USOIL - More Signs of a Low

I just made a post outlining some of the reasons WTI could see a move to the upside. You can find that idea here: In this idea, I want to outline more signals and reasons why a low could be forming here for USOIL. This builds on my previous work, so I highly recommend reviewing these ideas first to fully grasp what I am laying out: I have slightly altered this chart from the previous version as more price action has developed. The Solid Red Trendline The first thing I changed was the slo

WTIOIL - Breakout + Retest

The structure West Texas Intermediate has been building is incredible, and once again it will likely outline the next move. The Structure I have this chart outlined on the 6H timeframe. The first thing to note is the black upward sloping support trendline. It has marked many of the lows since the July 1, 2026 macro swing low, and I have outlined these examples with green circles. Next is a downward sloping black trendline that has marked many of the tops since the September 15 swing high. I

PLTR - Testing Critical Resistance

Palantir is testing critical resistance around its previous all time high of $207.52. This comes off a rally of almost 100% from the June low of $106. I highly recommend reviewing my previous post on PLTR, which you can find here: The Rejection Now that this move to the upside has occurred, sellers are starting to step back in significantly. Price reached a high of $204.44 before sellers came in aggressively, which has so far formed a potential gravestone reversal candle or even a shooting s

BTC- Could The Bottom Be In?

We have been waiting for a black swan event to help us reach our Q4 bottom (based on range date trend) and thanks to FTX we got it today. Therefore, did this lower low mark our 2022 bottom? In this chart you can see we have had a very key trendline (black dotted line). Every time we have rallied up to it, we have seen a rejection (red arrows) until we finally broke above (breakout). Since the breakout, we fell in prices to retest our old resistance as new support (successful retest #1) and confirmed it by rallying 15% off of that trendline. Then, we created a lower high in price around $21,500 and have had this collapse to the downside. What is interesting is our wick ($16,800) tapped our trendline exactly again confirming it as new support (successful retest #2) and have already had around a 10% bounce off the low. This could indicate the bottom is in as long as we continue to close daily candle bodies inside or above our key support zone (green box). Of course this could be the straw that broke the camels back and we go much much lower to the prices I have indicated in the past (check "My Black Swan Theory" analysis for these levels). Right now I am very bullish as this looks exactly like what happened in our bear market of 2015. On top of that, the Pi cycle bottom has already flashed, Based on the date range trend we should see a bottom in Q4 2022 (which this could be it), and many other indicators that say the bottom is in. I am happy to change my analysis is we start closing key candle bodies below our key support, but for now I'm sticking to my thesis that the bottom was just put in.

BTC- Bottom most likely in based on TOTAL

Please refer to my previous post "Total Cryptocap" to see my prediction of the crypto markets losing 200B+ to hit the $760B level again. Here is one of the most important charts for all of crypto. This includes every cryptocurrency across the board. From my previous post we were looking for a retest of the $760B level then if we had a weekly confirmation close below we would look for the $300-400B levels. So far, this has played out like clockwork. Marketcap got rejected at the key $1.04 T level (FTX collapse) and sent us back to the same $760B level. What is very interesting now is what happened at the retest of $760B. Instead of closing a weekly candle below, we held every candle as support and have now made a momentous rally back to $950B! This is amazing because it could have cemented the bottom based on marketcap. There are many reasons why 760B is so important. 760B was our 2017 all time high for the cryptocurrency markets. Back in June 2022 when we fell to $17.5k we hit 760B before having an explosive rally back to over $1T. This marked our first case scenario of macro old resistance (2017) flipping into macro new support (2022). Then again, after the FTX collapse we revisited that $760 B market cap and di not just double bottom but triple bottomed (black arrows)!!! This gives us strong hope that the bottom is in ajnd if we can get above our resistance (red trendline) we could start a new bull market. Now lets just theorize what we should look for if we get a weekly candle close below 760b. If marketcap gets rejected at our red trendline and previous top (around the psychological 1T/1.04t Level) then we could see another leg down. If marketcap breaks the key 760B level then we would look for our next level of support which is our green trendline. This green trendline has been holding candle body support since 2016. I estimate this level could be around 545B based on historic confluence (greed dotted ray). If marketcap can't hold the green trendline then we would look for our macro blue trendline since 2016. This trendline (depending on when marketcap would hit it) would put us around $200B. I have also added a blue dotted ray to outline that historic level. What do you guys think? Is this enough confirmation that the bottom is truly in or do we have lower to go?

BTC - The Golden Goose of Charts

This cycle has started to differ from normal 4 year cycle theory. Therefore, TA might not be as important as institutions siphoning up the BTC Supply. But if normal TA is to play out from the current point in this market cycle this is what we could expect for price to do. The timeframe is hard to dictate, if this scenario will happen before or after the halving, but right now it looks as if BTC could be forming a massive Cup & Handle pattern. Of course, if the ATH is broken soon then this scenario will most likely be invalidated. If this is the case, price should see an initial pullback to our 0.786 which is located at $57.4k. Also, the RSI is reaching our red zone of overextension so some kind of substantial pullback would not be out of the ordinary. Then, If we are gracious enough to retrace all the way back to the 0.618 (to flip old resistance into new support) the $48-50k would be the final buying opportunity before the ATH is broken in my opinion. I would also look to front run this level as that is what institutions will be doing, so once you see a major wick close to that level it will likely be the low if in fact we do get close to those levels. A couple other gold nuggets we have included in this chart. The 1.618 around $102k will be a very important level this cycle. Makes sense as well with $100k being very psychological. Also based on Viaquant's quantitative data. Somewhere around the $83.8k level will become very important. It is a secret level that will become clear in the future, but want to present this data to the market way in advance to prove how extraordinary Viaquant is from any other fund/institution.
