RATE
Bitcoin S-curve with Mining History + Qualitative Hasing RateSome assumptions first:
Bitcoin follows an S-curve typical of many growing technologies (and sometimes even stocks/indices): Adoption chart
The exact gradients / inflexion points of the S-curve shown here is illustrative, as we cannot know its future development.
The hashing rate shown here (brown line) is completely illustrative and represents only the changing trend (which has been increasing or constant since 2010).
S-curves (which appear as exponential curves in linear charts) indicate a viral exchange of information which is typical of technology adoption and hype (this is where stocks/indices come in etc)
In the case of Bitcoin, although the rate of production is supposed to be constant (hence difficulty adjustment) and therefore cannot affect the price, there is a clear relationship between price development and the development of network hashing rate. The hashing rate develops with the evolution of the mining sector from 2010 hobbyist to 2018 industrialist.
The next big boom in Bitcoin will take place in conjunction with the next revolution in mining. There are some 4 million Bitcoins still left to mine. The next halving (block reward reduction to 6.25 BTC/block) is probable in summer 2020. But the halving is not necessary in order to start a new growth phase . In fact the previous two halvings occurred half-way through the growth cycle.

AUDUSD buy trade succesful, next: rate decisionHi guy's, in this week's video I mentioned the continuation higher in AUDUSD to fulfill at least the minimum requirements. This has been done and our original buy's have been succesful. Next the rate decision is on the agenda.
In my video I also explained the difference between a continuation and an extension. The daily time frame does not show one unique wave to be over. This means; 'IF price moves lower as a result of the rate decision it is an extension lower on daily time frame and not a continuation'.
Safe trades!
(4h) Short-Term Sell & Long-Term BuyAfter analyzing the bigger timeframe perspective of the GBPUSD, it seems that the market cycle for this pair is heading for a bullish trend . The Fed Interest Rate decision will determine the continuation of this trend, although it's more than likely that the Fed will maintain the current Interest Rate value until December 13th.
Utilizing the Fibonacci Retracement Levels, we can expect a downward correction in the following days, followed by a long-term continuation of the original bullish impulse.
So, for Scalpers , it's recommended to put a Sell order after the Fed decision as the price will move towards 0.5 level, possibly reaching the 0.618. Nevertheless, I'd say it's a good idea to place a Buy order once it bounces back, from these same levels, for the longer pip ride.
EURUSD Small Term Upwards Correction (First Published Idea!)If correct, we should expect a slight bullish correction. However, Fed Rate Interest decision will define if we'll have a bearish or bullish trend over the next months.
I'm adopting the Elliot Wave Theory for these initial series of ideas, mixing eventually with future Fibonacci retracements that will indicate the entry point of each trade.
NZDUSD - Bearish Bias Going Into RBNZ Rate StatementThe focus for this week will definitely be on the New Zealand Dollar (NZD), a.k.a the Kiwi.
The New Zealand’s central bank – the Reverse Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) will be releasing their latest Official Cash Rate and the Rate Statement this Thursday. Since the interest rate is expected to remain unchanged at 1.75%, the key will be the tone of the Rate Statement.
A dovish tone will see more selling pressure on the NZD; while a hawkish tone will see the NZD being support by the bulls.
Based on our analysis, we are holding a bearish bias on the NZD.
Since late July this year, the NZDUSD has fallen from the high at 0.7557 to the low at 0.7131 in a 5-wave structure; and has since bounced higher towards the recent high at 0.7434 in a 3-wave structure.
According to Elliott Wave Principle, a complete price cycle comprises a 5-wave move, followed by a 3-wave correction.
With that, the correction in NZDUSD is deemed to be completed, and we are now expecting more downside potential for this currency pair.
Long GBPAUD - Anticipating No Surprise to MPC VoteSo generally the MPC vote is expected to be Neutral and if we look through a bit, if it does comes out 7 Hold to 2 Hike as expected, GBP should be weaken.
Now my intention is to look for clue if the market has already priced this in: on average, up to this point GBP is down with the most down being GBPAUD. Let's say the trend continues to in the next hour, my conclusion is the market has priced in the base case expectation. What I will do is to Enter Long GBPAUD as I bet if the outcome is Neutral GBP will rebound. The scenario where I will lose money will be not all of the results came out as expected i.e. one of those data point is even more bearish (increase in amount of APF, more than 0 dovish vote).
Technical level: it is hovering around 1.6476 - 1.65, I will make Entry with Stop-loss below these, TP is around 1.6574 - 1.66
DXY Bullish thesisA potential trade idea however due to FED rate hike potential we will sit this one out likely as volatility may be just to great and the risk is higher on this one, however this is a good one to watch and keep an eye on for June 14th 2017 US Session.

AUDNZD Elliott Forecast & Flag Breakout TradeAt the moment, in the big picture we are forming an ABC zigzag correction pattern which will take us into the 1.07408 area in which price will continue upwards. For now we can short down to this level by taking flag breakouts in favor of the downside. We have just closed below an ascending triangle on the lower timeframes and this has lead me to go short taking conservative targets @1.08240.
I may, however, trail stops with structure if the AUD interest rate decision causes more bears to step in.
USDJPY Inverted Cup and Handle Again? March 20-24 Trading PlanFX:USDJPY broke the 50DMA once again and looking bearish in my opinion. The breakdown and downtrend is also supported by the moving averages on the hourly timeframes.
Don't have any big positions as I expected it to retest the 114 breakdown level but it didn't happen
4H Timeframe View:
FX:USDJPY tried to break the 200MA but it failed and continued its downtrend breaking the 113 support
1H Timeframe View:
Looks like its consolidating after the 113 breakdown but I wouldn't discount a possible pullback to retest the 113 level and it would be a great short level if the downtrend continues.
Preferred Entry: 112.9-113
Stop: 113.3
Profit: 111.6
But there is also a possibility that it would stay on this level until it once again breaks down. If that was the case then we can simply wait for either the 20MA(red line) or the 50MA(yellow line) on the 1H timeframe to reach the price and short it at the level if it doesnt break above it.
If the 111.6 profit target is reached, we can take partial profits or move stops to profit as its possible FX:USDJPY will bounce on this area as it has done multiple times in the past or finally break that daily support
Any feedbacks are appreciated!
