SYMMETRICAL TRIANGLE AND BTCUSD

Every week Tech Charts Global Equity Markets report features some of the well-defined, mature classical chart patterns under a lengthy watchlist and the chart pattern breakout signals that took place during that week. Global Equity Markets report covers single stocks from developed, emerging and frontier markets, ETF’s and global equity indices. The report starts with a review section that highlights the important chart developments on global equity benchmarks, commodities, currencies and cryptocurrencies that might be in focus. This blog post features from the review section BTCUSD. Please note that this is a monthly scale price chart and the November price action (last candle) is still not completed. I’m featuring this chart to show the levels BTC is testing and to draw attention to a possible outcome with symmetrical triangle breakouts.

BTCUSD possibly completed a symmetrical triangle chart pattern on the long-term price chart. Symmetrical triangle is a chart pattern with diagonal boundaries. One difficulty with trading breakouts from diagonal boundaries is the fact that price, following the breakout can find resistance at the minor high. Whereas breakouts from chart patterns with horizontal boundaries usually clear all minor highs at the same time of the breakout.

The minor high for BTC stands at 19,666 levels. Question is, will BTC find resistance at the minor high before breaking out to all-time highs. Previous two breakouts took place after price found resistance and retraced from the minor highs. Chart pattern price target for BTC stands at 30K and with possibly a potential to move much higher, but now we need to focus on the price action around 19,666 levels.
Here is a short educational video that explains the importance of the minor high as resistance with symmetrical triangle breakouts.

GOLD MINERS – MARATHON GOLD CORP (MOZ.TO) 

Every week Tech Charts Global Equity Markets report features some of the well-defined, mature classical chart patterns under a lengthy watchlist and the chart pattern breakout signals that took place during that week. Global Equity Markets report covers single stocks from developed, emerging and frontier markets, ETF’s and global equity indices. The report starts with a review section that highlights the important chart developments on global equity benchmarks. This blog post features from the watchlist section Marathon Gold Corp (Marathon) listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

With breakouts I like to confirm couple of things on price charts. When those conditions are met, I have higher conviction on the trade setup. Those are:

  1. A well-defined chart pattern with horizontal boundaries
  2. Several tests of chart pattern boundary before a breakout takes place
  3. If the chart pattern is a bullish setup, possibility of breakout taking place above the 200-day average (trend filter)
  4. Possibility of a breakout to all-time highs (path of least resistance)

Below chart is meeting all the above criteria and as a result it is a high conviction trade setup for me.

MARATHON GOLD CORP (MOZ.TO)

Marathon Gold Corp (Marathon) is a Canada-based company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties located in North America. The stock is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Price chart formed a 3 month-long rectangle with the horizontal boundary acting as strong resistance at 2.60 levels. The horizontal boundary was tested several times over the course of the chart pattern. A daily close above 2.67 levels will confirm the breakout from the 3 month-long rectangle with the possible chart pattern price target of 3.13 levels.

GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – November 7, 2020

REVIEW


The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) rebounded from strong support area formed by the minor low and the 200-day average. The ETF is now testing previous highs at 84.15 levels that is acting as resistance. I’m weighing the possibility of the last 2 month’s consolidation acting as  a bullish continuation chart pattern. While a breakout might not take place immediately, a breach and a daily close above 84.15 will suggest higher levels, possibly a chart pattern price objective at 91 levels. Until a breakout takes place, the ETF can remain range-bound between 77 and 84.15 levels.
