Visa (V) Buy Signal: 3-Step Rocket Booster StrategyVisa (V) Buy Signal – Daily Trigger + Weekly Pullback + Rocket Booster 🚀💳📈 Visa Inc. (V) NYSE:V is flashing a compelling buy signal, supported by daily price action, weekly momentum readings, and long-term trend confirmation via the Rocket Booster Strategy. Step 1 – Daily Candlestick: Bullish Signal On the daily chart, Visa is showing bullish candlestick formations, including long lower shadows that confirm buyers are stepping in to defend support. This provides the entry trigger. Step 2 – Weekly Oscillators: Sell / Strong Sell The weekly oscillator rating is currently in Sell / Strong Sell territory. This highlights short-term momentum weakness, which in the context of a bigger uptrend often creates an ideal buy-the-dip scenario. Traders can use this temporary pullback as an opportunity to position before momentum flips back upward. Step 3 – Monthly Moving Averages: Rocket Booster Strategy (Strong Buy / Buy) On the monthly timeframe, Visa shows a Strong Buy / Buy rating on moving averages. This is the Rocket Booster Strategy in action: the long-term trend is powerful and acts like a booster, propelling prices higher once short-term weakness fades. The Buy Case for Visa Daily Candlestick → Bullish trigger (buyers defending support) Weekly Oscillator → Pullback offering better entry levels Rocket Booster (Monthly MAs) → Long-term trend remains strongly bullish This multi-timeframe alignment makes Visa a high-probability candidate for further upside. Trade Idea Entry Zone: Near current levels or on dips Stop-Loss: Below recent daily lows Profit Targets: Previous swing highs and psychological resistance levels The combination of a daily entry trigger, weekly pullback, and monthly Rocket Booster creates a textbook buy setup. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This analysis is for educational purposes only and not financial advice.

Charts In 3 Steps-Bitcoin (BTC/USD) Buy Signal – Trend Resumes Bitcoin (BTC/USD) Buy Signal – Trend Resumes After Pullback ₿🚀 Bitcoin is also flashing a buy signal when viewed with the same 3-step system, showing strong confluence across timeframes. Step 1 – Daily Candlestick: Bullish Reversal On the daily chart, Bitcoin has printed a bullish engulfing/rejection candle, suggesting buyers have stepped in aggressively after a recent pullback. This is a strong reversal signal. Step 2 – Weekly Oscillators: Sell / Strong Sell The weekly oscillator rating is showing Sell / Strong Sell. This may appear bearish at first glance, but in the context of Bitcoin’s structural uptrend, it signals a short-term dip that may provide an attractive entry zone before momentum turns bullish again. Step 3 – Monthly Moving Averages: Strong Buy / Buy On the monthly chart, Bitcoin remains firmly in a Strong Buy / Buy rating above its key moving averages. This confirms that the long-term uptrend remains strong, and pullbacks should be treated as buying opportunities. ✅ Daily Candlestick → Bullish reversal ✅ Weekly Oscillator → Temporary weakness offering entry ✅ Monthly MAs → Long-term bullish structure Trade Idea: Traders may look for long entries on confirmation candles, with stops below the daily reversal low. Profit targets could be staged toward recent highs and key psychological levels like $75,000 and beyond. Disney (DIS) Buy Signal – Pullback Creates Opportunity 🎬📈 Disney (DIS) is flashing a fresh buy opportunity backed by multi-timeframe alignment in the 3-step trading system. Step 1 – Daily Candlestick: Bullish Pattern On the daily chart, Disney has printed bullish candlestick signals, including rejection wicks showing buyers defending support levels. This confirms demand is stepping in at lower prices. Step 2 – Weekly Oscillators: Sell / Strong Sell The weekly oscillator rating is in Sell / Strong Sell territory. This reflects short-term momentum weakness, but in the context of a bullish backdrop, this pullback is often the perfect setup for positioning early before momentum swings back upward. Step 3 – Monthly Moving Averages: Strong Buy / Buy On the monthly timeframe, moving averages are firmly in Strong Buy / Buy mode. This confirms that the long-term trend is bullish and the bigger picture supports higher prices ahead. ✅ Daily Candlestick → Bullish trigger ✅ Weekly Oscillator → Short-term weakness = buy-the-dip setup ✅ Monthly MAs → Long-term trend intact and rising Trade Idea: Traders may consider entering on dips with stops below recent daily lows. Potential upside targets include previous resistance zones and long-term highs. ⚠️ Disclaimer: These analyses are for educational purposes only and not financial advice.

However, for aggressive breakout traders, this could present a solid opportunity if we get a confirmed bullish push. If you have any questions or comments, please leave them below.

Bullish Daily Chore Strategy Entry on SilverFirst time I've spoken about this strategy here (as I don't personally trade it myself), but the "Daily Chore" is a very popular one amongst the traders I work with. Essentially what we're looking for is for price action to be on the correct side of our 3 EMA's (8, 20 & 50), and for those EMA's to be running in the correct order. If so, we are then looking for a pullback into the EMA's and for a pin bar rejection candles to give us a sign for entry. This is a very difficult strategy to figure out as it requires a lot of testing and tweaks to optimize, but it also allows for a lot for freedom as it only requires a few minutes a day to check up on. Please leave any questions or comments below and make sure to give me a follow so you don't miss my next shared trading idea. Akil
