I want to describe trading breakouts, versus trading riskier scenarios where you can take hard loses from failed analysis.
Here is a possibile bullish scenario as an alternative to my current bearish ideas: - My subwaves 1,2,3 down are not part of a bearish 5 wave impulse. They are actually a downward ABC wave. - That means this upward subwave 4 is actually the start of wave 1 of a new bullish impulse up!
Here’s how to wait for confirmation if we are in fact in the bearish scenario or the bullish scenario:
1. Wait for waves A-B-C of subwave 4 to complete as described. When Subwave 5 starts and the price action heads downwards, watch for it to drop well BELOW the point of save B of subwave 4. This confirms the bearish scenario! If it was a bullish 5 wave impulse up, the third wave up should not drop below the subwave 2 point (which we are currently calling wave B).
2. Wait for waves A-B-C subwave 4 to complete as described. Once we see the downward action of subwave 5…. watch if the prices rises well above the top of subwave 4 (wave C) at any time. This kills the bearish scenario and validates the 5 wave impulse up! Once subwave 4 clearly completes, we should not see it price go above it!
Remember to full confirm the two threshold's I describe above.... we are looking for good volume when we move past those thresholds. Also we don't want to take action (e.g. trigger a buy or sell) right at the threshold, it is easy to get faked out by a sudden peak. Play it safe and take action nicely past the threshold.
Aggressive trades can try to trade every wave but it is very difficult and risky…. masterful asset management is required, with tight intelligent stop order (that won’t get triggered on fake outs), as well as laddered buying and selling (instead of one big buy or sell order….. a laddered series of orders to avoid to change of missing an order fill all together).
The much safer play is to trade confirmed breakouts!

Lets watch .382 level for Wave B retracement as the 0.236 level has already been breached. 0.236 may continue to hold going forward though... watch it.

Also one more note on confirmation at the thresholds:
Keep an eye on expected time frame...if a threshold gets hit in an unexpected time frame, then the wave count may be off. For example if we expect a wave segment to take many hours to complete but suddenly we hit the threshold with 15 minutes, we must question our wave count and hold back from trades to avoid risk... use patience to see how waves play out!

Update:
WATCH OUT! It looks like Subwave 4 is complete !? That subsub wave A really had ABC rolled into it... this looks like subwave 5 heading down now!
It will confirm when it breaks strongly below 7850 with volume!

If is does not confirm a break below 7850, then this could be a REALLY deep B wave, and we'll bounce back up for C.
Use extreme caution, use stops to limit your losses, and exit to cash if necessary!

Here is a VERY STRONG hint, if you are THEORETICALLY in a long position.
You should (for educational purposes) put a stop-loss sell order at perhaps 7840 to limit you losses for your theorical trade, because when it goes strongly below 7850, its gonna dump hard!

If this is subwave 5 and we dump below 7850.... my targets for the bottom of wave 5 are:
7620 (0.786 fib) or 7442 (1.0 fib)

WARNING!
Looking at the chart... it looks very unlikely right now that this is a huge B wave dip and we're going to bounce back up for C.
Subwave 4 is complete!. This is the start of subwave 5 down, and when we break 7850, away we go!

Google "bear flag" and you will see a picture of the 5 minute chart. And we know what bear flags do.... THEY"RE BEARISH.
I will post an updated wave analysis, but it takes 15 minutes until the published post is public!

Quick update.... I believe we've completed subwave 5 down to complete the entire wave 3 down.... and the breakout upwards we are seeing now is the large wave 4 up!
pump and dump dude ! Fundementals always rule over the technicals.
Thank you twitter ban and Mr. Trump !

@pseudomania,
Yup, fundamentals move the market, but technicals are still in play!
Look at the bottom of this drop.... there's a reason it stopped at 7856, and didn't go past the support at 7850.
The market is not ready to make the current waves fail ..... just yet!

@LLCoolRS, Nasty piece of work that was ... we had a nice bull pennant and it looked like it was a sure thing. in retrospect, i should have paid attention to the double top on the 15 minute. If 7850 fails, i think we are going deep south !

@pseudomania,
Thanks for the support psudomania.
This is a nasty market, full of risk that can break any amount of hope. You need king kong balls to trade in this space.

@pseudomania,
The sharp drop was the first sub-subwave of subwave5.
This sideways action is the second sub-subwave (ABC).
The the third sub-subwave will be the big daddy that crashes down hard!!!!!
