Bitcoin: BTCUSD Something for the Weekend Breakout ScenarioBitcoin: BTCUSD Update into the Weekend:Scenarios
The battle continues and finally the bears have made an impression on the upper parallel, pushing price down to 7800,
where pin bars from earlier show some demand (not shown on chart, but significant to the very near term now). There is no
winner yet, though. It can move sideways from here, meeting demand off the parallel and more still at 7717 freezer lid
level and down to 7660 at an absolute pinch, building a new rectangular range between 7717 and 7990-8000. It can move
sideways further, out of the pull of the parallels, large and small, but still be Ok so long as 7717-7660 holds - but it would
be a sign of strength if it could avoid all that, use the large parallel as support and then power higher, and back through
the neck line again - if and when it gathers enough buying power to manage that, this next time could well prove
successful in breaking the last bears that still stand strong at 7990-8000. So far, from their viewpoint, looking down the
mountain from 8000 with stops just above, there's nothing to scare them...yet. OK, that big bear raid first thing in London
didn't work out so well for them this time, but their stops still haven't pinged yet. When that happens and 8000 is broken by
20 points it becomes another breakout/momentum play. It will maybe need China to open to create enough
volume...they like breakouts - but we need to see one now to add to long positions from here...should it come (but think it
will at some point this weekend even if they try to sell it off in China first thing Saturday) it could well be explosive in
nature. Doesn't have to be but could well be. And once 8000 is actually broken the upside is, by nature of the beast,
incalculable. Anyone who says they have a value for Bitcoin is not to be trusted any more than asking your dog how much it's
worth. No one has ANY clue. It could be 15000, it could be 30000, it could be 5000 and it could be 5 one day. No one
knows. You KNOW that though. And it's enough to make money - big money - either way. You don't even have to
believe in Bitcoin per se, just believe what the chart is telling you, and no one else.
And so to the poential for downside this weekend coming: the big parallel remains the first line of support, and then
7717-7660 (stops for remaining longs from 7570 tight under 7660). So if 7717 fails and then 7060 also then fails we have a
near term problem emerging and Bitcoin should fall away to 7531 again and the rectangular range suddenly expands from
8000 at top to 7531 at bottomwith 7717 as the dividing line between the three...fantastic for day traders, trading
between these lines. This could take a large part of Saturday to play out if we see it..again great for day traders, a nice
wide range to play within, potentially developing this weekend as a consequence of this type of price action, if 7717
gives way, as above. But, the bull case is strong whilst above 7717 and still just fine at 7531. But if this fails at any point
this weekend, the bears are getting control again. It's a buy on any retest of 7531 with stop just under 7500 for rally to
7719. Then close if a day trader and only go long again from 7730 to 7980 with a stop under 7700, trading between the
three blue lines.
Long Story short:
Turn aggressively bullish again on a break above 8000 by 20 points, that can be sustained (very careful here as it could
explode upwards, and potentially downwards too, so stops need using and the risk of being hit quite high so they need to
be some way away from 8000 if longs are triggered, at least 100) This is still tough work but the bulls won't quit... That
parallel above, just holding it back now...if it breaks above it soon, then the break out could well follow soon after. Good
for swing traders. Otherwise we'll be heading for a Saturday made for day-traders, as above.
And turn aggressively bearish again only a break below 7531 looking to short rallies back u
Weekend
BITCOIN: BTCUSD Bigger Picture for weekend - lots of trades hereBitcoin: BTCUSD Blow-Off Top
Thar she blows.
The first top has been sliced away pretty much now and she
should try to rally from the trend line around 6360 now and
potentially from this line of support here at 6425...so be
careful now not to give profits away.
This thing could rally all the way back to 6943 again and then
smash off once more...
It would be pretty perfect if it does this, ideally from 6312
but that trend line at 6376 now can also arrest the fall,
maybe with a spike to 6312, maybe...if we see it settle, day
traders can think about the buy back to 6943 and then short
again hard if we see it touched.
Now for the downside potential this weekend:
Once the dynamic support line is broken at 6370ish it should
visit 6115, even 6017. Then at worst 6000 must hold up this
weekend..any failure here will likely trigger another wave of
panic selling back to 5100.
Lots of trades now it's gone so active this weekend probably.
Bitcoin: BTCUSD Stops need raising to protect weekend gainsBitcoin Update
Don't want this to turn over here now before China opens
but it could do without some buying power from 7460 level
to hold it up and then propel it through to a new high.
Want to protect gains by raising stop to just under 7450 on
at least half the position, if not all, according to risk profile.
Ideally it will trade sideways between high and 7460 and
then China could arrive to propel it substantially higher.
However it will need that power to take it higher from here.
So just in case it doesn't arrive, and it can only be deemed
50/50 chance in reality, we should protect the 400 points
made so far this weekend just in case the Chinese don't
come in to keep momentum going.
Also need to remain aware of just how high this has risen
and therefore just how low it could fall when buying power
wanes again. probably back to 6312, if not to 6165. If it
does we need to be flat and ready to buy again from lower
down. If 7450 gives way day traders will step in on short
side with stops above 7460 looking to drive prices lower still.
GBP/JPYOBSERVATION: Since September 2016 price has been ranging within a wedge. The 1D view is showing that price has closed below the bottom trendline and bounced back up to a resistance zone and closed below it. All EMAs are bearish and the 20 is about to cross over the 50. We could see the start of a downtrend so I will be entering short targeting first 131.650.
AUDCHF Reversal- H1 There is a lot to unpack here.
First, we see that this pennant pattern is soon to break to the upside.
Next, we see that there is divergence occurring with the RSI indicator and the Price action.
We would say go long here right around 0.7176 once this price action breaks these levels or resistance.
Let us know what you think!
DXY: BITCOIN BTCUSD Potential weekend hedge for a falling DollarDXY: Dollar index and Bitcoin: The Dollar has closed for the weekend on its lows and below critical supports and will get hit again hard on Monday. It should fall a further 1.7% from here over the coming week or two. But there is one potential way to hedge this situation: it depends on Bitcoin breaking above 2460. If it does it should be worth following this weekend. Please see Bitcoin comment for more details
USD BITCOIN: How to hedge against a falling $ this weekendDXY: Dollar Index The Dollar closed on its lows for the weekend and will likely be sold off heavily if not in Tokyo, in London come Monday. it should fall a further 1.7% from here.
But there could still be an opportunity this weekend to hedge - it depends on Bitcoin breaking above 2460. If it does, it should be worth following. Please see Bitcoin comment also.
USDCHF Trade Idea- Short Our strategy has three simple steps which are:
Step 1- Apply Indicators to Chart:
*20 Period SMA
*40 Period SMA
*80 Period SMA
Step 2- Identify the Trend. Price Action needs to break Moving Averages
Step 3- Wait for entire candle to close outside of Moving averages + Pull Back in Price Action + Continuation of Trend
**Broke below the moving averages.
**A full candle closed below the SMA lines
This trade has followed the criteria thus far.
let us know if you have any questions!
Reversal Setup?The Rules of this Trading Strategy Are:
Step One: Find the currency pair that is showing a high the last 50 candlesticks . (OR low depending on the trade)
Step Two: When we find 50 candle low, it needs to be coupled with RSI reading around 20 or lower. (If it’s a high it needs to be coupled with the RSI reading 80 or higher.)
Step Three: Wait for a second price (low candle) to close after the first one that we already identified.
Step Four: Wait for the price to head in the direction of the trade and wait for a candle to close above the first candle that you identified that was previous 50 candle low.
Step Five: Place Stop Loss-This strategy follows a 1 risk to 3 reward ratio entry/exit points.
Yesterday we had this idea but it bounced off of the trend line. We modified our entry for another potential sell area.
potential sell @1.88391
TP @ 1.86869

EURUSD week ahead overviewHello traders. Eur/usd overview for the week ahead.Currently price react of 61.8% Fibb level. We have well formed channel and head and shoulder pattern. From now on we looking at either respecting the second shoulder and 61.8% level , price breaking the channel and looking for Buy scalps on 15m chart along the way. The second scenario is if price does not respect the levels and continue on the downside breaking current low and formed trend line. From there on my plan is to start taking short scalps all the way down to 1.0350.
NZD/USD OUTLOOK LONGS FAVORABLE.NZD/USD OUTLOOK. NU finally broke above the 0.68736 level giving us a nice break retest this week. Added a fib retracing to the 78.60% level. Will be watching closely on market open for a pull back to execute a long to D2 extension (61.00%) level witch also is confluent with historical resistance 0.72315. If we do not see a pullback and my trading plan is not fulfilled we will simply stand aside and watch are prediction develop. Please check are Second post on NZD/USD Weekly for further confluences to the upside. Discipline is crucial stick to your plan.
AU - priming for a good short opportunityThis could be a good short opportunity down to 0.764-0.765. And assuming 0.77227 just became our new high (daily, 1hr), then could see that open the gates to fall down further.
Liking this for a short on Monday
Scalp opportunity:
TP1 0.764
Larger swing:
TP1 0.76164
TP2 0.757
TP3 0.74
EU - meh to the bottomRetracement is just a bit above 50% - that's OK in itself (fib is not a perfect science), so below 1.13800 I like this for a short. But there's some minor potential to see a little bit of growth towards 1.15 to burn some shorts before it dumps.
Will see how we go on Monday
If you wanted to be conservative, you could just wait for it to bounce off the bottom of the triangle as part of a support/resistance test, THEN short it - which would make entry around 1.12 on a retrace (pivot points, daily), with TP1 1.08 and TP2 1.05
Otherwise, enter below 1.138, TP1 1.15, TP2 1.10
