📉 Downtrend ID Cheatsheet *UPDATED*What Is a Downtrend? A downtrend is a gradual reduction in the price or value of a stock or commodity, or the activity of a financial market. A downtrend can be contrasted with an uptrend. Downtrends are characterized by lower peaks and troughs and mimic changes in the perception of investors. A downtrend is fueled by a change in the supply of stocks investors want to sell compared with the demand for the stock by investors who want to buy. Downtrends are responses to changes that surround the security, whether macroeconomic or those associated with a company's business activity. 🔹Understanding and Identifying Downtrends As much as it is important to look out for uptrends when trading, it is equally important to understand and identify downtrends. A trader may potentially save money if they decide to sell off a declining stock. If many traders decide to sell a stock at the same time, it will result in a sharp decline in the stock price. The stock market is sentiment-driven, and fear of a further decline may result in even further selloffs of a stock. Some traders that frequently day trade may decide to implement stop-loss orders to protect themselves against a downtrend. A stop-loss order placed with a broker helps a trader sell once the price of the security reaches a certain price. Downtrends can vary from a gradual continuation to a sharp decline. A sharp decline may occur as a result of news-related topics, such as a poor quarterly earnings report or loss of a lawsuit. A downtrend can be identified and understood through various forms of technical analysis. One simple area of technical analysis is the use of trendlines. Trendlines connect a series of high or low points. The reversal of a declining trendline signals an uptrend. Another simple area of technical analysis is the moving average technical indicator. The moving average takes the mean of prices over a period in the past. If the price of a stock tends to stay below the moving average, it signals that the price is on a downtrend. 🔹Trading on a Downtrend Many traders look to profit from sell offs of a stock. While many traders will sell, taking the view that a price will decrease further in the future, some traders take the opposite view of hoping for a price increase. Downtrends may also lead to attractive valuation and present new opportunities for traders to purchase shares of stock. In another sense, downtrends allow traders to make money by short-selling stocks. In order to short a stock, a trader borrows shares and immediately sells them, in hopes that the price will fall. If the price of the stock goes down, then the individual will repurchase the shares back at the lower price and return the borrowed shares. The difference between the old price and the new price is the profit that a short-selling trader holds. 👤 @AlgoBuddy 📅 Daily Ideas about market update, psychology & indicators ❤️ If you appreciate our work, please like, comment and follow ❤️

Bitcoin - 20k or 18k before 40k! CME GAP The solution to this analysis is to find the most probable reversal point for this corrective move, that is currently happening on Bitcoin. Bitcoin failed to make a parabolic move. If we compare the start of the bull market in 2018, it was different because Bitcoin parabolically rose. But this time is different! We must now concentrate on catching the bottom of this correction so that we can ride wave 3. Waves 3 are usually the most impulsive and most parabolic, so you really want to be in the market. To catch the bottom of this corrective move, we need to use the most effective tools, such as FIB, GAPS, and Elliott Waves. Elliott Wave works best with crypto and stocks and worst with forex, so you want to use different tools for each environment. On the chart, you can see 4 possible reversal points. Which one do you think is the most probable? Let me know in the comment section; I want to see your opinion! In my opinion, the 0.618 FIB seems the most logical level for a trend reversal. But POC and the start of the gap at 16859 are also pretty juicy. But it's too low; it's hard to believe that the market will go back to these levels. On the other side, everything is possible. Also, we have a CME gap on BTC1! futures, which is between 19995 and 20460. The chances of a pullback in this area are very high! This analysis is not a trade setup; there is no stop-loss, entry point, profit target, expected duration of the trade, risk-to-reward ratio, or timing. I post trade setups privately. The true issue and threat is the unfilled GAP between 16.8K and 20.4K. Usually, all gaps tend to be filled. You can do a backtest, and you will see that this is pretty much true. We don't need to close the gap completely, but partially, yes. That's why it's almost a guarantee that Bitcoin is going to touch 20500 sooner or later. It can be this month, next month, or even later next year, in 2024. I hope it's going to happen sooner rather than later! I am not shorting anything, just to be clear. I rather prefer short-term longs with low RR rather than shorting. I don't want to play against the main trend, which is bullish! I believe we will hit a new all time high on Bitcoin this year or next year. Thank you, and for more ideas, hit "Like" and "Follow"!

ETH May Reach $1826 after a Pullback to ConsolidatePrimary Chart: ETHUSD on a 2D Time Frame The Primary Chart shows ETH's major down trendlines over the past 14 months. The first down trendline (magenta) remains effective and has contained price since the all-time high in November 2021. The second down trendline (gold) has been broken. The anchored VWAP from the all-time high (teal) is currently at $2230. Fibonacci levels are also shown on the primary chart, as well as major support and resistance levels from the past few months. This is a short-term bullish idea. It's odd having a bullish idea in the crypto space—but this idea is very short-term. Despite recent progress, much more structural change is needed before bulls can call victory with a new primary degree uptrend. Bear markets commonly see multi-week and multi-month corrective rallies. SquishTrade is *not* calling a new bull market / long-term uptrend in ETH. To the contrary, this is just a corrective rally until the weight of the evidence proves otherwise. Down trendlines can break and be readjusted without a new uptrend being established, and inversely, up trendlines can break and be readjusted without a new downtrend being created. In any event, long-term buy and "hodlers" should be careful here and use stops consistent with prudent / professional trading principles. If the time horizon is extremely long (forever) because you believe no other technology could ever possibly render ETH obsolete, then maybe you have inside information that does not require any caution whatsoever. The key technical points are summarized below: The logarithmic down trendline remains intact currently. BTC's equivalent down trendline (on a log chart from all-time highs) has been broken, and it remains to see if that break will hold. It might hold for some time as the shape and structure of the downtrend is reestablished. The best the bulls can achieve, however, is a sideways to neutral trend for some time. Major bear markets do not typically reverse in a V-shaped fashion. Price is currently contending with a key Fibonacci level, the .618 retracement of the mid-August 2022 to November 2022 decline. This level lies at $1664.82. Price could push a little higher from here if it wants to extend a bit more. The move in BTC and ETH has been nothing short of explosive, typical in bear markets, likely fueled by shorts covering and a lot of upside hedging and FOMO. But in all likelihood, a consolidation / pullback is in the cards soon. See the RSI divergence (bearish) on Supplementary Chart A that has now arisen on daily charts. Divergences also appear in momentum on the 8-hour and 4-hour charts using RSI and other indicators, including the Bollinger Bands. Supplementary Chart A Because the November 3, 2022, high was broken, this sets up a shorter-term bullish structure potentially. The key word here is shorter-term. Again, this is not a call for a new bull market. But traders can try to capture upside moves with tight stops at logical supports. Right now, price is extended. Don't recommend chasing unless you really know what you're doing! If the down trendline (magenta) is broken, the measured move target is the more aggressive target for this move. That target lies at $2473. This target is not worth discussing, and not viable, unless and until the down TL from the all-time high is convincingly broken.

Bitcoin - 25% CRASH from this level! Be prepared. The bulls are incredibly strong! This may be the best January in Bitcoin's history. But the bears are waiting patiently to short bitcoin at the key level! The Resistance 1 level is strong because there is a POC of the previous structure, the start of the massive previous GAP, and a horizontal level from 2021. With this strong confluence, we can short bitcoin on the futures market for a potential 20%–25% profit. Like I have said many times, I am here for the bulls and bears. So this is clearly an analysis for the bears. This analysis is not a trade setup; there is no stop-loss, entry point, profit target, expected duration of the trade, risk-to-reward ratio, or timing. I post trade setups privately. I am a professional trader with almost 6 years of experience in the crypto market. I can tell you that with this major resistance, we will see a pretty strong rejection! What I recommend you to do is to short Bitcoin between 28,750 - 30,100 . I will specify this level more precisely in one of my next analyses on lower time frames or privately! If we take a look at the volume profile, we can see there is no volume area. These areas tend to be filled, and at the end of the area, we should see a big rejection. We have only 4 strong resistance levels on the way up to the new all-time high. However, it may take some time to break it all down. Bitcoin started its new bullish cycle in November 2022. I expect another bearish cycle to start sometime in September 2025. I have predictions for years or even decades in advance! Thank you, and for more ideas, hit "Like" and "Follow"!

Ethereum - Big overview of the bear market. The bears are in full control because ETH is below the two major trendlines and also below the 200-day moving average. We have a FTX GAP between 1545 and 1352. This gap was caused by a huge panic sell-off of traders due to the collapse of the FTX exchange and by CZ Binance, who tweeted that he was not going to buy FTX as he wanted. This gap can be filled, but of course it doesn't have to. Also, there is a 0.618 FIB at 1415 + the top of the yellow trendline + the 200-day moving average, which is another strong resistance. The bulls need a lot of strength to break this zone, and even if they are able to do it, there is another white trendline, which is the top of the parallel channel at around 1800. It's hard to say if the bulls will be motivated enough to break it. I don't want to be bullish about this strong resistance, but we can definitely touch it, no problem. At this moment, my trades are only short-term swing and intraday trades, so I am not thinking about buying any coins for the long term. I still think the bear market will continue in 2023 because other coins look extremely bearish, including Bitcoin. This analysis is not a trade setup; there is no stop-loss, entry point, profit target, expected duration of the trade, risk-to-reward ratio, or timing. I post trade setups privately. As you can see on the chart, the price is moving in two parallel descending channels. The top trendline of the first white parallel channel has only two touches, so the third touch should be rejected strongly. This is a bearish Elliott Wave count, and we are currently at the 3rd wave of the 5th wave. I suggest continuing lower to complete this impulse wave. I would love to buy ETH for around 250 - 300. I believe it is possible to get there, based on other assets such as stocks. TSLA, META, NTFLX, etc. are experiencing the biggest crash in history. And ETH is also, basically, in the IT sector. If ETH drops below the key resistance of 1073, I expect a huge flash crash to the bottom of the descending channel. Overall, I am bearish, and we may definitely see some relief rally. But don't get rekt by the main resistance I mentioned earlier. Look at my idea about SOLANA (exponencial growth) in the related section down below.

Solana - Exponential growth, right now! Solana looks extremely strong at this moment, and it looks like we will have an explosive pump! But it has already begun. From a technical perspective, we need to retest the previous blue trendline, which is at 29.8 USDT. It's also the point of control for the previous price action. This is the first profit target, and I recommend selling SOL here. The second profit target is more advanced. There are a lot of stop losses above the wave (4), so the market might find enough strength to get there. It's at 48 USDT. In my previous analysis on Solana, I recommended buying SOL at 8.6 USD, so check out my previous idea in the related section down below for more details. The chart is printing a broadening falling wedge on the weekly chart, and there is definitely the possibility to touch the top of the wedge in the immediate short term! This analysis is not a trade setup; there is no stop-loss, entry point, expected duration of the trade, risk-to-reward ratio, or timing. I post trade setups privately. As per my Elliott Wave analysis, the major impulse wave from the previous all-time high has been completed successfully, and at this point we should look for an ABC retracement to the upside. I see a lot of signs that Solana has temporarily bottomed out on lower timeframes. The strength is currently incredible. Counter-trends tend to be steeper, so there is a possibility of hitting my price target at warp speed. If you want to trade Solana intraday, it's definitely a good opportunity because the volatility on this coin should be insane. I recommend only longs.

Solana - Buy here for a 452% PROFIT! (Best level) You are wondering why SOL is falling drastically and maybe where the best level to buy is. In this analysis, I will show you! Technically, this coin is very weak. The downtrend is steep and very impulsive, no doubt about it. But it is also a great opportunity for buyers to speculate on the midterm long position. But first of all, we need to find the best level for it. Fibonacci is a very powerful tool, and we can use the confluence of the FIB retracement and FIB extension to look for a level where there is likely to be a trend reversal point. We need to take a FIB retracement (LOG FIB) from the previous huge uptrend from 2020–2021. We can see that 0.618 FIB is at 8.52 USDT. 0.618 FIB is, of course, the strongest FIB level. Also, we need to take a FIB extension from wave 3 => 4 to predict a fifth wave. There is a pretty good chance that the trend reversal point can occur at the 1:1 FIB extension, which is around 8.74 USDT. Because we have a very strong fibonacci support between 8.52 and 8.74 USDT, we can place a buy order here and wait for the price to reach this level! Sounds pretty easy, doesn't it? I think we should see a lot of buyers here, and we can expect a major rally with a potential profit of 452%! If you bought SOL at a higher price and you want to get out, then it's good news for you! I don't have any SOL at this moment, so I am waiting for the price to come to me! The price is moving in the descending parallel channel, and this is also a great opportunity to buy SOL at the bottom of the channel, so we have another confluence to buy SOL! This analysis is not a trade setup; there is no stop-loss, entry point, profit target, expected duration of the trade, risk-to-reward ratio, or timing. I post trade setups privately. I hope you guys will take this trade! Take care. For more ideas, hit "Like" and "Follow", right now!

NVDA Fails at Channel Resistance after Largest Bear Rally YTDPrimary Chart: NVDA's Primary Downtrend Since November 2021 Represented by Parallel Channel and Anchored VWAP from ATH Summary: NVDA has been in a downtrend since its all-time high on November 22, 2022. NVDA broke above its down TL on a linear chart briefly in whipsaw move (bull trap) on December 13, 2022. It failed decisively back below. This failure at the down TL shows that the downtrend has further to go, and that the TL remains effective as price exhausted almost immediately after breaking above it. NVDA did not take out its prior major high from August 4, 2022, at $192.74. The intraday high from this bear rally was $187.90. Short-term targets derived from Fibonacci levels and VWAPs include $157 to $160 (conservative) , and $147-$150 , and $133-$138 (aggressive) . The lower targets depend on the higher targets being reached and broken first, as usual. And all of the targets depend on a break of the March 2020 VWAP (pink) around $165. That level must break before any other targets can be viable. 1. NVDA has been in a downtrend since November 22, 2021, over one year ago. The rallies in the one-year downtrend have been impressive. Each time, market participants have bought dips heavily and pushed rallies fiercely upward with help from short-covering players and dealer-hedging unwinds in derivatives markets. 2. Below is a chart showing the bear rallies, each of which has been contained by the downtrend. Each rally represents years worth of gains in calmer up-trending markets excluding the powerful post-2020 bull fueled by easy central bank policy that fostered excessive liquidity in financial markets. Supplementary Chart A: Percentage Gains for Each Bear Rally Contained by the Downtrend in NVDA The most recent rally is plainly the largest in percentage terms. It has run about 73.7% higher from the October 2022 low. 3. In early November, SquishTrade posted about the powerful rally and hypothesized that it might run to $150. That prior post is linked here . NVDA ran to $150 and much further to $187.90. But ST cautioned that the rally should be respected, explaining as follows: "And that rally should continue to be respected until it's confirmed to be complete. A good way to gauge the rally off the lows is to use an upward trendline—here a parallel channel is used, and the lower boundary of the channel is the upward trendline off the lows." In other words, until the shorter-term uptrend off the lows was broken, the rally should be accepted. Fighting bear rallies (just like fighting any other market move) is futile. NVDA's uptrend was in fact violated with several whipsaw moves that were bear traps. After adjusting the line for the bear traps, the uptrend line was violated again December 6-7, 2022 with a major whipsaw move (see the false breakdown December 6-7, 2022, below the blue uptrend line from October 2022 lows, shown on the Primary Chart). 4. In short, this bear market has been exceedingly difficult to trade with outsized moves in short periods of time. But on December 13, 2022, it seemed NVDA would break above its down TL from the all-time high and change its downtrend structure. On Tuesday this week, NVDA rose to an intraday high of $187.90, coming close to breaking above the previous major high at $192.74 made on August 4, 2022. But NVDA's price reversed right on cue. It topped and reversed just below that August 4, 2022 high. NVDA's price has now fallen back below the down TL on a linear chart (shown on the Primary Chart). Note that NVDA has remained well below its down TL on a log chart, as shown below: Supplementary Chart B: NVDA's Logarithmic Chart with a Down TL from the All-Time High in November 2021 5. Given how tricky this market has been, it seems prudent not to jump to any major conclusions about whether the low may be in for NVDA. Instead, it's better to watch the nature of the pullback first. SquishTrade keeps in mind that semiconductors tend to lead the broader equity markets, so keep in mind that NVDA may have made its final low, as counterintuitive as that may seem. That's not SquishTrade's official view, it's just a reminder to stay open and flexible. Take it one step at a time, level to level. For now, it seems a downward move has begun. Will it be corrective or impulsive? Let's wait and see. 6. A while back ST published the following chart showing a possible longer-term target in the $83 area (lets say $80-$85) or perhaps higher depending on where the uptrend line is tagged. This target still seems to be a higher probability area where price could fall in the longer term. That chart will be reposted below (note it is dated late September 2022, but it's still valid now). It's difficult to say when earnings will start deteriorating in earnest due to the coming recession. No one can predict exactly when the recession will hit. Perhaps markets are telling us it's just around the corner. But we have to remain open to all possibilities . However improbable it may be after the hawkish Fed presser this week, one cannot rule out a run up to challenge $200 or even (gasp) $258 (gap fill in early April 2022) before new lows are made. To be clear, this is not SquishTrade's forecast, but it's being discussed as an example of a price path that could confound traders and eventually lead to new lows while convincing many market participants that the October 2022 lows are final. Wouldn't that be painful and confusing and devious—and consistent with the maximum theory of pain in markets? Supplementary Chart C: Long-Term Trendlines Showing Long-Term Target around $83 7. Shorter-term price targets include $157 to $160 (conservative), and $147-$150, and $133-$138 (aggressive). 8. Note that in addition to Fibonacci, Ichimoku Cloud charts were consulted, and the $150 level serves as weekly support on an Ichimoku Cloud chart (Kijun line for those familiar with those charts). The $140 level is important on daily charts into January 2023. Supplementary Chart D: Ichimoku Cloud Charts (Weekly and Daily) with Yellow Circles Highlighting Key Supports 9. Remember, this is not a so-called trade "signal" or trade entry. SquishTrade prefers to analyze and describe the broader price environment using technical analysis but leave trading decisions, entries and exits up to each trader and investor's discretion. Traders and investors all have different time frames, rules, risk tolerances, and strategies. So trade according to your own rules, time frame, strategies and risk tolerance. Perhaps this technical analysis may help a trader look a little more carefully for a swing short setup in the coming days or weeks on a bounce to resistance. Perhaps it helps an investor hold off on committing long-term capital until the downtrend structure is negated. In short, this is a technical analysis and overview, not a trading service!

Binance 80% CRASH! Black swan crypto event. Fundamentals first. Binance Exchange is losing customers; that is a fact that everyone knows. The huge scandal occurred just before Christmas, but it looks like people have already forgotten what happened. What is causing Binance Exchange to lose customers? First of all, Binance Exchange itself is banning users all around the world for no reason. My friend got banned before Christmas, 1 day after he opened a short position on BNBUSDTPERP futures. I received a lot of messages from people all around the world saying they received an email with a permanent account suspension. Half of them could withdraw their funds; the other half could not. So if you received this email and you don't know why, Binance Exchange can ban you without any reason, just if they want to. There is a conspiracy theory (not verified) that Binance cannot have a monopoly on crypto; bigger players refuse to accept this fact, so they need to reduce it by force. I think Binance is a great exchange, the most liquid exchange. But these are facts that everyone can verify. BNB coin is currently worth 245 USDT. In my opinion, the price is very expensive at this moment, due to recent scandals and lost customers. 50 - 100 USDT is a fair price to me; I am not willing to pay more for the coin. If something is too big, it will destroy itself, so there needs to be competition. Monopoly is not a good thing. I want to give you some tips: do not short BNB directly on the Binance exchange if you don't want to get permanently banned like my friend. The best option is to store your cryptocurrency in a hardware wallet such as Trezor. And use only a portion of your funds on exchanges to trade spot or futures. Leverage is good because you don't need all your funds and will transfer the risk to the exchange. Together with "stop limit" orders, you can trade very effectively even with a small amount of your funds on exchanges. Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) said on Twitter that "for most people, for 99% of people today, asking them to hold crypto on their own, they will end up losing it." In other words, if you hold crypto on your own, you will lose your funds, so you should hold all your funds on exchanges. I was shocked when I saw this. He made this statement during the massive bank run on his exchange, giving the impression to others that he was threatening people and convincing them that their funds are safe only in his exchange. ----------------------------------------------------------- Now let's take a look at the technical analysis, which is the main reason why I am bearish on BNB. Both the technical and fundamental analyses are bearish. The uptrend from June 13, 2022, to November 7, 2022, is clearly weak. It's an ABC corrective pattern, which is usually followed by a massive crash.  80% crash to 48 USDT is, in my opinion, very possible. Everything is going down, including META stocks, TSLA, etc. So if you believe in the future of Binance, 48 USDT is your desired price. You have no idea how much BNB people accumulated in previous years or how many leveraged long positions on futures are open. The market usually wants liquidity. The price has been moving in the descending parallel channel, and we can retest the channel from the downside. As per my Elliott Wave analysis, the whole structure looks very weak. The first impulse wave appears to be an ending diagonal wedge. The bulls are not interested in this coin. 48 USDT is a very strong support because it marks the beginning of the massive gap from 2021 as well as the breakout level of the previous structure from 2020. I am very bearish on the crypto space, not just the BNB coin, as you may have seen from my previous posts. Binance is the most liquid exchange and CZ Binance did a great job bulding it. Thank you, and happy New Year!

Bitcoin - The bottom will be here (89% chance) I am telling you that the bottom on Bitcoin will be between 9600 - 10300 USD and I expect Bitcoin to reach this reversal zone in summer 2023! You can place your buy orders here because the reaction on this level will be extremely high, so you can also buy/long BTC for a 50% profit. The worst-case scenario for Bitcoin is to hit the bottom of the huge channel on the LOG weekly chart, which is unfortunately between 5200 - 5800 USD. But I think it's not going to happen. If bitcoin falls below 5k, a lot of exchanges will be out of business because customers will leave the crypto space. 99% of people will be out of crypto, and it doesn't make too much sense. In crypto, there is a lot of money to be made for big players. They want crypto to rise as well. On the weekly chart, Bitcoin has been moving in this massive ascending parallel channel with 5 touches. It's a valid channel on the LOG scale. Volatility on Bitcoin is at an all-time low, and this should last until we find the bottom. 9600 - 10300 USD is a very strong zone because it is the 0.618 FIB of the previous impulse wave and also because there is an unfilled GAP. As per my Elliott Wave analysis, the downtrend that started in November 2021 looks impulsive, so there is a high chance to go lower to complete the ABC retracement. ETH could reach 250 USD and BNB could reach 48 USD. It's a very strong level for these coins that you will see in my next ideas, so follow me and hit the like! Thank you, and happy trading!

XRP - Whales will start buying XRP here. But first a 55% DROP! This head and shoulders pattern on the weekly chart is almost ready for a breakdown, so this is your last chance to sell XRP and save your money! On the other side, it's a great opportunity to short XRP on the futures market, as I already did at the top of the right shoulder (see my previous idea)! But be careful; XRP is the beast, and I know XRP very well, more than most other people. Overlaps between waves are common, and movements can be difficult at times, but they are doable. If you ask me when moon for XRP? I can tell you that after we hit 0,1 - 0,09 USDT, the whales will start buying massively. The whales are going to send XRP to the moon! And I am telling you it will be massive; you don't want to miss it, so hit the LIKE if you think I am right. But let's be realistic; this is the biggest bear market in history, and it's better to buy XRP at a cheaper price. XRP is stuck in this parallel channel on the weekly chart, and the bears are in full control. There are no signs of a trend reversal at all. No buying alerts from whales As per my Elliott Wave analysis, this downtrend is so incomplete. We are in the middle of the bearish trend that started on April 13, 2021. But we are basically finishing the downtrend that started in 2018. It can take another 1-2 years for XRP to bottom out. XRP is ranked 6 on CoinGecko, which is pretty impressive. Transactions on XRP are extremely fast and extremely cheap, so it's a pleasure to use it for payments. But it's not a digital gold nor a store of value and will never be, this can only be Bitcoin.

Bitcoin - Secret pattern no one is talking about! Bitcoin is bearish on higher timeframes, but on the 4-hour chart, BTC could reach 17,300–17,550 in the near term! There is a massive opportunity to short Bitcoin at the top of two parallel channels or at the 0.618 - 0.5 FIB! We can go straight down to 10k after we reach this important level. From the Elliott Wave perspective, it makes sense to complete the C wave to the upside. There are many shorts that must be eliminated before bitcoin experiences a historic crash! The previous uptrend from November 21 to December 14 was nice, but unfortunately, there are a lot of signs of weakness in this particular move. Example: There is an overlap between wave W and wave X. It looks like a WXYXZ triple-three (ZigZag) corrective structure. The subwaves look like zigzags, not impulses. That's why I am being a little bit pessimistic about this previous uptrend. I post trade setups privately. This analysis is not a trade setup; there is no stop-loss, entry point, profit target, expected duration of the trade, risk-to-reward ratio, or timing. 15487 is the next major support, and I believe the market wants liquidity below this level. All stop losses should be hit first, and then I expect a bullish pullback. I will inform you in my next analysis, so make sure you follow me! It's better for Bitcoin to crash to 10k immediately, so we can eventually start a new bull market sooner rather than later. Probably the last thing you want is for Bitcoin to slowly rise to 21k–30k and then dump to 10k. Check out my related idea about "Bitcoin - Merry Christmas!" in the related section down below; you don't want to miss it. I think we will see more major players capitulate, so stay safe! There is an opportunity to wipe out big players out of the game now or never. Thank you.

SPX Breakout Fails, Bearish 1H 2023, PT $3810Primary Chart: SPX Long-Term TL and Anchored VWAPs, Fibonacci SUMMARY: SPX experienced a failed breakout above the downward TL. See the Primary Chart above. This suggests weakness ahead, but price may remain choppy throughout December. Price failed right at key levels including the VWAP anchored to the all-time high on January 4, 2022, a downward trendline that has been effective YTD, and a key Fibonacci level. Price targets will be initially set as follows: $3820 (conservative) and $3600-$3700 (aggressive). Because December tends to experience some bullish seasonality, this may affect prices by causing choppiness, preventing prices from going straight to new lows until 1H 2023. Bullish seasonality may not be enough, however, to result in a so-called "Santa Rally." S&P 500 ( SP:SPX ) broke above its downward trendline (TL) today. Price initially gapped higher by approximately 2.78% from yesterday's close. At first, it may have appeared that the breakout above the downward TL would be meaningful. But the breakout has largely failed. Failed breakouts provide a somewhat bearish signal. However, in this choppy and unpredictable current market this year, a series of failed breakouts both to the upside and downside frequently preceded the actual directional move in many indices, stocks and other instruments. Whether SPX's down TL continues to hold as resistance and to contain price below it will remain of utmost importance in the coming weeks. Tomorrow, the US central bank will hold its press conference after a two-day meeting that started today, December 13, 2022. Similar to the CPI data release today, the FOMC presser tomorrow may cause excessive volatility and whipsaws like other FOMC days this year. Additional central banks in Europe (ECB, BOE, Norway, Switzerland) will be holding their meetings later this week as well. Some traders may be wondering about a so-called Santa rally. Citi's quant strategists were quoted the other day claiming that "the Santa rally has not delivered when the returns of the first 10 months of the year are negative." Other statistics suggest that Santa rallies are less likely (though still sometimes occur) during bear-market years. Other recent charts shared publicly have also shown that bear markets show lower probabilities of a Santa rally. This does not mean the Santa rally will not occur, it just means that the odds are lower. Much will depend on what Fed Chair Powell says tomorrow and what the dot plot shows. In any event, price action in SPX today was weak. A failed breakout does not inspire confidence that a new uptrend is forming. While price can do all sorts of unexpected things as it has all year long, it suggests more downside ahead despite better than expected inflation readings today. Price may still reach $4150 before the next downward move gets underway. The performance of technology today supports the bearish case in SPX (and NDX). Technology is the largest weighting in both major US indices. But this sector also showed a failed breakout when considering the sector on an equal-weighted basis. US markets are unlikely to rally back to all-time highs when technology cannot change its downtrend structure. Supplementary Chart A: Failed Breakout in Equal-Weighted Technology Sector Negative divergence has arisen on the daily SPX charts with an RSI indicator for momentum readings. This should be monitored in days to come if a higher high than today's high is made. A higher high could negate the divergence, but a marginal new high (up to SPX 4120-4150) may not erase the divergence. Supplementary Chart B: RSI Negative Divergence Lastly, while some debate exists whether VIX may be subject to technical analysis, it can be helpful to pay attention to the trends and levels in the VIX at least. Today, VIX also showed a failed breakout to the downside below the range over the past week. In other words, VIX broke below the key trading range of 22.06 - 23.28 as markets ripped higher this morning. But interestingly, that breakdown ended up failing with price recovering back into the range.

DOGE - Extremely bearish pattern, buy/long here! Doge looks very bearish, but this coin is definitely stronger than others. In this analysis, I will tell you where to buy DOGE for a short-term trade! Doge is not going anywhere; this coin will survive even the most hard-core crash, together with Litecoin and Monero. These first-generation altcoins are solid. Unfortunately, the chart is printing a descending triangle, which is not bullish. There is a lot of liquidity below the triangle, so the market wants all orders. I am buying doge exactly at 0.06112 for a short-term profit. I will trade it on the futures market, of course, but you can do it on the spot market as well. Don't forget to set your orders! From the Elliott Wave perspective, the previous uptrend looks like a 3-wave ABC corrective structure. Not the best sign. I remember before everyone was buying DOGE like crazy, and now everyone is at a loss. The crypto winter is real; nothing is bullish pretty much. The only way to make money is to trade futures. I post trade setups privately. This analysis is not a trade setup; there is no stop-loss, profit target, expected duration of the trade, risk-to-reward ratio, or timing. Why buy doge at 0.06112? because it's the last high-volume node on the volume profile and also because we have an ascending trendline, which should work well together. What's more it's the start of the massive gap. The 200-day moving average has been tested three times, and it's just too much. It looks like buyers are running out of steam. There are 2 most likely scenarios. The first is that we will spend more time in this triangle. The second is that we will breakdown very soon. Thank you!

EURUSD - Massive 22% crash to 0.82! Lifetime opportunity! The EURUSD is going up right now, but it looks like a dead cat bounce rally. It was a nice short-term bull market! We need to focus on the main direction of the trend, which is bearish. I think EURUSD will go up to 1.06311, where there is an extremely strong resistance that should be a reversal point. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to short EUR/USD!Follow my calls. As per my Elliott Wave analysis, we need a final impulse wave to the downside to complete a major impulse wave. Typically, wave 1 serves as strong resistance, which in this case is 1.06311. 1.06311 is a strong resistance because it is the 2020 COVID swing low + wave (1) + 0.382 FIB retracement (wave 3). You can take profit at the previous POC of the triangle from 2000–2002 (0.88691) or at the previous swing low from 2000 (0.82311). This is not a trade setup because there is no stop loss, expected duration, risk-to-reward ratio, or timing. I post professional trade setups elsewhere. This is just an analysis. I am more than happy to provide you with these analyses, so if you like it, hit "Like" and "Follow"! Tell me in the comment section what you think about EURUSD. It looks like everyone is now extremely bullish, which is definitely not a good sign! The majority is usually wrong. Stay strong!

Bitcoin Bogdanoff - Can this pattern predict the bottom? The Bogdanoff twins claimed they participated in helping Satoshi Nakamoto build Bitcoin. Is this true or not? Let me know in the comment section right now! The question is, can this weekly chart's falling wedge and bullish flag predict Bitcoin's bottom? I think it's definitely possible and maybe even likely! Bitcoin is still very weak compared to the stock market or gold. A lot of people hate Bitcoin and spit on it as well. This is one of the possible Elliott Wave counts that can predict the bottom as well. As you can see, the previous impulse wave from 2018–2021 was pretty much a textbook wave. What traders usually do is wait for a bearish retracement to buy the DIP. In other words, they wait for the ABC correction to enter the market. In the current situation, the ABC correction is still developing, and we need at least one more huge swing low to complete this pattern. At this moment, it looks like an impulse wave and we don't want to buy it. The 0.618 FIB of the previous impulse wave, as well as the start of the POC on the volume profile, make 10 300 USD a strong support.I would not be surprised if the market takes liquidity below the previous swing low of 9825 USD. I really want a bull market because everyone in crypto is toxic, and of course I don't like it. I like it when the majority of people are happy. Also, I want to open an investment position on bitcoin, but not now. Maybe the bottom is in and we will go up from here, but I doubt it. The likelihood is now around 25%.I am waiting for the main yellow trendline to be broken before I can change the probability to 70%. If you disagree with me, let me know in the comment section why.

Bitcoin + Crypton (CRP) - This hidden GEM will 100x! Crypton (CRPUSD) is a hidden GEM with a 100x profit potential. I recommend buying this coin before it's listed on exchanges!

After purchasing this coin, it is important that you inform your friends and others about it so that the price rises and the opportunity for massive gains increases rapidly. Crypton (CRPUSD) chart: The coin is holding its value extremely well during this massive bear market.
