BluetonaFX - AUDUSD RANGE SETUPHi Traders!,
We are back inside the range zone on AUDUSD. After multiple breaks of the range zone, we have not continued with the direction of the break, which tells us that both buyers and sellers are currently undecided long term as to where to go from this area.
We have highlighted the range zone on the chart. Resistance to the zone is at 0.68183 and support is at 0.65664.
From analysing the price action on the chart, we recently had a pin bar morning star candle after a range zone break at the 0.64583 level. The pin bar morning star is a strong reversal candle pattern, therefore a push to the upside of the range may be on the cards here.
As long as we are above 0.65664 there are opportunities for long positions and with a look to exit near the top at 0.68183. To the downside, to look for a continuation, we must break and close below the pin bar morning star candle at 0.64583.
We will keep an eye on this in the next few days and will give you a progress update.
Please do not forget to like, comment and follow.
Thank you for your support.

A simple trading strategyEarning money can be as simple as waiting for the market to pull back to 0.6631 and waiting for a shorting opportunity.
Trading could be easy; what's not easy for most people is having the patience to wait for the trading opportunity.
They like to get involved in all moves. Mature traders will only wait for the best trading strategy and not get involve in every candlesticks move.
What kind of traders would you be?

A counter-trend move, is it a good ideaIf you have been following me for sometime, you would know that I've my bias in looking to long the US Dollar.
At this moment, there isn't such opportunity, but multiple shorting opportunity presents itself, in this moment, the bearish crab pattern, retest on the 4-hourly chart.
I will take the trade once the market has show the confirmation and will treat it as a counter-trend trade.
Did you miss NVDA's move? What now?NVDA's gap up on a stellar earnings report should NOT have been a surprise, as the chart has been showing strength since January when I mentioned it in my Morning Reports. It was completing the bottom at that time.
The trend upward was showing pro traders in control of price after Dark Pool quiet accumulation. It has 64% of the shares held by institutions, which is normal for a giant-cap stock. It should actually be a Dow 30 component rather than INTC but, alas, that won't happen for a while.
NVDA stair-stepped upward. This is probably one of the hardest trendline patterns to see without rectangles drawn around the step, but one of the most important to recognize professional buyer dominance.
What now? The gains are now extreme. And the pros are taking profits. That means there is very high risk for buying at this moment.
CAN it move higher? Of course! Euphoric retail buying can easily drive prices upward further for a short period of time. Just remember that without institutional buying at this level, any upside from here may be short-lived.
EAZE STRATEGY UP 20% ON ARBITRIUM My Eaze Strategies is a Strategy thats stress free base on it has just 1 or 2 entry per week and i have used it on Arbitrium(ARB) since they launched and we are Up 20%. In 9 and Half weeks since ARB launched i have heard 4 trades, three wins , 1 lost and 2 did not hit my entry and some did not play my Strategy criterial. if you want me to share this strategy like and follow.
EURUSD Bottom?Yesterday we saw a new low in the EURUSD as the daily candle once again remained tailed.
There are still no buying grounds on H1 and we expect a breakout of previous highs for confirmation.
Before then, we may see another decline and another pushback.
NFP data is due tomorrow, where we expect more volatility and possibly entry grounds.
Bottom on EURUSD?Yesterday EURUSD bounced from the levels below 1,0700, followed by sharp increase.
The daily candle closes high, and today we’ll see the close of the monthly as well.
There is still no confirmation of a trend reversal on H1 and we may see another decline.
We will look for an entry after confirmation, targeting 1.0900 and 1.1100.
The dollar remains strongEURUSD made a lower high yesterday and we now see a test of 1.0700 again.
We continue to watch for a breakout and exhaustion of the move.
While we wait for clear opportunities in the major pairs we are trading EURAUD where we are seeing a pullback from the support zone.
(We shared about this movement in yesterday's email.)
If the EURUSD continues to hold at these levels and the decline remains smaller than that of the AUDUSD, this will help the rise in the EURAUD.
EUR/USD - DO WE KEEP PUSHING DOWN?Hello everyone, what is EUR/USD next move? On higher TF's we see a big push to the downside but eventually the market is getting exhausted. We are waiting till the market makes a pushback to our 0.786 FIB level or just in between the 1 and the 0.7. If the bulls cant keep the market up we should get a push back further to the downside at our lower support zone.

History: A Brief History Of Candlesticks Introduction:
An important tool in financial analysis, the candlestick chart has a long, illustrious history that dates back several centuries. Candlestick charts, which have their roots in Japan, have developed into a popular way to visualize price changes and market patterns. Lets explore the intriguing history of candlestick charts, with special attention paid to their development, importance, and ongoing relevance in contemporary finance.
Origins in Japan:
Candlestick charts have their origins in Japan, specifically the Edo era in the 18th century. This novel approach to charting price changes is credited to a Japanese rice dealer by the name of Munehisa Homma. The "God of Markets," Homma, used candlestick charts to study and anticipate changes in the price of rice. His ideas and methods were recorded in a book titled "Sakata Rules," which served as the basis for this distinctive graphic display of market data.

Candlestick Chart Components:
Individual "candles," each of which represents a distinct time period (such as a day, week, or month) in the market, make up the basic building blocks of a candlestick chart. The open, high, low, and close prices are the four main elements that each candle is made up of. The upper and lower wicks or shadows of the candle indicate the peak and low prices that were experienced during the specified time period, while the body of the candle symbolizes the price range between open and close.
Popularization and Spread:
Candlestick charts were mostly exclusive to Japan up until the 19th century, when a British trader by the name of Charles Dow worked to bring them to the attention of the West. During his tour to Japan, Dow, the co-founder of Dow Jones & Company and architect of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, learned about candlestick charts. He translated Homma's findings and added candlestick analysis to his own technical analysis techniques after seeing their potential.

Further Development and Modern Application:
In terms of pattern recognition and interpretation, candlestick charts have improved and expanded over time. Steve Nison, an American trader who popularized candlestick analysis on Western financial markets, deserves most of the credit for this development. Nison carefully researched and built upon Munehisa Homma's studies, adding new candlestick patterns and improving the way they were interpreted. His 1991 publication of "Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques," which is now considered a classic, popularized candlestick charts among Western investors.

Today, traders, investors, and technical analysts utilize candlestick charts extensively across a variety of financial markets, including stocks, commodities, and currency. The visual depiction of price patterns and trends aids in spotting potential trend reversals, continuations, and market emotion, offering insightful information for making decisions.
Conclusion:
The development of candlestick charts is proof positive of the value of visual aids in financial analysis. Candlestick charts, which have its roots in Japan from the 18th century, have developed into a widely used and essential instrument in the world of trading and investment. These charts have been improved and adjusted for contemporary markets thanks to the work of pioneers like Munehisa Homma, Charles Dow, and Steve Nison, giving traders a thorough perspective of price movements and insightful knowledge about market dynamics. Candlestick charts are expected to keep guiding traders and assisting them in making educated judgments in the complex world of finance as time goes on.
