POLYGON MATIC : DON'T BUY UNLESS IT TOUCHS THIS AREA hello guys for this little analysis i made i used the fib retracement this is for long term holding not for scalping i used the one day frame as you can see the price is at the golden area 0.6 . it mean the price already lost 60% from the last ath ; it a very good entry point but the market is still messy no one knows where we're heading . i also used the rsi and the macd and they both show that the price will potentially stil go down to the support that i marked with the callout note . so please be cautious and in my opinion i think matic wil be the next 2022 coin that pumps . i have marked two entry points use only 50 percent of your capital and good luck if you want to add something or ask or comment or criticise please be my guest im all ears .
trade on your own risks
A year in the life of BitcoinAs a professional trader, I have been lucky enough to have been buying Bitcoin since 2011. Here's a post showing what I have seen this last year, which to be fair has been amazing to see first hand.
I remember the buzz of trading penny stocks 20 years ago and crypto seems to have brought that excitement back for many! However, for Bitcoin this year has been proof of the institutional players joining the club. Which is not always as it seems - many retail assume more big players in and the price only moves up.
Here's a view from the last year;
December 2020; (click image for post)
For the first time you where able to see decent correlation with Bitcoin and other instruments pitted against the Dollar. Which meant it was beginning to be taken seriously by the powers that be. The reason I give some history above was to explain that during the 2017 rally, you could see the move was hype rather than large volume from "fund type investors". As a VC investor in technologies around Cyber, AI and Blockchain looking back at that period you could clearly see that it was in the transition period. Many blockchain projects where being invested in by other VC's on one pre-condition. Where the price of Bitcoin was on the day or during the week. If it was up, they would sign a deal, if it was down they would walk away. It was a time of uncertainty for old school money.
Post the drop and run from early 2018 through to 2019. Other projects came to fruition that meant even in the investment world it moved from Technology focused to financial capability driven. By this I mean, when investment came to blockchain prior to 2018 it was a technology investment (although yes it still is today) you need to understand the operators in the investment world. Beyond venture capital you have other entities and these often have even more diversified portfolio's - they include Private Equity, Hedge funds, Family offices and several others. Unlike VC's who have a focus (more often than not) these are what a venture capital fund is often made up of. It's these guys putting the cash into the funds, they also invest in properties and other such investments. Enter the Funds and ETF's in particular.
In chart terms this could be seen as Re-accumulation; although the earlier adopters (myself included) where in the instrument before the MEGA players came to town. Click the image for the post **
This was posted in January this year showing the forecasted targets to the next level.
In February I posted an article about the value area;
The value area proved to be very accurate and therefor the justification of the MEGA players starting to take some control of the instrument.
As I saw the psychology of the retail play into the hands of these tactics, every day become more fascinating to watch key levels being used and the retail crowd being controlled and herded like cattle into the waves. I covered some of this in a psychology based post again in March - click link through for post.
This literally was merriment of a technology becoming a real world asset!
As you can see here - this solidified the professional & strong hands not only operating in the space, but controlling it.
This next one - most of my followers know me for. This is where the masses where shouting "accumulation" Again, as clear as day the signs where written and mapped out.
Here's the AFTER image.
So as you are starting to see, it's now playing by the rules - all of this in front of my eyes.
Later in March I wrote out a full on Roadmap; Click image
I covered here the logic for the waves.
And obviously;
In May this year I covered the basics of Wyckoff and why the Rocket call and the Roadmap where viable options. This was featured as an editor's pick by @TradingView
In April; I posted about the Grayscale discount rates.
With Grayscale, Wyckoff and the Elliott situation, we ultimately saw the drop from the previous ATH and the retail crowd had Billions wiped off their positions in a very short period.
In June I was talking about the emotional analysis and why these types of tools work so well.
July - Highlighting the lack of common sense;
August - Why it's not a simple line.
Yes that's a drawing not an image ;-)
End of August - the pullback for the long position up to the new ATH.
September was "what we are going to need for mass adoption"
Even covered some insight to Dark Pools;
Fast foreword a couple of months and we could forecast the monthly 3 situation in terms of Elliott Wave;
The above was the 30th of September into a new high (grey top level) covering clusters below;
October - highlighted the retail sentiment.
Fuelled by this guy;
I had a ton of people come and say "he's not wrong" forgetting he called 92k in April. Retail seeing what they wanted to see and not what's in front of them.
On the 10th of November we saw the September level being used as clear resistance.
In November I talked through the money flow and the COT situation currently;
See link to post in related ideas.
As a professional trader of over 20 years and an active VC investor I am overall Bullish Bitcoin, I do however have one slight hesitation. Mainly to do with the Governments and people in control of the financial systems globally. I covered this in another post - Now I am not saying it's what it is, I am saying "What if"...
So here's the year of Bitcoin posts, running commentary and some education in between.

Bitcoin is at a crossroad, but which path will it take? This will depend on you. Which will we see first, 10k? Or 100k?
I know I know, we want 10k so we can enter with minuscule risk and 10x our bags when we cross 100k, but that would be too easy.zzzz. Or would it? Would you buy a bloody Bitcoin that just crashed 50% from 32k to 16k? Easy yes you say? 50% discount easy to buy you say?
Then I suppose you would jump at the opportunity to buy a bloody Bitcoin that just crashed 50% from 64k to 32k? I suppose you already have.
Gold path is Wyckoff accumulation pattern, which seems is being followed pretty picturesque for now. green extended time frame, blue is most bearish sideways possibility
All paths lead to the same outcome, which is Bitcoin souring beyond 100k, only question is when.
We seem to have finished wave 5 down of the bearish impulse from 64k, but could still be in for an extended 5 (in blue on the chart)
It seems unlikely that we will go lower as this area has held for two months now with all the short pressure, but it’s possible we see an extended 5 wave down as far as 18k, I was looking at the 12k area a few months ago, but 30k, and especially under, has been bought aggressively so I’m leaning cautiously bullish towards 55k before a pullback that would likely bottom around 43k, which will have become our new support once we cross that magic number again.
Choose your destiny
Let me know in the comments; which path will you choose?

You little DevilI posted a quick update stream this morning for ETH & XRP. Yesterday we covered BTC in a bit more depth.
Here's the link to the stream www.tradingview.com
Ok so breaking down the basics, we had an Elliott count making this move a major 3 and having a deep correction.
If you watch the stream - you will see the XRP and ETH correlation to each other and to BTC.
There is an area of concern for me, that would suggest either an ugly move up or we are still in the phase 3-4.
Take a look at this stochastic on the weekly timeframe - there is room for a drop to continue, even if it's not deeper. It's not impulsive to the upside yet either.
In the Total chart there are also some regions and levels of interest for me. Take a look at this one;
Given the correlation and lag on BTC - it is no surprise that most retail traders would have had this feeling over the last 7 days.
The dominance on the other.D is another interesting view.
We were navigating the move down using a combination of Elliott and Wyckoff and this move played out near enough textbook.
Here's a post on the wyckoff basics features recently here on TradingView;

EUR/USD: Extending March gainsConsolidation around 1.2000 has given way to the anticipated break higher, with rising intraday studies prompting a break to the 1.2035 Fibonacci retracement. Daily readings are also positive, and weekly charts continue to improve, highlighting a more robust tone and extension of March gains towards the 1.2115 retracement. Meanwhile, support is raised to congestion around 1.2000 and should underpin any immediate setbacks. A close beneath here, however, would turn sentiment Neutral and put prices back into consolidation above 1.1943/50.

USD Index DXY: Possible pullback before prices continue higherThe test of the 93.44 Fibonacci retracement and congestion around 93.50 is giving way to a short-term pullback, whilst intraday studies track lower and overbought daily stochastics turn down. Congestion support at 93.00 is under pressure, but the rising Tension Indicator and improving weekly charts should limit any break to fresh consolidation above 92.50. Following corrective trade, fresh gains are looked for, with a later close above 93.44/50 confirming continuation of January gains towards 94.00.

Chart USD/JPY: Leaning lower13:10 GMT - Consolidation below 109.00 is giving way to fresh losses, as intraday studies track lower, with prices now approaching the 108.34 weekly low of 10 March. Falling daily stochastics and the bearish Tension Indicator highlight a deterioration in sentiment and potential for a later break towards 108.00. Beneath here is 107.50. Meanwhile, a close above 109.00 would turn sentiment Neutral, but a further close above the 109.50 Fibonacci retracement, if seen, would turn sentiment outright Positive once again and extend January gains.
USD/JPY: Turning away from the 109.50 Fibonacci retracement13:35 GMT - The break above 109.00 is meeting fresh selling interest just below the 109.50 Fibonacci retracement, whilst intraday studies track lower. Daily stochastics are also under pressure, unwinding negative divergence, and the positive Tension Indicator is flattening, highlighting increased downside risks in the coming sessions. Immediate support is at congestion around 108.50 and extends to the 108.34 weekly low of 10 March. A close beneath here would turn sentiment Negative, and extend losses below 108.00 towards 107.50. Meanwhile, a close above 109.50 is needed to turn sentiment outright Positive once again and extend January gains.

GBP/USD: Focus on the 1.3725 Fibonacci retracementAnticipated losses have reached the 1.3775 low of 12 February, where unwinding oversold intraday studies are prompting short covering and consolidation. However, daily stochastics and the Tension Indicator continue to track lower, highlighting further deterioration in sentiment and scope for further losses in the coming sessions. A later close below 1.3775 will open up the 1.3725 Fibonacci retracement, where fresh consolidation could unfold. Meanwhile, resistance remains at the 1.3925 intraday lows. Negative weekly charts should limit any unexpected break above here to 1.4000/26.

AUD/USD: Coming under pressure14:15 GMT - Anticipated losses have spiked below congestion around 0.7650, with unwinding oversold intraday studies prompting a bounce from the 0.7620 Fibonacci retracement. Short-term gains are possible, before negative daily stochastics and the falling Tension Indicator extend losses still further. A later break below 0.7620 will open up critical support at the 0.7564 current year low from 2 February. Meanwhile, resistance is at 0.7800 and should prove difficult to reach.

USD/JPY: Extending January gains in JPY-driven trade13:30 GMT - Still no change in the bullish tone, as daily stochastics and the Tension Indicator continue to track higher. The break above the 107.15 Fibonacci retracement has improved sentiment once again, with JPY-driven trade extending January gains towards congestion around 107.50. Broad weekly charts are positive, highlighting later clearance towards 108.00/20. Meanwhile, support is raised to congestion around 107.00 and extends to 106.66. A break beneath here, not seen, will add weight to sentiment and prompt a pullback towards congestion around 106.00, where improving background sentiment could prompt fresh buying interest.

GBP/USD: Short-term consolidation - risk of further lossesSupport is appearing at 1.3860, whilst oversold intraday studies unwind, with prices now pressuring 1.4000. Just higher is the 1.4026 high of 26 February, but the falling Tension Indicator is expected to limit any tests/break of here in fresh selling interest. In the coming sessions, consolidation is expected to give way to fresh losses, with a later break below 1.3860 opening up the the 1.3825 retracement. Meanwhile, a close above 1.4026, if seen, would delay downside tests and turn sentiment cautiously Positive as focus then turns to 1.4100.

AUD/USD: Limited scope above 0.780014:10 GMT - The anticipated run to 0.7800 has been seen. Intraday studies continue to point higher, suggesting scope for a break, but negative daily stochastics and the falling Tension Indicator should limit scope to 0.7855. Following corrective gains, expectations are for prices to come under fresh pressure, with a later break below 0.7700 targeting 0.7650. Deteriorating weekly charts highlight potential for further slippage towards critical support at the 0.7564 current year low from 2 February.
