Potential Bear Flag Breakdown in the Russell 2000The Russell 2000 small cap index fell sharply last month, and now traders may see risk of further downside.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the series of higher highs and higher lows since December 18. Given its preceding drop, that could be viewed as a bearish flag that’s resolving to the downside.
Second, short-term indicators may be viewed bearishly. MACD has been falling and the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) is below the 21-day EMA.
Third is the November 19 low of 2284. RUT probed it early this week but quickly reversed. Has old support become new resistance?
Finally, you have the big picture. This benchmark is the only major index in the last year that failed to sustain new highs versus 2021. That relative weakness may be consistent with a lack of investor enthusiasm.

$NYSE:NRGV poised for a breakout with multiple Price TargetsThe global push towards a cleaner energy future is accelerating, but a significant piece to the puzzle remains: the intermittency of renewable energy sources like solar and wind. This challenge has fueled a market for energy storage solutions.
Energy Vault ( NYSE:NRGV ) develops sustainable energy storage solutions designed to utility-scale energy storage for grid resiliency. The company's proprietary, gravity-based Energy Storage Technology and the Energy Storage Management and Integration Platform are intended to help utilities, independent power producers and large industrial energy users.
The company recently announced a significant 1.0 GWh energy storage project in Australia, which was highlighted by the CEO in a recent interview with MarketBeat's Bridget Bennett. Energy Vault's most recent project serves as a testament to its unwavering commitment to global expansion, underscored by the recent recognition it received from TIME magazine as one of the Best Inventions of 2024 for its groundbreaking gravity energy storage technology.
Analysis
Looks like this is setting up to break the $2.56 resistance line.
Observations:
This appears to be ready to break out of multiple patterns, which will present multiple near term price targets
$1 upside (~$4)... very close to the head and shoulders pattern PT of $3.80.
Falling wedge pattern PT of $7.17
- Squeeze momentum is building and firing.
- Current volume doesn't come close the the recent spike, but it is above the MA volume.
Entry Point ~$2.60 (or above) - after a closing above the $2.56 resistance
Falling wedge on Bitcoin - A bullish signal - End of correction?I can see a falling wedge or flag pattern on the BTC-USD chart. The price hit the support zone around 92K and triggered a bullish price action that might be the end of the correction. I expect a short-term reversal from a bearish to a bullish trend in a neutral medium-term trend as long as the price stays within the wedge or flag. If the price breaks the pattern up, the medium-term trend could change into bullish again. If the trends turn bullish, the price might attempt to break the resistance zone around $105k by March 2025.

GBPAUD new bearish expectations
GBPAUD whats next? We are have DOUBLE TOP pattern, price is make strong bearish push, currently what can see on lower TF better visible is BEARISH FLAG pattern.
Technicals are strong bearish here, personal bearish view having.
SUP zone: 2.00800
RES zone: 1.97900, 1.97100, 1.96450
Alt Coins - one more correction likelyThis is the chart of TOTAL3 market cap - all coins excluding BTC and ETH (essentially market cap of all alt coins).
As we can see, price action is within a larger bull flag (yellow parallel channel) but within it, there is a bear flag (red parallel channel).
Market cap is currently at 950 bn. We are likely to see one more correction where market cap is likely to touch 800 bn market cap. This is because if market cap breaks down from the bear flag, on the basis of measured move, market cap is likely to touch 800 bn. This is also a fib retracement level of 50% and a strong support zone on Weekly timeframe.
Once market cap hits 800 bn zone, there is likely to be a bounce which could pierce the yellow parallel channel as it will be the 3rd hit on the upper trendline of the yellow parallel channel.
Remember technicals are all probabilities, market cap could negate bear flag to hit upper trendline of the yellow parallel channel.
HBAR 4hr Textbook PennantThis flag is my first publish. I can't help but see the textbook flag/pennant on this 4 hr. I have a bias to the up side, but I am neutral until it has a full candle close above or below the trendlines. I am definitely taking a position with one candle close above or below the trendlines.
The upward trend will continue, target: 2670-2680Gold affected by bearish PMI data, initially pulled back to the 2642 level before rebounding sharply to a high of 2656. It has since slightly retreated but remains in a consolidation phase overall.
While gold's short-term bullish momentum has weakened somewhat, it is unlikely to establish a new downtrend in the near term. Recent pullbacks have consistently preserved the bullish structure, and during the rebound attempts yesterday and today, two long lower wicks have formed on the candlestick charts, signaling strong buying support below. Therefore, gold remains poised to break above the recent high of 2665 after this consolidation phase and extend its rally toward the 2670-2680 zone, or potentially even 2690.
Following today’s trading strategy, I entered a long position on gold at 2640 and manually closed it around 2659 to secure profits. Although I missed the opportunity to go long near 2642 after the PMI-driven pullback, I observed the formation of a W-bottom pattern on the 5-minute candlestick chart. This prompted me to re-enter a long position around 2646, and, given gold's current consolidation phase, I promptly closed the position at 2652 to lock in profits.
For upcoming trades, the candlestick chart shows an upward bias, and we will continue to prioritize long positions in short-term trading. However, the key support zone to watch has now shifted higher to the 2645-2635 range.
Bros, have you followed me and made a profit by going long gold? There will still be opportunities to participate in the long gold trade later.

EUR/AUD looks ready to tap outFrom a purely technical perspective, EUR/AUD could look appealing to bears. Resistance was found at 1.68 before bearish range expansion and a potential bear flag followed. But I also feel like we have seen this movie before (even if it was upside down).
In late November we saw a false break of the June and October lows before a bull-flag breakout occurred. we then saw another leg higher, bullish breakout and retest of the 200-SMA before its final leg higher.
If the reverse is to play out, we could now be in for a bull-flag breakdown towards the 200-day SMA, bearish consolidation, then breakdown and retest of the 200-day SMA before its final leg lower.
From a fundamental perspective, I believe markets have priced RBA cuts in too aggressively and the USD could be in for a pullback. And if Trump's policies really are less inflationary as feared, it could trigger a risk-on rally which could benefit an arguably oversold AUD over the euro.
And that is why I am now hunting EUR/AUD shorts.

$NVDA #BullFlag Thru #Resistance Now #ReTesting (150Cs #Soon?!)I noted a bull flag on NASDAQ:TSLA and noticed NASDAQ:NVDA following the same style.
This looks like a strong flagpole through what was previously ATH resistance down trend.
Downtrend has now acted as support twice. Im hoping the 3rd time will be the charm ;)
Looking for NASDAQ:NVDA 150Cs and NASDAQ:TSLA 550Cs on next YUGE green day ie (SPY 2%+)

XRP SeekingPips reminds himself STICK TO THE PLAN, XRP LONG ONLY
I would consider the following as a GOLD STAR LESSON TO BE SAVED.
Yesterday created a great reminder opportunity that you must have a PLAN & RULES.
Even SeekingPips is human and therefore sometimes will deviate from the plan.
The GOLD SECRET is to realise the error and get back on track as soon as possible.
I was very clear on the chart share on 01/01/2025 that I only wanted to accumulate XRP
Here is the copy of that paragraph :
"ℹ️ However whilst price remains above 2.10 USD I do not want to take the short side of XRP."
By the next chart share the next day 02/01/25 it was clear to me where price was and that I was seeing a clear BULL FLAG on the DAILY CHART.
✅️ With that information I had a plan❕️✅️
ℹ️So what's the lesson you ask?❔️
⭐️Well Seeking Pips didn't stick to the plan.
Price was still well above 2.10 but shared a short chart idea.
This is why a TRADE JOURNAL is a GREAT idea.
In real time you may not see or notice any TRADING ERRORS but by having a journal it's in black and white and you can spot any problems early.✅️
⚠️So what were the KEY POINTS from yesterday?
🟢 Based on the D1 timeframe chart there was no valid reason according to my PLAN to conditioner any short positions.
🟢 Even based on the intra day timeframes that I use my RED LINE on my chart share at 2.3268 was never traded below.
🟢 Too zoomed in to price on lower timeframes. Seeking Pips considered the intra day timeframes and price action over what the Daily and Weekly charts were indicating.
🟢 Quantity over quality, wanting to be active and share some content, even given the fact that the DAY, WEEK and EVEN YEAR had just started.
🟢 NOT GIVING the IDEA time to play out. Barely two hours earlier I had already decided that my bias was to the long side.
There was no trigger to invalid that bias.
⭐️THE LESSON⭐️
Trading is not all about Lambos and penthouses. Yes that can be a final goal if you want it to be BUT to get to that point you really do have to iron out all of the ugly stuff first...
If this post helps even one peron on their trading journey it has done it's job.👌

new Flag pattern?As observed, there were three flag breakouts in November 2024. However, the failure of the fourth flag breakout in December 2024 led to a correction.
The $0.85 level appears to be well-supported, creating a flagpole, and it seems to be forming a flag pattern now, awaiting a breakout.
Once the breakout occurs, it is expected to rise above $1.25
Ethereum - bearish divergence alert - Dec 19th, 2024** Trigger warning - the following post may cause skin irritation and involuntary expletives **
The entire market is bullish on Ethereum.
All of social media is bullish on Ethereum.
The Motley Fool is even bullish on Ethereum (Huge red flag!!)
“Ethereum looks undervalued relative to its potential”
source:
www.fool.com
=====================================================
The TA:
Your only source of news should be the chart. The chart has a headline for you to read:
“Strongest bearish divergence print since the 90% and 80% crashes of 2018 and 2021”
Yes, the same specific settings used to track market pivots with divergence on Ethereum price action has printed once more.
On the above 8 day chart price action prints negative divergence with multiple oscillators over an 80 day period. The bear flag forecasts price action to correct until $700.
If you’re bullish on price action you have to reason why… why is this time different?
(Trump said... yes, would never mislead that one)
If you’re neutral on price action and considering a long entry, look left, is now that moment?
If you’re bearish on price action, well then you’re in poor company and public enemy number one. Welcome to my world!
Is it possible price action continues to rise? Sure! We’re in a bull market, din’t you get the memo?
Is it probable? No.

ICP/USDT Bull Flag Breakout is Loading....The chart highlights a classic Bull Flag pattern, which signifies a potential continuation of the upward trend. At present, the price is consolidating within the confines of the flag, indicating a phase of market indecision as it builds momentum for a breakout.
Key Observations
1. The Bull Flag structure remains well-defined, with the price oscillating inside a descending channel.
2. Support is evident along the lower boundary around the $11.5 mark, offering a logical entry point for buyers.
3. A decisive breakout above the upper boundary of the flag would confirm the bullish outlook and could trigger a strong upward surge.
4. The projected target for this move lies above $14, aligning with significant resistance levels observed previously.
Strategic Implications
Patience and vigilance are crucial. Focus on identifying a breakout above the upper boundary, ideally accompanied by increased trading volume to affirm the move. In the event of a retest near the $11-$11.5 support zone, it could provide a favorable opportunity for initiating long positions. Be mindful of potential false breakouts and use risk management strategies, such as setting appropriate stop-loss levels, to protect your capital.
