LTCUSD Litecoin CryptocurrencyApproaching Price Targets 144.00 and 146.00. So far, price action is moving as planned. We got the pull back into dynamic support and resistance which is the exponential moving average period 10 and exponential moving average period 20. We got a pull back to price level 124.50. We got a price action signal which was a bullish engulfing bar after the breakout... after closing above 124.50.

BTC | Waiting for that last gaspExciting times
BTC broke the psychological resistance, but without consistency, and I'm in the opinion that it can not be sustained for the long term
I'm not sure where the top will be, so I based the potential run on the last bull run that happened in late 2017 while taking into account
that there are bigger players in the market now. I've kept in mind that the fundamentals are telling me that institutions are FOMOing
into the market along with the rest of the retail investors which could be one of the primary driving factors.
Assuming we see anywhere between a 2x to 4x move, with the 2x being shown to remain conservative,
I've outlined potential areas where the next bear run could take over while expecting a future rebound
that would create a higher breakout based on a 2 - 4 year timeline
Based on historical data, we can safely assume that a proper correction will have anywhere between a 30% to 80% drop from the top.
We have yet to see this, so I'm waiting for that last gasp in which I'll be buying incrementally on the way down as momentum fades
This run is a long term game and could last anywhere from the end of the month as well as into next spring,
but I do remain in the opinion that BTC will correct at some point returning to a higher low in which the next
accumulation phase will begin and it will most likely be the last time we see anything below the $20k range
Right now is the time to be taking profits, and observing, while waiting for those small corrective dips on the way up to
build on those returns. So far, the market seems persistent on setting a new ATH and that is yet to be seen
Regardless, I expect to see some interesting market moves in either direction before we return to the $12k - $20k range
where new support will take place and bigger players will plan to buy up while the rest of the market cools down
So far, the 20 week and 50 week are still showing numbers in the teens and we will have to test these areas at some point
on the lower bound.
In conclusion, I think overall that BTCs future is bright and that in the long term it will do more than just compete
with national currencies and international regulatory bodies.
What Are These Moving Averages?Moving averages rely on past data, they are considered to be lagging or trend following indicators. Regardless, they still have great power to cut through the noise and help determine where a market may be heading.
Different types of moving averages
There are various different types of moving averages that can be used by traders. Despite the various types, the MAs are most commonly broken down into two separate categories: simple moving averages (SMA) and exponential moving averages (EMA). Depending on the market and desired outcome, traders can choose which indicator will most likely benefit their setup.
The simple moving average
The SMA takes data from a set period of time and produces the average price of that security for the data set. The difference between an SMA and a basic average of the past prices is that with SMA, as soon as a new data set is entered, the oldest data set is ignored. So if the simple moving average calculates the mean based on 10 days worth of data, the entire data set is constantly being updated to only include the last 10 days.
It's important to note that all data inputs in an SMA are weighted equally, regardless of how recently they were inputted. Traders who believe that there's more relevance to the newest data available often state that the equal weighting of the SMA is detrimental to the technical analysis. The exponential moving average (EMA) was created to address this problem.
The exponential moving average
EMAs are similar to SMAs in that they provide technical analysis based on past price changes. Nevertheless, the equation is a bit more complicated because an EMA assigns more weight and value to the most recent price inputs. Although both averages have value and are widely used, the EMA is more responsive to sudden price fluctuations and reversals.
Cause EMAs are more likely to project price reversals faster than SMAs, they are often especially preferred by traders who are interested in short-term trading. It is important for a trader or investor to choose the type of moving average according to his personal strategies and goals, adjusting the settings accordingly.
MAs of 50, 100, and 200 days are the most commonly used.
How to trade with MA?
Generally, a rising MA suggests an upward trend(acts as a support when rising under a price) and a falling MA indicates a downtrend(acts as resistance when falling above a price). Though, a moving average alone is not a really reliable and strong indicator. Therefore, MAs are constantly used in combination to spot bullish and bearish crossover signals.
A crossover signal is created when two different MAs crossover in a chart. A bullish crossover (also known as a golden cross) happens when the short-term MA crosses above a long-term one, suggesting the start of an upward trend. In contrast, a bearish crossover (or death cross) happens when a short-term MA crosses below a long-term moving average, which indicates the beginning of a downtrend.
One major downside of MAs is their delay time. Since MAs are lagging indicators that consider previous price action, the signals are often too late. For example, a bullish crossover may suggest a buy, but it may only happen after a significant rise in price.
This suggests that even if the uptrend continues, potential profit may have been lost in that period between the rise in price and the crossover signal. Or even worse, a false golden cross signal may lead a trader to buy the local top just before a price drop. These fake buy signals are usually referred to as a bull trap.
To put it all in a nutshell, Moving Averages are powerful TA indicators and one of the most widely used. The ability to analyze market trends in a data-driven way provides great penetration into how a market is performing. Remember that MAs and crossover signals should not be used alone and it is always more reliable to combine different TA indicators in order to avoid fake signals.

CHFJPY Trade opportunity (2 week trade setuHi everyone, I am exhausted. I have been up until 5am these past couple nights charting, and letting out blog posts, so it is nice to be able to post a bit earlier and get a good night of sleep. Anyway, let's get into the trade setup.-
The pair we are looking at today is CHFJPY. What initially intrigued me about this pair, was the elliott wave structure on the 15 minute.
Elliott wave analysis: As you can see from my chart, we have appeared to have just finished a wave 2, meaning that we have the opportunity to catch what the strongest part of this wave. By the time you are reading this, we have most likely missed the chance to catch the wave A, or the wave B, so use this time to position yourself for the wave C. At the moment, wave B hasn't yet unfolded, so I recommend proceeding with extreme caution. I would not recommend trying to catch the low of the wave B, since they tend to be extremely confusing when they unfold. My estimate for the wave B, is that it will hit somewhere around 114.9. This area is the top of the previous base channel, which is a strong support, and it is also the wave 4 of the previous wave A, meaning that there is lots of support here. And there happens to be around where the 55 ema on the 15 minute is. There is no guarantee that this will unfold in the wave count provided, so proceed with caution. Ideally some confirmation that wave c is starting would be nice. So if we bounce off of the support and hit past the previous high, I would see this as enough confirmation to get in.
The target for this trade is 115.698, and I would see a break past the 200 ema on the 15 minute as a sign to get out of the trade.
Moving average analysis: On the 15 minute, we have fanned out quite a bit, and this justifies the pullback for the wave B, and then a greater jump to higher highs in the future.
On the on hour, we have seen a golden cross, meaning that the longer term outlook for this pair is bullish, and in turn, this means that the chance this is a wave 3 move is quite likely.
MACD analysis: On the 15 minute time frame we have crossed and are headed down, which is exactly what I would expect for this chart. I could see a small cross into the negative side or maybe even a touch of the zero line and a reversal back up to the target. It all depends on where wave B will end.
RSI Analysis: The rsi on the 15 minute also confirms the count I have outlined.
As visible from my chart, we seem to be bearishly diverging on the short term, which again supports the idea that we are headed down for a wave B and then back up for a wave C. The reason why I don't think we are headed very far down, is because we seem to have crossed into the overbought territory, but not so much to make me think that we are completely out of steam. I see that this move on the rsi, is a sign that we are going to make a small stop down before we head back up. In addition to this, on the one hour time frame, we have repeatedly tested the resistance to break into the overbought territory, and this makes me believe that we are about to break through it after a small wave B down, and when we break through, we will begin our ascent to the target.
All in all, I hope that you guys have found my analysis very helpful in pointing out what is happening. Right now this is all speculation, so I wouldn't start jumping in, but instead I would wait until what I have said starts actually happening. As it starts to happen, I would recommend buying in. I wish you the best of luck in the last 2 trading days of the market, and as always check out my twitter to receive instant notification of when I see another trade setup.
Also, a little reminder to everyone and myself included, it is important to count the waves as they appear. Even if they don't create the prettiest of counts, the price action never is wrong, and I find if you try and fit the price action into a symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing count, you aren't actually able to predict much of the future, you are just organizing what has passed. So i hope this has been helpful for everyone, and enjoy your night.
Time For A Comeback? | ABN Amro LongEURONEXT:ABN has not been performing well since the peak of januari 2018. Since then it has steadily dropped from 28 euro's to 18. Where at first it looked like it has found its bottem there. However the price quickly broke support, made support new resistance and dropped 60% from there. After that 60% drop the stock has found its bottom around €5.70 which is 80% from it's peak.
On this weekly chart of ABN Amro, we can see a white line. That line is the 21 exponential moving average. This line has been support in the period of August 2016 all the way to the peak. After that, the 21 ema became resistance. Right now the price has already touched the line twice and it seems like it wants to break that line.
What we also notice is the high amount of volume which can be found at the bottom area. This implies that investors are willing to buy this stock at these levels. The next cluster of volume can be found all the way at €16,-. What this means is that as soon as the 21 ema breaks, the price can rise up very quickly because there hasn't been formed any resistance or support on the way down.
To summarize: We have a stock which has fallen 80% from its all time high, The VPVR suggests that buyers are willing to step in at this price, The 21 EMA is likely to be broken and lastly the next big resistance is all the way at €16,- which gives this trade a potential of 100%.
Cardano Rests On Support | I Am Extremely BullishIn my previous post about BINANCE:ADABTC , I mentioned that Cardano came down to the support zone for the first time since september 2018. At that point, the price just came down to support an made a slight recovery from it.
The week has passed and this week is also coming to an end and Cardano is still resting on support which is extremely bullish. Right now we can see the 21 EMA (the white line) come up. In the history of cardano, the ema provided the currency with support and resistance. So what i would like to see is that the price would come down to the ema which at that point is in the green support zone. This would reinforce the idea that Cardano would go up from here.
To summarize: I am extremely bullish on cardano. Cardano hit support for the first time since september 2018 and right now it is resting on it. We also have the 21 ema creeping up to provide more support for cardano.
