Wave Analysis

MSTR still in wave 4 rangeNASDAQ:MSTR Price is still in a wave (IV) which are expected to be long and drawn out, yet shallow which is what we have here. I don’t expect wave (V) to kick in until Bitcoin moves. Wave (V) has an expected of the R3 daily pivot at $1039 but will overextend if Bitcoin does. Price has fallen out of the lower channel boundary and sitting at the weekly pivot, still above the weekly 200EMA so the outlook us bullish. wave (4) may complete at the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement at $203. For now I am waiting to see what happens before entering but believe good opportunities are setting up. Safe trading

MARA Strong breakout incomingNASDAQ:MARA is stalling at the weekly pivot as expected but is above the 200EMA. Wave (II) appears complete at the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement with a swing below the lower boundary trend-line. Wave 3 of (III) appears to be underway so I am looking for an aggressive breakout to the upside once we clear the current resistance. The R1 pivot is the first target at $30 where the last bit of major resistance before the stronger breakout should come in, the High Volume Node. Wave (III) has a target of $83 at the next major High Volume Node resistance, just above the R5 pivot. Analysis is invalidated if we fall below $10. RSI is at the EQ with plenty of room for upside Safe trading

IREN Exhausted? PUllback time?IREN wave (3) ran incredibly and I am looking for a deeper pullback as people begin to take profit. I have closed my positions at a 10x and am waiting for re-entry. The weekly pivots have been ran, RSI is at max overbought but can remain here for months (as it has done). Initial downside targets for wave (4) is the 0.236 Fib retracement at $39 followed by the 0.382, $26.43. Expect shorts to pile in adding to any downside momentum. In the long term I believe we have much higher to go towards $100 in wave (5). Safe trading

GOLD → Retest 4060 within the range. What are the expectations?FX:XAUUSD is forming a correction from the Asian session, with the price testing the important 4060 zone ahead of two key events: US inflation data (CPI) and the results of US-China trade negotiations. Key factors: US inflation (CPI): Low data will support gold (expectations of two cuts in 2024), but high figures will strengthen the USD and weaken gold (rates for a rate cut in December will decline). Progress in negotiations between China and the US could weaken gold, while failure would bring back demand for safe havens. US sanctions against Russian oil are supporting oil prices and inflation expectations. Gold is in wait-and-see mode. Growth is likely with weak CPI or a failure of negotiations. Strong CPI and progress in trade will reinforce the correction. The mood remains cautious ahead of events. Resistance levels: 4090, 4150, 4163 Support levels: 4060, 4002 The important zone of 4060 - gold is forming a false breakdown. If the bulls hold their defense above this zone, it could trigger growth towards the resistance of the range. Otherwise, we can expect a retest of 4000K, and the reaction should be aggressive... Best regards, R. Linda!

BITCOIN → Trend support broken. Consolidation...BINANCE:BTCUSDT.P is consolidating below the previously broken uptrend line. There are no clear signs of the correction ending or the presence of a strong bullish player. A retest of resistance is forming... Bitcoin is forming a trading range of 111650 - 107377 (106270). There is no clear bullish pattern at the moment, and we are seeing a correction to resistance before a possible decline to the liquidity pool of 106270, which is formed by consolidation and a retest phase. There are two key zones ahead: 111650 and 113600. Resistance at 111650 has been confirmed, but if this zone does not hold the price, it will be necessary to monitor the upper boundary. A false breakout could trigger a pullback. The cryptocurrency market currently looks somewhat weak due to the phase of uncertainty and doubts about policy. Resistance levels: 111650, 113600 Support levels: 108650, 107375, 106270 Market behavior indicates that a consolidation phase is currently developing within the local downtrend. A breakout of 113K and consolidation above 113500 could confirm a trend reversal, but there are no such signals at the moment. I consider a pullback to the zone of interest from resistance to be a priority. Best regards, R. Linda!

CLSK, nothing changed, $40+ incoming, 2x minNASDAQ:CLSK is low cap asset and is prone to large volatile swing like we are seeing but also gives way to opportunities. Price is attempting to breakout the macro triangle upper boundary was rejected at first. Breaking above wave D at $24 is key to trigger the thrust I'm looking for towards $42 and $80 all time High Volume Node after that. Price has momentum above the weekly pivot 200EMA but currently trapped in a High Volume Node where we expect price to stall before continuing upwards. RSI can stay in overbought for months. Participants are still afraid of this asset coming against them and its volatility, a reflection of the broader sentiment of FEAR in retail that is still persisting at all time high. Ridiculous bear market PTSD. A recipe for MUCH higher. until market wide confidence takes hold. Safe trading

Should you panic now?TKA took a heavy dip today — and let’s be honest, it probably won’t be the last. The reason lies in the company split: TKMS, its naval division, is now tradable on its own. Naturally, when a split like that happens, market capitalization shrinks, and the price reacts accordingly. Add a few investors who missed the news and panic sold, and you get today’s selloff. But does that mean our 16 € target is dead and we’re all doomed? Not quite. We got rejected cleanly off the resistance line (-0.236 Fib) right as the blue structure completed — a selloff was inevitable. When the market reacts that fast, it often seeks a deeper retracement, and that’s exactly what I’m watching. The 0.618 level is where I plan to reload. I like that zone because it would align with the target line, creating a healthy lower low that still holds as a higher low on the larger structure — a textbook sign of a market that’s simply completing its formation, not collapsing.

EURUSD (Oct 25, ) — Structural Completion Before the Next moveEURUSD on the 4H timeframe is forming a rising channel structure (A–B–C–D–E). Currently, price is testing the D–zone, which will decide the next direction. Two possible cases: 1️⃣ Direct Bullish Continuation — if D holds, expecting breakout toward 1.2000–1.2100. 2️⃣ Short-term Sell then Strong Bull Rally — liquidity grab below D before the next impulsive wave. Both align with the higher-timeframe bullish bias. Patience around 1.1600–1.1650 could reward the disciplined trader.

AI Final Grab IncomingNYSE:AI - AI has been forming a Wyckoff traders dream chart. This did look ready for a bounce (and still may) with the doji candle that printed at the beginning of September, but now, this ascending channel is looking bearish. So, the ascending channel may be hinting that wave C will be bottoming around the 1:1.272 and print a ST (Secondary Test). May 2022 Support is right where a MM would set the liquidity grab, and possibly the last one before the next wave up, and an impulsive wave at that. AI in this area could very well be like NVDA back in 2002, up, up, and away. -Not Financial Advice-

USDJPY: Bulls Still in Control 👋Hello everyone! What do you think about FX:USDJPY ? The pair is currently trading around 152.8, continuing to maintain a steady bullish trend. The upward momentum is strongly supported by the wide interest rate gap between the U.S. and Japan — with the U.S. dollar still benefiting from the Federal Reserve’s “higher-for-longer” stance, while the Bank of Japan (BoJ) keeps its ultra-loose monetary policy intact. From a technical perspective, after the recent breakout from the sideways range and a strong liquidity recovery, USDJPY has gained even more bullish momentum. I expect the pair to continue forming a Break of Structure (BOS) pattern. If the price holds above the current resistance zone, the next targets could be 154.0 – 155.0 in the coming sessions. What about you — how do you see the trend for USDJPY? Share your thoughts in the comments below! 💬

Developed Market and Emerging MarketIntroduction The global economy is an interconnected network of nations at different stages of economic development. These stages are generally categorized into developed markets, emerging markets, and frontier markets. Among them, developed and emerging markets play the most significant roles in shaping international trade, investment flows, and financial stability. Understanding these two categories is essential for investors, policymakers, and economists who analyze global financial dynamics, risk profiles, and growth opportunities. Developed markets represent mature, advanced economies with strong industrial bases, high income per capita, and stable political systems. Emerging markets, on the other hand, are countries in the process of industrialization and modernization, showing rapid growth but also facing economic volatility and structural challenges. This distinction helps investors gauge risk, return potential, and diversification strategies in global portfolios. 1. Definition and Concept Developed Market A developed market (also known as an advanced or mature market) refers to a country with a highly industrialized economy, well-established financial systems, and high living standards. These nations have robust infrastructure, sophisticated regulatory frameworks, and stable political environments that promote predictable business operations. Their economic activities are primarily driven by services and advanced manufacturing rather than agriculture or basic industries. International organizations such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank, and United Nations classify developed markets based on indicators like: Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita Human Development Index (HDI) Financial market sophistication Industrial diversification Institutional strength and governance quality Examples of developed markets include: United States Canada United Kingdom Germany France Japan Australia South Korea Switzerland These economies form the backbone of global financial systems and often host major stock exchanges such as the NYSE, NASDAQ, London Stock Exchange, and Tokyo Stock Exchange. Emerging Market An emerging market is a nation transitioning from a developing to a developed economy. These countries experience rapid industrialization, urbanization, and integration into the global economy, leading to substantial growth potential. However, they also face higher risks, including political instability, inflation volatility, and weaker institutional frameworks. The term "emerging market" was popularized by economist Antoine van Agtmael in the 1980s to describe countries with growing capital markets that were becoming attractive to foreign investors. Criteria defining emerging markets include: Moderate to high GDP growth rates Expanding middle class Increasing foreign investment Developing infrastructure and technology Improving governance and market reforms Prominent emerging markets include: China India Brazil Russia Mexico Indonesia South Africa Turkey Thailand These countries often form part of groupings such as BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) or MINT (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, Turkey). 2. Key Characteristics Developed Markets High Income Levels: Developed economies have high GDP per capita, reflecting widespread wealth and purchasing power. For example, countries like the U.S. and Switzerland boast per capita incomes exceeding $60,000 annually. Mature Financial Systems: Their banking systems, capital markets, and insurance sectors are well-established and transparent, governed by strong regulatory frameworks. Low Political and Economic Risk: Stable governments, rule of law, and consistent economic policies create confidence among investors. Advanced Infrastructure: Efficient transportation, communication, and energy networks support productivity and competitiveness. Technological Leadership: Developed nations are at the forefront of innovation in industries such as IT, biotechnology, and renewable energy. Stable Currency and Inflation: Their central banks, such as the U.S. Federal Reserve or the European Central Bank, maintain price stability and sound monetary policy. Emerging Markets High Growth Potential: Emerging economies often record faster GDP growth, sometimes exceeding 5–8% annually, driven by industrialization and rising domestic consumption. Expanding Middle Class: Economic development leads to a growing middle-income population, which boosts demand for goods, housing, and financial services. Reform-Driven Economies: Structural reforms, such as privatization and liberalization, make these markets more attractive to foreign investors. Developing Financial Systems: Their capital markets are growing but may still lack depth, transparency, and liquidity compared to developed markets. Currency and Political Volatility: Exchange rates and government policies can fluctuate significantly, affecting investor confidence. Urbanization and Industrialization: Rapid city expansion and manufacturing growth drive job creation and export competitiveness. 3. Economic Indicators Comparison Indicator Developed Markets Emerging Markets GDP per capita High (> $40,000) Moderate ($5,000–$20,000) Growth rate Moderate (1–3%) High (4–8%) Inflation Low and stable Moderate to high Infrastructure Advanced Developing Political stability Strong Varies widely Currency stability High Often volatile Industrial base Services and high-tech Manufacturing and agriculture Income inequality Relatively low Often high Financial markets Deep and liquid Expanding but less liquid 4. Role in Global Economy Developed Markets’ Role Developed economies act as the anchors of global finance and trade. They host the largest multinational corporations, reserve currencies, and financial hubs. The U.S. dollar, euro, and yen serve as international mediums of exchange, influencing global monetary policy. Their advanced financial systems provide capital to the rest of the world through foreign direct investments (FDI) and institutional funds. They also drive technological innovation and research & development, setting global standards in production and governance. Developed markets’ consumer demand fuels global exports from emerging and developing nations, linking their prosperity to world trade flows. Emerging Markets’ Role Emerging economies represent the engine of global growth in the 21st century. They contribute a significant share of global GDP expansion due to large populations, rapid industrialization, and consumption growth. For instance, China and India alone account for over one-third of global economic growth. They are crucial suppliers of raw materials, manufactured goods, and increasingly digital services. Moreover, they offer investment diversification opportunities, as their growth cycles may differ from developed economies. Emerging markets also play an essential role in addressing global challenges such as energy demand, environmental sustainability, and digital transformation. 5. Investment Perspective From an investment standpoint, both developed and emerging markets present distinct risk-reward profiles. Developed Market Investments Investing in developed economies offers stability, transparency, and lower risk. Their stock markets are highly liquid and regulated, making them ideal for long-term investors seeking steady returns. However, growth opportunities may be limited because of market maturity and slower GDP expansion. Common investment vehicles include: Blue-chip equities (e.g., Apple, Microsoft, Nestlé) Government bonds (e.g., U.S. Treasuries) Index funds tracking major benchmarks (e.g., S&P 500, FTSE 100) Emerging Market Investments Emerging markets provide higher growth potential but also higher volatility. Investors are attracted to the potential for strong returns from sectors like infrastructure, consumer goods, and technology. However, risks include political instability, currency depreciation, and weaker governance. Investment opportunities include: Local equities and bonds Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tracking emerging indices (e.g., MSCI Emerging Markets Index) Direct investment in infrastructure or start-ups Diversifying portfolios across both markets helps balance stability and growth potential. 6. Challenges Faced by Each Market Type Challenges in Developed Markets Slow Growth: Mature economies experience limited GDP expansion due to market saturation and aging populations. High Debt Levels: Many developed nations carry large public debts, creating fiscal pressures. Technological Disruption: Automation and AI may lead to job displacement and inequality. Geopolitical Risks: Trade disputes and policy shifts (e.g., Brexit, U.S.–China tensions) can affect global stability. Challenges in Emerging Markets Political Instability: Government changes and weak institutions can disrupt economic policy. Inflation and Currency Risk: Volatile exchange rates can deter foreign investment. Dependence on Commodities: Many emerging economies rely heavily on exports like oil or minerals, making them vulnerable to price swings. Infrastructure Deficits: Inadequate roads, power supply, and communication networks limit industrial efficiency. Capital Flight: When global interest rates rise, investors often withdraw funds from riskier emerging markets. 7. Interdependence Between Developed and Emerging Markets Globalization has woven developed and emerging markets into a mutually dependent economic fabric. Developed nations invest heavily in emerging markets for higher returns and resource access, while emerging markets rely on developed economies for technology, capital, and demand. For example: U.S. and European companies outsource manufacturing to Asia to reduce costs. China and India import advanced machinery and software from developed countries. Financial crises or interest rate changes in the U.S. can ripple across emerging economies. Thus, while they differ in structure and stability, both market types are interlinked in global trade, investment, and policy networks. 8. The Future Outlook The future of global growth is expected to be driven increasingly by emerging markets. By 2050, countries like China, India, and Indonesia are projected to become the world’s largest economies in purchasing power parity (PPP) terms. Their rising consumer bases, technological adoption, and urbanization will reshape global demand patterns. However, developed markets will continue to dominate in innovation, finance, and governance standards. They will serve as models of economic stability and sustainability, influencing the global economic architecture through institutions such as the IMF, World Bank, and G7. The key to a balanced global economy lies in cooperation between developed and emerging markets, focusing on trade fairness, technology transfer, and sustainable development. Conclusion Developed and emerging markets represent two distinct yet complementary pillars of the global economic system. Developed markets embody stability, efficiency, and innovation, while emerging markets offer dynamism, growth, and transformation. Together, they shape the rhythm of global finance, trade, and investment. For investors and policymakers alike, understanding the interplay between these markets is crucial. Developed economies provide safe, predictable environments for steady returns, whereas emerging markets offer the promise of high growth with commensurate risks. As globalization deepens and digital technologies blur traditional boundaries, the collaboration and balance between these two market categories will define the future of global prosperity.

Global Finance Control on Central BanksIntroduction Central banks are the cornerstone of a nation’s monetary and financial stability. They regulate the money supply, manage interest rates, maintain price stability, and act as lenders of last resort during crises. Examples include the Federal Reserve (U.S.), the European Central Bank (ECB), the Bank of Japan (BoJ), and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). However, in today’s deeply interconnected global economy, the autonomy of central banks is not absolute. They operate within a global financial system heavily influenced by international capital flows, global trade dynamics, foreign exchange markets, and powerful multinational institutions. The control of global finance over central banks is a topic of major debate among economists and policymakers. While central banks are officially independent, their actions are shaped by the pressures and movements within global markets. Understanding this interplay is critical to analyzing how global economic policies are formed and how nations maintain financial sovereignty. 1. The Role and Functions of Central Banks Central banks serve several core functions within national economies: Monetary Policy Implementation – They regulate interest rates and control money supply to achieve economic stability. Price Stability and Inflation Control – Ensuring that inflation remains within target levels protects the value of money and public confidence. Financial Stability and Regulation – Central banks oversee financial institutions to prevent systemic crises. Foreign Exchange Management – They manage exchange rates, foreign reserves, and currency interventions. Lender of Last Resort – During financial distress, central banks provide emergency liquidity to banks and financial institutions. Economic Growth Promotion – By influencing credit availability and investment, central banks indirectly promote growth and employment. In theory, these functions are carried out independently from political or external influences. However, in the era of globalized finance, maintaining such independence has become increasingly difficult. 2. The Global Financial System and Its Influence The global financial system is a web of interconnected markets and institutions, including international banks, hedge funds, multinational corporations, and supranational organizations such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank. It is characterized by: Cross-border capital flows Global investment funds and currency trading Interconnected banking networks International debt and credit markets Global rating agencies and financial intermediaries These elements create a financial ecosystem in which no central bank can act in isolation. The decisions made by one major central bank—particularly the U.S. Federal Reserve—can ripple across the globe, influencing exchange rates, asset prices, and borrowing costs in multiple countries. 3. The U.S. Federal Reserve’s Global Dominance The U.S. dollar is the world’s primary reserve currency, accounting for nearly 60% of global reserves and the majority of international trade settlements. As a result, the Federal Reserve (Fed) exerts substantial indirect control over global financial conditions. When the Fed changes its interest rates or monetary policy stance, the effects are immediate and widespread: Emerging markets experience capital inflows or outflows based on the attractiveness of U.S. yields. Currency values fluctuate as investors shift between the dollar and other currencies. Global borrowing costs rise or fall depending on U.S. Treasury yields. For example, the 2013 "Taper Tantrum" occurred when the Fed announced it would reduce its quantitative easing program. This led to a massive outflow of capital from emerging markets, causing currency depreciation and market volatility worldwide. Central banks in countries like India, Brazil, and Indonesia were forced to raise interest rates or intervene in currency markets to stabilize their economies. Thus, while national central banks manage their domestic economies, their room for maneuver is constrained by decisions made in Washington. 4. The Role of the IMF and World Bank Institutions such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank play a central role in influencing the monetary policies of developing and emerging nations. While these institutions provide financial assistance and development loans, their programs often come with policy conditionalities. For instance, countries seeking IMF loans during balance-of-payment crises are required to implement austerity measures, fiscal discipline, and structural reforms, which often restrict the central bank’s ability to conduct independent monetary policy. Examples include: The Asian Financial Crisis (1997–1998), where IMF intervention imposed tight monetary and fiscal controls on countries like Thailand, Indonesia, and South Korea. Latin American debt crises of the 1980s, where IMF programs demanded strict monetary policies and privatization measures. Such conditions reflect how global financial institutions can indirectly control the policy framework of central banks, particularly in financially vulnerable nations. 5. Global Capital Flows and Market Pressures Modern financial markets operate on a 24-hour global cycle, with trillions of dollars moving across borders daily. These massive flows of “hot money” can destabilize currencies and bond markets, forcing central banks to adjust their policies even if they conflict with domestic economic needs. For instance: A sudden capital outflow can devalue a country’s currency, raise import costs, and fuel inflation. To counter this, the central bank may need to raise interest rates, which can slow economic growth. Conversely, large capital inflows can create asset bubbles and inflationary pressures, requiring monetary tightening. In this sense, global financial markets act as a disciplinary mechanism, rewarding or punishing central banks based on their policies. Nations with high fiscal deficits or loose monetary policies often face downward pressure on their currency or increased borrowing costs in global bond markets. 6. Exchange Rate Systems and Dependence Exchange rate management is another area where global finance limits central bank independence. Most countries today operate under floating exchange rates, meaning their currency value is determined by market forces. However, even floating currencies are vulnerable to speculative attacks and global shocks. Countries that peg their currency to the dollar or euro must align their monetary policies with the anchor currency’s central bank, effectively surrendering policy control. For example, countries in the Eurozone have ceded national control to the European Central Bank (ECB), which sets a unified monetary policy for 20 diverse economies. Similarly, economies with dollar pegs, like Hong Kong or Saudi Arabia, must follow U.S. interest rate trends to maintain currency stability. Thus, through exchange rate mechanisms, global finance exerts control over domestic policy decisions. 7. The Power of Global Financial Institutions and Rating Agencies Global credit rating agencies such as Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s, and Fitch Ratings have significant influence on national monetary conditions. A downgrade in a country’s sovereign rating can lead to higher borrowing costs, reduced investor confidence, and currency depreciation. Central banks must often take preemptive actions—such as tightening monetary policy or maintaining high reserves—to maintain favorable credit ratings. This dependence on external validation further diminishes true policy autonomy. Similarly, international investment banks and hedge funds influence global liquidity conditions. Their collective actions can amplify or counteract central bank policies, shaping market expectations and financial stability. 8. The Challenge of Central Bank Independence Central bank independence is designed to prevent political interference and maintain policy credibility. However, true independence is a relative concept. Central banks must balance domestic economic objectives with global realities, including: Exchange rate volatility Global interest rate movements Commodity price fluctuations Investor sentiment and risk appetite For smaller or developing economies, these external pressures can severely constrain policy options. Even advanced economies are not immune—consider the European Central Bank, which must balance the interests of both strong economies like Germany and weaker ones like Greece or Italy. 9. Global Crises and Central Bank Coordination During periods of global crisis, such as the 2008 Global Financial Crisis or the COVID-19 pandemic, central banks often act in coordination. The Federal Reserve, ECB, Bank of Japan, and others engaged in synchronized interest rate cuts and quantitative easing programs to inject liquidity into global markets. While such cooperation stabilized financial systems, it also highlighted the growing interdependence of global central banks. The Fed’s swap lines—temporary currency exchanges with other central banks—became essential tools to ensure global dollar liquidity, reinforcing U.S. dominance over international finance. This global coordination is beneficial during crises but underscores the reality that national policies are now part of a global financial ecosystem dominated by major economies and institutions. 10. The Digital Era and Future of Central Banking The rise of digital currencies, blockchain technology, and decentralized finance (DeFi) introduces new challenges to central banks’ control. Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) are being developed to maintain monetary sovereignty in an era of financial globalization. However, even with digital innovation, global finance remains interconnected. A digital dollar or euro could enhance the global influence of their respective central banks, while smaller nations could find their financial systems further marginalized. 11. Implications for Developing Economies For developing nations, dependence on foreign investment, external debt, and imported inflation makes them particularly vulnerable to global financial forces. When major central banks tighten policy, capital flows reverse, currencies weaken, and debt servicing costs rise. This “financial dependency” limits the ability of central banks in emerging markets to pursue independent monetary policy. The solution often lies in: Strengthening domestic financial markets Diversifying reserves Promoting local currency settlements Building policy credibility and transparency Such measures can help shield national economies from excessive global influence. Conclusion Central banks were originally established to safeguard national monetary stability, but in the 21st century, their independence is constrained by the immense power of global finance. International capital flows, financial institutions, rating agencies, and dominant currencies—especially the U.S. dollar—shape the policy space available to even the most powerful central banks. Global financial control is not always direct or conspiratorial—it operates through market mechanisms, investor sentiment, and institutional interdependence. The challenge for modern central banks is to balance national economic priorities with global financial realities. In an increasingly integrated world, complete autonomy is impossible. Yet, by fostering transparency, coordination, and prudent macroeconomic management, central banks can navigate these global pressures effectively. The key lies not in resisting globalization but in managing interdependence wisely, ensuring that the pursuit of global stability does not come at the expense of national sovereignty and economic justice.

Bitcoin (BTC) — Path Toward $115,000Right now, Bitcoin looks like it’s gearing up for a push higher, but it needs a little spark — maybe a strong daily close above $111.5K or some positive market catalyst. Think of $109K as the floor and $115K as the ceiling for this current swing. If BTC keeps grinding higher with decent volume and no sudden macro shocks, a move to $115K feels very realistic in the near term. Entry zone: $110,000 – $110,500 Stop-loss: below $108,000 Target: $115,000 Risk–Reward ratio: roughly 1:2.5

SLNH / DailyNASDAQ:SLNH — 📊Technical Update As highlighted in earlier NASDAQ:SLNH updates, the price declined by 23% intraday, aligning with the near-term bearish bias previously outlined. The sharp retracement suggests increased selling pressure, with momentum indicators confirming a continuation of the short-term downtrend. Unless the price reclaims key resistance levels, the bias remains to the downside. Bearish Alt. Scenario Under this alternate scenario, Minor Wave 4 appears to be unfolding — a corrective phase that could retrace up to –66%, consistent with the behavior typically observed within a Leading Diagonal structure. This retracement is expected to be sharp and volatile, characteristic of fourth waves in such formations. The near-term downside target is projected around $1.66, aligning with the apex of the equivalence lines. 🔖This outlook is based on insights from my Quantum Models framework. Bullish Alternate Scenario The rising price action since early April continues to develop as a broader Leading Diagonal, potentially forming Intermediate Wave (1). Should this diagonal structure confirm, Minor Wave 5 may extend the broader uptrend — with a potential +300%📈 advance emerging as early as mid-November. The projected target for the completion of Intermediate Wave (1) stands near $6.66🎯. #QuantumModels #EquivalenceLines #Targeting #MarketAnalysis #TechnicalAnalysis #ElliottWave #WaveAnalysis #TrendAnalysis #FibLevels #FinTwit #TradingView #Investing #SLNH #GreenDataCenters #BitcoinMining #CryptoMining #AIStocks #HPC #AI #BTC #Bitcoin #BTCUSD CRYPTOCAP:BTC BITSTAMP:BTCUSD

Macro Context 1. Rate Cuts and End of QT: The Fed continues to signal a move toward easier policy. As rate cuts proceed and quantitative tightening winds down, risk assets tend to rally. Crypto often lags equities by a few weeks, meaning ETH could soon benefit from these liquidity shifts. 3. Liquidity Flow from Gold: Crypto will steal liquidity from gold sellers as liquidity rotates. 3. Volatility Positioning: DVOL data shows implied volatility hovering around 43–44, indicating that institutional players are not aggressively hedging downside. Such volatility compression often precedes a major directional move, typically upward during liquidity expansions Technical Confluences 1. Wave Structure: ETH appears to be finalizing Wave 4, setting up for a higher-low structure that leads into Wave 5. The MACD on the 3D timeframe is reversing, supporting bullish continuation. 2. Golden Pocket Retrace: The current pullback perfectly aligns with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement zone between 3,741 and 3,591. 4. Bull Market Support Band: The 20W SMA and 21W EMA continue to hold as dynamic support. 5. Funding Rate Sentiment: Funding rates across major exchanges remain neutral to slightly negative. This shows that short positions are piling in near support, which is typical during the final stages of a corrective phase before a squeeze higher. DO NOT BE COMPLACENT.

Latest BTCUSDT Update Today👋Hello everyone, what are your thoughts on BINANCE:BTCUSDT today? After several days of volatility, Bitcoin (BTC) has reclaimed the $110,000 level, marking a notable rebound after being rejected from a key resistance area earlier this week. Previously, BTC dropped to as low as $106,000, but quickly bounced back, showing that buying momentum is gradually returning to the market. Although the recovery isn’t yet significant, it signals that risk appetite is improving across the broader crypto landscape. Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETF flows remain mixed, reflecting a certain level of hesitation among institutional investors. However, when viewed through the lens of historical patterns, the current setup resembles accumulation phases that preceded major rallies. This opens the door to a potential uptrend in the coming weeks, especially if Bitcoin can hold firm above the $107,000–$110,000 support zone. What about you — what’s your outlook on BTCUSDT? 💬Share your thoughts in the comments below!

GBPUSD maintains a bearish outlook👋Hello everyone, what do you think about FX:GBPUSD ? Currently, GBPUSD continues to trade within a clear downtrend channel on the chart. The British pound remains weak, and technical indicators show that the EMA 34 is still below the EMA 89, confirming that the downtrend is likely to persist. The next key support level is around 1.325, where the price might find some buying pressure. However, if this support level is broken, the likelihood of further downside is quite high. In the short term, I maintain a bearish outlook for GBPUSD. What do you think about this currency pair? 💬Leave your thoughts in the comments!
