April 29 - FKLI & FCPO

Hi All.

A quick post to summarize past week's movement on FKLI & FCPO.

FKLI (Daily)

Past week close below 1,700 for consecutive two days appeared to be a false alarm. Price quickly reverse after it & continued upward, overcame 1,710 resistance & subsequently made a new high at 1,720.5.

Today saw an inside bar formed, we shall see which direction it will breakout to tomorrow.

In the mean time, I'll watch the uptrend line extending from previous significant low of 1,585 closely, as its violation may bring about a furious plunge, as those seen in Nov'12 & Jan'13.

FKLI (Monthly, Long-term view)

FKLI has been stuck sideways within the 1,600-1,700 range for 7-8mths since early Sept'12.

I put up a 10yr chart on our index futures & marked out major trends defining the past decade of FKLI history.

Notice how congestion areas (shaded in magenta) near significant tops (then all-time highs) has shown tendency of signalling prominent trend change ahead.

Also, notice that the climb from Sept'11 low of 1,295 to current height above 1,700, it forms a rising wedge pattern.

In fact, the whole post-subprime bull run, from 800 low to current, is itself a huge long-term rising wedge, where the top of it passes through subsequent all-time highs of 1,535 (yr 2008), 1,580 & 1,597 (yr 2011), and the latest 1,705 & 1,720 (2013).

Wedge patterns, or ending-diagonals as regarded by Elliotticians, are often found at end of motive cycle (Wave 5 or Wave C; in upward & downward moves), especially those where the Wave3 has risen too fast & too far (i.e. extended waves).

We now have a coiled-Ending diagonal (the best way to describe it that I can think of...lol), one within another, on two different degrees (Cycle & Primary) of the Elliott Wave hierarchy.

In plain terms, we are near end of the post-subprime bull run, which at the same time, represent the end of a Super-Bull market which could well backdate to the post-Asian-financial-crisis low of 265 (Sept'98).

FCPO (Daily)

From previous low of 2,250, price rebounded strongly back to 2,305-2,315 area. Later, it broke above the 2,315 resistance & rise swiftly to cover the 2,325-2,335 gap (Apr15).

However, Bulls hesitated at 2,334 high, Bears thus confidently stepped in & press price back down to 2,315.

Today, Bears took it another level down to below 2,300 & 2,280 support, touch intraday low of 2,260, below short-coverings brought price back up to close at 2,277. A long red formed on the daily.

The 2,250-60 support band may continue to hold, as a pin bar formed on the 2,260 level as sellers cover their positions in last-minutes of trading.

Shall it fails to hold, we shall see accelerate drop to find the major support band at 2,220-30, eventually.
