  • Currencies

  • AUDCAD - Daily Trade is Live. Sell stop to entry triggered 1.01, Stop levels are at 1.035 & 1.028. Possible targets are .99 and .96. Analysis : Extended bearish Butterfly. Clear im-

    pulse wave up from January low. One could easily fit this wave structure as a possible wave 3 of 5 up secondary wave. As trade is developing we were glad to see a bearish

    cup and handle pattern at the top structure.

  • AUDCAD - Weekly On the weekly scale the pattern is even more convincing for a reversal here. We have really nice ABC retracement symmetry within the Gartley pattern.

    Wave C target possibility is 0.92 to 0.88. We suggest using the daily chart for execution.

  • AUDJPY - Trade was triggered on 4/15. Hard stops have shifted down and are now at 96.60 & 95.92. Clear corrective type wave structure from A to D. X is very impulsive, which

    should contribute to a well behaved reversal here. Targets remain 93 and 89.

  • AUDUSD- 1/2 of position was stopped out at 0.9355. Remaining position stops are now at 0.941. We suggest waiting for a break below Entry Zone 2 at 0.9214 before

    adding or re-entering this trade. Analysis : Price bounced off the A C trendline, we could be making a wave 2 up retracement that would suggest a strong down

    move if it breaks entry zone 2.

  • EURAUD - Trade is Live. 1/2 of position was stopped out at 1.47. 1/2 Buy stop entry triggered at 1.488 still Very nice AB = CD wave setting up here at .618% of the pre-

    vious impulse wave. Clearly a nice area to get long with the prevailing trend. Current stop for remaining 1/2 @ 1.45, Minimum expected target is 1.59. Risk is price

    breaks lower to complete a 5 wave impulse down. (see daily chart)

  • EURAUD daily - Trade is Live. Possible wave 5 leg will take out our stops and push towards BAT support. If stopped out we will revisit entry levels due to higher time

    frame bullish pattern.

  • EURCADBearish Head and shoulders confirmed. Measured move target possibility 1.44. Right shoulder is finding support at 1 : 0.618 ABC. Aggressive traders with

    bearish EUR bias could short here with stops at 1.53 and 1.52.

  • EURGBP WeeklyPossible bat support at 0.79

  • EURJPYTrade is Live, Sell stop entry triggered 140. Stops are at 142.94 & 142.14. Measured move target 134. Analysis : Corrective Symmetrical triangle.

  • EURNZDTrade got stopped out at 1.587.

  • EURTRYWave 5 underway. Possible 5th wave measures a typical move very close to Bullish Bat support near 2.73

  • EURUSD Sell stops to entry waiting at 1.367. Stops at 1.424 and 1.415 would be used if filled. Potential downside targets could be 1.24 or new lows long term. Weekly

    scale corrective EW pattern suggests that the current up move from the 2012 low could be at a critical reversal juncture. The Gartley PRZ of 1.401 has not been test-

    ed yet but we think this pattern is of high enough rank to merit early short positions for aggressive traders.

  • GBPAUD Retest complete of the primary head and shoulders pattern neckline. No trade recommended due to low structure rating but suggested stops are shown

    for those whom want to take the risk. (now 1.837 & 1.822). If we do see a reversal here then I have laid out possible wave 5 moves that would fit the pattern sym-

    metry. 1.74 would be a typical wave 5 move. H&S measured move is 1.71.

  • GBPCAD Complex head and shoulders pattern confirming. Measured move target 1.77

  • GBPJPY bearish Rhombus confirmed . The Length of X to A : B to C is 1 : 0.618. Also it is hitting the double top resistance level from the March and April highs.. A pro-

    spective wave C move target would be approximately 168 if the current move is assumed to be B in nature. We are not suggesting a trade setup here but for those

    who like the idea prospective stops would be at 175.63 & 174.52. Cypher support at 169. and potential wave 3 measures 1.65 typical length.

  • GBPNZD Trade is Live. 1/2 of position stopped out at 1.943. Current Stop for remaining position 1.928. Measured move targets at minimum at 2.00 and we suggest

    taking off all of the total position if this is reached since the target 2 is beyond what we see feasible in the next move.

  • NZDJPY weekly Very high ranking pattern symmetry. Clearly a 5 wave EW impulse with a Bat-Crab in between wave 3 and 5. When we get a high ranking Ew

    pattern that also has a Harmonic relationship in the 35 wave termination points its a very high conviction trade setup. We recommend 200% normal position size

    for aggressive traders. Sell stop to entry at 86.00, with stops at 92.98 & 93.99 respectively. Minimum expected targets are 78 and 70.

  • NZDJPY Daily Look. Double top about to confirm here for weekly pattern.

  • NZDUSD Previous Trade Fully Stopped out at 0.876. unfortunately our initial trade got fully stopped out and reversed right after. But we are going to stay systematic

    and wait for a re entry out of the current broadening pattern since we think the harmonic setup is still valid. If sell top to entry fills at 0.85 our 2 targets would be 70%

    of Broadening Pattern Measured move at 0.835and then 0.8150 harmonic target. Stops will be place at 0.881 and 0.876 if filled.

  • USDCAD Nice turn from 2 weeks ago suggested bearish 5-0. Target still un reached.

  • USDJPY Weekly complete 5 wave EW cycle. Prospective ABC retracement measures.

  • USDSGD potential bullish Bat, PRZ not yet reached. I have measured out the typical wave 5 symmetry and its quite curious that it is very close to the bullish bat sup-

    port on the larger term pattern setting up here.

  • Energy

  • WTI Crude Oil Trade is Live. 1/2 of the original trade position was taken off for profits at 99.00. Current stop for remaining 1/2 is at 102.58. Target 2 of 94.00 is next

    place we will take profits if position is not stopped out before then.

  • Brent Weekly Large scale symmetrical triangle.

  • Interest Rates

  • US Ten Year Treasury Note Trade is Live. Buy stop entry triggered 125,05. 1/2 normal position size suggested. Current stops at 123.95 & 123.52. Measured move tar-

    get is 128. Bullish bat in early April supported the Head and Shoulders bottom pattern.

  • US 30 Year Treasury BondTrade is Live. Buy stop for a long entry was triggered on 5/1/2014. Weekly Reverse Head and Shoulders bullish breakout. Stops are at 132.

    possible target measured move is 143.

  • US 30 Year Treasury BondDaily Look current up wave could find harmonic resistance at 138.04. we will move stops up tighter when this level is being tested.

  • Indices

  • S&P 500 Futures Daily Look. Very complex Triple Top / Diamond top here. But we wont rule out a ABC correction awaiting more upside. We have evidence that a

    down cycle (seasonally sell in may and stat cycles) suggest a down move into June (Gartley support ) is most likely

  • NASDAQ 100 Daily Look, small scale Gartley support at 3433. But as the pattern is developing its clear that it is a Head and Shoulders top. The Neckline of this pat-

    tern is a make or break level meaning if we test on the harmonic support and start to move higher a bullish move up through recent highs is expected. While if we

    get a confirmed break down below neck line we suggest a small short trade, with sell stop to entry at 3400. If filled stops at right shoulder are suggested with a 3100

    measured move target.

  • DJIA Could be setting up a head and shoulders top. We are currently forming the right shoulder. If we see a reversal down a sell stop to entry could be recom-

    mended at 15920.

  • Russell 2000 Futures Despite other correlated markets showing signs of bearish top patterns TF is sitting right at bullish support . To hedge our bearish trades in YM /

    ES we are suggesting a possible long trade here in TF if we get a bullish catalyst. Buy stop entry 1140, with stops at 1065 and 1049 if filled. Targets are 1201 @ 1260.

  • SHANG HAI INDEX Trade is live, Entry triggered at 2185. Stops are revised to 2166 for 1/2 and 2156 for 1/2.

  • Jakarta IndexUpdate : ENTRY Suggestion Not triggered yet. High ranking bearish Gartley pattern on the weekly scale. There is also nice symmetry inside the X and

    C legs. This indicates there is some well behaved wave energy occurring in this market and should be high conviction trade. We recommend %150 bigger position

    size than normal.

  • Bombay Sensex IndexUpdate : PRZ was hit on a bearish Bat Crab (1/2 way between). There is also high ranking symmetry in respect to the 5 wave sequence

    that we labeled starting at the Harmonic A point. On a long term basic we feel like this market is way over extended and the potential retrace is quite substantial.

    Sell stop to entry is suggested at 22000 with stops at 24133 & 23639. Minimum hold target would be 19000

  • Metals

  • Gold Weekly Possible bullish head and shoulders reversal pattern off of the Major harmonic support level zone. If neck line is breached at 1400 a small buy stop to

    entry for long trade is recommended with stops at 1196 and 1153 respectively. Minimum measured move target would be 1650.

  • Silver Nice Bullish Bat setting up here . Suggested Buy stop entry 20.00 with stops at 1/2 @ 18.55, 1/2 @ 18.19 with Targets at 22 & 24. Also clear bullish three drives

    pattern down here at the D zone.

  • Palladium Trade is Live. Sell stop entry triggered 800. Stop are at 844 and 832.50 for 1/2 of the position for each. Bearish Deep Crab. With nice structure rating. This

    complex three drives high suggests there is distribution up here at the PRZ. This could be a good spread trade with Gold's bullish set up. If Gold and Silver fail support

    here it should drag this leader down.

  • Grains & Softs

  • Soybeans Weekly. There is two separate harmonic patterns here both with resistance PRZ at the 1520 +/- region. Clear ABC up swing suggests a new down impulse

    should form. Suggested entry zone is 1440 for a sell stop to entry short. With stops at 1646 & 1604. Targets are the recent lows at 1280 and below at 1050.

  • Soybeans Oil Daily Look

  • Wheat Immediate Sell Signal In accordance to the newsletter we will go short at market first open of Wheat on Monday. Bearish butterfly reversal with 5 wave se-

    quence preceding pattern. On fill stop loss orders will be placed at 781.75 for 1/2 position and 767.65 for 1/2 position. Minimum Target is 658.50.

  • CoffeeBearish ALT bat. Great trade. We did not enter due to pattern rank.

  • Cocoa Trade is Live. Sell stop entry filled 2866. Stops are at 3172 & 3089. Bearish Crab Pattern on the weekly scale. Nice structure rating here. This is a high proba-

    bly trade set up. We recommend using 150% larger size on this trade. Targets are 2600 and 2200.

  • SDPR Sector ETFS

  • XLP Consumer Staples Three drive to a high top pattern here (1.618 and 1.272 ratio between highs) Also in the last 2 swings a bearish rhombus has formed with nice

    price and time symmetry. Sell stop to entry at 43.50 with stops at 46.44 & 47.45. Target at 39 or EPA Line

  • XLU Utilities Three drive to a high top pattern here with a Bearish Butterfly as well. Also in the last 2 swings a bearish rhombus has formed with nice price and time

    symmetry. Sell stop to entry short is suggested at 41.75 with stops at 45.76 and 44.99. Targets of 38 & 35 to the downside.

  • Dow 30 Stocks

  • CSCOABC retracement of Wave 2 or B. Small entry suggested below 22. If filled stops at 25.29 & 24.55. Target 20 & 17.

  • INTCMeasures

  • KOFractals. Low structure rank. No trade suggested.

  • MCD Weeklyfractals

  • MMM dailyGarfly

  • MRK Trade is Live. Sell stop entry filled 58.00. Current Stops at 58.23 & 57.50. High pattern rank complete EW 5 wave up cycle. Targets at 50% and 61.8% 52, 51 lev-

    els. Nice bearish butterfly to compliment the 3 to 5 wave reversal zone.

    Methodology & Strategy

    Harmonic any component of a periodic oscillation whose frequency is and integral multiple of the fundamental frequency.

    The periods of neighboring waves in price action tend to be related by the small whole number. - J.M. Hurst

    Our aim with this report is to only focus on identifying the best possible trading patterns that are occurring in any given market. We utilize a variety of algorithms to

    find specific geometric ratio wave patterns that have favorable risk to reward projected movements. Most of our trades are harmonic patterns and ideal symmetry

    elliott waves in the tradition of H.M. Gartley, Larry Pesavento, Ross Beck, Scott Carney, R.N. Elliot, Ian Copsey & Bryce Gilmore. We blend all the best nuances that

    we have studied and thoroughly tested from each of the noted analysts and have also developed some proprietary tools of our own for trade qualification, entry

    and management. In terms of Elliot Wave theory we analyze waves in isolation for our primary trading time periods (daily & weekly). We dont believe in the

    subjective nature of manually counting elliott waves but rather only focusing on 5 and 3 wave patterns that have perfect symmetry in regards to time and price. In

    essence we focus only on waves we recognize to have high probability fractal structures. Meaning only if specific geometric symmetry is identified we then

    investigate for a trade entry point. When the market is creating wave fractals that are not amongst our high probability pattern repertoire no trade is taken or

    forecasted.

    Common Newsletter Nomenclature

    Pattern RankOur proprietary measurement system ranks patterns based on many variables within the internal structure as well as the macro technical environment

    (longer term waves & trend). We will highlight these patterns but if the rank is too low we will not recommend a trade.

    PRZPotential Reversal Zone, is also defined as our clearly defined level that a pattern must reach / test at least once in order to qualify as a harmonic pattern

    Pattern NamesBAT, BUTTERFLY, GARTLEY, GARFLY, CYPHER, SHARK, ALT BAT, CRAB, DEEP CRAB These labels refer to specific harmonic 5 point fractal structures

    that appear in the markets. Please refer to the USER GUIDE here > http://aetheranalytics.com/images/AetherConspectusUserGuide.pdf or full specifics and details

    for each pattern

    Detrended OscillatorOne of the only 2 indicators we will refer to in our charts is the Detrended Oscillator this is a proprietary calculation and is very similar to

    RVALUE indicator laid out by Mark W. Helweg & David C. Stendahl in there book Dynamic Trading Indicators. We have found this to be a great tool in analyzing the

    over extending to the up and downside of a markets normal behavior. It is also very useful for finding divergence point between price and momentum.

  • Appendix

    These standing wave patterns represent the lowest energy vibrational modes of the object or complex system. While there are countless way by which an object

    can vibrate (each associated with a specific frequency), objects favor only a few specific modes or patterns of vibrating. The favored modes (patterns) of vibration

    are those which result in the highest amplitude vibrations with the least input of energy. -AE

    Trade Management

    We primarily recommend trades that have a minimum of 3 to 1 risk reward ratio. Initial risk (stop loss) levels we often utilize are (ATR 14, 1.618), (ATR 21, 1.272), (ATR

    14, 2.5) (ATR 21, 3.0) from the entry price. Then a trailing stop from the current price is used with the ATR measures previously outlined. Entry technique is the only

    somewhat subject process in our trading methodology. Users should always be aware that if a trade risk to reward ratio is less than 3:1 then the entry point, risk point

    or minimum targets need to be revised. We always show 2 potential target areas for each trade. Once Target 1 has been reached we recommend at a minimum

    putting the trade stop loss at break even. Typically we take 1/2 the position off at Target 1 and trail stops until target 2 is reached or we get stopped out.

    Position Sizing

    There are many different ways we suggest utilizing position sizing for your portfolio. For the purpose of this newsletter we will simply suggest our confidence rating in

    the context of each trade. When we mention Normal position size this is size that you have determined to be most optimal position size for your specific risk

    tolerance and trade management style. We will suggest 1/2 (50%) normal or 3/4 (75%) normal for trades we have slightly less confidence in & 6/4 (150%) or 8/4

    (200%) for trades we have more confidence in. This is only a suggestion and should only be considered as opinion or commentary from us for each trade. We never

    ever recommend betting the farm or going all in in any trade because it surely leads to ruin. One of our favorite Portfolio position sizing formulas that we

    recommend is the following:

    Percent Volatility Sizing -{ Position Size = (CE * %PE) / SV }- Where CE is the current account equity (NAV of portfolio, %PE is percentage of portfolio equity to

    risk per trade (2%, 3% and 4% are recommended), SV is the stocks 14 day ATR
