GOLD → The bulls kept the market from falling. Emphasis on 2431FX:XAUUSD is working out the range support and realizing the potential of the pattern "symmetrical triangle" in a bullish direction. On H1-H4 the market is in a sideways range, locally we are dealing with a bullish trend.
There is no news today. Technically, a bullish market is developing. Global trend is upward, local trend is neutral with bullish prerequisites.
The price is squeezed between the resistance at 2431, which is the key resistance. A breakdown and consolidation above this zone will open a huge potential for the market.
On H1, consolidation is forming above the support at 2418, a retest and liquidity capture is possible before further growth, as the bullish potential (locally) is not exhausted yet and the upward movement can be continued, but after a small correction. The market is perfectly working the lower boundary of the range 2369 and now considers the upper boundary 2477 as a potential....
Resistance Levels: 2431
Support levels: 2418, 2407, 2402
Emphasis on these levels. Most likely MM may test the support before the subsequent rise. But the primary retest of 2431 may give a small correction before the breakout and impulse to the mentioned targets.

Weekly Recap & Market Forecast $SPX (Aug 11th—> Aug 16th)**DIYWallST Weekly Recap & Market Forecast**
---
Hello Investors! 🌟 This week began with a flash of panic reminiscent of 1987’s Black Monday, but by week’s end, markets had regained some stability. Let’s explore the key events that shaped this volatile week in the markets. 📈
**Market Overview:**
Trading opened with a sense of deja vu as investors confronted fears of a "Black Monday" scenario. A mix of factors—including fears of a forced unwind of the Japanese Yen carry trade and growing concerns that the Fed is behind the curve—triggered a full-blown panic in global financial markets. The VIX skyrocketed nearly 165% to $65, and the Nikkei plunged about 15% on Monday. Warren Buffett’s decision to sell half his Apple stake and raise cash further rattled investors. Safe-haven flows surged into Treasuries, sending yields plummeting, while the Yen and Swiss Franc strengthened. Nearly all other asset classes, including gold and bitcoin, faced significant pressure as investors rushed to raise cash. The US yield curve briefly tested positive territory in the 2-10 year spread for the first time in about two years, and S&P futures tested the 200-day moving average. Fed fund futures markets quickly began pricing in a potential 50 basis point rate cut in September.
However, by the time the New York markets opened on Monday, the VIX had already pulled back from its pre-market highs, and stocks began to recover some losses. The NASDAQ composite tested but ultimately held its 200-day moving average. Treasury yields began to rise again, and the yield curve re-inverted. By midweek, fears surrounding the Yen carry trade had eased after a BOJ official indicated they would not continue raising rates during market instability. The whipsaw recovery continued after a stronger-than-expected weekly US initial jobless claims report, which fueled debate on whether the market had found a bottom. The US 10-year yield climbed back to 4% after disappointing 10-year and 30-year coupon sales. Oil prices rose again as markets awaited Iran's response to the assassination in Tehran last week. By the end of a turbulent week, the S&P slipped less than 0.1%, the DJIA shed 0.6%, and the Nasdaq fell 0.2%.
**Stock Market Performance:**
- 📉 S&P 500: Down by less than 0.1%
- 📉 Dow Jones: Down by 0.6%
- 📉 NASDAQ: Down by 0.2%
**Economic Indicators:**
- **VIX:** Skyrocketed nearly 165% to 65, reflecting heightened market volatility.
- **US Yield Curve:** Briefly tested positive territory in the 2-10 year spread before re-inverting.
- **US Initial Jobless Claims:** Came in stronger than expected, fueling optimism about the labor market and contributing to the market's recovery.
- **Treasury Yields:** The US 10-year yield climbed back to 4% by week’s end after disappointing Treasury sales.
- **Oil Prices:** Continued to rise amid ongoing tensions between Israel and Iran.
**Corporate News:**
- **Nvidia:** Faced headwinds after reports suggested the launch of its cutting-edge Blackwell chip would be delayed by a few months due to design issues. This was confirmed by Nvidia supplier SuperMicro during its earnings call, where they reported strong revenue but weakening margins, sending their shares sharply lower.
- **AI Trade:** Continued to unwind as questions lingered about the immediate impact of AI on the broader economy.
- **Disney:** Beat earnings expectations and raised guidance despite acknowledging economic uncertainty’s impact on consumers. The company also announced price hikes for its streaming services.
- **Airbnb and Hilton:** Both guided lower as vacationers tightened their belts ahead of a potential recession, signaling a challenging environment for the travel industry.
- **Lyft:** Reported its first-ever profitable quarter but missed estimates and provided weak guidance, contrasting with rival Uber, which reported more robust results.
**Looking Ahead:**
This week will bring several key economic data releases and earnings reports:
- **U.S. CPI Data**
- **U.S. PPI Data**
- **U.S. Retail Sales**
- **Earnings Reports:** Walmart ( NYSE:WMT ), Home Depot ( NYSE:HD ), Cisco ( NASDAQ:CSCO ), Alibaba ( NYSE:BABA )
- **13F Filings:** Expect insights into the latest moves by major investors.
As we look ahead, these developments will be crucial in shaping market sentiment and guiding investment decisions. If you have any questions or need further insights, feel free to reach out. Here’s to another week of informed investing and strategic decision-making! 🌟
Buy Gold (Xau/Usd) Channel BreakoutThe XAU/USD pair on the M30 timeframe presents a potential Buying opportunity due to a recent downward breakout from a well-defined Channel pattern. This suggests a shift in momentum towards the Upside in the coming Hours.

Target Levels:
1st Support – 2470
2nd Support – 2500
Stop-Loss: To manage risk, place a stop-loss order below 2362. This helps limit potential losses if the price unexpectedly reverses and breaks back upwards.

XAUUSD 11/8/24Following up on gold this week, we have an area of demand relatively close to the current price action, near where it ended last week. We believe this area could be tested, and if so, we’ll look for either a decisive push back up or a failure. We are strongly bullish on gold and believe it is likely to run higher, aligning with the institutional liquidity moving in the form of trendline liquidity. We could see a sell-off near the high to encourage sellers to place their stops above it. Overall, we expect the high to be breached. If we don’t reach this high and instead pull back lower, we will look for buying opportunities near the lower end of the overall range, just below the low established on Thursday, the 25th. This level holds significant liquidity, so it could be targeted. Our main focus is for the price to shift into the bullish narrative that we recognize on the higher time frame. We’re simply waiting for the price to show us what it wants to do.
Trade your plan, follow your risk management, and always trade based on what price shows you, not on what you want it to do.
EURUSD 11/8/24This week in EUR/USD, we have liquidity placed above our highs in a bullish range. Last week, we played bearish within price action, ultimately putting in these highs to form liquidity. Based on this, we could run the liquidity coming into this week, or we may drop further into the range. We have met the 50% level of the range, so there is sufficient liquidity behind price to shift it higher.
Now, of course, we have some fundamentals coming up this week, so price may shift accordingly. Overall, we are looking for price action to run the highs as we remain bullish, with fundamentals favoring dollar weakness. This leads us to believe that this scenario could play out. There is a hotspot within this liquidity, marked by our golden line, where price may react to sell back for a deeper retrace or blast through and take the high.
We have a very clear area of demand at the base of our range. If we drop lower, we can look for that area to react. The main point is to follow what price is actually showing you, rather than what we want to see.
Trade safe and follow your plan.
DXY: Recessionary Environment And Potential Upsides.Hey Traders, in tomorrow's trading session we are monitoring DXY for a buying opportunity around 102.900, DXY is trading in an uptrend and currently is in a correction phase in which it is approaching the trend at 102.900 support and resistance area.
I highly recommend taking a look at DXY at the beginning of every trading week if not everyday, that will help you to trade USD pairs properly and also spot the correlations with Stocks, Indices, Metals and Cryptocurrencies.
Trade safe, Joe.
How R2F Frames Trades Using ICT ConceptsHere I use USDJPY to illustrate how I would perform a top-down analysis in order to visualize the PD Array Matrix, and thus frame possible trades.
I have 2 perspectives. From a candle science approach, and a price action approach.
Ideally, I do not want to go lower than a 4h timeframe for my candle science perspective.
I hope the video is insightful.

DXY Shorts from the daily supply at 104.200 back down.The dollar has broken significant structure to the downside, leaving a clean, unmitigated daily supply zone with an imbalance that adds validity to this point of interest. Once price reaches this level, I'll likely refine the zone and wait for a CHOCH on the lower timeframe.
If price moves down first, I’ll watch for it to enter the newly created 3-hour demand zone, which swept previous higher-timeframe structure. This could propel the dollar up to the supply zone.
Confluences for DXY Shorts:
Strong bearish momentum on the higher timeframe, breaking previous structure.
Significant liquidity to the downside.
A solid daily supply zone caused this move, with an imbalance below.
This pro-trend trade aligns with my other pairs.
P.S. I expect Monday to start slow, with consolidation before either zone is mitigated. We'll make our move from there.
R2F Weekly Analysis -10th August 2024 (ICT Concepts)Welcome to another R2F Weekly Market Analysis using ICT Concepts along with my own discoveries. I'm going to go through various assets/markets, and give a real-time view of how I perform my analysis on the weekends. I'll give my take on what has been happening, and what I'm expecting in either the coming days, weeks, or months. Without further ado, let's get into it!

DXY IdeaRegarding my BTC/USD and EUR/USD trades, we’re keeping a close eye on the Dollar Index (DXY). The recent price action has been confusing, but we are currently rejecting last Friday’s heavy selling area. This keeps us within a bearish range, and we’re anticipating a potential market shift to the downside.
If this bearish scenario unfolds, we plan to let our EUR/USD trades run over the weekend. Let’s keep observing how this plays out.
Stay focused, and let's see where the market takes us.
GOLD SHORT TO $1,964 (4H UPDATE)Gold is currently sitting at a very crucial point which'll determine its next big move. If price slows down now & sellers come in with an IMPULSIVE MOVE, we can be reassured that price will carry on down in the mid term. But, if buyers push price higher in the current zone, it's likely we will see $2,500+ in the coming weeks.
Either way, those who followed this analysis, had the opportunity of cashing into short term buy's🤙🏽
DXY Is Very Bullish! Long!
Take a look at our analysis for DXY.
Time Frame: 2h
Current Trend: Bullish
Sentiment: Oversold (based on 7-period RSI)
Forecast: Bullish
The market is trading around a solid horizontal structure 103.137.
The above observations make me that the market will inevitably achieve 103.549 level.
P.S
Please, note that an oversold/overbought condition can last for a long time, and therefore being oversold/overbought doesn't mean a price rally will come soon, or at all.

GOLD → What is the problem with a SYMMETRICAL TRIANGLE ► ?FX:XAUUSD is still trading inside the flat 2420 - 2370 forming a symmetrical triangle. Traders continue to struggle for the area of 2400. News ahead...
I understand that you don't like it when there is no clear direction on the chart, but there are nuances here and in some cases you need to have both bullish and bearish scenarios. Let's break it down...
On D1 there is a rather encouraging situation indicating how the bulls continue to hold the support of the global trend.
The issue of aggressive easing of the US Fed policy is still relevant. Likewise, speculators are closely watching developments around Iran's attack on Israel. If it happens, it is likely to give additional impetus to the growth of gold prices. Meanwhile, Initial Jobless Claims of the USA may provide short-term potential for the markets.
Technically, gold is forming a symmetrical triangle on H1. The bearish pressure is still present in the market. Gold is not technical now, but depends on fundamental nuances.
Resistance levels: 2400
Support levels: 2380
The problem with a symmetrical triangle is that no one knows where the price will go until the actual exit. Globally we have a bull market, locally there is pressure from the bears. There is a high probability of a breakout of the symmetrical triangle support and a decline to 2364-2351, but if the economic factor has a bullish effect on the market, gold may continue to test 2400 with the goal of a breakout and a rise to 2420.

US dollar market trendYesterday, the deputy governor of the Bank of Japan said that "the market is unstable and there will be no interest rate hikes". This is a relatively "dovish" statement. In addition, the upcoming September interest rate cut conveys a good opportunity to enter the market.
That is, the US dollar will still fall. Although the market is narrow today, the US dollar continued to rise at the end of the trading day, but it should not last long.
Personal analysis: looking for high points and shorting
GOLD SHORT TO $1,964 (12H UPDATE):Pinpoint, 100% accuracy with our Gold analysis!😍 Price action has been following my arrow just as I indicated, pushed up 1,000+ PIPS from the bottom & now rejected off our supply zone as I said would happen. Down 240 PIPS in profit, after rejecting our supply zone.
If you missed this move despite me updating you all live every few days, because you were scared of taking the trade & losing money, the financial markets probably aren't the place for you to be🤷
GOLD SHORT TO $1,964 (4H VIEW)Here is my 4H view on Gold, showing my short-mid term bias;
1. Currently I am expecting a small push up into $2,420 - $2,430 so market can grab liquidity before dropping back down again.
2. Gold has bottomed here & will now make its next bull run towards the $2,500 zone, marking the formation of Wave Y & Wave 5. This'll then be followed by a corrective move down.
BoJ shows uncertainty, Yen WeakensThe BoJ indicated that it was not ready to hike rates further if the market continues with volatility
On release of the news, the Yen weakened, with the USDJPY rising to test the 148 price area
look for a potential breakout to the 149.50 price level as further yen weakness is anticipated
EURO at an interesting levelThe euro is deciding its next big move, while some upside could be likely if it breaks above the 1.0925 price level, it would be interesting if the EURUSD breaks below the 1.0890 price level
This would complete the head and shoulder pattern, breaking the neckline which coincides with the 50% Fibonacci retracement level
