Patternanalysis

Precious Metals / Gold holding up in Oceania & Asia - Thursday At the New York session yesterday Wednesday, Gold got sketchy as the price quickly sold-off below the critical 2500 level but it soon got support as a further sell-down in the Gold price was not warranted. The Gold-price bottomed at 2494.03. As it recovered quickly with bulls stepping in the price got back above the 2500 zone. I advised here of bullish W/bottoms emerging on the lower-timeframes & I could see that as these W/bottoms were forming & getting written that there was plenty of support in the price above the 2500 level. We bought in and had a good ride to 2016 where I advised to take some profit off-the-table. The USDX US$ index turned around mid-afternoon yesterday (Wednesday) in the New York session. Right now some 5 hours later just after the Thursday Asian session we are still seeing a turnaround in the USDX due to some oversold condition of it due to its selling off this week on weakness. I am monitoring it to see if and when it does turnaround again. The 4HR & Daily Stochastic seems to be coming into some support of its oversold condition but this weakness can reemerge at anytime. I will keep watching because of its impact on the Gold price. The Vix-Index was a tad elevated during Wednesday trading but it has since come-off somewhat during Asian trading this Thursday which is probably good for the Gold price but that can vary somewhat depending on how much the VIX increases. During a huge rise in the VIX like we saw a couple of weeks ago the Gold price sold off very savagely. I like these bullish patterns on Gold at the moment. I think if the USDX sells off again during Thursday then this pattern emerging on the lower and mid timeframes looks supportive for Gold.

A Bitcoin Prediction (2024)In this chart, I uncover price levels across an identified cyclical pattern hidden within Bitcoin. I was initially hesitant to publish this, as I had been pondering the theory for a few days. However, as the price approaches the Phase 2 level, I believe the timing cannot be ignored, and a reaction may be imminent as Bitcoin could be on the verge of breaking out into Phase 2... I've posted a screenshot prior to where BTC is now (below) My discovery in finding this was not intentional nor was it believable. However, after identifying some familiar projective price targets deriving from Bitcoin's first cycle the compelling results left me intrigued and were enough for me to continue. Whilst continuously applying my method more and more results seemed to match with key pivotable phases. Once I hit 2020, I was sure to expect some variances, but to my surprise, there was not, and price levels were again matched to pivotable levels. It is to that point I followed through into 2024 and beyond. As stated in the chart there is no trickery rather, there is logic and reason. It appears, these predictions beyond 2024 are realistic and do not point to crazy moon boy levels. So with that, I leave this here to revisit and pay my respects. Some Observational and Key Points: I base some findings on a 2 x 8-year cycle rather than the conventional 4-year cycle. However, it may appear shorter than expected. Just as there are diminishing returns, there too is an aspect of diminishing cycle timing. While cycles are often recognised by their low and high targets, not many observe the time it takes to surpass a previous all-time high (ATH) or low. This is interesting because Bitcoin does not exhibit this repetitive behaviour in its history. I observed the peaks and troughs while noting the counts and periods across cycle phases and took a visual snapshot towards 2022-24 playing into more likely that of 2013-16. I've projected 2 ATHs as a range due to the nature of placement. The first target is primary, and wicks above could stretch into the second. Projections are also based on a 2-week (close) timeframe. Final comments: This is not an indication to be mega bullish and is NFA. The chart merely highlights developments I've identified and is not certain to play out, although quite probable. It is more of a "let's look back and indulge" - at least for me. Thanks and Enjoy!

The chart is a battleground, revealing who got crushed!In the early days of exchange trading, there was no technical possibility to visualize market quote movements, and traders analyzed ticker tapes. The real hype and massive interest in exchange speculation owe it to the technical possibility of displaying exchange information in the form of charts with ticks, bars, candles, and other more exotic ways of displaying price movements (Renko, Kagi). This led to a rapid growth of various schools of technical and graphical analysis. Just Google it, and you'll be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of info out there. It's like, every chart can be interpreted in a million ways, and three analysts will give you four different opinions on the same chart. It's crazy! But after 15+ years of trading, I've come to realize that the essence of graphical analysis is all about finding the "suffering" market participants. Classic patterns make it easy to spot areas of market activity and where traders are piling in. I'll give you some examples, backed by data from open sources, that'll show you just how predictable retail traders can be. Now, I know some experienced traders might say, "Patterns don't work, and this knowledge isn't enough." But I call BS - patterns do work, and the real question is who's extracting the most value from them? Of course, interpreting market patterns is just one piece of the puzzle. Here's an analogy: think of experienced hunters preparing for a hunt. They don't just wander around looking for prey; they identify the habitats, study the location, and track the animal's migration paths. They have a plan, limited time, and the right gear to get the job done. It's the same with pro traders with really big money. They plan and execute their strategy, using the behavior of less-informed participants in certain "hotspots" that attract retail traders like magnets. It's simple: a a newbie sees a market situation that looks just like one from a technical analysis book, and they're like, "Ah, I've got this!" Alright, let's take a look at the current situation with the Euro. I've got a screenshot with the average long and short positions of retail traders marked on the chart. It's a 1-hour time frame, which is probably the most popular one, right? Think about it, why is this time frame so popular? The data is from an open source, as of Friday evening. Take a minute to study this chart. What catches your eye? Let's zoom in and add some lines and arrows. Voilà! What do we see? The average long and short positions of participants (from the open source) almost perfectly match the breakouts of local highs and lows. This is what's called "trading the breakout" in the books. We can make an intermediate conclusion: the "bulls" were encouraged to open positions and got stuck in a losing zone, while the "bears" are celebrating their victory, as the market is favoring them and they're in a small profit. In other words, the market sentiment is bearish. Woohoo, case closed, let's go to short the Euro now! And yes, and no! The Euro quotes have been below the average short position of traders since June 14th, for two whole weeks, inviting everyone to start shorting. Even a blind "bull" can see it's time to switch sides). Here are some more numbers from the open source: short positions on the Euro decreased by 11.55% last week , while bearish positions grew by 8.55% . These are broker-aggregated data, no insider info here. You can find them yourself if you put in some time and effort. These numbers, as you understand, confirm our hypothesis that this "shorting invitation" didn't go unnoticed. Now, in the context of this article, think about it: "Will the 'Hunters' take advantage of this situation?" Or will the market take us all for a profitable ride? Oh boy... Let's look at the current situation with the Yen. It's a 1-hour chart with opened buys and sell levels marked. What can we conclude: a massive bearish candle clearly encouraged a lot of short positions to open, while the "bulls" opened at the upper range boundary during its test, and the market is favoring them, while the bears are suffering. But what's even more important, they're not just suffering, but also reversing the market. According to open data, the number of open short positions grew by 14.09% last week . Good luck to them in this tough business! However we should remember that short positions are closed at a stop-loss by "market buy" orders, which gives an impulse for further growth. What do I want to convey with this article, what do I want to share with you, mates? Evaluate market sentiment through the prism of "suffering" participants - that's, in my opinion, the best indicator! Usefully utilize information from open sources about retail positioning, there's a lot of value in it. Try to look at the chart with the eyes of a "hunter", search for traps set. Make such analysis a necessary part of your strategy to gain an edge, without which trading on markets is like playing "roulette". It's a journey, folks. Some get it earlier, some later, but eventually, most traders come to realize they need to "dig deeper", learn more about market mechanics, and improve their strategies. It's a painful process, but it's worth it. So, don't give up! Get back on your feet, and try again. As 50 Cent said: Get rich or die trying!

The Unspoken Mystery behind SL Hunting - Example: EaseMyTripThe Unspoken Truth & Mystery behind Stop-Loss Hunting: *** The Most Important Point *** Many Training Academies & Experts say it is Most Critical to have SL, but where ? How much % ? In Equity Delivery Trading (Not F&O / Not Intraday) – when you have done thorough analysis of stock and sector, more than SL, patience is key. Understand the Unspoken Truth – In Trading, Money is not grown organically – the Loss of one person gets to another one as Profit. If Everyone knows a scrip will bounce from a Strong Support – then how will Big Players make money ? By Cheating us, By Faking a Breakdown Scenario, By Stretching beyond our SLs. Although no one knows where we have placed our SLs, Big players know for the fact that a Retail trader won’t have their SLs beyond 10-15%. That’s the normal capacity. So, they try to shatter your patience, break your SL by a Fake Breakdown just beyond an average Retail player. Once our SLs have been hit, then they will pump in money aggressively to take the price Higher. This will hit the SLs of other set of Retail players who may have Shorted the scrip Intraday / F&O when the support was broken. Voila – the Big Players now have hit SLs of Retail players on both sides and will take the price much higher. On a Chart – this will appear as “Wick” on higher timeframe. A proper Breakdown of Support on Daily timeframe will appear as Wick on Weekly and weekly breakdown appears as Wick on Monthly. 2) Pattern Negation: While Taking a trade using Breakout patterns (Rounding Bottom, Inverted H&S, Cup & Handle etc…), the Pattern is Deemed as Negated when the price re-enters below the BO zone. But watch carefully on higher timeframe to ensure it is not a Fake Negation. At least we need to have patience to confirm negation of Pattern on Weekly Close. Even if it gets negated on Weekly – do not exit the trade on SL. Understand where the next major support is. Only if it is far down below – take a calculated decision to exit the trade on SL. Else hold patiently for the price to take support from the next Demand zone and bounce back. 9 out of 10 times (unless the sector itself is in negative sentiment) the price will bounce back / goes sideways accumulating power from the Demand zone. In the case of EasemyTrip - The Falling Parallel Channel / Flag Pattern breakout happended on Weekly and it had to cross the resistance at 46 to be deemed a successful Breakout. But even after Breakout, the scrip started falling down sharply below the 46 Resistance zone on Daily. But look at the Weekly Candle - Only Wick below. for 2 Weeks Big Players tried to scare-off weak hands by faking Breakdown again and again on Daily Timeframe. But on Weekly - for both the weeks only Wick is below 46 and candle ended above 46 zone confirming the Flag Pattern Break-Out as Successful and Still Valid Disclaimer: Stocks-n-Trends is NOT a SEBI registered company.

HBAR as a Good Example of Common Patterns & Measured MovesHBAR presents a good example of how simple market pattern trading using measured moves still work quite well. As these are moves in crypto, the measured targets exceed recommended lengths for a typical pattern trade, yet still line up quite well in continuing to use the same measurements beyond 1x -> 1.5 or 2x. First, a parallel channel containing a double-bottom, saw a nearly 4x measured move up on the weekly. Its highest wick, breaking 4x. Then a rising wedge that could also be called a double-top, worked out for a nearly 2.5x measured move down back into weekly support; stopping inches above the stronger area of support near the bottom. Also, if you look at HBAR's most recent weekly highs, they stopped right around the 1x measured target of the upward move, and is now pushing on the 1.5x measured target of the downward move. Both measurements are still providing direction on where price might make pit-stops.

NZDCAD PLAN.Hello traders around the world! My name is Alexandre Karim and today I want to talk about NZDCAD for a possible long position scenario. On the weekly chart we can draw a descending channel since April 2016 (Low at 0.86573) & November 2016 (High at 0.98831) till present taking multiple touches. The descending channel shows us an upside gravity + on the higher time frame we can clearly see that the price made a "V shape" and a bullish correction after it. If we zoom in to the daily chart, we can draw the upper and lower TL of this bullish correction. Moving to the 4H chart, we can check our areas for a long position. The first one would be a reversal on the lower 4H TL and the second one would be a breakout of the upper TL + giving us a continuation after. I will be focusing on the 1H chart to execute the trade. These are two possible scenarios on NZDCAD! What are your thoughts? Remember, patience is key! Wait for the perfect set up before entering any trade. #ThePrimes

SQQQ on Bullish Signal Uptrend - Potential Recession is Coming SQQQ price closing on 50.24 USD where on the breakout of resistance level 48.68 USD yesterday. Notice that having a huge buying volume to support the breakout (cup and handle pattern), this indicate it is a strong bullish signal where investor can consider to take "Long" position on SQQQ with current price (50.24 USD). To be conservative, can take 46.19 USD as stop loss position which approximately 8.03% of risk. This would possibly on strong upward trend while potentially NASDAQ would be on bearish trend. Most likely " Recession is Coming" ... On the other hand, take a look on another chart regarding QQQ ETF which tracking on NASDAQ-100 Index: Based on my humble analysis, we can see NASDAQ-100 index had formed "Head and Shoulders" pattern. Yesterday the chart just on the breakout support level position with high selling volume of transactions. This mean it is high possibility that NASDAQ might go into "free fall". Thus, might be a good opportunity to trade SQQQ with manageable risk now (if practice stop loss of 8% from yesterday closing price - 50.24 USD) “Past performance does not guarantee future performance. This is for just my personal opinion but not trading advise.”

📊 Chart Patterns Cheat SheetPatterns are the distinctive formations created by the movements of security prices on a chart and are the foundation of technical analysis. A pattern is identified by a line connecting common price points, such as closing prices or highs or lows, during a specific period. Technical analysts seek to identify patterns to anticipate the future direction of a security’s price. These patterns can be as simple as trendlines and as complex as double head-and-shoulders formations. 🔹 Reversal patterns are those chart formations that signal that the ongoing trend is about to change course. If a reversal chart pattern forms during an uptrend, it hints that the trend will reverse and that the price will head down soon. Conversely, if a reversal chart pattern is seen during a downtrend, it suggests that the price will move up later on. 🔹 Continuation chart patterns are those chart formations that signal that the ongoing trend will resume. Usually, these are also known as consolidation patterns because they show how buyers or sellers take a quick break before moving further in the same direction as the prior trend. Trends don’t usually move in a straight line higher or lower. They pause and move sideways, “correct” lower or higher, and then regain momentum to continue the overall trend. 👤 @AlgoBuddy 📅 Daily Ideas about market update, psychology & indicators ❤️ If you appreciate our work, please like, comment and follow ❤️

CADJPY Wave And Trend Analysis and SignalBe sure to stick to Stop Lost and TAkE Profit. This is an idea and not a bargain offer In the financial markets, in the technical analysis of Elliott wave theory and its different styles, it is like the letters of the alphabet to read the price movement on the chart and it helps us a lot to diagnose and predict the future price. Fibonacci One of the good friends is a bargain and shows us good and useful support and resistance, especially if the combination of all types of Fibonacci expansion and retracement and the formation of a Fibonacci and PRZ range show us useful and interesting return ranges. Where there is potential for price diversion Trend lines can be a great help to a trader who finds areas with potential for return or indeed resistance and support on the chart. By drawing the rand lines correctly, you will see that the price responds to these areas with surprise. In general priceaction what dynamic trend lines are statically useful

AUDUSD WAVE AND PATTERN ANALYSIS TRENDThis post is just a personal idea and analysis should not be the criterion for buying or selling It seems to be in the g-wave and based on confirmation from other currency pairs such as eurusd, which has a negative correlation with this currency pair and the euro is bullish, this currency pair will probably fall to the specified range in the long run. It may form in the same diametric microwave The range I consider for the target is 0.47780 In the rectangles on the chart, the patterns formed in the past in microwaves are labeled in different time cycles and can be used for teaching and learning. On the chart, I tried to segment as much as possible the educational tips related to the classic Elliott and Elliott in neowave style in the rectangles I drew and the formation patterns in different time cycles. I hope my efforts will be useful for educational materials. My prediction is that the price will reach this level in the next 4 to 5 years
