NZDJPY - EASY 400pip Trade Setup!NZDJPY has recently completed its bullish wave and now we are in bearish territory. We can see that we're in wave 2, which is an ABC correction. We have a leading diagonal for Wave A which we've almost completed. We're looking for one more move up to complete the leading diagonal and then we'll be looking for a big SHORT. Trade Idea: - Watch for price to move up once more to reach the 618 fib and leading diagonal resistance - Risk entry on rejection of the above - Safe entry on break of the red trendline - Targets: 83 (250pips), 81.2 (420pips) We may bounce off the structure level for a Wave C so do keep an eye out for the bounce! Goodluck and as always, trade safe!

Mastering the Art of Technical Analysis (Part 4)Candlestick Patterns Candlestick charts are a popular type of chart used by traders to analyze price movements. They display the opening and closing prices, as well as the highs and lows, of an asset over a specific time period. Candlestick patterns are formed by the arrangement of multiple candlesticks and can provide insights into market trends and potential price movements. Doji A Doji is a candlestick pattern that has the same opening and closing price, or a very small difference between the two. This pattern often indicates indecision in the market and can be a signal for a potential trend reversal. Hammer A Hammer is a bullish reversal pattern that forms after a downward trend. It is characterized by a long lower shadow and a small body, and it indicates that buyers have gained control and are pushing the price up. Shooting Star A Shooting Star is a bearish reversal pattern that forms after an upward trend. It is characterized by a long upper shadow and a small body, and it indicates that sellers have gained control and are pushing the price down. Engulfing An Engulfing pattern is a reversal pattern that is formed by two candlesticks. The first candlestick is smaller and the second candlestick completely engulfs the first one. A bullish Engulfing pattern forms at the end of a downtrend and indicates a potential trend reversal. A bearish Engulfing pattern forms at the end of an uptrend and indicates a potential trend reversal. Harami A Harami pattern is a reversal pattern that is formed by two candlesticks. The first candlestick is larger and the second candlestick is smaller and is completely engulfed by the first candlestick. A bullish Harami pattern forms at the end of a downtrend and indicates a potential trend reversal. A bearish Harami pattern forms at the end of an uptrend and indicates a potential trend reversal. Candlestick patterns are an important tool for technical analysis and can provide insights into market trends and potential price movements. By understanding the key principles of each candlestick pattern, traders can gain insights into market trends and make informed trading decisions. However, it is important to note that candlestick patterns are not foolproof and should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis, such as fundamental analysis and market news.

Classic Reversal Pattern You Must Know ☑️WHAT IS THE RISING WEDGE PATTERN? The rising (ascending) wedge pattern is a bearish chart pattern that signals a highly probable breakout to the downside. It’s the opposite of the falling (descending) wedge pattern (bullish). A rising wedge can be both a continuation and reversal pattern, although the former is more common and more efficient as it follows the direction of an overall trend. The rising wedge consists of two converging trend lines that connect the most recent higher lows and higher highs. In a rising wedge, the lows are catching up with the highs at a higher pace, which means that the lower (supporting) trend line is steeper. ☑️KEY FEATURES • The price action temporarily trades in an uptrend (the higher highs and higher lows) • Two trend lines (support and resistance) that are converging • The decrease in volume as the wedge progresses towards the breakout The third point is seen more as a boost to the validity and effectiveness of the pattern, rather than a mandatory element. And it is applicable either for stocks trading mostly. ☑️SPOTTING THE RISING WEDGE Identifying a rising wedge is not so difficult. As a first step, you should eliminate all types of wedges that are present in the sideways-trading environment. The ascending wedge occurs either in a downtrend as the price action temporarily corrects higher, or in an uptrend. ☑️TRADING THE RISING WEDGE Trading the rising wedge pattern is pretty easy. After we correctly identified the pattern all we need to do is wait patiently for the breakout of the wedge to the downside. After the breakout is confirmed(usually at least a 4H candle needs to close below the broken level) we can place a limit order to short the pair on a pullback giving us a better risk to reward ratio. The correct Stop Loss should be placed above the last higher high established by the wedge before the breakout. What concerns the Take Profit level, it must be based on the technical levels below( If there are any). If not, then we might use Trailing Stop or just choose a minimal acceptable RR of 1:1,5 ❤️Please, support our work with like & comment!❤️ What do you want to learn in the next post?

Learn Fibonacci Retracement Tool ☸️WHAT ARE FIB RETRACEMENT LEVELS Fibonacci retracement levels are horizontal lines that indicate the possible support and resistance levels where price could potentially reverse direction. The first thing you should know about the Fibonacci tool is that it works best when the market is trending. The idea is to go long on a retracement at a Fibonacci support level when the market is trending UP. And to go short on a retracement at a Fibonacci resistance level when the market is trending DOWN. Fibonacci retracement levels are considered a predictive technical indicator since they attempt to identify where price may be in the future. ☸️FINDING FIB RETRACEMENT LEVELS In order to find these Fibonacci retracement levels, you have to find the recent significant Swing Highs and Swings Lows. Then, for downtrends, click on the Swing High and drag the cursor to the most recent Swing Low. For uptrends, do the opposite. Click on the Swing Low and drag the cursor to the most recent Swing High. ☸️HOW TO USE Once you’ve done that, you will see the following levels appear: 23.6% , 38.2%, 50.0%, 61.8% and 76.4%. (The 50% one is not technically a Fib level but its still used by everyone)The idea is that the price will make a correction that will reverse at one of these levels. So all we need to do is watch the price action near these levels and look for the reversal patterns, like triple bottom, head and shoulders, narrowing wedge breakouts, etc… Once the we see a confluence of the Fib level and the reversal pattern, we can just wait for the confirmation breakout and enter the trade on the pullback. EASY!👻 ☸️WHY IT WORKS Because of all the people who use the Fibonacci tool, those levels become self-fulfilling support and resistance levels. If enough market participants believe that a retracement will occur near a Fibonacci retracement level and are waiting to open a position when the price reaches that level, then all those pending orders will impact the market price. ☸️IMPORANT REMINDER One thing you should take note of is that price won’t always bounce from these levels. They should be looked at as areas of interest so as I wrote above, one can’t simply trade off these levels, but needs to employ reversal patterns with confirmation to increase the probability rate of one’s calls.

BTC's bulls are ready to break wallHello Traders! Welcome back to another post with analyst Aadil1000x. In the previous post, the chart was not complicated as today's charts. In this chart, we can see this consolidation phase is a set of many patterns and after deep focus and a close view, I have connected all patterns and now we are ready to play with the market. Now we have a key reversal area at 24215 and there is a minor confusion about the move from this area. Most probably the move will be bullish but there is still a chance that it can dip from this area. We are not here to predict and gamble but to take action after a good reaction. We will wait and see the reaction before taking action at the key reversal area. Don't forget to hit the like button and follow to stay connected.

📊 Chart Pattern CheatsheetChart patterns are visual representations of a stock's price movement over time. These patterns can provide traders with information about the stock's trend, momentum, and potential future direction. Continuation and reversal patterns are two types of chart patterns that traders use to identify potential entry points. When considering entry points for both continuation and reversal patterns, traders often use a combination of technical indicators and price action analysis. They may use tools such as moving averages, oscillators, and trendlines to confirm a pattern's validity and identify potential entry points. Additionally, traders may set stop-loss orders to manage risk and limit potential losses. 🔹 Continuation patterns Continuation patterns are chart patterns that suggest that the current trend will continue. They occur when the stock price consolidates in a certain range, showing a temporary pause in the trend. Some common continuation patterns include triangles, flags, and pennants. Traders may look to enter a long position when the stock price breaks out of the pattern, typically on higher than average trading volume. 🔹 Reversal patterns Reversal patterns, on the other hand, suggest that the current trend is likely to reverse. These patterns occur when the stock price has reached a high or low point and is likely to move in the opposite direction. Some common reversal patterns include head and shoulders, double tops and bottoms, and the "V" pattern. Traders may look to enter a short position when the stock price breaks below a support level or the neckline of a pattern. 👤 @AlgoBuddy 📅 Daily Ideas about market update, psychology & indicators ❤️ If you appreciate our work, please like, comment and follow ❤️

Relative Strength Index (RSI) | Technical Indicator You Must Kno ✳️What is the RSI Indicator What is the RSI Indicator? The relative strength index is a market indicator that signals when the asset is over-bought or over-sold. This is a momentum-following indicator that measures how fast the price is moving and changing. The RSI uses different types of averages, but its primary purpose is to show whether a trend is strong or weak within a series of prices. In general, a strong trend is indicated by values close to 100 while a bearish trend is often indicated by a value near 0. ✳️RSI Indicator Settings The RSI has the standard setting. When you activate the indicator in any platform the defualt setting are 3 values. They are 6, 14 and 24. These are averages. The 30 and 70 value lines are calculated based on the lower and upper values and the middle lines is the oscillar which is a 14 period average. When the 14 period oscillator is above the 24 period is overbought and when the 14 period is below the 6 period is oversold. ✳️Opening Positions on RSI Signals The main signal the RSI oscillator generates allows defining overbought and oversold price ranges. Although it is frequently used as a filter in systems where the main indicator is a trend one, it might be possible to try trading using RSI signals only. When indicator’s line goes above the level 70 or below the level 30, it signals that market is overbought/oversold, and it is necessary to wait for the next signal confirming a trend reversal. ✳️RSI Trendlines Contrary to popular belief, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a leading indicator. This quality can be observed by using trendlines on the RSI chart and trading its break. When the RSI is rising, an upward trendline is drawn by connecting two or more lows and projecting the line into the future. Similarly, when the RSI is falling, a downward trendline is drawn by connecting two or more highs and projecting the line into the future. A break of an RSI trendline precedes an actual price reversal or continuation in the market. For instance, if the asset price breaks above a downward trendline, it is a signal that the price is about to edge upwards, either as a continuation of an uptrend or as a reversal of an existing downtrend in the market. ✳️RSI and Chart Patterns The Relative Strength Index is one of the best technical indicators to complement raw price action signals delivered by candlestick patterns or line chart patterns. For instance, when a bullish candlestick, such as a pin bar, or a price chart pattern, such as a double bottom, occurs in a downtrend, a buy position can be opened when the RSI displays a reading of below 30 to imply oversold conditions. ✳️RSI Divergence The Relative Strength Index also delivers divergence signals that could be a viable trading opportunity. A divergence occurs when the asset price and RSI do not move in the same direction. A positive (bullish) divergence occurs when the price is drifting lower, but the RSI is edging higher. This is a signal that the price may be heading towards a bottom and an upward reversal is about to happen. On the other hand, a negative (bearish) divergence occurs when the price is drifting higher, but the RSI is going lower. This is a signal that price may be heading towards a top and a downward reversal is about to happen. ✳️RSI and RVI Both the RSI and the RVI(Relative Vigor Index) are oscillators, but their different qualities can help traders to pick out high-quality RSI trading opportunities in the market. Whereas the RSI focuses on price extremes (high and low), the computation of RVI seeks to relate closing prices to open prices. This means that the RVI has both positive and negative numbers, with the centreline being 0. The RVI gives information on the strength of price movement, with positive values indicating increasing momentum, whereas negative values denote decreasing momentum. The RSI is the best indicator to complement or qualify the signals delivered by the RVI, especially in trending markets. For instance, if the market is in an uptrend and the RVI delivers a bearish divergence signal (prices go higher whereas RVI goes lower). In this case, a retracement or a trend reversal will be confirmed if the RSI reading is above 70, which implies overbought trading conditions. ✳️Here is the list, though now at all exhausting of the ways to use RSI in your trading. I will add that I use it myself, even though you don’t see it on my charts for aesthetic reasons. Like, comment and subscribe to boost your trading!

BTC 3-day A follow on to our last 2 charts covering BTC's 3-day Pattern! The 1-day Golden Cross has occurred and each time that it has in the past, BTC retraced just before or just after. Also following the cross of the 21 Moving Average Crossing above the 50MA, BTC retraced back to the 50 as id did in 2021, and crashing through it in 2015 and 2020. I have also noted that on the 1-day chart, BTC has been forming Bearish Divergence. 2021 was 28 days, current price action is 25-days! Will BTC follow these past patterns or can it do the unexpected and break through our 100EMA and out-trend resistance?

ADAUSDTHello Dear friends happy new year :D On the daily time frame, we have the positive divergence of the RSI, which has strengthened the possibility of forming a bearish wedge pattern at the end of the bearish trend. The current trend is likely to continue up to the $0.23 range. In case of breaking the downward trend line and maintaining the support range of $0.19, we can expect the formation of an increasing trend up to the specified limits. We would be happy to hear your comments

Learn Risk-Reward Ratio | Risk Management For Beginners 📚The risk-reward ratio (or risk return ratio) measures how much your potential reward (or return) is, for every dollar you risk. 📚For example: If you have a risk-reward ratio of 1:3, it means you’re risking $1 to potentially make $3. If you have a risk-reward ratio of 1:5, it means you’re risking $1 to potentially make $5. You get my point. ⚠️Now, here’s the biggest lie you’ve been told about the risk reward ratio: “You need a minimum of 1:2 risk reward ratio.” This statement is incorrect! Because the risk-reward ratio is meaningless on its own. 📚Here’s an example: Let’s say you have a risk reward ratio of 1:2 (for every trade you win, you make $2). But, your winning rate is 20%. So out of 10 trades, you have 8 losing trades and 2 winners. Let’s do the math… Total Loss = $1 * 8 = -$8 Total Gain = $2 * 2 = $4 Net loss = -$4 By now I hope you understand the risk reward ratio by itself is a meaningless metric. Instead, you must combine your risk-reward ratio with your winning rate to know whether you’ll make money in the long run (otherwise known as your expectancy). 📍THEREFORE: The key to success is the combination of the RR and Win Rate in such a fashion that yields a positive return. 📙Example: 🔘If your RR is 1:1 then you start making money with 51% win rate and above. 🔘If your RR is 1:1,5 then you start making money with 41% Win rate and above. 🔘If your RR is 1:2 then you start making money with 34% win rate and above. 🔴The higher the RR the lower is the breakeven Win Rate!

BTC -Day 2015 and Covid Crash Correlation A follow on to our chart before this: “Please read the analysis below to make better sense of this chart.” As we can see, our pattern for each time the 21 crosses above the 50MA, price tops out and retraces. Also hitting our 100 EMA resistance in 2015 just as we are seeing in the charts Now - 2023! However, unlike the 2021 cross, top and pullback followed by a bounce, this time price action plummets right through forming a second bottom in 2015 and a slightly higher double bottom in 2020 (Covid Crash!) I have also added where the 1D Golden Cross occurred roughly the same area as we topped out. We know the 1D Golden Cross is very exciting, however, we must always be aware for false signals! This analysis is pattern charting purposes only. 😊

TOP 5 Price Action Secrets You Must Know 🔴Multi-candle patterns are more reliable The more candles a specific pattern contains, the more reliable it usually is. 3 candle patterns are better than single candle patterns. 30 candle patterns are usually better than 3 candle patterns. Patterns like head and shoulders, double and triple tops are among my favorites, exactly because of this reason. They consistently result in higher probability trades, which is what we’re all after. It doesn’t mean that a good pin bar setup won’t work, it just means there’s a higher probability of having these multi-candle setups resulting in a winning trade. 🟠Know where to place your stop loss Knowing where to place an order is just the beginning. Where do you place your stop loss? Fixed pips stop loss levels are hardly a good approach since the market volatility can change and every trade should be looked at within the context of the recent market history. 🟢Always look for confluence This is absolutely one of the most important secrets you have to know about. Confluence is everything. So you’ve found a sweet price action setup. Great! Now make sure it has confluence, meaning that it coincides with other valid signals that support your trading idea. 🔵Tell a story of what happened Every chart tells a story. It might be a story of clear direction or a story of messy back-and-forth battling between buyers and sellers. In a similar way, we can talk about clean price action vs messy price action. It is up to the trader to find the story and better understand what the market might do. 🟣Context is everything Depending on where a price action setup occurs, you should interpret it differently. The same pin bar could be bullish or bearish, depending on if they show up at the bottom of a downtrend or top of an uptrend, respectively. Not all patterns are also worth taking if they are not preceded by the right price action and happen at the levels that are in one way or the other of significance. 🟤Identify key support & resistance zones Support and resistance (or S&R for short) are terms used to denote areas where price reverses at its lowest point (support) and the highest point (resistance) on a chart. Often, these zones are “tested” multiple times as traders look for an increased buyer and seller activity around these levels. It’s important to note that support and resistance are usually not thin lines, but rather zones. 🔴The Bottom Line The price action strategy is one of the most powerful tools for extracting money from the markets with predictability and manageable risks, but only if used correctly.
