A Practical Guide For Candlestick Patterns!Intraday trading is a method of investing in cryptocurrencies where the trader buys and sells cryptocurrencies on the same day without any open positions left by the end of the day. Intraday traders aim to either purchase a cryptocurrency at a low price and sell it at a higher price or short-sell a cryptocurrency at a high price and buy it at a lower price within the same day. This requires a good understanding of the market and relevant information to help them make the right decisions. In the cryptocurrency market, the price of a cryptocurrency is determined by its demand and supply, among other factors.
Tools such as candlestick chart patterns are very helpful to traders. We will discuss these candlestick charts and offer steps to help you read them.

GBPAUD Trade Setup: Bearish ChannelGBPAUD has piqued my interest from a mid to long-term perspective. I'm looking at two potential shorting opportunities:
Key Levels:
- Short Entry on Resistance Retest: 1.9212
- Bearish Channel Indication: As long as this channel isn't violated, it strengthens the bearish bias.
I'll be looking for shorting opportunities on both the 4-hourly and 1-hourly charts based on these indications.

GBPUSD: A Cautionary Tale of Potential Bearish PatternsWhile the daily chart shows a potential Bearish Butterfly Pattern, my experience suggests this might not play out as expected - or it could be a significant warning sign for traders.
If you're considering shorting GBPUSD, I'd recommend a type 2 retest on the Bearish Deep Gartley Pattern at 1.2756 as a more reliable entry point.

Historical Bitcoin Monthly candle Colours - MAY - JUNE and beyod
So, as we come tot he close of MAY 2024, short of a Catastrophe today, MAY will close Green for the 7th time in Bitcoin History, bringing the score to 7 Green - 6 Red for May
The Current score for June is 7 Green - 5 Red
On 4 occasions, we have had a Green June after a Green May, so odds are higher we will see a Green June, though is os NOT a guarantee..
However, Only on 3 occasions have we seen a Green July after a Green June.
PA has never had a Green Red Green before June. I.e. Green March, Red April, Green May
But in 2018 , we had a Red Green Red. i.e Red March, Green April, Red May and we followed with a Red June......This was After the 2017 ATH and the overall PA declined for a further 8 months, though there were small green candles in that time.
The candles are dependant on Bull / Bear Market and I encourage you to look into this.
IF we are in a BULL market now, we may continue the opposite of what happened in 2018 ?
Only time will tell
Buybacks vs. Rotation: JPM and AAPLMany companies are flush with cash right now, so buybacks are going to increase. Buybacks can create plenty of swing trading opportunities.
Buybacks are used by the Board of Directors to drive price upward, or at least maintain price at a certain level. They also remove outstanding shares from public exchanges. The Percentage of Shares Held by Institutions (PSHI) is based on outstanding shares. So with fewer shares outstanding, it can help PSHI hold at a certain level. The Buy Side has been lowering inventory this year. See red arrows on the JPM chart.
In 2018, Buybacks boosted the index components and kept the market from continuing a bear market, which was already underway--a minor bear not a major one. Then in 2019, buybacks surged as the government cut corporate taxes massively. The cash on hand was enormous for most companies so they did mega buybacks, leading the move upward for index components that year. Then, in 2020 the pandemic stock market collapse completed that very odd delayed bear market.
Buyback candles are frequently solid white without wicks or tails. Buybacks often initiate strong swing-style runs, such as they have in $NYSE:JPM. See the blue arrows.
NASDAQ:AAPL also announced a huge buyback program in early May. This gives the Buy Side Institutions the opportunity to lower inventories of AAPL too, without disturbing price much, if at all. AAPL is in a sideways trading range, which is a tough pattern to trade since there is no consensus about what the company is doing to fuel future growth.
EurUsd Higher on ECB Rates Cut Rumors 🗿Hello traders! EurUsd has wasted no time and is seeing some buying pressure to kick off the week. We are 31 pips from the previous weeks high price as the Eur is being bought ahead of next week's Interest rate announcement by the ECB. Apparently the central bank will be cutting rates and so the market is moving on a "Buy the Rumor and Sell the news " sort of flow. How far can we pull up ahead of next week's announcement? Well we are already up 31 pips.. and our next weekly resistance zone is at 1.09427, or about 63 Pips away. I cant see why not, on this buy the rumor sell the news kind of flow, that we could reach that price level. The monthly candle is bullish after all and we are rejecting the monthly support level . So 1.09427 is our weekly bullish target. For the Short term, I liken pullback scalp buys off 1.08672 or scalp sells off 1.08845 daily level and 1.08945 4hr zone. The Daily candle today closed bullish, in line with the previous Daily candle from Friday.. which was a solid bullish candle in of itself. In our previous analysis, we were biased towards sells but after what the ECB policymakers are saying and the price action so far this week, we must remain flexible in our approach. We did suggest some places to look for longs in our previous analysis and did indeed callout potential longs, in advance, from the daily low of today at 1.08420 1hr support zone. The link for that analysis will be below so go check it out. Otherwise, safe trading everyone!
Friday Optimism carries into Monday's trading? ♦️Hello Traders. Welcome back to another Analysis. Last Weekly candle closed down 20 Pips on EurUsd.. which was quite a different picture from the previous 5 weeks. Through the second half of April and throughout most of May we observed alot of optimism and observed a decent rise in EurUsd. This sentiment came to a halt last week as EurUsd pulled down during most of the week as the USD made some gains.. that was until Friday when most of the gains were given up to the Eur as price climbed it's way back up. The 50 pip move down on Thursday, with better than expected PMI numbers for the USD, was corrected in it's entirety on Friday. Now What? Price is in a tight range to begin the week between 1.08524 4hr zone and 1.0845 4hr zone. Well the monthly candle on EurUsd is still quite bullish. It is the End of the month and this last week could see some hectic volatility, so we must be cautious. Either the Monthly candle will keep pushing up or it will pull back and create a larger top wick. We do have a very nice clean traffic area on EurUsd if we can get below 1.0835. We can decrease underneath there for 20 pips at the least down to the 1.08147 Daily Level. Ranges to trade within look quite messy to me to the upside. My Bias to begin this week will be short and we have the weekly candle closure last week to back us up. This doesn't mean that a solid 1hr candle closure off 1.08413 couldn't suggest decent buy scalp opportunities. My bias to begin Monday's trading is a decrease to the Weekly support level 1.08358. Safe trading. Not Financial Advice but purely for General Informational and Educational purposes only.
NZDJPY: A Buying Opportunity Amidst CautionHey traders!
If you're eyeing long XXXJPY pairs, I'd recommend keeping a close eye on NZDJPY. Here's why:
- Natural appreciation for NZDUSD could give your trade a boost
- Waiting for a retest on the trendline before entering a buy position
However, always remember to:
- Plan your trade carefully
- Be aware of the potential for BOJ intervention without warning
Stay vigilant and trade wisely!
GBPUSD - A Bullish Trend with a Cautionary NoteHey traders! Let's dive into the EUR/USD market analysis. While many are eyeing a shorting opportunity at 1.2743, leveraging RSI Divergence, it's crucial to acknowledge the overarching bullish trend on both daily and weekly charts.
Currently, the market is hovering around a critical support level at 1.2723. A 20-pip move might not be substantial, but it can be a telling sign. Here's what to watch out for:
If the market bounces from this support level, it could indicate a continued bullish trend.
A breakdown below 1.2723 might attract more sellers, potentially leading to a short-term correction.
Keep in mind that the bullish trend on higher time frames still holds sway. Let's monitor the market's reaction at this support level before making a move.
Stay vigilant, and let's trade wisely!
EURUSD Analysis: Strategic Approach in Volatility PhaseOn the Weekly Chart, this looks like a regular day strolling down the road of simple support and resistance trading.
This is when new traders got it all wrong!
On the Weekly Chart, sideway consolidation occurred. When sideway consolidation happens, market expansion, known as a volatility increase phase, will definitely follow.
From what we had, at this moment, I'll be more inclined to take a buying opportunity at 1.0842 on the 1-hourly chart than to short at 1.0852.
Of course, this is not a sure thing; always plan and follow your trade plan.
Ancient Trendline with RSI Divergence After a long wait, a trading opportunity that is worthy has resurfaced. I'd execute a long order on NZDUSD when it retest the trendline at 0.6096 and my initial stop-loss is at 0.6076(-20). TP1 will be at the immediate resistance and that's when I'll shift stops to entry.

GBPUSD. Levels for intraday trading 1.05.2024During the day you can trade from these price levels. Finding the entry point into a trade is up to you, depending on your trading style and the development of the situation.
If you expect any medium-term price movements, then most likely they will start from one of the zones.Relevant to use as a location for installing TP.
Levels are valid throughout the day, the date is in the title. The next morning I adjust the levels based on current data and publish a new post.
The history of level development can be seen in my previous posts. They cannot be edited or deleted. Everything is fair. :)
---------------------------------------
Levels are drawn before the European session, based on volumes and data from the CME. They are used as zones of interest for intraday trading. When approaching a level, a “reaction” is expected, which can be traded for both a rebound and a breakout. The worst option is if we revolve around the level in a flat.
Do not reverse the market at every level. If there is a trend movement, consider it as an opportunity to continue the movement. Until the price has drawn a reversal pattern.
TV does not allow publishing timeframes smaller than M15.Reactions to levels and the search for entry points are more convenient to look at M5-M1.

Beginning of Tuesday's trading.. Forex markets 😼Hello traders.. EurUsd is about 87 pips from our monthly support level at 1.057.. not too far. The closest we've come was last Tuesday during the hawkish fed speech. Protecting against higher inflation is indeed important and slowing down economic growth as a result may be the only way. The weekly candle is back to being at Break even. The Daily candle today closed slighty bearish, a doji candle really. We went down during London and retraced the move back p during NY session. TheLow of the day was 4 minutes after New York stock exchange open. We saw a nice continuation of momentum with the new NY 4hr candle, to follow London bearish momentum. However, this was short lived as 1hr candles never quite managed to dig below the 1.06336 weekly support level. It's safe to say at this point that we are ranging and the volatility this week has been low.. but I suppose it's only Monday. End of Monday and around Asian session to begin Tuesday's trading has a tendency to be a turning point in the market for a good run.. How far? not sure.. maybe we can see 30-40 pips down to structural lows and around the weekly level 1.06336 and the Daily level 1.06184. If price pulls up higher, 1.067 could bbe a good entry point for either a small scalp or longer hold back to structural lows as we jsut mentioned. Pay attention to how candles interact with 1.065.. this will give us hints about further direction.
Oil Pulls back off the Daily LowsOil decreased during London session as we were anticipating from our last Analysis. We are still anticipating a further decrease in the medium term but in the short term here we may pullback. This is what the price action is telling us as we have pin Bar candles on the 1hr and 4hr charts that printed at our 2 daily support level's 81.22 and 80.64. This suggests some bullishness in the short term and a possible retracment towards our 4hr resistance zone 82.52. Factors that support a Risk-On push include a decreasing Vix on the day, a intraday downtrend on the Gold price suggesting risk on sentiment.
A Classic Support & Resistance TradeI'd engaged in a classic Support and resistance trade with 1 single target and observed candlestick movement on a key turning point.
Shorted AUDCAD at 0.8845 and my Initial Stop-Loss is at 0.8864(-19pips)(~190usd/lot).
Once the market hit 0.8829, I would shift stop to entry(SLE), attaining a risk-free trade.
In between I do nothing!
THREE BLACK CROWS appear on the S&P500In the weekly frame on the S&P500 index, there is a pattern called three black crows and it is a bearish pattern that will lead to a downward move in the upcoming weeks.
in July and August 2023, the same pattern happened and the market rebounded for two weeks then the downward move began to make the index retrace about 9%
As we can see on the chart the index stopped at the Fibonacci support level in August and last week also, so we expect the rebound will be to the 5208 points level and a new correction will begin.
EurUsd: Short-Term Eur strength & Pullback possibleHello Traders.. Another week and more price action to anticipate in the Forex market. EurUsd: As we enter the 4th week of April our Monthly candle is still bearish with a solid bearish body. Last week we came very close to a Monthly support level at 1.057. The low of the week was on Tuesday and coincided with a Hawkish Fed speech. The weekly candle closed bullish and we now have a weekly support level at 1.0649. The weekly candle closed a small body doji - looking candle with a larger top wick. The new week gapped up 5 pips. The daily candle's price action from last week looks quite subdued. Looking for buys on EurUsd still apears risky to me as we still have hot jobs data and rising inflation. We had hawkish fed speech last week which means higher potential rates for the USD. This means USD could be increasingly used in the Carry trade, an even better reason to look for USD strength. Not much has changed and yes we can observe a pullback , with Eur Strength. Overall bearish on EurUsd but trading a pullback to the upside is definitely possible. We'll have to see how EurUsd reacts with the Daily resistance level 1.06726. The USD Index ended last week pulling back from a Daily Resistance level.. and we've done exactly that after 8 hours at the beginning of this new week. This could indicate Eur strength in the coming 2 sessions. Although I'm anticpating a higher Vix and lower Oil prices. It may be too early in the week for a Lower EurUsd.. we may observe short term Eur strength as a result.
