BTC Pullback? What a run for Bitcoin the last couple days! Really loving in.
But as we just created a higher high, took out some of that buy side liquidity and starting to see some distribution at these highs on seconds charts, I have set an aggressive low-risk entry to take back some of that liquidity that was formed on that massive push up.
Normally I would like to see more confirmation before entering a trade but I have this feeling that this may be a quick move down, even if Bitcoin looks bullish as hell right now. But like I said, low risk trade to see if this plays out.
Looking to see Bitcoin come down in the coming days to grab some of that downside liquidity around $38.5k before the next push up.
Regardless as this is a risk trade, I will set break-even on this trade as soon as it breaks some structure to the downside, if it does.
If this gets stopped out, I will reevaluate and potentially look to reenter, assuming it doesn't shoot up from here.

Gold prices under pressure | Market outlookGold prices show a rather active decline during the Asian session, developing a "bearish" signal formed the day before, when the instrument was pressured by the growth of US Treasury bond yields and expectations of a tougher position of the US Federal Reserve on the reduction of existing stimuli. At the same time, gold ignored the fact of the decline in USD, which is awaiting the publication of Friday's labor market report for July. Among other things, analysts expect an increase in new jobs in the non-agricultural sector by 870K after an increase of 850K in June. The unemployment rate in the country may fall from 5.9% to 5.7%, which may be a signal for the regulator to start reducing the existing incentives.
W facing headwinds with goods spending decliningW is facing serious headwinds with spending on goods declining rapidly as the economy opens up and services come back. Price action on W over the last few months has formed an almost perfect Wyckoff distribution pattern. We are now in Phase E, and there is a long way down.
USDCAD | Market outlookThe Canadian dollar weakened slightly against its U.S. counterpart on Friday, but ended a volatile week higher as investor sentiment improved and a preliminary estimate showed Canadian retail sales rebounding in June. CAD weakened 0.1% per greenback. For the week, the Canadian currency gained 0.3%, after three straight weekly declines. Canadian retail sales dropped 2.1% in May from April, Statistics Canada said, less than a 3.0% decline forecast by economists.
We will likely see bearish trend continuation in the following sessions. It's recommended to sell on the rallies.
BTC Wyckoff Distribution. Are we sure the pattern is complete?Short-Med term bearish, long term bullish ( i believe this cycle still has to finish correcting before we can start accumulating foe the next one).
Just my own opinion but I'm seeing that everyone is all bullish because we've just had a pump, & people are now thinking we're in the Wyckof Accumulation phase.. Are we forgetting that the Wyckoff Distribution has 2 big tests on either side & all look rather symmetrical? The one earlier was not big enough to be that, & the leg down not long enough. You couldn't call that one a "Fakeout test", it was just a re-test. Wyckoff Distributions commonly have a last big Fakeout to exhaust more retail supply & induce one more big shorting opportunity before coming down to consolidation & accumulation phase. Are we forgetting too that sub 50% is a cycle correction? Most parabolic pumps correct 60-80% before accumulation, both in micro & macro. 2017 ATH corrected 81% before finally ending correction late 2018. This has happened alot quicker, & there is more institutional money this time so i wouldn't expect an identical correction but we have to expect that an end of cycle is generally more than 55%. So i feel that this isnt done yet, this is a test, & the Wyckoff pattern & head & shoulders still has to compete before the next cycle can begin.
Another thing i would add is ive been following the chart with a Fib Spiral since just early January, just after the retest down after the first big test. The same pattern that forms waves, clouds etc. By the time we got to Wave no 3 i noticed the wave peaks were plateauing out, in line with the shape of the spiral. I had a big feeling Wave no4, 64k was the peak but i didn't trust my own judgement cos im still learning. But by the time we got to Wave no5 i realised that the bigger wave, the whole cycle, was about to break. So i cashed everything to stables & ultimately avoided a whole lot of pain. So given the whole cycle seems to be shaped by the spiral, the fact that the first big test up, on the upside, & the recent big test up on the downside, are almost identically opposite each other at around the same price level, rings major alarm bells for me. They look far too symmetrical to me to be a mere coincidence, & remember symmetry is such a common thread in chart patterns, head & shoulders/double bottoms/double tops ect. So i think there's a high chance we haven't finished our correction from ATH yet. there's too much adoption & fundamentals now for it to be a full 80% correction like 2017, but i think 65% is highly likely.
We also have to take into account the fact the announcement just after NY trading hours finished, on monday, the same day of the biggest buying volumes in months, that Tether is being taken to court by the DOJ over fraud, something they will have a harder time defending than Ripple over the SEC. So its highly likely that the sudden trading volume was Tether insiders & Bitfinex hurredly offloading Tether for BTC in advance o the announcement. Given how much Wyckoff activity is all market insiders i find the coincidence between the pump & the announcement on the same day very suspicious. So again, another reason to believe that this "Breakout" is a fakeout & not a trend.
Tread carefully.. But of course the much bigger picture, across cycles is still up.. 2017 ATH corrected 81% & then the next ATH was 13-14x that. So if we repeat the pattern then the next ATH is about 260k. But i dnt believe that will happen for another year. And the sooner we finish correcting, the sooner we can start accumulating, & the cheaper the buying will be.. Tread carefully, don't FOMO in, wait a little to see what happens. I'm certain this correction isn't finished yet..
Take care & look after yourselves :)
Distribution Schematic #1 WyckoffFrom what I see; BTC if following the Wyckoff Distribution #1 chart. Where we are in close to the end of the Last point of supply and begin our decent downward to our Sign of Weakness and begin our Accumulation phase. Educated guess that the Selling Climax(SC) in the accumulation schematic will be around and/or below 18K.
EURUSD Wyckoff Analysis: ShortThe market did move narrowly and had a fake breakout. That is typical for whyckoff phase D during distribution.
PSY—preliminary supply, where large interests begin to unload shares in quantity after a pronounced up-move. Volume expands and price spread widens, signaling that a change in trend may be approaching.
BC—buying climax, during which there are often marked increases in volume and price spread. The force of buying reaches a climax, with heavy or urgent buying by the public being filled by professional interests at prices near a top. A BC often coincides with a great earnings report or other good news, since the large operators require huge demand from the public to sell their shares without depressing the stock price.
AR—automatic reaction. With intense buying substantially diminished after the BC and heavy supply continuing, an AR takes place. The low of this selloff helps define the lower boundary of the distribution TR.
ST—secondary test, in which price revisits the area of the BC to test the demand/supply balance at these price levels. For a top to be confirmed, supply must outweigh demand; volume and spread should thus decrease as price approaches the resistance area of the BC. An ST may take the form of an upthrust (UT), in which price moves above the resistance represented by the BC and possibly other STs before quickly reversing to close below resistance. After a UT, price often tests the lower boundary of the TR.
SOW—sign of weakness, observable as a down-move to (or slightly past) the lower boundary of the TR, usually occurring on increased spread and volume. The AR and the initial SOW(s) indicate a change of character in the price action of the stock: supply is now dominant.
LPSY—last point of supply. After testing support on a SOW, a feeble rally on narrow spread shows that the market is having considerable difficulty advancing. This inability to rally may be due to weak demand, substantial supply or both. LPSYs represent exhaustion of demand and the last waves of large operators’ distribution before markdown begins in earnest.
UTAD—upthrust after distribution. A UTAD is the distributional counterpart to the spring and terminal shakeout in the accumulation TR. It occurs in the latter stages of the TR and provides a definitive test of new demand after a breakout above TR resistance. Analogous to springs and shakeouts, a UTAD is not a required structural element: the TR in Distribution Schematic #1 contains a UTAD, while the TR in Distribution Schematic #2 does not.
LATE SHORTERS(GENIUS) SQUEEZELate shorters , were bullish just a few days ago, who thought yesterday that " oh 30k support is broken I will short here, I am a GENIUS!!" people will be wiped out with the latest pump action. This green movement will stop when they are liquaidated and/or long again. Probably at most 32.5k - 33k . Still Supply trendline shows 31500 is the turning point but I think we will have a fakeout considering Elon Mush charlatan will make some pumping talk tonight in his crypto debate.

Wyckoff on NASThis is what I see right now. Subject to change after market opens tonight.
Expecting a retrace to get liquidity and close some IMB's then continue back down.
Wyckoff Distribution Trade SetupSo OANDA:AUDUSD has been forming a textbook Wyckoff distribution pattern and is hanging by a thread atm. We are currently entering phase E which according to the Wyckoff distribution schematic is a markdown phase. You can clearly see the price manipulate the highs and break down out of the structure. If you still haven't shorted yet you might want to wait for the falling wedge to break or wait for some type of institutional candle of some sort. Targets would be according to my fib levels around the .382 and the .618 retrace. Follow for more trade setups! Good Luck traders!

Wyckoff on EUI loved this markup because it shows me I'm thinking better about charting and WHY a move is made.
So This played out nice. I think it will still clear a bit more liquidity at the top before heading back down IF the downward trend is over this is a good place to go higher.
There was several OB's unmitigated that got filled the last 2 days. After the news drop it went back up then down and on its true path.
The buy and sell were off unmitigated OB's with entry from 5M TF
So this started a a sell yesterday that turned into a buy today.
