NVDA | Trade PlanPrice was successfully bouncing off of EMA support until now
I drew out the major pathways of pivot for a better understanding of what price will most likely do next
As we analyze these pivots you'll notice that buyer become weaker in each wave giving sellers the opportunity for deeper corrections
The last wave (3) had a correction so deep that it basically used the top of wave 2 for support (SnR)
Seeing this will give us the idea that sellers will most likely look to head back to that major pivot as wave 4 barley made a Higher High creating divergence, and has already broke below the high of the last wave
The next steps I would like to see price action inch its way up to somewhat fill the gap above to only see further selling towards $100 - $97 area.
Note:
This is a price action/wave analysis, the purpose of doing this is to have another perspective without having to rely on a chart pattern
When we look at it this way we can have a better anticipation on what buyers are going to do next.
Priceaction
XRP | Bull Flag ContinuationPrice action successfully holding up above liquidity after breaking out from $2.80
As this retest develops it looks like we're forming a bull flag for a continuation towards $4.35 and then to see another rip onwards on the high side of the parallel channel with a second target of around $5.50.
2025-01-29 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Not much news. Trade the bull channel until broken. I won’t try to pick the top again.
current market cycle: bull trend
key levels: 21400 - 22000
bull case: Bulls next targets are 21800, 900 and the next big number 22000. We are in a clear bull channel and bulls are in full control. Longs closer to the 1h 20ema are printing, so trade them until they stop working.
Invalidation is below 21400.
bear case: Bears doing absolutely nothing right now. Below 20400 we would have clearly broken out of the channel and best bears could hope for then is sideways to down movement to 21200. For now I don’t think you should even thinking about shorting any of this.
Invalidation is above 22100.
short term: Bullish on pull-backs and target 21800 and then 22000. Still only scalps though.
medium-long term from 2024-01-20: Market hit 21k and now it’s about being patient until we sell-off again.
current swing trade: None.
trade of the day: Buy anywhere.
2025-01-29 - priceactiontds - daily update - bitcoinGood Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Bullish day but still below 105k. Above 105k bulls have no more bigger resistance until 109k but for now the triangle is still valid. It’s not a strong trend or the bars would not overlap so much. Was the move up after the FOMC release from 101600 to 104000 the start of a bigger leg up? Could be. Invalidation for bears is a print above the beginning of the bear leg at 105k. As long as we stay below, bears are ok and we continue sideways inside the triangle.
current market cycle: trading range
key levels: 98k - 109k
bull case: Bulls broke higher after 4 consecutive bearish days but we are still inside the triangle. They closed every bar above the daily 20ema since 14th and that means they are still somewhat favored to move higher. The buying after FOMC was strong enough to expect a second leg up. I do think they need to hold above 103k for that.
Invalidation is below 103k.
bear case: Bears only target is to defend the strong leg down which started at 105k to keep the market at lower highs. Above 105k most have to give up and try to short again higher. Market has not made lower lows since Monday, so bears do not have much going for them here. Best they can hope for is to stay inside the triangle and go sideways.
Invalidation is above 105k.
short term: Neutral 101k - 104k, bullish above 105k and bearish only below 100k.
medium-long term: 75000 is my biggest target for now and until bears get there, any lower target is just unreasonable. My bias is bearish going into 2025 and I think the odds of a bigger leg down are good.
current swing trade: None.
trade of the day: Buying the FOMC low around 101600 or earlier since market printed 3 consecutive bull bars already. Stop had to be 100k anyway.

✅ RSI Overbought? The RSI is approaching overbought conditions, meaning a short-term consolidation could occur.
✅ MACD Crossover Incoming? A bullish MACD crossover is forming, reinforcing the upward momentum.
⚡ What’s Next?
If gold holds above the 50% FIB level and breaks $2,765. with strong volume, a push toward $2,825+ could be in play. However, failure to hold this breakout could trigger a pullback to $2.700 or lower.

🚨 This is not financial advice. Always do your own research before making trading decisions.
NVDA | Distribution Pattern to $97Follow up to the rising wedge pattern
After seeing price bounce off of trendline support 4 times then to finally breakout we could see the next moves sell off towards the discount zone
To add more confluence to this setup we're looking at the difference between price and indication and it's signaling a selloff based on divergence and the medium blue signal re-entering the 80/20 channel forecast bearish momentum stepping into play
I'm eyeing targets around $97 and the possibility of seeing movement back towards major resistance ($152) to re-confirm price structure for any further selling beyond $97
Stay posted for any major updates on price action.
#POSSIBLE CONDITIONSMarket Outlook for Tomorrow:💯
As we dive into today’s 4H analysis, two possible scenarios unfold:
1:Rejection at the Recent Selling Zone (2654 - 2665): If the market faces resistance here, we
could see a pullback, with price potentially dropping towards 2725.
2:Breaking the First Zone: Alternatively, the market might liquidate its first zone and then face a fresh sell-off from the second key selling area.
Always use stoploss for your trade.
Always use proper money management and proper risk to reward ratio.

comment: Bears fumbled again, who could have known. Can’t hold the full bear mode when seeing this price action. Weak wedge rally up to ath now with decent sell spikes in between. Don’t try to pick the top. Let the market show you clearly it wants to go down again, like it did on Friday. Until then, long pull-backs because market is just going up.
current market cycle: bull trend
key levels: 21300 - 22000
bull case: Bulls want a new ath and print 21700. If bears step aside enough, we could actually get to 22000. The bull wedge is the pattern to trade until clearly broken. I doubt bulls will let this drop below 21500 before we see 21700. My second target is 21800 and last one is the obvious 22000. No idea where this might turn again but for now you should not think about bigger shorts.
Invalidation is below 21400.
bear case: Bears sold new highs but that’s about it. The bull wedge is broad enough for both sides to make money. Will we see bigger selling above 21600 tomorrow? I doubt it. Bears can only really think about bigger shorts if we break below 21500. If you have too many bearish thoughts, just look for more time at the daily dax xetra chart. Should go away then.
Invalidation is above 21700.
short term: Bullish on pull-backs and target 21700 or higher. Only scalps though. I still think this will crash at least 20% over the next months but for now I am not willing to risk being wrong about the top and having to scale in 500-1000 points higher.
medium-long term from 2024-01-20: Market hit 21k and now it’s about being patient until we sell-off again.
current swing trade: None.
trade of the day: Buying any dip or selling any new high. Sounds way easier than done but that’s what happened today. Market respect the trend lines perfectly. Show those charts to people who say technical analysis is whatever.
2025-01-28 - priceactiontds - daily update - nasdaqGood Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Bulls won the decision again and we are on our way to close the gap to 21900 and likely print 22k again. It would be a huge surprise if the gap would stay open. Tomorrow is FOMC and it could be good for a huge surprise to either side. No matter what, I will be flat going into it. Decent looking bull wedge up now and I expect a better pull-back to maybe the 1h 20ema before we can have more upside tomorrow. Dips should stay above 21400.
current market cycle: trading range
key levels: 21400 - 22000
bull case: Bulls took control again after the nasty bear trap on the US open. They are once again in full control and their next targets are 21700, gap close to 21900 and then obviously 22k. The breakout retest is 21420 and any pull-back should stay above or this could become something else.
Invalidation is below 21400.
bear case: Bears sold the double top 21420 for a decent 200+ point sell-off but bulls were having none of it afterwards. Bears had to give up and we are on our way up again. Best bears can hope for is to scalp 50-100 points on new highs. Bears really have nothing here. Jpow could help but until then I expect market to trade much higher already.
Could this move up become a lower high below 22000 or could the gap to 21900 stay open? Obviously yes but for now the buying is strong and I don’t want to hold swing shorts when bulls are in full control again. No matter how amazing the selling on Monday was.
Invalidation is above 21900.
short term: Bullish on pull-backs. Bears fumbled it again and next target is the gap close to 21900.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-01-27: High’s are most likely in. Any short with stop 22200 is good. I’d like to see 20000 over the next 2-3 weeks.
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Buying the bear trap around 21200 once it turned violently to the upside. Market could not get below 21100 which was a warning to the bears, that we are printing higher lows after higher highs.
USD/CHF | Bearish Season IncomingHigher timeframes (3-Day+) are at a nice resistance zone to see short plays only as we head into the next season
We got a ~600 pip swing but first I'd like to see maybe one more long position back to the main resistance zone for a high sell entry up top and then scaling in as price falls after more confirmation and price development
Trend Reader is looking nice too as its in the overbought zone signaling a bearish play to come with clear divergence
The blue EMA at around 150-Days also acts as good dynamic Support/Resistance to help confirm that flipside once price looks to break below with a rejected pullback.
2025-01-27 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Perfect selling down to 21200 but the pull-back is tough for bears. Futures would need to immediately sell-off from 21500 to keep the bear case alive but above 21520 we print a new ath and maybe some more. Only below 21400 one can be bearish again.
current market cycle: bull trend but could have ended today. market needs to print a lower high around 21500 and sell-off hard again.
key levels: 21000 - 21700
bull case: Bulls prevented a really bad day and closed the gap at least in the US session. Very important day tomorrow. Ff they can keep it above 21400, we could see more upside but I doubt it will get much beyond 21644 if we get there at all. On the daily tf it looks like a perfect retest of the bull trend line we broke above last Wednesday.
Invalidation is below 21000.
bear case: Bears have to keep this below 21500 or we see more upside. RTH close was 21392 and futures open has to be bearish af to keep the bear case alive. Got nothing more for the bears here. Either continue to the downside now or we will stay at the highs for longer and likely make new ones.
Invalidation is above 21500.
short term: Neutral. Need to see futures open and if bears can keep it below 21500. Bullish above and bearish only below 21400.
medium-long term from 2024-01-20: Market hit 21k and now it’s about being patient until we sell-off again.
current swing trade: None.
trade of the day: Selling before EU open or buying EU open. The open was neutral enough to not short the hole and longs were fine once we strongly broke above 21300.
2025-01-27 - priceactiontds - daily update - nasdaqGood Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Huge gap down on Globex open and market just sold off. We retraced about 50% and now it’s decision time again. Bears need to keep it below 21500 for a retest of 21000 or lower and bulls want the megaphone to continue and squeeze the shorts to death. Above 21500 no bear can hold short and we will most likely see acceleration upwards. I favor the bears if we stay below the 1h 20ema. For now we are in a trading range 21100 - 21400 until clearly broken.
current market cycle: trading range
key levels: 20000 - 22200
bull case: Bulls prevented a bloodbath and had a nasty reversal from 20763 for a 600 point bounce. They need a strong 1h close above 21350 if they want higher prices.
Invalidation is below 21100.
bear case: Bears need to keep it below 21500 or more bulls will join the party again. The longer we can keep the big gap from 21908 down to 21400ish open, the better for the bears and more bulls will give up, hoping for 22000 again. The low of last week was 21370 and the bounce got up to 21395. Close is always close enough. Bears remain in control of the market until we see a big 1h close above the 20ema and 21400. For now this is just a two-legged pull-back to the ema, so bears really need to defend this and not fumble a great setup again.
Invalidation is above 21500.
short term: Bearish against the 1h 20ema, which is around the 50% retracement. 21000 will get retested and maybe the lows as well.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-01-27: High’s are most likely in. Any short with stop 22200 is good. I’d like to see 20000 over the next 2-3 weeks.
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Shorting anywhere above 21500 or buying below 20900 during the big spike down from 21140 to 20763. The spike down came after nasdaq had already made a 700+ point down move and those spikes are most likely the intermediate bottom and we see a pullback because bears needed to reduce risk and take some of those windfall profits.

#202504 - priceactiontds - weekly update - wti crude oil futuresGood Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: We have a first decent pull-back and so far every dip buyer lost money. We are at the daily 20ema and missed the breakout price by 4 ticks. I think the odds favor the bulls to get another leg up and try 80 again. 5 consecutive daily bear bars is a bear micro channel and buying into this is a bad buy. Bulls will probably wait for more confirmation first. So best thing to do here is nothing. If the bulls get another leg up, I highly doubt they will get anything beyond 80, if they make it that far. The market would have never pulled-back that much in a strong trend.
current market cycle: trading range - on lower time frames it’s also obviously a bull trend
key levels: 73 - 80
bull case: Bulls have their do or die moment around 74. Below 73 this rally is over and we will aim for 67 much more than 80. A strong bullish daily bar could shift the momentum again and another try at reaching 80. Above the 4h 20ema and probably 76, this becomes a decent long again. I would wait for that confirmation before joining the bulls.
Invalidation is below 73.
bear case: Bears printed an endless pull-back down from 79.45 and the 4h 20ema was big resistance for the entire week. If bears just keep at it, we can continue all the way down from where we started end of December but if bulls gain momentum and go above 76, I doubt many bears want to hold short in fear of going to 80.
Invalidation is above 80.
short term: Neutral. I need confirmation for either side before I want to take a trade. The 4h and 1h is on the bear side and the daily looks still bullish enough for me to now want to get chopped around between 73 - 76.
medium-long term - Update from 2025-01-19: Triangle is dead and market is now in a proper trading range with upside to 80 or even 85.
current swing trade: None
chart update: Nothing.
#202504 - priceactiontds - weekly update - sp500Good Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Bulls got another two bigger legs up which now makes it 5. Question now is, how likely is a continuation before a deeper pull-back? I do think Friday’s price action could have been the start of a wider profit taking by more bulls but until the bull channel is clearly broken and we have traded consecutive bars below the 4h 20ema, it won’t mean much. In the past 3 months we had very strong looking legs up, followed by deep pull-backs and we have not made a meaningful higher high since 2024-11-11. It’s reasonable to assume that we can hit 6200 before turning but I have big doubts about more upside beyond.
current market cycle: trading range
key levels: 5800 - 6200
bull case: Bulls made 140 points on the week with 5 clear legs up. Buying above 6130 is just bad no matter how you put it. Scalps ok but we have been in this trading range for 3 months now. Bulls want to print another ath and 6200 is the logical target. As long as the bull channel holds, they are favored and in control. Once we start closing gaps below again, more bulls will likely take profits.
Invalidation is below 5790.
bear case: Bears didn’t do much the past week but we are at big resistance again and shorts are great from a risk:reward perspective. The upside potential is probably limited to 6200/6300 but the downside is clear with 5800. For now you can only short this if you are willing to scale in higher, otherwise you have to wait for better selling pressure and a break of the bull trend line.
Invalidation is above 6300.
short term: Neutral 6100 - 6200, bearish below for 6000 and depending on how we get there, either wait for a lower high or we might continue down.
medium-long term - Update from 2025-01-26: Ultimately 5200-5300 in 2025. For now we are stuck in a range 5800 - 6200.
current swing trade: None
chart update: Adjusted targets and added the current bull channel and two big gaps.
#202504 - priceactiontds - weekly update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: By full bear mode I don’t mean you just short 21394 and hope for the best. You wait for selling pressure first. Friday we got some decent selling pressure to the 1h 20ema which held since Tuesday. I expect another leg up first before we break below 21300. We have left behind 4 consecutive bull gaps and on Friday we saw the first one close immediately. This buying was as climactic and unsustainable as it get’s and having those this late in a trend is more often the end than the beginning of a new leg up. Can this go to 22000 before it goes to 20000 again? 10% if you ask me but that’s just a guess and as good as anyone’s.
current market cycle: Bull trend (very climactic move last week, market needs to take a breather or will outright crumble again)
key levels: 20500 - 21800
bull case: Bulls are in full control. This has not changed since the big breakout on Wednesday. They are still trading above the 1h and higher tf 20ema and until we break below, they remain in full control. Problem for the bulls is the climactic unsustainable nature of the move, very late in a trend. Everyone know’s it’s a suckers rally/short squeeze but that does never matter and they can just continue higher. We could easily test down to 20500 with a quick 1-3 day move, so bulls need to think about taking profits. Many will exit when market begins to stall because the up move was basically down above the 1h 20ema and once we break below, that premise is gone and I doubt many want to risk 500 points in hope to print 22000.
Invalidation is below 20500.
bear case: Bears know that the dax has not been this expensive for 25 years and want blood. The odds are decent that we go down at least 2000 points over the next weeks and bigger bears begin to scale into shorts at this high because the market broke above 2 bullish patterns and the odds of that happening this late in a trend are low. Bears finally closed a gap and now they need follow-through below the 1h 20ema. First target is to retest the high of the previous gap 21162 and see if bulls want to defend it. There is also the 4h 20ema around that price and those will be 2 big magnets early next week. My preferred path forward would be a very quick move down to 20500 to retest the breakout price and the bull trend line. There I expect buyers to come around big time.
Invalidation is above 22200.
short term: Neutral if we stay above the 1h ema. Once below, I want to see 21162 and then 21000. If we stay above, I will long scalp for 21500 and maybe 21600 and will look for shorts there.
medium-long term from 2024-01-25: No more bullish talk. Full bear mode.
current swing trade: Soon.
chart update: Marked new targets for both sides.
ETC On Vital Trendline Retracement !Ethereum Classic (ETC/USDT) is showing promising signs of bullish momentum following its breakout from a descending triangle formation. The price is currently consolidating above the trendline, indicating that the breakout level is holding as a strong support. This consolidation phase often precedes the next leg of a price movement, as the market builds strength for a potential continuation.
At the current price of $27, Ethereum Classic appears to be in a retesting phase. This is a critical moment where the price tests the breakout level to confirm it as support. Successfully holding this level would reinforce the validity of the breakout and provide confidence for further upward movement.
A significant factor to watch here is volume. A notable spike in trading volume would signal strong buying pressure, which could drive the price higher. If this occurs, the next resistance to overcome lies around $31, and surpassing that could lead ETC toward the $35 to $40 range, based on historical price action and the measured move from the triangle breakout.
If the price fails to maintain support above the $25.50-$27 range, it could lead to a deeper pullback, invalidating the bullish scenario. This makes the current consolidation phase a crucial moment for traders to watch.
Ethereum Classic is positioned for a potential upward move, provided it holds above the trendline and volume supports the breakout. Patience and vigilance are key as the market awaits a decisive push.
Learn What is Higher High, Higher Low, Lower Low, Lower High
In this educational article, we will discuss the foundation of price action analysis: the concepts of highs and lows.
In order to grasp that concept, you should learn to perceive the price chart as the sequence of zigzags .
Depending on the direction of the market and the shape of these zigzags, its peaks will be called differently. There are 6 types of them that you should learn to recognize.
1️⃣ Equal Highs (EH).
The peaks of bullish moves will be called equal highs, if they perfectly respect the same level (resistance), retracing from that and not managing to break above.
Above is the example of equal highs on Gold chart on a daily.
2️⃣ Equal Lows (EL).
The peaks of bearish moves will be called equal lows, if they perfectly respect the same level (support), bouncing from that and not managing to break below.
Find perfect equal lows on USDCAD on the chart above.
3️⃣ Higher High (HH).
The peak of a bullish move will be called Higher High, if the price manages to violate the previous high after a retracement.
Look at a perfect sequence of higher highs on NZDUSD.
4️⃣ Lower Low (LL).
The peak of a bearish move will be called Lower Low, if the price manages to violate the previous low after a pullback.
Trading in a strong bearish trend, NZDCAD keeps updating lower lows on a daily.
5️⃣ Higher Low (HL).
The peak of a bearish move will be called Higher Low if, after a retracement from the high, the price manages to set a low that is higher than the previous low.
Back to the example on NZDUSD. Not only the price updates the higher highs but also the higher lows.
6️⃣ Lower High (LH).
The peak of a bullish movement will be called Lower High if, after a pullback from the low, the price sets a high that is lower than the previous high.
That's how EURJPY acted on a daily, setting 2 nice lower highs.
Why these terms are so important?
Because, firstly, you can apply them to objectively identify the market trend.
Secondly, all the price action patterns are based on a combination of these highs and lows.
You should learn these terms by heart, and you should learn to perceive the price chart as the sequence of zigzags, with a strict designation of each peak.

Bitcoin at a Crossroads Will $104K Support Hold the Line ?Bitcoin/USDT market, where price action is confined within a symmetrical triangle pattern. This pattern reflects a period of consolidation and market indecision, as buyers and sellers are evenly matched, leading to a narrowing price range. The eventual breakout from such a formation is often significant, as it indicates the market's chosen direction.
A notable observation on the chart is the fakeout above the upper trendline. The price briefly moved past this resistance but failed to hold, retreating back into the triangle. This suggests weak bullish momentum or strong resistance, possibly trapping early buyers and increasing volatility as these positions are unwound.
Bitcoin's movement has also impacted altcoins. The retreat within the triangle appears to have triggered another round of declines in altcoin prices. Given Bitcoin's dominance in the crypto market, its stability and direction often dictate broader market trends. A decisive move by Bitcoin is critical for a potential recovery in altcoins.
The $104,000 level serves as a crucial support area in the current scenario. A breakdown below this support could lead to intensified selling pressure, with the next potential targets around $102,000 and $100,000. On the other hand, if this level holds, it could act as a foundation for another attempt to break above the triangle's resistance. This would restore market confidence and likely initiate a rally.
There are two potential outcomes. A bullish breakout above the triangle, supported by strong volume, could spark upward momentum and drive altcoin prices higher. The measured move target for such a breakout would typically equal the height of the triangle projected upward. Alternatively, if Bitcoin fails to hold $104,000, the bearish scenario would see a breakdown below the lower trendline, resulting in a deeper correction.
Volume analysis is essential in this context. A genuine breakout is often accompanied by significant trading volume, while low-volume moves are more likely to reverse or fail. Traders should remain cautious, especially as the price approaches the apex of the triangle, where volatility tends to spike.
Bitcoin's price action is also influenced by external factors such as market sentiment, news events, and broader macroeconomic conditions. Considering these elements alongside the chart structure is essential for a comprehensive analysis. Traders should wait for a confirmed breakout above or below the triangle before taking directional positions, with stop-losses in place to manage risk effectively.
