Bitcoin - Triangle pattern consolidation!The Bitcoin price action is currently coiling within a symmetrical triangle pattern on the 4-hour chart, as illustrated in the chart provided. After a significant bullish move earlier this month, BTC has now entered a phase of consolidation, marked by a series of lower highs and higher lows. This has formed a triangle pattern, suggesting an imminent breakout as price nears the apex. The upper boundary of the triangle acts as dynamic resistance, while the rising lower trendline provides firm support. Given the preceding upward momentum leading into this consolidation, the bias slightly favors a breakout to the upside, though the market can always surprise. Bullish Scenario In the bullish case, Bitcoin would need to break convincingly above the descending resistance trendline. Should that occur, the next key level to watch lies within the 4-hour bearish Fair Value Gap (FVG) between $120,500 and $121,400. This region represents an area of inefficiency where price moved rapidly in the past, and it is likely to attract selling pressure again. Bulls would ideally aim to reclaim this zone with strong momentum and potentially use it as support in a retest scenario. A successful retest of the triangle’s upper boundary could also trigger a liquidity grab above recent highs, particularly above the all-time high levels. Bearish Scenario On the flip side, a bearish breakout would involve BTC breaking below the ascending support trendline. If this happens, the most probable downside target would be the CME gap left behind from two weekends ago, located between $114,300 and $115,500. This price gap occurred due to the discrepancy between Friday’s closing price and Sunday’s opening price on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, often a magnet for price reversion. After this gap is filled, it is possible that BTC sees a short-term bounce to retest the triangle from below, before potentially continuing lower to address further imbalances in price action. How to Confirm a Valid Breakout Trading triangle patterns can be deceptive, as BTC often exhibits false breakouts designed to trap traders on the wrong side. To confirm a valid breakout, it's crucial to observe at least a few 4-hour candles closing decisively above or below the triangle boundaries. Additionally, breakout strength should be accompanied by a noticeable increase in volume. A breakout without volume confirmation is often a sign of a fake move, and entering trades under such conditions can be highly risky. Final Thoughts BTC is currently consolidating within this symmetrical triangle formation, signaling a period of indecision and potential volatility ahead. While both bullish and bearish scenarios are plausible, it is essential to wait for clear confirmation before committing to a position. Patience and discipline are key, especially when navigating patterns prone to fake-outs. For now, remaining on the sidelines until a confirmed breakout occurs may be the most prudent strategy. -------------------------- Disclosure: I am part of Trade Nation's Influencer program and receive a monthly fee for using their TradingView charts in my analysis.

Simple Swing Trading Strategy with Smart Money Concept Explained I will share with you the essential basics of swing trading forex gold with Smart Money Concepts. You will learn how to do swing trading with the best SMC strategy. I will teach you to c ombine order blocks, liquidity zones and imbalances to spot accurate entries and confirmation signals. If you just started learning swing trading Forex with Smart Money Concepts, I strictly recommend trading with the trend only. The cases and examples that we will discuss will be strictly trend-following ones. Swing Trading with SMC in Uptrend For swing buying any forex pair, we will look for the market that is trading in a bullish trend. To confirm that the market is rising, you will need to execute structure mapping and find a forex pair that updates Higher Highs HH and Higher Lows HL. Above is the example how I confirmed that GBPUSD is bullish with structure mapping. You can see that the pair consistently updates the highs. Once you identified a bullish pair, your next step will be to find the zone from where the next swing move will follow. According to the rules, the market remains in uptrend till the price is staying above or on the level of the last Higher Low HL. Here is such a zone on GBPUSD. It is based on the last Higher Low and current price levels. We will assume that buying orders will concentrate within that area and from that a bullish rally will follow. The problem is that this area is extremely wide, and we can not just buy randomly within. Our next step will be to find liquidity zones within. To buy, we need demand areas. I found 4 price action based historic demand zones on GBPUSD. We will need to wait for the test of one of these zones and then wait for an order block - a place where smart money are placing their buy orders. The problem is that we don't know in which of these areas the order block is, so we will need to wait for tests of these zones and a consequent imbalance to confirm it. To confirm a bullish imbalance for swing trading Forex, I recommend analyzing a 4H time frame after a test of a demand zone. According to Smart Money Concepts, a bullish imbalance can be any sign of strength of the buyers : bullish breakout of a vertical/horizontal resistance, change of character, high momentum bullish candle, bullish price action pattern, etc. An order block on GBPUSD was confirmed with a breakout of a resistance line of a falling channel on a 4H time frame. That was the signal that Smart Money are buying, and that is your signal to open a swing long trade. You place a buy position then with a stop loss below the order block and a target - at least a current high. Swing Trading with SMC in Downtrend For swing selling any forex pair, you will need to find a market that is trading in a bearish trend. I suggest applying structure mapping to identify such a pair. It simply should update Lower Lows LL and Lower Highs consistently. USDCAD is trading in a bearish trend. Structure mapping helps to easily confirm that. Then, we will need to identify the zone from where the next bearish wave will start. According to Smart Money Concepts structure mapping rules, the market remains bearish till the price is staying below or on the level of the last Lower High LH. That's such a zone on USDCAD. It is based on current prices and the last Lower High. We will assume that selling orders will be distributed along the entire lenth of our zone. Of course, we can not sell randomly within that zone because it is relatively extended. Our next task will be to find liquidity supply zones within. I found 2 price action based supply zones within our underlined area. Before we sell, we will need to find an order block. A place from where smart money are selling big. To spot that, I suggest waiting for a test of one of our supply zones and wait for a bearish imbalance on a 4H time frame. According to SMC, a bearish imbalance can be a bearish high momentum candle, a bearish CHoCH, a bearish price action pattern, a bearish breakout of a horizontal/vertical support , etc. You can see that a lower supply zone was tested on USDCAD. Our bearish order block confirmation is a bearish Change of Character, a formation of a high momentum bearish candle and a breakout of a rising trend line. After that we can open a swing sell position and expect a bearish movement at least to a current low. Stop loss should lie strictly above the order block. TP should be at least a c urrent low. That is how a trade should be executed on USDCAD pair. Remember that there is no guarantee that the order block will be within a liquidity zone. You should learn to track the signs of smart money and their operations. A proper combination of a trend analysis, liquidity zones and order block is the essential basis of a profitable swing trading Forex. Mastering that, practice recognizing the imbalances and confirmations for spotting the best swing trading entries. ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️ I am part of Trade Nation's Influencer program and receive a monthly fee for using their TradingView charts in my analysis.

NZDCHF - Follow the Bears!Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst. 📈NZDCHF has been overall bearish , trading within the falling orange channel and it is currently retesting the upper bound of the channel. Moreover, it is rejecting a structure marked in blue. 📚 As per my trading style: As #NZDCHF is around the red circle zone, I will be looking for trend-following sell setups on lower timeframes. (like a double top pattern, trendline break , and so on...) 📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management. Good luck! All Strategies Are Good; If Managed Properly! ~Rich Disclosure: I am part of Trade Nation's Influencer program and receive a monthly fee for using their TradingView charts in my analysis.

The dollar is still weak against the euroThe EURUSD has risen directly with the market opening without visiting the OB, which was a good area to buy, but that's okay, we now know where its next target will be, which is to sweep the liquidity that is above the Trend line and then break the Main High. An expected scenario may occur when this high is broken, which is SMT (divergence), and there will be a good selling entry with GBPUSD, but until now, we have not anticipated events until this break occurs.

Gold Market Update – Key Zones for the Next MoveHey gold lovers! As the NY session wraps up, the chart is a painting of tension: gold boxed tight between major structure — and the real action is only about to start. Bias: At this stage, gold remains in a short-term bullish structure as long as price holds above the 3421–3428 decision area. A break and hold below this zone would shift the bias to neutral or bearish for the next sessions. 🎨 What’s drawn on the chart? 🟥 3472–3478 Supply Zone: The ceiling, still untouched — this is where every failed breakout has left a “scar” on the chart. If we finally reach this zone, watch for wicks, rejections, or that rare, clean breakout candle. Sellers and patient bulls are both watching for “the drawing” to be complete. 🟩 3383–3390 Demand Zone: The real floor. On your chart, it’s the base built by strong bounces and those long wicks buyers left behind. If price falls here, it’s not just a line: it’s a zone where new rallies are born and the market might “paint” a major reversal. 🟦 The Middle is Just Noise Price is coiling, painting confusion in the center — but the edge zones are where structure and opportunity live. Don’t be the trader who gets erased in the chop. Let price draw the story at supply or demand before making your move. 💡 Plan for Tonight Wait for price to reach 🟥 supply or 🟩 demand. Watch the “drawing” — will you see a wick, a rejection, or a true breakout? Only trade once the story is clear at the edges.

Bitcoin – Breakout Coming, But May Be a TrapBitcoin is trading within a well-defined bullish pennant structure on the 1H chart, with clear compression between a rising support and descending resistance. This pattern typically signals a continuation of the prior trend, but given the surrounding liquidity and recent FVG formation, the setup looks more nuanced. After a liquidity sweep earlier this session, price has rebounded and is currently respecting a newly formed 1H fair value gap within the pennant range. Pennant Structure and Price Reaction The consolidation is tight and clean, with buyers stepping in off the ascending trendline support. This area overlaps with a small FVG that has so far held as intraday support, suggesting active demand. Until this gap is violated, the structure remains intact and favors a breakout play to the upside. However, with a larger unmitigated FVG sitting just under 121,000 and a previous swing high forming a strong liquidity pool, the upside might be limited. Buy Side Liquidity and Reversal Area If price can push above the descending trendline, the next logical target is the buy side liquidity sitting around 120,800 to 121,200. That zone is also where sellers may step in, given it aligns with prior inefficiency and a probable stop hunt level. This makes it a high-probability reversal area. I expect price to take out that buy side before we get a meaningful shift lower again. Displacement and FVG Reactions Any clean displacement toward the upside, particularly into the 121k range, will be key to watch for rejection signs. Should we see rejection or an SFP at the liquidity zone, that would likely confirm the short-term top. At that point, I’d expect a return into the pennant or even a sweep of the trendline support again, setting up a deeper retracement. Short-Term Expectations In the immediate term, as long as price holds above the current FVG and trendline confluence, I expect Bitcoin to slowly grind higher and break out of the pennant. The objective is the liquidity above 120,800. Once that’s taken, I’ll be watching closely for signs of exhaustion or reversal patterns to get positioned short again. Conclusion Bitcoin is compressing within a bullish pennant and currently holding a fair value gap, suggesting bullish continuation in the short term. However, the real play may come after a sweep of the buy side liquidity near 121k, where I expect a bearish rejection and opportunity for downside positioning. The market structure remains neutral to bullish until that liquidity is tagged.
