Trend Identification: Utilizing Higher Highs and Higher LowsTechnical Indicator - William Fractal
Setting - 20 period
About the Indicator : William Fractal is a technical analysis tool used by traders in financial markets to identify potential turning points and trends. It is based on the concept of fractals, which are self-similar patterns that repeat themselves on different scales. The William Fractal is formed when there is a series of five bars, with the middle bar having the highest high and the lowest low in comparison to the surrounding bars. Traders use this pattern to determine potential buy and sell signals, as a fractal forming at the bottom of a downtrend could signal a potential reversal, while a fractal forming at the top of an uptrend could signal a potential trend continuation. The William Fractal can be used in combination with other technical indicators to improve trading decisions.
Benefits of using William fractal indicator
Easy to Identify : The William Fractal is a simple and straightforward pattern to spot, making it accessible for traders of all skill levels.
High Accuracy : The pattern is based on the concept of fractals, which have a high degree of accuracy in identifying trend reversals.
Confirms Trend Strength : By highlighting areas of potential trend reversal or continuation, the William Fractal can help traders confirm the strength of a trend.
Improves Timing : By using the William Fractal in conjunction with other technical indicators, traders can improve the timing of their trades and increase the chances of success.
Identifies Key Turning Points : The William Fractal can help traders identify key turning points in the market, allowing them to make informed trades and take advantage of market movements.
Works in All Markets : The William Fractal is applicable across different financial markets, including stocks, forex, and commodities, making it a versatile tool for traders

BANK NIFTY:TIME CYCLE ANALYSISCYCLE PRINCIPLES:
1. The Principle of Commonality – Markets(Index) and security price(stocks) movements have many elements in common. In particular they tend to have common high and low points that coincide with cycles.
2. The Principle of Cyclicality – Price movements correspond to a combination of waves that exhibit cyclic characteristics.
3. The Principle of Summation – Cycle waves of different degrees combine to affect price movement and do so by adding the waves together.
4. The Principle of Harmonicity – Cycle waves of different degrees are harmonized and are related by a small integer value.comaan harmoics are 2nd and 3rd or 1/2 and 1/3.
5. The Principle of Synchronicity – Cycle waves are phased and synchronized at price troughs.
6. The Principle of Proportionality – Waves in price movement have amplitude that is proportional to their wavelength.
7. The Principle of Nominality – A specific, nominal collection of harmonically related waves is common to all price movements.
8. The Principle of Variation – Variation in harmonicity, synchronicity, proportionality and nominality (previous 4 principles) is expected.
FOLLOWING CYCLES ARE SHOWN HERE:
Cycle with second harmonic has given mid cycle dip where as cycle with 3rd harmonic has given higher peak there by confirming presence of cycle through sine wave like price strucutre.
270 DAYS:WHITE(WORKING IN 3RD HARMONIC,meaning it is divided in 3 equal length cycle of 90 days each)
90 DAYS:PINK(WORKING IN 2ND HARMONIC,meaning it is divided in 2 equal length cycle of 45 days each)
45 DAYS:GREEN(WORKING IN 3RD HARMONIC,meaning it is divided in 2 equal length cycle of 15 days each)
15 DAYS:YELLOW(WORKING IN 2ND HARMONIC,NOT SHOWN HERE)
Above mentioned things represents first 5 Principle of cycle theory,as we can see price movement having cyclic characteristics and higher degree cycle being divided in it's 2nd or 3rd harmonics,there by forming lows/troughs together.If we do summation of lower degree cycles then we get higher degree cycle which is representing principle of summation.
OBSERVATIONS:
#CURRENT PHASE OF CYCLE:
270 DAYS:BEARISH
90 DAYS:BEARISH
45 DAYS:BULLISH
15 DAYS:BULLISH
#Briefings of 270 DAYS CYCLE:
In the current 270 days cycle with 3rd harmonic,we have already seen 3/4th cycle high around 39360,there by suggesting us that 270 days cycle has completely turned bearish
#Briefings of 90 DAYS CYCLE:
Rise from 8th march in current 90 days cycle can be attributed 90 day cycle's 2nd harmonic cycle working in bullish phase,post mid-cycle dip @32155.Chances of this current rise to cross highest high of current 90 day cycle(39424) is very low as current 90 day cycle itself has turned negative or bearish
#Briefings of 45 DAYS CYCLE:
As it is working in it's 3rd harmonic meaning current 45 day cycle will have three 15 day's cycle or will be divided in three 15 days cycle.Currently 1st 15 day cycle is going on and it has reached it's halfway point meaning going ahead we can see one dip around 28-30 th march which will complete first 15 day cycle,from there we can again see prices pushing higher in order to make 45 day's mid-cycle high,this high can be higher then high registered in first 15 day cycle and around 22 april second 15 day cycle will end meaning a dip in price around 20-22 nd april,this will be followed by last 15 day cycle rise post where in we will see price unable to cross high posted in second 15 day cycle there by turning every cycle(15,45,90,270) negative.
13th May is the day when entire current 270 day cycle is ending meaning in 2nd-3rd week of may we can see bank nifty forming important low.
Analysis:
Scenario-1:Bearish/Road-blocks ahead for prices to move higher from current levels
1)FLD(136 days) @ 36436.
2)61.8% retracement from high to low of previous 45 day cycle @ 36647.
3)Ichimoku cloud @ 36428.
4)Falling OI in futures contract from last 6 days.
5)Higher degree cycle(270 and 90) has already turned negative indicating lower probability of making new high till 13th may.
6)We have seen prices breaching previous 90 day cycle low in current 90 day cycle again indicating selling pressure.
Personal view:
As bigger cycle has turned negative buying from current levels should be avoided and long positions should be protected with stop-loss as per once risk appetite.I feel post 12th April(2nd ,15 day cycle peak zone starts of current 45 day cycle)we can see decent selling pressure in Bank nifty as post 12th April all the major cycle's will turn negative.

NIFTY:TIME CYCLE INVERSIONConcept of Time Cycle:
#A cycle is something that influences the price movement of a financial market to move up towards a peak, and then to move down towards a trough (or low point).
#It repeats that action on a fairly regular basis or exist in continuous time.
#There are multiple cycles which influence the price movement of any financial market.The multiple cycles that influence price movements combine in a very particular way.
#This multiple cycle low's are synchronized as low are made on the back of "fear/panic" and psychologically human tends to experience fear in mass hence different cycle lows are concentrated where as high's of different cycles are scattered as high's are driven by "GREED" which is rather more subjective.
#J.M.HURST inventor of cycle theory has given a nominal model which states comman cycle's that are found in financial markets.
#Due to multiple cycle going on at the same time,we can see variation in it's wave length(Cycle period).
Observation over here:
Since January 2021 we are seeing Nifty following 20-days time cycle there by making important pivot low's near vertical line showing cycle period day on most of the occasions till January 2022.
Since January 2022 we are seeing inversion happening in the time cycle meaning instead of catching or making important pivot low near cycle period day we are seeing market making important pivot high post which we have seen significant market fall on last 2 occasion of cycle period day.
Next cycle period day is on 17/03/2022.Hence going by this logic we can expect current up move to continue till 17/03/2022 post which we can see fall.
Although this time in the current up move we have seen price breaking upper channel rasistance and has also managed to close above it and also above its previous pivot closing high of 16793(16800) in today's trading session,which in itself is bullish sign suggesting next target of 17050-80 on the upside,however from here risk reward is not favorable for taking long trade.
Although channel rasistance is broken,from last 2 cycle we are seeing Nifty making pivot high's post which we have seen nifty falling and continuing on this logic post 17/03/2022 we can see fall in Nifty till at least previous pivot low of 15670 in order to confirm double bottom.
Trade Setup
1)Need reversal candle near cycle period,price being at gap(17050-80) or previous price action zone(17340-400).
2)Next day market should trade below reversal candle low for atleast first hour in order to initiate trade.
Stop-loss should be reversal candle high for short trade and target would be 15670.

Bitcoin FractalFractal
Since August, fractal similar to May month is forming. This fractal is of 3 months (May to July) length and repeats after 3 month (August to October). Fractal holds similarities in price action like continuous rise in price for days, sudden big price fall, low and high in pattern are at same arrangement. This same pattern follows from October onwards.
Support:
Parabola formed becomes resistance to fractal after which price reverse back but now this parabola is broken and now this acts as a support.
Previous Zone between 13000 to 14000 is another big support level.
100 Daily MA had been support for both May and August, so it is a possible support. I have extended MA 100 line expecting such formation.
Their is one possibilty that BTC will keep moving along resistance and will bounce up wherever fractal had pumps.
Invalid:
This fractal could fail if BTC keeps on moving up breaking resistance.
What is UPTREND in #priceaction trading?If the market is pulling towards upside direction with less magnitude towards downside direction we can call it as an uptrend.
Characteristics of an uptrend:
1) Higher High and higher low pattern in the swings
2) Less magnitude in secondary swings or downside swings in this case
Hope this helps:)

Triangle on NiftyTriangle with flat top at 6340-6360 was observed on Nifty during 2008-2013. That almost coincides with UPA II. A break out happened in March 2014 to achieve exact 61.8% level at 9120. I'm excited because this is the first triangle I am trying to interpret, and it gave very encouraging results.
What makes this interesting are the break-out attempts as soon as Narendra Modi was announced as BJP prime ministerial candidate, and real break out during the election season - opinion polls and campaigning. We all know that the results were not a big surprise, just the non-dependence on allies of NDA II was the surprise. Who would have thought, behind such a political upheaval, there would be a simple chartist explanation !!
This idea is the first in series of three historical patterns observed on Nifty. Please feel free to share our comments / opinions.
