Candlestick Analysis

XauUsd- New leg down towards 2610 support?In my Friday analysis, I highlighted that while the 2660-2665 zone is a technical support, it is too obvious and very likely to fall. This prediction came true as the week closed with Gold trading below this level, forming a strongly bearish daily candle. Additionally, a Pin Bar from the 2700+ resistance zone appeared on the weekly chart, reinforcing the bearish outlook. During the Asian session last night, the price tested the ascending trendline, and as of now, Gold is trading at 2656, hinting at a potential rebound following the 800-pip drop from its recent peak. Looking ahead, if a deeper rebound occurs, the 2680 zone will be a key level for bears to monitor. This area presents an ideal shorting opportunity given its favorable risk-to-reward setup. At the moment, I’m out of the market, waiting to sell into signs of weakness, with 2610 support as my target.

As Expected Mother Line resistance has come into playAs we had expected in Yesterday's message the closing below Mother line yesterday meant that Mother line resistance was supposed to come into play today and it did. Nifty made a high of 24394 and ominous mother line resistance was near by as can be seen in the chart and Nifty got rejected from there. Now Nifty is tossed into bottom searching mode. Today's low that is 24149.85 was a support zone and we saw a closing above it at 24198 which is the silver lining in the cloud. If 24150 is respected tomorrow we can start seeing some range bound upside. If the support of 24150 is not respected and we get a closing below this level the further supports for Nifty will be at 23904, 23803 or Strong Father line support at 23689. If 23689 is broken we can see a low of 23291 or so as of now. On the positive side if the support of 24150 is respected by Nifty the resistances on the upside will be near 24311, 24435 (Strong Mother line resistance), 24627, 24793 or even 24960. 24960 is a strong resistance to cross but if and when it is crossed we can see more upside as Bulls will start calling shots above this level. Thus the most critical supports are 24150 and 23689. Most critical resistances will be 24435 as of now.

Tia’s Next Move: Opportunity Below $6?Tia/USDT has been lagging recently, and while other altcoins surged strongly after Trump’s election, Tia only recently managed to break above a key resistance level at $6. After reaching the recent high, the price corrected and is now back at the previous resistance level, which has turned into support. I expect this support to hold, and if it does, we could see a new upward leg for Tia. The immediate resistance is in the $7.3–$7.5 zone, and a breakout above this level could pave the way for further gains, potentially reaching the next key resistance levels at $9 or even $12. Buying below $6 could offer a solid entry point with a favorable risk-to-reward ratio.

EURUSD: Sell ​​stop trade on confirmationGood morning to all traders and investors, after several weeks spent reviewing and updating my LuBot indicator for intuitive graphic analysis, here I am reporting a new analysis on a possible short trade on EurUsd. As you can see from the graph above I have highlighted some main parts of this trade idea, starting however from a broader vision i.e. that of the Weekly graph that I share below From the weekly chart we see that after the last short signal, a first bearish swing is created, thus causing the negative structure to return. After a slight retracement in recent weeks, a doji bar is created which acts as a swing maximum and the following week the second bearish swing is created in which we still find ourselves today. All LuBot indications are negative so we are eligible to look for a short. At this point I go down to the lower timeframes (Daily,12H,6H or 4H) which are the operational timeframes I use as I never go below 4H. Generally speaking, all timeframes lead to the same reasoning, but the one where the vision is clearest in this case is the 6H which I bring you as the main image. Intuitively LuBot already gives me a clear vision of the trend and what to do as we clearly see that the price has remained below the trendCloud which acted as dynamic resistance, we have a Short signal which has not made a big movement and we could expect a subsequent extension, the candles are still bearish but are currently in a retracement phase. Confirmation of an effective return to the negative short structure would come from the break of the 1.0479 level that LuBot shows with the red dots, in which I insert a sell stop order on strength. 👍 Did you like this post?

Gold Market Update: Indecision Dominates Ahead of FEDYesterday, OANDA:XAUUSD broke below the key confluence support at 2645. However, the drop lacked meaningful follow-through. After reaching a local low at 2633, the price reversed and closed right at the confluence level. As of now, gold remains virtually unchanged from Friday's close. Monday saw a spike up to 2665, while yesterday marked a dip to 2633, reflecting market indecision. Technical Perspective: At the time of writing, gold is trading below this critical level, currently at 2643. If the break below support proves genuine, bears will likely target the 2610-2615 zone, as highlighted in my previous analyses. Conversely, if the price climbs back above 2655, the recent dip would be considered a false breakout, shifting the focus to the upside, with the 2680 zone as the next target. FED's Influence: The market awaits clarity from the Federal Reserve’s announcement and press conference today, which could provide direction for gold in the coming days.

Profitable SMC Smart MoneyConcept Strategy Explained I will teach you how to trade liquidity grab, a trap, inducement, order block and imbalance. I will share with you my Smart Money Concept strategy for trading forex & gold. We will study a real SMC trading setup that I took on a live stream with my students. Trend Analysis With Structure Mapping The first step in our trading strategy will be the analysis of a market trend on a daily time frame with structure mapping. Analyzing GBPNZD on a daily time frame, we can see that the conditions for a bullish trend are met. Liquidity Zones Analysis The second step will be to find liquidity - supply and demand zones on a daily time frame. According to our rules, here are 3 liquidity zones that I spotted on GBPNZD. We see 2 demand zones and 1 supply zone. Test of Liquidity Zone The third step will be to wait for a test of a liquidity zone. And on that step, we should remember an important rule: We will wait only for a test of a liquidity zone that ALIGN with the market trend. It means that we will wait for a test of a demand zone in a bullish trend. We will wait for a test of a supply zone in a bearish trend. The only demand zones that meets these criteria on GBPNZD is Demand Zone 1. It aligns with a bullish trend. We don't consider Demand Zone 2, because a bearish violation of a Demand Zone 1 will be a Change of Character and a violation of a bearish trend. And here is how a test of a liquidity zone should look like. The price should simply reach that. Liquidity Grab & Imbalance After we identified a test of a significant liquidity zone that aligns with a market trend, we will start analyzing lower time frames. We will look for a liquidity grab, order block and imbalance on 4H and 1H time frames. Here is a liquidity grab that is confirmed by a bullish imbalance. We see a false violation of a liquidity zone, followed by a high momentum bullish candle. It will be our strong bullish signal. Order Block Zone In order to identify the entry point, the next step will be to identify the order block zone. According to our rules, here is the order block zone on a 4H time frame. Entry Level Our entry level will be the level of the upper boundary of the order block zone. Here is such a level on GBPNZD. A buy limit order should be set on that level. Please, note that in that particular case we don't need a 1H time frame analysis, because we have a confirmation signal on a 4H time frame. We will analyse an hourly time frame only when THERE IS NO SIGNAL on a 4H time frame. Stop Loss & Take Profit Safe stop loss should be below the lowest low of a bearish movement. To safely calculate a stop loss in pips for the trade, simply take 0.5 ATR - Average True Range. For Average True Range indicator , take the default settings - 14 length. Here is a safe stop loss level on GBPNZD. ATR is 55 pips. Our stop loss for the trade is 28 pips. Take profit for the trade will be based on the closest 4H liquidity - supply zone. That is the closest supply zone that I spotted on GBPNZD on a 4H time frame. Your target level should be a couple of pips below a supply zone. Look how perfectly the market reached the target! As you can see, that trading strategy is quite complex and combines different important elements. But what I like about this SMC trading strategy is that it truly makes sense. The intentions of Smart Money are crystal clear here and the trade execution rules are straight forward. ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️

EurAud could accelerate to the upside (1.7 target)After dipping below the key 1.6 level—both a technical and psychological threshold—at the end of November, EUR/AUD quickly rebounded and began climbing in a constructive manner. Recently, it established solid support at the 1.6350-1.6360 zone, with two notable reversals from this area observed last week. As of now, EUR/AUD is trading at 1.6507, just below a technical resistance level, with the price action showing signs of a buildup. The odds favor an upward breakout, and if this materializes, it could lead to a sharp acceleration higher. In this scenario, my swing trade target is the 1.7 mark. For now, my strategy is to buy on dips, anticipating the breakout and preparing for the upside momentum.

EURJPY: Capturing BOJ decisionsFrom technical perspective, the price moved to significant orders in the past. And once reach there, there's bearish engulfing candle formed. To see inclination of price movements coherently: 1. GDP of Euro Zone in stagnant level without significant increase or decrease (demand in EURO is stagnant) 2. Japan CPI keeps growing (demand in YEN) Therefore, there's possibility liquidity created first there with bearish engulfing, signifies bearish movement ahead.

Energy Sell Off - Low RSI Not Seen Since CovidWatch energy to see if it bounces off these levels as the selling pressure over the last two weeks has been relentless with no bounces. Possible Bullish abandoned baby candle if tomorrow is a large up candle. Understanding the Bullish Abandoned Baby Traders watch for bullish abandoned baby patterns to signal the potential end of a downtrend. The pattern is fairly rare as the price movements need to meet specific criteria in order to create the pattern: 1. The first bar is a large down candlestick located within a defined downtrend. 2. The second bar is a doji candle (open is approximately equal to the close) that gaps below the close of the first bar. 3. The third bar is a large white candle that opens above the second bar.

Tesla (TSLA): Long-Term Breakout Backed by Strong MomentumChart Analysis: Tesla shares have surged past key resistance at $415, marking a significant breakout with strong bullish momentum. 1️⃣ Key Breakout: The price broke above the horizontal resistance level at $415, which previously capped gains in 2021. This breakout signals renewed strength and opens the door for potential continuation. 2️⃣ Moving Averages: 50-week SMA (blue): The price is well above the 50-week SMA at $227, highlighting robust upward momentum and a bullish long-term structure. 3️⃣ Momentum Indicators: RSI: Currently at 80.96, signaling overbought conditions. While this reflects strong buying interest, traders may watch for signs of exhaustion or a pullback. MACD: Bullish momentum is accelerating, with the MACD line rising sharply and far above the signal line. What to Watch: A potential retest of the $415 breakout level as support would be a key technical development to confirm the breakout's strength. Traders should monitor RSI for signs of divergence or overbought reversals while keeping an eye on continuation patterns. Tesla has broken free from a multi-year range, driven by strong bullish momentum. The price action and breakout above $415 suggest bulls are firmly in control. -MW

Go long gold near 2633 as scheduledBros, I have been suggesting that gold is likely to continue to fall to the 2635-2630 area in the past two days. At present, gold has fallen back to this area as expected. We have made a lot of money in gold short trading in the past two days! Congratulations to those friends who followed my trading strategy! At present, the lowest price of gold has reached around 2633, so the support of the 2635-2630 area is effective in the short term, and gold has failed to fall below this area several times during the decline, so this area has become an important defensive position for bulls in the short term, so there should be some buying funds here, whether it is to seize control or to play between the long and short sides, the bulls should perform well in this range. So in terms of short-term trading, I prefer to start long gold near 2633, and I have already done so. Moreover, there is still strong support in the 2625-2620 area below. If gold continues to fall, I will consider adding positions to long gold in the 2625-2620 area again. Bros, I have already started to go long on gold. Are you optimistic about the rebound of gold?
