How to arrange after gold falls into consolidation🗞News side: 1. US officials said Trump's statement was related to the Golden Dome Project, which may affect the flow of funds 2. The tension in the Middle East has intensified, and the risk aversion sentiment has increased, which is good for gold 3. Although the withdrawal of Indian and Pakistani troops has eased the regional situation, geopolitical risks still exist 4. Trump mentioned the tax bill, which affected economic expectations and affected gold investment sentiment to a certain extent. 📈Technical aspects: At present, gold is in consolidation, and the upward trend is slightly stagnant. From the hourly chart, there are signs of downward correction after the upward test of 3320. In the short term, the upper 3320 line has a certain suppression, so gold may test the support again and then rise after stabilizing. Then the first support below is the 3292 line, followed by the 3285 line. If it falls below, it may test the two key support points of 3273 and 3265. The current trend is not clear. In the future trading, we will wait patiently for the gold price to stabilize before entering the market.

Nifty Analysis EOD – May 21, 2025 – Wednesday 🟢 Nifty Analysis EOD – May 21, 2025 – Wednesday 🔴 🌀 The Dead Cat Bounces Effect After Yesterday's Quick Fall 🌀 Nifty opened with a 45-point gap-up and, within the first 10 minutes, that gap was filled—marking a low of 24692.65. From there, a sudden burst of buying pressure launched the index above the 24768–24800 resistance zone in just 25 minutes. This sharp move triggered a round of short covering, propelling Nifty to the day’s high of 24946.20. As shared live on TradingView, the Fib resistance zone of 24930–24940 (0.764–0.786 levels) was a key level to watch. True to expectation, Nifty faced strong rejection from this zone, leading to a V-shaped reversal—wiping out all gains in the next hour and marking a new low of 24685.35. 🌀 Screenshot from Tradingview - 1 🌀 Screenshot from Tradingview - 2 It was a rollercoaster ride in the first half. Post this, Nifty traded mostly within the CPR’s Top Central (TC) and Bottom Central (BC) range—though this range itself was 104 points, keeping the session active and far from boring. Nifty’s close at 24813, around the VWAP and Central CPR, suggests a temporary equilibrium between buyers and sellers. The good part? We closed above the critical 24768–24800 support-turned-resistance. But there's a catch—the close is below yesterday’s Fib 0.5 retracement, signaling potential caution. ⚠️ Cautionary Note:In the short-term, today’s session fits the textbook example of a Dead Cat Bounce. With weekly expiry tomorrow, it's wise to stay alert and not get trapped in noise. Discipline and patience will be key. 🛡 25 Min Time Frame Chart 🔄 What’s Next? / Bias Direction Wide trading range remains intact. But here’s the game plan: 📈 Long Setup:Above 24850, watch for strength with targets:→ 24920→ 24980→ 25075 📌 Above 25075, sharp short covering can drive price towards 25222 (Yes, it’s far—but good traders plan ahead, always). 📉 Short Setup:Below 24640–24625, weakness may extend down towards:→ 24500→ 24460 Let price action confirm. 🛡 5 Min Intraday Chart 🥷 Gladiator Strategy Update Strategy Parameters ATR: 324.57 IB Range: 151.65 → Medium IB Market Structure: Balanced Trade Highlights ✅ 1st Long Trigger: 10:05 AM – Target Achieved (R:R = 1:1.5) 💼 Total Trades: 1 🕯 Daily Time Frame Chart 🔍 Support & Resistance Levels 🔺 Resistance Zones: 24,882 24,920 24,980 ~ 25,000 25,062 ~ 25,070 🔻 Support Zones: 24,768 ~ 24,800 24,660 24,640 ~ 24,625 24,590 24,530 ~ 24,480 24,460 ✍️ Final Thoughts "Volatility doesn’t trap the prepared, it challenges them."

Shiba Inu Crypto: A Useless Coin That Can Still Make You RichHey everyone, welcome back to a new supply and demand crypto analysis. Today, I will analyse one of the most unexpected — but potentially lucrative — investment opportunities in the crypto space right now: Shiba Inu Metaverse crypto. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking… “Isn’t Shiba Inu just another meme coin?” And yes, fundamentally, it’s not trying to solve world hunger or revolutionise finance. But guess what? You don’t need a coin to be helpful to make money from it. All you need is to understand price action and supply and demand. That’s it. What is Shiba Inu? So let’s break it down. Shiba Inu started as a meme — a direct competitor to Dogecoin. It’s an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum network with a massive circulating supply and a huge following. Over time, it has evolved and launched its own ecosystem — including Shibarium, SHIB: The Metaverse, and other utilities. But let’s be real: Shiba Inu is not about real-world utility. It’s about speculation, community hype, and timing the market right based on simple but powerful trading concepts. Daily Timeframe is Trending UP Right now, things are shifting in our favour on the daily timeframe. We’ve just entered an uptrend — a key change in market structure — and more importantly, we’ve got a new imbalance forming around $0.00001320. This is the next key level where we’re waiting to re-enter the market. Why wait? Because smart investors don’t chase candles. They wait for the price to return, where demand will likely kick in again. That level is $0.00001320. Once price returns there and confirms demand, we buy — and we ride the next wave.

As gold's rally stalls, do bears have a chance?Technical aspect: Gold is currently fluctuating in a narrow range around 3310, and the short-term direction is not clear. However, the rebound potential is relatively weak, but for the London market, gold's willingness to retreat is not strong; however, from a technical perspective, the current gold structure is still biased towards bulls, and gold still has the potential to continue to rebound to the area around 3330, or even the area around 3350; However, after the rise of gold stagnates, we still cannot aggressively chase gold in trading, one is to prevent technical retracement after the sharp rise of gold; the other is to prevent the retracement of gold in order to grab liquidity after the rise of gold stagnates. In the short term, the support area we must pay attention to is in the 3285-3275 area, followed by the 3260-3250 area. If gold cannot break through the 3320-3330 area in the short term, gold may still continue to test the support area. Trading strategy: 1. If gold still cannot effectively break through the area around 3320 in the short term, you can consider trying to short gold in small quantities around 3310-3320; TP: 3280-3270, set up protection to prevent gold from continuing to rise to 3330 or even 3350; 2. Consider going long on gold when gold retreats to the 3285-3280 area, set up protection to prevent gold from continuing to retreat to the 3260 area.

Gold is rising strongly, can it retreat and go long today?🗞News side: 1. US officials said Trump's statement was related to the Golden Dome Project, which may affect the flow of funds 2. The tension in the Middle East has intensified, and the risk aversion sentiment has increased, which is good for gold 3. Although the withdrawal of Indian and Pakistani troops has eased the regional situation, geopolitical risks still exist 4. Trump mentioned the tax bill, which affected economic expectations and affected gold investment sentiment to a certain extent. 📈Technical aspects: Yesterday we gave the view that there would be suppression at the 3290 level above, but affected by geopolitics, risk aversion sentiment rose again. Today, the moving average spread upward, and the Bollinger Bands opened and expanded, and the situation is still bullish. At present, we need to pay attention to the key short-term support level, focusing on the 3280-3285 support line. If the price retreats to this level and does not weaken, it can be considered as an opportunity for us to go long. If the resistance of 3320 is broken through strongly, the upper target will move up, and the lower support will also move up accordingly. 3300 will be converted into an entry opportunity for bulls to pull back. Therefore, we need to observe the price continuity in the European session. If the European session continues to break highs, the US session's correction will still be mainly based on long positions. During the day, it is recommended to wait for gold to retreat to 3290-3280 and try to arrange long positions, looking upward to 3320-3330. If you agree with this view, or have a better idea, please leave a message in the comment area. I look forward to hearing different voices.

Is a Range Forming?The S&P 500 has enjoyed a powerful rally in the last month, and now some traders may anticipate a sideways move. The first pattern on today’s chart is 5,971, the final weekly close of 2024. The index chopped on either side of that level a few times in January and early February. It stalled there in late February and early March as tariffs were confirmed on Mexico and Canada. SPX peaked just three points below that price on Monday before halting. Is the old resistance still in effect? Second, SPX made a lower low and a higher high that session. Tuesday was just the opposite. That combination of an outside candle, followed by an inside candle, may suggest a change of direction is coming. Third, Wilder’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) has turned down after nearing an overbought condition. If a pullback occurs, traders may eye roughly 5,773 as support. That was the low in January and a high in late March. Next, prices are historically far above the 50-day simple moving average (SMA). However, the SMA is turning upward. That could suggest the intermediate-term trend has grown more positive, which may keep pullbacks shallow. Finally, few important events appear to be scheduled before next Wednesday. (Minutes from the last Federal Reserve meeting and Nvidia earnings are both due then.) That lack of catalysts may also create drift – especially with a long holiday weekend approaching.

EurAud update.Good day traders, I’m back with yet another update on EurAud. In the description I will tag my previous setup on EurAud to show you where we are in price and I left the drawings as they were to help you understand price more. On Monday price opened with that same bullish flow and pushed till the low of the volume imbalance as expected but as we can see that FVG was able to hold price above. From the original setup what price did yesterday was expected Thursday or Friday the latest, so since price did not go for that 1st.PFVG on Monday and Tuesday, we can now expect price to go for that level. If we take a closer look at that leg higher from that FVG, we have a balanced price range that we can expect price not to respect.

Nifty Analysis EOD – May 20, 2025 – Tuesday🟢 Nifty Analysis EOD – May 20, 2025 – Tuesday 🔴 Breakout Denied. Breakdown Delivered. 📈 Nifty SummaryAfter two sessions of tight-range traps, the long-awaited move finally played out today—and it was all about the bears. Despite a 50-point gap-up start at 24,996 (just shy of the psychological 25,000 level), Nifty quickly reversed. The open was inside the resistance zone (24,980–25,000), and ignoring a minor 15-point wick, it resembled a classic Open = High (OH) trap. By 35 minutes into the session, the index had already broken PDL and S1, hitting a low of 24,863, only to bounce 100+ points back toward 24,967—again rejected from just below 25K. This rejection triggered a sharp vertical fall, with a steep 35° downward slope, showing no pause, no VWAP reversion—just pure directional intent. The downside breach hit multiple key levels:✅ 24,920✅ PDL✅ 24,882✅ 24,800–24,768 zone✅ and finally marked a low of 24,669, right at our 24,660 support level from yesterday’s map. In yesterday’s report, we noted: “A move below 24,882 could accelerate downside momentum. All eyes on 24,800 next.”✅ Targets 24,800 and 24,732 both achieved today. 🕯 Daily Time Frame Chart 🕯 Daily Candle Breakdown Candle Type: Strong Bearish (near Marubozu) Intraday Range: 340 points Upper Wick: ~15 pts (negligible) Lower Wick: ~44 pts (also insignificant vs range) Candle Interpretation: Textbook bearish Marubozu-type (near full-body) 📉 Closing Concerns: 🔻 Below 24,732, the 0.618 Fib of May 15th candle 🔻 Below May 15 Open ❌ No retracement or end-of-day bounce These signals point to a structurally weak close and increase the probability of further downside extension. 📊 Bias Going ForwardAs of today, there are no signs of buyers stepping in. If 24,670 (today's low) breaks, it could open the gates to test: 🧨 24,640–24,625 zone (watch closely during IB) 🧨 Below that → 24,535 / 24,500 / 24,480 On the upside, any pullback will face hurdles at: 🛑 24,768–24,800 (strong resistance zone) 🛑 24,882 / 24,920 Let the first half of tomorrow's session guide the tone. Any sustained hold above 24,800 might stall the fall. Else, the drift may continue. 🛡 25 Min Time Frame Chart 🛡 5 Min Intraday Chart 🛡 Gladiator Strategy Update Strategy Parameters ATR: 331.49 IB Range: 146.95 → 🟡 Medium IB Market Structure: ⚖️ Balanced Trade Highlights 🔻 1st Short Trigger: 11:55 – Trapped, Loss Booked ✅ 2nd Short Trigger: 12:45 – Target Achieved (Risk:Reward 1:3.5) 📊 Total Trades: 2 📍 Support & Resistance Levels 🟩 Resistance Zones: 24,768 ~ 24,800 24,882 24,920 24,980 ~ 25,000 25,062 ~ 25,070 🟥 Support Zones: 24,660 24,640 ~ 24,625 24,590 24,530 ~ 24,480 24,460 🔮 What’s Next?The market has broken key fib and candle support zones from the May 15th rally. If there's no defence early tomorrow, the fall may intensify. Keep an eye on 24,640–24,625 during IB. Holding above could invite some short covering. But failure here can extend toward 24,500 and below. 🧠 Final ThoughtsThe market gave us what it hinted at yesterday—a fast break once 24,882 gave way. But with no bounce, no defence, and a full-body bear candle—the pressure is still on. “Markets don't always roar before falling. Sometimes, they whisper, then collapse.” ✏️ DisclaimerThis is just my personal viewpoint. Always consult your financial advisor before taking any action.

ASX Bulls Sniff Record HighsASX 200 SPI futures have broken above the 8400 level and May 16 high of 8424, opening the door to a bullish setup—provided the price holds these levels into the close. Longs could be considered above 8424 with a stop below 8400 for protection, targeting a retest of the record high at 8581. While momentum indicators are nearing overbought territory, they continue to trend higher, keeping the bullish bias intact. A close below 8400 would invalidate the setup. Fundamentally, the underlying index remains expensive across several valuation metrics—especially the banking sector, where multiples are hard to justify. But that hasn't stopped the rally so far. Optimism following the RBA’s dovish shift in May is helping fuel the latest breakout. Good luck! DS

EURUSD - Could the Low Be in Place?EURUSD has recently been struggling for upside momentum as a reduction in trade tensions have boosted the dollar, and hopes for another ECB rate cut in June have weighed on the Euro. This has seen a selloff in the world’s biggest FX pair from its 2025 highs at 1.1573 posted on April 21st, to a low of 1.1065 on May 12th, as US and China trade representatives outlined details of a significant reduction in tariffs on imports from each country, before eventually closing on Friday slightly higher at 1.1150. Roll forward to the start of this new trading week and a downgrade to US government debt by rating agency Moody’s (last Friday) has seen a brief resurgence of the sell US assets trade, and while US stock indices recovered their initial losses into the close yesterday evening, the dollar has remained under pressure with EURUSD trading against a potential important technical level (more on this in the technical update below). This leads us to ask the question, was the low seen on May 12th at 1.1065 a final capitulation of weak longs, and could a new up trend be developing again? While further news flow on the topic of US government debt, including updates on progress through Congress of a Republican tax cut and spending bill, may continue to dominate the direction of EURUSD across the rest of the week, sentiment could also be impacted by Thursday's release of the May forward looking PMI surveys from the Eurozone (0900 BST) and US (1445 BST), which will provide traders with an insight into the current health of these two major economies. The current technical outlook may also be important. Technical Update: Focus on Fibonacci Retracements Interestingly, the sell-off into the May 12th low at 1.1065 did approach what might have been classed as a support level at 1.1056, marked by the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of March 27th to April 21st price strength. As you can see from the chart below, it is the test of this price level that looks to have prompted the latest EURUSD recovery. Resistance Focus: Traders may well now be focusing on 1.1263, which is equal to the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the April 21st to May 12th 2025 price weakness, a level that was successful in holding, on a closing basis, yesterday’s attempt to push to higher price levels. That said, successful closing breaks above 1.1263 while no guarantee of further price strength, might leave some traders looking for an extension of the current upside move, with the next resistance potentially standing at 1.1381, which is the higher 61.8% Fibonacci retracement. Support Focus: What if 1.1263 Caps Further Gains? It is equally possible the 1.1263 Fibonacci retracement resistance can continue to hold, even turn price activity lower once more. With this in mind, we should perhaps monitor support at 1.1171, which is equal to half the latest recovery move. Closing breaks below this level might then lead to a more extended phase of price weakness towards the 1.1056 retracement support, possibly further if this in turn were to give way.

DXY demonstrates the USD is in troubleThis week's selloff has a chance of validating last week's Shooting Star candle. It's only Tuesday, so there's still much time left, but if the DXY does fall here, the next stop is 97.50, and then 94.75. I don't consider 97.50 a strong level, so somewhere near 95 is more likely. Thursday's PMI numbers could push the USD in either direction. The last print was 50.6, and anything below 50 is considered a contraction, so little room for downside is available. This report will be more carefully watched I believe than usual.

Gold price suddenly rises, how to get out of the trap at night🗞News side: 1. Humanitarian crisis in Gaza Strip, many civilians injured. I hope that world peace is all right 2. The call between the Russian and Ukrainian leaders is still ongoing 📈Technical aspects: After gold fell back after touching 3250, it rose again and has broken through to around 3270. This rapid rise was unexpected. Although the 1H moving average turned upward, the gold price is currently consolidating at a high level. It is not suitable for us to enter the market at this time. We should remain on the sidelines and pay attention to the pressure at 3290 above. The short-term support below needs to pay attention to 3250-2540.
