XEM/BTC TRADE IDEAThis pair seems to be inside a consolidation flag, and it could head two ways that I pointed out on the graphic. RSI shows that there's still room for growth in this market, and considering that BTC is currently going into a correction phase, it wouldn't surprise me if price breaks the downtrend line and heads towards resistance. The 1.12 dollar level could be a good entry point if price breaks the uptrend line and DMI+ confirms upward moving, and then we'd be looking to a gain of possibly 12% gain if it hits resistance and you wanna leave at that point.
I understand the fact that there's no exchanges currently trading XEM/USD but with bitcoin dipping in price we could use this pattern to analyse the XEM/BTC pair. I'm just starting to make analysis, hence why I don't feel confortable posting analysis regarding pairs with BTC because it's behavior is hard to predict.
Let me know what are your thoughts on this and if you think i've made a mistake feel free to correct me.
Peace,

LTC forecast over the next 10 daysHere is a forecast of possible scenarios on how LTC might behave over the next 10 days.
For now I am long and looking to take my profits around 450$, I might chose to top up in case it breaks through and moves towards the support level around ~250.
I find it difficult to believe that it will be able to break through ~200 but if that is the case I will not add to the position and stay in for the long haul with my current position.
NZD/USD change of patternsInitially Thursday’s forecast for the Kiwi against the US Dollar continued on, as forecast. However, something strange occurred after the initial move was complete.
As Dukascopy analysts expected a rebound against the lower trend line of the previously drawn channel up pattern, the support of the pattern was broken. Instead the surge occurred slightly lower. That gave an opportunity to adjust the channel up.
In addition, that caused suspicion and a look at the larger scale was done. Due to that another larger channel up pattern was discovered.
Combining these adjustments an ascending triangle was discovered, which should be broken to the downside at the latest next week.
For Beginner Investors..What would be the best investment for a long-term hold?
BTC, LTC,Ethereum.. etc?
Thanks,

Observing channel vs breakout %Trying some new things. Looking for a correlation between the channel movement percentage and the predictability of a high increase breakout.
None of this has been tested, but, when we hit the breakout for the next level at the + integer. We may see a bigger marginal increase until the next level of resistance.
Lets see how it goes.
Bitcoin: BTCUSD Officially left the Building Last Night Bitcoin Update Still strong whilst within the new Parallels
Having left the building (contraints of the last paralllel) last
night Bitcoin went on a tear, nothing to hold it back now.
After bottoming a second time at 13083, just under the 13210
next buy point and under the old parallel by 130 points...this
would have stopped out the long from 13210 (in all likelihood,
most probably using 100 point stop at that point so a good
trade that would have been stopped out was at least avoided.
But that doesn't excuse not getting long agin from 13826 level
once it had been regained and thoroughly tested from above
and survied the onslaught perfectly, with Bitcoin coming back
down to test that level precsiely before bouncing away and
now 900 points higher still...we should have had ALL that
trade, every damn point. Another 900 points not won. Would
trade that notional 100 point loss for that win though.
Shoulda woulda coulda. Move on now....
Now Bitcoin is tracking a new set of parallels and stays good
whilst within them. But it's beginning to tire and we are close
to the 15 number now. Stay long here if you are already and
only close out once the lower parallel is lost, looking for
another test of 13826 where we look to get long again with
stops 60 points lower if touched.
AUD/NZD 4H Chart: Confirms medium channel downThe Australian Dollar recently surged to confirm a trend line against the New Zealand Dollar. Due to that reason market participants are finally able to draw the previously expected to reveal itself medium size pattern.
In regards to the short term the pair is likely going to be pressed into the support of the weekly S1 at the 1.1050 mark. It will be done by the resistance of the 55 and 100-period simple moving averages.
Meanwhile, one needs to take into account that the four hour candles, if moved away from the simple moving averages, are likely to become larger. Namely, volatility will increase.
EUR/NZD 4H Chart: Set for more gainsThe Euro is surging in a very steep angle against the New Zealand Dollar. The surge began, as the support of a channel up pattern was strong enough to force the pair higher. In addition, the appreciation of the Euro against the Kiwi does not seem to slow down almost at all, when it faces various resistance levels.
Most recently the pair slowed down the surge to find more support in the weekly R2 at the 1.7048 mark. The next target for the rate in the case of a surge should be the 1.72 mark, where the weekly R3 is providing resistance.
Most likely that level will be reached soon, as even the speculative ascending patterns do not provide resistance below 1.72 level.
DASHUSD New Buy Points with caution and stopsDASHUSD
Consolidating recent gains in a pennant: not as trustworthy as
a flag, though. The recent low was 609, exactly double the
price we paid at 305 some 15 days or so ago. Are you watching, Bitcoin?
Two strikes on the lower line shows 'hot', still. Now it has to
find enough buyers to beat the upper line of the pennant...
If it can mange this we can follow/add but because it's a
pennant am wondering how good the break will be if we see
it now. Folow the break but stick a stop under 624 in case it
fails...want to see a couple of big green candles emerge on
exit, therwise beware the break..(look at ETHUSD failed
break last time to study a failure...if you can learn to spot
thse in real time your whole outlook and trading record will
improve...not easy sometimes, buy others, it is!)
Be lucky. And alert.
Bitcoin: BTCUSD Next Buy Point: Folllow the ChartBitcoin Update Next Buy Point Follow the Chart
A reverse head and shoulders is forming with neckline at the
upper parallel. Next buy point comes only when neckline is crossed
on upside with stop 50 points lower - upside measurement implied
target is 8390 on any sustained break. The whole thing fails if
7717 - 7660 range also fails, for fall back to 7530, which must
hold today at all costs for bull case to stay good in near term.
So far this battle for the new high ground continues, the bulls
trying to grind down the bears at high altitude, and so far
they're....winning. The way this pattern develops determines
the day from here. It will likely take a while to play out yet -
we don't even need to second guess it here, really. It's tough
up here - that selling out of London first thing...was that
heavy weiight Goldman clients closing out longs from lower
down at the exact spot Jafari tagged at 8000 as the next high?
It was a big bad red candle, first for a long while...it's tough
up here.. .so we ait and simply react to the next signal. If it's
a break above the neckline we buy, as above. If it's a break
below 7660 we get stopped out for 130 points profit before
spreads. Not great, but...it's tough up here. If 7660 breaks it
means a test of 7530 - and if that should break it means the
damn thing has flipped right out of the freeezer again and
we're going to have to strart the chase all over again. Please no.
But it's Bitcoin. Anything can happen. (And If it does, we switch
back to shorting rallies back up the blue lines. Please no.
Like in Alien (new theme) we're watching a new life-form develop
on our screens in front of us. Intersting stuff, no? Please comment ffs!
Let the chart decide for us. And let the force be with you,
guide you, Luke. Trust the force!
Bitcoin: BTCUSD New trade set-ups with clean chartBITCOIN: BTCUSD Update on Positions
Not a bad day, so far but need to keep an eye on this short still...day-traders have made 250 points from the short from
6300 early in UK morning, then another 200 to 450 points from the long at 6050 just an hour later, depending on where you
took profits and now we're short once more from the highs of the day at 6450 with a tight stop above 6515 which was never
hit - and is now about 300 points in profit, so 750 - 1000 points profit today in a market that is down 200. This is what
a chart that is so technically perfect can produce in the way of fast profits. If you can stay alert and act quickly this space
is made for traders - there has never been anything better so far, in the history of speculation. It may not last forever (not
Bitcoin, which is just beginning) but the perfection of the chart - but whilst it does we have to trade it. Also longer-
term readers will know that catching this monster has been the long term aim of this quest since the chase began - we
really want it tagged, bagged and thrown in the freezer, the ultimate trophy catch for any serious speculator (or investor if
you fell better with that).
So maybe we'll get a chance for that later...maybe. But like Ahab on the quest to catch Moby Dick, you gotta stay in the
boat to have that chance. Time will tell, as always.
Right now we're still short...think we can move the stop down
to protect some profits...the central parallel is still bossing this impulse wave as we can clearly see from the chart -
whilst it stays in control of the move down we can stay short, hoping for another massive bear raid to come out of China
which ideally will drive price down hard to at least make a double bottom at 5637 and potentially to then fall further still
to 5113-4973 range where it will become a buy again if we see it hit.
LONG Story Short Yeah, right. Difficult to try cover all scenarios:
Stay short, using the central parallel as exit (break above here, followed by successful retest from above: newbies
please beware: ideally you should just follow for a while and check back over older Bitcoin posts on Sumastardon pages on
Tradingview.com to get a better understanding of trading break-outs etc). If the call goes to plan and the central
parallel continues to control this move, repelling every encounter the short stays on down to 5747-5637 first target.
Then we close out. It will probably try to make a double bottom in this range (which could well extend right down to
the low in China last night again, at 5561 at the extreme). Still don't think that this range will likely be the final bottom,
but it should create some kind of stall at least and really should trigger a bounce if touched (doesn't have to though,
those Chinese can get pretty scared at times) so cannot recommend a quick counter rally long here because the stop
is too vague right now - for the first time since Bitcoin began to unravel it didn't bounce exactly off a given fixed support
line (blue lines) but exceeded it by fully 80 points - so am less sure about exact level to expect a bounce, making a sensible
stop impossible to figure right now...but if Bitcoin does come all the way down to the exact low at 5561 within 10 points
either side it might be worth day traders getting long with a stop 50 points lower for small loss if wrong. But we need to be
ready to turn entire position round on any fall below 5510, shorting down to 5113-4973 range (with stop placed at 5610 if
this trade is triggered) and ready to buy back and go long in this important range with a stop 100 points below 4973 - if
this range is tested later it's the ideal place to consider a longer term 'investment' in Bitcoin (ie Slinging it in the
freezer) as it looks the perfect range to get long again.
But if wrong we need a plan B, worked out in advance: to go
wrong, firstly the central parallel needs breaking to tell us the pressure is finally lifted, then it needs to use the
AUD/NZD 4H Chart: Near Broken Trend LineThe situation on the AUD/NZD charts is quite rare. The pair has broken the resistance of a massive scale triangle pattern. The break out occurred in the borders of a dominant channel up pattern, which is set to guide the rate higher in the long term.
Meanwhile, in regards to the smaller scale situation, the pair has retreated in an almost obsolete channel down pattern in the borders of the channel up pattern. The channel down is set to be broken because of the support of the ascending channel.
In addition the situation is complicated by the still active resistance of the triangle pattern near the 1.1150 mark.
NZDUSD: Going flat with a short setup on break below 0.6880NZDUSD
Was looking for a minimum 100 pip rally from the low at
0.6818 but only got 65 or so before NZD came back down
again...not much use. Am closing down the long position at
around break even and looking to short NZD against USD once
0.6880 is broken on downside looking for 200 pips to 0.6688
intitial downside target with stops about 16 pips above entry
level for small loss if wrong.
