Bullish on AMC stockBears have dramatically discounted this already over-discounted stock... Honestly I'd definitely look to buy anything below $4.60 (if you can!). I don't see these prices lasting long.
As with any stock that is bottoming, don't go all in thinking it's at a bottom and then panic sell because it drops (or goes up) 10 or 20 cents. That is exactly what caused this to keep dropping in the first place! You want to see a bottom form and a fast (or steady) move upward. Then wait for the dip and start buying at the support level or just above/below.
Squeeze
EUR/CHF - LongWe are starting to see a very clear and obvious squeeze as we retested previous lows on the Daily. The lower time frames show an even clearer pattern for the upside push.
I will be looking to take a risk entry on this falling wedge, expecting a breakout!
One of my favourite trades for the week ahead!
BTC Giant bull trapTo me 3 things are obvious:
1. The latest BTC spike is abnormal. It occurred for no apparent reason and coincided with bitfinex maintenance.
2. The spike came at a time when bulls are losing steam and someone could argue that it looks like a BIG FLASHING NEON SIGN urging them to re-enter the race.
3. Nothing defies nature's laws, and what goes up will come down.
Conclusion:
"What you don't know, won't hurt you, it'll kill you. Like if they tell you you're going to shower but they turn out not to be showers."
and since it seems that I do not know a lot about the recent events I decide to stay out of the market until things start to make any sense.
Trade Journal: Long SHAK - 2/6/2020I love this Cup & Handle pattern going on in SHAK. There is a clear level of resistance at around 71.50s and a possible gap fill all the way to 80.00. There are some nice accumulation patterns at this bottom and SHAK is looking strong. 18% short interest on finviz so potential short squeeze up here. Shorts will probably have stop losses in the 73 area.
Entry - 71.76
Stop loss - 70.10
Target - 80.00
Potential Relief Rally to $8-9 upcoming? Price action in the MJ Sector are known for their extremely quick movements and the euphoria is short lived as retail traders take their profits. A quick and massive short squeeze plus hype from overall market sentiment is what it will take for this movement (Since much of the traders of ACB are retail traders). Historically it has done exactly just that.
Waiting to see if the next 2W candle (Ending January 31, 2020) creates a higher high above $3.02 and closes above $2.92 with strong volume. A close above 2.92 will form a bullish hammer on ACB's monthly chart, further solidifying this trend change.
Note: Historical price action between $4-5 moves quickly as there is little support/resistance developed in this zone. Strong buying pressure that lasts until $4 will leave many shorts who entered from mid November to now in the red, which may potentially cause a short squeeze into the neckline of the monthly Head and Shoulders (Around $6). A short squeeze that causes an artificial increase in price will further drive in retail investors to buy more from this hype, and perhaps lead to another short lived Bull Market as we have seen occurred thrice before.
ADXS Long of Lifetime or OMG why did I buy that? Monthly chartMethod:
Bollinger Band/Keltner Channel squeeze happens when upper & lower KC enter into BB. Use RSI and Momentum to help determine price direction. Works great on daily charts when squeeze happens with increasing RSI and Mom (ideally above 0). However, the longer the stock is in the "squeeze", it develops a base in that price zone. Longer base means stronger base.
ADXS price has consolidated to an extreme which caused the BB to form a tight, narrow band. Price seems to have found a bottom and formed a very strong base. RSI and Mom are slowly increasing and volume consistently above normal.
Recent positive news from FDA and funding. FDA news was already priced in so smart money sold making a wonderful profit ( 2 institutions doing reg direct offering? ) Direct offering of 10 million at $1.05 likely provide a short term bottom and subsequent warrants 5 million at $1.25. Important to note that they come due 6 months after direct offering issued which should be 01/23/20.
It would be wise to prepare for this stock to trade in a wild range. I am mentally preparing for a drop to $0.81 because this stock has the makings of a life changing trade. MM's won't make it an easy ride!
This is my personal opinion and not intended as financial advise. Please do your own research and never risk more than you can loose (make sure you can sleep at night).
Best of luck traders
TLRD - 67% of float is shortWith 67% of the float short and a borrow rate of over 6%, shorts won't stick around forever during this sideways move. Everyday they wait to cover eats away at their profits.
Unfortunately, the drop was impressive!
Be on the lookout for a couple squeezes.
The Long Squeeze isn't coming!!!Mr. Pips is starting to think that we might actually be gearing up for a huge pump! When shorts are at ATH's, there is usually a short squeeze. When Longs are stacked and the price is not reflecting the amount of Longs, there is almost never a squeeze(historically speaking). Instead, The Longs tend to sell off as the price pumps and positions are closed to take profit. Mr. Pips is actually about 80% leaning towards the price spiking up. Most traders by now have become aware of the huge number of longs and are expecting there to be a squeeze. This is the exact situation institutional money loves to exploit. I could see a flash dump happening to entice some more shorts before BTC runs up. Either way, Something BIG is on the horizon. Stay alert my friends.
Mr. Pips wants you to have a blessed and Profitable day!

BITCOIN CONSOLIDATION PATTERN | MULTI-MONTH PRICE FORECASTI believe Bitcoin will not follow the price action from the previous cycle and instead carry out a consolidation, bullish pennant, equilibrium formation.
Price in equilibrium pattern as it gets squeezed over the coming months
RSI projection is heavily bearish
200WMA forecasted to intercept upwards sloping trend line for potential pivot point
Monthly MACD cross over, heavily bearish forecast for the coming months.
Conclusion: Bullish momentum halted for the short and medium term. Price to consolidate & volatility to weaken over the coming month(s). Price to swing and pivot between trend lines and squeeze before breaking out to the upside.
SEELEBTC Short SqueezeHello TW community,
This is my take on SEELEBTC. A short squeeze pattern with accelerating trend, and a hint on where to take profits.
Hope you enjoy and get something out of it.
My ideas are for entertainment purpose only and should not be taken as financial advice.
Best of luck,
Opportunity for BTC to show direction after BB SqueezeIt seems that right now we find ourselves in a BB Squeeze. This means that soon we will find out the direction of the next big move. People tend to be reserved right now and want to see confirmation of a move. I am going to exploit this using a good Risk Reward ratio and enter a long.
The sell is located at the old stable price, forming a logical resistance level. The stop loss should be slightly under the weak support that has been formed given the few weeks that were stopped there.
HOW-TO GRID TRADE (Tutorial #1) Trade While You SleepHOW-TO GRID TRADE:
HIGH PROFITS - LOW RISKS - TONS OF FUN.
Trade While You Sleep
Let’s be honest, trading is risky, especially trading crypto. We all know it’s just matter of figuring out if market prices are going up or going down, but isn’t it funny how the market seems determined to go in the exact opposite way you pick? Especially when you have money on the line!
It’s great that markets trend 30% of the time, we attempt to catch the wave (up or down) and cash in when we’ve called it right. But the often overlooked reality is, markets go sideways, they consolidate, they squeeze, they get stuck in ranges over 70% of the time. Just when you thought you were catching a trend (to the moon!) , now you’re stuck waiting for the market to do something. It zigs a little, it zags a little, smaller moves, up, down, but nothing too exciting, right?
If we only could get paid for watching charts wiggle in a range, not having to predict whether things are going up or down… THAT’S what would make you smile . Agreed? Especially if you could automate this “wiggle for profits” idea and reduce your risks to a bare minimum. THAT’S what this article is about. Grid Trading, or how to wiggle your way to high profits without losing your shirt.
Let’s learn and have some fun!
GRID TRADING STRATEGY
Trading bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies with an automated solution has become a very popular plan-of-action because it guarantees 24/7 trading activity. It reduces our addiction to chart watching and lets us eat, sleep and be merry. It allows you to exploit trading opportunities around the clock, manage your risks without emotions and follow a predefined trading pattern that often beats the ROI (Return on Investment) you're getting from other hands-on trading strategies.
While all this is true, it was another factor that brought me to Grid Trading initially. It was the fact that even though I loved to get in the trenches and trade chart patterns, indicator signals and often unsubstantiated “hunches,” I found that the capital I was NOT actively trading was just sitting there, doing nothing. The bulk of my capital was sitting in USD, or USDT or BTC . Because I risk manage and rarely enter a trade with more than 5% of my total available money (per trade) , more often than not… 50% to 80% of my investment capital was NOT realizing any return at all.
THE LIGHT GOES ON
One day, after testing a little known, little used strategy of trading within a pre-established GRID range where every tick-up and every tick-down had the probability of making me money, the light switch within my head went on. Why not take my some of my “reserve” capital, place in a Grid, automate the process, and let it earn a little “side-money” while I continued my regular trading activities?
As this “side-money” project took off. I started noticing that it would many times make more of a ROI than my regular trading. I’d look at my Grid results and often see 2%, 3%, 8% over a 2 or 3 day period - these were serious returns, with far less the risk. Annualized I was looking at gains of 300%, 500% even 1000%+ if I just focused on Grids. uh, HELLO!
Truth be told, Grid Trading is not a panacea of all wins and no losses. It’s also essential to know that a grid trading strategy does not guarantee a stable income in all market conditions. If you want to successfully utilize a grid crypto trading strategy (like I can teach you) , you must understand the fundamentals of trading, the current market phase, how to find grid trade opportunities, how to set-up grids for maximum gains and how to manage the risks.
HERE’S THE GOOD NEWS
Grid Trading is no harder than what you’re already doing and in fact, the learning curve is far less challenging. Most people can have their first grid up and running within a day or two. You can do grid trading while you continue your other trading pursuits (as it requires little time or effort). If done right, your odds of making money are much better than almost any other trading strategy you explore.
LET’S START WITH A CRAZY LOOKING TRADINGVIEW CHART
GRID BOT EXAMPLE
THE PATH TO PROFIT IS NOT A STRAIGHT ONE...
You’re looking at (in the chart illustration) is a 23 HOUR period (15 min. chart) with a grid range of 5.48% (bottom to top) . Had you been lucky enough to have bought at the bottom and sold at the top (just a regular trade) , you have pocketed roughly 5.48% on a single trade. However, with an automated GRID trade strategy, every zig down BUYS and every zag up SELLS all in incremental and equal portions of your capital. So the more zigs and zags you have, the better! Just as an example, you can turn a 5% gain into 8% if the path zigs and zags along its way.
Keep in mind that in this example, we are only trading LONG, yet we profit from the up and down price action as prices cross each grid line triggering a buy or a sell. Once any transaction is complete, the automation resets a new grid line to replace the previous one that was hit. And so it goes, cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-ching!
UP? DOWN? WHO CARES!
Grid trading is a type of strategy generating earnings from the market movements in a specific price range. It loses its power in a strong trading market (for example when pump or dump happens. The grid trading technique explores to its benefit natural price volatility within a defined range. It does this by opening buy and sell orders regularly at fixed intervals above and below a market price.
The advantage of grid trading is that it requires little forecasting of market direction (though you are best to seek out sideways or upward ranging market periods). In addition, it is easy to automate this strategy and run it continuously. The biggest drawback is if there’s a sudden price drop without retracement outside your pre-defined grid range. This drawback is best managed by adhering to good stoploss placement and smart observance of support structure and trend tendencies when setting your grid parameters in the beginning.
