Long term holding, hedge fund manipulation detectedIt is part of the sell-out part from the RA Capital group. Derek DiRocco from RA Capital Group stepped down from the Board and in that part, this led to the SEC filing showing RA just sold 1 million shares (label in red circle). The RA capital group still has a lot left to sell but it seems they are withdrawing from the company. The next guy coming up is Kan Chen who is from Qiming Venture. The Qiming Venture has a similar size compared to RA Capital but it shows the influence of China over the CNTB company decision. The CNTB initially was thought to be focused on the China market with their CBP-201, but after the Simcere contract, it seems that they would be the spear targeting the US market running under the China influence. This does not sit well with many US investing companies which led to mass selling from the US Venture Capital company. Still, besides the complicated politics, CNTB is a good buy for under $7 because it has good results and a very bright future if its products hit the market after phase 3. It is a long-term holding (5 years). Eventually, after their products make a profit and hit the market, their market cap would be huge, unless they file bankruptcy due to poor decisions from voting or anything else. That is often not how Chinese companies run so it would be a long-term investment. I think CNTB is among the top 20 biotech stocks for startups. This is not financial advice and please be responsible for your own investment decision!

EURJPY Comment downGeopolitical influences do not play a role in sustainably subsidizing the Yen. Yesterday the USD/JPY exchange rate once again approached the observation level of 150; Specifically, it reached 149.74, then decreased slightly back to 149.56. The Yen has recently been fluctuating around the observation threshold, currency investors in the market are still observing the actions of the Japanese Government. While many investors are still observing the market, many others determine that the Japanese Yen is in its 'weakest' stage and is 'bottom-fishing' for the Yen.

📈📊 Detecting Liquidity: Pivot Points and Trading ReversalsGreetings, fellow traders! Today, let's delve into the fascinating world of liquidity, pivot points, and how they can be essential elements in your trading strategy. Understanding the relationship between these factors can provide you with valuable insights into potential price reversals and market sentiment. 💡📈 🤔 What is Liquidity? Liquidity refers to how easily and quickly an asset can be bought or sold without significantly affecting its price. In the context of trading, liquidity often clusters at specific price levels, creating zones where many orders are concentrated. These zones can act as critical points of interest for traders. 🔄 Pivot Points and Liquidity: Pivot points are technical indicators calculated from previous price data, typically using the high, low, and close prices. They provide potential support and resistance levels, but they also reveal where liquidity might accumulate. 🔍 Liquidity Pools: Liquidity often pools around pivot points, creating liquidity pools. These pools represent price levels where a large number of buy and sell orders are clustered. Traders pay close attention to these levels as they can signal significant price reactions. 🚀 Trading Liquidity and Reversals: Here's how you can leverage liquidity and pivot points in your trading strategy: Identify Pivot Points: Use technical analysis tools to identify pivot points on your chart. There are various pivot point calculation methods, such as Standard, Fibonacci, or Camarilla. Choose the one that aligns with your trading style. Focus on Confluence: Look for confluence between pivot points and other technical indicators, such as trendlines, moving averages, or RSI. When multiple factors align at a specific price level, it strengthens the significance of that level. Observe Liquidity Zones: Pay attention to areas where liquidity is concentrated. These zones can act as magnets for price action. When price approaches a liquidity pool, it's more likely to experience significant movement. Spotting Reversal Signals: Reversals often occur near pivot points, especially if there's a confluence of factors. Look for candlestick patterns, divergence in oscillators, or other reversal signals to confirm a potential change in trend direction. Risk Management: Always implement proper risk management strategies. Set stop-loss orders to limit potential losses if the market moves against your position. 🌐 Conclusion: Understanding liquidity and pivot points can provide you with a unique perspective on market dynamics. By identifying liquidity pools and watching for reversal signals around pivot points, you can make more informed trading decisions. However, remember that no strategy is foolproof, and risk management is paramount. Keep refining your skills and adapt to ever-changing market conditions. 🔄📈

Understanding How Forced Liquidations / Stop Hunts are DesignedIn this write up I will explain how we can extrapolate our knowledge of stop loss orders to understand the automatic execution of what are known as forced liquidations or stop hunts. We will understand the mechanics of how Bitcoin can achieve such speed of movement and how to predict these events by reading the charts with a unique perspective of pre-design of these events. Our first goal with viewing the Bitcoin chart is to remain objective and without personal bias. We should have no emotional attachment or opinion when it comes to trading and asset effectively. Due to the lack of regulations in the crypto market and our knowledge of for-profit ventures benefiting off the liquidations of traders positions, we can strive to align ourselves with these forces so long as we decide to actively trade this market. We can begin by understanding what drives Bitcoins price up and down. Unlike equities that have relational value to real world output via job creation, product sales, infrastructure, P&L reports, etc - Bitcoin is in a different class of assets lacking intrinsic value and belong to what I like to call “perceived value assets”. This means the evaluation of price is based on an agreed upon value, defined only by liquidity flowing into and out of the asset. This creates the “volatile” nature you hear about in crypto assets. Prices are very fluid and move up and down extraordinarily fast at specific times that may seem random. The executable actions that impact the price is the fulfillment of orders; buys and sells. Where things get interesting is in understanding stop loss orders and their accumulation. Stop losses are effectively limit orders that reverse the position of traders by returning liquidity into the Bitcoin market cap or by pulling it out of the market cap; depending if the stop loss is for a LONG or SHORT. While it may be hard to grasp how the futures market has a direct effect on Bitcoins price, we must understand that in futures we are simply instructing Market Makers what to do with their assets by borrowing the leverage to our margin and in effect they will sell or buy Bitcoin. The stop losses of these trades are the direct opposition and not only is it in the Market Makers interest to ensure you aren’t taking money from them, attacking the stop losses and liquidations of your trades has a factual benefit to both the exchanges and market makers who collect your position margin once liquidation level is hit. Understanding this we can look at the bitcoin chart and make sense of accumulation of stop loss orders; shown here in my boxes (green are buy orders / short stops, red are sell orders / long stops). We can gauge for ourselves the amount of stop losses accumulated and predict the speed of bitcoins movement and clear interest in setting up a two way liquidation. Now why would a two way liquidation of such magnitude occur? The answer is to do with the US Dollar just underneath a major bearish retest on the 3 month chart. An entry into a bull market is would be a key time to execute a dramatic liquidation on Bitcoins chart, as we see here there is a chain reaction ready to hit both the top and bottom level I have marked. As the stop loss orders are hit, there is accumulating power sent into the next level, which creates exponential speed of movement and this is what we like to call “stop hunts”. Hopefully this article is helpful and allows you to understand how we can decipher the chart in a way that allows us to forecast out these movements and ideally prove that these “unpredictable” movements are in fact quite predictable after all. - Dick Dandy
