CBRL Broadening Top and Upcoming Dividend! (Price target: ~$176)The Broadening Top pattern forms when the price progressively makes higher highs (1, 3) and lower lows (2, 4) following two widening trend lines. The price is expected to move up or down past the pattern depending on which line is broken first. A bit of a toss up since the broadening top formation appears much more frequently at tops than at bottoms, and therefore usually has bearish implications. In this case, however, we see a strong up-trend with an Average Directional Index just shy of the 25 mark. Set limit order above market price to be sure we are looking at a bull broadening top, or for added risk buy the retracement when RSI corrects below 70. For best results take 50% position at each. Consider stop-loss below breakout price.
Added confidence from the fact that Cracker Barrel is recording a $1.20/share dividend on Jan 11th, issued on Feb 5th. Dividend hunters could help drive this trend up. CBRL reports earnings 02/20 BMO and Estimize revenue expectations are 0.77% higher than Wall Street's.

Qtum VS Bitcoin Rising To Form Double Top?Qtum managed to break above the descending channel and 200 Moving Average suggesting that is it ready to continue trending upwards. QTUM/BTC producing higher highs and higher lows while trading within the ascending channel.
The overall trend is definitely bullish and Qtum should be moving higher to test 227.2% Fibonacci retracement level applied to the corrective wave after the descending channel breakout. This resistance is based at btc 0.0056 which is very close to the previously formed top in August last year.
The btc 0.0056 is the very first strong resistance for Qtum and it would be interesting to see the price action around this level, which should provide more clues about the further direction of QTUM/BTC. At this point, Qtum could continue trading within the ascending channel and could even move back to test the 38.2% Fibonacci support, which in fact has been already rejected. In the worst case scenario price could drop towards the 200 Moving Average, but only break below it should invalidate bullish outlook.

Bitcoin Double Top? Don't Bet On It.BTCUSD update: 17579 is a new high, but barely compared to 17171. This is the double top variation scenario that I wrote about in my previous report. Is the top in place?
After watching the kind of vertical moves that have occurred in ETH and LTC, this appears to be an anything goes market so even though these conditions are rare and high risk, the strength is clear and must be acknowledged. This means the bearish signs that do appear do not carry as much weight.
In the case of this market, I wrote about the double top variation which is what is unfolding at the moment. Price makes a new high, but not much higher within the reversal zone (below 18300). In a normal market this would be a sign of coming weakness and even offer potential short signals on smaller time frames. The problem is this is NOT a normal market.
I realize there are a lot of people itching to short this market because reward/risk is attractive at these levels and even a relatively small move lower is worth a couple of thousand points. And if you have the risk tolerance and ability to put a short position on, this would be a better time to try compared to the previous price action. Just remember keep this in mind: Weak markets do not sit and consolidate near highs. They reject resistance fast which is not happening right now.
This is why acknowledging the bigger picture is so important because it sets expectations that are more in line with the intent of the market. Newer traders see a bearish pattern and jump on it with high expectations while the position may offer some profit, but expectations should be limited until this market shows significant signs that a broader correction is more likely which it is not doing right now.
Until this market breaks some significant support levels like 12400, it is more likely to consolidate and attempt to go higher. In this bullish environment, support levels are more likely to hold.
As far as swing trades go, I want to see price retest the 12400 area (.382 of bullish structure measured from the 4k low) and then show reversal patterns for a retest of the high. Also the 14280 level is an interesting area because it is a .382 of the bullish structure measured from the 8821 low. IF the market retests these levels, it could be setting up a head and shoulders formation on a large time frame which would then imply a short term top is in place, but right now it is too early to tell while the broader structure still exhibits strength. If I am going to take swing trade I want to be in line with the bigger picture, not against it.
In summary, a -500 or more day in a market that has the ability to move 2k is not much. Maybe the futures are beginning to have the effect that I have been writing about as far as bringing more of a balance. We can sit here and speculate about how and why, but again the market doesn't care what we think. As a price action trader, I am always comparing current price action to previous structure and history, and evaluating that information in light of the bigger picture which carries the most weight. So using what is available now to answer "is the top in place?" the answer is no, because there is not enough supporting evidence to make a strong argument. Remember making money in vertical markets does not require skill, but keeping that money is a different story. If the market is not coming to you, there is no need to put on a trade. Flat is a position too.
Questions and comments welcome.
ETHUSD At Top Of its Tree in Near TermETHUSD At the top of its tree in near term
Although ETH has struggled for a large part of the last 30 days, it has now doubled from a low at 313 to today's high
at 626. Not bad for a straggler. But it's probably at its upside limits in the near term here and needs to
consolidate some more below the upper parallel before it can go again. May well hammer out a small flag for the
next few hours, especially if 617 keeps stopping the next advance. To clear the way for the next advance from
hereETH would have to find enough power to beat the upper parallel and then to turn it into support on the next
retest from above once broken through. Can either close out longs here and lock in profits and be ready to buy on a
successful near term break above the upper parallel or potentially to buy again from lower down, from 577-551 range.
I'm Already Out Looking to Re-enter BTC Perfect HThis is what I am betting is the SFB. Hopefully it retraces to the axis of the other perfection we have seen lately allowing me to re-enter bitcoin at a reasonable price thus pulling off a beginner's luck Holy Grail trade multiplying my BTC purse and my USD purse..
You gotta have goals in life ! haha..
Best of luck in the world to you Heartbeaters !!
Dare trade the deadly Heartbeat "H"
Of course be ready for this to just go strength to strength if my identification is wrong and this is really an ASH / WM i.e. bullish As !!
BTCUSD May See Resistance Around 12000BTCUSD is trading in a bullish impulse of a higher degree, labeled as black wave V. We see four of fives bullish waves completed from 11th of November, which indicate that a top can be near. Current rally that is now underway can be final wave 5 of V, that can see limited upside near the upper Elliott wave channel and near the Fibonacci ratios of 2.618 or 1.0 ; all three elements have a common thing, they offer resistance so be aware of a three-wave bearish reversal.

BTCUSD - When to top upI'm a big believer in BTC long term and whilst it's likely to correct, I'm holding my position. This post is not about shorting or selling as I just wouldn't want to bet against this market. It is about trying to identify the right time to top up.
It is interesting how two different time frames can show two very different pictures. The hourly chart shows a parallel or upward flag forming with support pushing back any drops. RSI has moved into neutral territory. This might suggest to top up now.
On the other hand, looking at the bodies of the candlesticks, the daily shows a continued upward trend with yesterday being just a 'small blip'. However the RSI is showing overbought at 79 and close to 80. BTCUSD has had a close between 80 and 81 four times in the past five months, each time a consolidation followed. Even with all the positive momentum and 200k+ Coinbase customers per day, this suggests a consolidation is due.
So where will it go?
Take a look at this table.

In the last five months, we typically see a drop of around 9% the next day. This is then followed by a low, on average, 9 days later of 19%. However, breaking those down, we can see that excluding the 14 Aug and 14 Oct, the average drop was 31%.
Given the risk of a significant correction at this stage, I'm ignoring the 9% drops. I'm keen to get in if we see a correction similar to Sept and Nov. I'll spread my buy in so I don't miss an opportunity or buy in too high. The table above shows how I spread this to get an average buy in of 24% down (7,938) from the high on the wick of candle on the day close of RSI 80+. I have assumed this to be 10,500 but will adjust as events unfold.
If this correction doesn't happen, great, I'm in long term, so I'm happy either way. I just dont want to top up too early or miss an opportunity to do so.
Cheers monkia
p.s. I recently came across tradingview and thought, why not share these so I can get opinions, feedback and challenges to these ideas. So all feedback welcome!
Bitcoin - Wave 3/ peaked at 9,722Bitcoin just peaked in wave 3/ of 5 and a correction towards 7,973 will now be expected before the final rally in wave 5/ of 5 of (3) towards 10,444.
We are not quite at the final top of wave (3), but we are getting close and the risk/reward ratio no longer supports being long or at least demands that stops is tightened.
comming targets around $8800 and $10000?assuming we finally break resistance comming targets should be $8800 based on the prior ascending triangle that we broke followed by backtest to prior resistance line or eventually 2.618 fib followed by either a crash or blowing off 3.618 rise to $10200 which might be the top for 2017, otherwise if support holds along the purple striped line we could se another bullish move going beyond 10k ..
We getting kinda topy must admit however bubless usually go way higher then everyone thinks I'd like to reffer to masterluc's 40k-110k bubble target here.
