TDOC (zoom in from bigger picture idea)I posted the bigger picture view in my previous post where I provided the context for this idea, which is my near-term projection with 2 most likely paths of price action from current level)... see context overview below:
To summarize:
- the main pattern I am watching is the completion of wave C of an expanded flat - this is potentially wave II of a larger cycle, invalidated if price drops below 9. A local bottom at 27.30 on May 12 fits the criteria as the 5th subwave of C of this expanded flat, which would make it a 2.00 retracement of wave B of that EF (wave B is also my primary wave 5 at the all time high (ATH) of 308 back in Feb. 2021.
- (1) - (2) of circle C was a double combo off correction off the ATH that broke down and has been forming the Z of a triple combo off the ATH that encompasses wave circle C of the expanded flat
- (3) - (4) of circle C ended in an expanding triangle around the 1.618 retracement of circle B, this resulted in a nasty gap down to the level that TDOC went public (~28).. this was necessary to realize the 5th and final count of circle C, and also to retest TDOCs IPO level for support.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So now were here. The goal of the big money seems to accumulating shares and establishing a bottom at larger cycle wave II before beginning mark up. The move off the new low has the setup to be very explosive upside for a couple reasons:
- it will simultaneously complete the expanded flat correction and the primary corrective wave
- there is a massive gap to fill to the upside
- potential for short squeeze with over 23% float, and the entire market is a dangerous enviroment for shorts right now if names like TDOC, SPOT, EPAM, etc. (i.e. solid companies with significant near-term upside potential) trigger the squeeze
Here's what the chart and the math is telling me for TDOC - there is room next week to make a run to low-mid 40s (point target 46) and complete E of the new triangle forming at (5) of circle C. There is also evidence that wyckoff accumulation began after the gap down and is now in either phase b or c.
-if c, then the spring was just realized at D of the blue triangle, and the next thing we will see is a sign of strength to a level > blue A. Looking at the trendline resistance through the highs of blue A & C, TDOC just broke above that Friday 6/24, and made a low just above the resistance (indicating potential support). The marginal gap is at 46, so it is possible to see a test of marginal gap fill at 46, which would be the SoS, followed by a backup/retest of the upper triangle for support before markup. I am getting confluence for the initial target from current level = 46, so I am expecting that to be the next level reached from here {confluence: 46 is my time series forecast by July 15, 46 is the extrapolated level that will be realized if RSI makes it to around 70 and becomes oversold - bullish momentum pointing to that, 46 is the 0.382 of the upper part of previous triangle (i.e. (4) of circle C), and 46 is the marginal gap). Thus, if blue D was in fact the spring, then expect the solid black path to materialize and continue to around 60 (0.618 w.r.t (4) of circle C, and just above the nominal gap fill in the mid 50s). Would likely consolidate at ~60 before deciding if it has the fuel to begin larger cycle III. If so, the next target will be 93 by Jan. 2023. IF solid black path is realized then will likely see an impulse wave off the 2022 low that has just begun to materialize.
- if we are only in phase b of the wyckoff accumulation, then it is likely the spring will be at a lower low around 14-19. So the dotted black path is second most likely and would look like:
- pop to 46 to complete blue E
- drop to 14-19 to complete (5) of circle C, Z of triple combo, and ultimately larger cycle II
- pop to low 50s to mark the SoS
- retest triangle resistance around mid 30s
- pop to 0.618 at ~60, consolidate, and then continue toward 90s by early 2023
* indication in favor of solid black path materializing is via a proprietary method I developed using stochastic differntial equations. I won't go into the details here, but I have learned not to bet against it when it gives a bullish signal - I got that signal Friday 6/24. Also, the fact that we got bought up at the critical support around the IPO price is a good sign it doesn't need to make a new low... however, if they want to do one more shakeout before markup then they will take it lower
** indication in favor of dotted black line materializing is that the DMI at the daily level does not yet show the properties I'd expect to see if spring was already realized (sorry not shown), it does, however, exhibit the properties of a spring already occuring at the 2-4 hour intervals. Also, I use proprietary control charts as supplemental analysis and they indicate there is moderate probability that after 42-46 there will be risk to 14-19.
Here is my plan of action based on the above, as well as the linked idea of the bigger picture (this is not financial advice):
- Buying shares Monday and will add in the bounce zone of 14-19 if given the opportunity
- Buying Jul 8 2022 35.00 calls and looking to sell when underlying reaches 42 and then 46 next week (both paths are pointing to initial target of 46)
- Buying Oct 21 2022 50.00 calls with expectation we see solid black path, hedging with July 15 30.00 puts in case we see dotted black path - in which case I will exit the Oct calls if TDOC closes below 32 and then re-enter Oct 21 45.00 calls once TDOC bounces at 14-19 using the profits from the hedge.
Bye.

AAPL redistribution before next leg lowerHey everybody,
I've been noticing that the patterns leading up to the fakeout rallies in March have been repeating themselves in numerous market-moving names- namely NVDA, MSFT, and AMZN. I think there's a strong possibility that AAPL goes to test new lows in the next two weeks, only to be met with tremendous buying pressure that will subsequently lead to a fakeout rally that could take it to around $150/share before the next leg lower(redistribution). I think this could push AAPL to the low 100's and possibly double digits by the end of Summer. I am expecting to play this both ways- I will buy any 52-week low made on AAPL in anticipation of a large countertrend rally, and I will subsequently sell the rip and possibly short it in anticipation of the next leg lower. Mind you AAPL is still very high up relative to some other names.
Disclaimer: I do believe we're at the end of a market cycle(a crash) and are simply redistributing before the next leg lower which should begin sometime around late July or early August.
DEERE IN HEADLIGHTSHey guys,
As the other names in the market have been crashing, DE has always stood out to me for how well it has held up to this point. That being said, I do not expect this to hold up for much longer. Starting with basic fundamental analysis, DE is overvalued compared to its historical figures- the stock generally is usually at a single-digit P/E ratio, but currently rests above 16. On a technical analysis basis, the stock is extremely extended to the upside, is fresh off of a false breakout, and has a lot of room down before the year-end. In the immediate term, I expect the stock to hold up through July and maybe even see a little fakeout rally. That being said, I think the stock is entering a markdown phase and should be headed lower in a violent manner by August. This is backed by other distribution patterns in other agriculture names(CF, CAT) and in mutual funds such as MOO. I would not be surprised if this stock saw its pre-pandemic levels before year-end.
Disclaimer: I'm currently short on DE with a cost basis of $388/share and am looking to size up my position
MOO running out of grassHey everybody,
I've been following MOO as of late as I'm currently short DE and waiting on an entry for CAT short as well; I've noticed that it has essentially been forming a Wyckoff-style distribution pattern, and is one of the few sectors in this market that isn't brutally beaten down at this point. I'm currently expecting a countertrend rally upwards in this name, but I fully expect the rally to be faded and for this sector to enter a brutal markdown phase that will take it to pre-pandemic levels well before 2023. The question in my eyes is when and where will the rally be faded? My current ideal entry short on this name rests around $92/share
Possible short setup XLBHey y'all,
On XLB, there is little to suggest that we aren't going to have a counter-trend rally in July. That being said, there are even fewer things suggesting that said rally would not be faded, though predicting where exactly the rally will be faded is an incredibly difficult task. If it somehow manages to push its way up to $82/share, I think it would be an incredible short, though I think it may only make it to around $80. Good luck with your trading!
Bitcoin - A Wyckoff SpringIt is fitting that just after the Solstice we find ourselves considering terms that connote a change of season. The Wyckoff Spring, just like the Solstice, is a pivotal event that signals a change in trend. The Solstice signals a change in the trend of daylight hours in the day. The Wyckoff Spring signals a change in the trend in asset values. Or more specifically, a change from asset depreciation to asset appreciation.
Here, I have identified a Wyckoff Accumulation fractal within a larger, or Primary Wyckoff Accumulation pattern. With such a circumstance, it makes for charting a possible recovery pattern, consistent with phases C and D of the Wyckoff pattern and I have drawn a possible path above.
It is undoubtedly inaccurate, however, it will provide some waypoints by which to identify the progress of the recovery as Bitcoin moves back toward re-claiming the $50k price tag.
Things to consider about the chart in respect to future developments:
- Moving Averages – Once they start to cross, bullish momentum will increase.
- RSI – has just broken back above 30
- MACD – converging MA to the signal line, about to cross bullish
- Volume – Increasing relative to earlier periods of the bear market, with the Bulls now absorbing selling pressure.
Happy Accumulation!
GBPJPY Weakness -- is this the End of the Monthly Trend?We are getting to the end of a monthly elliot wave cycle and I am expecting a reversal and distribution pattern to play out. I am not going to try to catch the very top but wait for a stop loss hunt/UTAD to play out. I do think we should see exhaustion of buyers soon.
The peak in volume and evil wick we got recently I am taking as a sign of weakness, buyers stepped in but volume is diminishing and diverging with price since then.
Poor Result of Effort: A Sign Of Supply, Nat GasNatural Gas:
The essence of techncial analysis (at least in my opinion) is ascertaining the ebb and flow of supply and demand.
Natural Gas futures offers a great example of a market which, despite ultra-bullish headlines, displayed clear signs of strengthening supply/falling demand prior to breaking hard. The reduction of thrust or the declining net result of effort displayed in this chart as an important warning of impending change and is a pattern I always pay attention to.
In this example:
· Each successive thrust covers less new ground than the prior thrust: 76 points, 42 points, and finally 14 points. There is a clear reduction in the net result of the effort expended. This often appears as an arching over.
· Each successive thrust is often at a reduced angle: 43, 30 and finally 20 degrees.
· Each successive thrust often takes less time to accomplish. 14, 14, and finally 9 bars. But time is the least important of three measures.
Since each thrust has less momentum. It’s not surprising that this would register as an ongoing divergence on a momentum oscillator like RSI.
This particular pattern built over almost 2 months of trading (37 daily bars), allowing plenty of time to build a trading plan, either exiting if long or perhaps building a plan to build a short position around the decline.
More reason to take the development of the pattern more seriously is found in the weekly chart (see the triple screen post linked below). In the example there are three successively steeper trend lines that roughly define the markets trend state.
· I tend to be particularly attentive to these patterns after a third steeply pitched uptrend develops in the charts of higher degree.
· The parabolic acceleration in the third leg often offers warning that the trend is moving into its late stages.
· But, parabolic moves often last for extended periods and cover lots of ground.
· I like to look for this pattern on standard scale as opposed to log scale charts. Log scale tends to hide the parabolic nature of the third leg. While others will argue over the efficacy of standard scale charts over long time periods and large moves, I clearly prefer non log scaling for this pattern.
There was also an intermediate perspective warning in the RSI momentum divergence.
Both patterns of are fractal, occurring across all markets and all time frames. The reduction of thrust pattern tends to display at tops rather than bottoms. Often, they show up well in the hourly charts.
Note: I inadvertently used the MCX instead of the NYMEX futures. But there are no material differences in the patterns between the two

Potential Accumulation USOILPotential accumulation forming, i've entered now with low lots with the attempt to scale in, once we see that SOS i'll be waiting for the pullback into demand before taking this long.
Let me know your thoughts!
* Disclaimer **
These ideas I never trade until the end target with my initial lots, I focused on high probable entries with higher lots and use a specific partial taking strategy giving me a very high win rate and take most of my profits very early, I only leave a small % of my capital to run the entire trade. On the flip side im constantly monitoring LTF momentum and will close early if things change, these analysis's are for research purposes only.
BTCUSD possible pop with in the next hour at 6pm estBased on the 1 hour chart you can see obvious re-accumulation and that should be solidifying within the next hour by 6pm-7pm. There should be a clear sign of movememnt up if everything went according to plan for this move. target is the last previous high before it dipped down to where it is now.

XLMUSD is about to pop after hitting absorptionTesting out some new things and Wanted to document this. I think by the end of the blue line at the bottom price should pop signifying it has hit absorption. Pull back into 7 for the final dip into liquidity and then pop again right at the vertical line after 7. This will be its move out side of this box it has created with the price action and the move for profits.

The Kraft Heinz Company KHC setting up for a pop. With all the markets moving I wanted to test out something on a stock that had not moved yet. KHS is checking all the boxes. I drew the rough idea of what it should do. It doesnt matter until Price gets to the last two set of blue lines. If price moves up at an angle from the beginning to almost the end Enter a trade and watch what happens after price crosses the last blue line.

Bullish on EURUSD After a frustrating start to the week, persistence paid off catching a nice long on EURUSD...
HTFs - On Monday, price reached the daily demand zone with a rejection and then began to move sideways. This was an early indication that price could be building a cause (accumulation) to potentially reverse to the upside. See the daily screenshot.
s3.tradingview.com
As price was ranging, there were multiple aggressive bullish impulses on the 1h where highs were breaking again signalling early buying could be occurring. On Wednesday, the lows were broken followed by an immediate rejection deep within the daily demand zone which looked to be a possible Spring phase of the accumulation mentioned earlier. During the Thursday Asia session, price trickled back down to the lows which held (Spring Test). The lower time frames showed what was happening.
LTFs - A small accumulation began just after London open and continued through to New York. This a great example of how price is fractal. In the screenshot, there were multiple bullish impulses breaking highs within ranging price action, followed by corrective moves back down. Adding this price action to the HTF analysis was enough for me to set my buy order at the range lows.
s3.tradingview.com
Next week I'll be looking to see if price continues after this bullish move. It's worth noting I took 2 losses earlier in the week before this trade returned over +10R. Trust yourself
Dwac SHORTLikely a continuation down after a little liquidity grab or rally to 33.61 then all the way down to 16-10 dollar range
LIMIT BUY AT 840$This is a Wyckoff Accumulation mode (same as BTC)
Phase A -
Preliminary support is identified !
Selling Climax is done !
Automatic Rally is done ! But BIDs are absorbing
The range is identified definitely !
Phase B -
Kissed twice close to level, confirmed by Secondary Test. In additive Yesterday FOMC Rate decision (by hiking 0.75) drived price below level.
Phase B is done
Phase C
"Spring" is on the way.... let's see what price will be targeted !
LOW Volume (JAN 21) is on process to be filled !
839$ (IMO) is the price where Volume is more than poor ! We might get back to chis level ! ASKing price is OPTIMAL !
ETHERIUM stay a Great project, no matter Scalability issue. Testnet on Bacon Chain done successfully !
Once POS will trigger (POW might be over), the way above 8k figure is certain !
I am not adding to my Long in BTCI don't buy this as a useful rally that will lead to big gains.
1. We have not yet explored the bottom of the structure. This wick begs to be filled. When we were in it there was plenty of liquidity down there to be tapped.
2. As I showed last week, the upper part strongly resembles a Wyckoff Distribution, and now we have this move as the possible UTAD.
3. Volumes are unexciting, plus if it IS the creek getting crossed, then we will see the re-test and go. This would be around $30,250
4. Moon Carl just said he was "ALL-IN on this BITCOIN BOUNCE!!!". He represents the retail trader's reactions and emotions.
5. I am already long. To get me to go longer I need more evidence than this. I want to see the longs squeezed out. This move just adds to the number of longs that can be slaughtered.
Zoom out and you see that what looks like an exciting impulsive move is jack s__t in the big picture:
I am happy being a bit long, just in case, but I'm going to wait for a higher probability trade, thanks.
BTC made friends with 3D 200MAThis BTC chart includes a distribution schematic for Wyckoff events and phases…
Price failed to breakdown support in Phase D then began to develop additional support at the 200MA. Nice.
The schematic may not be 100% accurate when it comes to placement levels and timing of phases but this correlation is interesting and worth watching.
🔮 Expecting 1/2 scenarios to play out.
Scenario 1
200MA holds and we a see a strong move upwards to confirm continuation.
Scenario 2
200MA fails as support and we test liquidity below. This can be quick or sustained throughout 2022. Price action around $25k range will be interesting.
