Chart Patterns

NQ UpdateWell, I was right yesterday, turned out to be a pump and dump on CPI numbers this morning. However, NQ gap did not completely fill, and we still have the Supreme Court ruling on tariffs coming eventually. Until both happen, I'm not really planning on shorting anything. Not gonna make the same mistake as last week, only holding PCAR (Jan) calls because it looks like it's gonna break out. Small position in Feb UAA calls as a tariff bet. Funny thing is, I was trying to dump my PCAR calls on the morning gap up, but the algos wouldn't give me any premium so I decided to hold and it went up in the afternoon. It was originally meant to be a gap fill play yesterday (it gapped down on open yesterday). Anyways, pay attention to chart patterns and only bet on stuff you're bullish on regardless of the tariff stuff. Market might just whipsaw sideways until the ruling comes out. I don't see a tank happening. Even if the algos sell of futures, I think the market just buys the dip like this afternoon. Speaking of which, NQ MFI will probably hit oversold tomorrow anyways. Which means buy of course.

GAME ON? Bullish Ascending Triangle VS Unresolved Bearish H&SFor the past two and a half months, Bitcoin has been going nowhere, coiling sideways with an upside bias in what appears to be a bullish ascending triangle pattern. Today's 3% + rally is edging ever closer to breaking out above the triangle's flat upper boundary. A successful conclusion to such a bullish break should vault Bitcoin up toward the noted target at 109,071, which is in close confluence with the 61.8% fib retracement of the entire decline from last year's all-time high. In the way, is the fib 38.2% retracement level, which may act as a resistance level at 98k. Also fighting against the potential bullish push are three unresolved downside price targets: 79,495, 76,100, and 71,580. Failure to launch after a breakout and retest of the horizontal upper boundary of the ascending triangle, any subsequent breach of the rising lower boundary, depending on the point in time and place at which price may breach that line, and an additional downside price target will fall smack dab in the belly of the standing downside price target window. It's not game time yet, but it's getting close. Where will you be placing your bets?

Katy AI Predicts Massive C Rally! Don’t Miss the Pre-Earnings C Earnings Signal | 2026-01-13 📊 TRADE DETAILS 📊 🎯 Instrument: C 🔀 Direction: CALL (LONG) 🎯 Strike: 117.00 💵 Entry Price: 2.13 🎯 Profit Target: 3.20 🛑 Stop Loss: 1.28 📅 Expiry: 2026-01-16 📏 Size: 3.5 📈 Confidence: 75% ⏰ Entry Timing: N/A 🕒 Signal Time: 2026-01-13 13:44:20 EST 🎯 TRADE RECOMMENDATION Direction: BUY CALLS Confidence: 75% Conviction Level: HIGH Citigroup has a 100% earnings beat rate over the last 4 quarters. Strong fundamentals: revenue growth of 21,129M. Institutional flow is neutral-to-bullish. Timing: Enter pre-earnings close to capture run-up profits. Risk Notes: Medium risk due to rising VIX (15.94) and macro news. Consider partial profits if price hits $119.50 before earnings. ⚠️ KATY CONFLICT EXPLANATION While the Katy AI summary is "NEUTRAL," the Directional Guidance score is a high +3.2 (Bullish). This override is justified by the provided Katy AI Full Time Series data, which explicitly projects a price move toward $123.47. The "Neutral" summary likely reflects the localized 5-minute volatility, but the aggregate time-series trajectory is decisively bullish. 🚨 IMPORTANT NOTES Monitor the 15:00 - 16:00 window today; if the price breaches $119.50 early, consider taking partial profits on Target 1 before the earnings announcement. Financial sector earnings often trigger "sell the news" events; the 3-day expiry mandates a disciplined exit at Target 1 or Target 2.

Is The BTC Bitcoin MONSTER Trade Setting Up? My Trade Plan.🔥 Is Bitcoin’s Next Big Move Starting Right Now? Another close look at Bitcoin today 👀📊 — and we’re seeing the move we discussed in yesterday’s video starting to play out. After yesterday’s aggressive volatility ⚡, price has now delivered the break of structure we were watching for. On the 30-minute chart, the market is printing a clear higher high and higher low sequence 📈 — a constructive sign for bullish continuation. Price is also holding above the Point of Control and value area on the volume profile 🧠📉, which adds further strength to the current structure. If we stay patient and continue to build positions strategically, as outlined in recent videos, this setup has the potential to develop into something much larger 🚀. Especially if Bitcoin transitions into a higher-timeframe bullish trend — potentially even a broader trend reversal. That said, it’s still early days ⏳. We don’t assume — we wait for confirmation. What I’m watching next is a clean break above the previous highs, followed by strong support on the retest 🔁. A successful break and hold above that level would open the door for another high-quality Buy opportunity ✅📈. Let’s see how price behaves from here. ⚠️ Not financial advice. Always manage risk.

BTCUSD Blueprint | Bull trap or Liquidity grab to short?Hello traders, CRYPTOCAP:BTC swept the ~$90,178 low confirming a clean sell-side liquidity grab. This move alone does not flip higher-timeframe bias. We have been stuck in this triangle forever now. The zone around ~$92K–$94K represents buy-side liquidity above recent highs. For a higher-probability short, I want to see price first sweep liquidity (~$92,231 high or ~$93,720 high) or even deeper into the supply area. Afterwards, and when the market structure shifts bearish I will look to short targeting the 4H CME price gap that has not been filled yet. If price broke $94k (break + retest structure), it will be going to $100-105k range. Which will align with my bull trap thesis from Nov. 2025. Overall I'm still bearish. Its just about when are going to short the market? Good Luck! Please support this idea by dropping a like. Also, share your thoughts below

Buy gold on dips Gold Price Analysis and Trading Strategy I. Core Market Assessment Gold surged to a new all-time high during Monday's Asian session, peaking near $4,600. The market is currently exhibiting a strong unilateral bullish trend, with a clear upward direction. Any retracement should be viewed as an opportunity to establish long positions. II. Core Driving Factors Safe-Haven Demand Dominates: Escalating geopolitical risks in the Middle East (Iran tensions) have significantly boosted safe-haven demand, driving continuous capital inflows into gold. Macro Policy Support: Persistent market expectations of a Fed rate cut within the year form the underlying logic for gold's long-term upward trajectory. III. Technical Analysis Highlights Trend: Confirmed breakout above the previous high of $4,550, signaling the start of a new upward wave. Key Levels: Support Zone: $4,580–$4,560 (primary support), $4,550 (critical support post-breakout, ideal entry zone for trend-following long positions). Resistance/Targets: $4,630–$4,650 (short-term resistance), medium-term targets pointing to $4,700–$4,800. Market Structure: Bullish characteristics are evident. Retracements during the uptrend are typically brief, representing technical consolidation rather than trend reversal. IV. Specific Trading Strategy Primary Strategy: Follow the trend by buying on dips, with cautious participation in short-term pullback shorts. Long Strategy (Primary Direction) Ideal Entry Zone: Patiently wait for prices to retrace to the $4,560–$4,580 range to start building long positions in batches. A pullback near $4,550 presents an even more favorable opportunity to add positions. Stop Loss Setting: Place stop losses for long positions below $4,540. Target Outlook: Short-term target at $4,630–$4,650; medium-term holding target at $4,700–$4,800. Short Strategy (Supplementary, Short-Term) Limited to Short-Term Opportunities: Consider light short-term short positions only when prices rapidly rally to the $4,630–$4,650 strong resistance zone and show clear signs of stagnation or reversal candlestick patterns. Discipline Required: Execute with quick entries and exits, strictly set stop losses above $4,660, and treat this only as a counter-trend波段 operation. Position Management Recommendations Maintain a core position of trend-following long holdings. Utilize retracement opportunities to add positions incrementally near key support levels. Avoid chasing rallies during strong upward moves; patiently wait for the market to offer better entry prices. V. Risk Warnings and Focus Areas Closely monitor U.S. CPI data. If inflation figures significantly exceed expectations, they may temporarily dampen rate-cut expectations and trigger a gold price adjustment. Stay alert to developments in geopolitical events and unexpected news that could impact the market. In a clear bull market, the core principles are "holding long positions" and "buying on dips," rather than attempting to predict the top. Trading requires strict discipline and proper stop-loss management. Conclusion: The bullish structure for gold remains solid, and the strategy should align with the trend. The current focus is to seize opportunities to buy on dips within the key support zone ($4,560–$4,550) in preparation for potential further upward movements.
