ETH - TRIO RETEST 3️⃣Dear TradingView community and fellow traders,
I find the daily chart for ETH to be interesting as it appears to be forming one of my favorite patterns. What I call TRIO RETEST
Here is why the purple circle is a strong zone to keep an eye on:
1 => Overall Trend
ETH is bullish medium-term trading inside the rising broadening wedge in blue and now approaching the lower blue bound / trendline acting as a non-horizontal support.
2 => Demand Zone
The green zone at 2250.0 is a strong demand.
3 => Oversold Zone
ETH is bearish short-term trading inside the falling channel in red and now approaching the lower red trendline which I consider an oversold zone.
As per my trading style:
As ETH approaches the purple circle zone, I will be looking for bullish reversal setups (like a double bottom pattern, trendline break, and so on...)
📚 Hope you find this post useful. It's important to always adhere to your trading plan, including entry points, risk management strategies, and trade management techniques.

ETHBTC is about to make a historical moveAnything that follows is not to be taken as financial advice.
This is the Binance weekly chart for ETHBTC, with a single indicator loaded on: the Bollinger Bands Width Percentile.
The BBWP is a volatility indicator that measures whether or not we should be looking for the price action of the examined asset to contract or expand in relation to its own past volatility, calculated by the BBW.
Simply put, it tells us if we should be expecting the asset to be in a mostly sideways price action, or if it's appropriate to look for expansion.
Make no mistake, volatility is a direction-neutral indicator, meaning it's inherently neither bullish nor bearish.
We can see some flashing red and blue bars in the background, they're there to warn us about an extremely high (red) volatility environment, or an extremely low (blue) one.
Generally, when the asset is in an extremely high volatility environment, it's wise to expect it to cool off, therefore looking for price action to generally reduce its turbulent behavior.
This implies the exact opposite for when the volatility is extremely low.
With default settings, which I'm running, extremely high volatility is considered to be between 98% and 100%, while extremely low volatility is found between 0% and 2%.
Let's focus on the blue bars for this analysis.
Only once in the history of this chart, two weeks straight of extremely low volatility can be observed.
From there, the expansion led to an initial move up, and then ultimately a move down of -26.95% from the open of next week to the lowest point of the move.
Right now, ETHBTC is waiting for a massive expansion after twelve weeks straight of extremely low volatility.
If it was to expand to the downside from this point, a move of roughly the same impact would see this asset retest the june 2022 low.
However, spending more time contracting, usually means having a more explosive move when the time comes.
In the case of a downside move, I don't think it would be too crazy to look for a retest of Q1 2021 highs, anywhere around the 0.045 level.
That would make for about a -33% move from here, but I'd say there's fair concern for said move ending up being more destructive than that.
This could happen along with BTCUSD breaking into a new bull market while ETHUSD fails to catch up just like it did in the past, although that's just speculation on my part.
Remember, volatility is direction-neutral, while price action might look bearish right now, there is no way to tell where a future sustained volatility expansion might lead this asset to.
Personally speaking, I believe that if it were to expand to the upside, a retest of the ATH would definetely be within reach, seeing as ETHBTC has been consolidating for about 22 months.
It would certainly result in a massive move, more than a 2x from here, since the ATH is around 0.15 and the asset is now trading at around 0.067, but we've seen crazier things in crypto.
Whenever the expansion happens, and wherever it brings ETHBTC to, good luck and stay safe.
EURJPY - Following The Bulls ↗️Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders,
📈 EURJPY has been overall bullish, trading inside the rising channel in blue and it is currently approaching the lower blue trendline.
Moreover, the zone 150.0 is a robust round number and demand zone.
🎯 Therefore, the highlighted blue circle represents a significant area to consider for potential buy setups , as it marks the intersection of the green demand and lower blue trendline.
📚 As per my trading style:
As EURJPY approaches the blue circle zone, I will be actively searching for bullish reversal setups to capture the next bullish impulse movement.
📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.
Good luck!

Will History Repeat With LTCLtc is riding a macro support while coming to the end of this correction/ bear phase. RSI is at a historic value that has resulted in reversal highlighted by the white vertical lines.
Both downtrends have nearly identical timeframes.
This could be a place to take a small position in LTC.
This also seems like a make or break position for Litecoin in the PA.
I am also going to add a chart looking at the Ltc/btc pairing.

The most important chart in your trading career.Merry Christmas to all, I hope you and yours are well.
My present to you this year is the one chart you should ALL be watching. SPX/GOLD
Risk On (Equities), Risk Off (Gold). It will save you a TON of time/headaches, if you follow this chart.
In this video I go over why you should use it. How your portfolio would have been managed the last 50yr, and at the end give a quick method for managing your ratio between Risk On/Off.
As always, good luck in your trading, have fun, and practice solid risk management.
LONG a Falling Interest Rate! - TLTNASDAQ:TLT is an ETF that tracks value of United States Treasury Bonds in the time range of the 20-30-year bonds. With this ETF tracking the bond value it will rise with the decrease in these bond yields as the previous bonds offering higher % rates increase in value.
I am bullish on TLT for a few reasons that are summarized in the bullets below
- Interest Rates are at their highest levels in around 20 years and history would show that following these peaks in the 5.5%-7% range tends to be a sharp fall of interest rates usually due to a general moderate or severe economic downturn needing economic stimulus with low rates
- Along with the peak thesis, in the current economic state of America, it has been generally discussed by Fed Presidents that rate slowdown / rate hike pauses are starting. The FedWatch tool from CMEGroup shows that traders predict the highest rates will not go any higher, and actually start being cut in Early Spring 2024. Due to this data, it is definitely important to realize the risk/reward of this trade on how the downside is minimal with the current economic conditions proving interest rates will likely not move higher, and definitely not more than a last 25bps hike for this rate cycle considering no unprecedented events occur.
- Another staple to this bullish thesis is against the Federal Reserve. I strongly believe the Federal Reserve bluffs intentionally during their public conferences and talks. Recalling the inflationary period following COVID, the Fed repeatedly spoke out on this inflation being transitory while CPI rocketed to record highs in decades. I believe they like to not inform the public to the 100% truth and locked room talks. The Fed has came out and said they are quite against publicizing a rate pause officially / begin cutting rates and I believe this is a bluff. As the Fed claims to wait for data, I believe that data is showing, and will continue to show stronger economic struggle from the effects on high-interest rates. As unemployment just ticked up and probably will continue, rates will start to drop fast as soon as the Fed starts. Treasury Yields would likely dump prior to all of this as the anticipation begins to flow into the markets. Lastly, I think the Fed tends to deceive the public to try and not heavily move the markets in a short time.
- Overall the data should start to pour in on economic slow down as student loan repayments resume, credit delinquencies continue to rise, housing market cools, unemployment ticking up, and more can feed to a sharp drop in CPI as aggregate US demand settles.
The Fed will act on this slowdown and will need to sharply cut interest rates, especially if they wait too long.
- Technicals on NASDAQ:TLT also look strong with a major demand zone, a dailydouble bottom and a diagonal trendline supports the price level. TTM_Squeeze also backs up a possible end to the downside. Below 89 area could be a solid Exit area for risk-management.
Any Cut in Rates, or anticipation in rate cuts can send TLT flying with bond yields tumbling.
Bonus: NASDAQ:TLT also provides a safe hedge to a market collapse or recession. Because market recessions would spark a cut in rates to help fuel a recovery, while stocks may tumble, this ETF would rally on a decline of interest rates to help stimulate a falling economy.
Thesis : long Commons or 2025 dated Credit Spreads
Head and Shoulders Pattern Forming on the DXY Dollar IndexWhen the dollar is running, most other assets are dropping. This has been my experience in the markets and is why the DXY is on my watchlist and is ALWAYS one of the first charts that I check before jumping into the markets. When the DXY is high, that means that people are demanding dollars, and when it's dropping, those dollars are flowing into other assets.
Learning to watch the DXY and it's movements will give you some good edge in the markets. Not everything will be effected. There are always other market conditions to watch for, news, etc that can move the markets as well, but keeping your eye on what the USD is doing is certainly something you want to add to your trading routine.
So the Head and Shoulders pattern is a strong reversal pattern in the markets. Nothing is ever 100% and the pattern could fail, so you always have to be ready for that. The regular Head and Shoulders is a bearish reversal pattern meaning we have found the local top in that market at that time. An Inverted Head and Shoulders pattern is the opposite. It usually shows at a market bottom and indicates the possibility of bullish movement.
What we see here is that the DXY is knocking on the door of a breakout of this pattern and if it keeps going up, well, you will want your trading account to be in the dollar, or looking for shorting opportunities in other assets like crypto and FOREX pairs, that is if you are trading futures or options. If you are trading spot, this is the time to be in the dollar and waiting for your chosen asset to hit a fire sale clearance price, then go in an scoop up what you can with what you have!
Of course none of this is financial advice, just some things I have learned along my journey in this crazy world of trading that has helped me make some successful trades.
As always make sure you have a solid risk management plan before diving into the deep end! Doing this will help you gain some edge in the markets and trade logically!
Respect the pump - USDT.D breaking supportTime to get off the sidelines and respect the pump.
If the ongoing L2 rally isn't enough of a wake-up call, check out USDT Dominance, which is putting in lower lows and breaking through a significant previous resistance level with increasing volume to back it up. Also, looking at VPVR, there's also very little volume to stop this trend at least until it retests the 200 SMA, which is not far off.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a bounce off of that corresponding with a slight retrace for some of these coins as traders take some profit, but at this point my bias is bullish.
We are so back.
Happy trades,

BTC - Still Strong 🏆Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders,
🏹 After breaking above the orange symmetrical triangle, BTC initiated a new parabolic impulse and has been bullish trading within the ascending red channel.
Presently, BTC is hovering near the upper boundary of the channel, which could potentially lead to a bearish correction.
📉 In such a scenario , as BTC approaches the intersection of the lower red trendline and $40,000, we will be on the lookout for trend-following buying opportunities.
📈 Concurrently , for the bulls to assert dominance aggressively, a decisive break above the current minor high at $44,500 is crucial. In this scenario, a movement towards the $48,000 resistance level can be anticipated.
📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.
Good luck!

Let's see how this gold chart plays out over the next six years!Here's a long-term perspective I have not seen and will be interested to follow.
I think bias needs to be removed. The bulls will see a potential shot to the MOON. The bears will see a likely hard spill.
NEWS FLASH: This is a new and crazy world! EVERYTHING IS IN PLAY!
If this gets above $2200 in 2024, it could be the start of something epic.
If we see the $1700s in 2024; then (eek) I'm nervous.
All I know for sure is I look fwd. to watching this every quarter for the next several years.
Bitcoin - Back Inside The Range? 📦Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders,
📌 on Weekly: Left Chart
As per my last analysis, BTC is still hovering around the 38,000 - 40,000 resistance zone.
🏹 To sustain bullish control and assert dominance from a macro perspective, a crucial requirement is a weekly candle close above 40,000. Such a development would likely lead to a parabolic movement, aiming for the 50,000 resistance level.
📌 on H4: Left Chart
Meanwhile, considering BTC's proximity to a resistance zone, there remains a possibility of bearish intervention, potentially pushing it back into a range reminiscent of the 30,000 to 32,000 range.
📉 To trigger the bearish scenario, a break below the last significant low in red at 35,670 is required.

Gold - Macro View 🌎Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst.
📌 Monthly: Left Chart
From a macro perspective, Gold has been generally bullish, trading within the rising brown channel.
For the bulls to maintain control, a break above the 2075.0 level is essential. In this scenario, a continuation toward the upper boundary of the brown channel can be anticipated.
📌 Weekly: Right Chart
Meanwhile, from a medium to long-term perspective, Gold appears to be confined within a range, currently nearing its upper boundary.
As long as the 2075.0 resistance holds, the possibility of a bearish correction persists. Confirmation of a bearish reversal setup would depend on lower timeframes.

GREED, GREED, GREED but what follows?About a month back, I made a solid move in the market that sparked a strong rally. Now, as we near the end of a strong earnings season, I'm in a neutral position, but I'm taking steps to secure gains by trimming my positions. I reckon a decent pullback would be beneficial before considering further upward movement. There's quite a few gaps to fill due to some impulsive buying, and I believe reallocating capital is crucial for a healthier market, especially considering how much weight big tech holds in the SPY.
NVIDIA's earnings showed remarkable strength. They surpassed already optimistic expectations by a significant 10%. The $600 target set by premium sellers seemed overly ambitious, yet those sellers managed to benefit from the earnings report released last week.
Many institutional investors are operating under the assumption of a smooth landing in 2024, envisioning reduced rates, a depreciating US Dollar, a weakened Chinese macroeconomy, and sustained dominance in Large Cap Tech. The consensus among fund managers leans towards the belief that the Fed's rate hike cycle is nearing its end, with expectations of forthcoming decreases in short-term rates. Additionally, there's a noticeable shift of interest towards Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Japanese stocks.

Are Recession Fears Still Looming? Gold is Flying
Gold has enjoyed an impressive rally over the last 5 weeks - up 6% in the month of October. Historically, gold has always been the quintessential “flight-to-quality” asset. Whenever there are geopolitical or macroeconomic fears permeating financial markets, gold has outperformed. As it stands, December gold is on the brink of retesting the psychologically significant $2,000/oz level. So is the recent price strength evidence of investors’ fears of a looming recession? What other evidence would support this?
www.tradingview.com
Crude Oil is Crying
Crude oil has fallen as sharply as gold has rallied. Since the swing high to 89.85 on October 29th, crude oil prices have fallen more than $13/barrel - settling at $72.90 on Thursday. Price contractions of this magnitude are typically demand driven, which would be another feather in the cap of demand growth fears on behalf of market participants. But, how could you explain the recent performance of the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Russell 2000? In short - interest rates. As we near what is expected to be the end of the Fed’s rate hike cycle, equities have performed very well in anticipation of rates eventually coming down. The primary reason that the Fed would halt rate hikes, or begin lowering rates would come as a result of economic slowdowns.
Stocks Are Strong
All in all, the American economy has proven resilient. The rally underway in the equity markets has been substantiated by strong economic data, and disinflationary CPI readings. The proverbial “canary in the coal mine” could be consumer credit and lower-than-normal personal savings rates. However, there are very few signs of a robust economic breakdown coming in the immediate future in the United States.

BTC - Macro View 🌐Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders,
📈 Following the rejection of the 25,000 support, BTC experienced a significant 50% surge , forming another bullish impulse that confirms the ongoing upward trend.
Consequently, we've identified and outlined a rising channel in orange.
BTC is currently approaching the upper boundary of the orange channel, coinciding with the 40,000 resistance zone.
🏹 To sustain bullish control and assert dominance from a macro perspective, a crucial requirement is a weekly candle close above 40,000. Such a development would likely lead to a parabolic movement, aiming for the 50,000 resistance level.
📉 Meanwhile , considering BTC's proximity to a formidable resistance zone, there remains a possibility of bearish intervention, potentially pushing it back into a range reminiscent of the 25,000 to 30,000 range.
This scenario's confirmation would depend on lower timeframes, especially if a bearish reversal setup is triggered.

US500 - Break or Make ❗️Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst.
DAILY: Left Chart
📊 From a long-term perspective, US500 has been trading bearishly within the confines of a descending broadening wedge marked in red. Currently , it is approaching the upper boundary, which acts as a non-horizontal resistance.
📈 For the bulls to maintain control and assume dominance from a macro perspective, a breakthrough above 4420.0 is essential.
Meanwhile , there's still potential for the bears to exert influence and drive the price lower.
H1: Right Chart
From a short-term viewpoint, US500 remains bullish; however, the momentum appears to be weakening as the recent price action has been relatively flat, occurring within the boundaries of the orange channel.
📉 For the bears to seize control and trigger a bearish scenario, a drop below the last low in the orange channel, around 4360.0, is necessary.
Meanwhile , the bulls will retain control unless this key level is breached.
📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.

Charting Bitcoin's Game-Theoretical DynamicsUNDERSTANDING BITCOIN'S UNIQUE PRICE CYCLICALITY
Since inception, nearly 15 years ago, Bitcoin's full price-cycle (peak to trough and back) has been patently agnostic to rate policy changes, liquidity events, inflation expectations, and all other macroeconomic news.
This never-before-seen degree of cyclicality versus the surrounding macroeconomic environment is positively mind-boggling, not just for the NYFED, but for every one of us who has researched financial & economic history, professionally.
BITCOIN'S ASYNCHRONOUS VALUATION MECHANISM
However, when methodically inspecting Bitcoin's price-asynchronicity versus the deeply distorted and ultimately arbitrary pricing system, imposed by central planners to their benefit, its genesis becomes evident:
Bitcoin has established an independent, if contemporary currency-valuation system, whose supply-demand dynamics are predominantly the opposite of our current monetary system's fictitious and constantly expanding Money Layers. In essence:
"Levering upon its 100% demand-inelastic production vs its Layer I monetary role -as a final-settlement asset, Bitcoin's utility function is wholly independent of systemic financial variables- allowed Satoshi to game our instinct to preserve intrinsic value (rooted in scarcity vs hoarding behavior traits) in order to tightly pin its price to a ~1000-Day Up Leg vs a ~400-Day Down Leg, regardless of the fiat macro subset."
CHRONOLOGICAL CONSISTENCY IN BITCOIN’S PRICE TRAJECTORY
Thus why, when you split Bitcoin's 15-year price chart into 4 lines each for the halvings (blue) & their midpoints (grey), you find that each peak to trough cycle has pivoted up or down over the same time interval between each color pair.
To visualize these dynamics, I drew blue verticals for each halving date and grey ones for each midpoint date. As the chart shows, Up Legs start about two years before halvings and end about one year after them, lasting about 1000 days. That is when Down Legs start: a few months before midpoints and they end a few months after them, lasting about 400 days, which drove me to conclude that by:
EMPIRICAL FOUNDATIONS AND FORECASTING METHODOLOGIES
From the first week of the analysis, I found the pattern had nothing to do with the Rainbow Charts or Stock-to-Flow Model others have proposed in comparison to Gold, whose fiat price hasn't been a challenge to manipulators ever since Volcker began raising policy rates in the 80s, which finally let COMEX Gold Futures truly start swaying Gold Spot prices.
TECHNICAL ADDENDA: CONSTRAINTS AND RECURRING PATTERNS
Up Legs until now, seem confined to return no higher than ~20% over the immediately previous high return, within their ~1000-day period. This has occurred persistently between the months before and after each halving. While Down Legs seem confined to a return loss no higher than 80% of the immediately previous high return, within their ~400-day period. This has also occurred persistently between the months before and after each Midpoint.
Finally, here's why we can't just pick and choose the last +400 Day bottom. Until the "Latest Bottom" hypothesis is proven (at the end of the present cycle), we cannot firmly establish its precise date or price. All we can do is theorize its value ex-ante (via interpolating the last two ex-post time period samples -as shown in the excel sheet below). No alt text provided for this image. Ex-ante y and x values after line 35 are merely projections trained on the confirmed ex-post values shown above it.
THE CHALLENGE OF FUTURE PREDICTIONS
The above means that December 26th is not even the lowest price low, it results from averaging the total amount of days that elapsed as the last two ex-post lows were reached. The same goes for the price and date at the end of the dashed white lines, on the top chart. In sum, every one of the ex-ante y and x values projected by the dotted lines are merely projections trained on the confirmed ex-post values locked on top of the partial ellipses formed by the slope of the secants dropping off.
AN ESSENTIAL WARNING
Upon the above, please note that viewing this occurrence from a financial gain perspective betrays the prejudices that keep our society from considering what other forces move the universe. Instead, this evidence should compel our sense of wonder & unbiased search for answers & opinions. For instance, no matter the brainwash we've been taught about Economics through our lives, we're being played by an algorithm. Finally, even if the algorithm's author were to assure us his contraption is meant to help us own good, and all evidence seems to point that way, no one, except you can decide what that means for your financial futures.
URNM: Immediate potential to 55+, but if price breaks 10w MA......I cannot rule-out one final macro-decline wave towards support area 25-20.
I like the impulsive move from Mar. 2020 bottom towards Nov 2021 top, that had almost perfect match with the key Fibonacci retracements. Especially notice how Nov top at 51.75 coincides with 1.00% ext of wave (1) projected from wave (4) and near first key resistance zone of 1.764% (of w.(1) from wave (2)).
Though the long lasting correction from Nov'21 highs doesn't look finished, due to advance from mid-term Jul'22 lows having yet only three waves, I still can entertain bullish (diagonal) set-up if price manages to hold 10W MA, consolidate around Sep'23 highs and break out above 50 resistance line (as per the green count).
I also like how price got volume support while touching the 10W during local correction from the Sep'23 highs, showing that there is potential interest from institutional money around that area.
Trading plan: I have entered initial long position, with todays break-out above the cheat pivot area of 44.75. I will be quick exiting with small single digits loss, if price will be able to follow through the following days.
Important notice: Elliot waves and fibonacci retracements are a very subjective form of analysis and I don't personally trade out of them. I use them only for the purpose of gauging structural potential of any assets, that allows me to put more confidence when low-risk trading set-up emerges. Author's personal multi-years trading experience convinced him that analysis and opinion doesn't pay, only price pays and that one shall not ever argue with price.
