Well, he crypto options market is experiencing a surge in growth, driven by increasing adoption and maturation. Key trends include short-term turbulence versus long-term growth, with a focus on short volatility on elections and long positions on new all-time highs by the end of the year. Whale Activity Whales are taking a protectionist approach, with a focus on...
Let me share my observations on Bitcoin, starting with the obvious. On the 4-hour chart, any trader with more than a week of experience can see that Bitcoin is moving in a widening descending channel. To put it simply, the price action is forming a "trail" that fits perfectly within this channel. Over the past few days, prices have been "testing" the...
Negative option flows were found for two metals at the same time: silver and copper. Portfolios that want prices to fall appeared at the same time as the market is growing, which is interesting. The positions are quite large, but they cannot be called "Insider positions", so we will be careful with forecasts. Of course, we need chart confirmation that...
The euro is looking good for bulls right now. It's hit those liquid levels twice now and broken through them. The way it's crossed those levels, №1 and №2, is a sign of growth, at least for the short term. But I can't do not noticing that the options market is putting in a drop in quotes and buying PUTS out- of- the money in this case. For instance, on Friday...
Platinum's insider was discovered! He was last seen at it on March 7th of this year, and platinum prices have jumped by 20% since then! Now, his target price is between $1100 and $1200 , representing a greater than 20% increase. There's some significant momentum going on there. We are keeping a close eye on it.
We are watching the price closely to see if it stays stable. If it falls below 22 Aug bears candles (see on the chart) and stays there, it could be a problem. For now, I'm being cautious even though things seem positive overall and even too positive especially in option market.
Guys, don't get me wrong, but it's like they knock out the bears before going down. The sentiment indicators we're looking at agree with that. In particular, yesterday, with the rise in quotes, some participants are actively draining call options in-the-money with about 15 trading days ahead. In other words, they just cut the profits and didn't wait. Take a look...
Hey everyone! We've got some data from the CME Exchange for August 13th. We're looking at option sentiment, which is meant to fall quotes in the 0.63 area within 30-40 days (the option portfolio's shown in the screenshot). It makes sense because there's a lot of bearish liquidity in that area, as confirmed by the price action there.But keep in mind that retail...
The Japanese yen option market bet on Straddle. A "Straddle" is a type of options strategy that aims to profit from market volatility regardless of the direction of price movement. In simpler terms, a Straddle involves buying both a call and put option with the same strike price, creating a neutral position. This type of strategy can generate profits if the...

So, gold quotes have hit the 'liquidity zone', where buyers trading the 'Engulfing' pattern are lurking, and we're seeing a breakout of the local high (on lower timeframes). You know the mantra: the market is always hunting for liquidity. Here's a textbook example. These zones have a solid predictive sentiment. If the quotes continue to 'chop' within a narrow...
There's a pretty big reason to talk about the forecast for the yen's exchange rate. It's because of that big option trade that happened yesterday on the CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange). These kind of transactions don't happen often with the yen, and this was the biggest one of the year so far. Here's a chart of the nearest yen futures. It shows where the quotes...
Silver has hit a support level and might even try to rebound a bit, but considering all the factors, like the recent COT report and retail traders activity, there's no way it's going to have any serious growth. Plus, that 25-strike put that had a lot of trading in the options market is still out there and it also suggests that it could keep getting weaker.
3 out of 5 indicators are bullish, also the dollar index is showing signs of weakness which is good for the euro: 1 indicator - the latest COT report 2 indicator - retail trades 3 indicator - option flow sentiment However, since we're seeing a narrow range, there's a chance that the euro might have a false breakout before it moves higher.
If we break through that support level, we'll probably head down to 28.5 or even lower. And the retail sentiment is also in line with this scenario. At the moment, most are long, and short positions are starting to shrink (check out the chart). Guys, who else sees the same level of support as us? And why? Let's discuss it
In the early days of exchange trading, there was no technical possibility to visualize market quote movements, and traders analyzed ticker tapes. The real hype and massive interest in exchange speculation owe it to the technical possibility of displaying exchange information in the form of charts with ticks, bars, candles, and other more exotic ways of displaying...

I'm about to say the obvious: Silver doesn't want to rally. It teases the bulls, reaching levels where they can finally breathe a sigh of relief, only to slide back down. Let me illustrate this on the chart. Imagine you're looking at the chart on June 06, and there's nothing to the right (just cover it up with your hand or a piece of paper). You see a big...
