DJI (6h) - Double top - and more.The trouble with double tops is that, you don't know where exactly price will go. Have a look.
All you can do is take a controlled loss (aka stop-loss). If you can't afford it, don't take it (obviously).
Today was exciting!! USTech was heading south, whilst price on other US stock indices went madly north. The news said, that this was a about rotation. (Read up on that). Well, I don't think so. It looked as if moms and pops traders took confidence in an early rise of USTech and moved madly north.
Tech continued to grind down after that bounce, checking the confidence of the gamblers.
There's potential trouble on the DAX where 'gamblers' went wooohooo towards 14000 ish. Then the big boys said hold on a sec!
Oops - hello there is trouble in the Bond markets. The FED is basically fighting against itself - trying to boost bonds and prop up stock indices in the US at the same time. Yellen made an announcement that inflation is not a problem - and the gamblers became ravenous. (You don't see that stuff on the 6H chart. Look into the 15 min time frame.)
In other events, officially US debt struck just over $28 Trillion. But the true figure not in the public domain is estimated to be around ~$128 Trillion. Like 'who cares' some say, 'The FED has our back'.

Short-long
HIGH ALERT: To Bitcoin latecomersThe position shown is a potential crash zone. I'm well aware that 'everybody' thinks BTCUSD is going to $100,000 soon. There are problems ahead that 'everybody' is not factoring in.
Firstly the technical set up is showing something important in this analysis. Bitcoin has had a major long run up to approx $58,200.
Next - there is an important trend switch. 'Everybody' can see the importance of that conspicuous amber trend line. The seeming recovery is about latecomers and greed.
Then there is another problem lurking. What's that? Central Banks are quietly planning their own brand of digital currencies, and regulation is likely to squeeze Bitcoin. Loyalists will say that Bitcoin is bound to survive. Sure - but will price survive?
The technicals are clear for everybody to see. The greater probability is for the south - this is not a prediction. It is only a probability - which means there is also a probability that Bitcoin does not 'obey' the technical picture.

AUDJPY (6H) - tricky situation.I've been watching price action in the last few days on AUDJPY.
My balance of probability is 51% for the south, leaving 49% for the north. I know 'everybody' wants better odds than that. Well, I did say it was tricky - at least for me.
My estimates are based on my analysis. Not a 'feeling'. I wouldn't be trading this time frame anyway. I'd be looking for a nice small trend to milk - one that is nested within one of those candles. So - if a small trend moves south, I'd take that. If a small trend moves north, I'll go with that. I go where the market goes - but from 'under the hood'.
If others have a different perspective based on their own methodologies, feel free to share.

Is the DAX burning down?This is a 15 min time frame, trend following set up. Price action looks uncertain and nosing slightly south.
As a trend follower, you know that you have to give the market much room to oscillate. Trend is more important than price.
Nothing in this set up means that I know the trend will continue south. All I can do is take an affordable loss. Hence, you find no predictions here. Why? Because I'm not predicting. I'm following.
New traders need to be very careful in these set ups. Expect a loss. Control it. Make it affordable. I always talk about losses - that thing that lots of traders don't want to hear about.
If the trend continues south, I can't know how far it will go.

The Aussies: Is this another one-candle situation?Well, it is one candle at the leading edge. We cannot know if it means anything until stuff happens. Those who look for predictions that foretell the future are in the wrong game.
In trend-following methodologies, one would ride an escalator down or up - on a smaller time frame that that shown here (to conserve losses).
When you zoom out of this chart, you see a market struggling to stay afloat. That's usually not a good sign. The 4H ATR line is above the recent batch of ranging candles. This means there is bearish pressure in this market (on this time frame only). The bulls have lots of work to do if they wanna get above the 4H (amber) line.
The trouble for the Aussies is that they are bounced around by a) the DJI b) the USTech100 and c) US Bond markets. That's why it looks so indecisive (at this time). They are normally most scared of the USTech indices. So watch USTech as well for a steer on probabilities on lower time frames.
CL bullish bias as a wedge gets a wedgie.You can see the formation here of a down wedge within a down wedge (wedge gets a wedgie).this is the yellow wedge and the black wedge. This points to a bullish bias longer term. Though you can see I am a seller right now from 65.10 with target price of about 63.70. This is where the yellow and black wedge intersect. I love this kind of confluence. You can see an example of how price may become bullish (red arrow) by bouncing off the demand zone.
However what if the demand zone doesn’t hold and price breaks through this. We could see a drop to about 59.60 as price takes the path represented by the black arrow.
So watch what price does at the demand zone. If the demand zone doesn’t hold wait for confirmation of it becoming resistance and take a short position. There really isn’t great support in this area so it could be a lucrative trade.
Thoughts and comments always welcome. Please give thumbs up if you like this idea.
CL- three possible scenarios
3 possible scenarios. Represented by green up shade box and 2 red down shade box.
So far path is following my prediction from earlier chart (see previous CL post)
- green box trigger if price breaks black resistance
- first red shade box triggers if price do not break resistance
- second red shade box triggers if double to forms.me which would also end the green box trade
As always aggressive entry on break of resistance or failed break of resistance and conservative entry on retest of this resistance.
Please hit thumbs up if this idea interesting and please leave comment.
MARKET CRASH - JUNE 2022 ?Hello everyone
I was doing a research about market crashes in history (what was the reason, what happened next and how it was solved) ...So I read many titles about financial instruments in US (Loans,credit cards,mortgages etc) ...yeah and those freaking BONDS...we have two types of bonds - short-term and long-term..and here comes the trouble. They should go in the same direction. That means if short-term bonds(STB) rise,then long-term bond yields (LTB) should rise as well...so what is wrong ? Every time in history before a market crash these STB and LTB yiels were going in different directions - STB were rising whereas LTB were falling. We can talk about divergence.
Crash Confidence Indicator is in it s highest value since latest market crash in 2007 - that means that many investors believe that market crash is not going to happen... the same scenario was right before 2007 crash
Citi group‘s indicator about euphoria or panic in the stock market is in euphoria sector and is steadily rising
Another indicator..VIX ..is down 28%...that means that fear has crashed
Stocks are expensive relative to 10-year average earnings. We are above number 24 which is much higher than the long-term average of 16.
Relative to GDP,the US stock market looks very expensive
Now look at the chart below. As you can see there is the VIX indicator, SPX (S&P500 index) and 10-y Bond (blue line).
I found interesting correlations between these instruments. As you can see, before every market crash we had scenario when VIX fell and Bonds rised. Afterwards bonds lost their value,VIX skyrocketed and SPX and economy crashed. These days we have a lot of "positive" sentiment in Bonds and we are grateful that VIX is falling...really ? look at the chart...VIX is falling and bonds are rising. From history performance I expect an upcoming market crash in 2022...and in my personal opinion I expect this carsh in the beginning of June.
Take it serious, I am not joking and I put a lot of my time into this research.
Thank you for your time and good luck !

Why pay attention to head and shoulders?Head and Shoulders is one of the most reliable patterns in trading. You could find the stats on this - I've long forgotten them.
Many H&S pattern fail and you have to be prepared to take controlled affordable losses when engaging them. But when they do fall in your favour, they could be big earners.
As always, these patterns do not 'predict' - they create probabilities. For every estimate on probability in one direction there is a residual probability that it won't work for you. That's where the stop-loss comes in.
Strang things can happen with these - based on experience.
1 - the pattern fails completely.
2 - a second right shoulder develops (usually in bullish markets).
3 - price stalls in a range for a long time.

ETH/USDTHello again.
The green rhombus target was the red rhombus that was struck and also the red rhombus target was the area of 2000 that was struck!!!!!!
The first target is the current rhombus pattern 4500 and the second target is 5000. If the price rises and the price stabilizes in the range of 2000, we will expect this target.
And if we start modifying the tag, we have $ 1,000.!!!
What is your analysis? Please write in the comments.
Market structure (supply & demand) $42,100 - $42,999 (March BTC)Good evening traders,
I'm sorry for not being active over the past week (I started a new full time job and finished my training week) HOWEVER, I will be posting 2-5 times every week going forward but wanted to make a quick technical analysis because it's now March 2021.
What happened in March 2020? One of the biggest crashes in crypto and stock market history.
Do I think history will fully repeat itself? Of course not.
Do I think history will rhyme? Of course I do.
The timing of price action and the current month of the year (2 months left remaining in Q1 2021) is no coincidence and wouldn't be surprised if bitcoin decides to completely nuke in the month of March.
MARKET STRUCTURE:
Previous all time highs:
#1: $20,000 (still not retested)
#2: $42,100 (still not retested)
ALSO, we haven't yet completed a 30% pullback on this current downtrend we've seen.
(a similar correction from the previous ATH would take us to around $38,000, give or take a thousand dollars)

TESLAHi again .
If the price returns and goes above 1000, the probability of growth up to the green prz can be considered higher!!
If we face a decrease in price, if the purple prz is broken, we can expect the price to reach the red prz!!
Purple prz Target Lozenge Pattern.
Red target prz Orange channel height.
what's your idea?! <3
