BTC/USDHere is a closer look at the BTC/USD 1 day chart:
At the moment of typing this BTC/USD is ranging sideways within the range of around $31,479 and around $29,627 as highlighted by the Horizontal Dotted White Lines with Yellow Shading.
BTC/USD is in a Ichimoku Y-Wave Pattern otherwise known as a Broadening Wedge Pattern or a Megaphone Pattern on this 1 day timeframe.
We have contraction of the Bollinger Bands Upper and Lower Bands. Note that at the moment of typing this BTC has found support from its Middle Band Basis 20 Period SMA.
I have added 2 Fixed Range Volume Profiles (FRVP).
The 1st VFVP starts at the impulse from Thursday 15th June until Thursday 22nd June. Note that BTC is well above this FRVP POC (Point of Control).
The 2nd is at the start of the Ranging Sideways Movement from Friday 23rd June until Friday 7th June. Note that BTC is below this FRVP POC (Point of Control).
I have added a Fib Retracement Tool from the low at the start of the Impulse to the recent high. As you can see BTC/USD has found some support from its 0.236 / 23.60% Fib level.
I have also added a Trend-Based Fib Extension Tool so you can see the various Support and Resistance lines for this tool with the high/low range i have selected.
BTC/USD is still below its Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) indicator. Note that the Price has not closed above the LSMA since Thursday 29th June.
Looking at the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) we can see that the MACD Line had crossed below its Signal Line on Thursday 6th July but both lines are still in the Positive Zone above the 0.00 Base Line.
All in all it’s interesting times, at the moment of typing this BTC/USD momentum is moving within a Range:
For the positive side:
An impulse move upwards with strong bullish volume with a successful daily candle CLOSE above $31,479 and successful re-test as strong SUPPORT is key for a bullish outlook.
For the negative side:
An impulse move downwards with strong bearish volume with a successful daily candle CLOSE below $29,627 and successful re-test as strong RESISTANCE is key for a bearish outlook.
I hope this quick BTC/USD post is helpful.

BTC/USD Monthly Chart - Volume POC AnalysisBTC/USD Volume Analysis - Bitstamp 1 month chart.
BTC is still in a massive Ichimoku Y-Wave Pattern, which is like a western Broadening Wedge Pattern.
BTC is also in a massive Ichimoku P-Wave Pattern, which is like a western Symmetrical Triangle or Pennant.
BTC is also in a massive Rising Wedge Pattern.
I have also added in various Support and Resistance lines on this chart as highlighted by the thin dotted straight white lines.
Here is a closer look at this Bitstamp monthly chart:
At the moment of typing this, BTC is still being hampered by its Key Resistance Area located with the dotted straight white lines with yellow shading.
Note that on the month of 1st Feb 2023, BTC broke out of its Falling Wedge Pattern and successfully re-tested it as support, 1st on the month staring 1st Feb 2023 and 2nd on the month starting 1st Mar 2023.
Looking at the Bollinger Bands we can see that the price is still under its Bollinger Bands Middle Band Basis 20 Period SMA on this month chart. Note that the Lower Band has started to curve back around straight.
I have added a few FRVP (Fixed Range Volume Profile) indicators to every group of 3 one month candles on this visible chart, you can clearly see the various Points of Control (POC) for all those 3x one month candles which are indicated by the straight white line on each 3 month FRVP indicators. Looking at the month starting 1st Feb 2021, we can see that our Point of Control (POC) for those 3x one month candles is located at our UPPER Resistance/Support line of our Key Area of Resistance. If we look at the month starting 1st May 2022, we can see that our Point of Control (POC) for those 3x one month candles is located at out LOWER Resistance/Support line of our Key Area of Resistance.
Looking at the Visible Range Volume Profile (VRVP), we can see where the Point of Control (POC) is for this charts Visible Range as highlighted by the Dashed straight white line.
Looking at the Volume on this Bitstamp 1 month chart, we can see that this month’s Volume Bar ended above its 20 Period Moving Average.
If we take a look at the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) we can see that the Red Histograms have consistently degreased in size since Sept 2022. The MACD Line (Blue Line) is indicating momentum is upwards and the MACD Line looks very likely to cross back ABOVE the Signal Line (Orange Line) on this monthly chart. If/when the MACD Line (Blue Line) crosses back above the Signal Line (Orange Line) it will create a new Green Histograms and a buy signal on this monthly chart for this indicator. When that happens it will be the first new Green Histogram since the month of 1st Dec 2021.
Looking at the Up/Down Volume Indicator for this Bitstamp chart, we can see the difference between the buyers and sellers as indicated by the Delta Line in the Volume Bars. Note that this useful indicator takes into account the whole Candle Wick so the full Open and Close price and not just the Body of the Candle.
If we take a look at the Average Directional Index (ADX DI) we can see that the Trend Strength hasn’t turned upwards yet with the ADX (Yellow Line) at 21.11 and note the DAX Line is still under its 9 Period EMA (White Line) which is at 26.34. Positive Momentum is sideways at the moment with the +DI (Green Line) at 22.05 and Negative Momentum is also sideways at the moment with the -DI (Red Line) at 19.06. A good sign to look out for on this indicator is when the ADX (Yellow Line) starts moving upwards and an eventually cross back ABOVE its 9 Period EMA (White Line) as well as an upwards trajectory for the +DI (Green Line) and a downwards trajectory for the -DI (Red Line) diverging apart form each other on this 1 month chart.
As stated in my previous BTC post, the Price needs to successfully CLOSE ABOVE its Key Resistance Area and turn that area into Strong Support. So it seems there might be very interesting times ahead for BTC and the whole Crypto market, especially if we get a Buy Signal on the MACD Indicator if/when the MACD Line (Blue Line) crossing back ABOVE the Signal Line (Orange Line) on this 1 month chart.
I hope this post is helpful.
Logscale Bearish Butterfly and Bearish ABCD Attempting RetestThis is a potential Logscale Butterfly at the PCZ of a logscale ABCD after declining 50 percent from the low to high of the Butterfly on the first attempt at breaking the PCZ. This may be the second attempt to break through the PCZ which if it fails could take us down much lower towards BTC's lifetime POC.

Please remember that the Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen) & Base Line (Kijun Sen) are not SMAs or EMAs they are X amount high/low period midpoints in whatever timeframe you are in, so they should not be used as SMA or EMAs.
Note that there are other aspects to the Ichimoku Cloud which make it a very complete system such as Price Theory, Wave Theory and Time Theory but I won’t go into those on this post.
Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen) = Highest High + Highest Low calculation over 9 Periods = Blue Line.
Base Line (Kijun Sen) = Highest High + Highest Low calculation over 26 Periods = Red Line.

Leading Span B (Senkou Span B) = Highest High + Highest Low over 52 Periods Value displaced ahead 26 Periods = Cloud Red Line.
Bullish Zone = Above the Cloud.
Equilibrium Zone = Inside the (Kumo) Cloud can be Green or Red.
Bearish Zone = Below the Cloud.
This was just a post to show how you can use the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo in multiple timeframes for support, resistance & momentum, so I hope this post has been helpful with your trading and understanding of the Ichimoku Cloud. So in which direction is the S&P500 Index going to go...... i leave up to you to make your own minds up ;-).
VET/USD - UpdateAs I mentioned in my previous VET post in March, there was always a possibility that VET would drop out of the Bottom Trend-line of its Ascending Wedge and Invalidate that Ascending Wedge Pattern, which has happened. VET also failed to get back above its 0.236 Trend-Based Fib extension Level on that previous chart so we know that $0.087 is the price that VET needs to close a daily candle above solidified with a successful re-test as support.
So let’s move on.
Using a longterm Modified Schiff Pitchfork Pattern (A,B,C), you can see that VET is still below its Modified Schiff Pitchfork Pattern Median Line.
At the moment VET has found some support from its Lower Green Pitchfork Support Line.
Let’s take a closer look at this 1 day VET USD chart with the Bollinger Bands, LSMA and VPFR POC.
At the moment VET is fighting to stay back above its Bollinger Bands Middle Band Basis 20 Period SMA for this 1 day timeframe. Not that the Upper and Lower Bands are moving sideways at the moment. Using the VPVR, you can see that the Upper and Lower Bands are located roughly above and below an area of large volume.
At the moment VET has found some support from its Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) level. A daily close ABOVE the LSMA is crucial for continued upwards momentum.
At the moment VET is trying to stay back above its Volume Profile Fixed Range Point of Control (VPFR POC) for the Fixed Range of 22x daily candles i have selected.
For your viewing pleasure i have added various support and resistance lines (Black Solid Lines and Black Dotted Line) as well as various support areas as highlighted by the horizontal black lines with yellow shading.
As you can see, VET is now in a Descending Triangle Pattern (Bearish) as well as a Descending Wedge Pattern (Bullish). Note that the APEX of the Descending Triangle is located around Nov 2022 and the APEX of the Descending Wedge is located around March 2023. Note that a pattern can easily become invalidated with the price drop below and successful re-test as resistance of the bottom trendlines.
Looking at the Average Directional Index (ADX DI) we can see that Positive Momentum is still downwards with the +DI (Green Line) dropping to 14.17. Note that Negative Momentum is also down with the -DI (Red Line) dropping to 20.00. Note that the Trend Strength is still strong but has dropped with the ADX (Orange Line) dropping to 30.52 and the ADX is also back under its 9 Period EMA (Black Line) at 33.84 which is further confirmation of a weakening of Trend Strength at the moment.
Looking at the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), we can see that Momentum is upwards at the moment with the MACD Line (Blue Line) pointing upwards and is still back above its Signal Line (Orange Line) on this 1 day timeframe. Note that the MACD Line (Blue Line) is still BELOW the 0.0 Base Line in the Negative Zone.
Looking at the bottom Volume indicator we can see that overall traded volume is still low especially compared to what VeChain was getting from around October 2019 to May 2021. This is similar to Bitcoin’s daily chart which possibly means that while big money might actually be accumulating crypto assets like BTC, but there hasn’t been a constant inflow of big money actually trading crypto like BTC on a regular basis since around May 2021.
Using the Volume Profile Visible Range (VPVR) indicator, you can see where the Volume Profile Visible Range Point of Control (VPVR POC) is for this VeChain Chart is. Using the entire charts range we can indicate at what price range was the most volume was traded at. At the moment the Crypto market is following BTC so if BTC drops to $20k or $12,400 then we may see a wick down to around $0.009 which would offer a real great buying opportunity for most crypto. If BTC doesn’t drop to $20K then we will see VeChain eventually break back above its Descending Triangle, its Descending Wedge and eventually back above its Modified Schiff Pitchfork Median Line.
I hope this post is helpful with your trading or hodl-ing.
ADA/USDA quick look at the ADA/USD 1 day chart:
ADA is still below its Longterm upwards Pitchfork (Blue A,B,C) Median Line on this 1 day timeframe.
ADA is also below its smaller descending Pitchfork (Black A,B,C) Median Line on this 1 day timeframe.
ADA is still below its Bollinger Bands Middle Band Basis 20 Period SMA for this 1 day timeframe. Note that the Lower Band is till pointing downwards and the Upper Band is now moving downwards.
At the moment of typing this, ADA is trying to get back and stay above its Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) on this 1 day timeframe.
Note that ADA is still above its Volume Profile Visible Range Point of Control (VPVR POC) for this charts entire Visible Range. Looking at this range gives us a sense of potential upcoming areas of previous volume interest that may offer good buying opportunities if ADA drops lower.
ADA is also still under its Volume Profile Fixed Range Point of Control (VPFR POC) for the Fixed Range of 11x Daily Candles that i have Selected.
Looking at the Ichimoku Cloud with the 20,60,120,30 settings:
The Ichimoku Cloud Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen) is indicating that the Mid-point of the Short-term Momentum is sideways at the moment.
The Ichimoku Cloud Base Line (Kijun Sen) is indicating that the Mid-point of the Mid-term momentum is also sideways at the moment.
The Ichimoku cloud Lagging Span (Chikou Span) is indicating that momentum is upwards at the moment for this 1 day candle. Note that The Lagging Span (Chikou Span) is still under the Price from 30 Periods ago.
Note that both the Leading Span A (Senkou Span A) and Leading Span B (Senkou Span B) are moving sideways at the moment indicating a decrease in volatility at the moment.
Looking at the Average Directional Index (ADX DI) we can see that the Trend Strength is strong with the ADX (Orange Line) at 40.249 and above its 9 Period EMA (Black Line) which is at 37.203. Negative momentum is still dominant with the -DI (Red Line) at 29.750 but note it has dropped from 37.0. Positive Momentum has increased slightly with the +DI (Green Line) rising to 10.83.
Looking at the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), we can see that momentum is sideways with a slight upwards trajectory. Note that the MACD Lien (Blue Line) is still under its Signal Line (Orange Line) and still in the Negative Zone under the 0.0 Base Line on this 1 day timeframe.
Potential areas of previous Volume interest to look out for if you want to go long on ADA if ADA drops further are potentially:
$0.411 to $0.298,
$0.179 - $0.128,
$0.111 - $0.082,
$0.049 - $0.033.
Using the indicators on this chart, for confirmation of a renewed mid to longterm uptrend on this 1 day timeframe, we need to see:
1: ADA to successfully close a daily candle ABOVE its Bollinger Bands Middle Band Basis 20 Period SMA and stay above it.
2: ADA to successfully close a daily candle ABOVE its Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) and stay above it.
3: ADA to cross back into the Bullish Zone of the Ichimoku Cloud and for the Leading Span A (Senkou Span A) to cross back ABOVE the Leading Span B (Senkou Span B) creating a Kumo (Cloud) Twist creating a new Bullish Green Cloud for this 1 day timeframe.
4: The Ichimoku Cloud Lagging Span (Chikou Span) to cross back ABOVE the Price from 30 Periods ago and stay above the price below it.
5: The +DI (Green Line) to cross back ABOVE the -DI (Red Line) on the Average Directional Index (ADX DI)
6: the MACD Line (Blue Line to cross back ABOVE its Signal Line (Orange Line) and back ABOVE the 0.0 Base Line into the Positive Zone on this 1 day timeframe.
7: ADA to cross back ABOVE both Pitchfork Median Lines especially the Longterm upwards Pitchfork (Blue A,B,C).
Apologies for the lack of posting, i have been busy filming a new feature film. I'm sure there's more things i could post and I've probably missed a few things but this hopefully gives people enough for to ponder.
I hope this is helpful with your trading and hodl-ing.
XRPaaayyy & DCA all Day | XRPWhat has opposable thumbs and likes scalps? THIS GUY!
Seriously though, just gonna drop some hot spots on ya.
The up-fork has stolen the show so far but again, this is a game of composites and spreading risk across some kind of a Dollar Cost Average (DCA) strategy.
I like XRP for long and short term strategies. I keep a long cold bag from $0.20 that just doesn't get touched but I like scalping with a short bag and the outliers are where I set my sights.
Flash wicks in crypto are the most reliable mechanisms for profits so I spread myself across some broad swings while scalp tuning with a small stash in the middle.
As always, * * * Not Investment Advice * * * I never tell people how or what to trade, only what I would trade.
Stay frosty friends!
BTC/USD 1WLooking at the Trend-Base Fib Extension we can see that BTC found some support from its 0.5 Fib Level at $30,329. If this support level fails then the next Fib Levels are 0.618 at $26,100 and 0.786 at $20,077.
Looking at the Bollinger Bands, we can see that BTC is still way below its Bollinger Bands Middle Band Basis 20 Period SMA on this 1 week timeframe. Note that at the moment BTC is below its Bollinger Bands Lower Band.
Looking at the Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) we can see that BTC closed a weekly candle below its LSMA. A close below the LSMA is considered a sell signal.
A key area of support is the area from around £31,075 to $28,666 as highlighted by the horizontal black lines with yellow shading. Note that BTC has found support from this Support Zone 9 times previous since the 4th Jan 2021.
Looking at the Volume Profile Visible Range (VPVR), you can see potential upcoming areas of previous volume interest if the support at around $28,666 and the 0.618 Fib Level at $26,100 both fail. Note that for the timeframe starting Sept 2020 to the present day, BTC is still below its Volume Profile Visible Range Point of Control (VPVR POC) for this charts Visible Range.
Note that BTC is still below its Volume Profile Fixed Range Point of Control (VPFR POC) for the fixed range of 7 weekly candles i have selected.
The Average Directional Index (ADX DI) is indicating a sharp rise in Negative Momentum on this 1 week timeframe with the -DI (Red Line) rising to 30.54 and the +DI (Green Line) dropping to 16.27. Note that the Trend Strength is increasing with the ADX (Orange Line) rising to 17.39 and crossing above its 9 Period EMA (Black Line) which is at 17.37.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is indicating momentum is downwards at the moment for this 1 week timeframe. Note that the RSI (Purple Line) still has room to drop further before entering the Oversold Zone on this 1 week timeframe. Note that the RSI is still below its 9 Period EMA (Orange Line) indicating negative momentum strength.
Looking at the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) we can see that the CMF line (Green Line) is still under the 0.0 Basel Line in the Distribution Zone and has been since the week of the 21st Feb 2022 on this 1 week timeframe. Note that the CMF (Green Line) is also below its Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) indicating strength for distribution.
If we use the area from around $31,075 to $28,666 as our base and the Descending Trend-line then we can clearly see that BTC is also in a Descending Triangle Pattern on this 1 week timeframe. In any case, if the support area fails then there will be some good opportunities to acquire BTC or your crypto of choice at a bargain price before the next bull cycle upwards. Never say never.
I hope this quick and dirty post is helpful with your trading and hodl-ing.
BTC/USD - 0.236 Trend-Based Fib Extension levelThe Trend-Based Fib Extension level 0.236 at $42,492.75 is the level BTC needs to close above and successfully re-test as support for continued upwards momentum on this 1 day timeframe. This level is also where its descending trend-line is located exactly on the 0.236 level.
At the moment, BTC is also back above its Least Squares Moving Average, its Bollinger Bands Middle Band Basis 20 Period SMA as well as its VPFR POC for the fixed range of 14x daily candles that i have selected. Note that BTC is also back inside the Ichimoku Cloud Equilibrium Zone at the moment.
Looking at the Average Directional Index (ADX DI), it looks like we are very close to potentially seeing the +DI (Green Line) cross back ABOVE the -DI (Red Line) which would indicate that Positive Momentum has become dominant over Negative Momentum on this 1 day timeframe. If this crossover happens and the +DI (Green Line) is on top, we then need the +DI (Green Line) and the -DI (Red Line) to keep expanding further away from each other for continued Positive Momentum dominance on this 1 day timeframe.
At the moment of typing this, BTC has found resistance from its Trend-Based Fib Extension 0.236 level as well as from its VPVR POC for this charts Visible Range. It will be very interesting to see where and how BTC closes this daily candle.
I hope this brief post is helpful with trading and hold-ing.
VET/USDVeChain update:
As with most cryptos, downwards pressure is still dominant.
VET is still in a Descending Channel, VET broke above the Descending Channel on the 3rd of March but quickly came back down and closed back inside the Descending Channel so the Descending Channel is still valid.
VET is still below its Bollinger Bands Middle Band Basis 20 Period SMA on this 1d timeframe. Note that we have expansion of the Lower Bollinger Band and this expansion is for negative momentum.
VET is getting very close to its Least squares Moving Average (LSMA) indicator, a close below the LSMA will be considered a sell signal on this 1 day timeframe for this indicator.
VET is still below its Volume Profile Visible Range Point of Control (VPVR POC) for this charts Visible Range.
VET is still below its Volume Profile Fixed Range Point of Control (VPFR POC) for the Fixed Range of 11x daily candles that i have selected.
I have added various Support and Resistance areas s highlighted by the Horizontal Blue Line with Yellow Shading.
Looking at the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), we can see that the MACD Line (Blue Line) is sideways at the moment and still under the 0.0 Base Line in the Negative Zone. If the MACD Line (Blue Line) crosses back under the Signal Line (Orange Line) then that will be considered a sell signal for this indicator on this 1 day timeframe. Not that the last 3 Green Histograms have lightened and lessoned in size indication a weakening of positive momentum. Note that the MACD Line (Blue Line) has not been in the Positive Zone above the 0.0 Base Line since the 21st Nov 2021 on this 1 day timeframe.
Looking at the Stochastic Indicator (STOCH) we can see that momentum is downwards at the moment and note that the %K Line (Bluer Line) is still below its %D Line (Orange Line) on this 1 day timeframe. Important to note that the %K (Blue Line) still has plenty of room to drop much more before becoming Oversold on this 1 day timeframe.
Looking at the Average Directional Index (ADX DI) we can see that the trend strength is very weak with the ADX (Orange Line) under its 20 Threshold at 19.23 and still under its 9 Period EMA (Black line) which is at 21.60. Note that Positive Momentum has dropped its the +DI (Green Line) dropping to 19.26. Negative Momentum is still dominant but has dropped to 23.63.
Here is a wider look at this VET/USD 1 day chart so you can see the previous VPVR POC area:
I still think that BTC will hit $24k this year, if that is the case & if downwards pressure continues and VET breaks below its $0.0389 support then i think we will see VET hit around $0.0293 - $0.0282 as that area is VET’s previous very strong VPVR POC area.
At the moment, the Market Makers have decided that the path of least resistance to profit is still downwards, this goes for most stocks, Indices and Cryptos. As we know BTC is following the downwards momentum of the stock market and all alts are following BTC.
I closed all my crypto trades back in Dec 2021, luckily still in profit. I have only had 1 crypto trade on since which i closed at a 10% profit, that was a VTHO/USDT trade. I am positioning myself to fully be able to buy back in on my various cryptos of choice when the time arises because bear markets do not last forever.
I hope this is helpful with your trading and hodl-ing.
VTHO/USDVTHO update and a quick look to the future opportunities that may arise, not just VTHO but all crypto assets, because downtrends don’t last forever.
Here is a closer look at this VTHO 1 day chart.
At the moment VTHO is below its Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) on this 1 day timeframe. A daily close below the LSMA is considered a sell signal.
At the moment, VTHO is fighting to stay above its Bollinger Bands Middle Band Basis 20 Period SMA on this 1 day timeframe. If VTHO closes below the BB Basis and re-test it as resistance then we should expect VTHO to drop to its BB Lower Band level.
VTHO is below its Volume Profile Fixed Range Point of Control (VPFR POC) fro the fixed range of 5x daily candles that i have selected.
Zoomed out on this 1 day VTHO chart, the Volume Profile Visible Range Point of Control (VPVR POC) is around $0.001480.
For your viewing pleasure i have added various support and resistance areas as highlighted by the Horizontal Black Lines with Yellow shading. I have also added 2 descending support lines (Blue Lines on chart).
If we look at the Average Directional Index (ADX DI), we can see that Positive Momentum has dropped with the +DI (Green Line) dropping to 24.29 but Negative Momentum has also dropped with the -DI (Red Lien dropping to 19.04. The Trend Strength is weak with the ADX (Orange Line) at 19.19 and still under its 9 Period EMA (Black Line) and now under the 20 Threshold. We need the +DI (Green Line) to stay above the -DI (Red Line) on this 1 day timeframe, if not then further downwards momentum will continue.
If we look at the STOCHASTIC Indicator (STOCH) we can see that momentum is slightly upwards but i would say sideways within a range at the moment with the %K Line (Blue Line) still under its %D (Orange Line) which is a further sign of upwards strength weakness. Not that the %K Line (Blue Line) still has room to drop before becoming Oversold on this 1 day timeframe. Be on the lookout for when the %K Line (Blue Line) strongly crosses back above the %D (Orange Line) on strong volume.
At the moment, like most other cryptos, VTHO is under the influence of BTC. With this mid to potentially long term downtrend, a lot of opportunities will soon arise because downtrends don’t last forever. Previous Volume POCs will potentially become new POCs and become area of strong volume control, be tested again as support and if it holds, it can again offer opportunities to allow you to acquire your crypto of choice at an unbelievable discount.
From the 9th Feb 2021 to 16th April 2021, VTHO did a massive rise from its POC starting around $0.00145 and eventually rising to $0.02738………. That is around a 1794% move up! You want to buy near the BOTTOM of that 1794% and sell near the TOP of the 1794%
This is just my opinion but a lot of people seem to get caught up in the hype of BTC and ETH and foolishly ignore the low cap coins that can potentually offer much higher returns and i believe that cryptos like VTHO and a few others can offer that once again, especially after this downtrend is over, even if that downtrend takes a year or 2 because we have to factor in what is happening to the economy at the moment, because like it or not, when the stock market crashes……. BTC and most other cryptos will follow.
Diversification is key.
I hope this is helpful with your trading and hodl-ing.
BTC/USDToday could be a very crucial daily candle close for BTC.
Note that if this daily candle closes ABOVE the Descending Trend-line, it will also close ABOVE the Bollinger Bands Middle Band Basis 20 Period SMA on this 1 day timeframe.
Note that if/when BTC closes a daily candle ABOVE the BB Middle Band Basis, it will be the first time it has done so since the 27th December 2021.
If/when BTC closes a daily candle ABOVE the Descending Trend-line then a successful re-test as support will be crucial for continued upwards momentum and proof that the bottom has now been and gone. Failure to close a daily candle ABOVE the Descending Trend-line will result in more downside momentum.
BTC/USD - Ascending TriangleHere is a quick BTC 4hr Chart update.
At the moment, BTC is in an Ascending Triangle Pattern on this 4hr timeframe. An Ascending Triangle Pattern is a potential Bullish Continuation Pattern.
At the moment, BTC is above its Bollinger Bands Middle Bands Basis 20 period SMA on this 4hr timeframe.
At the moment, BTC is above its Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) on this 4hr timeframe.
At the moment, BTC is back in the Bullish Zone of the Ichhimoku Cloud back above its Leading Span B (Senkou Span B) resistance Level on this 4hr timeframe.
At the moment, BTC is back above its Volume Profile Fixed Range Point of Control (VPFR POC) for the fixed range of 11x 4hr candles that i have selected.
At the moment, the MACD Line is still above the 0.0 Base Line in the Positive Zone and is also still above its Signal Line on this 4hr timeframe.
For the upside, be on the lookout for a successful break ABOVE the Horizontal Resistance Line of the Ascending Triangle and any successful re-test as support. For the downside, be on the lookout for a break BELOW the Ascending Support Line of the Ascending Triangle and any successful re-test as resistance.
It should be an interesting couple of hours.
UK100A quick look at the FTSE100 Index using the traditional Ichimoku Cloud Settings of 9,26,52,26 and the MACD Indicator.
The Ichimoku Cloud Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen) is indicating that the Mid-Point of the Short-Term momentum is downwards at the moment.
The Ichimoku Cloud Base Line (Kijun Sen) is indicating the Mid-Point of the Mid-Term momentum is sideways at the moment but that may possibly change to downwards momentum once a significant low is created for the 26 periods.
The Ichimoku Cloud Lagging Span (Chikou Span) is indicating that momentum at the moment is downwards. Note that the Lagging Span (Chikou Span) is now under the Price from 26 Periods ago.
At the moment the Price is still in the Bullish Zone of the Ichimoku Cloud but is getting close to the Ichimoku Cloud Leading Span A (Senkou Span A) support level. At the moment of typing this, there is very little distance between the Leading Span A (Senkou Span A) and Leading Span B (Senkou Span B) support and resistance levels below the price.
Note that the Leading Span A (Senkou Span A) level is pointing downwards.
Note that the Last 5x Volume Bars have closed above its Volume 20 Period MA in the red.
The Price is still below its Volume Profile Fixed Range Point of Control (VPFR POC) for the Fixed Range of 8x 1hr candles that i have selected.
The Price is still way above its Volume Profile Visible Range Point of Control (VPVR POC) for this charts Visible Range.
If we look at the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), we can see that the MACD Line is still under is Signal Line and is indicating momentum is downwards at the moment. Note that the MACD Line as dropped under its 0.0 Base Line into the Negative Zone on this 1hr timeframe and that the Red Histograms are increasing in size. If you are waiting for confirmation to go long, you need the MACD Line to cross back ABOVE the Signal Line creating a Buy Signal for this 1hr timeframe.
Be on the lookout for a break below the Leading Span B (Senkou Span B) level into the Bearish Zone and a successfully re-test of the Leading Span B (Senkou Span B) level as Resistance, after that, full Bearish confirmation on this 1hr timeframe will be when the Leading Span A (Senkou Span A) crosses below the Leading Span B (Senkou Span B) creating a Kumo (Cloud) Twist into a new Bearish Red Cloud.
I hope this is helpful with trading.
VET/USD - Potential Bullish DivergenceWe have a potential Bullish Divergence with the Price on the VET Chart and the MACD Line on the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator as indicated by the Converging Blue Lines. Note that the MACD RED Histograms have also shrunk in size, confirmation will be if the MACD Line (Blue Line) crosses back above the Signal Line (Orange Line) on this 1 day timeframe.
Note that the Stochastic Indicator (STOCH) is showing that VET has plenty of room to move up before entering the Overbought Zone on this 1 day timeframe. Note that the %K (Blue Line) is still above the %D (Orange Line).
At the moment of typing this, VET is fighting stay above its Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) on this 1d timeframe. A successful daily candle CLOSE above the LSMA on this 1 day timeframe will be considered a Buy Signal for this indicator.
At the moment VET is back above its Bollinger Bands Lower Band but note that VET is still well below its Bollinger Bands Middle Band Basis 20 Period SMA for this 1 day timeframe. For any recovery to become sustainable longterm, we need the Price to CLOSE above the BB Middle Band Basis with a successful re-test as support on this 1 day timeframe.
VET is also in a Falling Wedge Pattern on this 1 day timeframe. A Falling Wedge Pattern is a potential Reversal Pattern. Note that the APEX of the Falling Wedge Pattern is at $0.026 which is around 22nd March 2022.
At the moment of typing this, VET is back above its Volume Profile Fixed Range Point of Control (VPFR POC) for the fixed range of 6x daily candles that i have selected.
Obviously VET is still under the influence of BTC so we have to keep an eye on what BTC is doing as a drop with BTC will drag all alts down with it.
I hope this is helpful with your Trading and Hodl-ing.

VET/USD - updateVET an in-depth 1day chart analysis:
If you look at my previous 3 VET charts and press play, you can see that VET has dropped out of its Symmetrical Triangle Pattern on the 1d timeframe.
VET is still below its Bollinger Bands Middle Band Basis 20 Period SMA for this 1d timeframe. Not that the Middle Band is moving downwards and so is the Upper and Lower Bands.
VET is testing its Descending Pitchfork Pattern Median Line, if VET drops below this line the we can expect VET to drop to $0.068 again.
Note that VET is still above its Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) level at the moment. The LSMA Level is near the Pitchfork Median Line so if VET drops below the Pitchfork Median Line then it may also drop below the LSMA as this area is a crucial support. Note that if VET CLOSES a daily candle BELOW the LSMA then that will be considered a sell signal on this 1d timeframe for this indicator.
Note that VET is also in a Descending Triangle Pattern on this 1d timeframe. Note that a Descending triangle Pattern is a potentially a Bearish Pattern.
For your viewing pleasure i have added various Support and Resistance Lines as well as a few Support and Resistance Areas.
Volume is still very low on this Binance 1d chart and note that VET has not closed a daily Volume Bar above its Volume 20 Period Moving Average since the 10th Jan and note that that Volume Bar closed n the red.
VET is fighting to stay above its Volume Profile Fixed Range Point of Control (VPVR POC) for the Fixed Range of 8x daily candle s that i have selected.
VET is also under its Volume Profile Visible Range Point of Control (VPVR POC) for this charts Visible Range.
If we look at the Average Directional Index (ADX DI) we can see that Negative Momentum has increased with the -D (Red Line) rising to 17.64 and Positive Momentum has decreased with the +DI (Green Line) dropping to 13.96. Not that the Trend Strength is very weak with the ADX (Orange Line) at 15.21 and still under its 9 Period EMA (White Line) which is at 17.73. Note that the ADX (Orange Line) is still under the 20 Threshold.
If we look at the Stochastic Indicator (STOCH) we can see that Momentum is downwards at the moment and note that the %K (Blue Line) is still below its %D (Orange Line) on this 1d timeframe. If VET drops below its Pitchfork Median Line and LSMA then we will see the %K (Blue Line) enter back into the Oversold Zone agin on this 1d timeframe.
If we look at the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) we can see that the MACD Line (Blue Line) is indicating momentum is sideways for this indicator and note that the MACD Line (Blue Line) is still above its Signal Line (Orange Line). Note that Upwards momentum has weakened because today’s MACD Histogram Bar has decreased in size and has lightened. Note that the MACD Line (Blue Lien) is still in the Negative Zone under the 0.0 Base Line and has not been in the Positive Zone above the 0.0 Base Line since the 21st Nov 2021.
If we look at the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) we can see that the CMF (Green Line) is still under the 0.0 Base Line in the Distribution Zone. However the CMF (Green Line) is pointing upwards indicating that Accumulation is increasing and this is confirmed by the CMF (Green Line) being above its Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) (Cyan Line) which is a sign of accumulation strength. For accumulation strength to be sustainable, we need the CMF (Green Line) to eventually cross back above the 0.0 Base Line back into the Accumulation Zone on this 1d timeframe.
At the moment VET is fully under the control of BTC and in what direction BTC goes in. As you can clearly see from this Binance daily chart, Volume is still very VERY LOW for VET as well as for the overall crypto market in general. As we can see, the Market Makers are focusing on other select cryptos at the moment like ADA, but that rise is also being slowed because of BTC’s drop and control of the market. Overall there seems to be a lack of Market Maker Liquidity being traded at the moment.
There is a lot of talk about VET rising BUT any rise NEEDS to be backed up by INCREASING LARGE VOLUME to remain sustainable for the longterm. I would not get excited until Volume Increased and VET crosses above and more importantly CLOSES a daily candle ABOVE the Bollinger Bands Middle Band Basis 20 Period SMA and successfully ret-test it as support on this 1d timeframe. So overall there may be some more really good opportunities to acquire more VET at a much cheaper price.
I hope this is helpful with your Trading and Hodl-ng.
NOTES:
LSMA = Yellow Squiggly Line on chart
Bollinger Bands = Grey Bands on Chart
VPFR POC = Short Horizontal White Dashed Line on Chart
VPVR POC = Long Horizontal White Dashed Line on Chart
Support and Resistance Areas = Parallel White Lines with Yellow Shading on Chart
Volume Bars = Red and Green Bars bottom on Chart
Volume MA = Orange Line going through Volume Bars on Chart
Pitchfork Median Line = Long Descending Thin White Dashed Line on Chart
ADA/USD - updateWe have seen a very nice rise with ADAUSD since the 11th Jan with increasing Volume on this Binance 1d chart. The only issue at the moment is that BTC is dragging everything down with it so ADA is having trouble maintaining its rise at the moment.
ADA is above its Bollinger Bands Middle Band Basis 20 Period SMA and note that we have expansion of the Upper and Lower Bands and this expansion is for positive momentum. Not that ADA is above its Bollinger Bands Upper band so a retracement back under the Upper Band shouldn’t come as a surprise.
Note that ADA is still above its Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) for this 1d timeframe.
ADA is still in the Bearish Zone of the Ichimoku Cloud but note that ADA has risen and is now getting close to the Leading Span A (Senkou Span A) resistance Level.
Note that ADA is still above its Longterm Pitchfork Median Line on this 1d timeframe.
ADA is still above its Volume Profile Fixed Range Point of Control (VPFR POC) for the fixed range of 8x daily candles that i have selected.
ADA is still above its Volume Profile Visible Range Point of Control (VPVR POC) for this charts Visible Range.
Note that Volume has increased and yesterday’s Volume Bar closed above its Volume 20 Period Moving Average and today’s Volume Bar will also close above it.
If we look at the Moving Average Convergence Diveragnce (MACD), we can see that the MACD Line (Blue Line) has crossed back over the Signal Line (Orange Line) generating a Buy Signal on the 13th-14th Jan and note that the MACD Line (Blue Line) is very close to crossing back over the 0.0 Base Line into the Positive Zone of the MACD indicator. Note that the MACD Line (Blue Line) has not been in the Positive Zone above the 0.0 Base Line since the 17th Sept 2021 so this will be an important move.
If we look at the Average Directional Index (ADX DI) we can see that the +DI (Green Line) is at 25.30 and has crossed back over the -DI (Red Line) which is at 14.28. this means that Positive Momentum is stronger then Negative Momentum on this 1d timeframe. Note that the Trend Strength is slightly weak with the ADX (Orange Line) at 18.94 under it s 9 Period EMA (White Line) which is at 19.85 and under the 20 Threshold. Note that the ADX (Orange Line) is pointing upwards so we may see another massive increased positive rise if the ADX (Orange Line) crosses back above the 9 Period EMA (White Line) and the 20 Threshold level.
If we look at the Stochastic Indicator (STOCH) we can see that the %K (Blue Line) is in the Overbought Zone of this indicator. The %K (Blue Line) is pointing downwards but it is still above its %D (Orange Line). Be on the lookout for if the %K (Blue Line) stays above the %D (Orange Line) or crosses back below it. Note that because the %K (Blue Line) is in the Overbought Zone that doesn't see that it will drop out of it because the %K (Blue Line) can range sideways in the Overbought Zone for a prolonged period of time.
Here is a wider look at this 1d chart.
With such a rise it is not uncommon for the price to drop back under its Upper Bollinger Band before continuing upwards. If Upwards Momentum continues being strong then we may see ADA walk up along its Upper Band for a few days.
As usual with BTC dropping, BTC is dragging everything down with it and slowing ADA’s rise, so we have to keep an eye on what BTC is doing because if BTC drops under $40K, then that will continue to drag ADA and all other alts down with it.
I hope this is helpful with your trading and hodl-ing.
VeChain 1d chart - still on Low VolumeVeChain Update:
VeChain is still in its massive Symmetrical Triangle Pattern as indicated by the converging ascending and descending dotted trend-lines.
At the moment, VeChain is trying to stay above its Bollinger Bands Middle Band Basis 20 Period SMA. VeChain need to close this daily candle above the BB Basis. Note that Lower Band is moving upwards and the Upper band is moving sideways.
VeChain is still below its least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) for this 1d timeframe. If you are waiting to go long using this indicator then wait until a daily candle closes back above the LSMA level.
Note that VeChain is still in the Bearish Zone of the Ichimoku Cloud.
At the moment, VeChain is above its Volume Profile Fixed Range Point of Control (VPFR POC) for the Fixed Range of 6x daily candles that i have selected.
At the moment, VeChain is below its Volume Profile Visible Range Point of Control (VPVR POC) for this charts Visible Range.
Note Volume is still very ow on this Binance 1d chart, and note that the last 6x daily Volume Bars have been way below its Volume 20 period MA. We need to see rises on increasing volume for any upwards momentum to be sustained.
I have added some key support and resistance areas indicated by the Black Horizontal Parallel Lines with Orange Shading. I have also added some key support and resistance lines and indicated by the various dashed, solid and dotted lines.
If we look at the Average Directional Index (ADX DI) we can see that Negative Momentum has dropped with the -DI (Red Line) dropping to 19.45. Positive Momentum has also dropped with the +DI (Green Line) dropping to 16.09. Note that the Trend Strength has weakened with the ADX (Orange Line) dropping to 25.24 and is still below its 9 Period EMA (Black Line) which is at 30.19. For any upwards momentum to be sustained, we need the ADX (Orange Line) to stay above the 20 Threshold (Black Dashed Line) and we 100% need the +DI (Green Line) to cross back above the -DI (Red Line) on this 1d timeframe.
If we take a look at the Stochastic Indicator (STOCH) we can see that momentum is downwards at the moment. Note that the %K (Blue Line) is fighting to stay above its %D (Orange Line). The %K (Blue Line) needs to stay above the %D (Orange Line) for continued upwards momentum. If the %K (Blue Line) drops and stays below the %D (Orange Line) then we will see further drops on this 1d timeframe.
Here is a wider look at this 1d chart, you can clearly see the difference in Volume that VeChain has now compared to what VeChain has experienced in the past. At the moment Volume is very, very low.
So what does all this mean to me? I would be very suspicious of any rise happening on really low volume. For me, I wouldn’t get excited by any rise unless its on increasing Volume. As always, we need to keep an eye on what BTC is doing as Bitcoin is still in a H&S Pattern.
Be on the lookout for a successful break above the LSMA indicator level and any successful re-test as support as well as the +DI (Green Line) crossing back above the -DI (Red Line) on the ADX DI indicator on this 1d timeframe.
I hope you’ve found it helpful with your trading and hodl-ing.
BTC - needs to Invalidate the H&S Pattern on the 6d ChartBTC is potentially in a Head and Shoulders Pattern on this 6d chart, and you can also see clearly this on the weekly as well.
Ideally, BTC needs to CLOSE this 6d Candle above the Dashed Resistance Line at around $53,148. If not, then the next 6d Candle will suffice. Failure to do so may validate the Right Shoulder and if BTC drops below the H&S Neckline then a potentially much bigger drop can be expected.
BTC is still below its Bollinger Bands Middle Band Basis 20 Period SMA on this 6d timeframe. Note that the Upper and Lower Bollinger Bands are moving sideways.
Note that BTC is still below its Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) for this 6d timeframe. Be on the lookout for a 6d Candle CLOSE above the LSMA as that will be a BUY signal for traders who use this indicator on this 6d timeframe.
BTC is still above its Volume Profile Fixed Range Point of Control (VPFR POC) for the Fixed Range of 4x 6d Candles that i have selected. We 100% need BTC to CLOSE this 6d Candle above this level.
Note that the Volume Profile Visible Range Point of Control (VPVR POC) for this charts Visible Range is at $56,375 so BTC is not that far away from it. We can expect some resistance around this level.
Volume is still low on this Bitstamp 6d Chart and note that the last 2x 6d Volume Bars have been below its Volume 20 Period SMA.
I have highlighted 2 potentially crucial Support Areas for this 6d timeframe. The first is at $40,879 - $39,511 and the next one is $31,037 - $28,622.
Let’s take a look at 3 Momentum Indicators, the STOCH, MACD and the ADX DI and see what each is actually indicating:
If we take a look at the Stochastic Indicator (STOCH), The %K Line (Blue Line) is indicating that momentum is upwards at the moment. The %K Line (Blue Line) is still relatively low and has a lot of room to move up before breaking into the Overbought Zone above 80 on this 6d timeframe. Note that at the moment the %K Line (Blue Line) is above its %D Line (Orange Line).
If we look at the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) we can see that the MACD Line (Blue Line) is still under its (Signal Line). We need the MACD Line (Blue Line) to cross back above the Signal Line (Orange Line) as this will be a BUY SIGNAL for this indicator on this 6d timeframe. Not that the MACD Line (Blue Line) is still above the 0.0 Base Line in the Positive Zone.
If we look at the Average Directional Index (ADX DI) we can see that Negative Momentum has dropped with the -DI (Red Line) at 21.72 and Positive Momentum has risen with the +DI (Green Line) at 17.55. Note that the trend strength has lost a bit of strength with the ADX (Orange Line) dropping to 21.67 and it is still below its 9 Period EMA (Black Line) which is at 23.61. We need the ADX (Orange Line) to stay above the 20 Threshold (Dashed Black Line) and we need the +DI (Green Line) to cross back above the -DI (Red Line) on this 6d timeframe for any LONGTERM recovery to become sustainable and real.
Note that all of these indicators can be used and applied in whatever trading timeframe you are in.
So what does all this mean. Simply put…. BTC needs to CLOSE above the Dashed Resistance Line.
If you are waiting for full Bullish confirmation on this longterm 6d timeframe, then be on the lookout for when BTC manages to CLOSE a 6d Candle ABOVE the Dashed Resistance Line invalidating the H&S Pattern.
After that, we need BTC to break back above and more importantly CLOSE above the Bollinger Bands Middle Band Basis and then the LSMA on this 6d timeframe. Also be on the lookout for any successful re-test of a previous resistance as support.
Note that there is always a possibility that if BTC cannot break above and more importantly CLOSE above the Dashed Resistance Line, then it may still invalidate the H&S pattern by ranging sideways within a range for a prolonged period of time.
I hope this is helpful with your Trading and Hodl-ing.
Notes:
LSMA = Black Squiggly Line on chart
Bollinger Bands = Yellow Bands on chart
VPFR POC = Short Horizontal Red Dotted Line on chart
VPVR POC = Long Horizontal Red Dotted Line on chart
Support Areas = Black Horizontal Lines with Yellow Shading on chart
H&S Pattern = You know where that is ;-)
BTC - 4hr chart updateBTC is still below its Descending Trend-line. BTC needs to break back above and more importantly CLOSE back above the Descending Trend-line before any long term recovery to the upside becomes concrete.
BTC is back above its Bollinger Bands Middle Band Basis 20 Period SMA. BTC has dropped back under its Upper Bollinger Band which is expected after a large rise and expansion of the Upper and Lower Bands, so we may see some consolidation sideways within a range before the next big move.
At the moment, BTC is back above its Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) for this 4hr timeframe. A candle close above the LSMA is considered a buy signal for this indicator.
At the moment, BTC is in the Equilibrium Zone of the Ichimoku Cloud using the 20,60,120,30 settings. Note that BTC has found some support near its Ichimoku cloud Leading Span A (Senkou Span A) support level.
At the moment of typing this, BTC is below its Volume Profile Fixed Range Point of Control (VPFR POC) for the fixed range of 8x 4hr candles that i have selected. BTC needs to close a 4hr candle above this level.
Note that BTC is also still below its Volume Profile Visible Range Point of Control (VPVR POC) for this charts Visible Range.
Note that the last 8x 4hr Volume Bars have been above its Volume 20 Period MA.
If we look at the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) we can see that the MACD Line (Blue Line) has crossed back over and above the Signal Line (Orange Line) which is a buy signal. Note that the MACD Line (Blue Line) has also crossed back above the 0.0 Basle Line and is now in the Positive Zone for this 4hr timeframe. Note that the MACD Line (Blue Line) is the highest it has been in the Positive Zone since the 1st Dec 2021.
If we look at the Average Directional Index (ADX DI) we can see that Positive Momentum has dropped slightly on this 4hr timeframe with the +DI (Green Line) dropping to 25.97. Negative Momentum has also dropped with the -DI (Red Line) dropping to 13.99. Note that the Trend Strength is still slightly weak with the ADX (Orange Line) at 19.65 and still under the 0.0 Threshold. Note however that the ADX (Orange Line) is above its 9 Period EMA (Black Line) 18.58. The +DI (Green Line) need to stay ABOVE the -DI (Red Line) on this 4hr timeframe for any long term recovery to the upside to last.
If BTC can eventually make it back above and more importantly CLOSE back above the Descending Trend-line then BTC will possibly rise to about $53,360 where it will find its next major resistance. The next major resistance after that will be the VPVR POC around $57,175. If BTC cannot close back above the Descending Trend-line then BTC will eventually make its way to its major support level between $45,820 - $45,409. If that Major Support Area fails then BTC will drop back to around $41,900. If BTC does turn downwards, then the LSMA and the Bollinger Bands Middle Band Basis will be crucial support levels on this 4hr timeframe.
Here is a closer look at this 4hr chart.
I hope this post is helpful with your trading and hodl-ing.
Notes:
LSMA = Black Squiggly Line on chart
Bollinger Bands = Grey Bands on chart
Ichimoku Cloud = Green and Red Cloud pattern on chart
VPVR POC = Long Horizontal Red Dotted Lines on chart
VPFR POC = Short Horizontal Red Dotted Lines on chart
Descending Trend-line = Descending Black Line on chart
Resistance and Support Lines = Descending and Ascending Dotted Lines on chart
Major Support Area = Bottom Horizontal Parallel Lines with Yellow Shading on chart
Possible Next Resistance Area = Top Horizontal Parallel Lines with Yellow Shading on chart
VTHO - 1d chart updateVTHO is back above its Bollinger Bands Middle Band Basis 20 Period SMA for this 1d timeframe. Note that the Upper and Lower Bands are moving sideways and have plenty of room to expand.
VTHO is still above its Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) for this 1d timeframe.
VTHO is still above its Volume Profile Fixed Range Point of Control (VPFR POC) for the Fixed Range of 5x daily candles i have elected.
At the moment, VTHO is still below its Volume Profile Visible Range Point of Control (VPVR POC) for this chart’s Visible Range.
Note that Volume has been increasing but the last 13x Volume Bars have closed below its Volume 20 Period MA.
If we look at the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) we can see that the MACD Line (Blue Line) is still above its Signal Line (Orange Line) and is indicating Momentum is upwards at the moment on this 1d timeframe. Note that the MACD Line (Blue Line) still has a long way to go before crossing back over the 0.0 Base Line back into the Positive Zone.
If we look at the Stochastic Indicator (STOCH) we can see that the %K Line (Blue Line) is above its %D Line (Orange Line) and has now crossed into the Overbought Zone. Being in the Overbought Zone doesn’t mean the %K Line will drop as it can go slightly higher and even range sideways within a range in the Overbought Zone for a prolonged period of time.
If we look at the Average Directional Index (ADX DI) we can see that Negative Momentum has dropped with the -DI (Red Line) dropping to 21.60. Positive momentum has risen but is now slightly sloping down at 18.40. Not that the Trend Strength is still strong with the ADX (Orange Line) at 25.26 but note that the ADX (Orange Line) has dropped below its 9 Period EMA (Black Line) which is at 26.86 so the ADX has lost some Trend Strength but its still good because the ADX is still above the 20 Threshold. Be on the lookout for when the +DI (Green Line) crosses back ABOVE the -DI (Red Line) which will indicate that Positive Momentum is now dominant over Negative Momentum on this 1d timeframe.
Here is a wider view of this VTHO 1d chart:
Note that VTHO is in a Massive Symmetrical Triangle Type Pattern on this 1d timeframe.
I have added a few Support and Resistance Areas of interest indicted by Horizontal Black Lines with yellow Shading. At the moment VTHO is trying to get back above its first resistance area. A successful close above this level will be a very good sign for continued upwards momentum.
I hope this is helpful with your trading and hodl-ing,
Notes:
LSMA = Black Squiggly Line on chart
Bollinger Bands = Grey Bands on chart
VPVR POC = Long Horizontal Red Dotted Lines on chart
VPFR POC = Short Horizontal Red Dotted Lines on chart
Resistance and Support Area = Horizontal Parallel Lines with Yellow Shading on chart
ADA - quick 1d chart updateADA is trying to close a daily candle back above its Falling Wedge Pattern. If ADA manages to close today's candle above the Falling Wedge Pattern then its next resistance will be found at around the $1.415 - $1.451 resistance area.
ADA is back above its Bollinger Bands Middle Band Basis 20 Period SMA for this 1d timeframe and has successfully re-tested it as support. Note that the Upper and lower bands have a lot of room to expand before becoming over extended on this 1d timeframe.
Note that ADA is still above its Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) on this 1d timframe.
Note that ADA is still deep in the Bearish Zone of the Ichimoku Cloud and has a long way to go before it attempts to enter the Equilibrium Zone and then back into the Bullish Zone on this 1d timeframe.

Looking at the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), we can see that the MACD Line (Blue Line) is indicating momentum is upwards at the moment and note that it has been above the Signal Line (Orange Line) since the 15th Dec. The MACD Line (Blue Line) is still in the Negative Zone under the 0.0 Base Line so be on the when the MACD Line (Blue Line) crosses back above the 0.0 Base Line into the Positive Zone on this 1d timeframe. Note that the MACD Line (Blue Line) has not been in the Positive Zone sine 17th Sept 2021 on this 1d timeframe.
Be on the lookout for any successful re-test as support of the Upper Descending Trend-line of the Falling Wedge Pattern.
I hope this is helpful with your trading and hodl-ing.
