Dow Jones Bearish Wedge Time Frames Analysis- Yorba TV Show

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleToday I would like to talk about charting in different time frames so that the trader may get a different persspective on the market he or she is trading.

The first picture is an hourly chart on the Dow Jones Industrials.  On the far right it shows the  reversal we had in the last week.  Remember I had said that the markets were in a topping process and you asked whether I would go short on Friday?  My answer was that I would go short when the market tells me.  


That is critical, since the Dow had made new four months highs that day.  Today is an important confirmation day.  What I want to see is a break, not a bounce, of the lower trendline. (I will rephrase that if the market does break.)  This tells us that there is more downside to come in the near term.

The second picture is a chart of the bearish wedge. One of the indications that the wedge is complete is the "throw-over" where the index punches throught the upper trendline. That is what happened at last week's show The throw-over only lasted a day, but the emotional pitch in the market was very tangible. You could cut the excitement with a knife. Unfortunately, traders and investors who don't have an objective rules-based view of the market can get sucked into the emotional fever and go long right at the peak. Today we find ourselves at the lower trendline waiting for it to break. Why? First, the throw-over was a completion pattern. Second, the wedge had achieved a guideline target of 12685, which I have had on my chart for several weeks. And third, my cyclical analysis suggested that Friday would be an "ideal" turn date.

Finally, if we look at the thrid picture of the weekly Dow you can see another completion pattern. On this chart I have the five-year trendline that was broken in January. On last Thursday, the Dow tested the underside of that trendline and failed. So where now, brown Dow? Again, let's look
at the rules of the market. Bearish wedges very quickly retrace themselves in the next move down. Mike, there are no guarantees, but if the rules are
followed, the Dow may drop to 11600 in a very short span of time. Let's continue to follow this chart next week. The reason is, if the market does
as I suggest, there is another formation ahead of us that also bears watching.

Let's take a look at the next picture of gold. You may recall that I had suggested that gold was finding a bottom last week and I was looking for a small rally in which to go long. Well, it happened. On Tuesday, my trading model suggested a top which coincided with a resistance line that I had noticed in the chart. Sure enough, the rally failed after probing briefly above resistance. What the chart is telling me now is that there is a potential for a significant drop in gold. I wish to point out the target for gold that I have had on this chart for several weeks. I am about to revise that target to 700-720. Here's why. That resistance line on the chart can now be called the neckline of a head-and-shoulders pattern with a minimum target of 723. In addition, there is a wave relationship here that strongly suggests a target of 707. Finally, my trading model suggests support at 718. What more can a trader ask for?
