Seasonality

CME close as minor S/R levels.Not a great deal of excitement to be had from bitcoin lately. However here's a recurring pattern i have been observing lately since we've been stuck in so many tight ranges. Quite simply the horizontal lines here correspond to recent CME weekly close prices. The whole gap filling thing is well known so i won't go into that but what is more interesting is how many times these lines have provided minor supports and resistances when viewed in shorter time frames. Last week's close level has provided us 6 small bounces since tuesday, perhaps more if we zoom into even lower timeframes from last weekend. This is not an isolated case either. Obviously this is mainly of interest for scalping while the market is so tightly bound but it's useful to note that some like the 18th and 25th Nov closes lower down have also given us so larger bounces. To clarify the price i'm using is the actual weekly close from the CME futures regardless of any divergence it has from the spot price at that same time. Initially i was just looking at them for gap fill targets but it seems they continue to be useful even after that. Worth taking the time to explore this while the market is sideways. I expect this idea will become obsolete whenever btc starts to show signs of a trending direction, either up or down. Of course, we may be waiting some for that to happen.

Crude Oil Daily Chart Seasonal Swing LongChart 1: Looking at the seasonal performance of oil longs taken around this time of year for the previous 2 years, it can be extrapolated that this last week of January coming up is a good time to go long for a swing trade. It can also be observed that there was a W-bottom this time last year and that we’ve just completed a similar W-bottom pattern. The green channel which reflects the general trend pre-Ukraine war in conjunction with the previous year’s worth of price action transposed to the present time suggests a price target of $95 around mid-February. The biggest obstacles will be the red downtrend channel around $87 and the high pivot from October 2021 at 85.41 which together serve as formidable resistance. Chart 2: Chart number two which is below shows that we’ve broken out of a downtrend channel which goes back further than the downtrend channel in chart number one. It also shows that we’ve rejected the Q1 pivot range in the same manner in which we rejected it around this time last year. This is also similar to how we rejected the Q3 pivot range before heading down although of course that was more volatile. These pivot ranges are defined by Mark B. Fisher as the pivot range calculated from the high, low, and close of the first 2 weeks of the year. The suggested entry of 81.64, stop of 79.64, and target of 95 are shown using the long position tool. The entry is last week’s close and the stop is .33% below Thursday’s candle which rejected the pivot range. The .33% stop was calculated as the 5-day ATR multiplied by ten, divided by the close as per my standard protocol. In Summary: Target: $95 Entry: $81.64 Stop: $79.64 R/R: 6.68 Here’s a snapshot of Chart 1 before being rearranged by the publishing process:

DID YOU INVEST IN XRP?If your answer is "Yes". Congrats to you, by next uptrending between Altcoins vs Bitcoin, your money will be doubled. HOW?! In short. Let's say, you bought $1k of XRP at 30 cents ( 1000 / 0.3 = 3333.33 XRP ). After next halving of Bitcoin on May 2020, Bitcoin will reach $15k at least and the reward of miners will be decreased to 6.25 Bitcoins. This will reverse the game from the downtrend of Altcoins vs Bitcoin to the uptrend of Altcoins vs Bitcoin with double increase in value of USD. I'm not saying "Hype" but every Altcoin will try to be survived after the halving of Bitcoin and that's normal to keep the main investors in safe side. So, if you does sell your XRP / BTC or / USD at that time, you will get double profit $2k or 6666.66 XRP. If your answer is "No". You can set buy orders like what I did in GOOD TIME TO BUY BITCOIN! NEXT UPTREND WILL BE 60 CENTS FOR XRP. DECIDE AND TRY TO MANAGE YOUR WALLET WITHOUT LOSING. HAPPY TRADING ;)

GOOD TIME TO BUY BITCOIN!It's always a good time to buy bitcoin, if you're really a long-term investor. Bitcoin is a first generation of blockchain technology and the godfather of crypto market. You shouldn't be worry, if you bought some of bitcoin above $9k, because you have two scenarios for getting a good profit. First scenario is next halving will happen on May 2020, so you might see some action in price above $15k at least. Second scenario don't sell bitcoin after halving directly, buy some of trusted altcoins which will be in downtrend vs bitcoin at that time. If you didn't buy above $9k and waiting to buy in cheap prices, I recommend to set buy orders one by one to $3.5k. Let's say, you have $5k. You can set buy orders ( $500 at $8,401 ), ( $500 at $7,899 ), ( $500 at $7,301 ), ( $500 at $6,799 ), ( $500 at $6,201 ), ( $500 at $5,699 ), ( $500 at $5,101 ), ( $500 at $4,599 ), ( $500 at $4,001 ) and ( $500 at $3,499 ). ACCORDING TO DAILY TREND, WE SHOULD CROSS UP $10,500 TO SEE $12K & $15K LEVELS. IF WE DOES BREAK DOWN $7,350 LEVEL, WE WILL SEE $6K & $4K LEVELS AGAIN. PICK UP YOUR SCENARIO AND TRY TO MANAGE YOUR WALLET WITHOUT LOSING. HAPPY TRADING ;)
