Trend Analysis
Apple UpdateThe way this pattern has been moving is very indicative of a B wave. It has been complex and very choppy. Needless to say, I have removed the lower target box from the chart and believe we should be headed to the upper larger target box from here. It appears, to my eyes, that price is within the micro-wave 3 of (c) of B. Once B completes, price should be headed to the $150-$110 area to complete minor wave C. This won't happen overnight but will take time. Be patient as these things can take a while.
XAU / USD 4 Hour ChartHello traders. Opening night for the trading week. I have marked the areas I am watching to see how gold reacts. I am not taking any trades and will wait to see what the overnight sessions do. Big G gets a shout out. I feel like this week is going to be great. Let's see how things play out. Be well and trade the trend.
MOODENG/USDTKey Level Zone: 0.16800 - 0.17700
LMT v2.0 detected.
The setup looks promising—price previously trended upward with rising volume and momentum, then retested this zone cleanly. This presents an excellent reward-to-risk opportunity if momentum continues to align.
Introducing LMT (Levels & Momentum Trading)
- Over the past 3 years, I’ve refined my approach to focus more sharply on the single most important element in any trade: the KEY LEVEL.
- While HMT (High Momentum Trading) served me well—combining trend, momentum, volume, and structure across multiple timeframes—I realized that consistently identifying and respecting these critical price zones is what truly separates good trades from great ones.
- That insight led to the evolution of HMT into LMT – Levels & Momentum Trading.
Why the Change? (From HMT to LMT)
Switching from High Momentum Trading (HMT) to Levels & Momentum Trading (LMT) improves precision, risk control, and confidence by:
- Clearer Entries & Stops: Defined key levels make it easier to plan entries, stop-losses, and position sizing—no more guesswork.
- Better Signal Quality: Momentum is now always checked against a support or resistance zone—if it aligns, it's a stronger setup.
- Improved Reward-to-Risk: All trades are anchored to key levels, making it easier to calculate and manage risk effectively.
- Stronger Confidence: With clear invalidation points beyond key levels, it's easier to trust the plan and stay disciplined—even in tough markets.
Whenever I share a signal, it’s because:
- A high‐probability key level has been identified on a higher timeframe.
- Lower‐timeframe momentum, market structure and volume suggest continuation or reversal is imminent.
- The reward‐to‐risk (based on that key level) meets my criteria for a disciplined entry.
***Please note that conducting a comprehensive analysis on a single timeframe chart can be quite challenging and sometimes confusing. I appreciate your understanding of the effort involved.
Important Note: The Role of Key Levels
- Holding a key level zone: If price respects the key level zone, momentum often carries the trend in the expected direction. That’s when we look to enter, with stop-loss placed just beyond the zone with some buffer.
- Breaking a key level zone: A definitive break signals a potential stop‐out for trend traders. For reversal traders, it’s a cue to consider switching direction—price often retests broken zones as new support or resistance.
My Trading Rules (Unchanged)
Risk Management
- Maximum risk per trade: 2.5%
- Leverage: 5x
Exit Strategy / Profit Taking
- Sell at least 70% on the 3rd wave up (LTF Wave 5).
- Typically sell 50% during a high‐volume spike.
- Move stop‐loss to breakeven once the trade achieves a 1.5:1 R:R.
- Exit at breakeven if momentum fades or divergence appears.
The market is highly dynamic and constantly changing. LMT signals and target profit (TP) levels are based on the current price and movement, but market conditions can shift instantly, so it is crucial to remain adaptable and follow the market's movement.

Elliott Wave Analysis – XAUUSD – June 8, 2025🌀 Elliott Wave Structure Timeframe: H4
Currently, price action is overlapping with multiple abc correction patterns. To reduce noise and gain a clearer perspective, I’ve shifted the analysis to the H4 timeframe.
From the 3500 level down to now, the entire corrective move has been composed of overlapping abc patterns rather than sharp, impulsive rallies. This suggests we are likely forming a contracting triangle correction in the form of abcde (green) as shown on the chart.
At the moment, price appears to be in wave d (green), which is unfolding as a wxy structure (red).
Trading during triangle corrections is particularly challenging due to the complex interweaving of corrective waves. Additionally, price is consolidating within the Volume Profile’s high-liquidity zone, as shown on the chart. Therefore, it is best to remain patient and wait for the triangle pattern to complete.
📉 Momentum
Daily (D1) momentum: Currently showing signs of a bearish reversal → suggesting that price may move sideways or lower this week. (Toward the end of a triangle, price tends to compress and lose clear directional bias.)
H4 momentum: Also shows reversal signals, and a strong bearish candle has recently formed. Thus, a short-term bearish bias is preferred until H4 momentum reaches the oversold region.
🎯 Price Targets
Since the market is currently forming overlapping abc structures, setting precise wave targets is difficult. Therefore, I rely on Volume Profile zones to define key levels:
3342 Resistance Zone: Marks the boundary between high and low liquidity areas → This is a Sell Zone, supported by confluence with D1 and H4 momentum signals.
3294 Support Zone: Represents the lower boundary of high liquidity → This is the projected end of wave X (red) and serves as our Buy Zone.
🧭 Trade Plan
🔻 Sell Zone:
Entry: 3340 – 3342
SL: 3350
TP1: 3320
TP2: 3300
🔺 Buy Zone:
Entry: 3295 – 3293
SL: 3285
TP1: 3312
TP2: 3342
TP3: 3390
📌 Personal Note:
At this stage, I prefer to wait for the abcde triangle to complete or for more structural confirmation. If you decide to trade, focus on short-term setups with reduced position size to manage risk during this complex correction phase.

Risk/Reward Ratio: 2.00:1
Setup Grade: A+
1. Core Thesis
The trade is a high-confluence short position designed to capitalize on a probable liquidity hunt below an obvious daily support level. The core thesis is that the market is incentivized to purge over-leveraged longs, whose positions are revealed by order flow data, within the context of a clear daily downtrend.
2. High-Timeframe Context (The Strategic Landscape)
My analysis began with a top-down approach to understand the broader market environment.
Weekly Context: The market is in a large-scale consolidation range. This tells us that expecting a massive, sustained trend breakout is a lower probability. Instead, trading between major support and resistance zones is the governing dynamic.
Daily Context: The immediate trend on the daily chart is bearish. Price had established a series of lower highs and lower lows, bringing it down to a major area of historical support and the Volume Profile Point of Control (POC) around the ~$2,550 zone. This created the central conflict: a bearish trend meeting a significant support level. A naive analysis would be to buy this support.
3. Order Flow & Sentiment Analysis (The Deciding Factor)
This layer of analysis was the key to resolving the trend vs. support conflict and formed the backbone of my bearish bias.
Liquidation Analysis: The liquidation maps revealed a very large and proximate pool of long liquidations clustered between $2,470 and $2,500. This liquidity acts as a powerful magnet for price, as market makers are incentivized to push price toward these zones to absorb orders.
Funding Rate Analysis: Funding rates across almost all exchanges were consistently positive. This provided clear evidence that derivative traders were predominantly positioned long, were paying a premium to maintain those longs, and were betting on the daily support holding. This identified a crowded trade.
Synthesis: The presence of a large downside liquidity target (the "magnet") combined with a vulnerable and crowded group of participants (the "fuel") created a high-probability scenario for a contrarian move. The path of least resistance was for the market to push through the "obvious" support to liquidate these longs.
4. Tactical Execution (The Entry Trigger)
With a firm directional bias, the final step was to find a low-risk entry.
4-Hour Structure: The price action at the daily support level was weak. The 4H chart showed a low-volume, sideways consolidation, not a strong bullish rejection. This lack of a decisive bounce was my first clue that the support was fragile.
1-Hour Entry Pattern: I identified the perfect entry trigger by observing the 1H chart.
Price staged a minor rally toward the $2,580 resistance level.
Crucially, this rally occurred on visibly declining volume, signaling a lack of genuine buying interest. It was a corrective, not an impulsive, move.
My entry at $2,580 was placed at a clear support-turned-resistance flip zone, allowing us to short into weakness at a favorable price.
5. Risk Management (The Trade's Foundation)
Stop Loss ($2,615): The SL was not an arbitrary price but a logical invalidation point. It was placed just above a recent 1H structural swing high. A move above this level would have proven the "weak rally" thesis incorrect and signaled that buyers had taken control.
Take Profit ($2,510): The TP was chosen for two reasons:
Rule Compliance: It mathematically secured my required 2:1 risk/reward ratio.
Strategic Placement: It sits just ahead of the psychological $2,500 level and the densest part of the liquidation pool, increasing the probability of a fill before any potential support-driven bounce.
This trade represents a textbook example of my strategy: using high-timeframe analysis to build a directional bias, confirming it with order flow and liquidity data, and executing with precision on a low-timeframe pattern, all while adhering to strict risk management rules.
EGX 30🔍 Technical Analysis Summary:
📍 Sell Entry Point:
Price: 33,196.164
This level represents a potential reversal zone after testing a strong resistance area. Signs of buyer exhaustion suggest a possible downward move.
📍 Stop Loss (SL):
Level: 33,707.466
Positioned above a key resistance zone (highlighted in red). If price breaks above this level, the bearish setup would be invalidated.
📍 Target Levels (Take Profit):
Target 1 (T1): 31,693.736
A well-established support level tested multiple times. A likely bounce zone.
Target 2 (T2): 31,300.428
A deeper support area. This level offers a more extended profit target if bearish momentum continues.
📈 Price Action & Trend Insight:
The recent movement shows a temporary bullish correction, but momentum is fading near the resistance zone between 33,472 – 33,707.
A possible double-top pattern has formed, indicating weakness in buying pressure.
If the price breaks below 32,900, this could trigger accelerated selling toward T1 and T2.
📌 Additional Notes:
✅ Risk-to-Reward Ratio:
Risk (SL to Entry): ~510 points
Reward to T1: ~1,500 points
Reward to T2: ~1,900 points
This offers a favorable risk/reward setup for short sellers.
✅ Candlestick Behavior:
Reversal candles appear near the resistance area, confirming possible trend exhaustion.
📊 Conclusion:
This setup indicates a high-probability short trade below 33,200, with confirmation needed through price weakness.
A strict stop loss at 33,707 should be maintained to manage risk effectively.

Opportunity Beneath the Fear: SPY's Reversal SetupIn the Shadow of Headlines: SPY’s Drop Could Be 2025’s Big Opportunity
As markets react sharply to renewed tariff fears and Trump-related headlines, SPY continues its descent. Panic is setting in—but behind the noise, a strategic opportunity may be quietly forming.
While many rush to exit, others are beginning to position for the bounce. A well-structured entry strategy could be key to turning uncertainty into gains.
Entry Zone (Staggered):
🔹 543: First watch level—look for signs of slowing momentum.
🔹 515: Deeper entry point as the selloff extends.
🔹 <500 (TBD): Stay flexible—if panic accelerates, this could mark a generational setup.
Profit Targets:
✅ 570: Initial rebound target.
✅ 590: Mid-range level if recovery builds.
✅ 610+: Full recovery potential—rewarding those with patience and vision.
Remember: Headlines fade, but price action and preparation stay. This selloff may continue—but it might also be laying the foundation for 2025’s most powerful move. The key? Enter with discipline, protect your capital, and let the market come to you.

BAC – Building the Base for a Breakout?Bank of America (BAC) has been consolidating quietly, attracting attention as it sits near a key mid-range level. With a 52-week low of $33.06 and a 52-week high of $48.08, the stock currently trades around $36.92 – roughly 11% above its low and 23% below its high.
This setup could be the calm before the move.
💥 Technical Outlook & Strategy
With financials holding steady and macro headwinds softening, BAC might offer a solid swing trade or medium-term positioning opportunity.
📌 Entry Points to Watch
$36.90 – Market price, if volume picks up near support
$33.30 – Prior breakout area and potential pullback support
$30.50 – Strong support and near the 52-week low for aggressive buyers
🎯 Target Levels
$39.80 – Short-term resistance; previous rejection zone
$43.50 – Fib retracement from the high, medium-term target
$47.50–48.00 – 52-week high retest, bullish scenario
🧠 Narrative to Watch
With potential Fed pauses on rate hikes, improving margins, and relative stability in U.S. banks, BAC could be positioning for a slow grind higher. Watch for earnings momentum and bond yield trends.

4-Dimensional Investing: Evolving Beyond News, Charts, and Math 📚 4-Dimensional Investing: Evolving Beyond News, Charts, and Math
Most people start learning about stocks in a 1-dimensional way — by following the news.
But news is noisy.
Some is fake, some is "buy the rumor, sell the fact", and sometimes the price moves the opposite of what the news suggests. So, many give up on news and turn to...
📊 2D: Technical Analysis (TA)
TA has been around since the 1980s, when personal computers went mainstream. It's visual and intuitive — charts, lines, indicators. You see price action unfold on-screen and feel like you're deciphering the market in real time.
Some traders even build entire systems off indicators like RSI, MACD, or moving averages. They think:
"Aha! The chart did this, so next time I’ll do that."
But often, "next time" doesn't work the same.
TA is fundamentally historical — it's about pattern recognition and hoping history repeats.
It’s like counting the color of every fallen leaf, trying to predict the next one.

Enter the quants — physicists, mathematicians, engineers. They model the markets like rocket science using multi-dimensional equations. Think LTCM (Long-Term Capital Management), led by Nobel Prize winners.
Quant models are more sophisticated than charts — they simulate human behavior with precision. But there's a problem: humans change.

“Why use LLMs for trading? Why not traditional ML like LSTM?”
Here’s my answer: Markets are made of humans, and humans communicate through language.
Not numbers. Not charts. Not just price.
Now, with LLMs, we can:
Analyze any human-created document (news, filings, tweets, speeches)
Understand sentiment in real context
Capture nuance — the stuff traditional models miss
LLMs don’t just convert text to numbers. They learn meaning.
This adds a fourth dimension to our trading models: language + reasoning + context + behavior.
Underneath, it’s still powered by classic ML and deep learning. But now the machine can think more like a human — with intuition, memory, and adaptability.
