Bearish Engulfing
GBPUSD & Second Referendum Brexit?I have read that the Labour Party would vote for a second Brexit referendum. I am not sure wether that is bullish or bearish for the sterling. The market is one moody bugger who changes its mind so much. One day, this kind of news would be bullish for sterling, one day it becomes bearish. However, this fresh news (about potential second referendum now that no deals have been strucked with months before deadline) creates more uncertainty, and any uncertainty potentially negative for the Sterling.
Technically, GBPUSD have reached and exceeded its monthly range projection (high), as always, I will always shift my mid-term bias into a "retracement mode". Coincidentally, price reacted bearishly and formed Bearish Engulfing Candle on the Daily TF. I have made an extension projection based on this to a 61.8% extension. I am zooming in to Hour One timeframe and look for a short opportunity and target the weekly range projection low (almost = to the Daily 61.8% extension)

My most recent Bitcoin Bubble Comparison led to the following predictions: 1 day - 28 days = < $5,750 | bottom prediction: $2,860 by 10/30
Previous analysis / position: Identified resistance cluster from $6,67 - $6,887 that I believed will be the top of this bounce / Short ETH:BTC from 0.03143 | Short EOS:ETH from 0.0252326
Patterns: Descending triangle
Horizontal support and resistance: R: $6,539 | Weak S: $6,450
BTCUSDSHORTS: Looks toppy with hanging man and then extended range.
Funding Rates: Shorts pay longs 0.0384%
12 & 26 EMA’s (calculate % difference): 12 is being tested for resistance | 26 = -2.05%
50 & 128 MA’s: 50 = -4.28% | 128 = -7.53%
Volume: Declining volume while price rises on 1h
FIB’s: 0.618 = $6,637 | 0.786 = $6,414
Candlestick analysis: Daily doji | 4h bearish engulfing tweezer top
Ichimoku Cloud: 4h cloud providing resistance. Thick cloud with flat top says it will be strong from $6,500 - $6,750 | Add this to the resistance cluster mentioned in yesterday’s post
TD’ Sequential: Daily on a green 4. Top on the 4h 9 mentioned yesterday.
Visible Range: Looking back to February when we have continued to test this price makes the most sense and it shows the point of control at $6,514 and a high volume node up to $6,724
BTC’ Price Spreadsheet: 12h = -0.02% | 24h = - | 1w = +1.38% | 2w = -9.98% | 1m = +4.49%
Bollinger Bands: A return to the MA at $6,743 is to be expected after bouncing from the bottom band
Trendline: At this pace we will test the top of the descending triangle at $7,031
Daily Trend: Chop
Fractals: Up = $7,475 | Down = $6,065
On Balance Volume: Moving with price / no div’s
ADX: ADX fell below 25 indicating trendless market.
Chaikin Money Flow: Bouncing from oversold zones on weekly. Pulling back from overbought zones on daily.
RSI (30 setting): W = 48.98 | D = 46.51
Stoch: Daily buy signal is trending up.
Summary: I am starting to think that we are going to see the price resist below the original cluster that I was looking at. I would be surprised if we break through that daily doji from yesterday. That is when I expected the rally to $6,700+
Instead we were unable to test $6,660 and now the 4 hour chart is showing serious signs of a top. The high volume sell off followed by the bearish engulfing tweezer top is a strong indication that we will continue down from here.
Nevertheless the shorts remain at all time high territory and are showing significant signs of a top themselves. Will be get one more squeeze that takes us to $6,700 - $6,800 or will we sell off from here? I would say it is about 55%:40% and 5% other.
Here is my ETH:USD chart. The pale red box is where I want to build my next short position. The dark red boxes are shorts that have been called on this blog.
I also have an order set to short EOS:BTC at 0.0007474 and I am 66% entered on my EOS:ETH short at 0.0252326. Click here for my EOS analysis.

I did another in depth bubble comparison yesterday and have amended my short term projections. Click here to read that analysis. 1 day - 28 days = < $5,750 | bottom prediction: $2,860 by 10/30
Previous analysis / position: “$6,789 and $6,343 are my key areas of support...If you are not in position then now is not the time to chase! Wait for a bounce and then be ready to short...If you did enter in the last few days then now is the time to adjust stop losses to breakeven.” / Closed ETH:BTC short at +77% with intention to re enter if we bounce. Still short ETH:USD. Took profit on 33% of position improving my average cost basis to $317.37 per ETH.
Patterns: Weekly tweezer top. Descending triangle.
Horizontal support and resistance: R: $6,476 - $6,500 | S: $6,268 - $6,347
BTCUSDSHORTS: Approaching all time high levels.
Funding Rates: Shorts pay longs 0.0815%
12 & 26 EMA’s (calculate % difference): 12 = -6.79% | 26 = -6.14% | Very surprised that they have yet to make a bearish crossover.
50 & 128 MA’s: 50 = -8.53% | 128 = -11.05%
Volume: Big volume spike yesterday provided confirmation that the sell off was not a trap. Very surprised by the volume today. Currently 2X average and still more than 6 hours left!
FIB’s: 0.886 at $6,262 predicted current bounce.
Candlestick analysis: Bearish engulfing weekly candle has started every sell off in this bear market. Provides great confirmation for the bears. Weekly tweezers have also been very reliable/powerful.
Ichimoku Cloud: “Best entries occur when everything flips at once” Looks like this is getting ready to happen on 4h. Incoming TK’s cross + likely bearish kumo flip + just started trading below the cloud.
TD’ Sequential: 4h chart is currently on a green 1 that was a red 9. Interested to see if we bounce. Daily provided entry with R2 < R1.
Visible Range: Short term gap from $6,480 - $6,880 has been filled. A bounce back to $6,880 to test for resistance seems likely.
BTC’ Price Spreadsheet: 12h = +0.31% | 24h = -7.97% | 1w = -7.89% | 2w = -3.90% | 1m = -1.36%
Bollinger Bands: Almost touched bottom band on yesterday’s selloff. Expect MA at $6,787 to become strong resistance.
Trendline: Connect July 26th to September 4th.
Daily Trend: Bearish
Fractals: Down at $6,231 represents key area of support.
On Balance Volume: Moving down w price
ADX: -DI crossed above +DI as expected and they are quickly diverging. ADX crossing 20 indicates that the range should be over and we should be ready to trend again.
Chaikin Money Flow: Moving down with price.
RSI (30 setting): W = 48.69 | D = 45.02 | Pulling back below 50 provides further confirmation for bears. Expecting a return to 30 before thisj bear market is over.
Stoch: Pulling back sharply on daily. Made a bearish crossover on 3d.
Summary: There is plenty of confirmation that indicates yesterday’s selloff was only the start. Specifically I am referring to the: Bollinger Bands, RSI, ADX, VRVP, weekly bearish engulfing / tweezer top.
The only two factors pointing to the contrary are: btcusdshorts nearing ATH’ and the funding rates being very expensive for short sellers. This tells me that we could see a sharp spike to $6,800 - $7,00 before continuing the sell off. If this happens it will provide a tremendous selling opportunity.
If you are not in a position then be prepared for that outcome. If you are in a position then taking some off the table with the intention to re open if we bounce makes a lot of sense to me.
There is also the possibility that short sellers blow through the all time high levels and go on a bit of a parabolic run themselves. This seems more likely than usual due to how fast they have risen over the last few days. That tells me the positions are being held by a small number of traders. I get concerned when everyone and their UBER driver’s are opening short positions and that doesn’t appear to be the case this time around.
GBPUSD two-way planThe No-Deal Brexit jitters potentially pressure the Sterling in mid-term. I am picking two directions within a general GBPUSD mid-term bearish bias.
Left Hand Side Chart is H4 Timeframe. Right Hand Side Chart is H1 Timeframe
For Plan A : I am marking yesterday's daily pivot + 1.29000 price and I want to see how the market will react upon reaching it. A bearish engulfing candle in H1 timeframe will trigger me to short the GBPUSD. Target will be as illustrated by the arrow.
For Plan B : If the price test today's daily pivot and see a strong bullish reaction from it, I will be LONG and target will be as illustrated by the arrow.

US 30 Trendline Test Rejection: Imminent ThrowoverCompare/contrast to 11/12 June top and throwover. Bearish engulfing candle. Shooting stars. On intraday we saw hanging man twice, and shooting star in SPX 8/.21.
Expect imminent throwover to entry on wave C of ABC ZigZag correction pattern within days, after reaching all-time high on SPX 8/21, US 30 25888 at Fibo 0.786 from Jan 26 high. Target 23531.
Possibly one more rally attempt to trendline on 8/23, then swoon; or just start lower back down into Bear Flag channel now.
As always, this is not investment advice and all comments are only intended for education and amusement. Good luck!
EURCHF - Bearish Engulfing Pattern at a turning pointEURCHF
The currency pair is in a downtrend according to the strong bearish setup of the moving averages.
In the video of this morning, we were already considering a short position on it, but now we have a clear candlestick pattern, a bearish engulfing.
Stop loss and take profit may be selected to have a RR that is at least 1:2.
AUDJPY - Short Trade Idea on a Double TopAUDJPY
There are several reasons to consider a short position on this currency pair:
1. Bearish setup with the moving averages;
2. Double top formation;
3. Green moving average working as a dynamic resistance;
4. Bearish engulfing pattern;
5. Price in a main downtrend.
The risk to reward ratio is 1:2, so definitely a trade to try.
Dow in correction wave XYZ; expect lower soonThis is a 3-3-3 corrective wave pattern forming. Looks like we had 3 strong down waves in 'W'; 3 smaller up waves today for an 'X';
The 'Y' should start very soon, will likely open with a gap down and should carry index to near same decline as 'W' or ~520 points to 24818.
I do not see an ABC pattern here, as there are no 5 wave impulses in the W or X waves.
As always I am not an investment advisor, and this is not advice, it's for education and amusement. Good luck!
GBPUSD - Bearish englufing!A bearish engulfing candle has formed as the price moves closer to the resistance level of this bearish channel. It looks like to me that the price of this pair is going to be negative over the next few days. I think the price would move down from here towards the support level of the channel, we have seen a shooting star form as well, which makes this signal much more significant. I will keep everyone updated on this pair over the coming days. If anyone needs any help just comment or private message me and I will try my best to help.
USDJPY HAS REACHED ITS FIRST LOWER HIGH AFTER SUNDAYS SPIKE DOWNHere I'm on the 15min. time frame at the first lower high from yesterdays spike down. I'm waiting fore price to show me a trustworthy bearish engulfing setup. The candles in the red box are a bearish engulfing pattern but the red EMA is not over the blue yet. The yellow box is an engulfing pattern as well and the red EMA is now clearly over the blue. Now waiting for the next candle to close bearish in the blue box. Once that happens I will place a sell order after the close of the bearish candle in the blue box.
EU Weekly Chart Up - Melting Point? We’ve reached a critical point with EU this week. Clearly reaching a credible retest for the weekly bearish engulfing after tapping 38.2 (weekly fib). EU has been down trending ever since we broke out of the daily range @1.222. Daily is creating higher highs, 4h is looking bullish. The decision boils down to the trendline (break or respect). If we break this trendline we’re looking for short-term buys. We may just come to a higher prz on the weekly TF.
If the trendline is respected, we’re more than likely to see this market drop (thank that weekly engulf). Expecting a moderate retrace due to the higher high on the daily TF. Good luck on your trading week.
Cheers,

Long term WTI outlookWe had a decent steep decline in price but as always price has to correct itself. Weekly s1 was a good place to start that correction. Right now we could be looking at a strong resistance at 23% fibo of previous wave or even 38%(which I think is less likely looking at the bearish momentum we got). I'll add to my shorts again near the green dotted line. Huge negative divergence on a weekly chart, price action and candlestick formation(bearish engulfing) makes me confident in continuation of the newly formed downtrend.
BTC Trapped in 50 and 100 MA on 1D!The new candle on 1 day chart had just formed as we just close the day per UTC.
The new candle is bearish engulfing candle that embody 2 previous candles and it just makes the pattern looks like three falling pattern.
As we see, the pullback as the over sold on 4hour has make a channel that ready to break down.
The channel on 1D chart formed from 50 MA and 100 MA.
I think we need to hold the above 50 MA to make sure that we still on the bull market.
In addition, the hidden bearish divergence on very big channel scares me.
Before, i didn't see it as hidden bearish divergence because we break very hard resistance from All Time High, but now, in 3 previous days i don't see the way that we back to the bull track even when the consensus 2018 is being held. And, i don't see the consensus bring fresh money yet till the 2nd day.
Be safe guys! I hope this can help you to consider your position :)
