The "reason" KRAKEN:XMRUSD RIPPED to $339 overnight was because of a hack: Nine hours ago a suspicious transfer was made from a potential victim for 3520 BTC ($330.7M) Theft address bc1qcrypchnrdx87jnal5e5m849fw460t4gk7vz55g Shortly after the funds began to be laundered via 6+ instant exchanges and was swapped for XMR causing the XMR price to spike 50%....

I thought I read that NASDAQ:TSLA was going down and Elon was going broke. Earnings were going to assure it. Looks like it came and went and instead went bullish. Oh well, you can't rely on narratives: Only Technicals! The 218.65 Volume Profile Level has been holding TSLA up for weeks now. Great long by the way. And as long as it holds the next major VP...

The general sentiment coming into this week is that the bear trend is over and "things are fine." Maybe. This morning there was a 30m opening spike on NASDAQ:QQQ I cannot ignore. It is happening right at the big Daily 50% Retracement of the leg down: The level is even more prominent on Nasdaq futures and one can add the Volume Profile Point of Control to...

Am I crazy to be looking at a manufacturing play right now considering the tariff trade wars going on? The stock right now has a forward dividend yield of 8.65% at the current price with a technical setup. There are fundamentals around tariffs to consider but that could only be the "reason" the price has come to a great buy. I set an alert almost a year ago in...

All over the media eyes are on yields but what exactly do the different potential rates of the 10-year yield mean in terms of debt servicing for the United States? I made this chart to visualize the danger points. I am not saying I think we will get there I just wanted to know myself and help others to understand what each pain point can mean to the United...

...like a middle schooler, why Monero over the last year with delistings, without ETFs, and without Strategic Reserves has outperformed Bitcoin?

My plan will be to look to trade major Supports on Bitcoin: 67k: Major volume profile node of prior range, 50% Retracement of the pre-ETF low > ATH, 89EMA) 63k: Secondary volume profile node of prior range, 50% Retracement of the whole bull cycle.

This last week was interesting to say the least but the most interesting thing to watch was the incredibly influx of volume into INDEX:BTCUSD As the week progressed into Thursday and Friday and equity markets sold off big the volume of trading in Bitcoin more than doubled... yet the price remained stagnant. A month ago I did a study of correlation and...

Bitcoin volume is exploding today. The Maxi's are trying to close it green on the day to advertise it as a "Safe Haven Asset." We are watching an All-In to keep it above 79k Support. Will they win?

Reddit NYSE:RDDT has entered my textbook "Valley of Risk" period where the stock has a chance to hold its 50% Retracement of a major trend, fails, and even now has the added confirmation of retesting said 50% Support as overhead Resistance. There is now only the gap level at 104.90 which if broken will probably fill. Then it will be on to test the post-IPO...

Serious question. Asking traders in the community that are more students of the methodology than myself. I keep a casual eye on NASDAQ:INTC and have since the big drop last August that took it to juicy decadal lows. That alone had me interested in picking it up. Smarter minds than myself that follow chipmakers more closely have educated me to the fact that...

The news is catching up (two weeks late) to the stock market heading into bear territory but that is NOT the whole picture! Investors need to know that there are winners out there in quality stocks as the risky YOLO plays (tech, crypto) are losing. This specific rotation perfectly fits the model of the stock market rolling over into bearish territory. Follow the money!

I think that people might hate this pick... but I love "hated" tickers. NYSE:DG came up on my 30m Spike scan this morning amid a sea of red and tanking "risk on" stocks. This indicates some interesting opening price action this morning as a "hey, come look at me!" This action is happening in the context of a clear rotation into "safe" stocks like Consumer...

A Palantir, if you did not know, is otherwise known as a crystal ball; a seeing stone. It was what Saruman used in Lord of the Rings to "see" and that ultimately led to his corruption by Sauron. I've seen this stock corrupt the career of aspiring traders... I was asked my advice on Palantir NASDAQ:PLTR . I don't like to give "advice" on what for other...

TVC:VIX is the tool I use for market timing. It tells us a lot. When it spikes to a Resistance (often 50% of the last major high) that tends to be a market bottom. But when you see what it is doing the last few weeks: Closing sustainably higher each bar... you know the market is pricing in more volatility. VIX is known as the "fear index" and you can...

The German Stock Index XETR:DAX made a new All Time High yesterday only to close back inside the high's recent price action. This sets up a clear Spike with today's close back inside. Many signs in the US stock market are pointing to the market turning over for at least a bearish correction. I'll be watching the XETR:DAX for a bearish play of this Spike:...

I have read different speculations on what might happen to the price of Bitcoin if the stock market were to crash. I am going to answer this using statistics, correlations, and examples of events from market history. This post will not speculate on the current nor future price movements of Bitcoin and Stocks; only their connection. I will be using the...

Crypto investors need to be aware of Monero and its historic performance tendencies especially on a day like today. It has become the only cryptocurrency in which I think has actual USEFUL value in terms of being used as an '"currency". KRAKEN:XMRUSD for the last several years has functioned much like a stablecoin albeit with a lot of volatility. It trades...
