IPM Trade Matrix - Trade 4 (Part 1)

IPM Turn Window Information has been e-mailed to Subscribers

Trade 4, as mentioned previously will be short trade because of reasons mentioned previously.

Trade 4 can be a very difficult trade because of 2 reasons:

1- Market can resume its decline phase at any time
2- Market's correction (up-move) can take on multiple forms

Primarily, there are two triggers for this trade outside of turn window. Elliott Wave analysis is one method.

According to Elliott Wave analysis there are two possibilities for this current decline:

1- ABC: This would require sharp rally to 1810 level
2- 12345: This would require a break below today's low in the near future

As per Global Dow's wave structure, market has breached the low level and will start following scenario 2. As far as other indices are concerned, they are kind of divided between scenario 1 and 2. We will surely find out over the next few days.
