Beyond Technical Analysis

Chasing Oil Spikes? How Geopolitics Can Wreck SetupsOil prices surged over 12% in Asia on Middle East headlines, sparking a surge of volatility across safe-haven currencies and stock market futures during thin trade. It felt like a good time to provide food for thought to newer traders looking to chase these moves, highlight the mockery geopolitics can make of technical analysis with recent examples, and provide a filter for when the waters may be safer to reenter.

BTC Short-term selling pressure due to war news💎 BTC PLAN UPDATE (June 13) NOTABLE NEWS ABOUT BTC: Prices of Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Ripple (XRP) slipped as rising geopolitical tensions between Israel and Iran sparked a wave of risk aversion across crypto markets. As uncertainty deepens, the three largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization are on track to close the week in the red, with current price action signaling the potential for a deeper correction. Bitcoin bears regain control After failing to reclaim its all-time high of $111,980 earlier in the week, Bitcoin lost upward momentum and began a steady pullback, slipping below key support at $106,406 on Thursday. As of Friday, BTC continues its downward trajectory, hovering near the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $102,447. TECHNICAL ANALYSIS PERSPECTIVE: We successfully identified the peak at the 110K resistance level. As predicted, BTC dropped $7,000 following disappointing CPI and PPI reports. Currently, the price has fallen back into a descending channel pattern and is expected to decline further. Bitcoin’s upward trend is under threat as funding rates become more constrained. Earlier this week, Bitcoin hovered near its all-time high of $111,980, but market sentiment remained alarmingly cautious—likely due to uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment. The path of least resistance is gradually shifting downward, especially as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) falls to the midline at 50 from a recent high of 64 on the daily chart. Traders will look for bearish confirmation signals from the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator—signaled when the blue MACD line crosses below the red signal line. Watch for long positions around the 100K price area, with a target back to 103K. If the price breaks below the 100K support level, we should avoid holding onto a bullish bias. At this time, whether you’re a newcomer or experienced trader, it’s advisable to spend time practicing and reinforcing technical analysis knowledge.

Gold May See Minor Pullback After Testing $3400📊 Market Development: Gold surged to approach the $3,400 mark after U.S. Unemployment Claims came in higher than expected. The weak labor data increased speculation of an earlier rate cut by the Fed, pressuring the USD and bond yields, which in turn supported gold prices. 📉 Technical Analysis: • Key Resistance: $3,400 • Nearest Support: $3,365 • EMA: Price remains above EMA 09 → bullish bias intact • Candle/Volume/Momentum: Long upper wick on H1 suggests profit-taking near $3,400; declining volume may signal weakening momentum. 📌 Outlook: Gold may experience a short-term pullback if it fails to break above $3,400 and the USD strengthens in the New York session. 💡 Suggested Trade Setup: 🔻 SELL XAU/USD at: $3,395–$3,400 🎯 TP: $3,375 ❌ SL: $3,406 🔺 BUY XAU/USD at: $3,365–$3,370 🎯 TP: $3,390 ❌ SL: $3,355

Bitcoin Key Market Structure Update 🔑 ZemoG Trading — Bitcoin Key Market Structure Update As outlined in our previous analysis, a decisive close below 109.6k signaled the start of Bitcoin’s anticipated decline, pushing price action toward completing the right side of the unfolding market structure cycle. BTC has now tapped 103.6k, a significant wick level and established point of control — areas where liquidity hunts and sharp reversals are not only possible but expected. Whenever price strikes these structural pivots, the market seeks to rebalance by sweeping residual wicks before resuming the primary trend. 🔍 What’s Next? For our upcoming short entry opportunities, we are watching for precise reactions and rejection patterns at the following upper wick clusters: 104.6k 105.3k 105.8k 106.4k 107.1k 108.2k 108.8k 🎯 Short-term Downside Targets: 102.3k (interim support) 101.4k (secondary profit zone) 100.6k (key structural break level) A confirmed close below 100.6k will validate further downside continuation and unlock the next leg of the sequence. 🧭 Key Takeaway: Patience and precision are your greatest allies. Wait for the key levels and execute with discipline. 1️⃣1️⃣ ♾️ Trust the sequence. Respect the reversal. Repeat the mastery. — ZemoG Trading

SUNWAY GOING MARK UPFor Sunway, This is an Atypical Re-ACcmulation Schematic #1 -I maintained my prev hypothesis (Position triggered Stop Loss Level, probably i was too early for this) *refer my prev post I view sunway as a Top Competitor, which my no.1 pick would be Gamuda (Refer my prev post) -Both of which are Insti. Fav As for the dropping in earnings, the technical side is too beautiful to ignore Formation of Feather's Weight (Blue LIne) Along with Possible SpringBoard (Red Line) in action Would be good sign, if today & upcoming Bars/Candlesticks, succesfully closing above the suply on 10/6/25 (Red Arrow) Position initiated with very tight Risk PureWyckoff

Aptos, Good & Bad (Leveraged Trading vs Spot)This is both good and bad at the same time. The bad part, or rather sad part, is the fact that there hasn't been any decent bullish action recently. This pair did not grow by any significant amount after its 7-April low. Ok, what about the good part? The good part is that prices are low. This pair is "yet to move." Low prices means a great buy opportunity for what we know comes next. I know, I know... You might not believe me or your morale might be done but we already had a preview with many pairs growing between 100 and 300%. In less than two months. That's the preview. But the market is big and not the entire market can advance in a single wave. That's why I keep on harping "choose wisely," because sometimes we can end up with the pairs that are not moving in the current wave. They will move, trust, but some will move now and others later down the road. Ok, good and bad. The bad part is not that bad but it can be said that it is bad that prices are low. But this is actually good. If prices were high, there would be no buying opportunity, we would have to ignore, dismiss this pair. Since prices are trading low-near support, we can accumulate; buy and hold focused on the long-term. I mentioned tons of times leveraged trading but all these chart setup can be traded spot. In fact, any setup that is good for leverage is even better for spot because the risk is none. With spot trading we simply hold. What's the problem? You expected 1,000% growth in 2 months? If that's the case, it simply takes longer and we wait. See? No loss, the worst case scenario is a long-term wait. That's spot trading, buy and hold and you will win in the end. Leveraged trading is more complex but you know, risk vs reward. You put on lots of risk, huge risk but wow, the rewards potential is awesome. We only approach this tool when we learn the market, when we know what we are doing and we have no need for money; only when money is already plentiful and available. If you have a need to earn now, "make money fast," and so on; avoid leveraged trading at all costs because it is very likely that you will lose everything rather than achieve success. But, on the other hand, if you are living the good life, you communicate with your wife and you have heart, you are grateful for the food you eat, for the simple stuff, for your house, your friends, your bed; then you can use leveraged trading. Because you will be able to know when to close a position and say "thank you!" rather than double-down on a losing trade. In short, we need a stable life and mind to use this tool with any success. If our lives and minds are not stable, it is better to start slow. If you cannot make money slow, you will not be able to make money fast. If you cannot appreciate $100, you won't be able to accept $1,000 for a single trade. So, thanks a lot for your continued support. I hope you are enjoying the content. It is always my pleasure to write for you, day after day after day. Remember, it is not about getting it right or getting it wrong, it is all about a mental, emotional and spiritual connection. I am sharing what I learn just so that you can avoid the pain of a major loss, something that I know just too well because I've been there before. I've lost everything countless times and yet, I continue to fight, prosper and grow. Namaste.
