GBPUSD Analysis: Bullish Breakout from Falling WedgEThe forex pair GBPUSD is currently trading at 1.25600, with a target price set at 1.28000, indicating a potential gain of over 200 pips. The price action showcases a falling wedge pattern, a bullish reversal formation, which has already broken out to the upside. This breakout confirms a shift in momentum, aligning with the bullish prediction made in prior analysis. Falling wedges typically suggest decreasing bearish pressure, paving the way for buyers to dominate. The breakout signifies a strong upward move, reinforcing confidence in the target price. Traders may see this as an opportunity to capitalize on the bullish trend. However, market conditions, such as economic data or geopolitical events, should still be monitored. Proper risk management remains essential to mitigate potential losses. This setup highlights the importance of technical analysis in identifying profitable trading opportunities.
TSM: Growth and Charts Align for 15%+ Target?Hey Realistic Traders, Will NYSE:TSM Create a New All-Time High? Let’s Dive In....
TSMC is the world’s largest contract chipmaker. Recent Earning Call reported whooping third quarter revenue of $759.69 billion, marking a YoY increase of 36.5%. The performance is beating the market forecast. Double Digit Revenue Growth is driven by demand for AI Chips especially with major client like NVIDIA & Apple and 3-nanometer &5 nanometer technology in Smartphones. TSMC Chief Financial Officer Huang Renzhao shared optimistic project for the company. TSMC expect Q4 quarterly revenue growth of approximately 13%, sligtly above the market the market expectation.
Strong AI-Related demand predicted to persist for year, inlined with the company’s perfomance and expectation. The positive sentiment support our bullish call on NVIDIA.
Technical Analysis
On the daily timeframe, TSM has remained above the EMA200 line for over a year, maintaining its bullish trend. On August 5, 2024, TSM rebounded impulsively from the EMA200 line after completing an ABC correction pattern, signaling the start of a new bullish wave.
The second and fourth corrective waves have retraced to the Fibonacci 0.382 and 0.618 golden ratios, respectively, aligning with Elliott Wave rules that typically indicate further upward movement.
In addition to the Elliott Wave analysis, a breakout from a Descending Broadening Wedge pattern has been identified. Such breakouts often signal the continuation of the prevailing market trend.
Therefore based on these technical analysis, I foresee a potential upward movement toward the first target at $217.85 or second target at 234.46
This outlook remains valid as long as the price holds above the stop-loss level at 177.95

XRP/USDT Bullish Pennant Formation in ProgressThe chart illustrates a textbook Bullish Pennant pattern, suggesting the potential for upward price movement. Currently, the price action is encountering resistance near the upper trendline, indicating that a breakout may require additional consolidation.
Key Observations
1. The pennant formation remains structurally intact, with the price consolidating within a narrowing range.
2. A confirmed breakout above the upper trendline is essential to validate the bullish thesis and initiate a sustainable upward move.
3. Upon a successful breakout, the projected target lies between $2.80 and $3.00, aligning with historical resistance levels.
Strategic Implications
Patience and discipline are paramount. Monitor closely for a decisive breakout with strong volume confirmation. Until then, be prepared for further consolidation or a potential retest of the lower trendline as the market gathers momentum.

Bitcoin - A quarter of a million dollars - is it possible?Good Morning, Good Evening!
A new year brings new candles, new opportunities and new challenges. I decided to write down my new thoughts and, where appropriate, reflect on my previous analyses.
Naturally, my primary focus is on the asset that leads the cryptocurrency market – Bitcoin.
I must mention that I am not someone with formal education in this field. I am self-taught, placing a strong emphasis on using Technical Analysis as the main component of my decision-making process. This stems from my belief that although the chart is difficult to read, it largely allows for the interpretation of the hidden intentions of "smart money." I want to stress that the following words reflect only my personal point of view, which may not be correct, and that this publication is by no means investment or educational advice as understood by any law regulating such matters. I simply intend to ramble about topics I don’t fully understand.
Background
Since its inception, Bitcoin has been in a continuous long-term upward trend. Throughout this time, there have been four minor reaccumulation structures and four major ones, occurring chronologically. Each structure has taken progressively longer to form, and the upward trend has been gradually flattening over time.
Technical Analysis and Thoughts
In this analysis, I will apply tools from volume analysis, Wyckoff methodology, Volume Spread Analysis (VSA), and Elliott Wave Theory.
At the beginning, I will refer to an analysis I published about a year and a half ago on this platform: "Comparative Analysis of BTC," 24.09.2023 (links attached).
Looking back at my previous analysis, I see that my reasoning and chosen tools were correct. As is often the case in attempts to master the market using Technical Analysis, the price action deviated from the expected scenario. However, the primary trend remained intact.
I missed certain key structures, such as the Spring, which I would interpret differently today. But I will get to that later.
The key resistance levels, derived from price structure and Fibonacci extensions, appear to have been recognized by the market. The price stalled just below the resistance level at 2.618, an extension based on the Spring-Buying Exhaustion range from 2015 and 2017/2018 reaccumulation phases.
Similarly, the external measurement of 1.618, calculated from the 2017/2018 Spring to the 2021 Upthrust, was respected by market participants. Both levels align perfectly with significant price points.
I mentioned that today I would approach the topic differently. This is due to the revealed market structure (it's always easier to analyze when you can see everything, right? 😉) as well as the experience I've gained by continuously expanding my analytical horizon.
Looking at the latest high-order reaccumulation structure (December 2021 – March 2024), I realize I made an error in my interpretation. The overall price action indicates a lack of supply around the $16K level.
Interestingly, BTC/USDT on Binance shows significant accumulation, which I deduce from Bag Holding candles.
The core point of my argument is that I have witnessed the formation of a large accumulation structure, whose elements align with the Wyckoff methodology. The market behaved as expected based on this interpretation.
One particularly important element is the Last Point of Supply (LPS), represented by the March 2024 – November 2024 reaccumulation phase. I discussed this process in detail in my September 6, 2024 publication titled "Bitcoin – Technical Analysis."
The ~250-day trading range, during which the price was stuck, allowed Smart Money to accumulate assets from those willing to sell. Despite the temporary stagnation, which I currently observe, the upward trend will likely continue.
The strength of this trend is confirmed by the use of volume-weighted average price (VWAP) anchored to the Test of Phase C, according to Wyckoff's methodology.
When analyzing the three most recent tests in the three highest-order reaccumulation structures, I observe that the price moves within a channel defined by the second and third standard deviations.
I think that the current sideways structure is a Back Up to the Creek from the latest high-order reaccumulation phase. Its characteristics resemble a reaccumulation phase.
At this stage, I am unsure whether this structure will directly lead to a breakout to significantly higher price levels, or whether it will result in an Upthrust of a higher-order structure, followed by another Spring.
The structure shows declining volume and several Bag Holding candles, marked with green arrows on my chart.
The Upthrust does not exhibit distribution characteristics but instead suggests a lack of demand.
The candle marked with a question mark is interesting due to its dual nature. However, upon closer examination of the 4-hour interval, it appears to be an Upthrust of a lower-tier structure, aimed at absorbing supply.
I want to highlight the relationship between the Test of Phase C and the structure forming along previous peaks.
Considering the two most recent reaccumulation phases, the situation is as follows:
I do not take into account overly optimistic price movements that exceed the 8.0 external retracement level, due to the flattening of the global trend over time.
Instead, I consider more realistic targets based on Fibonacci levels, such as 3.618 and 2.618 extensions, indicating a price range between $170K and $230K.
In my September 24, 2023 analysis, I mentioned $240K as a 3.618 external retracement level measured from March 2020 to October 2021.
Using 1:1 geometry, I estimate that the price could reach around $250K, which aligns with my other methods.
Conclusion of the Analysis
I have presented various methods to identify the direction and potential range of Bitcoin's price movement.
Although it is difficult to pinpoint the exact peak of the trend, the analysis provides sufficient signals to expect supply levels within the indicated price ranges.
Confirmation of a trend reversal would require a high-order distribution structure visible on higher time frames.
Final Thoughts
I have intentionally referred to my previous analyses to maintain continuity and to highlight both successes and mistakes.
The purpose of this reflection is to improve my analytical process by identifying what I did well and where I need to focus more in future analyses.
I believe that Technical Analysis, practiced for over a century, holds a certain beauty and logic. The process of applying it, and reaping its rewards, is an intellectual delight.
Ultimately, the weakest link is not the tool, but the person using it. Therefore, continuous improvement and patience are essential. The chart is the only reliable source that reveals the intentions of Smart Money or Composite Man, depending on the interpretation of market personality.
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read my thoughts. I hope you found them insightful, and that your time was well spent.
Wishing you health, perseverance, and successful trades.
May you master the art of recognizing well-formed market structures.

Block (SQ): Preparing for a Breakout Year in 2025NYSE:SQ is shaping up to either become one of the top picks for 2025 or face a potentially challenging year ahead.
From the monthly chart, NYSE:SQ has mostly traded between $100–$35 since its IPO in 2015. While the $35 level seems unlikely to be revisited anytime soon, the current focus is on reclaiming the Value Area High (VAH) at $100. Success here could trigger strong percentage gains over the next few months.
We’re adopting a cautious approach, closely monitoring the chart. On the lower time frame, NYSE:SQ is sitting in a key support/resistance zone (highlighted as a yellow box). Ideally, we want to see a break above the Value Area Low (VAL) and the completion of a smaller 5-wave cycle, marking the end of wave (i). A bearish divergence on the RSI at this stage would add confluence. Following this, a pullback could provide the perfect entry point for a long position.
At this time, we haven’t placed a limit order. A break below $55 would be a critical red flag, suggesting potential bearish developments, though this scenario seems unlikely without unexpected negative news.

TradeCityPro | ICPUSDT Missed the Market Move? Don’t FOMO👋 Welcome to TradeCityPro Channel!
Let’s analyze the market during a day when it has finally shown some movement, focusing on coins with clear triggers.
💥 Avoid FOMO
The reason we create daily content for this community is to emphasize the importance of analyzing the market daily and identifying triggers before taking trades. This prevents you from acting impulsively and becoming a profit target for others who entered earlier.
🌐 Overview Bitcoin
Before analyzing today’s altcoin, let’s quickly review Bitcoin on the 1-hour timeframe. As mentioned yesterday, Bitcoin’s movement was predicted. After breaking the 98606 trigger, a long position with a stop loss at 97343 was suggested, considering the potential for whale-driven moves at higher levels.
Additionally, if Bitcoin dominance broke the 57.08 resistance, opening positions on Bitcoin was the preferred approach. Otherwise, a switch to altcoins was recommended.
Here’s my position: R/R 3. The triggers I share are the same ones I use in my trades. Remember, not every day requires action!
If you missed the move, should you open a long position after breaking 102208? Not yet. While the current timeframe suggests caution due to overbought conditions, you can consider this on the 15-minute chart. My recommendation: focus on identifying altcoin triggers to stay ahead of the market.
📊 Weekly Timeframe
ICP has seen a significant move since its support at 2.868, rallying by around 400%. Recently, it has consolidated and established strong support at 6.603, which aligns with the 0.5 Fibonacci level and the 50% Dow Theory level, highlighting its importance.
If you entered at lower levels, consider taking out your initial investment or exiting below 6.603. If you bought after the 9.684 breakout, patience is key. Given the potential for an early breakout above 14.879, maintain a stop loss at 6.603.
For re-entry, a break above 9.684 signifies a lift-off from the midline of its horizontal range, suggesting a stronger likelihood of breaking 14.879. Increased volume confirmation post-breakout can validate a buying opportunity.
Let’s address the fake breakout at 14.879. Unlike the 2.868 level, which saw sustained price action and a move upwards post-daily box formation, the 14.879 breakout was merely a single candle spike followed by an immediate reversal.
📈 Daily Timeframe
ICP remains in its large range box, oscillating between 6.691 and 15.22. A sharp move is expected upon breaking either the upper or lower boundary of this range.
ICP has already begun moving after breaking its smaller box resistance at 9.834. It has retested this breakout, unlike some coins that re-enter their boxes, underscoring ICP's bullish momentum compared to peers.
Currently, ICP faces resistance at 12.409, which was previously ignored but has regained significance. Staying above 11.281 provides an opportunity for small preemptive buys, but the main trigger remains 15.22.
⏱ 4-Hour Timeframe
ICP’s chart looks promising, as it has broken out of its 4-hour box and is consolidating below the next resistance level, presenting a potential entry trigger.
Drawing Fibonacci levels from the start of the drop reveals reactions at all levels. Currently below 0.618, breaking this level could propel ICP to the 13.697 resistance. Remaining above 11.333 and the 0.382 Fibonacci level highlights the importance of the 12.476 resistance.
📈 Long Position Trigger
If you didn’t open a position at 11.333, it’s still fine. Momentum has entered this chart. After breaking 12.476, you can open a long position with a tighter stop. Ensure volume increases and RSI enters overbought territory to manage risk.
📉 Short Position Trigger
Currently, I’m not planning any short positions. If 12.476 faces a fake breakout and reverses, I’ll look for short setups in lower timeframes using a fake breakout strategy.

Stay calm, trade wisely, and let's capture the market's best opportunities!

Analyzing XAUUSD: Support and Resistance Dynamics Driving a BullXAUUSD, representing the price of gold against the US dollar, is currently trading at 2635 with an anticipated target price of 2800. The price movement is based on the support and resistance pattern, where the current price is bouncing off a strong support level. This suggests that buyers are stepping in at this level, preventing further declines and creating upward momentum. The support level at 2635 is critical, indicating strong buying interest, while the target price of 2800 reflects bullish sentiment. This pattern demonstrates the interplay of technical levels, with the price expected to rise as it moves toward resistance zones. Traders anticipate a potential breakout above intermediate resistance levels as the price progresses toward the target. The market sentiment is supported by gold's status as a safe-haven asset, attracting investors during uncertain economic conditions. To confirm the upward move, traders may use additional technical indicators like RSI or MACD. However, risk management strategies, such as stop-loss orders below the support level, are essential to mitigate potential losses. Overall, XAUUSD is poised for an upward trajectory, highlighting the importance of support and resistance dynamics in forex trading.
Textbook Reversal Setup: Liquidity Zone + Channel BreakReversal Setup Analysis: HTF Liquidity Zone + Ascending Channel Breakdown
This chart highlights a high-probability bearish reversal setup based on key technical confluences. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the analysis:
1. High-Timeframe (HTF) Liquidity Zone (LQZ):
- The red zone marks a major HTF supply area where price previously rejected with a strong impulsive move downward. This liquidity zone is critical as it represents an area where institutional players have shown activity, creating a high-probability region for a potential reversal.
- As price approached this zone again, it did so in a corrective manner (via an ascending channel), which indicates weakening bullish momentum.
2. Impulsive vs. Corrective Structures:
- Impulsive Move: The strong move away from the HTF LQZ (highlighted earlier in the chart) confirms bearish intent, serving as a key reference point for this trade idea.
Corrective Structure: The price forms an ascending channel on the way back to retest the HTF LQZ, signaling exhaustion of buyers.
- The third touch of the channel’s trendline coincides with the HTF LQZ, adding confluence for a potential bearish reversal.
3. Liquidity Zones in Play:
- HTF Liquidity Zone (Supply): Serves as the key resistance level and primary rejection zone.
- 15-Minute Liquidity Zone (Demand): Acts as a potential target for bearish momentum post-breakdown.
- This multi-timeframe liquidity alignment strengthens the trade idea by providing clear areas of interest for entry, stop-loss, and take-profit placement.
4. Breakdown Entry and Structure:
- Entry Trigger: The trade is triggered on the break of structure, where price falls through the lower boundary of the ascending channel. This breakdown confirms bearish momentum resuming after the corrective phase.
- Stop-Loss Placement: Ideally placed above the HTF liquidity zone and beyond the third touch of the channel to account for potential fake-outs.
- Take-Profit Levels: Targets can be set near the 15M liquidity zone or prior swing lows for a solid risk-to-reward ratio.
5. Key Takeaways:
- This setup offers an excellent example of combining HTF liquidity zones, structural patterns, and market context to develop a high-probability trade idea. The rejection from the HTF LQZ aligns with the broader bearish narrative, while the ascending channel acts as a corrective structure leading to a continuation of the downward move.
- By focusing on confluence factors like liquidity zones, impulsive vs. corrective moves, and structural breaks, this trade idea demonstrates a disciplined and strategic approach to trading reversals.
Educational Insights:
- Always zoom out to identify HTF zones of significance to ensure alignment with the larger market context.
- Differentiate between impulsive and corrective structures to gauge the strength and intent of price movements.
- Use pattern confluences (e.g., ascending channels) in combination with key zones to identify high-probability entries.
- Prioritize patience and discipline by waiting for clear structural breaks to confirm your setup.
USDJPY → Consolidating Before the Next Rally.Hello, dear friends! Ben here!
USD/JPY is consolidating after a strong bullish run, fluctuating around the 157.75 level.
The Japanese Yen continues to weaken amid wavering expectations regarding a potential rate hike by the Bank of Japan (BoJ). The Jibun Bank Japan Services PMI was revised lower to 50.9 from 51.4 in December. Meanwhile, the US Dollar remains near a two-year high, supported by the Fed's hawkish shift, further bolstering the USD/JPY pair.
Currently, the focus is on the consolidation phase, which has been forming over the past few weeks. We have clear boundaries, trends, and key levels to guide our trading decisions.
For me, the trigger lies at the 158 resistance level. A breakout and price consolidation above this level would confirm that the pair is ready to push higher. This rally is expected to reach the upper boundary of the ascending channel around 159, completing wave 5 within the channel.
Regards !
GOLD Update: Should I buy it?OANDA:XAUUSD continues to attract attention even as the US dollar strengthens, fueled by ongoing geopolitical and economic crises that drive demand for safe-haven assets. Prices are consolidating above previous resistance levels and are pushing toward establishing new local highs.
As for gold's price volatility, the upcoming week will feature several key US economic data releases, including employment reports and the Federal Reserve's meeting minutes. These updates are expected to provide investors with greater clarity on the Fed's monetary policy, especially following projections of interest rate cuts in 2025.
Regarding the gold strategy for the new week, Ben personally prioritizes buying strategies if the price remains within the wedge, targeting at least the upper boundary of the price channel. This anticipated upward move is expected to reach the level of 2690.
GBPUSD Analysis: Falling Wedge Pattern and Potential 500+ Pips The forex pair GBPUSD is currently trading at 1.247, with a target price set at 1.290, presenting a potential gain of 500+ pips. The market is forming a falling wedge pattern, a bullish technical setup that often signals a potential breakout to the upside. This pattern indicates a gradual narrowing of price movement, with sellers losing momentum and buyers preparing for a reversal. Traders are closely watching for a breakout above the wedge, which would confirm the bullish bias. A breakout could trigger significant upward movement, aligning with the target price. This setup provides an attractive risk-to-reward opportunity for buyers. However, confirmation through price action and volume is essential before entering a trade. Risk management is critical due to forex market volatility. Monitoring momentum indicators can help validate the expected breakout. The next move depends on how the pair reacts at key resistance levels.
