BTC/USD Bearish Setup – Trendline Retest Before the Fall?🔍 Technical Breakdown – BTC/USD 3H Timeframe
Bitcoin is displaying a textbook Double Top pattern formation on the 3-hour chart, signaling a potential bearish reversal after a strong bullish run. This classic pattern suggests buyer exhaustion and sets the stage for a downward move. Let's break down the analysis:
🧠 Pattern Insight: Double Top Reversal
A Double Top is one of the most reliable trend reversal patterns, especially when it forms after a sustained uptrend — just like we're seeing here.
Top 1 and Top 2 both formed inside a strong Resistance Zone between $106,500 and $107,000, showing repeated rejection from buyers to push price higher.
The formation of lower highs and long wicks near Top 2 further reinforce the weakening bullish momentum.
💥 Neckline Breakdown & Bearish Trigger
The Neckline, aligned with a horizontal Support Zone (~$103,300–$103,800), was decisively broken, confirming the pattern.
This breakdown acts as the trigger for bearish entries, and we are now in the "Retest Phase", where price often pulls back to the neckline or a nearby trendline before continuing lower.
📐 Trendline Confluence – Retest Opportunity
A short-term descending trendline drawn from Top 2 intersects near the neckline zone.
Price is now approaching this confluence area, offering a potential high-probability short entry if bearish price action confirms (e.g., a rejection candle like a bearish engulfing or pin bar).
🎯 Price Targets & Trade Setup
Parameter Value
📍 Entry On bearish confirmation near neckline/trendline retest (~$105,300)
❌ Stop Loss (SL) Above recent swing high / Top 2 (~$107,100)
🎯 Target ~$97,126 (based on measured move from top to neckline projection)
⚖️ Risk:Reward Approx. 1:3 or better (depending on entry timing)
Measured Target Calculation:
Height from neckline to peak (~$107,000 - $103,500 = $3,500)
Target = Neckline break - height = ~$103,500 - $3,500 = $97,000–$97,100
🔥 Market Context & Psychological Edge
This chart structure reflects a shift in market sentiment. What was once strong bullish momentum is now hesitating — with buyers failing to make higher highs and sellers stepping in aggressively. The double top is not just a pattern, it's a narrative of exhaustion and reversal.
“Let price confirm your bias. Don't just predict; react to structure and behavior.”
Being patient and letting the retest play out is crucial. Don’t rush in early — let the market give you a clean signal. This is where technical discipline pays off.
⚠️ Risk Management Notes
Crypto markets are highly volatile — avoid oversized positions.
A failed double top can lead to a bullish continuation, so SL discipline is key.
Wait for confirmation — candlestick patterns, momentum shifts, or bearish volume spikes can add confidence.
📌 Summary
✅ Pattern: Double Top
✅ Confirmation: Neckline Break
🔄 Current Phase: Retesting Neckline/Trendline
📉 Bias: Bearish
🎯 Target: ~$97,100
❗ SL: Above Top 2

Dow in relief until MayYesterday's historic bounce reacted a little to perfectly to the monthly trend-line pictured. Whether coincidence or not, this break in momentum will likely provide an interim bottom to the downtrend and give us a few weeks of reprieve before continuing with the bear market. $37,000 the level to watch.
My outlook is generally still flat although it is useful to remember that the biggest pumps happen during a bear cycle. We also have a full blown trade war on our hands so keep risk tight and trade with caution.
Rebound firmly short-sellingThe US dollar index continued to fall yesterday, breaking through the 100 integer mark, but the gold price did not break through the key resistance level. In the short term, we need to be alert to the risk of gold price correction. In addition, the three major US stock indexes have continued to rise recently, but the market risk appetite has decreased. We need to be alert to the market panic and liquidity tightening that may be caused by the stagnation of the US stock market's rise, which will put pressure on the gold market. Technically, the gold price was blocked at the important pressure level of 3250 yesterday, and the support below was at the 3200 mark. In the short term, it is still mainly range-bound. At present, the upper resistance is 3226-3233, and the lower support is 3189-3184. In terms of operation, it is recommended to rebound short and supplemented by callback long.
Operation strategy 1: It is recommended to rebound short at 3228-3235, and the target is 3210-3193.
Operation strategy 2: It is recommended to pull back to 3189-3185 and go long, and the target is 3215-3235.
JPM, possible correction JPM showing in 4 hours time frame a negative diverging indicates a weakness and a pullback , technically to touch the trend line "back to the scene of crime"
Gold Trends and Trading StrategiesThe gold market continued to fluctuate yesterday, and the price was repeatedly under pressure at the key position of 3250. At the weekly level, gold prices tried to rebound after bottoming out on Friday, but the upper short-term moving average formed technical suppression, and the daily line closed with a cross star with long upper and lower shadows, and the long-short game was fierce. From a technical perspective, the 4-hour chart shows a descending channel pattern. The price rebounded after testing the lower track of the channel many times, but it has never effectively broken through the 3250 central axis suppression. The hourly chart shows that the market maintains a rhythm of shock correction. The current daily line has two Yins and one Yang, but it has not effectively broken the previous low. It is expected that the bottoming and rebounding mode may continue today. In terms of operation, it is recommended to pay attention to the 3260-3200 range, and rely on the upper and lower edges of the channel to implement a high-altitude low-multiple strategy.
Gold operation suggestions:
1. Short near the rebound of 3247-3252, target 3230-3220.
2. Go long near the retracement of 3206-3215, target 3230-3245.

Key Points
- U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he had a two-hour phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, during which both agreed that Russia and Ukraine should immediately begin negotiations for a ceasefire and, more importantly, an end to the war. President Putin echoed the same message to reporters and described the call as overall very productive.
- Following Moody’s downgrade of the U.S. sovereign credit rating from Aaa to Aa1 on the 16th, the “Sell USA” sentiment continues in the market.
- U.S. long-term Treasury yields have returned to levels seen before the Moody’s downgrade, indicating that the market has not reacted strongly to the news.

EURUSD Chart Analysis
As expected, the pair found support around the 1.11000 level and is now forming a price pattern within the upper trend channel. It is expected to break through this area without much resistance, with a potential to reach a high around the 1.14000 level in this rally. However, if this zone is broken, there is also the possibility of further upside toward the previous high near the 1.16000 level. We’ll keep a close eye on price movements around this resistance zone.
8752 Break Could Open Path to Retest Record HighsA clean break above the March 20 high of 8752 would generate a bullish setup, allowing for longs to be established with a stop beneath for protection, targeting a retest of the record high at 8898.
Price action has been bullish in recent days, with a break of minor downtrend resistance on Thursday triggering another wave of buying, backed by solid volumes. Combined with momentum signals that reinforce the trend, the bias remains to buy dips and breakouts.
If the price fails to sustain a break above 8752, the setup is invalidated.
Good luck!

Perfect grasp of key points Insight into market trendsWith the downgrade of the U.S. credit rating and the recent weak U.S. economic data, market expectations for a U.S. interest rate cut have increased. The U.S. dollar index has plummeted and is once again facing the 100 mark. Risk aversion sentiment has rebounded again, and gold has once again been sought after. It opened higher in the Asian session. However, we have mentioned the repetitiveness of sentiment many times recently, so we remind you not to chase the rise too much. We remind you to short near 3245, long at 3209, and short again near 3245. Both long and short positions are very accurate, giving perfect entry opportunities and successfully taking profits.
Judging from the current trend, gold is under pressure again in the European session near 3248, and the US session has fallen back. The short-term strength has turned into a wide sweep again. Focus on the gains and losses of 3230. If it falls below or looks at the gap area of 3206-3203, go long if it falls back and does not break. The upper pressure is still focused on the area near 3253-60. Short-term fluctuations are increasing. If there is any adjustment, we will notify you in time.
Operation suggestion: Go long in gold near 3206-03, look at 3230 and 3252!

GOLD → Retest of trend resistance before declineFX:XAUUSD is recovering amid uncertainty, but there is a fairly strong resistance zone ahead that could hold back growth and trigger a decline...
Since the opening of the session, the price has recovered slightly after a week-long decline. Growth is being held back by two-sided risks: on the one hand, pressure on the dollar and Moody's downgrade of the US credit rating are supporting the metal, while on the other hand, high bond yields and possible US trade agreements are limiting growth.
Investors are awaiting new statements from the Fed and are monitoring US negotiations with key partners. Amid concerns about fiscal stability and weak economic data, gold may remain in positive territory, but positive trade news could turn it down again.
Resistance levels: 3257, 3265
Support levels: 3206, 3153
A false breakout of the specified resistance will confirm the inability to continue growth. Consolidation after a false breakout of 3257 - 3265 below 3257 could trigger a reversal and a fall to areas of interest...
Best regards, R. Linda!
USDJPY → Support retest. Is the trend continuing?FX:USDJPY is storming key support within the local downtrend. Pressure is intensifying the dollar's decline...
The dollar index is beginning to fall, which is also reflected in the currency pair.
Selling pressure is intensifying. A local downtrend is forming, with an attempt to break through key support at 144.82, below which the path to 143.4 - 142 opens up. Consolidation of the price below 144.82 could intensify the sell-off.
Resistance levels: 145.34, 146.07
Support levels: 144.82, 143.44, 142.35
Global and local trends are downward, and the fall of the dollar can only provide additional resistance, which will intensify the sell-off. A break of key support and consolidation of prices below 144.82 will trigger further sell-offs.
Best regards, R. Linda!
BITCOIN → Consolidation in a triangle amid a BULLISH TRENDBINANCE:BTCUSDT is consolidating. A symmetrical triangle is forming against the backdrop of a bullish trend. Given the current technical nuances, we can bet that this consolidation is forming with the aim of continuing growth...
Fundamental nuances have gradually improved over the past few weeks, and the cryptocurrency market has revived slightly. Technically, I like the market structure on D1. After strong growth, the price is not going to fall, consolidation is forming. The market is bullish, after 2-3 weeks of consolidation, a bullish distribution is forming. The cycle has repeated itself twice. On D1, you can see how long tails are forming downward within the consolidation, indicating that whales are buying up all attempts to fall, keeping the market away from risk zones. Accordingly, at the moment, I would say that consolidation may continue for some time, and I do not rule out an attempt to retest the triangle support before growth, or entry into a deeper zone to retest the distant liquidity zones of 101400 and 100700 before continuing growth.
Resistance levels: 103.6, 104.4, 105.0
Support levels: 102.5, 101.4, 100.6
A decline can be considered if the price breaks the triangle support and sticks to 101400, forming a pre-breakdown consolidation (if there is no upward rebound).
However, at the moment, intraday trading can be considered, i.e., from the consolidation boundaries. A signal to exit the consolidation upwards and continue growth will be consolidation between 103.5 and 105.0 and compression towards the upper boundary.
Best regards, R. Linda!

3235 line becomes short-term resistance? Golden layout at night!🗞News side:
1. Trump's dialogue with Russia and Ukraine on ceasefire
2. The seriousness of the situation in Israel
📈Technical aspects:
In the short term, the three key factors affecting the gold market are the certainty of tariff policies, geopolitical risks, and the pace of the Fed's interest rate cuts. The Russian-Ukrainian conflict is a tail risk that deserves attention. Its impact on the global order far exceeds other geopolitical conflicts. It is expected that the conflict may see a key turning point in May and June, and the Fed's interest rate cut is likely to be implemented in the third quarter. At that time, the gold and silver markets may face greater negative pressure, and prices may fall back to 3000-2800 or even lower. Technically, the double top pattern at the daily level has been established. Although there is a certain resistance at the 3235 line of gold in the short term, considering the tail risk, the possibility of evolving into a triple top cannot be ruled out, and we need to be vigilant against the inducement of multi-money rises and washes.

USD/CAD Coiled for Breakout Ahead of Canada CPIThe USD/CAD rally failed into confluent uptrend resistance at the 200-day moving average last week with price breaking below the median-line today in early U.S. trade- threat for a deeper set-back here towards the 2022 high close / 2023 high at 1.3881/99 and the 61.8% retracement at 1.3852.
Losses would need to be limited to this slope IF price is heading higher on this stretch with a close above the 200DMA (currently ~1.4016) needed to fuel the next leg of the advance. Keep in mind we have Canada CPI on tap tomorrow.

Cup & Handle Pattern Breakout - ASTRALTechnical Analysis:
Current Price: ₹1419 (as per the image)
Target 1: ₹1600 (based on small Cup & Handle breakout, potential 200 point return)
Target 2: ₹1850 (after Super Trendline breakout)
Timeframe: 1 to 3 months (for targets to be achieved)
Integrated Analysis:
Bullish Technical Setup: You've identified a potential small Cup & Handle breakout, which, if confirmed with strong volume, could lead to the initial target of ₹1600. The subsequent Super Trendline breakout would further strengthen the bullish case and support the higher target of ₹1850.
High P/E: Astral trades at a significantly higher P/E (73.1) compared to the industry average (26.5). This suggests that the market has high growth expectations for the company.
Mixed EPS: While the latest quarter's EPS (₹4.25) is slightly higher than the previous quarter (₹4.09), the overall Profit Growth is negative (-7.52%). This indicates that while the company is profitable, its profitability has declined year-over-year.
Positive EPS Trend: The EPS of ₹19.6 is higher than the EPS preceding year of ₹17.0, and the EPS last year, which is ₹20.3.
Key Factors to Monitor:
Breakout Confirmation: As always, strong volume is crucial to confirm the validity of both the Cup & Handle and the Super Trendline breakouts.
Sustainability of Growth: The company needs to demonstrate that it can return to a positive profit growth trajectory to justify its high P/E ratio.
Future Earnings: Upcoming quarterly results will be critical to see if the company can maintain or improve its EPS.
Industry Dynamics: Any positive developments in the pipes and fittings sector could benefit Astral.
Conclusion:
The technical setup suggests a strong bullish potential for Astral, with targets of ₹1600 and ₹1850. However, the high P/E ratio and negative profit growth are important considerations. The market is likely pricing in future growth, and the company's ability to deliver on these expectations will determine whether it can reach these targets
USD Bulls Battle at SupportThe U.S. Dollar dropped into support early in the week at 99.95-100.15- a region defined by the 50% retracement of the late-April advance, the 2023 low-day close, and the 2024 low. Note that the 100% extension of the decline rests just lower at 99.55 and losses would need to be limited to this level IF Euro is heading higher on this stretch.
Initial resistance is at with the Friday close at 100.98 with a breach / close above the September high / high-day close (HDC) at 101.77/92 needed to fuel the next leg of the advance.

Beware of a sharp surge at the beginning of the week!🗞News side:
1. The India-Pakistan conflict has been eased, but India has increased its troops in Kashmir
2. The situation between Russia and Ukraine has escalated again
3. Trump has asked Walmart to absorb the impact of tariffs on its own
📈Technical aspects:
Gold jumped higher in the Asian session in the morning and once tested the 3250 resistance line. In the short term, the upward space is limited and there is a certain suppression. At present, gold is testing the 3210-3200 support level again. Judging from the 4H chart, if the gold price breaks through this short-term support level, it is likely to go to the 3170 level next, or even test the strong support level of 3150. If it gets effective support at 3210-3200, gold may test the resistance area again. Therefore, in the short-term trading in the Asia and Europe sessions, maintain the high-level short-selling and low-level long-selling cycle to participate. On the upside, focus on the 3250-3260 resistance area. If it breaks through, it is expected to look towards the 3300 line. On the downside, focus on the 3210-3200 support line. If it breaks through this support, look to the 3170-3150 important support.

Buy gold, it is expected to hit 3280-3290Fundamentals:
1. Focus on the speeches of Fed officials;
2. Pay attention to Trump's calls with Putin, Zelensky and others;
Technical aspects:
Gold continued its rebound momentum today, but failed to break through the short-term resistance area of 3250-3260 many times. However, after multiple tests, it will become easier to break through this area.
According to the current structure, gold rebounded from around 3120, and then built a secondary low point structure around 3154. Today, during the Asian session, it built a structural retracement area around 3206 again. As the low point is continuously raised, an obvious bullish structure is formed in the short term. For short-term trading, we can start to try to go long on gold based on the structural form; if gold successfully breaks through the 3250-3260 area, gold will continue to the 3280-3290 area, or even the area around 3320.
Trading strategy:
Consider going long on gold after gold retreats to the 3225-3215 area, TP: 3250-3260
