BTCUSD retraced its trend down of mid January LONGBitcoin has retraced the trend down from the January 11 pivot high. The retracement is 0.5 Fib
level. The zero-lag MACD and dual TF RSI both show bullish momentum. I believe BTCUSD
may consolidate here and then at least by the Luxalgo Echo indicator bullish continuation
will restart. I see a good entry at 43800 with a stop loss below the 0.5 Fib level at 43250
which would be about 1.25% My target at the second upper VWAP band line is 47800 or about
8% upside. This is confluent with the 0.618 Fib extension. The reward to risk would be 4000 /
550 or about 7.

GE Buy the Pullback ( Flip the switch) now LONG I previously published the idea of shorting GE. It has now pulled back more than 4%
on the retreacement. The short idea paid well using put options to profit from the
pump of earnings expectations. Earnings were great but the run up was too much for
traders. GE has now retreated and is ready for a long entry. Price is now in the
undervalued range of both the short and intermediate term VWAP bands.
The target is $99.99which is basically the price immediately before the earnings report.
Confirmation is tbe zero lag MACD where the K/D lines crossed under the histogram and are heading
together to cross over the zero line while the histogram flipped from negative to positive.
Call options in the money expiring 5/5 are considered.
Can NFLX trend higher ? LONGIn its past NFLX got through the Covid downturn with only a 10% correction, then went through
a rise into a year of consolidation and finally another big trend up which reversed badly in
Winter 2021. After a business model adaption and modification of subscriptions and
password/account sharing protections, price has made great gains. On the weekly chart,
a trend upward has been in place since July 2022. On the weekly chart, bigger ranged
candles have been put in for two weeks.
It seems that from here, while NFLX could rise heading toward a new all time high. On the
other hand, just as it did in 2020 at a similar price level ( marked as # 1 and an oval around
the price action), it could get range bound or consolidated ( # 2 marking the present.)
The mass index indicator gives a hint that the trend will continue and not reverse. It is
fluctuating in a mid-range without a hint of rising into the threshold and trigger zones.
Notably in the 2021 downturn, the RSI and MACD ZL) signaled the reversal before the
mass index. Those two indicators in the present show no hint of bearish divergence so far.
Accordingly, for the time being, NFLX continues to be a long trade with 20% upside into
the level of the all-time high ( discounting any effects of inflation and dollar devaluation
in any of this which is very important overall but generally ignored).
DogeCoin Ready to Rise ? LONGOn the daily chart. DOGEUSD appears to be at the support line of a symmetrical triangle
pattern with about 30% upside to the pivot high in early December. The RSI lines are stable
and flat sideways in the 40-45 range. The zero-lag MACD shows lines near to the horizontal
zero level. The Fib tool suggests that a retrace to 0.09 is a reasonable target level.
Accordingly, an upside of 30% is forecasted for the next bullish spike. I will wait for a cross of
a shorter MA line over a longer MA line as a "golden cross" sign of bullish momentum and take a
position there .
UROY Uranium finance lease mining play LONGUROY does royalties foe uranium mining ore to refined et cetera. On the 60 minute chart,
it has been on fire this week picking up 30% in market cap showing explosive volumes
at 5X and sustained. The past two days have been rest and recuperation in consolidation.
The zero-lag MACD suggests there is more upside in the near term with a line cross under a
histogram rising from zero. The advanced RSI indicator shows a relative strength pullback from
80ish to about 65 and surprisingly the linear regression lines suggest an oversold state at
present. I will take a long position here which may be risky at nearly 2 standard deviations
above a rising mean VWAP and extended from the POC line of the volume profile but the
supertrend indicator is showing a stepped rise and that is good enough for me. I have a
new position in UEC a penny energy stock in the uranium subsector.
SIRI is pulled back for a LONG entryOn 1 120 minute chart, SIRI is now well positioned having tested the support of
two sets of VWAP bands anchored back two earnings periods and so 3 months apart.
The mean VWAPs are confluent and so form strong support. I expect the price to
return to the early December high and test that level. In the past day a buying volume
aberrant spike was printed. The MACD lines have been crisscrossing under the histogram
signaling support of the cons9olidation of price with a series of Doji candles before the
final engulfing green dandle. Of interest, the next expiration of the options is February 16th.
On that date the dominant option strikes are %5.00 , %5.50 and $6.00
$5.00 is the present level for the strong support of the confluent mean VWAPs aforementioned
It is in this range that I will join the options activity for the time being. I will take a few calls
at each strike level as they are presently priced at $ 12- $ 32 per contract. I will also
take 10-20 shares of stock in a short position to provide a little risk-off hedging.
BYND is signaling a reversal LONGBYND on the 15 minute chart has been in a VWAP band breakdown finally slowing down
with the ranging of the candles transitioning from wide body candles into ones more narrow.
Earnings were a very mild beat in the thick of the fall as apparently traders expected more.
The zero-lag MACD has crossed lines under a red histogram that flipped green. The dual time
frame RS Indicator shows low green TF and higher black TF low in the range but holding over
20-25. Relative to the fall of price this is hidden bullish divergence. My analysis is that
this is BYND at the near term bottom awaiting my long reversal trade. I will target 15.4 and
16.3 from the upside VWAP lines. If you are interested in my idea for a call option trade
please leave a comment. If you find the idea helpful please leave a like or even a follow.
Can NFLX rebound from the down turn after earnings?NFLX started a good trend up about June 25 and then pulled back in the day after the
earnings report. Although the earnings beat expectations, price continued to drop in
a VWAP breakdown shown here on a 2 hr chart. Over the 2 days that followed, price
has continued down at a slower rate and candle ranges are diminished. Importantly,
the zero=lag MACD shows a line cross under the histogram which has changed from
red /negative to green/positive. The lines have inflected upward. I see this as demonstrative
of bullish divergence and predictive of a reversal.
Overall, I see NFLX rebounding with a potential 15% upside. My target is 480 in consideration
of the swing high on July 18th with a stop loss of 415 the swing low of late June.
BOIL ( 3x Nat Gas ETF) Reverses to UpsideOn shown on the 15 minute chart with a VWAP band/line setup anchored to the July 1st
pivot high. BOIL is in a VWAP breakout since bottoming mid-day July 17th. Confirming
the reversal are the Price Volume Trend Oscillator printing a green histogram and an
upgoing signal line as well as the zero-lag MACD with upgoing parallel lines crossing
the zero-horizontal line. Price has crossed over the mean VWAP. On the dual time frame
RSI indicator both the lower and higher RS lines ( blue and black) are above the 50 level
and the lower time frame is higher highlighting bullish momentum.
I will take a long trade targeting based on the VWAP lines first $65 and then $68. I will open
equal amounts of call options striking the targets with expirations on July 28th. I seek a
100% ROI in the next 6-8 trading days. On an intraday basis, I may enter a low DTE call option
at the low of day ( typically mid-morning) and exit at the high of day the same or next day.
TMF - Long Term Leveraged Treasury ETFOn this 4H Chart TMF has rallied in the past week about 9% as the reports of the impetus of
inflation has diminished. On the zero-lag MACD, the lines are staying above the histogram
which has not converted from negative to positive. The dual time frame RSI showing
low 1 hour TF in blue and daily TF in black has the lower crossing over the higher both
at the lows on July 10th and now both over 50 with the low 1 hour TF still above the higher
daily TF. This confirms bullish momentum. Price is on a VWAP breakout ascending from
the support of the 2nd negative mean anchored VWAP to above the mean anchored VWAP with
a retest as well. Price is now above the POC line of the volume profile demonstrative
the dominance of buying pressure over selling pressure. On the ADX indicator, a positive trend
is rising while down trend is dropping proportionately with the intersection and cross occurring
on July 12. Positive ADX is staying above 20.
Overall I see this as an excellent setup for a long swing trade targeting 8.05 in the area of
the values of the highs of June. A higher target would be about 8.3 where there were some
recent pivots If the fed does an about-face and pauses rate hikes, a significant rally could
ensue.
Is JD a Chinese economy equity setting up a reversal?JD on the long term weekly chart appears to be in a descending wedge pattern which
would generate a bias for a breakout upside. Price is now supported by the one standard
deviation line below the VWAP bands anchored to 2019. The analysis of the ultralong term
volume profile is that the Point of Control is just below price and that the vast majority of
trading volume has been above the current price. I can readily presume that JD is at or
near a bottom and most certainly the 1, 2, and 3 year lows. Analysis on higher time frames
such as the weekly are more likely to be accurate with good signals. On the MACD signals
have crossed in mid-May and now ascending in parallel toward the zero line while price
is bouncing around at what I will call the bottom. Said another way, the MACD is showing
bullish divergence. The upside here over a long term could be as much as 250% and much
much more with a long expiration options contract. I will open a long trade here in
a small position with a stop loss below the POC line and DTA into it over time whenever there
is a pivot low on the weekly chart. I am confident that the Cinese economy with supposedly
zero inflation will be an excellent backdrop for Chinese stocks to run higher in due time.
GLD is the high volume EFT that is tracking the gold bullrun which started two weeks ago on July 3rd after
a downtrend for two months starting on May 2nd. This is not a leveraged ETF
as so a bit less volatile than JNUG or GDXU. On the 2H chart, I have added a
VWAP band line setup anchored into the pivot high.
On my analysis:
1. GLD is ascending through VWAP band lines in a VWAP breakout.
2. Volume is steady
3. The Price Volume Trend Oscillator went from a diminishing negative/red histogram
into green on July 5th.
4. On the zero-lag MACD, the lines crossed while under the histogram reversing a descent on July 17th and marking the end of a minor correction of the uptrend then confirmed by those
lines crossing the zero-line the following day.
I conclude that GLD is set up for a long trade. While others might simply take a trade of
stocks I will use call options to take a long position. My target is $190 between the
second and third positive standard deviations of the mean VWAP. I will purchase 50
options contracts for about $37 each expiring August 4th. I will hold all of them until
July 27th and liquidate half of them at the high of day on that Thursday expecting
Friday to be a down day. The remaining 25 contracts will be sold at the rate of
6 contracts per day until the overall position is closed. Overall, I expect to realize
200% in profits over the 12-13 trading days in the trade. I plan for a 15% stop loss and
expect the trade to be above break-even with the first stop loss advance which I expect
will be on Friday.
Will JPM higher after earnings ?JPM is in an uptrend since earnings the morning of July 14th at the end of the
trading week. On the 1H chart with VWAP band lines anchored to a week before
earnings as a dynamic support and resistance reference shows a rise from below
the first standard deviation above the mean VWAP to above it with a pullback
after the earnings and then a continuation at the depth of the pullback today
July 17th.
The two-time frame RSI indicator shows the lower TF blue line moving lower
despite the uptrend today. This is suggestive of bearish divergence.
The zero-lag MACD shows a cross of the lines above the histogram suggesting
a reversal as does the green to red and positive to negative on the histogram.
As a result, I will watch JPM for reversal and a put option or short sell stock
trade.
KO- one of Warren Buffet's favorites Buy SetupKO on the 4 H chart is ready for a long trade. Stop Loss is just below the green demand zone of
the Luxalgo indicator while the target is just below the red supply zone of the indicator.
I will take a long trade of call options with a strike of $ 60.00 expiring in September but a
stock trade has 6-7% upside with a stop loss of 0.5% making it an excellent potential reward
for the risk taken.
KOLD drops with Natural Gas RisesOn the daily chart KOLD has been testing resistance since February with a single touch in
February , a head and shoulders in April and a double top in early May. It is now retracing
due to the rise in natural gas prices in the past 10 days. A support line from a prior
retracement in early March is drawn at 41.45. This analysis is further supported by the zero-lag
MACD oscillator. I will take a trade of put options but short selling is another alternative.
Once in the trade, a signal to close will be the red zone outside the bands as was the case
in late February. The actual sell signal being the thick MACD black line inflecting from moving
downward to upward. KOLD could drop 80% from the present price down to the POC line of
the volume profile at about $ 12.50. If leveraged with put options this could represent
a 5X profit or better. Any sustained rebound in natural gas prices will lend heavy support to
this idea. IF a trader wants to capture smaller moves albeit at the risk of getting into a chop
zone, a smaller time fram such as 30-120 minutes could be used.
UNG retracement complete- to uptrend again.UNG as shown on the 15-minute chart had an untrend for a week culminated by the very steep
finish to the uptrend into resistance followed by a very rapid bounce down and retracement.
A standard 50% Fibonacci retracement is now complete. UNG appears to be bounding off
the POC line of the volume profile which coincides with the 0.5 Fib level.
UNG tracks the natural gas futures, especially the leading month. It appears now ready to
resume an uptrend. This is a directional bearing on the trend for any instrument based on
natural gas prices including XNGUSD on forex.
KRE Is a reversal underway?KRE the regional bank ETF is down about 50 % YTD, with a couple of bank failures leading the
way. The question that arises is whether there is more downside. Faith and trust in the
the banking system is at risk. The big banks came in their rescue on First Republic. A run on
the little banks can hurt the big banks even Goldman Sacks. Holding treasuries with fixed
rates lower than current rate sucks for sure. The fed will clean up this mess and will
do it right and has started that process. KRE chart with the fisher transform indicator
and the zero-lag MACD tells me that KRE is now " reverting to the mean" & dropped below
the Fibonacci bands of the basis EMA. Line crossovers on the indicators are confirmatory.
I will seize the situation and add to my long position. Due you agree that this is picking low
laying fruit?
PANW Is this bank stock reversing or a correction?PANW as a stressed back stock has been trending down. However as seen with the regional
banks at large ( KRE as an example ) the bear market had a bullish rally the past couple of
trading days. So, is this a reversal to trade or merely a pullback of the trend down good for
a short entry? On the 15 minute chart price has ascended to outside the Fibonacci bands
(EMA 42 2.618 bands) where mean reversion may soon apply. The fisher transform lines are
approaching the redline above where reversal is statistically likely. On the zero lag MACD,
the lines have crossed and are about to cross the zero line. Overall, the chart suggests to be
that PANW and perhaps the regional banks in general are merely taking a break from the trend
down. I see this as an entry opportunity to join the continuation of the trend and will take
a short position.
NIO REVERSES within descending parallel channelOn the 30-minute chart, I have drawn the upper (red) and lower (green) trendlines
of the descending parallel channel. While it had been riding the upper edge of
the Fibonacci/ EMA channel, it has reversed and headed toward the base EMA with
the candles green to red. The zero-lag MACD indicator lines crossed above the
histogram while the True Strength Index oscillator has had a line cross in the supply /
resistance zone for further information. I conclude it is time to close long positions
in profit and cross the aisle into short positions. I will take a put option trade for
the expirations of 5/19 @ $ 9.50 but a less risky trade would be a longer exiration
by 1-2 weeks ( while at the same time decreasing the reward potential.)
ERX Energy Leveraged ETF LongERX is a bullish leveraged ETF for the energy sector similar to XLE.
On the 30 minute chart, the supply and demand zones are displayed from
the Luxalgo indicator. The midline between them is the red line which
is confluent with the POC line of the volume profile.
On the prior down trend last week, price got support from that line
and bounced back to the supply zone above.
On the present down trend price broke the line which has now
become resistance. At present it is sitting on the demand zone
and bounced off it into a reversal this morning.
The Zero Lag MACD confirms this with rising K and D Lines crossing
the zero line and the histogram flipping positive.
My long trade is targeting the redline between supply and demand zones
@ $ 60.25 while the stop loss is at the top the demand zone at $ 58.15
From an entry of $ 59.15 this is $ 1.00 of risk for a targeted reward
of $ 1.10 making the R/R essentially 1:1 I see this as a safe long
trade with low risk and low reward.
GM General Motors Pre Earnings LONGGM is on a 4H chart. Fundamentally, the last earnings were good. GM is challenged by the adoption
of electric vehicles and the transformation of its core business. Small EV companies ( CANOO, RIDE, WKHS, FFIE, MULN)
are mainly undercapitalized noise. The competition is really TSLA and Ford. Earnings upcoming are April 25th
Technically, the price has been trending also a support of the lower standard deviations of the anchored VWAP originating
on the date of the last earnings. Recently price has moved from -2 STD VWAP band to the higher -1 STD band.
Price is now sitting on the support shown by the Luxalgo indicator with the earnings report due The VWAP bands
are quickly losing slope as earnings report day of April 25 approaches. the zero lag MACD has lines crossing under the
zero line and the histogram has just turned positive. These serve as confirmation entry signals.
I see this as entry time for an earnings play. Entry is by market order with a stop loss below the demand zone.
Targets are VWAP ( purple line), the midline between the demand/supply zones, and then the final target is the +1 STD above
VWAP ( downsloping stepped black line). Overall a reward for the risk of about 4X. I may opt to play this with call options
striking $35.00 expiring on 5/5 and currently priced at FWB:112 per contract.
Harley is having a spring sale HOG LONG ?The chart shows HOG to have reversed above its intermediate-term support.
Price is just below the near-term POC line of the volume profile and 30 % below
the intermediate-term POC line where increased volatility could result in
a rejection bounce or alternatively a push higher into the low-volume area
above.
The zero-lag MACD shows the lines crossed under the histogram and crossed
over the zero line.
The Bolliger Bands indicator shows a buy signal with a price near to the lower
band.
Overall, this is a good place to take a long swing trade of stock or even
a call option of 4 weeks duration mindful that it might be strategic
to "ride" the anticipation of earnings on April 25th but close out the option contract
or stock position a few days before the earnings report.
For the stock trade, stop loss and target are drawn onto the chart.
