Countertrend

GOLD // How can it reach the correction fibo 38.2?The daily short countertrend is valid, and the W/D/H4 timeframes are in sync, resulting in my bearish view. As long as the daily impulse base is not broken by the buyers, there are two clean breakouts that may trigger the shorts and lead the price to the target zone. ——— We may not know what will happen, but we can prepare ourselves to respond effectively to whatever unfolds.

SOLANA // Will the correction reach 61.8?The daily short countertrend is valid, and the market has reached the correction fibo 50 level. The question is: will it reach 61.8? If the market can significantly break the last clear H4 breakout, it may have a chance. If it turns up, and there is a significant (trigger) candle in the long trigger zone, my target is the weekly target fibo 200. ——— Stay grounded, stay present. 🏄🏼‍♂️ Your comments and support are appreciated! 👊🏼

BITCOIN // Start of the weekly correction?After a nice expansion, Bitcoin has reached the weekly target fibo 300 and the monthly 200. From this level, the chance of a deep correction is significant. If the weekly candle closes like this, below the weekly impulse base, the market breaks the weekly structure and enters the correction space of the last weekly impulse. There may be a correction of the corrective impulse, but chances are high that it will turn below the peak and go south. There is a clean (not yet tested) H4 breakdown that triggers the longs. Below that, I'll be looking for short trades. I don't know anything about the fundamentals, though, can anyone enlighten me in the comments? ——— We may not know what will happen, but we can prepare ourselves to respond effectively to whatever unfolds.

GOLD // trade the correctionThe correction is valid, and the daily is in sync with H4 in the short countertrend. There is a clean (not yet tested) brekout on H4 that may stop the price from falling, but scale-in is possible when the valid H4 long countertrend breaks. Target zone is the daily 138.2 and the correction fibo 38.2 levels. ——— We may not know what will happen, but we can prepare ourselves to respond effectively to whatever unfolds.

DAX // Possible start of the CountertrendThe daily trend still holds at all-time highs and beyond every measurable target, but H4 has already turned south. The last clear breakout is on H1 at the countertrend line break, and the market crossed it by a couple of pips. Not significant, but still a close below the trigger level. The position should be closely watched at the daily impulse base. Either to close the trade, or to add to it. ——— We may not know what will happen, but we can prepare ourselves to respond effectively to whatever unfolds.

DAX // What needs to happen before the deep correction?The market has almost reached the daily target fibo 238.2 after an unbelievable run! But every impulse has a correction, so mabe it's time to be prepared. The H4 structure already broke, but there is no new wave, and there is a clear H1 breakout that may push the balance for the sellers. Smart money (my tick-by-tick volume analysis indicator) is selling for more than a week. The daily impulse base is very close, and may trigger sell orders. If there will be a huge fight, we may also see a sideways market for some time. ——— We may not know what will happen, but we can prepare ourselves to respond effectively to whatever unfolds.

ASX 200 futures could tease bears at these highsThe ASX 200 futures market has struggled to retest 8500, after a brief and uninspiring spell above it. Overnight gains on Tuesday were seen on low volumes, and Wall Street indices have provided a weak lead today. A bearish divergence has also formed on the daily and 1-hour chart. While prices have rebounded from the weekly pivot point, price action looks corrective. Hence the bias for it being a corrective channel that could break to the downside. If we see prices rise at the open, I am on guard for it being a 'last hurrah", which could make it a suitable market to fade into with a stop above the record high. The weekly pivot (8390), weekly VPOC (8348) and weekly S1 around 8300 make viable downside targets for bears. MS

GBP/USD Longs from this weekly demand This week, my analysis suggests that GU is likely to experience a bullish reaction from its current position. Price is sitting within a key weekly demand zone and has already surpassed the 50% retracement mark, signaling a potential area for long opportunities. At the current level, there is a 1-hour demand zone nearby, with another demand zone just below it. I plan to watch for price accumulation in these areas, particularly to take out the weekly low. Once that occurs, I’ll look for my lower time frame confirmation to enter long positions. My primary target will be the Asian session high near the supply zone above. Confluences for GBP/USD Longs: - Liquidity Targets: Significant liquidity rests above, including the Asian session high. - Supply Zone Mitigation: A strong supply zone above has yet to be mitigated. - Retracement Setup: The bearish trend suggests the need for a retracement upward. - Imbalances Above: Price has left clear imbalances that need to be filled. - Weekly Demand Zone: Price is currently reacting within a high-probability weekly demand area. P.S.: If price opens the week with bullish momentum but doesn’t provide a clear entry setup, I’ll shift my focus to the mitigation of the supply zone above. This would present potential sell opportunities to continue the broader bearish trend.

Market Scenario and Potential Buying OpportunitiesAnalysis of Key Support Levels and Candlestick Pattern Confirmation The financial markets are often characterised by their volatility and the constant ebb and flow of prices. In this intricate dance, key support levels play a pivotal role in determining the direction of market movements. This aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the current market scenario, focusing on two significant support levels, $2,378.36 and $2,327.67, and the potential buying opportunities that arise should the market break and close below these levels. Additionally, the importance of candlestick pattern confirmation at the $2,035.97 level for a Bullish Deep Crab Pattern setup will be emphasised. Understanding Support Levels Support levels are price points on a chart where a security tends to find buying interest as it falls. These levels often act as a floor by preventing the price from being pushed downward. Identifying such levels is crucial for traders, as they help in making informed decisions about entry and exit points in the market. In the current market scenario, the two significant support levels to watch are $2,378.36 and $2,327.67. These levels have historically shown strong buying interest and have acted as a base for price rebounds. However, should the market break and close below these critical levels, it signals a potential shift in market sentiment. Significance of the $2,378.36 Support Level The $2,378.36 level has been a key area of support in the recent trading history. A break below this level would suggest a weakening of the bullish sentiment, prompting traders to reassess their positions. It is essential to observe the market behaviour around this level closely. Importance of the $2,327.67 Support Level The $2,327.67 support level is another crucial price point. Historically, this level has provided a strong base for price recoveries. A break below this level would likely indicate a further decline in market confidence, leading to increased selling pressure. Waiting for Candlestick Pattern Confirmation In the event that the market breaks and closes below the two significant support levels, attention should then be directed to the $2,035.97 level. At this juncture, it is crucial to wait for a candlestick pattern confirmation. Candlestick patterns are graphical representations of price movements for a given period. They are widely used by traders to predict future price movements based on past patterns. In this scenario, a candlestick pattern confirmation is required to validate a potential buying opportunity. Potential Buying Opportunities at $2,035.97 The $2,035.97 level is significant for the Bullish Deep Crab Pattern setup. This advanced harmonic pattern is known for its precision in predicting price reversals. The Bullish Deep Crab Pattern consists of four distinct price movements that create a specific geometric pattern, indicating a potential reversal point. For a reliable trade entry, it is essential to wait for a candlestick pattern to confirm the validity of this setup. This confirmation ensures that the market is indeed reversing and increases the probability of a successful trade. The Bullish Deep Crab Pattern The Bullish Deep Crab Pattern is a harmonic pattern identified by its precise Fibonacci ratios. The structure of the pattern includes: Confirmation Candlestick Patterns Several candlestick patterns can serve as confirmation for the Bullish Deep Crab Pattern. These patterns provide visual cues to traders, signalling a potential shift in market sentiment. Waiting for these confirmations ensures that traders enter the market with a higher degree of confidence. Conclusion In summary, the market's behaviour around the significant support levels of $2,378.36 and $2,327.67 is crucial for determining future price movements. Should the market break and close below these levels, the $2,035.97 level becomes the focal point for potential buying opportunities. However, waiting for a candlestick pattern confirmation is essential to validate the Bullish Deep Crab Pattern setup. By adhering to these technical analysis principles, traders can make informed decisions, minimizing risk and maximizing potential returns. The importance of patience and confirmation cannot be overstated in achieving successful trading outcomes in a volatile market environment.

ASX to new highs, or fakeout in the making?The ASX 200 futures chart reached a record high on Wednesday, and momentarily traded above 8400. Yet repeatedly we see the market hold above this level (also note the weekly R3 pivot is within the area). A bearish divergence is forming on the 1-hour chart, so the bias is for a false break of the highs and retracement lower ahead of its next sustained record high. Bears could seek a move towards the 20-hour or 50-hour EMA, or bulls could wait for such a level to be respected as support before rejoining the bullish trend. *Take note that AU employment data is released in just over 1hr* MS

GBP/USD Bearish weakening, potential buys from 1.30500This week looks promising for my type of setups, with both sell and buy opportunities presenting decent prospects. I’ll be waiting for high-quality lower time frame confirmations before taking any trades. Depending on which point of interest (POI) gets hit, I’ll adjust, but ideally, I’m looking to sell from the supply zone down toward the demand zone. Once price reaches the 15-hour demand zone, I’ll shift to looking for buy opportunities, targeting the imbalances above and the untouched Asian session highs. Although the overall trend is bearish and sells look favorable, I plan to wait for a mitigation of the higher supply zones around 1.32500 before committing to any shorts. Confluences for GU Buys: - The refined 15-hour demand zone has caused a CHOCH to the upside. - There are significant imbalances and liquidity above that need to be filled. - For price to retrace to the supply zone, it must first move upward. - The US Dollar Index (DXY) is sitting in a strong supply zone, which could trigger a drop in the dollar, supporting bullish momentum for GU. Note: If the buy scenario doesn’t play out as planned, I’ll wait for a strong supply zone to sell from and continue the bearish trend. However, given that price is already in a higher time frame demand zone, I wouldn’t be surprised to see an upward push as early as Monday.
