Moving Averages
SLM Volatility contraction bar entry& Median Line ExitAfter a month of sideways price action over the turn of the year, we get a new price high on the on the back of poor earnings. Price held and a low volume narrow range bar shows up. I would expect there should be more selling here but minor volume day. Take a long but stopped a few days later.
However price comes back in early Feb after holding the 50EMA.
Try another squat bar buy stop entry.
Price target the ML as Dr. Andrews says, "Price makes it to the median line 80% of the time".
$INDEX:BTCUSD Action Potential? End of Day decisionINDEX:BTCUSD We see BTC continue to eat people trying to long this market based on low timeframes.
BTC is currently in an uptrend on the micro but overall there is a bearish cloud that continues combatting all growth
I believe this is artificial and tonight's close below the sup/res area at 95,500 will see another test 0f the support trend line.
if that breaks and cannot set new highs above the flipped sup/res trend that should open the way for a crawl towards 200EMA
EURUSD Hits Resistances—Reversal Incoming?As I expected in the previous post , the EURUSD( FX:EURUSD ) touched my Targets and is creating the second top of the ascending channel.
The EURUSD is in the Resistance zone($1.0537-$1.04500) , Potential Reversal Zone(PRZ) , Resistance lines , and Time Reversal Zone(TRZ) near the Monthly Resistance(1) and the upper line of the ascending channel.
In terms of Elliott wave theory , EURUSD seems to be completing microwave 5 of the main wave C of the Zigzag Correction(ABC/5-3-5) .
I expect the EURUSD to start falling soon, and it is likely to form a Head and Shoulders Pattern to continue the decline.
Note: If EURUSD touches $1.055, we can expect more pumps.

Gold Price: Targeting $3,000Gold remains at the center of attention as one of the most attractive safe-haven assets, extending its bullish rally for the second consecutive session and trading near its all-time high of around $2,940 per ounce. This performance is particularly noteworthy considering it has occurred despite the rebound in the U.S. dollar and the rise in Treasury yields, with the 10-year benchmark seemingly finding support around the 4.5% level. The decline of over 20 basis points from last week’s peak has provided support to investors, fueling appetite for the precious metal.
As trade uncertainty persists and geopolitical tensions remain unresolved, gold shines as a barometer of market caution. The recent Trump administration measures on reciprocal tariffs—which, if implemented, could impact more than 17,000 products—keep market participants on edge. If these measures remain pending final implementation, the possibility of them coming into effect reinforces global anxiety, driving demand for traditional safe-haven assets like gold.
Meanwhile, the possibility of progress in peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine offers a glimpse of lower global volatility in the future. However, skepticism remains regarding the initial exclusion of Ukraine and Europe from the discussions, which could delay any definitive resolution. Thus, geopolitical tension remains a key factor supporting gold prices.
Additionally, Federal Reserve monetary policy acts as a counterbalance. Comments from some Fed officials suggest caution regarding potential rate cuts, as inflationary pressures persist.
In the short term, attention is focused on the next psychological barrier of $3,000 per ounce. If the upward pressure and demand for defensive assets continue, gold could solidify its hold on this key threshold. The precious metal is on its way to becoming the market’s protagonist if volatility persists. With eyes on the evolution of U.S. trade policy and the development of international negotiations, gold is positioning itself as the ultimate safe-haven asset in this global risk environment.

NVDA: FREMA Linear Extensions - Horizontal VS DirectionalFREMA bands offer a dynamic edge over traditional ATR-based volatility bands by adapting to real buying and selling pressure (bullish and bearish part of candles) rather than just price movement. Unlike ATR bands, which expand symmetrically based on historical volatility, FREMA bands widen asymmetrically — expanding more on the upside during strong buying pressure and on the downside when selling dominates. This makes them highly effective for identifying momentum early, spotting true breakouts, and distinguishing strong trends from choppy markets. By responding directly to market psychology, they provide superior trade entries and exits, minimizing noise in ranging conditions while highlighting areas of genuine demand and supply shifts. For traders seeking a more responsive, trend-sensitive tool, FREMA bands deliver a clearer picture of market dynamics compared to conventional volatility indicators.
RESEARCH
Testing how price behaves within 2 types of linear extensions:
Horizontal
While giving an impression of being static, they're actually based on FREMA which is dynamic.
Use Horizontal Levels when expecting price to respect historical support/resistance, especially in sideways or mean-reverting markets.
Directional
Gives an immediate clue of being adaptable to the general angle of trend.
Use Linear Extensions when trading with momentum or trend continuation, as they adapt to market directionality.
Will price respect the static balance of past support and resistance, or will momentum dictate its own path along the trajectory of directional expansion? By tracking price interactions with both projections, we’ll uncover which model best maps the market’s intentions, offering valuable insights for future setups.
Stay tuned as we register these behaviors in real-time because once the market chooses its guide, the next move could be crystal clear.
SOL Biggest Bargain Buy Opp at 50WMAI wrote my thesis on Solana in July 2023 when it was at $25 and memecoins weren't even a thought.
No one even knew what BONK was, but the developer community was thriving, and all the best dApps were being built there.
Now that people are tired of rinsing themselves clean at the casino, it's funny to see them call CRYPTOCAP:SOL ded ~$180💀
SOL is up 625% since I first wrote about it 😂
The blockchain has tremendously improved in every metric, with a plethora of new advancements on the near horizon, including Firedancer 🔥
Buying SOL here at the 50WMA is an absolute gift.
Target is still, and always will be $700-850 within the next 9 months.
BNX Breakdown: The Next Trade SetupBNX has recently been testing a key resistance zone around the $1 level. After hitting the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement at $1.10, the market shifted into a downtrend. Let's analyse where our next trade opportunity might arise.
Market Structure & Confluence Zones
$1 to $1.1: BNX encountered robust resistance between $1 and $1.1, where the 0.618 Fib retracement aligns perfectly with the fib speed fan (0.618-0.65). Additionally, the anchored VWAP taken from the high at $1.1 aligns beautifully with the $1 mark, adding another robust layer of resistance. This convergence reinforces the strength of this zone and signals potential continuation of the downtrend.
Recent price action shows that BNX has repeatedly bounced off the 0.618/0.666 levels during small downward corrections.
Moving Averages on the 1-Hour Chart: The 21 EMA/SMA on the 1-hour timeframe is clustering between $0.97 and $1, providing additional confirmation of the resistance and offering an ideal entry region for short trades.
Primary Short Trade Setup
Given the multiple confluences around the resistance zone, our main focus is a short trade with a well-defined laddering strategy:
Entry Strategy (Laddering): Initiate short positions with staggered entries between $0.97 and $1.019. This dollar-cost averaging (DCA) approach allows for flexibility and optimises your entry as price tests the resistance zone.
Stop Loss (SL): Place your stop loss around $1.0375, just above the Point of Control (POC) or the previous high in this range to effectively manage risk.
Target: Aim for a profit target at $0.8. This target is supported by multiple technical indicators.
Risk/Reward Ratio: With these levels, you are looking at an approximate risk/reward ratio of 4:1 or better, depending on your specific DCA weighting.
Confirmation: As always, await confirmation through order flow analysis and the appearance of rejection candles at key levels before entering the trade.
USD/CAD Slips—Fading Trade Fears, CPI in FocusUSD/CAD is trading heavy ahead of Canada’s inflation report, weighed down by softer US economic data and fading sticker shock from US trade policy headlines. With Canadian data impressing at rates not seen since mid-2024 and January’s steep reversal from 22-year highs increasingly resembling a cyclical top, the key question now is whether this marks the start of a more significant unwind of earlier USD/CAD gains.
The price broke through multiple support levels last week after failing above the 50-day moving average, taking out 1.4270 and 1.4195 before retesting the latter from below over the past two sessions. Momentum indicators like RSI (14) and MACD continue to generate bearish signals, reinforcing the near-term bias being lower.
Beyond 1.4195, downside levels include 1.4090, the December double bottom at 1.3932, and the 200-day moving average. On the upside, 1.4270 has acted as a cap for much of the past fortnight, alongside minor resistance at 1.4372. That zone could prove tough to crack this week without a major escalation in US trade tensions or an ice-cold Canadian inflation print.
On Tuesday’s CPI report, the data will be skewed by a temporary GST holiday, potentially distorting the signal. That raises doubts about whether it will have enough weight to disrupt the prevailing USD/CAD trend.
Good luck!

$BTC 3 Black Crows Falls Below WSMA9Another tough week for CRYPTOCAP:BTC
Closed the Week below the SMA9
With its 3rd consecutive bearish candle,
also known as 3 Black Crows.
This could mean that we have another bloody week ahead.
$94-91k is still very much in play.
Worth noting that Alts have been outperforming BTC this week, which is reflected in TOTAL and BTC.D
US100 LongOf course no financial advice!!!!
It looks like that there is lots of liquidity in the market but the buying pressure is stronger than the selling pressure. We are in an uptrend so I guess the market wants to grab/sweep the Liquidity Levels and then continue flying up to the moon to the ATH and also grab there some liquidity.
XAUUSD BUYS PROJECTION Hey Everyone here’s my weekly analysis for gold very bullish, tho last week we took a buy but SL got hit so this week I’m interested in this support zone and if we get a good rejection of this 50EMA and some bullish engulfing candle I will execute for buys to a new ATH so let’s see how the week goes and let’s have a win week….

Lockheed Martin NYSE:LMT
Lockheed Martin has had multiple large consolidations it has bounced back from. This consolidation seems to be getting a bit overplayed here as they continue to keep getting more contracts. The uncertain news with the defense spending is not all that bad and actually if the company continues to increase its net margin each quarter/year, the future looks good for Lockheed Martin. Making advanced technology while improving net income and net margin can prove to make Lockheed Martin a consistent winner of defense contracts. If budget cuts to defense spending do happen, it is not wise to assume Lockheed Martin is going to be negatively impacted as with talented engineers there is always room for innovation to make new high net income and net margins.
As for the Chart, It has had a fantastic run in 2024 and dollar cost averaging when a stock has the 50 day moving average significantly below its 100 day moving average and 200 day moving average is usually a good thing to do.
Consolidation period. There is a Fib level below it could bounce off of. Good thing to look for is when the stock goes above its 50 day moving average. The 100 day may cross below 200 day moving average, so that is something to watch for as well. Not a bad idea adding here and dollar cost averaging. Good company and I like the future of this stock on a longer timeframe.
BATMAN Formation Gold has appread to be down to 2788 USDThis chart provides a 4-hour timeframe analysis of the Gold Spot / U.S. Dollar (XAUUSD) pair, indicating several technical aspects and current market conditions.
Price Action and Trend Analysis:
Current Trend: The chart shows a recent bearish movement as indicated by the sharp red candle that breaks below the previous consolidation area and moving average lines. This could suggest a potential reversal or pullback in an otherwise bullish context.
Key Support and Resistance Levels:
Resistance is potentially around $2,907 and $2,900, highlighted by the MA Ribbon lines.
Immediate support is near the $2,850 mark, as shown by the lower green zones and moving averages.
Technical Indicators:
Moving Average (MA) Ribbon:
The price has fallen below the MA Ribbon, suggesting a potential shift in momentum from bullish to bearish in the short term. Watch for these averages as dynamic resistance levels on potential pullbacks.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
The MACD line is below the signal line and moving into negative territory, indicating increased bearish momentum. The expanding histogram in the negative region further supports this view.
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
The RSI is near 41, which is below the midpoint of 50, suggesting bearish momentum. It is not yet in the oversold region (below 30), which indicates that there may still be room for further downside.
Volume:
There appears to be a notable volume spike associated with the recent price drop, which can be seen as validating the bearish move.
Market Sentiment and Potential Strategy:
Short-Term Bearish Signal: The break below key moving averages and the recent bearish candle supported by increased volume suggest that bears are currently in control. Traders might consider looking for short opportunities on pullbacks to resistance levels.
Watch for Potential Reversal: Keep an eye on the RSI and MACD for any signs of divergence or flattening that may suggest weakening bearish momentum. If the price stabilizes or rebounds at the $2,850 support, it could indicate a possible reversal or retracement back towards the moving averages.
Risk Management:
Ensure proper risk management strategies are in place, considering stop-loss orders above the recent swing high or around the MA Ribbon resistance levels. Adjust positions according to real-time market feedback and changes in technical indicators.
$INDEX:BTCUSD Death Cross Potential - 200 EMA test imminent INDEX:BTCUSD
BTC has been stagnant since the initial excitement over the political landscape got brought back to earth through the talk of steep tariffs by the US on imports from its main suppliers and trading partners. The DEEPSEEK bomb went off around the same time sending the big buyers to put a pause on accumulating crypto and we have seen the this translate into a very weary market.
And Now because of investor insecurity smart money is waiting for the price to fall to take advantage of the fear that we are witnessing the end of the cycle and 20k btc is around the corner. No Such luck, however we do get a nice DEATH CROSS on the daily looking like weekend price movement is bound to see selling pressure that will drive the 20 EMA below the 50 EMA which will see bearish results in price and pressure to trend downwards
Anyone reading my Posts knows that I've been eyeing the 200 EMA on the daily as a zone that we are bound to visit before the market can continue to increase and set higher highs. I've previously given my reasons why in previous posts ie. convergence, fvg, support. I believe this could be the pressure that will drive is into those mid to low 80k areas that seemed so far away a few weeks ago, low 70's are also in play if we can't hold the 200 EMA or the psychological 80k support . I believe that enough buyers are waiting down there for those fire sale prices that once we do hit the 200 EMA it will be paramount to assess market conditions before going full in on the bounce likely to take place around 84,500k the 200 EMA's relative area that ties into the liquidity in the FVG.
