AMD Falling Wedge Breakout - BullishWe traded AMD for over 100% leveraged profits a few moths ago. After hitting both our targets it made its way back to support to give us another great opportunity with a perfect RR.
Check out our older trade and it's perfection.
This trade is less convincing than the last, however the stop loss level is clear as there would be no reason to hold the asset below that support.

BTC - Looking For Trend-Following Buy Setups↗️Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst.
Bitcoin has been overall bullish trading inside the rising channel in orange, and it is currently approaching the lower bound of the channel.
Moreover, the zone 27,000 is a demand zone.
🏹 So the highlighted orange circle is a strong area to look for trend-following buy setups as it is the intersection of the blue demand zone and lower orange trendline acting as a non-horizontal support.
As per my trading style:
As BTC approaches the lower orange circle zone, I will be looking for bullish reversal setups (like a double bottom pattern, trendline break , and so on...)
📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.
Good luck!

Longest Consolidation Period Since 00's | 1D, 1W ChartsAAPL Tech Giant vs The World
AAPL has had a rough couple of weeks so to speak. With Treasury yields, to their new iPhone 15 overheating issue, there is much to be said about how this will playout in the long run for AAPL stock. Tech giants 12 month price-to-earnings ratio fell to 27 from 34, but APPL is forecasted to reach higher earnings in Q4 and beyond. September could be said to be a messy month for The Magnificent 7, but hopefully this is the calm before the storm.
1W Chart
- Moving Average: Let me explain why this is such an important indicator. As you can see I have labeled the number of times AAPL ducked bellow the 50 D SMA, and after every duck came a rally to the upside, as soon as it broke through the average. This has been a 15 year trend. Now if it were to duck under the 50 D SMA again, after it already had, then this would be a very bad sign . Expect to be consolidation for God knows how long.
- RSI: In every bull rally, I have shown the average support levels in the RSI, this is to make sure we are staying on trend. Now there is a red line that can be seen at 37, this indicates the lowest level the RSI has gone during a Bull Rally, if it were to break this level, we are now in the longest consolidation period since the 00's.
1D Chart
- Moving average: Nothing fancy, it's there just in case, However, there are important levels that need to be discussed. There are 2 potential levels of support that AAPL needs to hit in order for it not to be considered consolidation. 164 and 157, with 157 being the lowest. Obviously not these exact same numbers but around this area is what we need to be looking at for a couple of days.
- Stoch RSI: Is at a level where we can start breaking higher.
Extra
- Make sure to look at other Tech Giants and Treasury Yields for any correlation, as I did not have the time to include them in this Idea.

AAPL Targets Lower, Be SmartWe are at an interesting zone when it comes to AAPL. It's holding strong above the most relevant pivot low as you'll see in the chart. There is a chance that it can go up fro here so if you would like to long, I would place a stoploss elow the recent wick low. I would also manage my position size so the its a 1% risk on the trade it your stop was to hit.
In the end, when zooming out, I think AAPL will retrace back to the bottom of the channel before pumping higher. There are a few key levels on the way dwn where we can expect a reaction and other trade set ups to play out.
I'm currently long, anticipating a small bounce at these levels, with a 1% stop under the current wick low. Lets see how it all plays out.

MSFT Targets Bottom Of ChannelMSFT has been rejected from the top of the ascending channel and is looking to continue it's sell off to the golden pocket shown in the chart or the bottom of the channel.
not shown on this chart but if you zoom into the 1hr TF or 4hr TF, you'll notice that it did perform a Swing failure pattern and it could move up from these levels but in the upcoming weeks i expect price to continue falling and have a nice reaction at the golden pocket or bottom of the channel.

IBM Bearish Pattern!!!When taking a look at IBM, we an see that it has had an impressive climb over the past few weeks. This bullish climb is also printing a bearish reversal pattern. The rising wedge breaks out to the downside more than it breaks upward. With this being said and the price action approaching the end of the wedge, i would expect a drop from these levels to the next support around 5% down.
If you end up taking a trade, use risk management so you don't lose more than 1%-2% of your account per trade.

Analyzing Nasdaq-100 $NAS100 for Potential Double Top ReversalThe NAsdaq-100 (NAs100) index is currently displaying a classic double top formation on the weekly timeframe, signaling a potential bearish reversal following a robust 7-month rally. This surge was primarily propelled by a select group of companies utilizing AI technology.
A Double Top pattern, characterized by two almost equal peaks, serves as a bearish reversal indicator. It suggests a potential shift from an uptrend to a downtrend, signifying a slowdown in buying pressure and an emerging influence of sellers in the market.
To confirm a downtrend, keen observation of the critical support level at 14,500 is vital. A breach below this level would not only cross the intersecting trendline but could potentially prompt a 5% decline in the index in the short term. Such a move could mark the beginning of a bearish market sentiment.
An intriguing correlation exists with NVIDIA's chart, which shares similarities with this pattern. Thus, it's imperative to closely monitor this tech giant's performance, given its significant influence on the broader tech sector and, consequently, the entire market.
This information should be viewed as guidance and not definitive instructions. Thorough research and consultation with a financial advisor are essential before making any investment decisions.
SP500 - Consolidation before ATHI think that SP500 wont go much lower than where it is right now (Yellow mark), A consolidation for a month or two is more likely before testing ATH. In worst case scenario we could go down to the purple marked area, that is also where the 50% level sits from ATH to the bottom of 2022. A Break below that level would be devastating for the markets which would mean lower for longer.
I see many are calling for a new low of this "bearmarket" which is not my opinion at all, I think we are in a bullmarket since the bottom 2022 and that the recession everyone talks about already happened. I see no reason for us to not break ATH within 6-12 months from here.
Micron Tech forming a flag?MU is very interesting to me at the moment, it's currently formed a flag and as you can see in the chart we have had a steady up trend across the board in both price, RSI and MACD.
You could argue MACD has already broken out of a triangle type formation to the upside even.
The risk-to-reward ratio is quite good, you can place a trade with a stop loss just under the flag and it gives you almost a 9:1 RR. With a more liberal stop loss, you are still
looking at an R:R of almost 3:1.
The main concern here is if the tech sector start lagging in general, this could easily lag with it. Which is why I am inclined to buy the breakout and not the flag formation.

ETH - The Bulls Are Pushing, However...❗️Greetings, TradingView Family! This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst.
Just like BTC, ETH has been bullish the last couple of days and is currently back above the local support (1600.0).
📈 For the bulls to remain in control, it's crucial for ETH to surpass the last high in orange at 1663.0 . If this occurs, we can expect further upward momentum toward 1700.0 blue supply zone.
📉 Meanwhile, ETH would be stuck inside the new range between 1600.0 and 1650.0
📚 Always remember to follow your trading plan when it comes to entry, risk management, and trade management.
Good luck!

SQQQ: Bullish Butterfly with PPO Circle and MACD DivergenceThe SQQQ has given us PPO Confirmation at a potential 1.414 Bullish Butterfly PCZ and has topped it off with MACD Hidden Bullish Divergence. If we are to see the QQQ pull back 50-65% then the SQQQ should go up about 100-200% from here, though I may end up just targeting $32 depending on how fast it goes.
Massive opportunity in the tech sector - Zoom Zoom has flirted around this level for a while now giving us a perfect opportunity to enter a long.
In this set you have to understand the orange support. Why would buyers bring the price back above and confirm it as support once again after all this time? Because sellers failed and are exhausted.
See you at the Take Profits.
BTC - Break or Make Zone ❗️Greetings, TradingView Family! This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst.
on Weekly: Left Chart
🏹 From a macro standpoint, Bitcoin has been predominantly bullish, characterized by higher highs and higher lows.
Moreover, BTC is currently positioned around a robust support level at the psychologically significant round number of 25,000.
📌 As long as the support at 25,000 remains intact, there is an expectation that the bulls may regain control at any moment.
As per my trading style:
I will be looking for bullish setups (like a double top pattern, trendline break, and so on...) to confirm the bulls takeover.
📌 However, it's worth noting that BTC still has the possibility of descending, potentially dipping into the range between 24,300 and 25,000, or even breaching this support level to the downside.
on H4: Right Chart
For the bulls to take over medium-term, we need a break above the last high in red at 26,450.
Meanwhile, BTC can still trade lower, dive inside the green support or even break it downward.
📚 Always remember to follow your trading plan when it comes to entry, risk management, and trade management.
Good luck!

ETH - Medium-Term & Long-Term View 🔎Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst.
on DAILY: Left Chart
ETH is still overall bearish trading inside the falling channel in red.
This week, ETH broke below the 1650.0 support zone, hence we are expecting further bearish movement till the 1500.0 support.
As ETH approaches the 1500.0 support which is intersecting with the lower red trendline, we will be expecting the bulls to kick in.
on H4: Right Chart
In parallel, for the bulls to take over again, we need a break back above the 1620.0 resistance zone.
For now, we wait ⏱
Which scenario do you think is more likely to happen? and why?

Tech performance after peak valuation?Tech stocks have been soaring, but can this outperformance be sustained or will this artificial intelligence (AI) driven boom mimic the internet explosion and subsequent bust of the 2000-2002 period?
Today, gains in the sector are concentrated in large companies like Nvidia and Meta, with year-to-date (YTD) returns standing at 225% and 148% respectively, subsequently causing the Nasdaq 100 to outperform the S&P 500 by around 25% YTD1, mostly due to its extra weighting in the Tech sector (~60% vs ~27%)2.
This rally has been accompanied by a significant expansion in valuation multiples, specifically the price-to-sales (P/S) ratio. Particularly relevant for the Tech sector, the P/S ratio offers a way to evaluate companies that may not yet be profitable but are generating sales—a common scenario among new and innovative firms. For many in the Tech sector today, this ratio has soared to unprecedented levels.
At the end of March 2023, Nvidia became the company with the highest P/S ratio in both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices. It has only increased since then, reaching a P/S ratio of over 40, which is based on the trailing 12 months of sales. Nvidia’s quarterly earnings report, however, did forecast a large (60%) jump in future sales, so analysts are now pricing in future sales which brings down the multiple to 25 times expected sales over next 12 months3.
This leads us to our key question: based on a historical sample of companies that have reached these valuations in the past, what are the chances that Nvidia can continue to outperform?
The research in this piece will explore the implications of high P/S valuations, which will be defined as 25 or over (coincident with Nvidia’s price over expected sales), on future company performance.
P/S ratios: from rarity to normality
From the late 1960s to the early 1990s, it was uncommon to find a company with a P/S ratio over 25. When it did happen, it was one or two firms each year, and the percentage of the total market cap they represented was negligible.
Today, high P/S ratios have become routine, especially in the Tech sector: is this the new normal?
The tech bubble of 1999-2002 saw a drastic surge in companies with high P/S ratios. In 1999, there were 56 companies with a P/S ratio over 25, representing over 6% of the total market cap. The trend peaked in 2000, with 113 companies and over 10% of the total market cap. For most of the 2000s, several companies each year reported a P/S ratio over 25, making up a small but not insignificant portion of the total market cap.
The COVID-19 era of 2019-2023 saw another surge in high P/S ratios. In 2020, there were 32 companies with P/S ratios over 25, making up 1.10% of the total market cap. The trend extended into 2021 when 44 companies contributed to 2.46% of the total market cap. This shift was partly propelled by an influx of high-profile initial public offerings (IPOs), as newly public companies often command high valuations. The momentum shows no signs of waning in 2023, with over a dozen companies already boasting a 25 P/S in Q1 alone—the majority of which are tech stocks.
Dynamics of top P/S stocks
Within the universe of the top 500 largest US companies by market capitalisation, 99 companies have reached the distinction of having the highest P/S ratio of all companies since the 1960s. Nvidia now holds this title today.
The Tech sector takes the lion's share of the highest multiple stocks, representing 27.3% of the companies, followed by the Health and Energy sectors, accounting for 22.2% and 17.2% respectively. To understand the dynamics of the companies with the top P/S ratio, we examined their performance over various periods following the point at which they claimed the top spot. We scrutinised their returns over the subsequent 1, 3, 5-year periods, and until the end of sample or March 2023.
An interesting pattern emerged. In the year following the point when a stock takes the top spot for the P/S ratio for the first time, these companies continued outperforming—on average beating the S&P 500 by almost 1.5%.
But their momentum falters in the years that follow; within the next three years, their average annual return declines to -4.4%, and the five-year average annual return fell further to -1.5%. Notably, the markets were annualising over 9% over those next 3-5 years, so their under-performance versus the market was more than double digits. When we take the entire history of these stocks, their average return still falls short of the market by over 12% a year.
Even when we break it down by sector, it seems as though once a company reaches the position of ‘top P/S’, it struggles to maintain its momentum and keep up with the market. Tech and Health sectors, those with the most companies appearing in this top spot, don’t even outperform in the short term, but have negative returns on average.
Declining odds of out-performance
Looking at all 2691 companies that have been in the largest 500 at some point, the tables below show how frequently companies reach a specific P/S threshold, and the odds that it will outperform the market in the next 1,3,5,10, and 20 years.
For the 231 companies that have reached a P/S over 25, they only outperformed the market in the next year 21% of the time, with a median relative return of -36%. Over longer horizons, this percentage worsens, reaching 9% over the next 3 years, and 4% over the next 20 years. For higher P/S ratios (>40) it’s even less likely to outperform the market on all time frames. The odds become stacked against you having a winning long-term stock at these valuations.
The market has seen a shift in recent years, with high price-to-sales (P/S) ratios becoming increasingly common, particularly in the Tech sector. Our analysis suggests that an overemphasis on high P/S stocks may falter in the long run, as it may prove difficult for these companies to sustain the rapid growth required to justify these valuations and continue their performance trajectory.

PayPal added to the watchlistShares of PayPal lost nearly 82% of their value since the top in July 2021, and judging solely by this metric, one could consider the stock cheap. Nonetheless, there is more to it. In 2022, PayPal saw its revenue increase by 8% on a yearly basis and transaction volume grow by 16%. In addition to that, the company processed 22.3 billion payments and $1.36 trillion in total payment volume, with active accounts rising by 2% YoY to 435 million. However, its operating margin dropped by 10% and net income by 42% (using GAAP accounting).
In the first quarter of 2023, the company delivered better results compared to the first quarter of 2022, with net revenue growing 9% YoY, operating income by 41% YoY, earnings per share by 62% YoY, and net income by 56% YoY. As for the second quarter of 2023, the company reported a further increase in net revenues by 7% YoY, operating income by 48% YoY, and earnings per share by 414% YoY. In this quarter, PayPal generated $1.029 billion in net income compared to the loss of $341 million a year earlier.
Based on some of the fundamental improvements and cheap valuation, we think PayPal is growing increasingly attractive and worth watching out for. However, we would like to emphasize that the stock keeps making lower lows and lower highs. Thus, entering the trade is still quite risky. One alternative to approach this situation is to wait for a price to break above the upper bound of the channel and place a long entry there with stop-loss below the bound.
