APT trade ideas
APT EW recountAfter careful review, I've come to the realization that my initial count of an impulse may not be correct. The reason is because the supposed 4th wave is much too deep in tradition EW analysis. It retraced 61.8%. What is a possibility is that this is a massive corrective structure. THere a set of zigzags to start, and now we are in b of B that looks to be making a triangle. We are in the midst of the triangle and as long as we above 20, we can say the triangle is still in effect. I purposely did not draw the trendlines to hit their targets and left it loose because there is still possibility we are in wave C of the triangle. IF we get a deep correction but still above 19-20 area we could be confident we are in wave D.
CrossroadsWe are in the 5th wave and rn we are at a crossroads. We could subdivide the 5th wave, which is most likely or the 5th wave is over (orange). The other options show what will happen if the 5th wave subdivides. The purple path is if we are in wave ii of 5 and the blue path is if we are in wave (ii) of v of 5.

The decoupling of the VIX from CV stocksIn the beginning of the year COVID-related stocks (I have here a chart of APT but you overlay almost any early CV play and see similar pattern) were following identically the peaks and troughs of VIX. Then in Feb- March, while CV stocks hit a peak, VIX continue to move up significantly the rest of March. This was the beginning of the decoupling. While there has been some relationship left (a good example is in June VIX and CV stocks bottomed around the same time) they by in large are doing their own thing. This is important if you are looking at VIX solely for CV trades.
Correction over or not?The B wave in my updated count for corrective waves linked below is very short in time. Usually this is not the case. THe market can consume more time and this new count fits best with what may occur. Also the market has not topped yet. I am looking for a simultaneous top in the markets and a bottom in the COVID related stocks. So, I will be expecting a grind upwards for a few more days. If we explode higher instead than the gameplan changs.
Updated Count for Corrective wavesI know the 5th wave doesn't look very impulsive. but it is a 5th wave after all. Also the 4th wave has a very deep retracement. This count shows a zigzag. I think the C wave will be truncated. I'm looking to buy over 17, if we go below 17 there is high a possibility we could fall big.
