21.8.2019 - Crypto CapitalizationHi traders! Today we will look at the cryptocurrencies capitalization chart to complement the previous analysis . If we want to know what the market is like, it is not enough to do just a bitcoin analysis. The world's leading traders are doing the following analyzes - bitcoin, BTC dominance, cryptocurrency capitalization and long / short ratio . After such a comprehensive analysis, we have a real overview of the market. Last week we focused on the dominance of BTC and today we look at the capitalization of cryptocurrencies. The capitalization chart shows the total amount of capital in all cryptocurrencies. Bullish scenario We are in a triangle from which capitalization will rise up . If you find the chart of capitalization and bitcoin very similar, you are right. Their charts are almost identical. However, they have a few differences, and at this point the capitalization of cryptocurrencies seems to be ahead. The space in the triangle appears to be smaller, and therefore it may be capitalization that first leads to possible growth . Bearish scenario In this scenario, we track the channel we've seen on the chart for 2 months. In this case, there would be an even more radical decline , which could stop at $ 200 billion. So over 72 billion will go out of the crypto market, a radical decline. Most likely all altcoins and bitcoins would drop quite sharply. Even though this possibility is quite extreme, it is still possible. At this point, we must wait to which side capitalization will go . As long as we are in our narrow corridor, it is still irrelevant. To see the confirmation, we need to break through either the upper trendline or the lower edge of the triangle . If we break through the upper trendline and we can fix it, we will most likely go up. If we break the triangle formation, we will go down. However, until we break the structure, the next direction is questionable. May the crypto by with you!

Breaking down Bitcoin's correction & my tradesRight now is undoubtedly a time when Bitcoin enthusiasts & investors are glued to what the price is doing. I see all kinds of analysis, predictions (different from analysis), fund managers tweeting horrible looking technical analysis with a MACD and a few unconfirmed trend lines, drive by media reports from their “experts” and so on. To be honest, we are at a point as of this writing that has neither invalidated nor confirmed any kind of directional bias. As I’ve mentioned on twitter, I am not in any trades currently, and for a reason. The question for me then becomes, what scenarios am I looking at? where are my trades going to take place looking forward? what validates what? To do that, I first need to get a handle on what has happened, & what validates a trade for me. Corrective So far the only confirmation of any kind of correction being over is the 3-3-5 structure that ended at 9049. The yellow box is currently unknown. That corrective structure corrected the final leg (5th) of our rally by hitting a common Fibonacci retrace area (first image below). Looking at the overall rally (second image), we haven’t even come close to correcting any of the common retrace points. At minimum I want to see the .382 fib level hit. More commonly would be the .618, that being said the market doesn’t HAVE to do anything. Taking this overall picture, I now look at what has happened in our unknown area in the yellow box above. Coming out of the final 5 leg drive and painting a swing low we see a bullish OBV divergence (first image below). Taking it down to a lower time frame to study the rally up, we see the same div but no real significant spike in cumulative volume (second image). This tells me the rally was correcting oversold conditions & not a true impulsive structure that identifies the bottom of our correction. Taking this information I now want to look at the possibilities of what this is. Seeing a potential 5 impulse structure upwards with weak volume leaves a couple scenarios. At the end of this I will get into my trades and how I play each scenario. Scenarios Scenario 1: This structure is not impulsive looking at this time frame & actually a 3 drive with some long wickage throwing off the visuals of the structure. Really the structure is better viewed on the hourly and every fib level hit perfectly for a 5 impulse structure, but I omitted that for an overall scenario analysis. Looking at the fib retrace point to identify this possibility, I see it hit the .5 fib mark but fell short of a common .618 correction. If this scenario is true, then we should see a break of the low at any time leading to a violent drop to the 1.23 level at 8402 which is the maximum of a 3-3-5. However, this scenario now doesn’t make sense, remember we made 2 sets of ABC corrective moves to begin the correction, corrective patterns that start with a 3-3 end with a 5 unless it is a triangle. If the drop from 13222 to 9049 was wave 1, and this rally from the low was a corrective 2, then this is wave 3 and its minimum end point in a falling 3 is the 1.23 fib extension of 1. That would take us to minimum 6989 invalidating the maximum of 8402 in the 3-3-5. Again, markets don’t have to do anything, but technical analysis helps with deductive reasoning. Scenario 2: Since the above scenario doesn’t make much sense, we look at what the targets would be if the 5 impulse structure coming out of the low was an A drive. This correction currently is a B, and our targets are derived from the AB for the C. If this scenario is true, then we can confirm the larger corrective pattern at the end of C. I’ll get into what that is at the end of this scenario. The A wave commonly hits the .5 fib level of the prior trend, as I noted above, it did. Corrective wave B (our current structure) should be attempting to find a bottom. It has been hovering around the .764 & .854 fib level, these are common points. However in a flat ABC this can be up to 100%. There I have my invalidation point which also confirms funky scenario 1 by breaking the low. Taking this into account, we would make a five impulse structure up to either the .618 (minimum), the 1, and lastly the 1.23 fib level. Invalidation would be at the 1.618 in pink which confirms the bottom of the prior structure (we will get into that in scenario 3). Since the deep retrace level of this B (if we count the wick) then this looks more likely to hit the minimum .618 or 1 fib level. Scenario 2 is actually a big scenario since we are actually confirming a larger corrective pattern called a double combination. We confirmed the larger ABC talked about in the beginning, this corrective ABC we are forming would be the X of a WXY and the first correction is labeled as W. To confirm it as an X in a double corrective combination we need to see a swing high printed on the Daily of at least the .5 fib or any of the yellow fib lines below. Now I begin to see some collusion in this analysis, it so happens that the 1 fib of the C is actually at the .5 minimum of the W move. If this is the case, then at that confirmed swing high of the ABC, we take the fib extension and target 61.8%, 100%, or 123.6% of wave W to find our bottom. To speculate on where the bottom would be in this scenario, I have placed the end of X (speculation until a confirmed swing high) at that .5 of the yellow fib. We now can see some potential targets for the bottom that can be refined as the correction happens to a more exact point. Scenario 3: This scenario is bullish overall and that confirmed 3-3-5 ABC mentioned at the beginning was the bottom. Likelihood of this doesn’t seem high as we have issues with volume and overall structure but let’s look from an analysis point of view and identify the confirmation. Going back to the pink line I mentioned in the third paragraph of the last scenario, the pink 1.618 in the image below identifies this rally as a 3rd impulse considering we made a sub 5 in the potential A coming out of the bottom. It’s pretty simple to identify when it happens: If the daily continues upward without making a confirmed swing high to reach that target, then we have a confirmed bottom and the corrective A that I discussed in scenario two becomes a impulse 1. Conclusion & Trade Strategy So yes I get it, using Elliot Wave theory leaves open a lot of possibilities. I applied this as a means to make sense of the market, I still use Ichimoku, the ALPHA indicators and volume analysis when basing my trades, this correction requires additional detail which is what I have done. Also, the fib extensions in scenario 2 & 3 could adjust slightly if we break 9111, this is assuming that is the bottom in scenario 2 & 3 since there is not much wiggle room till invalidation from that low. On to my strategy… If scenario 1 confirms by breaking the low, then I open a market short on the break with a stop at 11120. At this point I feel something is wrong with the overall market & not operating normally. I am ok with a market order as a hedge there; Take profit and management will be done after. However, after doing this analysis I find this unlikely because of the invalidation that is detailed in that scenario. Either way, perhaps I have made a mistake somewhere along the line, if it takes place I’ll be prepared. If scenario 2 (I find this most likely) takes place, as a day trader I will long the first pull back of the rally, I use a number of technical confirmations to identify such and I will update this idea with those as they play. Scenario 2 has a 5 impulse structure in play like the first move from 9049 to 11120. So my long will be placed at the end of the corrective wave 2, with a stop at the current swing low (impulse 1). Take profit will be left open but as the .618 fib level is crossed I will manage the trade by placing a trailing stop with a tentative quantity of double the average true range indicators reading. At this point, when we get a swing high on the daily confirming the X wave of the larger double corrective pattern I will open a short to ride the rest of this correction to the take profit points I will update once that confirms. If scenario 3 takes place then I will be good and in a nice long, I don’t find this scenario likely yet. As possibility, this is why I am not placing a take profit in scenario 2 and rather using a trailing stop. Either way I am protected if I set my trailing stop right in scenario 2. Thats all for now, I will update this as it plays. I trade off of confirmation and currently we have none. The above details the possible scenarios and hopefully gives you insight into the way I do analysis and trade.

EOS - The biggest loser of the last daysEOS - The biggest loser of the last days Hello traders! We have been experiencing huge downturns in the last 2 weeks. Today we look at the coin, which probably got the most out of the TOP 20. We will speak about the EOS coin. At the beginning of June, this coin traded at $ 8.67 and is currently at $ 3.70 . This is more than a 60% decrease per month and half. Especially during last days EOS is really falling. Its decline is spread over 3 waves in the form of ABC correction. However, the last wave, the C wave, is unusually long, so it is possible that the correction will continue . From the whole fall we got almost to 0.786 retracement . What to notice on the chart right now? Never catch a falling knife . What does it mean? If the market is still falling, never go into such a brutal decline. If the price for a coin seems attractive to you, never jump into such dumps and wait for the reflection . What to watch on this coin? 1. Generating a higher maximum and a higher minimum of at least 1H, or 4H 2. The Friedrichs indicator will show the BUY signal at 12H and 1D 3. 3. Divergences of RSI at 1H and 4H Some of these conditions have been met yesterday, but we must also consider the market as a whole. If we analyze the coin against the dollar, it is strongly bound to bitcoin. EOS looked very good yesterday and still fell by another 17% . Bitcoin may not have completed its correction yet, and therefore EOS may continue to decline . In this case, further downturns would have very bad consequences. In addition to the striking loss of value, the downward angle, which is very steep, is also terrible. There are several supports marked on the chart . At the moment, it is very difficult to say on which support the gamechanger will come and the EOS will turn. It will not only depend on it but also on bitcoin.

Bitcoin - ABC follwed by ABC ??? If so, better prices ahead.If this is another valid ABC correction that just finished instead of Wave 1,2, and the start of Wave 3 then we should see better prices going forward IMO. Still long my core position but took my trading profits around the top of what may be the completion of Wave C. Of course this is just one person's opinion. Many are still calling for $14K or higher right now. I don't know. This is what I see. The price could still reach out to the 1.272 and this pattern is still valid. All it means is that I jumped ship a little earlier than necessary. I do that sometimes. :0) I would also add that if prices breach well into the top of Wave A then this would be an additional confirmation that lower prices are to follow. We've come close, but not yet... Good luck!

Spy inverted, looks very interesting.From what i gather here, trade on before supporting trend line break put, which willl start the B-C wave. Where will C land, i won't know, but it will touch resistance trend line for sure. This does tell me that the BIG short is defiantly near as we may be heading back to SPY@200. Good luck everyone ;) **LEGENDS** BLUE = Bear/Resistance Yellow = Bull/ Support ~Explore the chart for possible scenarios of price actions - use zoom and scroll for better view.~ /*This information is not a recommendation to buy or sell.

BITCOIN WARNING: Optimal Whale Play Will Hit You! Lets jump right into it - we dont have time to waste, because you might once again be caught by the whales. D4rkEnergY is the master when it comes to Market Psychology, and have warned you many times before, when there were risk of being Stop Hunted. Let me start to say, that Bitcoin is extremely bullish if we zoom out, and take a look at the Daily or Weekly chart. BTC is in a Bull Market, and your job is to spot where its likely we will have a pull back, so you can buy the dips. Let me also stress, that it is likely, that we will go down right away to my ORANGE Trend line - but this post serve the purpose to give you an idea about another very likely scenario, which will be the optimal Whale Play. 335 Irregular/Running Flat ABC Correction This correction is not unlikely, and we have seen it play out before - not long time ago - on the 4th wave in the extrension inside the 3rd wave extension. Take a look at the Long vs Short indicator. We have a huge disproportion between Longs vs Shorts, which give the whales a good incentive to go up straight away. In this correction we will go ABOVE the 3rd wave (123.6% of wave), which will kill tons of Shorts. Hereafter we will go down again, which then will kill all the Longs who believe that this an impulse wave. And lastly the Shorts will once again be fooled, when we make a super short retracement on C (61.8% of AB), which is normal in an irregular/running flat ABC correction. I hope it helped you. Please be aware of this likely scenario - and remember that LIKE! - D4 Loves You! <3

Even moreso at $7,500 - $8,000. Now it looks like it will finally happen. I have exited my margin longs and will be looking to sell spot on this bounce. A 15m falling wedge with a $12,400 target recently confirmed. I do not usually pay attention to patterns on lower TF’s but will when the market is really moving. If that target is reached I will be watching for ABC correction on 4h: That is the most likely outcome in my opinion, but we will have to wait and see what happens. I am very intrigued by how this trendline has held as support: That is intriguing but I do not expect it to hold. I recently posted an update with buy signals from the Ichimoku Cloud and TD Sequential. If that entry was taken I would be looking to fully exit, or set a breakeven stop at a minimum. Right now it is time to control risk and / or hedge. Take some profit while it is still on the table and then keep a significant amount of exposure. Taking profit will improve the cost basis and will protect from the downside. If it continues taking off then great! If not then you will be ready to buy the dip. I outlined my major areas of support where I will be planning to buy the dip in today’s podcast on Youtube so give that watch if you want to know where I’m looking!
