LTT, I'm glad you asked this question, because it falls in line with my next post, so I'll answer your question in lieu of it.
Look to the far right. I outlined what will be a 1-2-3 formation, and in this case, it is anticipated, because the 3 is not fully formed. Off to the left I highlighted the most recent 1-2-3 formation in the ovals as well as the personality of the 1-2-3 formation. The 2 gets broken, and almost invariably it retraces back to the point of the 2 then continues on.
This brings it up to date what is happening now. The blue TL was drawn of the daily. Current level is 5156. Any intraday move should be contained at that point. That level seems to make an excellent entry for the short. The 2 is 4655. Once that is broken and corrected, it would make for a nice additional entry to ride the next leg in to the 4500's.
4xpip - question for you, since you mention about this pattern often.
Do you see a 1-2-3 formation on the weekly charts of Nifty?
