Understanding How Dark Pool Buy Side Institutions AccumulateThe SPY is the most widely traded ETF in the world. Its price or value movement reflects the S&P 500 index value. It doesn't reflect the buying or selling of the SPY. You must use volume indicators and accumulation/distribution indicators that indicate whether the Buy Side Institutions are in accumulation mode, rotation to lower inventory to buy a different ETF or other instrument, OR distribution due to mutual fund and pension fund redemption demands. ETFs are one of the fastest growing industries in the US and around the world. There are more than 4000 Exchange Traded Derivatives. There are ETDs for just about anything you might wish to invest in long term or trade short term. If you trade the SPY, it is important to study the S&P 500 index, its top 10 components, how their values are changing, and resistance and support levels. SPY will mirror the S&P 500 closely but not precisely. ETFs are built with a variety of types of investments and always have a TRUST FUND, in which the components of that ETF inventory are held. The ETF Inventory is updated and adjusted monthly or sooner as needed to maintain the integrity of the ETF price value to the value of the S&P 500 index. Rules and regulations require that the ETF SPY be closely aligned to the S&P 500. So inventory adjustments are going on regularly. When trading the SPY, you must remember that it is not buyers and sellers of the ETF that change its price. Rather, it is the S&P 500 top components' price fluctuations that change the SPY price value. This is a tough concept to accept and understand. When you do understand it and apply that knowledge to your trading of the SPY, you will be far more profitable. This takes time. You also need to develop Spatial Pattern Recognition Skills so that when a pattern appears, you can recognize it instantly and act accordingly in your trading. Today we cover the resistance levels above the current price value. That resistance is likely to slow down the rapid gains in price value over the past few weeks. The ideal would be a sideways trend to allow corporations time to adjust to the new normal of whatever tarrifs are impacting their imports and exports. Then, the S&P500 move out of that sideways trend would result in a stronger Moderately Uptrending Market Condition. Trade Wisely, Martha Stokes CMT

SMR NNE OKLO – Breakout Setup Triggered by Nuclear CatalystNYSE:SMR is lighting up after Trump’s announcement on nuclear energy — and it’s not alone. NYSE:OKLO and NASDAQ:NNE are also setting up, but NYSE:SMR has one of the cleanest breakout structures on the board. 🔹 Catalyst: Trump’s nuclear energy announcement yesterday is putting serious momentum behind the sector. 🔹 Technical Setup: NYSE:SMR is building a textbook breakout formation, with $32 as the key breakout level. 🔹 Volume & sentiment are increasing — early signs that buyers are positioning. My Trade Plan: 1️⃣ Anticipatory Entry: I’m looking to buy the first dip before the $32 breakout — getting in early with tight risk. 2️⃣ Add on Breakout: Will scale in above $32 if volume confirms. 3️⃣ Stop Loss: Just below the recent base — staying tight on risk. Why I’m Watching This Closely: Sector catalyst + technical setup = 🔥 Nuclear names have been under accumulation, and now they’ve got a narrative tailwind. First dip after a big catalyst is often the best R/R opportunity.

GOLD Price Analysis: Key Insights for Next Week Trading DecisionGold prices surged last week, ending with a strong 3.9% weekly gain, closing around the $3,365 zone after bouncing back with conviction on Friday.

Here’s what’s driving the gold market right now: 🔸 Moody’s U.S. sovereign downgrade reignited safe-haven demand 🔸 Easing U.S.–China tensions led to mid-week profit-taking 🔸 Friday’s sharp rebound (+1.7% intraday) shows bulls are still in the game 🔸 Upcoming high-impact events could shake things up again 🎯 In this analysis, I walk you through: 🔸My technical blueprint (key zones for buyers & sellers) 🔸My bullish and bearish scenarios based on the structure on the chart 🔔 Don’t forget to like the video in support of my work.

Gold at a Crossroads: Key Resistance Levels in FocusFrom the Trading Desk of InvestmentLive: Gold has struggled to sustain any meaningful downward momentum, despite our broader bearish bias on the yellow metal. After a sharp decline the week before, last week saw gold stage an even stronger recovery, pushing higher and regaining lost ground. However, this upward move was met with a significant technical barrier. Gold's rally was halted precisely at a confluence of resistance zones: the upper band of a falling channel on the weekly timeframe, intersecting with the upper band of a rising channel on the daily chart. This rare technical overlap has acted as a strong ceiling, pausing the bullish momentum for now. The chart below illustrates this confluence clearly: As seen, price action is currently squeezed between two opposing forces. A breakout above this resistance could spark a bullish continuation, while a rejection may lead to a sharp retracement—potentially all the way down to the lower boundary of the broader falling channel. How gold reacts at this level will be crucial for shaping the trading outlook for the week ahead. A decisive move in either direction could define the trend for weeks to come.

Use a Top Down Approach to gather as much CONFLUENCE as possibleAll the information you need to find a high probability trade are in front of you on the charts so build your trading decisions on 'the facts' of the chart NOT what you think or what you want to happen or even what you heard will happen. If you have enough facts telling you to trade in a certain direction and therefore enough confluence to take a trade, then this is how you will gain consistency in you trading and build confidence.

5-20-25 WARNING : Bitcoin Sets Up MASSIVE Double-Top WarningI highlighted this incredible price/technical pattern in my morning Plan Your Trade video. But, I thought it was important enough to create a separate video highlighting this incredible Double-Top warning and to try to tell all of my followers to start actively protecting capital over the next 2-3+ weeks. As much as I would like to say this won't happen (meaning some type of crisis event or global financial crisis) causing a collapse in Bitcoin (and the US/Global markets) - but I believe the continued constraints on the global markets, related to Trump's policies and attempts to reduce US govt spending) will act as a devaluation event for global economies. Think about it for a minute... 1. If the US is able to remove $500-900 Billion in fraud/waste/NGO spending (of which, a portion of that spending is dedicated to supporting global initiatives/spending), this will result in a contraction (in some form) for some global economies. 2. If the US is able to negotiate more favorable tariff rates for US goods supplied to the world (where foreign nations reduce or eliminate tariffs on US goods), this will also act as a reduction in economic income for many foreign nations. 3. These combined and continued efforts to restructure the US economy into a strong and more dynamic global economic driver (more fairly balanced in terms of global trade) will come at the expense of breaking away from what has traditionally been untouched. This breaking of the past, in terms of what nations expected related to US spending and tariffs on US Goods, may represent a 15-25% (or more) contraction in foreign economic activity. If this disruption from "what was normal" results in the US Fed, or global central banks, taking emergency measures to address short-falls in their economies, this could prompt a series of events that could result in a broad devaluation type of event (very similar to what happened after COVID in 2022-2023). That event was prompted by the US Fed raising rates trying to stop inflation. This event could be the result of slower/lower economic outputs/expectations related to the changing tariff rates and the reduction in US spending throughout the world. Central Banks and regional governments may attempt to provide some type of capital stimulus to transition through this phase - but I see that as "building a bigger bubble - just waiting to pop". The smart move for global central banks is to follow the US's lead and start to move towards more austerity/accountability regarding their own economies/spending and attempt to let the devaluation price phase play out. Either way, time will tell if I'm correct or not. You have been warned. IMO, you have about 3-6 weeks before BTCUSD potentially tops and may roll into a very strong breakdown phase.

Golden Cross? No Thanks!! Here’s How to Get In Early.📉 “Golden Cross? No Thanks. Here’s How to Get In Early.” By FXProfessor Everyone’s hyped about the Golden Cross again... 📰 “Bullish Signal!” 📈 “50 SMA crossed the 200!” 🎉 “Party time!” Let me stop you right there. If you’re waiting for that cross to go long — You’re not late. You’re definitely late. The Golden Cross is a lagging indication. It’s the afterparty. The smart money already had the drinks and left. 🔍 Here's the deal: ✅ Golden Cross forms after the move ✅ Price is usually already up double digits ✅ Sometimes it triggers right before a top ✅ Even EMAs (which I prefer) are still confirmation tools ✅ The real edge? Structure. Trendlines. Pressure zones. 📊 What I use instead: -Custom EMAs that react faster -My signature parallelogram method for early pressure -Focus on trendlines and structure -Above all — logic, not hype - Fundamentals first! For example, while the Golden Cross just printed, I was already watching $74,394 and $79,000. Why? Because pressure builds before indicators react. That's where the best entries live. So next time someone posts “Golden Cross confirmed!” 😏 Just smile and remember: By the time the cross lights up, I’m already halfway to the next target. Use EMAs if you like. But structure comes first. That’s where the party starts. One Love, The FXProfessor 🧠📈 Disclosure: I am happy to be part of the Trade Nation's Influencer program and receive a monthly fee for using their TradingView charts in my analysis. Awesome people who care about the TRADER FIRST!

GOLD - Bullish Trend Continuation w/ Bat Pattern & Complex PBGold has been on a tear for sometime now & well, you know what they say, all good things must come to an end. In saying end, we don't necessarily mean a forever end, but perhaps sometimes a break. After failing to make a new high, it seems like Gold has reached it's excess or exhaustion phase & is beginning to show signs of relief. If this relief were to continue, not only do we have a good structure level to look for buys at, but it's also accompanied with a potential bullish bat pattern. Please leave any questions or comments below & if you'd like to share your views from either a fundamental or technical perspective, please do so as I love the conversation. Akil

Will the USD Bears come back? Stock Market just pulling back?In this video I go over the EUR/USD, GBP/USD and USD/JPY. Will the USD bears come pouring back in or give up the previous low on the EUR/USD... Some markers I'm watching is a "hidden" divergence on the MACD and it's potential signal for continued bullish strength for the EUR/USD, especially with the U.S. credit rating getting lowered by Moodys. I'm also watching for a potential reversal to the stock market's massive rally the last couple of weeks. Is this a true reversal or just a major pullback in the grand scheme of things? The last 2 weeks of May will be interesting to watch develop. As always, Good Luck & Trade Safe.

Summary of S&P 500 and some of the stock I'm invested inThis is my first video on TradingView, where I’m sharing insights on my current trades, how they're performing, and some key lessons from recent mistakes that I need to address moving forward. Quick Summary: S&P 500 is starting to look overextended, increasing the likelihood of a pullback. This isn’t the ideal time to jump into new trades. Instead, I’m waiting for a pullback to the 10 EMA, which could offer better entry opportunities. Exelixis (EXEL) turned out to be a fantastic trade, with a strong move upward. After such momentum, it's wise to expect a pullback. I'm letting the stock breathe, with the goal of possibly catching the next leg up. I also reviewed a few other trades and highlighted some stocks that are on my watchlist. Right now, I’m letting the market unfold naturally and looking for clear setups before entering again. Trading is a game of patience and positioning—it's not about forcing trades, but about waiting for the right ones.
