One of my favorite setups that I found through Oliver Velez is called the Violence into 200. It is one of my go to bread and butters when it happens. Below I will explain what to look for and how to play it Step One: Look for space between the 21ema and the 200sma which indicates a contraction back to the mean. The 21ema will be declining. Don't try to buy a...
Using the teal line as the mean, every time price moves roughly 650 ticks above the mean, it snaps back. We are pushing off the mean now and I believe will continue bullish up to 40,500 which is roughly 650 ticks above the mean. Monday I expect a bullish continuation higher. After the move is complete, I will be looking for the revert back to the mean. I don't...
The Hourly Chart's 200sma is the same as the Daily Chart's 21ema Price is mean reverting back and forth between the mean Price is above the Hourly 200sma/ Daily 21ema, Bullish Price does not respect the Hourly 21ema and trades back and forth between it. The Hourly 21ema is the same as the 5 Minute's 200sma The 5 Minute mean reverting back and forth above...
Upon further investigation, I have concluded that the current bull trend is similar to the bull trend number 2 from 1942-1965. Both trends are showing a rather flat 43 degrees up movement. A slow and steady trend. It is not as steep as the dot com bull run with its 53 degrees. Bull trend appreciated 970% over the course of 286 months. Using the same criteria...
A couple of pieces of information that I think will cause a sell off down to 39,150 A declining Hourly 21ema A gap at 39,150 A rising 200sma that has been poked through last two times Ramped volume from the FOMC 600 ticks seems really excessive for one session. Maybe two sessions. Do I go for the throat and hold for a massive trade or do I take the base hit...
The market only moves from narrow to wide states and repeats. Currently, the market is in state 4 out of the 5 states. State 1: Narrow state before the move higher ( Narrow ) State 2: The trending move higher ( Trending ) State 3: The expanded move away from the mean ( Wide ) State 4: The reversion back down to the mean ( Trending ) State...
I need to get better at 1. Identifying what state the market is in 2. What number 1-5 in the cycle it is in 3. Avoiding numbers 1,3,5 4. Only trading in cycles 2 and 4 The market only goes between narrow states and wide states My strategy is the 21ema and the 200sma I use the 5 minute, the 15 minute and the 1 hour timeframe for Intra Day Trading I tend...
Looking at the week ahead on the hourly chart, the first thing I notice is that the hourly 21ema is now trending down and declining. The hourly 200sma looks to remain flat and a cross is set to happen later in the week. I am looking for a pullback into the declining 21ema, whether it stalls right at it or pops above it by a little bit. I see two spots on the...
The 1 hour time frame on the ETH chart is identical to the 15 minute chart on the RTH session chart. I prefer the RTH session chart due to the cleanliness of the price action. 15 Minute RTH 1 Hour ETH
I see the start of a down move over the course of the next 6-8 weeks to drift down to the bottom of the range in order to achieve a couple of objectives. 1. Fill the Gap from January 19th 2. Hit all the stops from Longs along the way 3. Hit the 1X range expansion of the High/Low from Feb 23rd- Mar 5th I am bullish over the next decade but right now it looks...
I have been getting my behind kicked the last two months due to this range bound market. Something that I just now noticed is that on the hourly, the 21ema (purple line) is the same exact average as the 5 minute's 200sma. They are one and the same. Since price is not respecting the hourly's 21ema, then logically, it will not respect the 5 minute's 200sma and...
Just like January 19th how price closed above the 21ema after a couple of down/sideways days, it went on to continue the bull trend. Today did the same thing. Closed above the 21 after a couple of down/sideways days. After placing a trendline at the exact 50% mark of today, I believe price should stay above it and the 21ema IF the bullish trend is to...
Friday's close has given me clues as to what is likely to happen. Using only the 5 minute chart, I have come up with my gameplan on how to attack Monday. I expect it to be choppy and will wait until a pullback into my strike zone.
I see two gaps that need to be filled. Will they get filled? I don't know. I am leaning bullish. I can see the market bumping up against the 200sma one more time before falling down to fill the gap on the bottom. Then a bullish climb higher to fill the gap higher? Or perhaps it doesn't fill the gap on the upside yet on Friday and will wait for Monday or Tuesday?...
I found an interesting pattern that has happened 3 times so far. A sell off day A gap up and fill A second gap up and fill. Sometimes doesn't fill, just continues bullish First Pattern Second Pattern Third Pattern This could mean nothing but it was something I felt sharing
Now that Monday has finished trading, I have a better idea of what is likely to happen. Price is looking like it is in a 2 legged pullback to find the next higher low. Price has been inside of a bear flag since the 27th I will be looking for shorts on Tuesday and Wednesday down into major 1 hour support for a new higher low. My stops are always 30-40 ticks...
Doing an analysis on the yearly chart, where every bar formed is 12 months. Each bull run has been in the neighborhood of 1400-2000% gain over the course of 25-33 years. Analyzing the current bull run #4, you can see that we are in year 15 and only up 500%. This tells me that we have 11-18 years left of gains before we hit that magic 1400-2000% gain. The bull...
Using the range expansion of the falling wedge from 2022 pullback, the 1.5 and 2 X range expansions are the first targets. The daily 200sma is now trending up and bullish with the daily bars trending on a rising 21ema. Any and all pullbacks should be buyable.
