Equilibrium

ACB bulls draw a line in the sandACB spent the better half of Friday defending $11.75 as a line in the sand, despite the hourly bearish MACD divergence. If that cannot hold I would not expect 11.65 to hold, resulting in an Inside Bar bear break. From there I would zoom out to the 4hr chart and look for a higher low compared to $10.18 and a tightening range from there. Investment rumours from Coca Cola give correlation favour to the bulls, and I would expect ACB to hold up better than other names should we see sector-wide consolidation this coming week.

Looking at previous CGC all time highs for clues into next weekThe similarities I've highlighted here look better on WEED than on CGC because Jan 15th saw the TSX trade but not the US exchanges. That said I'm looking at similarities in the first oversold bounces following the last two all time highs at 35.88 in January and 36.55 in June. Subsequent those bounces we saw a tightening range playing out across more than a week of trading before the equilibrium finally broke - down. In each of the previous two examples the price set a lower low compared to the low of the oversold bounce. It's very possible this happens again, but with legalization being such a huge catalyst, it's also quite likely that support holds and we enter into a larger daily equilibrium prior to continuation of the current bull move. The most important support to me heading into next week is 40.68. The best case scenario for the bulls is to hold 46.20 to show they're in absolute control over the coming days. There are several fundamental things I'm watching here. CNBC is covering the MJ sector numerous times each day, and I've noticed a shift in their coverage from "stocks rocketing higher", to "we're in a bubble." This shifted with the implosion of TLRY on Wednesday and the 50% drop in share price within an hour (now down a full 65% from the highs). CNBC has an agenda here, and that's currently a risk to bullish positions in the sector. Second is the amount of short interest in these stocks right now. each of WEED, ACB, and APH are among the most shorted stocks on the TSX, and each have had an incredible increase in short positions opened over the course of September (regrettably I do not know if this information exists for CGC - if someone has this info please hit me up in the comment section below!) Finally, there is the potential of other major catalysts such as global companies entering into the sector in the form of investments, partnerships, and other agreements or LOIs. These events have the potential of squeezing short positions to cover, now so they can enter again later. @DonnaSko, on a previous idea you asked about my thoughts on a long position in CGC. I don't like a long position right now; If this tightening pattern does break upwards and we see new highs, I fully expect a selloff on or within a few days (before/after) of October 17th, 2018 legalization date, followed by a long drawn out period of consolidation. If for whatever reason we do not see new highs, and break down setting new lows from here, I will have to reassess the situation from that stand point. From here I only really like two entries for longs. The first would be to bottomfish against 40.68 support with a stop-loss below that price to protect your capital should should the sector break down from here for whatever reason. The second would be to enter on the break of 52.60, which would be a bull-break of the current 4hr equilibrium we're currently suspended in. With an entry there I'd place my stop-loss below the most recent low, which is currently 46.20. Either way, I would absolutely take profit on or just before October 17th as I fully expect that catalyst to be a sell the news event, should we continue the bull run up until that date. Then I'd wait patiently to buy back in much cheaper for a long term investment position.

CRON - letting the dust settleCRON was all bulls today out of the gate setting a new all time high before pulling back hard. I'm watching the CRON range expecting a daily equilibrium from low of the oversold bounce to high of today. It's notable CRON is the only name that hasn't lost it's 4hr uptrend. I'll be remaining very patient as the next couple of days set a tightening range with new levels to play off of. The break of that tightening pattern will set momentum for the days to follow. The 4hr chart currently looks bear-flaggy with extended hours on, although the big lower wicks are a point aginst that possibility. Breaking the low of today would confirm the bear flag. Today's bear volume was very notable. We know there is ETF balancing ongoing this week that must settle up Friday, so I am leaning towards seeing more selling pressure into tomorrow and Friday. I find the most clarity on the 4hr and daily charts.

APH - letting the dust settleWatching the APH.TO range from low of the oversold bounce to high of today. Today we saw our lower high set and bulls are now looking for a new support level above 15.76. Today's low bounced right off the .5 retracement of the fib pull with swing low as the oversold bounce low, to the high of today. It will be interesting to see if that new support holds. I'll be remaining very patient as the next couple of days set a tightening range with new levels to play off of. The break of that tightening pattern will set momentum for the days to follow.

Today's low bounced right off the .5 retracement of the fib pull with swing low as the oversold bounce low, to the high of today. It will be interesting to see if that new support holds.

CGC - letting the dust settleWatching the CGC range from low of Friday to high of today. Today's low bounced right off the golden pocket of the fib pull with swing low as the oversold bounce low, to the high of today. It will be interesting to see if that holds. I'll be remaining very patient as the next couple of days set a tightening range with new levels to play off of. The break of that tightening pattern will set momentum for the days to follow.

I find the most clarity on the daily and 4hr charts. The 4hr chart with extended hours could be considered a bear flag here, but those long lower wicks of bulls buying the dip are a point in opposition to that possibility.

CRON bounce was by far the weakest of the major sector namesCRON low of Friday was just below the .5 retracement from low of consolidation to all time high 13.39. It had the weakest bounce Friday out of the big four, rejecting hard from the .382 dump retracement whereas other names hit the .5 or in the case of APH hit the .618. Watching the hourly chart for a break of it's tightening range to indicate short term momentum for this week, and helping to define levels for the daily tightening pattern on a macro level

BTC 4hr/daily Bounce Occurring. Looking for Weekly Lower HighI mentioned in my last BTC post that I was looking for BTC to set a higher low on the weekly compared to 5858 and then for bulls to take over to set a lower high. BTC is bouncing from 6119 and has changed the 4hr uptrend for the first time since the dump on September 5th. For me to be confident that the weekly higher low has been established and for bulls to have a chance of breaking the weekly equilibrium pattern I need to see higher lows and higher highs on the daily timeframe. So far we are seeing weak bull volume on this bounce and are testing the 4hr 55EMA, daily 10MA, and daily 12EMA. I am in short positions in some altcoins and will increase position size as BTC approaches the 26/55EMA on the daily. The area we are currently trying to move through has a lot of support/resistance price history from 2018, indicated by the red box. If bulls want to have any chance of saving the weekly equilibrium pattern, we need to see impulsive moves up through this area with more volume. I anticipate that bulls will set a weekly lower high below 7000 since the 6850 area has a lot of resistance (if we can even make it that far). After the weekly lower high is set I will look for a break of the weekly equilibrium pattern to indicate direction for the rest of the year. The weak bounce has brought the 1hr and 4hr RSI back above oversold levels, which can allow bears to more easily drive the price back down again if they show up. I have no interest in playing bullish because of the amount of resistance we have in the red box, even if we see a change in trend on the daily timeframe. Until bulls can break above 7429 all my positions will be shorts.

ONT: Multiple 4HR Bars Before Inside Bar Breaks BearishONT saw almost 12 hours pass before the inside bar finally broke bearish. Higher lower patter broke, and we are in full bear mode right now. Bulls continue to lose the moving averages as support. If you look back before the last bear break, the bulls were coming in HOT with volume to keep the moving averages as support. Eventually their steem ran out and now the bears are fighting to do the same. We are seeing continous decreasing volume with each 4HR bar until very minimal and then the bear bomb drops with a large volume spike and a drop in price. Ideally the bears would like to push the price down below the bear wedge (red) that we are seeing right now and push to new lows. Not a lot of action at the price level on Binance in the past, we don't have much to go off of which is never help. Right now, I am playing it patient. I do have some money in at this level because there has been a lot of support in the 1.80-1.95 range. The bulls will fight to push the volume higher in the 1.90 range before making a run at 2.00 which will be a HUGE TEST. Moving averages are pushing down lower and lower which I think the bulls REALLY LIKE at this point. Having both so close together makes for a HUGE resistance level to break. Keep a close eye on the wedge I have posted in red. As you can see.... we are getting VERY CLOSE. J_DOT_CRYPTO Callin' it like I see it!

ONT Bulls Break Higher High, Higher LowONT bulls come out swinging today and we are zoomed out to the 1HR! As you can see, they are currently holding the 12 Moving Average as support and trying to break the 26 Moving Average before a run at the 100MA! MACD is bullish and separating shaping into a quite bullish set up! We have have a higher low formed, and the bulls will now look to break to a high higher while regaining the 26MA as support! The zone between the 12 and 26 moving averages is tight, and the 12 is setting up to break up through if the bulls can keep momentum in their favor! As always, set stop losses within 5-10% (depending on your preference) of the 12MA as it is working as our current support. If broke, there are a few support levels in the 1.90's that I think will hold us up for now. J-DOT-CRYPTO

ONT Equilibrium Pattern Breaks BullishONT zone got VERY tight overnight allowing us to zoom all the way into the 15 min chart to follow. As you can see it became tighter and tighter until it came time to test the 12MA and 26MA. Previous attempts have broke bullish on this time frame, but the bears finally tired out and the bulls take over the 15 minute time frame. Breaking the the 12MA and the 26MA and shifting their momentum and moving them in the right direction! We now zoom out to the 1HR chart, and see what the bulls can do here. After the bear momentum yesterday the moving averages are primed and ready to come up and break through the 100MA to regain bull dominance. For now, we wait and see if the bulls can keep it up!

FB tightening daily equilibriumFB in a tightening equilibrium, trying to find support here before moving up and finding a lower high relative to 188.30. Losing 170.91 would increase the odds of a weekly bear flag, I'd be looking down at 166.56 then low of the after earnings post-market dump, 164.30. Lots of support in that area, with a yellow trend line in tact since June 2013 just below. Breaking bullish out of this pattern and I'll be sitting comfortable in a swing looking up to all time highs again with little resistance in the way.

BTC Equilibrium Until July If you are long this is the only chart you need. BTC has been in the same Equilibrium Pattern for the last few months. We have had a series of Higher Lows and Lower Highs. The pattern is really beginning to tighten as we get closer and closer to a bullish breakout. Volume from the bears is waning as the pattern tightens. I fully expect a breakout in early to mid July. Buying opportunities can be found at the bottom of the trend line, for both BTC and any Alts you may be looking to accumulate. Happy Trading!
