Earnings HFT gapsThe gaps that form during earnings season on or the next day after the CEO reports the revenues and income for that past quarter are always HFT driven. The concern over the past 2 previous quarters was the fact that the High Frequency Trading Firms were incorporating Artificial Intelligence into their Algos to make automated trading decisions on the millisecond scale. These small lot orders fill the ques milliseconds ahead of the market open in the US and any huge quantity of ORDERS (not lot size) causes the computers of the public exchanges and market to gap up or gap down, often a huge gap.
This can be problematic for those of you who use Pre Earnings Runs to enter a stock in anticipation of a positive to excellent earnings report for this upcoming quarter.
The HFT algos had several major flaws in the programming that did the opposite: The AI triggered sell orders rather than buy order causing the stock price to gap down hugely on good earnings news.
Be mindful that normal gaps due to a corporate event are far more reliable and consistent.
When you trade during earnings season, be aware that there is still added risk of an AI making a mistake and causing the stock to gap and run down on good news.
It is important to calculate the risk factors until it is evident by the end of this earnings season that the errors within the AI programming have been corrected and that the AI will gap appropriately to the actual facts rather than misinterpreted information.

"Ethereum Is The New Bitcoin" - Tom Lee ETH / Stablecoins Are the ChatGPT of Crypto
Stablecoins are exploding in adoption — just like ChatGPT took over AI and Ethereum is the engine driving that revolution. In this post, we break down 10 reasons why Tom Lee is extremely bullish on Ethereum and why it could be the single most important digital asset in the future of finance . If you're sleeping on ETH, this might be your wake-up call.
Top 10 Bullish Points from Tom Lee on Ethereum:
• Ethereum is the backbone of stablecoins , which Tom Lee compares to the “ChatGPT of crypto” due to their viral adoption and massive utility.
• Over 51% of all stablecoins operate on Ethereum , contributing to around 30% of the network’s total fees.
• Ethereum network fees could 10x as stablecoin usage grows from $250 billion to $2 trillion.
• Ethereum is positioned to lead the tokenization of real-world assets , including stocks and real estate.
• ETH could reach $10,000 if asset tokenization becomes a mainstream financial practice.
• Ethereum has a regulatory edge in the U.S. , making it the preferred platform for compliant financial innovation.
• A $250 million ETH treasury strategy is underway , aiming to use Ethereum as a long-term reserve asset.
• Institutions will buy and stake ETH to secure stablecoin networks, making ETH the “next Bitcoin.”
• Ethereum dominates the crypto ecosystem , with nearly 60% of activity including DeFi, NFTs, and dApps built on its chain.

Micron Technology - Another +50% rally will follow!Micron Technology - NASDAQ:MU - will rally another +50%:
(click chart above to see the in depth analysis👆🏻)
About two months ago Micron Technology perfectly retested a confluence of support. This retest was followed by bullish confirmation, nicely indicating a reversal. So far we saw a rally of +100%, but looking at the channel pattern and previous cycles, another +50% will follow.
Levels to watch: $200

Weekly trading plan for EthereumBINANCE:ETHUSDT Price has broken through the psychologically significant $3,000 level, but we're now seeing a clear 4-hour RSI divergence. Historical patterns suggest this divergence has a high probability of playing out. Expect potential correction initiation within the next 48 hours
Should the rally continue toward final targets:
The existing divergence may strengthen
A daily timeframe divergence could form
I'll await confirmation before considering short positions
As always, manage your risk wisely
Weekly trading plan for BitcoinBINANCE:BTCUSDT has currently set a new ATH, trading in the 121k-122k range. While no clear reversal signals are present yet, we're seeing early signs of a 4h RSI divergence. Without solid confirmation, short positions remain risky - price could liquidate shorts multiple times before any meaningful reversal. Key local level to watch is 119k
Trade safe and stay adaptive
This is a good video7.14 . 25 this is a great video because there are so many examples of patterns to look at and there weren't that many markets that I was following and about 3 or 4 of the markets actually had dramatic movement in the direction you would expect and this is an example of setting up your pattern and letting the pattern take care of you as it gives you the probable Direction the market would take and there would have been no significant drawdowns or retest associated with stops... As was seeing in the coffee Market.

NAS100 Nasdaq Range-Bound: What Traders Should Watch Next US100I'm currently keeping a close eye on the Nasdaq 🧠📊, which is trading within a range-bound structure 📉📈. While we’re seeing some bullish momentum on the NAS100 4-hour chart today ⏱️📈, it’s nothing particularly strong or decisive just yet. I’m waiting for a clear break 🔓 either above or below this current range before considering any trading opportunities 🎯.
In this US100 chart 🖼️, I’ve highlighted key components such as price action, market structure, the prevailing trend, and other important elements of technical analysis 🧩📐.

BTC PRICE PROJECTION ANALYSIS. HOW MUCH FURTHER UPSIDE???In this video, I'm just excited to see the cup and handle analysis done on October 19th, 2024 reach it's target. It's amazing!
I decided to do some predictive analysis using Elliott wave concept and Fibonacci extensions to see how far Bitcoin will go.
I am convinced that on the timeframe analyzed, this is onto a wave 5 and so pullbacks are going to be a great opportunity to grab some while a lot people will think this is madness.
My cup and handle analysis and targets getting hit has taught me a great lesson to always look at the bigger picture while taking advantage of the micro view.
Cheer to all the longs and Bitcoin believers. With only 1.11 Million Bitcoin available for grabs and Institutional confidence behind the asset, I am confident the projected price targets are highly likely and in sight soon.
Bitcoin Breakout: Charting the Next TargetsWe’re taking another look at #Bitcoin, which has surged higher and broken above its long-term channel — a move that’s caught the attention of many market watchers.
🔍 Key technical insights:
✅ The recent consolidation appears to be a midway pause in the uptrend. By measuring the preceding flagpole and projecting from the breakout, we derive an overall target near $145,000.
✅ Using Fibonacci extensions:
• From the September 2023 low to the March 2024 peak, projected off the July 2024 low, we see an interim resistance around $127,000.
• A secondary extension from the July 2024 low to the January 2025 high, projected off the March 2025 low, points to approximately $134,500.
📊 The broader bull trend remains intact while Bitcoin holds above its 55-day moving average. For those seeking tighter risk parameters, the 4-hour chart with cloud analysis suggests initial support around $119,500.
⚠️ As always, it comes down to your individual risk tolerance. (This is not investment advice.)
💬 I’d love to hear your perspectives:
• Are these targets on your radar?
• Where do you see Bitcoin heading next?
