ETHUSD Update: 207 resistance that I reported yesterday clearly held and selling momentum ensued. Bears are still in control for the moment. And with the additional price structure in place, there is more information to consider. Overall, this market is consolidating which is noted by the converging trend lines. No surprise since there is a ton of uncertainty...
ETHUSD Update: Here is an evaluation on the hourly time frame. This time frame is where you can observe emerging price patterns to signal a more refined entry. Also I want to point out some very nice examples to the left of the chart: The higher low (HL) and the subsequent double bottom. These formations appeared within a price area that I labeled "Look for...
LTCUSDT: Been getting a lot of requests for this one, so I am posting an evaluation. Major trend is very clear: Bullish. At the moment, this market is sitting at the swing low of a retracement off the 55 high. This is a low risk area to buy in my opinion. How you evaluate your risk depends on which supports you reference, and the size of your position. The 35...
EURUSD: Major trend is bullish as evidenced by the higher highs and higher lows on the larger time frames, BUT keep in mind, the 1.1450 to 1.1500 area is a MULTI YEAR range resistance (dates back to May 2015), and if not broken, price may drift back toward the middle of the multiyear range (1.08 area). As a price action trader, I evaluate recent price history,...
ETHUSD Update: Whenever there is a dramatic move, the bigger picture will always provide the best perspective. In the case of ETH, this bearish momentum appears to be a very healthy retracement. It is still a Wave 4 in terms of Elliot Wave, which means this market still has a chance of reaching new highs. Let's first address the new low made at 169. This is very...
BTCUSD Update: Short term bearish momentum continues but we are at a level of interest. The in bigger picture, we are still within a large consolidation. This is no surprise and may continue as a result of all the uncertainty around the BIP 148 event on 8/1, but at the moment there is a possible double bottom forming within a support zone. Consolidating markets...
ETHUSD 0.01% Update: Bearish momentum continues on the near term. The break of the 250 to 240 area (red arrow), and continuation of new lows signals a change which is likely to be thrusting this market into a broad consolidation. In order for this market to PROVE that there are any chances of a significant bullish retracement, the 245 resistance level needs to be...
SPX: Do not be fooled by the near term bearish momentum, the major trend that has been pushing this market higher since November is still intact. June 16th was the most recent swing high, and the current peak of the major trend. Since then price has pulled back to the 2410 area, with yesterday being the second time. 2414 is a .382 support from the most recent...
ETHUSD: Price is in a consolidation. Within the context of a broader bullish trend, these are usually continuation patterns. I am still bullish and prefer to buy at supports and hold for a broader target. At the moment this market is showing signs of minor bearish momentum confirmed by the lower highs made at a key resistance area of 273 (This level has been in...
BTCUSD Overview: Without getting into the detail on a 15 minute chart, I want to provide a broader view based on price action with some perspective on wave counts. It is clear that this market is currently in a Wave 4 triangle. You can count 5 subwaves within the formation (I left them out for chart clarity) which means there is a good chance we may be forming the...
ETHUSD Update: The reversal played out from the major support area in the lower 240s that I highlighted in my previous evaluation. It just didn't play out as the "double bottom" formation that I was anticipating. The buying that I was waiting for is back. Price compromised the pivot resistance area which is a clear sign of strength and a signal that price is in...
ETHUSD Update: Major support at 246 area is broken. A sign of continued short term weakness ahead. I am still bullish long term. During these type of corrections within a larger bullish trend, it can be very easy to get sucked into buying too early, especially when very opinionated. One less bearish observation that I can make about the current price action is...
ETHUSD has broken 273 (the .382) support from the major bullish trend on the larger time frame (See large red arrow). The bullish trend is still intact in my opinion, but this support break confirms short term bearish momentum. Situations like these are very conflicting since the larger time frame presents a bullish condition while short term selling weighs on...
Look at this interesting double bottom formation on the 15 minute. This nicely formed reversal pattern came off of an old resistance/new support area of 278 which overlaps with the .382 of the recent upward swing from 205 to 318. Within the context of a major bullish trend, these signs point to continued strength. The most recent minor upward swing is sitting just...
Evaluating the bigger picture (daily) chart of NDX. It appears to be trading within a diagonal triangle or possibly a pennant. To me this is a trend continuation pattern, and the major trend is clearly bullish. Price has just bounced off 5600, which may be the beginning of the 4th leg to complete Wave D. If this pattern stays intact, and price sells off to form...
Trend is bearish. Weekly lows taken out. This opens the way for further selling. Lower risk opportunities can present themselves upon a retracement on a smaller time frame. Will be watching for those, especially deeper retracements. Be aware of the support zone coming up in the 1.1089 - 1.0981 area. If price presents a reversal structure here over the coming...
SPY. Bearish momentum in the S&P has brought price into a potential support that if held, prices can retrace back up to the 199.26 area or higher. On the 30 minute chart it is clear that buying activity that took place around the 15th pushed prices back over 200. Now that we are retesting the prior swing low, buyers may be attracted to such a level for one more...
LNKD price action is now showing potential trading opportunities both long and short. The short scenario: The broader time frame is generally bullish but currently we are facing bearish momentum. This is a healthy retracement since it has not compromised any significant supports so far. Using Elliott Wave, I have counted 4 waves of a bearish impulse. This scenario...
