USDJPY Analysis : Bearish Setup from Reversal Zone + Target⚠️ Overview: The USDJPY 4H chart reveals a smart money-driven bearish setup, unfolding precisely from a major Reversal Zone, which aligns with a key supply area. Price action is now offering high-probability short trade opportunities, supported by structural breaks, clear CHoCHs (Change of Character), and BOS (Breaks of Structure). 🔎 Detailed Technical Breakdown: 🔹 Bearish Pattern + Channel Formation: The pair formed a bearish price pattern earlier, which initiated the previous downtrend. This move developed into a well-formed descending channel, showing controlled distribution from the institutional side. The channel break marked a liquidity grab below previous lows, trapping retail sellers before shifting structure. 🔹 Channel Insider Demand + Breakout: After reaching the Channel Insider Demand, USDJPY made a strong bullish push, causing a Minor BOS — a sign of temporary bullish pressure. However, this move served to rebalance price into a premium zone, which is the current Reversal Zone. This zone lies near previous imbalance/fair value gaps and coincides with a supply structure, making it a high-reaction area. 🔹 Reversal Zone (Premium Area): Price tapped the Reversal Zone and began rejecting aggressively. This reaction indicates the presence of large sellers and order blocks. The current price action now displays a Minor CHoCH, suggesting a short-term bearish shift in order flow. This is a textbook case of premium vs. discount pricing, where price seeks liquidity above recent highs before reversing to more balanced zones. 🔹 Price Flow Expectations (Downside Targets): The first confirmation of bearish continuation will come with a clean break below the Minor CHoCH level (~144.400). Following that, momentum is expected to carry USDJPY toward: 🥇 Target 1: 144.00 – Local support / liquidity pocket 🥈 Target 2: 143.00 – Key psychological & structural support 🥉 Target 3: 142.00–142.50 Zone – Marked as the Next Reversal Zone, which could act as demand This setup remains valid as long as the price remains below 147.200, which is the high of the Reversal Zone. A breakout above this invalidates the bearish thesis. 🧠 MMC (Mind Market Curve) Interpretation: The chart clearly respects Mind Curve Theory structure: CHoCH/BOS confirms internal order flow Reversal zone is placed at a curve top (premium) Support base (discount zone) is yet to be revisited The curve shape guides a possible rounded rejection scenario, pushing price down into the major support, aligning with smart money liquidity grab behavior. 📊 Strategic Insight: This is a classic smart money trap — fake bullish breakout, quick grab of early breakout traders’ stops, followed by a decisive turn from supply. Traders should monitor: Candle structure at current levels Reaction to minor CHoCH zone (~144.400)

The profitability of TA trading rules in the Bitcoin market█  The profitability of technical trading rules in the Bitcoin market The Bitcoin market, known for its wild fluctuations, poses a unique challenge for traders: Is it possible to consistently profit using technical trading rules? Recent research analyzing Bitcoin's price data from July 2010 to January 2019 has shed light on this question, focusing on the effectiveness of seven trend-following indicators. The research was conducted by Gerritsen et al. Notably, the trading range breakout rule emerged as a promising strategy, often outperforming the traditional buy-and-hold approach. █  Some Background into the Bitcoin Market Bitcoin's price path suggests market inefficiency, likely due to its short history and the erratic behaviors of market participants. Previous studies on Bitcoin's efficiency mainly focused on its predictability from a random walk perspective, leaving the performance of technical trading rules on Bitcoin prices largely unexplored. The core aim of this study is to examine the profitability of technical trading rules, specifically to determine if these rules can surpass a basic buy-and-hold strategy. By applying seven well-documented trading rules and analyzing their performance through the Sharpe ratio, the study seeks to provide practical insights for Bitcoin traders. █  Methodology The study uses daily price data from July 17, 2010, to December 31, 2018, totaling 3,084 daily observations. Gerritsen and team removed a brief period in 2011 due to a Mt. Gox hack and integrated data from Coinmarketcap starting April 28, 2013. The research also considers the risk-free rate, using 3-month US Treasury bill returns for its analysis. █  Trading Rules Analyzed 1. Moving Averages (MA): This strategy issues buy signals when the recent price or its short-term average exceeds a longer-term average and sell signals in the opposite scenario. It tested combinations like 1-day vs. 50-day, 2-day vs 150-day, and 5-day vs 200-day averages. 2. Trading Range Breakout (TRB): It looks for price breakouts beyond the highest and lowest prices of a predefined period (50, 150, 200 days), signaling buys for breakouts above the high and sells below the low. 3. Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD): The MACD rule uses two exponential moving averages (EMAs), and triggers buy signals when the MACD line (the difference between a 12-day and a 26-day EMA) is above zero, and sell signals when it is below zero. It also examines the MACD signal line and MACD histogram as additional signals. 4. Rate of Change (ROC): This rule compares the current price with the price n days ago (commonly 10 days) to determine market momentum and issue buy/sell signals. The rule suggests buying when the ROC is positive, indicating upward momentum, and selling when it is negative, indicating downward momentum. 5. On-Balance-Volume (OBV): This volume-based indicator predicts price movements based on volume flow, asserting that volume changes precede price changes. The study applied MA rules to the OBV to generate signals, buying when the short-term MA of OBV crosses the long-term MA from below, and selling when it crosses from above. 6. Relative Strength Index (RSI): A momentum oscillator that identifies overbought or oversold conditions, suggesting buy signals when below 30 and sell signals above 70. 7. Bollinger Bands (BB): This strategy uses a moving average with upper and lower bands based on standard deviations from the MA, issuing buy signals when the price touches the lower band and sell signals at the upper band. █  Strategies and Evaluation The study applied each trading rule in three distinct strategies: Literal Interpretation: Buying or selling Bitcoin directly based on the signal, including short positions. Long Positions Only: Considering only buy signals due to the practical challenges of shorting Bitcoin on many exchanges. Default Long Position with Adjustment on Signals: Maintaining a default long position, doubling investment on buy signals, and moving to risk-free assets on sell signals. The performance of these strategies was evaluated using the Sharpe ratio, comparing the excess returns of the trading strategies over the risk-free rate to their volatility. A higher Sharpe ratio indicates a more efficient risk-adjusted return. The study used bootstrapping to assess the statistical significance of the Sharpe ratio differences between each trading rule strategy and a benchmark buy-and-hold strategy. █  Key Findings The study finds mixed results across different technical trading strategies when applied to Bitcoin. Notably, the trading range breakout (TRB) rule consistently offers higher Sharpe ratios than a buy-and-hold strategy, signifying its superior performance. On average, TRB strategies yield a Sharpe ratio of around 0.08, marking them as statistically significant against the buy-and-hold benchmark. This rule's success is further highlighted in specific periods, such as 2011–2012, 2013–2014, and 2017–2018, where its Sharpe ratios were notably higher than those of the buy-and-hold approach. The significant outperformance in these periods underscores the TRB rule's adaptability to market dynamics. While most other technical trading rules did not consistently outperform the buy-and-hold strategy, certain strategies like MACD showed significant outperformance in specific applications (Strategy 2), illustrating the nuanced effectiveness of technical trading rules in the Bitcoin market. Counter-trend indicators, such as the Relative Strength Index and Bollinger Bands, generally underperformed compared to the buy-and-hold benchmark, sometimes yielding negative Sharpe ratios. █  Sensitivity to Market Conditions The effectiveness of the TRB strategy, in particular, seems to be highly dependent on the prevailing market conditions. During periods of strong trends (either bull or bear markets), the TRB rule demonstrated notable outperformance. However, during more stable periods, like 2015–2016, the TRB rule and most other trading rules did not show a significant advantage over the buy-and-hold strategy, aligning with the adaptive market hypothesis suggesting that the performance of trading strategies is contingent upon environmental factors. █  Limitations and Future Research One notable limitation is the focus solely on Bitcoin, leaving the question of whether these findings can be generalized to other cryptocurrencies. Additionally, the analysis does not account for transaction costs, potentially affecting the trading strategies' profitability. Future research is encouraged to extend the investigation to other leading cryptocurrencies and to consider the impact of transaction costs on the profitability of the trading range breakout rule and other technical trading strategies. █  Reference Gerritsen, D.F., et al.

AUDUSD BEAR FLAG 30/05/2023 IDEA UPDATEHi Traders! Our AUDUSD bear flag idea on the 30/05/2023 (LINK TO ORIGINAL IDEA BELOW) broke and closed to the downside of the flag around 0.64904 to fulfil our idea. We got to the 0.64583 level (near our 0.64500 forecast) when we noticed a big volume spike on our volume indicator. This let us know that a lot of traders were exiting positions due to the May 2023 Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) announcement tomorrow. The market is now thin and volatile, so 0.64583 was a great exit price if you entered and held from the flag breakout at 0.64904. We will continue to analyse the markets and inform you if any opportunities arise, but please be careful as the markets are very thin and there is a current lack of volume due to the NFP announcement tomorrow.

POTENTIAL LONGER TERM BUY OPPORTUNITY IN SUSHIUSDTThanks for reading my previous post on AUDNZD,ADAUSDT,BTCUSDT,ONEUSDT and now SUSHI USDT I believe there is a value BUY now on SUSHI USDT to hold for a longer term based on technicals and new fundamental development in the DEFI space. There is huge opportunity for the SUSHI PLATFORM to explode as it delves into different forms of Yield Farming and also helping users to lower cost across many chains of interoperability. My first scenario of short opportunity is currently playing out and it's nearing my new buy entry for a longer term @ near $4.50. This is the scenario am voting for should in case the Crypto market choose to move 100X. I hope you enjoy reading this and hopefully profit from it

$XLY potential breakoutXLY Consumer Discretionary SPDR ETF saw a buyer of the 12/17 187C for $2.5M in premium last week Top holdings are AMAZON and TESLA. I like both these stocks from a technical perspective and a "cheaper" trade would be to go long XLY :) (Higher premiums on AMZN and TSLA). From a technical perspective XLY has bullish Momo and a strong close above 21EMA. Looking for a $186 blue sky breakout this week and she can really fly. Also worth noting 9/20 Wyckoff "more effort less result" which is a bullish indication - notice the high volume from the sellers (exhaustion) with price action staying above the 8/17 lows.
