PCC Spiking, Last Time was March 2020Wanted to get this posted for anyone who's got active trades open... particularly long positions.
$PCC above 1 is generally bearish, below 1 is generally bullish.... basically showing volume of Puts & Calls traded.
With Put trading spiking like this, extreme caution should be taken with tight stops.
Crash!!!!!
Is NIFTY50 in correction or crash mode?Update on last 4 NIFTY Predictions : 4/4 Correct with precise targets.
EMA150 is very curious.
In the 4 drawdowns of bear markets, it has touched when it was a crash
It bounced off from around 25% when it was just a correction
Sep 2022 - Looks like make or break. Coincidentally US Recession is more or less confirmed that month since June quarter GDP data is out. (2 Q -ve GDP is Recession)
EMA200 and EMA100 were conclusively broken or untouched at monthly for me to make any assumptions.
Massive Head and Shoulders Pattern BTC Weekly 2022Per Investopedia, a head and shoulders pattern is a chart formation that appears as a baseline with three peaks , where the outside two are close in height and the middle is highest . In technical analysis, a head and shoulders pattern describes a specific chart formation that predicts a bullish-to-bearish trend reversal.
The BTC weekly chart formed a MASSIVE head and shoulders pattern with a potential low as drastic as 10k.
The range is between 10,000 and 17,600
BNB is flirting with Hades!It broke $212 crucial support. Next short-term stop is at $140, but is a weak one.
Unfortunately, the next strong support is way way down to $45.
A strong BEARISH pattern on BTC! Next hit 12.5?!We made plenty of calls on why crypto should go down... from technical information to fundamental and they all agree, for now, that we are in a crypto blizzard and the "great crypto depression"
At the time of recording this Bitcoin was still above the support level... but at the time of uploading and typing the message we have a breakout of the support level and bearish action!
Anyhow, main point here is to learn this bearish continuation pattern as you can use it to earn pips the next time you see in on a stock, currency, commodity or cryptocurrecny!
Good luck trading!
Bitcoin drop the mark $20,000 USDIn the weekly timeframe, Bitcoin drop the mark of $20,000 USD, The price it's around $18,900 USD and I suppose that Bitcoin could to reach the next support to $13,896 USD in what I mark here.
Also, Bitcoin could to be in the rane of $12k and $14k of possible consolidation to watch and to look if this will be the end of the bear market.
Another possible it's that Bitcoin could to crash below of $10k. But it's so far of the reality, but my perspective it's what I think that Bitcoin could to reach $13,800 USD. approx.
SOL crash patternI copy and past this pattern of steps that seems to be pointing to a continued bear run? But we should be dollar cost averaging here to add coins no mater how low it go's because it will go up and everyone needs a 4 year investment plan.
(for new investors ) Crypto runs 4 year cycles. we just went down for 4 years, not we collect for this last year before we run up to $800 by 2026. I say $800 because SOL is outperforming BTC and ETH in growth, and has been going up when they go down more and more as it becomes it's own beast. Low cost transactions will always beat ETH and SOL will by 2030 knock ETH to #3 as SOL becomes #2. How I will invest in this is placing 4 year long position and shorting some. 50% stays in and never is taken out until 2026 when it then rides short for the next 4 year bear run. The other 50% I will buy low sell high all the way. Adding coin to both long and short each month to grow the investments. This is basically how everyone SHOULD be trading each coin or stock. and you should have no less than 5 coins and 5 stocks you do this to. Some people set it and forget it. This is a safe way to invest. For example. BTC will always go up in value for ever as soon no new coin will be made, so supply and demand as popularity grows, more money will buy more coin, so Your basically always buying to add coin and never sell until you wish to retire and at this point, you would just use a debit card from your crypto acct to pay bills and get a % reward back in what they offer. Right now I use USD out of my Crypto acct to pay for everything, I then get 4% to 5% back in coin of choice (witch ever is paying best at the time) I then convert to BTC, ETH, SOL as they are my guarantee growth coin. Now my money is working for me for free and I'm getting paid to pay my bills. (cash back) or coin back, LOL.
I think Bull run will start soon, by July. So hang tight, and my Favorite coin for this run is SOL for most % of profit to be made. BTC will always be king, but for the next 4 years I'm betting on SOL to shock the world with performance and upgrades that will set a new trend in the way the World has never seen before.
Have a great weekend,
and never invest more than you can afford to lose and never take anything anyone says as financial advice unless your paying them for it.
BTC Short Position Levels to look forThese are the levels I am watching for over the next couple weeks. At Yellow marked levels I expect to see some leveling out in lower accumulation prices. Eyeing 14k after 18k.
Hoping this helps some make sight of the larger macro downtrend picture.
Overall 14k is where I believe ETH and BTC will start to see each other in a closer price match.
BTC, the unprecedented crash(avoid becoming the exit liquidity)Bitcoin's price action can be best described by its tendency to create numerous fake S&R levels & S&D zones to confuse retail traders. Now that it's testing the previous cycle high & 200wma(which has historically signaled the cycle bottom), retail can fall once again into the trap of consistently buying the dip on each low.
With the inflation soaring, interest rates at levels the likes of which has not been seen in a long time, and a looming recession, I can't see neither 20k nor 200wma as the cycle bottom .
Bitcoin will most likely visit its origin at around 10k range. Next stop is the flip level at 4k. Each and every rally to supply areas is a fake rally in my opinion.
Significant price action needs significant shift in sentiment & attitude of retail traders. Sub 15k is easily in the cards for now.
Lastly, don't become the big player's exit liquidity at these tough times in the world.
Invest wisely.
(FaN-)
"The consumer is in great shape" - The Big Lie of 2022 They will tell you we are in great shape all the way down & they will raise raise raise rates until we create a triple bottom to 1999 -2010 (red line).
This will be the point where you want to unload the wheelbarrow and buy everything - SPX - BTC - ETH - SOL
They can't stop the carnage simply because it's not their priority. Just go touch some grass until we reach the red line.
BTC = $14000
ETH = $250
SOL = $3
DOGE = $.001
SPX = 2000
Cheers to the worst crash in our lifetimes and the best buying opportunity of the decade.
BTC rejection (weekly red candle close) BTC has stayed below the previous support for two weeks. It’s only a matter of time before a drop further to the downside. I’m not a financial advisor, but you must keep in mind 3 factors that confirm more bleeding for BTC.
1. Downward Trend ( Heiken Ashi multiple weekly red candle closes)
2. No support (broken support).
3. BTC has always corrected 80% from its ATH. Right now, BTC is only at 44% from its previous ATH.
The 5 Crashes That Shook The Markets.A very brief look at 5 of the most significant market crashes to date, using the Dow Jones Index.

Great Crash 1929
Many factors likely contributed to the collapse of the stock market. Among the more prominent causes were the period of rampant speculation (those who had bought stocks on margin not only lost the value of their investment, they also owed money to the entities that had granted the loans for the stock purchases), tightening of credit by the Federal Reserve,
the proliferation of holding companies and investment trusts (which tended to create debt), a multitude of large bank loans that could not be liquidated, and an economic recession that had begun earlier in the summer.
During the mid- to late 1920s, the stock market in the United States underwent rapid expansion. It continued for the first six months following President Herbert Hoover’s inauguration in January 1929.
The prices of stocks soared to fantastic heights in the great “Hoover bull market,” and the public, from banking and industrial magnates to chauffeurs and cooks, rushed to brokers to invest their liquid assets or their savings in securities, which they could sell at a profit.
Billions of dollars were drawn from the banks into Wall Street for brokers’ loans to carry margin accounts. The stock market stubbornly kept on climbing. That is, until October 1929, when it all came tumbling down.
Catching on to the market's overheated situation, seasoned investors began "taking profits" in the autumn of 1929. Share prices started to stutter.
They first crash on Oct. 24, 1929, markets opened 11% lower than the previous day. After this "Black Thursday," they rallied briefly. But prices fell again the following Monday. Many investors couldn't make their margin calls.
Wholesale panic set in, leading to more selling. On "Black Tuesday," Oct. 29, investors unloaded millions of shares — and kept on unloading. There were literally no buyers.
The rapid decline in U.S. stocks contributed to the Great Depression of the 1930s.
The Great Depression lasted approximately 10 years and affected both industrialized and non industrialized countries in many parts of the world.
When Franklin D. Roosevelt became President in 1933, he almost immediately started pushing through Congress a series of programs and projects called the New Deal. How much the New Deal actually alleviated the depression is a matter of some debate — throughout the decade, production remained low and unemployment high.
But the New Deal did more than attempt to stabilize the economy, provide relief to jobless Americans and create previously unheard of safety net programs, as well as regulate the private sector. It also reshaped the role of government, with programs that are now part of the fabric of American society.
Black Monday 1987
Many market analysts theorize that the Black Monday crash of 1987 was largely driven simply by a strong bull market that was overdue for a major correction.
1987 marked the fifth year of a major bull market that had not experienced a single major corrective retracement of prices since its inception in 1982. Stock prices had more than tripled in value in the previous four and a half years, rising by 44% in 1987 alone, prior to the Black Monday crash.
The other culprit pinpointed as contributing to the severe crash was computerized trading. Computer, or “program trading,” was still relatively new to the markets in the mid-1980s.
The use of computers enabled brokers to place larger orders and implement trades more quickly. In addition, the software programs developed by banks, brokerages, and other firms were set to automatically execute stop-loss orders, selling out positions, if stocks dropped by a certain percentage.
On Black Monday, the computerized trading systems created a domino effect, continually accelerating the pace of selling as the market dropped, thus causing it to drop even further. The avalanche of selling that was triggered by the initial losses resulted in stock prices dropping even further, which in turn triggered more rounds of computer-driven selling.
A third factor in the crash was “portfolio insurance,” which, like computerized trading, was a relatively new phenomenon at the time. Portfolio insurance involved large institutional investors partially hedging their stock portfolios by taking short positions in S&P 500 futures. The portfolio insurance strategies were designed to automatically increase their short futures positions if there was a significant decline in stock prices.
On Black Monday, the practice triggered the same domino effect as the computerized trading programs. As stock prices declined, large investors sold short more S&P 500 futures contracts. The downward pressure in the futures market put additional selling pressure on the stock market.
In short, the stock market dropped, which caused increased short selling in the futures market, which caused more investors to sell stocks, which caused more investors to short sell stock futures.
A key consequence of the Black Monday crash was the development and implementation of “circuit breakers.” In the aftermath of the 1987 crash, stock exchanges worldwide implemented “circuit breakers” that temporarily halt trading when major stock indices decline by a specified percentage.
For example, as of 2019, if the S&P 500 Index falls by more than 7% from the previous day’s closing price, it trips the first circuit breaker, which halts all stock trading for 15 minutes. The second circuit breaker is triggered if there is a 13% drop in the index from the previous close, and if the third circuit breaker level is triggered – by a 20% decline – then trading is halted for the remainder of the day.
The purpose of the circuit breaker system is to try to avoid a market panic where investors just start recklessly selling out all their holdings. It’s widely believed that such a general panic is to blame for much of the severity of the Black Monday crash.
The temporary halts in trading that occur under the circuit breaker system are designed to give investors a space to catch their breath and, hopefully, take the time to make rational trading decisions, thereby avoiding a blind panic of stock selling.
The Federal Reserve responded to the crash in four distinct ways: (1) issuing a public statement promising to provide liquidity, as needed, “to support the economic and financial system”; (2) providing support to the Treasury securities market by injecting in-high-demand maturities into the market via reverse repurchase agreements; (3) allowing the federal funds rate to fall from 7.5% to 7.0% and below; and (4) intervening directly to allow the rescue of the largest options clearing firm in Chicago.
Dotcom Bubble 2000
The dotcom crash was triggered by the rise and fall of technology stocks. The growth of the Internet created a buzz among investors, who were quick to pour money into start-up companies.
These companies were able to raise enough money to go public without a business plan, product, or track record of profits. These companies quickly ran through their cash, which caused them to go under.
The Internet bubble, grew out of a combination of the presence of speculative or fad-based investing, the abundance of venture capital funding for start-ups, and the failure of dotcoms to turn a profit.
Investors poured money into Internet start-ups during the 1990s hoping they would one day become profitable. Many investors and venture capitalists abandoned a cautious approach for fear of not being able to cash in on the growing use of the Internet.
With capital markets throwing money at the sector, start-ups were in a race to quickly get big. Companies without any proprietary technology abandoned fiscal responsibility. They spent a fortune on marketing to establish brands that would set them apart from the competition. Some start-ups spent as much as 90% of their budget on advertising.
Record amounts of capital started flowing into the Nasdaq in 1997. By 1999, 39% of all venture capital investments were going to Internet companies. That year, most of the 457 initial public offerings (IPOs) were related to Internet companies, followed by 91 in the first quarter of 2000 alone.
The high-water mark was the AOL Time Warner megamerger in January 2000, which became the biggest merger failure in history.
As investment capital began to dry up, so did the lifeblood of cash-strapped dotcom companies. Dotcom companies that reached market capitalizations in the hundreds of millions of dollars became worthless within a matter of months. By the end of 2001, a majority of publicly-traded dotcom companies folded, and trillions of dollars of investment capital evaporated.
The bubble ultimately burst, leaving many investors facing steep losses and several Internet companies going bust. Companies that famously survived the bubble include Amazon, eBay, and Priceline.
The US government would date the start of the dot-com recession as beginning in March 2001. And by the time of the economic shock from the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, there was no longer any doubt. In that tragic month of September, for the first time in 26 years, not a single IPO came to market. The dot-com era was over.
Global Financial Crisis 2008-2009
The crisis, often referred to as “The Great Recession,” didn’t happen overnight. There were many factors present leading up to the crisis, and their effects linger to this day.
The foundation of the global financial crisis was built on the back of the housing market bubble that began to form in 2007. Banks and lending institutions offered low interest rates on mortgages and encouraged many homeowners to take out loans that they couldn’t afford.
With all the mortgages flooding in, lenders created new financial instruments called mortgage-backed securities (MBS), which were essentially mortgages bundled together that could then be sold as securities with minimal risk load due to the fact that they were backed by credit default swaps (CDS). Lenders could then easily pass along the mortgages – and all the risk.
Outdated regulations that weren’t rigorously enforced allowed lenders to get sloppy with underwriting, meaning the actual value of the securities couldn’t be established or guaranteed.
Banks began to lend recklessly to families and individuals without true means to follow through on the mortgages they’d been granted. Such high-risk (subprime) loans were then inevitably bundled together and passed down the line.
As the subprime mortgage bundles grew in number to an overwhelming degree, with a large percentage moving into default, lending institutions began to face financial difficulties. It led to the dismal financial conditions around the world during the 2008-2009 period and continued for years to come.
Financial stresses peaked following the failure of the US financial firm Lehman Brothers in September 2008. Together with the failure or near failure of a range of other financial firms around that time, this triggered a panic in financial markets globally.
Many who took out subprime mortgages eventually defaulted. When they could not pay, financial institutions took major hits. The government, however, stepped in to bail out banks.
The housing market was deeply impacted by the crisis. Evictions and foreclosures began within months. The stock market, in response, began to plummet and major businesses worldwide began to fail, losing millions. This, of course, resulted in widespread layoffs and extended periods of unemployment worldwide.
Declining credit availability and failing confidence in financial stability led to fewer and more cautious investments, and international trade slowed to a crawl.
Eventually, the United States responded to the crisis by passing the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which used an expansionary monetary policy, facilitated bank bailouts and mergers, and worked towards stimulating economic growth.
Covid Crash 2020
The 2020 crash occurred because investors were worried about the impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.
The uncertainty over the danger of the virus, plus the shuttering of many businesses and industries as states implemented shutdown orders, damaged many sectors of the economy.
Investors predicted that workers would be laid off, resulting in high unemployment and decreased purchasing power.
On March 11, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the disease a pandemic. The organization was concerned that government leaders weren't doing enough to stop the rapidly spreading virus.
Investors had also been jittery ever since President Donald Trump launched trade wars with China and other countries.
Under both the Trump and Biden administrations, the federal government passed multiple bills to stimulate the economy. These included help directed at specific sectors, cash payments to taxpayers, increases in unemployment insurance, and rental assistance.
These measures further soothed investors, leading to additional gains in the stock market. Investors were also encouraged by the development and distribution of multiple COVID-19 vaccines, which began under the Trump administration.
The driving forces behind the stock market crash of 2020 were unprecedented. However, investor confidence remained high, propelled by a combination of federal stimulus and vaccine development.
WORST yet to come. Crypto's bubble bursting? Maybe.Disclaimer: This is a Newbie analyses with no past Experience!
Don't get me wrong, I love everything about Crypto and appreciate being alive to witness this astonishing technology.
Some people have made fortunes, others lost fortunes and salute to those STILL HODLING. 2020-2021 was INSANE, everything was hitting the roof, people invested pennies and got rich. But this time its different, this year is different, I mean BITCOIN BTC is down 53%.
I CAN'T help but to think that we are witnessing something similar to the DOTCOM Bubble of the 90s. Where:
-Money was everywhere
-New start-ups were emerging everyday,
-Hell, NASDAQ reached 5048, at its peak, then plummeted to 1114 in Oct 2002.
Similarly,
-Money was everywhere in the Crypto space,
-People made 100x-1000x-10000x on their investments.
-A dozen of new projects are emerging every single day.
- BITCOIN soared all the way to 65k USD in 2021, and now potentially it might bottom out to 11k-12k zone.
All this, with what the world is witnessing, GLOBAL WARS, RECESSION and INFLATION, I think we are at verge of CRYPTO's bubble bursting. However, it is not all bad news, if this scenario is executed, then after the crash, only the strong, most promising and solid projects will SURVIVE.
NOTE:
For further observation, open the NASDAQ Composite MONTHLY chart, set the year between (1995-2003), and compare it to CRYPTO's Total (2018-2022).
This is not a financial advise!
Please comment your ideas about the analyses.
Appreciate your constructive comment and feedback in advance.
BTC SUPPORT LINES AND GAME OVER RIP LINE. This chart I am showing you what I think are the support lines that must hold or down to the next is 100% guarantee. Note the 3k line IF we go down that far must hold or DEFI is dead and all coin is nothing but a memory of how the world lost money. Also know that the longer we go down and stay down, the bigger the recovery will be. This is crazy and stay clear of alts, some will die. My TOP TEN LIST, of coin I think will recover best are in no particular order are. BTC, ETH, SOL, MATIC, CRO, SHPING, DOT, AVA, ADA, UNI. No I did not list meme coins because they are manipulated by twitter critters who just smell MUSKY to me. I think 10K is going to hit and I hope hold, but no one knows anything anymore at this point, Best of luck to you all, I might place some more at 10K but I want to see 3 steps up before I go long with a real investment. It will go up, just have to wait months or years, No one knows anymore, until lending coins stop failing. But things happen in 3's and watch for big time regulations to hit hard as feds get protective due to all them crying eyes who did not believe the crash, heck, this deep down got me off guard. I thought 23K would be it. I was wrong. Be safe, Be smart, and get wealthy my friends.
