Banks gonna run? Why?Lets start with the establish trend, we have a lower high showing opportunity to continue to open up 2023. If you look closely you will see that we have a bullish hidden divergence. But does it have enough strength to blast through the Bullish line. If it does I can see it starting to fill those imbalance candles and attempt to make a higher high above 38.60. If the selling pressure pushes, I can see it hold my 31.48 bearish level.
This slight reangle of the uptrend will make things interesting if the trend rides the line for over 10 days then break.
2023 opening could be a path to cheaper puts for the rest of the year. We will see.

Game Of LiquidityHello traders
-Today we will talk about liquidity and its role.
What is liquidity?
-We will try to explain you as simple as possible what liquidity is and what you should be looking for when you want to spot it.
-There is a theory on the FX markets that the Big institutions (Smart money) are always trying to trap us and take our Stop losses.
-Retail education as we all know is based on patterns (double top,double bottom, trendlines, supp res zones etc...
-As new traders come fresh on the markets they can be easily manipulated and taken away from their money because they are 'easy pray for big boys.
-If you want to understand liquidity as simple as possible - when there is a trend line, double top pattern, there are retail stop losses and there is liquidity to be taken.
Example:
1) In this example, we see that the price is moving in a downtrend
2) Then the price slows down with momentum and starts to make a lot of liquidity.
3) We can see liquidity in the form of a trendline, double tops, etc.
4) A lot of retail traders lose their money here, while we patiently wait for our opportunity.
5) Our entry is at the strong supply zone, and the price reaches it when it picks up all SL of retail traders.
6) At the end, we see a liquidity sweep that mostly happens in one move, and here we open our position.
-Remember: This is the cat and mouse game. In order for one person to win someone else needs to take the loss. So our question is
Are you a cat or a mouse?
-If this post helped you better understand the concept of liquidity, leave a like. If you have any questions, write below in the comments.

JP MORGAN Ahead of a Golden Cross. Strong bullish signal!JP Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM) has basically turned sideways since November 11 (despite the marginal November 25 Higher High) putting a pause to the enormous 1-month rally since the October 12 bottom.
The big news on this chart is that the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) is about to cross above the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) to form the infamous pattern of the Golden Cross on the 1D time-frame. This is technically very bullish and in fact the last time we saw this formation was on November 13 2020, almost 2 years ago!
As with today, the price was again just below the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level, just a few days before the Golden Cross formation and after it was completed, started one of the strongest rallies in recent times, making a new All Time High on January 12 2021, essentially just 2 months after.
Now obviously that was the era of 'cheap money', when the Fed printed trillions of USD in a very short period of time to support the economy during the COVID lockdowns. We can't expect the stock to rally as fast and as aggressively but still, as long as the Golden Cross is formed and the 1D MA50 supports, we can target one Fibonacci level at a time.
Notice how similar the 2020 COVID recovery is with the 2022 (today) one. The 1W MA200 is in a symmetrical place, the 1D RSI was pulling back on the same fractal and the 1W MACD rebounded on the same level.

$LINK CHAINLINK Officially Found Bottom & Starting A Reversal Why LINK investors might be sitting on a goldmine thanks to proof of reserve
It is often difficult to find winners in the crypto market during a major crash but Chainlink might be it.
Even though its native currency LINK suffered significant downside so far this month, the Chainlink network
continued to see wins as a potential solution. Chainlink can facilitate the proof of reserve which might be the
ideal solution that may help solve some of the cracks unveiled during 2022’s market crash. Chainlink proof of
reserve may help overcome systemic financial risks, as well as contagion risk. Chainlink as an oracle services
provider stood in a position to help facilitate a large-scale adoption of proof of reserve.
Additionally, looking at the current scenario of the market, it could be considered as more of a necessity than
an option. The good thing is that it also offers an opportunity for the market to adapt and grow from recent
challenges. The need for large-scale proof of reserve adoption further outlines an opportunity for Chainlink’s
adoption. It underscores yet another reason why Chainlink’s offerings continue to add value and why the
network has robust long-term potential. Healthy long-term adoption might contribute to more value for LINK.
Chainlink did register healthy growth in the last 30 days.
For example, its supply of LINK held in smart contracts grew substantially during the last four weeks. The same
was observed for its velocity. Both the velocity and supply of LINK in smart contracts dropped significantly in the
last five days. This reflected the impact of last week’s crash on Chainlink’s performance. But will we see a recovery
this week? One of the best ways to assess demand was to look at the balances of top addresses. LINK’s supply of
top addresses registered a sizable drop in the last five days.
However, the good news was that the whales/top addresses are no longer selling. Regardless, we were yet to
see a return of strong buy pressure. Chainlink’s transfer volume also took a bit of a hit in the last few days.
Investors should thus, keep an eye out for the transfer volume to pivot as a confirmation that demand recovery.
Chainlink is a potential game-changer that investors have a keen eye on. The project was launched as an
avant-garde solution to streamline off-chain blockchain projects and transform them into on-chain platforms.
There is no question that LINK has opened a new world of possibilities regarding the intricate world of web3
development. As the company provides curated and in-demand solutions, it’s no surprise that top-tier names
such as Google Cloud, Polygon, and Aave have wholeheartedly embraced that project. Investors and analysts
are confident that Chainlink is on remarkable growth trajectory steering into 2023.
Expect New Alltime Highs Soon!

AUDJPYAUJPY broke up the descending channel . It has formed a short term uptrend. In order to buy I am waiting a break - retest of the resistance with a TP level close to the most recent solid resistance I spotted.
Otherwise, if it breaks the current support zoen and retest it pointing down I will go vice versa.
In general BoJ is more dovish while BoA is more aggressive in financial policies.
This makes the AUD more attractive for faster profit comparing to Yen and this might drive to further push to the upside cause the pair is mainly bullish over the last months.
Everything lays to the Break of structure mindset, just observations of where the price has/has no power to surpass and how can this action be depicted with big/ small body candles, wicks, velocity of price action etc. Some retracements are weak and the reversal is easy to be spotted. Other retracements are strong and many traders, included me, can be confused if the break & retest is not valid but in fact the setup might be proven right in the end (despite tight SL which is considered a wrong placed exit point.). It depends on what is the lot size, risk management, in which way someone wants to press him/herself, how much can afford to loose etc.
News can whipsaw and create momentarily fakeouts and push to SL hits and drawdowns. The same applies with big players' games behind the closed doors during weekends. That's why I avoid to put tight SL because it is quite predictable and it is seen by brokers, banks etc.
The above, make me avoid trading on Mondays and after 16:00 on Fridays.
Hope that I help a bit!
Goodl luck!
