EURUSD 26/01/2025EU this week giving us the bullish bias that we carried over from the Tuesday morning bias change. of course Orion told us as soon as the bias changed and we stayed on its tall the whole way to its current position. as it stands we are looking for longs into the target highs we have marked on our chart, but of course without a pullback we expect price to keep running and hit our targets . if we do carry the bullish move to our targets without hitting an entry low we will look for a new low to be created to then trade up into the highs once again. but our plan currently is the lows to be ran and the current targets remain in place giving us a strong target high to aim for.
Trade safe stick to your plan and always follow Orion!
AVAX LongAvax bounced at 34.50, where there's strong support= EMA 200 on the daily chart. At the moment, we have broken the trendline and are currently testing prev week mid and monday mid also previous small rezistance.
If we manage to hold, I expect the price to shoot up to 38.96, and from there, I anticipate the price will go back to test the level of 37.68. If it holds, I’ll be opening a trade.
If you want you can buy now: TARGET - 38,90

MARKETS week ahead: January 26 – February 1Last week in the news
The US inflation is not as scary as investors previously thought. In this sense, they adjusted previous expectations and returned positive sentiment to financial markets. The US equity markets recovered from losses carried two weeks ago. The S&P 500 ended the week at the level of 5.996. The US Dollar continued to gain in strength, but due to general uncertainty, the price of gold also surged back to the $2,7K levels. The US Treasury yields reacted strongly on inflation figures, bringing back the 10Y US benchmark to the level of 4,62%. In the dawn of the US new Administration inauguration, the crypto market also reacted positively, bringing BTC back above the level of $100K.
The main event during the previous week on financial markets was related to the inauguration of a new US Administration. There was a question whether all promises from the pre-election period will be fulfilled? For one more time, markets reacted positively, bringing US equities to the higher grounds, where S&P 500 reached its fresh all-time highest level. The US Dollar weakened a bit, bringing the price of gold close to its ATH, ending the week at the level of $6.101. In anticipation of the FOMC meeting next week, the US Treasuries headed toward the upside, ending the week at the level of 4,61%. The presidential order for a formation of a cryptocurrency working group with the target to draft a new digital asset regulation, boring BTC toward the fresh, new ATH at the $109K.
During the previous week there has not been currently important macro data scheduled for a release, however, the inauguration of the new US President was the main event which shaped the market sentiment. One of the most important topics for markets was whether the new President will impose tariffs on imported goods, as promised in the pre-election period, especially tariffs on goods from China? This represents the most fearful event for investors, as they are anticipating that tariffs might bring inflation in the US toward the upside, which will affect Fed to keep interest rates at current levels longer than it is now expected. Still, the idea of tariffs still holds in the new US Administration, in which sense, the investors fear is for the moment just postponed.
One of the major moves of the new US Administration was related to the crypto market. Namely, within the first days in the office, the US President signed an presidential order for the creation of the cryptocurrency working group, whose aim will be to draft the first regulation in the US on digital assets while exploring the creation of a cryptocurrency stockpile on the national level. This order is also important as it bans the topic of creation of a central bank digital currency in the US.
With the focus of the new US Administration on the crypto, there are some major movements of the capital on the international scene. As Cointelegraph is reporting, one of the prominent venture capital companies, Andreessen Horowitz will close its office in the United Kingdom in order to focus on the US market. Its London office was opened in 2023.
As expected and announced, the Bank of Japan increased its target interest rate by 25bps to the level of 0,5%. Such a move was supported by BoJ inflation expectations in 2025 and 2026. The expected increase in rates was previously fully priced by market, in which sense, there has not been any higher movements on financial markets in Japan and US.
Crypto market cap
Another volatile week on the crypto markets which ended with a positive sentiment. All investors' eyes were on the inauguration of the new US Administration and moves which will be taken during first days in the office. For the crypto market, the most important information was related to the Presidential order for a formation of the cryptocurrency working group. This group will work in the future period on a development of the crypto regulation in the US, as well as the potential for the creation of the cryptocurrency stockpile on the national level. Such a move brought back investors confidence, bringing the total crypto market capitalization to the higher grounds as of the weekend. Still, considering the previous drop in the value, the crypto market capitalization is ending this week relatively flat, compared to the week before. There has been a small drop of nearly 1%, decreasing total crypto cap by $40B. Daily trading volumes were also modestly decreased to the level of around $200B on a daily basis, from $340B traded a week before. Total crypto market cap increase from the end of the previous year currently stands at 9%, where $300B has been added.
The majority of crypto coins finished the week in red, however, there were also several altcoins which managed to gain during the week. BTC finished the week relatively flat, compared to the week before. On the other hand, ETH lost some 3% in value, decreasing its cap by $12B. BNB was also on a losing side, dropping its value by 2,8% w/w, or $2,8B. Interestingly, Solana was among significant losers, with a drop in value of 4,7%, decreasing its cap by $6,1B. This group also includes DOGE, with a drop in value of 10% or $5,8B. The majority of other altcoins had a weekly drop around 10%. On the opposite side were coins like Tron, which gained 4,2% in value, Monero surged by 4,3% w/w. After a significant surge in the value prior to inauguration, the Trump meme coin lost 54% in value in an after-inauguration period.
When coins in circulation are in question, the highest weekly move had BNB, which decreased the number of circulating coins by 1,1%. At the same time, the number of Tether coins increased by 0,7%. Iota had a surge of 0,5% while Stellar, Algorand and Filecoin increased the number of coins on the market by 0,2% each.
Crypto futures market
The crypto futures market was a reflection of spot developments during the previous week. In this sense, BTC futures ended the week only with a small drop in prices for most of the maturities. They ended the week almost flat. In this sense, futures maturing in December this year were last traded at the level $114.040, while those maturing a year later closed the week at $123.950.
On the opposite side were ETH futures, which ended the week around 5,5% lower from the week before, for all maturities. Futures maturing in December this year were last traded at the level of $3.575, while those maturing in December 2026 for one more time dropped below the level of $ 4K, and closed the week at $3.840.

Technical Take: USD Support in Play across Key TimeframesAccording to the US Dollar (USD) Index, the USD finished the week on the ropes, down 1.8%. Despite the growing sense that US President Trump may not live up to the hype of his pre-inauguration statements – placing a question mark on USD upside – technical studies appear to favour bulls.
Long-Term Technicals Favour Bulls
Technically speaking, I have been banging the drum for monthly resistance at 109.33 for quite some time now, which, as you can see, recently entered the fray and held ground. For anyone interested, I am a staunch advocate of yearly opening levels, and 109.33 has demonstrated a solid track record as a support and resistance – extended from as far back as 2001. However, while a notable area, several technical factors support USD bulls. This includes the overall trend facing to the upside, clear (local) support at 105.91-107.39, both the 50-month (101.09) and 200-month (91.16) simple moving averages (SMAs) rotating higher (the 50-month SMA has also been north of the 200-month SMA since early 2017), and, finally, the monthly chart’s Relative Strength Index maintaining position north of the 50.00 centreline since 2021 (positive momentum), albeit scraping the threshold several times since 2023. Consequently, it would appear that sellers have their work cut out for them.
Daily and H1 Support Enters the Fight
Across the page on the daily chart, Friday wrapped up the session probing through bids at support from 107.77 (now marked resistance) and touched gloves with the 50-day SMA at 107.58, as well as a 61.8% Fibonacci retracement ratio at 107.24 (note that support is also present nearby at 107.05). Although you could argue that the earlier break of trendline support (extended from the low of 100.18) may fuel further technical downside, current support between 107.05 and 107.58 is not an area to overlook, particularly when it blends with the upper edge of monthly support (107.39). Were buyers to take control here, 107.77 resistance is an obvious hurdle before confirming a bullish scenario on the daily scale, while rupturing support could unearth another support as far south as 105.62.
Shorter-term flow on the H1 chart is in a clear downtrend, consisting of a series of lower lows and lower highs. Given the break of clear lows around 107.70ish (blue oval area), this intensified downside pressure through tripped long positions and fresh breakout selling. I have been monitoring a key support level from 107.25 for a while, and I believe it may be a platform where buyers begin building a position. This is due to where we are trading from on the bigger picture (monthly and daily support) and fresh liquidity available from the break of short-term lows at 107.70. As you can see, together with the H1 support, a 1.618% Fibonacci projection ratio at 106.86 (harmonic traders may recognise this as an ‘alternate’ AB=CD bullish setup) and a 100% projection ratio at 106.84 (equal AB=CD formation) resides below current support, which buyers may use as their lower threshold to construct a support zone with 107.25. We have already witnessed some buying from 107.25 on Friday. Still, if the daily resistance from 107.77 is consumed, this would likely encourage buying and eventually pave the way toward the monthly resistance mentioned above at 109.33, closely shadowed by another layer of daily resistance from 109.53.

BTCUSDT.4HAs we examine the 4-hour BTC/USDT chart, several critical elements come into play that shape our immediate and medium-term outlook.
Price Action and Key Levels:
The price is trading within a defined channel, constrained by an ascending support line (S1) and a strong resistance zone (R1).
The primary resistance (R1) is located at $110,392.21, a level tested multiple times but has yet to break convincingly.
On the downside, the nearest significant support level (S2) is seen at $88,452.27, coinciding with the green ascending trendline, which has provided a reliable base during recent corrections.
Chart Patterns and Scenarios:
A potential double-top formation is evident near R2, indicating a possible bearish reversal if buyers fail to regain momentum above R1.
On the bullish side, a breakout above R1 and a sustained close above $110,392.21 would likely target the next resistance zones around $115,000–$120,000.
Conversely, should the price fail to sustain its position above the green trendline (S1), we could see a deeper pullback toward S2, potentially extending into the $85,000–$90,000 range.
Indicators:
MACD (12, 26, close): The MACD histogram shows weakening bullish momentum as it approaches the zero line, hinting at potential bearish divergence.
RSI (14): RSI is hovering around the neutral zone at 53.20, indicating indecision. A drop below 50 would confirm bearish dominance, whereas a move above 60 could signal renewed buying pressure.
Trendlines and Volume:
The upward green trendline (S1) remains critical to the broader bullish narrative. As long as the price respects this line, the uptrend remains intact.
Volume has shown a declining pattern in recent sessions, which raises concerns about the sustainability of the current range-bound behavior.
Conclusion: The market is at a crossroads, with a clear bias yet to be established. For a bullish continuation, BTC needs to decisively break above R1 with increased volume and a daily close above $110,392.21. In contrast, a break below the ascending support (S1) would likely result in a retest of S2 around $88,452.27, potentially marking a deeper correction phase.
For traders, this presents two strategies:
Aggressive buyers could consider entries near S1 with tight stops below the trendline, targeting R1 and beyond.
Conservative traders might wait for either a confirmed breakout above R1 or a breakdown below S2 before positioning.
Given the technical setup, I am cautiously optimistic but remain vigilant for a potential bearish divergence. Risk management remains paramount as we navigate this pivotal phase.
Gold: supported by weaker USDDuring the previous week markets were focused on inauguration of the new-old US President and the steps which he will take in the future period. The most critical ones are related to potential US tariffs on imported goods, especially from China. As the US Dollar was weakening during the previous week, the price of gold headed toward its ATH levels. The highest weekly level reached was at Friday's trading session at $2.785. Still, the price of gold ended the week at the level of $2.771.
With the latest move toward the upside, the RSI reached the level of 69, which is almost at the level of the overbought market side. This is also the level which implies the higher probability for a short term reversal in the coming period. The moving average of 50 days started modest divergence from MA200, implying that there will be no cross in the near future.
The week ahead will be full of important events, including the PCE data and FOMC meeting. This will certainly bring some higher market volatility. Whether the price of gold will be able at this point to pass the historical ATH is to be seen. Charts are also implying the possibility for a short term reversal. In this case, the price of gold might revert a bit back toward the support line at $2.720.
XRPUSDT.4HThe 4-hour XRP/USDT chart reflects a period of consolidation following a strong bullish rally, signaling that the market is pausing to decide on its next directional move.
Key Levels of Interest:
Resistance (R1): The immediate resistance lies at $3.3885, which has capped the recent upward movement. A break and close above this level could pave the way toward the next significant resistance zone (R2), located around $4.0000–$4.2000.
Support (S1): On the downside, the nearest support level is marked at $2.7561, aligning with prior accumulation areas and the ascending trendline.
Major Resistance (R2): If the price clears R1, R2 will likely act as a medium-term target, reflecting a strong psychological barrier for the bulls.
Chart Patterns and Market Structure:
XRP is currently consolidating in a horizontal channel, forming a flag-like continuation pattern after the sharp upward breakout. This indicates potential bullish continuation, provided the price holds above S1 and breaks R1 with volume confirmation.
However, failure to hold S1 could trigger a retest of lower support zones, invalidating the bullish outlook in the short term.
Technical Indicators:
MACD (12, 26, close): The MACD shows signs of stagnation, with both the MACD and signal lines near the zero line. A bullish crossover or divergence could confirm upward momentum, while a bearish crossover might signal a deeper correction.
RSI (14): The RSI is hovering near the neutral zone at 49.29, reflecting market indecision. A move above 60 would validate bullish strength, while a dip below 40 could intensify selling pressure.
Volume and Momentum:
Declining volume during the consolidation phase is typical of a flag pattern, but a breakout will require a notable increase in volume to confirm directional bias.
Conclusion: The market is at a critical juncture, with the $3.3885 resistance level acting as a key barrier for bullish continuation. A breakout above R1 would likely target $4.0000–$4.2000 (R2), signaling the resumption of the uptrend. Conversely, a breakdown below $2.7561 (S1) could push the price toward lower levels, invalidating the bullish structure.
Strategic Approaches:
Bullish Scenario: Enter long positions upon a confirmed breakout above R1 with increased volume, targeting R2. Stops should be placed just below the breakout level.
Bearish Scenario: If the price breaks below S1, consider short positions targeting the next significant support levels, with stops above the breakdown level.
Risk Management: Given the current consolidation phase, maintain proper stop-loss levels to protect against false breakouts or unexpected volatility.
XRP UpdateLooking at XRP, we have the same situation we have with Solana. This is a regular update.
This trading pair produced a bullish breakout recently. This bullish breakout produced a "shy higher high," just as it happened with Bitcoin. This shy higher high is good news.
This is good news because the consolidation phase is not yet over, not in relation to maximum growth and bullish momentum developing for the market. When the market is sideways, price swings are happening all of the time, up and down. This up and down can result in whipsaws, money lost. A break of support can result in many stop-loss orders being activated, many LONG positions being liquidated; but the market broke up.
This breakout is part of the same consolidation phase but it opens the doors for prices to move lower without changing the chart structure, the bulls remaining ahead. We have 28 days left before boom-boom 2025 bull-market, and it is evident how the market has been bullish, sentiment wise, and fundamentally, but neutral, sideways and even bearish in some cases technically, the price. This is all part of the last opportunity to buy before the 2025 bull-market bull-run. This is the last chance, truly it is.
As for XRPUSDT, the main scenario we see is more consolidation coupled with a small retrace, can be days or weeks. This small retrace will keep the chart intact as mentioned, and any drops and retraces are a buy opportunity for smart traders; always LONG, never SHORT.
Why always LONG?
We are in a bull-market.
The initial move is bullish (starting in October 2024).
The small retrace is part of a period of consolidation before additional growth.
The chart is bullish, the market is bullish; everything turning positive and getting better by the day.
XRP won the battle against the SEC.
The people won the battle against the capricious and abuse of power officials in the previous government. These developments are positive for the crypto-space and will soon show up in the price, make no mistake. This is it.
Patience is key of course but we are in the green.
The market never moves straight up nor straight down, there are always periods of rest between each impulse wave.
This is not bad. This is great.
Take it for what it is. The market is giving you an opportunity to find money and invest in Cryptocurrency all you want. The market is giving you time, another chance, to position yourself and plan, all this before maximum growth.
Is this cheating?
Is this even legal?
We know exactly what is going to happen so we know what to do to achieve financial success.
Knowing things beforehand is not cheating nor illegal, this is all based on experience, dedication and hard work. These things give us wisdom and this wisdom we use to support each other and produce positive results.
We know the market is going to grow, the best action is to buy and hold focusing on the long-term.
The bull-market will be a standard bull-market, and that's ok.
Just as everything turns positive, when the market peaks some reasons will develop that will compel the giants to sell, and this will mark the top. This too is normal and expected, we accept the profits and move on.
When the next bearish cycle is in, this one will be much smaller than the last one, we just take it as another opportunity to buy-in, rebuy and reload.
The market will continue to fluctuate.
XRP will continue to grow.
We are now reaching the end of a consolidation phase while in the bullish zone.
All conditions are bullish.
The recent rise allows for a drop that will not break the positive structure of the chart. This is what it means.
After the last flush, expect big green.
You can always count on me to be here and share some numbers when the time is right.
I never look at the charts for entry, nor chase any pair.
When the time is right, based on intuition, I just take a leap and let the market take care of the rest.
So far in this cycle we have perfect timing with XRP.
But it is ok to know that some trades are loss, some others we win.
It is ok to be wrong.
It would be foolish to think we have to be perfect or need to win them all.
We don't need to win anything, we just need to do our job.
Insist and persist, consistency will yield the results you want.
The battle is already half won.
Cryptocurrency is now being fully supported by the law.
First we fight. We fought and we won.
Namaste.
SHIBUSDT BUY With MCIf the market cap of Shiba can reach its range of 40 billion dollars again, a price of 0.000075 could be our target of +300%.
Considering that Doge is a meme coin and has managed to return to its historical market cap ceiling, and also that prominent individuals have intensified the meme coin market with their entry into the meme coin sector, we can expect that the market cap of the coin ranked 2 among meme coins will also return to its historical market cap ceiling.
But in general, prioritize risk management and capital management
Good luck and be profitable 💲🔥
BTC analysisI’m going to do a quick analysis of Bitcoin for fun and to compare my ideas with what actually plays out on the charts. First, I’m looking at this cup and handle formation, which I think is pretty textbook as you can see above. It's been forming since November 2021, and if it plays out as expected, it suggests a minimum price target of around $130k. That would imply there’s still some momentum left in this bull run. additionally if you draw a fib retracement from the top of the cup handle to our current ath (108k) it lines up to around 130k as seen below.
obviously theres going to be pullbacks though so below is a chart showing some rising wedge action we aslo have goin on starting around the same time frames.
As you can see, we've already bounced off the upper trendline and are now consolidating just below it. Ideally, bullish momentum will continue, and we won't experience a significant pullback. The chart below highlights some key resistance levels to keep an eye on moving forward.
Fibonacci retracement levels suggest that our first significant resistance lies just below $88K. Honestly, barring a black swan event or a sharp sell-off, it’s hard to imagine Bitcoin dropping below this level in the near term. There are too many bullish catalysts at play, such as SAB 122 enabling banks to manage crypto, an increasingly crypto-friendly government, and the potential for crypto reserves.
The upcoming FOMC meeting at the end of January could take a hawkish tone, potentially pulling the price back into the FWB:88K – GETTEX:89K range. Notably, this level has only been briefly tested once since late November.
In the event of a black swan, we could see a retest of the $70K level. Such a move would likely flush out leverage trades and cause many retail investors to exit. This scenario might create an opportunity for banks and institutions to secure unreal entry points before crypto adoption goes mainstream.
Looking at the chart below, $70K aligns closely with the previous all-time high, which was never backtested, as well as the lower trendline of the rising wedge. If this level breaks, it would likely signal the onset of a bear market.
However, with numerous bullish catalysts on the horizon and the strong likelihood of mainstream adoption, I don't believe we'll revisit this level. There are simply too many prospective buyers waiting on the sidelines.
Traders MindsetLet’s talk about mindset! You hear everyone saying; mindset is the most important in trading. But what is having “the right mindset” ?
Now here is a little secret. Mindset is not just being focused on the money. “I must be profitable”. No. Having the right mindset is having a set of attitudes. Quite literally the definition..
Mindset /ˈmʌɪn(d)sɛt/
noun (usually in singular) the established set of attitudes held by someone.
How you approach the market is very important.
Have a set of rules for yourself.
- Do I have a trading plan? Having a trading plan is important. It helps you follow something day in and day out.
- Do I have good market conditions? Having good market conditions is important as it helps you make more clear decisions. Trading in sideways markets usually ends badly. It forces the trader to become impatient and entering too soon, expecting a breakout to either side usually leads to loses.
- Do I know the risk? Understanding the risk before you enter the trade is important. Majority of traders over-leverage, meaning they use high leverage thus being able to open higher lot size positions. That usually leads to blown accounts. Knowing what you are risking, eliminates a lot of the emotions.
- Do I have any confirmations? Whether that’s a break, a pullback, fundamentals supporting your view that’s great! Having confirmations on your analysis or trade is important.
- Is this trade forced? Am I being nervous before entering? Am I not sure? Am I gambling on this trade? Understanding your emotions is important. Ever felt like this when you opened a trade, knowing you shouldn’t and it instantly went against you? Avoid these trades.
One more thing I would like to add. Ever been stuck to your screen 24/7? Lost sleep over a trade. Here is a fact. You watching the chart, won’t change its path. Sad truth. There is nothing wrong with following your trade, but if you are watching your losing trade, then I already know where it leads. You do too. Avoid this. Going back to the #1 rule. Know your risk before entering. Eliminate emotions.
Having the right mindset is following your own rules and having a set of habits. Habits that help you to grow as a trader. Eliminate bad habits. Review your past trades. You all know why you lost a trade. But will you look for an excuse? “Ah the market did a liquidity sweep” or “market is manipulated”. The market is never wrong. You as a trader are.
Don’t celebrate wins or mourn loses on your account. Treat it as your full time job. You have some good days, you have some bad days. You win, you move on. You lose, you move on. As long as you are following the trading plan, you will succeed.
Understanding this, combined with experience will grow you as a trader. And guess what the by product of this is? Money.
So don’t focus on money. Focus on self-growth, mindset, experience and upgrading your skillset of trading. Money will be the byproduct of your journey.
Create your mindset plan. A set of rules for yourself. Try doing it for 30 days. Come back to this post and tell us if you have improved.
Nothing or no one is stopping you from being a successful trader but yourself. It’s not the market and no it’s not the broker.
Majority of traders quit after blowing a few accounts. The rest stick around for years but make no progress. Only a few % of them actually find the meaning behind it and succeed.
What’s the secret? Signals? Prop Firms? Account managers? EA’s? No. Sure all these things can benefit you slightly. But what truly is the secret to being successful in trading?
You! You are the secret. Understanding yourself, your emotions, your reactions to certain events. Trading is a mirror of you. An amplified picture of you. Are you impatient? Scared? Nervous? Greedy? Forex will amplify those emotions.
The biggest battle you have to win is the battle with yourself. Not the market.
Trading is easy, you have a trading plan, you stick to it. Sometimes you may have a loosing week, happens right? But as long as you are sticking to your strategy, understanding the market, using a positive R:R and understanding the importance of consistency you should be fine. But here is the hard part. Your reactions. Your emotions.
Let’s take for example NFP Data release. Weeks or even months of progress can be wiped out due to irrational decisions during news. Don’t be that trader. Suppress your emotions, don’t get greedy. Take a jab at the market, but only after the data is out.
Remember, no one is stopping you from being a successful trader, but yourself.
A key element added to a traders mindset is PATIENCE .
patience /ˈpeɪʃns/
(noun) - the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, problems, or suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious.
That’s the definition of patience. Trading is a stressful field. Not only does your analysis have to be on point, you have to be focused, have a trading plan, use proper risk to reward ratio… so many factors and then comes the patience. We already know that the market always provides unexpected problems. It plays with our emotions, ranges, does not move, goes against us etc.
How many times have you entered in a position and the price started to range, while you float in loss? You start doubting, you get scared and you close the position. Or even worse, you get stopped out. Later in the day you check the chart and you see your Take Profit (TP) would have been hit, but only if you were more patient?
Or how many times have you had an A+ setup, everything was going to plan but you closed it early because you wanted to secure the profit?
Being a good trader is hard, but it’s not impossible. Discipline is everything as well as patience. Without patience you are bound to lose.
From talking to many people, you would be surprised at how many of them want to “flip” their account. “Do you think I can make 2000$ this week” with 1000$ in their account.
We will always advocate for patience. Playing the long game. Consistency + patience will get you far.
Check some of the last trades you did. Were you patient? Ask yourself. Majority can find themselves in these stories.
Work on your patience, and you will get far.
For example, check out this long-term analysis on XAUUSD (Gold) posted on January 9th. Now we did close it earlier, but we still managed to secure +500 pips (50$ price action) in 3 days of holding. Patience.

Gold weekly chart with Buy and Sell level's Gold making ATH before retracing last week.
Here are the levels I'll be watching in the coming week.
I'll look at taking a buy if gold gets to 2776 expecting it to meet resistance on the way to 2800.
2778 and 2784 will be strong levels to break on the way up.
On the sell side ill look at entering at 2766, expecting 2750 as first major support.
Trades entries based on higher time frame and support and resistance backed up with Fibonacci levels.
Check out my other gold swing trade idea i just posted for the more experienced traders.
Ill update this as the week goes on.
