BTCUSDT batwing pattern still possibleHey everyone,
Quick update on today's chart.
Let's start with the daily HA chart
The descending pattern is still active, rejection at the $28,800 level, the current candle is still looking strong and much like the previous one. No sign of reversal on this chart, however let's zoom in and see what we find.
The 4 hour chart gives us more detail on what is happening right now
I prefer using HA on this chart too because it allows us to see better when a trend can reverse, it doesn't give us the strength however. We have now seen 1 closed doji candle , that's a good sign and it is positioned in the highlighted entry zone, that could be a very good entry, however we are missing some key ingredients.
Continuing the idea on the current chart(normal candles this time) . Even though we have a glimpse of hope due to the doji formed on the 4h HA chart, the elements we are waiting for in order to enter a long are:
- Price should go over the 200MA on the 4h chart (4h close)
- EMA ribbon should constrict
- In our case the Sublime Waves should display a higher low that would allow us to draw a trendline
Scenarios:
With the way the price is positioned right now a (good)setup at this exact time is very difficult, even if we target lower timeframes , finding the safety exit is very difficult in both directions.
On the upside we have the $34300 area that coincides with :
- Legendary trendline (just above)
- VPVR point of confluence
- Lower part of the previous channel
- Local resistance
On the downside we have the $26200 area that coincides with
- Local support
- Projected drop from the previous high
Not much much compared to the upside if you come to think of it.
I do not exclude a test of the $25000 legendary trendline, however if this happens it will be a fast and violent wick , then returning to safety.
There is also a good possibility that we will range throughout the weekend between the two SR levels the price is stuck into now
What to do now?
Shorting in a still bullish market or a young bear market is very risky, extra precautions must be taken, this are the times accounts are lost due to lack of preparation .
My recommendation :
Trades with SL's on high timeframes (1h,4h) should be avoided for now.
If you really want to trade you can scalp, use small precise position that you only increase when in profit.
Traders
AMD has underperformed peers but not for much longerAMD seems to be the contrarian play in the semiconductor field right now so I'm going to go ahead and suggest starting a position at these levels around $90 a share. It has been outperformed by its peers to a great degree recently for no apparent reason. I assume profit-taking attributed to taking it down from nearly $100 a share.
Buy under $93.
Sell half at $110.
It will retest the $100 level, breakthrough, and hit resistance at about the $110 level from profit takers. Slight chance it has more legs than that but I'd say $110 is a fair price target for this stock.
The SMH is up 11% in the last month and a half and AMD is down nearly a percent. Easy 10% return on this trade if not 20% if it hits my estimated price target.
DXY H4 - SetupDXY H4
We have dipped just below the marked S/R zone for the neckline/support retest, however 90.200 is the previous higher low support, so as long as this holds, I feel we should be okay to recover (USD strength).
This would then tie in nicely with what we have marked on GBPUSD shorts.
EURUSD (weekly) : At the point of potential inflectionEURUSD is hitting some weekly order blocks and is at a potential inflection point. It could go higher searching for liquidity, or could turn down from here.
Interesting point to note, US Dollar / DXY is also at an important (& opposite) inflection point. So is GBPUSD.

GBPUSD (W) is approaching some very potent bearish orderblocksGBPUSD is nearing some very potent bearish order blocks on the weekly chart, which can cause price to bounce back (at least temporarily).
Also, the price delivery while going up is very clean and has no apparent open bullish order block. So if it falls, there's nothing to support it.
Also, DXY and EURUSD are at their support & resistance (respectively). So this all seems in sync.
Please keep in mind, these are weekly zones - not to be used directly for trading. Instead, use them to keep a watch on price on your smaller timeframes.
Expected direction : Up (till it reaches bearish order blocks) and then Down
DXY (Dollar Index) Some areas of potential reactionHere are some areas on DXY / Dollar Index / DX1! which are potential areas that could trigger a reaction.
Remember, don't trade these zones by themselves - but use a lower timeframe, like Daily or 4H to find the trading opportunities.
These zones on the weekly chart are a reference to what are some primed areas based on the history played out!
DXY (Dollar Index) Long term movement prediction for 2021DXY / DX1! / FX:USDOLLAR / Dollar Index is searching for liquidity, bouncing up and down in the process.
This is my long term prediction on how it could move - given no major economic shifts.
Option 1
DXY breaks below the Q1 2018 lows, collects liquidity
It then runs up to fill in the fair value gap from Q3 2020
It then falls down and get rejected from Q3 2014 lows as those trapped shorts exit - creating a rally
It then falls down again below Q3 2014 lows to collect liquidity
Heads back up again in search of liquidity
Option 2
DXY creates a short term low just before Q1 2018 liquidity run, so that it can trap even more traders
It then runs up to fill in the fair value gap from Q3 2020
It then falls down, collects the liquidity below Q1 2018 lows
Get rejected from Q3 2014 lows as those trapped shorts exit - creating a rally
It then falls down again below Q3 2014 lows to collect liquidity
Heads back up again in search of liquidity
My trading strategies : Trade against the trapped trader!STRAT 11 : Basic premise
As price continues in a trend, more and more traders keep piling into the same direction, hoping that the trend will continue and they will make money. However, at some point, the trend sharply reverses, breaking the market structure in opposite direction and trapping a whole bunch of retail traders in the direction of trend which just got reversed.
We create a zone which identifies these trapped traders and then patiently wait for them to exit, and trade with limit orders in the direction of their exit.
You can add additional confirmation signals from DXY's directions for the instruments which are highly correlated to DXY (EURUSD, USDCHF, etc)

GC1! (GOLD / XAUUSD) : Traders trapped on a daily chart?Who's bullish on Gold / GC1! / XAUUSD ?
I've highlighted zones in green which represent a high probability of trapped traders. These are daily zones - so would need further drilling to create trade zones.
If price will bounce, there's a high likelihood of it bouncing from these zones!
