FLAG AND POOL PATTERN - XAUUSDXAUUSD 📊 Price Summary: Low: 2951 High: 3498 Current Price (as of 3 May 2025): 3240 Pattern Identified: Flag and Pole, with potential breakout Possible Pullback: To around 3175 before breakout 🧠 Technical Analysis View: The flag and pole is a bullish continuation pattern, especially when the prior trend (the "pole") is steep and strong — which it is in this case (2951 → 3498). A pullback to 3175 would represent a healthy retracement (~50% of the flag range), allowing the market to reset before a potential breakout. 🔍 Key Levels to Watch: Support zone: 3175 – 3200 (watch for rejection or consolidation here) Resistance (breakout zone): ~3255–3275 (if broken with volume, confirms breakout) Target after breakout: Measured move projection = Height of pole (~547 pts) → 3498 + 547 ≈ ~4045 (longer-term target if clean breakout) Conservative target: 3350–3450 area ⚠️ Risks: If 3175 breaks down with volume, pattern might fail — watch next support near 3120–3100. Gold often reacts to macroeconomic events, USD strength, and interest rates, so keep fundamentals in mind.

NFP market, looking for opportunities to short goldFundamentals: Mainly focus on today's NFP market; Technical aspects: Gold rebounded near 3200 and has gradually rebounded to around 3265. This wave of rebound is not surprising. After all, I have been insisting on short-term long gold since yesterday, and I have also gained a good profit. As gold falls and breaks through many key supports, my expectations for the magnitude of this rebound are not high. In the short term, it will first face resistance in the 3270-3275 area, and secondly, it will face resistance in the 3285-3295 area. Moreover, the rebound and rise of gold before the NFP market is very confusing in itself. It is not ruled out that it is to pave the way for the sharp drop in the NFP market. Once gold falls again, it is likely to fall below 3200 and continue to around 3180. Trading strategy: 1. Consider shorting gold when it rebounds to 3270-3280, TP: 3240-3230; 2. Consider continuing to short gold when it rebounds to 3280-3290, TP is the same as above.

Gold Technical Update (4H Time Frame) / Gold BullishAs we mentioned last week, gold was consolidating on the 4H time frame. After the breakout, all our projected targets were successfully achieved as of yesterday. Currently, gold is forming a bullish flag pattern on the 4H chart — a continuation pattern that often signals the potential for further upside. If gold sustains above the 3275–3280 zone, we may see renewed bullish momentum with the following potential targets: Target 1: 3300 Target 2: 3340 Target 3: 3360 Target 4: 3400 ⚠️ This is a technical analysis-based outlook. Traders are advised to manage their positions with proper risk-reward strategies and stay updated with market developments.

Mastering chart patterns - How to use them in trading!Chart patterns are visual formations created by the price movements of a financial asset—like a stock, currency, or cryptocurrency, on a price chart. Traders use these patterns in technical analysis to predict future market direction based on historical behavior. The main chart patterns are the reversal and continuation patterns. ------------------------------- What will we discuss? - Bullish reversal patterns - Bearish reversal patterns - Bullish continuation patterns - Bearish continuation patterns ------------------------------- Bullish reversal patterns: Double bottom A double bottom in trading is a bullish reversal pattern that signals the potential end of a downtrend and the beginning of an uptrend. It forms when the price of an asset falls to a low, bounces back up, then drops again to roughly the same low before rising once more. This creates a "W" shape on the chart. How to trade it: Before entering a trade, wait for the price to break back above the neckline with strong volume, as this indicates a potential bullish reversal. Once the breakout is confirmed, look for an entry on the pullback to the neckline. Inverted head and shoulders An inverted head and shoulders is a bullish reversal pattern that typically forms after a downtrend and signals a possible shift to an uptrend. It consists of three parts: * The left shoulder, where the price makes a low and then bounces. * The head, which is a deeper low followed by another bounce. * The right shoulder, a higher low similar in level to the left shoulder. How to trade it: Before entering a trade, wait for the price to break above the neckline with strong volume, as this confirms the pattern and signals a potential upward move. After the breakout, it's important to wait for a retest of the neckline to look for an entry. Traders typically place a stop-loss just below the right shoulder to manage risk. Falling wedge A falling wedge is a bullish chart pattern that often signals a potential reversal or continuation of an uptrend, depending on where it forms in a price trend. It appears when the price is moving lower but within a narrowing range, creating two downward-sloping, converging trendlines. Both the highs and lows are falling, but the lower highs are coming down faster than the lower lows, which shows that selling pressure is losing strength over time. How to trade it: Wait for the falling wedge to break above the downward trendline and for the price to reclaim the most recent lower high. A breakout alone isn’t always reliable, sometimes the price moves briefly above the trendline without making a higher high, resulting in a fake-out. To confirm the move, wait for a clear higher high and then look to enter on the retracement that follows. ------------------------------- Bearish reversal patterns Double top A double top is a bearish reversal pattern that signals a potential shift from an uptrend to a downtrend. It forms when the price reaches a high, pulls back, then rallies again to the same or similar high but fails to break above it. This creates an "M" shape on the chart. The neckline is the support level at the low point between the two peaks. When the price breaks below this neckline with strong volume, it confirms the pattern and suggests that selling pressure is taking over. How to trade it:
Before entering a trade, wait for the price to break below the neckline with strong volume, as this indicates a potential bearish reversal. Once the breakout is confirmed, look for an entry on the pullback to the neckline. Head and shoulders A head and shoulders is a bearish reversal pattern that typically forms after an uptrend and signals a potential shift to a downtrend. It consists of three peaks: * The left shoulder, where the price rises and then falls. * The head, which is a higher peak followed by another decline. * The right shoulder, a lower high that is roughly equal in height to the left shoulder. How to trade it: Before entering a trade, wait for the price to break below the neckline with strong volume, as this confirms the pattern and signals a potential downside move, After the breakout, it’s important to wait for a retest of the neckline to look for an entry. Traders typically place a stop-loss just above the right shoulder to manage risk Rising wedge A rising wedge is a bearish chart pattern that often signals a potential reversal or continuation of an downtrend, depending on where it forms in a price trend. It appears when the price is moving higher but within a narrowing range, creating two upward-sloping, converging trendlines. Both the highs and lows are rising, but the highs are increasing at a faster rate than the lows. This suggests that buying pressure is weakening over time, and the market may be preparing for a downturn. How to trade it: Wait for the rising wedge to break below the upsloping trendline and for the price to reclaim the most recent high low. A breakout alone isn’t always reliable, sometimes the price moves briefly below the trendline without making a lower low, resulting in a fake-out. To confirm the move, wait for a clear lower low and then look to enter on the retracement that follows. ------------------------------- Bullish continuation patterns Bullflag A bull flag is a continuation pattern that signals the potential for a price to continue moving upward after a brief consolidation or pullback. It forms when the price experiences a strong upward move (the flagpole), followed by a period of consolidation or a slight downward movement (the flag). The flag typically slopes downward or moves sideways, and the consolidation phase usually occurs within two parallel trendlines, creating a rectangle or slight downward channel. How to trade it? Before entering a position, wait for the price to break above the downsloping trendline and establish a higher high. If the price doesn’t make a higher high, it could be a fake-out. Once a higher high is confirmed, look for an entry on the retracement. The target is typically the length of the flagpole projected upward from the breakout point. Bullish pennant A bullish pennant is a continuation pattern that indicates the potential for a price to continue its upward trend after a brief consolidation. It forms when a strong upward move (the flagpole) is followed by a period of consolidation, where the price moves within converging trendlines, creating a small symmetrical triangle or pennant shape. The consolidation typically shows lower highs and higher lows, and the pattern suggests that the market is taking a "breather" before continuing its upward momentum. How to trade it? Before entering a position, wait for the price to break above the downsloping trendline and establish a higher high. If the price doesn’t make a higher high, it could be a fake-out. Once a higher high is confirmed, look for an entry on the retracement. The target is typically the length of the flagpole projected upward form the breakout point. Ascending triangle An ascending triangle is a bullish continuation pattern that typically forms during an uptrend, signaling that the price is likely to continue moving higher. It is characterized by a horizontal resistance line at the top, formed by a series of peaks at roughly the same price level, and an ascending support line at the bottom, formed by higher lows. This creates a triangle shape, where the price is gradually compressing between the horizontal resistance and the rising support. How to trade it? Before entering a position, wait for the price to break above the horizontal resistance level with strong volume. Once the breakout occurs, look for an entry on the retracement back to this area. ------------------------------- Bearish continuation patterns Bearflag A bear flag is a bearish continuation pattern that suggests the price is likely to continue moving downward after a brief consolidation or upward pullback. It forms when there is a strong downward move (the flagpole), followed by a period of consolidation or slight upward movement (the flag). The flag typically slopes upward or moves sideways, and the consolidation occurs within two parallel trendlines, creating a rectangular or upward-sloping channel. This pattern shows that, despite the short-term pullback, the overall downtrend remains intact. How to trade it? Before entering a position, wait for the price to break below the upsloping trendline and establish a lower low. If the price doesn’t make a lower low, it could be a fake-out. Once a lower low is confirmed, look for an entry on the retracement. The target is typically the length of the flagpole projected downward for the breakout point. Bearish pennant A bearish pennant is a bearish continuation pattern that signals a potential continuation of a downtrend after a brief consolidation. It forms when there is a strong downward move (the flagpole), followed by a period of consolidation where the price moves within converging trendlines, creating a small symmetrical triangle or pennant shape. The consolidation typically shows lower highs and higher lows, indicating that the price is taking a pause before continuing its downward movement. How to trade it? Before entering a position, wait for the price to break below the upsloping trendline and establish a lower low. If the price doesn’t make a lower low, it could be a fake-out. Once a lower low is confirmed, look for an entry on the retracement. The target is typically the length of the flagpole projected downward for the breakout point. Descending triangle A descending triangle is a bearish continuation pattern that typically forms during a downtrend, indicating that the price is likely to continue moving lower after a period of consolidation. The pattern is characterized by a horizontal support line at the bottom, formed by a series of lows at approximately the same price level, and a descending resistance line at the top, formed by a series of lower highs. The price contracts between these two trendlines, creating a triangle shape with a downward-sloping upper boundary and a flat lower boundary. How to trade it? Before entering a position, wait for the price to break below the horizontal support level with strong volume. Once the breakout occurs, look for an entry on the retracement back to this area. ------------------------------- Thanks for your support. - Make sure to follow me so you don't miss out on the next analysis! - Drop a like and leave a comment!

ETHUSD – Breaker Block Rejection in Play?Ethereum has been consolidating in a rising channel after failing to break below the 1754 support zone for weeks. Yesterday, price tapped into the 1854 resistance — which also aligns with a bearish breaker block — but failed to close above, showing two strong rejections so far. Current Observation: The 1854 level is holding up as resistance, and the most recent candles show weakness at that zone. If price fails to break and close above it, we could see a move back down toward the 1687–1694 support area. What I'm Watching: – A confirmed close below the breaker block zone around 1854 could trigger a short setup, with 1754 as the first target. – If 1754 breaks, I’ll be eyeing the next zone between 1686.8 and 1694.1 for a potential take-profit zone or reaction. Key Levels: – Resistance: 1854 → 1881 – Support: 1754 → 1694 → 1687 If 1854 continues to reject price, I’ll be looking to go short on confirmation, targeting a drop back into the lower support zones. But if we get a strong close above 1854, I’ll reassess for possible upside continuation. Let’s see how it reacts. Trade safe. pClem Trades

Telusdt Buy opportunitySpotted a potential ascending formation with price currently developing a mini bullish flag. This structure suggests an underlying accumulation phase ahead of a potential breakout. The strategic focus is the Buy Back Zone, a key area for strong accumulation entries. Targets are clearly mapped on the chart, with 0.009896 as the first short-term objective, followed by 0.061317. The final critical area to monitor is the Crucial Resistance Zone, acting as the neckline of the entire setup—its breakout will confirm a long-term structural shift. Watching closely for sustained momentum.

$TOTAL Crypto Market Cap BULL TRAP AlertBULL TRAP 🚨 New money has been coming into the market as shown on the Crypto CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL Market Cap, hence why you haven’t seen “rotations” in coins, but it appears to be drying up. There’s been major resistance at the 200DMA, which is just below the previous ATH at $3T, and PA is being squeezed between the 9DMA. Combine this with a heated RSI, it appears to be a bear flag in the making. The trendline from Oct. ’23 gives confluence with the 50DMA as support. *The only savior I see at this point is price smashing through the 200DMA and flipping support into the green accumulation box. Regardless, this move is coming to an end later this week to test support or breakout. Again, I’ll reconfirm my stance that this is the most obvious bull trap I’ve seen all cycle. Although I hope to be wrong 🥲 Having said that, after support is confirmed on the move, we are going to VALHALLA 🚀 Bookmark this 🤓

S (EX FTM) Update (4H)Like many other altcoins, S has formed an Inverse Head and Shoulders pattern, signaling a potential trend reversal. Additionally, a bullish flag formation has broken out on the lower timeframes, further confirming the upward momentum. The current price structure appears suitable for long positions, especially with confluence from multiple technical signals. A conservative target lies around the $0.64 level, based on the measured move projections from the flag and neckline breakouts. — Thanks for reading.

Thorchain (RUNE) about to go 1100%?Dearest reader, Welcome back for yet another great analysis, there is alot to unpack on the chart above so lets dive right in. Thorchain has seen a brutal crash/retrace of a whopping 87% since december regarding their financial situation around the thorfi hack. There is always something right? Ignore the FUD and look at the chart, it's screaming ''buy buy buy!'' Lets go through the chart from left to right. 1. Lower support line, has seen 5 confirmations so far, dating back all the way to 2020 (Small 1's) 2. Bullflag. Has seen 6 confirmations of this channel (green circles) and had a breakout in november 2023 3. Retest of BOTH 1 and 2, the upper line of the bullflag and also the support line since 2020 4. Stochastic RSI is oversold, sellers are exhausted, makes sense! it has seen a 87% drop allready. MFI has seen the lowest point in the history of this token (17) and has been moving back up. Note: Stochastic RSI is a lagging indicator and MFI is forward looking. Both look bullish If the pattern from 2020 would repeat that could mean that by august this year we will see a price of 11 dollars yet again, that's a whopping 1100% from this point. Target: 11/12$ Entry: 1$ Stoploss: 0.75$ (There is some support here, so even when this area is hit it might still bounce up. ~Rustle

Total 3, do flags point to the target area?Welcome back dearest reader, Today i have a very interesting analysis for you, quite some valuable time was put into this. What i've noticed is the following: -From april 2021 untill july 2021 total 3 has been trading in a bullish wedge flag, when we continue the lines on the full candle bodies the apex pointed to the top of that flag durationwise -August 2022 till october 2023, extend the trendlines, apex march 2024, look up. Oh. -March 2024, october 2024 --> apex december 2024, look up. Oh. Now: -January 2025, april/may 2025, apex june 2025, look up. Oh. -I used the fractal from july 2021 as i think we're in this period -Upward sloping channel from october 2022 untill now could provide insights as to what the target price might be, HH and HL Target: 1.5T Also check out my BTC.D idea, these would coincide perfectly ~Rustle Is it certain this will happen? No-one has a glass ball, all we have are patterns based on past performance, this is no guarantee. But it does look good.
