* FOMC WATCH/BOUNCE WATCH . August US Housing Starts came in 12.2% higher than in July and Building Permits came in 10% lower . So more people were buying homes than in the month prior as if the economic situation was improving, or maybe they were trying to lock in a rate they won't see until 2025 or 2026. And less people were building, which is more in line with what one might expect as the world is on the brink of a deep recession. Today's residential construction data should force the Federal Reserve to go with a 100bps FFR hike tomorrow but the odds are still in favor of it being a 75bps hike. Cryptos, Equities, Futures, Gold, EURUSD and Energy are all down while DXY, US Treasuries and VIX are up once again. It's only logical to assume that the DXY will continue its correlative relationship with rising FFR hikes; not to mention the added boost that an official announcement of global economic recession would give to USD. The 13th GDPNow US Q3 GDP estimate came in at 0.3% compared to 0.5% on 09/15 . Key Upcoming Dates: FOMC meeting 09/20-09/21 (Statement Released at 2pm EST on 09/21); S&P US September Manufacturing PMI at 945am EST 09/23.*
Price is currently trending down at $19k and is still technically testing $19417 major support for a third consecutive session. Volume is Moderate (high) and has been fairly balanced between buyers and sellers in the past few sessions, indicative of speculation before an upcoming major event. Parabolic SAR flips bullish at $22100, this margin is mildly bullish at the moment. RSI is currently trending down at 39 after being rejected by 42.41 resistance, the next support is the uptrend line from 01/22 at ~30-32. Stochastic remains bearish after a rejected crossover attempt and is currently testing 29.70 support. MACD is bearish for the third consecutive session and is currently trending down at -452, the next support is at -869. ADX is currently trending up slightly at 21 as Price continues trend lower, this is mildly bearish at the moment.
If Price is able to bounce here (and defend $19417 support) then it will likely retest the 50 MA + the uptrend line from 06/18/22 at ~$21.4k as resistance . However, if Price continues to break down here, it will likely retest the uptrend line from March 2017 at ~$15k as support for the first time since September 2020. Mental Stop Loss: (two consecutive closes above) $20k.

Bitcoin can go lower but a professional sees a LONG opportunityTL;DR - We are at a major support area (20k - previous ATH from 2017. Despite all the "we are in a bear market" nonsense, as price has continued lower, probability for bullish price action has grown. A professional trader knows this and so looks for specific price action in support areas like this to trade. We now have a perfect example of this.
The sentiment is extremely low in Crypto and in the wider market. Everyone KNOWS we are in a recession / bear market and price will 1000% go lower! When the market is screaming from the rooftops that something is a certainty, it is extremely likely that this assumption is wrong (check out my last post to see why we aren't in a bear market - shameless plug). Markets are random entities - no one person decides where a market goes and so even if there is insurmountable evidence that a market must move in a certain direction, more often than not this does not happen.
Take Covid for an example - the world economy stops and millions die. Yet after just one month of declining prices the stock market and crypto market enter the strongest bull market ever seen in human history. For nearly two years as waves of disease spread and rippling lockdowns shutdown travel affecting billions of lives, stocks and crypto went far higher than even before the pandemic had destroyed the world. And no one could have predicted that would happen.
Now (in a much more complex picture of geopolitical and macro-economic climate) your barber is telling you we are in a recession so get ready to buy stocks/crypto in 18 months as that's the average length of a bear market and Oh baby there's going to be a massive bull market after! What do you think will happen?
In a much more clinical (yet over simplified) explanation: when the majority of market participants have bias in a certain direction, their actions in the market (in this case selling) have already been executed. When most people are bearish, this means most people have sold and so the number of sellers in the market runs out, allowing for bullish price action to emerge. As such, when most people are bearish that is often when the bearish movement is close to exhaustion.
This is why professionals never let news influence their mindset. Instead they attempt to contextualise the market that they are looking at to see if it has a favourable probability towards either bullish or bearish trades. This might be understanding we are in a recession but realising that sentiment is overly bearish to
With Bitcoin the context is: A bearish wave that has exhausted much of its potential as black swan events have driven prices well beyond true value. This means that there is a higher than 50% chance of bullish price action emerging from support levels. This is a fact, not an opinion - it doesn't matter if you think we are in a bear market (we aren't check out my previous post), the simple fact is that is it more likely than not that price will go bullish on supports than break them down. Once the professional trader has established this, they then look for the appropriate area and signal.
Now we have established the context of the over all market (and that there is a statistical probability of favour of bullish price action at the moment, above is the breakdown of the exact area and signal someone would look for. Bitcoin is sat on a historic support area (2017 high), and has tested the 20k level once already in the past few weeks before returning to it now. This in itself isn't good enough, we also need a confirmation that price action is reacting bullish. This has come in the form of a hammer candlestick pattern. The psychology of this pattern is as follows: The candle opened high and during the course of its time the bears tried to break price down through the support area. Bulls quickly and decisively took control of price, closing the candle at its high. This means there is a statistical probability that the bears have failed to break down the support area and bullish price action will emerge in the near future. We confirm this by waiting for the following candle to break the high of the hammer candlestick. Combine this statistical probability of bullishness and the fact that it is more likely than not that bullish price action will emerge from a support area given the context of the market and we have ourselves a trade opportunity that, if repeated 100 times, would mean we make money more than 50% of the time. In each of those trades, if we net $100 in the winning trades and only lose $50 in the losing trades we. will. make. money. That is it. that is how professionals trade (sounds dam easy right? The hard part is disciplining yourself not to fomo in btw).
The next step is to apply that "net $100, only lose $50" aspect. The hammer candlestick also gives us a blueprint to do this. Psychologically speaking, if the hammer candlestick has it's low broken down, that voids the market's behaviour that formed it (i.e that the bears tried to break lower and the bulls took it back so there's a statistical chance of more bullishness). If the low is broken, this means the circumstances that give us a statistical probability of being right (in this case bullish) are void and so we trigger our stop loss - and there we have it, we have our stop loss level. The stop loss is set at the low of the hammer candle because if that low is taken out it tells us that the bears are still strong and statistically there is not as high a chance of bulls taking over price action.
The pattern also gives us an appropriate entry. This entry is designated by the high of the hammer candlestick being broken by the following candle (in this case this has already happened).
And finally the target ( this completes the 'making the $100 to losing the $50', otherwise known as risk/reward). This is a bit more complex to explain but given the context of bearish price action pulling Bitcoin down from 65k to 20k, we can expect selling to be heavy on any retrace (because most people think we are in a bear market and so will say things like "Bitcoin has gone up to quickly for a recession!" and so sell or reinforce shorts). This means targets need to be relatively pessimistic and so targeting the closest support/turned resistance is appropriate. In this case the 29k-32k. Here is where a bit of math comes in.
To make $100 for every $50 we lose, that translates into winning $2 dollars (reward) for every $1 we lose (risk). This gives us a reward/risk of 2:1. The industry standard is to flip those around as it is known as 'risk/reward' and so that means that to make a profit in trading we need to only take part in trades that at a minimum have a 1:2 risk/reward.
Incoming maths: With this risk/reward ratio, we can lose 2 trades for every 1 trade we get right and still break even. And so if we wait for circumstances that have a higher than 50% chance of us being correct, then statistically we will be profitable. Broken down further, with this risk/reward ratio, we only need to be right 33.3% of the time to break even (100% is the sum total of times traded with this risk/reward, split into three trades

MACD remains bullish and is currently forming a soft peak as it trends up slightly at 22 and approaches a test of 27.77 resistance. ADX is currently trending up slightly at 16 as Price continues to push higher, this is mildly bullish.
If Price is able to bounce off of $1711 minor support then the next likely target is a retest of $1941 resistance . However, if Price breaks down below $1711 minor support, it will likely retest the 50 MA at ~$1675 as support before potentially retesting the uptrend line from 06/18/22 at ~$1650 as support .

*In the August Employment Situation, Nonfarm Payrolls increased by 315,000 and Unemployment finally bucked the 7 month trend of declining or staying flat by increasing .2% from 3.5% in July to 3.7% in August. Cryptos and Equities rallied off the news early in the session and are currently in the red. After almost 6 months of Federal Reserve intervention via hawkish monetary policy... the Unemployment Rate finally goes up a bit, this slightly strengthens the credibility of the Fed in proving that their demand side interventions are starting to be effective (even if it's slight).

Bitcoin | A Trend Reversal or a Trend Continuation Pattern?Bitcoin | A Trend Reversal or a Trend Continuation Pattern?
Since the previous week when Powell spoke on "Jackson Hole Symposium" both Stocks and Crypto
market are suffering losses.
It looks like that bearish shadow is still covering the markets and the rumors for
an interest rate hike from FED one ne next meeting is not helping
the market at all to recover.
We can see a very clear triangle pattern that can push the price in both direction.

WBT | WhiteBIT Token | Cup and Handle Pattern | Bullish VolumeWhat is WhiteBIT Token?
WBT is a utility token of the largest European cryptocurrency exchange, WhiteBIT.
The platform was established in 2018 and has already become one of the leading crypto exchanges with 3+ mln users worldwide.
They launched their token on August 22 (this month).
As the price is developing we can see that the first pattern that is taking shape on the 4 hour time
frame is a "Cup and Handle Pattern".
This is a bullish pattern now showing that the price has a very high potential for the next bullish wave.
I am keeping conservative targets for the time being for the 3-rd wave development of the Elliot Wave but it can
also extend up to the 5-the wave and to complete probably higher than the 5-th wave that I have pointed out on the chart.
However considering the increase of the volume that the token should have, considering that it is very new, the price
should rise faster during the coming days.
Thank you and Good Luck!
Types of Cup & Handle Pattern
When The Cup & Handle Pattern is completed in a Bullish Trend it is classified as a "Bullish Trend Continuation Pattern"
When The Cup & Handle Pattern is completed in a Bearish Trend it is classified as a "Bearish Trend Continuation Pattern"
Targets
A minimum profit target for this pattern is the measured distance between the bottom and top of the cup.
This distance is added to the price in the sharing area.
This is the minimum profit target that applies to this model and we should know that the price may also continue the movement of the major trend.

*This bearish week was marked by degrading economic data from China, Germany and the USA, stoking global recession fears once again. China is currently seeing a weaker consumer (due to still ongoing effects of the Covid lockdowns), heat waves affecting factories, a weakening property sector (in need of infrastructural support) and slower export growth as a result of the massive global supply chain restructuring currently taking place. Germany is still reeling from sanctions and interruptions regarding the Nord Stream Pipeline as they prepare for a energy shortage this winter while the Rhine River is reportedly seeing a drought that has affected their ability to load barges to full capacity, adding to the economic growth woes they are likely to face for the remainder of the year. Meanwhile, the USA remains committed to tightening further and raising central bank interest rates beyond neutral as the US Housing and Credit market begins to show signs of weakness; this has led to a drop in the forecast for Q3 GDP. Though bearish at the moment, the uptrend in Bitcoin remains supported as long as it stays above $20k psychological support (also the uptrend line from 06/18/22). Key Upcoming Dates: S&P US August PMI at 945am EST 08/23; US Q2 Final GDP Estimate at 830am EST 08/25; US July PCE at 830am EST 08/26; UofM Final August Sentiment Survey Index at 10am EST 08/26; Jackson Hole Economic Symposium on 08/25-08/27.*
