In the next week: First, I expect a rejection to retest today's log breakout:
9000 is a strong resistance for 3 reasons: - Round number effect - Fib 0.5 will encourage shorts - On level of March 22nd high.
There were very strong bullish signs in the last week, and we can expect a battle for control at 7800-8000.
In the coming 2-3 weeks: Obviously nobody knows where the market is going but sentiment is that the bulls are clawing back control. I am inclined to say we are heading towards the formation of an IH&S, once again retesting 9000.
If this formation is successful we can expect to revisit 11400, forming an Adam & Eve pattern from this entire year's action. There will be a lot of sideways action around key resistances but the confirmation of today's log breakout will embolden bulls and intimidate bears.
In the next month: As price continues to rise and bears adjust to the prospect of an incoming bull market we will see greater momentum. If the A&E is a success we can expect 17000+.
Disclaimer From Bulkowski's Encyclopaedia of Chart Patterns, the IH&S would have a 74% chance of success and the A&E 66%. Combined, we have a 50% chance of reaching here IF the price rebounds from the log support. I am not making any buy/sell recommendations, but I will be following this as a basic plan. Play carefully until the formation of the H&S, and place conservative stops before each point of interest. Always wait for pattern confirmations and it's always better to take no action than to place a trade if you're not certain.
We are only two patterns away from success, let that sink in!
Any suggestions or commentary are welcome! You might save me some money. Cheers!
