Gap

Why Buy LLY?A textbook spike trade... that's why! Every morning the stock market open gives us opening volatility spikes on the first 30 minute bar. Most are noise but when that rare one comes along that fits my rules AND has multiple matching confluences... it's time to "Strike at the Spike!" This setup has going for it: At a 50% Retracement of the recent trend (from November 18 - December 4) At the top of a Gap Level At the Volume Profile Point-of-Control for the last year of price action (see below) With a Spike that my indicator shows >80% ATR Clearance I consider the baseline for a trade; this one is 150% so it definitely fits the rules. I would take a spike if there were only 2 of those matching levels above. Targeting the local high for the first take profit at 834. Here is the Daily chart for just how key this level is: Full disclosure: NYSE:LLY is and has been one of my biggest holdings; having owned the stock for over a decade.

EURUSD - Do You Trade Gaps?Gaps can be powerful indicators for spotting potential price movements. They often represent areas where market orders overwhelm supply or demand, creating an imbalance. In this chart, I’ve identified a clear gap (imbalance) on the EUR/USD 1-hour time frame, and I want to share my thoughts on how you can trade them effectively. Why Gaps Matter: Liquidity Zones: Gaps often act as magnets for price action. The market loves to "fill" these areas to rebalance orders. Market Psychology: Gaps represent institutional activity where major players leave their footprint. Recognizing this can give you an edge. Clear Risk Management: Gaps provide clear levels for stop-loss placement and entry zones, making your trade setups precise. My Approach to This Gap: Gap Identification: On this EUR/USD chart, I spotted an imbalance near the 1.0433 area. Confluence: This gap aligns with my premium Fibonacci levels and is located in a significant bullish order block. This strengthens the validity of this setup. Bias Confirmation: After the gap formed, the price showed bullish intent, supporting my bias that the market could push higher to mitigate this imbalance zone. How to Trade Gaps: Be Patient: Wait for price to return to the gap area before entering trades. Impulsive entries can lead to unnecessary losses. Combine with Structure: Always ensure gaps align with your broader trend and other technical tools (e.g., Fibonacci, BOS, CHoCH). Risk Management: Use the gap edges to wdefine tight stop-loss levels and aim for a high reward-to-risk ratio. Conclusion: Gaps are not just empty spaces on the chart; they’re signals of what the market intends to do. In this case, if the price revisits the highlighted gap area, I’ll look for further bullish signs before entering a trade. What are your thoughts on trading gaps? Have you used them in your strategy?

Tesla bearish gap fill for further highs!? Going along the lines of GAP fills since the beginning of the year #tesla have been filling all the gap fills apart from the last 2 big gaps that happened: . My thoughts: - will we see a sell off in the remaining weeks of the year? Fill in the 2nd to last remaining gap and then next year push all the way up to $450 - Do we see the sell off happen till president trump is elected as president and then the stock will fly back to the highs of this year? As Elon is part of D.O.G.E ————————————————————————

Gap opportunity setup -TSLA Gaps are opportunity setups for trading purposes, but why? Because at those times you know for sure that something is happening with the stock so it will move to a certain direction. It gives you a signal of one of the following scenarios: - Someone is "exploiting" news and creating a shakeout to generate liquidity for himself so he can buy more stocks by inducing FEAR into the hearts of the paper hands. - Someone urgently wants to get rid of his stock, so he reduces the price until he finds uninformed value investors who can take from him the stocks. Since he is the puppet master who is a giant of industry relative to the ants of uninformed value investors, there will never be more uninformed value investors demand than his supply, so the gap can't be filled. Note to self: To create educational idea about this. Here I just described 2 scenarios out of 8 possible scenario combinations. You have TrendUP/TrendDown (2) Multiplied X by Gap up/Gap Down (2) Multiplied X by Filled/ Not Filled (2) Equals = (8) combinations. Again, if you don't have the master puppet philosophy of stock market logic, you are always confused. If you look at the market like the master puppet, everything makes sense and you have calm and easy trading. See my other posts about the puppet master theory and philosophy to know more. See that there is an upcoming earnings in TSLA very soon, the stock is just begging to move... If the stock will remain in place, and there will be gap up in earnings, there will be Island pattern so this is clear strong indication to the LONG side...

TSLA: Insanely Bullish! What to Expect Next? | D & W charts.In our previous analysis, we identified that TSLA was looking for its 21-week EMA, a classic region of support, where a very good reversal signal materialized. Now, the price has resumed its previous uptrend, and we see it breaking through the most crucial resistance point at $265, which we also warned about in our last public study, the link to which is below this post. Now, let's update you on the key points to keep an eye on. Daily Chart (Left) Gap Closure: Tesla has closed a significant gap from July 2023 at $289.52, which could act as a resistance level. Remember that gaps work as magnets when tthe price reverses. This gap closure often signifies an area where the stock might face selling pressure as previous buyers look to exit. Support at $265.13: Previously a resistance level, this $265.13 area now serves as a future support based on the principle of polarity. Holding above this level would be a bullish signal, while a drop below might suggest weakness. EMA Support: The stock is trading above its 21-day EMA, suggesting ongoing bullish momentum in the near term. Weekly Chart (Right) Approaching Next Resistance at $299.29: The weekly chart shows the next significant resistance level at $299.29. A break and hold above this level could open up more upside, potentially attracting more bullish interest. EMA Support on Weekly: Similar to the daily, the 21-week EMA is supporting Tesla’s price, adding confidence for bullish traders. Conclusion: Tesla's chart shows bullish momentum with recent gap closure near $289.52 and support from the $265.13 level. Even if we see a top signal, the $265 area is supposed to be our next technical support level, and a pullback wouldn't ruin the bullish thesis to the $300 area - in fact, it would probably just be another buying opportunity, near a support level, when the R/R ratio is optimised. There is no technical evidence suggesting that it could correct for now, but we need to watch the price action very closely, as TSLA's price has just closed an important gap.

Remember, real trading is reactive, not predictive, so let's stay focused on the key points described above and only trade when there is confirmation. “To anticipate the market is to gamble.

BTC CME GAP- CME and cryptocurrency ETFs are important, but in different ways : - The CME is more influential in terms of institutional trading, price discovery, and market structure, while ETFs play a crucial role in making cryptocurrencies accessible to a broader range of investors and driving market adoption. - Don't focus on ETFs, they are still young and small in BTC/ETH market ( around 5% ). - Chicago Mercantile Exchange are older. - Wealthy investors are in BTC from 2017. - This Gap have to be taken soon or later. PS : the green line is EMA200 Happy Tr4Ding !

Educated Gambling!! LOL. Call Options that go $POWW or OW!! Were in a Double Bottom and a Bearish Pennant on the daily so who knows, and the chart doesn't look great either. This one is at the top of my degenerate list, pure speculation. My idea is either a big bang or a misfire. I've been buying NASDAQ:POWW $2.50 calls expiring 1/17/25. Started off buying at $15 then $10 and now $5 per call. And sometimes no one is even selling these options when they list for .01 (actually cost $5 min) My thought is NASDAQ:POWW could either run in the next 3 weeks or all the way up to Inauguration Day on January 20, 2025, hope to at least fill the gap at 2.46 and then get back to June 3rd high of $2.86. Most of us can figure out why it could possibly go parabolic so close to the Election. I hope for God's sake and love of country I'm actually wrong about this and pray for peace. But at the same time, as some of the corrupt powers to be say "never let a crisis go to waste"... Safe Trading Everyone!!

NVIDIA GOING TO $75?? Unlikely but the chart shows...We have a DOUBLE TOP AND A RISING WEDGE with a price target of $75 on the daily chart. It seem unlikely but there is a big old gap from back in Feb 2024 at $75. There is another gap that needs to be filled around $119 that seem more likely. IMO the market like to balance itself by filling the gaps it leaves behind. The RSI looks to of topped out and is also curving over. Its very unlikely for NASDAQ:NVDA to drop that far down, but down to $119 seems likely before a possible Christmas rally (and wash sales) in late DEC. NVDA is such a strong company and demand for its chips is high, I really don't like the looks of that Double Top combined with a Rising Wedge. Safe Trading everyone!! (Charts are only part of the bigger picture especially with Nvidia, it is a beast of a company and who wouldn't love the opportunity to buy more NVDA at $75)

MU: Trading Around a Critical Resistance Level!Since MU broke through its reversal point at $91.47, the stock has entered bullish territory, and has now reached our technical target at $111, which was set in our last public analysis on September 18, when the price was around $88 (link below this post). Now that the technical has materialized exactly as expected, according to the evidence we had at the time, we can update our reading. Daily Chart (Left): Resistance at $111: The price has reached its resistance at $111, however, it needs to close above it to confirm a true breakout. If a top signal materializes below this area, then a pullback might occur. Support at $96.18: Should a pullback occur, the $96.18 level, aligned with the 21-day EMA, can provide support. The price is comfortably trading above this area, which reinforces the bullish momentum. Gap Resistance at $127.24: If the bullish momentum continues, the next major level to watch is the gap resistance at $127.24. Closing this gap could provide a significant boost for the stock, as it will have cleared a major technical barrier. Weekly Chart (Right): Double Bottom Pattern: A clear double bottom is forming around the $85 level, which typically indicates a potential reversal pattern. The price broke through the neckline at $111, but it needs to close above it to confirm this pattern. Projected Target at $157.54: Based on the double bottom pattern, the potential target is around $157.54. This key point is the next technical resistance. Conclusion: MU is in a bullish phase, trying to break through the $111 resistance. With the double bottom pattern in play, the stock has room to test the $127.24 gap resistance and potentially extend toward the $157.54 target. However, should watch for possible top signals, as this could bring a pullback to the $96.18 support area, which may offer buying opportunities if the trend remains intact.
