Overview Volatility represents how greatly an asset’s prices swing around the mean price. Historically there are rarely brief volatility flare-ups that present trading opportunities. Trying to anticipate volatile events can be costly, because other market participants generally expect the same well known events, and one never knows how big a volatility spike...

Whenever I want a decent understanding of what crypto is doing on aggregate, I consult an equal weight portfolio of 10 of the top cryptos by market cap. The sector has been building another pennant, trying for a push to fresh highs, but momentum is flagging. The last time this happened, not too long back, there was a solid drawdown before the pump. By the look...

With this week's announcement of 25% duties on MX & CA one would do well to survey the markets for opportunities. What better way to push through a trade of this nature than the FX markets?! The first thing to check in any FX trade is rate differentials: CA 10Y: 3.22% US 10Y: 4.27% MX 10Y: 9.99% The carry trade dictates we want to be long the currency with...

Here's a better chart than the one shared in October, showing that energy has been consolidating above an upward sloping triangle formation, over 900 days in the making . With just under 4% remaining to reach prior highs set in April, fresh highs could be just weeks away. Looking at the height of the triangle to project potential gains, there could be a whopping...

The XRP weekly chart staged a crazy upward breakout through a longstanding triangle formation. The price exploded above the 200 week moving average, and now we can realistically start thinking about the height of that triangle formation to project price targets. $3.00 looks a likely target using this sort of projection, and is conservatively well below the all...

After breaking down from a falling wedge, ALB undercut a long term support line and things looked precarious. Recent weeks have thrown a lifeline to the beleaguered shares with news of China's CATL cutting lithium production and now Rio Tinto's Arcadium takeover bid . The Rio Tinto bid could have gone another way, since the bid in ALB's stock late last week...

Energy stocks (XLE) have been in a clear ascending triangle for some months now on the weekly chart. There was a false breakout not too long back, but the pattern held up after breaking down and price is again pushing up against resistance at the top of the triangle. Having recently posted a massive green candle with the angst in the Middle East, coming weeks and...

The SEC has until October 7th to file an appeal in their securities case against Ripple. Some suspect the recent debut of the Grayscale XRP Trust suggests there won't be one. The XRP price has shown sensitivity to big dates in the case, and the SEC seems bent on pushing further action in new forms. Closure of the securities case itself though could be the...

Risk assets are in the green today, notably the small cap Russel 2000 up over 2% and Bitcoin a whopping 6% against the Dollar. XRP has been consolidating across timeframes from the daily all the way through monthly and beyond. Back in 2021 Bitcoin and Ethereum were rallying whilst XRP was asleep at the wheel. Suddenly it almost tripled in just 2 days! Varying...

Revisiting a weekly chart of a 9 symbol crypto mega cap index (BTC, ETH, XRP, ADA, DOGE, MATIC, SOL, DOT, LTC) one can't help but notice price resting on a shelf that was formed during momentum running deep into overbought territory. As the shelf is more or less flat for many months, we see momentum cooling into saner levels. Price could continue to base out in...

Starting from a weekly timeframe a falling wedge nearly 7 months in the making is observed on ALB charts. Notably the wedge formation appears beside rising momentum, drawing the supposition a price bottom could be forming. Considering trades, the question is whether a breakout is imminent or if the price will break down once more to retest the bottom of the wedge....

DJT has had some wild swings lately. Impressively DJT pushed deep into overbought territory on the longer duration weekly timeframe. The company is sitting on under $400K of cash and carries a debt load of nearly $6.8M! From a technical standpoint how can we take a view of where the price might go next? With all the noise the monthly timeframe is where I think we...

Selling PUTs on Natural Gas ETFs seems a decent income prospect at the moment. Not only are there auspices of a falling wedge breakout, but an increase in momentum may be acting as support at the lower end of a months long trading range. These formations are already seventy five days in the making, providing some confidence in the likelihood of our bullish...

Starbucks could be building into a triangle pattern of epic scale. Presently on the weekly chart, we are looking for an eventual rebound from current price levels which is roughly in line with low points from 2020 & 2022. The real breakout could be years in the making though, whereupon a potentially massive measured move higher out of the edge of the triangle. In...

The daily chart on XLU provides rationale to keep a place on our watchlist. Recently it made a golden cross and seems to have broken free of a downdraft in price. Now it looks like the RSI could be searching for overbought. One option is a momentum trade targeting the $71+ price. Personally I'd like to see it hit overbought, then that a position of it pulls back...
