strange close on the FTSE. Not trading past 5.30 these days so only the 1 trade today. Have fun and see you guys tomorrow
 
what went wrong on DGE ?

my buy signal is still a valid hold although the ft relative (on the left)
looks like a fire sale may soon be the order of the day !

ah ! I see the problem now.

I have been known to do that. So I know how you feel.
 
morning
all a bit negative today, don't you think ?

a/d has plummeted since the open
1 day is broken
and shape looks like it might be in a C wave after the B finished at the open.

we have also broken the support line from 4327.

so just waiting for a signal, when it comes,if it comes.
 
Couldnt acess this board since this moring. Anyway

Bonsai this is for you

Morning all.

Just popping in to ask Hooya a question.

I think you still keep in touch with Bonsai,

I'm interested to know if he still believes this is a rally in a bear market or are we now in a bull market? If it's a bull market, what was the turning point?

Would you mind asking him for me?

Thanks

Ive been having a nightmare with my candle charts this morning.
My 5 min candle close yesterday still showing pre auction price,
my 10 min not showing any drop into the auction yesterday and
my daily candle open keeps moving. ggggggggggggrrr!

-for Wolf

It really depends on what you call a bull market.
My definition is quite simple but not to everybody's liking.

A bull market is one which will rally up to a new high, taking out all the bears, and carry on up - without retesting the low first.

It's possible, of course. Anything is possible

But after the 87 debacle which lasted about 3 months and dropped 25%, it took 4 years for FTSE to reach a new high.
And that was only a 'wham, bam , thank you mam' affair.

This market fell for 4 years and fell more than 50% !

When it bottomed at 3277, the yield on Ftse was roughly equal to the yield on bonds.
That means the market was valued at zero growth !.

So a break of the low is unlikely to happen but a retest is still a
strong possibility, I think , as I really cannot see any growth in any sector at the moment.
(There is a lot of cheating going on with the GDP numbers).

And that, together with all the stale bulls above 6000, makes the likelihood of a straight run up to a new high, improbable.

So, a bear market rally is still my favoured outlook.

On the other hand ..........
 
good bounce off the low...is it support or are we in 2 of C?

edit: Wolf says thanks

but they have made it look like a higher low ?

so ambiguous as usual.

the longest march starts with but a single step.

the first real test of whether market is marching towards new
highs comes around 5100??

in the meantime, unless we fall off the cliff, it looks as though a major (longer than a year) bull trend will be confirmed in March.
with both intermediate (3 months) and short (1 month) trends
bullish - I'm sure that's all news to you!!!!!

not sure what difference it makes unless you're gonna invest for
the really long term - I'll probably be sitting in an urn on my
daughters mantlepiece by then!!
 
if we make a high intraday low here I guess Longs will be back on the cards
