BTC is preparing for downside breakoutMorning guys,
Yesterday we've said that BTC has no fundamental or technical background for growth and force-major situations that we've got yesterday never lasts too long. Conclusion of our view on Monday was - this spike is good chance to go short at better price level.
Price action today doesn't provide us clear patterns that nuances point that BTC looks heavy. Take a look - on 30 min chart we have bearish engulfing pattern of huge size. During pullback from the top BTC has broken major 5/8 support area and was not able to return back, now any minor upside attempts are pressed by sellers.
As a result we have pennant pattern in progress, which stands more in favor of downside continuation. As a bottom line - we keep our bearish view. For more detailed discussion - visit our forum by signature link, there we put daily videos on BTC.

BTC-short on any upside pullbackMorning guys,
BTC has shown outstanding rally today, that was impossible to foresee as technically as fundamentally. This is force-major issue - Bitfinex has a problems with Noble bank, where major assets stand and Tether has a problems with liquidity then, to keep BTC-USD peg ratio. This has triggered explosive demand for exchange assets that investors hold in Tether and Bitfinex for crypto currencies.
It means that this reaction will be short term, because it doesn't have any fundamental reasons, and when the wave of exchanges will exhaust, BTC should return to previous levels.
We think that this is good opportunity to go short. On daily chart we have perfect AB=CD "222" Sell" at 5/8 Fib resistance and daily overbought area. Now we need to keep an eye on hourly chart and watch for AB-CD upside retracement and smaller "222" Sell, which should give us acceptable area for position taking.
AB=CD shape retracement and go...Morning everybody,
This is just minor update to the same idea on BTC. In fact, we keep the same scenario but slightly adjust the price shape.
On 4H chart we have bullish engulfing and it suggests 1H action in a shape of AB=CD pattern. As soon as it will be completed, it could be setup to go short.
Most probable that it will happen around 3/8 resistance that we've mentioned yesterday, it will depend on the depth of "C" point here.
5900$ is next BTC targetMorning guys,
It seems that our bet on collapse yesterday was correct - as soon as market has reached 3/8 Fib level drop has happened.
Now market has completed some intraday targets. It means that within few hours minor pullback is possible, but we keep our bearish sentiment
and look for 5900$ target on BTC. So, 3/8 retracement again, as yesterday is an area to sell again...
Also - take a look at our previous ideas, dedicated to stock markets and our charts of DAX and NASDAQ... and don't tell that we didn't warn you. This is beginning of the catastrophy, guys...
Minor upside bounce todayGreetings,
It seems our bet on collapse yesterday was correct and BTC indeed has reached lower border of the triangle.
This action has completed AB=CD leg and gives us 1H "222" Buy pattern. Still, we are not exciting on it too much.
Recent collapse was fast and we treat this "222" just as background for minor pullback. Most probable is just 3/8 retracement to ~6600$ area, but not higher than 5/8 level @ 6650$
After that we expect that downside action will continue and treat today's bounce as a chance to go short. Our longer-term view stands intact and it's bearish.
6900-7000 is a good "Sell" area for BTCMorning guys,
Yesterday we've presented our longer-term view on BTC (partially it was placed here, on Trading View, partially on our FPA site, just follow signature link to read it)
and we treat any approach to 6900-7000$ as opportunity to go short.
Today BTC has formed good "222" Sell pattern. We're focused on neckline of our former H&S pattern. Downside breakout will lead BTC back to triangle's border and following breakout.
6500$ is a vital level for short-term perspectiveMorning guys,
BTC shows very narrow price action, activity has dropped significantly, so we do not need even any update on daily and 4H analysis.
Today is NFP release and preliminary balance stands not in favor of BTC as market mostly expects to get good numbers. Anyway, BTC stands tight and is forming something like reverse H&S
on 1H chart. Whatever it will be - 6500$ area has been tested multiple times and supports BTC from collapse. This level will be crucial today either. Drop below it could trigger chain of breakouts
of lower stand levels and trigger action to our downside targets that we've mentioned before on 4H chart.
Standing above 6500$ and breaking 4H trianlge up could turn short-term sentiment to bullish
BTC looks heavyMorning guys,
our 1H H&S pattern has been completed on Friday by occasional spike up of NFP release.
Longer term analysis mostly makes us to look south. It means that every time when market will come to long-term trendline - it is time to go short,
especially if we have some bearish continuation/reversal pattern. Now it is around 6800 - 7000$ on daily chart.
Longer term analysis holds us from taking any long position. It will be possible if long-term triangle will be broken up.
Now we see more chances of 6000$ breakout.

1.1450 is a crucial area for EURGreetings everybody,
EUR stands around vital 1.1450 level. Downside breakout will lead to re-establishing of long-term bear trend and failure of daily reverse H&S potential pattern.
Expectations on NFP data are not in favor of EUR. Right now we see only one pattern that could trigger rally . This is 3-Drive Buy from 1.1450. It will either trigger upside reversal or
we will talk on bearish context next week.
EUR up to 1.1623 then down to ~1.1560Greetings guys,
So, yesterday market has touched our 1.15 support area and neckline of 4H H&S pattern that we've talked recently and still keep in focus.
Now it's time to talk on upside perspectives. Following the harmony of the pattern, upside action should reach 1.17-1.1730 area.
Our butterfly has worked perfectly and market turns up. Now, on 1H we're watching for minor reverse H&S pattern, with upside continuation to 1.1622 Fib resistance first and
drop to 1.1560 - 5/8 Fib support second.
BTC looks to heavy for upside contextMorning everybody,
Recent price action makes us keep bearish scenario valid. BTC action looks heavy, no signs of thrust up. Current action as on daily chart as on 4H chart
looks like retracement after fast drop. Besides, we have uncompleted our major daily 5900$ target.
Putting it all together, our expectation stands with downward continuation. The only uncertainty is not about the target but around the point where this action should start.
Either it will start right from here, or, market could form 1H "222" Sell". Please for daily and 1H patterns visit our signature link, dedicated to BTC analysis.
EUR is tending lowerMorning guys,
Last week was a reversal one right from strong daily resistance. As a result, we've got bearish engulfing pattern on weekly chart, which, as a rule,
takes the shape of AB=CD action on lower time frames.
Since we also could recognize H&S shape here, our expectation is EUR should reach ~1.1450 area, by forming right shoulder and upside retracement first,
as it is shown on the chart:
