Gold XAUUSD Creating a flag formation with two strikes on the lower parallel signifying it's still wanted whilst above 1286, so am buying as close to 1287.78 as possible with stop under 1286. First target 1305, then 1312-1313.
ETHUSD Potential Trade Set-Ups Pretty dull still here. It's not giving up without a fight but not a range we need to be involved in right now. Maybe if it breaks the upper dynamic holding back all rallies so far, but it looks like running into overhead supply at 477 so if you follow this break, should we see it, look to close out here and only enter long...
BCHUSD BCH Dollar Risk and Reward Approaches Consolidating gains above old structure - really strong looking and likely to turn up again soon. Ideally it will come back to 1516 and maybe 1461 but looks so far like 1516 will be the lowest it will go. Stick an order in with a stop below 1440. Or stick one in at 1446 - less chance of getting struck but also...
USDTRY US Dollar Turkish Lira This is striking impulse wave: and when it breaks down it's a fabulous short Cannot short this whilst within the power of this massive impulse wave. But once it falls out of the parallel it becomes a massive short - once broken, look for any retest of the parallel from the underside once broken as a second shorting opportunity...
Bitcoin: BTCUSD Over Thanksgiving Entry Points for some potentially big trades ahead: neutral in near term ahead of the action Hoping you'll have got out of longs when that pin bar mentioned in last update coudn't be beaten. It was likely a serious player in a low volume market who knew what he was doing at an inflection point with good timing - on a holiday, but...
Silver: XAGUSD Look to Buy Dips It's just about bearish enough to go long here. But no one seems very interested. It's likely to need the dollar to break below it's lower parallel (see DXY comment for back-up to this trade) before interest picks up here. One thing it has in its favour is those pin bars forming off the dynamic support shown on the chart. It's...
Dollar Index: DXY So far DXY is displaying precisely the kind of technical price action you'd expect of something in the process of breaking down lower...the tiny continuation pattern with a bearish upwards slope, every move contained within the parallels that control this inverted flag formation. The dollar will try to rally from the lower parallel of the...
Brent Crude OIL UKOIL Trade Set-Ups for this Week Position: Flat - Just didn't trust this short after it bounced at 61.70 first target and then started to build a near term low at 61.33 so closed out the short for just over 100 pips after spreads, as per updates to last comment. Disappointed at the time to close out a trade that had stopped behaving according...

Gold: XAUUSD How DXY is the gold trader's best friend right now So far gold has behaved in the bear-mangling mode expected of it since the dollar broke down below key support on DXY at 94.26 (right hand chart) but it wasn't too smart to let it go again at 1290. That rally on Friday was vicious for bears - the shape of price action as gold turned resistance at...
Bitcoin:BTCUSD It's made a break above the small parallel and run into the first line of profit takers and sellers and so far holding up above that frustrating old dynamic. If you've gone long on the break above the parallel please raise the stop to right under the old dynamic - say just under 6575 - for maybe break even if this gets slapped back hard again. So...
Bitcoin: BTCUSD Almost BS free version The way this is behaving now, sliding down the upper parallel of the continuation pattern is still more bullish than bearish, though doesn't look it, granted...it can spend a while yet grinding lower but so long as it finds support from 6450 pivot this is, surprisingly, looking like it might well make a break to the upside...
Bitcoin is now approoaching important resistance again at the break level/original shorting point from yesterday, at 6445- 6510, with the additional problem of the old dynamic support line that propped up the rallies from the summer lows hanging above it 6515. So it's a near term short for day traders from 6510 with a stop 50 points above but only back to 6300,...
BITCOIN: BTCUSD Update on Positions Not a bad day, so far but need to keep an eye on this short still...day-traders have made 250 points from the short from 6300 early in UK morning, then another 200 to 450 points from the long at 6050 just an hour later, depending on where you took profits and now we're short once more from the highs of the day at 6450 with...

Bitcoin: BTCUSD For what it's worth right now, and looking at the bigger picture and pattern developing in first moment of calm since rising from bed, believe that Bitcoin is most likely to bottom at 5098 - a long way down from here - that view will only change if Bitcoin continues to hold up around current values and then turns up and breaks through parallel as...
BCH/DOLLAR BCHUSD Short Set-up Some interesting action by this crypto pair. Take a look on the 15 minute chart at the continuation patterns over just the last couple of days, just perfect, with great entry points. If you traded this since yesterday, so far so good. But when Bitcoin bottoms it will obviously snap back, giving bears a chance to hit it ...so...
S&P 500 Index SPX500 The last short got stopped out at even - right idea, wrong double top. Now it's fallen below the parallel that's been guiding this impulse wave since summer lows...it's trying to make a feeble counter-rally back to kiss the underside of the lower parallel before it falls away again to 2566-2564 range where it should make a rally attempt...
