Exponential Moving Average (EMA)

A look into the SPY: Are we sold on a full reversal yet?3Day Chart- With 1 day left, the shadow of the candle kissed the 50 EMA. Even with a close ABOVE its previous candles close but BELOW its current candle shadow low this should be seen as bearish. This would print a Shooting Star. 444.39 would be the level to watch for this scenario. 3Day Chart Bulls will want to see a close above the previous candles swing high at 446.46 at a minimum. Best case would be a close above the mid Feb swing high at 448 or better a close above the 50 EMA. 1Day Chart March 14 22' there was a 50/200 EMA cross under. Since then there has been a bit of a rally. 4 days ago, the Daily candle printed above the 50 EMA and 2 days ago above the 200 EMA. In between a Doji printed, kissing both the 200 and 40 EMA signifying major uncertainty. 1 Day Chart If the Daily candle prints at or below 445.50(ish) then we could view this as 1 Black Crow. My best gut feel says its this happens, then selling pressure may be more likely than not to continue through Friday. A note to bulls: this scenario would be OK as long as the .786 Fib is ultimately respected. A healthy .382 is a more likely retracement, but keep in mind the worst case break point at 423.24. Any retracement is fine as long as a HIGHER low is set. Those sweet spots IMO are the above 2 I mentioned. 1 Day Chart Ultimately, bulls want a close over the 200 EMA and bears under the 200 EMA. Here is a link to the 1 Week and 1 Month chart, comments below. Weekly Chart The SPY weekly candle should close above previous swing high candle body resistance around 449. Weekly Chart 453 is marked as resistance, as seen created locally in November. Nov-Jan it acted as support, but now broken it is viewed as resistance. This break of support to resistance happened in a breakout(down) of a major ascending level of supported created April 2020 as the market was recovering from the "covid" crash. Weekly Chart Best case for bulls: EOW rally to close the current weekly candle above 453. Best case for bears would be a weekly close with no lower shadow around 440 or a close below the 50 EMA A close of around 445-446 would print a Doji, meaning indecision in which patience is advised. Monthly Chart Best case for bulls is a close above its previous monthly candle high at 451. This would print a Bullish Engulfing candle. Best case for bears is a close below 423. 423 is a level back in May 21 that acted as resistance and helped create a Doji (indecision). This setup would look similar to a 3 Black Crowes reversal pattern The market has most certainly shown bullish signs, but IMHO this is a critical juncture that will shows us further signs of market recovery or turmoil.

How to Catch a Falling Knife by the HandleI'm not suggesting here that the broader equity market is going to violently sell-off soon or anything like that. I figure that posting an idea on such a scenario might be useful just in case volatility picks up a few knots with some foreseeable seasonal headwinds. Also, the broader equity market is probably going to sell off soon. Now that the possibility of such an event has been thrown out there, I offer something that could make the whole experience even more fun than meme stocks. That would be the use of the 186-period exponential moving average to locate the approximate price level where the first safe area to take profits would be under a crash scenario. Typically, you don't want to "catch falling knives", or any other falling weapon because it is assumed that the trader catching said knife/weapon thinks he has caught the bottom. Of course, he has done the opposite and is in fact, holding a bag of something that will drop in value very soon and the hand he is holding it with can barely hang on because he missed the knife's handle on the way down. While this scenario happens all too often, i believe that catching a falling knife can be done safely and profitably if using the 186 EMA and a SHORT position. What you are then catching is not the stock/derivative itself at a discount long, but rather closing out a short knife that you threw a while back for extreme profits. The key is that the 186 EMA offers you a nearly perfect target to safely exit an extreme short position, without using complicated time/price methods that are usually esoteric to some extent. Just take a look at the chart displayed above, which offers a detailed look into the kind of weapons that SP Futures traders had to deal with over the years. To fully appreciate the results of this demonstration, you must understand the difficulty of trading this futures market. The degree of leverage is high enough to wipe out new entrants within hours and is also severe enough whereby the assumptions required to use Wave Principle cannot be relied upon. In summary, the fact that this EMA either caught outright or was the cause of the first major bounce of ALL significant selloffs over the past 10 years is remarkable. On the weekly timeframe, it will undoubtedly prove useful for bearish swing traders using an intermediate time horizon. In a whipsaw scenario intraday, the 186 can be quickly applied in a pinch, which can prevent panic selling in all sorts of situations. The uses for this tool are many and I am lucky to have randomly stumbled upon it about a year ago when messing around with pinescript for the first time. In fact - see for yourself how the 186 EMA somehow plays a structural role in at least one timeframe (even the 5-min at times) of any given price chart. The key is to find which timeframe the 186 is fitting most closely with at the current time. Remember, use wisely when catching weapon-profits, not weapon-long-positions. -PiggishMagician AMEX:SPY SP:SPX GLOBALPRIME:US500

BITCOIN - Complete Technical AnalysisRussia officially declared war on Ukraine this week, and four days have passed since the conflict between the two countries, and the conflict has intensified. The start of the war was accompanied by a sharp drop in bitcoin, but on the same day, it was strongly supported, and the price again attacked the resistance of $40,000, but eventually, the daily candle closed at the level of $39,000. In recent days, there has been more volatility due to the negative news of the Bitcoin war, but with the possibility of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, some experts believe that #Bitcoin can start a rising wave again after the end of these tensions. This war once again showed the world the importance of digital currencies and bitcoins. While many bank cards in Ukraine are blocked, and people do not have access to their accounts, bitcoin wallets, and digital currencies have become more active. This proves the world's need for a decentralized financial network such as digital currencies. Bitcoin was well supported on February 24 after the start of the war between Russia and Ukraine and the sharp fall of the price and returned to the price of $34,322, and on February 26, reached the resistance level of $40,000 and the moving average, which is an important resistance area. For Bitcoin. The moving average is trending up, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is in the middle of the market, which is a signal that the market is bullish. If the cows can stabilize the price above the moving average, the #BTC will likely rise to the $45,821 range, which is a strong resistance area. If Bitcoin falls below this range, it will probably fluctuate between $36,000 and $39,000 for a few days, and then if this area breaks down further, further Bitcoin declines could lead to a drop in price to $32,900.

MATIC/USDHere is a closer look at this MATIC 1d Binance chart. MATIC is in a massive Ascending Triangle Pattern on the 1 day chart. An Ascending Triangle Pattern is potentially a Bullish Continuation Pattern. The APEX of this Triangle Pattern is around July 2022. For your viewing pleasure, I have added various support and resistance lines within this Ascending Triangle. At the moment, MATIC is ABOVE its Bollinger Bands Middle Band Basis 20 Period SMA for this 1 day timeframe. Note that the Upper and Lower Bands are converging inwards indicating volatility has slowed at the moment. Note that MATIC is still above its Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) for this 1 day timeframe. MATIC is above its Volume Profile Fixed Range Point of Control (VPFR POC) for the Fixed Range of 11x daily candle that i have selected. Note that MATIC is still above its Volume Profile Visible Range Point of Control (VPVR POC) for this charts Visible Range. Note that Volume is still low on this Binance chart and note that the last 8x Volume Bars have been BELOW its Volume 20 Period MA. Looking at the Average Direction Index (ADX DI) we can see that the Trend Strength is still strong but has lost some strength with the ADX (Orange Line) dropping slightly to 27.562 below its 9 Period EMA (Black Line) which is at 27.585. Note that Negative Momentum has dropped sharply with the -DI (Red Line) dropping to 26.771. Positive Mmentum has also dropped slightly but not as sharply with the +DI (Green Line) at 18.693. For sustainable upwards momentum to continue, we need the +DI (Green Line) to CROSS back ABOVE the -DI (Red Line) on this 1 day timeframe. Looking at the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) we can see that momentum is upwards at the moment and the MACD Line (Blue Line) is still ABOVE its Signal Line (Orange Line) on this 1 day timeframe. Note that the MACD Line (Blue Line) has not been above the 0.0 Base Line in the Positive Zone since 7th Jan 2022 on this 1 day timeframe. Be on the lookout for when the MACD Line crosses back above the 0.0 Base Line into the Positive Zone. Taking a quick look at the Relative Strength Index (RSI) we can see that momentum at the moment is slightly downwards. Not that the RSI (Purple Line) is still ABOVE its 9 Period EMA (Orange Line) which is a sign of upwards momentum strength at the moment. Be on the lookout just incase the RSI (Purple Line) drops more and crosses back below its 9 Period EMA (Orange Line). MATIC needs to stay above the Bollinger Bands Middle Band Basis 20 Period SMA and the LSMA indicator for any longterm upwards momentum to be sustainable. If BTC takes another nose dive and causes MATIC to drop downwards out of the Ascending Triangle Pattern then MATIC may drop to its VPVR POC around $0.83 so we need to keep an eye on what BTC is doing as BTC still controls the market direction. If the Ascending Triangle Pattern stays valid, then MATIC may be in for a big move up to possibly well above $10 if it successfully breaks back above the Ascending Triangle Resistance line. I hope this is helpful with your trading and hodl-ing.

ADA/USDHere is a closer look at this ADA 1 day Binance chart. As you can see, ADA is in a massive Descending Triangle Pattern. A Descending Triangle Pattern is potentially a Bearish Continuation Pattern. Note that ADA is still ABOVE its Longterm Pitchfork Median Line on this 1 day timeframe. ADA is still below its Bollinger Bands Middle Band Basis 20 Period SMA for this 1 day timeframe. Note that the Upper and Lower Bands are starting to contract and pinch inwards. At the moment ADA is above its Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) on this 1 day timeframe. Volume is still low on this Binance daily chart and note that the last 13x daily Volume Bars have been below its Volume 20 Period Moving Average. At the moment ADA is above its Volume Profile Fixed Range Point of Control (VPFR POC) for the fixed range of 12x daily candles that i have selected. If we zoom in on the chart, at the moment ADA is below its Volume Profile Visible Range (VPVR POC) for this charts visible range. If we look at the Average Directional Index (ADX DI) we can see that the Trend Strength is very weak with the ADX (Orange Line) at 16.185 and dropping below the 20 Threshold and under its 9 Period EMA (Black Line) which is at 18.559. Positive Momentum has increased with the +DI (Green Line) dropping slightly to 21.931. Negative Momentum has decreased with the -DI (Red Line) dropping to 20.268. We need the +DI (Green line) to stay above the -DI (Red Line) and move further apart. Taking a quick look at the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) we can see that the MACD Line (Blue Line) is indicating momentum is upwards at the moment and it is still above its Signal Line (Orange Line) but note that the MACD Line (Blue Line) is still under the 0.0 Base Line in the Negative Zone. Note that the MACD Line (Blue Line) has not been above the 0.0 Base Line in the Positive Zone since 20th Jan 2022 on this 1 day timeframe. Taking a quick look at the Relative Strength Index (RSI) we can see that momentum is downwards art the moment and note that the RSI (Purple Line) is still above its 9 Period EMA (Orange Line) but because momentum is downwards we need to keep an eye on the RSI (Purple Line) the close it gets to its 9 Period EMA (Orange Line). At the moment i still think it's Sideways at best or Downwards at worst for ADA. For any longterm recovery to become sustainable for ADA, we need ADA to make a higher high and CLOSE a daily candle ABOVE the $1.63 blue highlighted area. I hope this is helpful with your trading and hodl-ing.

ETH looking good hereETH has continued it's retrace back towards both the major support line and the 200 EMA as we discussed in the linked ideas.

DJI - longterm Pitchfork Pattern is still valid since July 1932With all this talk about another great depression like stock market crash happening in the very near future, i thought i’d join the fun and take a look and analyse the DJI Monthly Chart. Using an extended Pitchfork Pattern (A,B,C), we can clearly see that the DJI has been in an Upwards Pitchfork Pattern since the Month of the 1st July 1932. Chart wise, you can see The Wall Street Crash of 1929 which started the Month of the 2nd September 1929 and ended the Month of the 1st July 1932. History says the crash ended on 13th Nov 1929 but chart wise it didn’t, because the bottom turned out to be around $40 on the 1st July 1932 not $195 on the 13th Nov 1929. Chart wise, the 2020 Covid-19 crash started in the Month of 2nd Jan 2020 with what’s looks like a Monthly Shooting Star Candle which then lead to 2 more Bearish Monthly Candles. The Candle from the Month of 2nd March wicked all the way down to the depths of hell & found strong support from its Upper Yellow Pitchfork Support Line, the price then managed to close back above its Upper Light Green Pitchfork Support Line. Note that the last time the DJI closed a Monthly Candle below its Pitchfork Median Line was the Month of the 2nd Feb 2009. The Price eventually made it its way back ABOVE its Pitchfork Median Line on the month of the 1st April 2009. At the moment, DJI has found strong resistance from its Upper Light Blue Pitchfork Resistance Line. What is interesting is that this Pitchfork Resistance Line served as strong resistance from the Month of the 3rd May 1999 - 3rd Jan 2000, note that the DJI failed to close a Monthly candle above this level and has not closed a Monthly candle above this Pitchfork Resistance Line since the Month of the 2nd Sept 1929. If we take a look at the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) we can see that the MACD Line (Blue Line) is still in the Positive Zone above the 0.0 Base Line. Note that the MACD Line (Blue Line) is curving downwards and if it crosses back under the Signal Line (Orange Line) then that will be a potential sell signal on this 1 Month timeframe. Note that the MACD Line (Blue Line) has not been in the Negative Zone under the 0.0 Base Line since the Month of 1st Sept 2010. Looking at the Average Directional Index (ADX DI) we can see that Positive Momentum has weakened on this 1 Month timeframe with the +DI (Green Line) dropping to 23.82 and Negative Momentum has risen with the -DI (Red Line) at 14.94. Note that the Trend Strength is sideways with the ADX (Orange Line) at 21.93 and still above its 9 Period EMA (Black Line) which is at 21.05. If the -DI (Red Line) ever crosses back ABOVE the +DI (Green Line) then that would mean that Negative Momentum has become DOMINANT over Positive Momentum on this 1 Month timeframe. If we look at the Relative Strength Index (RSI) we can see that the RSI (Purple Line) has dropped out of the Overbought Zone at the moment. Note that the RSI (Purple Line) is also below its 9 Period EMA (Orange Line) which is a sign of weakness for Positive Momentum on this 1 Month timeframe. Note that we also have DIVERGANCE with the Price and the RSI on this 1 Month timeframe. The Wall Street Crash of 1929 dropped to around -89%. A drop of -89% from the price level at the moment would take DJI Price to around $3,800. The Covid-19 Crash of 2020 dropped to around -38%. A drop of -38% from the price level at the moment would take the DJI Price to around $21,550. Here is a closer look at this 1 Month chart. Note that if DJI does drop massively again then it has potentially 4 Pitchfork Support Levels to support it before it reaches the Pitchfork Median Line. Note that the Upper Dark Green Pitchfork Support Line will be a crucial level to watch as it has acted as support & resistance on multiple occasions over the last 121 years. I hope this post has been helpful with your trading ;-) On a funny note, some may wonder whether or not the 1929 crash happened to mark the conception of a certain individual called Warren Buffett ;-)

Polkadot Price PredictionDOT has edged lower after pulling back from Thursday’s high of 27.79. The altcoin has been on a downtrend since early November when it hit its all-time high at 55.28. Currently, Polkadot's price was down by 3.77% at 25.35. On a four-hour chart, it is trading below the 25 and 50-day exponential moving averages. It is also below the long-term 200-day EMA. In the short term, I expect the crypto to remain under pressure. It may trade within a horizontal channel between the week’s low of 24.17 and the 50-day EMA at 26.80709039. Below the range’s lower border, the bears will be eyeing a 5-month low of 20.00. On the upside, a move above the upper border will likely place the resistance level at 30.02. However, as long as it remains below the 200-day EMA at 32.69, the Polkadot price will remain in a bear market.

Undervalued Stock Series #1 : CRSRThe share price for this company have been absolutely beaten down since February 2021.. and that is good for me. The numbers for this company is good and several DCF valuations have suggested that the current price is on average 60% under the fair price. On the technicals, there is no reason for me to buy some shares. Price trading way under the 100-200 EMA cloud and price structures doesn't suggest the bulls have taken over yet. We wait. First sign I am looking for is the highs of the price structure is broken and moving way up towards the EMA cloud.
