Support and Resistance

Apple Stock Is Surging! Here’s What Most People MissWhen it comes to trading, we don’t care about the latest news headlines or whether some analyst has upgraded or downgraded Apple stock. We focus on one thing and one thing only: the undeniable forces of supply and demand imbalances on higher timeframes. Right now, Apple’s monthly chart is a textbook example of how waiting for a strong demand imbalance pays off. That $178 monthly level is no random number. It’s the exact origin of a massive bullish impulse that happened in June 2024 — the kind of move that only happens when smart money and big institutions step in, creating an imbalance that pushes the price away rapidly. 📈 It’s Not About Fundamentals. It’s About Imbalances. Most retail traders waste time chasing news, earnings, or rumours about iPhone sales. But if you think about it, all those factors are already priced in once a strong imbalance is formed. Institutions don’t wait for tomorrow’s news — they plan their positions weeks or months ahead, and those footprints are visible right on your chart. The $178 level indicates a significant drop in supply and a surge in demand large enough to propel Apple higher, marked by consecutive large bullish candlesticks. That’s our signal — nothing more, nothing less.

XRPUSDT → Resistance ahead. Correction before growthBINANCE:XRPUSDT is rising after breaking through consolidation resistance. Bitcoin's rally supported the overall market momentum, but a new resistance zone lies ahead... Bitcoin is testing its ATH and updating it, but is facing pressure and forming a false breakout. A correction in the flagship coin could trigger a correction in XRP, but if Bitcoin continues to storm the 112K area without a pullback, followed by a breakout, the market could find support and continue to rise. After XRP broke through resistance, the coin entered a distribution phase and is testing an important resistance zone of 2.4488 - 2.4772. The inability to continue growth, a false breakout, and price consolidation in the selling zone could trigger a correction. Resistance levels: 2.4488, 2.4772, 2.6524 Support levels: 2.3587, 2.3375, 2.2455 Despite breaking through resistance, XRP is still in a local downtrend. Pressure on the market is still present. The formation of a false breakout will indicate that growth is limited for now. However, if the price consolidates above 2.4772 and begins to break out of the local structure, we can expect growth to continue. Best regards, R. Linda!

Bitcoin Expecting Bullish FormationBitcoin could be triggered by negative news from the U.S. regarding tariffs, which may create market uncertainty and push investors toward risk-off or alternative assets like crypto. Currently, Bitcoin is reacting to the decline caused by fundamental negative data, but bullish sentiment remains alive as buyers attempt to hold key support zones. The focus now shifts to the psychological resistance near 110K You may find more details in the chart. Ps support with like and comments for more better analysis.

Don’t be too optimistic, gold may change its face at any time!Gold continued to rebound to around 3320, and it seems to have completely stood above 3300. The bulls are recovering. Should we chase gold in a big way? In fact, due to the disruption of news such as the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision and tariffs, the gold market has clearly shown the characteristics of frequent switching between long and short positions and discontinuity between long and short positions. Therefore, even if gold rebounds to a certain extent, it is difficult for the market to stand unilaterally on the bull side. In the short term, gold began to retreat from around 3366, reaching a minimum of around 3283, with a retracement of $83; and currently it has only rebounded from the low of 3283 to around 3320, and the rebound is even less than 50%. Gold bulls are not as strong as imagined; although gold continues to rebound, before regaining the 3325-3335 area, it can only be regarded as a technical repair of the sharp drop, and cannot be completely regarded as a reversal of the trend. So after the rebound of gold, gold bears may counterattack strongly at any time. Therefore, in short-term trading, after gold rebounds, you can consider shorting gold with the 3325-3335 area as resistance, and the first entry area worth paying attention to is 3320-3330.

EURUSD Could leading Bullish correctionEURUSD has shown significant bullish momentum after breaking its previous structure. The pair is now undergoing a local corrective phase, which is healthy within an overall upward trend. Currently, the price remains in a bullish model, suggesting that the correction may be short-lived before a continuation toward the key resistance zone. Resistance zone 1.17620 / 1.18220 Support Level 1.16800 1.17450 A false breakdown below the identified support level could trigger renewed buying interest, shifting market sentiment in favour of bulls and potentially accelerating the next upward leg.

$XRP Bias Change: Bullish Elliot Wave CountCRYPTOCAP:XRP is breaking out the descending resistance causing me to take another look at my WXYXZ corrective Eliot Wave count expecting lower. I have adjusted the count to WXY and a 1-2 new motif wave with a target of $3.8 Price is well above the daily 200EMA and daily pivot after testing both as support including the High Volume Node. Closing above the descending resistance today will be a bullish signal but a retest of that resistance as support before continuing onwards its what to look out for. Analysis is invalidated below $1.8 Safe Trading

AUDUSD: Bullish Accumulation?!Quick update for ⚠️AUDUSD: The price formed a classic bullish pattern on a 4-hour chart known as the ascending triangle, indicating bullish accumulation and a likely upward movement. To confirm this, we will adhere to the previously discussed plan, waiting for a breakout above 0.6560 and a 4-hour candle close above that level, which could lead to a potential rise to 0.6586. Conversely, a bearish breakout below the triangle's trend line would signal a strong downward movement.

USDT DOMINANCE New Update (4H)By analyzing the chart, it becomes clear that the USDT dominance structure is bearish. After the structural shift to a downtrend, with lower highs and lower lows forming, it is expected that the price will drop to the main support zone in order to collect major orders from lower levels. The price could drop from the current level or from the upper supply zone, which would signal a bullish move in the overall market. The target is the green box. A daily candle closing above the supply zone would invalidate this analysis. For risk management, please don't forget stop loss and capital management Comment if you have any questions Thank You

Ethereum Analysis – Vitalik’s Gas Cap Proposal Adds PressureToday, I want to show you the possible moves for Ethereum ( BINANCE:ETHUSDT ) this week. Please stay with me . Let’s first take a look at the important news that has come for Ethereum in the last 24 hours : Ethereum’s Gas Cap Proposal Sparks Concerns Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently proposed EIP-7983 , introducing a gas limit cap to prevent potential DoS (Denial of Service) attacks on the network. Bearish Takeaways: This proposal reveals a current vulnerability in Ethereum’s infrastructure. If gas limits grow unchecked, nodes may fail to sync, leading to possible network instability. Imposing a gas cap could temporarily reduce transaction throughput, affecting DeFi protocols and NFT platforms that rely on Ethereum’s scalability. The market tends to react cautiously to core protocol changes, and this uncertainty could trigger short-term selling pressure. Bullish Counterpoints: The cap aims to strengthen the network’s long-term stability against spam and DoS attacks. It’s still in the proposal stage, with no immediate impact on users or network performance. Conclusion: While the long-term impact may be positive, the short-term uncertainty and exposed risks provide a bearish narrative for Ethereum, especially amid growing competition from alternative chains. -------------------------------------- Now let's take a look at the Ethereum chart on the 4-hour time frame . Ethereum is currently trading near the Heavy Resistance zone($2,929-$2,652) and Resistance lines , and is also trying to break the Support line . In terms of the Elliott Wave theory , it seems that Ethereum has completed the Zigzag Correction(ABC/5-3-5) , so we can expect the next bearish wave . I expect Ethereum to fall to at least $2,433 AFTER breaking the Support line, and if the Support zone($2,491-$2,323) is broken, we should expect further declines. Second Target: $2,374 Note: Stop Loss (SL) = $2,689= Worst Stop Loss(SL) Please respect each other's ideas and express them politely if you agree or disagree. Ethereum Analyze (ETHUSDT), 4-hour time frame. Be sure to follow the updated ideas. Do not forget to put a Stop loss for your positions (For every position you want to open). Please follow your strategy and updates; this is just my Idea, and I will gladly see your ideas in this post.

USDJPY – Can the Dollar Squeeze Last?In FX markets, the USDJPY currency pair has moved more than most this week. Initially trading higher, rocked by President Trump’s unveiling of the tariff letter sent to Japan on Tuesday in a social media show outlining new tariffs on Japanese imports of 25%, supported by rising US 10 year treasury yields (+10 bps on week), which often can influence USDJPY prices, and a general squeeze on weak short US dollar positions across all G7/10 currency pairs. This all helped USDJPY to move from Monday’s opening level around 144.40 up to a 3-week high of 147.18 on Wednesday. Then it was all change as USDJPY ran into a wave of fresh selling as traders took advantage of the squeeze to reopen short positions at higher levels, especially with various Bank of Japan board members discussing the potential for the Japanese central bank to raise interest rates again at some stage later in the year, and then President Trump unveiling more aggressive tariffs on countries such as Brazil (50% tariff), which renewed trader concerns that the US economy may be more negatively impacted by his trade policies. This sent USDJPY to a low of 145.75 this morning before recovering to slightly higher levels (146.25 0700 BST). Looking forward, trade deals and Trump tariff headlines/social media posts may continue to influence where USDJPY moves into the Friday close, as could the technical outlook ahead of a busy week for scheduled events started on Monday July 14th. Technical Update: USDJPY Back to Important Resistance? Since posting the 142.68 July 1st low, USDJPY has rallied strongly, seeing a more than 3% recovery in 6 sessions. This may mean some traders are looking for a more sustained price advance, but as the chart below shows, the latest price strength might only now be back to a resistance focus between the 147.09/147.64 levels. These levels are equal to a combination of the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the January 10th to April 22nd decline at 147.09, and the downtrend that connects the highs seen on April 3rd, May 12th and June 23rd, which currently stands at 147.64. So far at least, this resistance area has capped the latest price strength. Much will depend on future market sentiment and price trends, but it's possible closing breaks above the 147.09/64 resistance range may be required to suggest potential for a further phase of price strength towards 149.33, the higher 50%, even 151.57 the 61.8% retracements. What if Resistance at 147.09/64 Continues to Hold? Of course, the 147.09/64 resistance is currently holding price strength and could even prompt fresh weakness. As such, it could be suggested a more balanced sideways trading range is currently in place, with the latest price strength now back to the upper limit resistance at 147.09/64 . If this is the case, it is possible price weakness might now emerge, with closing breaks under support at 145.10, the Bollinger mid-average, potentially suggesting further declines are possible towards 143.20, which is the uptrend connecting the recent lows, which also possibly marks the lower limits of the current sideways price range.
