8.3.2024 Platinum Weekend Pre Market AnalysisIt's the weekend. I like to go out to my larger charts and clean off the entire chart and start analyzing the instrument for next weeks trading.
We know that price is going to move up or down from where it currently is located, so we just need to make up a game plan to trade it..
Looking out at the 4 hour, 1 hour, and 15 minute charts for our trend and target analysis. Then dialing it down to the 3 minute or 15 minute to look for an entry!
Supply Zone
Gold Breakout Imminent? Uncover the Explosive Potential of GOLD!Current Trend
Bull Flag Formation: The chart indicates a bull flag pattern, a bullish continuation pattern that usually occurs after a strong uptrend (flagpole). The consolidation within the flag is typically a pause before the next upward move.
Trendlines: The yellow trendlines outlining the flag suggest that the price is currently testing the upper boundary of this consolidation range.
Fibonacci Retracement Levels
78.60%: This level is around 2431.637 (coincides with a 4HR LQZ), acting as a strong resistance zone.
61.80%: Around 2410.880, which the current price has just crossed, potentially indicating bullish momentum.
50.00%: Around 2393.940, served as a support level during the consolidation.
38.20%: Around 2372.760, another support level during the consolidation.
Liquidity Zones (LQZ)
4HR LQZ at 2431.637: A significant resistance zone that aligns with the 78.60% Fibonacci retracement level. This is a critical area to watch for potential price reaction.
4HR LQZ at 2349.449: A key support zone which held during the recent consolidation phase.
Price Action
Current Price: At 2410.880, the price is approaching the critical resistance at the 4HR LQZ (2431.637).
Breakout Potential: If the price can break and hold above the 2431.637 level, it may confirm the continuation of the bullish trend, targeting higher liquidity zones.
Support Levels: The price needs to stay above the 61.80% Fibonacci retracement level (2410.880) to maintain bullish momentum. A drop below could lead to further consolidation or a bearish reversal.
Daily Bull Flag
Upper Trendline: The price nearing the upper trendline of the daily bull flag indicates potential breakout if breached.
Lower Trendline: Support if the price pulls back.
Trading Strategy
Long Entry:
Upon a confirmed breakout above the 4HR LQZ at 2431.637, with a potential target of the next daily liquidity zone at 2475.281.
Use the 50.00% retracement level (2393.940) as a support for placing stop-loss to protect against downside risk.
Short Entry:
If the price fails to break above the 4HR LQZ and shows bearish reversal signs, a short trade could be considered with a target back to the lower 4HR LQZ at 2349.449.
Use the current price level (2410.880) as a resistance for stop-loss placement.
Risk Management:
Utilize appropriate position sizing and risk management to account for volatility and potential price fluctuations.
Summary
Bullish Outlook: If the price breaks above the 2431.637 level, indicating a continuation of the bull flag pattern, with targets at 2475.281 and beyond.
Bearish Outlook: If the price fails to break above 2431.637 and shows a reversal, potential downside targets include 2393.940 and 2349.449.
Monitoring the price action around these critical levels will be crucial in determining the next significant move for XAUUSD.
What is Support and Resistance in Trading. Key Levels Basics
In the today's article, we will discuss the absolute basics of technical analysis: support and resistance levels.
I will explain to you why support and resistance are important , how to identify them properly, and we will discuss what is the difference between support and resistance level and support or resistance zone.
Let's start with a definition of a support .
A support is a historically significant price level that lies below the current prices of an asset.
While a resistance is a historically significant price level that is above the current prices.
From a key resistance, a bearish movement will be anticipated in futures, while from a key support, a bullish reaction will be expected.
Take a look at EURAUD pair, we can see a perfect example of a key resistance level.
2 times in a row, the market dropped from that in the past, confirming its significance.
By a historical significance , I mean that the price reacted strongly to such price level in the past and a strong bullish, bearish movement initiated from that.
Above is the example of a key horizontal support on EURCHF. The underlined key level was respected by the market multiple times in the past.
From time to time, the market breaks key levels.
After a breakout , a support turns into resistance
and a resistance turns into support.
Above is the example of a breakout of a key support on GBPNZD, after its violation it turned into resistance from where a bearish movement followed.
Always remember, that in order to confirm a breakout of a key support, we strictly need a candle close below that.
By the way, the structure here is also the zone, but we will discuss it later on.
Above is the example of a breakout of a key resistance, that turned into support after a violation.
Very often, newbie traders ask me, how many times the price should react to a key level to make it valid.
I do believe that 1 time is more than enough, however, make sure that the reaction to that is strong .
Above are key support and resistance on GBPCAD. Even though both structures were respected just one time in the past, the reaction to them was strong enough to confirm that the underlined levels are the key levels.
However, historical significance of a key support or resistance is not enough to make it valid.
What matters is the most recent reaction of the price to that.
Key supports and resistance lose their significance with time, and your job as a technical analyst, is to stay flexible and adapt to changing market conditions, regularly updating your analysis.
Above is a key resistance level on AUDJPY from where the market dropped heavily 2 times in a row.
However, with time, the underlined resistance lost its significance.
Such a structure is not a key level anymore.
Remember a simple rule: if a key structure is not respected by the sellers, and by the buyers after its breakout.
Or vice versa: if a key structure is not respected by the buyers, and then by the sellers after its breakout.
Such a structure is not a key level , and you should not rely on that in the future.
In our example, the resistance was broken - it was neglected by the sellers. After the breakout, it should have turned into support, but the buyers also neglected that and the structure lost its strength.
Now, a couple of words about time frames,
you can identify key support and resistances on any time frame, but
the rule is that higher is the time frame, more significant are the supports and resistances there.
In my analysis, I primarily rely on support and resistance on a daily time frame.
Always remember that the financial markets are not perfect and the prices will quite rarely respect the exact support or resistance levels.
Quite often, the markets may fluctuate around key levels so it is highly recommendable to rely not on single key levels but on zones.
I recommend taking into consideration not only the exact level from where a strong reaction followed, but also a candle close level of such a candle.
The support zone above is based on a wick and a candle close of a candle.
Also, quite often there will be the situations when multiple key levels will lie close to each other.
In such a case, it is better to unite all this structures in one single zone.
Above we see multiple key resistances.
We will unite all these resistances into one single zone. The upper boundary of a resistance zone will be the highest wick and its lower boundary will be the highest candle close.
Above we have 2 key supports lying close to each other.
We will unite these supports into one single zone.
The lower boundary of a support zone will be the lowest wick and the upper boundary will be the lowest candle close.
Here is how a complete structure analysis should look.
Following the rules that we discussed, you should identify at least 2 closest key resistances and 2 closest key supports.
These structures will be applied as the entries for various trading strategies.

XAUUSD - 1H a modest rise before more fallOANDA:XAUUSD I anticipate a modest rise in gold prices from the current support levels, which should serve as a pullback before a further decline. The technical analysis indicates strong support at the bottom of the trading range and the current support level, suggesting a temporary upward movement.
In the political arena, recent news that President Joe Biden has dropped out of the presidential race has significant implications. Vice President Kamala Harris has been introduced as his successor, altering the dynamics of the upcoming election. This shift has also led to a decrease in former President Donald Trump’s chances of reclaiming the White House. These political developments add a layer of uncertainty that typically benefits gold, a traditional safe haven asset.

Liquidity Zones (LQZ):
Definition: Liquidity zones are areas on the chart where there is a high concentration of trading activity, often leading to significant price movements.
Identification: Learn how to spot these zones using volume profiles, order flow analysis, and historical price action.

Position Size Calculation: Calculate your position size based on the distance to your stop loss and your risk tolerance.
Risk-Reward Ratio:
Target Ratio: Aim for a risk-reward ratio of at least 2:1, meaning your potential profit should be at least twice your potential loss.
Trade Evaluation: Evaluate each trade based on its risk-reward ratio before entering, ensuring it aligns with your trading strategy.
By incorporating these technical strategies and mindset principles, you can enhance your trading performance and increase your chances of success in the gold market. Stay tuned for more educational content and trading insights!
GBPCHF - Strong Supply!Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst.
📈 GBPCHF has been overall bullish, trading within the rising channel in red.
Currently, GBPCHF is hovering around the upper bound of the channel.
Moreover, it is retesting a supply zone marked in red.
🏹 Thus, the highlighted red circle is a strong area to look for sell setups as it is the intersection of the supply zone and upper red trendline acting as a non-horizontal resistance.
📚 As per my trading style:
As #GBPCHF approaches the red circle zone, I will be looking for bearish reversal setups (like a double top pattern, trendline break , and so on...)
📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.
Good luck!

EUR/GBP Loitering South of Resistance Ahead of Eurozone CPI DataAhead of today’s eurozone CPI inflation report (9 am GMT), the EUR/GBP cross is approaching an interesting resistance level of £0.8500.
What makes this level a worthwhile watch is that the base is complemented by several additional resistances.
These resistances include the potential ascending resistance line, drawn from the low of £0.8493, which, as you can see, is nestled just north of the noted horizontal resistance level. You will also note that we have a resistance area at £0.8533-£0.8500, as well as an AB=CD resistance at £0.8513 (depicted by a 100% projection ratio) that’s closely shadowed by a 38.2% Fibonacci retracement ratio and a 50.0% retracement ratio at £0.8521, respectively.
Supporting a reaction from the technical confluence between £0.8533 and £0.8500 is the trend. The overall bias has been to the downside since late 2023, with defined lower lows and lower highs being seen since April this year.
BANK NIFTY SUPPLY & DEMAND ZONENSE:BANKNIFTY
Supply & Demand Zones have been highlighted on daily timeframe for understanding trade setups.
Change of character in index has been observed after 41300, when it has not marked any LL.
After continuing its strong upward move; previous supply zones start around 43000, 43500 and ultimately around 44000 (latest high of 14-Dec-2022).
While price moving up, RSI will also play its part by creating divergence in overbought zone. This may lead to trap retail investors & smart money getting max profit out of it.
Since 14-Dec-2022, NSE:BANKNIFTY has not made any HH, rather moved in downward direction even after tried to consolidate & tried to break resistance of 42000 but could not sustain.
GBPCHF | Short D1 | Market Exec | Incoming Risk-OffTechnical Confluences for Trade:

Sell Opportunities in the Base Area I saw that there was a clear base on XAUUSD, after the price fell on Friday last week.
XAUUSD plan takes a SELL opportunity if the price enters the base. Look at the chart.
This plan is not a recommendation for making XAUUSD trading decisions, all profits and losses are not our responsibility.
EUR/CHF ShortContext:
• Monthly Rejection confirmed
• Weekly build a RBD with FVGs
• Daily consolidated for 3 days below Swing Low and left that base
Idea:
• Short on 4h-Supply
Entry Area:
• 0.9642 - 0.9670
Entry Signal:
Two options
• LMT on 4h Supply
• Reversal on lower timeframe like 1h
Stop:
• Above Supply or entry setup
Target:
• 0.9565 (last bullish montly candle low)
Scenario invalidated:
• Bullish Reversal into breakout-Range, i.e. above 0.967
• If we build up momentum and create another base → would be new scneraio

RENDER Targets $8.10When you take a look at the chart, you can see that render has lost some buyers and has now flipped an important support into resistance.
The area with the most volume, is the May POC. if we can bounce from that level, a 15% increase to the previous resistance can happen.

Notcoin Targets $0.17There's a liquidity zone is right at $0.17. The last sell-off didn't sweep the lows (Tan Line). Price likes to search for liquidity and that's where there's a lot.
