US & Global Market Breakdown | Profits, Losses & Bearish TradesIn this video, I break down the current state of the US and global economy, and why I believe we’re heading into a bearish phase.
📉 Fundamentals:
I cover the key macroeconomic factors influencing the markets — including Trump’s proposed new tariffs, slowing GDP growth, and ongoing supply chain constraints. These all point toward increasing pressure on the global economy.
📊 Technical Analysis:
I go over the major indexes and highlight their recent behavior. We’ve seen reactions from resistance levels, contraction patterns forming, and a significant volume dry-up — followed by today’s spike in volume, which occurred right at resistance. These are potential signs that the market may be shifting toward a bearish trend.
That said, we could still just be witnessing a deeper pullback within a longer-term uptrend. Markets are unpredictable, and no one knows for sure — which is why it’s important to always do your due diligence.
💰 I also review the profits and losses I’ve taken on recent bullish trades, and why I’ve now positioned myself in select short opportunities based on what I’m seeing.
If I’m sharing this, it’s because I’m personally investing my capital based on my conviction — so always use your own judgment and risk management when making decisions.

XAU/USD 19-23 May 2025 Weekly AnalysisWeekly Analysis:
Swing Structure -> Bullish.
Internal Structure -> Bullish.
Analysis and bias remains the same as analysis dated 16 March 2025.
In my analysis dated 27 October 2024 I mentioned (below) that price could potentially print higher-highs in order to reposition CHoCH. This is exactly how price printed. CHoCH positioning has been brought significantly closer to current price action. CHoCH positioning is denoted with a shortened blue dotted horizontal line.
The remainder of my analysis and bias remains the same as analysis dated 09 February 2025.
Price has printed a further bullish iBOS.
Price is currently trading within an internal low and fractal high. CHoCH positioning is denoted with a blue dashed line.
Price Action Analysis:
In my analysis dated 27 October 2024, it was noted that the first sign of a pullback would be a bearish Change of Character (CHoCH), indicated by a blue dotted line. Price's consistent upward momentum had repositioned previous CHoCH much closer to recent price levels as expected for weeks. Current CHoCH positioning is quite a distance away from price, therefore, it would be viable if price continued bullish to reposition ChOCH.
Note:
It is highly unlikely price will "crash" as many analysts are predicting. My view is this is merely a corrective wave of the primary trend.
Given the Federal Reserve's dovish policy stance alongside heightened geopolitical risks, market volatility is likely to remain elevated, influencing intraday price swings.
Price could also be driven by President Trump's policies, geopolitical moves and economic decisions which are sparking uncertainty and potential repricing of Gold.
Weekly Chart:
Daily Analysis:
Swing -> Bullish.
Internal -> Bullish.
Analysis and Bias remains the same as Analysis dated 11 May 2025.
Since my last weekly analysis price has finally printed a bearish CHoCH.
This is the first indication, but not confirmation of bearish pullback phase initiation.
Price is now trading within an established internal range.
Price should now technically trade down to either discount of 50% internal EQ, or Daily demand zone before targeting weak internal high, priced at 3,500.200.
Note:
The Federal Reserve’s continued dovish stance, coupled with escalating geopolitical uncertainties, is expected to sustain elevated market volatility, influencing both intraday and broader trend developments.
Additionally, price action may be further shaped by U.S. policy decisions, including measures enacted under President Trump. Shifts in geopolitical strategy and economic policymaking could introduce further uncertainty, contributing to the ongoing repricing dynamics within the gold market.
Daily Chart:
H4 Analysis:
-> Swing: Bullish.
-> Internal: Bullish.
Analysis and bias remains the same as analysis dated 23 April 2025
Price has now printed a bearish CHoCH according to my analysis yesterday.
Price is now trading within an established internal range.
Intraday Expectation:
Price to trade down to either discount of internal 50% EQ, or H4 demand zone before targeting weak internal high priced at 3,500.200.
Note:
The Federal Reserve’s sustained dovish stance, coupled with ongoing geopolitical uncertainties, is likely to prolong heightened volatility in the gold market. Given this elevated risk environment, traders should exercise caution and recalibrate risk management strategies to navigate potential price fluctuations effectively.
Additionally, gold pricing remains sensitive to broader macroeconomic developments, including policy decisions under President Trump. Shifts in geopolitical strategy and economic directives could further amplify uncertainty, contributing to market repricing dynamics.
H4 Chart:
USDJPY: FVG Then Bullish Overflow?It has been a significant week for USD/JPY. Following a break of structure (BOS) on the 4-hour timeframe, price moved away from equilibrium, leaving behind a Fair Value Gap (FVG). As the new week begins, we may observe a false move designed to induce traders into premature short positions before a potential bullish reversal—or vice versa. Additionally, given the recent BOS, price may temporarily stall to facilitate order accumulation. Next week will be pivotal in determining the pair’s next direction.
Watch out for the key levels
XRPUSDT: Turning Bullish, Chart Signals +20% Upside PotentialHey Realistic Traders!
Is XRPUSDT Gearing Up for a Major Bull Run or Just Faking Us Out Again? Let’s Break It Down...
XRPUSDT has finally broken out of its bearish channel, and price action is holding strong above that zone. This is a solid indication that bulls are gaining control. Shortly after the breakout, a smaller falling wedge formed, which is typically a bullish continuation pattern.
What adds further interest to this setup is that the falling wedge appears to be developing during what may be Wave 4 of the Elliott Wave cycle. While Wave 4 is usually corrective, it can occasionally take the form of a wedge or triangle-like pattern. If this interpretation holds, it would suggest that a bullish Wave 5 may follow, often the final impulse leg in the trend.
Zooming into the 4-hour chart, a fresh breakout has just occurred, further strengthening the bullish case. Adding to this, the MACD has printed a golden cross, a classic momentum signal that supports the outlook for continued gains.
With all these factors aligning, the first target is set at 2.5454. A minor pullback could occur at that level before price continues its move toward the second target at 2.8535. Both targets have been calculated using Fibonacci extension levels from the current bullish wave.
This outlook remains valid as long as the price stays above the stop-loss level at 2.0355.

Bitcoin showing itself to be the STRONGEST ASSET right nowThsi is a VERY Bold statement but there is a saying that we need to understand
CHARTS NEVER LIE
This chart is the 4 hour charts of
Bitcoin - Gold
DXY $ - S&P500
There are a number of things to see here.
The First and strongest sign is simply that Bitcoin has risen over the last 36 hours alongside the $ Rising.
This in itself is a huge sign. 80% of the time, these 2 assets go in opposite directions. To me, this is showing a weakness in Faith in the $,
With Lower interest rates, less return on Holding. However, the USa will not want to see the $ drop much further and so I imagine it is being bought up to safeguard its price.
Next week, on the 13th, we have inflation figures published.
We need to watch that Closely.
The $ is currently Lower than it has been for a long time and while this can be seen as a Negative, it has also made American goods cheaper to buy to Foreign Markets, while it has increased the value of other Currencies.
Making the $ cheaper is potentially a Good idea.
At the same time, we see the Global traditional "Safe Haven" Selling off.
The Daily CFD on Gold chart above it has formed a double Top, that usualy creates a draw down.
It is also overbought on a daily after its recent pushes higher.
But more than anything, with interest rates remainiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing static, this has released pressure of investers and so Risk appetite is returning.
Again, we need to watch what happens around the 13th when USA inflation figures are released.
And then the S&P500
Overall, it has been dropping since Feb
This Daily chart shows us It made a recovery but this may not be to go to ATH again but more part of the ABC correction.
There is a possibility it could be forming an inverse Head and Shoulders...so, again, we watch
So, over all, what we see is BITCOIN taking on all the markets and making the biggest gains
It has certainly been the least volatile with Dips and Troughs shallower than the $ and S&P500 which is Stunning if you have ridden Bitcoin for the last 10 years....
Bitcoin has Matured in to a REAL Asset Class..
For me, it is NOT Crypto anymore.
.IT IS BITCOIN

AI Sector Watch – TAO Pullback OpportunityAI-related tokens are showing real strength lately, and TAO has led the charge with a series of green candles.

GBPAUD market outlookFX:GBPAUD
Price has reached and reacted off significant level of resistance zone at 2.16400, which was last seen on the 2nd of November 2015. On Friday's NY open, price created a false bullish signal with a 190 pips pin bar candle on the H1 chart. Instead, price reacted off its recent swap zone and continued its downtrend. If it breaks below 2.07720, we can anticipate a short-term continuous downtrend to the daily demand range, which is about 200 to 300 pip movement.
On the fundamentals, the Aussie dollar has recently hit a 5 year low against the USD, trading at just 60.5 US cents as the two world's largest economies have been ramping up tariffs to as high as 125%. The AUD may be impacted due to China being Australia's biggest trading partner and the trade war is only increasing uncertainty risks. On the bright side, the ASX 200 surged by 4.5% on a single day as Trump announces tariff pause, which was the highest increase in value on a single day ever since the pandemic in 2020. Both the UK and Australia have been imposed the same reciprocal tariff rates of 10%, for now, I expect a short-term downtrend before its continuation upwards, but we'll see what the coming week brings to us.

Altcoin Recovery Depends on This USDT Dominance BreakAltcoins have taken a heavy hit — many are down 60–80% from their highs.
As seen in the USDT Dominance chart, we're still respecting the rising trendline. Until this trend breaks to the downside, pressure on altcoins may continue.
Key Zone to Watch:
Once USDT.D breaks below that rising support line and sustains a move lower, we could witness a strong recovery phase across the altcoin market. That shift will likely signal renewed confidence and capital rotation into risk-on assets.
Stay patient: The breakout is brewing. When that trendline cracks, altseason could ignite fast.
Keep your watchlists ready. The reversal will reward the prepared. 🚀
