If USDT and USDC continue their gap uptrend, I think it is a sign that funds are flowing into the coin market.
I think that for the altcoin bull market to start, BTC dominance must fall below 55.01 and be maintained or continue to fall.
Therefore, the key is whether it can fall after receiving resistance near the M-Signal indicator or Fibonacci ratio 0.5 (57.95) on the 1W chart.
The decline in USDT dominance is likely to result in a rise in the coin market.
The USDT dominance is expected to touch around 2.84 at the most.
Therefore, the key is whether it can fall after receiving resistance near 3.99-4.16.
If the USDT dominance rises above 4.97, the coin market is likely to show a sharp decline.
Therefore, if it is maintained above 4.97, I think the coin market is likely to turn into a downtrend.
--------------------------------------------
(BTCUSDT 1W chart)
If BTC continues to rise like this, I also hope so.
However, since the StochRSI indicator is maintained at 100 and the StochRSI EMA indicator is approaching 100, BTC will eventually show a downward trend.
Therefore, even if it continues to rise further, it will touch the Fibonacci ratio 2 (106178.85) and show a downward trend.
The StochRSI indicator does not tell us how much the fluctuation will occur.
If it starts to decline,
1st: 87.8K-89K
2nd: 79.9K-80.9K
There is a possibility that it will touch the 1st and 2nd areas above.
If not, and it shows a sideways pattern, it seems that volatility is likely to occur when touching the M-Signal indicator on the 1W chart.
The volatility period on the 1W chart is around the week including December 23rd.
Therefore, it can be seen that the volatility period is from December 16th to January 5th.
If the BW(100) indicator or the HA-High indicator is newly created during the volatility period, it is important to see if it can be supported near it.

- Big picture
I used TradingView's INDEX chart to check the entire range of BTC.
(BTCUSD 12M chart)
Looking at the big picture, it seems to have been following a pattern since 2015.
In other words, it is a pattern that maintains a 3-year bull market and faces a 1-year bear market.
Accordingly, the bull market is expected to continue until 2025.
-
(LOG chart)
Looking at the LOG chart, we can see that the increase is decreasing.
Accordingly, the 46K-48K range is expected to be a very important support and resistance range from a long-term perspective.
Therefore, we do not expect to see prices below 44K-48K in the future.
-
The Fibonacci ratio on the left is the Fibonacci ratio of the uptrend that started in 2015.
That is, the Fibonacci ratio of the first wave of the uptrend.
The Fibonacci ratio on the right is the Fibonacci ratio of the uptrend that started in 2019.
Therefore, this Fibonacci ratio is expected to be used until 2026.
-
No matter what anyone says, the chart has already been created and is already moving.
It is up to you how to view and respond to it.
Since there is no support or resistance point when the ATH is updated, the Fibonacci ratio can be appropriately utilized.
However, although the Fibonacci ratio is useful for chart analysis, it is ambiguous to use it as a support and resistance role.
The reason is that the user must directly select the important selection points required to create the Fibonacci.
Therefore, it can be useful for chart analysis because it is expressed differently depending on how the user specifies the selection point, but it can be seen as ambiguous for use in trading strategies.

Oscillators
Cycle Top Indicator [CTI] | Deep Dive AnalysisIn this post we will look at some of the long-term trends identified with the tracking of the CTI indicator (Red and Green Moving averages in the price chart), and what we can learn from the observed behaviors over Cycle 1 / 2 / 3 and possible implications for Cycle 4.
INDICATOR RECAP
The CTI indicator attempts to model the cycle top based on observed historic price over extension from Cycle 1 / 2. Indicator marks a cycle top when the 'Fast MA' (Red Line) crosses above the 'Slow MA' (Green Line). I.e. the condition where both MAs price value is equal. I should be noted that this condition was achieve for every cycle to date so far, and that the condition was met twice for the experienced 'double peak top' in Cycle 1 but was only met for the first of the two peak tops during Cycle 3.
OSCILLATOR: % DISTANCE MODELLED BETWEEN SLOW (GREEN MA) & FAST (RED MA) – NORMALISED TO PRICE
The below oscillator models the %Distance away from each other the Green Line and the Red line gets over BTC's cycles (Normalised to Price).
* RED HORIZONTAL LINE: When the oscillator is equal to 1, this models the price value of the Green and Red moving averages as equal (or the CTI cycle top condition)
* ORANGE HORIZONTAL LINE(s): These mark the maximum over extension the Red MA exceeded the Green MA during a cycle top condition.
* GREEN HORIZONTAL LINE(s): These mark low levels of the oscillator, indicator maximum distance of the Red MA below the Green MA during each cycle.
BLACK SLOPING TREND LINE(s): Represent the diminishing trend of overlap between the Green and Red Mas each cycle.
* VERTICAL RED AND GREEN LINES: Show cycle tops and bottoms as triggered by the CTI and CBI (Cycle Bottom Indicators) – NOTE: CBI moving averages not shown.
SIGNIFICANCE OF ORANGE HORIZONTAL & BLACK TREND LINES
It is observable that each peak of the Oscillator is lower than the previous cycle peak (each peak is marked with an Orange horizontal line). This diminishing trend is shown with each orange line marked lower than the line before, and modeled with the Black downward sloping trend line(s) connecting the peaks.
A reminder that the Red Horizontal line shows the condition with the CTI models the cycle top and conditions above the Red Horizontal line show the % distance the Red MA reaches above the Green MA each cycle. For example:
* Cycle 1 Peak = 1.58
* Cycle 2 First peak = 1.25
* Cycle 2 Second peak = 1.20
* Cycle 3 First peak = 1.07
The diminishing trend of this relationship over each cycle (if historic behavior continues) suggest that the CTI overlap condition for cycle 4 my not eventuate. This would be modeled by our oscillator not exceeding the red line in Cycle 4.
The learnings for this analysis could suggest that waiting for the CTI indicator to Fire may result in a non-event for Cycle 4.
SIGNIFICANCE OF GREEN HORIZONTAL LINES
A surprising finding from this analysis show for all cycles to date that when the modeled oscillator reaches levels between -1.11 and -1.82 and particularly for Cycles 2 / 3 & 4 between -1.50 & -1.82 (Red MA % distance below the Grean MA), Historically BTC has found its cycle bottom. These findings are summarized below for quick reference.
* CYCLE 1-4 Bottom Oscillator Condition: -1.11 <> -1.82
* CYCLE 2-4 Bottom Oscillator Condition: -1.50 <> -1.82
Feel free to include any other observations I may have missed in the comments below. i intend to do a similar analysis for the CBI indicator when I find the time.
PepsiCo Limps at Key SupportPepsiCo has struggled all year, and some traders may think the food-and-beverage giant is breaking down.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the October 2023 low of $155.83. PEP bounced at the level in November and is now revisiting it. Is support giving way?
Next, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) recently crossed below the 100- and 200-day SMAs. The 100-day SMA is also below the 200-day SMA. That pattern (faster SMAs below slower SMAs) may be consistent with a longer-term downtrend.
Third, MACD is falling.
Finally, lower highs over the last three quarters may be consistent with bearish sentiment.

I have had many financial analysts for decades always point out this chart when the markets seem toppy or indecisive.
The Dow has closed 9 days in a row, first time since the 70s, that's quite interesting, let's watch to see if the theory behind this indicator proves we are in for a rally as I expect.
The markets always tend to go higher more than one might think.

#008 NEW DCA USDCAD Buy Up TrendI bought USDCAD just because I saw that it has been trending.
No other reasons. I think sometimes no reason but because it is trending is a very good reason.
Just like duolingo, godaddy, marriott, tesla. Don't question. No need for question.
Obviously if something is going to go upwards and it has been going upwards, plus being strongly going up, you would want to take a piece out of it. You dont question why its going up. You just grab that wall flower and begin peddling. Once the trend dies, and you give it logic, you kill yourself with the logic when the logic doesn't work out the way you thought.
So, don't think. theres nothing to think about.

Mastering RSI: The Complete and CORRECT Way to Trade ItThe Relative Strength Index (RSI) is one of the most popular and widely used indicators in trading.
Despite its prevalence, many traders misuse it or are unaware of its full potential. RSI isn't just about identifying overbought and oversold conditions; when applied correctly, it becomes a robust tool for trend confirmation, reversals, momentum acceleration, and much more.
This guide explores how to unlock the full power of RSI and avoid common pitfalls.
What Is RSI?
Developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr., RSI measures the speed and magnitude of price changes over a specified period. It oscillates between 0 and 100, with the following traditional zones:
Above 70: Indicates overbought conditions, where the price may reverse or consolidate.
Below 30: Indicates oversold conditions, where the price may rebound or reverse upward.
However, it’s important to note that RSI above 70 or below 30 can sometimes indicate trend acceleration rather than an immediate reversal—especially in strong trending markets, discussed in #6
The real reversal signal comes after RSI crosses back below 70 (for overbought) or back above 30 (for oversold). Understanding this distinction is critical to using RSI effectively.
1. Overbought and Oversold Conditions
The classic use of RSI involves identifying overbought and oversold levels:
Overbought: RSI rises above 70 and then drops back below it, signaling potential selling pressure.
Oversold: RSI falls below 30 and then moves back above it, indicating potential buying interest.
These signals are more effective when combined with tools like support/resistance levels or trendlines.
2. Centerline Crossover
The 50-level on RSI is a reliable trend indicator:
Above 50: Bullish momentum dominates.
Below 50: Bearish momentum dominates.
Use these crossovers to confirm trends:
Enter long trades when RSI is above 50.
Enter short trades when RSI is below 50.
3. Divergences
Divergences between RSI and price can signal potential trend reversals:
Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower lows, but RSI forms higher lows.
Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher highs, but RSI forms lower highs.
These divergences highlight weakening momentum and often precede reversals.
4. RSI Patterns
RSI can form recognizable chart patterns, such as triangles, head-and-shoulders, or double tops/bottoms. These patterns often precede price moves:
Triangles: A breakout on RSI often signals a strong price move.
Double Tops : A topping pattern on RSI warns of potential price declines.
5. Failure Swings
Failure swings occur when RSI enters an extreme zone (above 70 or below 30) but fails to sustain momentum and reverses. This is a strong reversal signal and can precede significant price moves:
Bullish Failure Swing:
RSI dips below 30.
It rises but dips again, staying above 30.
RSI breaks its previous high, signaling a bullish reversal.
Bearish Failure Swing:
RSI rises above 70.
It falls but rises again, staying below 70.
RSI breaks its previous low, signaling a bearish reversal.
How to trade it:
For a bullish failure swing, enter long when RSI confirms the higher low and breaks above the previous swing high.
For a bearish failure swing, enter short when RSI confirms the lower high and breaks below the previous swing low.
6. Momentum Acceleration Strategy
While RSI is traditionally used for spotting overbought and oversold conditions, it can also identify momentum acceleration during strong trends:
Above 70: In strong uptrends, when RSI rises above 70 and stays there, it signals upward acceleration, indicating buyers are in control.
Below 30: In strong downtrends, when RSI dips below 30 and stays there, it signals downward acceleration, with sellers driving the market lower.
How to trade it:
In uptrends, treat RSI staying above 70 as a sign of strength and look for pullbacks to enter long positions.
In downtrends, use brief rebounds as opportunities to short while RSI remains below 30.
7. Multi-Timeframe Strategy
Analyzing RSI across multiple timeframes enhances accuracy:
Use the higher timeframe (e.g., daily) to identify the overall trend.
Use the lower timeframe (e.g., 1-hour) to time trade entries.
Example:
If RSI on the daily chart is above 50 (bullish trend), look for hourly RSI dips below 30 to enter long trades.
If RSI on the daily chart is below 50 (bearish trend), wait for hourly RSI to reach overbought levels above 70 to short.
Tips for Advanced RSI Use:
Adjust RSI Settings: Shorter periods (e.g., 7) make RSI more sensitive, while longer periods (e.g., 21) smooth out signals for longer-term trends.
Combine RSI with Other Tools: Use RSI alongside moving averages, Fibonacci retracements, or Candlesticks.
Risk Management: Always pair RSI signals with a stop-loss strategy to manage risk effectively.
PRO TIP: As I like to say "Trade the price, not the indicator."
Use RSI as a confirmation tool, not the main signal.
For example, a price reversal from resistance or a bullish engulfing candle becomes far more reliable when backed by RSI signals.
Conclusion
RSI is far more versatile than many traders realize. While it’s traditionally used for identifying overbought and oversold levels, strategies like momentum acceleration and failure swings add depth to its utility. By combining RSI with centerline crossovers, divergences, multi-timeframe analysis, and chart patterns, traders can pinpoint entries, reversals, and momentum shifts with more precision and trade more confidently.
Key Takeaways:
- RSI staying above 70 or below 30 in trends signals momentum acceleration.
- Failure swings offer reliable reversal signals when RSI breaks key levels.
- Combining RSI strategies with other tools and proper risk management leads to more confidence
USDCAD Wave Analysis 16 December 2024
- USDCAD reversed from support zone
- Likely to rise to resistance level 1.4300
USDCAD currency pair recently reversed up pivotal support level 1.4140, former resistance level which reversed the price sharply at the end of November.
The upward reversal from the support level 1.4140 started the active impulse wave 5 of the higher order impulse wave (3) from September.
Given the clear daily uptrend, USDCAD currency pair can be expected to rise further to the next resistance level 1.4300.
AUDUSD Wave Analysis 16 December 2024
- AUDUSD reversed from support zone
- Likely to rise to resistance level 0.6400
AUDUSD currency pair recently reversed up from the support area set between the strong support level 0.6350 (which has been reversing the price from 2023, lower border of the weekly sideways price range) and the lower weekly Bollinger Band.
The upward reversal from the support zone stopped the previous impulse waves 3 and (3).
Given the oversold weekly Stochastic and the strength of the support level 0.6350, AUDUSD currency pair can be expected to rise further to the next resistance level 0.6400.
The key is whether the price can be maintained above 3644.71
Hello, traders.

Have a nice day today.
-------------------------------------
(ETHUSDT 1W chart)
The key is whether the price can be maintained by rising above the upper section of the HA-High indicator box on the 1M chart.
If not, it will eventually show a downward trend.
The reason is that the StochRSI indicator is maintained at the 100 point and the StochRSI EMA indicator is approaching the 100 point.
Since the StochRSI EMA indicator has not touched the 100 point so far, it will eventually show a downward trend.
However, since the StochRSI indicator cannot predict how much fluctuation will occur, you should refer to the support and resistance points drawn on the 1M, 1W, and 1D charts.
Therefore,
1st: 3438.16-3644.71
2nd: 3265.0-3321.30
The point to watch is whether it can receive support near the 1st and 2nd above.
If the StochRSI indicator is maintained at the 100 point for a long time, you should keep in mind that even if a small decline occurs, the decline in the StochRSI indicator is likely to be quite large.
In other words, it means that there are cases where it pretends to decline and moves sideways and then rises.
To determine this, it is good to refer to the movement of the OBV indicator.

Gold bearish movementGold is bearish now.
After BAT Pattern completion (exactly on relevant PRZ) it is started to model the XA wave with Elliot 5 waves. it is completed for now although it would continue due to strong move. because of positive divergence we would have a bullish correction up then it will continue downward to the BAT target (AX wave model). and it will meet the end of the long term channel which can be seen here.
3MINDIA - Nice Reversal?RSI is looking strong and closing is also above 20EMA Band.
Expecting it to fall a bit to normalize the RSI, which CAN BE the right time to enter.
For stop loss, closing below 20EMA band or previous swing low can be used. It is purely individual study and choice.
Currently market is very volatile and we also have earning of 3MINDIA in coming week, which can contradict my study and analysis. Hence do your own analysis and act accordingly.
Strictly follow Risk Reward management and strict SL is necessary.
All Targets achieved on PSO!PSO Call was initiated on 25 Oct'24 at the breakout of 225, however, could not be published due to unpaid account.
78% gains as per the projections have been achieved within 2 months.
Swing traders should close their trades here, however, those wish to ride the trend can still hold it with Stop loss at 288
OGDC all Targets achieved !Initiated a call in Sep'24 for potential Target of 190 on the breakout of symmetrical triangle and breakout of previous LH which was achieved on 8 Nov'24. given swing traders approx 35% gain within 2 months.
The stock is likely to continue its bullish momentum and might test its first resistance at 244 and second resistance at 265. However, those who wish to ride should place SL @ 177 so that all gains are not eroded.
Bitcoin’s bullish break generates fresh long setup Bitcoin futures have opened the new week on the front foot, talking out the former record highs at $105325 before extending the move as Asian markets come online.
RSI (14) has broken its downtrend while MACD looks like it may crossover from below, suggesting bullish momentum may be building again.
While the price signal is definitive, we’ve not seen pickup in volumes accompanying the bullish break, making the preference to wait for a retest of $105325 before initiating long positions, rather than simply buying around these levels.
If there was pullback and bounce from $105325, it would improve conviction in the setup, allowing for longs to be established above the level with a tight stop beneath for protection.
If the trade were to move in your favour, the preference would be to wait for a topping pattern or signal to determine whether to hold, take profit or reverse the move.
Octopus is attractive to Buy at these levels Offering 117% GainsThe stock after breaking out its accumulation zone enters the bullish territory and printed a Cup and Handle formation on weekly chart. The stock has successfully broke out the Cup and Handle but went into consolidation after posting bearish divergence. Currently, retraced till 71.8% as per FIB levels and being accumulated for another bullish ride where it can double the investment within next 6 months.
One can start accumulate atleast 25% allocation at these levels with SL at 55. Confirmation to the Target price will be given once weekly closing above 100 is given by the stock where it will validate the journey towards final target price of 165 which is the projection of Cup and Handle formation.
