AUDUSD: Revised Wave Count + Wolfe Wave + POTENTIAL Bat

2015년 8월 28일

After re-analyzing this pair with more focus (admittedly, I was all over the place yesterday as almost EVERY pair I follow is setting up for some kind of major move), I have revised my wave count. Taking a closer look at the wave (iv) to see where are the high probability turning points, I've also located some patterns as well. There is a possible Wolfe Wave forming as well as a POTENTIAL bearish bat that both may signal the end of wave (iv0 and the beginning of wave (v0. So both patterns are trend continuation patterns.

Be aware that although the Wolfe Wave point 5 is set at the top of the ending diagonal, point 5's in a Wolfe Wave are allowed to exceed the diagonal in a "throwover". Yes, the ending diagonal is also a bearish wave pattern and again, point 5 can be a "throwover".

The POTENTIAL bearish bat completion may also signal where the end of wave (iv) will be and the beginning of wave (v). That would be a very good place to sell.

MY TRADE PLAN
I have my SELL orders set at the completion of the bat pattern. However, I will monitor the price action closely as there is a possibility that prices may fall just short of completing the bat before reversing. If I see bearish price action before the bat completes, I may trigger the SELL orders before then as there is a strong possibility of wave (iv) ending around this area. So saving a few pips by waiting for the bat and then potentially missing the trade would be penny-wise but pound-foolish. Again, this is allowed under my trading plan so you must follow your own trading plan. I will usually only short-entry patterns if they are trend-continuation patterns as this one is. I will not usually do this on a counter-trend pattern.
