The Reverend Dr. Andy Stoker is an interfaith leader who has served as a United Methodist pastor for more than 20 years. Today, he is chief engagement officer at the Thanksgiving Foundation. Jessica Vargas, mission coordinator in the North Texas Conference Center for Church Development, supports leaders across the conference as they identify new ways to engage their communities for Christ. Pastor Kayla Nicole Raglin is first into the spark tank, asking for the shark's investment in health care and worship, which will bring meaningful worship experiences and tangible gifts into the hospital setting as a ministry to engage health care workers. I am a chaplain. I was able to work prior to COVID, during COVID, and now. And staff burn out. Patients are always sick. Families are very emotionally going through a lot during this time. And we know that the pastoral departments do not make the hospital money. So everything that they provide that's ministry is donated between the community and the church. And so they need us to continue to supply the support that they have. Well, hello. Good afternoon. I am Pastor Kayla Raglin from the Village United Methodist Church. So health care and worship is the new ministry space idea. And as a chaplain, I've been a chaplain for eight years. So I've been a chaplain before COVID, during COVID, and after and now, during the present time. And what we have experienced is a very emotional and spiritual weight in the hospital system. It's more heavy than we know. And we know, I know if I'm a chaplain, but a lot of people don't understand that the spiritual need is so great, and there's not enough people to feel that need. And so this is where health care and worship comes in. I work for Charlton Methodist Hospital down in Oakcliff. And our hospital responded to this burnout by providing different ministry items like the lavender lounge. So if you go to a lavender lounge and you work at Charlton Methodist, if you have a bad day in your staff, you can go there and you can have different items like granola bars or tea, or it's a low-miding, it's a massage room, and it's a secluded room where no one goes. You have to have a coat, okay? We also provide, this is our veteran salute. And so these are veteran blankets that stung by volunteers, but the pastoral staff presents it to families who have lots of people who are veterans in United States military. But these things, you know, are not paid for by hospitals. So this is something you will find on a tea cart. So any given day, we will take a tea cart around for staff to have a pause to reflect during the day so they're not just going, going. We'll take a time of pause and reflection. So I brought up, and these are type of ministry items that we provide to people who are needing support, like patients who are needed support, or people who are not Christian who are needed support, because as chaplains, we try to provide ministry to all people. And so with healthcare and worship, not all health facilities have chaplains, but those who do have chaplains, they do not make the hospital money. So everything they get is supplied by the community. People like you mean the church. And so that's, we wanted to take a portion of our grant and choose pastoral departments who need that support and demand the pie. So that's step one. Step two is to choose a day where we can join them in worship. So they can come, I like the old fashion revival, so they can come to the parking lot or a common space and join us in worship, whether it's dance or singing or whether it's speaking. We can bring in different type of denominations. Even we just give them the vicinity of Christ. That's all we, you know, we plant the seeds. And that's, and that's okay. And have them come day for a day of worship. Come down from wherever they are and join us in worship for that day and also have a prayer team. So that's most important and being able to pray for them. But we also want to do prayer request cards. So we start this at the village, the young adult ministry, and we want to partner with this ministry as well, where when we do have a day in worship, we have cards that we can give people to take back with them. So now we're not just giving you something, but now we want to connect with you. So 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Right now, you guys can call the number, you can call. If it's a devotional, you can hear a devotional and you can leave a message. And there's people who have, who have agreed to pray for a certain time, you know, take responsibility praying over the mind for that week. And so that's basically healthcare worship is to just join our brothers and sisters in this healthcare facility, this, this network in ministry, the spiritual way they carry it's heavy. Let me start first, Kayla. I'm, so a couple of things. The first is I'm the spouse of a pediatric nurse. So what you're doing for those on the front line is absolutely critical for exactly what you said. It was difficult pre COVID, COVID brought a holy host of new challenges to those working on the front lines. And now it seems like our healthcare world is in chaos. So thank you so much for offering that. The second is I'm the advisory board chair at Methodist, Methodist Dallas Medical Center. And so I have heard firsthand on how this type of ministry going on really affects the morale, the culture, and the patient relationship that those on the front line offer. So I'm encouraged by this. I want to be the first one out of the gate to say, I'd like to offer $2,500 for your ministry. And if there's anything else that could, that I could lend, I'm not quite sure what that is yet. I'd like to hear what the other sharks have in mind too that maybe I could lend a little bit of support and health regarding either healthcare advocacy or just being a spouse of a nurse. What does that look like and share in that vein? But Kayla, thank you so much for your presentation. I'm encouraged by this work. Thank you. Thank you. So this is pretty close to me as well. I own home health agencies. We have an average daily census of about 700 patients. Probably have a hundred and hundred nurses, I guess, that work for me all over the state. And COVID was tough. These people were asked to go do things that they're watching the news. They're reading the newspaper, you know, wear a mask, go do this. It's going to kill everybody, all that stuff. These nurses were going into the patient's rooms. These nurses were my nurses going into their homes, bringing that back to their home, knowing that their kids, you know, when we didn't know a whole lot about COVID and clinicians felt like they were on an island, it was encouraging to see the country as a whole kind of prop these people up and it made them feel good. I will tell you that in my business, we pray daily for our nurses. All of our agencies did. They would have every morning they would be meeting and they would pray for each other. And I think for nurses to know nurses, doctors, anybody that works in that hospital, and it's not just clinicians. It is people that work in the hospitals for them to know that people are praying for them, needs more probably than just I'll talk to really know and to really witness that people are thinking about us, you know, caring about us and understand the things that we're going through. I'd like to jump on board too with with $2,500 to do this. I think it's great. I think it's something that like you said our healthcare industries in chaos right now and it needs a lot of support and needs prayer more than anything. So I think it's great what you're doing. Anything that I can do to help, you know, I'm a phone call away, but I applaud you for what you're doing. Healthcare is more than just like you said, clinical technician. Every day I made sure the cleaning people were my best. I wish you understand how it worked. Absolutely. And they look at me and say, yes, you are very important to us. So thank you for saying that. You have to remember, who are the people that are all of the PPE stuff that the nurses had to wear? Who are the people disposing of? Who are the people bringing food to the patients? All of that stuff. Well, you're chaplain with the hospital or hospice, but just okay. All right. That's a tough job.   You've already gotten investors, two sharks, five thousand. My question is, I'm a little confused about your proposal because I see that you start out identifying this new ministry as being involved in rehab centers and nursing homes and all these different facilities. And then you say that some of the money is going to be for your once a month worship and you need a stage. So I'm not saying $5,000 buys a lot of this kind of stuff, which is so important to show that we care, that we know that this is difficult work. So keep telling us a little bit more about where your worship comes in and what stage you want paid for it. Being able to have one day, so say for for Methodist Health and say it may fit on this day, we're going to have an hour of worship. And on this day, and I gave an example, I like to have the parking lot, but whatever the health system is able to facilitate me and say, no, we want to go into our conference room. No, we want to do this. But in my mind, I want to have it outside. So that's obvious. They can have it outside. I want to have it outside and have people come outside, you know, either way. So that's where, so however we could facilitate that day and worship. And so yes, so that includes nursing homes, rehabilitation center, because I'm in and out of there all day that I know they need help. I talk to the activities directors all the time. I stop by and say, thank you. If they're doing something, I stop by and I make sure I participate, you know, to show that I appreciate them. So I know that they need that. And it doesn't always have to be on a large scale. Methodist is a big system. But you know, we have these small, small healthcare facilities as well. So tell us what you're going to do on your day of worship at Charleston. Is that where you're going in? I've already talked to them, they're really finding about it. So they are excited about. So for Charleston, we are, we want to have it in the parking lot. And so we'll have our dance team and then our worship team, Zion, and then a speaker. I would like to have a speaker that's not a part of our church, and then have a Lutheran and Catholic priest there and have no rosaries available as well as prayer and prayer cards. So we can be, you know, sensitive to all the faiths. Like I said, as long as we can get them into the vicinity of Christ, you know, so the things that the spirit work on the heart. So yeah, good. So. Well, we appreciate so much you being here. We are thankful for your ministry and the fact that you keep finding new ways of connecting with people, bring them to the vicinity and, you know, having them learn and to know more about Jesus and the love that they need to know so much right now. We appreciate the effort that you put into your application. You're walking away with two sharks and $5,000. So congratulations and thank you so much. Thank you. We appreciate. Okay. All right. Thank you guys. It will allow me to be able to do what I say I was going to do, which is supply ministry items to the health care system, hopefully, hopefully, lifting that spiritual weight that they are carrying and just be able to join the ministry and show them that the church is still here and we're still willing to help and connect. So I'm excited. I feel very good and supported and I think the experience was worth more than the money for sure. Hearing the feedback and how I touch the individual hearts is definitely worth, worth gold. But I'm very excited and I'm ready to get back to ministry. Heading into the tank is pastor Rebecca Grogan, whose hope, love, peace, joy, ministry is designed to engage the thriving senior population that surrounds Good Shepherd United Methodist Church in Lucas, Texas. It came to me twofold. One was the age of the congregation and the other was the of our congregation. And the other was through the Genesis cohort. I had to do a lot of research on the community and the surrounding area and found that we had a good percentage of seniors, 55 plus, that were either empty nesters or retired. 26 percent of them are retired. So we found that this was not something that was being addressed either by the city or any other church in the community. So we decided that would be a perfect niche to come into with our new building. You may be familiar with Missy Buchanan, but she's an author and an advocate for older adults. And she has a blog and I read this in her blog and I think it kind of suits where we feel that the senior ministry should go. The church needs to make it a priority to get people across the lifespan by talking about aging and spiritual terms. And so this is what we are wanting to do with our new space. One of the things we want to do is start this new ministry, folk love, peace joy, senior ministry. What I found out in my research is that Lucas does not the city of Lucas nor none of the other churches in Lucas have a senior ministry. So we think this is an ideal place for us to start. It also, through the Genesis cohort, I had to do a lot of research, had to use my mission inside. And I found out that this is one of the most underserved areas in churches and communities actually. Mission Insight said that in 2022 we have 26.5% of our population and Lucas is a 55-year-old. So that's a good point. The prediction for 2032 is 32.3%. So it's something that's going up. This is not something that's just going to be for a short period of time. This is something that's going to grow with the community. So we are really excited about it. When I presented it to the congregation, they got very excited about it because they could do it. You know, this is something they can do because they're older adults. And so they can sit and talk to people and be pastoral and do things with them and go places with them. They couldn't sit on the floor and play with kids because they couldn't get up. So that was kind of our deal. It's not that we don't think that the families and children are important. We have to begin where we can. And this is where we can begin. So looking at all the information that I thought went through, I noticed that the number one problem for older adults is loneliness because a lot of them live by themselves. And then the second thing is adjusting to that time in your life where you can't do things exactly like you used to. You have to learn tools, learn ways of doing things. And so we thought that this would be a good way for us to start our senior ministry by having a program that's from 10 to 2 once a week. And we'll either have speakers or projects, mission projects that we can do, games. So we're going to serve lunch, put out a little donation basket for that, and have them stay there and become familiar with one another through all these things. Playing games is the best way to find out about people because you talk about who you are and where you've been and whatever. So that's a good way for us to do that also. And then we can reach out into the community. We can start bringing people in because this will be the only place where we'll have this all during the week, probably have it on Thursdays. That's what the idea is right now. And we can reach out into the community and make a community and become part of the church by this process. And I wanted to finish with one of Missy's friends. Her name is Foamy. She lives in the hill country, but she has, she's 93. She had major surgery. She had her hip and her knee replaced and she's sailing through it. And so she has these things that she says to people when she talks to older adults. And these are her mantra, I guess you'd say.  And so that is really kind of our mantra that we've gathered from all of this. I think this is a great idea. I've read it here you're talking about doing, having speakers come in and things like that to talk to seniors. And I think there's a lot of things that people probably get confused on. I'm in healthcare. There's a lot of stuff out there about Medicare, Medicare replacements, all of this stuff. That's very confusing. I think that's a great opportunity to bring people in. To talk about that so they can really ask questions and get the real answers to what they see from Joe Neymet or JJ Walker on TV. And they talk about how old they look. That's all. Tell me how you arrived at the four hour time frame. I know that, like in Plano, they have senior days. And when I was in the colony, the city did a senior thing. And it was generally a four hour kind of thing. And they had a meal in between so that people could kind of come in whenever they got there and be able to just kind of fit into the thing. So that was basically why I did it that way. I mean, that's what I suggested. And everybody was like, I think that's a good idea. They really want to have lunch. They liked to cook. So they were all for the meat. So I thought that that sounded fine. I don't know if it'll be too long or not. I really don't. But we're going to try it. Let's see what it works out. For Rebecca, from the proposal, look like you and your church are looking into doing this once a week. Yes. And so my question is with a lot of your a lot of your program activities that you just sent to us just now, I was curious about after the grant money is used, what are plans for yourself and your church to continue to sustain the programming? I know there are costs associated with food and speakers and activity apps. I think a couple of things will happen. I think that these people are excited about doing this in their church. But I think once they see it, they will want to support it even more. They have been they've already given to the program in its small amounts, but you know, a couple of thousand dollars, you know, that pretty nice. But I think once they see it and how it works and how they could be involved in it, because of what I told them is that I want them to come and sit with them. No standing in the kitchen. You have to go out there and set up the tables. You have to get to know them. You have to become a part of it. And they were like, yeah, that's what I want to do. You know, so that they're fine with that, first of all, but but I want it to be something where we minister to them. So if they have, they are like brief recoveries, one of the programs in there, if they're dealing with having a spouse that have recently passed away, I want them to be feel like they've got some place that's safe. I think that's something that and it wasn't in the number one priorities, but I think safety is a very big one for adults, but to know that older adults that they're not going to be taken, that they're not going to be used or and that they're going to be safe, that it's a safe place for them to be. So I think we'll be able to fund it. I have a question, Rebecca, about so folks are coming in, having this experience in the church, will there be an invitation to engage more deeply in community? For example, when you're offering the memory care speaker component, will there be an invitation for Lucas to be a dementia friendly city? Will there, I mean, just sort of a sort of sanctifying grace ministry where we learn inside the church, we're going to take outside the walls and transform the community? Yes, that's the whole thing is for that to be something that Lucas is known for, that this is a good place for seniors. You've got a place to start and you've got and like the mission end of it, we want to find places where they can plug into that and feel like they're being useful because most of the time the reason that we lose our obsessed for life is we have no purpose. And so this is something that we can give purpose to everybody that goes in there and continue to assess as we go along, you know, what needs to be done or what new program can we do so that we can get them to feel like this is their place. How many seniors have you spoken to that have told you that they really want this? A lot. I tell us about how you reached through the Genesis cohort, I had to go visit. So I went to the Walmart and talked to people about you know what they like here and well there's not very much to do here and so I talked to some of the older people about what well I wish I had more friends around to talk to and you know so it was just kind of a casual dawning and then the people in the congregation bring their friends a lot and so with some of them stayed quite a few of them stayed but they they came because they you know needed a community they you know I maybe had a couple of people that were family members that were around the area but they wanted a community so that's you know it was pretty much just hands-on feet on the feet on the sidewalk kind of thing so that'd be very official. What's the population of Lucca? roughly 20,000 22,000 it's only nights where miles and it's almost built up okay so that's the population actually stops 2032 it starts to flap because it's just it's all built up that's it so that's why we're trying to hope to get in at this point since it's going to be a growing thing and be able to really become a part of the community in a lot of ways. Rebecca how will this ministry this new space create or help to make new disciples of Jesus Christ? I've pastored in seven churches and this is by far the archer city's the second but by far the friendliest church I have ever seen I will see people you know new people in the congregation and by the time I get off the chancel area I have to stand in line to talk because people are you know talking to them and asking them where they live and who do they know and you know all these kinds of things so we have a really open congregation and it helps bring people in and that's why they stay is because they're immediately made into part of the community so we continue we'll continue to do the same thing. For Becca I'll tell you what I love about this is we all spend so much time and energy beating our heads against the ground looking for young family right young families, children, young families, children and somewhere along the way I think we have forgotten our empty nesters and our folks that are not ready to give it all up yet right and I think in communities like Lucas it's something like this could be very attractive so Rebecca I'm in I'll give you $5,000 for this man thank you so much thank you. I will tell you this and I think it's a great idea if you'll call me and you can get my number I'd be more than happy to come speak to your group at one of your meetings or something that would be great if it could bring you know some nurses or something like that but I mean weren't happy to do that so you're my contact information all right thank you very much well that's amazing you got shark and you already got a spritzer so thank you thank you so much for reading over full so thank you for being here this morning and we appreciate all the work you're doing thank you so much I am feeling elated this is great beginning for this ministry and I think it'll excite our congregation and give them the confidence to know that the conference is behind us and supporting us in this way


In this video, we're going to show you how to create in a classroom a rich environment on a mathematical occasion for literacy. We will examine each element, step by step, in order to help you create a unique environment that can help you with literacy.  As a consultant, when I'm working with teachers, it's very evident when I walk into a classroom that is literacy is definitely happening, but it's really important that our environment support the mathematical instruction as well. We need to think about the physical space. We need to think about our walls being that extra teacher that supports our students for their learning to optimize learning. So some of the things that we really need to think about is we need to take a look at our physical environment. So when we talk about a guided math classroom, we need to have an area where whole group instruction can occur. We need to have an area where we can pull small groups of students so we can have intentional math lessons with them. And we need to have areas in our rooms that support stations and learning where groups of children, you know, four or five, can get together to really work together on a center or a station. We need to be able to create work spaces to support individual learning, collaborative or together. When you plan the physical training of your classroom, think about creating a space where you can welcome the whole class. It's a space where all your students gather to participate in mathematical discussions during which they learn new vocabulary words, learn new mathematical stations and participate in the introduction and closing activities to only cite a few examples. In this space, make sure you have access to resources such as large-format paper, markers, adhesive notes, an interactive board and large object of manipulation in mathematics. Then, create another space where a small group of students can gather for a lesson in mathematical guidance. Often, it will be around a table of guided reading in the form of a rickshaw, but it can also be on the tap or anywhere else where you can deliver a mathematical teaching for a group chosen by students. The station or the workshop centers are spaces in your classroom where two small groups of students gather to play games, activities or to use technology while another small group of students is with you, the teacher. This can be in several offices or a small table. In these spaces, make sure that the students have access to objects of manipulation and can move freely. When mathematicians decide to do three C, that's not a unit. That's not like three meters or three kilometers where we would normally see a letter. It means multiplied by. So when I have three C. Mathematics have their own language. If students don't understand the mathematical language used in their vocabulary, they can't use it to develop their understanding of the future. A word wall of mathematics is an effective tool that encourages independence, develops vocabulary and supports reading and writing in mathematics. Communication in mathematics goes beyond words. To present a word of mathematical vocabulary, don't forget to include an image or a diagram. This will help a lot the learnings of the French language and the students having low cognitive abilities. Your mathematical word wall is important and serves details to the students. If they are writing their ideas and don't know a word, they can find it on the wall. If they don't remember how to draw a graphic on the wall, they can find an example on the wall. These walls must be a living part of your classroom. Interactive and in constant evolution, they develop and adapt in order to respond to the needs of your students. Do you often refer to the word wall during your math lessons and regularly do activity games such as reading in thought, bingo or Pictionary so that students frequently use mathematical words? This word wall must become a part of their everyday mathematical communication. What we're seeing here is the lesson I was doing today was extending the learning from 2D shapes, moving it to 3D objects. So in previous lessons what I have is the word wall which was built on vocabulary and basics of the 2D shapes. So today what we did then is we added the terminology and vocabulary needed for them to solidify their understandings in the 3D unit. So what this does for the students is it's interactive in the sense that they now can come up and it becomes the visual cue. They can come up and actually manipulate and use the actual wording, vocabulary, diagrams in their learning as a tool to further and deepen their understandings. Creating a literature and establishing mathematical lines from fictional stories or not helps to enlarge the reflection of the students. During the lecture at Haut-de-voix, ask your students to share the stories where the mathematics are present, or use an image book as an introduction activity to present a new concept or mathematical subject. The manipulation objects are an effective tool to develop a deeper understanding of the mathematics. The students create links between the objects of concrete manipulation and abstract mathematical ideas. You can tell me something that you know about 2D shapes. The tables in mathematics are visual resources that support the teaching and support the reflection of the reasoning and the problem of the students.  So when we're doing anchor charts, and specifically this one is kind of beautiful for that, is I purposely left the real connection to the end part of the lesson. So that often I will do it at the beginning part, which I referenced to, you know, a lesson we did before, but in this case I ended with such that they understand that what they're needing to learn and to cover and what have has that real world connection. And because I use their voice, again, that just anchors the importance of why we need to be numerous in society. And so for me, that's why I asked them if I could take ownership of what they put here so that it just connected their learning to the real world. It's important to have class tables in our classroom that are easy to access so that the students can refer quickly. The tables can serve different purposes. They can put access to a skill, a concept, or a mathematical strategy. Often represented on paper and paper, anchor tables can serve to repair socialization during a group work, during a review of the key vocabulary, when we put in evidence the process of a mathematical operation or the way to reflect on a subject. Don't forget, anchor tables must be co-created with the students. Reflect the last lesson of mathematics and need to be detailed and supported. Support the development of a mathematical language, be organized and accurate, often contain more images than text, and stay displayed for a whole unit of studies to be able to refer easily. The anchor tables reflect the learning prepared for the students. They allow this memory of strategy, of specific procedures and concepts, encourage independence and develop a new confidence in mathematics. Come show me one way to solve two, ten, five using equal groups.  Thanks to relevant conversations on mathematics, the students develop their knowledge, communicate what they know, and establish more solid mathematical links. The teachers are no longer the only heritages of knowledge. They support and guide the students to help them improve their understanding. When we correct the students to be involved actively, learning becomes constructive. Before the passive audience, the students are now actively engaged participants, eager to ask questions, express and defend their ideas and analyze their reasoning. In the next video, we're going to take a look at how you as students of your own classroom can get started with small group guided math. Next time, thanks for watching this video.


The Independent National Electoral Commission says 40% of newly registered voters are students. Ayanak Chiaman Mahmood Yakubu also said 76.5% of the newly registered voters are young people. Speaking at a third quarterly meeting with political parties in Abuja, Yakubu disclosed that 9,518,188 new voters have been added to the existing register of 84,004,084 voters. Thousands of diligent staff for the CBR exercise and the vast majority of them discharged their duties conscientiously. Unfortunately, a few of them did not. The fictitious registrations were carried out by some of our registration officers involved in the field exercise and could easily be traced. Each registration machine is operated using an access code tied to a dedicated email assigned to a staff that is therefore an audit trail that gives a total number of persons registered by each official involved in the registration exercise. In some cases, some of them made as many as 40 attempts or more to register one fake voter and yet were able to detect the shalani guns. As a result, the commission has so far identified 23 registration officers involved in this unethical conduct and disciplinary action against the staff has commenced. We shall continue to protect the integrity of our voters register. It is by voter to credible elections. It is also a national asset and easily the largest database of citizens in Africa.

Yeah, so, okay Don't know why it defaulted to the other one. Oh cool Welcome back everybody welcome back to another stream hopefully you guys are doing great and Let's get started. So I mean interesting sort of weekend we ended up going up, which is the direction we wanted to go in but Friday was a bit quiet which sort of I mean if we sort of zoom in to Friday We can see sort of what bright ended up doing and we can look at it on like a traditional chart And we can see that yeah Asia did come in spike downward. No that New York came in took the high of the range We were expecting price to go higher It sort of mellowed out just above 50% but ended up just continuing up sort of and And so over pushing high So I mean just coming back into the zone really I mean you can see how it just the whole weekend stayed above you see that liquidity here during sort of Saturdays and Sunday change over then that sort of explosion into the night Leading into sort of well Asia open Asia finally being open for sort of trading now that the Chinese New Year is now done Is that it's okay to the Chinese New Year Lunar New Year something like that I don't but yeah, they are back to trading now regular hours. So no more breaks Which is good. That means we finally have everyone who wants to be trading on board so we can have all the volumes And all the testies You can see that during the weekend We sort of developed sort of very sort of nice and on that Saturday here Sort of yeah, even though we had illiquidity It was more so protected under the fact that we have major shorts here and bids coming here to protect it and Hitting up what you got that typical sort of one two three push and Then finally what as soon as we change over and have ears opened because you could have tell that Okay, if they're moving this during the weekend There's going to be expiries because we talked about yes on the Friday The fact that most retail people and most retail traders will be watching for this particular breakout here Just because they would have marked From here and here and seen that okay if it goes above this one we buy and there should be some Reason to sort of buy here according to them so closing here Is a very major key. So the fact that whatever Bitcoin did was to just Empty out the books and balance the books out during the weekend whilst The ES was closed. So that's something you want to take note of future reference If it's your first time seeing this kind of behavior because it's not very atypical behavior It's mostly common that they do this when one thing's closed They sort of move another market when they can to get it In the position they wanted so they don't have to say let's say if this was still here and it did sort of end up mellowing out They would have had to drag it down without taking the short liquidity off so they chose to do it on the Sunday and Come up high give the same structures that Yes was here. So yes was already here at Friday. So this was the Friday close And you can see the Friday close for Bitcoin being here so you can see that they just wanted to grab as much liquidity as they possibly can and finish on the same sort of Pattern which is double top and just slam it down when yes ends up ultimately trading down based off of sort of Volume and the breakout so we can shift to sort of the raindrop view and I can see the volume You can see there you go There's that first open increase in sort of buy volume or and the close for the buy volume Then finally sort of declines down And comes back to sort of normalcy Now we have to sort of look and see if we're potentially gonna find points to sort of trade down to This wall moving just now. So there's again another good reason to have a heat map. You can see that It was ever present during the weekend. So You could have just said, oh, yeah, it's a long standing wall Sold bunch yesterday. Yeah Good good plan And they move this out. So instead of this being considered in the running now We sort of put this up in the air. It's like, okay. This is no longer a Target they're moving this down and ultimately this wall might move down as well Once they reach price close to it It does seem to show the same characteristic as the prior wall. So it's the same person just Looks like it hit close enough to their bottom line so they moved away The only thing on the downside is it's pretty sort of stable in saying that it's mostly new shorts that are being opened up Starting the week, right? Yeah. Good morning I mean, yeah, it's good. Good thing. It's just again. It's everything that we noted for yesterday Friday stayed for the weekend. I mean It was a Well, we were right in the long on the week on the Friday. It's just having the patience to stick this Stick this out But yeah, yes was a different sort of thing where it came up to here I mean and you could have said, okay, cool.  I mean this two folds this breakout I mean if you're a head and shoulders traded and we talked about how we don't really trade head and shoulders But they would have done this for the most part and you can see as soon as they hit past this point. They bought Perfectly on on that area here as soon as this broke. They bought without remorse. It's just blind Subservience at this point. They're thinking. Oh, yeah, look, it's gonna go up here.  I don't know I Always stand the reason that you don't really want to trade these patterns especially at the high points Because becoming relied on them especially when you I mean if you if no one bought they would have dragged it up And then till someone bought and then they said, okay, cool.  Let's put this back down. Oh There we go So, I mean worries that you pretty far down for the day. I mean Monday's expanding I think we ideally want a Monday to settle out before anything Conclusive because it's still up in the air in terms of what it will ideally want to do This is our current sort of range we're dealing with We're really far removed from the sort of daily imbalance point here. So coming back to retest is will be I mean we already did that here. You can see that fast rejection away from it that continuation From London you can see that that fast movement doesn't even give it chance to reciprocate a stop on or whatnot It's just rejection. Okay. Goodbye here So it's probably safe to say we might expect a bit more down I think we're still using them. We'll still most likely use ES as a guys potentially find out reversal points I Mean if we do end up sort of mellowing out, it'll be just sort of clear out the shorts that have been stacked up So maybe we sort of poke our heads above here or even just around this area here Before continuing down give us a nice little Head and shoulders and then We'll see if that goes down, but it won't break too far We'll see if it just takes the stops here then reverses Or if it gives you the adequate liquidity to drive it down to this slow here Looks messy, but again, if you listen to the explanation, you should be able to discern what it says Going back to sort of bitcoins all the floor again, like I said, it's really heavy short. So I Mean, even if we drag into just looking at the newer sort of data sets past the points that were already liquidated it's just sort of Very sort of heavy on on the sort of short side at this area. I mean, we do have these new alongs by gain Most of these would be caused by liquidations and this certainly being a liquidation cause This again mixture of liquidations the first being liquidations and the second driver liquidations here Then the final set of liquidations that were eaten by this wall here Then ultimately melds out Then you finally got some actual real buyers again volume and the weekends are low for a reason It's because the exchanges are not open they get to move it however they want Because most people won't be trading especially on the side of the institutions Coming back to sort of historical points were probably most Likely in our mind's we can say that most of these were liquidated if not all As yeah, I would not say all they'll be points with high liquidations But we can say the majority of them as a collective were liquidated and you can see that they targeted the highs here So even if they didn't get liquidations, they got stopped in the form of a Play people placing stops at this a high wick here no conviction long like 22 98 2298 We'll see I mean New York still has to settle itself. I mean that they are sort of building short here I kind of want to see how far they take this stop on here If it releases a lot of liquidity that means we've got a lot of new orders pending here So that would just be a clearing out then will probably double bottom then a push but after that, I think Then probably you're more safe You're safer in a long But generally it's not too bad. I mean you've got your your I mean technically you already have that sort of with here With here you got your sort of that potential buy structure coming out or flight up variants even if it just caps here or Take stops here just to continue to go down because again, this is just a lot of cell Selling same thing here. So their stops will probably be around here or here So if we take those we'll probably close and go lower Oh Sorry about that Let's check on for news. I mean we can look at in US. US have nothing on for Monday. I was checked the rest of the world We already had Germany come in at 4 a.m. EST We've got China I'm joking. Sorry Bunch of Asians countries again, they're back from holiday. So we'll see probably Asian times.  No timings other than the usual timings, which is just 10 and midday Which is lunch launch time I mean lunch tomorrow Bit more news coming out from us Well, it's actually you see we got that on Tuesday the international trade deficit Previous was this. We just have to beat that. I mean, that's eight. That's the only really important news on sort of major report Inflation 11 p.m. a.m. a.m. So move out timers a bit early for tomorrow And then we got consumer credit, which is important because I Think especially with I think I was watching a documentary on I think I let me find out for you guys It was interesting not documentary what YouTube documentary Let's see What was called? There we go. Yeah I rule as the title is good on by now pay layer echoes of 28 recession is an interesting video to say the least Yeah, you know that's the learn a lot about These sort of by now pay layer companies and how they were And how it's not really profitable. I mean now they are somewhat but I mean only some of them barely but generally not really popular because securing short-term loans against I mean, they have to go against banks. Oh, yeah, you don't need a bank. Oh, yeah It's just similar things is everyone's using credit rather than everyone in the actual fear that they have which is Quite detrimental to other people Again enough digressing let's go back to our charts where in terms of Supporting levels looks like in that area here We did create some some sets for our resistance over there. We don't need banks any cells Damn and try to convince the US to convert to Celsius and we can talk No, I mean us have been very adamant of sticking to Fahrenheit. So That'll see this is going to be a tough switch for them It's funny, right? I'm such a hot median So yeah over the weekends we did develop Some new support here that four hours. So that's coming in at 22 and 98 But I mean the next level down is a previous one that we did trade out But if we did if we end up stopping here and this does end up showing that it wants to At least in the interim go higher at least at least till here I think that's where we taper our expectations as a first point if it goes higher it goes higher and then But first point of expectations is that we always aim low We aim low then we and so we don't have any expectations.  Let's just say I mean the slow build so you can see that it's It's chugging. I mean We essentially we're looking for a bit further of a push and it was still within territories to claim claim Installation if we just looking for last week. I mean this only really moved in 500 Which is just on the upper limits of where we do that if we plus sort of spread and stuff like that We've considered this area here all within Within sort of tolerance of being a potential sort of stop on territory So nothing really too major of breaking this range out in its entire tree. So We can sort of look at that. Okay, cool. It's still within this Previous defined range that we had From last week. So nothing Nothing major there. I mean we do need to break a bit higher sort of show conviction that third push. So That was still up in the s But generally still so all the same things we know everything past this point Is short and everything here is a healthy mix, but most of it is still relative The heavy short and then above here. We have that small break where it's just Not really too much and this just being our area of new lungs that were just built in this current condition So again, that just says this area here would be our support If we're holding here what that means we still have more shorts That in the previous swing to be collected also We want to collect more shorts if we can get that if you can get them to bite at that level To maybe then hit for this higher territory here That's neither here or there Looking at ES again, we're looking for signs of potential reversals to try and drag Bitcoin back up as well So we can see that small little I mean, it's a nice little stretch up And we can easy sort of say maybe say similar in Sentiment if we are coming back into this area, it could potentially sort of Give us signs of if we get that short pulling up giving you a nice little W for the sake a nice little short for a double like this very extends higher and hits this higher wall here So, I mean there are still Some sort of there's still some headroom for the upside Sadly We'll look at gold just chugging along slowly mellowing out just grabbing up contracts at these tops Again long-term still looks the same We'll look at gold. I mean crude oil while we're here Yes Crude oil finally coming back down. We talked about it finally heading back into this level It is doing that which is what we wanted Hopefully now after the fact We can I mean, we'll see if it gets a bit more lower or if it just targets this stuff I might ideally kind of want to be perfect here. It's not completionary sake Nothing more than that. There is no real science behind wanting to get this level other than It would be nice because whether truly if you get the volume they could be just reversing at this point Or just like it but Jan So next candle or next four hours we're looking for it to surpass this If the next candles come and we still have a void from This point to this point if the next candle comes reaching to this level here We have to sort of show convictions go higher or this just becomes a just a downfall candle Where it's just cementing that I just went up to sort of grab some quick lungs complete this candle complete complete price delivery from from algorithm Point of view and then continue back down So, yeah keep it Keep it handy I will I mean any gold coins you want me to cover pretty sort of Yeah, I mean that There they exist All coins exists. No, that's all I can say. I mean Go a really long area of consolation for I am I mean Like I said it after this sort of major sort of push it just kind of dragged itself and just is holding itself On sort of pretty low fumes at this area here I mean you see that it did take a really long time But it did end up just basically going only up a small correction You go see that consolation here, but now we're sort of looking at this and just saying okay Where's our where our shorts are okay? They're shorting on this sort of bounce here It's they've they've essentially flipped this level in all essence Go and change that to sort of candle view. There you go. You can see that Where this sort of comes in here? They sort of flip it should one stab one final stab and finally just back to the same area where they're closing above here Closing higher, but generally even if they are wicking to these areas They're closing higher and they're showing that they want they want to ideally go higher from the locks of things at least short term Coming in here. I mean similar sort of story. You can see that nice little triple top That is a perversing itself back down But once it comes back down it just sort of develops into a wick and closes back in the same area So it just shows that there's volume Present to sort of absorb the selling at this area here and closing closing at this set price So someone is willing to sort of limit buy here So anything that was less got just a head just dragged up by the bootstraps Onto these higher points In terms of upper resistance don't really have too much. It's a lot of empty space So probably you will end up just developing its own price action On its way up here. You can see if we go back and Look at the range up view Yeah, nothing, but I mean you got 14.9 but 15 even if you want to call that as a point It's not really a definitive point But it is still a nice figure to pay attention to because that is Where the apex of this volume started you can see that I mean we formulated a bit higher but Majority of it did start here and the start is rather It's more important the side then so we can just treat this from 15 to sort of 15.2 5 with 15.5 even as an area where you just can come into and just create more volume traps And we'll end up just creating a nice little I think arch here where people can get trapped. I think Could be nice to spell Yeah, it could be nice Look at Solana again Slowly pinning itself also at this sort of weekly that we sort of not a while ago Just flipping on the underside. We'll see returning back where we had these higher volume nodes here and Sort of rejected. You can see that buys did come back at this area, but same sort of symptoms from As Bitcoin where you do have this area where volume does appear to sort of collect collect at just this point Here, it's very fast and it's very sort of short moving in terms of where it wants to reverse itself You can mark out some new ranges. You can see that here on the four hour We have that short stop that we can potentially stop at or if we want to take out these liquidity points We can do so at our leisure And I mean if we look at sort of where retail will look at things Oh, I did not There we go. We want more lines Yeah, and and retail again will probably short start starting me they shorted here on this break We already saw that volume show up on that for our Raindrop and the further breaks will sort of come here. I mean would be based off of Oh Interesting when they grabbed it from actually Yeah, I mean you can sort of say this area here. They'll start adding more short So it's probably saying if it doesn't find a footing here It will probably lose footing until sort of this area if it finds footing here. It's reversing pretty much Let's see. What else do you have? And Some I mean flip this perfectly you can see that broke out and the monthly level went back down Flip flip that you can see continued up higher just now Slowly dragging itself was you can see if you can find any more levels to potentially cause Just already we've got some new four hours zones here And that's our new range to play with in terms of looking for the short term See if we can get anything for the day No, we also have one nice one for the day Sort of flip to an hour Okay, you can see similar areas for the hour So he just shows that these levels for one day for our just coming in that same point shows this Strength within that area plus or minus. So you can see how that comes up just stops at that one hour candle, but we have that one day as well You can see that one day in four hour crisis area where we have We can basically Accommodate for margin of error essentially where we have that for our zone one hour zone then that one day So then that we could go up to here collect volume if we need be I'll go up slightly higher If we didn't see the volume we wanted but we saw it here. So there's no need we drag it back down And now it's sort of I mean creating its own sort of little volume shelf here But we see if Bitcoin drags it one more step down before pulling itself back up Or if it's just fully exhausted from all the recent news That it just can't help itself but go down. I mean looking at where it is I've got to mark these out. I mean mark these out now But looking out where it came from Wait flipped where it landed I mean, you've got to start thinking is this eventually gonna run out of steam It does look like again. That's your first set of area consolidation Depending on if you want to classify this as second. This would be a third or a second I'd out wager. This would probably be a third sort of point And maybe see it at least come back down to the monthly if you can hold the monthly maybe look stronger for another sort of Another wild ride But if it can't sort of hold that monthly and flip show that it wants to flip this area And be above four four two three and we're sort of just waging our bets that it will slowly want to descend And to sort of the next support it has before Actually renewing any sort of uptrend I will cut. Oh, no, Ethereum Again found the monthly head here. I just just been chilling man being chilling Nothing more to say just being chilling. I mean found it here. You can see where we're closing is just more consolidated with the moves You can see where the daily came in created the monthly was the daily sort of perfect resistance area here Even though for us, you see how many times it came into this area just rejected constantly I mean it rejects it because there's always volume that uh, and people willing to buy this number Don't know why it's just people want to buy it. Uh, don't argue just accept the fact I mean other than sort of holding this area out here. I probably again You have that one further drop that we do have with bitcoin as as a level as that opportunity to go a bit lower Uh Then we already have But just by only a little bit Only little bit Uh other than that Nothing sort of too much Oh, it's file exploring I mean if we end up do going down it was Why am I on utc man? If you end up going down you'll probably sort of be closer to 10 We sort of cement this sort of hold Stop hunt pull back and finally come back into sort of Out of territories that's if it sort of holds these Uh, sort of glass supports that we have here I mean if it doesn't we're sort of we're sort of looking for Down baby down And there's your sort of glass supports Man, I mean it is still short. So it is still within territories of being stronger Uh in terms of support because it is showing the right sort of characteristics of uh being on the wrong side of life So that's when we trust us is when we have majority of the traders being wrong. We know we're right When a lot of people buy at these highs buy a high sell low Sell low buy a high I mean, there's nothing really more to add some monday. It's the most boring Day of the week because it's the week that sets up everything. So most of it is just uh Reactionary trading uh until we get sort of uh, so we get more defined within the week Uh, that mean Tuesday then finally Wednesday I'm finding Wednesday Uh, we have again Wednesday's us is a lot more. Uh, I mean Tuesday is a lot more new news And other than that, it's going it's just friday. We've got the fed uh budget balance.  Yeah, uh, I mean Next week is I mean next Tuesday this your wednesday construction federal fund rates.  You got non-farm payroll unemployment Uh, and this is troublesome Thursday God damn Monday's nothing Yeah, so I don't expect anything out of our today. Uh, I mean yeah, I'm packed So today might even be a little breather who knows uh, but yeah next this week and next week you got a major sort of uh Got major sort of news coming in So we got a lot of pivot points that we can create uh out of these sort of news So just pay attention to those And if you want to you can probably end up uh skipping today up to you And I think I'll probably wrap things up there. I mean It's fun. Oh, yeah fun week Yeah, uh, I'm not stressed at all.  Don't worry Uh a key week for stock my oh even these guys are saying it if you're not nervous you should be ha ha uh, ha But you focus at 10. Yeah for today. It's just 10 o'clock.  Yeah Oh, no Uh, they'll say they're planning bearish news, which is great. Uh, I mean came great Soft landing. Oh god Awesome. Yes, man. You already got secured a term. Just tell us how it is tell us we're screwed Tell us you screwed us Doesn't doesn't sound Yeah Doesn't doesn't sound good man Hopefully this is not a major default collapse because again a lot of these uh A lot of these buy now pay later popped up.  It shouldn't be too hard to trade today. There's no real major Sort of point. It should all just be price action based and correcting books But other than that, uh trade safe. Yeah, I'll see you guys tomorrow And peace
