Wave Analysis
View Of #BTC for 2025 on 2D Time FrameMy target of 1 #BTC = 100K$ is completed. Now, on 12/24/2024, I update my new technical analysis of #BTC for 2025.
The red top 3 can stop anywhere in the 108K-130K zone.
The blue 12345 is the small wave of the red wave 3.
The blue top 5 can also stop anywhere in the 108K-130K zone to create the red top 3.
Supposing the red wave 3 ended at the 108K peak, the blue 4 will not stop in the 92K-85K zone, but there will be a D1 candle closing below 85K to confirm that the price can go deeper to the red bottom 4 before continuing to increase in price according to the red wave 5.
Bitcoin DominanceMaximum suffering is nearing completion for #alts
While the major correction that occurred in #Bitcoin recently will cause a major upward phase for CRYPTOCAP:BTC.D , it will also be left behind as a healthy RETEST for the supply zone lost on a monthly basis and the rising wedge.

GOLD // How can it reach the correction fibo 38.2?The daily short countertrend is valid, and the W/D/H4 timeframes are in sync, resulting in my bearish view.
As long as the daily impulse base is not broken by the buyers, there are two clean breakouts that may trigger the shorts and lead the price to the target zone.

Comparing US10Y/DXY/US500/VIX, fundamental/technical analysisProposed technical/fundamental analysis for US10Y/DXY/US500/VIX.
Bank unrealized losses on available-for-sale and held to maturity securities was $364 billion in Q3 2024; this number will continue to increase as long-term treasure rates increase (www.fdic.gov).
US10Y yield chart looks for yield to go higher, north of 5%. If treasury rates continue to increase, there may be a bank run, as banks get more and more underwater with their unrealized losses. DXY will go up above 120, US500 will crater below October 2022 low of 3490.2, and VIX will pop towards 80.
XAUUSD 99% confirm Gold (XAU/USD) is trading with a moderate positive tone on Friday following the sharp sell-off earlier this week. Cooler-than-expected US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index data on Friday has increased selling pressure on the US Dollar, although the precious metal is struggling to put a significant distance from the one-month lows hit this weekPCE Inflation has increased 0.1% in November, against expectations of a 0.2% increment. The yearly rate accelerated to 2.4% from the previous month's 2.3% reading, still below the 2.5% anticipated by the market consensus. Likewise, the Core PCE eased to 0.1% from 0.3% in October while the yearly inflation remained steady at 2,8% against market expectations of an uptick to 2.9%from heavily oversold levels. The broader trend, however, remains bearish. The pair is struggling to find acceptance above $2,600 and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) in the 4-hour chart remains flat at levels below the 50 threshold, highlighting the bearish momentum.
Immediate resistance is at the $2,605 intra-day high, with the key resistance area to challenge the bearish trend at the $2,625-$2,630 area (November 28, December 2 lows). On the downside, supports are at Wednesday’s low at around $2,580, ahead of November’s trough at $2,540.
EURUSD (Cycles)EURUSD Moving on the channel. I showed the cycles (about 4 year cycle). Need touch to resistance line of the channel (50-61.8% level fibonacci). After that, I must show the minimum of this cycle. Most likely it will be in 2018. This will be accompanied by a strong strengthening of the dollar

The ETF's resilience through economic cycles and its consistent dividend growth make it an excellent candidate for long-term portfolios.

BTC/USD Weekly Chart Analysis: Potential Price Scenarios in 2025Overview:
Bitcoin has displayed remarkable strength in the past few months, approaching critical levels in its long-term ascending channel. The current price action reflects bullish momentum, but there are key levels to watch for potential corrections or continuations. Here’s my detailed analysis based on this weekly chart.
Key Observations:
Ascending Channel:
BTC is trading near the upper boundary of a well-established ascending channel, which has historically acted as resistance.
If this boundary is broken with strong volume, the next potential target lies around $116,000.
Structure Levels:
A Weak High at $102,000 indicates the possibility of a short-term pullback before testing the resistance zone.
Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) signals confirm bullish dominance, but corrections are part of healthy price action.
Moving Averages:
The 50-week and 100-week moving averages continue to slope upward, with price trading well above these levels, signaling a strong bullish trend.
Any retracement could find support at the 50-week MA or the mid-range of the channel.
Support and Resistance Zones:
Resistance: $102,000–$116,000.
Support: $76,000 (Golden Pocket) and $64,000.
Indicators:
RSI is currently overbought at 75, indicating the potential for a cooling-off phase.
MACD shows bullish momentum but hints at overextension as the histogram peaks.
Projected Scenario:
Scenario 1: BTC tests the Weak High at $102,000, faces rejection, and consolidates near the mid-range before attempting to break higher.
Scenario 2: BTC breaks out of the ascending channel, initiating a parabolic move toward $116,000.
Potential Risks:
A failure to hold support at $76,000 could lead to a deeper correction, testing key structural levels like $64,000 and $42,000.
Macro factors such as interest rate decisions or global economic uncertainties could heavily impact sentiment.
Conclusion:
Bitcoin is in a strong bull market phase, but caution is warranted near the upper boundary of the channel. Traders should monitor key levels and volume for confirmation of breakout or rejection. A pullback to the mid-range could provide an excellent buying opportunity for long-term holders.

SHIBUSD Bullish AnalysisSHIB is range bound however movements tend to be fairly large with this asset after it has finished the inital pump. I show 2 possible bullish scenarios with the green lines indicating the most likely direction for the trade with the red dots indicating a take profit, not a short entry. This is because of the eratic nature of this coin price action could break out above either of the order walls both above and below current price action. These order walls are keeping the price action range bound with sideway movement the most likely scenario at this time. This coin already pumped almost 400% and has already pulled back substantially. Any take profits could lead to substantial cash in a re-entry at a lower price scenario or yield a massive amount of additional coins.
VARAUSD - Updated Technical AnalysisAs anticipated, price action broke through the middle band of the bollinger bands on the weekly and sadly did not produce a wick. Price action rejected off of the lower band placing us in a range bound movement again. While overall movement is sideways, with two red candles preceding this a green candle is stastically more likely and overnight on Sunday (tonight) will hopefully yield some movement out of USDX to the downside as I anticipate that this most recent market volatility is due to the over-active Federal Reserve board trying to shake things up prior to Trump taking office. It is no secret that the Board and Donald Trump do not see eye to eye and do not like each other. The thing is, these markets are hitting record volumes monthly. The entire market has pulled back which is a normal knee jerk reaction to the Fed loosening up on printing. I am in the banking sector professionally and know that the high rates have caused banks to fail and did very little to help slow inflation anyway. I do not foresee the rapid lowering of interest rates to do very much damage over the long run considering oil prices can be weaponized by the whitehouse to target high inflation, simply by making fuel dirt cheap inflation will go away. I would say, lets keep watching these order walls that are just below and above current price action within whatever order flow program you choose and lets see if that lower order wall moves up. I have a gut feeling that it is going to move up and when it does the price will level up.
