Ending Diagonal

Ending Diagonal SPX

The Market set up very nice for a reversal Monday with a terminating signal at the end of the C wave and the top of wave 2 with a potential of very nasty and long downward wave 3 to begin.

We could see a bit of an overthrow at the open to touch the top of the rising bear wedge ....stops should be placed above the resistance zone ....if it gets above there this is not an ABC retracement but a possible resumption of the larger up trend.

Here is a Video I made on reversal triangles the Technical term for them is Ending Diagonal but I try to use more generic terms ...What is Important is to get an understanding of the basic concept.

Here is an example of an ending diagonal Failure..... that's why I encourage stops.....if ED's fail they are very explosive... and if ED'S work they are as equally successful.....

Market TAO Thurs 7-23-09



ES Futures overnight gave us this Pattern.... an Ending Diagonal .....a Reversal Pattern.

These appear at the end of a very strong rally signaling a reversal.

It's not finished yet . Typically these patterns end with a spike over throw to the top and then fail that could happen today or tomorrow.

Still have my PUTS on from 2 days ago and will add more at the top op the spike.....use a tight stop because as
crazy as this market has been it could just keep on going up forever! :P


Apparently Mr Market decided this was an Ascending Triangle and we got a Big Breakout .

Usually a Triangle is a Wave 4 Structure and and the top of the wave 5 happens very fast.

It looks like this maybe the end of wave 5 .

Now we should see an ABC Retracement down to the Apex of the Triangle
