ROC and RSI are confirming the direction of the price.
However, DMI+ is still below DMI-, DMI- couldn't keep the strength to keep the negative direction and so it's losing strength with ADX changing direction close to DMI+. With the DMI+ already crossing DMI- in the 4hours time.

FED Cutting Interest Rates Is NOT BullishAs of this week the FED has announced that they will be slashing the FED funds rates by 50bps (0.50%). Contrary to popular belief, this is not necessarily bullish. Actually, the last three times that they did it was an indicator that a bear market was coming.
As seen on the lower chart, once the FED cuts the rates, it has often signaled a stock market crash in the not so distant future.
Do you think a stock market crash is coming? Share your thoughts🙏
(ETH) ethereum "donchian channels - pattern"See the pattern. It's easiest to see on the ETH Kraken USD. There is a 20 day pattern found. There is donchian channels pattern currently going on. The ending of the pattern is on the 25th. Will the price go up towards the 25th and dramatically fall given the current movement of Ethereum? I also noticed there is news concerning IOTX with an event happening on the 25th of september concurrently. Interesting.

Bitcoin Short-Term Resistance: Watch The Bears!In this analysis I want to take a look at BTC's short-term price action: what can we expect over the next few days?
As seen on the chart, the price is currently slightly reversing from the diagonal purple resistance. It's too early to call for a reversal, but we have to be cautious nevertheless.
On the bottom you can see the RSI indicator flashing overbought. The previous 2 times this occurred it caused a reversal.
This is exactly the same as today: RSI overbought and hitting resistance. This is not a time to be bullish. I'd wait for the price to pierce through the resistance. For aggressive bears, however, this seems like a perfect bearish swing-trade.
what is happening to BTC right now ?! 🐺 "Hello, KIUCOIN family . I hope you're doing well. 🐺
In this analysis, I've decided to explain what's likely to happen to the BTC price in the immediate short term and the long term. Be sure to stay tuned with me until the end, as it's going to be mind-blowing." 🤯
"First of all, let's examine the monthly chart. In my opinion, this is one of the best timeframes, especially for this analysis, because it reveals extraordinary price targets. Let's dive into it :
As you can see on the monthly chart , BTC is between two uptrend curves that have acted as support and resistance since 2015 . These curves are fairly strong, justifying their classification as strong support and resistance lines on the monthly timeframe.
As you may already know, the higher the timeframe we examine, the more accurate results we can achieve. Therefore, the patterns on the monthly timeframe are much more accurate than those formed on the daily or even the weekly timeframe. In this case, we have a clear and perfect bullish flag pattern . This is a bullish pattern, and its main target, which aligns with our resistance line, is around $165,000. 🔥🐺🚀
So let's reveals more details for you dear 🐺KIUCOIN🐺 family :
In the chart above, on the weekly timeframe, we have a clear AB=CD pattern . This is a well-known pattern in harmonic trading and, in my opinion, is quite accurate. Seven out of ten times, these patterns reach their targets, making them a valuable tool for traders .
So I think there is another secret reason for us to pay attention to it :
BTC.D
As you can see in the chart above, BTC.D is currently within a symmetrical triangle, which could also be considered an ascending triangle in this case. It appears to be on the verge of breaking out. In my opinion, if BTC.D breaks through this resistance level, it could be incredibly beneficial for the BTC price , potentially leading to a significant rally up to $165,000. However, this could also be challenging for altcoins and ETH . While they might also experience pumps alongside BTC, these pumps are likely to be less substantial. After such a BTC-led rally, we could expect a massive altcoin and ETH season. So, stay tuned with me until that time, as we could potentially make life-changing money together during this market cycle.
Now finally it's time to take look at the lower time frame :
As you can see on the daily timeframe , if BTC breaks through the orange resistance line , we could consider entering a long position with a target of the previous all-time high. You could also take some profits at a predetermined level and set your stop at the entry point to protect your initial investment. The remaining position could then potentially continue to generate profits, leading to a higher target of $165,000.
I hope you enjoy this idea dear KIUCOIN family , also always remember :
🐺 Discipline is rarely enjoyable , But almost always profitable 🐺
LINK Long-Term Entry OpportunityLINK has recently touched the bottom purple support again. After 4 touches, this support seems to be an important level for traders.
To optimize our entry, we're going to wait for the price to touch the support again in the coming weeks. With a stop below the recent fear-low and a target around the current all-time high we can construct a very decently bullish trade.
Keep in mind that it's a risky bet. BTC is slowly bleeding and alts overall look bad. However, a R/R over 20 when trading from an established long-term support is worth a bit of risk.
Bitcoin: To the Moon? | Analyzing the '3 Market Phases'Hello everyone!
Bitcoin is currently displaying the '3 Market Phases,' and we’re transitioning from Contraction into Expansion. As long as the price holds above the lower boundary of the horizontal channel, I believe there’s a strong likelihood of continued upward momentum.
Key points:
Break below the channel: A breakdown could signal the beginning of a significant downtrend. However, if the channel holds, the uptrend is expected to persist.
Uptrend continuation: There’s a solid chance we could see a rise toward the 63K level.
This is not a buy or sell recommendation.
It reflects a personal viewpoint and is intended for reference only.
All decisions and responsibilities lie solely with you.
TAO Bullish Inverse Head & Shoulders: Patience is Key!TAO has been forming a bullish head & shoulders pattern over the last couple of months. The pattern is still not complete, so be patient for it to complete.
If you're confident that this pattern will play out and the market will reverse, take a look at the higher risk trade I put on the right. Tighter stop, so higher potential profit!
ID: Best Entry Is Here! Swing Trader's DreamThis analysis is a follow-up on my previous ID post.
As of this week, ID has successfully touched the bottom support and reversed from it. Too early to tell whether this is a long-term bottom, but at least the support held strong.
If you were ever considering to buy ID, this is the time.
All About the Flag Pattern (Beginner-Friendly)Hello everyone,
Today, I’ve prepared an educational guide on chart patterns, specifically focusing on the Flag Pattern.
This content is designed to be easy for beginners to follow, so I hope you find it engaging and informative. :)
Below is the outline I’ll be using for this post:

Characteristics

1. What is a Flag Pattern?
1) Definition
A Flag Pattern forms during a brief consolidation phase after a strong price movement, often signaling the continuation of a trend. It typically appears when prices make a sharp move, either up or down, followed by a period of sideways or slightly counter-trend movement.
Flag Patterns can occur in both uptrends and downtrends, named for their resemblance to an actual flag. After a strong price move, the market consolidates briefly before continuing in the original trend direction.
2) Key Components
Flagpole: The initial strong price movement that sets the overall trend direction before the consolidation phase.
Flag: The consolidation period where prices move sideways or slightly counter to the trend, often forming a rectangle or parallelogram. This phase typically occurs with a decrease in trading volume.
Breakout: The moment when the price resumes its original trend direction. In an uptrend, this is an upward breakout, and in a downtrend, a downward breakout, confirming the continuation of the trend.
3) Characteristics
Duration: The Flag Pattern typically lasts longer than the Flagpole but varies depending on the timeframe.
Volume: Volume usually decreases during the Flag’s formation and increases once the breakout occurs.
Reliability: The Flag Pattern is considered a reliable indicator of trend continuation, making it a favorite among traders using trend-based strategies.
————
2. Bullish Flag Pattern
1) Basic Characteristics
A Bullish Flag forms after a strong upward price movement, signaling a temporary consolidation phase. During this consolidation, volume typically decreases, suggesting that the market is pausing rather than reversing. After this phase, the price often continues its upward trend, accompanied by an increase in volume. Bullish Flag Patterns also help relieve overbought conditions in technical indicators, providing the market with a chance to prepare for another move up.
2-1) Example 1
This chart from May 2023 shows a strong Flagpole followed by a long consolidation phase (Flag). The volume then increased as the price broke out, completing the Bullish Flag Pattern.
2-2) Example 2
In this chart from March 2021, we see a similar setup: a strong Flagpole, followed by a consolidation phase, leading to a breakout that continued the upward trend.
————
3. Bearish Flag Pattern
1) Basic Characteristics
The Bearish Flag Pattern is the inverse of the Bullish Flag. It follows a strong downward move (Flagpole) and is followed by a period of consolidation (Flag) with decreasing volume. Like its bullish counterpart, the Bearish Flag can relieve oversold conditions, leading to a continuation of the downtrend after a breakout.
2-1) Example 1
This chart from May 2022 displays a Bearish Flag Pattern: a strong downward Flagpole, followed by a Flag consolidation phase. After the consolidation, a breakout occurred, continuing the downtrend.
2-2) Example 2
This chart from February 2022 also illustrates a strong downward Flagpole, followed by a consolidation phase (Flag), leading to a breakout that completed the Bearish Flag Pattern.
This guide will help you better understand the Flag Pattern and how it can be used in your trading strategy effectively!

✔️ Conclusion
I hope the various Flag Patterns and market analysis techniques covered in this post prove helpful in your investment journey. Chart analysis is not merely a technical skill but also a deeper understanding of market psychology and movement. Flag Patterns, along with other chart patterns, visually reflect the psychological dynamics of the market. Mastering their use can greatly contribute to successful trading.
That being said, the crypto market is inherently unpredictable and fast-moving. While technical analysis is a valuable tool, it’s important to adopt a comprehensive approach that considers broader market trends and external factors. I encourage you to apply the insights gained from this post with a balanced and cautious perspective when making investment decisions.
New opportunities are constantly emerging, and those who are prepared to seize them will find success. The chart represents the market’s voice. Listening to it, interpreting it, and making informed decisions based on that interpretation is "the essence" of chart analysis.
I sincerely hope that, through continuous learning and experience, you’ll evolve into a more confident and successful investor.
ATOM: Signaling Further Market Decline?In this analysis I want to take a closer look at the state of the market. ATOM Was a decent performing token in the previous cycle, but it sadly failed to impress investors this cycle.
Most striking is that ATOM is one of the few alts which has actually made a new bear-market low. This token has never entered a bullish phase like most tokens did and has basically made lower-lows throughout.
This token had a 5B marketcap just a few months ago, so we're seeing some serious money leaving this token. Naturally, there's something going on in the background which amplifies the sell-off, but I'm looking at it as a potential signal that the alt market is currently in a bad spot.
There's a lot of alts that are currently not far away from their bear-market lows. If we see more and more making fresh lows it could be an indication that more selling is yet to come.
This Bitcoin Dump Is Normal - But For How Long?In this analysis I want to take a look at the BTC_ATHDRAWDOWN indicator, which tells us how much percent BTC is trading under the current all-time high. Every time that BTC makes a new all-time high this indicator reaches a value of 1.
As seen on the chart, BTC has seen a lot of big drops during bull-markets. Most of these drops have reached the yellow area (which reaches from -20% to -27%). This is "normal" and not something we have to worry about.
What we have to worry about is when BTC goes from 1 to something below 0.27. Historically, this as signaled that either the cycle is over or that we're in for a prolonged period of bearish price action.
Like I mentioned in my previous analyses, bulls have to start buying again in the very near future. If BTC continues bleeding like it does now there's a high probability of dropping even more.
Bitcoin In DANGER: Price Band ReversalIn this analysis I want to come back to an analysis I made back in March and June this year. I talked about my Logarithmic Price Bands indicator and how it has successfully predicted a BTC top around in the yellow band.
Over two months after the analysis, the price has fallen through the yellow price band again.
It's looking like BTC is losing upward momentum quickly. The final nail to the coffin of the bullish trend would be some sort of -10% or larger drop in a single day. Stocks are also eyeballing a recession risk with the bond yield inversion un-inversing, so it's not far-fetched that BTC can drop 30%-40% from its current value.
The long-term trend is still relatively bullish, but we can't have too many weeks more of this slow bleeding, it's killing momentum and interest, which is bearish.
Ideally, one would start scaling in once the price reached the green area, which is currently located between 18k - 41k. I highly doubt BTC will go below 30k again (looking at the BTC dominance), but you never know.
Bulls have to really start showing some force. Not just a few days of +1% or +2%, but a real >10% break out to stop this 6-month pattern of bleeding.

Unlock Winning Strategies: Spot High-Probability Trades!Chart Analysis: XAU/USD (Gold Spot vs. USD)
Based on the two charts you have provided, here is a detailed technical analysis of XAU/USD using price action and chart pattern observations:
1. Weekly Flag Trendline (Higher Time Frame Context)
The upper and lower yellow trendlines represent a possible flag pattern on the weekly chart. This suggests a consolidation phase after a strong impulsive move. A flag pattern typically signals a continuation of the previous trend, which, if the context is bullish, indicates that after consolidation, there may be a continuation to the upside.
On both charts, we can observe that price action is contained within this broader structure, indicating that price is in a correction phase rather than an impulsive phase.
2. Key Horizontal Levels
2,532.144 and 2,506.245: These levels act as strong resistance zones. The price has struggled to break above these levels multiple times, indicating significant selling pressure or profit-taking at these points.
2,471.313: This is a key support level. The price has reacted to this level before and, most recently, has bounced back after testing this support zone. This suggests that buyers are willing to step in at this level, providing a floor for the price.
3. Descending Channel and Price Action Patterns
Descending Triangle/Channel Pattern: On the 15-minute chart, the price seems to be forming a descending triangle pattern (lower highs and a flat support at 2,471.313). This pattern is typically bearish, suggesting a potential breakdown if the support does not hold.
Potential Reversal Patterns: After testing the lower trendline of the weekly flag pattern and finding support at the 2,471.313 level, there was a notable bullish reaction. This can imply a short-term reversal, especially if confirmed by a break above the minor resistance level of 2,494.370.
4. Consolidation Zone and Lower Time Frame Patterns
The 15-minute chart shows a clear consolidation pattern after the sharp decline, with price action currently moving sideways between 2,494 and 2,506. A break above this consolidation range could signal a short-term bullish continuation towards the upper resistance levels, while a break below would imply a continuation of the bearish trend observed previously.
5. Breakout and Pullback Zones
The yellow dotted lines on the 15-minute chart indicate key areas where the price broke out from consolidation phases. These areas are crucial for identifying potential entry points in a trending market. If the price retests these zones and finds resistance or support, they could act as triggers for either continuation or reversal trades.
Trading Strategy Considerations
Bullish Bias: Traders with a bullish bias might consider waiting for a breakout above the 2,506.245 resistance, looking for a confirmation with a pullback to this level as support. The target could be the upper boundary of the flag around 2,532.144 or higher, depending on momentum and broader market conditions.
Bearish Bias: A trader with a bearish outlook might wait for the price to break below the 2,471.313 support level, looking for short positions targeting lower levels aligned with the descending channel's trajectory.
Range Trading: Given the current consolidation between 2,494.370 and 2,506.245, range traders could look for entries at the edges of this range with tight stops and defined profit targets within the range.
Conclusion
Given the price action analysis and current chart patterns, the XAU/USD market appears to be in a consolidation phase within a broader flag pattern. This suggests that while the immediate outlook may be neutral to bearish, there is potential for a bullish breakout if key resistance levels are breached. Traders should watch for confirmed breakouts or breakdowns from these levels to guide their trading decisions, keeping in mind the broader market trend and any fundamental drivers influencing gold prices.
Ethereum 8-Year Rising Wedge: Bearish Break Out!In previous ETH analyses I talked about this huge 8 year wedge pattern on the ETH chart. Where my initial takes were bullish, we've seen a bearish break out as of last week.
From a neutral point of view, this is 100% bad news. ETH will likely fall more and move towards the 1000$-1500$ area (yellow).
Might be a hot take, but most alts have been performing extremely poor recently and are down 60%-80% from their 2024 tops. Bitcoin is holding up relatively well, but that's because the BTC dominance increased by a factor of ~1.4x this year. Money is flowing out of alts (including ETH) and moving to stables and BTC.
What do you think? Will ETH drop more, or go back up?
