#WIF 1D. Ready to Jump? 11/25/24Among meme coins, #WIF is currently the most appealing. It's worth considering building a spot position and opening a swing trade in the $3.2 - $2.8 range (support level).
The support level is a price range where an asset has historically not fallen below and is expected to bounce back upward.
Personally, I look for opportunities to open positions when the market is volatile or after significant moves that could impact an asset's price in the future. But if you're trading (entering positions or buying on spot) only when everything is pumping, then panic-selling on every dip and/or being afraid to buy or enter trades—well, I pity you. You'll never make money this way. Trading is not for you! Quit this right now!
The nearest target for #WIF is $4.304, and we will absolutely reach it!
XAUUSDHello Trader; Gold is currently finding support at two key levels:
$2680
$2620
These levels are critical for traders looking to capitalize on price movements.
Effective trading, however, hinges not just on identifying support levels but on disciplined money management.
Taking on more risk requires a clear strategy, as success in trading is fundamentally tied to how well you manage your capital.
Will the Dollar Index Redefine Global Economic Equilibrium?In the intricate dance of international trade and geopolitical strategy, the Dollar Index emerges as a critical compass navigating the turbulent waters of economic uncertainty. The article illuminates how this financial barometer reflects the profound implications of proposed tariffs by the U.S. administration, revealing a complex interplay of currencies, trade relationships, and global market sentiments that extend far beyond mere numerical fluctuations.
The proposed tariffs targeting key trading partners like Canada, Mexico, and China represent more than economic policy—they are strategic maneuvers with potential seismic shifts in global trade dynamics. As the Dollar Index climbs, reflecting the U.S. dollar's strength, it simultaneously exposes the delicate balance of international economic relationships. The potential consequences ripple through supply chains, consumer markets, and diplomatic corridors, challenging the post-World War II trade paradigm and forcing nations to recalibrate their economic strategies in real time.
Beyond the immediate market reactions, these developments signal a broader philosophical question about economic sovereignty and interdependence. The tariff proposals challenge long-established multilateral agreements, potentially accelerating a transformation in how nations perceive economic collaboration. While the immediate impact is visible in currency fluctuations and market volatility, the long-term implications could reshape global economic architecture, prompting a reevaluation of the U.S. dollar's role as the predominant global reserve currency and testing the resilience of international trade networks.

#DOGE 1H. Sideways movement and potential entry point. 11/20/24Elon Musk continues to actively support and promote this cryptocurrency, mentioning it in various contexts (e.g., tweets, interviews, news, etc.), which can influence the coin's price.
After a sharp price increase (a strong impulse), I expect its value to stabilize and remain at the same level for some time (sideways movement, as we see now).
Personally, I will wait for the right moment to open a long position around $0.322, which is considered a key entry zone due to its high-volume level (many pending orders, strong buyer presence).
The Overlooked Indicator Outstanding SharesThe Overlooked Indicator: How Changes in Outstanding Shares Impact Long-Term Investments
When evaluating a company for long-term investment, most investors focus on familiar metrics such as revenue growth, earnings per share (EPS), and price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios. However, one crucial indicator often overlooked or misunderstood is the change in a company's outstanding shares over time. This variable plays a significant role in determining the market capitalization and, ultimately, the shareholder's stake in the company.
Understanding Outstanding Shares and Market Capitalization
Outstanding shares represent the total number of shares a company has issued and are held by all shareholders, including institutional investors, retail investors, and insiders. These shares are a key component in calculating a company’s market capitalization, which is simply:
Market Capitalization
=
Outstanding Shares
×
Share Price
Market Capitalization=Outstanding Shares×Share Price
While market capitalization is widely referenced, changes in outstanding shares are often neglected, even though they can significantly influence the per-share value of a company.
Issuing and Repurchasing Shares: A Tale of Two Strategies
Companies can increase or decrease the number of outstanding shares for various reasons:
Issuing New Shares: When companies issue additional shares, often to raise capital or fund growth initiatives, they dilute existing shareholders' ownership. This dilution can have a material impact on the value of each share, as the same company’s equity is now spread over a larger number of shares.
Share Buybacks: Conversely, when companies repurchase their own shares, they reduce the number of outstanding shares, effectively concentrating ownership among the remaining shareholders. This often boosts metrics like earnings per share (EPS), making the company appear more attractive to investors.
Case Study: Microsoft and MicroStrategy
To illustrate the impact of changes in outstanding shares, let’s examine two contrasting examples: Microsoft (MSFT) and MicroStrategy (MSTR).
Microsoft (MSFT): In 2020, Microsoft had 17.8 billion outstanding shares. By 2024, this number had been reduced to 15.2 billion—a 15% reduction. This significant buyback program demonstrates Microsoft’s commitment to returning value to shareholders. Reducing outstanding shares enhances per-share metrics and can indicate confidence in the company’s financial health and future.
MicroStrategy (MSTR): In stark contrast, MicroStrategy increased its outstanding shares from 100 million in 2020 to 197.2 million in 2024—a staggering 97% increase. This massive share issuance reflects a dilution of shareholder value. While the additional capital raised might have been used to fund growth or acquisitions, existing shareholders now own a smaller percentage of the company.
The accompanying charts vividly illustrate these trends, highlighting how these strategies can dramatically alter the ownership landscape over time.
Why This Matters for Long-Term Investors
As a long-term investor, it’s essential to look beyond surface-level metrics and consider how changes in outstanding shares affect your investment. For example:
Dilution Risk: A company that frequently issues new shares may struggle to generate sufficient internal capital, signaling potential financial challenges or aggressive expansion strategies that could dilute shareholder value.
Share Buybacks: While buybacks can enhance per-share metrics, they are not inherently positive. Investors should ensure the buybacks are funded by strong free cash flow rather than debt, which could jeopardize the company’s financial stability.
Impact on Valuation: Adjusting for changes in outstanding shares provides a more accurate picture of a company’s valuation and its ability to generate returns for shareholders.
Conclusion
Changes in outstanding shares are a critical but often overlooked factor in evaluating a company’s long-term potential. By understanding the implications of share issuance and buybacks, investors can make more informed decisions and avoid common pitfalls in their investment journey.
The examples of Microsoft and MicroStrategy serve as a reminder that not all changes in outstanding shares are created equal. For long-term investors, keeping an eye on this overlooked indicator can be the difference between a growing stake in a thriving company and an increasingly diluted piece of the pie.
#NFP. Win big or feel the pain! Analysis from 11/19/24Currently, the coin is in a sideways trend, where asset distribution is taking place. A breakout above the resistance level will indicate buyer strength and the potential for further growth. Exiting such accumulation zones, especially in this market, will most likely result in an upward impulse, so it makes sense to try and catch this movement.
However, if the $0.2350 level is lost, we will most likely head straight for a support test, after which we will have a clearer understanding of where the price is likely to move next (probably working from sales rather than purchases, as we are doing now).

Last Time XRPUSD Will Be Under $1! Raise the "Flags"!BITSTAMP:XRPUSD - Bull Flag Prediction
Based on lack of Volume and price falling into a Descending Channel.
The suspected Flagpole from the Low @ .4860 before the Rally to the current High @ 1.26541, suggest a potential 160% increase in price once a Bullish Break confirms the Bull Flag!
First, Price will make a Retracement to the 38.2% Fibonacci Level, testing the July 2023 Highs and the Support of the Descending Channel around .94 - .92 cents.
Added confluence is the Retracement would also be testing the 200 EMA since the appearance of Golden Cross across all Timeframes!
This could be the Last Time BITSTAMP:XRPUSD sees below $1!!
Rallies come in waves, if you missed the first, don't miss this one!!

My HIGHFIVESETUP Indicator in action on HIMS. Massive gains!My HIGHFIVESETUP Indicator in action on $HIMS. Massive gains!
Check out my HIGH-FIVE SETUP trading strategy indicator in action on NYSE:HIMS stock over the last two years!
Over 200% gains based on a $10k starting account.
- $10k into $31.5k+
- Almost a 90% accuracy based on the buys and sells.
- Almost 100% accuracy when we only buy off charting pattern breakouts and retests.
As most of my followers know, I've already been using my personal HIGHFIVESETUP trading strategy, and it's been very successful. So, to work smarter, not harder, I decided to create an indicator and trading strategy with my HIGHFIVESETUP to make my charts less cluttered and focus on fewer items.
I'm still backtesting across a wide variety of stocks to prove the success of my data-backed strategy. I'm also tweaking some of the script to make sure everything is how I want it, along with the backtesting and trading side of things.
What do you think about my HIGHFIVESETUP strategy and my new indicator?
XRP Short Term Price TargetIf you haven`t bought the dip on XRP:
Now you need to know that Ripple’s XRP is showing bullish potential, buoyed by its partial legal victory in July 2023. The court's ruling that only institutional sales of XRP were unregistered securities offerings, while programmatic sales to retail investors were not, has given the token a significant boost in confidence. This ruling marks a crucial milestone for Ripple, alleviating some of the regulatory uncertainty surrounding XRP in the retail market.
One factor that adds further optimism is the slow nature of the appeals process. With any higher court ruling unlikely before 2025 and a potential Supreme Court decision not expected until 2026 or beyond, Ripple has time to build momentum and solidify its market position.
From a technical perspective, XRP has been forming higher lows, suggesting a strong bullish trendline. With this upward momentum in play, I expect XRP to target $0.64 in the short term. As regulatory clarity continues to develop, XRP could be poised for further growth in the broader crypto landscape.
BTC Bitcoin Potential Retracement Soon If you haven`t bought BTC before the recent rally:
Now you need to know that Bitcoin’s meteoric rise to an all-time high of $93,434 has reignited excitement in the crypto markets. However, as the euphoria peaks, warning signs suggest that the king of cryptocurrencies might be due for a pullback. Currently trading at a Relative Strength Index (RSI) level of over 86—a threshold signaling overbought conditions—Bitcoin appears overstretched in the short term.
Historically, RSI readings above 70 often precede market corrections as buying momentum wanes and profit-taking sets in. While Bitcoin’s long-term fundamentals remain strong, its price trajectory has repeatedly shown susceptibility to sharp reversals after rapid ascents. A retracement to $80,000—a key psychological and technical support level—could provide a healthier foundation for Bitcoin’s next leg upward.
Traders and investors should remain cautious, especially as Bitcoin consolidates at overheated levels. A correction to $80K might not signal the end of the bull run but rather a necessary recalibration before the next rally.
