An Exciting (and Rare) Bullish Setup
Today's closing selloff in the Nasdaq set up a rare and potentially powerful bullish reversal pattern known as the Bullish Three Drives pattern. This pattern is characterized by three selling waves of equal magnitude, with specific and equal fibonacci retracements and expansions at each wave. Here is a chart of this pattern as it has set up now:

I learned this pattern from the book"The Harmonic Trader" by Scott Carney, but have never seen one set up so beautifully in the NQs before. It is nearly perfect, and stands out like a sore thumb! Notice the symmetry of the size of the moves and retracements, in price and time!

There is more: Such a pattern's reliability is greatly enhanced if it completes at a major fib retracement or projection in a larger timeframe. Well, today's close in the Nasdaq 100 Index was at the EXACT 50% retracement of the Q4 rally off the September lows to the December top:

This pattern, if valid, should trigger a reversal to the upside within a few points of the reversal zone of 1412 - 1416. The reversal could be significant - 100 points or more!

I am taking this trade now, having bought at 1416.5 at 4PM today. I will put a stop just under 1400 (even number support) and risk 16-18 points, but with a reward potential of at least 4-5 times that amount. Less aggressive traders could wait to make sure this reversal zone holds tomorrow, and still be long for most of the expected move.

Note - This is obviously NOT A SURE THING, but is a very high probability setup!

Good Trading,

Phoenix
