Channelbreak
[GBPUSD] CHANNEL BREAKOUT [SHORT | 1H]As you can see on the 1 hour chart, price has broken out of channel and dropped to pivot. We can see a bullish engulfment candle at the pivot suggesting price may be moving up to retest the channel. I am hoping to get a rejection at the 0.382 fib level as that is a demand zone. I will be waiting for price to see if it could move up to my demand zone and see if we see a rejection of that price level to enter the trade for a short position.
CERN triangle breakout coming -- bullishCERN has been forming a triangle as it decides between two different parallel channels. I expect the longer-term upward channel to prevail on the strength of impressive analyst ratings and the overall strength of the healthcare sector. Look for an entry below 71.63 in the next week, with stops below the triangle.
MBUU upside breakout possibleMalibu Boats just got some big analyst upgrades on the strength of upward earnings revisions. It's been in a gentle upward channel, but I actually think it could break out and establish a steeper upward channel leading up to earnings in September. Watch for the upside channel breakout and then buy the pullback.
As always, this does not constitute investment advice, just an idea as to how the market will move. Full disclosure: I know the founder of this company.
Ringcentral bearish - target 101-104Ringcentral has moved decisively out of its upward channel and begun to form a downward-sloping one (charted here in a very preliminary way). It's a fairly solid stock, and it should find some support in the 101-104 range. That'll be your buying opportunity for a long play.
Tesla-- bullish above the trend lineTesla has formed an upward sloping trend channel and is currently at the bottom of the channel.
It's currently at a minor resistance level, so it could break the channel Monday. If it does, look for breach of the 203-205 support zone to confirm an oscillation down to support at 188, forming a triangle chart pattern.
Alternatively, we could bounce off the bottom of the channel toward a stronger resistance zone at 220-223. This resistance zone repulsed Tesla's attempted move higher on June 11-12, so I'd expect a channel break here. The highest I think we go before breaking the channel is resistance at 230.
Tesla is on track to deliver a record number of vehicles in June, which could work as a catalyst in its favor. On the other hand, it has massively negative earnings and horrible analyst ratings headed into a market downturn. Yesterday the US government denied its application for tariff relief, and this has been a year of bad personal publicity for Elon Musk. Personally I wouldn't buy Tesla; I'd just look for the optimal time to short.
This is why you suck at identifying Elliott Wave channelsIf you have read the holy bible of elliott waves, you would know that Elliott wave guidelines suggest that you:
1. draw a straight line from end of wave 1 to end of wave 3
2. draw a parallel line from the end of wave 2 (parallel to the line we made in 1.)
3.if end of wave 4 is not on this line, adjust projection for wave 5 by drawing a parallel line to the line connecting end of wave 4 to end of wave 2, at end of wave 3.
4. Extended may break the channel :)
Note: there is no mention that the smaller waves within these waves have to be inside the channel. only the starting point and ending point are considered.

Some thought on this pair:
The pair is kind of wedging up. It is creating a point of pressure in that price will have to either do one of three things.
(1) Bounce
(2) Break
(3) Float
These three things could happen in a combination kind of like a boxing combo. Or as simple as one. These 3 principles are relevant to price action at its current price and range. Keep a lookout for this pair. Whether I am correct or not I think in the next 140 days you will either catch a lot of pips trading a up/down - trend. Once the trend is established I know I will be on a lookout. Wish you luck in the ability to catch the opportunities while you can.
