XRP - MonthlyJust something I noticed on the higher timeframes with XRP
We have tapped the Dec 2017 & Jan 2018 candle body closes / open perfectly and showing a solid rejection.
$1.96 is a solid reversal zone being the 12M candle closes as well as the Monthly candle closes.
I will go into more detail about why this is a solid reversal point in the next post on the Weekly Timeframe for more confluences.
And also refer back to my previous post for the Daily Timeframe completing the analysis.
My idea is that we can easily come back to sub $0.30 after this rejection to see the Dec 2020 & Jan 2021 candle body closes / open.
More reasons as to why is the next 2 posts!
Argument for Shorting TECK.It took me 2 hours to review 5 charts with this method of analysis. That is obviously not efficient enough, but I was really pleased with the way my ideas continually flowed into one another until I came up with a "solution". Have I created order out of this chaos? Probably not, but this is what I came up with and I'm really excited to see if it plays out. Normally, I am trying to do all of this in my head, so it felt really good to write it down on the chart for once.
Definitely need to refine this approach. From my perspective it is like if you were training to run a marathon by running for 30 miles. The marathon will never be easy, but compared to 30 miles maybe it will be achievable with regularity.
Realistically, I'm the 400/800 guy, but I prefer my suffering long and drawn out L.O.L.
GBPJPY - 5-9 April Weekly Trade PlanGBPJPY
Monthly: Bullish
Weekly Bullish
Daily: Bullish
4H: Bullish
COT:
GBP : Long 68% - Short 32% (Strong)
JPY : Long 23% - Short 77% (Weak)
Monthly: Solid bullish and with previous month close above 150.40 indicates a bullish continuation to target current monthly resistance at 155.
Weekly: Solid Bullish after 22-26 March week candle tested broken resistance 148.85 and bounced with a long nice lower wick. While last week closed solid bullish above the resistance formed at 151.62. Current weekly resistance is 153.84 April 2018 weekly candle wick then 155.
Daily: Strong Bullish momentum with close above previous resistance formed at 151.90 and with GBP is currently strong and JPY is weak from COT data that is already reflected on the chart, bullish momentum continuation is expected to extend further to target 155. Retracement should be contained within 151.90/151.
So I've 2 Scenarios for next week as following:
Scenario 1 : Looking for GJ to retrace and form a support between 152.26 and 151.84 to confirm creating a HL to extend the bullish momentum and to test highs
Scenario 2 : A failure to create a support will indicate a LH is formed and we may extend the correction to test 150.68

Daily Chart Outlook:
GBPJPY - 22 March - 2 April 21 Weekly Trade PlanGBPJPY
This is my 29 March – 2 April 21 Week Trade Plan for GBPJPY
Monthly: Solid bullish and with a close above 150.40 will open the door to test 153.84 / 154.90 but still a close above 152.62 the May/Aug 13 zone high that is holding GJ from any upside.
Weekly: Solid Bullish with previous week candle tested broken resistance 148.85 and bounced with a long nice lower wick. But still minor weekly resistance formed at 151.62 will be holding any up move until a close above 152.62
Close above the weekly resistance is required for further up move but still a close above 152.62 Monthly range high will give solid confirmation
Close below will indicate a top formed with rejection from M range and a correction to the up move is due
Daily: Solid Bullish with support formed at 148.76 after testing 24 to 26 zone 149.63 / 148.30. A Resistance zone 151.74/151.91 to be a rejection point for any further up move. A solid close above will indicate bullish momentum continuation.
So I've 2 Scenarios for next week as following:
Scenario 1 : Looking for GJ to retrace and form a support between 151.63 and 149.86 to confirm creating a HL to extend the bullish momentum and to test highs
Scenario 2 : A failure to create a support will indicate a LH is formed and we may test the lows created at 148.76 and may be continuation

EURNZD - 29 March - 2 April 21 Week Trade PlanEURNZD
Previous Month : Bearish
Previous Week : Bullish
Daily : Bearish
- EURNZD managed finally to break the range 1.6660/1.6520 to the upside with a solid 300 pip bullish candle which was due to NZD housing prices and Risk Off sentiment in market (NZD is a risk driven currency) reaching a solid resistance zone 1.7020/1.6980.
- Currently resistance zone is a historical Sup/Res that did hold for several times. Lately acted as a solid resistance during Jan in a ranging area from 1.7020 1.6820.
- COT report showing that NZD long positions are getting closed while NZD shorts are not increasing which means that this is a take profit for Long positions and still not a change in positions to Short NZD. We need more views on next 2 weeks positioning in order to have clear view on position changes.
- Seasonality showing that EURNZD will reach it’s top this month and will start continuing it’s bearish trend. Which could justify the spike this month along with the COT long positions.
- I’m looking for EURNZD to range between 1.7020/1.6820 after the current run from the lows created at 1.6500 which acts as a HL after the 1.6320 LL created in Feb.
- Will prefer longs with support formation above 1.6700 to retest the highs created at 1.6980 and may be continuation. And shorts with resistance formation below 1.6980 to retest the broken range high at 1.6660/1.6620
- Building Permits on Tuesday and Consumer Confidence on Thursday may give some move during Asian Session but not trend changer.

EURNZD - 22-26 March 21 Week Trade Plan EURNZD
Can't find a clear direction for EURNZD now as we are in a very tide range for 3 weeks. A break of this range and a sustain momentum after the break will give us a clear way where we are heading. I recommend not to trade EURNZD till a clear direction.
Previous Month : Bearish
Previous Week : Bearish
Daily : Bearish
- The COT report showing that NZD buyers are closing longs and Shorts had increased to 40% from 30% last week. With such change in positions, we could see EURNZD move to the upside but be cautious that this could be a profit taking for Long position. Will monitor COT report in coming weeks to clearly understand the positions swaps.
- As for news this week, the important are on Monday Westpac Consumer Survey and Wednesday Trade Balance which will move the market.

- EURNZD still ranging between 1.6700 / 1.6560 after creating low at 1.6320 triggered by Interest Rate Decision and retraced back the whole down move. The range high is contained below the daily support at 1.666x with rejection to hold above 1.6700.
- Looking for either support formation above 1.6700 to trigger Long positions or resistance formation below 1.6570 to trigger shorts. Also, current range trades could be played till we break this range 1.6700/1.6560. So, I may look to Short on 4H Res formation below 1.6700 and Long on Solid 4H formation above 1.6560.
- The COT report showing that NZD buyers are still in control and increasing their NZD long positions. Still NZD sellers are not into market yet and this adds confirmations for EURNZD to continue bearish momentum.
- Seasonality is showing that NZD will weaken till end March, but still NZD holding and continuing it's strength. We could see some reversals on EURNZD as we had created new lows, but still such spikes are opportunities for better shorts.
- So with Current solid bearish momentum, COT and Seasonality; I'd expect EURNZD to continue the bearish momentum and any spike will be treated as a good opportunity for shorts until a solid support formation above 1.7020 level.
- Important news for NZD this week on Thursday GDP and Wednesday Rate Decision which will move the NZD.

- EURNZD edged a bit higher last week away for ranging zone 6650/6550 at 6760 a bit shy from the major resistance at 6820 that is currently acting as a solid barrier for EURNZD. But on 4H a HH/HL we can see a HH/HL formation that may act as a trigger to test the 6820 resistance.
- A Solid HTF Support formation above 6820 will indicate that a low formed for a 7020 target. Failure to sustain a support above 6820 and with HTF solid resistance formation below 6820 will be a sign for bearish momentum continuation and we may retest the lows created at 6320
- The COT report showing that NZD buyers are still in control and increasing their NZD long positions. Still NZD sellers are not into market yet and this adds confirmations for EURNZD to continue bearish momentum.
- Seasonality is showing that NZD will weaken till end March, but still NZD holding and continuing it's strength. We could see some reversals on EURNZD as we had created new lows, but still such spikes are opportunities for better shorts.
- So with Current solid bearish momentum, COT and Seasonality; i'd expect EURNZD to continue the bearish momentum and any spike will be treated as a good opportunity for shorts until a solid support formation above 1.7020 level.
- Through trading several Months EURNZD, I prefer to see retracements to any move in order to have a range to trade to target created. So i recommend to Short after retracement or break and Resistance formation below broken Support and vise versa for Longs.
- Important news for NZD this week on Friday Business NZ PM and some important news for China on Wednesday may move NZD during Asia Session.

- EURNZD as expected created a lower resistance below 6660 which pushed EIRNZD to create a new low at 6320 helped by Interest rate news and NZ economical optimism. The new low created triggered a hard pullback as it was Feb End and profit taking which currently pushed EURNZD again above 6660.

- EURNZD finally broken the range and closed below 1.6780 reaching 1.6720 and barely 1.6620, meaning we are in a very solid bearish momentum.
- The COT report showing that NZD sellers are picking up for the first time since the start of 2021 but still not a confirmation that buyers are out yet. I anticipate that this could be the spike that EN does with each new low created.

- EURNZD since 5Jan still ranging between 6980 / 6840 after a long term bearish trend since the top created on March 2020.
- The COT report still showing that 68% of institutional positions are Long NZD which is a bit less than last week, but still at it's highest levels since 3 years compared to 32% Short positions. This is translated on the chart with EURNZD sustaining it's bearish trend and we are seeing support levels broken every week.
- Seasonality showing that NZD should be ranging during Feb after reaching the top during Jan by reaching 6770 sup and slightly to the weak side.
- So with Current Range, COT and Seasonality; i'd expect EURNZD to be ranging and slightly moving up if we formed Support above 6980.
- Through trading several Months EURNZD, I prefer to see retracements to any move in order to have a range to trade to target created. So i recommend to Short after retracement or break and Resistance formation below broken Support and vise versa for Longs.

Why I'm bullish for XRPWhile most people are talking about the fundementals, i look at the charts.
Actually i see a pretty bullish chart.
On the weekly, we see a broken trendline. This trendline is tested now. This is all in line with the fib 78.6% retracement.
The daily fib fulfilled the fib extension target (-0.618) almost PERFECTLY.
So overall, the charts are looking pretty bullish for me. I don't trade fundementals.
