Bitcoin at 50%BITSTAMP:BTCUSD has retraced from the low it made off the last ATH to a 50% retracement level of the move. Some traders are shorting this and it is a logical choice. Traders can know that their risk lies just above the 50% in the 53k-54k range. Breaching this stop range would likely lead to a retest and possible break of the high. Holding this level is a sign to retest and break the low.

How I simplified IchimokuI've been a student and trader of Ichimoku for over 8 years. It has been the foundation of my trading strategies which have evolved over time. A few years ago I wanted to simplify my charts so I distilled down the essence of the indicator to 50% retracement levels. In this video I show examples of using either Ichimoku or it's fundamental premise of retracement levels to find trading opportunities and hedge against market corrections.
Picked up CDAYCaught a long at 10:00am off a spike in NYSE:CDAY . I like the long term retracement level it is holding and the lows that confirm it.
It's a disaster: SRPTThe market teaches traders lessons every day... often times reinforcing them to seasoned traders like myself. I happened to have been in but was out of NASDAQ:SRPT before this disaster today. It's a reminder why you MUST take profits even if sometimes you feel the FOMO after you do...
PM 50%This week I've been watching my scans for signals that fit my strategy. I have not yet seen potential trades that fit my strategy; bullish nor bearish.
Today I got two signals that fit my criteria on NYSE:PM and NASDAQ:LRCX ; shorts. PM is looking to hold a 50% level. LRCX is setting up a potential double top. I'm not yet sure of the market sentiment coming into this year. Shorts in a bull market are obviously a low probability. These two are going to serve as test cases to watch from the sidelines. Depending on if they work or not I will have my first clue of 2021.
RCL for the long termStories aside about a vaccine and return to normal I like the price action of NYSE:RCL . What the price has done is brush up against the 50% retracement level several times this year and finally has broken above it for a week and come back this morning to spike out and confirm it now as support. This presents a great LOW RISK trade because you know where your stop needs to be (below this morning's low).
QQQ Key RangePrice action on NASDAQ:QQQ this week has established a range following the potential false breakout of the past All Time High. This morning's dip touched a level that was the 50% retracement of the prior weeks' move that was also Resistance turned Support. Breaking above 304 or below 298 is going may define the move going into the end of the year.
RCL and DAL BULLISH Recovery StocksSome price action this week got me very interested in stocks that were all the rage through the pandemic trading in 2020. NYSE:RCL is a trade I posted about yesterday that was up 4% on the day today. I like this price action to go more. NYSE:DAL is another stock in recovery that a friend had me look at and it has almost identical price action. He also took a LONG date option and I love it... he's getting PAID FOR PATIENCE!
Interested in Comp/USD at this level.I like what I see on this asset at this level, though I wish there was more price history to validate support because it just recently "bottomed", but we all know that could go out the window on a significant fundamental move or maybe even another push higher by BTC.
Reasons:
1.) I like that it is near bottom of value and definitely in the location where I seek out potentially profitable assets.
2.) It was embedded oversold for a few months and now has emerged and even put a double bottom in, if it remains that way after close.
3.) There is clearly a lot of work to be done on the volume profile, but a return to the 50% level would put us above value and at significant return.
4.) There is a cute double bottom working in price action.
5.) Multiple moving average convergence, YES!
What I would like to see improve: COINBASE:COMPUSD
1.) Would like to see green volume impetus
2.) Would like to see OBV turn up and cross moving average.
3.) Wish I had some support from past price action.
I also like relatively low circulating supply.

Where NKLA stoppedI love to find examples of where my favorite technical level works. NASDAQ:NKLA is a great example of a stock respecting the 50% retracement level from its down move back in September.
I didn't play this move but my trade in NYSE:NIO is definitely benefitting from the crash this week in EV. If only we could have seen this coming! See my video below for why I did.
Everyone forgot about AAPLOnce the hype dies down all the hype traders stop looking at the stocks. That doesn't mean there are no more opportunities. Ignore the hype and stay consistent looking for your setups... even and ESPECIALLY when a stock looks BORING! That's the time for opportunity when no one else is looking!
Bitcoin Price Action UpdateI wanted to make a video followup to a post I made over the weekend as BITFINEX:BTCUSD was flirting with a swing timeframe resistance on the 1h timeframe. Price has taken the bullish case by breaking that resistance. I share my thoughts on what this means for the future and if we are going to break that all important past-All Time High or not!
