Priceaction

Gold Price Analysis October 4Fundamental Analysis Gold (XAU/USD) attracted some buyers on Friday and rose to $2,668, or the top of its weekly range heading into the European session. The US dollar (USD) eased slightly from a one-month high hit on Thursday and now appears to have stalled this week’s decent recovery from its lowest since July 2023. This, coupled with geopolitical risks stemming from ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, turned out to be the main factors driving some haven flows into the precious metal. That said, the diminishing likelihood of a more aggressive Federal Reserve (Fed) easing policy should help limit any meaningful decline in the USD and limit upside for non-yielding Gold. Traders may also prefer to wait for the closely watched US monthly employment data release before positioning for the next leg of a directional move. However, XAU/USD remains close to the all-time highs reached last week and the fundamental backdrop appears to be tilted heavily towards bullish traders. Technical Analysis Gold has responded to technical support on the trendline and is likely to trade within a narrow range pending NFP. 2671 and 2643 remain key areas to watch before price moves towards today’s SELL entry around 2678-2680 and BUY entry around 2635 and 2633. Now if price fails to break the key area like 2670 before mid-European session, we may sell ahead of the NF news and try to hold the position to the support areas.

Your signal will be a breakout of its horizontal neckline - an hourly candle close below 73.46. Short the market aggressively or on a retest, then. Targets: 73.07 / 72.85 Alternatively, a bullish violation of a trend line will be a strong bullish signal. ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️

2024-10-03 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr dax - Look at the xetra 1h chart because it’s clearer there than on futures. 4 legs down and we have not touched the 1h 20ema on xetra since Tuesday. Strong follow through selling and there is an open gap down to 18928. Since we are seeing continues episodes of buying, I do expect this gap to get closed on a spike and we might go neutral or green into the weekend. We are right at the bull trend line from beginning of August and I highly doubt it will get broken on the second touch. comment : Clear picture on the xetra chart. Close enough to the bull trend line to expect a big bounce upwards to 19200 or higher. If bears win this, next good support is 18800ish. I favor the bulls if they break strongly above the 1h 20ema tomorrow. current market cycle: bull trend (big trend line is currently at 18950 on xetra) key levels: 19000 - 20000 bull case: Bulls are trying and buying in between the bear legs and one side will give up for a bigger move soon. Since this is the second touch of the bull trend line from early August, I have to favor the bulls. Their first target is a 1h bar close above 19100 and if the move is strong enough, we see more bears giving up and they will probably wait before shorting again higher. Second target is 19200 (50% pullback). Invalidation is below 18800. bear case: Bears continue to sell every rip near the 1h 20ema but the selling is getting weaker and they barely made new lows today. It’s either go big or go home for the bears. Strong break below the bull trend line 18900 is their only option or give up and try to short higher (19200 or wait for 19500). Invalidation is above 19150. short term: Neutral again at 19000. Big round number, should be huge support and my bias is bullish for tomorrow. medium-long term - Update from 2024-09-01: 4 Months left in 2024 and I do think the market is in a trading range where the upper area is around 19000 and the lower area is probably 17000 or 16000 if something bigger comes up. Since we are at the very top, I expect the market to go some sideways before trying to go down again. Next 2000 Points will be made to the downside but it’s too early to short this. current swing trade : None trade of the day: Short near the 1h 20ema, again. Or buying 19000. Obvious trades in hindsight…

2024-10-03 - priceactiontds - daily update - oilGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr oil - Continues to be wild. Got stopped out too many times today and wanted to hurt myself. Huge tails on daily bars above and today a 350 (5%) tick ripper. Bulls just melted through the bear trend line. Can absolutely be a bull trap and we see another giant pullback but for now I would not short it. If anything, I am not touching this for couple of day I think. comment : Market was very two sided until the spike above 72.20 happened. Market also did not accomplish anything after that spike, which leaves us not that much smarter going into tomorrow. It could very well see a big pullback or even proving to be a bull trap near the bear trend line. current market cycle : trading range inside big broad bear channel from the daily chart. If bulls continue above 74, it’s likely a new bull trend and could get us to 78. key levels : 66 - 74 bull case: Bulls let it drop below 67 and still managed to rip 300 ticks higher. Wild times currently. If you are a bull and want to buy this, you need really wide stops or wait for insane pullbacks. Not easy to trade. Bulls want a breakout above the bear trend line and hit 75. Above 75 is most likely no resistance until 77. Since the pullbacks are so deep, I doubt there are many bulls who want to buy 74 in hopes of breaking the trend line but I am open for surprises. Invalidation is below 70.4. bear case: Bears have the do or die moment at 74. Defend the bear trend or give up until we hit the next big bear trend line around 78. Given the erratic moves, bears are alive and well, mostly anyway. Anything below 71 would be a huge win for the bears tomorrow. Daily 20 ema is also flat, decreases the chance for the bulls. Invalidation is above 74.2. short term: Neutral around 74. Bearish below 73 for 70 again. If bulls can continue above 74.2, we could see more giving up by the bears and another strong move to 76 or 78. Very low probability though. medium-long term - Update from 2024-09-08: Bears broke below multi month support and want a retest of 64.46 or lower. Right now the selling is a bit too steep to be sustainable. When we get a more complex pullback and form a decent channel, I will write a longer update here. Can this bear trend be the start of a bigger where we see Oil below 50$ again? I have absolutely no idea but the current daily chart can not not lead to that conclusion. current swing trade: None trade of the day: Not going there today. You can’t expect this spike. Don’t fool yourself.

A Simple and Effective Strategy to Outsmart Liquidity HuntingHave you ever encountered a scenario where the price hits your Stop Loss level first, only to then fully reverse and head in the direction of your target profit, ultimately reaching it? If the answer is yes, you’ve most likely fallen victim to what is commonly referred to as a 'liquidity grab'. In other terms, this phenomenon is known as 'stop-loss hunting', and it is an inescapable occurrence within the realm of trading. But why does it happen? The answer lies in the actions of big market players, such as banks and institutions, who need to fill their large positions. Simply put, for markets to function properly, there must be equilibrium - an equal number of buyers and sellers, a balance between supply and demand. For every buy-back and sell-off you conduct, there must be an opposing party willing to execute the trade with you. This is where brokers come into play, linking both sides of the transaction. When there is an imbalance between buyers and sellers, it leads to market inefficiency, which can result in excess supply or demand, distorting price movements. Market makers help prevent this by ensuring market stability and securing better pricing for executing large orders.
 For example, imagine you have analysed the sentiment and opened a SELL trade on USD/CHF at a key level, placing your Stop Loss just above the same zone. After some time, you notice the price impulsively moves towards your Stop Loss, triggering it and taking you out of the trade. Later, you watch the price flip and move in the direction you had originally predicted. Frustrated, you begin to blame the market, convinced it’s rigged against you. However, what really happened is that the price was pushed into an obvious pool of Stop Losses, allowing the positions you and many others sold to be bought back. This also enabled large institutional orders to be filled at better prices, while maintaining balance between buy and sell orders. How do you avoid this? The key is to better understand market dynamics and make more informed decisions. In this scenario, a smarter approach would have been to place your entry where the obvious pool of Stop Losses is located. By doing so, you could have captured a more favourable risk-to-reward ratio, perhaps achieving a 1:3 trade, as illustrated in the accompanying chart. So next time, before rushing into a trade, take a step back. Assess the situation with greater patience and clarity. Often, there’s an initial push, just as the price action indicates. This move entices traders into premature entries. Afterward, a sudden liquidity grab occurs, wiping out these traders before the market reverses in the anticipated direction. Be patient. Play it smart. Best wishes, Investroy

PEPE forecast price🐸 1000PEPEUSDT.P Technical Analysis: We’re currently at a critical support level around 0.0088004 📉. If price stabilizes below this area, expect further drops to the 0.0076411 zone, marking a potential 13.04% decline 📉. However, there's a descending trendline ⤵️ pressing the price down. A break above this line would be a sign of reversal 🔄, targeting the first resistance at 0.0095467 💥. If the price holds above this point, it could trigger a bullish move towards higher resistances at 0.010237 (a 10.74% increase) and then to 0.0118714 (a 19.64% increase) 📈. Key strategy: Watch for volume spikes 📊 and wait for a clean breakout above the descending trendline for a potential buying opportunity 🚀. If support breaks, prepare for deeper pullbacks ⬇️.

2024-10-02 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr dax - 3 clear legs down and today’s selling could not reach the lower bear trend line, which showed weakness by the bears. We are close enough to the daily 20ema to expect bulls scaling into longs and hoping for a retest of 19400/19500 or higher. 1h 20ema held today too but I expect it to be broken tomorrow. Below 19200, 19000 will come fast. comment: Not happy with the currently drawn bear channel, since market has only 1 touch of the upper trend line. I expect sideways to up movement tomorrow until we touch it and there bears have to defend it for another try at 19200. I am neutral around 19300 and can’t see bears doing another strong leg down tomorrow. current market cycle: bull trend (big trend line is currently at 19000, minor bull trend line got hit today) key levels: 19000 - 20000 bull case: Bulls bought the minor bull trend line that started 2024-09-11 and probably also the daily 20ema which is only 200 points lower. It was also the August high 19217. Bulls want to make 19200 support that was previously resistance before market broke strongly above it for a new ath. Bulls know that this is the first pullback in an otherwise very strong bull trend and high 1 are almost never working strongly for bears. Bulls see this as a pullback and scaling into longs, that is why we have tails below the prior 2 daily bars. Next they want to break above the 1h 20ema and retest today’s high 19428 - above that price comes 19500 probably quick because I expect many bears to have their stops there. Invalidation is below 19190. bear case: Bears had 3 legs down and today’s leg was weaker than before. Not good for them. They need to defend the 1h ema or risk a test of 19428. They do not have many arguments besides trading below the 1h ema. We are still above the daily ema and both bull trend lines. Either bears show strength tomorrow or bulls will take control again. Don’t. Short. The. Hole. Invalidation is above 19430. short term: Neutral around 19300. Bullish above 19430 and bearish only below big bear bars below 19200. medium-long term - Update from 2024-09-01: 4 Months left in 2024 and I do think the market is in a trading range where the upper area is around 19000 and the lower area is probably 17000 or 16000 if something bigger comes up. Since we are at the very top, I expect the market to go some sideways before trying to go down again. Next 2000 Points will be made to the downside but it’s too early to short this. current swing trade: None. trade of the day: Shorting 1h 20ema again. The selling down to 19200 was weirdly strong.

2024-10-02 - priceactiontds - daily update - goldGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr gold - Bulls now touched the bull trend line that started 2024-09-11 and market is making higher lows and lower highs. Means contraction and we will see a breakout tomorrow. I favor the bulls to retest 2700 or higher. Only bearish below 2645. comment : Bears tried and failed. Bulls bought the bull trend line and above 2685 I don’t expect 2692 to hold and we go for 2700 or 2708, if not higher, again. There is always the possibility of me being wrong and patterns failing. So below 2660 the bears are favored to test 2646 and below that bulls have to defend the minor bull trend line which is close to the daily 20ema 2630-2640. current market cycle: bull trend key levels: 2645 - 2700 bull case: Bulls in full control, still. Decent pullback on the daily chart, which was bought and bulls are free to trade higher again for the third leg up. Not more magic to it. Invalidation is below 2545. bear case: Bears tried multiple times but bulls bought it all. Next stage is giving up. Most bears have stops 2685 or latest 2695. If they somehow manage to get below 2660, they want a retest of 2646 and I really can’t see them breaking that price without touching 2700 again. If bears were strong, we would have seen it by now. Obviously an event can always happen but you can’t bet on it. Right now it’s technically still a contracting triangle and we could test 2665 again. Invalidation is above 2685 and above 2695. short term: Max bullishness if we stay above 2660 medium-long term: Very strong breakout above, again. Market currently has no ceiling. Most likely 2700 next and I do think 3000 could be a potential target if we continue. There is certainly an argument for a measured move based on the bull rally from 2018-08 to 2020-08. current swing trade: None trade of the day: Buying 2665 after market showed it does not want to go lower at bar 2.

SPY Advanced Analysis by Deno Trading: What’s Next for the S&P 5Let’s dive into the SPY analysis across multiple timeframes, looking for key insights on where the market could be headed. I’ll break it down step by step so it’s easier to follow along. 30-Minute Chart Overview: Current Price Action: We’re sitting around $569, and what’s really interesting is that SPY has been consolidating after hitting a recent high of $570. The market is in a bit of a tug-of-war between bulls and bears, and we’re right at a pivotal level. Key Resistance: The $570 - $574 zone is a major resistance level. Every time we’ve tested it recently, we’ve seen the market pull back, indicating strong selling pressure. This zone is critical, and we’ll need to break above it with volume to see any further upside. Support: On the downside, the first level of support is around $565, followed by $561, which aligns with the 50-period moving average on the 30-minute chart. If the price breaks below this level, we could see further downside pressure. 4-Hour Chart Insights: Moving Average Support: On the 4-hour chart, we’re seeing strong support at $561, where the 50-period moving average has been acting as a floor for recent price action. As long as SPY holds this level, the bulls still have a chance to regain control. Potential Bullish Scenario: If the price holds $561 and pushes higher, a break above $574 could take us to new highs for the year, potentially testing levels above $580. Bearish Case: If we fail to hold $561, I’d expect a move down towards $552, where the next level of support lies. This level has acted as both resistance and support in the past, making it an important area to watch. Daily Chart Breakdown: Longer-Term Uptrend: The daily chart shows that SPY is still in a broader uptrend, holding above the 200-day moving average, currently sitting around $552. This level has provided a solid base throughout the year, so as long as we remain above it, the long-term trend remains bullish. Current Resistance: The $570 - $574 resistance zone is evident here as well. This level marks the highs from September, and breaking it would signal the market’s willingness to push towards $580 and beyond. Weekly Chart for Perspective: Larger Timeframe: The weekly chart tells a similar story. We’re hovering around $570, right at a major resistance level. The 50-week moving average, sitting around $512, is well below the current price, suggesting we still have a cushion before a significant breakdown would occur. What to Watch: If we break $574 on the weekly chart, we could see a massive bullish continuation. However, failure to break this level could lead to a bigger pullback to $550 or even $530 in the weeks ahead. Conclusion & What I’m Watching: Bullish Breakout Scenario: If SPY breaks above $574 with strong volume, we could see a rally towards $580 or higher. This would confirm that buyers are back in control. Bearish Rejection Scenario: On the flip side, failure to break this resistance could lead to a pullback towards $561 or even $552. If we break below those levels, the bearish case strengthens, and we could see further downside. Final Thoughts: Right now, we’re at a pivotal point. The next few trading sessions will determine whether we’re gearing up for a breakout or a more significant pullback. I’m watching the $570 - $574 level closely for signs of either bullish continuation or rejection.

2024-10-01 - priceactiontds - daily update - oilGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr Oil - Bullish outside bar with big tails above and below. Still a strong day by the bulls but they could not get above last weeks high 72.39 which shows they are not that strong. 50% pb is around 68 so market is neutral there. We are at 70 and I expect it to be bigger resistance. Bulls want 73 to test the upper bear trend line. comment: Bull spike was big enough to expect a second leg. Bears tested the lows enough from a technical perspective and I do think the pain trade is up. One measured move target is 74, which would be around the upper bear trend line and that is my preferred target for the bulls as of now. current market cycle: trading range inside big broad bear channel from the daily chart key levels : 66 - 74 bull case: Bulls should not let it drop below 68.5. If they keep it above the 1h 20ema, their odds continue to be great for a second leg to 73 or higher. There is a small chance that the pullback already happened to 69.76 and we move higher from here. Will reevaluate tomorrow morning before EU open. Bulls are favored. Invalidation is below 69.5. bear case: Bears need to keep it a lower high below 72.4 or market will likely move to 73/74 with force. The 71.5 price is roughly the 50% pullback for the last bear leg and market continues to find sellers in that area. As long as that is the case, we will likely continue sideways between 66 - 72. Invalidation is above 72.4. short term: Bullish above 69.5, expecting a second leg up. medium-long term - Update from 2024-09-08 : Bears broke below multi month support and want a retest of 64.46 or lower. Right now the selling is a bit too steep to be sustainable. When we get a more complex pullback and form a decent channel, I will write a longer update here. Can this bear trend be the start of a bigger where we see Oil below 50$ again? I have absolutely no idea but the current daily chart can not not lead to that conclusion. current swing trade: None trade of the day: 67 was previous support and market got to 66.32 before we got a decent pullback. Could you have anticipated the spike? Maybe. The buying below 67 was strong enough to expect a second leg up and maybe retest 68. I’m happy for everyone who caught it.

Technical Analysis is NOT What the Majority Thinks It Is One of my favourite activities during my free time is sitting on the sofa and finding analyses on TradingView that resemble the one portrayed on the left-hand side of the illustration. My goal is to try deciphering what a given author is trying to convey to us, the audience. As you know, the more noise there is on the charts, the blurrier the picture becomes. The blurrier the picture, the more there is room for curiosity and discovery. Over the years, I’ve become more convinced that less is more and that you don’t need to clutter your charts with an abundance of instruments while conducting a technical orchestration. In fact, most people have false expectations regarding how proper technical analysis should be conducted. Many think TA is all about lines and boxes when, in reality, it’s about understanding price behaviour and making educated guesses with pre-calculated risk. Therefore, the aim of this brief educational article is to contrast two types of traders – let’s call them Average Joe and Experienced Joe – and provide professional insights into how technical analysis really functions and should be practiced. Let’s start by scrutinising the scenario on the left. The author has identified some critical regions, drawn a few lines, and highlighted a Fibonacci retracement level of importance. Then, they sketched a game plan using arrows to indicate how the price might behave next. What’s wrong with this approach? In short, everything. The longer answer: there’s a lack of necessary technical interpretation combined with unnecessary efforts. Although some analytical tools are present, they don’t offer any depth in terms of what the price behaviour might be orchestrating. Nor do most of these instruments serve any purpose when applied in a scattered manner. Now, let’s analyse what Experienced Joe – the trader behind the right-hand side of the screen – has put together. He has identified key regions and utilised a few tools for mapping purposes. However, his primary focus is understanding price behaviour by interpreting movements on the weekly-timeframe chart. Since he has traded the same handful of financial securities for years, he is experienced in reading charts like a book and grasping the logic behind price action. After understanding what’s unfolding, the trader finalises his game plan and executes positions. Comparing the two traders, we can see a significant difference between using technical instruments in abundance without comprehension, and using them in moderation with the real goal of understanding price behaviour.
With that said, here is a 3-step guide on how to properly utilise technical analysis when studying a financial instrument and entering trade positions: Step #1 - Read the chart like a book. Where is the price potentially headed? What has been happening recently? What economic event caused the massive candle spike? Does it look like the price is correcting a recent impulse? Take a glance at the graph and try to understand the overall situation. Step #2 - Highlight key zones and sketch a game plan. This is a crucial level that the price has respected for a significant amount of time.
Here, the price printed a liquidity grab, so I’ll mark that.
The price is forming a reversal bottom, so I’m preparing to go long from here.
The 0.84 region looks like a solid initial target. Sketch a preliminary game plan based on your analysis and focus on execution. Step #3 - Execute a trade position at pre-calculated risk (usually, 1-2%). Set your entry. Place your Stop Loss. Execute the trade. In conclusion, technical analysis is not just about drawing some lines and shapes. It’s time to change the stereotype and emphasise the real utility of technical analysis. After all, trading without trying to understand price dynamics—especially if you are a technical trader—is like blindly memorising driving rules without understanding their purpose. Of course, there’s no secret recipe that works 100% of the time, including technical analysis. However, by sticking to a consistent approach and being patient, we can aim toward achieving long-term profitability.

Gold and luck to climbConsidering the news of the war and contractionary policies of the American government and the reduction of interest rates and the approach of the central and major banks of the world to buy and save gold, I expect gold to move up to the range of $2,800 in the first stage. But in the short-term analysis, according to what you can see in the chart, we have an upward movement up to the specified range, and after that we will continue with the analysis update. Thank you for paying attention and following me, if you have a specific symbol in mind, leave a comment for analysis.
