Break-out: XVG needed a "big green Heikin Ashi candle" & got it!

Disclosure: this is a repost of my Feb 12 Tradingview idea. Unfortunately, it was taken down by admin because it contained some external links. Until today, I always included links to i) my website, ii) interesting other sources. Unfortunately, my ideas that contained links have now been hidden (it's against policy). Given that I found the post crucial to trade XVG, I am reposting it, albeit the break-out has now occurred.

This was the post: "XVG needs a big green Heikin Ashi candle to break out!"
"Lots of indecisiveness in the Verge graph. In this post, we are diving into the matter with Heikin Ashi candles, which are very practical for identifying trend reversals.

We indeed see several Doji candles (1 & 2) and some spinning tops (similar to Doji candles but with some difference in open and closing prices, whereas for Dojis, this if virtually the same (i.e. Open and close are more or less equal).

Normally, Doji candles or spinning tops are very useful in Heikin Ashi candle analysis to identify a trend reversal. You can see examples in 3 and 4.

Now, if we look at where we are today (on Feb 12, red.), we see a lot of indecisive candles, ànd we are nearing the end of the triangle formation (two white lines drawn). As you might remember from previous posts, triangles typically go hand in hand with break-outs. We need a big green candle here to confirm an upward trend reversal. We are not seeing that yet, so best to stay on the sidelines.

We àlso see a golden cross forming in the MACD daily, which is generally extremely bullish , so that speaks in favour of more upward momentum coming soon.

Conclusion:
--> Keep a close eye on the new Heikin Ashi candles forming
as these will tell us a great deal of what will come next. It might even be a large uptake!"

Update Feb 16-17: The break-out has occurred! Too bad some of you probably couldn't see this previous post anymore and make the trade. BUT: you see we have broken the Fibonacci resistance level at 779 sat, which we will likely retest before going up to our next target: 1008sat! So still some nice profit potential ;-)

And remember: look out for those infamous Heikin Ashi doji candles (see above) as they will tell us when we can expect a trend reversal (down). In the meanwhile: Verge looking good. Attention points: we don't want to see Verge falling through its new found support at the Fibonacci retracement of 779 sat; we can expect further upward movement now and aim to reach the 1008 sat.

So the green Heikin Ashis are looking good. If you see a "doji" or "spinning top" (see above) appearing on the 4h Heikin Ashi chart, beware!
