Reading Charts in Real Time

I'd consider a long here, however I was expecting price to pull back a little furher before it resumes the rally up to the area of resistance...

 

Also, you can see the trade from last night that I didn't take due to my drive home made it to profit target! :angry:;) I should have probably entered when it pulled back to entry. Oh well...shouldawouldacoulda.

Sorry Cory :crap: - I apologise - I saw the date at the top of the chart - and Sunday thinking led me to the conclusion as the expiry was due. I also completely forgot you are trading the spot, not futures. Still, always a good reminder for myself. :)

But what are you going to do about it?

 

Just keeping my eye out for a long sequence...I didn't feel that Friday's low was strong enough support to outright buy at that level...

 

Also, on the 4hr chart, we've reached an area of prior consolidation (support), so I'm hoping for a nice long sequence in the near future...

Pulled it for -0.65R...

 

The sequence was sort of tight/small to be a reversal of the move...I just thought it'd be worth a shot for a long, seeing as we were in my shaded area of prior consolidation. I set my PT fairly nearby, since I expected a pull back before a continued rally...

 

I'll really be looking to go long once price contacts either my blue horizontal line or the uptrend line...

I'd consider a short at the break of the blue line on my 13 range chart...

 

Looks like I should have stuck with this plan! I can't believe there's been this huge down move and I haven't taken a penny out of it...no worse...I've lost money attempting to fade it...;)

Look how that line of resistance and trendline converged so nicely. There couldn't have been a better time to go short. :crap::crap::crap:

 

Oh well, enough focusing on the shouldawouldacoulda. MOVING ON...

Long filled.........

 

Update:

 

I've moved my stop...if I get stopped out before that high is broken, I'll have an order in for a re-entry until about 2:30 PM EDT. Other than that, I'm probably done for the day....

Gotta say...this PA sort of resembles a bear flag...I wouldn't be opposed to a short...

 

(Of course I still have my eye out for long opportunities...I expect price will eventually trade up to the resistance I keep talking about.)

 

But then again, who knows what might happen...tomorrow being an FOMC day...

 

EDIT: I could also see a 123 forming out of this (see my second image). So, if I took a short, I'd be cautious...

Heavy down day that seemed to come out of nowhere as Europe was starting to awaken. I planned yesterday very poorly. Giving up on the R at HOD being useful was a mistake. A better idea would have been to have a plan if that R was to hold. My long bias was too dominant, so much so that I neglected the R still in the process of being resolved. Shame on me. Moving on then, price is back to the pivotal minor S/R and would prefer this to hold for a solid case to the long side. Keep that long bias in check today and have short scenarios should this S break.

 

Attention Points

1.5240/80 refined zone within upper R just prior to exhaust low

1.5140/200 rally high R zone

++ 1.5048 ----------------

1.4980/5020 pivotal minor S

1.4940/60 minor S

1.4850/900 last S before capitulation low

1.4783 capitulation low

 

At this pivotal minor S is a good spot to look for longs, although this S/R has been used more a flip spot than a rejection spot so keep that in mind. I will take 1/4 off before 1.5060 trades, another 1/4 before 1.5090 trades, another 1/4 before 1.5140 trades and trail the rest for a move into 1.5240/80.

 

It's easy to look at the chart and see lower prices because of yesterdays heavy selling. That puts the obvious play for me to sell the flip of the pivotal minor S/R. If able to sell the upper edge (1.5020 area) then target 1/4 at the lower edge (1.4980 area), another 1/4 before 1.4940 trades, another 1/4 before the last low of 1.4873 and trail the rest for a possible move to new lows.

 

Alternatively, we may rally up and test the 2 recent pivot highs in the rally high R zone. Shorts there will target 1/2 before 1.5080 trades, another 1/4 before 1.5020 trades, another 1/4 before 1.4960 trades, trail the rest for a test of last S before capitulation low.

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94. The AUDNZD spiked to 2-year highs amid speculation the RBNZ will cut the official cash rate by more than 50 bps next week. Oil surged 2.12% to $70.46. Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
