🔽 **Support Levels (Fear Zone)**:
- The current price of 1.099 is acting as a **support level**, meaning if the price holds here, it could stabilize or rise.
- **Support levels** are where buyers tend to enter, seeing the price as a good deal.
- But since you're saying the price is in a "fear" zone, it's a bit uncertain right now. If the price **falls below** 1.099, here are the next support levels that could be crucial:
📉 **1.0553**, **0.8000**, **0.7545**, and **0.5000**.
These are the potential prices where the market might find new buying interest. Below these levels, the price could **drop further**, signaling a **bearish** trend. 😨
---
🔼 **Resistance Levels**:
- If the price holds at 1.099 and starts rising, the next **resistance levels** are key areas where price might struggle to move higher:
📈 **1.353**, **1.4443**, **1.598**, and **1.888**.
- **Resistance levels** are where sellers often appear, preventing the price from going higher. If the price reaches any of these levels, it could be a point where the price gets "stuck" or even reverses downward. 💪
---
**How to Approach This:**
- If you're **bullish** (hoping the price will go up), you'd want the price to hold above the **1.099 support**. If it goes higher, the next resistance levels could provide opportunities to **take profit** if you're in a position.
- If you're **bearish** (hoping the price will go down), then the price **dropping below 1.099** and holding at a lower support level would indicate a continuation of the downward trend.
Remember, this is just a **technical analysis** and **not financial advice**! 📊🔍

BITCOIN: First red day, on DAY 3!Hello traders and thanks for your constant support, please do not forget to like and comment the idea, it's very helpful and supporting for my constant work and progress.
Bitcoin, it's currently establishing a template of pump and dump that I really like and already traded many times in the past few years, on several instruments. There is a good chance to complete the full pattern of pump and dump during the upcoming days.
But let's see the overall weekly situation to understand better the thesis behind.
Let's start quickly to say that the current week is INSIDE the previous weekly high low, meaning that I do not see weekly higher time frames involve in this move, as well because today we don't have any major red news on calendar, I would consider a potential short entry only an intraday position.
Monday is the opening range of the week, it triggered HOD and LOD levels, closing in breakout short, inside the previous weekly high low range, shorts traders were involved in this specific day.
Tuesday the market dumped back down into the low of Monday, failing the attempt to break lower, still we have shorts involved and potentially now trapped into the low of the week.
Wednesday, day 3 of the week, we can see a three days dump and pump completed in the week, shorts from Monday are stopped out and long breakout traders are in the market, but once the HOW has been reached, is really important to understand the behaviour of price on that level.
Thursday, long traders attempt in three pushes to break higher, basically consolidating up high and closing the day down, as a first red day.
Today, Friday, the market placed a lower low into the yesterday low of day (which it could represent a weakness in the market) and currently pumping up into the current high of day / most recent swing high in the market.
THESIS:
-Short: this is my main thesis right now, I would like to see the market consolidating up high into the current HOD, starting breaking down in NY session for either a session scalp pump and dump, targeting LOD, and eventually trailing to further levels as breakout level of Tuesday high (because breakout traders long entered the market without any retest of that area), eventually closing of Tuesday and as well low of Wednesday, all these level can be very reactive.
- Long: as always, I'm not here to make forecasting or prediction, but I'm only looking for setups in specific templates that play out over and over again. Bitcoin can still keep breaking higher giving a long trade back to the HOW, where the beginning of the dump started.
In the next update, I will be showing the intraday overview.
OIL: Three days breakout traders long in the market Hello traders and hope you are doing good! Today I would like to analyse deeply this market, trying to understand the logic behind my thesis. Do not forget to support and comment my idea, nothing change to you, but is really supportive to me.
Overall, OIL looks like potentially going to complete a two weeks dump and pump template, and especially today with CPI and OIL major red news on calendar, it can be pretty interesting, but let's go deeper.
The last week, since Wednesday the market drastically dumped down, breaking on Friday the low of week and closing the day/week in breakout, with short traders in the market. Now, typically, depending on the behaviour of price, the market can keep going breaking lower or reversing if volume is trapped down low, as it happened in this specific scenario.
I would say then, that the low of week can be locked and it may start the reversal process, going to stop short traders from Wednesday.
Monday, in the new week, the market placed a higher high (because it broke the Friday high of day), closing the day as first green day, which is a strong signal of market reversal.
Tuesday, volume was trapped almost all the day below Monday closing price, and a dump and pump session setup pushed the price even higher!
Wednesday, today, market kept breaking higher, potentially higher time frames long traders are driving this move.
Let's discuss about the thesis, as you may already know, I do not predict the market, but I just show what it can be (as per my criteria) the highest probability setup, setting for the day.
The long thesis, which is my current and main view, targeting the previous HOW, could be really interesting if the price will dump down into the low placed in London session, consolidating till 10:30am OIL news release for a buy low long trade setup, which I will be really willing to take.
However, the market can consolidate up high into the current HOD/HOW, for a short scalp back into any higher level long, for example low of London or yesterday closing price, but I will be updating this analysis every hour from the beginning of NY session 8am NYT.
Remember, I do not predict any movement but I only trade setup!
See you later every one and let me know if you need any clarification!
US30 Closing first red day on the NFP dayHello traders and thanks for reading and supporting my idea!
US30 is actually building an interesting template and today it could complete a weekly pump and dump template. But to understand better the logic behind this template, let's analyse day by day what happened this week.
Monday, sets up the opening range of the week, the high low of the week is now in place and overall it was a dumping day as you can see during NY session time.
Tuesday expanded the range to the downside, closing back inside the range at the end of the day. That's our box of the week, money are lying above and below these extremes.
Wednesday nothing really interesting happened, considering that the price stayed inside the range almost all the day, slightly retesting the HOW just before the end of the day, closing the day in breakout, which is very important because now, breakout traders long are in the market and potentially driving this move.
Thursday consolidated almost all the day up high into the HOW, every attempt to break higher failed, eventually trapping the traders long in the wrong direction, stopping them out at the end of the day, closing the market as first red day and with breakout short traders involved.
Today, Friday, I can see the market placing a lower low into the low of day, which potentially reinforce the weakness of this market, and it's currently consolidating/coiling just below the closing price.
Overall, we are inside the previous weekly high low range, so I will be targeting the current LOW if the short scenario is identified.
As always, the template can give a thesis but a setup can drive the move, the following notes will explain better both the scenarios.

OIL: Day 3, market in breakoutLooking at this chart, I can see a great potential to complete a 2 weeks dump and pump scenario, which it can end up today with the OIL major red new on calendar at 10:30am NYT.
But let's analyse this market, trying to understand what and why specific moves can happen.
Starting from the last week, Monday was a dump day and Tuesday slightly expanded the range to the downside.
Most of the week just consolidated down low without achieving to push the price lower, and Friday it was the first time in the week where we could see the market pushing higher, breaking the high of day. It doesn't necessary mean that something was going to change in the market, but for sure now also long breakout traders are involved.
Friday as well, closed in breakout short, placing the new low of week.
Monday starts the new week and we could see the price retesting the LOW, is now important to understand the behaviour of price once the market reaches levels of interests and this double bottom formation into the previous LOW it may locks the low for the entire week.
Tuesday typically expands the range, which it happened and closed in breakout long.
Today, the market looks like coiling into the current high of day/how of week and I won't be surprise to see a parabolic move!
I currently have a better long thesis pushing up back into the previous HOW, however, I cannot guess how the market will behave during the NY session.
I cannot exclude that price can break down starting a reversal process during Thursday and Friday.
For the long view I would like to see the market coiling into once of these level marked
For the short view I would like to see a market breaking down, pumping back up into the HOD during NY session for a short scalp trade.
I will update the post during the day :)
Have a good trade and for any question feel free to ask!

Long: this is my main scenario at the moment, but let's review the current template to have a better understanding!
Monday triggered weekly breakout traders, placing a higher high on top of the high of the week, before starting dumping down into the previous opening range high (which is Monday's high of day)
Tuesday, the market mostly consolidated into the current low of week, attempting to push lower, failing and closing as a first greed day.
Today, the high of day and other time frames are triggered in the market, with major red new at 10am NYT this market can keep going parabolic, or eventually starting a 2/3 days of dump and pump to complete by the end of the next week the weekly dump and pump template.

XRP | ALTCOINS | What Happens AFTER the PUMP?BINANCE:XRPUSDT
I'm a notorious hater of XRP; BUT I will admit to still trading it from time to time. I bought in at about 62c, and saw the price at $1,3 yesterday - pity I didn't sell. However, I definitely will now 😂
XRP has one, and only one trading pattern - pump and dump . The pump happens over 2-3 days, and ten the dump starts lasting 3-5 weeks. THE WORST THING you could do, is buy at the climax of the pump. This is because we KNOW how LONG it takes for Cripple to reclaim previous highs.
If you haven't already, I wouldn't look to buy here. There are other altcoins with much better upside potential and who move much better than XRP such as FET, RUNE, DOGE to name a few.
More on that here:

Long: This is currently my primary view, Monday placed the opening range of the week, dumping down into the previous LOW, closing as well out of balance. Tuesday consolidated below the LOW, until it started breaking higher at the end of the day, placing a peak formation low in Asia session of Wed, which printed as well a higher high into the Tue high of day. Potentially this market is staring now the frontside move, and in this specific moment, the low of Asia, or closing price are the level I will be looking for a buy low, if a setup is presented after 8:30am CPI news release.
Short: I'm not really interested at the moment in shorting this market, however, the current high of Asia can be a level of reaction for a short scalp

Long: this is currently my main thesis at the moment, the market itself is still inside the previous weekly range, but in the new week is pumping higher making constantly higher highs and higher lows. Day 3 breakout traders long is a signal that depending on the template can explode in the direction of the trend or reversal. However, yesterday the market closed out of balance and today it can still keep going higher targeting the previous HOW, completing then 2 weeks of dump and pump template. Today, Asia placed a higher high into the yesterday HOD and is currently retesting the most recent low. FOMC and other news are in schedule for the day, but if the price will consolidated around the current level, I would be willing to take this long opportunity for 100+ pip.
Short: at the moment I'm not interested in the short scenario, unless the market will pump back up into the closing price of yesterday, consolidating for a short trade opportunity which I will consider only a scalp, eventually back into the current LOD.

Dogecoin Just Barked ,Thanks to Elon & Trump’s crypto magicMusk & Trump: Dogecoin’s New Favorite Hoomans?
In a landscape where cryptocurrency trends often intersect with political drama, both Bitcoin and Dogecoin have seen notable price movements leading up to the US presidential election. Bitcoin has rallied to within 5% of its all time high, while Dogecoin, defying the general altcoin downturn, surged almost 12%. This surge followed Elon Musk’s endorsement and the coin’s growing association with Donald Trump’s campaign.
Dogecoin’s Rise and the Musk Trump Link
Bitcoin’s upward trend is mainly driven by technical factors and larger economic conditions. On the other hand, Dogecoin’s momentum can be traced to its ties with Elon Musk and Donald Trump. After Musk’s appearance at a Trump rally in New York, Dogecoin’s price jumped by 16%, hitting $0.167 and marking the highest percentage gain among the top 100 cryptocurrencies for that day. Musk, known for his strong support of DOGE, proposed a “Department of Government Efficiency”—cleverly abbreviated as D.O.G.E . making the coin a playful symbol for Trump’s campaign goal of reducing government spending.
Musk’s impact on Dogecoin is well-documented, particularly during the 2021 bull market when he frequently mentioned it on Twitter. Recently, he fueled further excitement by tweeting a meme of himself with a DOGE avatar, invigorating Dogecoin’s community. Paul Howard, a senior director at crypto trading firm Wincent, stated, “DOGE is now closely connected to the US presidential race due to Musk’s endorsement and his presence at Trump’s rallies.”
Prediction Markets, Dogecoin & Trump’s Chances
Dogecoin’s rise isn’t happening in isolation. The correlation between Trump’s campaign progress and Dogecoin’s price growth has been magnified by prediction markets favoring Trump’s chances in the election. On Polymarket, blockchain-based odds for Trump’s victory have risen from 61% to nearly 66% in the last week. This Dogecoin-Trump link, strengthened by Musk’s involvement, brings a speculative edge to both the meme coin and Trump’s campaign, both driven by their nontraditional popularity and social media narratives.
As Trump’s odds improve, some believe Dogecoin could keep gaining attention if Musk’s D.O.G.E. proposal picks up support. Although the department idea is only theoretical, it has resonated with both Musk and Trump supporters, injecting a novel and ironic rallying point into the 2024 campaign.
Market Reactions and Future Implications
Dogecoin’s recent rally shows how influential prominent endorsements can be, even amid a sluggish altcoin market. Once considered a “joke currency,” DOGE now has serious investors betting on Musk’s ongoing support to maintain its relevance. While it remains well below its peak of $0.7 in 2021, Dogecoin’s current five-month high and unique position in the political limelight could attract more attention leading up to Election Day.
For Bitcoin, the focus is on its tendency to rally after elections, as new market entrants often surge in during these periods. If BTC’s current “bullish setup” resembles late 2020’s conditions, as Sigel suggests, it may reflect crypto’s changing role during political transitions and heightened speculation.
Overall, the intertwining of political narratives with cryptocurrency prices signals a noticeable market shift. While Bitcoin remains relatively stable, Dogecoin’s speculative value fluctuates with the influence of key figures. Whether gains are driven by Trump, Musk, or broader market forces is uncertain, but one thing is clear: in the unpredictable world of crypto, politics and social popularity have become key factors in shaping market dynamics.

4. THESIS:
Long: that's my primary thesis, let's analyse the current market condition.
- Monday opened with a huge gap breaking through the previous low of week, establishing as well the high low of the new week (opening range).
- Tuesday, it almost consolidated the full day, not really interesting in terms of trading activity.
- Wednesday, the market performed the first breakout of the week, breaking the HOW, triggering long traders in the market and closing out of balance (an interesting signal)
- Thursday closed again out of balance, long traders are potentially driving this move.
- Today, Friday, the market has good chances to go reaching and targeting the closing price of last Friday, why ? because traders shorting the beginning of the week are still in profit and stops are placed above that level. After PMI 10am, if the market will setup for a buy low opportunity around the current level (yesterday HOD or London low), I will be willing to take this trade.
Short: at the moment not really into this scenario, but however, the market could retest the current high of day, failing for a reversal, day 3 longs in the market it can reverse for major move, but I repeat, the current setup is potentially long!

After the equity opening at 9:30am, I will be willing to take a long setup if presented.

Avoiding the Pump and Dump: A Beginner's GuideAvoiding the Pump and Dump: A Beginner's Guide to Protecting Your Investments
In the dynamic world of stock trading, new traders are constantly seeking ways to maximize profits and minimize risks. Unfortunately, one of the most deceptive and harmful schemes that can easily trap beginners is the infamous pump and dump scheme. This fraudulent practice has been around for decades, targeting unsuspecting traders by artificially inflating a stock's price and then swiftly cashing out, leaving the victims with significant losses. For traders on platforms like TradingView, especially those just starting, it’s crucial to understand how to spot these schemes and avoid falling prey to them.
This guide will provide you with the knowledge you need to recognize pump and dump schemes by analyzing monthly, weekly, and daily charts, identifying repetitive patterns, and understanding market sentiment. By the end, you'll know exactly what to look for to safeguard your investments.
What is a Pump and Dump?
A pump and dump scheme occurs when a group of individuals, often coordinated through social media or private channels, artificially inflates the price of a stock. They "pump" up the stock by spreading misleading information or creating hype around the asset, leading to increased buying interest. Once the stock price has risen significantly, the perpetrators "dump" their shares at the elevated price, leaving uninformed buyers holding a stock that will soon plummet in value.
The key elements to watch out for are:
Unusual price spikes without any corresponding fundamental news.
High trading volume during these spikes, suggesting that a group of individuals is actively manipulating the price.
Aggressive promotion through emails, forums, or social media channels, often making exaggerated claims about a stock's potential.
Understanding Timeframes: Monthly, Weekly, and Daily Charts
One of the most effective ways to spot pump and dump schemes is by analyzing various timeframes—monthly, weekly, and daily charts. Each timeframe provides different insights into the stock's behavior, helping you detect irregular patterns and red flags.
Monthly Charts: The Big Picture
Monthly charts give you a broad overview of a stock's long-term trends. If you notice a stock that has been relatively inactive or stagnant for months, only to suddenly surge without any substantial news or developments, this could be a sign of manipulation .
What to look for in monthly charts:
Sudden spikes in price after a prolonged period of flat or declining movement.
Sharp volume increases during the price rise, especially when the stock has previously shown little to no trading activity.
Quick reversals following the price surge, indicating that the pump has occurred, and the dump is on its way.
For example, if a stock shows consistent low trading volume and then experiences a sudden burst in both volume and price, this is a classic sign of a pump. Compare these periods with any news releases or market updates. If there’s no justifiable reason for the spike, be cautious .
Weekly Charts: Spotting the Mid-Term Trend
Weekly charts help you see the mid-term trends and can reveal the progression of a pump and dump scheme. Often, the "pump" phase will be drawn out over several days or weeks as the schemers build momentum and attract more buyers.
What to look for in weekly charts:
Gradual upward trends followed by a sharp, unsustainable rise in price.
Repeated surges in volume that don’t correlate with any fundamental analysis or positive news.
Recurrent patterns where a stock has previously been pumped, experienced a sharp decline, and is now showing the same pattern again.
Stocks used in pump and dump schemes are often cycled through multiple rounds of pumping, so if you notice that a stock has undergone several similar spikes and drops over the weeks, it’s a strong indicator that the stock is being manipulated.
Daily Charts: Catching the Pump Before the Dump
Daily charts provide a more granular view of a stock's price movement, and they can help you detect the exact moments when a pump is taking place. Because pump and dump schemes can happen over just a few days, monitoring daily activity is critical.
What to look for in daily charts:
Intraday price spikes that happen suddenly and without any preceding buildup in momentum.
A huge increase in volume followed by rapid price drops within the same or subsequent days.
Exaggerated price gaps at market open or close, indicating manipulation during off-hours or lower-volume periods.
On a daily chart, if a stock opens significantly higher than the previous day's close without any news or earnings report to back it up, this could be the start of the dump phase. The manipulators are looking to sell their shares to anyone who has bought into the hype, leaving retail traders holding the bag.
Repeated Use of the Same Quote: A Telltale Sign of a Pump and Dump Scheme
Another red flag is when the same stock or "hot tip" keeps resurfacing in social media, forums, or emails. If you notice that the same quote or recommendation is being promoted repeatedly over time, often using the same language, this is a strong sign of manipulation. The scammers are likely trying to pump the stock multiple times by reusing the same tactics on new, unsuspecting traders.
Be cautious of stocks that:
Have been heavily promoted in the past.
Show a history of sudden spikes followed by rapid declines.
Are promoted with vague, overhyped language like "the next big thing" or "guaranteed gains."
If the same stock is mentioned multiple times in trading communities, check its historical chart. If the stock has undergone previous pumps, you will likely see sharp rises and falls that align with the promotional periods.
How to Avoid Pump and Dump Schemes
Now that you know how to spot the signs, here are actionable steps you can take to protect yourself from becoming a victim of a pump and dump scheme:
Do Your Research: Always verify the information you receive about a stock. Check if there’s legitimate news, earnings reports, or significant company developments that justify the price movement. Avoid relying solely on social media or forums for your stock tips.
Look at Fundamentals: Focus on stocks with solid fundamentals, such as earnings growth, revenue increases, and strong management. Stocks targeted for pump and dump schemes often have weak or non-existent fundamentals.
Use Multiple Timeframes: As we've discussed, examining stocks across different timeframes—monthly, weekly, and daily—can help you spot abnormal price behavior early on.
Monitor Volume and Price Movements: If you see large, unexplained surges in volume and price, be skeptical. Legitimate price increases are usually accompanied by news or fundamental changes in the company.
Avoid Low-Volume Stocks: Pump and dump schemes often target low-volume, illiquid stocks that are easier to manipulate. Stick to stocks with healthy trading volumes and liquidity.
Set Stop Losses: Always use stop losses to protect yourself from sudden price drops. Setting a stop loss at a reasonable level can help limit your losses if you accidentally invest in a stock being manipulated.
Be Wary of Promotions: If a stock is being aggressively promoted, ask yourself why. More often than not, aggressive promotions are a sign that the stock is part of a pump and dump scheme.
Conclusion
Pump and dump schemes prey on traders’ fear of missing out ( FOMO ) and the allure of quick profits . However, by using a disciplined approach to trading, analyzing charts across multiple timeframes, and paying close attention to volume and price movements, you can avoid falling victim to these schemes.
Remember: If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Protect your investments by staying informed, doing thorough research, and trusting your analysis. By following these guidelines, you can navigate the markets with confidence and avoid the pitfalls of pump and dump schemes.
Happy trading, and stay safe!

However, right now is still inside the previous high low, means that other time frames are not involved yet, as well 9:45am PMI is on schedule!
Short: secondary, the inside day, however, typically can setup for both the scenario, so I can't exclude the HOD failing (in case it will be triggered), for a short scalp back into the LOW.

4. THESIS:
Long: secondary, I won't exclude the possibility for this market to setup for a long trade, the market performed a higher high on the HOW and started dropping, currently consolidating.
Short: primary, Day 3 long breakout traders, HOW, is most of the time a reversal signal, but considering the overall level and behaviour of price, before NY session start I can see more a pump and dump. Price still on the frontside, so I won't be looking for a dump all the way down back to the LOW, unless news release at 10:30am NYT will be catalyst.

4. THESIS:
Long: Secondary, although my main thesis is short, day 3 long breakout traders in th market is not necessary a reversal signal, it can also keep going pushing higher, especially on Monday which setup the high low of the week. Depending on how it will setup after 9:30am NYT (equity opening), if a buy low is presented I can be willing to take a long trade.
Short: Primary, the market is out of balance, in breakout and is consolidating after an interesting pump performed on Friday during the NY session. London session of today placed a LL into the current LOD, and if it pumps back up in the closing price or any other relevant level, I will be shorting NAS back to at least the Friday LOD.

4. THESIS:
Long: primary, three days dump and pump starting from monday, day 3 shorts and first green are a potential bullish signal. This morning the market broke higher, started quickly dumping back into the yesterday closing price, eventually consolidating during the whole London session. After the news I will be looking for a buy low on the CP or current LOD, targeting the HOW
Short: secondary, yesterday NY session placed a lower low into the LOW, before starting pumping back up. I cannot exclude the market going back to retest or break the LOW. I would be interested in this scenario if the price comes back into the current HOD, locking it for a reversal trade

4. THESIS:
Long: primary, the previous week was mostly a bearish market, Friday failed breakout and the higher high of yesterday can drive in a potential dump and pump scenario, if setup correctly. After the HH, the market dump and currently consolidating below the closing price. Watching for buy low if it holds till NYO 9:30am
Short: secondary, yesterday was however a pumping day, I cannot exclude the scenario where the retest of the current HOW failed and reverse. I don't see this market dropping down back to the LOW, at least not in the configuration of today template.
