Pfizer: Oh Buyer Where Art Thou?Pfizer has struggled for years, and some traders may see risk of further downside. The first pattern on today’s chart is the slide to a new 12-year low in October and November. The drugmaker barely retraced half that move at subsequent highs. It also remained mostly below its October low of $26.87. That may suggest old support has become new resistance. Second is PFE’s price action at its 100-day simple moving average (SMA). It fell sharply after breaking that SMA in October and now seems to be stalling at the same line. (See white arrows.) That may reflect a longer-term downtrend. Third, $25.53 was the weekly close in mid-February. It provided support earlier this month, but yesterday the stock returned to the same level. Could that trigger a breakdown? Next, the 50-day SMA had a “death cross” under the 200-day SMA in late November. The 100-day SMA followed in December. The resulting alignment, with faster SMAs under slower ones, is potentially consistent with a downtrend. Finally, PFE is an active underlier in the options market. (TradeStation data shows it ranking 13th in the S&P 500 in the last month, averaging about 110,000 contacts per day.) That could make it easier to position for moves with calls and puts.

FART/USDTSEED_WANDERIN_JIMZIP900:FART Cup and Handle on 1D chart! 🔥 ✅ The cup is nicely rounded - a sign of bullish accumulation. ✅ Neckline around 0.5561-0.6119 (V-WVWAP) - price is hitting resistance here. ✅ Volume is increasing during the breakout attempt - which is a positive signal. ✅ Possible "eye" - price may correct back to support before further growth. Targets: 🔹 Cup height measurement: Bottom around 0.3194, neckline 0.5561, gap ~0.2367. 🔹 Target level: 0.5561 + 0.2367 = ~0.7928 (possible bull target on patterning confirmation). 🔹 Fib levels may help - I see first resistance around 0.6176. How to play it? 📌 Ideal entry: after a pullback to neckline (retest) or during a confirmed breakout with volume. 📌 Stop-loss: Below the last low of the neckline or below the neckline if it becomes support. 📌 Confirmation. Overall, the pattern looks very bullish, but the reaction to 0.5561-0.6119 will be important. If it fails there, the ears may go lower.

Reddit Has Pulled BackReddit hit a record high early last month. Will some traders see an opportunity in the current pullback? The first pattern on today’s chart is the bullish gap on October 30 after earnings beat estimates. RDDT approached the low of that session on March 10 and again last week. It bounced both times. That apparent double bottom may suggest new support has been established. Next, the rebounds occurred around the 200-day simple moving average. Holding that line may suggest an uptrend is in place. Finally, stochastics have turned up from an oversold condition. The stock also closed above its 8-day exponential moving average. Those patterns are potentially consistent with prices bottoming.

Bitcoin on Breakdown Alert as Rising Wedge FormsBitcoin traders should be alert to the risk of renewed downside with the price forming a rising wedge pattern that often signals weakness ahead. While it's holding for now, the narrowing range suggests price momentum is fading, increasing the risk of a breakdown. If the signal proves accurate, traders could establish shorts beneath wedge support with a stop above for protection. The obvious target would be the key 200DMA where the price bounced strongly from on March 11. RSI (14) and MACD are both grinding higher, reinforcing the need to see a bearish price signal first before considering the trade. Good luck! DS

AUD/JPY Bulls Take Aim at Key Downtrend ResistanceDowntrend resistance that has thwarted AUD/JPY bulls since November is under attack on Tuesday following the completion of a three-candle morning star pattern. The bullish signal increases the probability of a retest of the equally formidable 50-day moving average, especially with momentum indicators like RSI (14) and MACD skewing higher. A decisive break of the downtrend creates a setup where longs could be established above with a stop beneath for protection. The 50-day moving average is the key hurdle for bulls to overcome, with a break of that opening the path for a run towards 96.00 or even the February high of 97.33. Should the move fail at the 50DMA, the trade could be nixed or even reversed. If the price fails to break the downtrend, the bullish setup would be invalidated. Good luck! DS

BTC IMF Tracking, Liquidation Frenzy, and Market PredictionsBitcoin's recent price action has been a rollercoaster, marked by significant gains, dramatic liquidations, and a confluence of macroeconomic factors that are shaping its trajectory. From the International Monetary Fund (IMF) officially tracking Bitcoin in cross-border finance to speculative predictions of a potential $87,000 surge, the cryptocurrency remains a focal point of intense market scrutiny. One of the most noteworthy developments is the IMF's increasing recognition of Bitcoin's role in global finance. While the IMF previously issued warnings to El Salvador regarding its Bitcoin adoption, its decision to now track Bitcoin in cross-border financial flows signals a tacit acknowledgment of the cryptocurrency's growing significance. This shift reflects a broader trend of institutions grappling with the reality of digital assets, forcing them to incorporate these assets into their analytical frameworks. Simultaneously, the Bitcoin market has witnessed a surge towards the $87,000 mark, triggering a wave of short liquidations. This phenomenon occurs when traders who have bet against Bitcoin's price are forced to close their positions at a loss as the price rises. The sheer magnitude of these liquidations, exceeding $110 million in a short period, underscores the volatility and the inherent risks associated with leveraged trading in the cryptocurrency market. The total market liquidations surpassing $200,000 in 24 hours only highlights the dramatic price swings and the vulnerability of short positions. Adding to the complexity of the market dynamics is the emergence of another CME gap in the $84,000–$85,000 range. Historically, these gaps, which represent discrepancies between trading prices on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and other exchanges, tend to be filled, suggesting a potential pullback in Bitcoin's price. This pattern creates a sense of uncertainty, with traders weighing the potential for further gains against the possibility of a corrective downturn. Furthermore, the surge in Bitcoin open future bets on Binance, with an increase of $600 million, indicates heightened price volatility. Open interest, which measures the total number of outstanding futures contracts, often correlates with price movements. A rise in open interest alongside a price increase typically confirms an uptrend, but it also signals the potential for sharp price swings as more capital enters the market. Market analysts are divided on Bitcoin's future trajectory. Some predict a "brutal bleed lower," while others foresee a break towards new all-time highs in the second quarter. The critical level to watch is $93,000. If Bitcoin can reclaim this level as support, it would significantly reduce the risk of a fresh collapse. However, until this threshold is breached, the market remains vulnerable to downward pressure. On a more positive note, the S&P 500's reclamation of its 200-day moving average provides a potential tailwind for Bitcoin. This technical breakout in equities, coupled with similar signals in the cryptocurrency market, could indicate renewed bullish momentum. The correlation between traditional financial markets and Bitcoin has become increasingly apparent, with positive developments in equities often translating to positive sentiment in the crypto space. Adding another layer to the narrative is the potential softening of the stance on reciprocal tariffs by Donald Trump. Some analysts see this development as a potential catalyst for a Bitcoin bottom. Any relaxation of trade tensions could boost investor confidence and create a more favorable environment for risk assets, including cryptocurrencies. Finally, the concept of tokenized US gold reserves, as proposed by NYDIG, presents an intriguing long-term prospect for Bitcoin. While gold and Bitcoin are fundamentally different assets, the tokenization of gold on a blockchain could enhance the overall legitimacy and infrastructure of digital assets. This increased institutional acceptance could indirectly benefit Bitcoin by further integrating blockchain technology into mainstream finance. In conclusion, Bitcoin's current market landscape is characterized by a blend of institutional recognition, intense trading activity, and speculative predictions. The IMF's tracking of Bitcoin in cross-border finance underscores its growing relevance, while the liquidation frenzy and CME gap highlight the inherent volatility of the cryptocurrency market. The interplay of macroeconomic factors, technical indicators, and speculative sentiment will continue to shape Bitcoin's trajectory, making it a fascinating asset to watch in the coming months.
