Last week I wrote: "Last week I mentioned: "I guess the B-wave is completed and the
index will continue to move down. First target is around 2700 where there is price
support, support from the PP pivot level of the month and support from the 100-day
average and the low side of the volatility band. The medium term target for the
completion of the C-wave is at 2450." The past week the index moved down to the PP
level of the month and price support. This support only lasted a couple of days and was
broken with a gap, now reaching exactly the 200 days average. A lower bottom both in
price and the SRSI confirms a possible pullback the coming week. Also, the possible
higher bottom with the low of wave A and lower bottom in the SRSI is a hidden
divergence also confirming that a pullback should be expected. However since we do
not have a wave C already we must expect a further down move after this possible
correction. The down target is around 2450. Read my updated comments here for

Last week I predicted a pullback writing: "A lower bottom both in price and the SRSI
confirms a possible pullback the coming week. Also, the possible higher bottom with
the low of wave A and lower bottom in the SRSI is a hidden divergence also confirming
that a pullback should be expected." I assume that this consolidation phase and pullback
is not yet finished. I expect a correction up to previous price support once more
becoming price resistance. This is the level around 2700. However since we do not have
a wave C already we must expect a further down move after this correction phase. The
first down target is around 2450. Read my updated comments here for the weekly
chart and monthly chart for more information regarding the longer term view.

A correction. If that is the case the index now makes the wave 2 correction. Since a
wave 2 correction can retrace up to 100% of wave 1, the index may go further up to the

Wednesday the index reached the low of the week just past the PP pivot level of the
month. From that point a pullback up was started but, still closing the week a few points
lower. Technically I expect a move down towards the price support at 2544 which is
also, close to the S1 pivot support, the low side of the volatility channel and the 100 day
simple moving average. Keep in mind that there is a good chance the index will remain
around the current level until the year-end, closing the year with some 25% profit.

Monday started with a gap up closing the day with a new higher high. The gap was
closed on Wednesday and some recovery on Friday closed the week a fraction higher. I
can only repeat: the index reached the nearest 161.8% Fibonacci target coming once
more close to the upper side of the up moving pitchfork. There is a negative divergence
between the index and both the Stochastic RSI and the price stochastic. We should
expect some pullback the coming weeks. This correction may just be a horizontal move.
But I think a correction towards 2400 and the 50-day average seems to be the minimum.
My advice is to swing trade short term only. Please read my comments on the weekly

Stocata S&P 500 Analysis: February 25, 2017.
Last week I wrote: "A bit as expected, closing the week higher, reaching the last current
Fibonacci target and the upper side of the up moving pitchfork. As I mentioned last
week, we lost the negative divergence and we now have a convergent move between the
SRSI indicator and the index. Basically this means we should now expect a short term
reaction for the last wave up and not yet a longer term reaction. I estimate that a reaction
of some 60 points can be expected, maybe after a further small move up. Please read my
comments on the weekly chart and monthly chart for more comments and the longer
term view."

As expected, more or less some 15 points up move the past week. A longer term
Fibonacci projection now reaches exactly the 261.8% target. With the convergent move
between the index and the stochastic RSI, we must expect in the first place a (smaller)
correction related to the last wave up. This reaction will be in the order of 60 index
points. The index is now at the upper side of the pitchfork channel and the stochastic
RSI is topping. The index is also far away from the averages. Possibly the reaction starts
the coming week. Please read my comments on the weekly chart and monthly chart for

As expected, the index remains in a small trading range, boucing between previous
index low levels and the 50 day moving average on the upper side and inside the BBS
channel. I do not expect big changes the coming weeks. Rather a flat move towards the
100 day average while the US Presidential elections are some 4 weeks away. Long term
I still expect a continuation of the down move. Read my comments with the weekly

The first down target 2150, I mentioned last week, was reached on Monday. Tuesday
and Wednesday closed the Monday gap. Thursday there was another move down once
more reaching the 2150 target, but Friday there as another move up to the upper side of
the small trading range, closing the week around the same level as the week before. The
index remains close to the highest top of August. With the US Presidential elections
November 8, we should not exclude a new higher high. However as I mentioned before
I do not expect a continuation of the long term up move. Contrary I rather expect the
long term down correction to be continued, but possibly it will only start after the
elections. The coming week will probably remain within the short term trading range.
Downward short term targets are at 2130, 2120 and 2095.

Monday there was an up reaction, but is was stopped by the resistance of the PP pivot
level of the month and a previous top (before the end of wave E2). This brought the
index back down again to the level of the 76.4% Fibonacci retracement. On Thursday
this level was broken with a low price down to to the S1 pivot support of the month.
Finally on Friday we see a pullback up to the 50 day average, closing the week slightly
higher. There may be some small further up reaction, but it looks like there is enough
resistance close by to stop an up move. I think we still should expect a further move
down the coming weeks.

Two weeks ago I wrote: "I looks like my prediction from already 3 weeks ago was very
good. There was a pullback creating an extended wave 2, but the last week of 2015 the
top of the pullback was reached and a continuation of the downtrend started. What was
my expected target 3 weeks ago? Between 1930 and 1920. We are closing the first week
of 2016 at, yes, 1922. On the daily chart we have now a valid 3.2 wave down. There is
room for a further move down. Target is the low side of the down moving pitchfork, the
S3 pivot support and the level of 1830. At that point we must expect some retracement.
Longer term targets are 1730 and 1600 which I consider the minimum correction we
should expect long term. Verify at the traderslibrary blog what I wrote on December 12,
2015: "Downward price targets are at: 1995, 1975 and 1925. Longer term targets are at
1830 and 1740. But most probably there will be some up retracement the coming couple
of weeks before moving to lower levels."

Unfortunately I could not write a comment last week. I had a heart attack and was in
hospital. A lot better for the moment, but fast feeling tired, it will take a bit more time to
recover. My comment a couple of weeks ago was correct expecting a first low around
1830 for the construction of wave 3.2 down. Starting a recovery past that point. It looks
like there is more room for a further up retracement. Probably to the level of the S2
pivot resistance and a bit further up to the S1 pivot level, the 100 daily average and
price resistance around 2000. But there is a convergent move between the index and the
stochastic indicator. This means that most probably we are now getting a correction for
the last wave down, but a continuation of the down move once this correction finishes.
The next longer term down target is 1740 and 1600.

I looks like my prediction from already 3 weeks ago was very good. There was a
pullback creating an extended wave 2, but the last week of 2015 the top of the pullback
was reached and a continuation of the downtrend started. What was my expected target
3 weeks ago? Between 1930 and 1920. We are closing the first week of 2016 at, yes,
1922. On the daily chart we have now a valid 3.2 wave down. There is room for a
further move down. Target is the low side of the down moving pitchfork, the S3 pivot
support and the level of 1830. At that point we must expect some retracement. Longer
term targets are 1730 and 1600 which I consider the minimum correction we should
expect long term. Verify at the traderslibrary blog what I wrote on December 12, 2015:
"Downward price targets are at: 1995, 1975 and 1925. Longer term targets are at 1830
and 1740. But most probably there will be some up retracement the coming couple of
weeks before moving to lower levels."

Last week I mentioned: "There may be some pullback, but I expect a further move
down to a first target at the level of the S2 pivot support of the month." The first part of
the week we saw the pullback almost retracing completely the previous week down
move. But Thursday and Friday finally ended with a lower closing price for the week. It
looks like we should expect a further move down towards 1920-1930 to complete the
wave 3.2 down. We have lower tops and bottoms and price moves below all
averages inside a down moving pitchfork. Most probably there will be a pullback before
reaching the wave 3.2 target.

On Wednesday, the index went down as expected to break the 200 day average and
down to the level of the S1 pivot support, close to the expected 2050. That creates a
valid wave 3 downwards. However not yet a wave 3.2 down. From that point the index
corrected upwards now finding resistance at the level of the PP pivot of the month and
the 50 and 100 average. There may be some further up move, up to the upper side of the
BBS channel and the upper side of the downward pitchfork. However I rather expect a
double zigzag down move creating the wave 3.2 down in a couple of weeks.

now. Because we have a negative divergence, second time in a row, with the weekly
chart, we should not exclude that a long term top is reached, even after getting first a
new top the coming day(s)...

The index still moves within the symmetrical triangle correction phase making a lower
top the past week, bouncing against the R1 pivot level of the month, and a larger move
down on Friday bringing the index back to the PP pivot support level. This last lower
top has a hidden divergence with a higher top in the stochastic RSI indicator. This is
basically an indication for a further move down to below the last wave 1 (3>2>1). We
can also draw a new fast moving down pitchfork. The S1 pivot support around 2030
would be the first down target. On the other hand we have to keep in mind that a
triangle is a continuation pattern. Here for a continuation of the up move. So, once more
hard to decide what can be expected the coming week. If I have to make a choice, I go
for a continuation of the down move the coming week.

The expert turned green again on Friday, moving outside the down moving
pitchfork after an up move the past week. Difficult to predict what to expect the coming
week. The convergent move with lower tops and higher bottoms, a triangle correction
phase, may be either broken to the upper or lower side. For the upper side there is
resistance from the R1 pivot around 2110, the previous wave 2 top and the 3.21 wave
top. All is very close and a new top will not require too much effort. The convergent

Trading with my new Modified Renko bars
I have been working on my own modified renko bars for Metatrader4. I have also
created an indicator and expert system to trade using these bars. Here is an example
over the past two weeks for the EURUSD forex pair.

Below my modified renko chart with a box size of 16 pips and an offset of 4 pips.
Below the chart the new renko count indicator showing buy and sell signals. I extended
the signal with green (buy) and red (sell) indications on the renko bar chart. All trades
are profitable, except the one buy and sell around February 9. You can avoid these
losing trades.

The short horizontal red line are the first two resistance points of a possible start of a
trading range. Once moving back up from a low, you can draw the horizontal green line
and program it to only enter a new trade when the top of the trading range is broken by
a closing price. And once you have the low of the trading range confirmed, you can
draw the horizontal red line and program it to go short only if broken to the down side
by a closing price. That way the two losing trades can be avoided and all remaining
trades are profitable. There is even a good chance to close the short trade before
February 9 with a better profit, closing it at the low side of the trading range.
