Hello, traders According to elliott wave count, If BTC has completed it's macro wave (IV), then we can expect it moving to complete it's macro wave (V). In this case if recently impulse move is counted as micro wave (i), then we can expect reversal from 81-79K region very soon. Otherwise, if micro count gets Invalid, then reversal can be expected from up to 76-70k. Important key level is breakout of 95k which would confirm reverse in trend.
Bitcoin has been holding this parralell channel for quite awhile now. So it's been very bearish with money flow and bearish diverging oscillator on high timeframes.. if it breaks below the channel it could surely be the bear market until next BTC halving!
Currently, I foresee two possible scenarios for XAUUSD. In the more optimistic scenario (black label), the recent correction is assumed to be wave ii of wave (v), which suggests that XAUUSD still has the potential to strengthen toward the 3,177–3,306. However, attention should also be given to the bearish scenario (red label). If XAUUSD fails to break above the 3,167 resistance level, it is likely that wave 3 has already been completed, and the current movement is part of wave 4. In this case, XAUUSD may decline toward the 2,489–2,832.
Hello traders, In today’s analysis we’re focusing on the open CME futures gap left behind by Bitcoin between $79,610 and $83,925. Historically, these gaps have a strong tendency to be filled — not always immediately, but eventually. This gap now acts as a magnet for price and should be considered in any short- to mid-term trading strategy. Key Points: • The gap fill zone is between $79.6K and $83.9K, and a move into this range could prompt a market-wide bounce. • Despite the setup, confirmation is critical before entering — price may dip further before reclaiming the gap. • Short-term trade opportunities may arise on correlated assets while BTC works to fill the gap. It’s essential to factor in broader market volatility when planning trades. Bitcoin may move aggressively within this zone, and without confirmation, entries can be risky. High volatility often leads to fakeouts, so patience and discipline are key. While the futures gap provides a technical target, it’s not a standalone reason to enter a trade. Use your trading system for entry signals, and don’t ignore macro conditions or sentiment. This gap is a useful reference point, not a trigger on its own.
Traders should pay close attention to Nikkei 225 futures if the price returns towards 30,400. We’ve now seen decent bounces from around that level five times, including earlier today upon the resumption of trade after the weekend. While momentum signals are firmly bearish, with RSI (14) and MACD both trending lower, the former now sits at its most oversold level since the pandemic plunge in early 2020. That means the market may be vulnerable to even a minor shift in the prevailing bearish sentiment. For now, the preference remains to sell rallies over buying dips. A clean break of 30,400 would open the door for a run towards 28,400 or 25,600 — the latter a key technical level given how often it thwarted bearish moves in 2022. On the topside, resistance may be encountered around 33,300, marking where the price rout stalled last Friday. A break of that would put 35,120 on the radar. Good luck! DS
Spent too much time coding and cycling today, so no time for a video. Now we know for sure: it was a deeper correction, and it’s indeed too close to a bear market to be ignored. What's next? I think the tariff war merely anticipated something that was bound to happen sooner or later: the AI bubble burst. For me, that explains why the NASDAQ entered the bear market first. Big tech was very bold in announcing billions of dollars in AI spending, yet many investors—mostly clueless about what this means for future growth—weren’t ready to accept it. However, the Trump maneuver isn’t straightforward and could lead to real complications. Without diving into macro analysis (which I admit is beyond my expertise), here are some scenarios derived from the chart: A – We bounce off the confluence of two major supports: the ascending wedge, the lateral from the 2021/2022 top, and the AVWAP anchored there. It’s a real possibility that we could simply bounce from here and reach a new ATH. However, even in this scenario, I doubt we’ll see the sun before the dark. The AI bubble has to burst before the real winners in that race can show their value. So, we may experience a blow-off top, only to return to bear market territory—possibly by the end of the year or next year. B – We lose this critical support and head for the hills. C – We bounce off the next level down and march back up (very unlikely, in my opinion). D – We complete a bear market with over a 50% correction. The downside could be harsh, with many whipsaws and false hopes along the way. I’ve never been this bearish in my life. Yet, I remain very bullish on AI. I’m at least 10x more productive with AI, and I believe everyone will be—and so will every company making the right moves. That will create amazing opportunities for traders. But until then… brace yourself.
And just like that, the Death Cross has formed the right shoulder for the Inverse H & S idea I formed on March 14th We may sit a bit more downside to retest the 50WMA at $76k for confirmation If we get a V-shaped recovery tomorrow, this very well could be the bottom for CRYPTOCAP:BTC
Hello traders! This article shares with you a strategy employing two famous indicators that have stood the test of time and used by professionals and amateurs alike. A solid trading plan needs at least one solid strategy which will be your bread and butter. You can always add more strategies or game plans to your repertoire but you need to master one. Trading can be as complicated or simple as you make it. To make sense of it all, you should always try to be realistic and stick to a trading plan which is "simple and stupid" so that you free your mind from overthinking and focus on the market movements instead. A good strategy, along with constant market trend analysis, good risk management, news awareness and emotion control can ultimately transition you to being a consistent profitable trader. Indeed, there are times where the odds will not be in your favour and you will have losing trades. However, the key to success is to think of trading as a game of probability and developing a winning edge that ensures you are profiting more than losing. A 1:2 RRR is the least you have to accept when entering a trade, else sit tight and wait for the next opportunity. As Jesse Livermore quoted, "It never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It always was my sitting. Got that? My sitting tight!". RSI Developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. In 1978, the relative strength index is a momentum indicator that measures the speed and magnitude of price changes. At 70+, RSI is considered overbought and a retracement in price may occur. At 30-, RSI is considered oversold and price may go up. The middle line is the mean of recent prices, usually during a 14 days period. BB Developed by John Bollinger much later in the 1980s, BB is a volatility indicator which measures the speed and extent of price changes. A wider band signals high volatility and a narrow band signals low volatility. When price reaches the upper band, the asset is considered overbought and price may retract. When price reaches the lower band, the asset is considered oversold, meaning there are less and less sellers in the market and price may go up. The middle line is usually a simple moving average, showing the mean price across a time period. RSI + BB strategy The combination relies, and truthfully so, on the fact that the price of an asset usually hovers around its mean. Unless there are significant macroeconomic changes and news are strong (ultimately forming a new trend), price does not deviate much from its mean. It continues and builds its existing trend and moves up and down the moving average. By meauring both the momentum and volatility of the price, while keeping an eye on the direction of the trend, a trader can place small trades with a minimum 1:2 RRR as the asset moves in a range, an uptrend or a downtrend. The indicators give you insight on where to buy and place your SL and TP. Trading set ups - RSI 70+, BB touching upper band, no news, BB horizontal (showing a ranging market), price at major resistance zone - sell because price is likely to move through the moving average towards to lower band - RSI 30-, BB touching lower band, no news, BB horizontal (showing a ranging market), price at major support zone- buy because price is likely to move through the moving average towards to upper band - RSI 70+, BB touching upper band (price climbing up the BB ladder), BB moving upwards (uptrend), strong good news - buy because price is in uptrend and trend is likely to continue - RSI 30-, BB touching lower band (price falling off the BB cliff), strong bad news - sell because price is in downtrend and trend is likely to continue Sitting tight -Playing on a 1hr timeframe, there won't be many instances when all these stars align. That is when you sit tight and wait. - When price is hovering in between the RSI grid and BB band - sit tight and wait because the odds are not in your favour and it is impossible to predict which way price will move. Let the market do its thing, protect your capital and wait for the market to show you what to do next. Note - When the conditions are met, always enter the trade as soon as you get confirmation. If you are late in entry, skip the trade and wait - Place your SL just above the upper BB if selling or just below the lower BB if buying - TP is essential so you can lock in profits, especially in ranging markets where price quickly touches the BB band and bounces back. If you are in a trade and not able to monitor it, a TP ensures you have closed your trade at your desired and predicted price. TP is placed close to the lower band if selling or close to the upper band if buying -Ensure that all your other criteria such as news, RRR and emotion control are met to enter a trade. If one is not met, this trade is not for you. - Familiarise yourself using alerts. You have to be able to be present when the opportunity presents itself. Tradingview's lowest paid plan gives you 20 alerts, which is more than sufficient if you are focusing on 4-5 assets only. Alerts add to your winning edge and enable you to be trading the best set ups when they form. Please do not hesitate to share your thoughts if you do use RSI and/or BB and have had positive outcomes. :) GL to all!
