XRPBTC Test of Support !?Hello Traders! Today’s update will be on XRPBTC coming out of a nice strong breakout with convincing volume! Points to consider, - Strong resistance broken - Volume climax - Support at .382 Fibonacci (S/R Flip) - Stoch’s showing downwards momentum - RSI testing structural support, needs to return to neutral territory - EMA’s yet to meet price XRP has broken a very key resistant level with follow through, test upper Fibonacci levels and respecting the .786 line. Noticeable strong bull volume confirmed that this was not a false break leading to a nice 14% + gain… Currently price has retraced, most likely due to BTC’s recent correction, XRP should test its now support previous resistance and confirm before heading further up… Signs are showing that this retest may come to fruition as the RSI is way over extended; it needs to cool off and return to neutral territory. The stochastics is showing us downwards momentum being projected; there is a high probability that XRP does test support to cool of other indicator. The EMA’s are yet to meet price fully, although we do have a bullish cross however a test will confirm if price hold or breaks the EMA’s… What are your thoughts on XRPBTC? Will it test its new support or break through it? Please leave a like and comment And remember, “There is no single market secret to discover, no single correct way to trade the markets. Those seeking the one true answer to the markets haven’t even gotten as far as asking the right question, let alone getting the right answer.” – Jack Schwager

BTC (BTC/USDT, 1D): Bulls Defended the Middle of the ChannelThe coin fell off its uptrend acceleration. Currently, bulls defended the middle of the channel and on 4H chart, RSI is trying to form a bullish divergence. In order to continue an upward movement, the price should jump back on the dynamic line. The dynamic line is going to be the first resistance point for now. If we gonna break down the middle of the channel, then we gonna go to the lower support levels, which are 0.5 fibo level(8700-8900) and 0.3 fibo level. If you are in position - better to keep stop loss right under the middle of the channel. If you don't have a position - better keep your buy orders at 0.5 and 0.3 fibo levels. And in case if bulls decide to pull the price up from the current point - enter from a retest of the dynamic line. Good luck everyone!

BITCOIN | Downwards Breakout Confirmation Area!Hi, I'm back in business. A little vacation is over, batteries are charged and I'm fully ready to give some trading opportunities from different markets. Obviously, the biggest interest is on BTC and I'll start from it. After my last analysis, the price has printed a new mid-term lower high, which was slightly expected. The movement started just some dollars before the marked area but still, the overall sentiment was correct. After the drop from 11k, during my vacation, the BTC price has drifted between 10k and 11k. On the Daily timeframe (picture is below of this post), we have an interesting "sign". Actually, this is not a sign, the price has got multiple rejections from the psychological number $10,000. The fall, which started from the beginning of August(from 12k), guided the price down around 10k and this 10k has held the Daily candles (after touching it) 8 times!! You should know that those round numbers work as great support/resistance levels but that's not all. There is also the trendline; 6 times out of 8 while the price has touched 10k it has also touched the trendline. So, those two makes the current support area pretty strong which has held the price since the mid of August. If we look at the mentioned support area from a price action perspective, then I don't see any great bullish candlestick formation from the mentioned 10k area. Yes, there are some Dojis but nothing reliable. Plus, the support looks strong but the price just doesn't get that needed momentum to go upwards, which leads us into the other hidden sign - if the price stays too long into a strong area then it decreases a likelihood of the bounce. Plus+ on a Daily timeframe, we have an Evening Star candlestick formation (bearish). At the moment, it is still valid and it can work out but we need a bit more secure confirmation. Luckily, we have them! As you understand, for me, the higher probability setup is downwards. If it goes upwards then great for those who are in longs but to me, it means nothing. No trades, no profits, no losses. Usually, if this occurs I'm just a little bit sad that the price did not reach into my great confirmation area ;) The trade type is a breakout trade, not my favorite but the current confirmation area is pretty clean and easily readable. The movement downwards should be confirmed after the candle close (at least 1H, better would be 4H or Daily) inside or slightly below the marked red area , then we have a confirmed...: 1. Candle close below the psychological level $10,000. 2. Candle close below the black trendline which has held the price since 9th June. 3. Candle close below short-term red and blue trendlines. Those trendlines are also short-term counter trendlines. They match really nicely with our confirmation area and I really like those counter-trendlines breakout setups. 4. Those blue trendlines make a chart pattern called triangle and after a candle close inside the red area the price has also made a breakout downwards from the triangle, which adds a bit more strength into our breakout trade opportunity. 5. Candle close inside the marked area will be a confirmation for a new short-term lower low +. We have an impulse wave from 12k which can drive the price down. +. We have a valid Daily bearish candlestick pattern Evening Star. So, wait for a 1H or 4H candle close inside the marked area. A perfect scenario should look like - a candle close $9,850-$9,950, wait for a 10k retest to get a better entry and sell it is. If it goes upwards right away? WHATEVER, for me, this red area is a place where multiple levels get cracked and I'll wait for that. I just can't see any great price action for upwards and even if I see some signs then I don't want to share it because still, the selling confirmation area stays much stronger. Daily: Please, take a second and support my effort by hitting the "LIKE" button, it is my only FEE from You! Do your own research and if this matching with mine then you are ready to go! Good luck, Vaido

ALGORAND SMALL PUSH BEFORE BINANCE PURGE?In this ALGO/BTC chart we can see a descending wedge forming and almost completeing. With this hour close if we close outside the wedge we could ALGO take a nice quick pop. In a few of the last patterns we can see on the same low time frame this isnt the first time algo has done this. It runs down and pumps up quite a bit. I think well take a bet it does the same thing again. Ive picked up a small bag and riding it out to my targets of 600 and 650 sats.

BITCOIN | New Lower High (LH)!?Hi, After the drop from $12,000 to $9,500, the Bitcoin price and altcoins have made some short-term gains. The bounce came from the trendline which printed a new Higher Low. In general, the price has started to move between two trendlines. From the top, we have nice and clean Lower Highs, from the bottom, as said, nice and clean Higher Lows. It all indicates that we are approaching the tip of the triangle which is one month away. After the breakout from the triangle, we can set a mid-term direction but before that let's try to catch some short-term trading opportunities. At the moment it is somewhat risky because we are in the middle of the pattern and trading inside of it can make trades more vulnerable. We have higher lows and lower highs which also makes it a bit more complicated but still, I would like to point out a resistance area which can play a significant role in the near future. It stays between the black upper trendline and $10,950 (marked as blue). Inside of it is a bit darker blue price zone which is the strongest. The dark blue area is the area where some great reversal price action criteria matching each other but overall you should wait for something from the entire blue area. What? You can find it out later! :) To be said, despite those higher lows, I'm more bearish and as said in my previous post that my eyes are pointed to $8,000. If altcoins starting to wake up then my bias can change but at the moment, considering those drops versus increases between from the peak of this year to today (drops are much sharper), I'm slightly more bearish. So, in MY mind, the current trade possibility is into my trend direction, which is already great, and the dark blue area consists of: 1. Previously worked resistance between 6-12 August (orange line) should start to act as a resistance. 2. Fibonacci retracement 62%, pulled from the 6. August high to 15. August low. BTC price has reacted multiple times after it has touched 62% so, the chances are in our favor. 3. Fibonacci Extension 161,8%. Pulled from 15. August low to 16. August high. 4. AB=CD 5. Channel upper trendline projection, a possible Bear Flag. 6. The round number $11,000 7. Strong price zone, the gray area just above the 11k. As I have said previously, 11k is visually the strongest around the current levels. It has printed multiple support and resistance levels. 8. "A sloppy" trendline, thin black dotted line from 2019 high and the second touch 10. July high. We know already the strong area and sometimes this historically 'clean' trendlines can add a bit more strongness into our marked areas. The third touch was full of fakeouts but in general, I consider it as a side criterion. The area is pretty wide because you should wait for a bearish candlestick formation to get full confirmation from it. Almost all rejections have printed some bearish/bullish candlestick patterns after they have taken a direction to our wished direction: ...and here comes the ninth... 9. To trigger the trade order from the marked blue area, wait for a bearish candlestick pattern formation on the 4H timeframe!!! Do your own research!! Best regards, Vaido

Bitcoin whales playing with retail, expect the unexpected.For this analysis we will be looking at the chart of XBT/USD on Bitmex This pair has been purposely chosen as this is the trading pair with the most leverage long/short positions. This makes it easier to spot where/when liquidity is being taken. Pretty much the whole crypto space is waiting on the retracement to rebuy BTC. Currently I am seeing alot of the same analysis all aiming for same zone to (re)buy BTC, mostly between 8 and 8.6k. What does usually happen when everyone thinks alike? well usually not what the majority thinks. Whales have been very active in the past 2 weeks while we have been consolidating in a range, trapping retailers in every single way possible. Stop losses are usually placed just above lows/highs and these often are victim to stop hunts as they are an easy prey for the whales. The red lines show a stop hunt occuring, thus taking liquidity out of the market. So where can we currently find liquidity in the market in the form of stops? If we take a look at the upside of our chart, we can see that most of the highs have been raided, meaning not much liquidity resides to the upside. if we take a look below our current price we can see the low on the 17th of july has not been violated yet. Furthermore, we saw a drop yesterday which did not violate these lows. The price reacted strongly creating upwards momentum, this means longs were being opened at these prices and shorts were being closed. With more longs opening, the stop losses of these longs are most likely placed somewhere below our current low and the low of the 17th of july This means that there will be alot of liquidty below these 'equal lows'. So how do we trade this? What we would like to see is the following: - Price pushed below thse low of the 17th of the july (9080 on Bitmex XBT/USD) - Price is being bought up after the low has been violated - Buy when prices closes above 9080 What we don't want to see is: - Price closing below 9080 - No strong buying after price drops below 9080 So, why did I mention that most people are looking at the same area to rebuy? well, if this trade plan works out, it means that the 8-8.6k most likely won't be reached and still we remain bullish. This means the majority of the people will be waiting for that 8-8.6k zone just to fomo in later as the price will not have reached it. Conclusion - Easy liquidity below 9080 (XBT/USD Bitmex) - High chance of trend being frontran - Market usually does NOT follow what the majority thinks

Bukowski's Adam & Adam Double Top: Bearish Outlook for Bitcoin Bukowski is one of the founding fathers of technical analysis, publishing many books on charting stocks, and explaining how price levels gear sentiment and influence performance. While some of his strategies may only be applicable to stocks many are based on principles of behavioural finance and are applicable in a cross-disciplinary fashion in the context of trading. His work also gave us many of the patterns that we now recognise in price-action; double tops, necklines, and variations of triangular formations. While there is still a lot of debate as to whether technical analysis works on cryptocurrency, there is a growing consensus that if enough retail traders are employing TA as part of their due diligence, then it must hold some validity. This chart pattern; the Adam & Adam Doublet Top, is a great indicator for an impending downwards breakout, and spells out a very bearish sentiment for Bitcoin . The Adam & Adam Double Top is characterised by the following properties: An upwards price trend leading up to the formation. The valley between the tops measures at least 10%. The variation in tops is less than 3%. The twin peaks are several weeks apart. There is a confirmation close below the valley of the two peaks (labelled "b"). While this pattern provides us with an indicator of a potential downwards break out, we need to consider whether this assumption fits a logical narrative. We have a highly level of resistance above the current price with the valley at $10,624. Bitcoin tried to test the resistance level several weeks ago unsuccessfully, and has now reverted back to a support level at $9,168. These levels are labelled "a" on the chart. At the same time we see a shrinking price channel from which the price has deviated (label: "c"), and has now started to form a horizontal consolidation region (HCR). We can see on our ADX Trend indicator that D- > D+ pointing to a negative trend, but the ADX remains below 20, indicating that the trend is weak. This weak technical set-up and chart formation points to a potential decrease with the price action tending towards the range indicated by the shaded region (labelled "d").

BTC in an active mid-term down trend/lower consolidation periodI'll keep it simple. Weekly Time-Frame 10 SMA - Orange line, 21 EMA - Yellow Line, 20 SMA - Red Line, Parabolic Sar - dotted crosses The parabolic sar has printed on the weekly time-frame. I don't use SAR personally unless it is on the weekly which have a very high percentage of playing out. You can see every time the SAR has printed on the weekly, there was a sign of mid -term reversal. BTC has printed the SAR and I suggest, highly suggest you pay attention. The bearish divergence on weekly has been confirmed and usually when bearish divergence are active, you would want to see it travel back down to the 21 EMA. The EMA death cross on the 4hr has become a meme, but nonetheless, it is playing out. Price will consolidate on the 10 SMA weekly with bounces here and there, but eventually it will break. The target is most likely the 21 EMA on the weekly and 20 MA on weekly. This is a sign of a healthy bull-market continuation of price if it can hold and consolidate on these two levels 21 EMA/20 MA weekly. They are the magnet in the market that will continue to push price further for a couple more years just like it has in previous bull markets. These are the areas of interest that many are looking to buy back for a longer HODL period on BTC. If price does not hold on the 21 EMA or 20 MA, and closed a candle/open a candle below, that is a sign of disaster to later to come for BTC. Just to have confluences, 4hr is showing a "death cross" on the 50 EMA and 200 EMA while weekly has re-entered the CCI . After a massive run of 300% since March, it will need to consolidate for a longer period of time before it can make another run. The macro time-frame by all means is still in an active bull-market, do not confuse mid-term analysis with macro analysis. So, how would you play this? Any rally for BTC will be sold into, and opening a short position will more than likely be in your favor because of the trend has reversed to the downside on the mid-term time frame. The blue box on the chart is the interest areas of buyers wanting to step back into the market. Wait for a weekly candle close AND open above the 21 EMA weekly, and that'll be your very very nice long for tremendous upside. Stop-loss under the 21 EMA, your risk reward is amazing at these levels. If you appreciate my macro analysis please consider using my affiliate link. www.deribit.com www.bitmex.com

First out of sample test of Kama TS v1.2This is a first test after the trading system parameters optimization. The idea is to operate when the level of volatility is not too high but not too low either and when the average KAMA is substantially flat because we do not want the trade to be influenced by any primary trend. This trading system tries to operate when the market is quiet, with average volatility and outside of strong trends that may adversely affect the operation. At the moment we have 3 good trades and one open trade that is not going well but not yet closed at loss.
