Good evening, traders

I returned from vacation and today found a potential opportunity in the Australian dollar (6A). 

On Frіday the price rejected the strong level of resistance on the daily chart and big volumes went short according to delta and HFTs’ Bid imbalance.  But a bit earlier we saw algorithmic purchases in the South direction which we can observe with the help of quantitative cumulative delta (CDQ), and they expected that the daily level of resistance would be broken. To my mind, after the last involvement of sellers, we can really see a breakout attempt of those levels. But for now, It is not allowed for the price to go lower than 0,63375 as that definitely will mean that current limit support is not strong enough to protect our stop-loss. If it is strong, the target I expect on 0,6407 price level.

In the last big tick chain which was absorbed by Marketmaker, we have a duration of 4 seconds 581 milliseconds and 86% preponderance of trades by market sellers. (Watch) 

Sometimes chaos on the market dissipates and the future seems to be rather clear.

When I see the results of my predictions like it was in Corn (ZC) it seems to me that I know what's around the corner.

Before everything happened I wrote, that 

‘’I assume that we will reach the 467,75 price level and touch all the liquidity that is concentrated under the demand zone (473-475). And I put my alert there. (Watch) 

And only then the price will go to the upside, as hedgers are very active in buying wheat from trend-following hedge funds for such a cheap opportunity.”

The most amazing thing is that it happened tick by tick in accordance with the forecast. 

Moreover, there was a tick chain Bids imbalance, which could be used as an entry point. (Watch) 

Plus additional imbalance of options put block trades (D1), which often happen in reversal points, especially in commodity markets.
 

The logical target where the market maker could totally unload this position was also achieved with accuracy dollar to dollar.

We have the ultimate bearish sentiment here. Just look at the imbalance in the volume of put options, which is twice as much as in calls. On Tuesday we got big trades in options block trades, Bid imbalance of order flow and so rejection. But on Friday the pressure of sellers continued to increase and we closed before the the last frontier.

As you remember, bid HFTs’ on the level of support means that with a high probability, it will be broken, as smart money and market makers more often sell in levels of support, than buy from them as we used to.

I assume that we will reach the 467,75 price level and touch all the liquidity that is concentrated under the demand zone. And I put my alert there. (Watch) 

And only then the price will go to the upside, as hedgers are very active in buying wheat from trend-following hedge funds for such a cheap opportunity.

I am sure that we are on the verge of a big upside movement in grains, but it is impossible to provide it without the kicking of the passengers.

Good day, traders!

Today I want to highlight a Canadian dollar (6C). On Friday, it closed above the strong volumetric and technical support according to the Daily chart. But hedge funds continue to accumulate their shorts. (Watch)

A large quantity of buyers are going to buy cheap. We see that call volumes are also more preferred. Moreover ask HFTt’s imbalance was created, but met a limit seller. (Watch)

I assume that despite the strong level of support we have more chances to break the level 0,7350 than to bounce from it. The target of the downside movement is at a 0,73 price level.

Have a nice week and a pleasant Sunday!

Hedge funds, according to COT data are very active in accumulating longing positions, and it fixed above the technical horizontal level on the daily chart. 

Market makers could absorb that liquidity and unload it lower.

Moreover, the activity in Put options is stronger than in Calls and the minimum payouts level is also much lower. So I am 🐻 bearish in crude oil, if you also think so, put 👍 and have a nice Sunday!

Good day traders 👋 

I dedicate this review to the big changings in COT positions of hedge funds in the Euro (6E), British Pound (6B), and Silver (SI).

Today we overview daily charts 

Good evening, traders!

This week was good for trend following strategies, but bad for reversals. Trends make up 20-30% of market movements and exist only on historical charts, so it is very difficult to predict when they will occur. 

Today I want to overview my unfavorable predictions and take your attention to the topic of how to avoid losses on the examples of the previous week.

Good evening traders ☀️

One week passed and today I see interesting ASK imbalances in such currencies as British Pound (6B), Canadian Dollar (6C), Mexican Peso (6M), and they can be realized as shorting opportunities during the next week. Also, I see BID imbalance and potential buying opportunity in Natural Gas (NG) if the price will fix above HFTs’.

I won’t take much time, I managed to talk about everything in 5 minutes
