TSLA at the edge of it's seat!TSLA's price has spent the last week whiting a range between 817-942. The break of 817 on Friday came as the bulls exhausted gave way to Bears and rumors of War. TSLA began its upward rally on Monday and pushed forward above the 915 resistance/support. Will TSLA have enough to break the 950 resistance? And even then it should not be considered completely Bullish until it claims the 980 mark. The Bears might pile on the price if the see a clear rejection at 950 and if so they might be encouraged by the gap left behind on Tuesday premarket form 873-891. One thing is for sure as long as TSLA continues to trade sideways above 950 the Bulls can give themselves a brief pat in the back, below 950 the Bears remain in control with an opportunity to hold the position for sometime.

A small overview of #Bitcoin | Update for previous analysisI tried to briefly describe this situation. Formation in the form of a cup, or a decrease in price through a descending channel. At this time, in the short term, you can look for patterns in the short, because the candlestick analysis indicates the average weakness of the buyer. Given the structure of the market, you need to slightly reset the long positions, as well as give the opportunity to average the position for those who opened short yesterday at a price of 42000-41500. Thus, the belief in continued growth will disappear, and liquidity in bitcoin in a short position will become even greater. As in the previous analysis, I will only look for short positions when the price falls below the level of 41300 and stay there on the 4 and 8 hour timeframes. In the meantime, a local short, as indicated on the chart

BTC, Are The MM's Playing With Us?Hey guys, this has aged well so far. I am leaning towards a drop to the downside/lower resistance soon, or a quick pump then drop, we tapped into the 1h OB briefly and for sure we took out some short sell liquidity along with it, BUT I feel that is was a weak move up. But who knows. From a logical perspective there is a large amount of long liquidity between 33 and 35.5k so I would like to see a move down before we continue up to give me confidence we have reversed and there will be no more manipulation for the time being. Though, we will only know with time.

BTC Manipulation Zone, Don't Be Fooled!Hey guys, BTC 4h chart, a little more zoomed in so you guys can see what we can look to expect over the next couple of days. This is just an IDEA I am playing with based off MM's and Price Manipulation. We are currently in a range, and MM will be looking to get people to open shorts and longs within this range before doing a STOP HUNT/LIQUIDITY GRAB and then finding our true direction. We can see areas of interest for the liquidity grab, they are of course going to be the order blocks, which ones? We don't know, but we we will be able to see as its happening. They might decide to choose the 4hr or 1hr order blocks to return to, but we will only know by them taking out all the desired liquidity and not allowing the price to push past the OB of their choosing. This will be interesting to see how it will play out.

FALLING KNIVESHello everyone! Today I want to discuss with you the topic of trading against the trend. This occupation is extremely risky, while everyone wants to catch a reversal, because they can bring big profits. Why is it so dangerous to trade against the trend? We all know that the trend is our friend. And you should always remember that this friend is very strong. No one knows when the price will start to reverse, which means that if you decide to trade against the trend, you will most likely get stopped out. Therefore, trading against the trend was dubbed "CATCHING FALLING KNIVES" . Traders look at the history of price movement and it seems to them that it is easy to predict a reversal - there is a top, there is a pattern, but everything is not so simple. If you are more careful, you can find moments when the price formed peaks or patterns similar to a reversal, but there was no reversal. If you entered at such a moment against the trend, you would lose everything. Be careful! Most traders lose their money precisely because of such situations when a position is opened against the trend. This is the most dangerous occupation in Forex. You can see a lot of patterns and the price still won't reverse. Therefore, you need to analyze the whole picture as a whole, you should not rely only on patterns or indicators. Range trading When it is not clear who is stronger than the bulls or bears, that is, the market moves in a range, it is worth trading by setting small goals. And, of course, you need to trade from the levels. In range trading is carried out from level to level, there will be your goal. Range trading is harder than trend trading, but easier than counter trend trading. How to trade? The ideal situation for trading against the trend would be when, after a strong move, with large candles, a double top begins to form. A double top is a sign of a weak trend. In this case, the first vertex should not be far from the second. If the first peak is far away, then the price has reached the level. Trading from a strong level is a good idea. Here you will often see trend reversals. It is worth noting that the closer the two peaks are to each other, the stronger the sell signal. At the same time, it is worth remembering that this movement may just be a temporary correction. Do not overstay the position in anticipation of a big move. The ideal combination for entering against the trend would be the level and the formed pattern. You need to enter when the market has already reversed, that is, the second top is clearly visible on the chart. Exit Even if you entered perfectly, and the price goes where you need it for some time, you should not relax. Be aware that this may just be a correction of a previous big trend. At the slightest sign of a continuation of the previous trend, get out. It is better to take a little profit than to lose everything. If the price moves confidently enough, set a take profit according to your strategy. You can set a take profit 3 times the stop loss. Or, if you know how to hold positions correctly, you can put a stop loss at the next closest level. One good sign A candle with a long shadow is a very good sign. As a rule, after such a candle, the price goes in a different direction relative to the shadow. A long shadow means that the price passed the level, but failed to consolidate and went in the opposite direction. This is a sign of weakness in the trend and a good signal to trade in the opposite direction. conclusions Trading against the trend is the most dangerous, the most difficult thing. If you decide to trade against the trend, wait for the signals, do not rush. Watch the price very carefully, even if it goes in the direction you want. Over time, you will learn how to enter trades better and then trading against the trend will bring you more profit than losses. Traders, if you liked this idea or if you have your own opinion about it, write in the comments. I will be glad 👩

TOTAL CRYTOCAP: Wyckoff schematic #1 & #2Among most indexes across the globe I have spotted a variation of both wyckoff distribution schemes on the total cryptocap. As I said in my previous analysis; the markets have run hot and in no way market makers, early investors and whales would consider a scenario of WAGMI. Market makers in crypto have learned a tough lesson during 2018 when bear markets could run hot - even for them. Another 3 years of bots, algorithms and machine learning have made them the perfect liquidity (or better said: liquidation) hunters amongst any market in the globe. This is not only because of their "brilliance and analytics" but more so; because they have one of the few retail dominated markets. Every dip should either be bought or diamond handed and every pump even more so. In fact, it is the mentality of the counterpart that made market makers record profits during 2020 and 2021. The expectations nothing less than a record breaking year for more profit. The machine learning machines that act as intelligent liquidity miners at the fraction of the cost of a Bitcoin mining farm printed new results; the slow bleed. The slow bleed has ever showed to be the best returning strategy to contain the crypto enthousiast. Downtrends come with a few phases: Phase 1: flash corrections retracting "the floor" that upholds the price of a coin Phase 2: a quick absorption of liquidity through a cascade of liquidations and stops Phase 3: a fast vectorized return to a higher floor downplaying the actual floor by a huge wick Phase 5: the local uptrend creating new hope; "the bottom is in" Phase 6: the vectorized liquidity chop absorbing the liquidity up and down in the new zone Phase 7: the short squeeze; "WAGMI" Rinse and repeat. The downfall of the bull market itself are in fact the bulls themselves with overleveraged longs or calls, overplaying their hand without a hedge towards the opposite direction, the direction of the market maker. IMPORTANT: this is not financial advice, trade or invest based on your own risk and research.

MARKET MAKER MANIPULATIONHello everyone! Today I want to discuss with you a very interesting topic - the traps of market makers. Let's get started. Traps… How often did you encounter this - you opened a position, and why did the price go sharply against you, knocking out your stop loss, and as soon as your position was closed with a loss, the price turned around again and went where you expected? You analyzed your trades and did not understand what you did wrong. Actually, it's not your fault. You just fell into the trap of a market maker. These traps are created by large players in order to collect the stops of small market participants, thereby creating liquidity for opening or closing their large positions. What do traps look like? As a rule, traps are false level breakouts. It is in these places that small players place their stop orders and this will be the main goal of a large player. The first trap pattern is the classic Double Top pattern. Everyone knows from books that the second peak should be slightly lower than the first. So the market tells us that the price no longer has the strength to make new highs and it's time to fall. In fact, above the first peak, most traders place their stop losses, and large players push the price to them in order to activate orders and gain liquidity, after which the market reverses. The second trap situation is the trend. The trend is our friend! Everyone remembers and knows this. In addition, everyone remembers that the trend changes when the price, in a bear market, renews the previous high. After the new high, we believe that the trend has changed, but the price suddenly falls even lower and the downtrend resumes again, what happened? The big player knows that traders put their stop losses above the last high and that is why the price pushes higher, so liquidity gathers, after which the bear market continues. How to trade? We cannot find out the thoughts and desires of major players. The average trader should analyze the chart and try to act in the direction the market maker is pushing the price. Pay attention to false breakouts - these are strong signals. Seeing that the price has updated the maximum, and then turned around sharply, go short, so you will trade in the same direction with a major player. Also, remember that traps are usually characterized by candles with long tails. A long shadow will be a false breakout. Conclusions Trading traps is very difficult and at the beginning of the path you will fail. Study the market, try to understand how a big player thinks. When you learn, this strategy will bring you big profits. Good luck! Traders, if you liked this idea or if you have your own opinion about it, write in the comments. I will be glad 👩

BEST CROSS CURRENCY PAIR EUR/GBPNow the dollar is going through a turbulent time, and EURGBP will help us avoid problems related to the dollar, because the pair does not contain the main world currency. In addition, after Brexit, new interesting opportunities have opened up, which I will discuss below. Dollar Most traders choose to trade pairs in which there is a dollar due to the large liquidity. Liquidity is a trap for a trader, especially intraday traders, but beginners do not understand this. This liquidity is created by large players whose goal is to collect your stops and manipulate the market. Such a market is very difficult to predict and very often your positions will be closed by the stop. The only way out of this unfavorable situation is to trade cross-pairs. Cross-currency pairs There are 8 recognized major currencies of developed countries with stable economies. The fact that these currency pairs can interact with each other without the mediation of the dollar makes them so attractive and resistant to external news and stuffing from the United States. Cross-pairs, unlike dollar currency instruments, have the following advantages: A more unambiguous reaction to economic indicators; Limited (half-day) volatile trading period; The opportunity to calmly move positions through the night, as pairs react poorly to news from the United States; EURGBP Cross-pair The EURGBP cross-pair ranks first among the crosses in terms of transaction volumes. The EU and the UK are connected to each other geographically and politically, until 2020 it was a single union. In 2016, British citizens voted for the option of Britain exit, giving the world a new word "Brexit". After Brexit, the pair began to grow, giving a good opportunity for earnings. In addition, the EURGBP pair always reacts to problems in the global economy in the same way - with the growth of the euro, for the simple reason that the economy of the Union is larger than the economy of the island UK. The economic crises of the XXI century have raised the exchange rate of the pair to the same levels, which allows you to build countertrend strategies, as well as to fix profits in the interim. Best trading time The most active time of EURGBP trading is from 7 to 16 in London. A unique feature of EURGBP is a decrease in trading activity during the American session, which is explained by the absence of USD in the instrument. The day trader can afford not to sit waiting for the release of the Fed minutes and not to increase the stop loss before the publication of the NFP. How exactly to trade and what strategies to apply? The pair is characterized by a lower percentage of knocked-out stops, since the price does not make unexpected jumps, unlike the dollar. Thanks to this, you can trade using classic trend strategies. As a rule, the movement is most often unidirectional. That is, having opened positions in the right direction, you can safely keep it until the evening or put a take profit. The tactics of late entry, at about 10 o'clock in London, will help to weed out false breakouts. Daily trends after Brexit After Brexit, the pair gives very clear and understandable trends. You can even use a simple moving average to open good deals. The graph is literally "like in textbooks". It is unknown how long such a picture will last. Conclusion Cross-pairs are special currencies that can give a trader a number of advantages over other instruments. This situation arises because crosses are not interesting to large players, market makers work out technical trading on them without mega-fluctuations in liquidity and "hunting for stops". In general, EURGBP is a calm pair, suitable for beginners and still providing opportunities for trend trading on D1.

Like Clockwork - Tight another $2.30 the other way so farSo the hourly has just done a bunch of the stuff we were observing it may do. It went for more Green Vector candles below and when it took off from 77.8, it has gone and recovered the Red Vector candles above. So far it recovered the Red with Green so we entered swift shorts. All together, the long we allowed to run from 100122 NY session close Ran for $2.30 and we have enjoyed $0.50 and $0.70 on short scalps from 09:00-13:00 and in the current hourly candle. We are holding shorts until we get stopped out on minimum profit and looking to enter next longs when we see Blue or if it shows it is not going down for the other Greens that it failed to reach yesterday. Let's see what happens at the highs! This is not financial advice and should be taken with a pinch of salt

Bullish trend phases1) Use higher timeframes to determine the trend. Look for the entry point on smaller timeframes. 3) "Zone shift" is a price movement designed to accumulate and preserve volumes. In this phase, it is worth looking for entry points. 4) "Stop hunting" usually consists of three movements that occur in a short time. The minimum of the day serves as a signal point about where the reversal will occur. 2) The second zone shift serves as a profit-taking point. 5) The penetration of each accumulation zone is a potential entry point. 6) "Market maker spread" - the maximum and minimum of the initial channel. Usually this value is 25-50 points. ------------------------- Additionally: The time of termination of consolidation depends on the volume of HOD/LOD captured during the hunt. It's hard to determine. We don't know how long it will take a major player to take a position, and we don't know how much volume he needs. A) From time to time, the movement will be without consolidation, since the accumulated volume is too large, so a V-shaped bottom may form. B) The accumulation of volume always takes different time, so sometimes it will take more time to accumulate than usual. C) Accumulation may take longer, which is why a wide zone is formed, after which movement to the second stop (accumulation zone) will begin

DeGRAM | GOLD long after consolidation Gold after the breakdown of the upper border of the flat and testing of the long-range resistance is octaved to the savings border. But there is no downward impulse, most likely the price was kept, at the moment gold is trading in a long zone. If gold manages to gain a foothold above the 1800 level, then we can expect an increase to resistance ------------------- Share your opinion in the comments and support the idea with a like.
