Bearish Candlestick Patterns Warn of a Killer Third Wave Down Approaching
On June 15, 2009, the Dow Industrials marked an "outside-down" day which bearishly engulfed the "real bodies" of the nine preceding days' price action. I had never before seen a pattern such as this. We took it to be a bearish warning of particular significance. Since that time, through today, prices have developed two descending "one-two, down-up" patterns, the latter of which is still not complete, and would not be complete unless prices fall below 8259.60, which was the low on June 25. When and if prices fall below that low, then we can be reasonably sure that prices will have embarked on a "third wave down," which should mark the end of the bull rally that began on March 10 - and, therefore, that prices will be on their way to much lower levels.
Quite apart from the June 15 "outside-down day," today's price bar in the Dow Industrials shows us a bearish "Dark Cloud Cover" pattern, which is shown as a "Bearish Engulfing" pattern in the S&P 500 and also in the NASDAQ Composite.
Typically, a bull rally in an underlying bear market (which is the situation today) does not come to an end unless and until there is an aura of optimism and even euphoria which is reminiscent of that which obtained at or near the prior price peaks - in this case, early in year 2000 and again in September and October 2007. We do not see any such degree of optimism now, which leads us to believe that the Great March Rally of 2009 is probably not yet over, and that we could yet see Dow prices in the 10000 range.
Nevertheless, we have no choice but to go with the evidence that we see, not the evidence that we think we should see or that we would like to see. A highly-skilled practitioner of Elliott Wave aalysis wrote - decades ago - that "the hardest thing is to believe what you see."
In this particular case, much as we would like to see evidence of a final rally price high which is attended by a high degree of optimism, it may in fact "be different this time."
The key will be the low of June 25. If that low should be exceeded on the downside, especially on a Closing basis, then the chances would be at least fair that a third wave of a third wave is in progress, the Rally would be history, and we could look to much lower prices ahead.

Last week was definitely one of the most action-packed weeks we’ve seen in recent Forex history. The FRWC just kept dropping one bomb after another! My sources on the inside tell me that this is just the beginning and they’ve got even more lined up this week, but for whatever reason you somehow missed the incredible stuff they sent out, they’re keeping it available for another day or so.

The Candlestick "Hammer" is one of the most consistent and reliable bullish reversal patterns of all. It appeared in the Daily charts of several of the major stock Indexes on Friday, February 6, 2010. We pay special attention to it when it appears in several Indexes on the same day. It would seem that Index prices are poised for a rise, either on the next trading day or within several days.
Having declined about seven US cents in recent days, the Euro is about to embark on a partial upside correction. The Candlestick and Candelaabra Reversal Patterns clearly show that the correction is imminent. At the top of the correction, bearish signals will likely appear, which will then ignite a long and persistent decline in the Euro.
Dow Industrials prices havNe been in a powerful upsurge since November 5. This movement is reminiscent of the Tulip Bulb Craze, the South Seas Bubble, and the stock market environments of October 1929, of January 2000, and of October 2007. Candlestick Reversal patterns which have now emerged are telling us that the upsurge has a limited life expenctancy now.
For many months, sentiment among the professional commentators and among the public has been that the US Dollar is fading and doomed to extinction. Not so fast: It has reached a major Low as against other major currencies, and is poised for a strong revival as the Euro, the Pound, and others lose relative value.
There are many indications that the Rally is ending. The Candlestick price bar of September 23 "bearishly engulfed" four previous price bars; even normally bearish experts have finally thrown in the towel by switching sides and becoming bullish; and we see a new wave of mergers and acquisitions, which we can expect to see at the very top of an economic cycle.
Stock Index prices appear to have topped today. Candlestick reversal patterns this week indicate that prices will probably decline soon, if not immediately.
It is immensely gratifying to discover Candlestick reversal patterns which are not described in the literature. I found two of them recently, which have proven their potency in the Great Rally of 2009.
Investment analysts are spending much time and effort arguing over whether the Recovery will continue strongly or not. The question arises? Have they missed the point - is the Recovery already history?
