Learning the Ropes: Shortening of Thrust (SOT)Hello, traders! Today we're going to discuss an important technical analysis technique that can help you spot potential trend reversals - the Shortening of Thrust (SOT). This method can be a game changer for new and experienced traders alike. Let's dive in! 🔎 What is Shortening of Thrust (SOT)? Shortening of Thrust (SOT) is a technique used to identify potential reversals in a trend, this technique is a part of Wyckoff and VSA theory. It is based on the observation that the strength of a trend tends to weaken as it approaches a reversal point. This weakening is often evidenced by a shortening of the thrusts, or strong price moves, that characterize the trend. How to Spot SOT To spot SOT shortening of thrust, you can follow these steps: Identify the current trend. This can be done by looking at the overall direction of the price action. For example, if the price is making higher highs and higher lows, then the trend is up. Identify the previous swing high Calculate the thrust of the current move. This is done by subtracting the previous swing high from the current swing high or low. For example, if the current swing high is 100 and the previous swing high is 80, then the thrust of the current move is 20. Compare the thrust of the current move to the thrust of previous moves in the same direction. If the thrust of the current move is shorter than the thrust of previous moves, then this is a sign of SOT shortening of thrust For example, let's say that the price is in an uptrend and you identify the following swing highs and lows: Swing high: 100 Previous swing high: 80 2nd last Previous swing high : 60 The thrust of the current move is 100 - 80 = 20. The thrust of the previous move is 80 - 60 = 20. Since the thrust of the current move is the same as the thrust of the previous move, there is no sign of SOT shortening of thrust. However, if the next swing high is only 110, then the thrust of the current move would be 110 - 100 = 10. This is shorter than the thrust of the previous move, which was 20. This would be a sign of SOT shortening of thrust. distance between the current swing low and previous swing low in a downtrend can be used to measure thrust . To do this, simply subtract the previous swing low from the current swing low. The result is the thrust of the current move. Spotting SOT in Higher Time Frames In an uptrend, if the distance between the high of the previous candle and the high of the current candle decreases, it might signal an upcoming SOT. Conversely, in a downtrend, if the distance between the low of the previous candle and the low of the current candle decreases, we may be witnessing an SOT. To illustrate, consider this example: In this chart, we see an uptrend with each high of the candles getting progressively closer to the next, indicating an up thrust. This signals an SOT and a subsequent reversal of the trend. 📊 Using SOT in Trading SOT can be used to identify entry points for trades against the trend. Traders can use SOT to identify entry points for trades against the trend. For example, a trader might identify a SOT in an Downtrend and enter a long position in anticipation of a reversal. It's crucial to use SOT in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and confirmation signals before making any trading decisions. Here are some additional tips for spotting SOT: Look for SOT in areas where there is other evidence of trend weakness, such as overbought or oversold conditions or divergences between price and momentum indicators. Use SOT in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and confirmation signals before making any trading decisions. Be aware that SOT can sometimes be false signals, so it is important to have a trading plan in place to manage your risk. Conclusion Shortening of Thrust (SOT) is a potent tool in a trader's arsenal, helping to identify potential reversals in a trend. However, remember that it's not a perfect indicator and should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and confirmation signals before making any trading decisions. 🤝 Thank you for your continuous support, likes 🚀, follows, and comments.

#Bitcoin - thoughts out loud #4Good evening, we are from Ukraine! Dear colleagues, I am glad to welcome you! Local distribution is not yet complete. After a sharp price drop, the instrument generates a margin. There is no culmination of sales, so the possible momentum is even lower. If there is no final impulse, then an upward movement is inevitable. The mood is positive, waiting for the asset to gain. Thank you for your attention, and a special thanks for your likes and comments. Sometimes you win/sometimes you learn. #Bitcoin

#Bitcoin - thoughts out loud #07Good evening , we are from Ukraine! I expect further depreciation of the cryptocurrency market. But if we see the strength of the buyer at the price of 25k, we will break through local highs. But judging by the current situation, the chart shows weakness. That is, after exiting the trading range (breaking through local highs), we correlate the spread to the volume, which indicates a narrowing of the spread and a decrease in volume several times. For further upward movement, we need new forces. At this time, they are absent. Thank you all for your attention, I wish you success . Sometimes you win /sometimes you learn . #Bitcoin

CARBORUNDUM UNIVERSAL - A simple AnalysisOn the chart this looks like a good bounce from the support area and 50 EMA. Look at the candles in the down move. As move proceeded the candle sizes reduced indicating that the momentum was reducing. last candle in the down move was a small spread bar with high volume. This candle is a clear indication the Demand was taking control. The next bar is a bullish one with the long wick, wide spread and closing up. Clear indication that the bulls have taken control. Also, the delivery volumes give a clear indication of Accumulation. The chart indicates a good pull back trading opportunity with a good Risk Reward Ratio.

VARUN BEVERAGES - A Stock to WatchThe stock retreated after facing supply. After some consolidation the stock is again negotiating the previous supply area. Volume support is also coming in. Delivery volume also increased indicating interested longer term buyers. Relative strength, Money Flow and absolute strength all in the green. A good close above 873 with volume support will put the stock back in upward trajectory. However the overall Market which is seeing some weakness may play spoil sport. Still a stock watch.

#Bitcoin - thoughts out loud #19Good evening, we are from Ukraine! Dear colleagues, I am glad to welcome you! Having familiarized myself with the market situation on the younger time frames, I can note several key points of the situation that need to be paid attention to. First of all, the current decline in volatility on the first cryptocurrency indicates that the "spring" is narrowing and should soon shoot. The false distribution phase is coming to an end, so I expect a successful spike test or the last point of resistance, as it happens, if one of the signals is present, this is a 90% long scenario and then we will see how easy it will be to stop this locomotive. Secondly, in the case of a true distribution, the price should break the local highs above 32000 and then we can safely talk about Bitcoin at 27000, possibly even cheaper. This is a short action plan in a few words, thank you for your attention, all the best. A like or a comment would be the best thank you from you. To those reading, I wish you all the best of luck!

#Bitcoin - thoughts out loud #18Good evening, we are from Ukraine! Dear colleagues, I am glad to welcome you! 30,000 was successfully reached, albeit with a slight delay. The graph shows the effort result and the volume. In the future, I expect a correction with a possible resumption of the upward movement from certain price levels. I'm targeting 29000-29100 because we need a successful test, in other words, the last point of resistance. Under other circumstances, a drop lower is possible.

#Bitcoin - thoughts out loud #17Good evening, we are from Ukraine! Dear colleagues, I am glad to welcome you! After the weekend, a clearer situation has been formed for our own understanding, which indicates that locally the price of the first cryptocurrency should stay above 28680, in other words, a false breakout of the lows and an additional test of floating propriety to squeeze weak hands out of the market. The target is 28680-28700, the support range from which we can see the resumption of the upward movement. In the absence of professional buyer activity, the asset is expected to depreciate to certain price levels. Sometimes you win/sometimes you learn. #Bitcoin

#Bitcoin - thoughts out loud #16Good evening , we are from Ukraine! I've been watching the chart since Friday and I can identify several key facts in favor of the long scenario: 1) there is no floating supply on the market at the moment. 2) there is no resistance above the local highs. 3) the news background is negative. 4) and most importantly, "someone unknown" is actively buying up almost the entire supply. But there is a downside, there is a lack of results and progress on the chart, the situation should improve in the near future, or the asset will depreciate, the third is not given. Taking these facts into account, I can only say one thing, everyone get ready, because on the 7th-8th of this month, something very incredible awaits us all. I wish you success and all the best! I wish everyone who reads this success and prosperity. Sometimes you win /sometimes you learn . #Bitcoin

#Bitcoin - thoughts out loud #13Good evening, we are from Ukraine! Dear colleagues, I am glad to welcome you! I like the situation with this instrument because it is schematically similar to the distribution phase, but there is one thing: the distribution is false and a significant markup of up to 35,000 is likely to be expected in the near future. I may be wrong, but this is my subjective vision, my thoughts out loud. It's also worth keeping a short-case scenario in mind. Good luck to everyone, all the best.
