Beyond Technical Analysis
EURUSD 4H Time-frame analysis Let's dive into my EURUSD analysis on the 4-hour timeframe. From what I can see on your chart, here's a more detailed breakdown of potential interpretations:
It looks like I've identified some key horizontal levels. These are often significant areas of interest for traders because they can act as:
Support: Price might find it difficult to fall below these levels, and buying pressure could emerge. The lower horizontal line you've drawn around 1.12059 appears to be a potential support level. Notice how price bounced off this area previously in late March.
Resistance: Conversely, price might struggle to rise above these levels, and selling pressure could take over. The upper yellow highlighted area, with the recent high reaching just above 1.13345, looks like a significant resistance zone. The price has recently tested this level and is currently pulling back.
Recent Price Action:
The sharp upward move in April, culminating at that high, suggests strong buying pressure. However, the immediate pullback indicates that the resistance zone is holding, at least for now.
Potential Scenarios:
Based on what I'm seeing, here are a couple of potential scenarios to consider:
Rejection at Resistance: The current pullback could signify a rejection of the resistance zone. If selling pressure continues, we might see the price move back down towards your identified support level around 1.12059. A break below this support could then open the door for further downside.
Consolidation and Breakout: Alternatively, the price might consolidate within the range defined by your resistance and support levels for a while. A subsequent break above the resistance (the yellow zone) would suggest renewed buying momentum and could lead to further upside. Conversely, a break below the support would reinforce the bearish scenario.
Things to Consider for Further Analysis:
To get a more complete picture, you might want to consider:
Candlestick Patterns: Are there any specific candlestick patterns forming at the resistance level (like a bearish engulfing or a shooting star) that could confirm rejection? Similarly, look for bullish patterns near the support if price revisits that area.
Volume: Analyzing the volume during the recent push to the high and the subsequent pullback could provide clues about the strength of the moves. High volume on the push-up might suggest strong buying interest, while high volume on the pullback could indicate strong selling pressure.
Technical Indicators: Incorporating indicators like Moving Averages, RSI, or MACD could offer additional context and potential confirmation signals. For instance, is the RSI in overbought territory near the resistance? Is the MACD showing signs of bearish divergence?
Fundamental Analysis: Keep an eye on any upcoming economic news or events related to the Euro or the US Dollar that could influence the price action.
Remember, this is just an interpretation based on the snapshot you've provided. Trading involves probabilities, and no analysis is foolproof. It's crucial to manage your risk appropriately.
What are your thoughts on these observations? What was your initial reasoning behind marking these specific levels? I'd be interested to hear more about your perspective!
Gold Is Setting Up for a Second Leg HigherOn the chart, we can see that price is holding above the recent lows at 3,291 and 3,314. At this stage, a purple consolidation zone has formed, with higher lows compared to the previous structure. All factors currently point toward a move up into the 3,386–3,367 range.
This outlook would be invalidated if price drops to the lower boundary of the purple consolidation.
Long at 131.61 for a quick flipNothing special about this trade except that it was one of only 6 large cap stocks that registered as a buy for me today and was the best of the bunch, technically, imo.
Historically, the returns here are only about 20% better than an average market return per day, but using this trading technique, it has never lost money - 1027 wins, 0 losses (real and backtested) going all the way back to January of 1968. Having been through everything that 50+ year trading history threw at it and coming out perfect, I'm comfortable making this trade now.
Per my usual strategy, I'll add to my position periodically at the close on and I will likely use FPC (first profitable close) to exit any lot on the day it closes at any profit, though I have been playing around with a new exit strategy, so FPC may or may not be used - I'll have to see how things play out.
As always - this is intended as "edutainment" and my perspective on what I am or would be doing, not a recommendation for you to buy or sell. Act accordingly and invest at your own risk. DYOR and only make investments that make good financial sense for you in your current situation.
$ENA | #4h SetupProfit secured on the recent impulse. Price is now testing a key resistance zone (marked in blue), previously strong support.
🔁 Plan:
— Waiting for a clean reclaim + hold above the blue zone
— On confirmation → looking to re-enter longs
🎯 Target: ~$0.45
⚠️ No breakout? Then no trade — waiting for a new structure to form.
TSLA LONG ~ All the technicals are there!TSLA will still hit $2600 ~ Says Cathie Wood
Will it? Let's take a look ~
ELON is pissing people off and investors are worried, Tarrif FUD, brand deterioration.
All of this doesn't matter
Why?
Pull up TSLA YoY earnings since 2013 and you will see that their revenue growth is outrageous, this past year is really the very first time TSLA flat lined, but holding at 25B revenue.
From a technical analysis since 2013 on the LOG chart, you can see TSLA has done a 10x rally twice, and has held strong support through it's bear cycles. The next it due by 2027.
TSLA has been uptrend for over a year, and broke it's ATH 6 months ago.
Voluming is rising in the longterm
and literally the conservatives love him,
If you think competitors are nipping at their heels think again. The infrastracture that Elon has built with his mega factories, and their positioning in the market is so insane other's don't even come close.
On the short term,
The FUD will wash away,
TSLA is finding support at the bottom of the channel,
shorterm volume is waning on the sell offs,
Shorts will get squeezed by end of June,
and Up and UP TSLA will continue.
BTFD!
Gold Updates - Friday April 25🔔 Friday Market Prep | Key Gold Zones Only
Microstructure whispers. Friday price action bites.
Friday is notorious for:
Low-volume traps after London lunch;
Dealer sweep games;
Profit-taking volatility;
And “just because” fakeouts to set up Monday gaps;
We don’t predict—we prepare. These are the zones that matter going into NY session.
🔴 SELL INTEREST ZONES
• 3362–3372 - HIT today gave 700+ pips profit✅
🔁 Proven supply—hit twice already, high reactivity
🧠 Only valid on LTF confirmation for re-entry
• 3384–3393
🔁 HTF imbalance + OB trap zone
🧠 Ideal for NY fakeout spike
• 3410–3415
🔁 Premium OB + liquidity grab zone
• 3450–3457
🔁 Untouched HTF OB + stop hunt territory
🟢 BUY INTEREST ZONES
• 3278-3288
📍 Support pocket – OB + below Asia low
• 3250–3260
📍 Deep OB + structural base
• 3224–3233
📍 HTF EQ + reactive demand sweep zone
🧐 Friday is not for heroes—it’s for hunters. Watch for the sweep ➝ shift ➝ confirm before touching anything.
Let Gold make the first move. We respond.
📌 Important Notice!!!
The above analysis is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Always compare with your plan and wait for confirmation before taking action.
ES UpdateWe have an open gap above and an open gap below. I assume the one above will fill first on this rate cut pump until POwell (and/or inflation numbers) squashes it then it fills the gap below.
Everything is green right now, index futures, cryptos, and even gold but I assume that's because it's a commodity not because of speculative hedging. All otehr commodities are up as well.
Flying out to WA tomorrow, no position. Also, RSI is overbought on the 3 hr so be careful. This may be a melt up though. I do expect the gap below to fill eventually, but as we know, sometimes it takes some time.
Probably not trading next week, good luck.

SMC Precision Short on EURUSD | SMT + Liquidity Grab = Clean Set📉 EURUSD 15M | Smart Money Concept (SMC) Trade Idea
🔍 Market Structure & Bias:
- High Timeframe POI (1H): Price tapped into a 1H Supply Zone, indicating potential short setups aligning with HTF bias.

- Entry: Entered short at the mitigation of the refined 15M supply zone.

GBPUSD COT and Liquidity AnalysisHey what up traders welcome to the COT data and Liquidity report. This is a big part of my FX Trading. Im always trying to trade with the Big players so knowing their positions is good thing.
Please be aware that institutions report data to the SEC on Tuesdays and data are reported on Fridays - so again we as retail traders have disadvantage, but there is possibility to read between the lines. Remember in the report is what they want you to see, that's why mostly price reverse on Wednesday after the report so their cards are hidden as long as possible. However if the trend is running you can read it and use for your advantage.
I created this simple free indicator which you can find in the my scripts. It's highlighting the day of the real report - Tuesday.
Here is the tip if the level has confluence with the high volume on COT it can be strong support / Resistance.
So what we see in the report of this week:
We can see slight decrease in the longs and increase in the shorts but for the reversal it has to happen in the liquidity pool. So for the bigger pullback I think market makers will be adding shorts att highs as well as closing longs.

ETH Showing Weakness in Wyckoff DistributionLooks like we may see a nice pull back this weekend. Price has failed to break the labeled Buying Climax and is showing signs of a reversal. Retracement could be back to the last point of support around $1655. Here it can accumulate and continue its up move. I have posted a Idea targeting $2700, I still think this could be in play
