How to Use Exponential Moving Averages?The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is one of the most popular technical indicators for traders, known for its sensitivity to recent price changes and ability to reveal trends in real-time. This is certainly not a 100% grail or a super indicator! But I would recommend not to ignore EMA during backtests What is the Exponential Moving Average (EMA)? The EMA is a moving average that gives more weight to recent prices, allowing it to react faster to price changes compared to the SMA. This quality makes EMA especially valuable in volatile markets like cryptocurrencies, forex, and stocks. Typically, traders use the EMA to smooth price data, making it easier to spot trends and reversals. Key EMA Timeframes: Short-Term: 10-20 EMA (for quick trades and scalping) Medium-Term: 50 EMA (commonly used to gauge trend direction) Long-Term: 100-200 EMA (used to assess overall market sentiment) Why Use EMA in Trading? The EMA helps traders identify the trend direction, evaluate market momentum, and recognize possible reversal points. Because the EMA adjusts quickly to price changes, it is effective for day trading, intraday trading, and even longer-term investing. Its responsiveness is particularly useful for: Trend Confirmation: The EMA helps traders confirm if a trend is upward or downward. Multiple EMAs used in combination can highlight potential crossovers that signal trend shifts. Entry and Exit Signals: EMA crossovers and support/resistance levels can serve as effective entry and exit points. Momentum Assessment: Short-term EMAs provide insight into current momentum, while longer-term EMAs reveal broader market sentiment. Pros and Cons of Using EMA in Trading Pros: Reactiveness: EMA adjusts quickly to new price movements, helping identify trends sooner than SMA. Versatility: Suitable for various timeframes, from scalping to swing trading. Clear Signals: Effective in trending markets for capturing entry and exit points. Cons: Sensitivity to Noise: EMA is more susceptible to market “noise” or erratic price swings, leading to potential false signals in choppy markets. Not Ideal for Ranging Markets: EMA is less effective in sideways or consolidating markets. Tips for Trading with EMA Use EMA in Trending Markets: EMA performs best when there is a clear trend. In ranging markets, signals are less reliable. Combine EMA with Other Indicators: Use indicators like RSI or MACD to confirm EMA signals and reduce the chances of false breakouts. Stick to Risk Management Rules: EMAs, while effective, are not foolproof. Always set stop-loss levels and use proper position sizing to manage risk effectively.

WBD bottoming in process, turnaround soon? Target 70 USD +Following WBD for quiet a few years, and we could witness now a bottoming process, where either we have the lows already in, or we should be near to it. On the several year-prospect we had already a wave 1 (or A wave) to the upside, with a wave 2 several year pullback as either as a-b-c (with an overshooting b wave to the upside), or a WXY structure. Yellow route is the alternative route for now, which highlights one more bigger swing lows arriving (and that currently we might be in yellow wavecounts, where price action SHOULD hold the 8.30-8.40 USD mark and not break below comfortably. (Secondary scenario) Primary scenario where I watching primary a bottoming process is the white route where the white big wave (2) is already in at ~8.80 USD. As the weekly and daily MACD/RSI showing bullish divergence, and also the runup having clearly impulsive characteristic from that bottom, I am leaning towards this scenario. Be aware, yellow is still not invalidated though. I am re-publishing the idea, since the previous one got flagged for house-rule-violation.

CHFJPY in important resistance area; yen to strengthen?CHFJPY in important resistance area on daily chart; yen to strengthen? The Swiss franc and Japanese yen currency pair (CHFJPY) has maintained a steady uptrend on the daily chart since 2020, consistently trading above the 200-period Moving Average. However, in September, CHFJPY dipped below the SMA200 for the first time, signaling a potential increase in selling pressure and indicating a stronger appreciation of the yen against the franc. This yen appreciation aligns with Japan’s recent shift in monetary policy – the Bank of Japan had kept interest rates in negative territory since 2016. On July 31, Japan raised its key interest rate for the second time in 2024, bringing it to 0.25%. Meanwhile, the Swiss National Bank (SNB) has consecutively lowered interest rates during its last three meetings. Technical indicators point to potential downward pressure on CHFJPY From a technical perspective, after breaking below the SMA200 on the daily chart, CHFJPY retested it from below, suggesting that the SMA200 may now act as a level of resistance. The price also reached the 50% retracement level of the bearish Fibonacci on the daily chart, which could serve as potential resistance. A double top pattern is also forming in the same Fibonacci region. From a technical standpoint, a confluence of factors can be seen: 1. The SMA200 was broken, previously acting as support, and could now serve as resistance. 2. A retracement to the 50% level of the bearish Fibonacci, which could also act as resistance. 3. A double top forming on the daily chart. From a macroeconomic perspective, the following is affecting CHFJPY: 1. A shift in Japan’s monetary policy with two interest rate hikes this year. 2. Monetary easing in Switzerland – the SNB has cut the policy rate three times in 2024. It currently stands at 1% – the lowest level since early 2023. These factors create a context where a potential short opportunity could become more apparent if the price breaks below 171.30. If that occurs, CHFJPY could decline to the 167.10 level within a few days, where it may encounter some support.

Litecoin - LTC Free Fall to $60 ??Although Litecoin did not make the Top Altcoins for 2024 list - it is an old timer. And by this, I basically mean that it can (and will) still be traded. From the 4h, we see some beautiful swings that can be very profitable trades, with the right entry points. It seems the entire market is turning down following BTC. This however, could result in some good entry points and lower buying orders being filled. Getting in at the RIGHT price is one of Warren Buffet's key investment strategies.

Bitcoin and Moving Averages - Are they worth using ?Bitcoin Daily and Weekly Charts with SMA ribbons - 2 stories This is the channel BTC has been in since Jan 2023. We broke out of it on Feb 2024 and returned into it in July 2024 The main image is the weekly chart and we can see how, as a result of this Long term Rise since Jan 2023, The SMA's have begun crossing Bullish with the 100 (blue ) just recently regaining ground above the 200 ( yellow) . This is despite the Long Term Range we are currently in and shows the strength the PA Has Had. The 50 ( RED) was the first to recover and it is that that is currently offering support to PA as is shown by the bounce off it just 3 weeks ago. However, the Long Term range just mentioned has yet to fully appear in these SMA's So, lets look at the Daily The Daily shows us the battle taking place between the 50 (red ) and the 100 ( blue ) The Bullish order for these SMA's is , from top to bottom, 50 ( red) 100 ( blue) 128 ( green and 200 ( yellow ) What worried a lot of people was, on the 8 August, we saw a "Death Cross", where the 200 crossed above the 50. this is considered a bearish sign but I will say, we saw this on a few occasions in 2020 - 2021 nad PA recovered. We can see how PA has tried to recover recently and, in fact, made a slightly higher high and it even got through the 200, that tried to be resistance.... But we failed to hold that and now, just today, we have found support on the 50 again. We need to hold this but we may not. For me, I think we will see 58K , FEAR will set in again and we will have to wait and see how things play out. The problem with Moving Averages and using them as Tools for understanding the market , is how laggy they are. They take so long to react. The Weekly Looks fine.... Very bullish, 100 crossing over the 200 - everything looks LOVELY but the real story is below that, the Daily, all hell is breaking Loose. And the lower down the time frames we go, the worse it gets but the nearer to the real time data we get. I Look at MA's, I do my business with other Tools. A Death Cross, for instance, only shows us what has happened ALREADY and any decent trader will already have seen that signal elsewhere, like in the PA for instance ! But, they do have thrie uses.........But there are better tools for a Fast moving asset like Crypto Just my opinion

Cup and Handle Formation Spotted On GBTCWe want to share an interesting pattern on the monthly GBTC – Grayscale Bitcoin Trust chart. It’s a nice bullish cup and handle pattern, where the handle is supported by a 20-month moving average. Cup and Handle is a bullish pattern that can push GBTC, Bitcoin and the whole Crypto market higher at the end of 2024 or the beginning of 2025. The cup and handle pattern is a bullish continuation pattern in technical analysis. It looks like a cup with a handle on a price chart. The cup is U-shaped, indicating a period of consolidation followed by recovery. The handle is a short period of consolidation after the cup, leading to a breakout above the handle's resistance level, signaling a potential continuation of the uptrend. Not only cup and candle, but even Elliott wave path suggests price can resume up, not to mention risk-on flows and bearish Dollar.

Swing Trade Set UPA simple, Swing Trade Set UP. Often it is simple trade setup that make lots of money. This is one such set up. Here trend is captured with alignment of MA's . 3 MAs are plotted EMA-10, EAM-21 and SMA 50. To pick the trend, first condition is EMA-10 > EMA-21 > SMA 50. Second condition is price above all these MAs. In the chart it is marked wherever this occurred. Now to make entry you have to wait till the stock out performs the Index. It can be captured through plotting a indicator named RS or Relative strength. use Bench mark index as #NIFTY50 or #CNX500. You can see that there are areas where MAs aligned but RS was negative and trend failed. But when all these aligned price moved up nicely. You can exit the trade on deceive break of EMA 21 or SMA 50. Try this on many charts and lean the nuance before making actual trade.

$ELF Bouncing Past the 9 & 21 Day Moving AverageNYSE:ELF On average, technical analysts often observe that when a stock crosses above both the 9-day and 21-day moving averages, there is approximately a 60-70% chance that the upward trend will continue. Conversely, when a stock crosses below both averages, there is about a 60-70% chance that the downward trend will persist. Here are some general figures: Bullish Continuation: 65% probability that the stock will continue an upward trend after crossing above both the 9-day and 21-day moving averages. Bearish Continuation: 65% probability that the stock will continue a downward trend after crossing below both the 9-day and 21-day moving averages. These figures are generalized estimates based on typical market behavior and may vary depending on specific stock characteristics and broader market conditions.

#BTC: A BULLISH RETEST??Hey everyone! Appreciate a like and follow if this analysis helps! Bitcoin is currently trading near the $61.6k level. Following a breakout from an ascending triangle, it's now retesting the triangle's resistance. The 200MA acts as additional support. A bounce from this retest is anticipated. However, a failure to hold the retest level and a subsequent close back within the triangle would invalidate the bullish pattern. In this scenario, we could see a potential pullback towards the $56k-$57k range. Potential Targets: Breakout: A successful breakout could lead to a rally towards FWB:65K -$68k. Stronger Breakout: A more decisive breakout could target $70k-$75k. What are your thoughts on Bitcoin's current price action? Share your analysis in the comments!

EDITAS bottoming in process, turnaround soon, target min ~22 USDEDITAS could be in the bottoming process, I am watching it for a few years now. We have a falling broadening wedge, on which we had a breakout already. This is part of a bigger falling wedge (blue). It is techincally possible, we had put in the lows at 6.35 as a wave 5 (as an ending diagonal), which is part of wave V as a last wave, of the biggest Wave (II). This would indicate, for quiet a few years we have the lows. Now, it is possible (~20%) that the wave(II) can extend, and that currently what we are forming is just a wave(IV) as a bigger ABC correction, but we should NOT ignore this good opportunity. In the primary scenarion (bottom is in place): we already had a 5 count up (sorry for the inconsistency in the colors and the letterd counts) as a diagonal, completing the orange wave I (or wave A) up, and now, alongside with the news that shares are issued, we are having the orange wave II as an abc pullback. Due to the impulsiveness, this is certanly an a wave down, and it does not seem finished yet. It will be followed by a b wave up, and then agan a c wave down. I have marked the turnaround/support boxes. Possibly, with the abc we could form a head and shoulders (but target wont be reached). We would like to have the turnaround optimally in the green box. It could have a deeper pullback, so chances are, it will drop to the orange box. (I am scaling in) Under the orange box is what I call the "danger" zone; it COULD still turn around, but more often than not, it is just not playing out, and being extremely risky, signaling, that possibly new lows are coming I have already made 3 positions opened between 8-9 USD from previous months (accumulation) Strong support (which will be my scale in zones for further accumulation): ~8.80 ~8.40 ~7.75 I am also swing trading it(several days->weeks, shorting/buying) on a short frame based on elliott counts/luxalgo/support zones/MA's. (i.e.: if a wave seems done, put in a hedged long for 3 counts up for b wave, then short it down hedged till .618 OR 5 counts down) On the daily: RSI is cooling down from overbought levels, and MACD possibly diverging (already converged) 200 day MA is rejecting us,180 as well. 15day SMA, 21day EMA, 9day SMA rejected us. 50/52 day SMA is below us, but with the bottoming/pullback likely we will sip below that (but converging upwards) On the weekly: we getting rejected for a while on the 9.85 levels, indicating a pullback for many weeks now (again, my primary scenario it wants just a wave 2 pullback in) RSI is pulling back, but have not diverged with the trendline, and possibly will not, i expect to provide support MACD is coming up nicely to the base level, but deccelerating. Invalidation for the setup is the brushed yellow line.

Dogecoin Long $0.1080 to $0.11 and TP $0.36 Before ChristmasI firmly believe that Dogecoin is oversold on the 4 hour and daily timeframes. This is the 2nd accumulation for longs, with target take profit of $0.36 before December, 2024 Christmas time. My first trading idea from the $0.068 to $0.2145 range already filled successfully. This is our second big entry now for the swing traders. Elon Musk Optimist robots could net $200T in revenue over the next few years, and with the November election swinging in I see plenty of room for Dogecoin memes to conquer the X platform. Remember, Elon Musk could always post a picture of a Dog and the price could run up over 5 to 10%. BINANCE:DOGEUSDT

Bitcoin (BTC): Fist Target Reached - Waiting For 200EMA to BreakNow that our first target has been achieved nicely, we are looking for another movement here, which is a test to 200 EMA (potentially breaking it and moving to $50K zones). First, what we are looking for is the re-test of the broken 100EMA, which should happen this week. After most indicators stabilize (RSI + Bollinger Bands), we can start the test of the 200EMA, which is the next big zone that needs to be broken! Swallow Team

Trade the TREND with 4 Trend Indicators4 Trend Indicators you can use to identify the current MACRO Trend. It's always important to know where your market is currently trading. Is it bullish, bearish, or range trading? If you have established the trend, you can trade with the trend instead of against it. Trading against the trend ( for example shorting during a bullish cycle ) adds unnecessary risk to an already risky trade (leverage). 1) Bollinger Bands 2) Logarithmic View 3) Super Trend 4) Moving Averages + RSI Let me know how YOU determine the macro trend! _________________________ BINANCE:DOGEUSDT MEXC:ETHUSDT KRAKEN:BTCUSD COINBASE:SOLUSD

BTC - Continued Analysis - M-Pattern DANGERContinuing this analysis on the previous one; we see a double top form in the daily as well as the weekly timeframe after the price lost the 50 day moving averages. In the previous analyses, we looked at Elliot Wave theory and a potential new ATH price zone. However, there was one risk even at that point - the M-Pattern. This pattern is BEARISH and usually leads to quite a significant drop. The good news, though, is that this is all part of a healthy correction - as long as we hold THIS key zone identified inthe video, we are still well within a bullish market.
