Short Term Mean Reversion! Bullish Break for BTC?"Oversold" is a condition weighted by the volatility of the previous defined range. With a very tight trading range an oversold condition will appear significantly MORE oversold than as defined by a longer period. During this most recent drop, it's likely you've read dozens of Bitcoin predictions telling you to buy the dip, this is another one of those posts (but I hope with clearer logic as to why it's a good idea this time.) When the bellcurve surrounding price action becomes too wide, it requires more force to continue expanding it. The more mass something has, the harder it is to push. Currently, the "mass" surrounding bitcoin is massive, though that doesn't mean much until a condition is met. It's when the bellcurve around price to starts to compress that you can make accurate predictions. There are only two conditions in the market, trending and not trending. For the 4h chart's 200 period we are defined as "not trending." When an overexpanded bellcurve starts to compress price is driven to the center of the data. Currently for bitcoin that price target is 4,600. Withe the rolling up of the 20 period CCI, it provides solid entry into a solid condition. This trade has an excellent profit ratio. Your target should be the 4h 200 MA. Your stop loss should be a local low. If you're interested in learning more about the concept of "mass" in the markets, check the links in the signature of this post. Trading is a high risk endeavor and you should always do your own research.

USDCAD: After BoC Interest Rate Good afternoon everyone, we are looking at the USDCAD pair again after the BoC Interest Rate decision. They did not change anything so the news were not that good for the CAD and for our long term short trade, that we linked below. On the other hand the pattern is pretty much the same as before. The only difference is that there is another spike high and a better entry chance for now - divergence also held its form. Means we are still overall bearish on this pair.

Bitcoin: Last weeks action and coming weeks forecast (49)Weekly The weekly chart is not the chart I trade, but it always important in terms of finding the right context. The charts shows me a number of things which make think that a bullish relief rally is due. The first indication is the flatness of the trend line and the distance between trend line and price. Second is the overextension signal printed on the previous candle and the reversal signal (the green bar) on this candle. This weeks candle has not closed yet, so that reversal signal is not confirmed, but as long as it closes above 4096 we should be good. Third is the shape of the candle, which is not exactly there yet. There’s still a few hours to go, and ideally I would like to see the candle close at the highs. The least I’m looking for is for the top wick to be shorter than the bottom wick. What I don’t like about this bounce is that it apparently is happening in the middle of nowhere (according to my TA). I would have expected price to move down at least to the 200MA at around 3200 and probably down to 3000. And I do see still see that as something that will happen, perhaps not in the coming weeks though. Daily On the daily chart I can see the first signs of a relief rally forming. I made a wrong trade this week based on the green reversal bar and subsequent hammer candle. It’s actually a nice trade to illustrate what went wrong, but most importantly why I went wrong. I’ll write an article on that in the coming week, and I’ll also discuss where the trade was that I should have taken. Although I made a mistake when timing and executing that trade, the daily chart still tells me that the direction of the trade is valid. Trend line is flat and theres a good distance between trend line and price. We had a reversal bar and a reversal candle, and we broke the IBR from the reversal bar. Price made it into the trend cloud and is hanging in there. I can see it going up further from here, as long as we don't close beneath the bar that printed the re-entry signal. The absolute safe thing to do here is not trade. If you’re trading this system, you should have either exited the short at the overextension signal follow by the hammers, or moved the stop to 4420. Then you can wait for price to reach the trend line and look for a re-entry signal into a short there (or if it breaks through we may get a long opportunity). The re-entry signal that printed two days ago can be ignored since it is at the bottom of the trend cloud. Safest re-entry signals are at or at least near to the trend line. More adventurous traders can still take a swing at a long, although in my opinion the safest countertrend long has already passed (I’ll talk about that when I evaluate the boo-boo I made). I am taking a jab at a long, but recognising that I may be a bit late, and adjusting the risk (position size) accordingly. Sometimes you must indulge yourself and allow yourself to take a more risky trade. You need to offset that risk though in your position sizing.. You can find a link to the long setup on the 4HR chart below 4HR Weekly forecast The weekly and daily charts both tell me that we’ll most probably see either some ranging of some relief up to around 5000. If that happens I’ll get in long for a bit according to the 4HR setup and look for signs of weakness to exit around the trend line at 5000. I am bit bit late to this trade, but have to allow myself some fun, so I'll adjust my position size accordingly and allow myself only to take a minute risk. If I get a clean re-entry signal short I’ll enter short there too, but that all depends on if, when, and how we get there. And what price does if it gets there. If we don’t get any relief, and price starts breaking down, I’ll wait for a new setup to form. I can gladly miss the drop from 4000 to 3000. Trading is not about being in every single move an asset makes, it about trying to weasel yourself into the safe ones. I made a good profit on the last short, if I miss this one there;s no harm done.

GOLD: And Here Is Another Update & Why We Secured ProfitHey guys here is another trade update. We are looking at XAUUSD from previous idea, but on a lower time frame and right before FOMC statement. So be careful out there anyway. In the comment section on the last Gold idea i said that we closed our profit with +180 pips, but there is much more potential on the long side - BUT not now. I think Gold might retouch last lows on the daily and here is the short term outlook on the 1h chart. You can see a bearish cycle between larger structure consolidation. Our entry was pretty much at the bottom of this. To risky to let it run there again. So lets be patient and wait for another move down and then enter our long again.

BTC $6,000 Officially Broken!Welcome, with this bitcoin update , as you all know bitcoin is flanking. But now the question is what will happen to bitcoin? And looking at history? Of course I have already indicated it, we were in a D-triangle and 70% of the time it breaks down to the trend of below. There was a lot of support around the $ 6,000 / $ 5,900 , but finally 70% of the time a D-triangle breaks to the side where the market is going and thus down. So, of course, this was not such a big surprise. What does bitcoin do at present? At the moment bitcoin is at $ 5,500, well all we have a restistence level at $ 5,550 that has to go through, which is currently being rejected. And that is still a problem, you would think well are there not enough buyers for bitcoin? Or do they want that bitcoin even lower? think of levels $ 4,900 / $ 4,800 . personally, I expect that we will look for that channel. Follow us for more daily updates of the market.

Litecoin (LTC) Core 0.17 will make it x10 cheaperFollowing our previous idea on Litecoin, where Blockstream announced about the LTC potentially joining the Liquid network, now there are even more good news. Litecoin client release is on its’ way, which was announced on the official Medium blog page of the Litecoin Foundation. LTC Core 0.17 will introduce a faster and cheaper Litecoin, with a very low transaction costs, which can be compared of that in 2015. Below is the quote of the official announcement: "The average transaction fee as it stands on the network is L0.001 per KB or ~$0.05. With the announced changes that will soon become L0.0001 per KB or ~ $0.005, half a cent and back at 2015 levels." This is huge for the Litecoin, because transaction costs will be literally reduced by x10. It’s actually almost inline with the recent Monero announcement, where they recently reduced the transaction cost by 97%. The reaction to the news announcement was taken very positively by the market. You may ask how come?; LTC hasn’t gained much, in fact, its moving very slowly! But let’s take a closer look at the price development. According to our previous idea on LTC/BTC, Litecoin has reached the support level at 427.2% Fibonacci retracement level, rejected it and started to move north. By looking at the chart, it is clear that LTC/BTC has produced a double bottom near the etc 0.007 area. After the price bounce, it reached the and broke move the 23.6% fibonacci resistance, which currently acting as the support. The RSI oscillator trigged a buy signal while breaking above the downtrend trendline. So far price action is being very positive, while showing the potential for more growth. As long as Litecoin remains above the 0.00795 support, bullish momentum should be increasing. At some point price will reach the 0.008 resistance area, and if broken, next stop will be near btc 0.009. But in any case, investors will be paying attention to the etc 0.0076 support, where double bottom has been formed. If support will be taken out, LTC can drop down to 0.0073 area. Nevertheless, the timing for buying LTC could be just about right for some investors. And combined with a relatively cheap price, large buyers might start getting involved in LTC trading. As the downtrend is dominated, the risk will remain very high, although the rewards could be much higher. Please do not consider this article as a call to buy LTC, but look at it as a map, which may help you to trade Litecoin more effectively.

Time for an updateWell, it's been a looooooong and boring time since I last posted here about BTSBTC, and I guess we are finally at a meaningful point. Looking at the chart, it's not a question of wether or not the fib channel is valid or not, because it obviously is. The million dollar question is: will we stay inside the fib channel or not. If we stay inside the channel, we might very well look up the center line again which would mean a pretty steep drop. I know a lot of people think the only way is up at the moment, but I'm not so sure. We had something that looked like a 3-wave up over the last 2 days, but volume is so low it's almost non-existent, so I would hardly call that impulsive. In the meantime king Bitcoin is also low on volume and moving ever more sideways. Don't fall into the trap of thinking there are only 2 options, a huge burst up or down. There is also the option of remaining boringly sideways for a lot longer. Guess what that would do the alts market? Alt season or a slow withering away of interest?

TRON will be 200x faster than ETH and 100x cheaper than EOS?On Sunday, 7th of October, Justin Sun (Tron CEO) posted an update on twitter: twitter.com The twit stated that in the upcoming update, Tron would become 200 times faster than Ethereum and 100 times cheaper than EOS. This is a very optimistic clam made by Mr. Sun, but if the claim will become the reality, price of TRX could increase substantially against the Bitcoin. Will “buy the rumor, sell the news” approach will work this time? After the announcement was made, price of TRX/BTC has jumped by 11% within 7 hour period. It has reached the 429 satoshis high, and broke above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level. Obviously, since Tron has formed a double bottom at 270 satoshis support, price has been steadily increasing, producing higher highs and higher lows. This is the first sing of an uptrend, which at this stage is likely to continue. Investors should consider the fact that price broke above the Fibonacci resistance, 200 Moving Average and RSI oscillator broke above the resistance line, suggesting an increasing interest in Tron. As any market, Tron is moving in waves and currently it is reasonable to expect a corrective move down, which has already started. The question is how far down price might drop, and whether it will be just a correction or a downtrend continuation. Based on the VPVR trade volume indicator, most trading volume occurred at the price of 330 satoshis, which is also a 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level. It seems logical to expect TRX to correct down towards this level, before and if the uptrend will continue. At the same time this support level should be watched for either the breakout or a rejection, which should give more insight on further price development. To summarize, Tron looks bullish against the Bitcoin, and there is certainly room for growth. But, buying Tron might seem too risky, considering the ongoing downside correction. The support at 330 satoshis should play an important role and will likely indicate where it is heading in the near term future.

Per Request: $BCD Should You Enter & Where Is The Exit Level?Bitcoin Diamond not really long time ago was having a really manipulated market as the maintenance happened on Binance wallet, causing the local market on Bitcoin Diamond locked and pumped while other exchange follow through with such percentage and most traders really trading speculatively hoping that they can buy cheap and dump it on Binance. Yes it's work. For me. I'm the one who do so even i'm not selling on Binance because i know based on my experience i won't have time and luckily i'm right. Even, i'm profiting twice. Big profit and really small percentage of it afterwards just based on speculative reasons. Unfortunately, not many was like me. Some might trapped on the higher price as side effect of that for real. So some of them might looking for an entry right now for averaging down their holding (DCA - Dollar Cost Average / BCA - Bitcoin Cost Average). At the moment Bitcoin Diamond sitting on precisely 30K sats. This fork was quite hyped back then. BCD having 10x total supply of Bitcoin, I'm not really sure, but if they think they can replace the original Bitcoin, they might go wrong. Since that many supply must be for scalable purpose tho. Sure thing is they are listed on quite many exchange as benefit of fork. Plus due to Bitcoin ORIGINAL volatility, we can only lean on the chart right now. A slight bullish in my opinion, with 45:30:25 for Bullish:Bearish:Sideway. Indicators looks good at the moment, my bullish tendencies will have 4% - 15% target on few days ahead at least. Black dots, plus the RSI level still giving it room for a slight growth before it might take a chill donw. Otherwise, we need to see that if price action break my box and lines we will go bearish and re-asses the chart, probably it will invalidated this setup; or if it stay in it it will go sideway, most likely. Trade safe! If you're looking for higher time frame, really it will be such a waste, as this stuff really linked on BTC price.

#BTC Market Updates: 09/24/18#BTC Market Updates OUTLOOK: Bullish Double Bottom Bullish Reversal confirmed on Friday, but follow-through has stalled. Nevertheless, outlook Remains bullish while above neckline of 6600$. Immediate resistance seen at 6970$. UTC close below 6600$ would neutralize Bullish Outlook. Playing into the wedge still, currently have a falling 'upward' Sell Setup on the 4 which is always a bit abnormal. Last saw the 'upward' Sell Countdown on the 11 of 13 2 days ago, so looking at the Fisher about to cross may indicate we are looking for Bullish price flip very soon. This would most likely test the wedge top, and before that even, test the Senkou B bottom line of the red resistance Kumo cloud, last tested the first week of September. but was rejected. The thinning pressure from said Kumo cloud may back up this movement potential. The ADX is low as we are, for the most part trending sideways, and DMI is consolidating to a current crossing to become bearish most likely. Also, POC is below current price action, so another bit of a bearish indication that we could continue down, creating yet more wave action trading into the wedge, before any Bullish breakouts. Overall we're seemingly Bullish here, like always, long as we continue positive sentiment and don't have any FUD freakouts haha. Trending into the wedge and overall consolidating for weeks now is pushing us into a squeeze, but will be get a upward breakout to catch back up to 7k levels?

DAX: Dax Index Almost out of the MireDax Index After rallying from the 11895-11869 range - leaving one defiant spike at the lower line and the bodies of the 1 hour candles sitting on the upper line - the Dax is now testing the first resistance line at 12093 and should rally to 12141-12166 range though it may wait for the US open to do so. This range is the underside of important structure to left of price. It has to break above 12166 to follow long again back to 121315 and then 12498, unless buying the next dip which may come over lunch in Europe. On the downside the Dax has to break below the dynamic support line rising from the recent lows to return to negative from here. It's still in a tricky spot technically whilst trapped below that old structure up to 12166 but the World Index looks positive (see update) so it looks like this will get dragged higher in its wake for the next day or two. Look to buy dips for now but it will need US power to help it beat 12166 later on today. The World Index chart suggests that should be forthcoming later.
