Beyond Technical Analysis

Downward pressure on S&P 500 Index intensified past daysYesterday's sell-off damaged the S&P 500's 50-day moving average. While we initially saw a bounce back at the opening, it didn't hold. This makes the 5925 level a critical point to watch as we head toward the end of the year. For those keeping an eye on the charts, a trendline has been intact since the low in October 2023. Although it was breached during the August downturn, we managed to rally back into the bullish channel that's been forming since the fourth quarter of 2023. This channel offers support around the 5800 mark, and I anticipate this level will hold as we close out the year. Should we dip further, the following support levels to watch are 5690 and 5525. While I don't foresee us dropping to these lower levels before year-end, it's essential to acknowledge the potential downside risk. The market sentiment shifted following the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, giving sellers the upper hand for the first time since the summer.

S&P 500 Comes Back From Extreme "Extreme"In the S&P 500, we observe a very similar scenario to the Nasdaq (see link to the NQ chart). It’s worth noting that we’ve seen this situation a few times before: the price traded outside the orange fork, moved back into the fork, but then left behind a "Hagopian" and shot back above it. This is irrational market behavior caused by artificial buying pressure (Gamma Squeeze). Now, we see the market bouncing off the 1/4 line between the warning line and the U-MLH of the white fork. And yet again, we’re trading within the orange fork. What now? Back up again or is it really heading down this time? Read my lips: "I - Don’t - Know." §8-) Buuuut, the projection and the extent of the over extension lead me to believe that this time, it’s going to crash! Like in the NQ, my stance here is **short** for the coming weeks, and possibly even months.

NQ - Nasdaq? Read Tomorrows Wallstreet JournalIt hasn’t made any sense for a long time now how the markets keep climbing. Manipulation? Self-perpetuation? Honestly, who cares why. As the saying goes: “The dwarves dug too deep. And what they unearthed was their doom.” Or, in another version: “The greedy vultures flew too high, and all they found was gravity.” In the chart, we see two pitchforks: The orange one highlights the actual overextension. The white one represents the moderated version. Interpreting this image is simple if you have a rulebook you can trust—and a few decades of market experience under your belt. §8-) 1. **The price turns at the orange centerline.** This means the market is in "balance"—in the context of the overextension. Or… 2. **Put differently:** In the context of the white pitchfork, the market overshot the upper median line parallel. This was an overextension by a factor of 2. **What do we do with this?** We stick to the rulebook for median lines. The rulebook says that when the price trades above the U-MLH (upper median line parallel), fails to hold, and drops back into the fork, the market will fall to the next line. - **Orange fork:** Down to the L-MLH (lower median line parallel). - **White fork:** Down to the centerline. Beyond that, I **think/guess/predict/read-tea-leaves** that the market will fall much deeper in 2025. Please note the distinction here: - The first statement is the projection—the interpretation of the chart. - The latter is a speculation (no crystal ball involved). For me, it’s clear: medium-term **short** with multiple price targets.

$BTC.D prediction based on the current situation.CRYPTOCAP:BTC.D has been climbing steadily since the start of this bull run. It’s often said that an altseason begins when BTC dominance drops below 55%. However, the 54% level appears to be a strong support zone, with the MACD showing a low point and the RSI entering oversold territory. My analysis suggests that BTC dominance has established a range between 59% and 55%. It’s likely to bounce off the top resistance, pushing dominance back toward the support. If the next drop breaks through this support, it could finally trigger a true altseason.

NAS100USD: Strategic Selling Amidst Bearish MomentumGreetings Traders! In today’s analysis of NAS100USD, we reflect on yesterday’s high volatility, which triggered a significant displacement to the downside. Such strong movements often leave inefficiencies in price action that may be revisited in the near future. However, the prevailing bearish institutional order flow suggests opportunities to capitalize on selling setups. Key Observations: 1. Consolidation in Premium Zones: Currently, price is consolidating at a premium level, providing an optimal zone to initiate sell positions. Following the principle of selling in premium and buying in discount, this setup aligns with institutional trading strategies. 2. Bearish Momentum: The bearish structure remains intact, reinforcing the likelihood of price continuing its descent toward discount zones. 3. Potential Reversals in Discount: When price reaches discount levels, it is possible for a reversal back into premium zones. This necessitates a strategic and observant approach to anticipate the next market move. Trading Strategy: Entry: Seek confirmation to sell at premium levels during this consolidation phase. Target: Discount zones, where sell-side liquidity resides, will serve as the primary profit-taking area. As always, remain vigilant and adaptive to market dynamics. If you have insights or questions, feel free to share them in the comments. Let’s learn and grow together! Kind Regards, The Architect

Don't give up and buy TLTWe have a new rate cut, congratulations! The Fed rate is now 4.5%. What is happening in the market, and why does the effect of the rate seem to "work in reverse"? After all, TLT should have been above 100 long ago, especially after so many rate cuts. Yes, that's entirely correct, so why are all our accounts in the red? First and foremost—the most important thing—never sell U.S. Treasury bonds at a loss. Second, the market is "inclined" or "disposed" to believe that the Fed is either lying or doesn't have a proper grasp of the situation. Due to domestic political changes and the effects of Trump's policies, inflation is expected to remain high for a prolonged period—potentially above 3%. Even in that scenario, a yield of 4.7% or higher on 20+ year bonds remains attractive. More on that later, but in the real sector, following the elections, the Chinese yuan has already depreciated by over 5% against the U.S. dollar. RIGHT NOW, the U.S. debt market is the most attractive market with its 3.1% economic growth.

Why Gann's TIME Over PRICE Wins in Trading ?Most traders fail in the market because they only focus on PRICE. However, according to W.D. Gann's principles, TIME is MORE IMPORTANT THAN PRICE. Big institutions can manipulate price movements, but TIME is a fixed entity that cannot be altered. The attached graph illustrates a fundamental yet overlooked concept: 1. Y-Axis → TIME 2. X-Axis → PRICE In reality, every high or low in the market is pre-determined by TIME, not price. Gann's Astro methods use planetary positions, ascendants, and advanced mathematical calculations to predict EXACTLY when the next HIGH or LOW will form in intraday markets. Key Insights: 1. TIME as the Guiding Factor: - The market operates like a clock, where each move happens ON TIME. - Highs and lows form according to fixed celestial cycles, not random price moves. 2. Price Delivery Algorithm: - Price follows a delivery system that respects TIME. - Without understanding TIME, traders become gamblers. 3.Intraday Gann Astro Example: - With calculations based on ascendant planetary alignments, TIME of specific turning points in intraday markets can be predicted. - Example from the chart: - At (2,1), a TIME-driven HIGH forms. - At (4,-1), a LOW forms based on pre-determined calculations. 4.What Gann Astro Does Differently: - Combines planetary positions and mathematics to forecast turning points. - Helps traders trade WITH CONFIDENCE instead of guessing. - Predict highs/lows hours before they happen. Now here is the Gann Intraday Trade Example. You can clearly see on the chart that the TIME for the price reversal was already calculated using the secret Gann Astro principles and advanced mathematics. I precisely identified the reversal time at 07:45, and you can verify this on the software screen. This highlights the power of time-based analysis, where price movements align perfectly with pre-determined time calculations, offering a clear edge in the market. And now observe when the price was delivered — it formed a strong reversal precisely at the TIME I calculated, 07:45. Is this just a coincidence? Absolutely not. This is the real way the market algorithm delivers price. TIME IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN PRICE, and this proves the unmatched accuracy of time-based analysis over conventional price-focused methods. Why Traders Lose Without TIME Knowledge: 1. Traders rely on price patterns, indicators, and technical setups, ignoring the foundational concept of TIME. 2. TIME is constant and unchangeable, while price can be manipulated. 3. Without mastering TIME, traders are reactive instead of predictive. Here’s another LIVE trade execution I successfully completed this week, profiting $3,125 . The trade was precisely calculated 5 hours in advance, demonstrating the power of Gann Intraday Astro Trading. There is nothing else in the trading space that comes close to this level of precision and accuracy. Below, I’ve outlined the step-by-step analysis of my LIVE trade on GOLD using the Gann Astro principles and advanced mathematical calculations. This is a testament to how TIME, not just price, drives market movements, allowing you to predict turning points with exceptional accuracy. The chart clearly demonstrates how I calculated the price reversal a solid 4-5 hours in advance using the Gann Intraday Astro technique. The exact time of reversal was determined to be 6:45, purely based on TIME. Watch closely as I executed the trade relying solely on this precise calculation. This is further proof that TIME is the real driver, while PRICE remains an illusion manipulated by the market. LIVE TRADE ENETRY - TIME IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN PRICE What? Shocked? Clear your mind because this is the real way of trading, whether in swing or intraday. If you're not applying this, you're just gambling with no clue about what you're doing in the market. Those useless indicators and strategies that revolve solely around PRICE will only mislead you. The real truth lies in TIME, not PRICE—because TIME is fixed, and PRICE is just an illusion manipulated by the market. NOW let's understand how markets turn on TIME - In this chart, I’ve calculated each market HIGH and LOW with unmatched precision—something rarely seen in the trading space. By leveraging mathematical models, I pinpointed the exact TIME at which these highs and lows would form. Using advanced mathematical and astro models inspired by Gann, I employed techniques like Squaring the Range, ASC Distance, and the concept of TIME = PRICE. This principle means that when TIME equals PRICE, the market is compelled to reverse due to the fundamental laws governing its movement. It’s crucial to note that while price manipulation can occur, TIME remains immutable—making it the ultimate factor in accurate forecasting. By calculating the critical TIME entries that align with price, we unlock insights into market behaviour that traditional approaches simply can’t match. GANN INTRADAY TRADING - "The Hidden Truth: Why Gann's TIME Over PRICE Wins in Trading" In this chart, you can see the market reversing exactly at 21:05, a TIME I calculated in advance using Gann's astro intraday techniques. The method applied here is Squaring the Range—a concept rooted in understanding the range as the time zone where the price remains confined between two major HIGHs and LOWs. Using advanced mathematical principles in Gann astro analysis, I was able to determine the precise future reversal point. This allows me to approach my trading desk only at the calculated time and execute trades with confidence. This highlights why TIME outweighs PRICE in importance—while prices can be manipulated, TIME remains a constant and reliable indicator for market reversals. "GANN INTRADAY TRADING - Exposing Market Algorithms: Gann's TIME Secrets Revealed" Now, let me share some golden nuggets of hidden Gann intraday trading strategies. It doesn’t matter if the market is in consolidation—you can still profit if you know exactly when the market will break out of that consolidation phase and begin delivering price in a single direction, also known as expansion. In earlier times, markets were primarily influenced by market makers, but now, price delivery is controlled by algorithms designed to enhance liquidity. With the massive influx of participants in today’s market, these algorithms play a critical role in maintaining liquidity flow. Despite these changes, the core principle remains intact: the market still moves based on mass psychology. Using Gann Astro's hidden techniques, traders can gain an unparalleled edge. For example, I calculated the precise TIME when the market’s price delivery algorithm was set to initiate expansion in a single direction. This predictive ability highlights how mastering these techniques can transform the way you approach market movements. Here’s another example showcasing a bullish scenario using Gann techniques. Take notes carefully because such valuable insights into Gann intraday trading strategies are rarely shared publicly, especially with this level of detail. In this bullish setup, the focus is on identifying key time cycles when the price delivery algorithm aligns with Gann's mathematical principles. By leveraging time-based calculations, I pinpointed the exact moment when the market began expanding upward, indicating a strong bullish movement. This strategy not only highlights the power of Gann’s intraday techniques but also reinforces the critical importance of TIME over PRICE in trading. Mastering these principles can provide a significant edge, allowing you to approach the market with confidence and precision. In the trading world, most market participants focus solely on price while overlooking the critical element that governs market movements: time. Time is fixed, immutable, and unaffected by external manipulation, unlike price, which can be influenced by institutions and market forces. By understanding the concept that "time is fixed, price is an illusion," traders can unlock a method to predict intraday highs and lows with unparalleled precision. This is the essence of the Gann Astro methodology, which reveals the market's natural rhythm and turning points based on time. The power of time-based analysis lies in its ability to expose market manipulation and predict market moves before they happen. Time, unlike price, is the key to decoding the market clock and identifying the exact moments when highs and lows form. With a deeper understanding of this principle, traders can remove guesswork, anticipate market movements, and align themselves with the forces that govern price delivery algorithms. The result is a disciplined, research-backed approach that replaces gambling behavior with a structured trading edge, offering a new perspective on intraday market success. I don’t know if Trading View will recommend this idea to people, but honestly, it’s worth far more than the garbage that gets posted here—signals, scams, and all those misleading strategies that do nothing but trap people in a gambling mindset.

FET 4-hour - AI - "Artificial Superintelligence Alliance"I was and wasn't bummed I sold my initial entry too early. However I shouldn't complain to much making 60% profit on that in less than a month. I decided to play with some house-monies and found a re-entry position to squeeze another scalp trade. I do like the coin and almost wish I would just hodl some large bags worth. This project will probably be one of the successful use cases more like a utility token, having that 3 individual coin projects recently merged into this one. Hence the wording "Alliance". We have indicators like the 4-hour that got low enough in negative territory to have reset and start the trending upwards. Looking for the 4-hour divergence that did not form, however it was turning upwards and I entered into the trade. A few hours later a 1-hour divergence formed and PA started it's march upwards. Looking to reach about a 10% increase in PA and will re-evaluate the trade situation, around the $1.87 level. Why trade FET ? .. it has an outstanding Volatility right now. There will be possibilities and opportunities for multiple short term scalping trades. I have posted Fib lines, triangle structure, and two target "yellow rectangles". I have always used a 2% COT "cost of trading" buffer, it tends to be the maximum cost and a minimum goal to start profit taking. Good Luck
