When Platform Position Style Trades Go Momentum: FTAIThis platform position-style trade is starting to shift to a momentum or swing-style trade, which happens frequently with platforming trends. Above is a daily chart so you can see the shifting daily patterns from platforming to momentum.
The angle of ascent is getting steeper, which is best seen on a weekly chart, below. If you are holding this stock or others similar to this trend, it is time to shift gears to watch for speculative trading and other risk factors.
At some point the angle of ascent will be too steep to sustain the uptrend and you will need to plan how to manage the trade: take profits or hold? Is there potential for longer-term growth? If so, a profit stop must leave ample room for the stock to adjust out the big gains.

GBPUSD - bullish momentum Hello traders! We can finally see a shift in the momentum of GBPUSD, after a bearish year. The pair seems to create a nice impulse upwards on daily timeframe, and we can be looking for an entry after the price breaks the resistance on 4H. All the indicators that I use indicate a bullish move, the price is above EMAs, retesting them, the moving averages also indicate a buy, and the MACD line is above 0. Moreover, COT data shows an increase in the strength of GBP compared to USD.
It looks like a potential good setup, but first let's wait in order to see if the price manages to break above the resistance! OANDA:GBPUSD
LTC/BTC - 1D Support + Trend LineSince mid June 2022 LTC has been steadingly increasing in sats value and from the start of November it has been increasing at a much greater pace. Big caps have started to move and are generally a precursor for more volaitlity incoming into other mid to small caps. BTC can still fall so this could take the momentum out of its rise however it would descend slower and will take a while longer to reach its lows like it did in June
GBPJPY Daily TF analysisAs analysed last week. GJ painted a massive double bottom and broke the high structures to the left. I thought that price would pull all the way down for a retest before pushing back up to continue the double bottom pattern. As we know price doesnt move in 1 direction indefinitely, so we always get a pullback. But if momentum is strong enough price doesnt always pull back as hard as we expect, before moving in momentum again.
So as it stands, GJ is in a bullish pattern, with possible intraday sells, if the conditions are right, however, everything points towards a long term buy. When we go to the weekly chart, we are also in a very strong bullish momentum, so trade with caution
Bitcoin price leveling outUsing Bollinger bands with momentum on the 1 hour and 4 hour time frames for dollar cost averaging, it seems that Bitcoin is beginning to level out and stabilize in price action.
This could be the bottom of this downward trend we have seen since the middle of November of 2021, however, I believe caution needs to be used and careful planning. Based upon the market's recent events of unpredictability and unstable volatility, I believe dollar cost averaging is the best approach over the long term in dealing with this unusual market while protecting your investment.
Whether or not this trend continues, it really doesn't matter as this is a good middle range point to pick up a few more positions in it for either a nice little profit if the market does rise, or a stable accumulation point for a continued downtrend.
The only thing that is really clear at the moment, is that the market is at a pivotal point. Risk mitigation and budget management skills are a requirement as this really could go either way.
SPAQ selling climax I'm using the ROC indicator w/ BB to measure statistically unique price changes. Impulses and retracements can end with climatic moves, quick large moves signaling exhaustion. A swing high or swing low may form after this kind of price movement. Using SPAQ for a couple of examples. Example 1 shows a climatic top produced by the large gap up far away from the swing lows. After that, the buyers were exhausted and price has since pulled back. Example 2 shows a possible climatic bottom, though we won't know until it is. Todays daily candle is the largest red candle, far from the swing high put in Sept.15th. This large red candle may represent panic selling within what looks to be a retracement and could be signaling the end is near.
Have you ever bought something, held and held and held as it moves against you and then one day when it really starts to move against you your impulses become so strong you exit only to see that in a few days you had sold the bottom? I have, and maybe those who have as well can start to learn how to see that happening to others using the charts :). Sometimes we must live THEN learn haha. Watching for a swing low to form.
BTC vs. USD confirmed support above long-term trendline.BTC retested the white long-term trendline and confirmed support, which is a very bullish sign.
Note that the daily TD-seq is approaching a 9 though. Expecting a short term (probably minor) reversal to retest the 10429 USD VPVR line.
Green Ichicloud supporting "cushion" ascending higher and appears to be in the process of broadening.
PRISM had registered a bullish reveral as well, and the acceleration/jerk (AJ) ribbon is now curving upwards.
Looking at the 3 hourly:
Price will need to break up above the thick orange 200 SMA to confirm bullishness.
Green Ichicloud have recently formed.
AJ-Ribbon looks like it is in the process of curving upwards (awaiting confirmation -- i.e. when the thick-lime snap-oscillator crosses above the thin-red acceleration-oscillator)
