XAUUSD Long Setup – Watching 3247 Entry ZoneHi Traders,
The recent price action of XAUUSD has been a bit complex, but I hope this idea turns out to be profitable for everyone.
Feel free to share your thoughts if you see anything differently.
What I find most interesting is the entry zone around 3247–3245 . If we take the wave count starting from May 15, 2025 (3120.76) and consider wave 5 to be completed on June 15, 2025 (3451.52), then wave 2 should ideally retrace to around 3247.
On top of that, wave C of wave 2 seems to follow a clean 1–2–3–4–5 structure. If we treat the current move as a downtrend, wave 5 would likely complete right at 3247, which I find both accurate and technically compelling.
I'll be watching 3247 closely and plan to go long from there.
Trend Analysis
Gold (XAUUSD) – July 1 Analysis📍 H4 Key LH Zone: 3348.500 – 3350.500
This is a major decision zone.
Current market structure:
🔸 M15 is in an uptrend with confirmed ChoCh + BoS
What to watch:
We’re approaching the H4 LH supply zone — now we observe how price behaves here.
🔹 If price breaks above this H4 LH zone:
→ HTF and LTF trends align to the upside
→ Potential continuation of the bullish move
🔹 If price respects and stays below this LH zone:
→ Then this recent up-move could be a pullback
→ We may see a new low forming — so be cautious
📍 M15 Zones for Long Setup (if confirmed):
• 3309.500 – 3312.500 (Order Block Zone)
• 3302.500 – 3304.600 (Demand Zone)
We will watch these levels closely.
If price respects these zones and gives M1 confirmation (ChoCh + BoS) — we’ll plan for long entries accordingly.
📖 Let structure guide your decisions. Let price speak first.

Chainlink, The Fed, Vanguard, Crypto & Apple"Buy the rumor, sell the fact." The market tends to price-in an event before it happens. I am talking about the reduction in interest rates. The participants are aware that there will be a reduction in interest rates by the Fed and this is bullish and so buying starts to happen much sooner compared to the announcement of the actual event. By the time the event becomes a reality, it is already priced-in. Meaning...
Chainlink is bullish now and the chart is the same as HIVEUSDT, which I shared just now, and many other altcoins. This is good because we know what happens next. If there are other pairs with the same chart but moving up, moving ahead, then we know that these two and all those other staying behind will also follow, makes sense? Sure it does. We are all one. What one does, the rest follows.
Chainlink (LINKUSDT) is set to grow. Easy to see, higher highs and higher lows.
Will the market go up because of the Fed? We can say so before or after the event, right now the only important action is to buy-and-hold. It is important to be fully invested in Crypto, because Crypto is outperforming every other risk-asset in the entire world. You want be in in the market that is about to pay. You don't want to be holding bonds or index funds, that's a huge mistake. You buy these stuff to make money, you can make with Crypto in 6 months what an index fund (Vanguard SPX) will pay in a decade... Do the math, are you a young adult, are you smart? If you are, take action now before it is too late.
Your choice of course. Imagine the people in the 80s investing in Gold rather than Google, Microsoft and Apple... Big mistake.
Namaste.
As expected, it will fall and form a head and shoulders bottom📰 News information:
1. ADP data, for reference of tomorrow's NFP data
2. Interest rate cuts and Powell's dovish comments
3. Geopolitical impact on the gold market
📈 Technical Analysis:
Yesterday we expected gold to retreat to the 3330-3320 area. Today, gold hit a low of around 3328 during the Asian session, which is in line with our judgment of the market trend. In the short term, gold may still fall. First, it may test the 3323 support line. If it falls back to this position during the day, you can try to go long. In the short term, focus on the 3315-3305 long-short dividing line below. If gold gets effective support below, it is expected to form a head and shoulders bottom pattern. The short-term decline will accumulate momentum for the future rise. Pay attention to the ADP data during the NY period
🎯 Trading Points:
BUY 3323-3315-3305
TP 3340-3350-3360-3375
In addition to investment, life also includes poetry, distant places, and Allen. Facing the market is actually facing yourself, correcting your shortcomings, confronting your mistakes, and strictly disciplining yourself. I hope my analysis can help you🌐.

GU: Asian highs > Previous Day Low?Hi everyone,
Here is my forecast this morning for GBPUSD. Overall I'm thinking bearish, but I reckon that price could take out the Asian range highs first and then give us a bearish leg towards the previous day low.

Buy limit order at $143.400 after a retest confirms supportAnalyzing the USD/JPY across multiple timeframes, we observe a consistent pattern of price recovery after a significant drop, indicating a potential phase of accumulation by institutional players. The daily chart shows a recent decline followed by a stabilization and slight upward movement, suggesting a possible change of character (CHoCH) from bearish to bullish momentum. The 4-hour and 1-hour charts confirm this with a series of higher lows and higher highs, indicative of a shift towards bullish sentiment.
The 15-minute, 5-minute, and 1-minute charts display more granular price action, with recent bullish candles suggesting an ongoing push for higher prices. This could be a response to retail selling pressure being absorbed by institutional buying, a common scenario during early stages of a bullish reversal.
INSTITUTIONAL THESIS:
Institutions appear to be in the early stages of an accumulation phase, targeting liquidity above recent highs to trigger stop losses and fuel further upward movement. The presence of unmitigated order blocks (OB) on the 1-hour chart around 143.400 provides a potential area for re-entry, suggesting that price may revisit this zone to balance before continuing upwards.
LEARNING POINT:
"1H Order Block mitigation after liquidity sweep" - This scenario highlights how institutions often retest key levels where significant orders were previously placed, confirming their commitment to driving the price in the intended direction.
SIGNAL: BUY
SYMBOL: USDJPY
ENTRY PRICE: $143.400
STOP LOSS: $143.200
TARGET PRICE: $144.000
CONDITION: Buy limit order at $143.400 after a retest confirms support.
RATIONALE: The setup aligns with a bullish CHoCH on multiple timeframes, presence of a 1H OB, and the anticipation of a liquidity sweep above recent highs.
STRATEGIES USED: 1H OB Mitigation, Liquidity Sweep Above Recent Highs
URGENCY: MEDIUM
TIMEFRAME: Short-term
CONFIDENCE SCORE: 85%
RISK/REWARD RATIO: Risk=$0.20, Reward=$0.60, Ratio=1:3.0
CRITICAL RULES:
The analysis strictly adheres to Smart Money Concepts, avoiding traditional retail indicators.
The decision is based on visible price action and institutional logic, ensuring a high probability of success.
The risk/reward ratio exceeds the minimum requirement of 2:1, enhancing the trade's viability.
PIVXUSDT Holding Key Support Within Falling WedgePIVXUSDT continues its descent within a falling wedge structure, currently stabilizing above a key support zone. Price is now poised to retest the Immediate Internal Resistance Level.
A breakout above this level could trigger a reversal, while rejection may lead to a new low toward the strong accumulation zone a potential high-probability buy area. Targets toward the projected final upside are highlighted on the chart.
Monitor closely for confirmation at the resistance level to define the next move recommended.
USDCAD H1 I Bearish Reversal Based on the H1chart analysis, the price is approaching our buy entry level at 1,3623, a pullback support.
Our take profit is set at 1.3697, a pullback resistance that aligns with the 61.8% Fib retracement.
The stop loss is placed at 1.3590, a swing low support.

The Elliottician’s Paradox: 12-12 or Zigzag? Bias Is the Key
Ever stare at a chart and ask, “Is that a 12-12 or a classic zigzag?” Yeah… welcome to the paradox we Elliotticians live in. Pattern recognition’s a blessing and a curse because context is everything, but confidence can get you wrecked.
This one’s got me on the edge.
What’s Happening Here
We’re currently watching a move that could be either:
- A corrective zigzag (5-3-5), or
- A 1-2, 1-2 setup, gearing up for a blastoff
That’s the core dilemma — two valid options, both technically legal. So what tips the scales? Bias.
The Line in the Sand: 152
Here’s what I’m watching for:
Key Level: 152
- That’s the bull/bear line for me.
- A strong impulsive reclaim above 152 flips the script. I’d reconsider the bearish view if price surges with intent.
- But if we return to 152 in a sluggish, corrective way? I’ll be eyeing continuation lower, aligned with a more traditional zigzag structure.
Elliott View
This is where the paradox plays out:
If we’re looking at a 1-2, 1-2 setup, expect:
- A powerful Wave 3 soon (should not be shy)
If it’s a Zigzag ABC:
- Then we should expect a corrective internal retracement and continuation to the down side, at minimum past the origin of the initial move.
The chart will speak loudest. But structure and strength of this next leg will confirm the story.
Final Thoughts
Trading isn’t about being right. It’s about managing scenarios — and this one’s a classic fork-in-the-road moment. I’ve got a plan for both directions.
152 is my trigger. Stay below it and fade the rally. Break above it impulsively, and I’ll flip my bias with it.
The Elliottician’s paradox isn’t a trap — it’s an invitation to stay sharp.
Your Turn
How are you reading this structure? Do you favor the zigzag or the 1-2 setup? Drop a comment and let me know.
Trade safe, trade clarity!

Nikkei 225 Wave Analysis – 1 July 2025
- Nikkei 225 reversed from resistance zone
- Likely to fall to support level 39000.00
Nikkei 225 index recently reversed down with the Evening Star from the resistance zone between the resistance levels 40000.00 and 40550.00 (former multi month high from January).
This resistance zone was strengthened by the upper daily Bollinger Band and by the resistance trendline of the daily up channel from May.
Given the strength of the aforementioned resistance zone and the overbought daily Stochastic, Nikkei 225 index can be expected to fall to the next support level 39000.00.
[SNOW] SNOW InvestmentReally late on this investment so half size for me on this one and will not add to the downside.
I missed the reversal pattern but I have strong convictions on the fundamental part so I wanted to be part of it ... maybe I am wrong otherwise I am holding for a while ... can be a major stock for the future.
Great Trade !
GBP/AUD Daily AnalysisPrice has found resistance at a price of 2.1000 for a number of days.
Mondays large bearish candle suggests that the price is still finding a ceiling at that price point.
This means that we could see some further selling.
If you agree with this analysis, look for a trading opportunity that meets your strategy rules.
2025-07-01 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: If I had longs for 24400+ I would really doubt my position right now. Problem for the bears is, that it’s not low enough to be definitive. Only below 23600 we are making lower lows again and those can not happen in bull trends. Strong enough selling but I have my doubts that bears get follow-through tomorrow. Especially when other markets are rallying instead of selling. Above 24000 we likely see more upside but if bears are strong, they keep the market below and continue lower.
current market cycle: unclear. bull trend could continue but trading range is most likely
key levels: 23100 - 24500
bull case: Bulls need to stay above 23700 bad and continue higher for 24000. If they manage to break above 24k and the bear trend line, there is no reason why we can’t have another strong leg up. Until the bear channel is broken, they are not favored for anything. This could have been a retest of the daily 20ema, but only if we move strongly higher tomorrow.
Invalidation is below 23600.
bear case: Bears need follow-through below 23600 and close the gap to 23540. Then they have a good argument to trade down to 23100 or lower. Right now I would not short the lows because the risk of trading back up to 24000 is too big. The bear channel is clear and valid until broken.
Invalidation is above 24050ish.
short term: Slightly bullish that we bottom out above 23750 and trade back up to 24000 but I would only do small scalps here. Anything below 23700 would surprise me more than 24000.
medium-long term from 2025-06-29: Bull surprise last week but my targets for the second half of 2025 remain the same. I still expect at least 21000 to get hit again this year. As of now, bulls are favored until we drop below 23000
trade of the day: Short from EU open.
Gold technical analysis and operation suggestionsGold technical analysis and operation suggestions
Market review:
Yesterday, gold showed a bottoming-out and rebounding trend. It quickly dropped to 3250 in the Asian session and then stabilized and rebounded. It rose in the European and US sessions, reaching a high of 3296 before falling under pressure. After the US session stepped back to 3270 for the second time to confirm support, it accelerated to rise, breaking through the 3300 integer mark. The daily line closed with a bottoming-out and rebounding, indicating that the 3250 support is effective, and the short-term adjustment may come to an end.
Current trend:
Gold prices continued to rebound after opening today, and now hit the 3320 line. It is necessary to pay attention to the 3324 long-short watershed pressure. If it breaks through effectively, it will confirm the reversal, and you can step back and follow up with long orders; on the contrary, if it falls under pressure, consider arranging short orders at high levels.
Technical points:
4-hour chart: 3324 is the key long-short watershed, and the support below is 3295-3301 (yesterday's resistance conversion position).
Operation idea: high short and low long within the range, follow up after breaking through 3324.
Operation strategy:
Short order: 3321-24 light position short, stop loss 3332, target 3295-3301, hold after breaking down.
Long order: 3295-3301 stabilizes and goes long, stop loss 3287, target 3320-24, hold after breaking through.
XAUUSD-Major Reversal Ahead?14-Years Cycle complete in April2025 Description:
Gold (XAUUSD) has completed a significant 14-year cycle with the recent peak near $3,485 in April 2025, following a similar 12-year rally pattern that previously ended in August 2011.
The price is now showing signs of exhaustion:
RSI on the monthly chart is extremely overbought (85.91), matching historical reversal levels.
Strong Fibonacci confluence at 1.0 extension ($3,485) suggests a possible cycle top.
Historical symmetry: Prior major top in 2011 came 12 years after the breakout in 1999 — this move mirrors that with a 14-year cycle.

Title: Rejection at 3340 – Gold Struggles to Break ResistanceGold faced a clear rejection at the 3340 zone, dropping nearly 30 pips. This confirms that the 3335–3340 area remains a strong resistance. If price fails to break above this zone, we may see a move towards 3330 in the coming sessions. EMA 64 is now the key support to watch.
