Short term sell - wait for a trend breakoutAs you can see today was a strong trading day for the France 40. We saw 5 large consecutive green candles which actually broke out above the regression trend. I think at the moment we can sell this market down to that green line within the regression trend which is where you need to be cautious about another increase. One thing that was surprising was that massive break above that Key Resistance level. I think that this reinforces the idea that this market isn't done increasing which is backed up by the now positive ADX indicating that we still have a strong uptrend. You can also see by the trader sentiments that we are starting to see some sellers forming. If you are thinking about buying into this uptrend make sure we fully clear this resistance line and be aware at the fact that we are now at a 10 year high. If we can fully clear this level I don't see why we can't look for that all time high of 6118.5 which is where I would place the very top of the market.

USDJPY- Long Term Clear UptrendFor all the swing traders out there who tend to keep their trades for a long period of time, keep a note that the previous resistance is now acting like a support as we can see that the support was broken on September 2014 and then the price retested it several times From May to November 2016. But failed to break the new found support. On the long term perspective this is a clear uptrend on the Monthly Time Frame.
Happy Trading... :)
One small retrace for Bitcoin, one final BTC rocket to the moon!As we see Bitcoin lose 10% of it's market cap in 6 hours, it would be easy to worry of a fall to 6k and beyond (and let's be clear there is still risk!). In the short term, things do look bearish, but this could be the setup to a midterm bull market and new ATHs!
As BTC makes it way down the 9s, it will meet resistance at 9.4-9.6k. Ideally we would see a bit of a bounce here before retesting it and letting the bears have their way. The number we want to be working down towards is 8.9k and this is for 2 reasons:
1. This is where the .500 fib retracement is from the 2 week bull run
2. This is where the right shoulder of a head and shoulder pattern would form which started all the way back in early Jan
Credit on the H&S goes to @krototar who posted about this a week ago. Whilst it isn't a slam dunk, the fact it matches very close to the 50% retrace gives me confidence that we could see the market bounce there in the next 3/4 days. I'm afraid you may bleed in the meantime, but this is where you learn!
Ready yourself for those buy orders if we get confirmation of a bounce on Sunday/Monday!
