But I'd rather see the double bottom happen at the august 17 dip instead.... the july bottom, to get there from here, seems a bit to 'ominous' to me in these next few weeks heading into october...<br />the august 17 double bottom would be much more comfortable, and less panicky for the public mind.thomasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9226230.post-3592739364162506132009-09-01T16:27:43.509-07:002009-09-01T16:27:43.509-07:00This is interesting because those that study histo...This is interesting because those that study historical moves (cycles repeating) and adhere to precision (gann theorists) are writing that the low in March was a final bear-market low for both Indices and the CRB Index.<br /><br />From that low the Nasdaq Index and Crude have been the strongest leaders in both sectors, respectively.<br /><br />Secondary low may be made (after this nearly parabolic rise of 50% up in S&P and 130% rise up in Crude from lows)--but Minimum time targets for that secondary low is now somewhere around the 2nd week of October.<br /><br />So they are heavily still long and waiting for the advance into October.<br /><br />This is interesting to me to because in strong runups H & S tops are violated and right after the neckline is broken to the downside; the market rejects downside action and goes up relentlessly (the last 6 weeks).<br /><br />Now we have Neely and Prechter identifying time and price here as 'the' secondary top after the huge run down; predicting large moves down.<br /><br />Someone is correct; Elliot vs Gann.<br /><br />The trader just trades the moves--both up and down within the larger context.<br /><br />Good blog Allan.
