Remember, all corrections take the same general path as they are all the result of human beings and their unconscious reaction to fear and greed. They just take longer or shorter depending on the movement prior, and the movements may be more or less exaggerated. This comparison in no way suggests that price will definitively do one thing or the other. It is presented as an alternative view to the current lagging indicator narrative comparisons that have been permeating the market since February.
All the other 2014 comparisons use indicator positions to attempt to make us believe where we currently are in relation to that period. The problem with that is that it only tells us a story in relation to price at that time. That in no way gives us any reason to believe that we are where they say we are now. Instead, let's take a look at volume and price action beginning with the Selling Climax (SC). Notice there is no SC until January of 2015. We, of course, had one in February of 2018. Take some time and look at all the points highlighted in both time frames, from the corrections prior to 2014 and 2018 (green and red boxes), to the price action and volume comparisons. While there are no guarantees either way, it seems to me that anyone seriously considering every other way that 2014 has been presented should at least be taking a look at it this way as well.
(NOTE: The large candle prior to the SC in 2014 would appear to be an upthrust during redistribution.)
Be sure to share this chart with everyone you can throughout social media, and ask those who view it to do the same, so that we can get a dialogue going and consider where this may fail in comparison or where it may present a compelling case. At the end of the day, no one knows exactly where price may end up at any time, so the only way traders can protect themselves to any extent is to understand the other side of the story they may be adhering to at the time. Only then can they apply appropriate risk management to their positions.
