$BTC Bearish Divergence on the Weekly !? NO!!!Someone on Twitter sent me a chart showing Bearish Divergence on the Weekly for BTC and asked me to analyze it. (hopefully this link shows the chart) pbs.twimg.com My response is below. --- This is a really good question! Caught me off guard for a second and I had to really analyze it. That chart assumes we’re at the end of the cycle, so its showing bearish divergence prematurely in Mar ’25. But the fractal it’s being compared to shows divergence with the peak in Nov ’21. Here’s the correct way to draw the trends. If you draw from the bear market low to current date, you see we are just getting warmed up. This cycle is mimicking 2017 as I’ve mentioned a lot over the past year.

I marked where we are so you can see the Feb - Mar ’21 dip in RSI. Imagine tapping out right before the moonshot! It’s easy to get caught off guard with that chart, as the fractals from ’21 and ’25 on the RSI do look strikingly familiar, but notice how the right shoulder on the RSI falls in Nov 21’ , but the right shoulder on the RSI in Dec ’24 is going higher, pointing to the RSI following the ’17 uptrend. I wonder if the person who made that chart actually thought that was the correct way to analyze the chart, or if that’s just a troll bear-posting. I could see someone like CredibleCrypto or an XRP-maxi posting that.

Russel 2000 Compared to General MarketTVC:RUT has continued to sell off since my last couple posts and I believe we could see a huge market correction this year if price doesn't look to stop selling. The next play on RUT I would like to see price pullback to the last breakout zone ($2,200) to confirm a continuation in trend This play also looks very familiar to the 2022 selloff with equal highs to our current price structure. Seeing that AMEX:SPY is at a higher high tells me there is market-wide divergence and a topping pattern could be in play. Now when we add CRYPTOCAP:BTC and $OTHER to the mix we can see bitcoin actually tops out first while Alts and SPX look to make one more leg up before crashing out. The Trend Reader at the lower tab has topped out and has a bearish crossing in the overbought zone indicating we can see a long term play to the downside.

EURUSD - FOMC Prep - These 2 scenarios to anticipateMarket is overall uptrend after previous low showed the reversal point to head higher. Bias is for the Buy However, FOMC can produce volatility so we can have spikes in both direction. There's a Sell scenario off an H4 gap. But the preferred idea is to head lower, getting a better price on the HTF, then continue to the Equal Highs / Double top, taking out the liquidity target eventually. Be aware, if it's not clear this week, we may have a clearer picture on next week's news and the move could also happen then if there's a delay/ranging market. The D1 timeframe usually provides the smoother outlook. I mostly base my ideas on that. Leave your comments below if you have any questions. Thanks

XAU/USD 06 March 2025 Intraday AnalysisH4 Analysis: -> Swing: Bullish. -> Internal: Bearish. Price has printed a bullish CHoCH according to analysis and bias dated 28 February 2025. Price is currently trading within an established internal range. Intraday Expectation: Price is now trading in premium of 50% internal EQ where we could see a reaction at any point. Price could also target H4 supply zone before targeting weak internal low, priced at 2,832.720 Note: With the Federal Reserve's dovish stance and persisting geopolitical uncertainties, heightened volatility in Gold is expected to continue. Traders should proceed with caution and adjust risk management strategies in this high-volatility environment. Price could also be driven by President Trump's policies, geopolitical moves and economic decisions which are sparking uncertainty. H4 Chart: M15 Analysis: -> Swing: Bullish. -> Internal: Bearish. Analysis and bias remains the same as analysis dated 03 March 2023. As mentioned in my analysis dated 28 February 2025, whereby price printed a bullish CHoCH but stated I would continue to monitor price. On this occasion I have marked the previous bullish CHoCH in red as price did not pull back deeply enough to warrant internal structure breaks, additionally, there was minimal time spent . Price has printed a further bullish CHoCH which is now confirmed. Price is not trading within an established internal range. Intraday Expectation: Price to continue bullish, react at either premium of internal 50% EQ, or M15 supply zone before targeting weak internal low priced at 2,832.720. Note: With the Federal Reserve maintaining a dovish stance and ongoing geopolitical tensions, volatility in Gold prices is expected to remain elevated. Traders should exercise caution, adjust risk management strategies, and stay prepared for potential price whipsaws in this high-volatility environment. M15 Chart:

QQQ: Capacity of the PullbackThis chart presents a Fibonacci channel projection based on key swing points, including a Higher High, Higher Low, an All-Time High (ATH), and a current Lower Low. The levels of Fibonacci channel that market should abide by for the nearest future, are defined by: HL & LL - sets direction (fib 0 line); applied to ATH (fib 1 line). The derived fib ratios help to anticipate future price movements acting as key resistance where the pullback (reaction to prior impulsive bearish wave) might reach in respect to its structural capacity. B&W dashed line indicates a potential inflection point where the price could either reverse or extend further into supply zones.

EURUSD - The upward trend continuesAccording to my analysis in the link () which reached the target, I wrote in that article that this upward movement is a temporary one, but yesterday, with a very strong movement that led to the breakdown of the structure in the upper timeframe, the order flow in the four-hour and one-hour timeframes also became upward. Note that this order flow in the daily timeframe is still bearish. According to the interpretation of the chart and using the concept of order flow and structures of different timeframes, we can expect a minor price correction after clearing the Asian High (Of course, this means that the Asian high liquidity clearing may not happen and the price may correct directly without this move) and returning to the support area and then an upward movement to 1.07129. Do not forget that in these few days we have important data releases such as NFP and this analysis is presented without fundamental discussions and only based on technicals. I hope it is useful for you Good luck

STX ANALYSIS (2D)The STX pair has reached a demand zone. A price movement fractal seems to be repeating (highlighted by the orange and white boxes). In the orange boxes, every time STX has dropped more than 72%, it has made a rebound move to the upside. We are looking for buy/long positions around the demand zone. The targets for STX are $0.93 - $1.10 - $1.30. A daily candle close below the invalidation level will invalidate this analysis. For risk management, please don't forget stop loss and capital management When we reach the first target, save some profit and then change the stop to entry Comment if you have any questions Thank You

Seeds in Chaos, Petals in Profit -A trader's guideSeeds in Chaos, Petals in Profit A trader's guide to reading the market through nature's lens. By: Masterolive Intro: This trader's guide is not another cookie-cutter trading system. Instead, it focuses on building a long-term mindset and a way to read the market's chaos through nature's lens. This guide is grounded in real success but is not for the daily trader; it works for long-term swings using hourly price moves. Over seven years of trading, I developed a unique way to view the market, which led to a practical trading mindset. The technique comes from simplifying the chart after experiencing endless combinations of indicators to no avail. It wasn't until I had to explain my concept to someone else that I found a way to use a garden analogy that fits the mindset well to see the market as a natural system: planting in chaos, thriving through storms. Later, I read two books: "The Alchemy of Finance" by George Soros and "The Misbehavior of Markets" by Benoit Mandelbrot and Richard L. Hudson. Surprisingly, these two books validated my approach and inspired me to share it. Previously, I would tell no one because I thought it was silly. The overall goal is to plant a garden, watch it grow, and understand how the weather affects the plants. This guide walks you through determining what flowers you want to plant and how to read the weather after you have made your choice. It uses a garden and planting flowers as an analogy to choosing the right stocks and interpreting an EMA indicator to determine the market's direction. This guide also works well for Bitcoin. This guide will help you understand how to read and interpret the chart. It will also give you accurate future context so you react less to the market moves and see the bigger picture: Plant while they panic. This guide is not financial advice. Part One - Planting. Some traders focus on various companies based on technicals or fundamentals, some short-term and some long-term. Other traders will focus on a few stocks or diversify across many.  For this guide, we pick and diversify a sector with roles that thrive together. The industry can be broad or small, but we will use 10 assets, including nine stocks and Bitcoin, and explain how they correlate and grow into a weather-worthy garden. In this garden, we will focus on Tech and Finance and explain how to plant and organize the garden. First, we must look back at the broadest picture in finance. We will choose a stock exchange and a crypto exchange in this garden. (1 and 2 out of 10 flowers)  Why an exchange? Simply put, traders will always look for stocks and crypto to buy. They will look for the best companies and the best opportunities. Therefore, stock exchanges will benefit from the revenue they generate. If a stock goes parabolic, the exchange still profits from that price move. Choosing the exchange skips the hassle of finding companies in a haystack. The same is true for the crypto exchange. Our garden has two flowers: one stock exchange and one crypto exchange, representing those two sectors. Next, what else can correlate with our garden from a zoomed-out view? Let's choose a Bank and a payment processor. (3 and 4 out of 10 flowers)  Traders will need the bank to on and offramp their cash profits to and from the stock and crypto exchange. Meanwhile, they will need to process those electronic payments.  The bank and payment processors benefit from trading surges; if everyone piles in for a parabolic price move of a particular stock, the bank and payment processors benefit from the action, and the exchanges offering the stock get revenue from the surge. Once again, this choice skips the need to hunt for specific stocks. It takes advantage of all stocks since traders need cash, banks, electronic payments, and exchanges to buy those company stocks or bitcoin. Our garden now has Four flowers, a bank and payment processor, and two exchanges for this sector. The correlation? Exchanges, banks, and processors all thrive when traders move money. The fifth is a pivot flower before we discuss the tech company sector. This pivot flower is a gambling company (5 out of 10).  How does this correlate? Some traders and other users gamble with their cash and profits; even in a recession or a depression, people will still gamble. Plus, users might take their gambling winnings and invest them in a stock or buy bitcoin. They need a bank, an exchange, and a payment method. In this case, the flowers are self-reinforcing: gambling winnings or losses, stock booms or busts; it doesn't matter in the big picture because, once again, exchanges, banks, and processors all thrive when people move money. Our garden now has five flowers with a broad but strong correlation. Now, on to the tech sector with the last five flowers.  You will hone in on specific tech roles at this point, but remember that your choices will be self-reinforcing.  If your choice booms, the exchange benefits, and you benefit again from the exchange stock. You will electronically transfer your profits to your bank, which you benefit from by owning the bank stock and payment processor. But if you're smart, you will skip the gambling and let the crowd roll the dice while you plant the profits. We will focus on two more flowers (6 and 7 out of 10) for tech, so we need to find companies exposed to the popular and relevant tech we want. For tech company 1, you could expose yourself to AI, EVs, and ROBOTS. For tech company 2, Semiconductors (or graphics cards). In this section of our garden, graphic cards and AI rely on one another, while EVs and robots use AI to operate. Eventually, people will buy or sell the robot and EV, and some may use the profits to buy stock (or Bitcoin), requiring a bank and payment processor. Meanwhile, people use LLMs, log into their bank, or exchange daily on a computer that requires a graphics card.  Our garden now has seven flowers out of 10, 3 more to go! We want to diversify (but stay correlated with our garden), so next, we will look at a real estate company or ETF—but not just any company or ETF, one that develops in tech hub areas. How does this correlate?  Robots, AI, EVs, and graphics cards all need workers to operate the companies; young talent will want to move to places where they can work in AI or Robotics or factory EV workers, so the real estate in those areas will be in high demand, so now we own the real estate for our Ai, EV, Robots, and graphic card workers. As tech grows, real estate booms, driving more money through exchanges, banks, and processors. We now have eight flowers in our weather-worthy garden. For the 9th flower, we turn to a wildflower: none other than Bitcoin. Bitcoin is not just a crypto coin but a capital asset, a store of value for your currency when it debases. People, especially tech workers, will buy, trade, and sell Bitcoin.  As people learn and turn to the asset, global capital will flow through Bitcoin as people around the world save their cash value,  whether it be from gambling winnings, selling a car, selling real estate, selling a stock, or simply putting part of their income from their tech job into it regularly. All of this requires Exchanges, Banks, and payment processors to move.  Bitcoin correlates with that, as exchanges profit off bitcoin, which you own stock in the exchange company. You still need a bank to land on and a payment processor to move the money electronically. We now have nine flowers in our garden, and it's almost complete. How can we diversify even more? We can use industrial metal for our last flower, but how does an industrial metal correlate with our tech and finance garden? Copper is the metal that conducts electricity, and electricity is needed to move money, send Bitcoin, power a growing network of EV superchargers, and power the factories that produce EVs, graphics cards, robots, and more. Copper's the most vigorous root, tying every flower, from tech to finance, into a weather-worthy bed. Meanwhile, the crowds go for gold and sleep on copper. That completes our garden with 10 flowers. It's a diversified flowerbed, but the flowers correlate in the big picture: Tech drives money movement, which benefits exchanges, banks, and processors; copper powers tech, which drives Bitcoin adoption. Your goal is to find and build your garden. Think up different bigger pictures with other sectors and roles. Correlating these assets keeps the garden strong through chaos and self-reinforces one another. To review, we have the following: Stock exchange Crypto Exchange Bank Payment processor Gambling Ai / EV / Robots Semiconductors (Graphics cards) Real estate Bitcoin Copper Now that we have planted our garden, let's examine the weather and its meaning. We will learn to read the weather and see when storms are coming or clearing.  In part 2, you will set a simple EMA indicator, learn how to interpret the weather, and tend to the flowers in our garden.

S&P500: Reasons of DeclineThe S&P 500 has been experiencing a clear downtrend, characterized by a progression of lower highs and lower lows meaning that each attempt at a rebound is met with increased selling, preventing the market from establishing a meaningful recovery. The current formation suggests that bearish sentiment is still dominant, with investors possibly looking for further downside support levels before a potential reversal. Until we see a shift in this downtrend structure, such as series a higher lows followed by a higher highs, the market is likely to remain under pressure. Another confirmation would be a breakout from line that connects ATH and 2 lower highs. Main factors in play: Geopolitical instability affecting investor confidence. Tariffs and trade wars increasing costs for businesses and consumers. Weakened global alliances leading to market uncertainty. Rising economic risks impacting corporate earnings and economic growth expectations. Protectionist policies can backfire U.S. tariffs negatively impact the economy by increasing costs for businesses and consumers, disrupting trade relationships, and fueling economic uncertainty. Recent tariffs on imports from trading partners like Mexico and Canada raise prices on goods such as automobiles, energy, raw materials, and food, leading to inflationary pressures that hurt both companies and consumers. Businesses reliant on imported components face higher production costs, forcing them to either absorb the costs, reducing profitability, or pass them on to consumers, decreasing demand. Retaliatory tariffs from affected countries further compound the issue by making U.S. exports less competitive abroad, harming industries like agriculture, manufacturing, and technology. The threat of supply chain disruptions and escalating trade conflicts creates market volatility creating discouraging investment climate and prompting sell-offs in equities. Additionally, fears of a broader economic slowdown due to weakened global trade relations further erode investor confidence, contributing to stock market declines. Impact of recent geopolitical shift The S&P 500 likely fell in response to the geopolitical instability and uncertainty stemming from recent events. Investors tend to react negatively to signs of weakening U.S. leadership on the global stage, especially when it leads to disruptions in alliances and strategic partnerships that have historically provided economic and military stability. Seeing the U.S. aligning with autocracies while European and NATO allies are preparing for a future without American leadership introduces concerns about global security and long-term economic consequences. Furthermore, the perception that adversaries of free world may become more aggressive, potentially escalating conflicts, obviously adds to market anxieties. Investors fear that heightened geopolitical tensions could lead to disruptions in trade, energy markets, and global supply chains, all of which can negatively impact corporate earnings and economic growth. As a result, market participants likely sold off equities in favor of safer assets, leading to a decline in the S&P 500. This demonstrates how political decisions can have far-reaching effects on financial markets and beyond.
