I am going to put at 3 … sure looks like a beautiful expanding flat coming together so the next move after either 1) a triple top or 2) a 3 drives to a top pattern “should” be down but, one that should be BOUGHT for news highs to be seen. Will be watching an updating.
EURO vs USD update
Posted on June 23, 2014 Leave a Comment
CLIFF NOTES: the EURO bottomed on June 05,2014. It’s been correcting for 18 (long days). The most recent correction that occurred (intra day) on Friday was, just that, a corrective move in what I believe is the last leg of a “long” flat correction. Targets in/around 1.3700 are a good place to get into a short. Additionally, we could still POP up to 1.3800 so need to continue to monitor and be patient.
In any event the 1.39930 is KEY to the thesis that our 3 wave 1.5 year correction (labeled below as W-X-Y) is complete and we are on the verge of a major move lower in the EURO vs USD.
Emerging Markets and Crude …
Posted on June 22, 2014 2 Comments
CLIFF NOTES: note on the EEM chart below the “time” and “price” pattern that has completed for time but, perhaps, we’ll got up and see 45 as the target. This is very key as it has held the EEM back for over a year. The basic concept of polarity is shown w/ regard to the blue arrows. Now, take a look at the second chart – it’s Crude and EEM on top of each other. They have moved pretty closely together … so, now, the EEM chart get’s interesting. Our thesis is that the EEM pattern will fail – which will send Crude higher OR it will work causing a sell off in the EEM here or around 45 and therefore exert pressure on Crude Oil. Note, Crude closed at the .786 last week ..
Nothing to do, yet. But watch these levels .. .closely.

CLIFF NOTES: case can be made for 5 waves. 5th is in progress w/ some targets noted below. Bottom line is this puppy (much like IBB) has NEVER broken a swing low in this run so run w/ this one until a swing low is broken on a “closing weekly basis.” This count sure looks like we are in a 5th and the geometry sure looks like it’s “just starting” to go parabolic.
