What is "Price Action"? What about indicators?There is no one clear definition of price action. It can be as simple as "Every tick on any given chart, of any given market." However this definition is too broad and does not adequately describe the term. A better definition is "The collective result of buyers and sellers entering the market for any logical reason, which together create reoccurring patterns that can be analyzed and capitalized."
Price action is based on humans behaving rationally, logically, and similarly in similar situations over time, and is the cumulative effect of institutional trading. It has been, and always will remain fundamentally unchanged. If you compare a chart from 100 years ago (such as the crash of 1929) with one of today with the time scales removed, you will not be able to tell the difference between the two. It does not matter if you compare a yearly, monthly, daily, or even 1 minute chart with any other chart of a different time frame. Price action appears the same and works the same in every market, and on every time frame. The institutions cannot hide what they are doing; price action is their foot print.
Price action can be used to invest long term, or day trade any market. It allows a trader or investor to identify opportunities without the use of any indicators. In fact, all indicators are a derivative of price action in one form or another. Interestingly, the patterns which repeat as well as trend tendencies can be observed on different charts, even outside of markets.
Can you tell a difference between these two charts? The first is a daily chart of CSX. The second is a 5 minute chart of the MES (micro s&p). All markets and charts look the same, and behave similarly. Once you understand the information within, you can understand what the institutions are doing at any given time.

IFRX ready for reversal. Entry point. 8% risk to 25% reward.This is my first share post. Using this as a swing trade analysis.
1. Stock broke the 50 day MA on May 7th, closing at $42.68
2. Stock Reached 20 RSI on May 20th, closing at $38.41 making a 1st Low of $38.18 with 20 RSI.
3. Stock made a 2nd new low on May 22nd of $37.87, closing at $38.05 with RSI reversing upwards to 30 RSI.
4. Market shows sign of reversal on May 23rd, closing at $39.10, 2.76% higher than May 22nd.
5. If stock breaks May 22nd high of $40.68 within the next 5 days, upward reversal should be valid.
6. At this point entry should be about .5% higher than May 22nd high of $40.68, so at $40.88 if reached by May 30th.
7. This reversal will be invalidated if stock makes a new low by May 30th.
8. If this reversal is Valid, stop loss should be anywhere between $35.87-$37.61.
9. With validated reversal and a resistance level of $51.15, this should have a 1 to 3 profit vs risk level, so about 8% risk vs 25% profit.
10. Resistance level should hit within the next 3-4 weeks.
GBP/EUR - Overall DowntrendGBP/EUR is in an overall downtrend. Double top setup is in place. Price has retested neckline. Now price will probably consolidate considering that it is now hitting a key level. Ideal move: Price breaks key level and falls to the downside. I think the probability of price going to the upside is about 25% and price to the downside is about 75%.

GOLD SELL from 1295descending wedge and lines of support and resistance suggest entries for sells and buys following negative trendline. Descending wedge suggests a longer term bullish trend so a break from 1255-1240 for the upside and highs forecasted by Goldman Sachs of 1450 line up with this hypothesis
