XAUUSD Bearish biasHello dear traders,
I think gold will continue forming lower lows on its way to the weekly demand zone of 1590-1570 area.
I have draw paths of possible impulse as break and retest areas.
For bullish reversal, I want to see a clear break of 1660 zone with price action retest.
Dollar is getting stronger and stronger with this solid and aggressive FED policy and the continuous rising yields.
However, the global economy is not at the normal levels, so this USD strength might get exhausted after December.
You can share your ideas on the comments!!!
Good luck!
Demand Zone
UsOil H4 TF Projection Hello Traders, here's a chart of the UsOil and right now i'm keeping a bullish bias.
Here are my reasons:
- Daily timeframe Break of structure
- H4 bullish impulse and correction into our demand zone
-Demand zone tallying with the 61.8 fib level
-Double bottom at demand zone/fib zone confluence.
I'm putting all these things together from a technical analysis POV. However, there's the fundamentals too and we see an increase in the price of gas cut across different countries since the Russian/Ukraine happenings. Could this be the fundamental backing that our technical thesis needs?
Anyways, don't take me as your single source of truth, and I hope this technical breakdown helps.

Housing Market Crash Incoming!Demand always rules supply. Always.
BLUF:
Short-term projection = TBD
Mid-term projection = bullish
Long-term projection = bearish to extremely bearish
Traders,
I have been quick to point out the tremendous amount of disinflationary data in my videos which leads CPI reports in some cases by as much as 6 months (i.e. -rent). Now, let's take a closer look at the NAHB's Housing Market Index data which helps us to better denote market sentiment.
First, observe that we have entered well below the weak demand zone. This is generally an area in which we can notice softening demand. Though the housing market may still remain hot in certain cities, others have noted softening demand.
Once we dive below this "Weakening Demand Zone", it can often represent the beginning of a housing market recession, or, in the case of the 2008 era, a crash! We began this crash with certain city markets plummeting through this weakening demand zone, Detroit comes to mind along with a few others. These were our lead cities to watch at the time. At the point in which weakness in these markets began to be acknowledged and reported, it was already too late. Michael Bury (aka - The Big Short) knew this. The crash had begun.
The markets did not react immediately, as we all know. In fact, the opposite: it would be a full 17 months before the stock markets reached their tops and then crashed hard. In a similar fashion, the Fed was notoriously tardy in recognizing lead disinflationary indicators and reducing rates accordingly. Not until a full year and two months AFTER the housing demand fell below its weakening zone would the Fed jump in and begin to diminish rates. By then it was too late.
Fast forward to 2022. Despite the fact that our U.S. housing demand has fallen far below the weakening demand zone and below the approximate median for a housing crash start, the Fed continues to raise rates at a historic record pace. These rate hikes will come home to roost eventually, but not immediately. This is why I am under the persuasion that we WILL enter a more disastrous recession or worse in 2023. The lag effect of the Fed rate hikes will have a significant consequential impact. Just as in our past housing market crash story the impact will be significantly delayed and by the time they are noticeably felt, it will be far too late. Disinflationary data, low demand, low consumer sentiment, etc., will have hit us harder far in advance and the Fed will have realized they should have pivoted sooner.
Though my longer-term outlook appears rather dismal at the onset, my mid-term outlook may be rather surprising to many. I do believe that just as occurred before the 2007-2008 market crash, the preceding price action will become bullish. It took the market a full 17 months to recognize the significance of our housing data, and the fed wasn't much better. Will it be any better this time around? It might be, but as we can learn from history, the market collective and the fed are often irrational and reactionary. The case for my blowoff top past the previous year's November highs still stands. The market will begin to recognize and digest more and more disinflationary data not least of which is housing market demand. The Fed will begin to be pressured more and more to pivot. And whether due to pressure or reason, I believe they will pause or pivot soon. Then the meltup (aka blowoff top) will begin. And sometime mid to late 2023, it all ends. Secular bull market (since 2009) exited. Secular bear market entered.
Be ready my friends!
And pray that I am wrong!

ES (SPY) SUPPLY DEMANDSupply and Demand
Supply and Demand is one of the core strategies used in trading. It focusses on the ancient laws of supply and demand and how price moves in a free-flowing market. The foundation of this strategy is that the amount of an instrument that is available and the desire of buyers for it, drive the price. It identifies zones on the chart where demand overwhelms supply (the demand zone), driving the price up or where supply overwhelms demand (the supply zone), driving the price down. Most supply and demand traders wait for the price to enter these zones, where major activities of buying or selling have taken place, before entering a long or short position themselves.
I MOSTLY DAY TRADE BASED ON THESE ZONES. THE TIME FRAME I PREFER IS 2 MIN AND 5MIN TO TRADE THESE ZONES.
chfjpyHello everyone! My CHFJPY point of view.
We are in a strong bullish trend which is still valid pointing up.
In the recent past, the price has formed incremental retests of Higher Highs and Higher Lows.
Our eyes at Balance of Trade and Inflation Data of Japan, which in case they come to public worse than expected, they are going to rocket to the highs of 151 this pair.
Manipulation is going to get high with Long Wicks at the bottom I think so be cautious with SL levels.
Long Wicks whow wickness and rejections - Orderblocks, but at the same time they do show instant momentum, phsychology of masses and investors and they leave liquidity behind which must be tested soon or later.
Good Luck!
Weekly zone ahead. This mapping is to show a very clear structure of support become resistance in daily timeframe.
I marked this zone as "Fresh SBR 6" area probably can become a good zone to re-entry sell.
If you look an opportunity to buy weekly RBS zone is the best area to take a buy risk.

AUDCAD - Demand ZoneAUDCAD has reach the other end of the Bearish Parallel Channel, it gives counter-trend traders an opportunity to engage the trade.
On a more conservative approach, counter-trend traders could wait for a double bottom with RSI Divergence on the 1hourly chart.
What is crucial in the setup is that the candlestick shouldn't break and close beyond the blue dotted line.
MATIC Remains Stuck Between a Rock and a Hard Place
Primary Chart: MATIC Price Chart Showing Overhead Supply Zones and Fibonacci Retracements
MATIC Network Shows Strength in Recent Months Despite Being in a Bear Market
As shown in the Primary Chart above, MATIC network's price continues to trade well below all-time highs of $2.92 / USD. No argument can be made that it has overcome its bear market just yet. Further, the flag / parallel channel that contained price for much of the rally off the mid-June lows has been broken to the downside (see Primary Chart above). Even so, MATIC has shown strength in the past two months since its June 2022 lows. Consider the chart below that shows MATIC having broken out above a downward trendline going back to all-time highs.
Supplementary Chart A: MATIC's Breakout above Seven-Month Downward Trendline
But despite showing strength in recent months, especially as compared to BTC and ETH, MATIC has been trading below major overhead supply zones that reach back over one year to August 14, 2021. The lower of these two supply zones zones was touched several times in late July and mid-August 2022, with a rejection back below it each time. See Primary Chart (above). MATIC also has a demand zone just below its current price. That demand zone is shown as a teal-blue rectangle in Supplementary Chart B below.
Supplementary Chart B: MATIC's Demand Zone as Support
An argument might be made that intermediate-term trading lows have been established at the June 2022 lows. Such an argument would be based on the measured-move concept, where the two legs of a corrective decline are equal or nearly so. In the Supplementary Chart C below, notice how wave A and C of a major A-B-C decline from all-time highs to the June 2022 lows have equality around the $.48 level. Price traded to this level, and broke below it somewhat, before reclaiming it in a reasonable amount of time.
Supplementary Chart C.1: Measured-Move Showing Potential Intermediate-Term Trading Low
Note that just because a measured move target has been met does not mean a correction is complete. Consider, for example, Supplementary Chart C.2 below, which is not a forecast or technical-analysis based price projection. It merely shows a manner in which a corrective pattern can continue upward in a bear market, consistent with complex Elliott Wave corrective patterns, and can continue higher for some time before resuming lower to retest or break the lows.
Supplementary Chart C.2: Hypothetical Example of Complex Corrective Pattern Continuing Higher from Measured-Move Low Before Retesting Lows Later
Despite substantial weakness in equity markets and crypto markets since mid-August 2022, MATIC has not shown sufficient weakness just yet to cause it to fall anywhere near its YTD lows at $.316. In fact, unlike other cryptocurrencies such as BTC and ETH, MATIC has not broken and held below its .382 retracement of the June-August 2022 rally. On the Primary Chart above, note how MATIC has found strong support multiple days right at its .382 retracements. BTC and ETH have not found similar support at their .382 retracement of the recent rally. In fact, BTC has crashed through all its key Fibonacci retracements including the .618 retracement around $20,488.65 and has held below this level (see Supplementary Chart D.2 below). This comaprison shows MATIC's relative strength since the June 2022 lows as compared to BTC and ETH.
Supplementary Chart D.1: ETH Has Broken Through Its .382 Retracement and Has Held at .50 Retracement
Supplementary Chart D.2: BTC Has Broken Through All Its Key Retracements and Has Held below its .618 Retracement
Conclusion: MATIC Network Remains Stuck Between a Rock and a Hard Place
So MATIC is stuck in chop between a rock and a hard place. The rock is the substantial overhead resistance, and the hard place is what appears to be just a few supports standing between price and bear-market lows. A weekly Ichimoku Kinko Hyo (Ichimoku) chart shows just how difficult the resistance is despite incredible price strength in recent months. The cloud remains very thick overhead and red colored and even thicker in the near future, signs of formidable resistance in downtrend. The Kijun line (blue) also stands as strong resistance in addition to the other resistances mentioned in this post. This line decisively repelled price in mid-August 2022.
Supplementary Chart E: Weekly Ichimoku Kinko Hyo Chart
Note the small twist in the Weekly Ichimoku cloud above, however, which suggests a possible weakness in overhead resistance where a rally could theoretically break above the cloud more easily under Ichimoku analysis principles. But the odds of this occurring in the current macroeconomic environment seem bleak at best. Nevertheless, markets do tend to move in unexpected ways, and this twist in the cloud should be monitored in October 2022 to see whether it holds any glimmer of hope for a break back above the weekly cloud. The weekly Kijun must be conquered first, though, and until price can rise above the Weekly Kijun, all talk of a break above the weekly cloud remains premature.
The daily cloud offers a little better picture for the trend in the intermediate term. Price remains above a green-colored cloud that slopes upward ever so slightly. But again, this is insufficient to change the bear-market trend, though it is a necessary first step. Even on the daily chart, price has fallen back below the Kijun line at $.90, and price has also pierced back into the cloud itself, a sign of weakness. Resistance seems to arise to current price action from the top edge of the cloud, called the SSA line.

EUR / CHF LONG - Potential trend changeAfter we have been in a downtrend in the EUR/CHF pair for quite some time, I expect a potential trend change.
- the existing rally in the DXY could come to an end in the near future, which would ease the pressure on the EUR.
I provide the idea with the consideration of rules of "SUPPLY&DEMAND" theory, which focuses on market influence of banks.
The market moves when banks open positions:
- in our case it is a LONG position - of banks / large investors.
- by buying, retail investors were forced to liquidate their SHORT positions = "positions were bought" = "buying cascade".
The banks need more than one run-up to fill their position "100%" due to their position size.
- the next run-up could be into the 0.88 FIBO in my opinion, so that the banks get a similar purchase price. (Level combined with DEMAND.)
- the retail investors will not expect a trend reversal and will open more SHORT positions, allowing the banks to get the liquidity they need.
If the SL level (stop loss) I set is broken, we can expect a further sell-off. (Should it not be a fake-out).
- There are on the time levels 1-4h large "DEMAND" zones at entry, which should bring about a reaction.
- The banks are not interested in the price falling below their EC, so they will defend this level.
If you disagree, feel free to let me know - I am still in the learning process.
Thank you and happy trading!
DXY USD - LONG - Flag + Supply&DemandThe USD now dominates the market with huge weighting and the analysis of the future movement is essential, for all other tradable currencies and asset classes.
I provide the idea, with the consideration of rules of the "SUPPLY&DEMAND" theory, which focuses on the market influence of banks.
CURRENT STATUS:
- the DXY is in a flag, which is normally a "Bullishes pattern".
- the existing macroeconomic circumstance suggests a trend continuation.
From a daily perspective, we have broken out of an upward channel, which has not been tested at this point.
- in order for the DXY to continue its rally, it would be healthy to test the channel for confirmation beforehand.
IDEA VIEW:
- we are in the 15 min chart, which means we are looking at the market from a magnifying glass point of view. - the bullish flag could break out as in the theory and would thus allow a LONG position.
- the idea refers to an early position entry to take the whole movement with less risk (fake out)
All RETAIL market participants assume a trend continuation, but also hope for a correction. A crossroads which provides a large amount of liquidity for the large speculators / banks.
STOP LEVEL:
- Should the SL level (stop loss) set by me be broken, we can expect a correction after confirmation. (Should it not be a fake-out).
- Drawn in the chart to follow up.
TAKE PROFIT:
- there are large "SUPPLY" zones on the time levels T / W / M, which should bring about a reaction against.
> 117-120
- moreover, we have relevant 1.618 FIBO targets
> 114,864
> 115,437
- POIs are at
> 117,019
> 117,936
Should you disagree, feel free to let me know - I am still in the learning process.

DXY USD - SHORT - Flag + Supply&DemandThe USD now dominates the market with huge weighting and the analysis of the future movement is essential, for all other tradable currencies and asset classes.
I provide the idea, with the consideration of rules of the "SUPPLY&DEMAND" theory, which focuses on the market influence of banks.
CURRENT STATUS:
- the DXY is in a flag, which is normally a "Bullish pattern".

From a daily perspective, we have broken out of an upward channel, which has not been tested at this point.
- in order for the DXY to continue its rally, it would be healthy to test the channel for confirmation beforehand.
If this does not happen, the trend will continue and allow a LONG position. - for this, please consider the "LONG scenario" of mine.
IDEA VIEW:
- we are in the 15 min chart, with which we look at the market from the view of a magnifying glass. - the bullish flag could break out in the opposite direction and would thus allow a SHORT position.
- the idea refers to an early position entry to take the whole movement with less risk (fake out)
All RETAIL market participants assume a trend continuation, which provides a large amount of liquidity for the large speculators / banks.
- in my opinion, it would be quite lucrative to take this liquidity before a further trend continuation (= SHORT / correction)
STOP LEVEL:
- should the SL level (stop loss) set by me be broken, we can expect a trend continuation after a confirmation. (Should it not be a fake-out).
- Drawn in the chart to follow.
TAKE PROFIT:
- there are large "DEMAND" zones at the 0.88 FIBO (111.50 - 111.00) on the time levels 1-4h, which should bring about a counter reaction.
- drawn in the chart to follow.
Should you disagree, feel free to let me know - I am still in the learning process.
