XAU USD LONGGold price was consolidating in a symmetrical triangle pattern from which I opened this long position just at the confluence of the diagonal and horizontal support (s), I expected price to hit the confluence zone before further pump to the upside as it did, but fortunately price mover within the range of the symmetrical triangle and retested the upper band and pumped as predicted. Good setup Though, better luck next time. Better missed than a loss. _THE_KLASSIC_TRADER_.

3 Best Trading Opportunities to Maximize Profit Potential Hey traders, In the today's article, we will discuss 3 types of incredibly accurate setups that you can apply for trading financial markets. 1. Trend Line Breakout and Retest The first setup is a classic trend line breakout. Please, note that such a setup will be accurate if the trend line is based on at least 3 consequent bullish or bearish moves. If the market bounces from a trend line, it is a vertical support. If the market drops from a trend line, it is a vertical resistance. The breakout of the trend line - vertical support is a candle close below that. After a breakout, it turns into a safe point to sell the market from. The breakout of the trend line - vertical resistance is a candle close above that. After a breakout, it turns into a safe point to buy the market from. Take a look at the example. On GBPJPY, the market was growing steadily, respecting a rising trend line that was a vertical support. A candle close below that confirmed its bearish violation. It turned into a vertical resistance . Its retest was a perfect point to sell the market from. 2. Horizontal Structure Breakout and Retest The second setup is a breakout of a horizontal key level. The breakout of a horizontal support and a candle close below that is a strong bearish signal. After a breakout, a support turns into a resistance. Its retest is a safe point to sell the market from. The breakout of a horizontal resistance and a candle close above that is a strong bullish signal. After a breakout, a resistance turns into a support. Its retest if a safe point to buy the market from. Here is the example. WTI Crude Oil broke a key daily structure resistance. A candle close above confirmed the violation. After a breakout, the broken resistance turned into a support. Its test was a perfect point to buy the market from. 3. Buying / Selling the Market After Pullbacks The third option is to trade the market after pullbacks. However, remember that the market should be strictly in a trend . In a bullish trend, the market corrects itself after it sets new higher highs. The higher lows usually respect the rising trend lines. Buying the market from such a trend line, you open a safe trend-following trade. In a bearish trend, after the price sets lower lows, the correctional movements initiate. The lower highs quite often respect the falling trend lines. Selling the market from such a trend line, you open a safe trend-following trade. On the chart above, we can see EURAUD pair trading in a bullish trend. After the price sets new highs, it retraces to a rising trend line. Once the trend line is reached, trend-following movements initiate. What I like about these 3 setups is the fact that they work on every market and on every time frame. So no matter what you trade and what is your trading style, you can apply them for making nice profits. ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️ I am part of Trade Nation's Influencer program and receive a monthly fee for using their TradingView charts in my analysis.

The FMCG index is currently facing the Mother line resistance.

US30 Sells Idea for the New York SessionUnless we see some news come out on tariffs, we could see some downside on US30 today. It is falling inside a wedge pattern right now, and I expect the price action to fall within that wedge with a potential to go down during the New York session. I will be waiting for a break of the upper green zone (around 42150), then a pullback and rejection, to take sells down towards the 42000 (and possibly lower) areas. I am not looking for any buys on US30 today, unless I see some really big green candles towards the upside during the 9:30 am EST.

Buy BTC,it still has the potential to reboundBTC experienced a sharp short-term decline, breaking lower; however, the downward momentum has significantly slowed. Importantly, the recent pullback has not disrupted the broader upward consolidation structure, with the 84500-83500 zone continuing to provide strong support. Once the bearish sentiment fully subsides, I anticipate a relief rally or a technical rebound. Therefore, this pullback could present an excellent opportunity to go long on BTC. Consider entering long positions around the 84500-83500 support zone, targeting an initial upside move toward the 86000-86500 range.

Gold Bulls Again!Following significant buying activity during the Asian session today, spurred by Trump's announcement on auto tariffs, gold prices have begun to cool off and are retracing towards the 3050 region. If the price reaches this level and forms support on the lower timeframes (30-minute to 1-hour charts), there may be an opportunity to take quick buy positions similar to yesterday's trades. At present, selling gold is not advisable, as tariff-related news could trigger volatility at any moment. For buy positions, it is recommended to wait for the price to retrace and confirm that buyers are actively stepping in. This approach minimizes risk and ensures a favorable risk-to-reward ratio. Wishing you a successful trading session and a fantastic Friday ahead!
