MARA Marathon Digital Holdings Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven`t bought the dip on MARA:
Then analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of MARA Marathon Digital Holdings prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 20usd strike price Calls with
an expiration date of 2025-1-17,
for a premium of approximately $7.85.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.

🗓️Weekly Report: Probabilities are stacking to the lowGENERAL MARKET REVIEW
The stock market kicked off the day on a high note, with stocks initially experiencing gaps upwards and a brief period of appreciation. Nonetheless, these early gains were short-lived, as the market faced significant downturns for the remainder of the session.
In today's trading, both the S&P-500 and Nasdaq indices have fallen through their 50-day moving average markers amid substantial trading volumes, signaling a bearish outlook. This further reinforces the notion that holding cash remains the superior strategy.
We'll begin our chart analysis with a look at the Nasdaq-100 ( NASDAQ:QQQ ) and S&P-500 ( SP:SPX )
SPX-500
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
META
Sliced today and looks like it is heading to the 50D SMA. Could see a bounce but it is very much market dependent
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
NVDA
Carving out a nice base with earnings coming on 22APR (Wednesday). The next buy point is above the $974 level on high volume, however I will look to play a pivot breakout before hand near the danger point, so that I would look to hold into earnings (IF I GET CUSHION)
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
SMTC
Down just fractionally today. It is setting a Bull Flag Pattern. If it breaks the lower side of the channel I d cut it loose.

Hold Your Sunrun Stock
In light of the recent sub-sequential decline in Sunrun's price action, I am compelled to present this report to provide clarity on the matter. The price movements have exhibited a significant trend of exponential lower highs and lower lows, nearly approaching levels seen over the past 52 weeks.
Allow me to share my insights. For those wise investors who have held positions in Sunrun for an extended period, such as myself, it's evident that this isn't the first time we've witnessed a price decline of this magnitude. Sunrun is renowned for its status as a high-speculative stock, frequently subject to significant market fluctuations as large institutions reposition their capital. It's 210 M circulating shares floats is a perfect reason of this massive % change in the price. These pronounced market movements are often welcomed by short-term and long-term investors alike. NASDAQ:RUN
However, it is noteworthy that the recent selling activity has been quite pronounced. Therefore, this report strongly recommends to those who are perusing its contents to resist the urge to sell their shares at this juncture. Sunrun has demonstrated consistent growth in the last two quarters, signaling the potential arrival of new buyers in the near future.
It's crucial to bear in mind the timeless adage that when the crowd is selling, it's an opportune moment to buy, and conversely, when the crowd is buying, it's prudent to consider selling. This sage approach remains a valuable cornerstone in navigating the intricate terrain of the financial markets.

In general, commercial traders are likely to move more capital on the market than non-commercial traders. Commercial traders are typically large institutions, such as banks and corporations, that use futures markets to hedge their commercial activities and manage their price risk. They are often considered to be "smart money" traders because they have access to more information and resources than individual traders.
On the other hand, non-commercial traders are typically speculators who are looking to profit from changes in the market price of the underlying asset. While non-commercial traders may also move significant amounts of capital on the market, their positions are generally smaller than those of commercial traders.
It's important to note, however, that the amount of capital moved by commercial and non-commercial traders can vary depending on a number of factors, including market conditions, the size of individual positions, and the overall sentiment of the market.
While the market is showing Bearish momentum for the past for weeks commercials are slithly offloading their long positions, while retail traders remains more optimistic, But looking at btc monthly cycles, Could be setting up for stop hunt around March low or a setup that might build a higer low in september October when we usually see a low and a pump.

Commitment of Traders Report from Last Week - BTC UpdateGoing over the CME Gap that exists above us as well as the current Price Action.
BTC failing it's swing was a great short after we short squeezed to the level.
Swings, S/Rs, and Demand Zones are being respected perfectly.
Scalping in this zone don't do anything except look for mechanical failures
and retests/gains. Low liquidity expected.
Lose or gain the Swing Levels then target the stuff above and below
Otherwise look to play the bounces within these Swings.
Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro could pack 2.0(Pocket-lint) - Details about Google's next-generation flagship phone series - which is thought to consist of the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro - has leaked online.
According to 9to5Google, which dug into the recent Android 13 developer preview and spoke to "trusted" sources, has claimed that Google has a second-generation Tensor chip in the works. Often referred to as Tensor 2.0 by the media, it has an internal codename of "cloudripper" and is expected to land with model number GS201. It also reportedly has an unreleased Samsung modem onboard.
The Tensor 2.0 could have an Exynos Modem 5300 stuffed inside, the report said. But Samsung hasn’t launched a modem by that name as of right now, so that's why it's considered unreleased.
Keep in mind the first Tensor chipset had the Samsung Exynos Modem 5123.

DECEMBER' 2021 REPORT: JAN 22 < FUTURE BELONGS TO THE BRAVEHa, you thought, i was gone and forgotten. Hell no. We just getting started :)
So here we go, another report since JULY lol, damn guys, i have enter the blackhole of blockchain game development and metaverses.
You can learn more on twitter at: twitter.com
So yeah, if anyone still even remember me, i am one man army lol having fun and getting by with the code and fractals.
Since JULY, i was involved in:
$MANA, $REQ, $ICP, $ALGO, $BOND, $LPT, $NXS
NOW > ALGO > FILE > NXS
I was too busy to do any TA publicly, but trust me, i was hustling just like you.
Regretting missed opportunities, making mistakes, but staying bloody fucking green :)
__DECEMBER REPORT - 1 DAY ANALYSIS___
SO here we are, looking at the barrel of inflation, covid world and praying that the bull channel holds.
So this what i see here:
We are testing 0.382 correction twice, before we try for 70k again, then again we are going to draw down, but correction won't last, and we are going to go higher. I think the bull will last till start of July, after that i am not sure.
I think the yellow brick road is a good example to what i think a bullish scenario going forward will be.
Do i really think we are going to reach 10 trillion by July of 2022 - unlikely, but don't know what will these fractals bring to us.
All i know is this: Only those that hold will find out.
All i know for certain, somehow we are going to touch the V point.
As you can also see, the bears are still aiming back for BTC to go to 30 K and lower.... NOT happening, but sure anything can happen.
As you can see in JULY, the price dropped at the extended bear channel, this often occurs after the bear breakout.
I expect, price to linger right for a little bit, and start moving into the Dec 23-24 again, maybe even earlier if we got some more favorable knows.
Also note, that Elon is starting to have a lesser affect on price volatility on DOGE. CAP matters.
You still need utility, a coin still has to circulate and create an economy, but maybe that is in the future.
I am less active now on TV, because i am too darn busy creating a new scifi world, and think about new ways of interacting on the net, plus life bro.
Trading has changed, i hope you can feel it. IT is a lot more difficult now, rallies don't hold and ppl are getting burned - a lot.
So be careful out there, look for the jewels, they are out there.
Hopefully, i will create one for you all to enjoy as well, as i prepare to announce and release the token this Month.
Cheers :)
__JULY REPORT REVIEW__
-----------------------------------------------------
I was off by just a few days on July 18, I did say 6 hours is not always accurate. Fear dragged lower, but the sentiment was correct, good luck predicting that with your own TA heh :)
Next, Recovery targets hit as expected, we also broke the bear channel. Which is why we are testing the upper resistance now.
Breakout July 6 was incorrect, price pattern carried in the late july :( We really needed that double bottom for confirmation to lift off. Something that maybe happening again right now.
I was incorrect about ADAM and EVE bottom, it was actually EVE, ADAM pattern.. who knew that will be violently up. heh.
BEAR DID no manifest, thanks god lol, otherwise we be all underwater ha
September and October Fractal was important, it was the bottom for BTC, at least for wave 2.
DIMOND Hands were tested.

Short Idea for GBPUSDThe US dollar fluctuated between 95.6 and 96.6 last month. Traders' confusion over interest rate hikes, as well as duplicity in talks with the Federal Reserve, have kept the dollar afloat. But given the job data, the CPI data, which shows inflation well, has kept traders believing that the US Federal Reserve will soon plan to raise interest rates. Therefore, according to the picture above, we predict the upward movement of the dollar index.
With this rise and strengthening of the dollar as soon as possible, we can see better GBPUSD currency pairs.
As we can see, this currency pair is located in a descending channel and now the roof of this channel is at the LH point.
Also, by examining the COT data, the net positions of the British pound are still 50,719 selling positions, which will continue the decline of this currency. Also, compared to last week, the 6967 trading position is closed and makes this currency pair have a short rise.
GBPUSD COT data
What we have see on USDJPY, It will be fall to the 112 areaHey friends, and trader
We forecast downside movement for the USDJPY for several reasons
1. USD is overbought and over-priced in 2 months ago
2. JPY is oversold and this is a good and cheap price for this safe-haven currency
3. Smart buyers are buying in these prrices.
4. As you see in the picture, The non-commercial traders usually are buyers in these prices cause the JPY is being valuable in these prices.
5. Buy trend line is broken in the H4 time frame
so if you are a swing trader or long-term trader it's a good opportunity for you.
Good Lock, Wish you money
With respect

Vox Royalty Announces Record Revenue in Q1 2021GEORGE TOWN, CAYMAN ISLANDS – May 4, 2021 – Vox Royalty Corp. (TSXV: VOX) (“Vox” or the “Company”) is
pleased to announce that the Company has realized record preliminary revenue of C$668,600 (US$540,000)
(1) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021. All preliminary revenues were derived from royalties, not streams, as such, the cash operating
margin(1) was 100% for the quarter. During the quarter, the Company recognized inaugural royalty revenue from the Koolyanobbing
royalty, which is an uncapped 2% Free on Board sales value royalty from iron ore mined from the recently commissioned Altair
Pit and a portion of the Deception Pit.
Quarterly revenue benefitted from increased royalty-linked production by Mineral Resources Limited (ASX: MIN) and record iron
ore prices at Koolyanobbing, increased production by Karora Resources Inc. (TSX: KRR) from the Hidden Secret deposit at
Higginsville covered by the Dry Creek royalty and rebounding quarterly diamond prices associated with the Brauna royalty.
Kyle Floyd, Chief Executive Officer stated: “Record quarterly revenue for Q1 represents the start of Vox’s anticipated revenue
growth through 2023 as numerous royalty assets are expected to commence production. The Company’s preliminary quarterly
revenue is in line with previously announced 2021 full-year revenue guidance of C$1.7M to C$2.5M. Vox’s organic revenue growth
is a product of the Company’s stated strategy of acquiring high quality, attractively priced royalties many of which are near term
production opportunities. Vox held one producing royalty in May 2020 and anticipates finishing 2021 with seven producing assets
based on its current portfolio of 50 royalties.”
Vox is a growth precious metals royalty and streaming company with a portfolio of 50 royalties and streams spanning nine
jurisdictions. The Company was established in 2014 and has since built unique intellectual property, a technically focused
transactional team and a global sourcing network which has allowed Vox to become the fastest growing company in the royalty
sector. Since the beginning of 2019, Vox has announced over 20 separate transactions to acquire over 45 royalties.
