Bitcoin forming horizontal triangle? (Elliott Wave Analysis)The best advice I could ever give anyone about the market is to "Want What the Market Wants." Do not want what you want , that will produce anxiety and doubt. Align your personal beliefs with that of the market and then trading will flow like a calm river of success.
So that raises the question: What does the market want? On a weekly timeframe, the market has been trending down for some time now, and my indicators are still saying the weekly trend is DOWN. Solidified by the fact that we failed to break the weekly up fractal at 310, which would have changed the weekly trend from DOWN to UP. Bearing in mind the larger trend, we come to the 12H chart:
On this chart, I have labeled what I believe to be the most sensible Elliott Wave count that I came up with, which is a bearish horizontal triangle. Here are a couple of reasons why this count makes the most sense to me:
Wave A is most likely a three
Wave C momentum is relatively weak compared to Wave A
Wave A fractal top is still in-tact.
Fibonacci Time and Price targets are within normal guidelines for Waves A, B, & C
The predictive targets for triangles are relatively hard to develop, however, on my chart I have made an attempt at predicting the end of Wave c of D and wave E. Wave E in particular is very difficult to target, however, once it is completed we will definitely get a major swing down into the 100s or possibly double digits. I have labeled on my chart with green, yellow, and red dashed lines possible major support levels. Which one we will stop at I am uncertain of until we are closer to that point. However, there is a high probability we will stop at or near one of those lines based on Fib extension targets.
Once this chart is resolved we could end up getting another one of Bitcoin's famous Moons™ I think this is actually more likely to be the final doom that I mentioned in my first chart. My time-targets for the end of the major cycle degree Wave 4 start around April 20th, that doesn't necessarily mean that is when we are going to begin the major uptrend, but it is likely that once we've gone past that date that bitcoin will be ready for the next major cycle Wave 5, which will happen sometime before the end of the time target in August. My guess is that we start the next Moon™ in June.
Important Note: This chart is INVALID if we break 294 and particularly 310.

USDJPY: 3 Potential Advanced PatternsMultiple potential advanced patterns setting up on the USDJPY all around the same area. We've yet to break out of this consolidation, but if we do before Friday's Jobs number, we have a good location to look for our next short.
Before I get a million nasty messages no, I don't think dollar weakness and Yen strength long term, but that's what makes me a "Trader" and not an "investor" I don't have a long term bias when trading on shorter term charts. I take the setups as they come bullish or bearish despite my personal fundamental outlook.
EUR/USD: POTENTIAL BULLISH BAT SETUP 4H ***UPDATE***: Sorry there has been a mistake in the chart, the "SUPPLY ZONE" is suppose to be "DEMAND ZONE" instead.
Please refer to the description in the analysis for information on this setup. Feel free to comment below for any questions or suggestions regarding my analysis.

EUR/JPY: DOWNWARD CHANNEL / LONG SETUP 4HThank you for taking time to view my analysis. As shown above, I've made my setup fairly simple and easy to understand, it's quite self explanatory. Price has respected the downward channel and harmonic wave length, and is now working it's way to the channel bottom, confluence with the 127% extension of the BC leg and a fresh demand zone. Although this is a counter trend trade which can be risky, with all the confluences stated above, I believe there's a high probability to see a correction before further downside movement.
PS. There are other fib confluences, but I've decided to not draw them as it would clutter the chart. I've just included the main fib for this trade (stated in the speech text).
Please feel free to comment below for any questions or suggestions regarding my analysis.

NZDUSD: TCT at Ratio & StructureI've got to run soon so I'm not sure if I'll be able to catch this or not. But for those looking for the next place to short Kiwi this area looks as good as any. Harmonic move, fib extension, multiple fib retracements and of course structure to hide stops above. If it's still a potential trade by the time I return I'll keep you guys updated on what 'd be looking for in order to actually enter this thing either on here or on a Syndicate video later.
USOIL: WAITING FOR THE SELLI don't typically watch oil too much but with all that's been in the news over the past few weeks how could I resist. Also being involved in the USDCAD trade that I shared with you guys last week caused me to keep one eye open as well.
Anyway, despite the fundamentals (some of which are screaming short) the technicals are what matter to me most and in a heavy downtrend I'm not looking to hop on the bullish move late, rather I'd be looking for the next place to reload short orders and see if I can catch the next wave down. Syndicate members I'm going to record a brief video for you outlining this trade so check your emails in a little while. But I think I did a rather good job of trying to be as detailed as possible with all that I see.
I actually think we could go lower at our current point so this one may be worth taking two shots on.
Going for Bullseye | Long Silver | Target AB=CDUpdate: Stopped at Entry. See comments
-------
Fellow Risk Takers and Speculators,
NFP #s came out stronger than expected and cause a downward move in Silver and Gold. Price action caught support at the 61.8% fib retracement level of the previous swing from $15.49 to $18.45. What is key here is that this downward price move was mainly driven through the futures market (COMEX Gold and Silver). My speculation is that the physical market will find strong bids here and will unwind some of the futures driven price drop.
From a technical basis:
1. Trendlines | We have clear indication that the upsloping channel has caught much for the price action moves, the green circles drawn on the chart show the number of times the channel slope has caught the price action and price finds support or resistance at those points. In the recent move down, we see that price has caught support at the channel floor drawn in with a thick blue up-sloping trendline. I'm looking for prices to stay above this level.
2. Fibonacci Ratios | The 61.8% fib retracement level from the recent swing found support at $16.619 as shown on the chart. This again, acts as support and I'm looking for prices to stay above this level.
3. Fibonacci Extensions or AB=CD | If prices do stay above the support levels indicated by the two points above, we can use a fibonacci extension or AB=CD price movement to forecast possible take profit targets. The first target I'm looking at is based on the 61.8% extension of the major swing from $14 to $18.45. The completion of AB=CD would mark my second target at $21.
Looking for a high reward-to-risk trade here and going for bullseye!
Entry: 16.62
Stop Loss: 16.49
TP1: 19.3
TP2: 21
All the best

GBPUSD: Part 2 The 2618This morning I posted a trade idea titled "3rd Times The Charm" In this idea I mentioned that i had previously taken 2 losers on this particular currency pair the day before and was ready to reload once again for another shot at getting short. Well that trade payed off as our double bottom/ Bat pattern (LTF) rolled over without much pain this morning and then even more so after this afternoons fundamental action.
For those of you who took the trade congrats. For those who didn't the next opportunity to get short will come in the form of a 2618 setup. Here's a link to a FREE training that we did on the 2618 if you want to learn the strategy. www.youtube.com But essentially what we're looking for is the break and close below the initial double bottom (signifying a rotation in trend) followed by an outside return into the 61.8 or structure. typically targets are taken at the retest of the latest impulse leg and some sort of extension whether it be the 1.272, 1.618, ac=cb or just future structure.
Nice Risk Reward on U/J Well last night U/J broke below a support zone, and is now retracing , looking to go short at 118.85-.90 with a stop at 76.4% Fib. If 76.4% is broken I will be looking for long opportunities but for now U/J is still a sell for me personally. Profit target at the 161.8% extension zone. Market sentiment supports xxx/JPY shorts with US treasuries dipping below the 2% Yield rate so sentiment has definetely been risk off this week, many factors are to blame for the risk off sentiment, EU QE speculation, US rate hikes, Oil moving lower, Greece, etc. (Yen is a quote on quote safe haven currency) There is also, Japanese fundamentals supporting temporary Yen strength having to do with their year end/new year business cycle, I would go into detail on that but I have not researched it thoroughly enough to go on writing about it. Risk/Reward meets my guidelines at roughly 1:8 . There are US economic data coming out, of medium impact during today's sessions. So just a heads up to keep an eye on that. Happy trading =D
USD/CAD Touched H&S target and many other things!USD/CAD had touched the H&S target (1.1639) which he formed between 2010 to 2012. Also in that area we have a channel line and 0.618% fib extension AND we can see very clear 5 waves move. Time for correction or reversal? I dont know. BUT we formed last week a evening star very beatiful but we need that confirmation which is a red candle this week at close. So lets wait! Another confirmation could be RSI breaking bellow the 70 line.
RBNZ want a cheaper KIWI !!Based on the fundamental facts that the RBNZ need a cheaper Kiwi to improve their economy. That and concern over the dairy trade will bring the Kiwi lower.
In regards to the technicals, according to the ABCD Fibonacci extension there is further downside to be seen. This geometrical pattern was structured using the weekly pivot high as A (0.8840), weekly pivot low as B (0.7354) and weekly pivot high July 2014 yearly high as C (0.8840).
The RED arrow points to where price broke through the triangle pattern and created a new Supply Zone. This RED SUPPLY zone should keep price down and is a great zone to short the Kiwi in regards to risk reward!
I have 3 D extension targets in which Target 1 and 2 or more likely to get hit. I am expecting Targets 1 and 2 to be hit within the 1st half of 2015.
Brent Crude Oil is heading towards a sweet area for a shortHello guys,
After the recent break of crude oil out of a really lengthy consolidation phase (Triangle), as anticipated we're seeing lower lows ever since.
This trending environment makes every Elliott Wave trader happier than any other time.
In the previous 14 days we've been sitting in the retracement of the recent down-move.
We're heading towards a sweet confluence area which I've marked with a tiny yellow rectangle.
As noted in the chart it has incredible confluences of all kind. From 1.272 expansion to 38.2% retracement.
This kind of setup is ranked among highest probability trade setups.
Now, as every smart trader wants to get out of a wrong setup, we're put our stops on 94.2, just above 61.8% retracement, in order to get out of this trade with minimum loss.
I've never done time predictions, but let me test my luck on this one:
I think UKOIL is going to hit 89.2 at the end of September or early in November.
My projected days are: 31st of September or 2nd, 3rd of November.
I got this time from the time cycles Brent has been going through.
The retracements have been 6 days long. Now this one is expected to be 18 days long = 3 x 6 days
I hope this setup sets as expected,
Until next time, have a profitable week.
Davood Wadi.
Using Fibonacci to assist your trading decisions...EUR/USD I have always studied and monitored price action against Fibo levels and providing the markets trend and do not reverse the myth of Fibonacci works for me...
Here is a daily chart showing the recently completed ABCD pattern...A - B boundary completed and a C shallow pullback correction formed. This offered an extension target at the 1.618% (1.24978)...notice how price reacted to both pullback and extension Fibo levels...

AAPL Elliott Wave analysis updateHello again,
Here I'm taking a look at Apple stocks once again.
Nothing unpredicted,
As you can see from my previous idea I highlighted a zone using fibonacci relations for the price reversal.
Now I has bounced off of that area.
We're currently sitting in the A leg of an ABC correction move. If you're a short term trader you can look for shorting opportunities at this time. But I personally would rather sit aside and watch its completion. Then I'll get a chance to hop on the major bullish trend.
Now I've marked the 38.2 retracement of the whole up move which is a probable spot for the ABC move to terminate and start a new rally. You might seek more confirmation using price action at the time we get there.
Please comment your ideas and questions below this idea.
And don't forget, take these ideas as they are, not as trading signals.
No matter how true they seem to turn out each time.
Have profitable week.

Unbelievable confluence of Harmonic patterns, Fibonacci ratios..This trade idea is the once in a million years one.
I still can't believe my eyes when I see these crazy confluences.
First EURJPY started a 5 wave down move which I marked on the Daily timeframe with the green elliott wave lines.
Then it completed the whole down move and started to retrace the whole down move as an ABCD move to the upside.
For this it formed a head and shoulder pattern which is completed now and the CD leg has acted as the right shoulder.
Independently for an ABCD pattern I use fibonacci projections to find the possible targets:
The 1.272 target of the AB leg lays on 138.67
And for the retracement of the whole down move I used fibonacci retracements which give me the important ratio:
38.2% at 138.67
It's crazy, isn't it?
And now for the fun part as to give you more confidence on this short trade, a gartley pattern is now forming which it's D point sits on 138.51 which creates a narrow range for the supply to flow in!
Now I short the EURJPY at 138.5 (to be more conservative).
I use three LOTs and close each on my different targets:
Target 1: 137.51
Target 2: 136.84
Target 3: 135.73
Stop Loss: 138.80
As you can see crazy risk/reward is involved.
Comment me your opinion and have fun trading this generous pair.
God bless EURJPY
Stalking the next USDCAD pullback after strong thrust upwardsUSD/CAD has completely and violently reversed it's large leg down in June and has given a shallow pullback. Price continues to consolidate, but is grinding out higher highs. Look to buy a pullback to the small median line and support/resistance line in red. Stops should be placed under the swing at C. Profits should be taken into the larger upsloping median line , measured move, and old high area around 1.1200.
