Ethereum Future: Limited Upside Ahead?Ethereum price dropped roughly 25% since April 2 due to an overall market crash following Trump’s tariffs implementation. Compared to the almost 40% drop back in February after the first tariff announcement, this time the correction wasn’t as harsh or brutal. So what can we expect next from Ethereum in the coming weeks? The main hope for ETH price remains the upcoming Pectra upgrade. Historically, major Ethereum upgrades have acted as bullish catalysts — for example, ETH roughly doubled in price ahead of both the Merge and the Shanghai upgrade. If history rhymes, we could see a similar pre-upgrade pump this time too. However, even if that rally materializes, I expect it to be limited to the $3,000–$3,400 range. The market lacks the kind of momentum or macro tailwinds needed to push ETH beyond 4k in this cycle — unless there’s a major shift in sentiment. Overall, I remain cautious. The broader crypto market seems to be rolling over, and Ethereum hasn't even reclaimed its ATH. With the next bear cycle approaching, long-term bullish targets might need to be revised — at least for now. Short-term bounce possible thanks to Pectra hype, but don’t expect miracles. ETH likely capped below 3.4k unless something big changes.

Bitcoin’s Make-or-Break Moment: Eyes on $70KBitcoin price almost reached the $74k support area, which is critical for the bull run continuation. This zone has acted as a strong resistance in the past, and a clean bounce from here could signal renewed strength and confidence in the market. However, if this support fails to hold and BTC closes the weekly candle below the $70k level, it would likely mark the end of the current bull phase and signal the beginning of a distribution phase or even the early stages of a new bear market. That doesn’t necessarily mean Bitcoin will crash straight to $50k — corrections are rarely that linear. But it would drastically reduce the chances of seeing new all-time highs in this cycle. The next rally, if it happens, would probably be more muted and shorter-lived. Hopefully BTC will manage to avoid this scenario and hold above the support area. On the positive side, if BTC holds above $70k and we see strong demand stepping in, it could set the stage for a healthy bounce and continuation of the uptrend. Still I expect that BTC will test 70k level and if we see strong buying pressure on that level we can expect some recovery.

Gold head and shoulders bottom trend, bull market strong?🗞News side: 1. Tariffs push up inflation and slow down the economy, and the Federal Reserve may be in trouble 2. The situation between India and Pakistan escalates again 📈Technical aspects: At the hourly level, today's Asian session continued the "wash-out" operation characteristics, quickly rising by 20 US dollars at the opening, and then stepped back to 3310 to confirm the top and bottom conversion support level. The two positive lines seemed to form a "yang-enclosing-yin" upward attack pattern, but suddenly reversed, not only breaking the trend support line of 3280, but also falling to 3274 before bottoming out and rebounding. This erratic trend has a significant long-short double kill effect for investors accustomed to trend continuation strategies. However, we can accurately find the right position in the market to trade and make profits. At present, it is expected to form a "head and shoulders bottom" pattern from a morphological perspective, accumulating momentum for subsequent rises, and there is still room for upside in the short term. At present, any pullback is an opportunity for us to go long. Pay attention to the 3360-3370 line suppression on the top. If this resistance area is broken, it may open up a new round of upward space. TVC:GOLD FOREXCOM:XAUUSD FXOPEN:XAUUSD TVC:GOLD FX:XAUUSD OANDA:XAUUSD

Gold is in shock again, will the short position continue?🗞News side: 1. Tariffs push up inflation and slow down the economy, and the Federal Reserve may be in trouble 2. The situation between India and Pakistan escalates again 📈Technical aspects: Gold experienced a big plunge yesterday, and today it bottomed out near 3275 again and then started to rebound. The current gold price is caught in a wide range of fluctuations, with long and short positions frequently alternating to impact the market, making it difficult to form a unilateral trend. At present, the gold price once rebounded to around 3330. If the gold price breaks through the 3336 line, short-term trading in the European market may touch the upper level near 3350, or even the 3365 line. Today's market cannot chase the rise and sell the fall. Overall, it is still a wide range of fluctuations. It should be a violent roller coaster before the subsequent surge. The European session relies on the low point of 3310 to step back as a defense, focusing on the upper 3350-3360, and further close the key resistance of 3370. The short-term focus below is the support of 3280-3290. 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.

Start buying goldTechnical aspects: Gold has bottomed out and rebounded after a rapid decline today. It has now stood above 3330. When gold breaks above 3330, it has to some extent broken away from the technical repair structure and began to tend to a bullish pattern in terms of form. Although gold is currently under pressure in the 3350-3360 area, as the center of gravity of gold moves up, the support below has gradually moved up to the 3325-3315 area. So I think there is still room for gold to rise, and it may continue to rebound to the 3345-3365 area. Trading strategy: Consider going long on gold in the 3330-3320 area, TP: 3345-3365

Golden stage low area: 3285-3275！Fundamentals: 1. Focus on Trump's dynamics and tariff-related issues; 2. Pay attention to whether geopolitical conflicts will escalate, including the situation between India and Pakistan, Russia and Ukraine, and the situation between the United States and Iran, etc. The current expectation of interest rate cuts has declined, and the tariff storm has cooled down. At the same time, the market is betting on a further trend correction, which may cause capital outflows from the market, which will further hit gold bulls! Technical aspects: As I expected in my previous article, gold is expected to fall below 3300. Sure enough, gold has shown signs of falling below 3300. In the current structure, gold may further extend to the 3280-3270 area, which is also an important support area of ​​primary concern in the short term; and as gold fell sharply, the market was bearish, and short-term resistance also moved down to the 3315-3325 area. Trading strategy: 1. Consider the shorting opportunity after gold rebounds to the 3315-3325 area, TP: 3300-3290 2. Consider the longing opportunity after gold falls to the 3285-3275 area, TP: 3300-3310

NVIDIA: Breakout above ascending triangle, retest confirmationNVDA has been forming an ascending triangle over the past few weeks, with declining volume. Finally, it broke out yesterday, and today, we had a retest of the resistance line. NVDA was down about 1% earlier today however after a successful retest of the resistance line, it is now up 0.8% at the time of writing. In terms of support, it seems the price has successfully bounced off the 50-Day SMA line. While an ascending triangle is bullish, the 200-Day SMA is likely going to be a point of resistance (around $125). This is amid the renewed overall market strength and the news related to the reduced limitations of exporting AI chips - which is contributing to the momentum. Please note: Not financial advice.

Gold is expected to fall below 3300, continue to short gold！Fundamentals: 1. Pay attention to whether the geopolitical conflicts escalate, including the situation between India and Pakistan, Russia and Ukraine, and the situation between the United States and Iran, etc. Technical aspects: Although the gold price gradually rebounded after hitting 3320 points, the current rebound momentum is relatively weak. The gold price has turned from strong to weak, and the short-term "M"-shaped top structure formed by 3435 points and 3414 points above has suppressed the upward space of the gold price. Therefore, we still focus on shorting gold after the rebound. First, we focus on the resistance area of ​​3355-3365 points above. If the gold price rebound fails to successfully break through this area, the gold price will fall again and is expected to continue to fall to around 3280 points. Trading strategy: Consider shorting gold after gold rebounds to the 3355-3365 area, target price: 3340

Pay attention to 3360 and go short if it does not break🗞News side: 1. China and the United States hold talks on trade issues 2. India-Pakistan conflict escalates again 3. Geopolitical risks 📈Technical aspects: At present, gold has fallen below the trend line support. In the short term, we should focus on the battle for 3360. This point is not only the previous support-to-resistance level, but also the key signal for judging the trend reversal. If it cannot hold on to this position, the short trend will continue; if it recovers effectively, it may return to above 3400. Before losing the defensive line (the last starting and falling point) 3360-3362, the bears will still have the upper hand. It just so happens that the 4H lifeline is also in the 3360-3362 area. If the suppression is successful, the price will enter the 3362-3284 area from the lifeline to the lower track. The rebound layout of the US market operation is short-selling, with the target at 3340-3330, and further support at 3310-3300. 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.

Gold prices are plummeting, is a bear market coming?🗞News side: 1. China and the United States hold talks on trade issues 2. India-Pakistan conflict escalates again 3. Geopolitical risks 📈Technical aspects: Today, gold surged to the 3410 line and then ushered in a sharp fall, with the lowest touching near the 3322 line. We also seized the opportunity to notify our VIPs to enter the market, and all VIP members made good gains. At present, gold is still following the news, and the fundamental influencing factors are relatively complicated. Retail investors who trade alone can easily get caught up in the recent gold fluctuations. The gold price fluctuated repeatedly around 3340. The European session focused on the conversion suppression of the 3350-3360 support area. The 4H Bollinger Bands showed a closing shape. If the gold price cannot stand above 3350, then the bulls need to be repaired in the short term before they can continue to rise. The European session focused on the 3350-3360 resistance above and the 3310-3300 support below. If you agree with this view, or have a better idea, please leave a message in the comment area.

Gold is expected to pull back, short gold!Fundamentals: Focus on the Fed's interest rate decision and Powell's speech; I think the Fed will keep the interest rate decision unchanged this time, at least it will not announce a rate cut this time, which may suppress the gold market; Technical aspects: Before the Fed's interest rate decision, gold is currently in a volatile state. However, relatively speaking, it is currently in a volatile and bearish state, with short-term resistance in the 3395-3405 area; and gold has repeatedly tested the 3370-3360 below during the retracement process. After multiple tests, gold may be more likely to break through this support area; the key support below is in the 3360-3350 area, followed by the 3320-3310 area. Trading strategy: Consider shorting gold in the 3395-3405 area, TP: 3370-3360

BCHUSD getting ready for gainsHello traders, this is a monthly chart - to keep things really simple. For the last 2 years BCH price has been "climbing stairs". These "stairs" are based on important levels dating 6 years back (green lines). Price action from Q2 of 2021 up until now has been creating a 'cup and handle' pattern. Handle has beatifully reversed from support level, RSI has found support at 50 level (also important level). This seems a good entry point to me, with target price for profit taking at 1000-1100 USD. Trade is invalidated, if price dips below 265 USD (one step lower). It will take some time for this to play out - remember, it is a monthly chart. This is not a financial advice, trade at your own risk.

CadChf daily bias confirmedGood day traders, I’m back with CadChf but this one is special cause it provides us a clean setup where I will get an opportunity to explain some of ICT concepts that I look for and have made me the trader I am today but I’m not here to talk about Michael!! Just his thoughts behind this type of setup. Well my excitement is that this setup is happening on the daily timeframe so hopefully it’ll be much more understandable. First let’s start with some tape reading on the left hand side we can see that price has been bearish and have reason to believe that price has bottomed as we can see that price left a low only to later take out creating a new one than made a run higher shifting structure on the lower TF’s but here on the daily what price did was leave the first presented FVG which you can see on the chart I have marked it. Back to the tape, if you take a closer look at that F.PFVG you’ll see that price only touch the upper quarter of the level and price made a move higher. Here why I said this one was special👂 ICT teaches how to look at price from a naked eye just by dividing gaps, FVG and OB’s and more.. by 4 quarters and FIB retrace works wonders here 0,25,50,75,100. 50 being the midpoint. Price from experience since paying attention to details always comes for the F.PFVG midpoint ATLEAST!🔊 If you look at the chart again you’ll see a red arrow pointing to that wick’cosidered a gap’, now if we consider that wick a gap than we gonna treat it as one. If you take you FIB and get the levels you’ll see price was a few pips shy of the midpoint of that gap!!👂 Our narrative than becomes…we wanna see price reach the midpoint of that wick considered a gap. Than we gonna shoot down if we can just get to that midpoint 🤞🏾 Because we cannot I repeat we cannot trust price, we can expect it to disrespect that buyside but not close higher 🛑✋, our draw on liquidity is the one below. Please study this setup carefully 🙏🏽🙏🏽
