Symmetrical Triangle

Forget about chart patterns! Hello, my dear friends and happy New Year! I wish you to be healthy and reach all your goals in trading and not only! Never give up on this difficult way which we are going to overcome together! Today we have a very important topic. How to use Elliott waves instead of classical chart patterns. This is the natural exposure why the chart patterns are garbage. I remember my third year at university when we have the trading lessons. Our teacher gave us a lot of useless knowledges about support, resistance and chart patterns. I have not understood why it should working and it was not soo intereting subject for me. That’s why I returned back to trading much later using self-education. Now I have the clear understanding why Elliott waves is the best tool and why it’s working. Most of traders even don’t understand that chart patterns is just the special case of Elliott waves. That’s why today I decided to explain you how you can change the first one to the second one. Let’s go! Double Top(Bottom) On the chart above I drew the different types of double tops. Generally we have 3 types of this pattern Double top with the second top higher than the first one. In this case we can interpret it in two ways. It could be the classical waves 3, 4, 5 and the corrective wave A at the ending stage. In this case we can anticipate waves B and C. Also it could be the irregular correcton ABC inside wave 4 (rarely in wave 2). In this case we should wait for the wave 5 after that. Traders usually execute short position on the neckline breakdown and suffer when the wave 5 smashed their stop-loss. They are wondering why double top does not working. Double top with the equal highs has the same possible outcomes. The only one difference that correction called flat instead of irregular. Double top with the second top lower than the first one. Here is the most common variant is the end of the ABC correction. In this case we have the low potential for shorting the market becuase the new impulsive wave to the upside can hit all stop losses. Head & Shoulders This is the easiest pattern for analysis. The right sholder usually is the wave 4, the head, obviously is the wave 5 and the right shoulder is the wave B. On the neckline breakdown we have the shorting potential only in the rest part of the wave C. You could correctly count waves and short that the bearish reversal bar of the wave 5 or, as a last resort, at wave B potential top. Shorting at the neckline has sence only if you are sure that the wave B was the the wave 1 of the impulsive wave to the downside if higher degree and now the market is in wave 3. We have to learn how to count waves in a correct way. I would recommend you to read the Trading Chaos book by Bill Williams because it has the best explanation how do waves work. Triangles and Wedges This part is common for all types of triangles (ascending, descending, symmetrical) and wedges (falling and rising). This patterns have the similar structure. If we faced with one of these patterns we have 4 possible scenarios. Triangle in the downtrend after the wave 3. In this case triangle is the wave 4, which is represented as the triangle correction. This correction type consists of 5 waves A, B, C, D and E. When the wave E is finished market will continue it’s move in the direction of a trend, printing the wave 5. The same, but in the uptrend. When the market showed us the 5 waves cycle to the upside and the correction is in progress. Triangle can appears in the wave B. In this case the price will continue the corrective move in the wave C after it’s finished. The same with the downtrend. Guys, of course there are much more types of chart patterns. For example, tripple tops and bottoms and so on. The purpose of this article is giving you another view of the market structure and to motivate you studying the Elliott waves theory. Believe me, it has much more potential than it seems on the first glimplse.

DXY will trigger a huge crash! Best to stay in cash. Everything indicates that the recession in 2023 is pretty much inevitable. And when the Fed pivots, a market crash is almost guaranteed. Nothing is for sure, but it's based on historical statistical data. The DXY index is currently sitting at the strongest support ever created. It's the rectangle line + wave (3) + wave 1. As per Elliott Wave rules, in an impulse wave, wave 1 cannot overlap wave 4. Only a small wick is permitted. I think this is the best place for a trend reversal and a strong dollar again. Let me know what you think about the recession and the strong DXY dollar in the comments! I want to know your opinion! As you can clearly see, this is the monthly chart, and the price is following this ascending parallel channel. Since 2008, we have been in an uptrend, and trend is your friend until the end. I think if DXY drops below 101, then it's over and this channel is going to break down. The dollar will be weak, and the bull market is imminent. But now there is no point in speculating on a weak dollar; why would you do that? I don't think it's a good idea to short the support and long the resistance. But the majority of traders do that, which is a paradox. This is my update on the DXY index. The dollar is still in a strong uptrend, and from a technical perspective, the uptrend is intact. But let's see if the big players still want a strong dollar. We will discover soon! Happy trading!

Symmetrical Triangle on AUD/CAD @ W1A long-term symmetrical triangle has formed following a downtrend on the AUD/CAD weekly chart. It can serve as a continuation pattern for a bearish breakout trading opportunity. My potential entry is placed at the cyan line, which is located at 10% of the triangle's base width below the lower border. My take-profit will be at the green line, which is located at 100% of the triangle's base width below the lower border. I will set my stop-loss to the triangle's topmost point (0.92534).

NKE - Could have bottomed?NKE tested bounced off a longer term horizontal support zone ($99 - $103) several times in the last 3 months and is now trading within a symmetrical wedge pattern. This could be both a continuation or reversal pattern depending on which side it broke out eventually. However, I suspect the eventual break will be more likely to the upside as the resistence turned support zone ($99-$103) has been holding up in the past few months, plus a bullish divergence can be seen in the monthly chart. Earnings expected on 29 Sep AMC. Guess we'll know by then where it is heading! Disclaimer: Just my 2 cents and not a trade advice. Kindly do your own due diligence and trade according to your own risk tolerance and don't forget that money management is important! Take care and Good Luck!

SHIB Symmetrical triangle (could break down) Chart for referenceHello all ⭐🌏 Here📉, we notice that Shib has been forming this symmetrical triangle 👌▶ structure for about 3 months now📆📌 I suspect bitcoin will retest the ~15k area soon, and this could mean a drop in many alts as well. There is news of BlockFi filing for bankruptcy 👀🐻 Bitcoin price action and overall market fear due to BlockFi bankruptcy along with FTX bankruptcy could create panic sells🆗 Bitcoin halving cycle is almost complete as per past results, so this could get interesting. I expect extreme volatility in the coming days, feel free to check updates on my most recent BITCOIN analysis for more information on BTC price action Possible bullish : 🐮⏬ As for now, this is SHIB last chance to climb above that support level once again Let's see... Bullish scenario is that we bounce of the bottom of this structure and possibly breakout This is not advice Thank you so much Always have a stop loss ✋🛑💲 set Any thoughts 💭💡, questions 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️❓, good 👍, bad👎, happy 😄 or sad 😥, in the comments always welcome Jazerbay 🐕

Bitcoin - The bears will crash BTC again! (Great opportunity) From November 21 to November 24, we had a pretty nice uptrend. It lasted only 3 days, and the structure of the uptrend is bearish. As per my Elliott Wave analysis, it was an ABC correction because I can see only 7 waves, which is a typical correction with an extended wave A. Bitcoin is the most bearish asset, and it's absolutely a pleasure to short Bitcoin or Ethereum! A new week started, and Bitcoin broke out of the symmetrical triangle pretty hard. October and November are extremely bullish months for Bitcoin, but this time we dumped, and Bitcoin continues in free fall. The right question is now: When will we reach 10,000? not if we reach 10,000. After we reach 10K, I think we will have a massive bounce back to 15K or so. Make sure to follow me so you do not miss important information on this expected bounce! If you want to trade bitcoin, the best strategy is "short only." So wait for pullbacks and shorts. I expect the ultimate bottom for Bitcoin to be between 6500 and 10300 USD. I am very happy to provide you with these analyses; stay strong!

Ethereum - 28% crash is almost ready! (descending triangle) On ETH, the current market structure is extremely bearish. We can spot a descending triangle projection on the 4h chart, so for now the probabilities are for it to go lower. I believe the market wants to wipe out all stop loss orders above the swing high at 1234 USD, which is also at the 0.618 FIB. This is a great level to open a short position on futures. I will short all pumps on ETH until we reach 882 USD, the previous swing low from June 18th, 2022. Ethereum is pretty weak compared to other altcoins, and I am not surprised at all. As per my Elliott Wave analysis, the A wave is a 3-wave corrective structure. The bears are strong, and they want to push the price lower. Crypto will continue in the biggest crash in history. ETH can reach 400 USD next year, and BTC can reach 10 000 USD next year. I am naturally bearish on this chart, because why not? What is bullish here, let me know in the comment section! This is a brief and clear update. I hope you like it! I am not falling for this mini uptrend on the 1h chart.
