Raking the Sand in the Garden

I love those zen sand and rock gardens, with the careful raking suggesting rippling water.

Double tops (1734:1710) and double bottoms (1330:1356) create a number of lines in the sand. Toss in the next bigger picture (ie, the 9/11 lows) and the chart looks more like a raked Zen garden. One image of this I showed recently was the Andrews drawn off prior gaps. I have also described likely turn points as "ranges". Combining retrace methods with the Andrews turns the words into a picture.

The 1488 "line in the sand" is a particularly strong one as it results from two rallies. Going back to the idea of the lines created by double tops and bottoms, this current swing is itself moving within a range, from 1472 to 1492. Call it the shakeout zone. If it indeed turns out to be a very short term bottom.

So, how does one know if there is indeed a reversal or a continuation at this time? I don't think anyone knows, but the Andrews can be a guide. There has already been a significant reversal with the recent island top. There is pretty decent support given by the confluence of two Andrews (red & purple) right here (1480). IMO, it may be "locked" to below 1492:1519 as the more "powerful" rally(the lime-green eminating from the stronger rally pivots) suggests further correction in order.

Should price break down through the red-purple forks, it would suggest the full move to the lime-green, whose target right now is 1452, also the 50% retrace of the little rally to 1573.

At last, over the rim
of the waiting earth
the moon lifted with
slow majesty
till it swung clear of the horizon and rode off,
free of moorings
