Tripple

AMD heading toward support areaFor those of you who are following along with me on my little obsession with AMD, the past week was pretty exciting for those who were shorting the stock as the price dropped out of that short-covering rally like a rock for a $9.46 gain. AMD is now reaching a very uncertain area with 3 support levels to get through and it's actually touched an ascending trend line, so I'm expecting a few bounces to occur. My first short target is the middle of the support area at 59.80, but with hindsight, it should have been 63.62 which is the first support level below the 2-year line. The ultimate target is still 50. It's very possible AMD will make a double-bottom before it gets to 50 so I would look out for that. I'm still bearish at this point.

Illustrated strategy mixSpotted this on silver monthly yesterday, and illustrated how triple threat plays off structure breaks. But these same set ups are found down on most smaller time frames. especially with 5-15 min delorians. So when your delo, or purple zone trade smashes a TP, tripple threat will get you back in at the retest of your TP/structure break when your in a trending market. Applicable on all instruments. Of course: Fundamentals drive the direction of a market and risk management discipline is the only way to grow an account long term.

Cryptoccurency Peercoin vs Btc flag pattern with strong support Bearish movement stopped around 0.0002500 and tried to moved below for 3 consequent months. March comes with strong bounce from that level suggesting trend reversal. Pair bounced from mentioned level and created big bullish candles on monthly weekly and daily chart. Chart 4h intervals reveals quite interesting formations suggesting further gain of ppc vs btc. Energetic movement put pair in consolidation, 0.00050000 level is acting as strong support. Once again I assume that 200 Ema will help pair to bounce higher. My SL is placed far below 5000 mark as safety precautions. Many times pair is doing sharp movement to create doji candle and it triggers most Stop losses close to the strong support, then after candle is formed price is going in desire direction. It is also quite possible that pair will go straight to take profit area that's why I would prefer to open position now rather that wait for more confirmations.

GNE test its triple bottomGenie Energy Ltd. (GNE) is undergoing bad times since it is involved in oil and gas exploration and is deeply correlated with oil prices. However the stock has approached its triple bottom area and seems to be testing this zone for almost eight weeks in a row. Apart from that the company reported second-quarter net income of $3.5 million, after reporting a loss in the same period a year earlier. This gives us a robust indication GNE will rise at least to its previous zone of resistance at $8.10. For more ideas visit mercuriusam.wordpress.com

Putting Spy Into PerspectiveHere's a look at a "mega" weekly pitchfork and major price pivots. The way I drew it, price has recently reacted to the median line, with highs reaching just above the 0.625 pitchfork level (each line is a 0.125 increment of a pitchfork). Of course, this isn't really a valid pitchfork, since prices have never reached the 1.0 level in the first place to create that necessary pitchfork pivot (P1), so this is only a hypothetical pitchfork in a possible future retrospect (if that makes sense?). The "real pitchfork" (RP) has the solid red line as the 1.0 (P1) level and the bottom solid black line as it's 0 (P2) level, with prices reaching as high as the 1.25 level (as the increments would now be twice that of the two-times larger pitchfork - 0.25 increments for RP, instead of the 0.125 that the hypothetical pitchfork uses). In any case, it's to be expected that prices would come back to test the solid red line after breaking through it and the odds favored that it would happen at the 1.25 level to the RP. We have a definite pivot (topping) pattern, similar to what is seen at the other major pivot levels in the past (shown by the squiggly red lines drawn on the chart). The behavior of this potential top is much different than both the 2000 and 2007 stops, both in that its tops are playing at the potential pivot area much longer (with more tests) and in that the corrections to those top tests have made a much wider (volatile), but far less sloping, price channel. What does this all mean? The way I see it, there are two likely scenarios playing out (of course, the actual number of possibilities are endless): 1.) We aren't seeing the top to a major bear market in the making. The slope to the price channel during this correction, and the possibility that price has been reacting with what could become a type of median line in retrospect to a future pitchfork (after the next possible future bull-run completes), both allow for this possibility. In other words, price may be gearing up for another major price move upwards. We would expect that a major median line to a pitchfork would hold up to a lot of tests (act as strong support) and we should expect many tests after price traded so long below it before finally breaking it. The next logical step (after the median line holds up to repeated tests) is for price to go back to testing higher pitchfork levels, with a fairly high probability of the 1.0 level being tested after the strength of the median line was made abundantly clear. 2.) We're simply seeing a different type of start to a major bear market, this time happening with a wider, but less sloping start to the decline, and at the 1.25 pitchfork level (drawn off of the price channel created by the 1990's bull market and two proceeding major bear market corrections). The question is of what importance this very different topping behavior and size (and slope) of the initial price channel correction this will play on how the bear market plays out (will it break out of the channel with a fast and steep drop like in 2007, only more steeply and further down due to more volatility in the initial price channel correction to the topping pattern?). We could see a test of the bottom of RF out of a very steep and quick drop from the current price channel. We could also see a test of the median line to RF, wherein price trades mostly inside of the current price channel. Of the two options presented here, I'd go with the former as the more probable (quick, deep decline out of the current price channel), because it's been so long since the last major correction (bear market) and the topping pattern has taken so long to form (giving signs of storing a lot of "energy" for the move ahead).
