Probability vs PossibilityThe battle that wages on every market, in every trade... Probability versus Possibility. Now I've seen SO MANY predictions and forecasts lately telling of breakouts, moons and lambos - It's disgusting. Why? Because while ANYTHING can happen (possibility), one must consider the chances of these events occurring (probability) . Now i don't mean to insult your intelligence by defining the words in such a basic means, I'm merely setting an argument. Let's consider Bitcoin for a moment, and where it is currently. IT IS STILL IN A DOWN-CHANNEL. It has NOT broken the resistance as of yet, and every time it's tried since it's fall in December, it has fallen further. Now the healthy channel of recovery is below us, it's baseline sitting in the 7.7K-8.2k zone. The green channel extending from this is the area in which Bitcoin feels comfortable. The most probable course of action is a fall, to either the 9-9.7k area before a reattempt at the resistance, or a straight skydive to the baseline. These two options are far more likely than bitcoin breaking out and seeing a new A-T-H. This is not just trade advice, this is life advice - Please consider the most likely course of actions before investing your hard earned money, before listening to all the hype, before letting yourself be led into disappointment. Now if I am wrong, if Bitcoin breaks the resistance and goes for a climb, you can jump aboard and sail the profitable seas at your leisure with slightly less profit than you could have. If i'm right however, you stand to lose up to 20-40% if you haven't taken the correct means of protection in a small and volatile time period. DON'T let emotion rule your decisions, this is a game of numbers and probability.
Whatever you decide, i wish you the best in the coming days :)
Possibility
>>GBPAUD<< >>January Week 3<< Short SetupI just went short on GBPAUD, very good Setup with a lot of confirmations.
Price just broke back below weekly 61% Price movement after testing my Daily 1.74250 Resistance Area
taking out stops before making further movement downside to 1.70500 Weekly Key Level.
Entry: 1.73000
Sl: 1.74300
Tp: 1.71450
Price will drop pretty fast, possibly at the end of this or next week we gonna see a lot of movement depending
on price action we can drop to 1.67250 or rise back to 1.74500.
Trade with care and have a good one.
EURNOK - UPTREND FORMING(?)This post is a bit hypothetical and completely out of character for me, because I usually trade after I've received complete and total indication that moves are going to play out in my favor, but I've seen this pattern play out so many times that it seems silly not to at least make you guys aware of a possible way this pair could develop. I see an uptrend forming here, considering the strong RSI, as well as the recent bounce off of the support. Keep an eye on this one, and get in if you feel comfortable.
USDCAD Bearish Flag PatternBearish trend movement for the past few days after price rejection at 50% Fibo lines. Range movement occured at top trend line creating new resistance line. "Higher highs trend" seems to have ended causing price to fall to the bottom trendline. Im expecting a BOUNCE or RETRACE before breakout below.
