EUR/USD Daily - Possible Bullish ReversalTuesdays close on the 1D chart gave us a bullish hammer. Depending on the outcome of Wednesdays daily close we may have a sign for a bullish reversal.
RSI is sitting around 35 which may also give the indication the trend has tired out.
Strategy:
Wait for Wednesday close.
If we close above 1.1025 (the hammers high) then I will be looking for a long position.
If we close below 1.1000 the possibility of bearish continuation is in sight, then I will be opening a short position.

This is not financial advice.
XAU/USD ShortShorting after the overextended hype.
Kept a tight stop-loss, now moving it accordingly. Overbought on the RSI, big rejection candle formed today, waited for the bounce off the new downward trendline. I am keeping a close eye on this pair, for the potential to take profits if we see gold move to higher highs.
Ethereum Double Bottom FormationHi everybody.
Although the price could still drop to 80-100$ zone I consider this time a good purchase opportunity to go LONG.
We have a possible double bottom formation while bouncing on the AB trend (Point C) and also the daily RSI is in oversold zone.
Everything is on the chart.
Best reggards.

XRPUSD 1H BEST %R MOMENTUM STRATEGYStep #1: Define the Trend. An Downtrend is defined by a Series of LH Followed by a Series of LL.
The definition of an downtrend is pretty much standard. In an downtrend, we look for a series of lower highs followed by a series of lower lows. Two LH followed by at least another two LL is enough to define an downtrend.
A lower high is simply a swing low point that is lower than the previous swing high. While a lower low is simply a swing low that is lower than the previous swing low.
All momentum traders know that the trend is our friend. But without momentum behind the trend, we might actually not have any trend.
For active traders, we also look at the actual price action in order to gauge momentum. Besides reading the best momentum indicator.
Step #2: In an Downtrend Look for Bold Candlesticks that Close Near the Lower End of the Candlestick .
A technical analysis concept is that you want to use multiple confirmation signs when buying and selling. This will increase the likelihood that’s a high probability trading setup.
In this regard, the momentum trading strategy besides using the best momentum indicator, also incorporates the price action.
A practical way to read momentum from a price chart is to simply look at the candlestick length. What we want to see in an downtrend is big, bold bearish candlesticks that close near the lower end of the candlestick.
Now, it’s time to focus on the Williams %R. This is the best momentum indicator. Which brings us to the next step of our momentum indicator strategy.
Step #3: Wait for the best Momentum Indicator to get overbought (above -20). Then rallies below the -50 level before Selling .
We’re going to use Williams %R, the best momentum indicator in a smart way. In an downtrend, we sell after the best momentum indicator has reached overbought conditions (above -20). And then rallied back below the -50 level.
Now, we have confirmation from both the price and the best momentum indicator. The real momentum is behind this trend and the probabilities are in favor of more downside prices from here on.
Note* If the best momentum indicator continually stays in oversold territory (below -80 level), it signals a strong momentum and conversely a strong trend. Inversely the same is true in a uptrend.
The next important thing we need to establish is where to place our protective stop loss.
Step #4: Place Your Protective Stop Loss above the Recent Lower Low.
We want to hide our protective stop loss. It is above the most recent lower low level that formed right before the best momentum trading strategy issue the sell signal.
Alternatively, you can also trail your stop loss above each most recent lower low. This strategy will allow you to lock-in the potential profits in case of a sudden market reversal.
Last but not least the momentum indicator strategy also needs a place where we need to take profits, which brings us to the last step of the best momentum trading strategy.
Step #5: You pick your own TP strategy or
Take Profit once we break above the Previous Lower Low
A trend in motion can stay in that state longer than anyone can anticipate. And since we want to maximize our potential profits we let the market tips it hands before liquidating our trades. In this regard, we look for a break in the trend structure. Respectively a break above the most recent lower low.
Alternatively, you can take profit once the best momentum indicator breaks above the -50 level.
Note** The above was an example of a SELL trade using the Best Momentum Trading Strategy. Use the same rules for a BUY trade.
Massive sequence of RSI-Renko DIVINE™ Scalps Following Iran NewsThere were a total of 250-270 points of NQ scalps after the Iran missile strikes going long. If you held the first contract long on the swing trade (1st trade in the direction of the new trend is always the swing trade, marked by a fat arrow) you would have gained another 270 points.
BTCUSD - 5 Day Chart Absolutely PRIMEDThe 5-day BTCUSD chart looks absolutely incredible for a potential bullish push in the coming month or two.
Key takeaways from the current chart:
Support found on the 100 & 200 days SMA.
Stochastic, Stochastic RSI and RSI all starting to trend up from oversold levels (RSI close enough).
Stochastic and Stochastic RSI has been oversold for an extended period of time.
MACD is the only indicator not pointing entirely bullish yet, but if the candle finalizes green, it will likely have all signs pointing to a cross over.
I really can't find much I don't like about the 5-day chart. To me, it's got pretty much everything that I can ask for. The MACD is somewhat slower than the other indicators, so having it not cross over yet is not a deal-breaker what so ever. Even having said that, the MACD histogram has continued shrinking each period and is very small relatively at this point in time.
My last post about BTCUSD was to short the daily chart on 12-31-2019, and to look for the bounce from the bottom BBand for a potential change in trend. Combining my theory from the daily chart, and this 5-day chart I really like the chances of a trend change here.
We may all wish we accumulated more at 7k. If this is the trend change, we could break 2019's highs.

Is the bounce completed? Are bulls ready to overpower bears?Well, watching the shorter 1m, 5m and 15 min charts, I need to take profits off the table back to neutral until the bulls really show up. Bounce players would not be overly convinced here until new short term resistance at 3.03 and $3.07-$3.08 is broken. We have short term support at $2.82. I fear that on any sector or market weakness, the bears will pie drive this down to the low $2s based on the two Bear Flags and Pennant seen this week.
$MED Oversold and Due For A Bounce$MED is now extremely oversold with an RSI just above 20. After missing earnings last Friday, what's notable is that traders did buy the dip and we got a green candle on the day. We believe this is a sign that $MED is now too cheap to ignore. $MED is now trading at just 12x earnings and a PEG of 0.62.

CAE - Ascending Triangle Breakout + Re-testCAE broke out from an Ascending Triangle pattern on November 8th. Since then the price pulled back right to a 50% Fibonacci level where it seems to have found support & is attempting another bullish leg.
I have used the Fibonacci Extension to project three potential price targets at the 50%, 61.8%, & 100% level.
BC - Ascending ChannelStock is exiting an oversold condition while maintaining an RSI above 50 & remaining in its existing ascending channel. This stock is gaining some strength against the SPX as is the Discretionary sector.
I am targeting the channel resistance line or the $65.20 price level as my profit zone.
Bitcoin - follow the liquidityMassive Buy opportunity:
Technometer Oversold and Bullish Divergence
Optimism Pessmism - longer term Bullish divergence
Force - longer term Bullish divergence
It suggests the Manipulators have filled their buy orders, and a move higher is to be expected.
9600 would be a good Take Profit Level.
BITCOIN OVERVIEW : (TF = 4H)When we look at the Bitcoin 4-hour chart, we see that we have to wait carefully.
I think the regions close to support and resistance are not as remarkable as the risk / reward ratio, at least for now.
The reason we wait carefully is that the certain closures just above or below the resistance can be profitable in terms of the risk / reward ratio.
I'm in the news right now, we're closer to a positive break, but need approval.
If I see something, I will share it as a new idea.
$GDOT Looks To Be A Buy Above $25$GDOT has been beaten up pretty badly. The stock just hit new 52-week lows after disappointing 2020 guidance. But we think there's opportunity, especially after traders bought the dip on Friday and we got a green candle. The 52 week high is $86.46 after all, so $GDOT could be in the bargain bin for many.
Green Dot (NYSE:GDOT) plunges 18% after preliminary 2020 guidance discussed in its earnings call disappointed investors and analysts.
CFO Mark Shifke doesn't expect "to guide much more than flat on the top line and perhaps $65M lower year-over-year on adjusted EBITDA" when the company provides formal 2020 guidance on its February earnings call.
Cites combination of reduced interest income due to lower rates, about 150 basis point reduction associated with GDOT's renewal of its Walmart MoneyCard contract, higher SG&A expenses for its banking-as-a-service platform, and higher marketing expenses.
BTIG analyst Mark Palmer writes in a note that that implies FY2020 adjusted EBITDA of $175M-$180M vs. consensus of $273.5M.
He reiterates neutral recommendation.
Quant rating is Very Bearish; Sell-Side average rating is Bullish (5 Very Bullish, 2 Bullish, 9 Neutral).
$GDOT is attractive as it trades at just 11x earnings and 10x next year's earnings.
