Palantir - The Box Calls The ShotsI recently posted a palatir chart with clean levels of where I'd look to DCA. While those dip-buy levels can easily be used to trade the name, I think it would also help to be mindful of the box ranges as we trade into them. As you'll see, Palantir loves to play with box as much as I do. If you are familiar with how to trade box set-ups, you can take advantage immediately; otherwise, you may want to do some research on how to trade these. ~The Villain

Starbucks (SBUX) – 4 Warning Signs Point to a Potential..Starbucks (SBUX) – 4 Warning Signs Point to a Potential Downturn Traders and investors should be cautious on SBUX as multiple technical indicators are signaling a bearish outlook across different timeframes. Here’s a breakdown of the red flags: 1. Negative Volume Pressure Recent trading sessions have shown a decline in volume on upward moves, while downward moves are backed by heavier selling volume. This imbalance suggests that buyers are losing control, and the stock may be set for a further pullback. 2. Balance of Power (BOP) Turns Bearish The Balance of Power (BOP) indicator, which measures buyer vs. seller dominance, has flipped into negative territory. A bearish BOP indicates that sellers are gaining control over the market, confirming the negative volume trend. 3. EMA Crossover Signals Trend Weakness The short-term EMA (e.g., 50 EMA) has started crossing below the long-term EMA (e.g., 200 EMA), a classic signal of a downtrend formation. EMA crossovers are widely regarded as reliable indicators for trend direction. 4. Stochastic Divergence Confirms Bearish Momentum Finally, the Stochastic oscillator is showing a bearish divergence, with price making higher highs while Stoch fails to confirm them. This often precedes sharp reversals or pullbacks. ⚠️ Conclusion All four indicators — negative volume, bearish BOP, EMA cross down, and Stochastic divergence — align to suggest that SBUX may be heading toward a correction or short-term crash. Traders should consider tightening stops, reducing exposure, or exploring short positions in accordance with their risk strategy. Also remember we are using the 50,200 EMA thats the rocket booster strategy Rocket boost this content to learn more. Disclaimer: This is technical analysis only and not financial advice.

BTC CME: Volume is the storyThe key level is $110,000 (Value Area High). Breaking that could see price quickly at $97,500 (Point of Control). If that level fails, a move toward the $90,000 gap and the major support at $84,000 is likely. The current volatility suggests a larger move is brewing. Confluence: @ Bearish divergence between price and Cumulative Delta on the Daily. @ Unfilled CME and volume gaps below. @ Seasonality: Watching for historical headwinds as the DXY tends to strengthen (from August onwards) while SPX and BTC enter their weakest period of the year (Aug/Sept).

The weekly, D1 and H1 timeframes all currently favor the sellersHi traders and investors! This analysis is based on the Initiative Analysis concept (IA). Weekly timeframe On the weekly timeframe, we see a buyer’s initiative, but at the same time, the seller absorbed a strong buyer candle — with the highest volume in recent months — and formed a seller zone (marked with a red rectangle). That’s a negative sign for long entries and a potential setup for short entries from the seller’s zone. Below, the weekly chart shows three important levels: 3268, 3244, and 3201. I expect the price to move down toward 3244, where there is likely more liquidity (possibly with a touch of 3201). That’s where we can start looking for buy patterns. Daily timeframe On the daily timeframe, we have a sideways market and a seller’s initiative now, with a target at 3154. The buyer tried to start a move from the buyer zone (blue rectangle), but both candles had declining volume, and the second candle failed to close above the first one. That’s a negative sign for long entries. Friday’s buyer candle also had low volume and showed no result — That’s a negative sign for long entries too. With a seller’s initiative in place and no real buying signals, we’re focusing on short opportunities. Hourly timeframe On the 1H chart, the price has formed a sideways range with a buyer’s initiative. The lower boundary of this range is at 3331, where we saw price interaction on declining volume — a negative sign for long setups. I expect price to interact with 3329, after which a buyer move is possible (unlikely, but possible). The target is 3358. Wishing you profitable trades!

Stablecoins as the New Macro Liquidity ProxyFor years, macro liquidity in crypto was gauged through broad monetary metrics like M2 or Total Market Cap. But those days are fading. With the rise of regulated stablecoins—and new TradingView tickers like CRYPTOCAP:STABLE.C (Stablecoin Market Cap) and CRYPTOCAP:STABLE.C.D (Stablecoin Dominance)—we now have real-time, on-chain liquidity metrics that better reflect how institutional and retail capital enters the crypto ecosystem. 🔑 Why These Tickers Matter • STABLE.C = Capital injection. → Tracks aggregate growth of major stablecoins, serving as a proxy for dry powder entering the system. • STABLE.C.D = Sentiment signal. → Measures stablecoin dominance relative to the crypto market. → Rising dominance = risk-off (capital parked). → Falling dominance = risk-on (capital deploying). Together, they offer a macro lens on risk appetite and capital inflow , updated in real-time—something no traditional metric can match. 🔍 How We Use Them These metrics are now integrated into our Crypto Macro Cockpit , where: • Stablecoin cap growth signals liquidity expansion or contraction • Dominance slope helps identify regime shifts (risk-on vs risk-off) We're beginning to see consistent patterns: ➤ Surges in STABLE.C precede market rallies ➤ Spikes in STABLE.C.D often align with rotation tops or periods of caution 📎 Implication Stablecoins are no longer just trading tools—they’re macro indicators. If ETFs are the Trojan horse for institutional entry, stablecoins are the bloodstream. As we transition into a new cycle, these tickers might become the most important charts you’re not watching. 💬 Would love to hear from others—are you using STABLE.C or STABLE.C.D in your analysis? What signals are you seeing?

BTCUSDT. Where to look for buys?Hi traders and investors! This analysis is based on the Initiative Analysis concept (IA). On the weekly timeframe, there was a sideways range (boundaries marked with black lines) that the buyer broke to the upside, but so far has been unable to extend the initiative further. Sellers are still defending the 123,000 level — we can see this from the volume that appears whenever price touches this zone. On the weekly chart, there’s also the 114,723 level, where price interacted with a seller candle on declining volume. That’s not a bullish signal for looking at longs and suggests price may move lower. If 114,723 doesn’t hold, we could see a retest of the local low at 111,920. On the daily timeframe, price has formed a sideways range (boundaries marked with black lines). The current vector is with the sellers, with a target at 115,736. We’ll be watching how price reacts at 115,736 and at 114,723 — and whether a strong buyer appears at these levels. Wishing you profitable trades!

$CMG Long Swing Trade Pros -Major pullback from highs: -40% from ATH. -Technical confluence at support: Top of 2020–2024 range, weekly 200MA, and weekly volume POC. -Gap magnet above: July 22 gap to $50.76 (+21% from here) with intermediate target $45–47 (+8–9%). -Strong fundamentals: YOY revenue and gross profit growth consistently +20–30%. -Brand moat: Loyal customer base, pricing power, consistent product quality. -Innovation: Ongoing AI & robotics investment in meal prep. Supports margin expansion over time. -Post-split price appeal: Lower nominal price post 50:1 split may draw in retail on recovery. Risks -Valuation still stretched: P/E of 38 even after a large correction. Leaves room for further multiple compression. -Macro headwinds: If consumer spending slows, fast-casual dining could see softer traffic. -Gap risk to the downside: A decisive break below $40 could trigger selling toward $35–37. -High expectations baked in: Growth slowdown could cause outsized downside. Entry Zone: Current levels ($43–44) Targets: -TP1 (Conservative): $46–47 → +8–9% -TP2 (Aggressive): $50–51 → +18–21% (gap-fill / daily POC target) Stop Loss: -$41–40 → Below key support confluence (old range top, weekly 200MA). -Close below $40 = setup invalidated. Timeframe: -Swing trade → Expectation of move playing out over several weeks to a few months. Notes: -Trim partial position at TP1 to lock gains, let rest ride toward TP2. -If price fails to reclaim $44 within the next few sessions, reassess — could indicate sellers still in control. -P/E still high. Not a value play.

MINIMA - Technical Analysis. Are we entering a bull market?MINIMA - Technical Analysis. Are we entering a bull market? Hello! I am returning to an analysis of MINIMA. This market is remarkably interesting in both its structure and behavior. Today, I will review the latest structure and place it in the broader context, including the history observed on the Wrapped version. Unfortunately, TradingView does not allow overlaying two charts outside their native ranges, so I will refer to data from both Wrapped and MINIMA. Let’s begin. I do not have formal education in this field. I am self-taught and place strong emphasis on Technical Analysis as the core of my decision-making process. While charts are difficult to read, I think they allow one to infer, to a meaningful extent, the hidden intentions of so-called “Smart Money.” The views below are strictly my own and may be incorrect. This publication does not constitute investment or educational advice as defined by any applicable regulations. I will rely solely on Technical Analysis based on the Wyckoff methodology, VSA, and footprint analysis. Background As background, I use the WMINIMA chart supplemented by current MINIMA quotations. WMINIMA data show periods of distribution and accumulation on the higher timeframe. A key observation for me is the strong breakout around March 2024: price surged sharply and then printed a new, deeper low. The downtrend subsequently stalled at a higher low and transitioned into a range. On the charts, I mark accumulation/distribution structures relevant to the analysis. Technical analysis and interpretation For this study I created a composite view to capture the full history. The composite lacks full volume because WMINIMA does not provide it. For context, one of my archived screenshots shows the last visible candle at roughly 1.4 million in volume; based on bar height I estimate the highest volumes to be around 6 million. pbs.twimg.com I annotate events in line with Wyckoff. In Phase A of accumulation, I label the Selling Climax as “Seller’s Exhaustion,” as in my view the bar structure does not fully match a classic Climax Bar known from VSA; however, the message is the same - significant accumulation. I first consider the highest-order, global structure marked in red. I observe rising volume on the advance that builds what I mark as an Upthrust. The next area of elevated volume begins around July 2024 - a demand response to declining price within the price zone that preceded the breakout. Both high-activity zones are in comparable price areas. I then move to the current MINIMA chart. On MINIMA, I see a local volume spike during the formation of the ATL (all-time low). I also note declining volume on the drop from a local top I labeled an Upthrust - this is a lower-order structure than the red one; I mark it in orange. Following this path leads to the area with the highest volume, which I interpret as Phase C of the orange structure. It is characterized by very high volumes(1W ~50kk to 6kk volume from 1W WMINIMA) and minimal spread. In my view, this indicates strong absorption by smart money - behavior consistent with “Bag Holding” in the Williams/VSA framework - similar to the candle that halted the decline at the ATL. To validate this, I zoom in with a 1-month footprint. The 1-month view shows the last two candles with very large volumes. The three most recent candles all have negative delta, and delta represents a significant share of total volume. The buy/sell relation suggests aggressive, dominant selling. However, price does not fall despite repeated attempts to push it lower. I analyze where volume clusters within one standard deviation. The candles have lower wicks- particularly in June - suggesting a Shakeout. Given the negative delta and the price response, I conclude there is a lack of result relative to the effort: aggressive supply has been absorbed, with the largest market orders printing within a narrow price band. In my interpretation, the orange structure is a lower-tier structure functioning as Phase C of the red, global accumulation. Considering the above, I judge it highly probable that these observations confirm ongoing accumulation. I place particular weight on the footprint: the activity occurred at the right place and time. The asset recorded the highest volumes in its history at what I think is Phase C of the global accumulation. Moreover, the market’s failure to decline under heavy selling reinforces this view. At this stage, I consider the possibility of an accumulation spring that could push price once more lower - potentially below the ATL - taking out the structure; I justify this by the still elevated volumes. I also note prior resistance and consider that a potential shakeout low could terminate around 0.0138 USD. All in all, I think this market is worth monitoring. Confirmation of my thesis would be successful supply tests resolved in favor of the bulls, followed by development consistent with Wyckoff: Last Point of Support (LPS) leading to a Sign of Strength (SOS) and a Jump Across the Creek (JAC). Thank you for reading. I wish you good health, effective analyses, and successful trades. CatTheTrader

The Compression Break: Identifying the Spring Before ExpansionDifficulty: 🐳🐳🐳🐋 (Intermediate) This article is for traders who want to recognize and trade explosive moves that form after periods of tight price compression. Perfect for those familiar with structure, volume, and volatility concepts. 🔵 INTRODUCTION Price doesn’t move in a straight line — it breathes. It expands when there’s imbalance, and it compresses when the market is building energy. The most powerful moves often start with a compression phase — a tight, controlled price range — before a sudden breakout. Learning to spot these “springs” before they snap can give you trades with excellent risk/reward ratios and clear invalidation points. 🔵 WHAT IS COMPRESSION? Compression occurs when price volatility shrinks, and each swing becomes smaller than the last. It looks like price is being “squeezed” between converging support and resistance levels. Common causes of compression: Liquidity build-up before a major session open Market waiting for a news release or key event Institutional positioning before a drive The tighter the range, the bigger the potential release. 🔵 WHY IT MATTERS Compression is important because: It reveals where the market is balanced and undecided It creates a high-energy environment — a small push can trigger big moves It offers tight stop-loss placement and clear breakout targets Think of it like a coiled spring: the more it’s compressed, the more explosive the release. 🔵 HOW TO IDENTIFY COMPRESSION 1️⃣ Price Action Clues Consecutive smaller candles with overlapping ranges Lower highs + higher lows (triangle formation) Reduced wick size in the final stages before breakout 2️⃣ Volume Clues Declining volume during the squeeze Sudden volume spike as breakout begins 3️⃣ Volatility Clues ATR (Average True Range) dropping to local lows Bollinger Bands narrowing (optional) 🔵 TRADING THE COMPRESSION BREAK Step 1: Define the Box Mark the high and low of the compression range. This will be your breakout reference. Step 2: Wait for Volume Confirmation Avoid jumping in on the first tick outside the box. Wait for a volume surge or strong close beyond the boundary. Step 3: Trade in the Breakout Direction Entry: After confirmed breakout close Stop Loss: Inside the compression range Target: Equal to the height of the compression box or previous swing high/low 🔵 EXAMPLE SCENARIO Price compresses for more then 10 bars into a tight range Volume steadily declines → ATR hits a local low A big body bullish candle breaks above range high with 2× average volume Entry at breakout close, stop inside range, target = box height projected upward or 1:2 RR 🔵 ADVANCED TIPS Align with higher timeframe trend for higher probability Watch for false breakouts (liquidity sweeps) before real move Combine with order blocks or VWAP to refine entries Use session timing — many compression breaks happen at market opens 🔵 CONCLUSION Compression is the market’s way of loading a trade with potential energy. When you spot it, you’re seeing the buildup before the burst. Trade it with patience, volume confirmation, and proper structure, and it can become one of your highest-probability setups. Have you traded compression breaks before? Share your best example in the comments!
