Pullbacktrade
GBPUSD - Potential Pullback & Extension Extension -- Pullback -- Extension -- Pullback, that's how the markets move. After the current extension higher on the GBPUSD the next opportunity to buy (unless you're a breakout trader) is waiting for price to pullback into previous structure and then looking to catch a pullback trade in anticipation of a move higher.
IF price continues higher THEN I would project a move to the $1.31 -$1.32 price points.

Long on POR on PullbackPOR has been trending in the upwards direction for quite a while now. It appears to have some excellent volume support on the way up. Where as downward moves result in a reduction in volume. POR has been respecting the 20 EMA for quite sometime and formed a bullish candle today a with the lows at the 20 EMA. POR also has a zacks rank of 2 (buy) which is a good enough rank for a swing trade. It has beaten earnings estimates over the last 4 quarters. It also has a cool 3.14% dividend yield which isn't too bad for some our longer term holders. POR has an ATR of 0.67 at this time which means it wont be making any drastic moves unless something big happens. I will stay in for a couple days to a couple weeks.

DXY - TRADING THE PULLBACKThe skill of technical analysis can be used on any market and on any timeframe and today i wanted to show you an example of this on the US Dollar Index
Recently the DXY has violated a previous level of structure breaking to the upside. As we begin to get some dollar relief we're seeing a retracement back into the level of the initial breakout. For those looking to get long this is the perfect opportunity to start looking for opportunities.
A hold of the 94 level would be ideal, but as long as we don't violate 93.20's I'll be holding on to my bullish bias.
EURJPY 4hr - Double Bottom Now Moving Up To Previous StructureAfter a fantastic day of trading yesterday, we're looking to have the potential for another today as I have 6 out of the 9 pairs in my trading portfolio on my watchlist.
On the EURJPY chart above, we've just completed a double bottom pattern and my next projection for price is a move up to the 128.50-1.2950 level where we see our previous structure resistance. If you didn't catch the double bottom there are still a few ways to involve yourself in this opportunity, one being a retest of that double bottom, which is something we often call a 2618.
I'm excited to see so much action as we creep into the dog days of summer, and with a new kid on the way any day now, i'm excited for life in general.
As always i wish you guys a great trading week! And remember this IS NOT a trading signal simply my view of the market.

Buy HLX on the pullbackI bought this on today's close. This stock is in nice uptrend and recently experienced a nice pullback to the 50% Fibonacci retracement level. It is also consolidating very nicely at this level. There was also a nice increase in volume today to support the move. I could have waited for a bullish conformation but all other factors are good so I entered early for a better risk reward ratio. There is also some previous significance at this price level as I have highlighted in yellow. HLX was also recently upgraded by Zacks.com to rank 1 strong buy. My Risk reward on this trade is 1 to 2 on first profit taker and 1 to 3 on second profit taker.
US majors setup for a 2.5~3% pullback. Be prepared!Get ready for it. I might be 2~5 days early, but I don't think so. Get ready for a 2.5~3% pullback in the markets and get ready for the VIX to shoot higher over the next few weeks. Support exists in the market that will hold for another leg higher - but this is likely a top setup that is about to exhaust itself and collapse about 3% (targeting support) before attempting another rally.
The US market has legs to move higher, but this extended run, recently, has exhausted itself. Smart traders will pull profits here and prepare for a mild pullback. When this move happens, it might freak a few people out thinking a major top is setting up, but I don't see it that way. I see this as rotation into support for a further leg higher.
It might be news driven or it might be technical driven. All I know is that I believe we are days away from a decent (3%) correction and I'm alerting you now.
Follow me to stay informed and like my posts if you agree with me. Protect your longs. Be prepared for this move.
Bitcoin Pulls Back - Time to Buy the DipFrom 24 June to 24 July, the Bitcoin price increased by almost 50%. That's an impressive move in anyone's books, so it was always likely that the bulls would need to take a breather at some point.
Personally, I expected this to come around $7500 mark, but instead the price broke through this level to trade as high as $8500. This move through $7500 was also a break of a head and shoulders pattern as illustrated in the graph with the neckline in pink. However, this initial impulsive move soon ran out of steam and after some sideways action we saw a sharp sell-off back to $7500.
As can be seen $7500 is a key level - it was broken after being tested a couple times on the way up and now I expect it to act as support on the way down.
Reasons to believe that $7500 will hold as support:
- Blue line is a long term trendline which was broken and now acts a support
- Pink line is the head & shoulders neckline extended which now acts as support
- The 0.382 Fibonacci level is a high probability turning point for a short term correction in a bull run
- The RSI is oversold on the 4 hour chart (red circle) indicating that the market is oversold
All of these factors are converging in the area highlighted by the green oval. Technically, we remain in a bull trend as long as we hold above this level.
Taking this all into account, I have entered into a long trade:
Entry - $7500
Stop loss - $7175 (set as a break below the right shoulder)
Take profit - $8320 (close to a retest of previous highs)
Risk/ reward ratio - 1 : 2.5
A risk/ reward ratio of 1 : 2.5 means that for every $1 I risk in the event I am wrong, I can potentially make $2.5 if I am right.
If we break below the right shoulder, then that means that the price has made a lower high and a lower. This signals a continuation of the macro bear trend and invalidates this rally as the start of a new bull market. Don't get caught long if this scenario plays out.
Remember that the goal of trading is to minimise your losses when you are wrong and to maximise your gains when you are right.
Happy trading!
