AB=CD
NASDAQ Bearish Time WindowPrice likes to move in AB=CD price structures where there is a time and price element in the pattern. The AB is equal to CD on a time and price basis the CD leg being a 100 level expansion of the AB leg. This particular price structure here on the NASDAQ has two possible AB=CD patterns in play. The blue ab=cd is what I call a hidden time window because it is much harder to see. The black AB=CD is the traditional time window and it is usually much easier to find. The bearish harmonic pattern that I have highlighted is what gives the AB=CD patterns their price structures. The BC legs are found by using the A and D swings on the harmonic pattern. Once you are able to spot a likely AB leg you can use it to anticipate price and time which is how I have defined the downside target area.
AUDUSD - Good ol' Head & Shoulder in the making AUDUSD has been hit pretty strong by the news that popped up an hour ago, USD getting more and more strengh as it showed more inflation than expected.
Here we have a nice Head & Shoulder in the making, and price is grinding the neck line as I'm writing,
I'm already in position, as I've entered a little bit before the news, my trade is at break even now so, it's a free ride
If price happens to break the neck line, well then, we gonna see some blood on the chart!
In addition of the H&S we have what could be an ABCD push in process as well. And finally, as you can see on the chart, we first broke the ascending trendline, then price made a flag right around the trendline, which it used to retest the trendline, then, price broke the flag, and retested it so, I'm no expert but, that's a lot of evidences going in favor of a short, I wouldn't be surprised if the neck line was broke, to see price fall to the target area at 0.675
Cheers guys and safe trading!!!
DXY - ABCD pushHey there!
Here is the analysis concerning DXY for the following week. It looks like we've past the previous week trying to get in the rebound for what could be a continuation of the movement upward of the dollar, the C point.
Last week the market was consolidating after the big push of the dollar two weeks ago. DXY is pushing strong, supported by the fresh US news that popped out last weeks, showing that the US economy is pretty resilient. Therefore, the market is anticipating the fed reaction.
We're in this situation now where, Fed has been pushing rates higher for quiet a while to try to prevent inflation from devastating the economy, but, if the US datas are showing signs that the economy isn't slowing down then, the Fed might have to raise again the interest rates, or maintain them high longer then expected, pushing away the date the Fed pivot and then making the dollar still attractive compared to other currencies for which interest rates are under hte Fed's Level.
From a TA point of view, we're continuing the rebound that started around the 100 level, last week we broke and retested the 102.5 level crossing and retesting the upper trendline of the descnding channel DXY was in for months.
All of this is bullish signs for DXY that tend to make me say we might be into a trend reversal, at least temporarely.
I'm expecting dollar strenght this week, fueled by the news. From previous news, seems like there's a divergence between the market expectation and the actual numbers, in other words, market is being very emotionnal right now. Let me explain, the Fed has done everything to counter the inflation, its strategy being to slow the economy down, in order to lower the buying power of the working class, so the prices would drop. But, if datas are showing that the economy is still strong then well, Fed, the job isn't done, so you gatta do something about it.
Only 2 options really :
1) Datas show economy/inflation is slowing down => Fed will take it easy, Dollar will eventually fall
2) Datas show that economy and inflation is not slowing down => Fed will raise the interest rates higher, or keep them higher longer => Dollar will keep on rising
This week, we have inflation rate US and US CPI. If CPI is better than expected then Dollar will shoot up. Inflation is different because it's a lagging indicator, so even if it's falling down now, but that the US economy is working full speed then, the working class will eventually level up to inflation, but then, the FED looses at containing inflation under or around 2%
Well, we'll see, but, I'm bullish on DXY for this week, and will actively look for short on XXXUSD pairs, and for longs on USDXXX pairs,
Cheers everyone and safe trading!!
Gold ForecastGold Forecast
Gold is in a bullish cycle, and we will look for long opportunities when we see a clear 3 legs-down corrective structure. Unfortunately, the connector (B) of the current (A)(B)(C) is too shallow and it does not retrace enough according to our strategy to allow us to enter when the price reaches the IZ (grey zone). We do expect the price will bounce from the IZ, but it can be only the connector from a deeper (W)(X)(Y), so we are not going to take this trade.
What to do? 2 scenarios:
-The prices resume the bullish cycle ->We should wait for the price to break the 1,960 level before looking for buying opportunities.
-The price makes a deeper correction-> A new IZ will be created, and we will analyze its structure to check whether it is tradable or not.
In any case, we will keep you updated on the TRS community
Please remember to do not to risk more than 2% of your account on each trading idea
XLMUSD: Falling Wedge Sitting Above Support/Resistance ZoneXLM has showing Bullish Divergence within this Falling Wedge at the very important Support/Resistance zone at around 9 cents and looks to be ready to brakout soon. If it does Breakout i think it will start an AB=CD move that would take it to the 1.618 at $3.10 but the measured move of the wedge alone would take it to the much more conservative 0.886 target up at $0.35 this will likely move whenever XRP decides to move.
LONDON: GBPUSD ABCD/EXT LIMIT ATRPrice has pumped to a very strong key level and neckline of higher timeframe double top. Now we may see the dump play out and have entered using our ABCD/EXT setup which calls for a SL using our ATR on our trading timeframe. Big potential for downside if price does fall
TRXUSD: Cup With Handle Visible on the MonthlyTRX had a similarly Bullish ABCD BAMM Pattern on the FTX chart but that has since played out and gotten shut down. Now we move on to currently active exchanges and we can still see a Potential ABCD BAMM and a Cup With Handle; if we can stay above the moving averages i suspect we will pump to the measured move between the 1.414 and 1.618 Fibonacci Extensions above.
