Transports – clear 5 waves down and example of PAYING ATTENTION TO HARMONIC #’s

note, 5 waves down after hitting a MAJOR target zone. last post on Transports: https://bartscharts.com/2021/02/21/transports-a-lot-of-degrees-of-trend-coming-together-heads-up/

note, the symmetry of the moves … wave 1 = wave 5 and the internals of wave 3 are perfect … 1 = 5 and 2=4.

you’ll also see some numbers to the side those are projections showing the clear symmetry in the waves

lastly, we were so so close to hitting the 16180 or 1.618 high .. off by .1 percent. anyway…. if you open your eyes to the harmonic ratio you will see a ton of examples.

just to show you … here’s the USD versus the LOONIE on a LONG TERM monthly and note the top …

yes that’s a MONTHLY AB=CD and then, just for shits and giggles went up and tagged 1.618 and “night night.” Just saying … pattern on a harmonic number, pay attention.

anyhoo .. here’s the chart for the transports …

Loonie, OSX, Crude – time for another inflection? UPDATE to the UPDATE

11/5/2016 – Crude Continuous is giving us a nice “heads up” that this move is CORRECTIVE in the scheme of a much larger corrective pattern to finish a big big 4.  the market corrects (most of the time) in 3 waves labeled A-B-C …in this case let’s follow the set up:

  • $26 dollars was the END of 3 of 5
  • $51 was the top of A
  • the 51.92 slight new high (NOTE WAS IN 3 WAVES) was a ‘minor’ b wave and this move lower is ‘c’ to finish the a-b-c sequence of B.
  • the ‘usual’ relationship is 1.618*a = c and note all of the ratio’s come together in/around 31.30-31.60.  THAT’s a GREAT BUY for crude.
    • Else – we could just be arcing out a FLAT and 38 holds it and if we have 5 waves down into 35.70-35.90 that could be it.
  • either way … we are moving into a very nice BUY of crude.

Until we hit that bottom .. the LOONIE will probably not strengthen and churn/burn in around these levels or a little higher. be patient, the move is coming.

here’s the ideal pattern we are watching:

10/24/2016 – target hit on the USD vs LOONIE.  Watch this one carefully.  It “appears” that everyone is thinking of a big breakout but, as you can see, we had multiple targets coming into play and they were hit today.

WATCH FOR A DAILY CLOSE BACK BENEATH CHANNEL OR THE .382 as shown.

go ahead and follow this link if you want to follow some real time PATTERNS w/ technical analysis and the correlation between the 3 items in the subject line: https://bartscharts.com//?s=LOONIE

appears we are at another critical juncture:

  • Crude – 2 buy patterns present.
  • OSX – buy level indicated
  • USD vs LOONIE – multiple patterns present for another move in LOONIE strength.

again, these are just patterns folks … but we have a very clearly defined demarcation line for the next move to begin.

stay tuned

Yikes … look at this set up.

It’s ONLY probability ….but look at this set up coming in the USD vs LOONIE (Canadian Dollar)

It’s a pretty wide window, but we have a TON of “stuff” coming into play …

This will have big ramifications for the Oil Complex.

What do we have?

  • Measured Moves
    • blue vertical line is the LARGEST move UP in the history of this currency since 1971
    • dashed purple line is a measured move prior to the high at 1.618 (yes that was the high)
    • dashed orange line is the “last” measured move up before the high
  • .618 retracement from the all time high
  • AB=CD from the all time low
  • MONTHLY bearish divergence

Here’s the weekly:

Page_15-12-07_10-14-51

What do we have?

  •  a well defined macro 5 wave count
    • 1= 5 (red arrows)
    • 3 to 4 =- 1.618-1.7632 extension into target zone
  • WEEKLY bearish divergence

Here’s the daily:

Page_15-12-07_10-21-58

 

 

What do we have?

  • 5 wave daily count up into target zone
    • (1) = (5) (dashed black lines)
  • bearish divergence

so, all this means is IF this level fails to the upside you can expect the Crude Oil Complex to fail big and the Loonie to get smoked.

we’ve got some nice thrust into the target zone so let’s see what happens.

HOWEVER, if this level holds we might have a pretty big set up going LONG LOONIE in the coming days.

Crude, the Loonie and Oil Services Index for 2014

the chart below shows the Oil Services Index $OSX (candles) w/ USDCAD (inverted/line) overlaid on top …

some observations:

  • when the blue line (Loonie) is going down it is weak.  when the blue line (Loonie) is going up it’s strong …
  • at most inflection points, the $OSX and Loonie are synchronized nicely. however, for most of 2013 this relationship has diverged.  in that, while one was going UP (Oil Services Index) one was going down (Loonie weak)
  • the Loonie topped a good 6 months prior to the $OSX in 2007-2008.  However, once they synced they got smashed …
  • the 2009 bottom was well synchronized and since then they have move very nicely together.

$OSX and USDCAD
$OSX and USDCAD

below, we have added (black line) Crude Oil to the chart and, as expected, it is very synchronized w/ $OSX EXCEPT since September 2013.  Note, the $OSX has held up, nicely.  What is this $OSX?

Oil Services, Loonie and Crude
Oil Services, Loonie and Crude

The OSX tracks 15 large companies w/in the context of the Oil Services world …Changes in the Philadelphia Oil Service Sector Index tend to be associated with changes in the oil and gas markets, since greater exploration and construction of wells occurs when oil prices are high and less such activity is carried on when prices are lower.  They were all affected by the Gulf of Mexico Oil spill …

so first let’s go thru the 15 components and look for big picture patterns – BUY or SELL.

Main20131229105932 Main20131229105303 Main20131229105422 Main20131229105523 Main20131229105641 Main20131229105754 Main20131229105836

so, as we can see, there are some nice SELL patterns coming in, there are a couple weak ones and where I didn’t post any charts there wasn’t a glaring pattern to be seen.  Bottom line – I’m not seeing significant strength in the index but to elevate some of the stocks to hit their targets perhaps we’ll see some more strength.  so, now we need to break down each individual component …

Crude Oil: http://bartscharts.com/2013/10/31/crude-oil-a-potential-roadmap/ this was my last post.  I am still in the “look and feel” phase that the top at 147 was a 3 and the low in/around 35 was a 4.  while the pattern completing at 110 was good, the thrust off this bottom trend line last week led me to see a triangle where we can see a,b,c,d,e – triangle complete and off to a new high ?  CRUDE BULLISH

Crude Oil
Crude Oil

USD vs CAD: just a little bit higher (200 pips) we have some pretty major targets.  while I am a DOLLAR BULL, also recognize that the Loonie is a small percentage of the overall index.  LOONIE BULLISH (after a little more weakness)

CAD vs USD
CAD vs USD

Oil Services Index: the only thing “wrong” w/ this chart is that, a RULE of counting is 4 cannot go below 1.  In this case it does,  However, the Crude chart spikes thru but never closes below.  so, I am keeping this count.  Note, we smacked right into the .618 price projection area at/around 294 and are testing it again.  the 306-307 level will be key.

So, our roadmap to follow is:

  • Crude – breakout of triangle.
  • Loonie – BUY a couple hundred pips lower
  • Oil Services – break thru – with strength and conviction (read volume) levels show

one last, this is something to be patient w/ …. I would not recommend jumping all over this tomorrow but wait and see these levels get attacked … the GREAT thing about PATTERNS is we now have clear lines in the sand for where we are correct or wrong. Go back to the beginning of the post – w/ that divergence between the OSX and CAD-Crude the patterns will tell us which way this entire family (Crude, OSX, CAD) will resolve.  It very well could go completely opposite but not until the pattern levels are targeted.  they will either work or fail and then we’ll pounce
