Trapped

Why we should not be trapped in the current situation.Essential and robust reasons for a bullish move: 1-RATE CUTS are coming soon! Everyone knows it, but big players want you to be a SELLER! ( THEY BUY). 2. The COT date confirms this! (Commercials are BUYERS! While non-commercials (poor trapped traders) are sellers). 3. Many strong support lines, levels, and patterns push the price up. ( Head and shoulder, two strong trend lines). 4. New US statistics are now revealing the negative situation in the USA after all those strange and positive data during January. www.tradingster.com

NFLX holding on, but for how long?NASDAQ:NFLX had a run after finally finding a way to stop and monetize password sharing via an ad-based subscription. Now, where does it go from here? In this content war, where companies are jockeying for the best scripts and distribution rights, NFLX still has a leg up being the first one with legacy viewers. NYSE:DIS has the most content, but it still faces a challenge balancing the profit of that segment compared to NFLX. Bullish Case - The trendline is a little sharp, but it is still holding. The price is trapped against resistance but can retest 450 after breaking the 442.47 resistance. It looks like a scallop breakout, and this should stay on path. The worst-case scenario would be consolidation to gain support before the retest. Bearish Case - A double top is ready to break down, yet bulls are still holding onto this weak trendline in hope. When we break down from 411.91, we can test 400. There's no way to consolidate because the measured move provides a better risk-to-reward ratio. Conclusion - This is looking for support. It could find it, but the trendline is too far up. Playing it based on the breakout is the best way to trade here. Getting in early is a guessing game, let the chart be your guide. Bullish above - 442.47 Bearish below - 411.91

Gold long idea Based on the weekly market structure the following statements can be made: - Following the previous 3 week's trend, we are looking at a classic market maker dump&pump scheme. 1) price is dropping on Monday and thuesday. 2) On Wednesday price normally makes a fakeout to the downside, trapping breakout traders 3) Market makers pump prices to the opposite direction on thuesday, collecting the liquidity from the trend. We have 5 confluences for bullish price action: 1) Price touched a 4h orderblock 2) Price broke below a previous low, creating a discounted price on Wednesday. 3) price created a triple wick rejection with bullish engulfing candle on the 1h chart 4) We have trapped volume from wednesday's New York session 5) selloffs are bought back instantly (seen on the 5m chart) Trade wisely, Peter

AUD/NZD Uptrend setting up possibly. My prediction is that price will reverse upward from these lower levels. I've added an element in my algo to detect where price doesn't go in a given day. From backtesting and spending hours analyzing across multiple pairs, I can confidently say that price usually fulfills a set range before extending to lower or higher price levels. When it doesn't fulfill those prices especially over an extended period of time, there is a strong reaction when it comes back later. Especially much much later. I believe that I'm seeing that setting up here. If price doesn't come down and continues up instead, that's fine. I'm only comfortable buying when that level gets hit. It's definitely a setup I'd take even if I may be wrong. FX:AUDNZD

USD/CHF Possible PeakWe are are pushing up into new yearly highs. Price has nibbled through a few times from what it looks like from the three push pattern. It was good for a 150 pip drop. Sellers who took their profits are good. What about the sellers who anticipated a further drop and held on? They are in serious heat right now and trailing/break even stops have been hit. Now we have another pattern presenting a selloff even though we are witnessing previous sellers taking heat. These sellers will get let out. But not soon. Damage have to be done first. It could take days or weeks. Very rarely we screw up that bad to be right back into profit the next day or two. Also we still have sellers from end of day pop ups who haven't taken much heat. They guys will be targeted in the coming days. Then breakout buyers will be rewarded and taken sideways again. FX:USDCHF

Possible bottom for NZD/USDThis is a similar setup to GBP/USD. I wouldn't expect a deep dig underneath the buyzone.Maybe accumulation and a stops hit below it before reversing. When I'm calling tops and bottoms, that don't mean that price will trend up or down for eternity from there. These are setups I'm confident with to add size into or have a wider stop. I don't know what the market will do but from backtesting, when these levels are generated, there is usually a reversal that follows.Sometimes it's insntantly, sometimes it's over the course of days.I wouldn't enter trades on them especially the first 1-3 levels.

Short BTC! Longs just got trappedWe're currently well above the VAH (blue dotted line). BTC has failed multiple times to break through the top of the horizontal channel. These are signs of weakness. What's more, on the above image, you can see a wick above the channel on high volume, which means a lot of longs have opened at the top. Right after, we see a rejection on high volume. This means all the longs that have just opened are now trapped. If price reverts to their entry level, they are likely to close their long, adding selling pressure. That is IF they get that chance... The other scenario is that price does not revert to their entry level, but instead moves down further. In that case they'll get liquidated, also adding massive selling pressure. I'm targeting lower levels. Always use multiple TPs and move SL to entry once TP1 is hit.

How "Smart Money" Uses Your EmotionsWhen trading most of us entry our trades TOO EARLY. Ofcouse we don't want to miss the opportunity to make money. This is one of us basic fear and its called "fear of missing out" Everybody knows this fear but we still feel it. And it is not just trading. You feel it when your friends go out and they did not invite so you feel miserable and left out. So its natural and I struggle with it myself everyday too. The thing you gotta understand is that the "SMART MONEY TRYES TO TRAP YOUR TRADES" using your fear of "fear of missing out". For example you can see in the chart the circles that I marked when doing my backtest. See Theres normally some type of keylevel like support zone that the price touches. Everyone is expecting that the price is going to bouce after touching the support zone which it does. But before that the price breaks the support zone slighly and traps everyone to get more liquity to the trade. They dont do that to just bully you they do it because they need more contracts to buy and if peapol think its a bear breakout theres a lot contracts for good price to buy. They just try to hedge they position and get the best Risk Reward ratio. You know that feeling when the trade feels perfect and the you get wicked out. I know bro it hurts. So how can we avoid these LIQUITY TRAPS? The Markets always tests your patinece in situations like this. But i get that you cant be just patient to make money in the markets because if you have too much confirmation your probably late and if you have too little confirmation your probably in a risky situation. Everyone struggles with this and theres no one right answer. But what i can suggest you to do is wait for the VOLUME GRAB and then entry your trades. Then theres bigger chance to a winnig trade and it will be easier to trade when i dosen't give you mixed signals. When Trading 1) Be patient 2) Wait for the volume crab 3) Get the confirmation that your strategy needs Im trying to build a trading strategy to this specific relying on these "Smart Money Traps". So Follow if you wanna see the future UPDATES!

What You Could Have Expected From Zoom's Earning Report?It can be tough sometimes to play ER, but I commend those who have the nerves to consistently play ER's. We know prices can go either way when dealing with earnings. A company can beat on ER and gap down, a company can miss on earnings & gap up. Sometimes it feels like playing the lottery with ER plays. There are some things you can notate before you play an earnings report. Like how has the asset been performing leading into earnings? Has it been bullish? Has it been bearish? What's the overall sentiment surrounding the asset? How has the asset been performing against the market? What is the market doing? Does the overall market seem bearish or bullish. Does the particular asset move with or against the market? Don't just assume what the asset will do regardless of what the chatter is. Leading into it's' ER, Zoom has been in a continued downtrend like a plethora of other stocks. Seeing this, along with price action leading into ER. I could expect for Zoom to pop after hours, Why? One reason is that it has been in a steady decline. There were "trapped bulls" at the 107 area & price made a double bottom from the May 20th trading session into the May 23rd trading session around $85. Seeing that, along with price being in a steady decline & the chatter of a earnings beat. You could have went long with 95-107 calls with a SL at 85(even though SL's are no good post-market). Nevertheless, Zoom pushed to 107 after hours before fading. Again, ER plays are tough, but there is a method to the madness as well. If you played Zoom's ER, I hope you were on the right side of it. Catch yall on the next post.....Peaaaacccceeeee!!!!

whales manipulating bitcoin to the down side being sneakywhales manipulating bitcoin to the down side being sneaky Heres how they are doing it: They are buying bitcoin, etheum, etc in very small increments so trades are not noticed and retail can capitalized on it by selling into spikes. Then they keep acculating until they see retail coming in to buy when fomo comes in As soon as the algos determine they have enough retail suckers trapped the dump all there buys all in one shot causing retail to panic sell at a loss causing prices to plummet. Then they buy the dip and slowly accumulate and start all over again all while maintaing lower prices as they go to not allow long term holders to regain there losses. if retail tries to catch up they will eventually run out of money or sell at a loss. Brilliant. What to do? Dont short term long trade. Its a waste of money and time since retail dont have market manupulation money like whales have. Only thing to do is buy on dips by dca and hold until bull cycle returns in 3-4 years. And hope fed starts printing money before then to keep cycle going. Lets see what happens.
