Kinross Gold - 6:1 Long w/ Multiple ConfluencesThe weekly KGC price chart looks juicy for swing traders and position players, or anyone in search of quicker gold-correlated returns than the metal itself offers (+/- 25%). As always, I strive to render these ideas of mine so obviously that their explanation will require no words, and this forecast is no exception. My trading tactics - including the beauty of Tradingview and how it makes me look good - are based on identifying the opportunities within VOLUME, VOLATILITY and TREND EXHAUSTION. This chart was developed on the 1D frame and the entry was made on the hourly, and is here presented in the 1W version to accentuate the Trend Exhaustion Wedge w/in the Fib Space as fully as possible, albeit w/ some loss of detail. In fact, I generally prefer to trade on lower timeframes, so I execute swing trades like this one directly via my bank, in lieu of a savings account (which is NOT financial advice, by the way). Furthermore, a tighter Stop Loss at $4.71 (instead of the $4.64 shown here) offers a 9:1 Risk-to-Reward ratio. When it comes to most mining stocks, I tend to rely on pure price action based on tight line-work, with a minimum of indicators. Besides the obvious Harmonic W, a variety of patterns are on display here, including a descending Three Drives followed by an ascending version. The profit and retracement targets are passively based on Fibonacci ratios, and dynamically based on the VWAPs anchored at the C-point of the harmonic pattern. A volume profile is also anchored there, although it will become less valuable over time on the 1D chart, and is already invisible on hourly charts. One indicator worth noting, though, is the correlation histogram with First Majestic Silver; the periods of divergence should be especially interesting to lower timeframe prospectors. In fact, especially when I look at mining charts, I prefer to study their correlation either to the underlying asset or, better yet, to some other lesser-correlated asset in the same "genre". I will discuss both Kinross Gold and First Majestic Silver in forthcoming videos and streams on strategic and/or monetary metals. This will give you an opportunity to see what these charts look like on lower timeframes, and to ask questions. Until then, be liquid !!!

GBPJPY will fluctuate in a wide range!Strong Bullish candles and weaker bearish moves. Candles are begging traders: BUY! But the super bullish channel might be broken this time. Remember these kind of channel won't last long! Take a look at GBPUSD Pound is going to be weaker against USD Same for USDJPY: If I want to favor one to another I'll choose GBP so our suggested entries in lower time frames could be found around: LONG AT: 181.05 AND : 177.71 SL : below 176.71 Take profit points: 183.00 186.00 Any breaking news or an important one, could devaluate this analysis. Also, breaks out of the yellow range is expiration of the idea.

The TQQQ and BTC/USD CorrelationThe BTC/USD (Bitcoin to US Dollar) and TQQQ (ProShares UltraPro QQQ ETF) can sometimes show correlation, though it's important to note that these correlations can change over time and are influenced by a multitude of factors. There are several reasons why this correlation might occur: 1. Risk Appetite: Both Bitcoin and TQQQ are considered high-risk, high-reward investments. Bitcoin is a volatile asset class, and TQQQ is a leveraged ETF that aims to deliver three times the daily performance of the NASDAQ-100 Index. Therefore, when investors have a high appetite for risk (often in a bullish or 'risk-on' market environment), both Bitcoin and TQQQ could perform well. Conversely, in periods of risk aversion (bearish or 'risk-off' markets), they could both decline. 2. Technological Optimism: The NASDAQ-100 Index, which TQQQ aims to amplify, is heavily weighted towards technology and innovative companies. Bitcoin, as a decentralized digital currency, is often viewed as a vanguard of technological and financial innovation. Therefore, positive sentiment towards technology and innovation could drive both BTC and TQQQ higher. 3. Market Liquidity: In times of ample market liquidity, such as periods of low-interest rates or quantitative easing by central banks, risk assets like Bitcoin and leveraged ETFs like TQQQ can be attractive to investors looking for higher returns. 4. Speculative Trading: Both Bitcoin and TQQQ are popular among speculative traders, given their potential for significant price movements. This common trader interest could lead to similar trading patterns and thus correlations in price movements. However, it's important to remember that while Bitcoin and TQQQ can show periods of correlation, they are fundamentally different assets with unique risk profiles. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency that is often subject to regulatory news, technological developments in the blockchain space, and changes in sentiment towards digital assets. TQQQ, on the other hand, is tied to the performance of a specific equity index (NASDAQ-100), and its performance will be influenced by factors like corporate earnings, economic indicators, and changes in interest rates. Investors should consider these differences, and the potential for correlation to change or even disappear, when building a diversified portfolio.

Correlation between different assetsCorrelation is a measure that establishes the degree of relationship between different assets. It is measured on a scale of +100% to -100%. In the case of a +100% correlation (perfect positive correlation), both assets move in an identical manner in the market. Conversely, if the correlation is -100% (perfect negative correlation), we are talking about two assets that move in an exactly opposite manner. Correlation is a crucial measure to consider because not being aware of the correlations between assets could inadvertently increase our risk. For example, if we open a sell position in NDJPY and another with the same lot size in NZDUSD based on an analysis conducted on the 4H timeframe, we would be multiplying our risk by 2 due to the high correlation between both assets in that timeframe (88%). The correct way to handle this situation may be to either reduce the risk of both trades by half or only trade the pair with a clearer scenario in your analysis.

Educational: Balancing your watchlist Let's imagine it is Sunday, and you're preparing your watchlist for the week. You use the market scanner to create your watchlist. You can learn about the market scanner here: 📊Your list contains: PEPPERSTONE:EURUSD PEPPERSTONE:GBPJPY PEPPERSTONE:GBPUSD PEPPERSTONE:NZDJPY PEPPERSTONE:XAUUSD PEPPERSTONE:USDJPY It's now Monday, and you start to trade. At the end of the week, you check your results and you have about a 50% win rate. For every win that you got, you experienced a loss, and your trades were very close in time to each other. What has likely happened here is that you did not balance your watchlist before the start of the trading week. 📊 What is correlation : In trading, pair correlation refers to the statistical measure of the relationship or association between two or more financial instruments, typically stocks or other securities. It quantifies how the prices of these instruments move in relation to each other over a given period. Pair correlation analysis helps traders and investors identify and exploit potential trading opportunities. By studying the historical price movements of two instruments, traders can gain insights into their relationship and make informed decisions. The pair correlation coefficient is a common measure used to assess the degree of correlation between two instruments. It ranges from -1 to +1. A correlation coefficient of +1 indicates a perfect positive correlation, meaning that the prices of the two instruments move in the same direction. Conversely, a correlation coefficient of -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation, where the prices move in opposite directions. A correlation coefficient of 0 signifies no correlation, indicating that the prices of the two instruments are unrelated. (note that some programs might use a different scale to determine correlation but these are industry standards) 📊 How it affected your trades: If you are experiencing a phenomenon where your setups/trades are being triggered around the same time, and it often happens that one trade runs in profit while the other does not, you are likely experiencing a negative correlation between the pairs in your watchlist. If you are opening buy positions on two pairs, but one is negatively correlated with the other, you are very likely to experience a loss in one of those trades. As we can see in the image, if you had entered a buy position on both pairs, one would end up being a losing position due to the negative correlation. 📊 How to combat this issue: 🔹When creating your watchlist, it is a good idea to note the correlation between all the pairs and create a subsection marked for negative and positive correlation. This way, if you get a buy signal on two pairs that are currently negatively correlated, you can determine which signal has a higher chance of being accurate and execute the trade only on that pair. Usually, the pair with the most confluence for the buy or sell position has a higher chance of being correct. 🔹Execute trades with a risk-to-reward ratio of more than 1:1. This way, even if you execute both trades and one goes against you, you can still make a profit overall. Please refer to the diagram below. 📊 How to check pair asset correlation: There are several ways to check the correlation between assets. I won't recommend any specific third-party websites here, but you can search for "forex correlation" on a search engine to find various websites that offer this feature. Alternatively, you can search for an indicator on TradingView that provides correlation analysis. One being, Script by :@LeviathanCapital

3 Key Entry Rules to Boost Your Trading PerformanceToday I want to share with you this topic: the 3 Entry Rules to Boost Your Trading Performance. Over the 20,000 traders that we have coached over the time via conferences and talks we’ve done all over the world, we have found one of the challenges that traders have is that they find themselves locked into a trade and then being stopped out when they enter into trade. So their entries are not really optimized or they are not getting the right timing for their entries. Sometimes they come during a coaching session; they say ‘Thiru, I need some help with my entry.’ So this topic, the 3 Entry Rules, can actually help you optimize your entry and overall improve your strategy performance. This is what we’re going to be looking at today in this video. The first one is what we call “ Time Frame Correlation ,” the short form abbreviation TFC. In TFC one thing you do have to remember when you’re correlating the different time frames is that you’ve got to remember three times. Some of you may be wondering ‘What do you mean by three times?’ What I mean is that for example if you are an intra-day trader trading on a shorter time frame, like a one hour time frame, then you need to be looking at three time frames at least altogether, so the one hour and each of the time frames has to be three times the one that you are trading on, three times or four times. Now let me explain by way of an example: If you are trading on a one hour time frame, then we are looking at maybe three to four hours (1 x 4 = 4 hours) and then after that, you want four times that, approximately that is a daily time frame, 16 hours is a daily time frame. What we’re looking at is to correlate the times frames before we take the trade. We are usually looking at three time frames and each time frame is three times each other. For example, if you are an end of day trader and you want to enter your position onto a four hour time frame then you can start to look at daily time frame and then three to four times that would be a weekly time frame as well that you’re looking at. Let me explain why this is important. For example, imagine this – you would have probably experienced this – in a one hour time frame it looks like it’s going down and you are thinking it is looking like a very good short sell as the direction is going further down. You put your entry over here and let’s say you put your stop loss over here and you’re good to go. Let’s say your target is somewhere around there. In the next hour the trade then triggers you in and starts to go towards your target, everything is well and rosy. You are happy, you’re in profit and you are thinking ‘it is only a matter of time before I reach my target.’ Then what happens? You know the usual thing, you would have experienced it if you have traded or if you are trading at the moment as well, it will start to reverse and where your stop loss is – let’s say other traders have their stop loss here as well – suddenly the market reverses and shoots up and takes up all the stops. I’m sure you have experienced this. Now why does that happen? It is because, if you imagine this is the one hour time frame, if you didn’t correlate between the other time frames – the four hour and the daily time frame – and let’s say the four hour and the daily time frame are in an up-trend, if that is the case, then what happens is that the orders that are inside the daily time frame are being filled by the brokers and therefore the market is reversing to fill them up on a higher time frame. This is what is happening and this is why sometimes you get these sharp reversal moves in the market. It is very critical that you correlate the time frames before you start to take your position on the one hour time frame. In fact, in the last live trading we did where we were teaching a strategy that we called “stops to cash,” what we usually do is we take contrarian move on a one hour time frame where it looks like a perfect short, where beginners and even intermediates are getting into short position, but we are looking at a contrarian position in terms of the one hour time frame but when you align it to the higher time frames, it’s just in line with the trend. That’s all we’re doing here. What we’re saying is when everybody’s stops are being taken out, we are actually converting it to cash according to this time frame correlation. I believe that concept is well clear and nice now. Definitely do consider putting that into your entry rules. The second entry rule we’re looking at is “ Indicators .” This is quite a critical one that you can put into your entry rules also to optimize your strategy performance. In terms of indicators, the usual common ones that we are looking at are Stochastic, RSI and for example CCI as well. These are familiar names, you have all heard of them. There are thousands of indicators, but the important thing is don’t just pick an indicator and just slam it onto the screen, but ask yourself what are you looking to achieve, what is the objective of your strategy? Then pick and choose your tools. For example, let’s say you’re driving your car and it starts to break down, you can’t just choose any old hammer or spanner. You have to analyze the problem first before choosing the tool that you want to use to repair the mistake or the fault on the car. It is the same thing here, as we are looking to optimize our strategy, we have to ask ourselves what is going to be the most efficient indicator to help me optimize my strategy performance and towards what objective? That is how you actually choose the indicator that you want to have on the screen in your strategy. The last one we are looking at is “ Price Action .” Price Action is very critical because most of our strategies use price action. It is the fastest of them all. Some things the price won’t be able to tell you and that’s when we use indicators because it involves a lot of calculations. With price actions you notice some really powerful bar patterns that give you an edge in the market and then using all these three factors together that can give you a very strong edge against all the other 99% traders. For example, price action patterns can start to look like the low test bar starts to come up over here and it’s starting to show a reversal pattern. Or even things on a daily time frame where we are looking at something like a down trend and it is starting to reverse – all those critical price action patterns that can give you and edge. So these three rules that’s I’ve just gone through with you right now can be so important to improving your whole strategy and your trading performance. On a final note, what I want you to remember is that just using them by themselves is not enough as Traders. But using them in a cumulative manner strengthens your edge so strongly in the market and also optimizes and maximizes your trading performance for consistent profits. I believe this has been very useful for you all and as we always say, til the next time stay disciplined, follow your trading plan and keep Trading like a Maste r.

Unlocking The Power Of Correlation In Forex Trading.What Is Correlation In Forex Trading? Understanding the role of correlation is of paramount importance in the world of forex trading as it offers valuable insights into the intricate relationships between currency pairs. By delving into the depths of correlations, traders gain the ability to make well-informed decisions and effectively manage their risk. This comprehensive article aims to delve into the concept of correlation within forex trading, shedding light on crucial aspects such as the correlation coefficient, commonly observed correlation pairs, and practical examples of currency correlation strategies. In forex trading, correlation refers to the statistical measure of how two currency pairs move in relation to each other. It helps traders identify patterns and trends by studying the historical relationship between pairs, which can be instrumental in forecasting future price movements. The correlation coefficient, often denoted as "r," ranges between -1 and +1. A correlation of +1 signifies a perfect positive correlation, where the pairs move in the same direction, while a correlation of -1 denotes a perfect negative correlation, implying that the pairs move in opposite directions. A correlation close to zero suggests a weak or non-existent relationship between the pairs. Certain currency pairs are well-known for exhibiting strong correlations. For instance, the EUR/USD and GBP/USD pairs tend to show a positive correlation due to their close economic ties and geographical proximity. Conversely, the USD/JPY and EUR/JPY pairs often demonstrate a negative correlation as they are influenced by different factors such as monetary policies and economic indicators. Traders can capitalize on currency correlations by implementing various strategies. One such strategy is the hedging approach, where traders open positions in positively correlated pairs to mitigate risk. Another strategy involves trading divergences, wherein traders identify situations where the correlation between pairs deviates from its typical pattern, potentially indicating an opportunity for profit. Correlation Coefficient: The correlation coefficient is a statistical measure that provides insights into the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables. Denoted by the symbol "r," it ranges from -1 to +1, representing different levels of correlation. A correlation coefficient of +1 indicates a perfect positive correlation, meaning that the two variables move in the same direction with a strong linear relationship. For example, if variable A increases, variable B also increases proportionally. Conversely, a correlation coefficient of -1 represents a perfect negative correlation, where the two variables move in opposite directions with a strong linear relationship. In this case, as variable A increases, variable B decreases proportionally. A correlation coefficient of 0 suggests no linear relationship between the variables, indicating that changes in one variable do not consistently impact the other variable. The magnitude of the correlation coefficient reflects the strength of the relationship. Values closer to +1 or -1 indicate a stronger correlation, while values closer to 0 suggest a weaker correlation. It is important to understand that the correlation coefficient measures only linear relationships and does not capture non-linear associations between variables. Additionally, correlation does not imply causation, meaning that a high correlation between two variables does not necessarily imply that changes in one variable cause changes in the other variable. What is it Positive Correlation: Positive correlation refers to the relationship between two variables where they tend to move in the same direction. In forex trading, there are currency pairs that often exhibit a strong positive correlation. Here are a couple of examples: EUR/USD and GBP/USD: These currency pairs commonly display a positive correlation. Both EUR/USD and GBP/USD are major currency pairs, and they are influenced by similar factors such as economic data from the Eurozone and the United States. When one pair experiences an upward or downward movement, the other pair tends to follow a similar pattern. AUD/USD and NZD/USD: The Australian dollar (AUD) and New Zealand dollar (NZD) are both commodity currencies, meaning their value is closely tied to commodity prices. These two currency pairs often exhibit a positive correlation due to their geographical proximity and similar economic ties. When commodity prices rise or fall, it can affect both the AUD/USD and NZD/USD in a similar manner. ...And What is it Negative Correlation: Negative correlation refers to the relationship between two variables where they tend to move in opposite directions. In forex trading, there are currency pairs that often exhibit a strong negative correlation. Here are a couple of examples: USD/JPY and EUR/JPY: Both USD/JPY and EUR/JPY pairs tend to have a negative correlation. The Japanese yen (JPY) is considered a safe-haven currency, meaning that during times of increased risk aversion in the market, investors tend to seek the safety of the yen, causing it to strengthen. As a result, both USD/JPY and EUR/JPY pairs typically decrease in value, leading to a negative correlation between these pairs. USD/JPY and Gold: Gold is also considered a safe-haven asset. When there is market uncertainty or increased risk aversion, investors often flock to both gold and the Japanese yen as safe-haven investments. This can result in a negative correlation between USD/JPY and the price of gold. If the price of gold increases, indicating heightened risk aversion, USD/JPY often decreases as the yen strengthens. It's important to note that correlations can vary over time and are not static. Traders should regularly assess and monitor correlations to understand the current relationship between currency pairs. Additionally, it's essential to consider other factors and conduct thorough analysis before making trading decisions based on correlations. No Correlation: There are currency pairs in forex trading that do not exhibit a significant correlation, meaning their price movements do not show a consistent relationship. Here are a couple of examples: USD/CHF and GBP/JPY: USD/CHF involves the US dollar (USD) and the Swiss franc (CHF), while GBP/JPY involves the British pound (GBP) and the Japanese yen (JPY). These pairs usually have different fundamental factors influencing their exchange rates, such as economic indicators, monetary policies, and geopolitical factors. As a result, they often do not demonstrate a significant correlation. USD/CAD and EUR/GBP: USD/CAD involves the USD and the Canadian dollar (CAD), while EUR/GBP involves the euro (EUR) and the British pound (GBP). These currency pairs represent different combinations with unique economic drivers. The factors affecting the USD/CAD pair, such as oil prices and economic conditions in Canada and the US, may differ from those influencing the EUR/GBP pair, which is influenced by factors related to the eurozone and the UK. Therefore, these pairs often exhibit little correlation. Here are some examples of currency correlation strategies that traders may employ in forex trading: Hedging Strategy: Traders can utilize currency correlation to hedge their positions. For instance, if a trader is long on EUR/USD (anticipating it to rise) but also observes a strong negative correlation between EUR/USD and USD/CHF, they can take a short position on USD/CHF to hedge their risk. This way, if EUR/USD moves against their initial position, the potential losses can be offset or minimized by the gains in the short USD/CHF position. Diversification Strategy: Currency correlation can aid in portfolio diversification. By identifying currency pairs with low or negative correlations, traders can spread their risk across different currency pairs and decrease their exposure to any single currency. For example, if a trader is bullish on EUR/USD, they may seek currency pairs with a negative correlation to EUR/USD, such as USD/JPY or USD/CHF, to diversify their positions. Correlation Breakout Strategy: Traders may look for periods when the correlation between two currency pairs breaks down or significantly deviates from its historical norm. When a strong correlation breaks, it can present trading opportunities. For instance, if a historically positive correlation between EUR/USD and GBP/USD weakens or turns negative, a trader might consider taking opposite positions on the two pairs, expecting them to converge or revert to their usual correlation. Carry Trade Strategy: Carry trade involves borrowing in a low-interest-rate currency and investing in a high-interest-rate currency to capitalize on the interest rate differential. Correlation analysis can assist traders in selecting currency pairs for carry trades. For example, if a trader identifies currency pairs with positive correlation and implements a carry trade on one of the pairs, they can potentially reduce risk by avoiding carry trades on correlated pairs to prevent overexposure. How To Trade Forex Correlation Pairs: To effectively trade forex correlation pairs, follow these steps: Conduct market analysis: Stay informed about the currency pairs you are interested in trading and the factors that affect their correlation. Stay updated on economic indicators, central bank policies, geopolitical events, and other relevant news that impact currency markets. Identify correlation opportunities: Analyze the correlation between currency pairs to find trading opportunities. Use correlation coefficients, historical data, and technical analysis tools to identify pairs with high or low correlations. Develop a trading strategy: Based on your analysis, develop a trading strategy that aligns with your risk tolerance and goals. Decide whether you want to engage in hedging, pairs trading, or other correlation-based strategies. Create a trading plan that includes entry and exit points, risk management techniques, and position sizing guidelines. Implement risk management: Prioritize risk management to protect your capital. Set stop-loss orders to limit potential losses and take-profit orders to secure profits. Consider your risk-reward ratio and position size to manage risk effectively. Execute trades: When the conditions align with your trading plan, execute your trades through your trading platform. Monitor the market closely, and make adjustments or exit trades if the correlation dynamics change. Regularly review and adapt: Continuously evaluate the performance of your correlation-based trading strategy. Adjust your approach as needed based on market conditions, correlation changes, and the results of your trades. Keep learning and improving your skills as a forex trader. Conclusion: In conclusion, correlation analysis is a valuable tool for forex traders to gain insights into the relationships between currency pairs and make more informed trading decisions. By understanding the correlations, traders can effectively hedge their positions, diversify their portfolios, identify breakout opportunities, and implement carry trades. However, it's crucial to recognize that correlations are not fixed and can evolve over time, requiring traders to regularly monitor and adjust their strategies. By incorporating correlation analysis into their trading approach, forex traders can enhance their understanding of market dynamics and potentially improve their trading outcomes.

Understanding Forex Correlation 📈📉Hello Traders! 😃 In this education idea, we are going to cover Forex Correlation and how you can use this information to help you make wise decisions in the market. Let's get started on this important topic... What is Currency Correlation? A currency correlation in forex is a positive or negative relationship between two separate currency pairs. A positive correlation means that two currency pairs move in tandem, and a negative correlation means that they move in opposite directions. Correlations can provide opportunities to realize a greater profit, or they can be used to hedge your forex positions and exposure to risk. If you can be certain that one currency pair will move alongside or against another, then you can either open another position to maximize your profits, or you could open another position to hedge your current exposure in case volatility increases in the market. However, if your forecasts are wrong when trading currency correlations, or if the markets move in an unexpected way, you could incur a steeper loss, or your hedge could be less effective than anticipated. What is the Correlation Coefficient? The correlation coefficient measures the correlation between different assets – in this case, currency pairs. It ranges from one number to another representing a perfect or negative correlation. For example, Mataf - www.mataf.net uses a correlation coefficient above 80 and positive to indicate that currencies move in the same way. It also uses a correlation coefficient above 80 and negative to show that the currencies move in the opposite way. Why is it Important to Know if Currency Pairs are Positive or Negatively Correlated? Currency correlation is important for traders to understand because it can have a direct impact on forex trading​ results, often without the trader’s awareness. As an example, assume that a trader buys two different currency pairs that are negatively correlated. The gains in one may be offset by losses in the other, which is often used as a hedging strategy. Meanwhile, buying two correlated pairs may double the risk and profit potential, since both trades will result in a loss or profit. They are not fully independent since the pairs move in the same direction. What Are the Most Highly Correlated Currency Pairs? The most highly correlated currency pairs are usually those with close economic ties. For example, EUR/USD and GBP/USD are often positively correlated because of the close relationship between the euro and the British pound – including their geographic proximity, and their status as two of the world’s most widely-held reserve currencies. How to Trade Forex Pair Correlations? You can trade forex pair correlations by identifying which currency pairs have a positive or negative correlation to each other. In the conventional sense, you would open two of the same positions if the correlation was positive, or two opposing positions if the correlation was negative. This is because if there was a perfect negative correlation between USD/CAD and AUD/USD having a long position on both pairs would effectively cancel each other out since the pairs would be assumed to move in opposing directions. But, if the correlation was perfectly positive, separate long positions on different pairs might help to increase your profits – or it could increase your losses if your forecasts are incorrect. Final Thoughts Before entering a trade with multiple positions, refer to a currency correlation chart to ensure that the pairs are positive or negatively correlated. It's important not to assume because some currency pairs may appear to move the same due to have the same base currency, but that is not always the case. Traders, if you liked this idea and would like to see more education topics, please let me know in the comments! I'd love to hear your opinion! 😉

Potential for a Pull-back as it Correlates with DXYIf you've seen my other posts about this - Bitcoin has clear negative correlation with DXY. You could pull up the Correlation Coefficient indicator and make an argument that it correlates positively just as often as it does negatively, but when you compare the charts with each other, nearly every peak corresponds with a valley vs. the other and vice versa. They are typically offset by some period of time if not at the same time. Also, try setting CC length to 35 and it provides a more clear picture of its long-term correlation. Presently, Bitcoin looks like an inverse head and shoulders re-testing its neckline. Meanwhile, DXY looks like a head and shoulders with a pullback that hasn't quite reached the highs of its right shoulder. Also, each shoulder and head of both head and shoulders have eventually corresponded with each other, in opposite directions, and Bitcoin has yet to have made a pullback. However, it may skip the pullback altogether should DXY continue down and move back below ~98-101. Or, DXY could instead move up above ~105-106 leading to pattern failure on both, and a strong uptrend on DXY / strong downtrend on BTC. Let's see what happens next! Please see my related posts below in the links to related ideas. Thanks for reading!

CORRELATION IN TRADINGHave you ever noticed a time when a certain product went up and another similar product went down at around the same time? Or when that product went down and another product also went down at the same time? If the answer is yes, then what you noticed was 'product correlation' in action. What exactly is product correlation? In the financial markets, correlation is a statistical measure of how two products move in relation to each other. Product correlation tells us whether two products tend to move in the same or opposite direction or whether they move completely independently of each other without any discernible pairing pattern over a specific period of time. Let us look at an example from a Forex (currency pair) trade (visual chart examples further below): If EURUSD goes up and USDJPY goes down, this is called a NEGATIVE correlation and if GBPUSD goes down and AUDUSD also goes down, this is called a POSITIVE correlation. When trading forex in particular, it is vital to remember that since currencies are traded in pairs, no one currency pair is ever totally isolated. Therefore, if you plan on trading more than one currency pair at a time, it is very important to understand how different currency pairs move in relation to each other. Correlation also applies to other types of products such as gold, silver, stocks and indices. Let us take a more detailed look at how correlation is worked out. Correlation is computed into a number known as the "correlation coefficient". This number ranges between -1 and +1: •Perfect negative correlation (an exact correlation coefficient of -1) means that the two respective products will move in the opposite direction 100% of the time. •Perfect positive correlation (an exact correlation coefficient of +1) implies that the two respective products will move in the same direction 100% of the time. •If the correlation is 0, the movements between the two respective products are said to have no correlation and their movements are completely independent from each other. In other words, there is no way to predict how one product will move in relation to the other. POSITIVE CORRELATION NEGATIVE CORRELATION PLEASE NOTE!!! Although correlation exists in the financial markets, it is NOT set in stone as a guarantee. Firstly, the correlation coefficient between products in the financial markets is rarely, if ever, at +1 and -1. Secondly and more importantly, every individual product has its own UNIQUE supply and demand measures and also has buyers and sellers that have their own UNIQUE motivations and goals in relation to that specific product. When a product goes up or down, this does NOT necessarily mean that it will always follow in line or go the opposite way to another product. Trade safely and responsibly! BluetonaFX

"Tag, You're It: Understanding Forex Correlations in Simple TermForex correlation is like a game of tag. You know how when you're playing tag with your friends, you all run in different directions and some of you end up running together while others run in opposite directions? Well, in forex trading, currency pairs are like friends running around in different directions. Sometimes, two currency pairs move in the same direction, like when you and your friend are both running towards the same goal. This is called a positive correlation. Other times, two currency pairs move in opposite directions, like when you and your friend are running in opposite directions. This is called a negative correlation. Just like how you can tag your friend to switch positions, forex traders can use correlations to help them trade better. If two currency pairs have a positive correlation, a trader might buy one currency pair and sell the other, hoping to make a profit when both pairs go up. If two currency pairs have a negative correlation, a trader might buy one and sell the other to manage their risk. Remember, just like in tag, the way currency pairs move around can change depending on what's going on. So traders need to keep an eye on the news and be ready to change their strategies if needed.

JICPT| Gold range move, hesitate to test previous ceilingHello everyone, it's been a while since I published the last trade idea. Gold has been in a strong upward trend since last November against the backdrop of weakening US dollar index. I've add two lines in the chart for reference. Yellow line : the US dollar index. As we know, gold is priced in USD. Hence, gold and the USD normally has a negative correlation. You can seen that the gold price moved perfectly in the opposition direction of the index since Oct. purple line : China gold reserve. We can see China started to increase holding of gold from November. Due to the geopolitical tensions, China dumped over 400 billion US treasuries to diversify its foreign reserve. From my point of view, the two ceiling around $2073 marked in the chart is created by two different reasons. I don't think price will easily pass through it. The bottom is $1616. What I described above is the normal case. What if gold surpasses the ceiling of $2073? Though, the probability is low, it means investors loss the confident of fiat currency and turn to the gold just like those before World War 1. Give me a like if you're with me.

EURJPY v USDCHF Divergence Intro Due to their respective moves I have been considering the potential for a Short on EURJPY and a Long on USDCHF , independently of each other. However, if you overlay the two pairs an interesting pattern emerges. Separation Event In the past year there have been 4 separation events where the correlation has been broken before coming back together. These usually only last ~20 days. The last time this pattern completed was back in early Nov 2020, since then we have seen a massive widening as the two run in opposite directions. Trade Idea The trade idea proposed here is on a pretty large time frame, potentially 12 months or more. EURUSD is close to the inverse of USDCHF which makes me believe the Dollar will be the key factor. How the EUR and USD interact going forward could shape if we see this correlation turn around and move towards another touch.
