Trends still show upward movement; CPI Data this weekSo trends that called for upward movement confirmed this upward movement last week. I had mentioned in my last video that the candlestick pattern for May 1st was extremely bullish, the following two days confirmed that movement in my opinion and given that trends called for upward movement, we crossed above the zero line on MACD Momentum into a bullish zone, and we were pushing above that Daily lower high resistance level around 5160, I went long. I did cash that trade out around 5260 for a $5000 trade.
Given the uncertainty of how CPI could come in, I am likely to stick out until I see that data this Wednesday. While I'm not certain what Core CPI will do, and that SHOULD be the main data point we pay attention to, I have concerns based on a 10% hike in gas prices over much of April that Headline CPI could come in above expectations and cause at least an initial panic sell off.
We are nearing the potential for an overbought state on MFI/RSI on the daily, so watch for algo trading around those levels as well, at least on the initial touch. Obviously we rented living space in overbought territory at the beginning of this year, so it doesn't mean we have to reverse at all, especially in this FOMO market.
I continue to see the current conditions as very bullish, in spite of significant concerns I have for the ES Economy overall. While there was a time when the US Markets reflected the state of the US Economy, I think we have a massive disconnect between the two that was caused by the COVID Pandemic. I think the new trend is when the economy looks rough, dump money into Mag 7 / NYFAANG / or basically whatever hyper select group of stocks equals the majority of the market cap out there, which will just push markets higher in spite of economic conditions.
Walmart Earnings on Thursday will be something to watch, moreso as it might show insight into consumer health more than what is actually happening with Walmart.

From Inception to Present: Our Crypto Model's Trades to DateIntroduction
In this idea, we'll analyze the performance of our crypto trend model by breaking down each individual trade made since it went live on 27th July 2023 . We'll delve into key market events that occurred around these trades and the run-up gains or drawdown avoidance achieved by the model.
Trade Breakdown
Short Signal - July 27, 2023
Trade Outcome :
Date : July 27, 2023
Signal : Short📉
Market Context :
Event : In July 2023, Bitcoin faced a significant resistance around $30K, leading to a sharp rejection and subsequent price drop. This resistance level was critical, and the rejection marked the start of a downturn.
Performance : The short signal successfully captured the decline, gaining almost 15% at it's climax on just Bitcoin alone. The model's entry just before the major resistance test was well-timed.
Long Signal - September 19, 2023
Trade Outcome :
Date : September 19, 2023
Signal : Long📈
Market Context :
Event : By mid-September, Bitcoin found solid support around $25,000 after a volatile summer. This support level triggered a significant bounce, making it a prime entry point for a long position.
Performance : The long signal capitalized on the bounce from $25,000, leading to a max run-up of 80% as Bitcoin rallied. Holding positions on altcoins in confluence with this signal would have likely yielded at least twice of what was gained on Bitcoin.
Cash Signal - January 15, 2024
Trade Outcome :
Date : January 15, 2024
Signal : Cash💰
Market Context :
Event : Early January saw a recovery in Bitcoin prices driven by positive macroeconomic signals, such as slowing inflation. However, regulatory pressures and market volatility prompted caution. This pullback was also likely due to the Bitcoin ETFs Launch having a "sell the news" narrative.
Performance : The cash signal helped avoid drawdowns of up to -10.61% and even more on altcoins during a period of increased market uncertainty and regulatory challenges.
Long Signal - January 30, 2024
Trade Outcome :
Date : January 30, 2024
Signal : Long📈
Market Context :
Event :The approval of Bitcoin spot ETFs in January 2024 significantly boosted market sentiment. This approval was a pivotal event, sparking a bullish trend right after a small retracement.
Performance : The long signal leveraged the positive sentiment and regulatory clarity, benefiting from the ensuing price surge and experiencing a max run-up of almost 72% on Bitcoin.
Cash Signal - April 13, 2024
Trade Outcome :
Date : April 13, 2024
Signal : Cash💰
Market Context :
Event :April 2024 witnessed mixed signals with regulatory updates and market corrections. The Financial Stability Board's new regulatory framework added to the cautious market sentiment. And with added FUD coming from Iran's attacks on Israel, the prices of not just crypto but other assets such as stocks started to tumble.
Performance : The cash signal once again helped sidestep market turbulence, preserving gains from earlier trades, essentially avoiding up to -11.51% of drawdowns.
Long Signal - May 17, 2024
Trade Outcome :
Date : May 17, 2024
Signal : Long📈
Market Context :
Event :As of May 2024, the crypto market showed resilience with new institutional interest and advancements in blockchain technology. This renewed interest provided a solid foundation and confluence for a long position
Performance : As the signal came in just 3 days ago as of writing, we will update on the performance of this signal at a later date.
Conclusion
The crypto trend model demonstrated robust performance by effectively navigating through various market conditions and key events. Each and every trade has been overwhelmingly successful, and the model's signals is expected to continue capitalizing on gains and avoid major drawdowns in the future.
Stay tuned for more updates and detailed analyses on our crypto trend model's performance.

Will Bitcoin support Hold ?The 59500 area has been tested multiple times. I believe we may go back higher from here, but what a coincidence - Its FED Day today !! however, until we get back above the angle 3, I would not play longs here. Please note TrapZone is Red with Red Bars below it, so keep an eye on the UMVD. Can you see a LAREGE CHANNEL ???
$BTC: FREMA Trend CaptureDefault settings would look like:
To increase responsiveness to risks and close positions with slightest trend change incentive, it's best to check the following:
Invert BSP
Dynamic Factor
It is adjusted to the market incentive because the SuperTrend governing bands have carry ratios of bulls and bears. It causes bands to fuse with ongoing candle emerging proportions.
Observing different trend phases deeper in history:
For bullish strategy (Open Long / Close Long):
It's better to have multiplier of uptrend band less than downtrend band:
Having uptrend multiplier less than multiplier of second raw will enhance responsiveness of closing bullish positions and lower reaction to creating new bullish positions.
When it's set vice versa - having1st raw factor bigger than the argument of 2nd raw factor, will lower the responsiveness of Opening Short but higher the responsiveness of Closing Shorts.
The bottom like is I'd use this combination of inputs to secure the average trade as Position Entry and Position Close are timed by the proportions between Buying and Selling Pressure.
XCH /USDT (Chia) Secondary trend. Channel.Logarithm. Timeframe 3 days Secondary trend. Zone of the horizontal channel.
Zone of the horizontal channel (accumulation of almost 1 year).
At the moment of publication the price has moved in the parallel horizontal channel of accumulation for 350 days (11.6 months) with the step of 108.4%. This is a good sign. Now the price is in the compression zone (the average price of this accumulation).
This is what this horizontal channel zone looks like on the line chart.
Stop Loss Zone. Rationality of the strategy .
I would like to emphasize that the stop loss under the support of this accumulation has not been knocked out (reset) at this point. This is not a mandatory action, but it is common. Just keep it in mind and consider it a conditional temporary risk, so to speak. To minimize this contingent risk, use a stop loss or, more rationally, work at an average buy/sell price. Let me remind you again that the price is now clamped with orders on the exchange (it has been there conventionally for 6 weeks) and this is the average price of this parallel channel.
I deliberately showed the percentage values of the main support/resistance zones in case of the price compression (6 weeks in a very narrow range) on the chart for orientation and understanding of the logic of work.
Main Trend 3 day time frame.

USD/JPY & GBP/USD UpdateUSD/JPY
The secondary trend on the USD/JPY has printed a trend-changing pattern after breaking above the pullback structure.
This move gives us a piece of crucial information, that we can buy at the low after the current wave structure is complete.
Currently, our high probability trade is selling now to buy later.
GBP/USD
The Cable is bearish because we have seen three trend-changing patterns that constitute a downtrend in the GBPUSD.
Overall the major trend is now resuming to the downside and we want to sell every rally that failed to make a Higher high.
Future AUDUSD selloff very possible Fundamentals : The RBA (Reserve Bank of Australia) kept interest rates at a 12-year high of 4.35%. The COT (Commitment of Traders) Non-Commercial Report for AUDUSD showed a larger number of participants holding shorts over longs but we’ve had about 15k shorts close their positions since the last COT report so there is that going against the bearish sentiment. Net position overall is still negative but it had a positive change of 13k or 13.51% which also goes against the bearish sentiment. % OI for longs is 18.40% while the % OI for shorts is 55.5%, Open Interest being 224.5k which is -14k lower then last weeks reports
Technicals : We get the 3-EMA crossing-over the 10-EMA to the downside while price action is possibly staying underneath both EMAs. Stochastic is facing down while crossing the 50% mark and the Momentum is negative.
Stop loss above the top trend line, Targeting prominent recent Lows.
GOLD SELL - 15 Min EntriesGold has broken out of 2 bullish trend lines and I am looking for a retest of the resistance level before entering a sell position.
Price may sweep the highs to take out the liquidity above resistance before moving bearish.
I will be looking for the retest then waiting for a closure below $2321.30 for extra confirmation.
Trends in upward movement facing some exhaustionTrends are mostly in an upward movement stage, looking to remove the violation left of the 12hr / Daily lower high trend indicators.

Monthly - 5304 Uptrend (03/31/2024) Higher High
As explained in the video, everything is in a higher high between 30m-6hr except the 2hr, which was part of the Powell Pump reversal.
As I explained my trades over last week were a 70 point gain into the Powell Pump, a 70 point reversal after the Powell Pump, and a Long position from 5080 which I cashed out today as we pushed above the Daily downtrend resistance of 5170 for just over $4000. Additionally those Soybean Meal contracts I acquired around 335 were both cashed at around 372 for about $3700 each (I had 2). I don't say this to brag, but moreso to explain why I am not hungry for another trade, as I'm already financially set for the month of May at just under $20,000. This will be why I may seem overly picky about my trades and what may be a good position I may wait if it doesn't look like a borderline perfect trade.
Economic Calendar is very light this week, just jobs data on Thursday.
Earnings calendar is mostly important to watch tomorrow, especially around Disney from my perspective.
Geopolitical tensions could hit a new tension point as Israeli troops move into Rafah.
Overall, my general sentiment on the short term, and probably most of this week, is sideways at the moment.
Safe trading, and remember your risk management.
