Did you miss NVDA's move? What now?NVDA's gap up on a stellar earnings report should NOT have been a surprise, as the chart has been showing strength since January when I mentioned it in my Morning Reports. It was completing the bottom at that time. The trend upward was showing pro traders in control of price after Dark Pool quiet accumulation. It has 64% of the shares held by institutions, which is normal for a giant-cap stock. It should actually be a Dow 30 component rather than INTC but, alas, that won't happen for a while. NVDA stair-stepped upward. This is probably one of the hardest trendline patterns to see without rectangles drawn around the step, but one of the most important to recognize professional buyer dominance. What now? The gains are now extreme. And the pros are taking profits. That means there is very high risk for buying at this moment. CAN it move higher? Of course! Euphoric retail buying can easily drive prices upward further for a short period of time. Just remember that without institutional buying at this level, any upside from here may be short-lived.

The dollar remains strongEURUSD made a lower high yesterday and we now see a test of 1.0700 again. We continue to watch for a breakout and exhaustion of the move. While we wait for clear opportunities in the major pairs we are trading EURAUD where we are seeing a pullback from the support zone. (We shared about this movement in yesterday's email.) If the EURUSD continues to hold at these levels and the decline remains smaller than that of the AUDUSD, this will help the rise in the EURAUD.

History: A Brief History Of Candlesticks Introduction: An important tool in financial analysis, the candlestick chart has a long, illustrious history that dates back several centuries. Candlestick charts, which have their roots in Japan, have developed into a popular way to visualize price changes and market patterns. Lets explore the intriguing history of candlestick charts, with special attention paid to their development, importance, and ongoing relevance in contemporary finance. Origins in Japan: Candlestick charts have their origins in Japan, specifically the Edo era in the 18th century. This novel approach to charting price changes is credited to a Japanese rice dealer by the name of Munehisa Homma. The "God of Markets," Homma, used candlestick charts to study and anticipate changes in the price of rice. His ideas and methods were recorded in a book titled "Sakata Rules," which served as the basis for this distinctive graphic display of market data. Munehisa Homma below Candlestick Chart Components: Individual "candles," each of which represents a distinct time period (such as a day, week, or month) in the market, make up the basic building blocks of a candlestick chart. The open, high, low, and close prices are the four main elements that each candle is made up of. The upper and lower wicks or shadows of the candle indicate the peak and low prices that were experienced during the specified time period, while the body of the candle symbolizes the price range between open and close. Popularization and Spread: Candlestick charts were mostly exclusive to Japan up until the 19th century, when a British trader by the name of Charles Dow worked to bring them to the attention of the West. During his tour to Japan, Dow, the co-founder of Dow Jones & Company and architect of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, learned about candlestick charts. He translated Homma's findings and added candlestick analysis to his own technical analysis techniques after seeing their potential. Charles Dow below Further Development and Modern Application: In terms of pattern recognition and interpretation, candlestick charts have improved and expanded over time. Steve Nison, an American trader who popularized candlestick analysis on Western financial markets, deserves most of the credit for this development. Nison carefully researched and built upon Munehisa Homma's studies, adding new candlestick patterns and improving the way they were interpreted. His 1991 publication of "Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques," which is now considered a classic, popularized candlestick charts among Western investors. Steve Nison below Today, traders, investors, and technical analysts utilize candlestick charts extensively across a variety of financial markets, including stocks, commodities, and currency. The visual depiction of price patterns and trends aids in spotting potential trend reversals, continuations, and market emotion, offering insightful information for making decisions. Conclusion: The development of candlestick charts is proof positive of the value of visual aids in financial analysis. Candlestick charts, which have its roots in Japan from the 18th century, have developed into a widely used and essential instrument in the world of trading and investment. These charts have been improved and adjusted for contemporary markets thanks to the work of pioneers like Munehisa Homma, Charles Dow, and Steve Nison, giving traders a thorough perspective of price movements and insightful knowledge about market dynamics. Candlestick charts are expected to keep guiding traders and assisting them in making educated judgments in the complex world of finance as time goes on.

End of Declining Phase!The candlestick indicates a divergence pattern where the pattern is in the declining phase and is already at the end of the cycle. With the possibility of beginning the phase for accumulation. For a long investment strategy trader, then this is a sign to enter and ride to the next peak price; R1. Let's save LCTITAN in WL and watch out for significant price movement efforts with result in a large volume compared with the previous day or above the MA line. R 1.25 S 0.95

TSLA: Bull Trend Pullback - Watch Out for These Key Points!• Yesterday, TSLA did a Gravestone Doji candlestick pattern, just under the $191 resistance line, indicating a pullback; • As I mentioned yesterday, any pullback to the $177 area wouldn’t be the end of the world, as the trend is still bullish (the link to my previous analysis is below this post, as usual); • So far, it seems this is just a pullback, as there’s no bearish reversal structure on TSLA yet; • If TSLA loses the $177, then it might frustrate the bullish sentiment; • On the weekly chart, TSLA is still inside a Descending Channel, and it seems it found a resistance at the upper trend line again; • Therefore, TSLA just reached a key resistance level this week. If it breaks this resistance in the next few days, we will see a meaningful bullish reversal pattern being triggered on the weekly chart, reversing the long-term bearish sentiment seen since 2021. I’ll keep you updated on this. Remember to follow me to keep in touch with my daily analysis.

STOP! Read before you consider to engageHALT! Don't follow this trading idea blindly. You should know that I've a strong bias to long the GBPUSD on the higher timeframe, the daily and weekly chart. I'd engaged in a strategy that I've personally tested for the past 12 years. The ABCD pattern showing up on the 8 range bar provide such an opportunity for me to engage the trade. What is really needed is for the first target to be hit and that would give me the right to shift stops to entry and enjoy the ride. The first 34pips(340usd/lot) of profits is what I need to let that happen and I'll keep my second target open. If you do not plan your trade in advance, don't jump in. If you had not traded ABCD pattern in your life, don't jump in. If you do not have the unwavering bias to long GBPUSD, don't jump in.

Intraday Bullish Momentum swingThis is a follow up and actual trade taken by myself. I placed a short term buy today at 10:30A.M on AUDUSD simply because lower lows ceased being formed at a key support level. After a strong bullish correction trendline was broken then on the 4Hour the 8Moving Average crossed to the upside of the 21SMA. that's relevant because it lags behind price. The 1 hour provided some reversal signals at a clear support and the trade was essentially taken based on pure candlestick analysis. I love trading reversal candlesticks on top of support. Especially after a market gap on Sunday. I believe a potential inverted head and shoulders is on the way after price failed to make a lower swing low and is now attempting to create a new swing high. Potential short term up trend beginning with indecision candles then a bullish engulfing on top of a weekly support.
