The setup displayed in front of you today is a prime example of market cycles repeating themselves, I have clearly illustrated on the chart the similarities between the two extended moves up.
I'll strip this chart down from top to bottom.
Firstly, you can see both moves up fell back to the 0.618 retracement level before finding a solid support.
Both carrying similarities in terms of time and price, you can see move 1 lasted 5 days and 20 hours counting up to 140 price bars.
Move 2, on the other hand, lasted 6 days and 17 hours counting up to 161 price bars.
Taking a look at the chart shown below we experienced a very similar move in terms of price structure as well.
Both start off from high to low, of course, followed by a further 3 lower highs and 2 lower lows.
From there we saw a lot of consolidation before price direction suddenly changed as both created a higher low at a solid level of support.
Following the higher low, both re-tested the previous high (lower high 3).
In the first situation this is what sparked the move up to 740.
Will we see a similar breakout to reach 900? Only time will tell.
