The median line is NOT crossing market price activity that would invalidate it. It's because the low on 10/18 is a lower low and therefore creates a new fork. Because the 8/10 action is encompassed, is a part of the spread or within the spread from 7/19H-10/18L....it is valid. Print it and draw the spread line, bisect it and draw the median line...it works. >>my understanding that for a valid fork, the handle should not cross through significant price action prior to the bisect line.<< By the way I draw them this is correct, but not in this case.
