Why I'm Going Short on USDCAD: Analyzing Market ConditionsKey Reasons for a Bearish Outlook
1. Economic Differences: The U.S. economy is doing well, showing strong growth, while Canada’s economy is struggling. This usually strengthens the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar.
2. Oil Prices: Canada’s currency is closely tied to oil prices. If oil prices stabilize or drop, it could weaken the Canadian dollar further, especially since Canada’s economy isn’t performing well.
3. Central Bank Policies: The U.S. Federal Reserve might lower interest rates, which could attract more investment into the U.S. dollar. Meanwhile, the Bank of Canada is likely to stay cautious due to weak economic data.
Given these factors, I believe there’s a good chance for USDCAD to move lower. I’ll be using probabilities to guide my short positions and manage risk effectively.

On the 12M timeframe, there is insufficient data available. Therefore, we will move to lower monthly timeframes to identify a valid range and look for FB mitigation.

Fractal
The Alt token market (TOTAL 3)This is one of those charts that does not need a huge amount of explanation. It is a 5 day chart comparing October 2020 (prior to the bull run that followed over the next 6 months). There are many fractals with that time and the present day.
1) Notice the life cross? Green arrows.
2) Notice the 5-day/200.sma resistance before the breakout? Red arrows?
3) Following the breakout price action in October 2020 the candle body closes were exactly 22% above the life cross and never closed lower just as it is today.
4) This idea is a continuation of the “Total 3 market capital to 10x” idea (below) that was published in July 2023. The bull flag informs us there remains another 500-600% return. Some still think is this a bear market. What gives?
5) Just as it was written in the first idea, “It is not my expectation for legacy tokens to participate in this bull market”. Hear this raw. LTC, DASH, MATIC, XRP, you name it, the big legacy market capital tokens are not participating in this bull market. Receive many messages explaining with this point of view is “wrong” despite the lacklustre price action. Remember, emotions are a Maccy D’s recruitment tool, I mean emotions are a money killer.
6) There’s a whole bunch of other fractal info shared elsewhere but the overall picture is well presented here. The next 6 months will transfer wealth for those with a plan.

Total 3 market capital to 10x
BTC💹
Outlook: BTC has been breaking bullish on our Daily time frame and has shown great signs of accumulation, price is currently re-accumulating and has corrected under the 10 and 20emas. Scaling down to our 5hr time frame we are currently inside this Daily impulse leg and could see price continue to that Daily high. However I want to see bitcoin correct and come down to the 10 and 20ema to show a valid correction/re-accumulation and leave enough space for the 30m and 5m time frame to do the same thing for my entry setup and criteria.
Bias: Bullish but needs time to correct on the 5hr time frame before I look for any longs.
USOIL💹
Outlook: Starting out with the 5hr chart, price has been accumulating all last week. Price has shown a valid correction and has re-accumulated. I am now scaling down to the 30m chart and waiting for price to show me bullishness and impulse above the 10 and 20emas before I scale down to my 5m entry timeframe.
Bias: Bullish but needs time on the 30m time frame to show conviction above the 10 and 20emas.
XAUUSD💹
Outlook: Starting out with our 5hr time frame, price has been accumulating and showed a valid impulse above the 10 and 20 ema. Price has corrected on our 5hr time frame below the 10 and 20ema showing a valid correction but we still are inside our impulse leg that we created on the 5hr. What I want to see now is I want price to show bullishness and conviction above the 10 and 20emas on our 30m time frame and then show a correction showing re-accumulation just like we did on our 5hr time frame. I want to see this for gold before scaling down to my 5m entry time frame.
Bias: Bullish but needs time on our 30m time frame to show an impulse and correction above the 10 and 20emas.
XRP/USDT - Potential Fractal FormingInteresting to see XRP drop so much the last week due to the news about the filing. Sadder still not have seen a decent bounce. It makes me wonder whether the overall sentiment of XRP is bearish. In any case, there's a potential for a fractal here as described in the image. So, very resrevadly I'd be going long on XRP but absolutely not using this as an opportunity to trade as things seem quite uncertain. Let's await confirmation of an overall trend resolution before taking part in XRP.
5-Oct-24I think we could be aligning with the blue fractal. This suggests that we're about to break down on $60,000, which would make sense after testing the level 3 times resulting in only a weak bounce.
We could then form a "spindle" below $60,000, repeatedly breaking up on the big even while forming lower lows and lower highs, eventually returning to the 50% level of recent volatility.
BTC💹
Outlook: BTC has started to break bullish on our 5hr time frame. If you look to the left we are inside the Daily A/Impulse range and have just been correcting. I would now like to see price on our 5hr time frame fo come back to the 10ema and correct to show a valid correction where I can now confirm on my 30m and 5m time frame where I can look to get involved into higher prices!
Bias: Bullish but needs time to correct on the 5hr time frame. Keeping an eye on this but looks like it will take some time!
XAUUSD💹
Outlook: Gold has been showing a valid A / impulse correction on our Daily. And has shown a valid A / impulse correction on our 5hr. Price is now creating a valid A / impulse correction on our 30m time frame. I want to see price show good correction on the 30m time towards the 10ema below before I scale down to the 5m time frame to look for entry's but I am liking how Gold is moving right now so keeping an eye on this!
Bias: Bullish but I want to see a correction on the 30m time frame first before I go down to the 5m!
EURUSD💹
Outlook: The EUR has been very bearish on the 5hr and seems to be a bit over extended. I would wait for price to pullback and make a correction into the 10ema. Then allow the 30m to show you a impulse lower then correct into the 10ema and confirm the same with the 5m entry time frame. This can definitely continue down and not meet my rules but I would wanna see a valid correction on the 5hr Context time frame before going down to my validation and entry time frames.
Bias: Bearish but needs time
USDCAD💹
Outlook: Price has been breaking bullish on the 5hr time frame and we have 2 breaks of structure telling us price has been creating demand. Price can defiantly continue here. I personally wait for the 5hr to come back to the 10ema to show a re-accumulation and a valid correction then look inside my 30m and 5m to confirm so for me it needs time.
Bias: Bullish and can continue on the lower time frames but for me I want to see a correction back into the 10ema. Price seems a little over extended here on the 5hr.
XRPUSD: Bullish Setup AheadAs I prepare to share my bullish trade idea for XRPUSD on TradingView, several key global fundamentals align with my positive outlook. Here are a few significant factors to consider:
1. Regulatory Clarity: Recent developments in cryptocurrency regulation, particularly favorable rulings for Ripple Labs, have boosted market confidence. This clarity is essential for institutional investment and long-term growth in the crypto space.
2. Market Sentiment: The overall sentiment in the cryptocurrency market has shifted positively, with many traders anticipating a bullish trend. Indicators such as the MACD and Stochastic Oscillator suggest potential upward momentum, reflecting a growing interest in XRP as a viable investment option.
3. Technical Analysis: Current technical indicators show that XRP is poised for significant moves. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is in a neutral to slightly bullish zone, indicating room for further upside before reaching overbought conditions.
In my trading strategy, I will utilize probabilities to position myself for long trades in XRPUSD.

BTC Support Resistancethe graph shows the historical swing powers at each range, used indicator is:
Practical Use Cases:
Identifying Critical Support/Resistance Levels:
The importance score indicates how much volume was traded at specific fractal levels, giving an idea of where price might react. For example, a high-importance score at a specific price range suggests that it is a strong support or resistance zone. If price approaches this range, you might anticipate a bounce (support) or a reversal (resistance).
Example:
Price approaches a bin with a high importance score of 25, while the bins above have much lower scores (e.g., 5 or 10). This suggests that the price may face strong resistance at this level. You could plan to sell or tighten your stop-loss, anticipating a reversal or retracement.
Predicting Breakouts:
If price moves into a high-importance bin and surpasses it, and the following bins have much lower scores, it suggests that the price may "pump" up toward the next significant high-scored bin. This can be used to anticipate breakouts in bullish or bearish directions.
Example:
Price is hovering around a high-importance score bin (e.g., 20) with low importance levels above it (e.g., 2, 3, or 5). This suggests that once the price breaks above this high-importance range, there’s little resistance in the near term, and the price may quickly rally toward the next high-score bin.
Using Volume to Confirm Price Moves:
Traders can use the importance score to confirm the strength of a price move. If a significant volume of trades occurred during a fractal at a specific price range, this adds credibility to that level. Trading breakouts or reversals at these levels becomes more reliable.
Example:
If price drops toward a bin with a high importance score and rebounds, you could take a long position anticipating a reversal. Similarly, if price breaks through a high-score range on strong momentum, you might enter a short position, expecting further declines.
Adjusting Stop-Loss and Take-Profit Levels:
Use the importance scores to set stop-losses and take-profit levels around key support and resistance ranges. The normalized scores allow you to see where price is most likely to stall or reverse, helping you place your exits more effectively.
Example:
Set a stop-loss just below a high-score support zone if you're long, or just above a high-score resistance zone if you're short, minimizing risk. For take-profit levels, target bins with lower scores after breaking through a high-importance range.
Volume-Based Market Sentiment:
This indicator gives a sense of market sentiment by showing where significant volumes were traded. If the current price range has low importance, it may indicate low interest or participation, suggesting that the price could be more volatile or prone to rapid movements once it breaks out.
btc wyckoff accumulationblah blah blah this ones for all the fans out there
-- btc is at mid range support after finding its way back up from range lows, its clear to me that bulls are in control at the moment and have been forming nice accumulation at the middle of the range, hoping for a good push up to the top. no reason for bears to be in control so lets just have fun guys
