BTC Retrace or Rally? Bitcoin’s Liquidity Hunt & Next Move.Bitcoin BTC Analysis & Trade Idea
🚦 Market Context & Price Action
Bitcoin has experienced a sharp rally, pushing into previous weekly and daily highs. This area is a classic liquidity pool, where buy stops from breakout traders and late longs are likely accumulating. The current price action is overextended, suggesting that the market may be primed for a retracement as smart money seeks to capture liquidity before the next directional move.
💧 Liquidity Pools & Wyckoff Concepts
According to Wyckoff methodology, this phase resembles a "Buying Climax" (BC) where price surges into resistance, often followed by an "Automatic Reaction" (AR) and a potential "Secondary Test" (ST). The current rally into old highs is likely triggering buy stops, providing institutional players with ample liquidity to offload positions or engineer a shakeout.
🟢 Wyckoff Schematic:
Buying Climax (BC) at current highs
Anticipated Automatic Reaction (AR) as price retraces
Look for a range to develop (potential Accumulation phase) near the 50% Fibonacci retracement
📉 Fibonacci Retracement & Trade Setup
You’re eyeing the 50% retracement of the previous price range as a key level. This aligns with both technical and Wyckoff logic, as it’s a common area for price to find support after a liquidity grab.
🟢 Trade Plan:
Wait for a retrace to the 50% Fibonacci level
Observe for a range or consolidation (signs of absorption/accumulation)
Look for a bullish break of market structure (BOS) as confirmation
Enter long on confirmation, with stops below the range low
🌐 Fundamentals & Market Sentiment
Currently, Bitcoin sentiment is mixed but leaning bullish due to recent ETF inflows, institutional adoption, and macroeconomic uncertainty (e.g., inflation, rate cut expectations). However, funding rates are elevated, and open interest is high, indicating potential for a shakeout as overleveraged longs are vulnerable.
🟢 Key Fundamentals:
ETF inflows and institutional interest remain strong
Macro uncertainty (Fed policy, inflation) supports long-term bullishness
Short-term: Overheated sentiment and high leverage could trigger a corrective move
🧠 Sentiment & Risk Management
Social media and crypto news outlets are buzzing with bullish narratives, but this euphoria often precedes a correction. Be patient and disciplined—wait for the retrace and confirmation before entering.
🟢 Risk Management:
Only enter after clear accumulation and bullish BOS
Use tight stops below the range
Consider scaling in if the range develops with clear absorption
📈 Trade Idea Summary
Wait for a retrace to the 50% Fibonacci level of the recent rally
Look for Wyckoff-style accumulation and a bullish break of structure
Enter long on confirmation, targeting new highs or the top of the previous range
Manage risk with stops below the accumulation range

Tesla - This Is Actually Not Gambling!Tesla ( NASDAQ:TSLA ) still looks quite bullish:
Click chart above to see the detailed analysis👆🏻
Just a couple of weeks ago I published a bunch of analysis, explaining all the reasons for a potential -40% drop on Tesla. However on the higher timeframe, Tesla still looks quite strong and with the bullish break and retest playing out so far, we could even see new all time highs soon.
Levels to watch: $260, $400

Trading Silver’s Retrace: 50% Equilibrium Strategy for XAGUSD🪙 XAUUSD Technical Analysis
The daily chart for XAGUSD shows a significant sell-off after a strong bullish move, with a retracement of approximately 21.93% from the recent swing high. However, the price has since broken structure to the upside, indicating a potential shift in momentum back to the bulls. The current price action is trending upward, approaching the previous high, which could act as a resistance level. Your plan to look for a retrace into the 50% equilibrium of the recent swing on the 4-hour chart is technically sound, as this level often acts as a magnet for price and a potential area for institutional order flow. Waiting for a pullback and a bullish structural break in your area of interest increases the probability of a successful long entry.
🔍 Key Levels & Price Action
The 50% equilibrium of the recent swing (measured from the swing low to the swing high) is a classic area for price to retrace before resuming the trend. If price pulls back into this zone and forms a bullish structure (such as a higher low or a bullish engulfing candle), it could provide a high-probability long setup. Watch for confirmation on lower timeframes (like the 4H) for added confluence. The previous high around $35 may act as resistance, so partial profits or tighter stops near this level could be prudent.
🌐 Fundamentals & Sentiment
Silver is currently benefiting from a mix of macroeconomic factors. Ongoing inflation concerns, central bank buying, and geopolitical tensions (such as those in Eastern Europe and the Middle East) are supporting precious metals. Additionally, industrial demand for silver remains robust, especially with the global push toward green energy and solar panel production. However, a stronger US dollar or rising bond yields could temporarily cap gains. Sentiment among retail traders is cautiously bullish, with many looking for dips to buy, but there is also a risk of volatility if macro data surprises.
🧠 Alternative Views
Some analysts caution that the recent rally may be overextended, and a deeper correction could occur if risk-off sentiment returns or if the Fed signals more aggressive tightening. Others point to the strong uptrend and suggest that any pullback is likely to be bought, especially if it aligns with key technical levels like the 50% retracement. Keep an eye on COT (Commitment of Traders) data for signs of large speculator positioning, as well as ETF flows for additional clues on institutional sentiment.
📈 Trade Management & Risk
If entering long on a pullback to the 50% equilibrium, consider using a stop loss below the swing low to protect against a deeper correction. Scaling out profits as price approaches the previous high or key resistance zones can help lock in gains. Always use proper risk management and avoid overleveraging, especially in a volatile market like silver.

US500 Day Trade Setup: Liquidity Pools, Gaps & What’s Next?The US500 (S&P 500) 4-hour chart recently showed a gap up, followed by a strong move into the previous range highs. This price action likely triggered buy stops and tapped into buy-side liquidity above the prior swing highs. After this liquidity sweep, the market has pulled back and is now consolidating just above a visible gap, which sits slightly below the current price level.
From a Wyckoff perspective, this resembles an upthrust after distribution, where price runs stops above resistance before reversing. The current pullback suggests a potential test of the gap area, which often acts as a magnet for price, especially if there’s unmitigated liquidity left behind.
Using ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts, the recent move above the range high can be seen as a raid on buy-side liquidity, followed by a retracement. The gap below current price represents an imbalance, and ICT traders often look for price to revisit such inefficiencies before resuming the trend.
🌐 Fundamental & Sentiment Backdrop
Recent data shows the S&P 500 has experienced a sharp correction in April, with a monthly drop of about 5.75% from the previous month, but it remains up 6.8% year-over-year (YCharts). The market has been volatile, with sentiment shifting due to macroeconomic concerns, including renewed trade tensions (notably new tariffs), a mixed earnings season, and questions about the Federal Reserve’s next moves (IG).
Wall Street analysts have recently revised their year-end targets lower, citing increased risks from tariffs and slowing earnings growth (Yahoo Finance). The VIX is elevated (28.45), and the put/call ratio is above 1, indicating heightened hedging and caution among market participants (YCharts).
🏦 Wyckoff & ICT Concepts in Play
🏗️ Wyckoff: The recent rally into the highs and subsequent pullback fits the upthrust after distribution narrative. If the market fails to reclaim the highs, a move back into the gap (potentially as a sign of weakness) is likely.
💧 ICT: The gap below current price is a clear area of interest. If price trades down to fill this gap, watch for a reaction—either a bounce (if demand steps in) or a continuation lower if the gap fails to hold.
💡 Day Trade Idea (Not Intra-day)
Scenario: If price trades down to fill the gap just below the current level (around 5,300–5,320), monitor for a bullish reaction (such as a strong daily close, a bullish order block, or a clear rejection wick).
Trade Plan:
🕵️♂️ Wait for price to fill the gap and show a bullish daily signal.
🎯 Enter a day trade long at the next day’s open if confirmation is present (e.g., a bullish daily candle close or a break above the previous day’s high).
🛑 Place a stop loss just below the gap or the most recent swing low.
📈 Target the previous high near 5,400 for a day trade, or consider scaling out if momentum continues.
Alternative: If price fails to hold the gap and closes below it on the daily chart, consider a day trade short the following day, targeting the next liquidity pool below (e.g., 5,200).

Nvidia - The Chart Just Told Us So!Nvidia ( NASDAQ:NVDA ) might just still head a little lower:
Click chart above to see the detailed analysis👆🏻
After Nvidia perfectly retested the previous rising channel resistance just a couple of months ago, it was quite expected that we'll see a retracement. The overall trend however still remains bullish and if Nvidia drops a little more, the overall bullrun continuation rally might just follow.
Levels to watch: $80

EURUSD Top - Down AnalysisHello Students and Traders,
Just thought to give y'all a quick top-down analysis on the EURUSD pair today.
While we see some Bearishness on the Monthly chart, the lower time frames of the Weekly, Daily and 4 Hour are all looking Bullish. With these 3 timeframes having a confluence of liquidity target, which is only a few pips shy of the Monthly Zone, it appears the market is looking to drive prices bullish, right into the Monthly Zone, from where we will expect and hope to see the resumed bearishness of the Monthly, together with a consequential reversal of trend on the 3 timeframes of the Weekly, Daily and 4 Hour Timeframes.
For now, we wait and watch how prices play out on the 1 hour, to give us the confirmation to move Bullish, or expect a short term bearish reversal.
Enjoy the analysis guys...
Oil Short: Ending Diagonal and Rising WedgeI propose that Oil is a good short candidate because of what I am seeing:
1. Rising Wedge
2. Ending Diagonal within the Rising Wedge
I propose 3 entry points for shorting but mention that if you are shorting at the top of the trendline, to cater for false breakout, meaning more allowance in your stop.
Good luck!
S&P500 Long then Short: Last Wave 5 of 5In this video, I updated the wave counts for S&P500 and expects a last wave 5 of 5 (thus the long). I uses 2 Fibonacci extensions to project the final target and chose the lower of the target as the TP.
Once the target is reached, then we look for a reversal signal before entering short. The target of the short will be the end of sub-wave 4 as illustrated.
Good luck!
