Bitcoin moar ups? Elliott Wave levels.If you find this information inspiring/helpful, please consider a boost and follow! Any questions or comments, please leave a comment! Also, check out the links in my signature to get to know me better! Looking at the move up from 16679.52 in a bubble seeing things as a possible impulse up atm, BUT holding here and moving away is the ideal scenario. A Break below and retest would be sus and of course the invalidation level is getting close. A break of that level, would be cause for a recount, and it would all be based on what pattern the PA prints. A possible wave 4 could be in the future and would expect some kind of sideways. Cheers!

Market Structure: The analysis we use to skip (and we shouldn't)Hi traders, today we want to explain why market structure analysis is as important as a good entry signal strategy. Note: For this article, we differentiate the entry signal from the market structure analysis. In some cases, the entry signal considers also the market structure but in these cases, we could easily split the set of rules into rules to define the market structure, and the rules to enter the market (entry signal). So we will consider it as two steps or phases. One of the most common mistakes (which I did a lot in my trading early years) is that traders tend to focus on finding the best entry signal, the SL level, and the target, which is great but is only half of the work. Only with this part and with proper risk management, you can be profitable. However, this is only the mechanical part of the trading strategy which, in most cases and especially if the entry signal is based on indicators, could perfectly be automated as these are only a set of rules (based on indicators or other technical analysis tools) that trigger the entry signal. What it is as important as the SET (Stop, Entry & Target) is the analysis of the market structure of each asset. By that we mean that we should know: - What is the current cycle of the asset? Where did the cycle start? - Is it bullish or bearish? - Is it impulsive or corrective? - When and at what level this cycle is expected to end? - Which structure this cycle has? - and so on… This is the part that was tougher for me to learn, and it is the part that requires more time and experience. Detect the subtle difference that very similar market structures can have and differentiating them will take you time. Do not misunderstand me, it is not rocket science, but it can be tricky. The market does not use to move on perfect defined structures we can easily identify, most of the time it can be difficult to detect these structures. We use the Elliot Wave principle mainly (but not only) to help us “find” the right market structure of each asset. How we see the Elliott Wave principle (EWP) in one sentence would be: It is a set of rules that help us to divide the market in impulse and corrections to know where and when each of these cycles has started and also to forecast when AND WHERE it is expected the cycle will end. It can sound not too much but believe me it is a lot. Even though the Elliot Wave principle (EWP) rules are perfectly defined, to apply them on the chart would be not 100% objective and, therefore, the same rules can be applied differently by each trader on the chart. This is why it takes more time to identify the right way to interpret and apply the EWP rules to the chart and this is the reason why it is the part that used to take more time for the trader to be proficient in. We see and use the EWP as a guideline or a map structure of the asset we are analyzing, (VERY IMPORTANT) we do not use EWP alone to enter the trade. We use it to know the structure of the asset and to infer the most probable direction that the price will take in the future. With EWP as the base of our trading strategy, we will use other analysis tools like the correlation between the different asset groups or the market dynamics to refine the assets that give us the maximum options of having a winning trade (after applying the entry signal strategy). Another very important point we want to make clear from the beginning is that we should be flexible in our predictions. We do have a clear view of the structure that we think the market is having at this moment for each asset. However, we need to be prepared to be wrong, by that we mean that we need to know and be aware of what are (if any) the other potential structure the cycle we are analyzing can have. This is why we will not enter a trade based on the wave count only and we need the other tools we mentioned before. Therefore, and to wrap it up for this lesson, EWP gives us a lot of crucial information that is the base of all our trading strategies. To summarize it and make clear how we use the EWP, we use EWP to: - Know the Right side of the market for each asset (Long or Short) - Detect whether the asset is in an impulsive or on a corrective cycle and its internal structure - Project the zone where the asset is expected to end the correction (to apply there the entry signal strategy) - Project the level where the impulse wave is expected to end (which would be different depending on the wave we are in) (Target) All these will help us to find zones where we can apply our S.E.T. (Stop-Entry-Target) rules to maximize the overall return of our strategy as it will increase a lot our Winning percentage. Have an amazing and successful trading day TRS team

Bearish Bitcoin triangle pattern! Ok so this is a bit out there but its entirely possible for Bitcoin. Especially with the current financial climate. Do not take it too seriously as triangle patterns get invalidated all the time but its one to definitely have on the radar. This is how I would see us get to a 10k BTC. We can only look at bullish or bearish patterns and follow them till they get invalidated. BTC is probably one of the most unreliable charts to trade on along with Cardano at the Moment.

Nifty wave 4 completed now heading towards 17928-As discussed yesterday Nifty confirmed wave 3 & today itself it gave retracement of wave 4 -From now on nifty at the time of closing Nifty gave very small bounce from 17779 which is where 38% level is -We can assume that wave 4 is completed here & from tomorrow we are heading towards wave 5 -Target of wave 5 is 17919 also because our wave 3 was extended & wave 5 may get extended or not but it should atleast target high of wave 3 *If market breaks 17665 then this whole theory gets invalidated*

USDCAD Long: Excellent Buying Opportunity To Take Now!USDCAD is giving us an awesome entry to go long. The trigger for this trade is an ending diagonal pattern (the wedge shape between the dotted lines). Why do we like this setup do much? A diagonal pattern is a sign of exhaustion. The choppy, shallow-sloped, overlapping price action is an excellent sign that price is weakening, and is due for a change in trend. Clear momentum divergences on the MACD and RSI support this idea as well. On top of this, the pattern comes at the very end of another pattern we love to see: an expanded flat (as outlined by the (A)(B)(C) labels). This gives even more confluence to our idea, as a flat pattern is one of the core corrective patterns we trade here at Parallax. Exactly how you enter is up to you. You can enter now, or wait for the highs around 1.2950 to be breached first. Regardless, the invalidation level for this trade is 1.2766; price must not move past that level for this wave count to remain valid. This trade setup was created using the rules and guidelines of the Elliott Wave principle. We love the Wave Principle: it's our #1 choice when it comes to forecasting and technical analysis. We strongly believe that no other trading system gives you the same level of confidence when trading. The wave principle provides a rules-based approach for trade entry and exit, as well as active position management. At Parallax, we focus on wave analysis and 1-on-1 education to build a foundation of skills that give our clients the edge. We trade Crypto, Forex (FX), and equities. We keep our analysis simple, clear, and easy to execute. Comment below if you would like to see more trade ideas, Elliott wave analysis, and market updates.
