A Follow up to: “Adjustments for Better Readings & VSA vs BTC"When a trend approaches its end, we typically observe the formation of a buying or selling climax. That was certainly the case during Wyckoff’s era. Everything he described—market manipulation, signals, footprints—remains relevant today. But you know what that also means: if it's out there, it’s old news. Yes, this is still happening, but we need to acknowledge that this information is no longer exclusive. And when a method becomes well-known—especially among retail traders—it can be used against them. Wyckoff himself hinted at this: the manipulators can and do use these same technical patterns to deceive. His real message? “Keep an open mind.” 📉 In our current BTC chart, we’re seeing a textbook example of potential manipulation. A selling climax is visible—normally a sign of trend exhaustion and a bullish reversal. But is that really the case here? Did the downtrend truly end? On the 1-Hour timeframe, both the RSI and volume indicators suggest otherwise: a bearish continuation seems more likely. 🧱 We're also witnessing a real-time formation of a Double Top pattern, taking shape since June 6. Measured by body candle spreads (excluding wicks), we observe four touches within a key price rectangle. These align with a known candlestick pattern: the Tweezer Top, commonly associated with bearish reversals. What’s more, all of this is happening within a supply zone—actually three marked zones on the chart. The most recent zone shows signs of offloading pressure, amplified by both the Double Top and bearish candlestick formations. And I haven’t even touched on the rejection wicks or how bearish volume spikes are gaining strength. That’s where the principle of Effort vs. Result comes in—remember, nothing in the market is free. 📊 In line with our past two posts, note how price action (PA) shows equal highs while RSI diverges, reinforcing earlier signals. The signs are stacking up. So, the critical question now is: Are we heading below the $100.718 level for a confirmed Head & Shoulders pattern? Or is this just a retest before another move? If this way of reading the market resonates with you and you want to go deeper—whether it’s building confidence or spotting signals before they play out—I work with a small circle of traders sharing TA privately on a daily basis.

Silver Double Top at Major Resistance – Bearish Breakdown📌 Overview: This chart shows a classic Double Top Pattern forming on the weekly timeframe for Silver (XAG/USD). Price has reached a multi-year resistance zone and failed to break above it twice, signaling potential exhaustion of bullish momentum and the possibility of a larger trend reversal. 🧩 Detailed Pattern Breakdown: 🔹 1. Double Top Pattern The double top is one of the most reliable bearish reversal patterns, formed when the market tests a resistance level twice and fails to break it, creating two rounded or sharp peaks. In this case: Top 1 and Top 2 occurred near the $35–36 zone, clearly marked as a major resistance level. This indicates strong selling pressure from that zone. 🔹 2. Major Resistance Zone The $35–36 price range has historically acted as a ceiling for Silver prices. It rejected price several times between 2021 and 2025. When this kind of level holds, it often precedes sharp corrections, especially when volume begins to drop and momentum weakens. 🔹 3. Rising Trendline Break After forming the double top, price broke down through a key ascending trendline, a sign that the bulls are losing control. The breakdown is further confirmed by a strong bearish candle, closing below both the trendline and a critical SR (Support-Resistance) Interchange zone. 🔹 4. Retesting in Progress Post-breakdown, the price action is now retesting the broken trendline and horizontal zone (~$28). This is a crucial moment: If Silver gets rejected here, it confirms the bearish breakout and signals entry for sellers. If it reclaims this level, the bearish setup could fail, and price might consolidate or resume uptrend. 🔹 5. SR - Interchange Zone This zone is marked because it acted as resistance during the 2022-2023 period, and then flipped into support in 2024. Currently, it’s being tested from below, making it an SR flip retest. These zones often become inflection points. 🔹 6. Black Mind Curve Support An important and unique addition is the “Black Mind Curve Support” – a curved dynamic trendline that has historically aligned with price retracements. The projected path shows that the curve and horizontal support (~$22.68) intersect, strengthening the significance of that level. 🔹 7. Measured Move & Target Based on the height of the Double Top pattern (approx. $10 range from top to neckline), the measured move places the target near $22.68, which matches both: Historical demand zone Curve support This alignment makes $22.68 a realistic and strong downside target. 🧭 Strategic Summary: Pattern Type: Double Top (Bearish Reversal) Key Resistance: $35–36 (Multi-year rejection level) Trendline: Broken (Bearish confirmation) Retesting Area: $28–29 zone (Watch for rejection) Downside Target: $22.68 (Confluence of support zones) Invalidation: Clean weekly close above $35 🔍 What Traders Should Watch: ✅ Bearish Candlestick Confirmation at the retest zone (e.g. bearish engulfing, shooting star). ✅ Increased volume on drop, confirming participation by larger players. 🚫 Invalidation signal would be a sustained move and close back above the resistance zone. ⚖️ Risk Management Tip: This pattern offers a high risk-to-reward ratio trade setup. Short entries on the retest with stop loss above $36 can provide substantial downside potential toward $22–23, especially in a commodity market prone to sharp retracements. 📌 Final Thoughts: Silver appears to be forming a clean double top reversal at a long-term resistance. If the current retest fails, a significant correction may follow, targeting the $22.68 level. This pattern, combined with key support-resistance dynamics and psychological zones, makes this setup worth monitoring for medium- to long-term traders.

BTC/USD Bearish Setup – Trendline Retest Before the Fall?🔍 Technical Breakdown – BTC/USD 3H Timeframe Bitcoin is displaying a textbook Double Top pattern formation on the 3-hour chart, signaling a potential bearish reversal after a strong bullish run. This classic pattern suggests buyer exhaustion and sets the stage for a downward move. Let's break down the analysis: 🧠 Pattern Insight: Double Top Reversal A Double Top is one of the most reliable trend reversal patterns, especially when it forms after a sustained uptrend — just like we're seeing here. Top 1 and Top 2 both formed inside a strong Resistance Zone between $106,500 and $107,000, showing repeated rejection from buyers to push price higher. The formation of lower highs and long wicks near Top 2 further reinforce the weakening bullish momentum. 💥 Neckline Breakdown & Bearish Trigger The Neckline, aligned with a horizontal Support Zone (~$103,300–$103,800), was decisively broken, confirming the pattern. This breakdown acts as the trigger for bearish entries, and we are now in the "Retest Phase", where price often pulls back to the neckline or a nearby trendline before continuing lower. 📐 Trendline Confluence – Retest Opportunity A short-term descending trendline drawn from Top 2 intersects near the neckline zone. Price is now approaching this confluence area, offering a potential high-probability short entry if bearish price action confirms (e.g., a rejection candle like a bearish engulfing or pin bar). 🎯 Price Targets & Trade Setup Parameter Value 📍 Entry On bearish confirmation near neckline/trendline retest (~$105,300) ❌ Stop Loss (SL) Above recent swing high / Top 2 (~$107,100) 🎯 Target ~$97,126 (based on measured move from top to neckline projection) ⚖️ Risk:Reward Approx. 1:3 or better (depending on entry timing) Measured Target Calculation: Height from neckline to peak (~$107,000 - $103,500 = $3,500) Target = Neckline break - height = ~$103,500 - $3,500 = $97,000–$97,100 🔥 Market Context & Psychological Edge This chart structure reflects a shift in market sentiment. What was once strong bullish momentum is now hesitating — with buyers failing to make higher highs and sellers stepping in aggressively. The double top is not just a pattern, it's a narrative of exhaustion and reversal. “Let price confirm your bias. Don't just predict; react to structure and behavior.” Being patient and letting the retest play out is crucial. Don’t rush in early — let the market give you a clean signal. This is where technical discipline pays off. ⚠️ Risk Management Notes Crypto markets are highly volatile — avoid oversized positions. A failed double top can lead to a bullish continuation, so SL discipline is key. Wait for confirmation — candlestick patterns, momentum shifts, or bearish volume spikes can add confidence. 📌 Summary ✅ Pattern: Double Top ✅ Confirmation: Neckline Break 🔄 Current Phase: Retesting Neckline/Trendline 📉 Bias: Bearish 🎯 Target: ~$97,100 ❗ SL: Above Top 2 💬 What do you think?

XAUUSD Double Top Breakdown & Target – Bearish Reversal in Play?In today’s analysis, we focus on Silver (XAG/USD) on the daily timeframe, which is currently presenting a high-probability bearish reversal setup. The price action has completed a Double Top pattern — a classic reversal formation — and has broken down below its neckline support, signaling a potential shift in momentum from bullish to bearish. This chart setup is particularly valuable for swing traders, pattern traders, and anyone seeking to anticipate mid-term directional moves in the commodities market. 📐 Technical Breakdown: 🔷 1. Double Top Formation: The Double Top pattern forms after a sustained uptrend and is identified by two peaks at nearly the same level. In this case: Top 1 formed near $35.5. Top 2 retested the same zone but failed to break above. The neckline support — drawn across the $28 zone — was eventually broken. This price action confirms the classic M-shaped structure, signaling distribution and potential bearish continuation. 🔷 2. Neckline and Breakdown: After failing at Top 2, price dropped below the neckline, breaking critical horizontal support. This move completed the pattern, triggering many technical sell signals. Price is now retesting the neckline zone, a common phenomenon where broken support becomes resistance (known as a "retest"). This retest offers a textbook short opportunity if bearish confirmation follows. 🔷 3. Curve Resistance: The upper curved blue line represents dynamic resistance. It has successfully capped price action across multiple attempts and aligns with the pattern's second top — enhancing the strength of this rejection area. 🧱 Support & Resistance Zones: Resistance Zone: $34.50–$35.50 Strong resistance from both peaks (Top 1 & Top 2) and historical sellers. Neckline / Retest Zone: ~$28.00 Now acting as resistance — this is the critical level to watch for rejection or breakout. Support Zones / Take-Profit Levels: TP1: ~$26.40 — aligns with recent horizontal structure and minor support. TP2: ~$22.58 — matches major historical support and measured move projection from the Double Top pattern. 📉 Measured Move Target (Pattern Projection): To calculate the target from a Double Top: Measure the height from top to neckline. Project that downward from the neckline’s breakout point. In this case: Height: ~$35.5 – $28 = $7.5 Breakdown point: $28 – $7.5 = Target near $20.5–22.5 The TP2 at $22.58 matches this logic — further validating the downside potential. 🔄 Market Psychology & Sentiment: This pattern reflects a shift in sentiment: Bulls tried and failed twice to push through resistance. The eventual breakdown shows bearish conviction, and the ongoing retest represents a decision point. If sellers hold this level, we could see a cascade of downside pressure as stops are triggered and momentum builds. 🛠️ Trade Setup & Scenarios: 📌 Scenario 1 – Bearish Continuation (High Probability): If price fails to reclaim the neckline (now resistance) and forms bearish confirmation (e.g., engulfing candle, rejection wick, breakdown below $31), this confirms a likely move toward TP1 and TP2. Entry Idea: Short on rejection from the $28–$29 zone Stop-Loss: Above $30 TP1: $26.40 TP2: $22.58 📌 Scenario 2 – Invalidated Pattern: If bulls push price back above the neckline ($29–$30 zone) with strong volume and daily close, this invalidates the setup and may lead to: Bullish continuation toward $32–$34 Possible trend resumption if curve resistance breaks 🧠 Educational Notes: Double Tops are most reliable when: Formed at the top of strong uptrends. Followed by a neckline break with volume. Retested with rejection. The retest phase is often the best risk/reward entry because: It confirms resistance. Offers clear invalidation levels. Keeps your stop tight while targeting deeper moves. 📢 Final Thoughts: Silver is currently at a critical technical juncture. The Double Top breakdown has played out, and now all eyes are on the retest. If bears defend the neckline, this setup provides a strong case for continued downside, offering a clean structure with well-defined targets. ⚠️ Risk Management is crucial — always manage your position size and respect invalidation zones.

GOLD → Correction ahead of news. Will the decline resume?FX:XAUUSD has been buying back all the losses from the Asian and Pacific sessions since the opening of the European session, but this looks more like a catapult being loaded... GOLD broke through the global consolidation base of 3200, which only confirmed the bearish market structure. Investors are waiting for PPI and retail sales data in the US, as well as Fed Chair Powell's speech. Expectations of fewer Fed rate cuts and optimism surrounding trade talks with China and South Korea continue to weigh on gold. However, weak macro data and a growing US budget deficit could revive interest in this safe-haven asset. GOLD is in a correction phase and is heading towards the zone of interest: the liquidity zone and previously broken support of global consolidation. Resistance levels: 3187-3190, 3200 Support levels: 3123, 3100 Gold may test the indicated resistance, but based on the nature of the market, this situation may end in a false breakout and a fall. Target 3123 - 3100. However, unpredictable data may temporarily change the market, which could lead to momentum towards 3220-3230. Best regards, R. Linda!

GOLD forms a DOUBLE TOP. Support 3200. Trend reversalGOLD is forming support for the double top reversal pattern A break of 3200 will confirm the market's intention to reverse the trend and go downwards. Scenario: There is a lot of important news from the US and Great Britain ahead. If the general fundamental background remains and the dollar continues its bullish trend, then we will be close to a breakdown of 3200. Thus, a break of 3200 and consolidation below the level will be a signal that we are ready to go down.

XRP/USDT I Reverse Short Squeeze Alert!

Bearish Trendline breakdown + Retest Risk Aversion Dynamics in Cryptocurrency Markets Fundamental View - How Current Affairs can effect this pair! The proposed imposition of significant tariffs, such as the 60% levy on Chinese imports suggested by former U.S. President Donald Trump, could trigger a chain reaction across global markets. This scenario would likely amplify risk aversion among investors, potentially catalyzing a sell-off in risk-sensitive assets like XRP (Ripple) in favor of perceived safe havens such as the U.S. dollar (and by extension, Tether/USDT). Below, we analyze the mechanics of this relationship and its implications for the XRP/USDT trading pair. 1. Tariff Escalation and Its Macroeconomic Consequences 1.1 Direct Impact on China’s Economy A 60% tariff on Chinese exports to the U.S. would directly reduce China’s export competitiveness, potentially lowering its GDP growth by 1.5–2.5 percentage points annually, according to UBS economists. This slowdown would exacerbate existing vulnerabilities in China’s economy, including a property market crisis, weak domestic demand, and deflationary pressures (June 2024 CPI: 0.2% YoY). Reduced economic activity in China—the world’s second-largest economy—could dampen global trade volumes and commodity prices, indirectly affecting risk sentiment in financial markets. 1.2 Global Spillover Effects The UBS analysis highlights that retaliatory measures by China or other nations could amplify trade fragmentation, further destabilizing supply chains and corporate earnings. For example, the April 2025 announcement of 25% U.S. tariffs on automotive imports triggered a 2.9% drop in the S&P 500 and a 5–7% decline in major Asian equity indices. Such volatility often precedes broader risk aversion, as investors reassess exposure to growth-dependent assets. 2. Risk Aversion Dynamics in Cryptocurrency Markets 2.1 Flight to Safety and USD Appreciation During periods of economic uncertainty, capital typically flows into safe-haven assets like U.S. Treasuries and the dollar. Tether (USDT), a stable coin pegged 1:1 to the USD, often benefits from this dynamic as crypto traders seek stability. For instance, Bitcoin’s role as a “weak safe haven” for the USD in acute crises suggests that stable coins like USDT could see increased demand during tariff-induced turmoil, while altcoins like XRP face selling pressure. 2.2 XRP’s Sensitivity to Risk Sentiment XRP, unlike Bitcoin, lacks established safe-haven credentials. Its price action in Q2 2025 exemplifies this vulnerability: a 7.5% decline over 30 days (peaking at 2.57 USDT on March 19 and bottoming at 1.64 USDT on April 7). This volatility aligns with broader patterns where altcoins underperform during risk-off periods. A global slowdown would likely intensify this trend, as retail and institutional investors reduce exposure to speculative crypto assets. 3. Mechanism: From Tariffs to XRP/USDT Price Decline 3.1 Investor Behavior in Risk-Off Environments Tariff Announcements → Equity Market Sell-Off: The April 2025 auto tariffs caused a 6–7% drop in Asian equities, signaling growing risk aversion. Liquidity Reallocation: Investors exit equities and crypto (including XRP) to hold cash or cash equivalents like USDT. USD/USDT Demand Surge: Increased demand for USD lifts USDT’s relative value, pressuring XRP/USDT downward. 3.2 Technical and Fundamental Pressure on XRP Supply-Demand Imbalance: As sellers dominate XRP markets, the token’s price in USDT terms declines. The 14.56% 90-day volatility in XRP/USDT suggests heightened sensitivity to macroeconomic shocks. Liquidity Crunch: A broader crypto market downturn could reduce trading volumes, exacerbating price swings. 4. Historical Precedents and Limitations 4.1 Bitcoin’s Mixed Performance as a Hedge While Bitcoin has shown limited safe-haven properties for the USD in short-term crises, its decoupling from altcoins like XRP during stress periods is well-documented. For example, Bitcoin’s 40% rebound post-COVID crash contrasted with XRP’s prolonged slump in 2020–2021. 4.2 Mitigating Factors Stimulus Measures: If China implements aggressive fiscal stimulus, as UBS posits, a partial recovery in risk appetite could cushion XRP’s decline. Crypto-Specific Catalysts: Regulatory clarity or Ripple-related developments (e.g., SEC case resolutions) could counteract macro-driven selling. 5. Conclusion: Bearish Outlook for XRP/USDT in Tariff Scenario In a tariff-driven slowdown, the XRP/USDT pair faces downward pressure due to: Risk Aversion: Capital rotation from crypto to stable coins. USD Strength: USDT demand surges as a proxy for dollar safety. Altcoin Underperformance: Historical precedent of XRP lagging during macro stress. People interested should monitor China’s policy response and U.S. tariff implementation timelines, as these factors will determine the severity of XRP/USDT’s downside. A breach below the April 7 low of 1.64 USDT could signal prolonged bearish momentum. This analysis synthesizes macroeconomic triggers, market psychology, and cryptocurrency-specific dynamics to outline a plausible pathway for XRP/USDT depreciation amid escalating trade tensions.

Bitcoin Double Top Signals Caution: Key Support Zones to WatchCRYPTOCAP:BTC previously formed a strong double bottom around the $74,500 level, which led to a bullish rally pushing the price up to a saturation zone near $86,000. However, current price action suggests a double top formation — a classic bearish reversal pattern. This aligns with RSI trendline rejection and signs of bearish divergence, reinforcing the bearish sentiment. The key question: Is this a correction or the start of a deeper dump? If BTC holds above $79,000, it may just be a healthy correction. A breakdown below $79,000 brings the next support near $76,000 into focus. If that fails, Bitcoin could revisit the $69,000 zone, which aligns with earlier consolidation. Traders should monitor RSI closely and watch for reaction at the support zones. Opportunities exist for both short-term scalps and long-term positions near key levels.
