DXY long - Supply Demand, dailyHello Traders!
On the DXY I already made a very detailed video about why it will go up. It is because we are in a deceleration phase. I do expect that we are going to push up to the daily Supply Zone. From there I do expect a continuation to the downside.
As we can see we also have broken the trend line. Target is the daily Supply Zone
That was my Idea and I hope you liked it. Please leave a LIKE if you like the content. In the comment section you can share your view and ask questions.

Correlation
volume : main force behind major market moves Volume is one piece of information that is often neglected, however, learning to interpret volume brings many advantages and could be of tremendous help when it comes to analyzing the markets. In addition to technicians, fundamental investors also take notice of the numbers of shares traded for a given security.
Volume analysis can help to confirm the existence, or a continuation, of a trend - If trading volume increases, prices generally move in the same direction - or trend reversal - If there is no relationship between the trading volume and the price of a security, this signals weakness in the current trend and a possible reversal.
Essentially, trading volume can legitimize a security's price action, which can then aid an investor in their decision to either buy or sell that security.
So let’s begin by having a closer look at what volume is and how it can help traders!
What is Volume?
The volume represents all the recorded trades for a security that occurs in a given time interval. It is a measurement of the participation, enthusiasm, and interest in a given security. Think of volume as the force that drives the market. Volume substantiates, energizes, and empowers price. When volume increases, it confirms price direction; when volume decreases, it contradicts price direction.
In theory, increases in volume generally precede significant price movements. However, If the price is rising in an uptrend but the volume is reducing or unchanged, it may show that there’s little interest in the security, and the price may reverse.
A high volume usually indicates more interest in the security and the presence of institutional traders. However, a rapidly rising price in an uptrend accompanied by a huge volume may be a sign of exhaustion.
Traders usually look for breaks of support and resistance to enter positions. When security break critical levels without volume, you should consider the breakout suspect and prime for a reversal off the highs/lows
Volume spikes are often the result of news-driven events. Volume spike will often lead to sharp reversals since the moves are unsustainable due to the imbalance of supply and demand
Important note: there’s no centralized exchange where trades are recorded, so the volume data represents what happens at a particular exchange only
In most charting platforms, the volume indicator, one of the oldest market indicator, is presented as color-coded bars, green if the security closes up and red if the security closed lower, where the height of the bars show the amount of the recorded trades. Additionally, there are many custom studies, available on trading platforms as it is the case for @TradingView, where the volume information is presented with added additional insight, such as adding volume moving average, presenting relative volume with four colored histogram
What Else?
Apart from the volume itself, your ability to assess what volume is telling you in conjunction with price action can be a key factor in your ability to turn a profit in the market. It makes little sense to analyze the volume alone. To correctly interpret the volume data, it shall be seen in the light of what the price is doing. there are a lot of other indicators that are based on the volume data as well as price action. Analyzing those volume indicators has always helped traders and investors to better understand what is happening in the market. Here are some of the commonly used volume indicators:
• On Balance Volume
• Money Flow Index
• Chaikin Money Flow
Shortly;
On Balance Volume
The On Balance Volume indicator, is a technical analysis indicator that relates volume flow to changes in a security’s price. It uses a cumulative total of positive and negative trading volume to predict the direction of price. The OBV is a volume-based momentum oscillator, so it is a leading indicator — it changes direction before the price
Granville, creator of OBV, proposed the theory that changes in volume precede price movements in a measurable way. He believed that volume was the main force behind major market moves and thought of OBV’s prediction of price changes as a compressed spring that expands rapidly when released.
It is believed that the OBV shows the interactions between the institutional and retail traders in the market
If the price makes a new high, the OBV should also make a new high. If the OBV makes a lower high when the price makes a higher high, there’s a classical bearish divergence — indicating that only the retail traders are buying. Another type of bearish divergence occurs when the price remains relatively quiet and fails to make a higher high but the OBV soars higher than the previous high — indicating that the institutional traders are accumulating short positions. On the other hand, if the price makes a lower low and the OBV makes a higher low, there is a classical bullish divergence, showing that the institutional traders don’t believe in that move
Money Flow Index
The Money Flow Index indicator (MFI) is a tool used in technical analysis for measuring buying and selling pressure. This is done through analyzing both price and volume. When the MFI rises, this indicates an increase in buying pressure. When it falls, this indicates an increase in selling pressure. The Money Flow Index can generate several signals, most notably: overbought and oversold conditions, divergences, and failure swings
The MFI is essentially the RSI with the added aspect of volume
Chaikin Money Flow
The Chaikin Money Flow indicator (CMF) is a volume indicator that measures the money flow volume over a chosen period. The money flow volume is a measure of the volume and where the price closed relative to the trading session’s range. It comes from the idea that buying pressure is indicated by a rising volume and recurrent closes in the upper part of the session’s price range while selling pressure is demonstrated by an increasing volume and repeated closes in the lower part of the price range.
Both buying and selling pressures are accompanied by an increase in volume, but the location of the closing prices are in accordance with the direction of price
There are many others, that you may be interested to check further
• Price-Volume Trend (PVT)
• Volume Price Confirmation Indicator (VPCI), Dormeier’s awarded study
• Ease of movement
• Accumulation/distribution, base for Chaikin Money Flow
• Volume-Weighted Average Price
• Volume-Weighted Price Bars, present if price movements are supported by Volume
• …
Additional example custom studies to the one presented with the idea
Conclusion
Volume analysis is very important to traders and investors. There are numerous volume indicators out there, but we have discussed some of the commonest ones. Study them and add them to your analysis tools to improve your trading.
$DXY / $USD ~ Consolidation before legging up ($BTC decreases)looking for consolidation before breaking Sept.9th resistance & heading to $0.94 $USD. Once this happens it will confirm a bull trap on $BTC & send us back under $10,000 $USD. $SPX is barely hanging above a major (s/r) transition zone. (3350) $USD
DXY short - Supply Demand - h4Hello Traders!
On DXY I see it still going to the downside. We are right now at a daily Supply Zone. This Zone is a potential returning point in the market. If we have a look at the other timeframes. The Trend is downtrend. We can see this on all timeframes. Right now DXY made a correction to the upside. This is why a lot think that it will go back to the upside. But this is simply a correctional move. If we want to see the DXY going more to the upside than we need to break first the resistance that I market on the chart. Let's see what will happen.

The Big Scoop! Gold v US DollarFollowing up from my previous video on price of Gold, I show an startling inverse correlation between Gold and strength of the US Dollar (DXY).
Before February 2020, Dollar strength basically followed Gold. But after February - the world changed. Keep in mind this was when COVID struck, and the FED flooded the economy with basically 'air money'.
COVID popped the baloon that was expanded recklessly for about 11 years. The FED then put 'sellotape' on the balloond and did a fair job of reinflating it, with more 'air' of course.
The effect of panic-striken money printing was to cause a loss of strength in the US Dollar against other currencies. Other factors like trade and price of Oil also account for Dollar strength in part.
So post-COVID,around April to end of May 2020, the Dollar took on a decompensation pattern and crashed. It could get even worse, as today the FED re-affirmed it's commitment to doing 'whatever it takes'.
This is probably not good news for the Dollar, but it's good news for those seeking upside on Gold.

EBAY VS AMZNA very simple and clear chart above, from which you can see a 89% correlation between NASDAQ:EBAY and NASDAQ:AMZN .
The built-in CC is used over a month period to look at possible correlation between the two, and well just as I expected. The future is online shopping.

XAU USD - short battle before a longterm continuationHello traders and analysts,
This is marked as short for short term but overall bullish gold - just as liquidations occur during "summer period".
Here is our take on XAU
COT DATA:
AVG Longs Shorts Total long short
Avg_13 306,481 65,875 372,356 82% 18%
Avg_20 298,457 54,145 352,601 85% 15%
Avg_130 265,613 90,138 355,751 74% 26%
Technicals
Heavy longs from both non commercial and retail investors.
Daily longs are still in play
Weekly longs
Monthly long
Retrace is occurring on the weekly time frame - but can this be building up
Fibonacci level aligns of 50% around 1939 and 61.8% at 1907.00 USD.
This retracement zone will show a great long identification
Retrace needed to to confirm liquidity from the strong demand.
Fundamentals
Keep an eye on GBP JPY for correlation -as this moves negatively on positive gold and opposite to negative gold moves.
Also US treasury yield curves - will send shock waves into the Yellow metal - this is important to understand how the US government has weakened their currency to seem more attractive and create a printing bubble which from an economic standpoint with rising national US Debt - taking away the safehaven power shift will present investors rushing to assets in order to create demand. The USD will maintain in profit taking and realisation of over value, the price will see stocks fall.
Keep an eye on August September - October being a pinnacle month for shift in supply demand - timing before the election also.

🔔🔞 How Bitcoin Can Get You Your Heart's Desire 💖 BTC ETH LINKIntroduction:
💬 The weak dollar, DeFi hype, and tech boom during COVID have been great for crypto. This can be seen by looking at Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Chainlink (LINK). This doesn't mean we won't see a correction after the current consolidation period (something we are already seeing a bit with LINK), it just means overall things have been up-and-up and are still looking good. The more crypto booms, the more ground BTC, ETH, and Chainlink take. The more ground they take, the more crypto booms. That said, history and logic tell us we have to see a pullback at some point, let's take a look at these three leaders of crypto to get a sense of the current overall market conditions.

BTCUSD 4h:
BTC Support:
S1: The orderblock and previous S/R range at the bottom of the channel is likely to be the saving grace of crypto. Or at least this is the bull's best hope. As you'll see, the other cryptos will benefit from a show of strength here.
BTC Resistance:
R1: This range at the previous swing high which contains an orderblock is the first point of resistance for BTC. The bulls don't need to take this out right away, but a push above this range would be a great show of strength.
R2: The orderblock range at the top of the channel is the last hope for bears who want to ensure there is no chance of a retest of previous All-Time Highs. Meanwhile, a clean break of this level would signal it is game on for the bulls.
ETHUSDT 4h:
ETH Support:
S1: The support range at the previous S/R flip is a logical level for ETH to consolidate and run from. ETH has already tested this level twice, so technically it could just be up from here, although it would be far from uncommon to see another retest as we consolidate.
S2: The range at the S2 orderblock, where the bodies of the range low candles sit, makes sense as support if S1 can't hold. Below this ETH loses some bullish market structure. It sets ETH back a bit if we linger below S2, although after such an epic run any level of correction wouldn't be out of the norm.
ETH Resistance:
R1: The range at the previous swing high and orderblock is our first level of resistance. This level is bound to be reacted to as long as we consolidate.
R2: There is some resistance above, but for our purposes, this range is what the bears will need to defend and bulls will be looking to take out. A break above this level is very bullish for ETH.
LINKUSDT 4h:
LINK Support:
S1: The level created from the previous support found on the way up is a logical place to bounce from. However, after losing this much market structure it is doubtful the bulls will be able to quickly pull out of the tailspin.
S2: The S/R flip range here is a reasonable support level for LINK. There is a chance price goes lower once we get here, but on the plus side for bulls there is lots of support to start looking at starting at S2.
LINK Resistance:
R1: The most immediate threat to bull kind and the great hope of Zeus capital is the range at the R1 orderblock. A rejection here is key to the bearish ABC that takes us to S2 as shown on the chart.
R2: If the bulls can manage the retest the top, it'll be the bear's last chance at keeping LINK away from mind-melting highs. Retesting this could however be a long time out if bulls don't act quickly.
-----
Summary:
All eyes are likely on BTC to hold the channel. BTC holding will help ETH and Chainlink hold their support levels. Meanwhile, BTC pushing above the channel and R2 should help the other cryptos launch. Given the DeFi boom, it is also possible ETH or even LINK steps in to pull the rest of crypto along for the next leg of a bull run, but our money is on BTC holding up the market here.
With all of that said, bears will be ready to feast if the supports noted above start to fail... even if that feast is more temporary than we have seen over the past few years (as it tends to be in true crypto bull markets).

ENPH or SEDG or TAN - Lockstep CorrelationSolar Edge stays on my buy list, but Enphase keeps a direct correlation to SEDG with similar P/E ratios, but at the quarter of the cost. Further correlation with the TAN of course, but if you want to track the two inverter companies, you can do so with TAN and at least get dividends :)
ETHERIUM & BITCOIN CORRELATION (retest then leg up)Good evening everyone.
Hit that like button for me (if you appreciate the visuals I've created here for you guys) 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I've been noticing correlation between ETH & BTC (it looks like Ethereum could actually be leading Bitcoin. When ETH topped out, so did BTC, and they both dropped and recovered around the same area's. (where the supply zones are at, after dropping from the demand area)
PRO TIP: It's okay to change the short term plan, but never change the short term GOAL. (and long term)
Enjoy your night.
Comment below if you want me to post more ALT coin charts? like ETH and others? I appreciate the feedback! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

By using confluence and pair correlation strategies, please refer to my linked USDJPY Idea to understand fully the resemblance here.
This is why it is important to compare and contrast pairs. In this case EURUSD and USDJPY will move similarly while USDCHF is expected to contrast them.

US dollar - US Treasuries Divergence The US dollar correlates positively to US Treasuries.
Market participants needs US dollar when buying US Treasuries as investments or as collateral.
Now we see a pretty sharp diverence and break of that correlation.
One would anticiapte a return to mean of this relationship.
My base-case is that the dollar will follow bonds and get bid up.
In short, my reasoning is as follows:
If liquidity continues to be tight, as low interest rates and central banks going crazy are signaling, the dollar will catch a bid as it's still the world reserve currency.
Regardless of my bias: when macro correlations diverge, its time to pay attention.
