At first blush there seems to be a lot going on here but spend just a minute to examine the trend lines and thier origins. They're showing you where we'll find support on a bearish move, or resistance on bullish move, far into the future. This is a weekly scale, log chart. Fundamentally, Lisk hasn't been the most exciting blockchain project. However, what they...

It's been a few years since I've posted anything and I don't intend to start up again with any regularity. Posting this Weekly Log scale analysis of Bitcoin by request. The chart was created two and a half years ago, and we featured it along with in-depth analysis on an episode of our show. (I've posted a link to it below). The TL;DR is that bitcoin is still on...

Since I haven't been following or trading Cardano for some time, I have no fundamental data to chase the technicals here. Trade is based on raw pattern identification. Typically I would say to place stops below X, but in this instance it might make the R/R unfavorable for the trade, so use your best judgement based on support levels. For more information on what...

If you were waiting for an "optimal entry" and were dumb enough to miss the last round; amazingly we're getting a second look. I would expect to see a push lower, (hopefully) to the $15 range but with indies bottomed and embedded it could get crazy with a panic spike low. It's worth noting that SCMR is still printing red trend candles. Typically stops would be...

Market opportunities like this don't come along very often. By definition, higher time frame charts are typically better indicators of over all trend than anything intra-day. Oddly, I find not very many traders utilize them. The bullish cypher pattern just completed on Lisk is a strong signal that we'll see a correction. Remains to be seen if it will be sustained...

I've been evangelizing the chat to annoyance, so I thought I'd post a public idea on the issue. About two years ago, after reading into the night (for many nights) on this thing called "ethereum" I was super excited about the tech and it's potential. I'd post about it constantly in the chat, suggest people buy in or at least look into it and give it an honest...

Not a lot to say about this at the moment. There are fundamental influences at work which have forced a break out of the symmetrical triangle to the up side. Standard target on this pattern is a measured move from the first bottom touch of the pattern to the top resistance line. A conservative take profit level would be at #1, where we see an extension of the...

This is a bit granular but I like the way the 4 hr looks. This long trade setup is the coupe de gras on the symmetrical triangle break down. When our long-shot long failed from back on the 7th ( see published chart ), it confirmed the short trade off the triangle. An aggressive entry would have been a candle close below the pattern on higher time frames. More...

Just an interesting observation. While looking at the structure of a number of different "Alt" coins I started to see a pattern. Granted, markets move the way they do because of the actions of the participants- which are more often than not going to be similar to other participants. This is why fibs work, and why there is a known bubble cycle. People are...

The support at this level has been impressive, forcing price to trade in a tightening range for more than a week. What's more impressive is the R/R on a long position from this level (however unlikely). I make no apologies for not being a fan of Ripple and wouldn't mind if it just died, but if we get a break out to the upside it should prove to be a dramatic and...

So I need to start by saying, this bullish Gartley Advanced Pattern is not truly valid. A proper Gartley of any flavor requires a precise .618 retracement of the XA leg, and as you can see, this one missed it's mark by .03. Decide for yourself if you think that's a deal breaker. The 'D' completion point of the pattern sits right on top of the lower trend line....

In the last week, price bounced in-between two SCMR dynamic levels seeking a direction: first off support, then back down from resistance to test and break previous support. This has set us up for possible completion of a bullish Gartley advanced pattern at or near the 'D' point price of 0.00153730 BTC. I could certainly see a panic stab down to the next SCMR...

This is a similar set up to the XMRUSD chart I just posted, but the pattern has yet to properly define itself. In this instance, we would be looking for a break above/close above of the triangle consolidation pattern for a conservative long entry. TP on that long and also a perfect Short entry, will be at the D completion point of a confirmed bat...

Shown is an emerging Bat Pattern coming out of a very strongly trending bullish reversal. Short entry / TP at 'D' completion point. Target 1 is .382 of CD Target 2 is .618. of CD The risk reward on this trade is decent at 2.74, with stops shown at about $18.80 USD for Mega bullish move. In such a situation, I'd expect to see action reach for the upper...

While the ETF winds itself out to conclusion, I would expect to see some "coiling" of price between these upper and lower trend lines. Keep in mind this is a lower time frame trade based on what is arguably weak analysis. Conveniently though, the apex looks to be just about at the decision date. A break above the descending wedge (prior to the March 11th/13th...

Our higher time frame Bullish Gartley has already completed on Bitstamp and the same pattern (pictured above) is about to complete on Finex, having already tapped the buy box. The most recent push to a new local low has also given us a valid C point for a potential Bearish Cypher pattern on both exchanges. Granted that's nothing to write home about for now, but it...

Many people will tell you (vehemently) that this is a bearish cypher pattern because it looks similar, with 'C' extended beyond 'A' to a 1.13 extension of XA. You'll even see the 1.13 'XA' extension for 'C' listed under the Cypher requirements on some websites. *This is not correct*. As Akil Stokes and others from Tradeempowered.com have clarified, the Cypher...

The larger bearish trend appears to have won out yet again, with price slumping away from what was a half hearted attempt by bulls this past month. On the horizon is this beautiful bullish Gartley and even now price is curling in towards 'D' point completion at just above $180. I tend to post quite a few screen shots to TradingView chat. These are made up of...
