ZEUS: Ready for a Breakout? Hey there, let's review the KUCOIN:ZEUSUSDT chart on the 10-hour time frame. As you can see, the price is currently trading within a descending trend line. In the short term, if we witness a break above the descending trend line and the 0.20 cent price level, the scenario I have in mind is that the price may rise towards the liquidity zone at 0.22 cents. After a pullback, the price could potentially move towards the second target of 0.2455 and the supply zone at 0.27. However, please note that this potential trend depends on breaking through the specified levels. Important support zones to watch are 0.16 and 0.15.
Remember, this is just my personal analysis, not financial advice. Do your own research and make informed decisions.
Happy trading!✌😎

Descending Triangle Patter in SBILIFE For Target @1751+On the 1-hour timeframe, SBILIFE has broken out of the resistance level of a descending triangle pattern. This breakout is a significant technical event, suggesting a potential strong upside rally. Following this breakout, the price is expected to move towards the 1751+ level, indicating a bullish trend.
To capitalize on this movement, traders can consider entering a long position once the price sustain above the 1700 level. The targets for this position would be in the range of 1735 to 1751+, aligning with the anticipated upward momentum. It is crucial to manage risk by setting a stop loss just below the 1665 level, which will help protect against potential downside if the market reverses.
Gold Price Analysis August 19Fundamental Analysis
Gold prices remained on the defensive in early European trading on Monday, although they held above $2,500 and remained within striking distance of their record highs. Growing expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will begin lowering borrowing costs in September triggered a fresh decline in US Treasury yields. This, in turn, dragged the US Dollar (USD) to its lowest level since January and acted as a boost for the non-yielding yellow metal.
In addition, the risk of escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the protracted Russia-Ukraine war contributed to limiting the decline in the safe-haven commodity. However, traders appeared reluctant to place fresh bets on Gold prices, preferring to wait for further signals on the Fed’s rate cut path. Therefore, the focus remains on the release of the FOMC meeting minutes on Wednesday and Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium.
Technical Analysis
From a technical perspective, Friday’s breakout above the $2,470-2,472 horizontal barrier and subsequent strength above the previous all-time high is seen as a fresh impetus for bullish traders. Furthermore, the oscillators on the daily chart are holding in positive territory and are still far from overbought territory, suggesting that the path of least resistance for Gold prices is to the upside. That said, the failure to build momentum above the psychological $2,500 mark warrants some caution for the bulls. Therefore, it would be prudent to wait for some follow-through buying above Friday’s time-allowed top, around the $2,509-2,510 region, before positioning for any further gains.
On the other hand, the $2,472-2,470 resistance level currently seems to protect the immediate decline. Any further decline is likely to attract fresh buyers and remain limited in the $2,448-2,446 zone. The latter will act as a key pivot for short-term traders, a decisive break of which will open the way for deeper losses.

2024-08-19 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
Indexes - That reversal is something you will not witness often while you are alive. I don’t think there are many arguments beside’s “short squeeze” that could produce such a violent move but then again, who cares why. In my weekly outlook I wrote that I can only be neutral going into this week and all was looking decent until US opened and market almost went up again in a straight line. At this point I am fairly certain that in the next 2-6 weeks you will read about funds closing because they got caught so hard on this. Train is not stopping so look for decent entries when market refuses to go down again and ride the big wave up.
dax futures
comment: I wrote that best for bulls would be to stay above 18000 on a pullback and a measured move could bring us to 18800. Market can’t trade below the 1h 20ema and bulls are just unreal currently. Only look for longs until bears can do a 1h bar close below the 1h ema. Next targets above are 18800 and then 19000. Insane strength.
current market cycle: huge trading range
key levels: 17000 - 19000
bull case: Bulls are just in a big hurry without any bears around. Must pump the market as fast as high as it can get. Please don’t look for macro reasons here, you are out of your mind if you try to come up with rational arguments. Just find an ema that is holding and long it.
Invalidation is below 18400.
bear case: Nothing. When bears manage to print a bar close below the 1h 20ema, I will look for bearish targets. As of now it’s 18400 they have to conquer but who on earth would short this right now. Unless we get a huge event and scared traders, this won’t stop until new ath is reached. Small chance we see a bigger pullback on the big bear trend line around 18750.
Invalidation is above 19000.
short term: max bullish - only look for longs until bears print a bar close below the 1h 20ema
medium-long term: 17000/17100 was my target for at least 3 months now and bears got it. We are in a correction since we dropped more than 10% from the ath. Many long term trader buy a 5%, 10%, … dip and a bounce here was expected. I do think we are in a bear trend which will most likely lead down to 15600 or 15000 over the next months but we can only be more certain, once this pullback is done and we make new lows below 17000 and have a channel from which we can calculate new targets. I called the highs in early July and there is a decent chance we will not see them for a long time. —unchanged since early July
current swing trade: Nopety nope nope. Only long scalps currently.
trade of the day: Long EU open and never look at it until US close. Doji at the 1h 20ema, so go long above it. There were two decent targets above, gap close to Friday and last weeks high. Both are magnets, no reason to exit anywhere. When in doubt, zoom out.
2024-08-19 - priceactiontds - daily update - oilGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
Bear channel continued down and next target is probably 72 if 73.5 won’t hold. Pure weakness in this market.
quote from my weekly update:
bear case: Bears need a daily close below 74.5 to trade back down to 71/72.
comment: Look at that beauty of a channel. Holding like a true champ. Market is much weaker than expected and only going down. Bottom of the channel is where a pullback is expected and if bears are strong, they keep it below 74.5. Next targets for the bears are 73 and then 72. Anything above 75.5 would be a big surprise.
current market cycle: trading range (triangle)
key levels: 72 - 75.5
bull case: Bulls are so weak that they currently can only correct sideways. They need to create a pullback at 73.4 or risk a breakout below the bear channel, where the selling would accelerate. A reasonable target for a pullback would be the breakout retest of last weeks low 74.52.
Invalidation is below 73.1.
bear case: Bears had a strong bear day again and a measured move would bring us to 71.5. If they manage to create a breakout below the bear channel, we could get there much faster than most expect. My drawn big bullish trend line from the triangle runs through 71.7, so close enough. Bears need to keep any pullback below 75, better would be below 74.5.
Invalidation is above 75.5.
short term: Pullback to at least 74.5 is expected but below 73.1 we print 72 or even 71 pretty fast.
medium-long term: We are seeing the big triangle playing out between 72 and 82/84. The high of the triangle got tested until mid of April and we have now tested the lows around 72.5. We are at the bear trend line and odds favor the bears if they stay below 86.27 for trading back down below 76 again. Update: If we break below 70.67, the triangle is dead and we need to find new support. Will update this again when it happens.
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Mostly sideways during Globex and EU session. US session opened weak and when bulls could not get above 75.5 again, bears tried again and bulls just gave up. Had to be short since the bear bar breaking below 75 and the 1h 20ema.
EURCAD - Trading The Wedge...Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst.
📈 EURCAD has been overall bullish , trading inside the rising wedge pattern in orange.
At present, EURCAD is undergoing a correction phase and it is hovering around the lower bound of the wedge.
Moreover, it is retesting a massive demand zone marked in blue.
🏹 Thus, the highlighted blue circle is a strong area to look for buy setups as it is the intersection of the blue demand and lower orange trendline acting as a non-horizontal support.
📚 As per my trading style:
As #EURCAD is hovering around the blue circle zone, I will be looking for bullish reversal setups (like a double bottom pattern, trendline break , and so on...)
📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.
Good luck!
All Strategies Are Good; If Managed Properly!

EURGBP: Intraday Bearish SIgnal 🇪🇺🇬🇧
I see a strong trend-following pattern on EURGBP.
After a bearish wave, the price formed a symmetrical triangle formation.
A breakout of the support of a triangle is a strong bearish signal.
It signifies the strength of the sellers and a highly probable
bearish continuation.
Next support - 0.8502

Quote from last week:
comment: Bears were in a rush on Monday and printed a climactic bar down to 49111 but bulls bought the dip. As I am writing this, market is falling from 61000 to 58600 and going. Bears reversed it right at the daily 20ema and kept the bear gap to 64000 open, which is very strong by the bears. We are currently in a big bear wedge which could hold for a couple more weeks.
comment: I am not making stuff up here now. Market is also neutral as can be. Last week was 58700 and now we are at 59700. Tails above and below bars and bulls still could not close one day above the daily ema. Wait for a breakout.
current market cycle: Trading range and bear wedge.
key levels: 49000-64000
bull case: Lower lows and lower highs but barely. Market is mostly neutral and bulls need a daily close above 62000 for a breakout.
Invalidation is below 56000.
bear case: Bears making at least lower lows again but 2 consecutive bear bars and the latter had a big tail below. That is not strong selling. Bears need a good daily close below 56000 for lower prices.
Invalidation is above 56000.
outlook last week:
short term: Full bear mode again after the pullback. Want to see 50000 again and a daily close around it.
→ Last Sunday we traded around 58700 and now we are at 59700. Market went nowhere last week and my outlook was expecting a bigger break down that did not happen but also did not went against me. Outlook was wrong but no harm done.
short term: Neutral af.
medium-long term: I have been writing about getting down to 50000 for many many weeks now and since we are only 3500 points above it, it’s time to review my medium-long term take. I do think we are doing a very similar thing to 2021. Market will probably touch the monthly 20ema at 46000 soon and then go for a dead cat bounce. I do not think market can do a higher high again. For me it’s lower highs from here on and highest I think it can get again is 65000 but I do think there is a good chance, 63000 may be all bulls can get again. If it trades strongly below 46000, probably 30000 soon after but let’s make 46000 first and then I reevaluate my take.
Update: Above was written 2024-08-04. As good as it gets. Next target is 40000. —unchanged since July
current swing trade: Closed shorts from 59000 for small profit. No interest in this trading range for anything but scalps.
chart update: Nothing.
#202434 - priceactiontds - weekly update - goldGood Evening and I hope you are well.
Quote from last week:
comment: Easy analysis. We are 4 points above last weeks close. We are in a triangle and exactly at the midpoint, again. Market is as neutral as it gets. Don’t make this more complicated than it needs to be. Either buy low and sell high inside given range or wait for a breakout.
comment: Bulls got a new ath but the highest monthly close so far was 2473 and there is no reason to expect a huge breakout above 2550 with follow through. If it happens, hopp along but odds favor the bears for another reversal like so many times in the last 4 months. No matter how you interpret the patterns on the chart, all favor a reversal and betting on a breakout after 4 months of trading range price action is a losing strategy in the long run. I am neutral and wait for bears to show strength but will join the bulls on a strong breakout above 2550.
current market cycle: trading range for many months now and it’s probably coming to an end over the next weeks/months —unchanged
key levels: 2400 - 2550
bull case: Bulls printed a new ath. They finally want their breakout above and much higher prices. All patterns are against them and the odds obviously also. I would not look for longs above 2500. If they could break above 2550 and any pullback would stay above 2530, their chances of another leg up would be decent.
Invalidation is below 2550.
bear case: Bears see the trading range since April and the nested bull wedge on lower time frames and want a reversal down to at least 2430 again. They absolutely need to close this month below 2500 or the breakout above could actually happen and market would have to find new resistance, which could be much much higher than 2550. As of now market is almost making only perfect two legged moves inside the trading range and bulls just had their second. Market favors a reversal if bears come around on Monday.
Invalidation is above 2550.
outlook last week:
short term: Neutral around 2475. Will only scalp this on momentum inside the triangle but swing will have to wait for a bigger breakout above or below. Want to see 2500 to look for shorts again.
→ Last Sunday we traded 2473 and now we are at 2537. Neutral outlook.
short term: Neutral until bears come around or strong break above 2550. If bears build good selling pressure, I want a retest of 2500 first and lower i look for 2470.
medium-long term: For now I think the most reasonable outlook I could give is a trading range 2200-2500. This could hold for some time. Bear in my still thinks this rally is moronic and we will see 2000 again this year but that’s as unreasonable of an outlook one could hold so don’t. —unchanged since May
current swing trade: None.
chart update: Removed the bear trend line.
#202434 - priceactiontds - weekly update - sp500Good Evening and I hope you are well.
Quote from last week:
comment: Market got to 5100 way faster than I expected but it was climactic selling and a pullback was expected. Not much difference in reasoning compared to dax and the same would apply to the nasdaq. Market is trying to find the big sellers again and we are probing higher. We will most likely hit the daily 20ema soon, which is around 5440 and that is also around the July low and therefore a breakout retest. After the 2 bull bars from Thursday & Friday, I do think the odds of disappointment for the bulls is greater than another bull bar on Monday.
comment: Not much difference to dax, just that this market was a tat stronger even. Bulls almost reversed completely but 7 consecutive bull bars is as climactic as it gets. A pullback is due but that does not mean you can short it at 5578. Could go further since the obvious pain trade is up.
current market cycle: Trading range.
key levels: 5000-5700
bull case: From panic to euphoria. Good times. Bulls want a close of the bear gap to 5650 now and if they manage that, no reason we can’t print a new ath. More likely though is that we stay below 5600 and go much more sideways and wait for a new impulse.
Invalidation is below 5400.
bear case: Bears are gone it seems. Best they can hope for now is to stay below 5600 and make the market go sideways. If big sellers appear again, first target would be 5500 and then a close below daily ema but that is very low probability as of now. No bigger update this week since parallels to dax are big and I do think it’s best to be neutral here and wait for a pullback and see where that goes.
Invalidation is above 5650.
outlook last week:
short term: Full bear mode if we stay below the daily ema. Retest of the lows is higher probability than breaking above the daily ema. I gave clear key levels, mark them and watch what the market does when it gets there.
→ Last Sunday we traded 5370 and now we are at 5578. My upper targets were 5450 and bulls just melted it. Part of outlook was ok because you don’t get bearish at climactic selling lows but this reversal is not anything that is likely to happen after such selling.
short term: Neutral af. Want to see a pullback and also how market reacts to 5600.
medium-long term: Same as dax. I wait and let market give more info. Right now it’s max confusion.
current swing trade: None.
chart update: Removed all but the small bear gap.
#202434 - priceactiontds - weekly updateGood Evening and I hope you are well.
Quote from last week:
comment : Above pretty much described exactly what happened last week and for now all my bearish targets are met. I still expect another test of the lows. These tests can be higher,lower or pretty much the same. You never ever know in advance and you have to trade it as it comes. After that retest we will likely see another pullback to the 20ema or previous pullback highs (right now 17862) and more sideways movement inside the current range. It’s always an obvious pattern that we get another strong leg in the trend direction, when the daily 20ema is close enough or we hit it 1-3 times. Going into next week I am absolutely neutral and I think 17700-17900 is a dead zone for trading. Want to see strong momentum in either direction for me to scalp.
comment: Breaking above the wedge bear flag after a -8% move is a low probability event but that’s what happened. Bulls are under the most recent bear trend line starting mid July and there is no reason why this should hold when all other technical resistance prices did not hold in the last 2 weeks. It sure looks like a cup where the handle is missing but after such wild moves, I will only ever be neutral and take the market hour by hour.
current market cycle: Big nope of that bear trend take last week. Trading range price action with a big range.
key levels: 17000 - 19000
bull case: Last Sunday I wrote about mostly overlapping bars for the bulls and since Thursday they left no doubt that this was not the start of the bear trend. Huge bull breakout above the previous bear gap to 18200 and they are not right at the minor bear trend line from mid July. If bulls are really strong, they can get a third push up and maybe a measured move from Thu/Fri which would bring us to 18800ish. The buying is climactic though and a pullback is expected over the next 1-2 days. Best for bulls would be if they would stay above 18000 and the daily ema/bull trend line.
Invalidation is below 17900.
bear case: 18000 was my target last week where we should reverse at latest and bulls just melted through it to 18400. Most traders knew the selling down to 17100 was climactic and a pullback was expected but most markets almost reversed all of it and dax is also on it’s way. Where does this leave the bears? Humbled to say the least. They are focussing on the two bear trend lines above us at 18430 and the big one from the ath at 18650. So my preferred path forward would look like the drawn bullish 5 wave series where we can expect some pullback over the next 1-2 days and a potential W5 to 18650 or higher but it is very possible that we stay below 18500 and trade back down.
Invalidation is above 18450.
outlook last week:
short term: Full bear mode. Pullback has two sided trading and I think a test below 17500 comes before 18000 but after a low, we should see another try from the bulls to print 18000 again or touch the daily 20ema. At which I will load up on shorts again, if we see bear strength.
→ Well, at least I wrote multiple times that a pullback could get to 18000 but since the bulls were just too strong on Thursday, I did not look for shorts as written last Sunday. Part of my outlook was ok but overall bearish reading was obviously as wrong as can be.
short term: Absolutely neutral. Big up, big down, big confusion.
medium-long term: Bearishness from the last weeks was wrong. Need to see price action this and maybe the week after to take another shot of an medium term outlook. Long term is still maximum bearishness but that does not help with trading because an early trade is a wrong trade.
current swing trade: Nope.
chart update: Removed the bear gap, wedge bear flag and added a potential 5 wave series and an alternative two legged correction.
GBPUSD analysis week 34Fundamental Analysis
The British pound (GBP) outperformed its major peers in New York trading on Friday. The British currency gained significantly as the UK Office for National Statistics (ONS) reported that retail sales rebounded in July, as expected, after a sharp decline in June.
Retail sales are a key gauge of consumer spending. Strong consumer demand tends to drive inflationary pressures in the economy, so the data could dampen expectations that the Bank of England (BoE) will opt to cut interest rates again in September.
The BoE's next monetary policy meeting in September could also be a tough call. UK service sector inflation fell sharply in July as wage growth slowed. However, the latest labor market data also showed a surprising drop in the Unemployment Rate and the economy is clearly on the path of expansion.
Technical Analysis
GBPUSD continues to trade in an ascending channel with the nearest support and resistance in the price range at 1.286 and 1.300 after posting a strong gain on Friday. On the H4 timeframe, the EMA 34 has crossed well above the EMA 89, indicating a strong bullish market structure, with the upside momentum heading towards last month’s high resistance around 1.304. On the other hand, any daily close below the 1.286 support would not confirm a bearish reversal. The pair needs to break the support level of 1.280 to really break the bullish structure on the current chart. RSI reaches the overbought level, indicating that the bullish momentum will continue in the early days of next week
Resistance: 1.300-1.304
Support: 1.286-1.280

Bitcoin must make these 2 key moves !As we can see on the chart, the price remains stuck in the inefficiency zone, showing a lot of liquidity since last week. Over the past two days, the price has resumed an upward trend, but it is still moving a bit slowly in the inefficiency zone.
#1 In this analysis, I want you to see that liquidity has decreased daily since last week, leading me to believe that Bitcoin could gain strength at any moment and break through my white trendline. This would be the first move I’m looking for to confirm that Bitcoin is ready for an uptrend. (Buying pressure)
#2 Once the price breaks through my white trendline, I expect the price to reach this green order block and reject at the confirmation zone. this rejection is a key point, However, it is precisely at this point that after the rejection, Bitcoin could gain momentum to break through the green order block and thus confirm its bullish trend.
Let's see what happens this week. In the meantime, buckle up because it’s going to be a very volatile week due to the scheduled economic news.
Best regards, and thank you for supporting my analysis.

AUDCHF: Bullish Trend Continues 🇦🇺🇨🇭
AUDCHF is trading in a bullish trend on a 4H time frame.
After quite an extended bullish wave, the pair was consolidating within
a horizontal range for some time.
The resistance of the range was broken yesterday.
It is a very important sign of strength of the buyers for us.
I think that growth may continue, and the market will reach 0.58 level soon.
❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️
2024-08-14 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well.

What a time to be alive. Panic selling and now panic buying. Many markets are close to completely reversing the move from last week and Monday. For bulls to just slice through the bear trend line and every technical resistance there was, is something you will not see often on a daily chart. You can’t be anything but max bullish, since every small dip is bought. Until that stops and no one knows when, you have to look for longs.
tl;dr
Indexes - As mentioned above. Look for longs until we start making lower lows again and breaking 1h 20ema. SP500 made almost 9% in 8 days. If you are nerdy, go find other examples of something like that happening, after a equal move down before. Truly astonishing.
dax futures
comment: Bears lost and bulls got a give up bar today. Complete meltup and can’t be anything but max bullish going into tomorrow. So far dax respect no resistance and you can’t expect it to start tomorrow. Everything can happen, so a reversal is never out of the question but it’s not the probable thing for tomorrow. Obvious target above is now the August high at 18633.
current market cycle: bear flag inside the bear trend (very very low chance this is still that) - more likely we are in a giant trading range 17000 - 19000. We know once we break above 18400
key levels: 17000 - 19000
bull case: Market was going nowhere but the data release at 2:30 pm CET did the trick and we just melted higher until market transitioned into a trading range. No selling pressure anywhere. Bulls want a measured move up to 18500 or higher. 1h 20ema should not be hit or market should not have any close below it.
Invalidation is below 18200.
bear case: Bears gave up today, which most likely means that we get follow through tomorrow and go big green into the weekend. I can’t see bears coming around at 18300. More likely they try 18500 or 18600 but it’s a rough guess. Just do not look for shorts.
Invalidation is above 18700.
short term: max bullish for 18500 or higher.
medium-long term: 17000/17100 was my target for at least 3 months now and bears got it. We are in a correction since we dropped more than 10% from the ath. Many long term trader buy a 5%, 10%, … dip and a bounce here was expected. I do think we are in a bear trend which will most likely lead down to 15600 or 15000 over the next months but we can only be more certain, once this pullback is done and we make new lows below 17000 and have a channel from which we can calculate new targets. I called the highs in early July and there is a decent chance we will not see them for a long time.
Update: Will update this on the weekend. If we stay below 18700, small chance it could still be valid but if we go above, it’s just one giant trading range for longer.
current swing trade: None.
trade of the day: Buying 18000 was good.

Gold - Insane price action tbh. Technically lower lows and lower highs but 40 points down and then 30 points up is also something special. I do think the 2519 highs can hold but it’s only reasonable to be neutral while the market oscillates that hard around 2500.
comment: Neutral after today but market is still contracting. Lower highs and higher lows means market is undecided and the triangle is big enough for another 5-10 days inside it. Bears have a reasonable argument that the 2519 high can hold and we are in the upper third of the triangle, shorts are favored.
current market cycle: trading range (triangle on the daily chart)
key levels: 2400 - 2536
bull case: Bulls prevented the climactic sell off for 40 points and retraced most of it. They need a higher high above 2510 to retest 2520. 1h 20ema is completely flat. Not more magic to it right now.
Invalidation is below 2490.
bear case: Bears are statistically favored for shorts in the upper third of the trading range. That’s about it for now. They need a 1h close below 2490 to test 2480 again and then hope for follow through down.
Invalidation is above 2522.
short term: Neutral. Bullish above 2510 and bearish below 2480 but just for scalps.
medium-long term: For now I think the most reasonable outlook I could give is a trading range 2200-2500. This could hold for some time. Bear in my still thinks this rally is dumb and we will see 2000 again this year but that’s as unreasonable of an outlook one could hold so DON’T. —adjusted 2450 to 2500
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Selling 2510 was good for many days now and continues to be so.

tl;dr
Bitcoin - Bears did it today and bulls will probably wait for 54000/55000 to start buying again. Should not go above 59000 before 54000/55000.
From yesterday:
One side will give up tomorrow. Promise.
comment: Promise kept. I also wrote that 62000 is my line in the sand for the bears. We are now in a decent bear channel with two pushes down. I do think that we grind this down much lower but there is also the potential of a break below that channel. In any case, market should not go above 59000 again, or the bear case would probably be over and we are back to neutral.
current market cycle: bear trend until bulls can break above 59000 again.
key levels: 55000 - 59000
bull case: Bulls gave up after not being able to go above 60000 today and I think it was the last of anything above 60000 we have see for some time. I don’t have anything for the bulls here. We will likely see more stepping aside by them until we hit 55000 again. If they somehow print above 59000 and break above the bear channel, I am obviously wrong.
Invalidation is below 59000.
bear case: Level was given, level was broken, hope you took the trade. Bears are in full control. They were probably in control since a week ago at 61500 because market could not close above the daily 20ema once since. But you never know the exact moment. Most likely we will see a stronger move down to 54000/55000 where I expect bulls to try bottom it. Bitcoin could not close a daily bar below 54000 since 2024-02-25. And that is the only target for the bears over the next days. They need to close the bull gap to 53000 with a daily bar. Measured move from today’s selling would give us a bit below 54000 and that is my plan for the next days. Will add to shorts on pullbacks.
Invalidation is above 59000.
short term: full bear mode until we reach 40000 or break above 59000
medium-long term: down to 40000 (could take 1-3 months). Could also drop to 20000 again but let’s make 40000 first and see how many want to buy there. —unchanged since March, obviously updated the time range which was 6-9 months before. —
current swing trade: Short since 59450.
trade of the day: The complete move up from bar 50 to 67 was weak. Every big bull bar was followed by a decent bear bar and bears finally gave up right under 60000. The 3 consecutive bear bars 67, 68 and 69 where the first 3 consecutive bear bars for around 60 bars. You could have shorted below bar 68 or latest below bar 70.
A valid setup CPI confirmed yesterdayHello everyone, hope we're all doing very well !.
CPI pushed price down to tap the H4 order block which price actually did reject with an H4 hammer candle that adds even more confirmation for the buy.
The SL which is just below the order block is 0.5980 (26 pips)
Entry is just around this place price is but since price has moved already you can enter at the current price (0.6007).
Use proper risk and money management and try not to over-leverage your account.
Gold recovers from the decline of the news☘️Fundamental Analysis
Gold prices regained momentum in Asian trading on Thursday, reversing some of the previous day's sharp decline from a record high. The risk of a wider conflict in the Middle East, along with growing acceptance that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will begin its rate-cutting cycle in September, became key factors providing some support to the precious metal.
Meanwhile, expectations of a July rise in US consumer prices have forced investors to scale back their expectations for more aggressive policy easing. This has led to a further recovery in US Treasury yields, supporting the US dollar (USD) on an overnight rebound from a monthly low and could act as a drag on gold prices amid a generally positive risk-on sentiment.
☘️Technical Analysis
From a technical perspective, the overnight low, around the 2,438-2,436 region, now looks to protect the downside ahead of the $2,424 region or the weekly low hit on Monday. Some follow-through selling could leave Gold vulnerable to further weakness below the $2,400 level.
Meanwhile, the oscillators on the daily chart are holding in positive territory and supporting the bullish outlook. That said, any further upside move is likely to face some resistance near the $2,471-2,472 region ahead of the $2,483-2,484 region or the all-time high hit in July. A further rally above the psychological $2,500 mark would confirm a breakout through the wide trading range.
You should pay attention to the EMA critical zone around 2420, and pay attention to the zones for long-term gold BUY signals in the context of many economic and political fluctuations. Although gold has decreased, the RSI index is still in the positive zone and shows that the buyers are ready to return at any time.
