ETHEREUM (ETHUSD): How to Catch The Next Bullish MoveWe are seeing a significant potential for a bullish trend to persist on ETHEREUM, the current setup appears encouraging, indicating a possible bullish breakout. To take advantage of the upcoming bullish momentum, it's advisable to wait for a breakout above the 3945 - 4110 blue range. A bullish violation of this area will likely lead to further growth towards the all-time high. Obviously, ETHEREUM is somewhat overbought in the short term, but we have also observed a corrective movement from the highlighted resistance level first.

XAU/USD Strategy: Selling Rallies Amid Bearish StructureIn my analysis of XAU/USD yesterday, I highlighted that after the 800-pip drop, a rebound was likely. However, given the weekly Pin Bar and the bearish daily structure, I emphasized that any upward move should be viewed as a correction and an opportunity to sell. Indeed, the market did see a rebound, but it was weak and short-lived. After reaching the 2665 zone, the price reversed to the downside and ended the day with minimal change. Currently, the price sits at 2652, with the recent lows now acting as confluent support, reinforced by the rising trendline from the recent bottom. A decisive break below this support zone would shift focus to the next key level at 2610-2615. My strategy remains unchanged: I continue to look for selling opportunities on rallies.

Mastering RSI: The Complete and CORRECT Way to Trade ItThe Relative Strength Index (RSI) is one of the most popular and widely used indicators in trading. Despite its prevalence, many traders misuse it or are unaware of its full potential. RSI isn't just about identifying overbought and oversold conditions; when applied correctly, it becomes a robust tool for trend confirmation, reversals, momentum acceleration, and much more. This guide explores how to unlock the full power of RSI and avoid common pitfalls. What Is RSI? Developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr., RSI measures the speed and magnitude of price changes over a specified period. It oscillates between 0 and 100, with the following traditional zones: Above 70: Indicates overbought conditions, where the price may reverse or consolidate. Below 30: Indicates oversold conditions, where the price may rebound or reverse upward. However, it’s important to note that RSI above 70 or below 30 can sometimes indicate trend acceleration rather than an immediate reversal—especially in strong trending markets, discussed in #6 The real reversal signal comes after RSI crosses back below 70 (for overbought) or back above 30 (for oversold). Understanding this distinction is critical to using RSI effectively. 1. Overbought and Oversold Conditions The classic use of RSI involves identifying overbought and oversold levels: Overbought: RSI rises above 70 and then drops back below it, signaling potential selling pressure. Oversold: RSI falls below 30 and then moves back above it, indicating potential buying interest. These signals are more effective when combined with tools like support/resistance levels or trendlines. 2. Centerline Crossover The 50-level on RSI is a reliable trend indicator: Above 50: Bullish momentum dominates. Below 50: Bearish momentum dominates. Use these crossovers to confirm trends: Enter long trades when RSI is above 50. Enter short trades when RSI is below 50. 3. Divergences Divergences between RSI and price can signal potential trend reversals: Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower lows, but RSI forms higher lows. Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher highs, but RSI forms lower highs. These divergences highlight weakening momentum and often precede reversals. 4. RSI Patterns RSI can form recognizable chart patterns, such as triangles, head-and-shoulders, or double tops/bottoms. These patterns often precede price moves: Triangles: A breakout on RSI often signals a strong price move. Double Tops : A topping pattern on RSI warns of potential price declines. 5. Failure Swings Failure swings occur when RSI enters an extreme zone (above 70 or below 30) but fails to sustain momentum and reverses. This is a strong reversal signal and can precede significant price moves: Bullish Failure Swing: RSI dips below 30. It rises but dips again, staying above 30. RSI breaks its previous high, signaling a bullish reversal. Bearish Failure Swing: RSI rises above 70. It falls but rises again, staying below 70. RSI breaks its previous low, signaling a bearish reversal. How to trade it: For a bullish failure swing, enter long when RSI confirms the higher low and breaks above the previous swing high. For a bearish failure swing, enter short when RSI confirms the lower high and breaks below the previous swing low. 6. Momentum Acceleration Strategy While RSI is traditionally used for spotting overbought and oversold conditions, it can also identify momentum acceleration during strong trends: Above 70: In strong uptrends, when RSI rises above 70 and stays there, it signals upward acceleration, indicating buyers are in control. Below 30: In strong downtrends, when RSI dips below 30 and stays there, it signals downward acceleration, with sellers driving the market lower. How to trade it: In uptrends, treat RSI staying above 70 as a sign of strength and look for pullbacks to enter long positions. In downtrends, use brief rebounds as opportunities to short while RSI remains below 30. 7. Multi-Timeframe Strategy Analyzing RSI across multiple timeframes enhances accuracy: Use the higher timeframe (e.g., daily) to identify the overall trend. Use the lower timeframe (e.g., 1-hour) to time trade entries. Example: If RSI on the daily chart is above 50 (bullish trend), look for hourly RSI dips below 30 to enter long trades. If RSI on the daily chart is below 50 (bearish trend), wait for hourly RSI to reach overbought levels above 70 to short. Tips for Advanced RSI Use: Adjust RSI Settings: Shorter periods (e.g., 7) make RSI more sensitive, while longer periods (e.g., 21) smooth out signals for longer-term trends. Combine RSI with Other Tools: Use RSI alongside moving averages, Fibonacci retracements, or Candlesticks. Risk Management: Always pair RSI signals with a stop-loss strategy to manage risk effectively. PRO TIP: As I like to say "Trade the price, not the indicator." Use RSI as a confirmation tool, not the main signal. For example, a price reversal from resistance or a bullish engulfing candle becomes far more reliable when backed by RSI signals. Conclusion RSI is far more versatile than many traders realize. While it’s traditionally used for identifying overbought and oversold levels, strategies like momentum acceleration and failure swings add depth to its utility. By combining RSI with centerline crossovers, divergences, multi-timeframe analysis, and chart patterns, traders can pinpoint entries, reversals, and momentum shifts with more precision and trade more confidently. Key Takeaways: - RSI staying above 70 or below 30 in trends signals momentum acceleration. - Failure swings offer reliable reversal signals when RSI breaks key levels. - Combining RSI strategies with other tools and proper risk management leads to more confidence

ASX 200: Is the Santa Rally Finally on the Runway?Did we just see the start of the ‘Santa Rally’ on Australia’s ASX 200? If the daily candle on SPI futures finishes around these levels, the price signal will likely embolden those who have been pining for its arrival. As things stand, we’re looking at a key reversal with the body and range greater than the candle of 24 hours earlier, pointing to the potential for an extended run higher. RSI (14) has broken its downtrend – hinting at a shift in price momentum – although MACD is yet to confirm the signal. While the timing of the futures contract roll emphasises the need for risk management, with just a handful of trading days left until Christmas, this has often been a strong seasonal period Australian stocks. If the price closes above 8310, one setup to consider would be to initiate longs above the level with a stop beneath for protection, targeting the downtrend established from the record highs. A break of that level may open the door for a larger thrust, possibly towards 8420 or 8480. The price needs to overcome 8353 for the setup to succeed, meaning traders should be on alert for signs of hesitancy from this known reversal level. If the price were to close beneath 8310, the bullish setup would be invalidated. Good luck! DS

S&P is Shaping a Bull Flag While Awaiting the FED DecisionLast week was characterized by increasing selling pressure that hindered upward price progression but failed to trigger any substantial pullback. The market has not even retested the previous consolidation zone ( 598-601 ), which highlights the weakness of the sellers. Looking at the daily chart, the recent price action resembles a bull flag, favoring a continuation of the upward trend. For sellers to demonstrate their strength, they must not only break this pattern to the downside but also breach the 598 support level and drive the price further down to 594 . Much will depend on the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision this week, alongside the release of key economic data. The most favorable outcome for the bulls would be a 0.25% rate cut. Any other scenario could spark concerns—either about an impending recession (if the cut is larger) or about a prolonged high-interest-rate environment (if the cut is absent). The market outlook remains bullish; however, the current price level is not ideal for new long positions. Buyers would be better served by waiting for a more meaningful pullback (e.g., to the 600 level), provided it is not driven by a negative shift in economic sentiment.

Bitcoin: Bitcoin is still above 100,000 dollars!Bitcoin is above the EMA50 and EMA200 in the 4H time frame and is trading in its ascending channel. Risk On sentiment in the US stock market or investing in Bitcoin ETF funds will lead to its continued upward movement. which will cause the failure of the resistance zone(ATH) . After the authentic failure of this area, we will see Bitcoin reach the ceiling of the channel. Capital withdrawals from Bitcoin ETFs or risk OFF sentiment in the US stock market will pave the way for Bitcoin to decline. The target of this downward movement will be the level of 92 thousand dollars. It should be noted that there is a possibility of heavy fluctuations and shadows due to the movement of whales in the market and compliance with capital management in the cryptocurrency market will be more important. Last week, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw capital inflows on every single day, recording a total of $2.2 billion in investments.Similarly, Ethereum spot ETFs continued their strong performance from the previous two weeks, accumulating approximately $1 billion in inflows last week, which is a significant amount. Meanwhile, Microsoft shareholders voted against the proposal to add Bitcoin to the company’s balance sheet during its annual meeting on December 10. The resolution was introduced by the National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR), a free-market think tank based in Washington, D.C., which framed the proposal as a way to provide value to shareholders through profit diversification. However, the shareholders ultimately rejected it. Daniel Batten, an environmentalist and Bitcoin advocate, claimed that Alex de Vries’ “singular opinion” in 2018, as the founder of Digiconomist, was the foundation for all flawed studies on Bitcoin’s environmental impact. Batten argued that this misinformation has led to widespread misunderstandings among the public, investors, and policymakers, causing Bitcoin to be mistakenly seen as an environmental threat. However, newer studies suggest that many of these claims are incorrect, and Bitcoin could even have environmental benefits. He emphasized that Bitcoin’s energy consumption is not tied to the number of transactions and that the network can exponentially increase transaction volumes without raising emissions. Robert Kiyosaki, a Bitcoin investor, entrepreneur, and author of the bestselling book Rich Dad, Poor Dad, has once again predicted an imminent major crash and urged his followers to buy Bitcoin before it happens. In his recent tweet, Kiyosaki specifically addressed the Baby Boomer generation, to which he belongs, highlighting that Bitcoin is a new and confusing asset for many in that demographic. In his tweet, Kiyosaki wrote, “The biggest crash in history is coming. Please act early and get rich.” This warning came as Bitcoin surpassed the $100,000 mark for the first time in history. Earlier this year, Kiyosaki predicted that Bitcoin would reach $500,000 by 2025 and as much as $1 million by 2030, citing AI-based forecasts for his projections. The number of daily active crypto users has reached an all-time high of 18.7 million, a sharp increase from just 7.7 million at the beginning of 2024. A group of Amazon shareholders, led by the National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR), has suggested that Amazon invest at least 5% of its assets in Bitcoin. They argue that Bitcoin has outperformed most asset classes, including corporate bonds. Notably, MicroStrategy, a company that has integrated Bitcoin into its treasury management, has seen its stock outperform Amazon by a significant 537% over the past year. Meanwhile, BlackRock recently purchased an additional 3,910 Bitcoin, bringing its total holdings to approximately 535,000 Bitcoins, valued at $53 billion. As the world’s largest asset manager, BlackRock has shifted its focus to Bitcoin and Ethereum while delaying the launch of any new altcoin-based ETFs. The head of BlackRock’s ETF division stated that the company now aims to expand its existing Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, given their stellar performance so far. Additionally, Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of MicroStrategy, hinted at another Bitcoin purchase in a recent tweet. He wrote, “Does saylortracker miss a green dot?” This cryptic message appears to reference yet another significant Bitcoin acquisition by Saylor. Similar messages from him in the past have often preceded announcements of large Bitcoin purchases. For instance, Saylor has previously teased major Bitcoin buys through similar tweets, which were later confirmed. Nasdaq also announced that the largest Bitcoin-holding company will be added to the Nasdaq-100 index starting December 23.
