USDCAD - Liquidity AttackThis pair has been horrible to trade, it is caught in a very ugly looking range that keeps teasing us with structure shifts.
I won't be interested in trading this pair until we get a clear breakout or a scoop manipulation as illustrated. Until then we must sit on our hands and look for trades elsewhere.
The majority of retail is buying USDCAD according to sentiment, that is why I am more inclined on trading the manipualtion scoop.
NZD/CHF Long SetupNZD/CHF had a big push down after that it started having an consolidation faze and them some market manipulation to grab some profits from retail traders. I think it is the end of it and if we can get a nice bullish candle to close above the blue level it will be a nice indication that price will continue pushing higher. Cheers
BTC - the big shortAfter the recent bull run, many bitcoin analyst target the old time highs (20000 $). However based on my analysis, BTC is in a very important short manipulation zone. The first objective is in the 10832 $, the full potential that I give to this movement is up to the 9475 $, it could continue even lower. The risk/reward ratio's are extremely favourable.
BTC is going to cream everyone then move to the sky.With all the added pressure on the currency market due to corona virus, Bitcoin is set to sail.
I predict that most economies are going to tank a lot further yet also.
It is not wise to buy yet, wait for all the "dumb money" to buy, get wiped out by market makers, then buy.
See how easy it is to see stop losses, do you not think that big institutions can't see them??? Liquidity for the taking.
I will be looking to buy coins around the orange price.
Also I will not be trading bitcoin, I will be buying the coins and storing them into a secure offline wallet. Must better to invest in bitcoin for long term than to try trade it.
This is long term idea and is NOT a trade but an INVESTMENT.
LET THE MARKET SHOW YOU WHERE TO GONotice the 5 touches of previous resistance marked by the blue arrows. This "strong level" entices people to sell and place their stops just above the level. See how price begins to fall from this level marked at the red arrow? This also draws more sellers into the market; people don't want to miss out; then BOOM! Price breaks the level and wipes out everyone who shorted earlier. The banks know people place stops here. It is great liquidity for them to take then drive price further down. Think of it like this, if you could enter above the level with a sell order you are already getting a better entry price. Currently CHF and JPY are strong as they are safe haven currencies, so it is a good time to short commodity currencies against them. I'm in this trade. Results to follow.
STOP HUNTING- Institutional trading,beat the banks!. AUD/CAD-1hrAs we can see the black area indicates a potential zone where retail traders are tricked into going long by the illusion of fake support. Large institutions and experienced traders know most novices will have their stop losses just below this level. Institutions and banks manipulate these levels and take out stop losses to gain liquidity in the market. Once a stop hunt has occurred we enter a trade in the direction that we are fundamentally inclined to do so.
** SILVER UPTREND ** XAGUSD ** LONG **Since the start of this year silver prices have risen 10% versus the US dollar and 13% versus the Chinese yuan and the Indian rupee.
Despite the strong rise in silver prices, their overall performance has been rather disappointing.
Gold prices have considerably outperformed silver prices. As a result the gold/silver ratio has risen to new highs.
The deterioration on global growth and global trade has dampened silver prices however, recently there has been a catch-up.
Since mid-July there was a strong rise in silver prices, while gold prices barely moved. We think this was triggered by two developments. First, consumers in India wanted to buy silver before the new import tariffs became effective on 1 August. The import tariffs were raised from 10% to 12.5% for both gold and silver. Second, the gold/silver ratio moved to levels last seen in 1992.
This ratio has already been high for years but it was at extreme levels in mid-July, when the ratio hit 93, i.e. gold was 93x more expensive than silver. This looks to have been a clear opportunity to load up on silver.
Be the bunkerhunt BUY PHYSICAL SILVER and look to secure a long position with take profits set according.
“hard” Brexit & pound prepares for the worstGreat Britain expects “hard” Brexit. Jeremy Hunt and Boris Johnson faced off in leadership debate. The candidates were asked about the Irish border (which will become the only land border between the UK and the EU after Brexit). Both were clear that the issue will not be resolved with a positive outcome. The odds of No-deal Brexit are rising. Due to this, the pound treated with selling yesterday. Back
to status in employment on the UK labour market. The estimated employment rate : + 25K with a forecast + 45K. Requirements to receive unemployment compensation rose to + 38K (last month figure 24.5K). Brexit continues to be the main driver of everything that happens with the pound over the last couple of years. It's a buying opportunity as the pound price is low.
It is necessary to act without “fanaticism”. Recall, new UK prime minister will appear next week.
Negotiations are progressing well towards concluding an agreement between the US and China. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said he and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer may travel to Beijing for trade negotiations. US retail sales rose 0.4 per cent that is better than expected. However, we still do not plan to buy a dollar and we will continue to look for points for its sales in the foreign exchange market
Our trading recommendations for today: sell the dollar, oil and the Russian ruble. We buy safe-haven asset: gold and Japanese yen.
How Stop Hunts workQuick thoughts on recent price action.
Shows possible thought process of whales / market makers.
So for my Stop Loss settings, I ask myself:
-Where are everybody else's stops? (too much of a target)
-If I put my stop above/below, what happens to my Risk v Reward formula?
-If I can not my stop above/below, am I just asking to LOSE that stop?
