Sentimentalanalysis
1 Week Later and Oil is down 3.66%1 Week after the beggining of conflict between Israel and Iran in the middle east, Crude Oil is down 3.66%. Price began trending down all week and then on Thursday there was news of a bombing by Israel which caused a spike in Oil(3.5). This whole move was corrected and we are back to being down on the week. This opposes what I believed may play out this week as my thoughts were 1. Oil is a precious commodity and needed in War 2. The trend thus far this year is Bullish (we are up 13.82%) The market is instead going down and retraced this week. We are currently sitting on the Daily support level 81.23. Price action looks bearish on the Daily as we have a large top wick on the current candle.. moving into the next few weeks we will have a bearish weekly candle behind us that may aid in a descent towards the next Daily level 80.65 and beyond to the next weekly level 77.82. Also, this is in line with current risk-off market sentiment as Oil (Risk-on) is a commodity after all
Daily timeframe : The Daily timeframe retested Daily resistance (85.65) and we rejected.
Dive into the world of options with our latest Silver analysis!In the next two options, with expiration dates on May 28 and June 25, bullish sentiment appeared on silver. Starting on April 19, the participant collected bullish spreads with construction sites 31/31.5 and 32.5/35 in his portfolio.
Based on the delta values of these strikes, these spreads can be classified as aggressive. The following is noteworthy: The position set has a systemic character, even in a negative scenario. But We cannot claim that the participant holds these portfolios without hedging.
Further monitoring of the outflow/inflow of open interest will give a hint about the participant's actions and a sentiment for further price movement.
Vix Gaps up 18% with Israel/Iran Conflict The Markets are moving money into buying Puts and this signals Fear. This is what war does I suppose and is the logical scenario that we would anticipate. Put Options are being bought as market participants anticpate lower prices on the Indices overall in the Short term at least here. We gapped up to a Daily level on the Vix where we consequently observed a decrease. The Size of the gap coupled with the Daily level and the not-too-far off Weekly level provided a strong place to reverse to fill the gap. The market is up 3% on the day after being up much more. Since the beginning of the Israel/Iran Conflict (Monday April 15th) the Vix is up 9% . As we move further into Q2, I'm anticpating a continued pullback in the broader stock market or even range. Vix may go sideways or range
BTC Analysis: Downtrend Channel, Sharp Dip DROP Potential The price is currently trading within a descending channel.
A strong weekly resistance level lies ahead.
Increasing volume suggests buyers are waiting for lower prices to enter.
A sharp drop in price is a possible scenario.
Elaboration:
The current market situation presents a bearish outlook with the price confined within a descending channel. This pattern indicates a downward trend, suggesting that sellers are in control.
Moreover, the presence of a strong weekly resistance level ahead further reinforces the bearish sentiment. This resistance level acts as a barrier that the price has struggled to surpass in the past.
Interestingly, despite the bearish trend, there is an increase in trading volume. This could be interpreted in two ways:
Buyers' Accumulation: Buyers might be accumulating positions at lower prices, anticipating a potential reversal in the trend.
Increased Selling Pressure: The rising volume could also indicate increased selling pressure, pushing the price further down.
Given these factors, the possibility of a sharp downward movement, or a "sharp dip," cannot be ruled out. This sudden price drop could occur as buyers exhaust their strength and sellers regain control.
Considerations:
Market Sentiment: Pay close attention to overall market sentiment and news events that could influence price direction.
Technical Indicators: Utilize technical indicators like RSI and MACD to identify potential trend reversals or continuations.
Risk Management: Employ sound risk management strategies, including setting stop-loss orders and positioning sizing appropriately.
This analysis is for educational purposes only and should not be construed as financial advice. Always conduct your own research and employ sound risk management practices before trading.
IF DROPS: pay attention to the SELL trigger line and the first target might be the bottom of the channel. it will be also the breaking of the accumulation zone too which means strong momentum is needed in the market.
IF RISES: pay attention to the BUY trigger and break out of the channel too and it could still the force of the weekly resistance and nearing the HALVING time too.
Macro Monday 38 - German Zew Sentiment Index (extra chart)Macro Monday 38 - Please review the full report shared prior to this. This is only the German chart in Isolation.
GERMAN ZEW INDEX
The German ZEW Index data is not derived from all the countries in Europe, it is derived from the views of collection of 350 economists and analysts that operate from and represent the German economy. As Germany is the largest economy within the Euro Area, its performance significantly impacts the overall region and this this metric could be considered the economic sentiment spearhead of Europe. Germany is also the 4th largest economy in the world by nominal GDP. As of 2023, its nominal GDP stands at approximately $4.43 trillion. This index could be monitored as a measure of not only European sentiment but as an important global sentiment gauge.
How to read the chart
The index ranges from -100 (pessimism) to +100 (optimism). 0 is neutral however the historical average reading for the German ZEW chart is 20.79 which is the point where the red area meets the green area on the chart. We show on the chart if we are above or below the average levels of optimism.
The current reading of 19.9 indicates current optimism among analysts for the next 6 months, however we are below the historical average of 20.79 thus a definitive move above this level this coming Tuesday could be a confirmation step into potential sustained optimism.
The Trend
Sentiment made a recovery from -61 in Sept 2022 to +19.9 in Feb 2024. We have moved from deep in negative sentiment territory into positive numbers but we are not above the historic average of 20.79 yet.
Lets see how both perform this coming Tuesday. The beauty of these charts is that you can review both on my Trading View at any stage, press play and it will update with the most recent release. This way you will have a full explainer of what this dataset is and can keep yourself up to date on its direction with the color coded map, the average line and the neutral line, all of which will at a glance give you a good indication of where we stand in terms of trend and sentiment. I'll keep you informed here too

Wti 90 Strike is On Sale!There is something insightable happening with WTI oil.
90 strike and trade volume are attracting attention.
Check out Monday's trading data below. But to properly interpret it, we need to look at the data in the context of how the price of the asset has moved.
Comparing when the highest option trading activity was at the 90 strike and how the asset moved, the question becomes why the 90 option strike is being handoffed as prices move higher.
It's critical to note that open interest at the 90 strike did not increase, but the option flow from previous owners to new owners did (the amount of open interest did not increase, it actually decreased slightly).
Someone started buying at the 90 strike about 3 weeks ago and is now taking profits by selling their portfolio into the market, taking advantage of the rising price of call options. Our statistics show that such a scenario indicates a strong resistance level around the 90 strike and a likely bounce.
Gold! Will the rally continue..?As expected, gold futures were pretty much flat before the expiry of the March 24 option series, with the only notable exception being a spike in volatility after the Fed news.
And what's going on in the options market right now?
At the moment, there aren't really any interesting portfolios that show signs of insider trading in the option market. Yes, yesterday there were some pretty significant portfolios opened in growth with an underlying asset value of around $3,000 for the May series, but the logic behind their opening was pretty standard and, in our opinion, doesn't have a lot of predictive power.
Macro Monday 39 (Part B) - Predictive Power (EU ZEW Vs EU ESI)Macro Monday 39 (Part B)
This chart is a summary of the past two weeks of work in Macro Mondays on the EU Sentiment
The Chart illustrates the forward looking Euro Area ZEW Sentiment Index (red line) and the current sentiment outlook via the Euro Area Economic Sentiment Index (the "ESI", the blue line).
In the chart I have used thick orange lines to illustrate when the forward looking ZEW Index moved negative ahead of the ESI Index. I have used thick green lines to inform of us of when the ZEW Index moved into optimism ahead of the ESI Index. The Chart demonstrates that the ZEW Index is actually a moderately decent forward looking indicator. Hats off to those 350 economists that complete the surveys in the ZEW Index. Whilst it has been great at providing some leads, the ZEW Index is not always accurate and does not always offer the correct lead direction however historically we can see that it certainly has had predictive power at certain junctures and thus its a useful data set to monitor for EU sentiment.
▫️ At present the forward looking ZEW Index has moved into optimism whilst the current outlook via the ESI is in pessimism.
▫️ If the ZEW Index gets above the 38-42 level, it would really help concrete the sentiment shift to optimism. This is not disregarding the fact we are firmly in positive forward looking sentiment territory already. Historically there have been many rejections lower from this 38 -42 level, thus getting above it would be a real conclusive move. Furthermore, the ESI is at 95.4, if the above were to occur with a move above 38 - 42 on the ZEW Index and the ESI was to move above 100 into positive territory, we could really start to lean firmly positive for the present and into the future.
The beauty of this chart is that you can go onto my TradingView Page and press update, and the chart will update you with both metrics, informing you at a glance with how these metrics are performing collectively with a nice visual guide.
Thanks again for coming along and I hope this chart helps you in your current and future understandings of EU Economic Sentiment, which is an important global economic lead.
Bottom line is, economic sentiment appears to be leaning optimistic for the immediate future, however we await more readings for a conclusive trend direction.

EurUsd Buyers battle @ 1.086 4Hr Zone ⚔️Hello traders welcome back to another Analysis.
//// 0:0 Monthly/Introduction
1:06 Weekly Timeframe
2:24 Daily timeframe
2:58 4Hr timeframe
4:15 1Hr timeframe
//// We have upcoming (USD) PMI manufacturing data during the next NY session to look out for. It is expected to expand overall but decrease slightly from the last data point. Coming out of last Friday and during Monday's price action we observed Risk on sentiment with the Eur being favored. Maybe this will come to a halt, and during today's price action we will see a retracement back down with the positive expected USD data. If Risk-On sentiment continues, a candle closure above 1.086 on the 1hr and especially the 4hr may confirm solid long orders up to the next daily level (1.0888).
US Market SentimentAttached is the $NSDQ100 heatmap for the last trading week.
General Overview:
Color Scheme: The heatmap uses shades of green to indicate gains and shades of red to indicate losses in stock prices. The intensity of the color suggests the magnitude of the performance.
Date and Time: The data reflects the market situation as of March 03, 2024, at 14:36:03 GMT-01:00.
Sector Performance:
Technology Services: This sector shows a mix of performances with NASDAQ:MSFT (Microsoft) nearly flat, indicating stability. Meanwhile, NASDAQ:GOOG (Alphabet) has suffered a significant loss, evidenced by its dark red box.
Electronic Technology: A strong performance from NASDAQ:AVGO (Broadcom Inc) and NASDAQ:NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation) is highlighted by their deep green colors. NASDAQ:AMD (Advanced Micro Devices Inc) shows an impressive gain as well. However, NASDAQ:AAPL (Apple) has seen a notable decline.
Retail Trade: NASDAQ:AMZN (Amazon.com Inc) is in the green, showing a gain, while other retail stocks show a mix of gains and losses.
Health Technology: Mixed results with NASDAQ:ISRG (Intuitive Surgical Inc) in green, while NASDAQ:AMGN (Amgen Inc) has declined.
Consumer Durables and Non-Durables: NASDAQ:TSLA (Tesla Motors, Inc.) has made a noticeable gain, while stocks like NASDAQ:PEP (PepsiCo) have seen a slight decline.
Producer Manufacturing: NASDAQ:AMAT (Applied Materials Inc) stands out with a significant gain.
Transportation: This sector generally shows declines, with most boxes in red.
Individual Stock Analysis:
High Performers: Stocks like AVGO, AMD, and AMAT show robust weekly gains, indicating strong bullish sentiment or potentially positive news affecting their market prices.
Underperformers: GOOGL, AAPL, and some transportation stocks have seen declines, which could be due to sector-specific news, broader market trends, or earnings reports not meeting expectations.
Interpretation:
Positive Sentiment: Stocks with significant gains might be reacting to favorable earnings reports, positive industry news, or bullish market behavior.
Negative Sentiment: The stocks in red, especially those with darker shades, might be experiencing sell-offs due to various factors like poor earnings, negative news, or shifts in investor sentiment.
When considering swing trading opportunities in such a market scenario, one might look for stocks that are showing strength within sectors that are performing well, as they could continue to outperform in the short to medium term. Conversely, stocks that have dropped significantly might be evaluated for potential rebounds if the underlying fundamentals remain strong, or they could be avoided if the decline reflects longer-term issues.
Mark Minervini's strategy would emphasize identifying stocks that are in strong technical positions with good volume support and potentially forming constructive chart patterns, which could indicate they are setting up for a potential breakout. One would also consider overall market trends and sector momentum when analyzing individual stocks for potential trades.
Please note that this analysis is based on the heatmap's visual data and does not account for other crucial factors like news, earnings reports, economic indicators, or detailed technical analysis, which should all be considered before making any trading decisions.
AAPL breaks below its 1 year upward trendAAPL has recently broken below its 1 year upward signaling more selling to come. This pivotal event comes at a time when
Overall market sentiment is showing extreme greed (selling soon follows this level)
Recent rally have been prompted by one stocks excellent earnings (NVDA alone cant hold up the economy)
AAPL has been trend down rather steadily for a month
The long term support being broken indicates more selling likely to come.
US-Market SentimentUS Market Sentiment and Swing-Trading Considerations -
NASDAQ Heatmap
Color-Coded Performance Indicators:

NVDA: The strong gain suggests investor confidence or positive news related to the semiconductor industry or the company specifically.
ADBE: The notable decline could be due to earnings reports, market sentiment, or sector-related news impacting software companies.
AMZN: A substantial increase like this could be driven by positive earnings, favorable market news, or successful business ventures.
TSLA: A sharp decline may be the result of negative press, disappointing earnings, or adverse industry developments.
Market Sentiment:
The overall market sentiment can be gauged by the balance of green to red. In this heatmap, green appears more prevalent in larger squares (representing larger companies by market cap), suggesting a cautiously optimistic sentiment among major players.
Considerations for Swing Trading:
Momentum Stocks: Stocks like AMZN and NVDA with strong positive momentum could be considered for a swing trade, following Minervini’s principle of trading in sync with the market trend.
Volume and Price Action: Before making trading decisions, it's important to analyze the volume and price action for confirmation of the trends suggested by the heatmap.
Potential Reversals: Stocks like TSLA and ADBE that have experienced significant drops might be scrutinized for potential reversals if they approach technical support levels.
Final Thoughts:
This heatmap is a snapshot and does not provide the granularity needed to make a final trading decision. It is a starting point for identifying potential stocks to trade. A trader following Minervini’s methodology would look for specific technical setups, such as tight price consolidation, relative strength, and trading volume, among other factors, before entering a trade.
It's also important to consider that the heatmap shows past performance, which is not always indicative of future results. Each potential trade should be evaluated in the context of current market conditions, news, and comprehensive technical analysis.
Market Psychology: Why the Wall St. Cheat Sheet Still WorksI decided to apply the Wall Street Cheat Sheet to a chart of the S&P 500 during the Dotcom crash. It is impressive that it still works and holds so many lessons.
The question you should ask yourself is, where are we now?
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Understanding the implications of the Wall Street Cheat Sheet can be crucial for investors and traders looking to navigate the markets more effectively. It serves as a reminder of the recurring nature of market sentiment, highlighting that investor psychology tends to repeat itself in a cyclical pattern.
Recognizing these patterns can help traders anticipate market movements and improve their decision-making processes. Although it's not a fail-proof guide to predicting market trends, the Wall Street Cheat Sheet is a tool that, when combined with other strategies and risk assessments, can provide insightful context to market indicators and behavior.
The Wall Street Cheat Sheet encapsulates the variety of emotions investors go through during market cycles. Recognizing emotional cycles can inform risk assessment and trading strategies.
The Wall Street Cheat Sheet serves as a roadmap for navigating the emotional highs and lows investors face during market cycles. Each phase reflects a collective sentiment that can influence financial markets and, subsequently, the price movement of stocks.
Market cycles represent the recurrent fluctuations seen in the financial markets and can be identified through the price movements of stocks. These cycles are driven by a variety of factors such as economic indicators, corporate performance, and investor sentiment.
The Wall Street Cheat Sheet encapsulates the typical emotional journey of investors through the different stages of a market cycle. The following phases are included:
Hope: A period when optimism starts to grow, and investment decisions are made with the anticipation of future gains.
Optimism: The phase where confidence continues to build, often leading to increased investments.
Belief: This stage marks a commitment to the bullish trend, with many investors convinced of their strategy.
Thrill: Investors experience a high, often accompanied by a sense of triumph.
Euphoria: The peak of the cycle, where maximum financial risk is actually present but overlooked due to extreme optimism.
Complacency: After reaching peaks, the sense of euphoria shifts to a state of denial once the market begins to turn.
Anxiety: As market correction sets in, anxiety starts to replace complacency.
Denial: Investors hold onto hope that the market will bounce back quickly, failing to acknowledge changing trends.
Fear: Acknowledgment of losses sets in, and panic may ensue.
Desperation: A feeling of helplessness might prevail, with investors looking for a way out.
Panic: Rapid selling occurs, trying to exit positions to avoid further losses.
Capitulation: Investors give up any previous optimism, often selling at a loss.
Anger: The reality of financial impact hits, and investors question their decisions.
Depression: Coming to terms with the financial hit and reflecting on the decisions made.
Disbelief: Skepticism prevails even as the market may begin recovery, with many wary of another downturn.
A Bitcoin Fib-Time Based Cycle (Concept #3)In this chart, we explore a third Bitcoin Fib-Time Cycles concept (3/5). Refer to the original idea for concept #1 or concept #2 (linked below). In this concept, we position Bitcoin within an unconventional greater two-cycle phase, where the current cycle, Cycle 2, contributes to a Supercycle. It offers a twist that may appeal to the more contrarian, as its approach is taken from the emotional 'Herd' perspective. We use this to examine investor sentiment as it often conflicts with price action and can provide moments of opportunities or reasons to prepare and avert risk. Unlike other concepts, each signpost should be viewed as a rolling emotional peak within that period, until the next is triggered. This chart is not to be confused with other concepts, however, it can be confluent whilst still being conceptually distinct.
In this third concept, the positioning of the trend-based Fib-Time Extensions has been drawn from Bitcoin's inception to the first impulse rally in 2020. From there it is then projected sequentially again up until 2030. The rationale behind this theory is based on the idea that originated from my first-ever TV-published chart (linked below) . The shift in Bitcoin's cyclical nature poses a possibility that most of Bitcoin's growth from the early stages (2009 to 2013) is now in a repetitive sequence. This could indicate signs at greater levels playing into larger growth, which then forecasts a longer-term bear market.
Note: These vertical projections are not manually placed; they are based on Fibonacci sequence numbers derived from the denoted placements (0-1). Interestingly, where they end up closely correlates to the major pivots across Bitcoin's historical patterns.
Importantly, this is not a price prediction or estimation, nor does it offer an overall bearish or bullish take. Although the outlook seems bullish (short-term), cycles can play out over the years, and we may not have seen Bitcoin's final cycle just yet. This is why this is an alternative concept to others I have been exploring. More alternatives in the coming weeks and months.
This chart merely presents a conceptual analysis of Bitcoin's time and cycles to date, highlighting key pivotal points and how Bitcoin can often play on emotion and sentiment-driven participants. Overall it is worth observing even without this concept as understanding timing and environmental circumstances can be just as crucial as managing risk or setting price targets. Having a plan to correlate these factors allows you to spend less time watching charts and more time enjoying whatever you want.
Key Takeaways:
This chart is based on the 2-week timeframe as its projections are till mid-2030
With a 1-2 weeks variance, each fib-time level (signpost) approximately triggers the next shift in the emotional phase. It is within a phase to anticipate the preceding signpost and observe the sentiment with the correct mindset.
Each fib range marks approximately 3808 days (10.43yrs)
Note that 0.5 is not an actual fib level.
Once a cycle of phases is completed, we will assess as I believe this concept could prove to be a new set of cycles.
We are 2 weeks, and 3 days until we crossover the next signpost (The Fomo Sweats!) Crossing the next signpost does suggest that there is a 1-3 month period of rapid upside.
This current second iteration cycle is projected to end in Jun 2030.
This is purely a concept and not certain and not financial advice. I apologise for the resolution. A screenshot can be viewed here:
Risky, potential buy on demand zone | USDCADUSDCAD Create a 1H demand zone, considering 4H buy sentiment i expect a continuation to the upside to take out 1.34921 liquidity.
Also USDCAD had gone extreme hence exposes to a taking risky potential long term buy , it may react to 1.35424 - 1.35047 potential supply zone.
Adoption: Institutions' Positive Sentiment Awaiting BTC ETFsAdoption: Institutions' Positive Sentiment Awaiting BTC ETFs
Dear Esteemed Traders,
One reason why Bitcoin price could go above $4600 in the next three months is the increasing institutional adoption of the cryptocurrency. According to a survey by Bitwise, almost 90% of financial advisors plan to buy Bitcoin after the approval of spot BTC ETFs. This could create a huge demand for Bitcoin and drive its price higher. Additionally, some institutions such as MicroStrategy, Tesla, and Square have already invested billions of dollars in Bitcoin and are holding it as a reserve asset. This could reduce the supply of Bitcoin and increase its scarcity value.
Another reason why Bitcoin price could go above $4600 in the next three months is the positive technical outlook of the cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is currently trending bullish on the four-hour time frame, with the 50-day and 200-day moving averages sloping up. The RSI is also within the neutral zone, indicating that the price has room to grow without being overbought or oversold. Moreover, Bitcoin has formed an ascending triangle pattern on the weekly chart, which is a bullish continuation pattern that suggests a breakout to the upside. If Bitcoin can break above the resistance line of the triangle, it could reach record highs, according to the measured move technique.
Of course, these are not the only factors that could affect the price of Bitcoin in the next three months. There are also some risks and uncertainties that could cause the price to drop, such as regulatory hurdles, market volatility, cyberattacks, and competition from other cryptocurrencies. Therefore, it is important to do your own research and analysis before making any investment decisions.

#ETHBTC - #Wyckoff & #Volume & #Divergences & #Sentiment#ETHBTC
The Broadening Wedge has a track record of being one of the most brutal patterns for emotional Traders to navigate, but if we peel back the layers to see what's happening of actual importance, that's when things start to get really interesting, IMO.
This is very possibly a textbook Wyckoff bottom. It's presenting all the signs of what we want to see plus #ETHBTC has a history of combining extremely low sentiment with ruthless patterns.
But once again just focus beyond the noise of PA and we can see what is volume or lack thereof in all the right places, paired with stacked divergences.
Nothing is 100% certain in this place, but based on probabilities gauged over history and the rest of the story, I know what I'm doing...
