The Cores of Price Analysis: Trend Following vs. Mean ReversionIn the world of financial markets, predicting future price movements is akin to unlocking a treasure chest. Two of the most prominent methodologies used by traders and analysts to decipher market movements are Trend Following and Mean Reversion. Each approach offers a unique perspective on how markets behave and provides strategies for capitalizing on this behavior. In this article, we'll dive into the core concepts of these methodologies, explore how they can be implemented, and touch on basic processing techniques like smoothing and normalization, which enhance their effectiveness. Trend Following: Surfing the Market Waves Trend Following is based on the premise that markets move in trends over time, and these trends can be identified and followed to generate profits. The essence of trend following is to "buy high and sell higher" in a bull market, and "sell low and buy back lower" in a bear market. This method relies on the assumption that prices that have been moving in a particular direction will continue to move in that direction until the trend reverses. How to Implement Trend Following 1. Identifying the Trend: The first step is to identify the market trend. This can be done using technical indicators such as moving averages, MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), or ADX (Average Directional Index). For example, a simple strategy might involve buying when the price is above its 200-day moving average and selling when it's below. 2. Entry and Exit Points: Once a trend is identified, the next step is to determine entry and exit points. This could involve using breakout strategies, where trades are entered when the price breaks out of a consolidation pattern, or using momentum indicators to confirm trend strength before entry. 3. Risk Management: Implementing stop-loss orders and adjusting position sizes based on the volatility of the asset are crucial to managing risk in trend-following strategies. Basic Processing Techniques - Smoothing: To reduce market noise and make the trend more discernible, smoothing techniques such as moving averages or exponential smoothing can be applied to price data. - Normalization: This involves scaling price data to a specific range, often to compare the relative performance of different assets or to make the data more compatible with certain technical indicators. Mean Reversion: Betting on the Elastic Band Contrary to trend following, Mean Reversion is based on the idea that prices tend to revert to their mean (average) over time. This methodology operates on the principle that extreme movements in price – either up or down – are likely to revert to the mean, offering profit opportunities. How to Implement Mean Reversion 1. Identifying the Mean: The first step is to determine the mean to which the price is expected to revert. This could be a historical average price, a moving average, or another indicator that serves as a central tendency measure. 2. Identifying Extremes: The next step is to identify when prices have moved significantly away from the mean. This can be done using indicators like Bollinger Bands, RSI (Relative Strength Index), or standard deviation measures. 3. Entry and Exit Points: Trades are typically entered when prices are considered to be at an extreme deviation from the mean, betting on the reversal towards the mean. Exit points are set when prices revert to or near the mean. Basic Processing Techniques - Smoothing: Similar to trend following, smoothing techniques help in clarifying the mean price level by reducing the impact of short-term fluctuations. - Normalization: Especially useful in mean reversion to standardize the deviation of price from the mean, making it easier to identify extremes across different assets or time frames. Conclusion Trend Following and Mean Reversion are two fundamental methodologies in financial market analysis, each with its unique perspective on market movements. By employing these strategies thoughtfully, along with processing techniques like smoothing and normalization, traders and analysts can enhance their understanding of market dynamics and improve their decision-making process. As with any investment strategy, the key to success lies in disciplined implementation, thorough backtesting, and effective risk management.

#ONE → Continue correction of wave 3 or CIn time h2, if the neck line is broken, this correction will continue until the limit of the green zone. Considering that the previous wave has corrected up to 23%, we should probably be in wave 3 or C, which will touch the green box area after breaking the neckline. ------------- Please support this idea with a LIKE and COMMENT if you find it useful and Click "Follow" on our profile if you'd like these trade ideas delivered straight to your email in the future.

Massive Recovery 1/29 and thoughts for TSLA through WeekA huge surprise with a massive recovery today, ending the day with a cup-handle formation, and there is plenty of upside left for TSLA. We may even potentially close up the gap to $208; but I believe it is dependent on a few factors. Here are my thoughts on price action for TSLA this week: Possibility #1: Run up to 0.5 Fib level $195.41 Tuesday. (Orange arrow) With major earnings coming (such as MSFT/GOOG on Tuesday) I expect the entire market to go up in anticipation to positive earnings. Since TSLA just bounced off a major support of $180, TSLA is a candidate to move faster than the market (such as today with a 4.3% run vs the S&P500 under 1%.) We may also have a run up compounded with an anticipation to positive news from Wednesday's FOMC meeting (buy the rumor sell the news.) If given positive news (anything not already priced in) we may even have a run up to closing the gap at $208 later in the week. Possibility #2: Choppy trading through Tuesday until FOMC (purple line) for the following reasons: Per Yahoo Finance: "Markets see rates unchanged in January and Predict 48% probability of a rate cut at the next meeting in March." If some expectation is priced in, we may have a low volume day until further confirmation. Since we just hit ATH on S&P500, investors may be more reluctant in trading and we go side ways until the FOMC meeting. If nothing major comes from the FOMC meeting, we may have continued sideways trading for the rest of the week, bouncing off $188. I believe possibility 2 is a bit more likely, but not much more than possibility 1. Coming off a recent ATH on S&P500 we may see a retracement overall tomorrow, but options flow on TSLA indicate to me that we are bullish for the week. There is a strong possibility that the market has already priced in rate cuts, so this may lead to a sell the news scenario (we may bounce down to $185-$190 before moving to the next level.) As of writing, options expiring 1/30 on SPY put/call volume ratio sits at 1.18, open interest ratio at 1.47. (Figures from Barchart) TSLA options expiring 2/2 have volume put/call ratios at 0.87, open interest ratio at 0.74. (Figures from Barchart) S&P Futures at -0.025% in the PM. 1/29. In the news: First Neuralink chip has been implanted for the first time. (This may bring positive views on Elon and by proxy to TSLA.) Capital Expenditure of Tesla may decrease from $10 Billion from current fiscal year to $8-10 Billion by fiscal 2025 and 2026 (per Yahoo Finance.) Two Tesla executives to sell stock, up to 281,116 and 115,500 respective shares (per Yahoo Finance.) Lastly, my own plan: I may or may not take a position depending how we open in the AM. From the graph, the lines you see to the left of the cup-handle were my previous possibilities I set up from last week. Friday, I was expecting TSLA to retest it's lows and I took some put positions through the weekend. (See ) Sold them immediately in the AM today when a strong bull signal was built, and went calls on SPY (should have gone calls on TSLA instead with that massive recovery, but hindsight is 20/20) I don't plan on holding anything through FOMC for personal risk tolerance reasons. I am a bit reluctant because TSLA has the potential to swing hard, so I may have relatively small positions. This week will be crucial for knowing if we will try for breaking through the upper channel at $240 in the medium to long term (see: ) -OR- we bounce back down to $180. Those are all my thoughts, I'll update this if I see any interesting news that I find relevant to TSLA this week.

HelenP. I Gold can continue to decline inside consolidationHi folks today I'm prepared for you Gold analytics. Some days ago price declined to the support level, which coincided with the support zone, and then tried to rise, but failed and made a downward impulse below the 1980 level, breaking it. After this, XAU in a short time rose back and even later started to trades in consolidation, where it rose to the resistance level, which coincided with the resistance zone and top part. Then price rebounded from this level and fell to the support level, but at once rebounded and made an impulse up back to the resistance zone. But a not long time ago it declined from this zone and now it continues to trades in range. For my mind, I think that Gold can rise a little more to the resistance level and then it will continue to decline. That's why I set my target at the 2030 level.

AMB approaching a strong resistance levelAirDAO AMB price is in pace of approaching a strong resistance. The line is proven its firmness, highlighted in red, the bounce areas dating back to 15th of March of this year, that's past 6 months as of the day of this writing. In a technical perspective, we could still see a continuation of its bullish trend if we see a resistance breakout and if not, sell on bounce area with confirmation of a breakdown as well. I also made a diagonal support below as a guide. The RSI indicates that the coin price is near oversold. Happy trading and always plan your trades by putting a take profit and stop loss areas in every position.

MKR Double Bottom UpdateYesterday, I published this double bottom pattern of MKR as I'm in the wait-and-see mode for a possible scenario - 1) a breakout or 2) a price rejection. The coin had a breakout on its neckline, thus lead to the activation of the bullish pattern as it nearly approaches our target profit area, I also put a protective stop loss, thanks to the .618 fib area to secure profits. Overall, confluences of my trade include confirmations, resistance breakout, buy volume, and MACD

📊TRB surge, where is the likely target zone❓🧐TRB started a 19-day violent rise after returning to the 2022 low again. Many people will regret that they did not seize the opportunity of this rise. But if we enter the market now, there will be countless fears to stop us. 🧠To this end, I have analyzed and sorted out the target areas that may be reached by the rise, and simulated the possible trajectory, hoping to solve everyone's confusion.🍻 ‼️Note that if we reach B TP1, then it is possible to go to B TP2. If we stop at TP1, then this simulation trajectory will be invalid. If we break through B SELL ZONE, then this simulation trajectory will also be invalid.❌ let us see👀 👏Welcome everyone’s messages and comments💬 🤜If you like my analysis, please like 💖and share it💬
