US30 weekly chart
US30 posted a swing low of 33035 on the week 21st of June 2021. What was support, now becomes resistance. The TL system highlights bespoke resistance between 33076 and 33102.
US30 four-hour chart
The intraday chart highlights a slightly dis-jointed bearish cypher pattern known as a BAT. Completion of the pattern is between 33053 (88.6%) and 33285 (161.8% rally from the first bullish wave). This will often result in a move to the downside.
US100 weekly chart
The TL system shows bespoke resistance at 13478 and 13520. The weekly chart highlights the potential for the next move lower, in a CD leg, to complete a cypher BAT pattern close to 7775 (88.6%) and 7466 (161.8% extension from the swing low of 11039).
US30 intraday (15-minutes)
The intraday chart highlights a 261.8% extension level at 13479 (from 13069-13225). Elliott wave enthusiasts might consider this to be completion of a 5-wave count.
US500 four-hour chart
TL system highlights resistance at 4171 and 4176. A bearish cypher BAT pattern has been completed at 4140.
