ETHUSD update: Price is hesitating just under the 494 to 518 minor resistance zone after taking out the bearish trend line. This is a tricky situation because at first glance, this market appears to be forming a lower high and following the recent "trend". What is not visible is the probability of the location of BTC which we have been reiterating is bullish and...
BTCUSD update: Inside bar formation leads to price spike into the 6431 to 6614 resistance zone. This should not be that surprising if you have been following my recent articles on S.C. and on here. The bearish trend line which was compromised in this move is the first confirmation that a broader bullish move is in progress. It all started with the pin bar 8 days...
ETHUSD update: Inside bar has materialized which sets the stage for the next move in this market. With the bearish structure still intact, an attempt toward the 392 reversal zone boundary is likely. The structure to watch for though is a higher low formation between current prices and 392. This would be the bullish confirmation that a broader movement toward...
BTCUSD update: After the 6170 long trigger, price tested the 6431 to 6614 minor resistance zone quickly. This also happens to be where the bearish trend line is located. This type of price action is not a surprise since we have been writing about the high probability location for at least two weeks now. The 6K psychological support, reversal zone boundaries at...
ETHUSD update: This market is poised to rally. The break of the 443 previous candle high was a long trigger. I am not calling any trade ideas on here because that is what S.C. is for, but I will highlight the potential. Price went as low as 405 which looked ugly, but the key is how the candle closes. This candle that established the low closed strong, and it this...
BTCUSD update: Price has taken out the previous spinning top low which is a bearish sign. Even though this is the case, the 6K and 5956 reversal zone supports are still in play. If this move fails to make a new low, this market will still be in position for a sharp squeeze. 5755 is the low that needs to be taken out in order to prove bearish momentum is still in...
ETHUSD update: Similar to the bottoming pattern in BTC, this market is now in a high probability area to retrace. What makes this market even more interesting is the fact that the current low is still no where near the 374 low. A rally here is not only a broader sign of strength, but offers greater potential compared to a counter trend retrace. Earlier today on...
BTCUSD update: Small retrace back into the 6K psychological support. The 6350 area is now a lower high, but if this market was going to sell hard, the bearish candle should have been larger. Instead, price stops at the major support which hints at a higher low. What I find most interesting is how the negative sentiment is at an extreme (judging by all the bearish...
ETHUSD update: As BTC aggressively took out it's buy trigger earlier today, this market has not. 475.50 is the pin bar high that will signal bullish momentum is in effect. The lack of follow through is not that surprising given the general sentiment, but the probability of the location is still key. Earlier today on S.C., we sent out a swing trade long idea to...
BTCUSD update: Bullish pin bar forming off of the 6K psychological support area. This should not be very surprising since the probability in this area favors such activity. Now is the time to prepare for the next leg higher. The first consideration is long potential. On S.C., we have been constantly writing about the opportunity at these lows for position...
ETHUSD update: Short term price action is poised to test the 423 reversal zone boundary as an inside bar is now present on this time frame. A break of the 454 low would be the signal for further weakness, but as ugly as this market looks, do not lose sight of the broader location. When things look obvious, that usually means everyone is thinking the same thing....
BTCUSD update: Bearish momentum is still asserting itself and price may be entering the 5956 reversal zone boundary. Often movements like this will have the attention seekers out in full force screaming that 3K is coming. Pay attention to the price action and nothing else. In terms of probability, price is now in an area very attractive for buying, not...
ETHUSD update: Price has reached the bearish trend line and is now hesitating. This is not unusual and was expected, that is why we placed our swing trade target at 540. The question is: what is price more likely to do from here? Lower low? Higher low? Or continuation higher? In case you have not been following our swing trade on S.C., it reached its 55 point...
BTCUSD update: Bearish pin bar low taken out by current candle, a sell signal, only for it to bounce right back. This is a bullish sign which makes sense in light of the general area price has been trading. Keep in mind, there is a great deal of conflict in this area with short term bearish structures going against a broader bullish location. People are going to...
LTCUSD update: A strong outside bar has appeared in this market which can be the beginning of the next retest of the bearish trend line. The current hesitation though can be cause for concern, depending on how the candle closes. Keep in mind, this market is following BTC which means even in the face of bearish structure, the greater potential remains bullish. The...
ETHUSD update: When the day to day momentum dries up as is the case with these coins, it is always helpful to zoom out. This is where Elliott Wave offers a lot of value because it shows us where we are on the bigger picture map, and most likely where this market is going. People give Elliott Wave a hard time because they expect precision and that is not what it...
BTCUSD update: Symmetrical triangle has appeared after a series of inside bars. This continuation pattern implies lower prices, but the bigger picture location makes for a very conflicted technical situation. The break of this triangle points increases the possibility of a retest of the 5956 reversal zone boundary. Or just above that at the 6005 historical...
ETHUSD update: Lack of follow through makes this coin a tough one to hold for a swing trade long, but it is still in a good position to rally. While short term structure remains bearish, do not lose sight of the broad higher low formation that appears to be in progress. The structures that prompted us at S.C. to call for a swing trade long are still in place. The...
