Building a massive short up to 55k We are seeing a similar pattern to the 2020-2021 bull run, but this time under different circumstances and with Bitcoin at a much higher price. Over the years, Bitcoin has significantly outperformed benchmarks like the S&P 500, which continues to attract both institutional and retail investors. Previously, we experienced a correction from $60K to $30K. Now, we’re observing a correction from approximately $100K to $50K. These are rough estimates, but the trend appears consistent. In my opinion, based on the past eight years of observing Bitcoin charts (though not daily), the market often feels manipulated. This is likely due to Bitcoin’s relatively smaller market cap compared to other asset classes like stocks, forex, or mega-cap stocks (e.g., FAANGM). Recently, we faced rejection from a falling wedge pattern on the ES, which is bearish. I had hoped that lower VIX levels would encourage portfolio managers to re-enter the market, but with the stock market holiday on Wednesday, the 25th, I anticipated heightened volatility and an additional correction of approximately 8-10%. I’m aware that hedge funds are engaging in “window dressing” as the year ends. Portfolio managers are likely to remain passive, avoiding risky trades that could jeopardize their year-end bonuses. As a result, we can expect a quieter market from their side. Along the way, we may see some “dead cat bounces,” but there’s no need to worry. I had hoped Bitcoin would maintain its upward trajectory, but putting emotions aside and analyzing objectively: VWAP is significantly below the current price. Fibonacci retracement suggests further downside. Awesome Oscillator (AO) and RSI indicate bearish momentum. Money flow is negative. A significant short wall has formed, and many positions have already been liquidated . Based on this, it seems likely that we’ll continue moving downward. I’ve included two additional charts in the comments below for further insights.

GBPJPY // countertrend breakThere is a valid bull trend on the monthly and below. The trigger level is the daily breakdown, which is in line with the break of the countertrend line. If it's taken back by the buyers, the market enters in the daily long expansion phase, and the daily target fibo 138.2 in line with the next daily breakdown is my target zone. ——— We may not know what will happen, but we can prepare ourselves to respond effectively to whatever unfolds. Stay grounded, stay present. 🏄🏼‍♂️ Your comments and support are appreciated! 👊🏼

USDJPY: HTF DT ANALYSIS (1D)HIGH TIMEFRAME DOWNTREND ANALYSIS TECHNICAL ANALYSIS Resistance: 161.03 (Major Resistance, distal) 158.33 (Major Resistance, proximal) These levels are aligned with previous rejection zones. 157.8650 (Sell Stoploss Zones) Support: 147.7718 (Strong pivot level from historical lows). 144.8898 and 144.1802 (Mid pivot and buy orders zone). Pivot Zones: 153.4900 (Sell limit identified) 149.7555 (Mid Pivot TP 2 target). Trend: The pair is in a downtrend as highlighted on the chart, with key resistance zones being tested. Pivot Highs and Lows: Pivot highs are aligning with bearish divergences, as seen in areas of DT (Double Top) confirmations. Pivot lows signal potential reversals near support levels, supported by UT (Upward Trend) signals. Volume and Risk Metrics: Volume around Resistance 158 shows diminishing upward momentum, increasing the likelihood of rejection. Risk Index: 0.01853 indicates manageable risk levels for short trades. Reward Index: -0.01521 signifies opportunities for improved reward setups on lower timeframes. PROBABILITY ASSESSMENT Bearish Scenario: Rejection from the 153-158 range offers significant downside probability toward 147.77 and 144.18. Bullish Recovery: A confirmed breakout above 158.04 with strong volume could invalidate the bearish outlook, targeting 160.00. FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS Macroeconomic Context: The Bank of Japan (BoJ) has maintained ultra-loose monetary policies, which contrasts with the U.S. Federal Reserve's higher interest rate stance. This divergence favors dollar strength. However, seasonal tendencies show that December often has corrective movements due to year-end profit-taking and reduced trading liquidity. Economic Data: Upcoming U.S. GDP and BoJ Monetary Policy Minutes could catalyze volatility. Watch for geopolitical developments impacting the Yen as a safe-haven currency. Market Sentiment: Investor sentiment is cautious. With the chart showing multiple sell zones and exhaustion signals Traders may wait for confirmation before heavy entries. TRADE RECOMMENDATIONS High-Risk Opportunities: Sell Entry: Stop Loss: Above 158.0416 157.06 (Sell Limit Order) 155.44 (Sell Stop Order 1) 153.49 (Sell Stop Order 2) Target: 147.84 (Major Support) Buy Entry: Entry: Near 144.1802 Stop Loss: Below 141.64

OrderUSDT: Is the Bullish Breakout for Real? Don’t Miss !Yello Paradisers! Are you ready for what could be the next big move? #OrderUSDT is flexing some serious strength compared to the rest of the market. But is it all hype, or are we on the verge of something significant? Let’s break it down. 💎#OrderUSDT has shattered a descending trendline it was stuck in for days. The breakout wasn’t just clean—it’s already retested on lower time frame as well, showing strong probability for sustained upside.After being crushed in a downtrend, the pair has shifted gears into an uptrend. That’s right, Paradisers: higher highs are back on the table. 💎The probability is high for the upside move as A critical resistance zone was flipped into support after formation of double bottom below at support zone. This spot is holding strong and could become the springboard for the next move up. 💎If OrderUSDT pulls back, look for the previous resistance-turned-support zone around $0.22-$0.23.A deeper retracement could test the descending trendline, now a key support near $0.20-$0.21. 💎The next critical resistance zone for OrderUSDT lies between $0.27 and $0.2751, a level that will likely test the strength of the current bullish momentum. A successful break and hold above this area could pave the way for a continuation toward the next significant hurdle at $0.295 to $0.30. Clearing this upper range would not only solidify the bullish structure but also signal the potential for an even stronger upward move, drawing increased market participation and setting the stage for higher targets in the near future. 💎If the pair fails to hold support and drops below $0.18, this would invalidate the bullish scenario and signal a potential return to bearish action. 💎This market loves to shake out the weak hands before making its real move. A pullback here might just be the perfect opportunity to position yourself smartly. But remember: discipline is key. Don’t rush—wait for confirmations at key levels. Stay sharp, Paradisers. This market isn’t for the faint of heart—but for those who stay disciplined, the rewards can be game-changing. Let’s crush it! MyCryptoParadise iFeel the success🌴

SPY Technical Analysis for Tomorrow - Dec. 231. Key Levels * Resistance Levels: * $594.00: Immediate resistance level based on recent price action. * $600.00: Psychological resistance and critical test zone. * $608.50: Longer-term resistance from prior highs. * Support Levels: * $588.00: Current consolidation support zone. * $582.30: Intermediate support level based on prior rejections. * $577.74: Major structural low and critical support from the recent bounce. Observations and Price Action 1. Trend: * SPY bounced strongly from $577.74, creating a higher low, indicating short-term bullish momentum. * Price is consolidating under $594.00, which could act as a key pivot point for the next move. 2. Stochastic RSI: * The Stochastic RSI is entering overbought territory, suggesting potential slowing momentum or a pullback before another leg up. 3. Volume: * The recent move off $577.74 was accompanied by rising volume, signaling buying interest at key support. My Thoughts on SPY’s Direction * Bullish Bias: SPY is likely to retest $594.00 and potentially break higher toward $600.00 if buying momentum continues. * Bearish Risks: If $594.00 holds as resistance, a pullback to $588.00 or even $582.30 could occur. I lean slightly bullish, but a breakout above $594.00 is essential for further upside. Watch for rejection signals if SPY struggles to clear this level. Trade Scenarios Bullish Scenario: * Entry: On a breakout above $594.00 with strong volume. * Targets: * Short-Term: $600.00. * Extended: $608.50. * Stop-Loss: Below $592.00 to minimize risk.

Key Focus Areas * $594.00 Resistance: Watch for a breakout or rejection. * Volume Confirmation: Ensure volume aligns with the direction of the move. * Momentum Shift: Monitor the Stochastic RSI for signs of a reversal or continuation. Conclusion SPY is consolidating near a critical resistance level at $594.00. A breakout would open the door to $600.00, while rejection could lead to a pullback toward $588.00 or lower. The direction tomorrow will largely depend on how SPY reacts to the $594.00 level. ----------- Option Trading Scalping and Long/Short Strategy for SPY ------------ 1. Scalping Strategy for Options Key Observations from GEX Levels and Chart * Resistance Levels: * $593.00: Strong resistance, aligns with the 3rd Call Wall (53.16% GEX). * $598.00: Another key resistance from the 2nd Call Wall. * $600.00: Psychological resistance and CALL Resistance level (93.35%). * Support Levels: * $587.00: High Volume Level (HVL) and critical support zone. * $583.74: Highest negative gamma exposure (Put Support). * $577.74: Recent swing low and major structural support. * Options Oscillator Insight: * IV Rank is moderate (27.6%), indicating stable implied volatility. * Puts outweigh Calls (48.3%), showing slight bearish sentiment. Scalping Call Options (Bullish Setup): * Entry: If SPY breaks above $593.00 with volume confirmation. * Target: $598.00 (short-term target) and $600.00 (extended target). * Stop-Loss: Below $592.00 to manage risk. Why It Works:
The breakout above $593.00 aligns with gamma-driven resistance at $598.00 and $600.00, signaling momentum to the upside. Scalping Put Options (Bearish Setup): * Entry: On rejection at $593.00 or breakdown below $587.00. * Target: $583.74 (short-term target) and $577.74 (extended target). * Stop-Loss: Above $593.50 for rejections or $588.00 for breakdown trades. Why It Works:
Failure to hold $587.00 would push SPY toward negative gamma zones, with increased bearish pressure targeting the next support levels. 2. Long/Short Strategy Long Strategy (Bullish Case): * Entry: Above $593.00 with sustained price action and volume. * Targets: * Short-Term: $598.00. * Extended: $600.00. * Stop-Loss: Below $591.00 to minimize downside risk. Why It Works:
Breaking $593.00 indicates bullish momentum with gamma resistance weakening as the price moves higher. Short Strategy (Bearish Case): * Entry: On rejection at $593.00 or a confirmed breakdown below $587.00. * Targets: * Short-Term: $583.74. * Extended: $577.74. * Stop-Loss: Above $594.00 for rejection trades, or $588.50 for breakdown trades. Why It Works:
A failed breakout or breakdown aligns with bearish sentiment from the options flow, targeting downside gamma zones. 3. Additional Notes * Volume Confirmation: * Monitor volume spikes near $593.00 for breakouts or rejections. * Timeframe: * Use the 1-minute or 5-minute chart for scalping. * Strike Selection: * Focus on at-the-money (ATM) options with 7–14 DTE for scalping. Conclusion * Bullish Scenario: Breakout above $593.00 targets $598.00 and $600.00. * Bearish Scenario: Rejection at $593.00 or breakdown below $587.00 targets $583.74 and $577.74.

AUDUSD SHORT - (Short + medium term direction prediction)Higher Timeframe trend = Sell Retail trader bias = Buy Institutional bias = Sell Short term target = retail trader stoploss zone I would like to clarify that I dont trade with extended targets like the secondary and tertiary ones marked. This might be handy for people who leave runners on their trades. Also keep in mind that I am only providing my own SUBJECTIVE potential target levels here. The best thing to do would be to drop down to lower timeframes and look for good areas of value to enter that are part of your own plan. S : -7 C : 26,74 - 56,44 R : 73,27
