SHORT - GOLD (XAU/USD): Decending Triangle on GOLD Good Morning, Traders. As always, please note that this is not financial advice — always do your own research (DYOR). This morning, we are observing the development of a descending triangle pattern on the 15-minute timeframe, forming at a critical support level. This technical formation is often indicative of bearish momentum. Should the price action decisively break below this key support, it would signal a potential shorting opportunity. Such a breakdown could trigger accelerated selling pressure, offering the possibility of favourable risk-to-reward setups for short positions. Traders are advised to closely monitor price behavior around the support line, watch for increased volume on the break, and ensure proper risk management before entering any positions. Stay vigilant and trade smart.

UnitedHealth Group faces DOJ criminal probeUnitedHealth Group faces DOJ criminal probe amid stock turmoil. Will the gaps be filled? (and most importantly when) This situation shows the critical importance of compliance and transparency in the healthcare industry, especially for companies managing public funds. UnitedHealth Group is under a criminal investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice for potential Medicare fraud, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. This follows a civil inquiry earlier this year and a separate Senate investigation into the company's Medicare billing practices. The company's stock has experienced significant volatility, recently closing at $308.01, marking a 48% decline over the past month and a 40% drop year-over-year. Analysts have adjusted their outlooks accordingly, with Oppenheimer setting a price target of $400, KeyBanc at $450, and B of A Securities at $350. #trading #tradingcards #tradingstrategy #daytrading #swingtrading #stocktrading #optionstrading

Bears are active at the beginning of the week, prices are down⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION: The United States and China announced “substantial progress” following two days of trade negotiations in Switzerland, marking a potential turning point in efforts to ease tensions between the world’s two largest economies. Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng characterized the discussions as “an important first step” toward stabilizing bilateral trade, while US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent echoed the sentiment, noting meaningful advancements were made. The US is expected to release more details about the outcome of the talks on Monday. While signs of progress may dampen demand for safe-haven assets like gold, lingering uncertainty around the specifics of any deal could still lend some support to the precious metal. “Ongoing ambiguity surrounding tariffs remains one of the most influential factors sustaining gold,” noted David Meger, Director of Metals Trading at High Ridge Futures. ⭐️Personal comments NOVA: The short-term downtrend is maintained, gold price accumulates around 3300 and continues to go down to lower support zones. ⭐️SET UP GOLD PRICE: 🔥SELL GOLD zone : 3315- 3317 SL 3322 TP1: $3300 TP2: $3290 TP3: $3280 🔥BUY GOLD zone: $3223 - $3225 SL $3218 TP1: $3238 TP2: $3245 TP3: $3260 ⭐️Technical analysis: Based on technical indicators EMA 34, EMA89 and support resistance areas to set up a reasonable sell order. ⭐️NOTE: Note: Nova wishes traders to manage their capital well - take the number of lots that match your capital - Takeprofit equal to 4-6% of capital account - Stoplose equal to 2-3% of capital account

EURUSD | Head‑&‑Shoulders on the Brink – Bears Eye 1.1250📉 Trade Thesis A textbook Head‑and‑Shoulders has completed on the 30‑min EURUSD chart. Price is now testing the rising neckline drawn from mid‑April swing lows. A clean close and retest beneath that trendline opens room toward the next demand shelf and the lower boundary of the broader ascending channel. 🎯 Execution Plan Entry: wait for a decisive candle close below the neckline, then look to short on a minor pull‑back into that broken support. Stop: just above the right‑shoulder high to keep risk tight. Target: the measured‑move objective sits near the channel median/support cluster highlighted on the chart; scale out as price approaches that zone. 🧩 Confluence Factors Momentum loss: RSI made a lower peak on the “head” versus the prior thrust, signalling fading upside energy. Event risk: upcoming NFP/ISM releases may fuel USD volatility, providing the catalyst for a break. Structure: the right shoulder’s supply shelf has capped every rally since late April, reinforcing bearish pressure. ⚠️ Risk Management Macro data can produce whipsaws—size positions accordingly and stick to the plan. Move stops to breakeven once price pushes convincingly away from the neckline. For educational purposes only. Trade your own strategy & manage risk.

Gold price weakens, correction 3176⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION: Gold’s intraday decline appears partly driven by technical selling pressure after decisively breaking below the key $3,265–$3,260 support zone. However, the US Dollar (USD) struggles to sustain any significant recovery as expectations grow for more aggressive Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cuts—fueled by an unexpected contraction in US GDP and signs of softening inflation. These factors may continue to support demand for the non-yielding precious metal, suggesting that traders should remain cautious before anticipating a deeper pullback from the recent all-time high near $3,500. ⭐️Personal comments NOVA: Crossing the 3264 mark in the sideways price zone, gold prices continue to weaken. ⭐️SET UP GOLD PRICE: 🔥SELL GOLD zone : 3270- 3272 SL 3277 TP1: $3260 TP2: $3250 TP3: $3240 🔥BUY GOLD zone: $3178 - $3176 SL $3171 TP1: $3185 TP2: $3200 TP3: $3210 ⭐️Technical analysis: Based on technical indicators EMA 34, EMA89 and support resistance areas to set up a reasonable SELL order. ⭐️NOTE: Note: Nova wishes traders to manage their capital well - take the number of lots that match your capital - Takeprofit equal to 4-6% of capital account - Stoplose equal to 2-3% of capital account

Gold price heading below 3300⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION: Federal Reserve (Fed) officials have signaled openness to potential interest rate cuts, a stance that could limit further upside in the US Dollar (USD) and lend support to the non-yielding Gold price. Additionally, growing concerns over the economic repercussions of President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariff measures, combined with ongoing geopolitical instability, continue to bolster the appeal of safe-haven assets. In this environment, the broader bias for gold remains tilted to the upside, urging caution for traders considering bold bearish positions. ⭐️Personal comments NOVA: continue sideways, price range fluctuates around 3300 ⭐️SET UP GOLD PRICE: 🔥SELL GOLD zone : 3382- 3384 SL 3389 TP1: $3370 TP2: $3360 TP3: $3350 🔥BUY GOLD zone: $3294 - $3292 SL $3287 TP1: $3300 TP2: $3310 TP3: $3320 ⭐️Technical analysis: Based on technical indicators EMA 34, EMA89 and support resistance areas to set up a reasonable SELL order. ⭐️NOTE: Note: Nova wishes traders to manage their capital well - take the number of lots that match your capital - Takeprofit equal to 4-6% of capital account - Stoplose equal to 2-3% of capital account

Trade Idea: US30 Short (SELL STOP)1. Technical Analysis Daily Chart • Trend: Still overall bullish long-term, but in a short-term pullback phase after peaking. • MACD: Bearish crossover with widening histogram — indicating continued downside momentum. • RSI: At 45.05 — neutral-bearish, room to fall to oversold. • Price: Strong reaction at ~37675.05 area, bounced back to ~39562, forming a potential lower high. 15-Min Chart • MACD: Recently crossed bearish after a sharp rally. • Price Action: Approaching resistance zone (~39562), failed to make a new high. • RSI: 44.78 — leaning bearish, but not oversold yet. 3-Min Chart • MACD: Just flipped bullish but weak — suggesting possible micro pullback before continuation. • RSI: 48.82 — very neutral, no extreme condition. ⸻ 2. Fundamental Context (as of April 2025) • Recent sharp pullback from all-time highs hints at risk-off sentiment returning. • Likely driven by Fed rate uncertainty, inflationary stickiness, or geopolitical jitters. • Earnings season volatility could also play a role. • No strong bullish macro catalyst to support a fresh rally continuation yet. ⸻ 3. Trade Setup: SHORT Position Bias: SHORT Reason: Price hit resistance at 39562, confirmed by 15M MACD cross and RSI weakness. Daily still bearish momentum. No major bullish catalyst. ⸻ ENTRY: 39550 (near current resistance, confirmed failure to break higher) STOP LOSS (SL): 39800 (above recent minor high, above 15M key level) TAKE PROFIT (TP): 38900 — Minor support zone, clean level from 15M + previous consolidation area FUSIONMARKETS:US30

GOLD ( XAU:USD) : Potential Bearish Pennant + Correction WaveGood morning, traders. Please note, this is Not Financial Advice (NFA) —always conduct your own research and risk management. 1. Technical Analysis We are currently observing the formation of a potential bearish pennant, with price action consolidating between converging trendlines. This formation appears to align closely with the Elliott Wave correction structure, particularly within the A-B leg. The apex of the pennant lies just after wave (B), suggesting a potential breakdown into wave (C), completing the corrective sequence. Should this pattern confirm, we could anticipate a continuation of the downward movement, targeting deeper support zones in line with previous wave (4) levels. 2. Trend Structure Wave (5) appears to have completed, initiating the A-B-C correction. The corrective leg A → B is now complete, with price action consolidating near the upper resistance of the pennant. A breakdown below the lower support trendline could confirm wave C in motion, reinforcing the bearish outlook. 3.) Macro Environment & Market Sentiment Recent developments from the U.S. administration have introduced uncertainty in macroeconomic policy: Tariffs: Former President Donald Trump has hinted at a potential rollback of the 145% tariffs on Chinese goods, acknowledging their long-term unsustainability. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent clarified that any changes would be part of bilateral negotiations and not unilateral actions. Major U.S. retailers have raised concerns over ongoing supply chain disruptions, adding pressure to de-escalate trade tensions. However, Trump insists tariffs won’t be eliminated completely, signaling no immediate resolution. Federal Reserve Leadership: Trump also walked back earlier statements threatening to dismiss Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, now affirming that Powell will serve out his term until May 2026 . While this move has slightly calmed markets, Trump continues to pressure the Fed to lower interest rates amid persistent inflationary concerns. Although this softening stance introduces a degree of stability, the underlying tension between fiscal and monetary authorities remains.

Trade Idea: US30 Short ( MARKET ) Daily Chart (Macro View): • Bearish divergence: RSI is at 47.38 and turning down — no strong bullish momentum. • Recent bounce is sharp but came after a massive drop, suggesting a dead cat bounce or retracement. • MACD remains heavily bearish (-836), showing underlying weakness despite the current bounce. • Price recently rejected a key resistance near 40,850, aligning with previous support-turned-resistance levels. 15-Min Chart (Medium-Term): • RSI is at 78.76 — overbought territory. • Price surged parabolically, forming potential exhaustion. • MACD shows very high positive values (672.341), usually precedes a correction. • Potential bearish divergence between price and MACD. 3-Min Chart (Entry Timing): • Price has stalled at the top, consolidating after an extreme spike. • MACD and RSI are curling down. • Ideal for timing a short entry. ⸻ Trade Idea: SHORT US30 • Entry: 40,850 (current resistance zone + psychological level) • Stop Loss: 41,200 (above key recent highs / invalidation of setup) • Take Profit: 39,450 (near broken structure & moving average support on lower timeframes) Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RRR): • Risk: 350 points • Reward: 1,400 points • RRR: 4:1 (excellent) ⸻ Fundamental Context (Supporting the Short Bias): • Dow is rebounding amid broader market uncertainty (e.g., Fed rate trajectory, inflation prints). • No strong economic catalyst justifying a sustained breakout to new highs — suggests technical bounce rather than trend reversal. • Rising yields or a hawkish Fed outlook could reintroduce selling pressure.

Updated XRP Count Bearish (Short Term)Hello Friends, I've been trying to tackle this count for a couple of days now and finally came up with something that fits the picture and seems to work. I’m not in love with this count—it’s very tricky when it comes to the X wave. I’ve been reviewing and processing what the highest probability count could be for this part of the structure. As we understand it, Wave 1 of the 5th wave (or Wave A of the Y wave) was completed around January 20th at approximately $3.40. From that point until now, we are likely in Wave 2 of the 5th wave (or Wave B of the Y wave), which appears to be nearly complete. Wave 2 (or Wave B) is forming as a sharp double zigzag: A zigzag in Wave W A truncated, ugly-looking sharp double in the X wave (which I’m not a fan of, though I believe it’s valid and it fits) And a zigzag in Wave Y, which we are currently still in Probabilistically, we are in Wave B of the Y wave and should retrace to around $2.10–$2.40. As more subdivisions develop in the B wave, they’ll help confirm more precise target ranges in the coming days. I expect we’ll finish in the $1.60–$1.36 range (leaning more toward the lower end around $1.43–$1.36) to complete this correction before continuing toward the $10 target area. Thoughts? Thank you, GOD BLESS and TRADE ON!
