DJ30 will Fall to 32200 the Upcoming Week - Part 2 (Volume)In addition to the Fibonnacci assessment in the first chart (linked) which shows that we are on a very important resistance level, this chart deals with volume and momentum. Let's break down what's important:
Comparative volume profiles of the main trends since 2018.
The major trend since March 2020 is broken into 2, separated by the market fall in July last year. This is because the fall I am anticipating pertains to the latter trend first, so it's better to analyze it in separation.
RSI shows the momentum and approach of the tipping point.
As one can see in the volume profiles, the circled bars are the ones outside the Value Area (70% of tradings volume of the trend). This shows we are in an unfair price already since a while. In addition, they indicate relatively very low volumes amid the uptrend. This was always the behavior before the end of the trend. The POC, indicated by the red line shows the major support level. For the trend since last July, this is around 32200, which confirms my estimation in part 1 through Fibonnacci and trend lines. The POC of the major trend starting from March 2020 (not shown in the chart) is also around the same number, The very last volume profile on the right (very tiny), isolates the past few weeks showing that even in a small time frame, the bull of the last five weeks, at least, is unsustainable.
RSI, on its part, shows historically how this market is sensitive to overbuying. As soon as we passed 70 mark since end of 2018, the market always rebounded back. We are around the same level now.
FInally, Bollinger Bands are widening, which is an indicator of volatility to come soon.
History
Epistemology of Technical AnalysisHow does the reliability of technical analysis relate to our understanding of it as a total population?
Epistemology is a branch of philosophy that examines the nature of knowledge -- its presuppositions and foundations, and its extent and validity. The word epistemology is derived from the ancient Greek epistēmē, meaning "knowledge", and the suffix -logia, meaning "logical discourse." Epistemologists study the nature, origin, and scope of knowledge. Simply stated, epistemology is "meaning-making."
Epistemology presupposes metaphysics. People tend to think of psychology as being the foundation for technical analysis , often without realizing that psychology arises out of, or is a subset of, philosophy. In other words, psychology is "a posteriori" to philosophy. Historically, psychology arose in order to include the empirical method when examining the metaphysical questions posed by philosophy. It has since brought various topics of study to the field of psychology, such as sensation, perception, intelligence, and memory.
At first glance, the relationship between philosophy and psychology seems to have a dualistic nature, and is reciprocal: Modern-day science believes that the "phyisical" (psychology) -- a brain -- creates the metaphyisical, and that the metaphysical (philosophy) -- a thought -- allows us to understand the physical. Phillosophers argue, however, that "no account of knowledge can proceed without assuming that we already have some sample or example of it, or of the way the world works;" If we already know something, then we already have some insight into reality. Similarly, no account of trading analytics can proceed successfully, according to presupposed rules, without some concensus to those rules.
My definition of technical analysis: A concensual set of rules for how to react to market stimuli. We can call TA a language, and it has rules akin to any other language. When we communicate through language, we operate by utilizing a concensual set of rules by which to respond to vocal stimuli. If two people try to communicate an idea to each other via divergent languages, the efficacy of communication is vastly diminished; consequently, if the market is being influenced by people who both DO know and DO NOT know technical analysis, the reliablity of our predictions for market trends is also vastly diminished.
I would argue that the implications of this are stronger this market cycle than ever before, due to the exponential rise in new traders unfamiliar with technical analysis , and that this offset in reliability is proportional to the total trading volume they supply to the market. At the same rate, "whales" who hold the largest crypto bags are likely to be the most familiar with TA, or have those working for them who are adept at TA, and therefore have a significant oppositional influence to those people aforementioned. It makes you wonder how many people have given their economic stimuli to the power elite already bankrolling with their COVID-era monopolies.
Stay safe out there. This is the most risky moment in the history of crypto for those of us with very little we can afford to lose.
Battle of Historical TrendsTaking another view at NSDQ100 to support my previous linked ideas, now I look at the daily chart with a broader range, lest we miss the forest for the trees.
The zoomed-out daily chart provides important insight about the most powerful trend lines and there prominence, transformation, and demise. It is more suitable for longer-term outlooks, but it may also be useful for the few weeks to come, as I will show here.
There are 3 main trends here:
Blue: Started in 2016 and was historically the prominent resistance until 2018 and was denied in 2020 due to the premature market crash year and now is the main support.
Purple: Started in 2019 and has been the main resistance for the post-covid19 surge. It's prominence ended with the last correction this year.
Red: Started in 2020 and has been the main support of the post-covid19 surge. Now, it's the main resistance.
The main take away here is that the main trend of the post-covid19 surge, the purple one, started before COVID-19, which means that the fast growth was actually a resumption rather than a reaction. Yet, the purple trend itself started as a catch-up of the correction in 2019, and would have stopped, most probably, by the blue resistance had COVID-19 not happened. If that's correct, it would indicate all that is above the blue line as an over-buy that would demand correction at one point.
Employing a Fib Resistance Fan for each of the 2 lasting trends, however, suggests that we are in a middle ground. The dark red triangle formed by the intersection of both normal zones of the 2 fans is the Fibonnacci area with the least friction. As you can see, there is no room to follow the red resistance any more, so the red trend line would follow the purple one into oblivion. Meanwhile, the blue line coincides with the Fibonnacci support, which further confirms its prominence.
Based on this, I expect a fall soon to the blue support line (which is also at this point the lower Bollinger Band of the weekly chart) and then rise again.
Decaying Overbuying for BTC Signals an Eventual Bearish TurnAs I expected before in a previous idea a couple of months ago, BTC and Co were heading to a flattened curve after the incredible gains and broken records in the past months. It came as no surprise to me because I am an avid follower of the 1W chart, which, for BTC, I believe is the most important one. The thing is that when gains are so high and so rapid, charts of more detailed views lose their significance. Still, the 1W chart is usually overlooked even by longtermers.
So what is so significant about BTC's 1W chart? It is the range of history it shows that allows accessible comparative analysis, and that's what I am referring to in this idea.
In this chart, we can see 3 spikes of growth (bullish markets), 2018, 2019, and the latest in 2021. Both of the first 2 were followed by a short bearish market, and in both, even if it's not shown in the chart, people also thought the prices would never fall, and falling they did to a certain level of support as the lowest point of the bearish market, which was always the lower Bollinger Band of the 1W chart . Looking closer at the RSI graph, we can spot the similarity between the second bullish rally and the current one: both being of the decaying type when it comes to overbuying. The first rally in 2018, on the other hand, had an oscillating period of overbuying. So what's the significance of this?
To answer this question, let's check the points bellow comparing the market behavior in both cases when the prices are above the normal range of buying :
* A decaying overbuy means that the momentum of buying is decreasing, even if the prices are increasing significantly. An oscillating one indicates that the momentum is steady.
* Decaying overbuy indicates that the gains will fade gradually, like it did this week, after several previous corrections which were increasing in magnitude and frequency. For an oscillating one, the corrections usually come in fixed intervals and with similar magnitudes.
* For an oscillating overbuy, prices can decrease abruptly when the bullish market is over. For the decaying one, the drop will probably happen after flattening out in the medium range.
* Peak of volume is more or less periodic for the oscillating overbuy, usually increasing at the last breath of the bullish market. For the decaying one, the peak is long before the last breath of the bull. For the current market, the peak was in the beginning of 2021.
Now that we know the difference, it is evident that the decaying overbuy is a clearer signal. Nevertheless, greed and optimism blind us from what's obvious, that is the current correction.
How about the future then? In the long run, BTC will regain its value and reach more peaks until it doesn't matter anymore and the competition increases with other coins. As for the near future, I am positive that the price will go more negative, probably after flattening a bit . The thing is that the market is losing confidence in BTC as a growth asset, and it's difficult to see momentum building up in a sustainable way in the short term. This would require a fresh bullish market drive, and I am not talking here only about Crypto.
For the cycle to complete, the lower band will be hit eventually, but as it stands at 20000, it is very low, so it won't happen very soon. My prediction is that it would happen when the band nears 38000.
Evolution of Trading💯From Rome to the world📈
Trading originated on the fragments of the Holy Roman Empire, between the inhabitants of European states, connected by sea and land. The old Roman tradition of gathering in designated areas to exchange news, orders and customer bases has spawned markets and fairs. In the 13th century, enterprising Italians invented promissory notes, which, due to the convenience and safety of moving large sums, soon spread throughout Europe, and by the 18th century they reached Russia. Joint stock companies, such as the East India Company, began to write trusts for various goods...
But we are already getting ahead of ourselves. So, the exchanges.
Holland, but not that🙋🏻♂️
Imagine: XVI century, Holland. No legal drugs, the Red Light District isn't open yet. Crossing trade routes. Foreign merchants travel around the cities, astonishing the locals with a variety of goods. Here you can find coffee, tobacco, furs, silks, overseas wines, and precious stones... The Dutch run up their eyes, they want to trade, but money is not always available at the right time and in the right amount. Their main product is tree and tulip bulbs. This is where promissory note come to the rescue. I bought a promissory note for spices from a Greek, sold it to a Briton for real money, or for a stock in a tea company. Residents of trading cities, of course, understand that providing merchants with places to trade is quite a profitable business... This is an opportunity to keep abreast of the most profitable deals, these are useful acquaintances. And a certain profit.
A merchant from Bruges⚖️
An entrepreneur from the city of Bruges, by the name of van der Bursa, opened a hotel for merchants, in the premises of which he organized all the comfortable conditions (safes, meeting rooms, coffee time) for trading. From which he had quite a decent income. Remarkably, his family crest was the image of three leather bags. From the surname Bursa, meaning "leather bag" or "purse", presumably the name "beurs" arose. After a while, the shop moved to the city of Antwerp (already without Mr. van der Bursa), where in 1531 it acquired an official status. The Antwerp Stock Exchange was housed in a new building specially built for the occasion, with an inscription above the entrance to which the following was written:
"For merchants of all countries and nations!"
The Tulip Crash🌷
In 1612, due to a difficult political situation, the Antwerp Stock Exchange moved to Amsterdam (Why are you smiling? Hashish bars were opened much later). It was then that the East and West Indian joint stock companies came into play, things went uphill. Holland began to make money on flowers, specifically and powerfully, shares of tulip bulbs soared in price... Now experienced traders have to guess what happened next. Yes Yes. Yes! There was a panic in the market, the Amsterdam Stock Exchange, and after it the entire economy of the Netherlands collapsed. Tens of thousands of stock traders suffered losses.

Presidential Stock Market PerformanceEvery day it seems that the media puts out the best of reasons... from the smartest of experts... as to why the stock market and economy is going to CRASH soon! This has gone on for as long as I can remember. Why do they continue to publish this misinformation? Because it get's ATTENTION!
What does history ACTUALLY tell us about stock market performance following Presidential elections with the same political makeup we have today?
Coinbase looking for a Bottom IPO ReleaseClassic initial pump up then a dump down. People are eager to lock in those quick profits! We'll see if we find support around the $300+ area or drop below $300 to find a bottom. I wouldn't be surprised if we get a retest to the IPO all time high of $428 in the coming days or weeks to come.
Coinbase is directly pegged to the success of cryptocurrencies. So fundamentally Coinbase will definitely experience massive growth throughout the decade along with all the innovation that will arise from Coinbase.
This is such historic leap for cryptocurrency adoption and exposure to traditional markets. As well as the United States. I've been using Coinbase for the past 4 years throughout my whole cryptocurrency journey and I'm sure it will only get better.
Cheers everybody! Much peace, love, health, and wealth. HODL that Coinbase stock =D
We live inside the 1st wave of the final 5 of US empire Think of every wave as technological boom and combine it with world history. US is heading toward the end of its empire in the next 30-50 years and ASIA probably will take over. This wave is going to be super fast and progress will be exponential till we reach the peak euphoria somewhere in 2050. VR, self driving, impossible foods, space travel, decentralization, infinite energy & AI.
INSANE correlation between 2017 & 2021 Bitcoin charts!Take a moment to appreciate this beauty ...
The upper chart is 2021's current situation, the lower one is 2017's bullrun.
Pay attention to the brushed drawings on the chart and the respective Fibonacci levels. Pretty much EXACTLY the same !!
>> This suggests we're topping out in short-term at ~63k and going painfully down to the 42k area once again, before continuing with the bullrun.
I've been mind-blown with this. Seriously. Whales pumping or dumping didn't change the game that much after all!
Backtesting works.
Safe tradings, everyone!

Bitcoin Blowoff top on Cinco De Mayo.. compare this to NASDAQI have analyzed the entire history of bitcoin price and I can say with certainty we are experiencing a 2x faster cycle than the one we had in 2017.
This will end with a blowoff top in May followed by a 2-3 month bear market.
I've analyzed 100 years of NASDAQ and DJIA charts, and compared them to every tiny mini cycle bitcoin has had, as well as the long term Bitcoin chart as seen here. I can also speculate that the Bitcoin chart from 2009 - 2021 is about 60% of the way through a bigger cycle that should end with a blowoff top in approximately 2030.
If you have doubts feel free to discuss, but this is a very big deal.
Largest Transfer of Wealth in Bitcoin HistoryToday was a first we have seen an over $7,000 candle drop be bought up and engulfed by what appears to be a bullish engulfing candle. Todays event was the biggest transfer of Bitcoin in its history and it did it in under a few hours. Traders watch from this and learn from this. In the coming days it will be revealed who made these purchases and the market will turn on the next leg of this amazing bull run. Lessons for you to remember from this event:
Trading with over leverage can be bad ;)
Holding not freaking out... good
The money always wins. If you didn't pick that up yet I'm not sure you ever will.
BRONSON-TheSHARK
Two Possible Scenario for BTC in my Opinion!1. Triple top shows sign of reversal and lower prices after an uptrend
2.Fib Retracement indicates major resistance at 78% & 61%,
If we break we could see moon shots!
3. Breaking those Fib Levels would also confirm a nice cup of coffee that would send BTC to new highs!
That Cup & Handle can make history but before that, we got to break those resistance level and cancel that triple top !
Let me know what you think!
Maybe BTC is going to repeat its history again!Just look how perfectly rejected from 1.618 level of fib channel as it did at 2017!
Maybe it is going for couple of corrective weeks and 40 to 50 percent correction.
Currently it's Bearish for short term but I will not Short it. I will wait for a good Long opportunity.
