Bitcoin getting bullied by the bearsIchimoku
We see from our Ichimoku that there is indecision in the market. Chikou span is under price, and Kijun sen is on top of price. Both of these indicate the trend will need more steam if the bulls want to hold this uptrend today. Tenkan sen indicates potential market trending. Senkou span A&B are acting as resistance and have been widening as volatility increases.
MACD/StochasticRSI/ADX
MACD - Showing a bullish crossover which is a good sign
Stochastic RSI - Currently the RSI bounced off the ceiling. Indicating potential oversold conditions. Ideally we want to see a bullish bounce before we drop below 50
ADX - ADX is very low at 25 indicating the bulls that are trending upwards on the current candle do not hold a very strong trend and tells us the price may continue its downward move through the bearish channel.
Chart/Candlestick Patterns
We see the price has been moving through a falling wedge in a bearish channel. This is a good indication we will see a bullish move in the next few days. There is room for the price to fall. If the price does not break upward of its falling wedge we could see a drop to the ~7.2k/7.4k/7.6K levels. If we can break to the upside of the falling wedge we have room to move up to ~9.3k.
Our previous run from 8.1-8.6k 20 hours ago was met by a evening star candle. Watch for the current candle to form an inverted hammer and form a morning star reversal.

Elliot Wave:
currently in the wave 4 correction zone. I see further downside to reach closer to wave 1 zone before making its final push upside to complete wave 5
Notes:
Late post, Entry made overnight. Already in profit at posting.
at 1am placed an entry above the fib .764 level where my 20 pip sl would overlap the recent swing high. Price was still around the low point of the last swing low. I placed the entry in hopes price goes to the 764 level and continues the downside trend.
evening star formed around the 764 fib retracement jut breaking the 200 sma.
stochastic showed overbought with several repushes into the overbought zone before it reversed
macd histogram showed momentum slowing to the upside as the evening star high was retested
TP Goal around 40 pips
What can go wrong:
its possible we wont see further drop to retest the wave 1 high and we just blow past to wave 5 and create a new high

looking for an ABC C point final termination closer to the wave 3/4 zone of the last elliot wave uptrend and close to the 200sma on the hourly chart.
Notes:
Evening star formed around the 618 fib retracement. I set my entry at the .764 above the morning star to allow for better entry
stochastic showing overbought with a sligh divergence to the downside
macd still showing decrease in upside momentum
What can go wrong:
SL is set above elliot wave A point correction low. I could be wrong about C point making a final low closer to the 200sma and we could be at a new uptrend elliot wave extension at which point the current C point would be the starting point of the new elliot wave to the upside and A correction would be broken closing out my trade.

What can go wrong:
SL set just above wave 3 last high and price could end up going straight for the completion of elliot wave 5 and blow past wave 3 last high point, at which point I would get stopped out.

Elliot Wave:
Completion of wave 5
final wave 5 completion of the upside wave, terminating in the wave 3/4 zone of the previous wave down
this also completed a giant ABC correction from the previous downtrend wave.
this may be the start of a new long term downtrend. Looking forward to an ABC correction down to the wave 3/4 area of the current wave.
Notes:
Posted late since position was opened while I was asleep waiting for NFP.
morning star formed after a big upswing.
stochastic showing oversold and having trouble moving to the downside to fully correct
macd still showing upside momentum slowing down.
With NFP coming up at 530am, I have placed an entry 10 pips above the highest swing, looking for a downside retracement around the .50 fib level and above the 200sma
What can go wrong:
NFP is a dangerous play and could completely blow past the SL or have such great volatility that it triggers the SL even though it goes in the correct direction.

Notes:
Evening star forming inside ema/sma zone, under 200sma at fib .618 level and just under elliot wave 1 zone
stochastic showing overbought
macd starting to show decrease in upward momentum
What can go wrong:
Might see price enter .764 fib before actual reversal to the downside
might see price stop shy of .236 if this is an upside elliot wave

BACK IN THE DOWNTRENDCHANNEL v2so the daily has turned into an evening star and bulltrap. As for now the 200 EMA looks like strong support, but because the dailycandle is an evening star the next few daily candles are going to be red. That's why I think it will fall through it
the wave to the bottom of the trend channel didn't go down as I predicted in my last TA, but the pattern just got moved up to the evening star. If the support holds for a while and then drops later the wave could end up higher.
Depending on how this week will turn out we will either see a reversal at the the bottom of the green uptrendchannel and end of the wave (9.900-10.000), the fib0.618 or fib0.5 line. When this happens we might form another Inv H&S pattern. and shoot straight up to 13.2k
if these levels don't hold you should panic because the weekly candle is going to be a graveyard doji. the bottom would be around 5-6k.
good luck trading
Evening Star in EURUSDYesterday, a beautiful evening star completed at a resistance level, which resulted in a distinctive swing low from July 2012. Also, the CCI turned again under the +100.
Only the volume does not play quite well because no increasing volume will be seen in the down move.
However, this formation was confirmed with lower prices than yesterday.
Reverse pattern in EURUSDA beautiful reverse pattern in the EURUSD invites to a short trade.
What are the signs for a short?
perfect evening star formation
CCI turns again below 100
overdue correction
changing monetary policy
How could a trade look like?
There are several possibilities.
Short-term trade: Entry immediately, SL at 1.1979 and TP at 1.1718
Medium to long-term trade: Entry immediately, SL at 1.21 and TP at 1.15
