RY, again

Extrapolating the above, that is applying the same logic,it would seem that the Royal has not yet completed its first leg down;

RY world oct 2011

The problems with this one have been discussed in some 5/10 different blogs before. First and foremost there are three tops that are within a fraction of each other. If you use the US$ denominated chart the highest one is  clearly the second one the second one. That leaves questions for what happened from Sept. 2010 to Mar. 2011. That would have to be a wedge that would strongly suggest that the 5th wave, already miniscule, failed and that the real top should be top3. The very clear channel that follows seems to agree with that interpretation. This , of course, rhymes best with the preponderance of the evidence above, in the previous blog.

Assume, for the sake of the argument that this is correct, then there are now a total of 8 individually recognizable legs within the channel. 8 is not a logical number , it has to be 9 in order to make a 5 wave move! If that happens it should again be a buy, for a larger trade.

In the same vein as the previous blog, the Royal may actually be a buy for a trade! It seems to have a contracting diagonal. Should be good for about $8 plus a dividend of almost 5%. It is normal for a single wave to extend within a 5 wave sequence. If the top was in April (it failed marginally) then we have a nice 5 wave sequence with the 5th wave extended . $52 would be the 4th of previous degree and also about 50% retracement.

For the record, $44 has been our initial target for some time now.

RY, DB and GS

These three financial institutions do not have that much in common but they tend to go in the same direction much of the time;

The Royal is down roughly 25% and,if the count is correct, not yet at an initial low. As indicated in a previous blog $43 is about the mean level over the past ten or so years (see previous blog), and it seems to want to go there. The DB and GS are following similar counts;

There are a number of variations and with the RY and DB it is not entirely clear when the down-trend actually started but what they do have in common is that none of them are complete!
