Multiple Time Frame Analysis
Palantir to plunge 40% ??In seven days from now Palantir will publish their not so hot earnings report.
How can I know this?
The chart.
On the above 6 day chart price action has rallied a massive 600% in 24 months. A number of reasons now exist to be short. They include:
1) Support and resistance. Both price action and RSI are at resistance.
2) Price action support has failed. See daily chart below.
3) The Bollinger Band (red arrows). Explosive moves in price action eventually reach exhaustion. This is first indicated by the Bollinger band as the mouth curls inwards. This is a strong indication of a trend reversal.
4) The 40% correction is derived from past resistance, which has never confirmed as support. It is also a significant Fibonacci level.
Is it possible price action breaks resistance and continues to climb? Sure.
Is it probable? No

Trend breakout on daily
XAUUSD to 2455 before December Likely to see 2455 hit in the next two weeks, with potential resistance levels of 2580 & 2600 should it test these before dropping. Neither of which may get tested. The old stall and fall is more likely to play out.
From 2455, we should see Gold come back up towards 2600, maybe even 2670 before continuing its descent. But first things first, short now and a buy at 2455/65
USDMXN POSSIBLE SHORT TRADE IDEAOn the monthly charts, we have a bullish trend that has been flipped. A change of character on the monthly chart indicates bearish orderflow setting. Currently, the dollar is gaining strength against major pairs, the Peso is no exception. The bullish resurgence of the dollar against the Peso seems to target price imbalance ranging between 21 to 24. Once these price imbalance has been removed, we are likely to see bearish sentiment setting in, possibly early 2025, targeting new lows.
POPCATUSDT.P / M15 / SHORTPOPCATUSDT may fall from the bearish order Blocl
Bearish order Block :- 1.7253 and 1.6940
POPCATUSDT is approaching a bearish order block between 1.7253 and 1.6940, where we may see a potential reversal and downward momentum. Using Smart Money Concepts (SMC), a valid bearish order block has been identified, indicating that this zone could act as strong resistance.
Additional Analysis: If price touches the order block, we can expect a likely decline, as institutional supply tends to push price lower. Based on the analysis, there is a high probability this trade could end in profit, but we'll have to watch for confirmation once the price reaches the key levels.

AUDUSD "LONG" IDEA (SMC - ICT)On the following chart we have a possible movement of the price upwards.
- We swept internal liquidity (IRL) on HTF
- We made a Market Structure Shift (MSS) on 1H
- However we left some Imbalanced (IMB) area below which can possible mean we made an Inducement (IDM).
I might get into buy's right on Fibonacci Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) level with 1% of my balance.
If we go lower. Will wait for another Confirmation Entry (CE)
XAUUSD - Gold waiting for the Hawkish Federal Reserve!Gold is below the EMA200 and EMA50 in the 30-minute timeframe.

• Core inflation remains far from the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, holding steady at 0.3%, similar to August and September.
• This suggests that inflation is likely to stay above the central bank’s target in the long term.
• Trump’s Policies and Inflation:
Economists predict that emerging economic policies under Trump, including higher tariffs and reduced immigration, may further strain the labor market and contribute to higher inflation in the long run.
Jerome Powell’s Remarks and Market Reactions
• No Need for Financial Policy Easing:
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell stated that given strong economic growth, a robust labor market, and inflation still above the 2% target, there is no immediate need for monetary policy easing.
• Market Reaction:
These comments raised concerns among investors, signaling a potential slowdown in the pace of interest rate cuts.
US Dollar Outlook
• Stability and Growth of the Dollar:
According to Barclays Investment Bank, the US dollar will maintain its upward trajectory due to economic resilience and shifting market expectations regarding Federal Reserve interest rate policies.

• Barclays projects the dollar will remain strong and continue its upward trend through 2025.

XAGUSD - Silver will continue to rise?!Silver is below the EMA200 and EMA50 in the 4H timeframe and is moving in its medium-term bullish channel. If the decline continues due to the current economic data, we can see demand zone and buy within that zone with a suitable risk reward. If the upward trend line is broken and the $30 range is maintained, we can see the continuation of the rise up to the level of $32.
Over the past year, silver struggled to keep pace with gold, as gold reached multiple record highs while silver remained below $30 an ounce for a prolonged period. However, according to one analyst, this trend may shift in 2025, with the gold-to-silver ratio expected to moderate from its recent highs.
Julian Wee, a market strategist at UBS, commented, “Gold remains a favored asset for portfolio risk hedging against various risks, but the shift from a ‘soft landing’ to ‘no landing’ argues for a balance between a defensive stance and exposure to economic growth. Silver, which has historically shown a high correlation with gold, may benefit more from increased industrial demand.”
Wee highlighted that amid rising geopolitical tensions, gold has emerged as a preferred hedge. He noted that gold “has risen 35% this year alone, and demand has remained strong amid numerous risk events and declining global interest rates. At least for this month, gold has asserted itself as a hedge against slower economic growth and rising inflation.”
He further remarked that silver, like gold, also exhibits an inverse relationship to risk aversion, thus serving a similar defensive role. “Amid resilient U.S. GDP growth, investors may find it beneficial to add to portfolios that maintain a strong defensive stance while gradually enhancing exposure to stronger economic growth,” he suggested.
According to Wee, silver is expected to see increased demand due to its widespread use in sectors like technology and electric vehicles, as well as in LED production, solar panels, and medical applications owing to its antibacterial properties. Industrial demand will likely lead to higher demand for physically-backed ETFs. On the supply side, mine production is anticipated to remain limited in 2025.
Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve Chairman, discussed various factors affecting productivity growth, including the rise of new businesses and workforce mobility. He also noted that automation has contributed to productivity improvements.
Powell emphasized that the current monetary policy is restrictive, though the exact degree remains uncertain. He stated that the Federal Reserve has begun the process of rate reductions and is moving towards a neutral rate, underscoring the need for a gradual and careful approach.
Powell suggested that slowing the pace of rate cuts could be appropriate if data permits. He mentioned that the current monetary policy is well-positioned, providing space for rate reductions if needed, though a careful approach remains necessary. Powell also referred to the recent Producer Price Index (PPI) reading, which showed a slight increase, but he believes the inflation trajectory remains on the right path. He stressed that monetary policy should neither be overly restrictive nor overly lenient.
