QQQ TRENDS AND PRICE TARGETS, HOW MANY Q's SHOULD ONE HAVE?Technicals
RSI is overextending, however, a little cool down would reset the indicators and trigger buy signals across the board.
Bears should be looking for an entry, but not entering yet. Plan out a trade.
Bulls should be locking in profits and looking to buy the dip.
There are two super short term trends that are taking the price up. They are both rejection trends, which are trending in the bullish direction, in other words, price is going up following those trends.
There is a huge rejection trend labeled.
There is a mega support trend labeled.
There is a strong support trend labeled, which should likely trigger a buy signal should it fall to that support or possibly dip under for a brief period of time.
Above 480 starts to increase risk.
it can go higher to 500, and then possibly even to 600.
500 is way more likely than 600 on this run.
short term, again, could use a cool down to like 393.
I would suggest to wait for this cool down to enter expecting bullish movement. With price falling to multiple strong support lines, it is a favorable trade.
Price can keep going up. Don't expect it to go down. But understand, if it does, you'll be prepared for that movement, and have a trade with a high potential of profit.
If you miss out on a run because you were caution, simply wait for a rejection point and jump in short. Ride the wave down, then enter your long position. In other words, don't chase the movement, let the movement come to you, let it move past you, then ride the movement in your desired direction.
Linking my other QQQ posts and SPY posts
I usually don't TA these because I tend to trade the 3x leveraged (FNGU FNGD is one of my favorites), and I tend to get predictions wrong on these two. Will link some old ones talking about spy to 480 in the election year. MY MISTAKE was I thought the election year was 2023, so it was way off.
PLATINUM, WHAT IS IT AND WHY THE HECK WOULD I WANT THIS METALWhat is Platinum?
Platinum is a chemical element with the symbol Pt and atomic number 78. It belongs to the noble metals group, which also includes palladium, rhodium, iridium, osmium, and ruthenium. Platinum is characterized by its high density, malleability, ductility, and resistance to corrosion. These unique properties make it an invaluable material for various industrial applications.
Where is Platinum Found?
While platinum is relatively scarce, it is not as rare as some other precious metals. The majority of the world's platinum supply comes from two main sources: primary production and recycling. South Africa is the leading producer of platinum, contributing significantly to the global supply. Russia, Zimbabwe, and Canada also have substantial platinum deposits.
Platinum is often found alongside other minerals, such as nickel and copper, in ore deposits known as platinum group elements (PGE). Extracting platinum from these ores involves complex processes that require advanced mining and refining technologies.
Why Would You Want Platinum?
Jewelry and Luxury Goods:
Platinum's brilliant white sheen and resistance to tarnish make it a popular choice for crafting high-end jewelry. Platinum jewelry is not only exquisite but also durable, making it an ideal choice for engagement rings, wedding bands, and other fine accessories.
Catalytic Converters:
The automotive industry extensively uses platinum in catalytic converters, where it plays a crucial role in reducing harmful emissions from vehicles. Its catalytic properties make it an essential component in promoting cleaner air and environmental sustainability.
Electronics and Industry:
Platinum is a key player in various industrial applications, including electronics, due to its excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion. It is used in the production of electrical contacts, laboratory equipment, and in the manufacturing of glass.
Investment and Financial Markets:
Platinum, like gold and silver, is considered a precious metal and is actively traded in financial markets. Some investors choose to include platinum in their portfolios as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainties.
Platinum mining is a challenging and complex process. Extracting platinum from the Earth involves several intricate steps, and the scarcity of platinum deposits adds to the difficulty of mining this precious metal. Here is an overview of the key challenges associated with platinum mining:
Ore Extraction:
Platinum is often found in combination with other metals, forming platinum group elements (PGE) deposits. Extracting platinum from these ores requires advanced mining techniques. The ores are typically low in concentration, making the extraction process more intricate than that of more abundant metals.
Depth of Deposits:
Many platinum deposits are located deep underground, which adds to the complexity and cost of mining. Deep-level mining requires specialized equipment and poses safety challenges for miners. In some cases, mines may extend kilometers below the Earth's surface.
Energy Intensity:
The extraction and refining of platinum involve energy-intensive processes. The high temperatures required for smelting and refining contribute to the overall energy consumption of platinum mining operations.
Environmental Impact:
Mining operations, especially in ecologically sensitive areas, can have significant environmental impacts. Platinum mining may result in habitat disruption, soil erosion, and water pollution. Sustainable mining practices and environmental regulations are essential to mitigate these effects.
Labor Intensity:
Mining platinum is a labor-intensive process that requires skilled workers. The complexity of the operations, coupled with safety considerations in deep-level mining, makes it essential to have trained personnel.
Market Volatility:
The platinum market is subject to price fluctuations, influenced by factors such as supply and demand dynamics, economic conditions, and geopolitical events. This volatility can impact the profitability of mining operations and investment decisions in the platinum industry.
Technological Challenges:
The extraction and processing of platinum ores require advanced technologies. Developing and implementing efficient and environmentally responsible mining technologies is an ongoing challenge for the industry.
Despite these challenges, the demand for platinum in various industries, such as jewelry, automotive, and electronics, continues to drive the exploration and extraction of new platinum sources. Innovations in mining technologies and sustainable practices are being explored to address the difficulties associated with platinum mining and ensure its responsible and ethical extraction.
THE TECHNICALS
Sharp downtrend, weak, although down, it is a support trend.
Two strong (one stronger than the other) support trends, IF UNDER, THEN BUY is probably the rule for those.
It looks like there is some downside to come, which has been showing.
The ideal price targets are thicker, and basically mean, under perfect conditions, I'd exit and enter at these levels, however, nothing is ever perfect.
AS far as what the technicals say for price, I'd say there is a good chance it can maintain $800, however, there is a possible dip showing, which takes price down to $700. Again, these are both under or at major trends, and we can say that if price gets to these levels, I have a better than average chance at profit. AND if I'm wrong, I'm backed up by multiple support lines, which means less time in the red.
Other scenario is where the bullish momentum keeps moving up at we head up to 1200 or so before hitting that huge dip. However, I tend to see this as the less likely option.
RSI is showing the dip, along with various other indicators as coming in the short term and being backed up with support and buying in the longer term, this doesn't include a black swan event, which would theoretically take the price way down, and rocket to all time highs, as platinum will likely hold value.
Good luck!!
Personal opinion, I'm bullish long term from a fundamental side and technical side.
HHH, Trends and Targets, Late FEB alignment Another Late FEB alignment for a crash, based on trends, earnings and more. It seems this company might be one of them at the very center of it all. I mean, if you need more, look at the investor's names. All super coincidental, but great if you're trying to buy most of a company.
I also like Canadian Rail due to STEEL price, and potential global shipment issues. Train is the cheapest option, barring the tracks, but I'm sure tunnels will help in the future. Probably also Fracking in Canada (shale?? I think is the rock name.. I could be wrong). Either way, there is a HUGE deposit near the Winnipeg area. Canadia Rail almost has to benefit from this, along with potential trade deals and border restriction reductions into and out of Canada.
Emotional guideline: simple guideline or path that I'm currently seeing, I don't expect this to be accurate but it helps me go back and find errors or changes within the TA.
Shortest term trend that I could find (data isn't super great for this stock) shows a climb to the topside before the drop, which is in alignment with a lot of the overall market. Obviously this means nothing, as price can always head right over those rejection points. However, a nice drop, followed by another decent move to the upside would setup this chart for a pretty nice long term trade.
I would watch the 4 key trend lines marked. I think those are going to be key for this stock's chart TA, If price is over a rejection trend, start to realize profits based on your risk and strategy. If price is under a support trend, it should be taken a really nice potential to buy the dip, barring any black swan event. In both scenarios, the probability starts to favor your side of the trade, which is all we can really ask for when trading.
Good luck!!
EA, IS SOMEONE BUYING?Why video gaming companies?
MICROTRANSACTIONS
=
BIG $$$$
Personally, if I was to guess, I'd say APPLE is a great fit.
Either way, someone buying or not, doesn't matter. We follow the technicals and the trends. The cool part is when this thing starts to fall, it has potential to fall pretty hard. Obviously, with this being a weekly chart, that is a decent time away, but it should prep you for any potential "great" news that brings the stock price to all-time highs before potentially crashing and retracing a significant amount of gains.
PFE chart: TRENDS and Price TARGETSPFE chart - Mid term/Longer term
Pretty bullish overall, but there is some downside showing (24, 18)
These points make some excellent buy zones.
Watch that first rejection trend
Really strong rejection trend at the top (thick red)
I'm liking 54 as an exit, but there is potential to fly past that.
Idk, I think at some point we see the downside of 18-17, but I'm sure when. If it happens sooner rather than later, strong buy.
Remember, you can wait for the price to go under your target and then buy when it starts going up to your target, or you can try and catch the falling knife.
Good luck!
How to Analyse Forex Market Trends and Make Informed Trading DecThe Forex market (FX), or foreign exchange market, represents a vast and dynamic space in which currencies are traded daily. Serving as the largest financial market in the world—trading in the Forex market reached US$7.5 trillion per day in April 2022, according to the Bank for International Settlements (BLS)—the Forex market delivers clear and actionable trends for seasoned traders and investors, though for the uninitiated these trends can appear confusing and unpredictable. Consequently, possessing accurate knowledge and analysis tools to analyse market trends and make informed trading decisions is key.
FX Market Movers
Everything begins with the central banks and their guidance in the FX space. Well-known central banks include the US Federal Reserve (Fed), the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of England (BoE); major central banks play a crucial role in shaping market sentiment.
Monetary policy—altering the money supply—can significantly influence exchange rates and help establish long-term trends; when a central bank refers to monetary policy, it tends to be in the direction of increasing/decreasing the overnight target rate, which can make it more expensive (or less expensive depending on the rate move) for commercial banks to borrow reserves from one another in the overnight market.
For the US, the target range for the Fed funds rate is set eight times a year, reflecting the FOMC's (the Federal Open Market Committee is the policy-making arm for the Fed) assessment of the economic conditions and their desired monetary policy stance. Ultimately, commercial banks decide whether to borrow at the Fed funds rate based on their own needs and the prevailing market conditions. If banks have sufficient reserves at the central bank, they may not need to borrow, even if the Fed funds rate is low. The Fed conducts open market operations (OMOs) to influence the supply of reserves in the banking system. By buying or selling Treasury securities, the Fed can increase or decrease the amount of reserves banks have, thereby affecting the availability of funds for lending.
Recognising central bank projections and their guidance helps highlight possible trend reversals or can help indicate a resumption in current trends. For example, a central bank echoing a hawkish vibe (expected to raise rates) could see increased demand for its currency, and vice versa for a dovish setting.
Economic data such as inflation (CPI and PPI, for example), growth (Gross Domestic Product ) and unemployment are pivotal to understand and often move FX markets in the short term; this is what the central bank policymakers follow to help decide monetary policy. Central banks determine the longer-term trend, while economic indicators influence shorter-term price movement (this action can either be in line with the longer-term trend or against the trend ). Out-of-consensus economic data tend to move markets most, particularly those that reach/exceed the upper and lower range estimate limits.
Geopolitics, of course, is another noteworthy market mover and one that can be difficult to trade. Wars, political unrest and pandemics create uncertainty for traders: geopolitical risk. When all three are aligned, that is, central bank guidance/expectations, economic indicators, and the geopolitical situation, this is where solid trending markets can occur.
How to Make Informed Trading Decisions?
How one elects to assess the trending structure in the Forex market will be unique to each trader. Some choose to focus their efforts solely on technical analysis; others prefer the comfort of merging both technical analysis and fundamental analysis (macroeconomics – as above) to create trading ideas.
Many professional traders use macroeconomic market analysis to help answer the question of what to trade: what market is likely to see a trend reversal over the next few months or a trend continuation? Technical analysis is used to help answer the question of when to trade, representing the study of historical price action, technical indicators and volume.
As a basic (hypothetical) example, assume that the Fed is closely monitoring inflationary pressures, which, according to the latest data, hit 5.0% in the twelve months to December 2025. With markets and economists indicating inflation could continue to rise in 2026, the Fed is widely expected to keep raising the Fed funds target range. Fast forward to January’s inflation number, which was expected to rise by 5.2% but instead surpassed median estimates and rose by 5.8%. A release such as this, knowing that the Fed is watching for further inflationary pressures, increases the chances of the Fed raising the Fed funds target range at its next meeting. By extension, this will affect rate-pricing forecasts and could bolster the US dollar (USD) following the inflation release, adding to the (hypothetical) current uptrend that has been in play since the beginning of 2025, when inflation began to rise. So, in this particular example, the macro backdrop could have been an opportunity to join an uptrend or add to an existing long (buy) position. The trigger to indicate when to enter long, however, may have been from something as basic as a technical resistance breach, thus providing a trigger point to enter the market. Therefore, not only would this trade have been backed by having a macro rationale, but also technical evidence.
Another example is the current situation as we head into 2024. The markets are gradually switching from a central bank tightening theme that was seen in 2023 to a central bank easing theme. This means that any negative data for the US economy could see the dollar sold off, and this is where traders would then shift to their technical strategy to seek a bearish setup.
PAY YOUR PAL - WITH GAINS? EARNINGS CHART & TRENDSI could see it playing out something like the ghost feed, but idk yet.
Watch the trends, watch the breakout from that strong resistance, look for a rejection coming from that strong resistance. This is a great long position, especially should we see that 45 mark.
Not much else to explain.
AMD BULLISH spaceship is getting ready to flyI worked out all the math behind the flight path of the bullish spaceship. I'd imagine maybe this?
Space ship math is hard. idk.
Like short term wise, we probably will definitely most likely pretty much see 113.36 (better say 112 to be safe)
Very bullish short term climb with potential to spring up to 119-126.
This is a short term chart, but should cover a lot of the possible movement. I trade on trends, so I'll be looking for more short term support to build to allow this to continue climbing. Once that trends starts to break, I'll be looking for an exit and a potential short entry.
Very bullish on AMD.
Also. VERY bullish on Tesla
BUT WHICH DIRECTION IS THE TREND HEADED?It's not a simple question and REALLY matters ALL of the time, so, finding a simple answer is a neat tool to have in the snuff-toolbox..
Here's the quickest, easiest down-n-dirry method for getting closer to an answer.
If you look at the ranging areas of the chart. The in-between, sideways, messy, wish-it-didn't-exist areas and draw a rough shape tracing the progression, then you'll likely notice either a "U" shape or an "n" shape (not everywhere, but at least one prominent one per section/timescale). You'll know if when you see it. Keep practicing and don't force it.
The U Shape can be reliably trusted to identify a Bullish trend, whilst the n Shape does the same when there's blood about.
Sound silly, right..
But it works.
And now you know..
Weekly BTC Log-Chart (Perspective)CRYPTOCAP:BTC | #BTC
Weekly Log-chart gives some perspective.
We are still below long-term trend line, and beginning to reach extreme overbought levels on the weekly RSI; doesn't mean we can't continue to power higher but expect some volatility ahead from current price levels.
USOil - Testing New HH - 79.22
USOIL is at a strong support level and this is ready for a good Bullish move. After a big jump with the news earlier today - looking for more moves in the NY session. Definitely be patient and wait for that right entry. Entry I will possibly be taking is around, 78.66 - Looking for the candle to close above that area. Also we are in consolidation right now, and we also have could go further down as well if it closes low at 77.67 but candles will have to close below and wait for that full confirmation of it pushing down. That is why we are being patient and allowing the market to do what it needs to do for the right setup. TVC:USOIL
FTT/USDT 1D. Channel. Cycles. Accumulation. Idea.Idea on the secondary trend of the FTT token of "scam exchange" FTX.
After the FTX scam horizontal channel started to form. There were 2 accumulations zones which lasted each 30 days ~(1 month). After that the pump followed.
Now the price is between this 2 accumulation zones(buffer zone) for 3 months already.
After first pump local dip formed, after which another pump(2nd wave) followed. This wave formed local cycle at the duration of 32 days. Shown on the chart.
Above the chart each period is described. Below - what happened at each point of a new cycle.
Lately, after each new cycle(beginning since Aug 18) - we've seen price increase from 30 to 40%.
This 3 local pump waves formed an ascending triangle(bullish formation). Next cycle is on Nov. 22. 15 November is the date of listening for FTX case.
So, what do you think more likely - rise to somewhere about 2.2022$ zone(89.6% from current)?
Or the dump to the support of the "outer" channel to about 0.8088$ zone(-30.81%)?
By the way, since the beginning of the last local cycle - we've seen a significant increase in volume(Bitget exchange). Local resistance of the triangle is 1.22-1.33$$ zone.
I SPY CHART - TRENDS Sharing my chart for SPY for this week.
This is nothing more than a preliminary trading plan that prepares me for movement in both directions.
TBH, I'm not totally sure how it plays out yet, it's one of those moments where you have to keep reanalyzing in real time to adjust prices and trends.
I can say with some certainty that there is a pretty good price drop coming, and I think I've identified the trend that will cause it (hot pink). I would watch for a trend break on that trend.
If it played out like this, it wouldn't surprise me, but obviously, I would rely more on the trends and price targets vs the arrow path.
Good luck!
Honestly, if you miss a short entry on a steep drop, instead of jumping in way too late, consider a 3x leveraged ticker and buy in the bullish direction. Realize your profits, and you'll make just as much. LONG TERM is favored for bulls until some major trends break or WW3 starts. I have other charts that cover those projections.
AUDUSD: Thoughts and Analysis pre-RBA Today's focus: AUDUSD
Pattern – Range /Distribution?
Support – .6287
Resistance – .6520
Hi, and thanks for checking out today's update. Today, we are looking at the AUDUSD on the daily chart.
Today, we have run over the AUDUSD as price continues to test resistance after Friday's fantastic rally after US employment data sunk the USD.
Technically price looks good. We have run over price action we want to see to show a continuation in the AUDUSD. Two factors are the USD strength and the RBA rate decision. Rates are expected to rise tomorrow, but will this be it, or will the door be left open? The USD momentum change is another key. If this trend continues, we will look for the AUDUSD to contnue its current trend. We do want to see a new higher low to show a solid trend structure.
Good trading.
GROV - IF you want a "Squeeze candidate" try this one. There is some serious potential here on this stock. After such a big drop, those short positions are going to close, which will end up springing the price upwards. There is potential for a big short term run-up on this stock.
Price targets are marked.
Relevant trends are marked.
This trade won't be for those not okay with massive risk!!
The lowest price target I currently see is marked in red. Imo, this price target will ultimately spring the price higher in the end, and you can probably buy that dip with some confidence in some kind of bullish price action to come and cover losses.
Ultimately, we could very well see a situation like this play out. This line won't be very accurate overall, please follow the actual chart and indicators, however, this movement projects to be quick, but it's hard to tell. If the trends are projected accurately, it times the crash to mid-late Jan, and it times the run-up into starting next week.
If I was trading, I'd pay close attention to that 3.83 mark, with potential to keep going up to like 5.8 or so..
$SOLUSDT - x2 and it should be an intermediate milestoneBYBIT:SOLUSDT is ready to show 200 and more percent in the 2-6 weeks.
Good potential, aligned with the Bitcoin dominance sharing and positive moods of investors.
Further steps depends on the Bitcoin behavior, but aware of the final result - goal is 39 opposite 19-24.
Does not constitute a recommendation.

BTC weekly upward breakBTC has been consolidating above BBLine on the weekly chart. The narrowing band during the process indicates energy being stored.
Now the price broke the top band with momentum. This signals the start of a bullish move. Any retracement to the center BBLine is a good place to add positions.
SPOT EARNINGS CHART - SPOTIFY TRENDS SPOT chart for earnings. IMO, it probably see a rejection around 152ish and then drops down to buy zone 1. After buy zone 1, the return takes it back around 142-147.
Due to the nature of earnings, we could potentially see the drop to 126 all within the AH
Earnings potentially takes it down all the way to 102.
It's hard to say that earnings pumps, and the reason for that is due to the tech sector. Most tech stocks heading into earnings look like a small pump, followed by a decent sized retracement.
Potentially this, it would allow for some great movements, and trade setups.
Total index analysis Crypto Total 2 has broken down the upward channel and has tested the supportbelow it, now we can see this weekly candel is now open and heading upward. besides that we can see an obvious RD + in MACD and MFI. and Elon Musk just tweeted again! so in my opinion we are about to see a pullback to the broken channel and after that we have to see if there is any sign of getting back to the uptrend or that is just a technical pull back and we have to get ready for a massive dump and a long bear market for crypto market .
im bearish until i see areal good sign here. the first target for the market total is retesting 2017 high.
