Dark Cloud Pattern for Beginners

The Dark Cloud is one of the more frequent patterns that can be found in charts. Trading expert David Jones deciphers its structure and meaning for us in this detailed video and shows it in real chart examples.

Bitcoin Dropping: Opportunity or Disaster?

The last week has seen one of the most serious drops for Bitcoin ever since the flagship cryptocurrency entered the mainstream. Several support levels were broken withing days of each other and right now it’s trading at 7703 after bouncing up from yesterday’s low at 5970. A lot of news has been accompanying this selloff – the largest U.S. banks banned cryptocurrency purchases with their credit cards, the UK imposed the same barrier at almost the same time. More regulation does seem to be on its way in the western economies but at the same time governments in Singapore and Australia have shown no signs of any unease with the […]

Candlestick Engulfing Pattern Tutorial

Japanese candlesticks have one ability that most other chart types don’t – they can show so called “engulfing” patterns. An engulfing pattern is defined as when the open and close price of a bullish or bearish candle are within the range of the open and close price of the candle following them.

That’s the theory but as we know the market doesn’t always answer to predefined rules. That’s why David Jones includes real examples alongside the theory behind these specific chart patterns. You’ll also see different […]

Bitcoin Edging Towards a Breakout

0 It’s been another week of ups and downs for Bitcoin but overall the larger bearish trend has continued. No new highs have been registered and there is a support level that has had a couple of tests and could be seen again if the downward momentum continues. That support lies at 9150, which was touched on the 17th of January. If selling continues and it’s broken, then a further down move to 8400 could also materialise. Trading expert David Jones also discusses the latest news from South Korea where authorities have clarified their requirements for trading bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. They won’t be banning it altogether but rather […]

How to Trade Trend Reversals

Trend reversals are the holy grail of trading. They are the coveted tops and bottoms that represent the ideal entry points for opening new positions and closing existing ones. So here we discuss how to identify them and what risks there are when you try to “time the market” as experienced traders say. Whether you use indicators, fundamentals or news it’s always a challenging task to find that exact point in time when a price has reached its highest or lowest point for a certain period.
