Chop Zone

GME new bullish momentum LONGGME on a weekly chart has clear the chop zone on that indicator and is now above the POC line of the long -term volume profile indicating that bullish momentum is greater than bearish momentum. I will take a long trade here targeting the pivot highs of 2022 for three quarters of the trade and the base of the high pivots of 2021 for the reminder. 21.7 below the POC line will be the initial stop loss to be moved to break even upon a price rise of 10% from the entry and then changed to a trailing loss of 10% upon another 10% price rise. I believe that GME is heavily shorted; Accordingly, a short squeeze could add to the push higher.

BTC: Surviving the Chop! / Visual MapMorning/Evening all! BTC has entered a very choppy range, which means the price moves in a tight range bouncing between many levels chopping positions of all market participants, shorts and longs alike. In this picture I have marked and mapped the choppy areas as well as the zones that should be considered Resistance and Support. There are two ways to use this chart depending on what you are looking for: A) SWING TRADING THE TREND If you have entries in the green (support) zone and you want to catch bigger moves then hold your positions until price goes into the red (resistance zone). If this happens pay attention to momentum. If the momentum is strong you might want to keep your positions and let the price pump higher (which means you will be looking at taking profit around 25-28k area). Ignore the chop zone completely. It's there to make you let go of your positions, lose money or both. B) SCALPING If you are interested in scalping every move then the orange (chop) zone is your bread and butter. You try to get entries at the lowest parts of this range and take profit at the highest parts of this range. Taking smaller scalps for example from the mid of that range (~20.8) to the top of the range still works but your R/R is much different. Proceed with caution. Have very tight stop losses. Look for any signs that might show you that we're about to break out of the chop zone and protect yourself if you are in an opposite trade. Last but not least: -- All lines should be considered approximates. This means you have to check for previous candle bodies near these lines to find the exact "mini-range" that each line belongs to. -- Blue/Red boxes (frames) are put/ask areas. They are areas where price previously found either mostly sellers or mostly buyers, therefore, the volume profile has a gap too (possible support/resistance areas) It's highly likely that we will enter an "Inside Week" structure which means I wouldn't be surprised if these ranges play out for a couple of more weeks. So, what's an "Inside Week" anyway? I will make another post about it and explain in detail. Stay tuned!!
