Moving Averages
Potential Bear Flag in EnphaseEnphase Energy has drifted sideways for almost a year, and some traders may think a long-term downtrend is resuming.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the drop after prices stalled at the December high near $140. That false breakout is a potentially bearish signal.
ENPH proceeded to slide below $100. It next bounced and retraced about half the decline, which may confirm its direction has turned lower.
Third, a series of lower highs since early July may be viewed as a bearish flag. The solar stock closed below the line on Friday. Has a breakdown begun?
Finally, several simple moving averages (SMAs) are more or less on top of each other. That compression, which results from the long period of sideways movement, could potentially give way to another period of volatility.

$SPY August 5, 2024AMEX:SPY August 5, 2024
Levels broken.
We have to take from two lows,
409 and 493
500-502 is 200 average in daily.
Today premarket has broken 61.8% levels of 494 - 565 rise.
If we take the low from 409 then 38.2% retracement for the move 409 to 565 is 505 levels.
That will be 10% correction and probably 200 average supports.
Have to see if it holds.
Since the move started from 490 levels i will be worried only if 490 is broken.
BTC 1D OUTLOOKBitcoin is in a tricky place right now. The fear and greed index has cooled off massively and now sits at a neutral score of 55. General sentiment is very poor and after nearly 2 months of sideways action traders/investors are getting restless especially after the promise of price rally post-halving, but is there any positive news?
The chart is pretty clear, HTF is bullish, still above the 1D 200EMA but LTF is bearish. BTC has clearly broken its uptrend and is now in a bearish trend channel, although there has been a breakout attempt, for now it seems to be a fakeout. For me this leaves 2 scenarios;
- Trigger 1 is a breakout trade where confirmation is needed to avoid another fakeout, this includes making a higher high after a new lower high and therefor confirming a new bullish structure after breaking out of the bearish channel.
- Trigger 2 is more of a bearish scenario but one I believe would be better in the long run. There is a large inefficiency area between 52K-56.5K, price seeks to fill these fair value gaps and as long as that area is left unfilled it will always attract price to it, now this could be filled at anytime in BTC's lifespan but it would make the most sense to do it now rather than after price has another huge rally as the risk of a complete capitulation move down to fill this area would grow. Another reason I believe it makes the most sense is that the 1D 200 EMA is at the bullish OB+ level, in a Bullrun this level is a great point to enter longs as it provides strong support. Adding all these layers of confluence suggests this bullish OB+ area should it provide a positive reaction, would be a good area to enter longs which also would mean the altcoin market would also see a positive move as it is currently massively oversold and would bring traders to be more risk on.
The halving so far has not brought the desired bullish narrative that a lot of people expected but it would never going to be a reason for Bitcoins price to suddenly move up, it's one that will gradually have an impact as the supply shock has a lasting effect on miners and institutional investors.
Patience is key in this game, I believe that this quarter will remain a choppy frustrating one as BTC cools off after a year long rally and gets ready for the next leg up. Making sure that the portfolio is a strong as it can be for the next leg of the Bullrun is key and capital preservation is number 1. Trading because of boredom can be very costly. Stick to your plan as best you can to avoid any mistakes.
BTC Long Term Update: Bull Run is not over yetHistorical Bull Run of BTC is not over yet, as Wave 5 of 5 is still owed.
As long as price is above 31789, this idea remains valid.
Expecting a Wave 4 correction to last at least 6 months, maybe longer.
Summer-Autumn 2025 seems like a good estimate for a new leg up towards 100k.
Bitcoin levels historic Some Bitcoin levels that have held up historically over the last few years.
Will update some long / short areas in the comments.
Here are some points that impact my current trading strategy
Biden / Kamala admin already transferred 2b of Silk Road funds to liquid wallet
Warren buffet at 270b in cash on hand/ selling 50% of Apple shares / Berkshire has dumped more shares this quarter than any other quarter in history
War Iran/ Lebanon / Israel implications
Previous election prices
Oil prices dropping on war / not normal
Sahm rule -.5% reached
Recession indicator
Nas100 : Are the bulls coming back in?Price has fell hard from July 10th until August 1st.
I'm a seller by nature but its crazy to see nasdaq100 dropping like this. Bad news for Us Is affecting some Indices/Futures. Price has broken previous week low (19,748.00) I would like to see a strong rally coming back up for buy above previous week low if not bears will push price down lower around (18,000)
Good Luck Traders.
XAUUSD GOLD ANALYSISThe ruling price of gold as of 4 August is XAUUSD $2,442.50.
So here, we have discussed bullish and bearish areas along with the rationale that would arrive on a technical head to Gold.
> ● Bullish Zones
1. $2,470 - $2,480 Range:
- Reasons:
- Technical Resistance: The upper end at $2,470 - 80 area a range that has become an area of resistance. If the price goes above this area it likely attracts more buyers to step back in. By recent economic reports showing weakness in the U.S. dollar, gold may erect a spike from an acute IMT bullish stance as it does on historical instances when BL downward turn initial reactive GL wave(s) approach its upper range - ought to create likely hidden impulse scenario component over next few sessions -- reflecting again weak greenback for push higher into extension territory...
2. $2,500 Level:
- Reasons:
- Psychological Resistance: The most important psychological resistance is at $2,500. This level is significant because if the price breaks through, with a strong impulse more buyers may be attracted to enter new long positions.
- Fear of inflation: Inflation concerns and economic uncertainty usually create a buying interest for gold, with its perception as a safe-haven asset.
> ● Bearish Zones
1. $2,430 - $2,420 Range:
- Reasons:
- Support Turned Resistance: This zone could potentially act as an immediate support level If broken, it would likely serve as resistance because traders who missed a chance to buy could turn sellers in order to protect their profits.
- Market Correction: Recent gains may fail to overcome resistance, and a short-term pullback in this region will encourage investors looking for profit.
2. $2,400 - $2,390 Range:
- Reasons:
- Technical Support: This is the range that has either historical significance or technical indicators supporting a case for support on this dip if price gets to their area.
> Economic Factors:
While the dollar has depreciated somewhat, unexpected economic reports or geopolitical events will cause volatility and any upbeat U.S. data may bolster the greenback, exerting pressure on gold prices.
> Additional Considerations
- Geopolitical Events: Gold prices are influenced due to Geopolitical tensions and the Federal Reserve rate hikes etc. Keep an eye on scheduled news events that could either add to or prevent risk-off sentiment.
- Technical Indicators - Oscillators & moving averages are offering a neutral to slightly positive outlook, but those signals could change rapidly with external news.
In all, with further potential upside in gold prices likely to emerge, traders should be mindful of short-term corrections and vulnerable economic data.
First sign of KASPA ($KAS) turning bullish vs BTCKAS had fallen below the golden pocket and tested the (thick orange) 200 daily SMA, but failed on the 8Mar. It had since remained below the 78.6% Fib retrace lvl after an attempt to retest the 200 SMA again on the 22Mar.
I had been slowly accumulating more KAS below the 78.6% Fib lvl and have now doubled my KAS holdings; after having stopped DCAing into KAS after it had previously pierced above 0.05USD (see the previous 5Nov2023 chart analysis tag).
It remained below the 78.6% Fib lvl until 25May, where it first held support, finally, above the red 21 daily EMA ( setting a second higher low ). It subsequently retested the 78.6% Fib lvl again on the 28May and eventually bounced off the 21 EMA to successfully pierced above the 78.6% Fib lvl as the resistance line on the 2Jun.
If the following daily candles continues to hold above the 78.6% Fib, the next level to look out for is the orange 200 SMA line , still lingering just below the golden pocket .
If KAS is able to pierce above the 200 SMA into the golden pocket, this will set up KAS to retest the 0.5% Fib level, which if successful, it would then very likely continue to pierce above the relatively much weaker 38.2% and 23.6% Fib resistance levels for another revisit of the ATH and to hopefully set a new ATH for a blue sky breakout .
S&P 500 makes island top today indicates more selling to come 5%Bearish case - Island top reversal made today suggests further selling unless the gap can be closed
Expect the price to move back to the 200EMA which is 5% away
If it does not stop there it could be a small trend change as it happened on NFP non farm payrolls day
Not advice only for educational purposes
NIFTY VIEW FOR 05-08-2024Such a fantastic Gapdown and the down move. nifty ranged between previous potential support zones whole day. We have seen the selling pressure & volatility in the last 45 min.
Finally Nifty formed an important zone to look for Monday. That zone acts as DO or DIE for nifty.
If that zone broken, there is no support upto 24500. (nearly 200 points)
Also I have observed 20EMA & 200EMA crossover is about to happen in 15min timeframe. if that happens we will see nifty at 24500 for sure.
There are multiple resistance zones on the chart with only 2 far away support zones.
Rangebound Zone : 24701-24687
Support Zones : 24505-24522 , 24410-24425
Resistance Zones : 24775-24759, 24819-24798, 2488-24890, 24970-24980

$SPY August 2, 2024AMEX:SPY August 2, 2024
15 Minutes
AMEX:SPY was not able to hold 554 555 levels.
So, it gave a chance to said earlier it closed below 21 moving averages.
For the day taking the fall 554.86 to 539.43 then 546-548 will be a good level to short.
So, holding 541 -542 today I will try for a sell on rise.
On other side if close below 539 as said earlier I will aim first for 536 levels which is at the moment 200 average in 180-minute timeframe.
Potential Buying Zone (Daily)This might be a potential buying zone (small chunk) for the following reasons:
1. Target of H&S completed.
2. Weekly support.
3. EMA 144 - 200.
Note: I'm a learner and I'm reusing my learned tools after a very long time. Let me know if I can improve or if you have any suggestions.
FMC Corp | FMC | Long at $58.00NYSE:FMC Corp is currently trading at a P/E ratio 6x and has a 3.98% dividend. It had a very rough year in 2023, but the company estimates improved earnings and growth after 2024. From a technical analysis perspective, it appears to be in an accumulation phase after seeing a low around $50 and wavering between that value and $68 for 11 months. Unless fundamentals change post earnings, it is currently in a personal buy zone at $58.00.
Target #1 - $81.00
Target #2 - $85.00
Target #3 - $90.00
Target #4 - $122.00 (very long-term...)
USDJPY to Nearly 4-Month Lows on Shifting Policy DynamicsThe Bank of Japan followed a cautious and slow path away from the ultra-loose monetary setting after abandoning the negative rates regime and the yields curve control, in the historic decision of March. But price pressures persisted, wages increased substantially after the spring negotiation and the Yen was further devalued, forcing officials to step up their tightening efforts.
They hiked rates for the second time in this cycle, to around 0.25%, while pointing to more moves ahead if the economy evolves as anticipated. Furthermore, they announced a plan to slash their bond purchases, so that they will halve by Q1 2026.
After hitting 38-year highs at the start of the month, USD/JPY reversed course due to Japan’s FX interventions rising expectations for BoJ hikes and increased optimism around Fed cuts. The forceful action by the Bank of Japan along with the Fed opening the door to a September pivot this week, exacerbated the decline to the lowest levels since mid-March. The pair is now exposed to 146.47 and the shift in monetary policy dynamics can fuel further weakness.
On the other hand, BoJ warned it could increase bond purchases again if needed, while market pricing for three cuts by the Fed may be stretched. Furthermore, the rate differential remains wide and the favorable carry trade could persist. The Relative Strength Index is oversold and this can drive a rebound above the 200Days EMA (blue line), but 200H4 EMA (black line) looks much harder. Focus now shifts to Friday’s US NFPs which are becoming increasing important for the policy path, as disinflation is back on track.

$SPY August 1 ,2024AMEX:SPY August 1 ,2024
15 Minutes.
547 consolidations broke with a big gap up.
And AMEX:SPY managed to hold the gap during the day.
If we consider the rise from538.51 to 551.5 then holding 544 uptrend continues.
However, since it will close gap, I need 548 to hold being 38.2% retracement of the rise.
Once 554-555 is crossed i expect once more AMEX:SPY 565 levels.
But first the moving averages need to sort out in 15 minutes.
And oscillator divergence too.
Valuation Trade Setups: NVDA, AVGO, GOOGL, AMZN, PINS & SilverI have been filled long on some trades based on my valuation trading strategy.
In this video I explain the strategy (conditional criteria, entries & money management) implemented with this weeks entries in NVDA, AVGO & Silver (as well as resting orders for GOOGL, AMZN & PINS). I also briefly explain the idea of "relative strength", which I applied this week when I decided to long Silver instead of Copper.
Enjoy.

Navigating the Waves: Elliott Wave Theory and Key IndicatorsEducational Technical Analysis on example chart of UFO Moviez India
Elliott Wave Analysis and Key Moving Averages
Disclaimer
This study is for educational purposes only and does not constitute trading or investment advice. The analysis presented focuses on one potential scenario based on Elliott Wave Theory and other technical indicators. Trading and investing involve substantial risk, and individuals should consult a financial advisor before making any decisions.
Introduction to Elliott Wave Theory
Elliott Wave Theory is a form of technical analysis that traders use to analyze financial market cycles and forecast market trends by identifying extremes in investor psychology, highs and lows in prices, and other collective activities. The theory posits that stock prices move in predictable patterns or "waves" based on investor sentiment.
Principles of Elliott Wave Theory
1. Wave Patterns: According to Elliott, market prices move in five waves in the direction of the main trend (impulse waves) and three waves in a correction against the main trend (corrective waves).
2. Wave Degrees: Waves are fractal in nature, meaning that smaller waves form part of larger waves, and this pattern repeats on all time frames.
3. Wave Characteristics:
- Wave 1: Usually the smallest impulse wave.
- Wave 2: Corrects Wave 1 but does not exceed its starting point.
- Wave 3: Typically the strongest and longest wave.
- Wave 4: Corrective wave that is usually less severe.
- Wave 5: Final leg in the direction of the main trend.
Current Analysis of example chart of UFO Moviez India
Based on the chart and Elliott Wave Theory, UFO Moviez India is currently suggesting an impulsive and momentum-driven 3rd of the 3rd wave ahead, with an invalidation level at 106.
Key Observations:
1. Wave Count:
- Wave (1): An initial 5-wave impulse has completed.
- Wave (2): A corrective ABC pattern.
- Wave (3): Currently unfolding with sub-waves i, ii, iii, iv, and v marked.
- Wave 3: In the larger context is forming.
2. Breakout:
- There is a breakout above the downward trendline with good volumes, indicating strong bullish momentum.
3. Key Moving Averages:
- Price Trading Above:
- 50 EMA, 100 EMA, and 200 EMA
- 50 WEMA, 100 WEMA, and 200 WEMA
- Crossed above 20 MMA
Technical Indicators and Levels
- Price: 148.54 INR (as of the latest close)
- Support Levels:
- Nearest Invalidation Level: 106 INR
- Major Support: 57.20 INR
- Resistance Levels:
- Immediate Target: 175.58 INR (Wave 1 of larger degree)
- Fibonacci Extension Target: 220.51 INR (1.618 extension of Wave 1)
Conclusion
The Elliott Wave analysis of example chart of UFO Moviez India indicates a potentially strong bullish trend as the stock is in the 3rd wave of a larger impulse. The breakout above the trendline with significant volume further supports this bullish outlook. However, it is crucial to monitor the invalidation level at 106 INR, as a break below this level could invalidate the current wave count and suggest a different scenario.
