S&P 500 Long Term Bullish ContinuationWith the current uncertainty regarding the global economy and fears of recession, VANTAGE:SP500 has already dropped approx. 20% in the last few weeks.
However, currently price has retraced to the long term support trend line which perfectly aligns with the 2020 top, turning it into an attractive S&R level where price could find support.
Even if price does not find support here, current market price is still a very good accumulation area for long term buyers and investors!

It's time to buy Bitcoin!Hello, traders
According to elliott wave count, If BTC has completed it's macro wave (IV), then we can expect it moving to complete it's macro wave (V).
In this case if recently impulse move is counted as micro wave (i), then we can expect reversal from 81-79K region very soon.
Otherwise, if micro count gets Invalid, then reversal can be expected from up to 76-70k.
Important key level is breakout of 95k which would confirm reverse in trend.

RSI + BB strategy - the strong duo you will ever need to win Hello traders!
This article shares with you a strategy employing two famous indicators that have stood the test of time and used by professionals and amateurs alike. A solid trading plan needs at least one solid strategy which will be your bread and butter. You can always add more strategies or game plans to your repertoire but you need to master one. Trading can be as complicated or simple as you make it. To make sense of it all, you should always try to be realistic and stick to a trading plan which is "simple and stupid" so that you free your mind from overthinking and focus on the market movements instead. A good strategy, along with constant market trend analysis, good risk management, news awareness and emotion control can ultimately transition you to being a consistent profitable trader. Indeed, there are times where the odds will not be in your favour and you will have losing trades. However, the key to success is to think of trading as a game of probability and developing a winning edge that ensures you are profiting more than losing. A 1:2 RRR is the least you have to accept when entering a trade, else sit tight and wait for the next opportunity. As Jesse Livermore quoted, "It never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It always was my sitting. Got that? My sitting tight!".
RSI
Developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. In 1978, the relative strength index is a momentum indicator that measures the speed and magnitude of price changes. At 70+, RSI is considered overbought and a retracement in price may occur. At 30-, RSI is considered oversold and price may go up. The middle line is the mean of recent prices, usually during a 14 days period.
BB
Developed by John Bollinger much later in the 1980s, BB is a volatility indicator which measures the speed and extent of price changes. A wider band signals high volatility and a narrow band signals low volatility. When price reaches the upper band, the asset is considered overbought and price may retract. When price reaches the lower band, the asset is considered oversold, meaning there are less and less sellers in the market and price may go up. The middle line is usually a simple moving average, showing the mean price across a time period.
RSI + BB strategy
The combination relies, and truthfully so, on the fact that the price of an asset usually hovers around its mean. Unless there are significant macroeconomic changes and news are strong (ultimately forming a new trend), price does not deviate much from its mean. It continues and builds its existing trend and moves up and down the moving average. By meauring both the momentum and volatility of the price, while keeping an eye on the direction of the trend, a trader can place small trades with a minimum 1:2 RRR as the asset moves in a range, an uptrend or a downtrend. The indicators give you insight on where to buy and place your SL and TP.
Trading set ups
- RSI 70+, BB touching upper band, no news, BB horizontal (showing a ranging market), price at major resistance zone - sell because price is likely to move through the moving average towards to lower band
- RSI 30-, BB touching lower band, no news, BB horizontal (showing a ranging market), price at major support zone- buy because price is likely to move through the moving average towards to upper band
- RSI 70+, BB touching upper band (price climbing up the BB ladder), BB moving upwards (uptrend), strong good news - buy because price is in uptrend and trend is likely to continue
- RSI 30-, BB touching lower band (price falling off the BB cliff), strong bad news - sell because price is in downtrend and trend is likely to continue
Sitting tight
-Playing on a 1hr timeframe, there won't be many instances when all these stars align. That is when you sit tight and wait.
- When price is hovering in between the RSI grid and BB band - sit tight and wait because the odds are not in your favour and it is impossible to predict which way price will move. Let the market do its thing, protect your capital and wait for the market to show you what to do next.
Note
- When the conditions are met, always enter the trade as soon as you get confirmation. If you are late in entry, skip the trade and wait
- Place your SL just above the upper BB if selling or just below the lower BB if buying
- TP is essential so you can lock in profits, especially in ranging markets where price quickly touches the BB band and bounces back. If you are in a trade and not able to monitor it, a TP ensures you have closed your trade at your desired and predicted price. TP is placed close to the lower band if selling or close to the upper band if buying
-Ensure that all your other criteria such as news, RRR and emotion control are met to enter a trade. If one is not met, this trade is not for you.
- Familiarise yourself using alerts. You have to be able to be present when the opportunity presents itself. Tradingview's lowest paid plan gives you 20 alerts, which is more than sufficient if you are focusing on 4-5 assets only. Alerts add to your winning edge and enable you to be trading the best set ups when they form.
Please do not hesitate to share your thoughts if you do use RSI and/or BB and have had positive outcomes. :)
GL to all!
Bitcoin Buy!I'll be buying for that point of interest 78544.71 if I see confirmation for reversal. Though H8 zone 79100.20 looks valid too as the price has triggered it and rejects it awesomely.
My projection is this new week is going to be Bullish not just for Bitcoin but some other. Crypto pairs too.
I'm bullish on Eth as well.
SUI-USDT Analysis: Watching Key Support at $1.75Hello Traders,
The price of SUI-USDT has been locked in a consistent downtrend, marked by a series of lower highs and lower lows. However, the asset is now testing a critical support level that could determine whether we see a relief bounce or a continuation of the decline.
Key Highlights:
• Price is approaching $1.75, a major support zone with confluence from the Value Area Low (VAL), HTF support, and a possible Swing Failure Pattern (SFP).
• If this level holds, there’s potential for a relief rally up to $2.78 over the coming days.
• A break below $1.75 opens the door to a deeper pullback toward $0.57, the next significant support.
SUI is currently sitting at support, and while it’s possible to see short-term candle closes above this region, confirmation is still needed before any strong bullish bias can be adopted. This is a level where patience and discipline will pay off — entering prematurely could result in getting trapped in a deeper leg down.
Overall, the market structure remains bearish. Unless the pattern of lower highs and lower lows is broken, momentum will continue to favor the downside. Holding $1.75 is crucial for any chance at a rotation higher.
Gold opens lower and moves lower, the rebound continues to be beThe gold 1-hour moving average crosses downwards and the short positions are arranged, and it continues to open downwards. So gold is now the home of the shorts. Gold rebounds or continues to be short. Gold is now in a short trend under the gap. Gold rebounds around 3050 and continues to be short.
Trading ideas: short gold near 3050, stop loss 3060, target 3030
Gold Rally Pauses, But Bullish Trend HoldsOngoing Risks Support Gold’s Long-Term Bullish Outlook
Despite recent market volatility, the drivers behind gold’s rally remain intact. Mohamed El-Erian raised U.S. recession odds to 50%, while Goldman Sachs raised theirs to 35%. The Fed has warned of slower growth and higher inflation due to tariffs, and gold's role as a hedge against these risks is vital.
Focus on Upcoming Data
Next week, key data will be in focus: the FOMC minutes on Wednesday, CPI report on Thursday, and consumer sentiment data on Friday. If CPI surprises to the upside or the FOMC minutes reveal a more dovish stance, gold could see renewed buying interest. Traders should view pullbacks as buying opportunities, as inflation, trade tensions, and recession risks continue to support gold.
Technical Outlook
If gold tests support at $3,000.28 and holds, it may attract new buyers. A break below could bring the $2,852.34 level into play. Shorting is risky, but if pursued, exit over $3,167.84 with objectives at $3,000.28, $2,852.34, and the 52-week moving average at $2,601.40.
$BTC Breakdown – Updated View
Bitcoin is currently trading near $78,828, struggling to maintain bullish momentum after a sharp retrace from the $85K region.
🔸 Key Support Zone at $77.5K:
BTC is sitting on a short-term critical support at $77.5K. Holding this level could provide a short relief bounce.
However, a confirmed breakdown below $77.5K will likely accelerate the downside pressure.
🔸 Next Support Levels:
If $77.5K breaks:
$74K – $72K becomes the next key zone
Below that, $66K – $60K might act as mid-level supports
In a worst-case bearish scenario, $55K – $50K could be targeted
🔸 Risk Level at $72K:
Losing $72K with volume would invalidate bullish structure and increase the risk of a deeper correction.
🔸 Bullish Recovery Needs:
BTC must reclaim and sustain above $80K, then $85K
Clean break above $85K could restart the bullish rally toward $90K+
🔸 Action Plan:
Watch $77.5K closely for reaction
Breakdown = prepare for $72K test
Bounce = potential retest of $80K- FWB:83K
Resistance Levels in altcoins Concurrent with the indices being at major inflection points crypto has broadly also filled major inflection points.
Let's look at the different setups.
First we have SOL in the main chart. Inset is the BTC high before the 2022 bear market. Different in a few ways but both the same general idea of a nominal spike above the previous high that fits inside of a harmonic pattern.
Most of the things we're going to be looking at have extreme bullish momentum at time of writing but the patterns we're going to be looking at all forecast extreme momentum into their fills. For example, in SOL we are using a harmonic. If this was the end of a harmonic, we'd have just seen the D leg.
It is a hard set rule of all harmonics that the most aggressive part of the move is the D leg. Always. The defining characteristic of a D leg is exceptional momentum that builds to the point of looking unstoppable. So anything based on momentum, breaks of anything that's not the actionable fib levels, candle patterns etc - these are all annulled.
The D leg is defined by being exceptional by all momentum metrics.
I'm sure the other recurring point made against my ideas here will be the halving cycle break out and it's not being enough days yet etc etc. I still have my doubts about the efficacy of the halving thing. I need longer to determine 4 year cycles. Breakout did come right when predicted through. Well done to those who benefited from that.
My stance on the halving theory hasn't changed because
when people brought it up before I always just told them I don't care. I'm trading TA patterns. They'll get me out early if I am wrong. I'm going to make 1,000s of trades in my life - lots of them will be wrong. It's fine. Everything you can explain with the halving I can explain with fib breaks.
And it's still conspicuous to me that BTC and indices continue to move in tandem. Meaning we'd have to class the halving as coincidence or a driver of indices moves.
But none of that matters to me. The TA implications if the reversal patterns fail here are quite similar to the bulls halving forecasts. If we break we may end up agreeing on the same thing for different reasons. Or if this is just stop gaming / FOMO inducing, we should be at or very near the end of it now.
I like the fibs.
Here's some other patterns;
Bearish drop?The Swissie (USD/CHF) has reacted off the pivot which is a pullback resistance and could drop to the 1st support which has been identified as a pullback support.
Pivot: 0.8629
1st Support: 0.8405
1ast Resistance: 0.8769
