$YM_F ( Dow Futures) Elliott Wave: Forecasting The Rally From Blue Box

In this technical blog, we are going to take a look at the past performance of 1-hour Elliott Wave Charts of Dow Jones Futures ($YM_F), which we presented to members at elliottwave-forecast.com. In which, the cycle from 12/26/2018 low ( $21452) unfolded in an impulse structure & showed a higher high sequence in bigger time frame charts called for further upside. Also, it’s important to note that the $YM_F was having green right side tag pointing higher favored members to look for buying opportunity at the blue box areas in 3, 7 or 11 swings. We will explain the ideas & structure below:

$YM_F 1 Hour Elliott Wave Chart from 12/03/2019 NY update, in which the cycle from 10/03/2019 low unfolded in an impulse structure where wave 1 ended at $27088. Wave 2 ended at $26588 low, wave 3 ended at $28128 high, wave 4 ended at $27643 low and wave 5 ended at $28197 high thus completed wave (3). Down from there, the index made a sharp decline in wave (4) pullback to correct the rally from 10/03/2019 low before a rally could resume higher again. The internals of that pullback unfolded as zigzag structure where wave A ended at $27740 low. Wave B ended at $27852 high and wave C managed to reach the blue box area at $27392-$27284 100%-123.6% Fibonacci extension area of A-B. Thus offered our members a buying opportunity looking into more highs or for 3 wave reaction higher at least.

We did show the idea of 7 swings lower in wave (4) after the reaction from the blue box but made it clear that after 3 swings in the correction, 7 swings don’t need to happen so any longs from blue box would want to stay long with a risk free position. Later on, we discarded the idea of 7 swings lower in the correction based on market correlation and here’s $YM_F 1 Hour Elliott Wave Chart from 12/12/2019 Asia update, in which the index is showing reaction higher taking place from the $27392-$27284 blue box area as we expected. Allowed members to create a risk-free position shortly after taking the trade. Since than the index has bounced strongly & managed to made a new high above 12/02/2019 peak confirming the next extension higher.

I could never believe that people actually trade Elliot Wave on such a short time frame.

So my question is are you just buying at the market when your level is reached or is there some ‘breakout’ component that triggers the trade?

Isnt there always the chance of catching a falling knife?
