Gold Price Analysis May 26After a correction, the D candle on the following day confirmed a strong price increase towards ATH in the near future
The barrier to reach the all-time peak is not much and it is difficult to have a downtrend at the present time
The gold price increase in the early Asian session met with a price reaction at the Gap opening zone around 3356. With the candle's force, it is completely possible to push the price up to 3364 in the late Asian session or early European session. The nearest lower border is noted around the Asian session resistance zone this morning at 3335-3336. If 3364 does not break in the European session, it can give a pretty good SELL signal with a target of 333x and deeper at 321x. If it breaks 3264, it confirms a strong uptrend and only BUYs and does not look for a SELL point. The resistance until the target of 3405. 3191-3292 still plays a daily support role for any prolonged price decline of Gold

Trade Reflection & Overview – Final Thoughts on the Day’s SetupIn this final video, I’m reflecting on the trade and the key lessons learned throughout the session. Looking back, I realize I should have taken profits when price tested the 9:33 AM fair value gap, which would have given us a nice profit. Although I expected lower prices, considering we had a bearish daily bias, I underestimated the strength of the daily fair value gap, which had already been tapped multiple times. Price held above the 50% level, and that was a strong signal for higher prices.
Additionally, the double top formation near Monday’s buy-side liquidity could have been a target for price, which adds to the case for a reversal higher. Despite missing some potential profit, we ended the day with a total of $50,723.16 in profit.
Looking ahead, the focus is on consistent trades, avoiding FOMO, and maintaining solid setups that make sense. I’m committed to sticking with MNQ for now, refining my confidence in the setups and building a steady rhythm. Once we’re fully confident and have more capital, I’ll look to take on more risk, but for now, the goal is simple — keep it consistent and avoid repeating past mistakes.
This is the year of building profitability and consistency, and I’m ready for the journey ahead.
Trade Overview:
Profit: $200
Account Balance: $50,723.16 for the day
Reflections: Missed opportunity to take profits at key levels
Next Steps: Focus on solid setups, consistency, and avoiding FOMO
Trading Plan: Sticking with MNQ for now, working on building confidence and rhythm.
Position Management – Consolidation and Missed Exit OpportunityPosition Management – Consolidation, Inverse Head & Shoulders, and Missed Exit Opportunity
In this video, we continue managing the position, which remains in consolidation. Price taps the 50% level where we took our first partial, retraces higher, and taps the inverse fair value gap that previously held support for the sell-off. From there, we rush lower to the 9:33 AM fair value gap, finding instant support and bouncing just shy of the 50% mark of that gap.
This is also coinciding with the 25% level of the daily fair value gap. As price trades up to the 7.05 area, we create a triple top before moving lower again, but it’s been choppy and ugly. At around 11:00 AM, I reflect on how taking profits at the first test of the 9:33 AM fair value gap would've been the ideal move, putting us up around $380.
We’re now observing a potential inverse head and shoulders forming, with the 9:33 AM fair value gap as the head and the 50% area as the higher right shoulder, suggesting a reversal for higher prices.
Trade Overview:
Price Action: Choppy movement, with multiple taps of key levels
Key Levels: 9:33 AM fair value gap, 50% of fair value gap, 25% daily fair value gap
Pattern: Observing an inverse head and shoulders setup forming
Exit Reflection: Considering missed opportunity to take profits at 11:00 AM.
Position Management – Price Consolidation & FVG SupportIn this video, we continue managing the position after taking our first partial. Price consolidates around the 50% retracement level before pushing lower to the 21,188.75 level, which aligns with the 9:33 AM fair value gap we identified earlier. We find support here, and at this point, we’re still hoping to see a continuation lower.
However, the inverse fair value gap only holds for a few more points before the price reverses against us. This ultimately takes us out of the position, but we still lock in a profit of $65 from the trade.
Trade Overview:
Price Action: Consolidation near 50%, then lower to 21,188.75 (9:33 AM fair value gap)
Support: Price found support at the fair value gap level before reversing
Exit: Stopped out with $65 profit as the inverse fair value gap failed to hold.
Trade Management – First Partial at 50% of the TrendIn this video, we’re already inside the 10 AM trade from the previous setup. At this point, we’re up 290 ticks, and we’re managing the position carefully. To mitigate risk, we decided to take our first partial near the 50% retracement of the trend, just in case the price reversed and went against us.
This step allowed us to lock in some profit while still leaving room for the trade to continue in our favor.
Trade Overview:
Profit: +290 ticks
Partial: First partial taken at 50% retracement of the trend
Risk Management: Protecting against potential reversal while staying in the trade.
Pre-9:45 PMI Trade – Executing the Sell and Managing In this trade, we executed a sell before the Flash PMI at 9:45 AM, following our setup and market analysis. We were in the trade and managed it until we were stopped out, at which point we stayed out of the market until after the PMI release.
Once the 10 AM candle opened, we observed price action closely, waiting for manipulation. Our focus was on potential higher wick manipulation before the actual distribution of the 10 AM candle. This setup provided us with the opportunity to get into the market once the manipulation played out.
Trade Overview:
Entry: Pre-9:45 PMI sell
Exit: Stopped out, then waited for the 10 AM candle manipulation
Bias: Watching for higher wick manipulation and potential distribution after PMI release.
BTCUSD UPDATE - 22- 05- 2025This chart illustrates a potential rising wedge pattern in the Bitcoin/USDT (BTC/USDT) 45-minute timeframe on Binance. Here's a breakdown of the key elements:
Chart Analysis:
Rising Wedge Pattern (Bearish):
The price is moving within converging trend lines (marked in blue), forming a rising wedge — typically a bearish reversal pattern.
The projected breakdown (blue arrow) suggests a move downward out of the wedge.
Support Zone (Yellow Box):
A strong historical support zone is highlighted, around the $103,000–$104,500 range.
This is the likely target if the price breaks down from the wedge.
Bearish Target:
If the breakdown occurs, the price may fall to the yellow support zone.
Volume spikes on recent candles suggest increasing interest or volatility.
Stop Loss Zone (Red Area):
The red shaded area at the top of the wedge likely represents a stop-loss for a short trade setup.
Current Price: Around $110,708.20 at the time of the snapshot.
Summary:
The chart implies a potential short opportunity based on the rising wedge breakdown, targeting the yellow support zone. Confirmation would be needed from a strong bearish candle closing below the lower wedge boundary with increased volume.

MNQ 5.20.25 Trade Idea (2)Execution, Risk management and Profit taking shown live in the next 3 posts I am about to share with you guys.
I wanted to use that 4H 10am Low as an entry and we caught it. Now we are watching to see if that was just a manipulation to trade into that bearish FVG I outlined near that Buyside liquidity area we were targetting.
Closing the day out with $110 in profits, Which you will see on Video #3
MNQ Trade Idea Continuation (3)Continuation into the trade idea we were sharing, we traded through the Daily high level we were targetting of 21,404.75 then rushed lower under the Trendline Phantom line and under the IFVG that was used as support for price to reach 21,419.75.
Will this be another manipulation below 21,362.00 lows before continuation higher, or should I have set a TP at the 21,404.75 highs and called it a day?
European Stocks Rise Amid Positive NewsEuropean stock markets are experiencing a steady rise, buoyed by a series of encouraging developments that have boosted investor confidence and driven share prices higher. This wave of optimism is being fueled by both internal economic signals and an improving global environment, including stabilized interest rates and signs of a business rebound.
What's Driving the Growth?
One of the primary catalysts behind the rally is recent economic data showing a slowdown in inflation across the eurozone, alongside a revival in consumer demand. These indicators have strengthened expectations that the European Central Bank may soon pivot from a tight monetary stance to a more accommodative approach. Investors have welcomed these signals as evidence that the regional economy is adjusting well to challenging conditions and avoiding a deeper downturn.
Additionally, stronger-than-expected quarterly earnings reports have played a key role in lifting stock prices, particularly in the banking, technology, and industrial sectors. Major players such as Siemens, BNP Paribas, and SAP have posted solid gains, reflecting broader confidence in corporate resilience.
Renewed Investor Interest in Europe
Improving macroeconomic indicators are drawing renewed attention to European assets. With risks appearing more contained and equity yields remaining attractive, many investors are beginning to view the region as a compelling opportunity. Stock exchanges in Germany, France, and the Netherlands have stood out, showing consistent growth and high trading volumes.
Geopolitical factors are also contributing to the market’s upbeat tone. Gradual normalization of trade relations with key partners and the strengthening of the euro on foreign exchange markets are adding to investor enthusiasm.
What’s Next?
Analysts suggest that if current trends continue, European indices could reach new yearly highs. Key factors to watch in the near term include upcoming central bank decisions and fresh data on GDP growth and employment. Nevertheless, the present sentiment points toward confidence in the ongoing recovery.
Conclusion
The European stock market is entering a phase of stable growth, driven by favorable economic indicators, manageable inflation, and an improving business climate. Positive news continues to give investors reasons for optimism, and if momentum holds, Europe could emerge as one of the top-performing investment regions in the coming months.
Gold Analysis March 26Candle D still shows that the battle between buyers and sellers has not yet been defeated.
3033 Plays an important role in the current downtrend structure. H4 Closes above the 3033 zone, officially breaking the wave and giving priority to the BUY side.
Gold is pushing up and wants to break the dynamic resistance of 3027. Closes above 3027, gold is heading towards 3033-3035. If it does not break this zone, you can SELL to 3005 and if the US breaks 3005, hold to 2983. If the 3033 zone is broken, wait for BUY to break 3033, the daily target is towards 3045.
MNQ 9:30 Open Trade Idea 💡 Trade Idea shown live here, beautiful setup that was respected very nicely during the 9:30 open.
The area we pointed out on the previous video:
Where I stated price was likely trading up to fill in that FVG before dropping lower was respected perfectly. I was rendering the video above when it happened. Hence, why you see me enter late here.
I could have been more patient and waited to enter at the 50% of the bearish fvg level. But regardless, I was able to profit $31 and make back the $30 I was in drawdown for. Had this been NQ we would've made over $695 on this one trade.
This is teaching us discernment in our decision making and how to trust our bias and trade ideas.
We caught over 130 points on this one MNQ trade and the potential was over 400 points as shown on this video.
We were targeting the bullish 1h fvg and sellside liquidity (equal lows)

The price has bounced multiple times from support and faced repeated rejections at resistance, highlighting a strong consolidation phase.
The Stochastic RSI is oversold, indicating that a potential reversal from support could be in play. If buyers step in at this level, DOT may attempt another move toward the resistance zone.
