PAY ATTENTION! Another Anomaly on USD Big Banks Fooling Us...Another anomaly, this time on USD/CAD. Big Banks and big Financial Institutions are trying to fool us again. A huge move up on USD/CAD, huge green candle BUT below average Volume.
The daily candle has stopped a little bit above the March, April, May, June, July, August, September combined POC but below-average volume. Again, to break such strong POC without Volume is REALLY odd.
In my humble opinion, this price will go up until around 1.33826 (which is a strong supply zone and June POC) to shake it up and panic the retailers and then strongly and heavily slump down.
Be ready!

How The BIG BANKS Have Fooled Everybody AGAIN!!! USD/CHFOn Sept 27 everybody was short on USD/CHF. It was pretty clear that the USD/CHF had reached a strong supply zone. But why next day the price went up? The question is, how to read the big banks and big financial institutions? The only answer is price action + volume. It's like the old times, the ticker tape, supply & demand. If there is a strong movement there should be a strong volume to back up the strong movement. If they shout out "buy, buy, buy" but they don't actually register the "buying", that doesn't matter.
As you can see that happen yesterday Sept 30. You can see a strong move up, a big green candle, enough to scare and panic the retail trader BUT where is the Volume? The Volume closed below the average. That means that the big banks and big financial institutions were out of the game, they were not buying the moving up, they were someway manipulating the whole "game". No indicator can read that!!!
Today the price went all the way up to 1.00156 (which I was short, I'm not bragging, don't get me wrong), to suddenly slumps after "bad manufacturing data". Did they know about the bad news? Probably yes. I've lived enough to know that there is no coincidence in life.

Notes: The last impulse to the upside took a while but played out eventually. The contraction/consolidation we’re seeing now is ideal for strong uptrend that would come - after a heavy fakeout down. There will be more eyes on the market now that big upside potential has been shown, and that also means more aggressive wicks to stop out retail traders. We’ve got a low risk space for order liquidity to hop in the market before a move to the upside after trapping impatient sellers. Patience is the key to big moves in these markets.
Volume Profile + Volume + Gann Fan + Moving Average SHORT!AUD/CHF Daily; I've simply plotted the Volume Profile of June, July, August, and September. Now I have and idea where the Big Banks and Big Financial Institutions like the price to be. Plus the trend is down. I've bought "short" on 0.68256 aiming the August and September Volume Profile of 0.66400.
GBP/CHF Supply & Demand + Volume Profile = Short (???)Looking for a "short" on GBP/CHF Daily. Supply coinciding with July POC area (Volume Profile). Let's see how hard the Big Banks and big financial institutions will hold this area.
Looking for TP at around 1.19, which is the August and September POC area.
CAD/CHF Supply & Demand + Volume Profile + GannLooking for "short" CAD/CHF. It's reached 1-Month high and also the Volume Profile POC July area, very good risk/reward. Also, Gann Fan plotted with a very nice 8/1 line on top, and others Gann Fan lines very nicely built.
Big banks and institutions had created a strong supply area in July!
Volume Profile + Supply & Demand + Gann = Predictions (???)Same strategy and concept as the previous post, but in a Daily chart. Based on Volume Profile from 6 months behind I've found Supply & Demand Areas, where Big Banks and Hedge Funds "build" their prices, I've highlighted those areas (in orange) and plotted the Gann Fan.
Now I'm just waiting for the New Zealand Dollar / U.S. Dollar to come back and reach the price around 0.64839 to "short."
A LOT of pressure down will occur around the area 0.64839 and 0.65732!
As I said before it's a strong area and that the big institutions don't forget!
Navigating The Market : Monday with Tue/Wed RelationshipThis write up is an extension to this post :
The concept is when the price on Tuesday or Wednesday broken and close above the Monday high, generally that potentially could be the "anchor" /high of the week hence the intraday trend of that week will rooted from this. Vice versa. Of course, this doesn't happen 100% of the time but it happens repetitively. Usually, this block (Tuesday-Wednesday) is, very often, the "final stage"/"final push" from the institutions with their price-fixing/stop hunts/liquidity hunt. It tends to extend until Thursday or Friday but generally, those block (Thursday-Friday) tend to be a profit-taking day for the banks
Long XRPUSD short term swing XRP has hit an almost 2 year low recently, as it’s crashed with the rest of the crypto’s in BTCs journey to the 9,000’s. It seems we’ve got a reprieve though, with indications of institutional reinforcement coming in to correct the price. I believe it likely with increasing interest in crypto for source liquidity (specifically XRP), many institutions may want large positions on xrp, and are taking it by forcing retail traders out of their early positions. This goes especially for anyone who invested in xrp after the impulse that it brought it towards the 30-50 cent ranges earlier this year. Something I find interesting: we’ve fallen back to retest the range before the impulse that lead to the XRP historic high despite interest in cryptocurrency being at all time highs with the bullish market earlier this year...
On the technical side I’ve used this harmonic along with indication a from the RSI that buyer strength is growing from the smaller time frames up (2HR-D) along with bars showing institutional interest after the completion of the harmonic.
While I have enough confirmation to enter this trade with confidence, I am acutely aware of the possibly price retests lower to source more liquidity before the big impulse. This recent drop should have given them enough to stop out some heavy retail selling positions entering the trend late.
Navigating the CHAOTIC Market : Simplified #XAUUSDSince Tuesday, price have made three consistent strikes of higher highs higher lows. A strong bullish, but short term, move it seems. What I saw was accumulation (marked with yellow box) and retail buy orders above it.
On Wednesday, there was a valid institutional tap on the liquidity pool and rightly so it moved down but only for an hour. A scalping method would've harvest some ROI there for sure.
Today as London opens, price enters deeper into the buy stops stacks and institutional offers consumed at least some of it.
This setup tells me XAUUSD could go down at least towards the intraday downside projection by NY close. Of course I can end up look like a moron if price breaks the liquidity pool and trade hundreds of points to the upside. I am sure there are a lot of buy stops (in a form of stoploss) above the Monday high that institutional would love to tap into.
Its a probability game. All i am saying the setup warrants me to set my intraday bias into Bearish mode. If it doesn't, move on and wait for the next setup. If it does, then cool!
Navigating the Market : Simplified #EUR #GBPYou would argue this is "simple" to spot (liquidity pools) because it is a hindsight 20/20 type analysis. I tell you what : Just simple mark weekly high/low and monday high/low, see how many times price have broken it and only to bounce back.
I am not saying price moves like that always but with little context (i.e looking at liquidity pools, sentiment analysis, fundamental analysis: In this case the GBP move to the upside was backed by the news about UK Govt to be prorogued, institutionals very often use these kind of stuff as a "smoking screen risk events.. which institutionals took advantage of , economic risk events like scheduled economic numbers), you can appreciate how repetitive it is.

Gold Analysis, via Daily ChartGold recently broke out of February's bullish flag pattern and broke pass that area of supply that is now demand (1350's area). Price is now floating in the Weekly Resistance area of 1428.30 and is creating an ascending broadening wedge pattern. There is also bearish divergence on the RSI indicator. These confluences are letting me know that this pair wants to reject resistance and push down, possibly to an area of demand.
C: Pre-earnings run pattern ahead of Monday reportCitigroup has a pre earnings run pattern which tends to be caused by Pro Traders setting up to take advantage of the earnings reaction. The company will report its 1st quarter earnings on Monday. C had a reactionary gap up at open caused by the JPM gap today. It formed an indecision day candle rapidly. The early gap could interfere with the technical patterns for the report release day.
JPM: Dark Pool rotation against buybacks ahead of earningsJPM kicks off the official earnings season this week with a report due out Friday. All attention will be drawn to these early banking industry reports that will set the tone for the entire 1st quarter earnings season. The stock has had buyback activity recently while some Dark Pools lowered their holdings. The chart shows patterns of Dark Pool rotation.
BAC: Big banks kick off earnings season, often set the toneEarnings Season is approaching soon again. The Big Banks are usually the first industry to kick off the earnings season and often provide an indication of how the earnings season will play out. Checking the largest banks' trendline patterns shows more selling than buying. BAC had 4 big down days recently and is now hovering at a gap support level. The bank may initiate buybacks to support the stock.
Still see the same level everyone else does. as mentioned in prior analysis, I short this pair due to every trader out there trading it long. "It's on a key level" or "insert chart pattern".
I've been thinking in terms of knowing that everyone else sees the same thing I do, so where are the banks gonna take price. This is an example.
Drew in some ghost candles on this one and look to use them more.
We may hate banks, but not that dough though!Can you even remember Ripple after all this Bitcoin hype? Maybe if you made a bet on the Swell conference.
Which I confess that I did, but not a big one :) This time though, I am taking a bigger position.
Fundamental
With BTC finally stopping its insane growth, it's time to take positions in alts. Preferably earlier then today, but Ripple still has a very nice buy price.
The big banks are with Ripple, there is no doubt about that! Out of the 100 biggest banks in the world, 11 is customers of Ripple already.
In fact, over 80 banks is connected with Ripple. That number is impressing, right? Well, it grows very rapidly and at one point Ripple could blow up real big. Not a pump big, REAL big. Way over my target, but thats in the future.
I could elaborate more on what makes Ripple a really good bet. However, thats something every investor should go read into themselves. This is the latest article from Ripple, a good read.
More information can be found on ripple.com .
I'm not saying to go all inn on Ripple, thats something you shouldnt do with anything. However I believe Ripple at this price is a nice bet!
Technical
This chart is against Bitcoin, because I believe that taking a bet on Ripple against BTC is better than against Dollar right now.
BTC is going down after a real nice bullrun and it will take time before Bitcoin is ready to move a significant amount upwards.
If you need more TA I would suggest drawing on the dollar chart, as I believe that is a better indicator on Ripple.
My target may change in the future depending on what happens with Bitcoin, but for now a 16k SAT target seems aight :)
Buy: 3100 SAT
Target: 16000 SAT
Support: 2500 SAT, and stops right below that.
