Quantum's ZIM Trading Guide 4/8/25
NYSE:ZIM
(ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd.) - Sector: Industrials (Shipping)
Sentiment:
--Bearish (slight softening). Pre-market put volume softened, RSI likely ~35 (down from ~38 with a -2.8% drop from $12.9608 to $12.591), X posts overnight mixed—tariff fears dominate, but LNG fleet news (10 new 11,500 TEU vessels announced April 8) offers faint hope, suggesting a less aggressive sell-off than March’s lows.
Tariff Impact:
--Severe. 10% universal tariffs raise fuel and container costs, with 46% Vietnam tariffs threatening Asia-U.S. routes (70%+ revenue). Sentiment overshadows fundamentals, though LNG fleet modernization and freight rate resilience provide a slight buffer.
News/Catalysts:
--Consumer Credit (April 8) could signal trade demand—weak data may deepen ZIM’s slide; X posts on the $2.3B LNG charter deal (announced April 8) and potential freight rate stabilization (e.g., Red Sea tensions) might spark a relief rally today.
Technical Setup:
--Weekly Chart:
---HVN near $15 as resistance (March 25 high: $15.2512), weekly low ~$12.4106 as support
---Downtrend (8-week EMA < 13-week < 48-week, reflecting $12–$20 range since March).
---RSI ~35 (weakening, near oversold),
---MACD below signal (histogram narrowing),
---Bollinger Bands at lower band,
---Donchian Channels below midline,
---Williams %R -80 (oversold).
-One-Hour Chart:
---Support at $12.81 (April 7 prev. close proxy), resistance at $13.547 (April 7 high), weekly confluence.
---RSI ~37, MACD below signal (histogram less negative),
---Bollinger Bands at lower band,
--- Donchian Channels below midline,
---Williams %R -78 (easing from oversold).
-10-Minute Chart:
---Pre-market drop to $12.591, 8/13/48 EMAs down, RSI ~35, MACD flat near zero.
Options Data:
--GEX: Bearish (softening)—pinning near $12.9608 eases pre-market, dealers less aggressive.
--DEX: Bearish—put delta leads but with reduced intensity.
--IV: High—~55–60% vs. norm 45–50%, reflecting tariff-driven volatility.
--OI: Put-heavy—OI concentrated below $13, capping upside momentum.
Directional Bias: Bearish (softening). GEX’s fading pinning reduces downside lock, DEX’s put delta sustains selling but softens, high IV supports volatility without sharp drops, and put-heavy OI anchors lower—bearish with less conviction.
Sympathy Plays:
--SBLK (Star Bulk Carriers): Falls if ZIM dumps (shipping correlation), rises if ZIM rebounds.
--MATX (Matson, Inc.): Drops with ZIM downside, gains if ZIM recovers.
--Opposite Mover: ZIM dumps → defensives like KO rally; ZIM rallies → SBLK/MATX surge.
Sector Positioning with RRG:
--Sector: Industrials (Shipping)
---RRG Position: Lagging Quadrant (slight improvement). ZIM’s pre-market softening from $12.9608 eases its lag vs. XLI, buoyed by LNG news.
Targets: Bullish +4% ($13.50, hourly resistance); Bearish -5% ($12.00, near April low).
Quantum's BAC Trading Guide 4/8/25BAC (Bank of America Corporation) - Sector: Financials (Banking)
Sentiment:
--Neutral (slight bullish tilt). Pre-market options lean call-heavy, RSI likely ~48 (up from ~45 with +1.8% from $35.58 to $36.23), X posts overnight mixed—rate fears vs. recovery hopes—suggesting a bounce from $34.19 (April 4).
Tariff Impact:
--Moderate. 10% tariffs could hit loan demand (trade-sensitive clients), but BAC’s diversified revenue softens impact. Sentiment drives here.
News/Catalysts:
--Consumer Credit (April 8) key—strong data could lift BAC; X posts on banking resilience or tariff delays might boost today.
Technical Setup:
-Weekly Chart:
---HVN near $37 as resistance, weekly low ~$34 as support (April 4: $34.19).
---Sideways (8-week EMA ≈ 13-week ≈ 48-week, reflecting $35–$40 range).
---RSI ~48 (neutral),
---MACD near signal (histogram flat),
---Bollinger Bands near midline,
---Donchian Channels at midline,
---Williams %R -50 (neutral).
-One-Hour Chart:
---Support at $35.58 (prev. close), resistance at $36.68 (day high), weekly alignment.
---RSI ~50, MACD near signal (histogram flat),
---Bollinger Bands near midline,
---Donchian Channels at midline,
---Williams %R -48 (neutral).
-10-Minute Chart:
---Pre-market uptick to $36.23, 8/13/48 EMAs flat-to-up, RSI ~52,
---MACD flat near zero.
Options Data:
--GEX: Neutral (slight bullish tilt)—pinning shifts mildly upward.
--DEX: Neutral (slight bullish tilt)—call delta edges out puts.
--IV: Low—~20–25% vs. norm 25–30%, steady post-drop.
--OI: Balanced (slight call tilt)—OI leans above $36.
--Directional Bias: Neutral (slight bullish tilt). GEX’s mild upward pinning, DEX’s call delta hint at buying, low IV limits big swings, and slight call-heavy OI nudges up—neutral with a bullish edge.
Sympathy Plays:
--JPM (JPMorgan Chase): Rises if BAC gains, falls if BAC fades.
--WFC (Wells Fargo): Gains with BAC upside, drops if BAC weakens.
--Opposite Mover: BAC rallies → cyclicals like ALK fade; BAC dumps → JPM/WFC soften.
Sector Positioning with RRG: --- Financials (Banking).
--RRG Position: Improving Quadrant. BAC’s bounce from $34.19 lifts it vs. XLF.
Targets: Bullish +2% ($36.95, hourly resistance); Bearish -2% ($35.50, hourly support).
Quantum's IWM Trading Guide 4/8/25IWM (iShares Russell 2000 ETF) - Sector: Broad Small-Cap ETF (Russell 2000)
Sentiment:
--Bearish (softening). Pre-market put volume eased, RSI 44 up from 42, X posts overnight hint at an oversold bounce despite tariff fears, suggesting a less dire tone.
Tariff Impact:
--Moderate. Industrials/financials exposure persists.
News/Catalysts:
--Consumer Credit (April 8) could spark a relief rally if strong; X posts on tariff delays offer faint hope, though bearish bias lingers.

---IV: Moderate—25–30% vs. 20–25% norm, steady volatility.
---OI: Put-heavy—high OI below close persists.
---Directional Bias: Bearish (softening). GEX’s reduced pinning suggests less dealer-driven downside, DEX’s put delta bias weakens, moderate IV supports some volatility but not extreme moves, and put-heavy OI anchors prices lower—still bearish but with less conviction.
Sympathy Plays:
--TNA (Direxion Small Cap Bull 3X): Falls 3x if IWM dumps, rises if IWM rebounds.

Gold Analysis April 7The D1 candle on Friday clearly identified selling pressure and the amount of fomo pushed the price to 2972.
The H4 structure is still showing that the downward force will continue to be maintained when 3054 was rejected by the buyers.
Back to the trading plan The 3018 and 3035 border areas are considered sideways compression borders. If the price breaks 3018, wait for a retest and sell to 3003. If the US session breaks 3003, then push to 2955.
If the 3018 border remains strong, wait for a break of 3035 to BUY to the exchange price zone of 3054. BUY signals for short-term city and are considered to be against the trend at the moment. When the US session fails to break 3055, you can sell and hold long. If it breaks 3055, waiting for 3080 to sell will be safer than fomo to BUY against the trend.
KSE 100 BULLISH OR BEARISH?KSE 100 is also bleeding as the global markets sell off. But the key indicator right now is to look at EMA 21 at weekly time frame on all big stocks and index. if we see a good bounce from ema 21 we might see volumes coming in big stocks. enjoy the show being played globally!
Quantum's BAC Ultimate Weekly OutlookBAC (Bank of America Corporation) - Sector: Financials (Banking)
Sentiment: Bearish. Put volume rises, RSI 45 weakens, X posts note banking fears from tariffs/economic uncertainty.

News/Catalysts: Banking sentiment shifts on X. Consumer Credit (April 8) could signal credit trends.
Technical Setup:
Weekly Chart: HVN above as resistance, weekly low as support. Downtrend (8-week EMA < 13-week < 48-week). RSI 45 (neutral, fading), MACD below signal (negative histogram widening), Bollinger Bands near lower band, Donchian Channels below midline, Williams %R -68 (nearing oversold).
One-Hour Chart: Support below, resistance near highs, weekly alignment. RSI 42, MACD below signal (negative histogram growing), Bollinger Bands at lower band, Donchian Channels below midline, Williams %R -74 (close to oversold).

Sympathy Plays:
JPM (JPMorgan Chase): Moves in sync—rises if BAC takes off, falls if BAC dumps.

Gold Analysis April 4Gold is pushing up to 3116 at the end of the European session. If it breaks this zone, the possibility of an uptrend is high and heading towards 3134. Pay attention to 3080 for BUY zones in the US session and today's main BUY zone is around the 3065 price zone. Money management is the time you survive with the market.
Gold Analysis March 4Fundamental Analysis
Persistent concerns over the potential economic impact of US President Donald Trump’s tit-for-tat tariffs could act as a catalyst for the safe-haven precious metal.
Meanwhile, risk-off sentiment, coupled with expectations that a tariff-induced slowdown in the US economy could force the Federal Reserve (Fed) to resume its rate-cutting cycle early, has caused a sharp decline in US Treasury yields. This, in turn, has pushed the US dollar (USD) to its lowest level since October 2024 and helped limit the downside in non-yielding gold. Therefore, it would be prudent to wait for a sharp sell-off to confirm that XAU/USD has topped out.
Technical Analysis
Today’s trading range is likely to see a fairly high probability of a drop. If it breaks 3116, gold will find its way back to 3081. In case gold breaks the downward structure as analyzed in the upward direction, pay attention to the SELL zone around 3148-3150. Wishing everyone a successful trading day.

GOLD TRADING PLAN – After Breaking ATH & Sharp CorrectionGOLD TRADING PLAN – After Breaking ATH & Sharp Correction
🔥 Former U.S. President Donald Trump has officially announced a comprehensive global tariff policy, targeting multiple countries and regions. This sparked:
📉 A major sell-off in risk assets
💵 A sharp weakening in the U.S. Dollar
🪙 A strong rally in gold, reaching a new All-Time High (ATH) at 3167 as a preferred safe-haven asset
📉 Latest Market Reaction – Gold Corrects from ATH
After a strong bullish breakout, gold is now pulling back from its peak, driven by profit-taking and investor caution ahead of key economic data — including the upcoming Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report.
Despite the short-term pullback, the overall trend remains bullish on higher timeframes.

Yesterday, we identified and traded a symmetrical triangle pattern, which broke out sharply as expected. Now, price is retesting previous breakout zones — where new long opportunities may form.
📌 Focus on BUY setups during the Asian & EU sessions, and be cautious during the U.S. session due to expected volatility.

GBPUSD - near to his very expensive region, what's next??#GBPUSD... market just trade in range just below is most expensive region and that is market swing region as well.

means don't holds your shorts above that region.
upside we have long leg if market clear that region.

Gold Price Analysis April 2The D1 candle has a red candle and the selling pressure has started to take profit of Gold but it is still unclear.
The most recent H4 candle cluster shows 2 important price zones 3135 and 3108. Breaking this boundary will form a new trend.
Trading plan: Gold pushes to 3108 and does not break this zone in the European session, then BUY GOLD to 3124. At the end of the European session, if it breaks 3124, then keep the order to 3135 and 3164 in the US session if it breaks the resistance. If it breaks 3108, do not buy anymore but wait for Sell Break out 3108, target day 3084, pay attention to the price reaction at 3100 (resistance of last night's session). If 3100 is broken, then SELL DCA, not BUY at 3100. Scenario 2: Price does not return to 3108 first but to 3124 in the European session. If it is not broken, then SELL 3124 to 3108 and breaks the 3108 area in the US session, then the TP scenario is the same as scenario 1. If 3124 is broken, then 3135 waits for a breakout when it breaks, it will be better to SELL down today. (Note the SELL scalp point around 3142)
Gold reverses sharply after Trump's tax announcementThe world gold price has reversed sharply because the global market has just received information last night (Hanoi time) that US President Donald Trump has just signed an executive order to impose taxes on all goods imported into the US, many countries will have to pay high taxes of up to tens of percent.
Specifically, the UK, Brazil, Singapore will be subject to a 10% tax. The European Union, Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and India will be subject to 20-26%. China, Thailand, and Vietnam are among the countries subject to the highest tax rates, at 34%, 36%, and 46%, respectively. The highest is Cambodia, which will be subject to a tax rate of up to 49%. This tax rate will be applied from April 9. In addition, Mr. Trump said that a 10% import tax will be applied to all goods imported into the US from April 5.
Mr. Trump said that every year the US loses 1,200 billion USD due to the trade deficit due to 3,000 billion USD of imported goods.
After this information, the global financial market was shaken, in which the US stock market had a strong decline, losing from more than 1% to more than 2%. On the contrary, gold - an asset that ensures capital safety in case of risk - has benefited from a strong increase in price.
Many experts commented that the Trump government's tariff policy has increased global trade tensions. Previously, the US imposed tariffs on some goods from Canada, Europe and China, aluminum and steel. These countries have responded to the tariffs on the US.
GOLD - where is current support ? What's next??#GOLD... perfect move as per our discussion and now market again at his current support (that was our resistance )
Keep close the supporting region and if market holds then we can expect a further rise towarss next resistance areas.
Good luck
Trade wisely
