Hi josh
Haven't read your analysis with chart with trendlines since long.
Please post one if possible.
Thanks
Nifty took support at 5548 and bounced by 330 points in last two weeks. Every reader of this thread now knows that this is the last leg or 5th wave of the current rally which started on 4th June from 4470. As per trend lines, this 5th wave can reach anywhere up to 6175 or above to touch the upper trend line, depending upon its speed. (Please refer to weekly chart in my previous post also.)
I am still learning Elliot Wave (I read Vivek Patil's Elliot wave analysis regularly and some of the ideas in this post come from there) so I shall not go much deeper in it to predict the perfect top. That does not help much in trading. However, we should be cautious and keep stricter stop loss when market nears the upper trend line. Break of Trend lines on weekly charts help to recognise intermediate trend reversals of the market and those on daily/intra-day charts help in trading.
What if I am a newbie and do not know Elliot or much about Technical analysis? I urge all the newbies to read this entire thread by SAINT

This one by TradewithHunter is also very useful

Members will find that I have drawn a lot of trend-lines in the charts. One member had earlier posed a question why I am drawing so many trend lines. In my previous post, I have displayed 5-6 major tops. In all of them, Market had made some or other pattern which I was able to recognise at the time. However, I would have been able to recognise the trend reversal with the help of simple trend lines and made good money. There is no need to be expert in TA or to predict reversals.
As for the current rally, trend is up until the lower TL is broken. Members can observe that the 1st and 3rd rising waves consist of 5 smaller waves. I therefore presume that the 5th wave will also consist of 5 smaller waves and ongoing rally is 1st of the 5th wave. (Elliot wave experts can correct me.) Therefore, there are 4 more to go before market goes down. It is not possible to draw a trend line until the 1st wave concludes. Those who were not able to buy and participate in this rally can still make money by going long in the 2nd of 5th wave. However, they will have to observe intra-day charts to locate the suport and draw trend-lines since 2nd and 4th of 5th wave may last for only 2 to 4 days. I do not recommend shorting in these two waves.
How shall we recognise that the end of this rally is near? Look at the market tops in the charts in my previous post. Market becomes very violent at the end of the rally due to public participation It goes up-down frequently. I therefore expect the market to become violent and form some pattern at the end. That will tell us that the top is near and maintain strict stops. Thereafter a break of lower trend line will indicate reversal of trend.
