Long copper

copper hourly

copper 15 min

     As drawn on the hourly & 15 minute copper chart, price came out of the bull wedge on hourly chart but not spiked up. But on 15 min chart I can easily smell the upmove because of the smaller period exponential moving averages are crossing longer ones. 

    Price is 2.609 & Rs 407.30 on MCX India. I took the long trade. Let's hope for good. Jay Shriram.

Update first, 4th Jan 02.35 IST

copper hourly

     In last 24 hours, price went down & came back at the point, where we bought the long trade. Here is hourly chart & price is 2.610 but it is trading with 2 rupees discount on MCX because of lack of proper volume. It will uplift itself within next few hours.

     Price is quoting above black trend line, above 12 MA, convergence line of Ichimoku crossed base line upwards, Supertrend gave buy signal. Everything is with our trade. Let's hope for good. Jay Shriram.

Update second, 4th Jan, 09.34 pm IST

     Finally our trade is successful. Price went above ichimoku cloud, I am using trailing sl method to protect my profits now. CMP is 2.635. We bought long position at 2.609. On our local Indian MCX copper price is trading at Rs 408 above, we entered at 407 around. I am unable to understand Rs 2 discount on MCX price for copper. There is no big volatility on forex front regarding USD/INR. God knows the reason. Enjoy profits saying Jay Shriram.

WTI Crude price about to breakout

WTI Crude hourly

 WTI Crude price closed at $ 45.12 on Friday. Both bulls & bears are hoping the move in their side. But looking at the crude hourly chart, we can easily notice that the price is moving in a consolidation fashion in a measured Symmetrical Triangle or coil. Same way on the Ichimoku system, price is moving within the cloud, which is again untradeable space. Around the inventory timing at yesterday, price try to breakout from cloud on downside but failed in that attempt & turn upward. Again price had to give respect to the descending trend line where price respected the line for three times in recent past and turn around. So price repeated the same move for fourth occasion and returned in cloud making the " noisy " word true. As per Ichimoku system, price is within the untradeable entity because it is within the cloud. Both base line & convergence line are crossing each other again and again in same price band.

     Now looking at the coil, we can see that the coil pattern is about to end soon because space for movement of price decreased considerably. So price has to come out of it giving breakout to pattern within next 8 - 9 candles ( max ). If this happens, we can see both side breakouts as a character of coil. In both cases price will also come out of cloud also, which gives us more solid reason to enter in trade.
     In the case of upward breakout, major resistance and target of price will be $ 47, which is prior high. In the case of downward breakout price will get support in the region of $ 42.40 - 42.70.

wti crude hourly

     WTI Crude price gave upward breakout from coil & Ichimoku cloud. I am feeling little uncomfortable with bullish position but chart has no emotion. So as a rule of trading, I am holding long with strict stop loss below resistance line of the coil. Lets hope for good. Jay Shriram.

Update 2, 31/01/2018, 08.10 pm IST

WTI Crude hourly

     I booked all profits and exited from this long trade because I am not comfortable with long position in crude. I am seeing this spike as a pullback of a falling price in big timeframe chart ( weekly ). Bear flag is developing and nothing else. So guys, enjoy profits, Jay Shriram.

NG is turning hot again

ng 4 hrs 

Looking at ng 4 hrs chart , one can easily notice that ,'' after making downward breakout from coil, price made it's downward journey till 36 days old trend line ( black ) which is working as support line. 

After kissing support line price lifted upward but failed in sustaining the move and came down. But again it had to give respect to support line and lifted upward in no time. 

At the moment price is quoting 3.800 on nymex & Rs 266 MCX India. One can enter in buy position keeping stop loss below black trend line.

Jay Shriram.

Update 2 , 27/12/2018, 03.35 IST

I am holding the long trade. My sl did not triggered because I trade on MCX India & our market is closed when price came below black support line. I select the option to keep the trade alive. Now CMP is 3.445 & Rs 243. 

sell crude at cmp 4600

crude hourly 

As shown in the hourly chart, price reached 67.78 dollar mark. as per wave count and coil break out tgt, it should return back towards 62 dollars sooner or latter. So one can think shorting it. Mcx CMP p is 4600 INR. JAY Shriram.

Update 1, 01.027 IST, 25/06/18

crude hourly

Cmp of crude is 4700 INR or 68.83. We entered short at 67.70 or INR mcx 4600. our position is in loss of 1 dollar or Rs 100 mcx.

At the time of entering the short I thought that 5th sub wave of sub wave (B) will end at max 68.50 dollar mark, but after OPEC meeting huge short covering pushed 3rd sub sub wave of sub wave (B) 69 dollar mark, then downward 4th sub sub wave looking finished at the drawn mark in the chart. Now only last sub sub wave 5 remained, which can take price to max 71 or can end before that and then new C impulsive wave will start on downward. So hold this short position with patience for good profit. Jay Shriram.

This is a link from where I took this wave count on 2 hour chart. You can read analysis by visiting the website. My count is little different from this count.

Crude hourly.

Difference between first count & my count is that, I think the 5 the wave of sub wave ( c ) is over making a double top. In first count that expert predicts that the 4th corrective wave of ( c ) is ongoing, after finishing this wave new 5 the wave will take price towards 71 dollar's mark & that ll be end of major corrective wave B. Then impulsive wave C ll start on downside. 

Let's see what will happen . Jay Shriram.

Update 3, IST 08.22 pm, 26/06/18

crude hourly

I was wrong in calculating 4th wave of sub wave (c). consequently expected end of major wave B mismarked. Now it's clear that wave 4 of sub wave (c) ends at 67.75 and last 5th wave is going on, which can take price up to 70.70 ( max ). That will be end of major corrective wave B. Thereafter major impulsive wave C will start on downside. As a rule it should go below 63.40. Expected mark is 62.50 dollar's Jay Shriram.

Update 4 , 08.04 pm IST, 09/07/2018

Frankly speaking, my wave counts failed. I was not correct. Fundamental news like Iran sanction & big -9 inventory draw pushed wti price near dolor 75. I stucked in position. I have puts, which has very less value. only 7 trading days remained to expiry of contract on mcx. Steps taken by Trump and Opec are giving some hopes to escape but time remain very less. If I have futures shorted inspite of puts, I can roll it over. All is upon destiny now, Jay Shriram.

Update 5, last update, 7 pm IST, 13/07/2018

crude daily

Today I booked all the losses. Tuesday is expiry of the contract on mcx but today is tender day for options, so I sold all my puts at throw away price. Booked all losses.

As shown in the daily chart price has to come to kiss 65 dolor mark, it touched resistance line of the ascending broadening wedge, made coil and got downward breakout. It is making bear flag at the moment, so 65 is on the cards, but now that is useless for me. Jay Shriram.

sell NG

ng daily

As shown in the daily chart of Natural Gas futures, price made break out from the bear wedge. The wedge is not perfect but it can work. CMP mcs is 199 . Try to short it, 2.87 is the confirmation mark of the bearishness, it confirms that rally is over. Jay Shriram.

ng daily

ng hourly 

As shown in the daily chart, price went downward after this post but took support and went up to 3.013 or mcx 204.50. Today is inventory day for ng and inventory is not bullish ... EIA Natural Gas Inventory: +91 Bcf vs. +85 Bcf consensus, +96 Bcf last week. so you can see in hourly chart, price moved in bear wedge for full day and break out downwards. This wedge is not fulfilling all the requisites of toching R line & S line but it is working with inventory which is favouring us . Let's hope for good. Jay Shriram.

ng 4 hrs 

Look at this 4 hrs ng chart. Coil or symmetrical triangle is there. As requisites of the valid coil is 2 times touch to resistance line and 2 times to support line, this coil has 2 touchs of price to R line and 1 to S line, ongoing wave is downwards. So expect this coil to break downwards. This is very powerful pattern. Jay Shriram.

update 3 , 01.06 pm, 25/06/18

ng 4 hrs 

As shown in the NG 4 hrs chart, price consolidate in symmetrical triangle ( coil ) and made downward breakout. We are back in the profit in this positional short. coil is powerful pattern, very few times I saw a failure of this pattern but price can reverse back & touch S line of coil but that line will work as resistance line for the price because of the rule of polarity. so hold your short position for big gains. Once 5 time support of 2.87 will break, price will tumble down heavily. 

Thank you for visiting my blog, Jay Shriram.
