How to Trade Wedge Chart Patterns (based on the article)

• "Looking at the wedge chart pattern, it’s easy to see why it’s so popular with traders. This is because it’s easy to identify, and therefore has a bit “self-fulfilling prophecy” aspect to it. The fact that it also has a simple measuring tool built into it doesn’t hurt either, as it is very simple to use as a tool."
• "The first thing that we need to do is identify what a wedge actually is. A wedge is simply two trendlines that converge towards an apex. In other words, price is compressing from both selling and buying pressure. It’s like a triangle but doesn’t converge in a horizontal manner. In other words, you may have an uptrend line as per usual, but at the top of trading during the last several candlesticks, the sellers are becoming a bit more aggressive, compressing the market. In this example, it’s what is known as a “rising wedge.” A rising wedge shows compression in and uptrend that signals that there could be something wrong. We are losing some of our momentum, and as a result the highs just aren’t as impressive as they once were. The beauty of this pattern is that a break down below the uptrend line signals that we are going to the bottom of the pattern itself, denoted by the blue line. Beyond that, what’s even more important is that at the very least most traders around the world will see that the trend line had been broken. So even if they are trading wedge patterns, almost all traders pay attention to trendlines. When they get broken, the catch is everybody’s attention."
• "The stop loss would be placed on the other side of the pattern, and in this case it’s an easy 1:2 risk to reward ratio. By paying attention to the wedge, you are noticing that the market is running out of momentum, and that an eminent reversal may be coming. Wedges can be bullish as well."
• "Like almost all chart patterns, there is the opposite as well. In that case, you are talking about the “falling wedge.” As you can see on the chart below, the US dollar had been falling against the Canadian dollar quite sharply, and then drifted a bit lower. Notice that the trajectory of the lows weren’t as strong as previous, and then of course the highs were becoming as aggressive as well."

USD/JPY - Bullish Pattern (based on the article)

We are tracking a bullish 5-3 wave pattern for USD/JPY. This is where you have a 5 wave motive wave to start a new trend followed by a three wave partial retracement.

The motive wave began on January 2, 2019 and carried to March 5, 2019. From there, a sideways flat pattern carved in three waves labeled (a)-(b)-(c). The wave structure from the May 13 low appears to be a leading diagonal pattern. If this interpretation is correct, then another large rally may begin soon.

Hang Seng Index (HSI) - correction to the bearish reversal (based on the article)

• "The Chinese Hang Seng Index collapsed early this week to new recent lows. This breakdown in the Chinese major stock index highlights the anticipated fallout from the continued US/China trade war. Recent data from the Chinese property market and corporate bond markets suggest a broad slowdown in economic activity which may surprise many foreign investors in the weeks/months to come."
• "First, the Hang Seng Index collapsed much lower this week – prompting the US and UK markets to breakdown as well. The continued rhetoric between the US and China regarding the Trade War is not helping the global economy much. Yet, it must continue to some conclusion before the planet can begin to move forward. At this point, it is almost like watching an old school game of” Chicken” – who flinches first."

Litecoin has more than tripled this year (based on the article)

• "Litecoin enjoyed some sharp gains today, pushing higher as the digital currency benefited from tailwinds such as the upcoming halving. At this point, litecoin had surged 16% in 24 hours and was trading at its highest since mid-May. Litecoin, which is very similar to digital sibling bitcoin, rose in value as several other cryptocurrencies experienced notable gains."
• "The cryptocurrency is scheduled to undergo a halving in August, at which point the mining reward will decrease from 25 LTC to 12.5 LTC."
• "When this event takes place, the rate at which new litecoin enters the market will reduce by 50%, potentially placing upward pressure on the digital currency's price."

Oil Prices Set to Follow Fundamental News Next Week (based on the article)

• "Abarrage of high-impact economic data points next week spanning US, Swiss and Canadian GDP reports, German jobs numbers, inflation data out of the US and Germany in addition to China’s manufacturing PMI could very well dictate where oil prices head from here. Sentiment may remain damaged if the market-moving data fails to inspire appetite for risk and expected demand for oil which could further threaten bullish prospects."
• "Although, a weakening US Dollar could pose as a positive tailwind to crude oil price gains. US Iran friction heating up may also bring upside to oil prices as it would likely crimp supplies. Additionally, crude could get a boost from building speculation over extended OPEC production cuts as the oil cartel’s next meeting on June 25 in Vienna draws nearer."

Dow Jones - Longest Losing Weekly Streak in 8 years (based on the article)

• "The Dow Jones looks set for the longest weekly losing streak in 8 years (5th consecutive week). As it stands, the outlook is relatively weak for the Dow Jones, does a close below 25500 could see losses extend towards the 25000 level. To negate the bearish momentum, eyes will be on for a break above 25700, which opens up the doors for 26100."
