Ichimoku Cloud

BTCUSD Targets of Completed ABCD Pattern and Descending Channel Price has completed a perfect AB=CD pattern and is now retracing in a descending channel (Bullish bias). Also note how the 61,8 fib of CD leg touch the B point nicely. The major support and first target of the ABCD pattern, is the 38,2 fib of CD leg, which stands at approximately 49200, which is in confluence with the lower channel and the cloud in the next few days. Price might want to reach this level before bulls step in and we can se a shift in momentum to the upside. First resistance of now stands at the upper chanel. If price close and hold above the channel, chances are good that we will see a retest of the ATH, and likely a continuation of the upward move. If price close and hold below the 38,2 fib at 49200, chances are we will see price shift trend to neutral and enter the cloud with target at the low end of the cloud and ultimately the 61,8 fib of the CD leg at approx. 41500. Also note (the fib drawn at the far right) how the 61,8 fib of the whole ABCD pattern coincides with the 61,8 fib of the CD leg at 42000, which brings this level to be the ultimate support zone for a deep retracement of the ABCD pattern.

An intraday trade zone on USDCAD using standard deviationI calculate the zone by using implied volatility from the futures to solve for a one standard deviation price range. Then multiply that by 1.5 for the bottom and .75 for the top of the zone. To pick direction I simply use the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo. When the price is above the kumo I'm short, when its below the kumo I'm long. The success rate should hover around 50% but you'll find that your average wins is normally bigger than your average losses. I close it at the end of the New York session.
