GBP USD - Full analysis to the imbalanceHello traders and analysts,
GBP USD full breakdown technical analysis.
A note before reading - this is a forecast analysis - based upon Lupa Capitals trading strategy.
Please do not take this as face value and conduct individual entry points whether looking for long or short positions (time frame dependent).
Master Key:
Blue = Monthly
Purple = weekly
Orange = Daily
Grey = 4hour
Pink = 1 hour
Weekly and monthly imbalances combined
Price has moved from the monthly low of 1.1430 where price has immediately become oversold and an obvious imbalance has occurred here. The buyers imbalance has now taken over upon the Dollar strength - for it's position as a safe haven when looking at a fundamental view.
From here price has moved and closed between a newly created imbalance zone between 1.143 and 1.1980 - a huge imbalance but price has reached its double top for the DXY.
Weekly imbalances:
The cable had successfully stabilised within the zone above the imbalance over extension and has become bullish again completing a clear path to 1.35XX. The reason behind this is the imbalance has enough buying power within the next cycle to take price to the previous sell imbalance. However, the consolidation or breathing point for the cable can be marked between 1.308 to 1.32.
Daily imbalances
Look left to see where price has created "liquidity zones", these are the imbalances which match the weekly time frame so the candle using weekly and monthly for our structure shows, the long term selling imbalance is at 1.35XX. This area of imbalance had previously been tested by the bulls but maintained structure. However, price over the course of 847 days price has reached the imbalance four times, slowly but surely adding pressure to this 'swap zone'.
Here is the wider daily picture.
Daily Fibonacci - imbalance to test 50% daily zone for bullish run.
Imbalance view - using Fibonacci has been a great opportunity here for positional buyers to buy in.
The reason for this zone was important is the imbalance swing to a 50% retrace is clear on this pair where price looks to this pivot point more often than not. The second reason is due to the fact that the bullish momentum impact here caused a nice opportunity for the price to re-engineer a profit taking for sellers imbalance and convert to buyers.
Here is the current scenario, heading towards the extension -0.618 or 1.618 in extension Fibonacci terms.
GBP USD VS GBP Futures
both heading for the imbalance as the futures are aligning to the current market price.
See the previous update to our explanation to see further review tools and analysis takes:
Where will price take us from here?
The USD will continue to see a deepening soft dollar, which is what the US want right now to keep pushing the stocks into 2021 with cheaper import/exports as a major player. Furthermore a cheaper dollar will boost 2021 visitors to the US and see Gold rushed to as a hedge of inflation .
GBP we have a weekly zone the pound has now surpassed creating a good new daily demand to move further.
The monthly zone towards 1.50 as our target for a position buy. Before this zone on the daily to take us to 1.44 on our weekly zone.

Marketcycle
Bitcoin and the Market CycleThis is my attempt at applying Wyckoff's methodology to the BTC/USD price chart.
Wyckoff posits that, although price movement may appear random, it actually follows a repeating cycle that can be divided into four distinct phases: accumulation, mark-up, distribution, and decline.
Based on historical data, it appears as though BTC is in the early-to-mid mark-up phase of its third cycle. Coincidentally (or not), these cycles correlate with halving events (see Stock-2-Flow model).
My recommendation is to continue holding BTC through 2021, as I see much upside potential. Note that the risk-reward ratio is greatest in the distributionm phase, and smallest in the accumulation phase.
*Note that the final mark-up phase is extended by an arbitrary amount*
GBP JPY - long opportunityHello traders,
We are seeing on the GBP JPY 4 hour chart an opportunity to go long with a good 4hour trendline which is being respected.
Imbalance
4hr = grey
4hr = orange trendlines
daily = purple trendline
See the bigger picture and further analysis below;
Fundamentals at play.
With the successful Brexit transition and recovery from the Risk-off scenario from Brexit, the commodity hedge from Gold will not push higher. While the vaccination and cases remain a concern for the UKs long term success in the economy opening up, the GBP has been seen rising and looks set to continue with a target of 143 poised to be filled by the bulls.
XAU USD & GBP JPY are safe havens so expect the volatility within the pairs to remain strong as short term sentiment turns sour.

Warning!!! Bitcoin formed a bearish rising wedge!!! 🐻 sentimentThe bear sentiment it's so clear than water, but we see in H4 timeframe that Bitcoin it's not stable to bought contract. For that,I cancelled my position right now to closed up manually because we have the big possibility that Bitcoin goes to make a reversal of the trend. And that mean that it's great becuase we could to save USD to bought more cryptos to add in my portfolio. I thinking in it.
This it's my plan to sell below of $28,000 dollars in case that Bitcin doesn't support this price level. At the moment, I'm out of the crypto markets and I didn't reccomend to short or long Bitcoin, becuase we could to formed a mini-distributtion to find down a best price to bought!!!
We see in weekly chart that Bitcoin have 2 weeks bear sentiment and the trend could to experiment a possible reversal so near of the $20,000 USD above of this price. This it's my theory!!! But as Bitcoin it's so consolidate, I don't like to trade in this scenario when the assets it's into this consolidation.
For that, my own reccomendation it's still alert when Bitcoin mae the next movement when break up or down this consolidation in the range of %29,000 USD- $34,000 USD to take best decision!!!
Understanding Market Cycles and PhasesUsing Bitcoin as a example, in this idea i am going to briefly explain the concept of Market Phases in a easy to understand way.
Market Cycles & Phases
Cycles are prevalent in all aspects of life; they range from the very short-term, like the life cycle of a insect, some which can live a few days, to the life cycle of a planet, which takes billions of years.
All financial markets go through the same phases and are cyclical. They rise, top out, drop, and then bottom out. When one market cycle is finished, another begins.
The problem is that most investors and traders either fail to recognize that markets are cyclical or forget to expect the end of the current market phase.
There are 4 key phases in a Market Cycle:
1. Accumulation
The heavy buying phase before the uptrend begins.
2. Mark Up/ Re accumulation
Mark Up is the uptrend, Re accumulation phases are sideways pauses in the uptrend where more buying occurs before continuation of trend.
3. Distribution
The heavy selling phase before the downtrend begins.
4. Mark Down / Redistribution
Mark Down is the downtrend, Re distrubution phases are sideways pauses in the downtrend where more selling occurs before continuation of trend.
Trend
The dictionary definition of trend: *a general development or change in a situation or in the way that people are behaving. In financial markets the direction the price of a asset is moving is referred to as the trend.
Markets are made up of several different kinds of trends, and it is the recognition of these trends that will largely determine the success or failure of your long and short-term investing.
There are 3 key trends in Markets:
1. Bullish (upwards, buyers in control) (higher lows, higher highs (HL, HH)
The Mark Up phase is an uptrend or bullish trend.
2. Bearish (downwards, sellers in control) (lower highs, lower lows (LH, LL)
The Mark Down phase is an downtrend or bearish trend.
3. Consolidation /Sideways (sideways, direction & control undecided temporarily)
Re accumulation & Re distrubution phases are consolidation phases or "pauses" in the market before continuation of trend or reversal.
It is essential to understand Market Cycles, Phases & Trends, which are important behavioral characteristics of how price develops over time. By fully understanding these concepts and how one can identify them, a trader or investor can generate more opportunities, secure a longer term plan reducing stress levels, and potentially maximize profits.
Once a asset has already moved on from the Accumulation phase the next best buying opportunity is the Reaccumulation phase (marked in yellow) where price usually starts to zigzag in a sideways movement after a strong upwards movement. The Reaccumulation phase is where the price is usually "held down" by large transactions, while buyers fill positions, eventually the price can no longer be held down and we see the continuation of the Mark Up.

Euro still stable in the medium to long term!!!Looking this macroanalysis, in monthly timeframe we see that Euro still bullish maybe at $1.40 dollars.
So, this it's my own idea to look this popular par on Forex to know and I see that Euro still bullish.
But soon, I going to trade Forex to continue because in the last month I was so distinguided in cryptocurrency.
XRP Holders: XRP goes to $1 dollar soon!!!Waoh guys, we see that XRP still large bulish toward the $1 dollar. Are you interesting to take this trade and let's that XRP work for you!!! I want too!!!
Now, XRP it's so bullish and right now it's into this re-accumulation zone to continue bought!!! And also, using elliot wave analysis we are in the correction #4 in the end phase to then, see a strong impulse so bullish toward the $1 dollar.
So, if you looking the Daily chart, we are into this bullish rising wedge with huge potential to long so long position to earn a good money in medium term.
So guys, I see that XRP it's a brilliant opportunity to buy in these level and also make trading with XRP to long position!!!
So, t put a long posiiton in XRP in the market price with a SL at $0.40 cents toward the $1.10 USD, that it's my target profit trade in 3 Daily chart, the 3 Daily chart it's a chart to trade to medium term to long term to earn good profit!!!
So, guys, good luck in this position!!!
Overview: Perspective for bearish scenario!!!Hello guys, in this overview, I want to include a strategy to sell Bitcoin when Bitcoin reach up the $19k level. In that psycological zone, we would need to take decision.
So, I did analyze the 3 Daily chart and we touch this red zone in the RSI, that indicate sell inminent. Lets me to explain you that:
creating this function, I see that in the pass when in hte end of the bull rally on 2017 that was a important point in the RSI and price action near of $20,000 USD. As a second time Bitcoin touch the highly point in the RSI indicate sell that I remember in June 2019 that Bitcoin was around of $13,800 USD near of $14,000 USD, we have a correction ending the year 2019 with a cotization of $7,200 USD in December 2019. I remember that thing when Bitcoin make this correction in the past year.
And right now, we are in the same time to sell Bitcoin touching as third time, a inminent sell that we would need to see in Bitcoin.
Now in he weekly timeframe, we see the same situatin just using this timeframe and using the RSI to modify the points key, so, I see that we turn to bearish in the next days, just we would need to have a good decision to shorting Bitcoin, and also including the market hunters and manipulations that whales and institutionals make for traders amateurs to will be liquidated. That thing we would need in our hand if in case that Bitcoin it's above of $20,000 USD and break up this mark, we would see in any case possibile hunters here to bear scenario. But looking in my perspective. we have 2 correction if you apply the Fibonacci using the 0.382% and 0.618%. The value are $16,150 USD and $13,800 USD approimately looking these level to bought Bitcoin for discount.
now, remember that I'm in the trade in long time and I say you that maybe Bitcoin it's go back to the $19,500 USD and it's happen right now, the price in this moment it's around of $18,800 USD and we're in profit in Bitcoin and Ethereum. So, I hope that Bitcoin it's touch my target profit at $19,500 USD and later that Bitcoin make it. I will going to hope the Daily's candlestick to know where Bitcoin it's going on. And also, the Daily chart it's important for this case. So, I will still alert on the $19k levels if Bitcoin make any manipulation or good entry to shorting in these levels.
So guys, if you like this idea and plan, please get me a like,share this analysis with your friends, traders or people enghusiastic in the trading of cryptocurrency
Pay Attention on the chart: Bitcoin it's form a bullish signal!!Ok, at the moment, I trade over H4 timeframe. So, to discuss we see that Bitcoin formed 2 chartist pattern, the first chartist pattern it's the bearish channel and the second chartist pattern it's an ascendent triangle. both chartist apttern are indication that the trend it's still bullish.
Ok, at the moment as yesterday I entry around of $18,050 USD and today in the early in the New York time Bitcoin was down arounf of 3%, so it's so nearest that Bitcoin touch my SL, but at the moment my trade it's active for just $87 USD of distance of the SL at $17,550 USD. Waoh, but so incredible how the bulls are still the trend.
So guys, the only update for there was these chartist pattern and my target profit I will going to change a little mroe of $19,500 USD and I believe that Bitcoin needs to go up!!!
So, i didn't say that this scrreenshoot it's very well, but if Bitcoin it's into this ascendent triangle and then, break up, so this elliot wave analysis could be invalided and in this place it's will being the correction #4 of the this cycle to then watching a new impulse #5 toward the near of $23,000 USD.
So guys, we will continue update this par. Also, remember that you can to put a buy order limit in Ethereum, the price action it's confirmed!!!
BTC Market CyclesBased on this Market cycle map I am predicting that the bull run could last until May 2022.
It would make sense for the top to tag around 100k, but we definitely can ago alot higher.
I would think a 10x from the last high of 20k would make the most sense but an over shoot and push to around 240k to suck over confident bulls in before a new bear market starts and we pull back around 80% to around 35-40k
This is just an estimated based on previous market structure, anything could happen this cycle has we start to see real institutional money start to flow in with the key infrastructure for family offices and high net worth individuals to feel a lot more comfortable putting capital into BTC, and then the fomo begins....
GBP JPY - Shorts still in playHey traders, how are you going?
Here is our take on GBP JPY - a long term view.
The eyes - are sell targets
The eyes - are potential buy zones.
it depends on your outlook.
Why are we selling?
The reason is - over exposed buyers, the GBP is very week right now
Seeking trade deals and the weakening of the GBP is clever for the trade balance and promoting attraction for investment in the long run.
Price is expensive and volatile - during the election and huge interest in the previous months up to September.
The election is coming closer <45 days.
The S&P500 and NAS100, FTSE are not shown here but use reference for our previous ideas to show where price has reached our over exposed markers.
Entering a bear market - the Yen will see sudden surging in strength which is why our outlook is to March lows.

AUD USD - short trade still in play. Same description as previous - as it still stands.
We have our sells activated - the reason behind this is looking on the weekly timeframe - the wicks have been removed by the recent candle closes on the daily.
Trade 1 has been taken,
Trade 2 - un-activated - as price may attempt to settle around 72. XX
Upcoming
We will share our new analysis for DAX30 soon.
We cannot see a specific level holding for the future.
Why are we selling?
Aussie budget looked to really help alot of average Australians, but failing for Queensland to open to NSW and Tassie, WA for freedom of complete movement will be damaging as Summer season comes.
Stimulus is provided but Scomo's government is worried about the deficit.
USD side:
Price is volatile - during the election process in the US, the worlds relationships are affected
The election is coming closer <30 days.
The S&P500 and NAS100 are not shown here but use reference for our previous ideas to show where price has reached our over exposed markers.
The stocks have recovered well from a V - shaped recovery, too fast with big price action gaps.
Dollar is strengthening.
Shift in presidential change of power?
Covid 19 - second wave has concerned EU governments - with further pumping of money to "control" the costs of job losses and curb closures.
We have established a great supply or essentially a strongly overvalued market again in quick succession, however price will be giving some good areas to sell this aligns with Commodity currencies like the Aussie.
This is a long term sell. price can and will invalidate.

Netflix correctional moveHello traders and analysts,
Here is a view of Netflix, while alot of people are currently restricted to access in the outside world, content is being pushed to online platforms but without an abundance of new content to be completed and provided - re-runs and previous fan favourites will suffice? or will it?
Will people scale back on entertainment where people may have lost their jobs or look for an alternate source? e.g. streaming, youtube etc.
The chart shows us:
Maxed out weekly, monthly tops
We are now in a weekly trading range - but price has shown a gap formation which has been added to outflows with the Nas100 outflows also.
With the election looming - it is a good opportunity here to take profits and cover profits with short positions
Trade:
We will look for the least path of resistance when trading, meaning the highest probability the price shows a sign of falling.
Keep in mind both scenarios
1. - buy from $440 correction
2. sell to $360 zone
3. Sell to $440 and buy in - with confirmation this structure will not break..

Updates: Bitcoin formed a simetric triangle flag!!! Good signalWe're in Bitcoin from Friday and Bitcoin is prepare to a up movement!!! So, investor are buying in this simetric triangle of re-accumulation!!!
As we are in consolidation and re-accumulation in this zone, Bitcoin is prepared to a bullish movement!!! So, I believe that it's arukk a good signal to continue buy more Bitcoin. But, as I have 0.06 lots inverted between these 2 trade, I just trade with 0.06 lots that i still open up these posiiton one from Friday and one from yesterday.
And also, guys, we're forming a elliot wave analysis using this model that I am to prepared for you to understand in the cycle of trend. Remember that my own target is $12,000 USD.
We're in profit in our first trade of Friday protecting our long position and then, our second position is in profit, so at the moment, the break even it's keep in this zone until we see any updated for tomorrow or the next days!!!
Good luck on this position!!!
DXY Strength for 2020/ 2021Hello traders, analysts.
Here is our take on the DXY - referring to the Dollar strength index - which relates to consumer confidence within the United states.
While our charts show less about how the fundamental side affects the setups - the purpose of our view is to show while yes;
The election
coronvirus - now affecting Trump directly.
Trade stalemate with China
US stimulus
Internal race division
as well as globalisation,
US intermediating new Middle east issues.
All of which hang in the balance - but can be used to solidify the position held.
We have our target for Long positions with long positions only - with take profit around 99 price level
for those trading short-term and intraday forex trading strategies, ofcourse sells are possible.
There is a lot of room for the Dollar Index to keep on rallying and will be into 2021 before we see a profit target hit.
There is nothing to prevent the Dollar Index from the bullish movements. So long as the higher highs are maintained .
The eyes - are sell targets
The eyes - are potential buy zones.
it depends on your outlook.
