Using The Zig-Zag Indicator To Gain Clarity On Your Price ChartIn my experience, learning how to read a price chart, specifically understanding the ebbs and flows of a trend, is the biggest hurdle that newer traders face. At least on the technical side of things.
Something that helped me shorten that learning curve at the beginning of my trading career was the "Zig-Zag" indicator. Now, I didn't use it as part of a strategy or anything like that. Rather, it was a tool that helped train my eyes to read extensions and retracements in the markets both at a beginner and advanced level.
If you're someone that is struggling, hopefully it can do the same for you.

Gold Long: Target $3349I updated the wave structure for Gold and point out that the previous short call plays out perfectly with pinpoint accuracy. Now, we have started a new cycle level wave 5 and we just just completed wave 1 and 2 of a minute level. I proposed how the Gold price will unfold in this primary wave 1 of cycle wave 5.
I propose 2 stops:

USDCAD - Continuation Trading Using Structure, Fibs & VolumeWHAT I'M LOOKING AT
After ending the week with a lower low & a lower close below a recent level of structure support, I'm predicting a potential bearish trend continuation opportunity here on the $USDCAD.
MY PREDICTION
If this prediction is correct I would expect a move down to the $1.35 psychological level (or right around it) as we have a confluence from both our Fibonacci extension & a spike in horizontal volume.
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
To get involved in this move I'll be looking for a a potential retracement/pullback followed by a clear sign of reversal. The 2 price levels that I have on my radar are $1.3750's & $1.3800's

My first recording for ETHUSD - FxDollars - {25/05/2025}Educational Analysis says that ETHUSD may give countertrend opportunities from this range, according to my technical analysis.
Broker - bitstamp
So, my analysis is based on a top-down approach from weekly to trend range to internal trend range.
So my analysis comprises of two structures: 1) Break of structure on weekly range and 2) Trading Range to fill the remaining fair value gap
Let's see what this pair brings to the table for us in the future.
Please check the comment section to see how this turned out.

Gold Short: Completed 5 waves of wave 1 (higher degree)I believe that Gold has completed the 5th wave. Here are the evidence:
1. Drawn out 5-wave structure with breakdowns.
2. Fibonacci measurement: wave 5 is almost equals to wave 1.
3. RSI is lower at the 5th wave compared to 3rd wave although price is higher (price-rsi divergence).
Stop is $3272.
Take Profit is $3285.
Gold Long: Update on Elliott Wave CountsI suggest that we have seen wave 1 of 3 and wave 2 of 3 completion and is now going into a wave 3 of 3 that is expected to break out of the ascending triangle.
The stop loss is now adjusted to 3200 and the most conservative target gives us $3300 even though we are still aiming for >$3500.
Good luck!
Filecoin - Still in accumulationHello everyone, as you know if you follow me, one of the coins I’ve been accumulating for years is FIL. From both a technical and fundamental analysis perspective, I believe it’s the bet with the absolute highest potential in the crypto world. Speaking of my analysis, as you can see, we’re still in an accumulation phase for about 2-3 years now, with a range between $2.3 and $7-10. In recent weeks, we’ve seen a retest of the all-time low, and right now it’s testing the lowest monthly close of the previous cycle. That said, I expect a fairly rapid rise toward $7 soon, with the possibility that it finally breaks out of the range and starts running toward the previous ATH at $230. In any case, the risk/reward is truly excellent, probably the best in the entire crypto market. Thanks to everyone for your attention, and I hope the video is helpful for your analyses.
Bitcoin Long: Wave 3 of 3 of 3; Target $148,000I've previously called to be neutral of Bitcoin after identifying a wave 5 up on 11th May. Now, I believe that it is once again time to long Bitcoin as I am expecting a wave 3 of 3 of 3 up.
The stop loss should be generous at $100,500 if you can afford it.
The price target if wave 3 = wave 1 is $130,000; The price target if wave 3 = 1.618x Wave 1 is $148,000.
Good luck!
ETHUSD Long: Start of Wave 3 UpAs I explained the wave counts for Ethereum, I believe that we have seen the end of a wave 2 correction and the next wave should be a wave 3 up.
I presented the breakdown of the down move using both Elliott Waves and Fibonacci extension.
As mentioned, the stop loss should be below wave C low or if you can stomach more risk, below the low of previous wave 4. The price target is >$3800.
Good luck!
