US Markets Cleared For A 13% to 24% Rally - Get SomeThis video highlights why I believe the US markets are ready to make a big move higher over the next 12 to 24+ months. Many people suggest the markets will crack or crash, or we will experience some black/grey swan event. I'm afraid I have to disagree with this belief. Yes, there is always a chance we will see some market event. However, to disrupt the US/global economy, there would have to be some event that disrupts the world, not just one or two smaller countries. I do believe the US is making a broad transition into the 21st century, and new leadership (Govt) is required to make that happen. But I also believe the seeds have been planted for exponential growth over the next 10-20+ years - and many traders are too focused on the crash dummies to see the real potential. Watch this video. Share your comments if you like. I believe we will see pullbacks and rotations on the way up - but I don't think we'll see any big crash event until after 2031 (or later). Get some. This is going to be BIG. #trading #research #investing #tradingalgos #tradingsignals #cycles #fibonacci #elliotwave #modelingsystems #stocks #bitcoin #btcusd #cryptos #spy #es #nq #gold

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 8-30 : Carryover In Counter TrendToday's SPY Cycle Pattern suggests the SPY will attempt to trend moderately strongly to the upside (if my research is correct). The counter-trend mode of the carryover pattern suggests the price trend will be opposite of the last 2-3 bars - so a potential upward price trend today. The carryover pattern suggests that price will behave very similarly to what we've seen over the past 2-3 days—moderately trending. So, I expect the SPY to attempt to rally the 563-564 level and hold above recent lows. The QQQ should be similar—attempting to break away from the downward price channel, then consolidating into early/mid-next week before attempting to move higher again. Gold is within my breakout range (over the next 2~5 days), and I believe the 2564 level needs to be broken (upward) for the 2593 level to become the next target. We are still seeing active support near 2511. Bitcoin should move back to the upside, trying to target the $62.8k level over the next 5+ days. The Flag formation in BTCUSD is holding up well. Happy Friday everyone. Let's make today a great day and prepare for next week.

GC GOLD Buy BOXBeen a while since posting my thoughts here, I have been working on something that is GOLD. Supply and Demand can often be overlooked. Trading can often be over complicated. Back up and study the basics. Supply and demand characteristics of the market are the most rudimentary but often the best way to creaete a system that brings forth consistent gains. How many traders are actually profitable. Find a system that works for you it could start with a simple supply and demand type strategy. Here we have price reacted perfectly off of the supply zone, (Yes I took that short position from the top and have the screen shot to prove it just ask if you want to see it). Now will we enter a demand zone and reverse. My plan is to simply wait, I took my profits and now I just wait until my alerts are hit and my criteria is met to go the other direction. What will you do? Leave it in the comments I am happy to be back posting and look forward to more!

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 8-29 - Breakaway in Carryover ModeToday's pattern should play out as a reversion to yesterday's selling pressure. I did not expect to see the markets sell downward as hard as they did yesterday, but my systems were able to catch the downward trend well. As a trader and a researcher, I try to base my expectations on what I believe to be the highest probable outcome. Yet, sometimes I'm wrong. I've mentioned this before, and I'll probably say it again and again... Traders must be capable of adapting to the charts. Play what is in front of you. My SPY Cycle Patterns offer assistance in what may happen based on Fibonacci/Gann price characteristics. Yet, news items (or positioning ahead of NVDA earnings) can drive market trends in unique directions. We must understand that big news events/earnings/data can alter price trends away from the SPY Cycle Pattern triggers, and we have to be able to play the chart in front of us. So we adapt to what the chart is telling us - always. Remember, Fibonacci Price Theory was very clear yesterday after the first breakdown in price - this trend is BEARISH. Watch this video. Gold is getting ready to make a move up to 2593+ and Silver wants to follow up to about $31. But Silver will lag Gold a bit - so position yourself correctly. Bitcoin will stay range-bound over the next 5-7+ trading days - trying to run out time on the Flag Apex. Then, it should make a bigger move to the upside.

Why a Cautious Bull on the US Markets?This is a classic bull market—smooth and trendy. However, it has become a cautious bull, moving within a much wider range, similar to what we observed after March. Especially in July and August: For the Nasdaq, it was down by 17%, but it has since recovered within a two-month period. Is this good or bad? It really depends on how we've positioned ourselves. If you're an investor, seeing your July positions slump so much only to recover so quickly could be quite unsettling—it might even give you a heart attack. But if you're a trader, you should find this volatility interesting and take advantage of it.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade 8-27 - Inside Breakaway PatternThe SPY continues to slide into a sideways melt-up type of trend. Today's Inside Breakaway pattern suggests the SPY will attempt to move away from this consolidation range. Although I don't expect a huge breakaway today, I do expect the SPY to attempt to move up into the 563+ area, setting up for a bigger move on Thursday and a pullback on Friday. Gold is pulling back reasonably hard. The 2530-2535 level would be an excellent area to consider buying or adding to any open position. The 2510-2515 level is the Make-Or-Break level for Gold (that would also be our stop level). I still believe Gold will make another move higher - but I don't think Gold will build enough momentum to rally out of the current range until next week. Bitcoin has pulled back into the APEX range (see the chart). We need to see it hold up near this Apex range - or it could risk falling below $57k again. Overall, I see all of these charts (SPY/QQQ/Gold/Bitcoin) stalling and attempting to base ahead of next week. Next week, I believe prices will be more volatile and try to trend upward. As I've been warning, this week, the markets needed to pause a bit. Now is the perfect time to position yourself for the next big move.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade 8-27 Update : Possible Long Squeeze EODToday's SPY Cycle Pattern should reflect a decidedly bearish overtone to price action. The fact that we opened with a GAP downward and have waffled around just above yesterday's closing price does not really excite me. I see price failing and waffling around in "no man's land". This video covers the SPY, Bitcoin, & Gold. Stay agile. I see the markets rolling downward into the end of the day today - but I could be wrong.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 8-27: Close-1 GAP Trend PatternToday's pattern suggests the GAP Trend portion reflects whether today's open is above or below yesterday's close. If today's open is above yesterday's close, then I would expect a higher opening GAP leading to a fairly strong rally phase today. If today's open is below yesterday's close, then I would expect a lower opening GAP leading to a fairly strong selling phase today. These types of patterns do not often reflect a reversal bar - although reversals can happen. Overall, I believe the bias is still to the upside. But I also believe price is consolidating in early trading this week and needs to continue to consolidate before attempting to rally again later this week (Thursday/Friday maybe). So, I would not be surprised to see price stall out a bit today. Let's see what happens. We may see a bit of a rally or sell-off depending on where today's opening price is and if we see any substantial Opening GAP. The bigger the GAP, the more likely we are going to see price trend.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 8-26 : BLANK SPY Cycle PatternToday's blank SPY Cycle Pattern means there is no definition for today's pattern in the pattern library. I will dig into this a bit further. At this point, when we get blank days, it is usually a fairly rare and uncommon pattern that may not develop very often. That makes it hard to identify if there are not many reference points to determine what type of price action to expect. Still, I go into detail related to what I believe will happen over the next few days/weeks for the SPY, Gold, Bitcoin and provide a series of opportunities for traders in this video. Remember, it is not about trying to force the markets to make a move. Often, we have to sit back and wait for the next big opportunity to setup. I believe the next 5+ trading days will present a moderate melt-up in the SPY and Gold. I believe Bitcoin will stay rather flat after the rally over the past 3+ days. This is why I believe the markets are transitioning into a bigger breakaway phase setting up for Sept 4~10. Thus, I believe traders need to prepare for that bigger move over the next 5~7+ trading days and stay cautious right now. We are going to move into a consolidation/peak/top phase near Sept 20~25. So, this next rally phase only lasts from Sept 5th through Sept 21 - about 10+ trading days. Heads up.

Prepare For The BOT COM BUBBLE (Starting 2026 & Beyond)I spent quite a bit of time this weekend going over my custom indexes and other research data to try to identify what and how the Vortex Rally I predicted would take shape. I mentioned something to my followers/subscribers last week about how today feels like the early 1990s (1991-1994 roughly). At that time, interest rates were just dropping from all-time highs and the general markets were in a bit of stagflation. People were not actively investing in homes or other big assets because it was not clear what the future would bring. The US government has just gone through the Regan Era - where spending on Starwars and other projects were considered Excessive - but that translated into a massive technology boom-cycle in the last 1990s. Are we going to see the same type of explosion with Robotics and AI over the next 10-20+ years. Will that lead to a massive rally phase (global & space growth industries) over the next 50+ years? How will humanity react to a massive robotics expansion where jobs and services may be replaced by robots? What will this transition lead to - some new type of human society/expectation where we can actually live a life dedicated to improving the human experience vs. working our entire life? Watch this video. Pay attention to my research. If I'm right - we are about to move into a very explosive market phase and smart traders should prepare for this move NOW.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade 8-23 Update: Gold Rips - SPY StallsHere is a quick update related to the post-Powell expectations. I still believe the SPY will consolidate through most of today and move into a broader rally phase next week and into early September. Gold is RIPPING higher after Powell's comments. I expect Gold to try to break above $2600 next week. Bitcoin is still struggling to break above the $63k level. It may make a move next week. Time will tell. Follow my research.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 8-23 : Harami Inside PatternToday's SPY Cycle Pattern is a Harami-Inside pattern. This suggests the SPY will stay rather muted today - trading sideways and likely staying between 557-560. I believe the SPY will trend upward a bit and try to close near 560. I don't believe we'll see any big trends today - mostly just sideways consolidation. Gold will likely attempt to move above $2450 - attempting to regain support above $2535. Bitcoin will stay somewhat flat - probably below $61.5k as the big move won't happen till next week. Today may be more of a "go golfing" day. Literally, the SPY/QQQ/Gold/Bitcoin will probably stay in a very narrow range today - moving into a bigger trend next week.

What I see is a consolidated flagging formation across many markets. As I suggested early on Monday - this week may be the week to go golfing or find something fun to do as it appears the SPY/QQQ and other are simply trading sideways (flagging). We'll see how things play out today. I would not be surprized to be saying the same thing tomorrow morning.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade Update 8-21 : Markets Top & StallAs I suggested in Monday's video, the SPY Cycle Patterns predicted today's TOP more than six months ago. Tomorrow's inside/harami pattern suggests the markets will stall out the rest of this week. I urged traders to prepare to wait out this week and sit on the sidelines. When the markets stall like this, it is best to avoid trying to trade in tight ranges. Wait it out and maybe pick out a few great swing trades for next week's rally phase. This update shows you why Bitcoin, Gold, and the SPY/QQQ will continue to stall and stay in a sideways price trend.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 8-21 : Top Pattern Today.I expect the SPY to move into a moderate bullish price phase, attempting to peak somewhere below 561-563, then roll into a moderate downward price trend - possibly ending the day near 553-556. Why do I expect the SPY to roll to the downside after peaking today? My SPY Cycle Pattern shows a TOP pattern today. Top patterns usually start with a moderate uptrend, leading to a peak in price, followed by a moderately sustained pullback/downtrend. The 553-556 level is the nearest moderate support level. The 561-563 level is just above yesterday's high and well into the SPY upper GAP window, which will likely act as resistance. Buckle up because we are moving into at least 2~3 days of trending sideways before transitioning back into the rally phase. Gold may attempt to move above $2570 today. Bitcoin needs to find support, otherwise a breakdown in price in likely over the next 3+ days. It should be fun to see how things play out this week.

How to measure a true range in any asset!Hello to everyone familiar with ICT concepts! If you already understand breakers, order blocks, and the principles of price premiums and discounts, you're in the right place. I’m excited to share some insights with you, using the FOREXCOM:EURUSD chart from August 20th, 2024. One challenge I've always faced is accurately measuring the true range. It often feels like price moves towards balance, finding equilibrium before moving away again. ICT's teachings on this topic can sometimes be a bit vague, especially when it comes to the details of whether to measure wicks or focus solely on candlestick bodies. However, I’ve recently made a breakthrough and discovered the key to accurately measuring a true range! This knowledge aligns with the idea of balances, but it’s crucial to understand that when one algorithm meets another, neither has the power to deviate far from the current price. But that's not what we need to focus on. What truly matters is identifying when the price is moving away from its current state. This method works exceptionally well during trending markets, like we’ve seen recently with #EURUSD, #GBPUSD, and other forex pairs. It’s also effective in commodities like Gold, indices such as #NQ, #YM, #ES, and even in the crypto markets! Take yesterday's trend in EURUSD, for example. We saw a significant 5-15 minute trend where the price perfectly retraced to its 50% level. But how did I know where to start measuring? This time, I used a breaker from a different structure on the 15-minute chart to identify the key level. The answer lies in understanding breakers, order blocks, and supporting structures. If this topic resonates with you, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Let’s dive deeper together—there’s so much more to explore. Feel free to share your insights or reach out if you’re curious about how to apply these concepts more effectively EURUSD 21.08.2024 10:11

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade 8-20 Update : No Bozu YetPrice needs to make a move if we are going to see a Bozu Trending bar today. The levels I drew in the morning video were perfect (so far). We have seen the SPY do nothing most of the day and that means price is likely shifting away from trending - into Flagging. My expectations are for price to attempt to setup a high/low range over the next 2~3 trading days, then move into a consolidated/sideways flagging formation. This is a great time to prepare for the next big move (next week) and to try to plan your trades around this Flag/Base type of formation before the Vortex Rally sends the SPY higher.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 8-20 : BozuTrending Counter-TrendToday's Bozu Trending bar in counter-trend mode could be very exciting. Bozu trending bars are typically relatively large and represent a strong price trend. As we move closer to the upper GAP window, we may see the SPY rally through that window today—or we may see the SPY pull downward, away from that GAP, and attempt to retest support near 552. Please watch today's video because the Counter-Trend mode of the Bozu pattern suggests we may see a downward price bar today. I've highlighted two key price areas we need to watch regarding which direction the SPY will attempt to trend today. If we stay within those two price levels - price will stay muted today. Otherwise, I expect the markets to BIAS to the upside but counter-trend to the downside. It should be an interesting day for trading. Gold is RIPPING and Bitcoin appears ready for a ripper rally.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 8-19 : Gap Potential (Consolidation)This short video shows you why I believe the US markets will move into a consolidation phase over the next 5-7 days. This phase will likely represent moderate volatility with a Bozu Trending bar on Tuesday (8-20). That Bozu Trending bar may be very explosive in price range. Sit back, wait for the lows to setup over the next 5+ days and position your trades for the bigger Vortex rally phase setting up in about 7+ days. If my research is correct, by 8-26 or so, we should be moving back into the Vortex Rally phase again.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade Update For 8-16 : Inside BreakawayThe move in the SPY today is very consistent with my Inside Breakaway SPY Cycle Pattern. Additionally, the move in Gold is exactly what I predicted would happen over two weeks ago. A dual-leg rally up to $2550. Now, we'll watch Gold rally above $2600 as this second leg appears to have considerable momentum. As we close out the week, I do suspect the SPY will attempt to create a right-shoulder for an inverted Head-n-Shoulder pattern next week. So, be prepared for the SPY to possibly consolidate and move downward a bit before attempting another rally phase. My SPY Cycle Patterns tend to agree with this changing cycle phase in the SPY - so there is some consistency related to a right-shoulder setup. Overall, this has been a tremendous week for traders. My research has continued to deliver great results for my followers and the big move in Gold has been incredible. Next week, we'll do it again.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade 8-16 : Gold Rips - Stocks StallThis video highlights why I believe today's Inside Breakaway may come with some surprises. As Gold rips higher (check out my recent Gold videos) and the SPY really broke higher yesterday with a huge upward GAP and rally, I believe the SPY will stall a bit today and attempt to move higher near the end of the trading day today. I don't believe the markets go straight up or straight down. This big Deep-V recovery has run into resistance and I believe an inverted Head-n-Shoulders is likely to setup. You'll see what I'm talking about in today's video. What this means for SPY traders is to stay cautious today. Short - Quick trades will be the key to success. Don't get married to any bigger, longer-term swings in price today. It is all about getting in and out quickly and efficiently. Gold, on the other hand, could rally to $2620 or higher over the next 5+ trading days. Watch the US Dollar and BTCUSD as the Hedge Trade appears to be very active right now.
