📊 What are Swing Points?📍Types of Swing Points A swing point on your chart is simply a turning point for price in the past, either to create a considerable pullback into an established trend, or to reverse it altogether. When a turning point creates a mere pullback it can be classified as a minor swing point. When it creates the base to reverse a trend, it is classified as a major swing point. 📍Why are swing high and swing low formed? A swing high and swing low is formed due to what is known as support and resistance. The technical explanation for support and resistance is as follows: 🔹 A support forms for the price when you notice that there are more buyers than sellers at a certain price. The demand for the asset or the stock overwhelms the supply and thus pushes price higher. 🔹 A resistance forms for price when you notice more sellers than buyers at the price level. In this case, price fails to move higher and therefore declines. Swing points are key levels we use in TA to identify potential trend reversals and support/resistance areas in the markets. Swing highs represent peaks in price movement , while swing lows represent valleys or troughs. You can find swing points by studying price charts, identifying peaks and valleys, and plotting them on the chart. By connecting swing points with trendlines, you can analyze patterns and assess potential support and resistance levels. Combining swing points with other technical indicators can enhance trading decisions. It's important to consider different time frames and use swing points as part of a comprehensive analysis approach. 👤 @QuantVue 📅 Daily Ideas about market update, psychology & indicators ❤️ If you appreciate our work, please like, comment and follow ❤️

Stock Market Logic Series #5We are going to discuss the concept of FAIR price and how it is related to momentum. This is also a missing piece of the puzzle related to the guppy moving averages. Which never explains the logic of fair price behind the moving averages. Just saying "traders are selling" or "investors are buying" without giving you the psychology behind the buying and selling. The psychology behind buying and selling: When you want something, you are willing to pay a premium on it, just to get it. When you don't want something, you are willing to give a discount on it, just to get rid of it. The Significance of Moving Averages in Stock Market Trading In stock market trading, moving averages play a significant role in determining the fair price of a stock. Fast moving averages represent the short-term fair price, while slow moving averages indicate the long-term fair price. These moving averages serve as important indicators for traders, helping them understand the price trends and make informed decisions. Trading Above the Fair Price: Strong Buyer Interest When trading is above the fair price, it signifies that buyers are highly interested in acquiring the stock, even if it means paying above the fair price. This increased buying pressure drives the price up, as individuals value the stock and are willing to pay a premium to secure it. This scenario presents an opportunity for traders to benefit from price appreciation. Go with momentum. Buying Opportunities: Trading Below the Moving Average Conversely, when the price of a stock falls below the moving average, it indicates a potential opportunity for investor buyers. In this situation, the previous owner of the stock may become anxious to sell and is willing to do so at a price below the fair value. This creates a favorable buying opportunity for investors, as the stock can be acquired at a discount or fair price. Trading Below the Fair Price: Anxious Sellers and Discounted Stocks Trading below the fair price implies that the old buyer is motivated to sell the stock quickly. They may be eager to get rid of their position, leading them to offer the stock at a price lower than its fair value. For trading purposes, this means momentum is down, and you should look for an opportunity to sell. If the price is dramatically traded below the fair price (away from MA) this could FLAG you that a trend reversal may just happens. Remember the psychology of buying and selling. Ask yourself, if someone wants it, how come this price is so cheap? Unfair Prices in a Downtrend: Waiting for Confirmation of a Decline Moreover, when you are in a downtrend, when the price is above the moving average, it indicates that the stock is trading at an unfair price. However, if you have insights or analysis suggesting that the price will decline in the future, it may be wise to wait for the short-term trend to shift. By observing the stock's movement and waiting for the price to fall below the yellow fair price (moving average), traders can confirm that selling is indeed happening before making their move. Getting in too early, with the wrong trading technique, will get you hurt. Assessing Market Conditions: Understanding Fair Prices and Moving Averages By understanding the dynamics of fair prices and their relationship with moving averages, traders can better assess market conditions. They can identify when prices deviate from their fair value and use this knowledge to their advantage. This insight allows traders to make informed decisions based on price trends, helping them maximize potential profits and minimize risks. Comprehensive Research: Beyond Fair Prices and Moving Averages If you could couple of other factors that support your view of FAIR price. You can consider various factors such as company fundamentals, industry trends, and market sentiment to complement your understanding of fair prices and moving averages. Enhancing Trading Strategies: Incorporating Technical Indicators In addition to fair prices and moving averages, traders should also consider other technical indicators and tools to enhance their trading strategies. These may include volume analysis, trend lines, support and resistance levels, and oscillators. By incorporating multiple indicators, you can gain deeper insights into market movements and improve your ability to identify profitable opportunities. Adapting to Market Dynamics: Continuous Learning in Stock Market Trading Understanding the concept of fair prices in relation to moving averages is just one piece of the puzzle. Successful traders continually adapt and refine their strategies based on market conditions, new information, and evolving trends. By staying informed, conducting a thorough analysis, and employing sound trading principles, you can increase your chances of success in the stock market. Hope this helps you, follow for more. Like this post to save it to your ideas for future reference, so you will not forget this principle.

AAVE Looks Very Bullish!There's not much room/time left for AAVE to consolidate. AAVE has been making lower highs but holding support at the lows as well. After the next potential selloff to the golden pocket or the range lows, I would expect AAVE to make a very big move once the downtrend line is broken decidedly and the price consolidates above. BULLISH ONCE TRENDLINE BREAKS! Every day the charts provide new information. You have to adjust or get REKT. Love it or hate it, hit that thumbs up and share your thoughts below!

P&G Target $135Procter & Gamble is in a weekly uptrend but was hitting its „head“ on the 158.00 resistance. After consolidating there it fell through the local higher low, building a new lower low and is currently retracing to that former local low which acts now as a resistance. The stock showed large sell volume on that resistance last friday which suggests we might se another break down to the current support at 135.00. We have two problems to consider in this trade: 1. The XLP (Index for Consumer Staples, with P&G as its biggest position) is currently more on a support than resistance and might suggest an upward move. That could mean P&G breaks through the 150.00 and is heading higher. 2. The yellow trend line was not broken yet. As a price action trader this is more of a minor problem to me because trend lines are artificial and only an indication for specific price action but should not be mistaken as price action itself. I therefore suggest to wait what happens today. If we see further downward movement, the trade could be taken. If we remain at the 150.00 resistance without larger sell volumes we should skip this one. Also, do not forget that consumer staples show steady performance during recessions and inflation periods because of the nature of their products. Not a primary concern for technical traders but it should be kept in mind. — 🐻 Trade Idea: Short - PG 🔥 Account Risk: 1.00% 📈 Recommended Product: Knockout / Option 🔍 Entry: +/- 147.00 🐿 DCA: No 😫 Stop-Loss: 155.00 🎯 Take-Profit #1: 135.00 (75%) 🎯 Trail Rest: Yes 🚨🚨🚨 Important: Don’t forget to always wait for strong confirmation once possible entry zone is reached.

BTC ANALYSIS 5/7/23BYBIT:BTCUSDT.P Hey guys after a few days away from the charts i am now back! i did an awesome 10km run on sunday morning and then have been unavailable since then SO it feels good to beback and lets get stuck into our first BTC analysis back. I am keeping this very extra basic right now because i have been away i dont just want to go and rush into something so im thinking this is still a crucial point and we could spike up a fair amount ALTHOUGH the OB on the left has us stuck so i will be letting this play out for now until i make any moves (still should be room for scalps) so we can look at scalping but all in all still looks great! i will touch base on this later on when my mind is more refreshed. Thanks guys.

GOLD will fall more currently the gold is moving between a bearish channel and is broken below the weekly resistance ..in that case it would be fall more until 1880 weekly support which was previous resistance .in that point gold seems quite bearish .we can see the daily demand around 1910 area was actived and price moved to 1930-1936 area again. on other hands , IF the gold trade above 1940 means ,the bulls back in to tha market then turn the trend to bullish side .currently we are only looking for gold selling opportunities until it trade below 1930 and 1940 area. also the MACD histogram is giving a negative signal and that means there has a higher probability to sell on gold good luck for this week..

BTC: Tired bulls against raging bearsThe 30K psychological range was strong, since price orbited for days around it, as you've seen. But Bitcoin's price has recently started to decline, primarily due to the impact of the violet line on the ascending price candles. This impact can be seen as a signal to the bulls that they have hit a resistance level and should exercise caution. While it is not always the case, many times when the violet line touches the price, it triggers a reversal. In my previous post, I estimated this "impact" to occur around 31,200. However, it actually happened at a lower price two hours ago, as indicated on the chart. Based on current conditions, I don't anticipate the price reaching or surpassing 31,500 in the near future. Consequently, I am currently adopting a short position in my approach, but I am waiting for the price to fall below the WHITE "stairs" line twice to confirm this short scenario. There was a fakeout crossing of the red and blue lines, which should have occurred but didn't. This indicates that the bears have enough strength locally, particularly within the 1-hour period. My short-term forecast remains the same as in my previous post: the price is likely to drop to 29,500 and linger there momentarily before further descending to the range of 28,000-28,500. Around the 28,000 mark, we will need to conduct another analysis to determine if the price is inclined to go as low as 25,000 or even lower, or if it will rebound instead. Please do not rely solely on my words. Conduct your own thorough analysis, re-analyze the data, and make your own decisions. Trading is a challenging endeavor that requires careful consideration.

Sideways Trend Example: ❗️Unleashing the Secrets of the Forex Market: Identifying Trends Made Easy❗️ 💲As traders, one of the most essential skills is the ability to identify trends. In this article, we will embark on a journey to unravel the mysteries of the forex market trends like never before. So, fasten your seatbelts, get ready for an adventure, and let's dive in! ↗️The Smooth Sailing - Uptrends: Picture yourself in a sailboat on a calm, sunny day, with the wind gently pushing you forward. This pleasant scenario beautifully represents an uptrend in the forex market. Uptrends occur when the price of a currency pair consistently increases over time. To identify an uptrend, keep an eye out for higher highs and higher lows on your price charts. Uptrend Example: ↘️Rough Waters - Downtrends: Now, let's transform our tranquil sailboat into a powerful vessel battling against fierce waves and gusty winds. Similar to this scenario, a downtrend indicates a series of declining prices in the forex market. To recognize a downtrend, look for lower lows and lower highs on your price charts. Downtrend Example: 🔄The Eye of the Storm - Sideways Trends: Imagine yourself caught in the eye of a storm, where the winds calm down, and the waves become gentle ripples. This serene moment perfectly mimics a sideways trend in the forex market. Sideways trends occur when the price moves within a relatively tight range, lacking a clear direction. To spot a sideways trend, locate horizontal support and resistance levels, and observe price movements bouncing between them. Sideways Trend Example: 📊Interpreting the Elements - Indicators: Just as sailors use compasses and maps to navigate the open seas, traders have powerful tools at their disposal to identify trends in the forex market. Technical indicators, such as Moving Averages, MACD, and RSI, provide valuable insights by analyzing past price data. These indicators can help confirm and strengthen your trend analysis. 📈The Art of Patience - Confirming Trends: Sometimes, identifying trends in the forex market can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. Therefore, it is crucial to exercise patience before jumping into trades. Waiting for confirmation is vital to avoid false signals. Look for multiple indicators aligning with your identified trend before making any decisions. 💹Riding the Waves - Trend Trading Strategies: Once you've identified a trend in the forex market, it's time to ride the waves and potentially profit from it. Trend trading strategies involve jumping on board during an established trend and holding positions until signs of a reversal appear. By keeping emotions in check and adhering to risk management principles, you can increase your chances of success in trend trading. 🧠Conclusion: Navigating the vast and ever-changing forex market can seem like an exhilarating adventure. By mastering the art of trend identification, you hold the key to unlocking potential profits. Remember, whether you're sailing through uptrends, weathering downtrends, or calmly cruising sideways trends, a combination of technical indicators, confirmation, and patience should guide your decision-making. So embrace the wonder of the forex market, and may your trend-spotting skills be forever sharp! 😸Thank you for reading buddy, hope you learned something new today😸 Do you like this post?

IWM: Something is Rotten in the State of MarketsPrimary Chart: IWM on a weekly timeframe with downtrend line and major support and resistance zones Note1: IWM is an iShares ETF that represents the Russell 2000 small-cap index in the United States. Though not as widely tracked as SPX, NDX, or DJIA, the Russell 2000 ( TVC:RUT ) is one of the major US indices. It is likely the fourth most watched US index. Note2: The phrase "something is rotten in the state of Denmark" is a well-known line from Shakespeare's play Hamlet used to describe a situation where something is wrong or even corrupt within a government, institution, or system. No corruption is intended to be implied discussed. The title's allusion to this phrase is meant to suggest only that something is off / wrong in the markets, i.e., that everything is not well despite the strength of the Nasdaq 100 lately and the support seen in SPX. The Russell 2000 (IWM) is often a leading indicator in US markets. It led to the downside in early November 2021 after a false breakout out of its 2021 topping-pattern's resistance around $234. SPX topped nearly two months later on January 4, 2022. While small-caps are not necessarily always the first to make a move, it is something frequently cited by commentators and analysts. The primary chart shows how IWM has struggled below the upper blue rectangular zone, a resistance / supply zone going back to highs in March and April 2022. This zone also rejected price at the end of the impressive August 2022 rally that had everyone debating whether the bull-market had returned in earnest. Lastly, on February 2, 2023, IWM was unable to even tag the lower edge of this zone, eking out a high at $199.26. The lower edge of this blue resistance zone as drawn here is at HKEX:200 - HKEX:201 approximately. The Primary Chart above also shows an important Fibonacci support level at $170. This the 50% retracement of the entire bull market from the 2020 Covid lows to the highs in November 2021. This has also marked important support since late October 2022 (a week or two after the October 2022 lows). Notice the weekly candle wicks protruding below this line but recovering back above it. The final point about the Primary Chart is the down TL from the all-time high in magenta. This was broken to the upside, which was one of the reasons many market participants and commentators got excited about the bear being complete. That trendline was retested in late March 2023. But despite this positive development, IWM has not acted well. In fact, it has broken decisively below a multi-month upward trendline from October 2022 lows as shown on the Primary Chart as well. This trendline was also important and signifies weakness on the decisive break below it. On the larger scale, price is trapped between the blue rectangular zones of support and resistance. Until these break, not much progress is likely in either direction. Sideways action is likely for the coming weeks. The one thing that would negate the sideways action view is a clean break back below the down trendline from the all-time high. So keep an eye out for that development. Next, Supplementary Chart A.1 and A.2 below shows a hypothetical illustration of how price could move sideways for the coming weeks / months before a flush below major support (if one is bearish about equities generally) or a rally above the key resistance zone (if one is bullish about equities generally). SquishTrade gives an edge to the bears in the intermediate to longer-term time frames—as long as price stays below both (1) the uptrend line from October 2022 lows, and (2) the key Fibonacci levels of the most recent decline (shown on the Primary Chart at $183.36 and $187.11). Supplementary Chart A.1 (measured corrective move upward where the legs of the corrective move might be equal or share a 1.272 Fibonacci relationship) Supplementary Chart A.2 (choppy sideways action that retests the upward TL from the October 2022 lows that had broken down in March 2023 before heading lower again) Supplementary Chart B is a zoomed-out version of the major resistance and support level shown on the Primary Chart. This is intended to show the ranging action for months that has taken place despite periods of seemingly impressive strength and sharp weakness. Supplementary Chart B The next chart, Supplementary Chart C, illustrates what a trendline might look like if someone were considering this chart afresh, i.e., for the first time without having tracked the prior trendlines during the 2021-2022 bear market. The TL has been re-drawn to account for the recent major highs at the end of the January to February 2023 rally. Supplementary Chart C IWM's anchored VWAPs are not encouraging. Here, the only VWAPs considered are the one anchored to the all-time high in November 2021 (blue-purple line) and the 2022 low (orange line). Price made a false breakout above the VWAP from the all-time high and failed back below. That in itself is a negative especially given that this occurred on a larger time frame going back to 2021. Price has also failed below the October 2022 VWAP as well. Supplementary Chart D Finally, and most importantly, consider the ratio spread of IWM/SPY in Supplementary Chart E below . This tracks the performance of the Russell 200 relative to the S&P 500. This is why something might be rotten in the state of Denmark (markets). A healthy market should not have an index looking this bad. Let me know what you think in the comments. Supplementary Chart E The ratio spread shows that IWM's underperformance just broke below a key support level for that ratio. But bigger support lies below. However, the overall picture looks bleak for IWM with a downtrend line that has lasted for a while, and lower highs for the ratio's value on higher time frames. ________________________________________ Author's Comment: Thank you for reviewing this post and considering its charts and analysis.
