A nifty trick you can perform with the Hidden Pivot Method is predicting long periods of tedium based on the presence of “dueling impulse legs.” We found them in copious supply in the chart of the Dollar Index, but also, correspondingly, in the euro’s intraday and daily charts. The markets were flatlining on this day, but we tried nonetheless to force a bullish trade in the E-Mini S&P. Alas, it continued lower without tripping a “camouflage” entry signal. We also discovered a possible breakdown shaping up in Crude, with a similar pattern already developing in Copper.
