BTCUSD Mark UpI feel like I haven't viewed Bitcoin in awhile. However, these are my areas of interest which I'll track for the time being. Things can change as price move forward but BTC emerged from my HTFZ (8783.3) and now approaching a new level (9640 - 9700). If the new level is respected then that means a short opportunity should present itself, and if engulfed then I would wait for price to end up on the opposite side. We shall see.
Euro Dollar / US Dollar Mark UpEU was making classic LHs & LLs on the Daily chart which led price right into a HTFZ (1.0820 - 1.1016) where price not only reversed but broke out of a bull channel. Although I'm bullish I would like to see price dip back down around the 1.0991 - 1.1035 levels before a strong rally happens.
Since EURUSD engulfed a zone on Friday's closing candle I would look to see if Sunday's open start above the 1.1163. If so, I would look for price to retest that level before going long. I also would reference the previous LHs for areas of take profits instead of trading price to the next level which starts at the 1.1736 point. We shall see.
NOT TRADING ADVICE!!
British Pound / US Dollar Mark UpGU's price is approaching a HTFZ (1.3000 - 1.3170) while in a bear channel along with bullish momentum from LTFZs and off a PPZ. If the barrier is respected then I would be bearish for the upcoming week(s).
I try not to base my analysis off of any indicators, but I will say that I noticed the RSI divergence being shown on the 4H chart as far as price is printing HHs & HLs while the RSI is showing LHs & LLs.
What I would look to do is short GBPUSD right before price reaches the next 'fresh' subsequent level (1.2195 - 1.2330) which is also a HTFZ. The 1.2400 price would more than likely be my TP which is right above a HTF diagonal support. However, since it's a nice way down I would scale price instead of riding it completely to the next zone.
If price happens to breach & ultimately engulf my barrier then I'll patiently wait to react on the opposite side. That also will give me clues to the bias possibly changing too. We shall see.
NOT TRADING ADVICE!!
Dollar Index Mark UpI'm usually Neutral since I look to go with the flow of price. However, I am bearish with the DXY considering that it's repelled from my HTFZ, dropped below a PPZ, broke diagonal support and correlation through multiple time frames. My next barrier is between $95-$96 so I'll continue to track price and update as everything unfolds. We shall see.
NEVER TRADING ADVICE!
GBPUSD Mark UpThis is my British Pound/US Dollar mark up, at times I leave engulfed levels on my charts as reference points. However, price not only blew through a HTFZ but even my HTF diagonal resistance, but price is also approaching a huge barrier beginning at the 1.3000 level. I'm always Neutral.
P.S. Do you see the pattern?

BTCUSD Mark UpDateFrom September 24, 2019 'til now bitcoin's price has been ranging within a HTFZ ($7435-$8783). The swing low of the move ($7793) took multiple hits which gave price momentum to start printing HHs & HLs. Price action was able to form a new untouched zone ($8188-$8182) which should give the highest probability trade. However, there's barriers waiting to stall price on it's way up.
If price dips in the zone, I would long it from $8282 to $8783 which is the starting point of the HTFZ. If price can break above the $8783 level then I would look to enter again on a retest to ride it to the next barrier which is $9531.
If price were to engulf the zone ($8188-$8182) I would wait for a B.A.R to short it to the swing low ($7793). It's imperative to be flexible.

GBPAUD Mark UpThe full extent of the move is 83+ pips and to the 50% PRZ it's 41+ pips. For my standards, both are great amounts, but I'm doing my due diligence at keeping my greed in check. However, I would "eat chunks" out of the move by scaling in on price. If it don't reach the zone and it continues to tank then I'll adjust my approach. I would wait for a B.A.R to execute from the swing low of the move. We shall see.

GBPUSD Mark UpThese are my levels I'll track for this trading week for GBPUSD. I'll adjust as price unfolds, but I would look for price to break down pass the PPZ, funnel through the channel 'til it reaches that support at the 1.2265 level. Breakout traders will more than likely enter a short position once price breaks the 1.2265 level, but they'll be selling right into a zone where there's willing buyers. However, even though a smaller zone formed within the HTF zone that doesn't mean it'll hold since the zone technically has been hit previously. We shall see.

GBPUSD Mark UpThe highlighted area (1.21041 - 1.21738) was the move that took place before the start of the NY sesh. I'm looking for more upward movement with GBPUSD, but before that can happen I must patiently wait for price to play out for the highest probable trade opportunity.
Four areas I must face head on:
*Fear
*Patience
*Risk Management
*Timing
I'll be able to accomplish Risk Management & Timing sooner than Fear & Patience. I must be brutally honest with myself so I can overcome the little hurdles. I wish you all many successes in your own trading journey.
XAUUSD Mark UpDateThese are the areas of interest I would pay attention to for next upcoming trading week IF I were to trade Gold. Go to my initial published idea (7.25.19) to see what my plan was in the beginning. I only react to my zones if I see what I need/want to in the markets. Even though it's probably counter-trend I would be short on Gold for the following week, but only short term since price engulfed a higher TF zone of mine... downward movement could merely be a pullback so I wouldn't look to go for much in the move. We shall see.
P.S. Price was rejected at the 1452.80 price point. Last time it reached them levels was back in 2013. Price will more than likely be met with more resistance between the 1482.99 - 1495.55 levels so be mindful of that. Happy Trading!

XAUUSD Mark UpI do not trade Gold, but if I did this would be my plan. I would wait for price to reach my zone, if it's respected I would short it to the 'Golden Pocket' which happens to be right above the 200EMA. If I see everything I need/want to then I'll head further down to that 50%. If the zone is breached I'll patiently wait for a break/retest for entry.

Lfyt Mark UpI do not trade Lyft, yet. I would like to share what I would do IF I were to trade this stock. I believe the overall is bullish even though we might see price head to the downside before we get some real bullish momentum into the market. That vertical represents the length of the move I'm projecting. I would long it from the $76.10 to $92 only if there's a break followed by a retest of the $76.10 price point.
