Price-action

Bitcoin ATH: Potential Retracement Zones and Key LevelsBitcoin current price now is 76k surpassed ATH at 14 March 2024, after surge more than 13% we may see increased speculation and bullish momentum driving the price higher. However, if Bitcoin struggles to maintain upward momentum near this level, we may witness a retracement before the next significant move. Retracements are a common and healthy part of price movement, providing the opportunity for consolidation before the next leg up. On the chart, we observe several retracement levels marked by Fibonacci retracement levels, as well as Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) that may act as areas of support if Bitcoin's rally takes a breather. 1. The first potential support level sits at the 0.5-0.62 retracement level. This zone represents a modest pullback and would allow Bitcoin to establish a higher base without losing its bullish structure. This level falls within an FVG, which might reinforce the zone as a strong support if Bitcoin pulls back to this area. 2. A deeper retracement could see Bitcoin testing the 0.705-0.79 retracement level. This level could attract more significant buying interest, as it represents a meaningful correction or extreme discount zone that provides an attractive entry point for new buyers. 3. Green zone (OB) signaling areas of potential liquidity where buyers might enter aggressively to capture value. Trendline Support and Horizontal Levels Trendlines provide insight into Bitcoin's directional bias. A rising trendline, indicated in yellow on the chart, has been guiding the recent rally and could serve as dynamic support in case of a downturn. If Bitcoin respects this trendline, it would suggest a continuation of the uptrend, with the trendline acting as a safety net for any dips in price. This would allow BTC to pull back and consolidate while maintaining its upward momentum. Another significant level is marked as "rH" around $73,787, a former resistance level that could now act as support. If Bitcoin retraces to this level and finds support, it could reinforce bullish sentiment and potentially lead to another rally attempt. Volume Analysis We also see moderate trading volumes, indicating sustained but cautious buying activity. An increase in volume at higher prices would strengthen the case for a continued rally, as it would demonstrate robust market interest. Conversely, if the volume decreases during a pullback, it may indicate that sellers lack conviction, suggesting that the retracement could be brief and limited to consolidation.

Bitcoin, What's Next After "Almost" Hit ATH?After significant rally, Bitcoin price action recently approached its all-time high (ATH), signaling significant bullish sentiment. However, the price is now showing signs of potential retracement. Currently trading around the 72k USDT level, the price could either dip into a fair value gap (FVG) or descend further into the highlighted green box, where a trendline provides support. This retracement would allow for consolidation and might attract new buyers, offering a more solid base for the next upward push. As the price potentially reaches the green box or bounces off the FVG, there could be an increase in bullish volume, pushing it toward resistance zones marked above. If the trend holds and the bulls regain control, Bitcoin could break through resistance, potentially pushing beyond 74,000 USDT to reach new highs. In this scenario, this temporary pullback serves as a healthy correction within an ongoing bullish trend, building momentum for the next leg up in the journey toward breaking the ATH.

#202430 - priceactiontds - weekly update - dax futuresGood Evening and I hope you are well. Quote from last week: bear case: Bears are at the exact same spot as last Sunday but just a tat higher. They want a big reversal again at multiple resistance above 18800. They also see all the rejections from the past months at this level and shorting here has been very profitable. They also know it’s a bad buy for the bulls up here. Odds clearly favor them to trade back to at least 18600 but we will probably see 18500 early next week. comment: Bears took complete control of the market after the lower high 18927 which formed a perfect head & shoulders pattern. The Measured move down is around 17000 and I expect that price to be hit in 2024. Last bull trend line before the big one from 2020 & 2022 and I expect it to be broken over the next 1-3 weeks. The upcoming pullback is the most important part now because the height will determine the strength of the next bear leg and if this a new bear trend or not. If bulls get above18600 again, there is a decent chance we are still inside a big trading range. If bears keep it below the daily 20ema, we will most likely form a proper channel we can grind down over the next months. current market cycle: trading range - go look at the monthly chart. It’s a clear 4 month trading range. —unchanged key levels: small range 18000 / 18900 bull case: Bulls and bears alike knew the recent high at 18900 was a bad buy and they tried to save their bull case on Tuesday but once Wednesday came around and 18700ish was resistance the third time, they gave and we only produced lower highs since. Best bulls can hope for now is to keep it above 18000 and bounce at the weekly 20ema which is exactly right under Friday’s close and that the bull trend line from April will hold. Market expects a pullback and bulls want it to go above 18600, which increases the odds of this being a continuation of the triangle, rather than a new bear trend. Invalidation is below 18147. bear case: Bears are in full control and want a lower low below 18148 to break the bull trend line. The recent selling was strong enough for a second leg but I think a pullback is expected after Opex. Also very strong selling on much greater volume. Any pullback should stay below 18600. Invalidation is above 18650/18700, but that is pure guesswork. Need to see a bounce first. In general, if a pullback goes beyond the 50% mark, it’s hard to argue for a strong bear trend. outlook last week: short term: Bearish at least to 18500. It’s 50/50 if bulls can do a higher high or will only print lower highs from here. Looking for early weakness and then at 18500 absolutely neutral and let the market decide where it wants to go next. Any bad Dax earnings next week will probably flush it below 18500 again. → Last Sunday we traded 18857 and now we are at 18298. High of the week was 18889 and the low was 18274. Gave you 18500 and you got 18274. That’s 585 points from last Friday’s close. Hope you made some. short term: Full bear mode. Will try to catch the bounces as good as one can but the big money will be made to the downside over the next months. Short term we will see a bounce that should stay below 18500/18600 and from there I expect another big leg down to 17800. medium-long term: Time to update this section. I called for 17000 for couple of months now and I said, any short around or above 19000 is amazing. The highs held and now we will see how low we can get in 2024. 17100 is still my first bigger target and should be reached in 2024. At this point it does not make sense to call lower targets. current swing trade: Short since 18700, added to shorts 18900. Will hold this till Cathy closes ARKK or the big short 2.0 is announced. Update: Will post also some profit taking and adding to the position again. On Monday I plan to look for strength and take about half off and to add again around 18500 or higher. Chart update: Be reminded, that I switched from dax cfd to dax futures. Removed all the bullish lines except the two main trend lines. On from April and the one from 2020. Put text on the shs pattern and added a fat bear trend line from ath to the recent lower high because that’s the triangle we are currently in and about to find out of the bottom will hold.

#202430 - priceactiontds - weekly update - bitcoinGood Evening and I hope you are well. comment: Bull trend is losing steam but still very bullish. Every dip is bought and market is mostly staying above the 4h 20ema. My measured move target upwards is around 72000. Do not look to short this is my advice and only look for strong bull breakouts on pullbacks. Trend kinda had 3 pushes up already but until the bull trend line is broken and market is trading below the daily 20ema, looking for shorts is a waste of time. current market cycle: Trading range but smaller bull trend inside of it key levels: 53000-70000 bull case: Bulls had an amazing reversal 2 weeks ago and follow through last week. They want their measured move target 72000 and if they can reach it, most likely also a new ath. Invalidation is below 62400. bear case: Not much for the bears. Technically it’s a breakout retest of the small trading range before the bear trend between 67000 - 72000. Bears want to turn around here but it’s very low probability that this bull trend inside this bigger trading range is already over. Invalidation is above 69000. short term: Bullish if we break above 68000 for tp 70000 or higher. Absolute no interest in shorts. medium-long term: I have been writing about getting down to 50000 for many many weeks now and since we are only 3500 points above it, it’s time to review my medium-long term take. I do think we are doing a very similar thing to 2021. Market will probably touch the monthly 20ema at 46000 soon and then go for a dead cat bounce. I do not think market can do a higher high again. For me it’s lower highs from here on and highest I think it can get again is 65000 but I do think there is a good chance, 63000 may be all bulls can get again. If it trades strongly below 46000, probably 30000 soon after but let’s make 46000 first and then I reevaluate my take. Update: Dead cat bounce way too strong to call it that. Still holding my 40000 target for 2024. current swing trade: None chart update: Added bull trend lines and removed old unnecessary highs and lows. That dotted bear trend line is very low probability and it’s better to ignore it.

#202428 - priceactiontds - weekly update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr Friday I wrote on twitter that the highs are probably in and I will stand by that. Can I be wrong by another 100 points in the sp500? Sure but I doubt it. The patterns to sell down are aligning on the monthly, weekly and daily tf. The buying was more than climactic and we can see enough indicators pointing down or are already bad. Big institutions won’t jeopardize their whole trading year with overstaying in this bubble. The past 3 trading days formed a perfect bull trap and if bears can start the reverse early next week, we will see some acceleration downwards. As always, don’t blindly long/short anything. Wait for confirmation before you enter a trade. dax: Big up, big down, bigger up. Interesting week but again, nasty reversal bar on Friday. I doubt bulls will buy this up again. The right shoulder here looks decent enough on the daily chart and market could drop 600 points from here. Confirmation for the bears is a print below 18500. If bulls are strong, they stay inside the wedge and trade back above 18800. 55/45 for the bears imo. Quote from last week: comment: Market was completely neutral past week. Let’s look at the weekly chart and what it tells us. 5 Week selloff and now 2 bull weeks and past week was as neutral as it gets. Tells us that the market is in balance and does not know where it will go next. We can draw multiple bad bear trend lines and all are valid until broken. Does not help with trading at this price. Since we have a decent bull support line from the April and June low, we know that the market is in a triangle and the middle is most likely around 18300. As long as market is coming back to that price, you buy low and sell high. Since market is also staying above the weekly 20ema, bears are not favored to suddenly break below it. It’s also trading below the daily 20ema and did not have a daily close above it for 12 trading days. It’s a trading range near the ath, where the market is compressing and will soon see a breakout. comment: We got the breakout to the upside, then the downside and another upside breakout again. Clearly not the continuation of a strong bull trend but a leg inside the trading range. Friday’s bull bar is a bad buy going into next week, which raises the odds of market moving sideways to down. Two bull wedges on the daily chart and I slightly favor the bears to break to the downside at least to the daily ema 18460. Weekly tf gives head & shoulders vibe but as long as market is staying above the weekly 20ema at 18200, it’s neutral inside the given key level. current market cycle: trading range - go look at the monthly chart. It’s a clear 4 month trading range. —unchanged key levels: small range 18200 / 18800 bull case: Bulls want to stay inside the bull wedges and break above them to retest the ath 19006. They are making higher highs and higher lows and are above all important ema. Invalidation is below 18540. bear case: Only hope for bears was the decent sell off on Friday for a quick -249 points in 1h which denied the market a daily close above 18700 for 29 trading days. Left shoulder from March/April high was 18836 and Friday’s high was 18822. Close is always close enough. They also see the two bull wedges we have formed and want a break to the downside. Their first target is a retest of Friday’s low 18575 which is almost the open of last week to the tick. If they manage to break below 18540, their next target is the daily 20ema at 18470 and that’s also close to the 50% pb for this whole trading range. Invalidation is a 1h close above 18800. outlook last week: short term: Can’t be anything but neutral again. Bears managed to stay below the daily 20ema but bulls bought the weekly 20ema. Trading range price action. Will get a breakout soon. → Last Sunday we traded 18417 and now we are at 18666. High of the week was 18822 and the low was 18190. Outlook was ok. Market closed 40ish points above the open of the week and we made new lows and new highs. Trading range price action, which is why I was and am neutral for this market. short term: Neutral. Higher highs, lower lows. Expanding triangle, form of trading range. 50% pb is 18439 and if bulls do not rally strongly on Monday, I will look for weakness and a pullback to 18450 or lower. medium-long term: 17000 over the next 3-6 Months and when we get there, I update again. —unchanged current swing trade: Nothing Chart update: Bear wave and trend line is gone and added bull wedges.

a weekly price action market recap and outlook - nvidia #5Good day and I hope you are well. Last time I talked about Nvidia was 2024-06-08 and Nvidia was at 120.8 and my targets were 130/140. We are after the stock split so it's time for an update. comment: Please check out my nvidia #4 post, to see how accurate it was. I wrote that once the W5 or third push up is done, we will see a 10-20 bars sideways to down correction. Since the first leg of the correction made 16% down, we can expect a second one, which would bring us to around 100$ (weekly 20ema is also there), which is an obvious magnet. There bulls can decide if they want to continue the bubble. current market cycle: If we break below 114, we are probably forming a trading range between 100 - 140. If bulls buy this up again, bull trend continues. key levels: 114 - 140 bull case: Everything as long as most bull trends hold. The big bull trend line is currently around 95 and bulls do not want a pullback that deep. They want this bubble to infinity and staying above the daily 20ema is crucial to do so. If they fail here, we will see 100$ soon. Having said all that again, it's a bubble and it will deflate. Maybe it already started and stock won't trade above 130 again for a long time. No one knows but the probable thing is a pullback to the weekly 20ema/100$ before market wants a retest of the ath. That can fail or even make a higher high before turning again. Invalidation is below 100. bear case: Parabolic wedge top broke to the downside but bulls still have 3 more bull trend lines as support. Bears are happy for now that they trapped all the bulls who bought above 130 and most stops will run around 115-118. Bears ultimately want to test the big bull trend line and the 100$ price. Thats a 40% drop and I wrote many times, that this stock will half again. Bears see the recent drop as strong enough for a second leg and the current trading range as a two legged sideways to up correction, which they want to break below from. Invalidation is above 130. short term: All bull targets are met and the ath will probably be tested. It's unsure if we get a second leg down first or after the retest. I slightly give it to the bears to push down to at least 117ish since the past days nasdaq & sp500 made new ath's while nvidia held below 130. Trapped bulls who bought above 130 will give up below 119 latest. medium-long term: Over the next 6 months we should see the 1000 price area again and 6-18 months we most likely will see 800-900 again. --unchanged current swing trade: Waiting for weakness on Monday and if bulls can't trade it back up, will do long term shorts for 100$.

#202427 - priceactiontds - weekly update - JPMGood Day and I hope you are well. JP Morgan / NYSE:JPM comment: Clear bull wedge, which means buyers at new highs taking profits and since it's the third push up, the probability of a two legged correction breaking below the wedge is decent. Market touched the weekly 20ema 2 times over the past 3 months and the third time will probably happen soon. We also have a decent rejection at 210, which gives you even better odds for a short. I do think longer term shorts can work well, if you can hold 4-6 months until price reaches 185ish. Quicker short for 195, which is the most recent breakout price, is the safer play obviously. Once market hits the C target, I expect a lower high and then some stronger down move to below 190 over the next 6-12 months. current market cycle: Bull trend which transitions into a trading range. key levels: 190 - 210 bull case: Bulls see this recent bull trend inside the wedge as strong enough for a third leg. A measured move from W3 would lead to 220. For that to happen they want to stay inside the tight bull channel and turn the market around here quickly. I do think if it drops below 200, that bull trend is over and the high is in or at least a double top would not exceed it by more than 1-3$. Bull Invalidation is below 200. bear case: Bears want to keep the upper wedge line as resistance and test back down to the lower one around 196ish. They sold the previous highs for a 10% and a 7% drop. 10% down would bring us to 190, which is suprisingly around the weekly 20ema. Coincidences or math? You decide for yourself. Bear Invalidation is above 215. short term: bearish - Two legged correction to at least 200 over the next weeks. medium-long term: bearish - Trading range 180-200, since we are at the highs, longer term shorts are reasonable. current swing trade: Short 205, sl 215, tp 200ish or the lower bull wedge line/weekly 20ema Have a good rest of your weekend and talk to you soon. If you enjoy my writings, please leave a boost or follow. Thank you and I wish your trading to be profitable.

KAVA PRICE ACTION TRADINGToday i will try to explain how to play with Kava in a simple way. - Remember always that in Cryptos are not easy as forex or stocks, because movements are always brutal. - The first step is always to detect the real trendline. - Detect 3 points. Bouncing Points, Rejection Points. - Some traders use only 2 points, but i am old style trader, so i really need 3 Points to Draw the trend. - Remove the abnormality ( FOMO and PANIC ) - Draw your line. - Now you will need to find PRICE ACTION AREAS. - Those areas can be easily detected by the price fluctuating for a long period of time in the same zone. - For KAVA right now we are fluctuating between $0.75-$1.25$ ( Price action zone 2) - Now you can draw your price action lines. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- METHOD 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - So to enter a position you need to understand that you never know if you are right, or if you are wrong. anyone have a magic ball. - The best way is to NEVER GO ALL IN. - Keep always more juice to rebuy if the market crash. - For exemple, you could try to enter KAVA Market at 0.75$ (invest 25%), in case of DIP to 0.5$ (re-inject 75%) ( this is very important!!) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- METHOD 2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Simple wait to see if KAVA will break out the Trendline - in that case you will need to wait the price to break out from triangle (Yellow Triangle) - Again never go all in, on a breakout, some breakout could be fakes. - Keep always Juice. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - More you will understand and detect price movements, supports, resistances, breakouts, more you will trade better. - Price action and trendline are the basic of trading. - indicators are complementary. PS : This method can also be applied by Shorting the market. ( just inverse everything ). - Happy Tr4Ding !

2024-06-24 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. overall market comment Indexes - No good news for the stock indexes. Dax and DJI closed green but dax ended US session still below the daily ema. Dow was rejected at the 40k mark, which was to be expected. Bulls will probably try that again tomorrow. SP500 and Nasdaq pulled back some more and bears finally closed a bear bar at the lows. In the overall scheme of things it’s just a minor pullback from a climactic blow off top. I have zero confidence in the bears that they can prevent the bulls from retesting the highs soon. Commodities were also uneventful. Oil bulls still doing their thing and keeping it in the bull channel, as I foretold in my weekly post. Gold printed a bull doji which keeps the market above the small bull support line on the daily chart but below the daily ema. More sideways price action expected for Gold. Will do a Bitcoin update tomorrow morning. Want to see if they sell it again hard in the Asia session. dax comment: Bulls tried and failed at 18500 and US session closed below 18400. Not looking good for the bulls currently. Doji on the daily, so I expect more sideways price action tomorrow. current market cycle: trading range key levels: 18000 - 18600 bull case: Bulls traded above 18500 and the EU session closed above it. The US session pulled it back below 18400, so it’s fair to say that we will see more choppy price action tomorrow. Bulls are still favored to retest above 18500 tomorrow, where their fate will be decided. If they fail again, we will go back to 18000 and if they break above, 18600 comes fast. The bull channel is still valid but Globex could trade sideways out of it. Invalidation is below 18300. bear case: Bears kept the market around last weeks close in the US session and they want to test back down to 18300. I have no opinion if we see 18300 or 18500 first tomorrow but I do think we will hit both. 18300 is also a 50% pullback from this recent rally. Invalidation is above 18540. short term: Neutral between 18380-18450. Bearish below, bullish above medium-long term: My long term outlook stays bearish and I expect at least a -20% correction in 2024. Medium term is 17100 while I think we can touch the big bull trend line starting 2022-10 around 16700 in 2024. —unchanged current swing trade: None trade of the day: Globex was bullish since bar 4 and saw an acceleration on bar 22+23. 23 was your entry bar for longs. If you weren’t, bar 29 with the open was strong enough so buy one tick on the follow through bar 30. Bar 67 was a huge bear surprise. Was 66 a reasonable short entry? You can but you would have shorted in a bull trend right at the 1h 20ema. You can take it since bar 66 was a decent signal bar but certainly not a trade of the day.

#202426 - priceactiontds - weekly update - oilGood Evening and I hope you are well. wti crude oil futures Quote from last week: bull case: Strong week by the bulls with 3 pushes up but still a lower high. Their next target is to get back above 80.22. Right now they have momentum going but big down, big up mostly creates confusion and that means trading range. Above 79.5 I will probably long for 80. They need to stay above 77 or odds favor a retest of the lows below 74. comment: Bulls just had amazing follow through since Monday and have bought everything on lower volume. The tight bull channel is valid and Monday or Tuesday could set up another good buying opportunity. I don’t think bears want to die on that 82 hill and bulls can bring this easily back to 82.5 or 84.5 where two upper bear trend lines run through. current market cycle: big trading range or smaller bull trend inside of it. Triangle is still playing out. key levels: 72-84 bull case: Another very strong week. Can only look for longs in oil currently, until bears show up again. Bulls had two big legs up and want a third one to around 83.5/84.5. The current pullback could continue 1-3 days before more up but bulls should not let it break the lower bull channel around 79.7ish Invalidation is below 79.5. bear case: Bears clearly see the pattern and only doing small intraday scalps until the market get’s nearer to either bear trend line as drawn. The big one started 2 years ago, so you can be sure, there will be a reaction. Not saying bears will be strong enough to reverse it directly but at least stall it around that price area. As of now, bulls are in full control and far above the daily ema. Don’t look for shorts unless strong momentum. Invalidation is above 82.1. outlook last week: “short term: Neutral right under the bear channel line and daily ema at 77.5. Can break to either side.” → Last Sunday we traded 78.45 and now we are at 80.73. Not a good outlook but I would always write the same. As strong as it was before last Monday, it was the high of the trading range and it could have been the top for some days. short term: More sideways to down movement expected (not much down, max 79.7ish) before bulls try the third leg up. Can’t be anything but bullish looking at this chart until bears build bigger selling pressure. medium-long term: We are seeing the big triangle playing out between 72 and 82/84. The high of the triangle got tested until mid of April and we have now tested the lows around 72.5. Market did indeed reversed hard over the past 3 weeks and we are almost at the top of the triangle again, where I expect more sideways movement until one side clearly wins again. Odds favor the bears if they stay below 85. current swing trade: None chart update: Bear channel was clearly broken and therefore removed. Tight bull channel with a 5-wave series added.

#202426 - priceactiontds - weekly update - bitcoinGood Evening and I hope you are well. bitcoin Quote from last week: comment: Currently my favorite market to trade and comment on because I’m hittin dem swings big time. And because btc permabullz are entertaining and salty af. Market is clearly trading down again and they shout from the rooftops that we will print 80/100k soon. In all seriousness. Clear trading range 65000 - 72000. Currently in a smaller down trend probably to touch the bull trend line around 65000 and then maybe back up to test the upper triangle trend line around 67000 again. Bear channel and triangle, both patterns are in play currently. 66000 continues to be big support so it will take something to break through. If we do break below, 61000 is next. comment: Guess what. Anyone looking at this chart who tells you to buy for anything higher than 66000 is a permabull in denial. The last time a daily bull bar closed above its midpoint was almost 3 weeks ago. The bull trend line from 2024-02 is clearly broken. Market touched the weekly 20ema and bounced some but bulls could not get any follow through, what so ever. Bears are not that strong either tbh, just grinding this down. At some point one side will give up for a huge drop/bounce. Until bulls can make higher highs above 66500 again, you should not be looking to buy this imo. So what’s next? I expect more sideways to up movement until we reach the upper bear channel and/or the daily ema gain, where I will look for shorts again. Targets below are 61000 and if that does not hold, 56000-58000 is next. current market cycle: trading range until clear break below 56000. It’s also a smaller weak bear trend inside that big trading range key levels: 62000 - 67000 small range / 56000 - 74000 (big range) bull case: Bulls tried to find a double bottom on Monday around 65000 but bears just kept at it on Tuesday and every bull bar the bulls produce on the daily is a doji or is closing below it’s midpoint. They want to touch the upper bear channel again and maybe the daily ema around 66000 but I don’t think they can get above 65000. Invalidation is below 63000. bear case: Bear want the bulls to finally give up and produce some big bear bars closing on their lows for targets below 60000. The selling get’s weaker and it’s just a slow grind down. Best trades are currently shorts near the 4h 20ema. Odds clearly favor the bears to break stronger to the downside, than bulls breaking above the channel. Invalidation is above 67000. short term: Neutral between 63300 - 65500. Expecting sideways to up movement in this range before another try to push this down harder to 60000 or 57000. medium-long term: Down to 50000 (could take 3-6 months). Longer term than that time frame, I don’t know. Could also drop to 30000 again but let’s make 40000 first and see how many want to buy there. —Adjusted 40000 to 50000 and 40000 to 30000 because we are staying so long up here above 60000. current swing trade: None chart update: Removed longer waves and just focusing on this bear channel and how market behaves around 63000 over the next 1-2 days. Will update the daily chart again when we see a bigger move.

#202426 - priceactiontds - weekly update - sp500 e-mini futuresGood Day and I hope you are well. sp500 e-mini futures Quote from last week: bear case: What do the bears have going for them? Nothing and if anything, pure speculation and low probability stuff. The chart is showing multiple wedges, we are clearly in multiple third pushes up (W5) and volume is drying up. Once the institutions begin taking profits on the magnificent 7, we will see big moves down to end the trend and enter a trading range. The bull trend line around 5300 will be hit in the next 2-4 weeks and afterwards I think we will form a lower high before we will be on our way to 5000 again. As of now I think bears want to see a big climactic bull bar to 5600 before they begin shorting again. comment: Market did exactly what I wrote in my last bear case sentence. Climactic bull bar on Monday with some follow through Tuesday and Wednesday to almost 5600 and then a pullback. Bulls touched the big upper bull trend line which began on 2023-02-02. Bears broke below the very tight bull channel but just so slightly and with tails below the daily bars. I expect the market to retest the highs again before another second leg down, which could then form into a decent pullback, like the one we had in April. Market sentiment is max bullishness from everyone everywhere and the posts about “this time it’s different” have become common. It’s the fomo phase where your Mother asks if she should buy some Nvidia stocks. current market cycle: End of the bull trend is near. Will soon see a bigger pullback. key levels: 5400 - 5600 bull case: Bulls will probably retest the highs or even make a higher high soon. First pullbacks / low 1, is a buy signal in a bull trend. After that retest, I - again, have nothing for the bulls. We are at the peak of this bubble imo and that’s where you get cautious and not even more bullish. Nvidia will touch 100 over the next weeks, if not days. Invalidation is below 5400. bear case: The profit taking has begun imo. All bullish targets are met and we are trading at multiple upper resistance lines and prices. The daily ema is 80 points away and will get tested soon. Bears see the 3 pushes up from end of May and now want a decent pullback to the bull trend line around 5400, wich is also the breakout retest. Invalidation is above 5620. outlook last week: No interest in buying here unless it’s a momentum scalp. I will look for weakness and a trade back to a test of the daily 20ema which is around 5400. Bulls are still heavily favored in terms of probability. → Last Sunday we traded 5502 and now we are at 5534. New ath was 5587, so my outlook was good for 85 points. You. Are. Most. Welcome. Compare that to Newsletters who cost 130$ per month and include planetary constellations in their market analysis. short term: Don’t get too bearish too soon. You never want to try to pick a top or a bottom. Let the big bois with endless money do that for you and follow along. Expecting another push for retest of the highs, followed by another leg down, as painted in my chart. medium-long term: Bull trend is in the last legs and this will soon pull back much further and form a big trading range. I gave 5600 months ago and we are close enough to it or will touch it next week. Afterwards the money is made on the downside. 5300 over the next 1-2 weeks, followed by 5000 over the summer. current swing trade: None but will enter new shorts next week. Chart update: This is my best guess on how the next 3-9 months will play out. Two-legged correction down to 5000 over the next 4-8 weeks, followed by a last lower high before the next big bear trend will begin. That’s only price-wise but not time wise. Could get there much faster or much slower.Update: slightly adjusted the bigger two legged correction and added a smaller one.

#202426 - priceactiontds - weekly update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. dax cfd Quote from last week: bull case: Bulls see it as a small pullback and a sell vacuum on Friday to the big round support 18000. They want to create the same reversal as they did on 2024-04-19 with a 2% up day. The pullback in late March and April was 13 days long while we are in a 21 day long pullback. Bulls also argue that this is the first touch of the weekly 20ema since 2023-11 when we sliced through and have not touched it once since. Trends tend to test the extreme after the trend line is broken. I have absolutely no confidence in the bears to crash from here on, without at least a retest of the bull trend line at around 18300. If bears manage to close the gap to 17100, I am obviously wrong. comment: Sell vacuum theory was spot on. Bears printed 2 big good looking bars right to huge support and got no follow through. Bulls used it to trade back at least to the daily ema and 2/3 of the move. Huge price level around 18400/18450 with the ema. Bulls want above to test upper expanding triangle around 18600 and bears want a bigger second leg down to 17600. Both completely valid arguments and I will wait for a clear breakout before following. current market cycle: trading range - go look at the monthly chart. It’s a clear 4 month trading range. —unchanged key levels: small range 17600 / 18500 bull case: Bulls already had 2 pushes up in this pullback and they want a third one to around 18600. Their first target is a 1h close above the daily ema 18430. Invalidation is below 18260. bear case: I do think bears last chance here at the daily ema or they risk another bull leg to 18600. I think the odds are 50/50 for either side on Monday/Tuesday. Bears see this as a higher pullback in the new steeper bear trend that started 2023-06-13 with the two big bear bars. If they fail, market will spend more time in the range 18000-18600. Invalidation is a 1h close above 18460. outlook last week: “short term: Neutral. Please read on so you know why and how I will trade it. So bears are in control. Below all ema and really big red bars and all red bars for 5 weeks. I’m still not shorting right at 18000. That’s insane. Can we go lower on momentum to 17600? Yes. Will I short it? Bet. R:R here is on the bull side if they build buying pressure and get follow through. Until all of that I am neutral.” → Last Sunday we traded 18016 and now we are at 18367. High of the week was 18448 so that outlook was as good as it gets. Hope you made some. short term: Neutral again. Need to see a clear winner here at the daily 20ema for the next direction. medium-long term: 17000 over the next 3-6 Months and when we get there, I update again. current swing trade: None but will look for weakness on Monday/Tuesday for another big leg down. Sp500 and Nasdaq have to also be weak for that. Chart update: No bigger updates on my chart. Green two legged correction (ABC) was spot on and is still valid.

2024-06-20 - a daily price action after hour update - sp500Good Evening and I hope you are well. sp500 e-mini futures comment: Interesting trading day to say the least. Globex rallied 27 points to 5587 where it stalled for couple of hours and then before US opened the floodgates were opened. Just strong selling throughout the day with huge bull spikes in between. Bears accomplished a drop of 23 points from open to close, that’s just weak but Globex high to daily low was 62 points. The 15m 20ema was decent today and bulls kept it above the important bull trend line and still far above the daily ema which is at 5450, so 100 points to go. Market has formed a triangle at the lows, which will probably just break out sideways in the Globex and EU session. Since tomorrow is Globex, I have no opinion on where we close the week tbh. Rough guess is at least a close below 5560 but I prefer a close below the bull trend line and below 5500 but that’s low probability. current market cycle: Max bullishness & peak bubble territory. Literally the peakiest of the peaks. Mother of all bubbles. Will end over the next weeks. —unchanged key levels: 5500 - 5600 bull case: Bulls want to stay above 5540 which is my big orange support line. If they fail here, they will most likely also fail at the bull trend line and then 5480/5500 will come fast. Bulls bought every new low today and made money on lower time frames but they could not close above the 15m 20ema. That will be their first target for tomorrow and then above the 1h ema. I expect a pullback tomorrow and depending on how strong it is, another leg down or total melt up to 5600 into opex. Invalidation is below 5520. bear case: Bears had a decent day today. Naturally they want a second leg down, which would bring us to around 5460/5470, which would be my preferred close of this week. Since we are at bigger support, I don’t have much confidence in the bears. Need to see tomorrows price action in EU session. Invalidation is above 5560. short term: Neutral here between 5520 - 5560, bullish above and bearish below medium-long term: Bearish. We will see 5000 over the next weeks again and 4600 over the next 12 months. Will update this time and price wise over the weekend but I expect to at least see 5000 over the next months in 2024. —updated weeks to months. current swing trade: None trade of the day: Shorting every pullback near the 15m ema was decent.

2024-06-18 - a daily price action after hour update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. overall market comment Indexes had their expected trading range price action today. Mostly what happens after huge days. Markets are in balance here, which is good for the bulls. Commodities also all green today. Oil is grinding to 81/82 while Gold is moving sideways under the daily 20ema. I expect Oil to pull back soon and my preferred path for Gold is a break below the triangle and 2300 for another big leg down. dax comment: Well, what did we learn today? Not much tbh. It’s still a bear flag and bears keeping it below 18200, which is bearish. My target was at least 18300 for the bulls. Daily ema is at 18450 and that’s also where the bull trend line is for a retest of the breakout. All good targets above but for now, bears are in full control. Bulls need a good 1h bar close above 18200 for higher prices. You won’t find many new info’s below compared to yesterday. current market cycle: probably bear trend if the pullback stays under 18300/18360 key levels: 18000 - 18400 bull case: Bulls need a good 1h bar close above 18200 for higher prices. Not much more magic to it. If we trade below 18080, we test 18000 again. Invalidation is below 18080. bear case: Bears are finding acceptance below 18200, which is very bearish. They are in full control and probably letting the daily ema come closer to attract new bears for another leg below 18000. Invalidation is above 18360. short term: neutral. Market is in balance here until breakout above 18200 or below 18080 medium-long term: My long term outlook stays bearish and I expect at least a -20% correction in 2024. Medium term is 17100 while I think we can touch the big bull trend line starting 2022-10 around 16700 in 2024. —unchanged current swing trade: None trade of the day: Yeah good question. So the open of the week was 18098 and y close was 18084. Good support area for longs. So buying the double bottom bar 33 + 49 was reasonable. Short from the open was also good because it was too strong to not get short and the upper bull channel line held.
