Merck Could Be SicklyMerck has struggled for most of the year, and now some traders may look for another push to the downside.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the series of higher lows from mid-November through early last week. MRK has dropped below that line, which may be viewed as a bear-flag breakdown.
Second, prices tested the 50-day simple moving average and stayed below it. That may suggest its intermediate-term trend is headed lower.
Next, compare this price action with similar patterns in September. Also note that Wilder’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) slipped below its 14-day average both times. (See white arrows.)
Finally, MRK is pushing against the $99.14 level where it bottomed in 2023. Are double digits the new normal for the pharmaceutical giant?

Update levels AUDUSD 11.12.24I had to modify this analysis a little because I interpreted the closing triangle here which was wrong, plus I added some levels here and overall I think the market will go a little lower around the price of 0.62700, we could finally create an SFP from this zone, we could move somewhere for the price, easily around the level of 0.67, which is also the point where there is poc level suppor and the fibo level of 0.618, but for now it's still just a matter of waiting.
Bitcoin Continuation TargetsChart price scale is Logarithmic.
Fib ranges are based on log scale.
The multi year inverse head and shoulders is supporting the 1.414 level at ~$128,000.
The calculation for this structure is displayed on the chart. Subtract the range below the neckline and add it to the neckline break price level.
The 7 month consolidation in the form of a bull flag is displaying potential for over performance to the 1.618 level at ~$175,000.
The previous cycle reached the 1.618 level.
In previous cycles, RSI levels reached 85+.
The current RSI value is at 78 which supports room for expansion.
The MACD is vertical and rapidly expanding.
With the current velocity, my targets to the upside are $129,000 and $175,000 in Q1-Q2 of 2025.
BREAKOUT OF FLAG - HODL! $3.00 SOON As illustrated, price has respected the HODL area after breaking out of the bullish flag.
BTC's break to ATH has helped the general uptrend in the industry, and XRP continues to follow.
It was necessary to have had an accumulation phase the last couple of weeks. It comes to show that the market just made a stop in the uptrend.
Unless there's a break to the downside with significant volume and strength closing below $1.500, then XRP should continue to hold the psychological price of $2.000 .
Should momentum continue this whole week, we could see XRP reach $3.00 in the next few days, and potentially ATH above it by the end of the year and into 2025.

GOOD LUCK!
GOLD (XAUUSD): Is Bullish Continuation Confirmed?After a recent pullback, gold has retested a key structure that was previously broken.
Two strong bearish signals have emerged: the price has dropped below the neckline of a double top pattern and the resistance line of a bearish flag formation.
These breakdowns indicate a high probability of a continued bearish trend, with the market likely targeting the 2646 level next, followed by support at 2637.
XRP's Bullish Outlook: Flag Pattern Signals New Potential TargetXRP, the native cryptocurrency of the Ripple network, has been making significant strides in the cryptocurrency market. The recent price action has formed a classic bullish continuation pattern, known as a flag pattern, which suggests that the token may be poised for a substantial rally towards the $15 price target.
Understanding the Bull Flag Pattern
A bull flag pattern is a technical analysis chart pattern that indicates a potential continuation of an uptrend. It consists of a sharp upward move, followed by a period of consolidation, which resembles a flagpole and a flag, respectively.
In the case of XRP, the sharp upward move occurred earlier this year, and the subsequent consolidation phase has formed the flag portion of the pattern. If the price breaks above the flag's resistance level, it could signal a resumption of the uptrend, potentially leading to a significant price increase.
Factors Driving XRP's Bullish Momentum
Several factors are contributing to XRP's bullish outlook:
1. RLUSD Stablecoin Launch: The imminent launch of Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin is a major catalyst for XRP's price. This stablecoin is expected to increase the utility of XRP within the Ripple ecosystem, driving demand for the token.
2. Institutional Adoption: Ripple's growing partnerships with financial institutions around the world are boosting the adoption of XRP. As more institutions integrate XRP into their payment solutions, the demand for the token is likely to increase.
3. Positive Market Sentiment: The overall positive sentiment in the cryptocurrency market is also benefiting XRP. As investors seek out high-potential cryptocurrencies, XRP has emerged as a strong contender.
4. Technical Analysis: The bullish flag pattern and other technical indicators suggest that XRP's price could continue to rise.
Potential Risks and Considerations
While the bullish outlook for XRP is promising, it's important to consider the potential risks:
• Regulatory Uncertainty: Regulatory challenges, particularly in the United States, could impact XRP's price.
• Market Volatility: The cryptocurrency market is highly volatile, and sudden price swings can occur.
• Economic Factors: Global economic conditions, such as interest rate hikes and inflation, can influence the cryptocurrency market.
Despite these risks, XRP's strong fundamentals, coupled with the positive market sentiment and the upcoming RLUSD stablecoin launch, position the token for significant growth in the coming months. Investors should conduct thorough research and consider consulting with financial advisors before making investment decisions.
GOLD (XAUUSD): Bullish Continuation Confirmed?!Following a recent downturn, gold has retraced to a significant structure that was recently breached.
I've identified two strong bearish signals after its test: the price broke below the neckline of a double top formation and also fell below a resistance line associated with a bearish flag pattern.
These breakouts suggest a strong likelihood of a continued bearish trend.
It is highly likely that the market will keep declining, reaching the 2646 level shortly, followed by the 2637 support level.
Bitcoin Ascending Bullflag Breakout Target 140kI am still expecting significant resistance in the 120-130k range so to see this having a full target of 140k is pretty wild to me. Perhaps we have. Correction before reaching its full breakout target, or perhaps price sends a large wick above the resistance up there to hit this target before that resistance rejects price for a significant correction. Either way I do anticipate we rise to at least 120k on this next move up. *not financial advice*
SOLANA BULL FLAG BULLISH MOMENTUM!!!!The Solana (SOL/USD) chart shows a Bullish Flag pattern, which is a continuation signal that forms after a strong upward move (flagpole) followed by a short period of consolidation in a downward-sloping channel (flag). The yellow trendlines mark this consolidation area, and if the price breaks out above the resistance line, there's a solid chance for a big move up. The target is calculated based on the length of the flagpole, with a potential gain of 58.68%, aiming for around $311.17 (Fibonacci 161.80%). If the bullish momentum continues, the next target is $366.55 (Fibonacci 224.00%). The green zone highlights the reward potential, while the stop-loss at $182.64 limits risk to 6.62%, giving a solid risk-to-reward setup. With the main trend still bullish and strong support near $195.59, a breakout could signal the continuation of Solana's uptrend. 🚀 #Solana #BullishFlag #CryptoAnalysis #SOLUSD #Trading
Bull flag or pennant at 1000PEPEWhy not?
Pepe has been making me happy with intraday trading for the last six months for sure.
So why not?
On the wave of a good bullish trend and the fall of Bitcoin dominance, you can build a fairly simple, I would say, textbook pattern of a flag or pennant.
Let’s take the exit from the sideways trend as the base, the potential take of the pattern is 0.03999.
On the daily timeframe, the RSI has not even reached 90 and is very far from a technical break in the trend.
I assume the pattern will work.
EURGBP: Classic Breakout Trade 🇪🇺🇬🇧
EURGBP broke and closed above a key daily horizontal resistance
cluster on Friday.
Retesting the broken structure, the pair started to consolidate on that
on an hourly time frame.
A bullish violation of the consolidation is a strong bullish confirmation.
The price will most likely continue going up at least to 0.834

SOL $260 (up to 18%) - Consolidation could be overBINANCE:SOLUSDT is consolidating since the end of November after hitting the zone at $260. The consolidation looks overall very bullish (bull flag) and healthy. As you've seen in my analyse from 4 days ago the situation looks very good.
Also, Bitcoin is still holding very strong at $100K (currently at $103K). To determine, if the consolidation might be over we need to look a bit closer.
As we can see, we're currently still within the bull flag / consolidation channel between $260 and $200. Since December 11 we can see a bull flag within the bull flag after bouncing off from the support level at $203/$200. This might indicate that we've seen the low for now and are going to break the bull flag / consolidation channel. We've bounced from the 61,8 Fib from this little bull flag. A possible first target would be the resistance at $235. The next two targets would be $242 and finally $260.
If we go below $215 we might see another test of the $203/200 level. If you decide to test a long here, try to place your SL below $215 or (if you trade with a smaller size) below the $203/$200 level. Do not forget that we see a lot of liquidity grabs in crypto, so don't trade with a SL to close to support levels or they will be detected.

XRP/USD Analysis: From Explosive Rally to New Bullish SetupAfter breaking above the critical $0.65 resistance, XRP/USD surged dramatically, reaching a high near $3, close to its 2017 all-time high (ATH). As expected, a correction followed, but the bulls stepped in decisively at the $2 zone, halting further declines and establishing a strong support level.
Currently, XRP/USD is trading within a bullish flag pattern and appears to have broken above the pattern's resistance.
If this breakout holds, it could signal the beginning of a new leg higher, with a measured target around $3.70.
My preferred strategy in this scenario is buying dips, with a clear invalidation point if the price falls and stabilizes below the $2 support level.
