NZD/USD rolling over as dairy rebound soursKiwi is looking toppy after printing a shooting star last Thursday, following the bearish reversal through .62764 with two back-to-back declines before easing lower again today. With RSI (14) breaking its uptrend, bullish momentum is waning. While not confirmed by MACD, the Kiwi looks heavy on the charts. Much will be determined by the price action around .6218, a level that thwarted numerous bullish probes in 2024 up until recently.
If we see the price fall below .6218 and hold there, one potential setup would be to sell the break with a tight stop above the level for protection. On the downside, minor support is located below .6200 and around .6175, although there’s nothing meaningful until .6133 where former downtrend resistance intersects with horizontal resistance at .6133.
From a fundamental perspective, Kiwi remains closely correlated with dairy markets, as shown in the bottom pane with a rolling 20-day correlation with whole milk powder futures of 0.94. Dairy prices remain strongly negatively correlated with moves in the US dollar index, making the Kiwi essentially an inverse play on US dollar movements.
Good luck!

15 Minutes.
Short was wrong. I was concentrating on Diversion. Missed the fact that my stochastic green bar line was on top. Meaning it was bought on pullback.
So, trade was closed.
I will consider the last rise 557.1 to 564.20. Will enter at retracement 560 levels for long.
But first hurdle is 565.

Why The Rise Of The $ Is Here-3 Points To DigestDid you hear about the infamous carry trade?
this trade took a storm over the financial media.
Honestly, i was shocked that people in the
financial news networks know about
this trade.
-
Did you know this always happens?
In currency carry trades a common thing
In fact that is why we have currency pairs
-
These currency pairs represent carry trades
Basically, a carry trade is when BANKS
borrow each other money using the Government
-
Bonds as collateral
Why?
-
Because Government bonds produce cash flow.
The problem comes when the value of this
asset drops.
-
Imagine defaulting on a loan
and taking back an asset that has no value
This is what causes a market crash!

ETH looking attractive again for DCAing (vs. BTC)Some of the higher buy orders within the green range triggered.
FG{50/15} showing bullish divergence on the weekly chart.
Good time to continue to very slowly DCA into ETH from BTC again within the golden pocket as defined (i.e. btwn the 61.8-65.0% Fib lvl), and setting more bigger buy orders within the green zone below -- these on the present backdrop of extremely negative and fearful sentiments on ETH and its future being spread around.

Wormhole - Falling Wedge Close To Breakout - Potential 360% MoveA lot of new token launches (Airdrop/Pre-Sale at least) this year seems to suffer the same fate: Price might pump a bit at launch with decent volume, but soon after the interest dies and the price dumps. I've seen several coins now with huge falling wedges like we can see here, and the breakouts are usually insane. W looks like it's getting very close to finally getting out of this wedge.
This looks like a great place to enter a long. Main target is $0.786, and the plan would be to hold maybe ~20% if it looks like it can push $1. The VWAP has acted as a resistance in the past, if the price fails to go past this VWAP again I'd just sell, as it's likely to reverse again.
The St. Dev. Bands line up quite well with my targets, and could end up becoming more precise TPs.
The targets probably seem unrealistic, and maybe they are for the shorter term at least, but these markets move in strange ways, I've been seeing some crazy price action lately (like CLOUD for example)
Tight SL here, would probably look to enter somewhere lower if it gets hit.
SPY shows more interest in rallying than beforeSPY is starting to show more signs that a breakout above the flat trading its in is coming
We see increased volume over peaks of previous rallies indicating agreement with pushing up prices
RSI's SMA starts to break through the 50 line
comparing to the QQQ, its experiences another false breakout above for the second day in a row. Showing the tech sector is attempting to turn around to the upside
SPY continues to still trade flat but show more confidence in its small rallies than previously
‘Everything should take place slowly and incorrectly’.Everything should take place slowly and incorrectly so that man doesn't
get a chance to start feeling proud, so that man is sad and perplexed.
Venedikt Erofeev.
This is a quote from a very good Russian writer. ))
Appropriate.
Here's what I'm thinking.
Big timeframe 19 days, a month ago the MACD showed a ‘bad cross’.
As you can see in 18 and 21 this is what heralded the decline.
On the other hand, there were times when there were 3 crosses in a six-month period.
Let's be honest, this alt season just hasn't happened yet.
Nothing has really grown when you compare it to 2017 and 2021.
That's nonsense, not growth. Since there are a lot of projects, it takes ATH to grow.
TOTAL2 is so up at MA200 for the 19D chart.
It better hold on to that line.
QQQ looks to break into bullish territoryQQQ again breaks out above the longer resistance line to test new more bullish grounds
For the second day in a row QQQ breaks above the long term downward resistance line
This breakout is accompanied with increased volume over yesterday while trading in the higher zone
RSI breaks above SMA during this time
RSI's SMA been flat to trending slightly updward
The bulls are looking to be taking over in the near future showing further weakness in this sell off.
$SPY August 30, 2024AMEX:SPY August 30, 2024
15 Minutes.
Shorted yesterday at 560 levels.
Today for the fall 563.68 to 557.18 561 is 61.8% retracement for the fall.
Since AMEX:SPY below all moving averages i will hold the short.
As written for the rise 518.05 to 563.91 I am expecting a 23.6% retracement. We have an oscillator divergence. So only above 564 I will be closing at loss. 4$ loss for 7 % gain. Good R:R at the moment.
Let's see.
SPY holds steady while QQQ sells offDuring the past week, SPY and QQQ have diverged in their paths
QQQ slowly and steadily sold off
SPY traded flat during that time
This indicates that the sell off in QQQ was primarily tech driven and did not spread to the rest of the industries
other industries look to be holding stable
