BTC/USD - is BTC still in a downtrend?Let’s have a look at the BTC/USD 1 week chart and see what this chart and indicators are telling us. BTC is still in a massive Falling Wedge Pattern. BTC is also still in a massive Ichimoku Y-Wave pattern. Note that the 50MA is still traveling DOWNWARDS towards the 200MA so we still might see a Death Cross on this 1 week timeframe. At the moment of typing this, BTC has crossed back under its Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) on this 1 week timeframe. A successful close below the LSMA and successful re-test as resistance will indicate that the direction of travel will most likely continue downwards. BTC is still way under its Bollinger Bands Middle Band Basis 20 Period SMA on this 1 week timeframe. Looking at the Descending Pitchfork Pattern, we can see the Support and Resistance levels that BTC has been hitting on this indicator. Here is a closer look at this 1 week chart: BTC is still in the Bearish Zone of all 3 of its major Ichimoku Clouds. Looking at BTC’s most important Ichimoku Cloud: The Conversion Line (Tenkan Sen) is indicating that mid-point the short-term momentum is downwards at the moment. The Base Line (Kijun Sen) is indicating that the mid-point of the mid-term momentum is sideways at the moment. The Lagging Span (Chikou Span) is indicating that momentum, at the moment is starting to slope downwards. Using the Negative V Calculation from the 1 Month Chart, and using the Ichimoku Timespan Numbers of 65-Bars and 76-Bars starting from the ATH at $68,789.63 back in Nov 2021, we have 2 potential timeframes for the price target $9,916. V Calculation Negative (from 1 month chart) V = B - (C-B) = D C $25,160 - B $17,538 = $7,622 B $17,538 - (C-B) $7,1622 = $9,916 D1 = $9,916 The week of 6th Feb 2023 D2 = $9,916 The week 24th April 2023 Note that this is NOT a bottom for BTC but is a PRICE TARGET using the Ichimoku V Calculation (Negative). Looking at the Up/Down Volume, we can see that the Volume Traded since around June 2021 has been nothing when compared to what has been previously traded in the past. Looking at the Relative Strength Index (RSI) we can see that the RSI is pointing downwards and still has plenty of room to move downwards before becoming Oversold on this 1 week timeframe. Note that the RSI is getting very close to crossing under is 9 Period EMA. From my opinion, before anyone can start talking or preaching about bottoms, reversals and bull-runs, we need to talk about fundamentals and what is happening to the world economy. We also now know that the Crypto world isn’t yet a hedge against inflation and we also need to accept the fact that the world is already in a recession and possibly heading into a depression in 2023. From my opinion BTC is still in a mid to longterm downtrend. That is NOT going to change unless BTC crosses back ABOVE and more importantly CLOSES ABOVE its 200MA on the 1 Day Chart for Mid-Term and 1 Week Chart for Long-Term. If/when this happens, be on the lookout for any successful re-test as support on these timeframes. Once this world wide recession fully bottoms out be it in 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years or 10 years and when the powers that be have had their fill of transferring wealth from the Middle Class and the Poor to the elites, then true opportunities WILL ARISE for those who are ready. Again this is all my opinion so I hope this post is helpful.

SPY to Lower MLHAMEX:SPY Mod Schiff... Apply Fork Law... Rinse + Repeat. SPY will test the lower parallel today. FORK LAW Price will reach the latest Median Line. Price will reverse upon meeting the Median Line or gap through it. (Zoom through 24 hr markets) When price crosses through a Median Line, it will pull back to retest it. If prices reverse before reaching the latest Median Line, it will move away from the Median Line stronger and faster than the preceding move towards it. Price will reverse at any Median Line or extension of a prior Median Line. Fat_Fat

PTRA - Another Capitulation Wave DownPTRA All the action is in EV today. PTRA down 10% already today in tandem with TSLA collapse. This looked somewhat promising as it probed out of the pitchfork although the clue was that no other EVs were moving with it. But after the 3 wave completion there were 2 shorting opportunities as it fell back into the pitchfork. One was positional, the other with momentum. And imo the momentum trade was the much safe option with the SRP (Shakeout Reversal Pattern) probing back into the dotted warning line entering near the candle close. Heading for a massive capitulation. I didn't trade this one but just to show the working. Can't think of a worse market for hodlers 😸. Not advice.

XAU/USD Long - 15/30m - NY Open - Dec 20 20222 PFs in this case showed confluence that price might be making another rally up. Downward PF shows that ceilings are being broken and retested which suggests Gold is becoming bullish. Looking at the upwards PF , we can see that floors are being respected included parallels. The upwards PF had parallels (dotted lines) that were also respected in confluence with the downward PF which gave great confidence to take the trade and let it run to TP without partials. For this trade, we waited until 4h closed as a rejected after the last 4h pushed and closed above a ceiling. With stops below the previous 30m (as this will invalidate the buy), we took a buy and price never looked back. It went on breaking the basing 4h candle which caused an instant jump in price as many traders expected it to continue with this bullish momentum (fairly quick 1:2 trade). No partials taken throughout the trade and a 10% runner was left to take advantage of any more jumps in price, especially since the daily and weekly suggest that price can continue bullish breaking out of the current horizontal channel. Total TP set for 1835 in accordance with the bullish PF next major ceiling with SL at BE.

Bitcoin impulse down, but then?PA rising and Volume falling, not usually the best mix for a bull run. Elliott Wave count up is debatable. My focus and I think most will accept a probable impulse down. SO some levels of potential clarity I'm watching. 16.8k area, impulse complete 17165, resist and algo land. 17421, Impulse complete/inval I think until one of these breaks, could go either way. Idealized patterns shown for whats next. GLTA! If you have found this inspiring/helpful, please consider a boost and follow! Any questions or comments, please leave on comment!

HYLN - Pitchfork Elevator Ride 🙀😾It got a bit exciting in EV for a minute or two and HYLN had a flurry upward, but just to show you in terms of trend really nothing has happened and that shooting star through the green upper median line is bearish, shows another leg down coming. Who know where the bottom is really, I have fib targets but just like train stops the train can just keep on going and TSLA is looking bearish which is not good for small fry like HYLN. Will be looking to buy HYLN one day but not today. Not advice.
