Entrypoint
Lithium EV Battery Growth - Chilean to US$ plusSQM NYSE:SQM is a chilean Lithium mining stock for
EV Batteries and takes advantage of US$ to Chilean value as well. EV Truck manuf.
just starting and will require more and more lithium.
Another big news story that hit the market in the second quarter was worries that Tesla

another sign of supply and demand will drive up prices and profits.
Here is 4hr. chart showing solid entry, which already in below $44 and buying up to $50.
WTI (CRUDEOIL) – Believe it or not: still preparing for 80+!Hello everyone,
When looking at the chart, we see a zone of strong support, because WTI was coming back three times to this level (between 63.60$ and 68.60$). So, we have two possibilities…
Scenario 1 (black line) - chance: 75%
WTI has built two strong 1-2 elliott-wave-setups (blue in brackets and brown-beige): the blue box in the chart above is the buying zone for the rise to 80$ in the first step (end of wave 3, blue in brackets) and later on even 90$. I think we have a good chance, that WTI will rise up now (again).
BUT: be careful, because wave ii (brown-beige) has space on the downside to around 64.41$ technically. It is possible that wave ii is straining our nerves! So, keep an eye on this.
Scenario 2 (red line) - chance: 35%
WTI is falling under 64.40$ and later 63.57$. If so, we will see a sell-off to around 62$/57$, and then we have to adapt the wave count that way shown in the chart below.
The alternative wave count:
The high at 72.88$ was a 3, but one wave degree higher (purple in brackets alt.(3)). If so, we are in an A-B-C (cyan) corrective pattern to complete wave C (cyan) of 4 (purple in brackets). Please keep this in mind when placing an order.
Take care,
tgo
Cobalt mining stock set for entry off weak volumeTSX: LUN LUN
NYSE:LUNMF LUNMF
Lundin Mining is a mid-cap mining company that will benefit from rising cobalt prices and demand.
Waiting for bounce off likely 4.55 for entry, or 4.35-4.40 range, and not likely lower $4.06-4.10
Fib retracement. RSI going above 50 with 1w chart shows good entry with lots of scribble correlation.
Sorry for the business, I mean busyness here.
Cobalt value is strong and demand for electric batteries also very strong. Recovery as major player
in this area is prominent.
For own use. Put to use idea, comment or like, but review on Friday Sept. 14th.

Dollar index DXY in a pressure areaDXY just entered a pressure area:
- 91.80 was a support in first week of January then it was broken: now it can be a resistance level!
- 92.25 to 92.57 was a strong resistance in January so it could be a strong resistance level too.
Slowstochastic is Overbougth, which is a good confirmation for short.
Entry SHORT level: 91.50-91.25 with a confirmation at lower timeframes
OR
Entry SHORT level: 92.64-92.32 (using a sort of QUASIMODO, look at bull candles of Jan 8th and 9th) with a confirmation at lower timeframes

Short squeeze scenario - XBTUSD - BITMEXPossible short squeeze targets for XBTUSD. This is what I think targets would be IF we played the ping-pong game and went to the next target on the list in the 6700s it would fulfill the "short squeeze" This is just chart art, never take these as financial advice. Have fun, Good luck.
EURUSD Weakness - Short Position Long TermEURUSD Weekly Chart - Medium to Long Term Bearish Outlook
EURUSD is at a 13 month low. It is currently resting at the 50% fibonacci level. Analysis points out that a trend reversal at this stage is not likelyTh and continued declines at or below the 61.8% fibonacci level are expected. However, a short term blip at the current 50% level may occur before continuing the downward trend.
The downward trend is expected to continue as the RSI has broken the key support line since previous 13 month low. The RSI looks to continue to fall to the 30 line. The Momentum indicator also highlights the support line which is a crucial test for the pair. If the currency pair breaks through the support line, it is likely that a test of the 100% fib line will occur.
Also interesting but not incredibly helpful, is that the pair has outlined a head and shoulders pattern, indicating that decline is likely foreseeable but doesn't provide much guidance to where it will land.
At this stage, conservative analysis points to a decline at the 61.8% fib level. This represents around a 240 pip/point profit trade with the take profit just before the 61.8% line. If the pair breaks the 61.8% line, expect a complete re-tracement.
This position is a medium to long term position with a time range between 3 to 9 months.
QTUM/DOLLAR 2H DARVA BOX STRATEGYStep #1: Identify at least two Darvas boxes that are on top of each other
The first trading rule is to let the market develop at least two Darvas Boxes. Basically, the two Darvas boxes are showing that the market is starting to move in steps to the downside. So at this point, the market also should be making lower highs followed by lower lows, which is the basic definition of an downtrend.
In the real world, you’ll notice that the Darvas boxes don’t perfectly stack on top of each other. You’ll rarely find a series of Darvas boxes where the following box has the bottom perfectly aligned with the top/bottom of the previous box.
You will notice that the price range of the second Darvas box can move into the space of the first Darvas box which still qualify for a valid Darvas box.
Note* Big candle wicks are ignored when drawing the Darvas box. Use the closing price instead.
Step #2: Draw a support line in the middle of the first Darvas box
We’ve noted that there is no such thing as perfection when dealing with the price action. And since the Darvas boxes tend to overlap, another characteristic is that in most of the cases the top/bottom of the current box won’t exceed the middle of the previous Darvas box.
In this case, we can anticipate that the third Darvas box will develop its top around the middle or bottom of the second Darvas box.
Step #3: How to sell QTUM: Sell when we test the middle or bottom of the 2nd Darvas Box
We want to buy low and sell high because that’s the rule number one to make consistent profits.
We sell QTUM as soon as the middle or bottom of the 2nd Darvas box is tested this will ensure that we sell on a retracement in an already proven downtrend.
Step #4: Place your protective Stop Loss above resistance level in the second Darvas Box
Our improved cryptocurrency sell strategy comes with the advantage of providing us with a very tight stop loss. We can hide our protective stop loss within or above the second Darvas box.
A break above the second Darvas box will invalidate the whole price structure and it’s wise to get out of the trade as soon as possible.
Two things can measure the success of a trading strategy.
First, how tight the stop loss is and secondly the stop loss placement needs to be logical not just a random price coming out from over-optimization.
Step #5: Take profit needs to be 2 or 3 times more than your stop loss
Opening a trade is just the beginning; you also need an exit strategy to maximize your profits. It’s often said that it’s more important where you take profits than your entry strategy
The professional traders place more weight and attention on the exit strategy because that’s how they make money. Probably, this is one of the oldest trading secrets that smart money doesn’t want you to know.
Note** the above was an example of a SELL trade using the Free QTUM cryptocurrency strategy. Use the same rules for a BUY trade – but in reverse.
