What to look for next week. After my lose streak, a win streak?AAAAAAH PONZI IS TRYING TO GET ME! Leave me alone I will not fall for it! Everything is a ponzi they are trying to get us!
Did you know ponzi's existed before Ponzi and were invented by a woman (unless they existed even before)?
Women are a scam! They do not really exist they are out to get us! Women are a ponzi!
They promise new humans every few years in exchange for time and money! Scam!
No, I am not high.
Ok nothing is a ponzi, well except crypto of course, what an incredible scam.
I might have spent too much time watching this meme market recently. What a ridiculous space, trully unbelievable.
Before diving in each market (every market except bonds basically since I can't find a broker for bonds), let me explain that risk reward winrate thing:
It is so laborious, like people start wnating to be right all the time and getting a high winrate, but that does not work, so they aim for high risk to reward,
but you get stopped all the time and that is bad. So either abandon (can't figure out there is more to trading than drawing triangles & butterflies and chaisng good "RR"? lololol), or they might try to combine RR & Winrate, which is smart. BUT RR does not go up with winrate going down, there is a 3rd element to add: frequency. Or how active the trader is. You can have a large risk to reward and an incredible winrate at the same time. It is possible. But then you will only be taking 1 trade a year.
So here is what to look at:
- Risk to reward
- Winrate
- How many trades will you be taking? If it is too low you will want to lower the bar to get more opportunities.
- Also we could add weakling things like "how many losses can you handle in a row" "How much time do you have?" "Boohoohoo my emotions" etc.
Ok let's look at all the ponzi's 1 by 1 :)
Currencies :
The US dollar broke out of consolidation eary-mid august which is nice, but it is trolling right now. Cannot tell where it is likely to go next now...
But that uncertainty does not stop Forex pairs (it stops EURUSD thought). I will not post all that I am watching, but I will post a few.
For example the USD/Yuan FINALLY dumped and made a lower low, that was overdue. Unless the USD gets stronger I am expecting a downtrend soon.
The People’s Bank of China made announcements that will ease credit conditions, and it's monetary policy is shifting, so that caused a Yuan crash,
but as always, people overeacted, and the news got overpriced, it got way oversold. Time for a correction.
Pound versus Swiss Franc. Super bearish.
But I know we are reaching a certain level now, and I expect it to go down with bullish divergence, I will then go long. We can already see the momentum is much weaker now...
When it bounces, I will short it.
AUDCAD: simple, I want to short it when it goes up in this box. Actually higher than this box.
Gold (& other metals) :
Metals are all following the same path. I will just look at gold in this idea which is the "leader".
Go in TV chat, there are not as many bulls on Gold, they were calling for 1400 a few weeks ago. No more.
But some people still think it goes up. This is perfectly normal as we have not yet started wave 5. When wave 5 will be well established, price will be maybe 1140 say, go check reddit or something (has to be "noobish" enough). It should be full of bears.
But, let me show you how perfectly fibo levels have been respected.
1rst the large count:
Then I look at the subwaves of (1):
Next subwaves of (3):
Wait for fib to be reached (0.618) and see how it reacts looking at lower timeframes.
US Stocks :
There is much uncertainty. I just prefer not touching these for a few months. I believe they will keep going up, but with weakness, and then brace yourselves for the crash of the century.
Nasdaq and S&P are much stronger than DJI, if they continue to be, if they continue to be when the Dow goes to 30k/35k (assuming it does), then their downside will
be much more brutal, and I will be sure to short them, both short term (day trade violent resistance rejections and panic dumps) & keep some position trades probably.
But for the next few months, I think it is best to stay away, there are plenty other things to trade, crypto (meh), metals, soft commodities, Oil (meh), Bonds (idk why not many brokers offer this actually one of my brokers might offer bonds I have to check later), Forex of course.
It will be a while before I look at EU ASIA stocks, if ever.
CryptoPonzi :
Nothing new going on as usual. Stay tuned for more nothing next week.
The most losses I had in a row I think was 5, and the most wins in a row a dozen. Can I beat either record? :)

XRP chart analysisXRP USD analysis (Ripple) is carried out based on its 1 hour time frame. Price action forming an inverted head and shoulders between August 11, 2018 and August 16, 2018 confirmed when price closed above the neckline (~$0.30) of the pattern.
coinanalyst.investments
Price action following movement out of the previous bullish pattern is contained inside of a descending triangle pattern which is ideally bearish. ~$0.34 is the point of invalidation (POI) of the chart pattern (descending triangle).
This could result in continuation of the current bullish price swing from ~$0.25, which is used as the head (H) of the inverted Head and shoulders (or head and shoulders bottom). On the other hand, price closing below ~$0.32 means that more selling should follow as the bearish implication of the descending triangle would have confirmed.
USD JPY analysis: 3 crucial info. to keep in mind. USD JPY analysis from September 10, 2017 to current date is carried out on a 4 hour time frame. Analysis and commentary is provided below based on the numbers indicated on the chart.
(1) The main trendline (in color red) of the USDJPY starting from January 26, 2016 (not shown here). The only pivot for price that meets with the bearish trendline shown here is ~113.053. Price proceeding to close above the trendline could result in a rally in the USDJPY. Price close above ~113.144 implies resumption of bullish trend from ~104.588.
(2) The bullish price channel in the USDJPY that contains price swing from ~104.588 to 113.144. Price broke out of the channel on the July 26, 2018, and the meandering price action of the USDJPY as captured in a bear channel in (3) implies a possible change in the trend.
A price close above ~112.278 would see price vacate the bear channel and price high made on August 1, 2018, which could be used as an earlier entry point into a bullish move than price high of ~113.144.
USDCHF bearish chart pattern:4 hr tfThe 4hr timeframe of the USDCHF is shown in this analysis from ~February 26, 2018 till present date. The June 14 till August 21, 2018 saw the USDCHF form a complex head and shoulders top pattern (ideally bearish).
Point of invalidation is when price action closes above the head (H) of the pattern which is ~1.00691. Projection of the termination point of the bearish move anticipated is ~0.96636.
This is achieved by taking the width of the pattern as the vertical distance between the head (H) and the neckline and projecting below the neckline.
Bitcoin price analysis: 3 Things You Must KnowThe numbers marked on the chart for 4 hour timeframe of Bitcoin (BTCUSD) are discussed in the commentary below.
(1) Current (active) bullish price channel in Bitcoin ever since August 14, 2018. The channel also incorporates part of the head (H) and right shoulder (RS) of an inverted head and shoulders (or head and shoulders bottom) formation as indicated on the chart.
Price moving along the channel could possibly see a test of the bottom of the channel at ~$6,382.40 before bullish momentum resumes.
(2) ~$6,632.50 marks the confirmation of the inverted head and shoulders bottom. The point of invalidation after confirmation of the pattern is a close below $5,866.70; the price low of the head (H).
(3) The relative strength index (RSI) as shown here indicates that the current bullish momentum is almost running out, and it is therefore best to wait for further development in price action before initiating any long (buy) position(s).
The level is passedThe price has been able to overcome the mark of 6600 and for the moment, this level has become a support level. Most technical indicators point to a sale.
We assume that the price will be corrected to our level, moving to the mark of 6800. T0herefore we advise to look for points for entering long positions after the completion of correctional movement.

We are waiting for the continuation of the trendThe pair is heading downward once again, having reflected from the level of 1.1440. We believe that the level 1.1310 will be tested again soon. Currently the pair has found a support there. Stochastic has not yet left the overbought zone, but it already crosses.
MACD is still in the negative zone, and we can expect that the pair will continue its downward movement, so we recommend looking for points to enter short positions. Our goal is at the level of 1.1310 where we set the Take Profit.
Ethereum Classic (ETCUSD): 3 crucial info. to keep in mindCommentary on Ethereum Classic (ETCUSD) is provided below based on the numbers indicated on the 1 hour timeframe chart.
(1) Bearish trendline in Ethereum Classic (ETCUSD). ~$19.56 is the price level identified in this analysis that needs to be monitored for a breakout to the upside for very conservative entry long (buy) positions.
(2) Current bullish price channel in Ethereum Classic with ~$16.58 and $13.36 marking the upper and lower boundary of the channel respectively. Return of price back to the upper boundary, and a breakout to the upside can be expected to reach the main bearish trendline i.e. (1) above.
(3) The Average Directional Index (ADX) as shown here has a negative slope and implies a trendless (sideways) movement in price. +DI (green color) is however on top of –DI (red color), with a +ve rising, slope which indicates possibly more bullish action for Ethereum Classic. ADX turning upwards will confirm the previous statement/observation.
BTC/USD - The Level To Watch!During the down move there has been many levels where we have watched for corrections, up moves, down moves, and so on. But, there is probably none AS important as the current support zone outlined in my chart. As you all saw in my last analysis, I have outlined the same support, and a lower side-wards support line where price will likely bounce for the up move (See related ideas below for more information on this analysis). This support level is so important... why? It's the level where price bounced before the rally that began the entire hype on Bitcoin, everything that Bitcoin became, Bitcoin becoming ubiquitous, all started at the support level we're now at. It's a level I recommend everyone watches extremely closely as it's the level which will tell us whether bitcoin will survive the downtrend or not. Breaking below this (Especially also breaking below the side-wards line slightly lower) shows a massive defiance of a support that WOULD hold if the value was behind it... If it fails, the fundamental value is therefore LOWER. How can I be sure of this? It does NOT take 8 months for an asset (In this case bitcoin) to fall to it's fundamental value... So, breaking it would show it's value is below the support level 100 percent, and only ETF would change that.
The above may seem pessimistic, that's because it actually is. HOWEVER, I don't actually really see bitcoin breaking the horizontal support zone and especially the side-wards support line slightly below. I am hoping bitcoin stays above the support where we could get an excellent up move! Today is looking weak, but I am hoping that bulls come in after the weekend and keep the sustained and constant buying bitcoin needs as I always say in my analysis.
Anyway, previous analysis going perfectly to plan so far, and hoping support holds. Watch this chart VERY carefully, I've tried my best to tell you all how important this support zone is... So stay vigilant!

EURUSD. Possible Mid-Term Map of Wave 2 CorrectionThe main FX pair could have finished the first leg A of wave (2) to retrace the first impulsive wave to the upside.
This flat correction could fit in the range between 1.07 and 1.23 therefore a lot of good trading opportunities will appear.
It could take more than one year to unfold waves B and C.
Testing new levelsThe US dollar continues its rally and our pair is finding new levels of support. On the senior chart, we observe the continuation of the downtrend and therefore we expect its continuation on the 4-hour chart.
At the moment, the pair has slowed at the level of 1.27 and so far is above this mark. Technical indicators point to a sale, and the price is pressed against the lower boundary of the Bollinger bands.
Therefore, we advise you to wait for the signal and look for points to enter short positions after breaking of the level of 1.27
