Consolidation-breakout

EN is going to Infinity and BeyondEN has been in a consolidation box since 2011, (when i started high school) it broke out of that box at the beginning of March and is currently retesting it, we have seen a failed attempt to re-enter the box(4/28 17:00- 4/30 13:00 UTC -4) which acts as a spring based off our wycoff principles. The aforementioned fakeout to the downside acts as the beginning of a potential bullish channel. The fib is currently rejecting the 61.8% zone off of the last bullish impulse. At the very least I would expect in to retest the top of our H4 consolidation. SL may be a little tight and I won't be trading with one.

INTC, bullish and bearish scenario INTC is currently consolidating and is trading in a range on bigger time frames. We do not have clear direction of the trend, and i would not advise to take a trade until we cross the significant level. LONG : i would enter long at 62 level with 1/3 of my position, because we have to be prepared of a fake breakout. ( 80% of all breakouts fail, they usually retest and move higher later). I would wait to retest and bounce back. I would than add at 63, 2/3 and wait what will happen at 64, because there could be a resistance. If we successfuly break it i would add 3/3 of my position and ride it to the upside until i see CLEAR reversal. SHORT : i would short at 56. Volume does not to be big, because on the downside we do not necessarily need it big. i would enter with 1/3 of my position - same reason : fake breakouts. And i would add at every whole number and look closely what will happen at half dollars ( at half dollars we usually create psychological support and resistance levels too ). At 54 we could create strong support level. Watch closely for reversals ( candlesticks, volume ) If we cross it i would add to my position and ride it till i see a clear reversal signal. Stop loss should be always 50 cents if you are risk tolerant, if not you can have a 20 cent stop loss. INTC has a great fundamentals, wall street rates it as a very good tehnical and fundamental company and has a lot of potential in the future. So it is good for investment too. I DO NOT recommend taking any of my trades because of the risk. I AM NOT a financial advisor and i AM NOT a institutional trader. This analysis is purely for entertainment only and it represents an idea what could happen with the stocks future. If you like idea please like and follow. Any kind of support is appreciated.

Trader/Investors must understand this process.......!Kindly comment with " Yes " for agree and "No" for disagree with this post: Before the break-out, I've informed that " Breakout will give truck of Money. ..!". Exactly, we seen this statement was TRUE, didn't it? (End of idea link is added about this idea) Let's talk step by step was happened here. The Width of congestion area was equal to height of the price surged. From my personal experience and the survey/observation I'm talking about this is almost the same area as price congestion in size of width and height after the price break. Let's try to explain in another words: Horizontal width of congestion size = Vertical price move after break-out. (Generally, i noted that price moved away so far after breakout whenever congestion area is much longer.) --> Let's talk little more deeper about CONGESTION area: In the congestion area, accumulation or distribution process process. We will talk about accumulation only because, this was happened here. Accumulation : smart money, money makers, huge fund-management, landlord of global investors whatever you called them they grab/connecting instrument(stocks, currency,etc) from retail investors in very slow motion because, they can smell insider upcoming news. After the completing this accumulation, news clear and price start to go away from the breakout area. later i will try to explain you more deeper about it practically. Yes, obviously we can smell the process accumulation/distribution.

Simple Long Term Outlook At the moment price is seen to be consolidating within the outlined wedge, following the previous bullish build up. After the huge dump, we saw the price commence this retracement phase in which we still haven't found a proper resistance yet. This brings me to my first point: looking at the daily, the confluent 7900/8000 level seems to be outlining perfectly with our long term fib level of 0.618. Perhaps we should take that into consideration before seeing another potential price dump. I know the halving is around the corner and everybody is excited, but will Bitcoin really act as a hedge investment during these dark times we find ourselves in? Look how it previously played out when the Indexes dropped...simply correlated with their momentum. I'm not saying this is the end of Bitcoin, in fact I strongly believe 100k is achievable in the next few years, but this years halving might take its time to commence another bull run, especially due to the current fundamental circumstances we got going around. It might be a bit too early to confirm anything here, it all depends how we see the price play out, assuming we reach our major resistance level at 7900.

Double MA ChannelsSimple strategy using 2 Simple Moving Averages channels, Momentum and ADX with Directional Movement First Channel: 70, High 70, Low 70, Close Second Channel: 144, High 144, Low 144, Close Momentum: 34 ADX: 14, 20 To use this strategy please refer to link related to previous post. The SMA 144 channel is used to determine the strength of a trend. Kind of like Bollinger Bands, the 144 will move farther or closer to the 70 depending on the strength of the trend. It's goo to tell you if you have incoming consolidation.

GBPJPY - Trend Continuation - EASY Trade SetupHi Traders! As you can see the market is in a downtrend. The market made a big bearish trending move. It started around 145.000 and has fallen to the area of 124.000. During this session the market respected the 20MA. After that the retracement move started. The market has risen until the resistance area at 134.000. Now the market is consolidating in a tight range. It is moving around the 20MA. This is a good setup for many traders, because the more "tight" a market moves, the more "explosive" are the Breakouts. That's why we recommend to take the trade during high momentum. BONUS SETUP : There are also chances that the market makes a trend change. If the market is going to do so, it'll have the break the consolidation area to the upside. So, if the market has enough momentum we'll buy the breakout upwards ;)! Thanks and good luck :)!

CONSOLIDATION BEFORE MINOR BREAKOUT On the daily chart USOIL is coming off of oversold on both RSI and Stochastic. It is on the hourly chart it is as well (circled in red). MACD signal line is being crossed on both the daily and hourly chart also. Volume of selling is decreasing, as shown by the red line. USOIL is in a consolidation, as shown by the two blue lines. Gann Fan shows a representation of where price can go if a breakout from consolidation occurs. Although USOIL seems to be due for a slight breakout from its oversold condition, I am still bearish overall as the underlying fundamentals remain negative.

2 Possible Outcomes for NowAt the moment we are in a downtrend on short term time frames. We can see the price is currently consolidating within the wedge formation and it looks like there will be a breakout soon. You can view it more clearly on the 15min time frame, but if you take a look at the 1H as well, you can see that we also might be able to retest a descending trendline for the 3rd time before dropping again. Overall, bearish sentiment remains. Let's see how this plays out. This is NOT a financial advice, trade at your own risk!

Brace Yourselves | Consolidation Coming to an EndSo, this past week was rather flat for Bitcoin in comparison to the previous ones. We saw the market consolidate further up but essentially become flat due to the very important resistance level of 6900. We saw it retest the resistance MULTIPLE times on the lower time frames, and yet, failed to breakout of it every, single, time. Despite the positivity coming from the global markets this week, Bitcoin didn't seem to correlate much within their volatility as it did before. Sellers are still in charge and they are refusing to be fooled by the news trying to say "everything is alright, the collapse is over". No, it is not over, it is merely a pullback before another upcoming dump and Bitcoin investors are well aware of it. Should we see a possible chance of breaking above our consolidating wedge, then we will instantly see a huge wave of FOMO buying power coming into play, which will ultimately boost Bitcoins price higher...but do you really think this will be the case? CME futures are going to be closing in the next 8 hours of the time of writing this and Bitcoin is circulating around their major resistance area as well for now. A lot of volatility usually comes in before closure time, where we will see huge moves being made by either sellers or buyers, giving us a better perspective of which direction the volatility will head onwards. My bias remains bearish (as stated within the previous posts), and I'll be looking to take further shorts if we manage to reach our resistance levels of 6800-6900 again. Should we see a clear breakout of the ascending trendline and the current level of support around 6400, then I'm afraid it's all going to be downhill from there FAST. Sunday will definitely open up with a huge gap on the CME futures, the question is, are you ready for it? The mining industry is also looking interesting for Bitcoin at the moment. As soon as the mining difficulty dropped by 16%, we instantly saw the BTC hash rate pump up from 75m TH/s, all the way to 113m TH/s. I guess everybody turned on their farms again once they saw how much lower the difficulty dropped. Normally this is a positive sign for the Crypto markets, but we didn't see it react to that point as much, which further gives me these bearish insights. Either way though, let's see how we close off this week. I will keep this post updated if anything changes. If you found this post useful in any way, feel free to leave a 'Like', it will be highly appreciated! This is NOT a financial advice, trade at your own risk!

SHORT TERM LONG, LONG TERM SHORTTECHNICAL/CHART ANALYSIS: 1. As seen by the orange triangles, USOIL is currently in a short term consolidation on the hourly chart. 2. On the daily chart it is just coming off of the RSI oversold level, and the MACD signal line is being crossed (both typically bullish indicators). 3. It seems to have found an intermediate support at around the 20/21 price level, which it has bounced from twice. 4. The MACD and RSI are both showing bullish divergence on the hourly chart as shown by the black lines. 5. Volume has been gradually decreasing over the last few days, showing signs that the aggressive selling is over for the near term. 6. First support/resistance level at around 28. If it breaks past this level, the next support/resistance will be around 33/34, which I don't think it will break through. Fibonacci retracement confirmed both of these support and resistance levels, as shown on the chart. FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS: Fundamentally, USOIL does not have a good case for two primary reasons: 1. Global shutdown due to the corona virus, leading to a significant decrease in demand for energy commodities such as USOIL from both businesses and consumers. 2. After the corona virus was clearly making a negative impact on global oil demand, the world's largest oil exporting nations (OPEC) met to discuss cutting production levels to help prop-up oil prices (decrease supply to increase prices). Russia was defiant to cutting their production any further as other nations, such as Saudi Arabia, pushed them to do. OPEC ended their talks with no agreement. And not only did they not agree on further production cuts, they disbanded the previous production cut agreements, leading to a significant increase in supply as all oil producing nations became free to pump as much oil as humanly possible, thus increasing the supply by millions of barrels a day. Some speculate that Russia left the bargaining table at OPEC intentionally, as they have the lowest break-even price per barrel compared to any other nation. They also have been building up their cash reserves over the last few years. Saudi Arabia and the US have much higher break-even prices, so the price war may be an attempt to bankrupt Saudi and US oil companies. The reason I mention this is to point out the fact that Russia has shown no signs of changing their minds, stating previously that they would be able to withstand oil prices this low for years. If this is correct, don't expect any significant trend reversals any time soon, oil can still go a lot lower if OPEC doesn't come to a deal. ***NOTE*** No, I don't expect the price line to follow my lines exactly. I don't have a crystal ball, but the point is SHORT TERM LONG, LONG TERM SHORT. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO LIKE AND FOLLOW FOR MORE.
