BST
- First time doing a written analysis on BST
- Stock re-started trading in late July
- Since then, has had a 50% increase with nice uptrends
- A nice test of the short-term average and a successful rebound will present a good entry opportunity
- Stock volume is roughly less than 100k -> Illiquid stocks could mean that the stock may have sudden strong movements
- Price action over the last 2 months shows quite healthy price volatility
- A successful rebound close to 3.45 levels would represent a successful rebound
- R is borderline 10%

ABB
- First time doing a written analysis on ABB
- In last night’s FB livestream, I suggested a breakout entry if believe the stock was capable of forming new all-time highs
- Today, the stock created a new ATH but quickly retraced to form a bearish pin bar
- Historically, the stock has had periods of uptrends interrupted by long periods of sideways consolidation
- Stock is currently trading a resistance zone (blue highlighted zone)
- A breakout entry would mean entering at a price that is far from the short-term support
- Due to today’s bearish pin bar with above average volume, the entry for setup is on the risky side
- R is more than 10%
- Strategy-to-buy (DYOR) – Suggest waiting for a better setup for entry
MONEY: IN SMALL TRENDSIn my own methodology I've shown in other charts that, it doesn't matter which time frame you make your money. I even showed a 3 min trend on one occasion. All this true is trend-following - which is different to following a moving average of some sort. The ATR line reacts differently to price fluctuations.
The important thing is to minimise losses.
This chart is a 15 min time frame. It's of little value now because the start of the trend is where you want to be. But for the future I'm showing where the entry point is. Similar strategies can be used on other time frames.
1. See the trend breaking down and fighting to stay afloat.
2. See the double top on the 15 min time frame.
3. See price collapse.
4. See the rebound to 0.5% fib.
Experience is required with all this. In this scenario the stop-loss could have been just above 0.618. That was an unlikely rebound in this particular scenario because price was struggling already. (In other scenarios where price isn't struggling as much I've seen retracements to 0.76 and above).
Please note carefully: true trend following is a higher risk strategy but also an exceptionally higher reward strategy. It loses far more often than other strategies. But numbers of losses mean little. Why? It's the aggregate of the minority of big gains well outweighing minimised greater numbers of small losses. It certainly isn't for 'everybody'.
In he captioned scenario, nobody knows how far that 15 min trend will go. NOBODY! For trend-followers in this scenario, the exit would be the amber line. In other words, the market shows the entry point and the exit point. That's very scary.
See same strategy on the lowly 3 min time frame below

Can Apple Bounce?Apple is experiencing a weak September, but a quick inspection on the monthly
timeframe shows price is now finding support at a resistance level turned support.
This level is based on the January 2021 high at $145. Price initially broke above
this level in July 2021 and started pulling back this month.
Last week price opened below this level but closed above it, closing with
a strong bearish candle.
We have the $150 round number above price, so even if we start to see bullish
momentum, this will be the first hurdle for price to get through. The next
hurdle will be the all-time high at $157.
As the overall trend is bullish, we anticipate a bounce from support. If the
long-term trend is as strong as before, it should make light work of the
resistance hurdles in the way.
As we have positions already running, we will look for compounding
opportunities once we begin to see breakouts.
See below for more information on our trading techniques.
As always, keep it simple, keep it Sublime.
Another Rally For Bitcoin Due?Bitcoin is currently going through a stagnant phase as it is moving sideways
and not moving much in either direction.
December 2020 to April 2021 was a good run for Bitcoin as it experienced
a move from $19,700 to over $64,800.
The decline that followed brought price to the 50 simple moving average.
The first contact was made in June then again in July.
The July move took price up to $52,000 with a nice clean move but a pullback
from early September followed this. Price has come close to the 50 simple
moving average this month but found support just above this indicator.
The 50 simple moving average is just around $40,000, strengthening this area
as a potential support level.
Bitcoin may still see another rally if price can find its footing at support and
build the momentum to then go on and create new all-time highs.
See below for more information on our trading techniques.
As always, keep it simple, keep it Sublime.

- Previous analysis was done on 13 Sep -> suggested waiting for successful rebound to around 43.00 levels before plotting entry
- Since then, the stock did not recover to around 43 levels
- Instead, the stock closed below the mid-term support last Friday
- In last night’s livestream, I shared that I was still holding the stock and I’m going to risk some of my unrealised gains to see if the stock is capable of an immediate recovery
- Today, it closed above the mid-term resistance by the skin of its teeth
- I’m still concerned by the lack of buying volume returning -> an important criteria that can drive a strong rebound
- A successful rebound will be at 42.50 levels
- R is less than 10%
- Strategy-to-buy (DYOR) – Suggest waiting for a series of HHs and HLs

- Previous analysis was done on 7 Sep -> suggested half entry around 310 levels if comfortable with overhead resistance zone
- Since then, the stock continues to be bounded by the overhead resistance zone (blue shaded area) and the counter-trendline (purple dash line)
- As mentioned in last night’s livestream, I raised my concerns that the stock might experience a retracement
- Stock closed below the short-term average -> we could see a test of the mid-term support this week
- A successful rebound would be when the stock goes back to 310 levels
- R is below 10%
- Strategy-to-buy (DYOR) – Suggest half entry around 310 levels if comfortable with overhead resistance zone

- Previous analysis was done on 23 Sep - Suggested waiting for successful breakout of 4.60 levels accompanied with strong volume before plotting entry
- After last Friday’s gap up and quick retracement, I thought the stock would retrace to the short-term support again
- Today, the stock closed above the resistance with slightly above average volume
- Stock looks to be a bit far from short-term support -> slightly higher risk
- Continued price action above today’s high would be a successful breakout
- Increased trading volume would be another good confirmation
- R is borderline 10%
- Strategy-to-buy (DYOR) – Suggest entry above today’s high if believe the stock is capable of forming new all-time highs

27 SEP 2021 – Market Watch
As mentioned in last night’s livestream, the ASX 200 is currently trading in No Man’s Land. This is a zone where it is trading in a band that is bounded by a strong resistance (7400 levels) and strong support (7250 levels).
Usually, when an index or stock is stuck in No Man’s Land, there needs to be a strong catalyst to break either the resistance/support. With the markets still feeling the unease stemming from Evergrande’s missed interest payment last Thursday and the continued lack of clarity on the US Fed’s tapering plans, I fear we might continue to be stuck in this tight band (blue shaded zone) for at least the coming week.
The best-case scenario is if there is a successful push to 7500 levels and beyond. If it happens, I would be more bullish on the market. As it is, I am more trigger happy when deciding to trim positions. If Evergrande somehow presents a huge contagion effect at a global level similar to Lehman Brothers, the ASX 200 will likely drop to possibly even break 7150 levels.
88% of my stocks are green today. How about you?

ABNB: RECOVERY PLAY, ICHIMOKU ANALYSISABNB :
Another reopening play, people looking to travel again.
Ichimoku analysis on daily:
The price is currently blocked by the cloud. Pressure is building to reintegrate the cloud.
The lagging span (green line) has broken the Tenkan (blue line) and is heading for a test of the Kinjun (dark red line), the flat zone of the Kinjun is our 1st target/resistance at 156 (providing the price can reintegrate the cloud).
This is what I'm playing now with a long trade.
The next step will be for the price to reach the top of the clouds (and maybe break out of it) and the lagging span to break the Kinjun, confirming the change of trend.
Note how Ichimoku is precise, all flat zones (of clouds and Laggin span) represent former supports and resistances (the 4 targets on the chart).
On a separate note you can see a sort of ascending triangle on the daily chart.
Trade safe!
More on Ichimoku (by Investopedia):
The Ichimoku Cloud is a collection of technical indicators that show support and resistance levels, as well as momentum and trend direction. It does this by taking multiple averages and plotting them on a chart. It also uses these figures to compute a “cloud” that attempts to forecast where the price may find support or resistance in the future.
Key takeaways:
The Ichimoku Cloud is composed of five lines or calculations, two of which comprise a cloud where the difference between the two lines is shaded in.
The lines include a nine-period average, a 26-period average, an average of those two averages, a 52-period average, and a lagging closing price line.
The cloud is a key part of the indicator. When the price is below the cloud, the trend is down. When the price is above the cloud, the trend is up.
The above trend signals are strengthened if the cloud is moving in the same direction as the price. For example, during an uptrend, the top of the cloud is moving up, or during a downtrend, the bottom of the cloud is moving down.
