Tue 18th Mar 2025 BTC/USD Daily Forex Chart Buy SetupGood morning fellow traders. On my Daily Forex charts using the High Probability & Divergence trading methods from my books, I have identified a new trade setup this morning. As usual, you can read my notes on the chart for my thoughts on this setup. The trade being a BTC/USD Buy. Enjoy the day all. Cheers. Jim
Second ShootWe touched the upper trendline of the 2017 channel twice, marking new ATHs in late 2024 and early January 2025. Following the second touch, we shifted from the previous bullish channel into the current bearish channel, simultaneously completing a correction that was overdue for at least half a year. The potential breakout point from this bearish channel is expected around mid-May.
Last chance to short gold💡Today, gold hit a low of around 2980 during its decline. Obviously, gold's decline has not reached its peak! There is still demand for gold to continue to retreat.
💡At present, gold has rebounded to above 2998 again, but gold has not broken through the 3005-3010 zone during multiple rebound tests. The upper space has been compressed smaller and smaller, and the bullish momentum has been largely consumed. Gold is expected to seek a breakthrough downward;
💡In the process of multiple rebounds, the momentum of the rebound has gradually weakened, the bull market confidence above 3000 is not strong, the confidence of bulls is not firm, and after the profit realization and selling psychology gradually gain the upper hand, gold is likely to have a flash crash!
📉So we can short gold in the 3000-3010 zone! The first target: 2985-2975, followed by 2965-2955

ABT long at 126.75 -- bad new is good news (for me)ABT got some bad news today when a Missouri judge ruled there would be a retrlal regarding a court case involving ABT's baby formula, and the stock, which was already down 3 days in a row, got thumped. While I don't dismiss long term risk from that news, I'm not in this for the long haul. I will likely be long gone before anything happens with that retrial.
What matters to me is this:
-ABT is one of the top 3% stocks for my system, historically. That rating is based on trade performance, the length of its trading history, and several other factors related to safety and trade performance that I use.
-It is down 4 out of 5 days, and that in itself has some historical precedent as a long trade setup for short-term trades, though I must admit - it hasn't worked all that well for me lately.
-it's in the middle of its 6M high/low range. Not ideal, but not bad either.
-it is still solidly in an uptrend going back to 2024.
-I'm not convinced the market jitters are over and it ideally is less risky than some more typically volatile stocks.
-historical performance (combined actual and backtested) for ABT with my trading system:
1819-0 W/L prior to today
+2.08% average gain per lot traded
18 trading day average hold per lot
Avg. return = .116%/day (2.7x better per day returns than the stock market, historically)
So for all those reasons, I went long before the close at 126.75. Per my usual strategy, I'll add to my position at the close on any day it still rates as a “buy” and I will use FPC (first profitable close) to exit any lot on the day it closes at any profit.
As always - this is intended as "edutainment" and my perspective on what I am or would be doing, not a recommendation for you to buy or sell. Act accordingly and invest at your own risk. DYOR and only make investments that make good financial sense for you in your current situation.
BTC → Bitcoin Retrace to $69,500? Or Bounce to $150,000?The short version, the probability that Bitcoin tests the breakout price around $69,500 is very high. That's simply the nature of breakouts; bulls take profits (sell orders) until the previous high is reached, at which point the bulls start buying again, and the bears take their profits (buy orders), driving the market up for another leg.
The question is, what is our next move as traders? Or even Bitcoin investors?
How do we trade this? 🤔
Let's zoom out to the Monthly chart. Bitcoin is resting on the 9EMA, a support area we've closed above it since September of 2023. Our current context is we've broken out of the 2021 cycle high of $69,500 and reached a new high just shy of $110,000. It's clear we're in pullback mode right now, so far-reaching down to $78,000.
Fundamentally, there aren't many catalysts for bullish activity. Bulls are simply taking profit at the first 6-figure Bitcoin price, which is both a psychological and technical price for selling. Monetary policy is still in a state of qualitative tightening, inflation has been slowly rising since September 2024, from 2.4% to 3%. Not a dramatic move, which certainly isn't helping Bitcoin move to the upside. Bitcoin seems to respond more to monetary policy than inflation rates and while the rates have steadily climbed, it's not enough to shock the market, while monetary policy has largely stayed the same.
Technical analysis shows TOTAL, TOTAL2, and TOTAL3 crypto market cap charts all were rejected at key resistance areas in early December. Bitcoin broke the 2021 right shoulder around $46,000 to $73,000, then had a measured move up to $109,000, about a 55% move each, give or take. We're simply in a state where we've reached a key resistance level after a breakout while the market as a whole is in a state of uncertainty. I believe that uncertainty will lead to a capitulation down to the high $ 60,000s, even if it's a quick wick. This would likely lead to a $1,500 ETH, $1.50 XRP, it may look ugly. But take a look at past cycles; a 30-40% pullback for Bitcoin is just another Thursday in the crypto market. The alts can pull back as much as 50%-60%.
I think we wait for the buy signal. Look for a pullback to the breakout area at $69,500, and wait for the market to tell us that we found the buy zone with a strong candle close on or near its high on the Daily chart, likely somewhere around $75,000. Then I believe $150,000 is the area for this cycle high based on the Lifetime Resistance and measured move target. The measured move shows a 57% move up after the breakout; if we take that 57% move up and stack it on the mid-price of the current trading range at $91,000, that takes us to right around $150,000. Anything beyond that is a bonus. I think from there, it makes a second attempt to breach the high, followed by our 12-18 month bear market as shown in the chart.
💡 Trade Idea 💡
Long Entry: $75,000
🟥 Stop Loss: $55,000
✅ Take Profit #1: $105,000
✅ Take Profit #2: $135,000
⚖️ Risk/Reward Ratio: 1:3
🔑 Key Takeaways 🔑
1. Breakout above 2021 Cycle High $69,500
2. Psychological and technical high of $100,000 reached
3. Pullback phase has been in motion since December, breakout zone is the buy target
4. Wait for a two-legged pullback toward the Monthly 30EMA (breakout zone), look for strong buy signal, large bull candle closing on or near its high.
5. RSI is near 64.00 and below the Moving Average. Wait for contact and a drop toward 60.00 in concurrence with the price action to enter.
💰 Trading Tip 💰
It's reasonable to take half profits at the first resistance target in a long trade, or the first support target in a short trade. Using a 1:1 Risk/Reward Ratio for your first target, you can move your stop loss up to your entry price, locking in profits. This allows you to watch the rest of the trade execute without worry of losing money. This helps improve trading psychology and the equity in your account.

Excellent window for gold-------News---
The U.S. inflation data for February was released, and the data showed that the U.S. inflation in February fell across the board, exceeding expectations. The decline in inflation also gave the Federal Reserve more room and possibility for interest rate cuts, and also slightly reduced the concerns originally caused by tariffs. However, with the full implementation of tariffs on Europe, retaliation from Europe also followed, and concerns about the global economic downturn also intensified. The U.S. dollar index rebounded slightly and then fell again.
Gold hourly line pattern chart;
Spot gold; Previously, the gold market continued its strong upward trend, and the bulls performed extremely well. On Wednesday, gold successfully broke through the key resistance level of 2930, breaking the previous confinement and opening the upward channel. On Thursday, the rally not only continued, but also entered a large-volume stage, directly breaking through the previous high of 2956, and without any stop, the highest impact reached 2990. The daily line closed with a long positive line, showing a strong pattern of three consecutive positive attacks. On Friday night, it even reached above 3000. You can short sell near 3000 above, and continue to hold the short positions at the previously arranged points. Reduce positions at the target area of 2970, and exit all positions when it reaches 2950.

Bitcoin 90K is now major resistance which will dump price to 70KAs we said before near 77K$ to 80K$ support zone we may have a two weeks less or more range zone and this range started but soon after this support zone break we are looking for dump to the next support which is 70K$ also major resistance here is now near 89K$ which is mentioned on the chart with yellow zone too and heavy sell pressure is there.

BTCUSD: If trading, buy or sell?Dear traders, are you still wondering how to trade BTCUSD? Short or buy? Then take a look at Jack's ideas.
BTCUSD: The stability of the market is uncertain. The Asian market opened low and went down. The London market repaired the low opening range. The highest intraday reached 83890 and the lowest reached 82000. The range is close to 2000 points. There is no more news to boost it. Only the demand as a strategic reserve currency has been boosted. Benefiting from the increase in tariffs and geopolitical uncertainties. In terms of operation, it is still mainly buying at low levels. 81000-81500 is a reasonable operation range. When the specific content of the dominant news is announced, other direction choices will be made.
NIFTY showing signs of REVERSAL As we can see NIFTY can be seen in more like flag-pole pattern which shows bullish continuation structure and trading around resistance which previously acted as support making it weaker hence any closing above the pattern can show 23000++ in no time so plan your trades accordingly and keep watching.
Gold is testing the barrier again! About to plungeGold hit a new record high again on Friday, reaching 3005 at one point, and also perfectly reaching 3000 points. Obviously, the bulls' goal has been basically achieved. The current K-line must fall back. Moreover, Trump imposed sanctions on the Middle East at the weekend, but the gold price did not rise. Obviously, the bulls are also weak.
From the perspective of gold trend, the situation between Russia and Ukraine has become confusing again under the background of the originally expected clear situation, so the risk aversion sentiment has heated up again. In addition, the global trade concerns caused by Trump's tariff policy have led to the intensification of the risk of global economic recession. The uncertainty of the market has also increased again. At this time, gold has become the most sought-after product in the market. From a technical point of view, gold has repeatedly rushed to the 3000 mark last week. On Friday, it pulled out a Yin cross star at a historical high. There is a need for adjustment in the short term. Don't watch it blindly for the time being.
There is an obvious bearish engulfing at the top of the gold four-hour line, that is, the big Yin line entity directly covers the Yang line entity, forming a top signal. At the same time, the K-line is also seriously deviated from the moving average. It is an abnormal trend again. The decline is inevitable, and returning to the moving average is also a certain short selling.

The bear is coming soon, TP: 2965-2955Bros, bears are about to see the dawn!
Gold is fiercely fighting for control in the 2985-3000 zone. Although the winner has not been completely decided, the balance of victory is tilting towards the bears!
As gold stands above the 3000 mark, the upper space is relatively compressed, and the liquidity is getting lower and lower. Gold needs to retreat to increase liquidity! Judging from the candle chart, gold stood above 3000 twice and then quickly fell back, forming two obvious upper shadow lines, indicating that the bull market is not completely convincing, and it is very likely that a double-top structure will be technically constructed to further stimulate the decline of gold!
At present, gold has not been able to effectively fall below 2880. In addition to having a certain support structure, it is more likely to be a bull market trap! So in the next short-term trading, I do not recommend continuing to chase gold. You can use the 3005-3015 zone as resistance and boldly short gold! Then wait patiently for gold to fall back to the 2965-2955 zone.

XAUUSD: Is Now a Good Time to Buy or Sell?XAUUSD: How to trade? Short or long. If you don't know. You can take a look at Jack's ideas.
After last week's epic impact, XAUUSD reached a high of 3004. After a slight adjustment last Friday, it fell to a low of 2978.
Latest news: Houthi armed forces have escalated risks. For air strikes, Houthi armed forces will continue to resist to the end.
On Tuesday, US President Trump will have a phone call with Russian President Putin. The specific content of the negotiation includes land and tax issues. If this is the last discussion before the ceasefire, then XAUSUD will weaken significantly after the ceasefire. Because this is the biggest hot topic in the market at present, when risk aversion declines, then XAUUSD's decline will definitely be significant. It is expected to reach at least below 2950. Of course, the content of the call is unpredictable, so if the negotiation is still fruitless, the conflict will escalate again.
The XAUUSD dynamics from the Asian market to the London market on Monday were very stable. Maintaining a narrow high movement. Close to the start of the New York market, the market is active, and the current price is "2996 US dollars/ounce."
As the short-term trading direction of XAUUSD, I still think it is reasonable to buy at a low level. At the same time, keep selling at a high position to get a small spread. "The sell order needs to be closed near 2980-2983". Because the market news has not completely locked the bearish trend. So pay attention to the trading risks when trading.
If the test position of 2993 does not break down, then continue to hold the long order.

FTM | FANTOM | Altcoin with GREAT UPSIDE POTENTIALFTM has recently increased 11% in the weekly, but is making more red candles in the daily and the impulse up seems to be over for now.
Looking at the corrections, from -45% to -80% is not uncommon for Fantom.
The good news, is that the bottom is likely close - and from here, there exists great upside potential.
I am NOT saying we can't fall lower here - infact, a full retracement may be likely, just as we saw the previous cycle. In which case, the upside is even bigger. 30c is indeed a very popular demand zone:
