BEHAVIORAL ANALYSIS OF MARKETS
Commonly Used Terms
ZOS-
Zone of Strength. The market will typically rally INTO a ZOS. The magnitude of the price move into a ZOS tells us a lot about market’s conviction and velocity.
ZOW-
Zone of Weakness. The market will typically sell off INTO a ZOW. The magnitude of the price move into a ZOW tells us a lot about market’s conviction and velocity.
Note: a ZOS may occasionally take the form of a slightly declining (sagging) mkt if, after price passes through the ZOS the mkt is preparing to free-fall. In other words, “strength” can technically take the form of simply holding a range, or even sagging lower, prior to the real “weakness” which would take the form of a cascade decline.
Note: a ZOW may occasionally take the form of a slightly advancing (lifting) mkt if, after price passes through the ZOW the mkt is preparing to melt-up. In other words, “weakness” can technically take the form of simply holding a range, or even lifting slightly higher, prior to the real “strength” which would take the form of a powerful advance.
Magnet-
A magnet is generated by peak human emotion as measured in any one of my multiple model fractal time frames during a powerful uptrend or downtrend. A magnet will typically be revisited many times as price tries to decide if the bulls or bears will eventually prevail and unless the magnet also triggers a capitulation signal, the trend will always resume in the direction that price was originally traveling BEFORE creating the magnet.
Retest level-
A retest level is created by a fast-market move that prevents price from hesitating at a proprietary price level. Once created, a retest level MUST be revisited at some point in the future. Retest levels may be used as price targets when trading– especially when price has traveled a long distance from the retest level as price will snap-back very quickly similarly to a mean-reversion move. The 1929 and 1987 stock market crashes were both examples of price revisiting a retest level.
Vibration level-
A vibration level is simply a retest level that has finally seen contact (has been “retested”). Retest level always convert to vibration levels once retested the first time and will always see an a,b,c,d,e rhythm of price swings above and below the vibration level.
