【5/14】"A decisive wait calls forth what comes next."
I will proceed with a hesitant empathy-based approach.
There are days when you want to enter but you lack clear grounds—those days exist, right? This morning I opened the chart and felt the same. To put it briefly, the conclusion today is “to wait.”
Today's Market Situation
The current price is hovering around $4,691.
The EMA20 on the 1-hour chart (short-term moving average) is 4,694, and EMA75 (mid-term moving average) is 4,697, tightly clustered within a $3 range. The EMAs are entangled and there is no clear direction. The RSI (an indicator showing overbought/oversold) was 52.73 three hours ago, but now is 47.53, dipping below 50, indicating a slight downward pressure.
The previous day’s high is $4,727 and the previous day’s low is $4,638, giving a range of about $89. The current price sits roughly in the middle of that.
In short, both directions are possible, and the direction has not been decided yet.
Gogo Taro's View

Today’s 1-hour chart shows the EMA20 below the EMA75. It looks like it may be moving toward a downtrend, but EMA200 (4,681) is still below EMA20. This is a sign of being in a transition phase—a setup not yet completed for a downward trend.
If the price clearly breaks above $4,727 (the previous day’s high), I would question a shift upward. If it drops below $4,638 (the previous day’s low), I would anticipate a acceleration downward.
I used to rush into entries in such indecisive markets, thinking I had to do something. The result, as you can imagine, was a series of stop-outs. Now I have learned to accept “not acting” as a decision as well.
Today I will keep both scenarios in mind and wait for one to become clear.
Today's Reference Line
There is no clear entry point meeting RR1.5 today, so I will refrain from entering. The following is for reference only.
▼ Short (selling on a bounce) Reference zone: $4,705–$4,715 (basis: 1H BB upper around $4,709.698) Reference take-profit line: $4,640 Reference stop-loss line: $4,720 (basis: 15M EMA200 + $20 → key level) Expected RR: 7.0 (reference value; entry below standard is at your own discretion) Note: These values are for educational reference only. Please make actual trading decisions yourself.
I will omit the breakout-sell justification today because I cannot derive the take-profit grounds after breaching the previous day’s low from the input numbers.
Important Lines
Resistance 1: $4,727 (basis: previous day’s high) Resistance 2: $4,697 (basis: 1H EMA75) Resistance 3: $4,695 (basis: 1H EMA20) Support 1: $4,638 (basis: previous day’s low) 1H EMA200: $4,681 (this line provides substantial support in the big picture)
