Correlations of Retail Stock Traders & Carl Jung's Archetypes Carl Jung, a renowned Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, introduced the concept of archetypes as universal patterns or symbols that reside in the collective unconscious. Carl Jung's archetypes , rooted in the collective unconscious, offer profound insights into human behavior and decision-making processes. (archetypes example would be the Devil and Angel on your shoulder, Jung beleives there is more to it that good and evil) Retail stock traders, operating in a dynamic and often volatile market, are not exempt from these archetypal influences. Let's explore the correlations between Jungian archetypes and how they impact the decision-making process of retail stock traders when executing trades. The Hero Archetype: The Hero archetype drives traders to conquer challenges and attain success. Within retail stock trading, this archetype encourages traders to take calculated risks, seize opportunities, and exhibit unwavering confidence in their decision-making abilities. While the Hero can inspire bravery and determination, traders must be mindful of impulsive and overly aggressive behaviors that may lead to irrational choices. The Sage Archetype: The Sage archetype embodies wisdom, knowledge, and the pursuit of truth. Retail stock traders influenced by the Sage archetype engage in extensive research, analysis, and due diligence before executing trades. They seek to understand market dynamics, uncover patterns, and leverage their intellectual prowess to make informed decisions. However, an excessive reliance on analysis may result in analysis paralysis, inhibiting timely execution. The Jester Archetype: The Jester archetype represents humor, spontaneity, and irreverence. In the world of retail stock trading, this archetype may manifest as traders who adopt a lighthearted approach and embrace risk with a sense of playfulness. Jester-influenced traders may be inclined to explore unconventional trades, pursue novelty, and seek excitement. Nevertheless, caution must be exercised to avoid impulsive or reckless decision-making. The Caregiver Archetype: The Caregiver archetype embodies compassion, empathy, and a desire to nurture others. In retail stock trading, traders influenced by this archetype prioritize socially responsible investing, seeking companies aligned with their values. They consider sustainable practices, ethical considerations, and impact investing as integral components of their decision-making process. However, emotional attachments to causes may cloud judgment, necessitating a balanced approach. The Magician Archetype: The Magician archetype symbolizes transformation, power, and the ability to manifest desired outcomes. Traders influenced by the Magician archetype possess intuitive market understanding and employ strategies that seem almost mystical. They may rely on technical analysis, precise timing, and sophisticated algorithms or trading systems. However, an overreliance on intuition without grounding in tangible data may result in unreliable decision-making. The Shadow Archetype: Carl Jung's concept of the shadow archetype represents the darker, suppressed aspects of the psyche. In retail stock trading, the shadow can manifest as greed, fear, impulsivity, or an inclination toward unethical practices. Traders must confront their shadows and acknowledge the potential biases and emotional influences that can cloud judgment. By bringing the shadow into conscious awareness, traders can make more objective and rational decisions. Impact on Decision-Making Process: The interplay between these archetypes and the shadow profoundly affects the decision-making process of retail stock traders. Awareness of these archetypal influences enables traders to leverage their strengths while mitigating potential pitfalls. Recognizing the shadow archetype's presence allows traders to confront their biases, manage emotions, and make more rational and ethical decisions. Understanding the correlations between Carl Jung's archetypes and the decision-making process of retail stock traders sheds light on the intricate psychological factors at play within financial markets. By recognizing and integrating these archetypal influences into their decision-making process, traders can enhance self-awareness, improve emotional regulation, and ultimately make more balanced, informed, and profitable trading decisions.

NAIL- an ETF of Homebuilders 3X leveragedNAIL- is an ETF of Homebuilders; It is 3X leveraged. Price is up over 30% in the first two weeks \ of June. It is shown here on the 30-minute chart with the "Market Bias" indicator which shows uptrends in green and pull-back zones in gray. Presently, price is pulling back - when the gray colored trend indicator changes back to green, an optimal entry can be made.The ADX indicator has topped out as part of the early pullback. When the ADX goes below 25 and then crosses 25 from below, an entry can be made. An ADX over 50 and rising suggests that it is too late for an entry and not to chase but rather wait for a pullback. Overall, NAIL's price is now in early pullback by the "Market Bias: trend indicator and the ADX which shows now a decreasing trend directional strength. Price is more than one standard deviation above the mean anchored VWAP which is an level that professional traders want to sell from. Because of all of this I will wait for an entry on NAIL until a pullback is completed and the uptrend bullish continuation is seen.

Bitcoin poised for a serious correctionIntroduction Bitcoin has shown a lot of strength since I called the end of the bear market mid January. That was somewhat of an audacious call but so far it has played out in my favor. Nothing goes straight up and it seems that the time for bitcoin to have its first major pull back is upon us. This is also my first post after being designated a “wizard” so I am caught between a couple of tensions. One is to keep on posting the quality of content that got me appointed (which is opaque to me). The other tension is to not be a try hard. Primer on Divergences Normal Divergence (Trend Reversal) Bearish: Higher highs on price action but lower highs on the indicator Bullish: Lower lows on price action but higher lows on the indicator Hidden (Trend Continuation) Bearish: Lower high on the price action and higher highs on the indicator Bullish: Higher low on the price action and a lower low on the indicator Indicators Dynamic Network Value to Transactions Ratio by aamonkey Bitcoin is the name of a payment network as well as the currency used on that network and the smallest division of that currency is the satoshi. This is compared to the dollar, which circulates around the world in the SWIFT system with the smallest division that most people use is the cent. The Network Value Transaction ratio represents the cryptocurrency’s network value (which is its current market capitalization) and the transaction volume that’s transmitted through Bitcoin’s blockchain over a period of 24 hours. In other words, how much is money moving around compared to cost of bitcoin. It is closely related to the idea of the velocity of money. All things being equal when the velocity of money picks up things get expensive. The indicator is simple to understand. When price is in the green the smart money looks to accumulate/absorb bitcoin and other cryptos and when the NVT moves to the red or even outside the red smart money looks to sell. This is time frame dependent. Right now we are quite hot on the 3 day time frame but no where near where I would be concerned on the weekly. This circumstance makes it very painful to hold leveraged longs but also difficult to go short because that is against the larger trend. In other words, it is very easy to lose money here. Average Directional Index D+ and D- The ADX quite simply tells you how strong a move is. It uses a true range calculation to measure a D+ that compares previous high to one another. When you have higher highs the D+ in green goes up. The True Range Calculation also compares lows and when the lows are lower the D- goes up in red. When the green line is above the red line the trend is bullish and the higher it is above the red line the more bullish things are. When the red line is above the green line price is trending down. When they cross it indicates neutrality, or in other words, price has moved sideways long enough that the positive and negative price action neutralized one another. It is possible for the D- and D+ to braid and cause a lot of damage to traders so the indicator is best used as part of a collection of indicators or to confirm a chart formation breakout. Here the D+ is showing hidden bearish divergence. The trend is exhausting and we can se the D- is poised to begin swinging upward. Relative Strength Index This is one of the fundamental indicators for most traders. It compares average gains to average losses and when the average gains are more than the average losses price goes up. When the RSI is falling but price is still going up it is a sign that reversal is near. Technical Analysis The divergences are pretty easy to see and I am confident that there is a great dip buying opportunity brewing. Where the low is going to be is hard to say. How long it will take is also very difficult to determine. To make it easy for me, I will look to buy again when the NVT is green again on the 3 day. Should help me stay patient. A 25% drop is very do able at this point. It would be price returning to a trendline that helped set up this uptrend. I hope to see some hidden bullish divergence when this bases out, which means I would want the RSI, MACD, etc, to be lower than then when this uptrend began. I don’t think the gaussain channel or the ketner will confine price action during this dip. This weakness in bitcoin puts a lot of other long trades at serious risk. It is very hard for other cryptos to stay strong If you are holding be prepared for the value to go down. If you are margined be prepared to have your stop strategy tested. Fundamental Analysis (technical analysis on the dollar) DXY looks like it has caught support on both the Gaussian and Keltner channels and has set a double bottom. This sets up some W targeting with a fib draw from the low to the high of the bridge of the W. That target is in a lot of as it is in the micro bull trap of the previous high and against the trend line that was previous support and most likely resistance when tested again. This fits my larger view on the dollar that it will have to retest its previous wedge resistance as support. This means something big is coming for the dollar and therefore the globe. I wonder what kind of dreadful evens will feed into the dollar decline. This zigzagging of the dollar is going to make dollar alternatives go crazy. My Realistic worst case scenario for BTC I have been operating under the assumption the low is in. If not, the easiest target to set is back to $10k. While I don’t expect it to happen it is the easiest way my analysis has been wrong and one I have to prepare for. Conclusion These are trying economic times. Trading discipline are going to be key as the dollar whipsaws around and people try to position themselves long, short and sideways. This is not the time to be opening trades without a good entry system and a good system to take profit and set stop losses.
