Predicting Price Targets with fibonacci. Because EW is trademarked by EWI (Bob Prechter), EW can’t be used for commercial interest, it is now creatively referred to as Fibonacci analysis/patterns.

Below is the EW picture (reposted). Your guess is as good as mine as to when V.5.v would be completed. Is close for sure. Is $480-$483, completion of V.5.v or V.5.i or V.5.i.(5).(i)? Again, your guess is as good as mine. Guess correctly, win BIG. Guess wrongly, either trapped in a big bad bear or miss the big bull. Given current strong Apple fundamentals, I would bet is V.5.i but even if it is V.5.i ...
23.5% retracement = $385, within price zone of V.5.iv
38.2% retracement = $326, within price zone of V.5.iii.(4)
50.0% retracement = $279, within price zone of V.5.iii.(2)
61.8% retracement = $231, within price zone of V.5.iiWhat about V.5.i.(5).(i)? So lucky meh?

Mace, the subcategories hurt my head. Tell me, does this boil down to… are we in a “5” (end phase) or a new “1” (beginning phase) ? If yes, I get it. If no, I’m going to need Advil…

Those represent different degrees or hierarchy if that is easier to understand.
End of wave five is always end of a higher degree wave one or wave three or wave five, you know that right? Put it another way, any wave can be subdivided into five (or three) waves right?
Hierarchy of degree in descending order:
Cycle degree: I, II, III, IV, V
Primary degree: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Intermediate degree: i, ii, iii, iv, v
Minor degree: (1), (2), (3), (4), (5)V.5.i means in Intermediate degree wave i of Primary degree wave 5 of Cycle degree wave V.

It makes my head hurt, and I still remember Prechter’s horribly wrong call on gold back in the day.

Mace, how do you see today’s price action fitting into wave forecast? Thx.

Looking for hole to hide like an Ostrich :oops:.
Please refer to post #103, $483 was broken through without retracement, next two targets are: $523.80 and $557.12.

The breakout ends the EW diwnwave danger?
But isn’t there some EW theorist who just saw the beginning of a half-off sale or something? Y’know, that one guy who doesn’t look so correct right now. Can’t remember his name.

Thanks, Mace! Okay, I have now had some wine (in lieu of Advil), so let’s see if I can make any progress here…
One question…I think this is the part that’s currently confusing me… Are the degree labels in post #103 and #113 consistent?
I do “visually” get the fractal stuff—every impulse wave (1,3,5) has 5 subdivisions and every retrace (2,4) has 3 subdivisions, right?

Thank you, Mace!
Since V.5.v = $419.55 to ..., the low point is $419.55 for this wave for pullbacks. Is this correct? So, it is possible to see $419 again before this wave is completed.
Upon completion of V.5.v, min retracement is to V.4 ($363.32), most common is to V.2 ($235) and worse case is to IV ($$78.20). I’m guessing that $480s is the completion of V.5.i.(5) rather than V.5.v and retracement is likely to $420, filled the gap.
Please refer to this chart, notice the rounding top since 2010? If continue, this year gain would be less than 26% i.e. end the year lower than $510.
Mace, is the rounding top since 2010-end the year lower than $510 still in play? Thanks.

Mace, I vote for being in a nice i of some sort versus v.
Or is that like one of Cinderella’s ugly stepsisters trying to jam her foot into the glass slipper? :cry:

Yes.
Continuing from post #103,
V.5.v.(1) = $419.55 to $454.45
V.5.v.(2) = $454.45 to $443.14
V.5.v.(3).(i) = $443.14 to $458.99, length of (i) = $15.85
V.5.v.(3).(ii) = $458.99 to $453.98, 31.6% ret of (i)
V.5.v.(3).(iii) = $453.98 to ... ; This is a powerful rally, Elliotticians call it 3 of 3.
(iii) = (i), = $469.83
(iii) = 1.618 of (i), = $479.63
(iii) = 2.618 of (i), = $495.48
(iii) = 3.618 of (i), = $511.33
... (iii) can go up to 7 of (i), = $564.93The past two weeks, I spent so much time looking at the 1-min and 5-min charts, I miss the forest.

Holy sh*t! In my last post, I was actually going to ask: is there any way we could be in an iii of some sort because this feels like a 3. But that’s because I thought 3 was the longest…then I went back and looked at rules, and it says only that 3 can’t be the shortest. At that point, my head hurt.
Okay, I like the iii thing…
Now, within our super-duper powerful V.5.v.(3).(iii), um, there’s going to be another 5 fractals. So will you pleeeeeease let me dumb this down to my level and drop the V.5.v.(3).(iii) notation for just a tiny bit and just go with the 1,2,3,4,5 that starts with the impulse from 453.98???

Mace, Fidelity’s EW thingy showing 519 target, and um, I take it below quote (also from Fidelity’s web site) explains the ostrich impulse… :(
Trading Considerations
Everybody is bullish in wave 5 as all the data suggests that the good times are here to stay and trend will continue. As an example look back at early 1999 and late 2000 when the naysayers warned of impending doom in the Nasdaq. Note that at the end of some five leg advances, such as we had at the end of Nasdaq mania/bubble, final tops may end up with high volume as a blow off.

That is the correct psychology. However, we don’t know how high it would go. Extended wave can be up to 7 times of length of wave one. For trading purposes, Elliotticians play it safe and assume 1.618 of length of wave one. There is no point to be the messager of bad news because you don’t know when wave five ends, two scenarios:
a. You said and wave five continues, everybody laughs at your silly forecasts.
b. You said and wave five completes, share price tumbles, they curses you for jinxing the run.Best course of action. Keep quiet and prepares yourself for the inevitable.
