GOLD 1H CHART ROUTE MAP & TRADING PLAN FOR THE WEEKHey Everyone, Please see our updated 1h chart levels and targets for the coming week. We are seeing price play between two weighted levels with a gap above at 2647 and a gap below at 2618. We will need to see ema5 cross and lock on either weighted level to determine the next range. We will see levels tested side by side until one of the weighted levels break and lock to confirm direction for the next range. We will keep the above in mind when taking buys from dips. Our updated levels and weighted levels will allow us to track the movement down and then catch bounces up. We will continue to buy dips using our support levels taking 30 to 40 pips. As stated before each of our level structures give 20 to 40 pip bounces, which is enough for a nice entry and exit. If you back test the levels we shared every week for the past 24 months, you can see how effectively they were used to trade with or against short/mid term swings and trends. BULLISH TARGET 2647 EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK ABOVE 2647 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BULLISH TARGET 2668 EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK ABOVE 2668 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BULLISH TARGET 2691 EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK ABOVE 2691 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BULLISH TARGET 2719 BEARISH TARGETS 2618 EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK BELOW 2618 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BEARISH TARGET 2595 EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK BELOW 2595 WILL OPEN THE SWING RANGE SWING RANGE 2570 - 2551 As always, we will keep you all updated with regular updates throughout the week and how we manage the active ideas and setups.

XAUUSDHello Traders! 👋 What are your thoughts on GOLD? Gold has recently broken its ascending trendline and is currently trading below the resistance zone. It is expected that after a pullback to the broken level, the price will resume its downward movement, targeting at least the specified support level. If the price confirms the pullback and reacts at the resistance level, short positions can be considered. The initial target for this decline is the identified support zone on the chart. Don’t forget to like and share your thoughts in the comments! ❤️

GOLD ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone, What can I say...we totally smashed the pips today !!! Our chart idea and levels were respected perfectly allowing us to track the movement down with ema5 cross and lock confirmations on our weighted levels, giving us the bounces. The break from the retracement range opened and completed the swing range, which did exactly what it says on the tin giving us the full swing, which we were able to catch for a clean 280pips!! The beauty of our strategy to buy dips from our weighted levels allows us to catch pips regardless which way the market goes. We will continue to buy dips using our support levels taking 30 to 40 pips. As stated before each of our level structures give 20 to 40 pip bounces, which is enough for a nice entry and exit. If you back test the levels we shared every week for the past 24 months, you can see how effectively they were used to trade with or against short/mid term swings and trends.

How Often Do Professional Traders Actually Trade?One of the biggest misconceptions in trading is the belief that successful traders are constantly active in the market. Many imagine professionals glued to their screens, executing trade after trade, chasing every price movement. The reality is much different. Professional traders focus more on quality than quantity. They understand that in the world of trading, less is often more. The Pitfalls of Over-Trading Over-trading is one of the most common reasons traders struggle, particularly beginners. There’s a certain allure to being “in the action,” and it’s easy to confuse frequent trading with productivity. However, every time you take a position, you are exposing your account to risk. Without a solid reason for entering, backed by a clear trading edge, trading becomes nothing more than gambling. Amateur traders often fall into this trap. They believe that the more they trade, the faster they will achieve their goals. But what they fail to realize is that over-trading often leads to poor decision-making, over-leveraging, and emotional trading—all of which can quickly deplete a trading account. Professional traders take the opposite approach. They know that the market will always present opportunities, and there’s no need to chase every move. Instead, they focus on patiently waiting for setups that align with their proven strategies, where they have a clear edge. This disciplined approach minimizes unnecessary risk and maximizes profitability over the long term. The Foundation of Success: Mastering One Strategy Professional traders don’t rely on luck or randomness to succeed. Their consistency comes from mastering a specific trading strategy. Instead of dabbling in multiple approaches, they dedicate time and effort to understanding and refining one methodology. This gives them the ability to quickly identify high-quality setups that fit their criteria. For example, some traders specialize in price action trading, focusing on candlestick patterns and market structure to guide their decisions. Others might rely on Elliott Waves or fundamental analysis. The key is that they don’t deviate from their chosen method, and they don’t let market noise distract them. By sticking to one strategy, professional traders also develop a deep understanding of how it performs under different market conditions. This reduces uncertainty and helps them avoid impulsive trades, which often stem from frustration or fear of missing out (FOMO). Patience and Discipline: The Cornerstones of Professional Trading Patience is arguably the most underrated skill in trading. While it’s easy to talk about, it’s much harder to practice, especially for beginners who feel pressured to “do something” whenever the market moves. Professionals, however, are comfortable sitting on the sidelines for extended periods if necessary. They understand that waiting for the right opportunity is far more valuable than being constantly active. This patience stems from experience and the knowledge that not every market movement is worth trading. Many professionals only trade a few times a week, or even less, because they’re selective about the setups they act on. Discipline complements patience. It’s one thing to recognize a good trading opportunity, but it’s another to follow through with proper execution. Professional traders have strict plans in place, outlining their entry, stop loss, and target levels. They don’t deviate from these plans, even when emotions or market conditions tempt them to. This disciplined approach ensures that their trading decisions are consistent and not influenced by short-term emotions or irrational impulses. Trading Frequency: How Often Do Professionals Trade? The frequency of trades among professionals varies, but those who achieve consistent success often lean towards less frequent trading. Swing traders, who operate on daily or 4-hour charts, might place only a handful of trades each week or even month. Positional traders take this approach even further, sometimes executing just a few well-considered trades per year. The common denominator among these traders is their selectivity. They don’t trade for the sake of trading. Instead, every position they take is deliberate, guided by a well-defined setup that aligns with their strategy. For them, trading less frequently doesn’t mean missing out—it means focusing on high-probability opportunities while avoiding unnecessary risks. One reason professionals favor fewer trades is their preference for higher timeframes. Daily and 4-hour charts provide a clearer, more reliable perspective on the market, filtering out the noise and unpredictability of smaller timeframes. This approach allows them to make informed, calculated decisions and avoid the stress and over-analysis that come with constant market monitoring. The Power of Quality Over Quantity One of the most important lessons in trading is that quality matters far more than quantity. Professional traders know this, which is why they prioritize high-probability setups over constant activity. They view trading as a long-term game, where consistency is the goal. Every trade they take has a clear reason behind it, supported by their strategy and risk management rules. They don’t trade for excitement or to “make up” for losses. Instead, they focus on making the right decisions at the right time. For aspiring traders, the message is simple: slow down. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that more trades equal more success. Take the time to master one strategy, be patient for quality setups, and stay disciplined in your execution. Conclusion Professional forex trading is about precision, not frequency. By trading less often and focusing on high-quality setups, professionals minimize risk and maximize their chances of success. They’ve learned to embrace patience and discipline, understanding that trading isn’t about chasing every move—it’s about waiting for the right opportunities and making the most of them. If you’re serious about becoming a successful trader, it’s time to rethink the idea that you need to be constantly active. Take a step back, refine your strategy, and remember: the best traders know when to trade and, just as importantly, when not to.

GOLD ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone, Same as yesterday we are still playing within the retracement range and consolidating before FOMC. 2628 weighted level is still holding support and remains open and failure to lock below with ema5 will see a bounce from this level. However, EMA5 cross and lock below this level and we are likely to see the swing range open. We have FOMC release in 45 minutes so need to keep this in mind for the non organic movement that will need to settle down for the levels to start respecting. We will continue to buy dips using our support levels taking 30 to 40 pips. As stated before each of our level structures give 20 to 40 pip bounces, which is enough for a nice entry and exit. If you back test the levels we shared every week for the past 24 months, you can see how effectively they were used to trade with or against short/mid term swings and trends.

Profitable SMC Smart MoneyConcept Strategy Explained I will teach you how to trade liquidity grab, a trap, inducement, order block and imbalance. I will share with you my Smart Money Concept strategy for trading forex & gold. We will study a real SMC trading setup that I took on a live stream with my students. Trend Analysis With Structure Mapping The first step in our trading strategy will be the analysis of a market trend on a daily time frame with structure mapping. Analyzing GBPNZD on a daily time frame, we can see that the conditions for a bullish trend are met. Liquidity Zones Analysis The second step will be to find liquidity - supply and demand zones on a daily time frame. According to our rules, here are 3 liquidity zones that I spotted on GBPNZD. We see 2 demand zones and 1 supply zone. Test of Liquidity Zone The third step will be to wait for a test of a liquidity zone. And on that step, we should remember an important rule: We will wait only for a test of a liquidity zone that ALIGN with the market trend. It means that we will wait for a test of a demand zone in a bullish trend. We will wait for a test of a supply zone in a bearish trend. The only demand zones that meets these criteria on GBPNZD is Demand Zone 1. It aligns with a bullish trend. We don't consider Demand Zone 2, because a bearish violation of a Demand Zone 1 will be a Change of Character and a violation of a bearish trend. And here is how a test of a liquidity zone should look like. The price should simply reach that. Liquidity Grab & Imbalance After we identified a test of a significant liquidity zone that aligns with a market trend, we will start analyzing lower time frames. We will look for a liquidity grab, order block and imbalance on 4H and 1H time frames. Here is a liquidity grab that is confirmed by a bullish imbalance. We see a false violation of a liquidity zone, followed by a high momentum bullish candle. It will be our strong bullish signal. Order Block Zone In order to identify the entry point, the next step will be to identify the order block zone. According to our rules, here is the order block zone on a 4H time frame. Entry Level Our entry level will be the level of the upper boundary of the order block zone. Here is such a level on GBPNZD. A buy limit order should be set on that level. Please, note that in that particular case we don't need a 1H time frame analysis, because we have a confirmation signal on a 4H time frame. We will analyse an hourly time frame only when THERE IS NO SIGNAL on a 4H time frame. Stop Loss & Take Profit Safe stop loss should be below the lowest low of a bearish movement. To safely calculate a stop loss in pips for the trade, simply take 0.5 ATR - Average True Range. For Average True Range indicator , take the default settings - 14 length. Here is a safe stop loss level on GBPNZD. ATR is 55 pips. Our stop loss for the trade is 28 pips. Take profit for the trade will be based on the closest 4H liquidity - supply zone. That is the closest supply zone that I spotted on GBPNZD on a 4H time frame. Your target level should be a couple of pips below a supply zone. Look how perfectly the market reached the target! As you can see, that trading strategy is quite complex and combines different important elements. But what I like about this SMC trading strategy is that it truly makes sense. The intentions of Smart Money are crystal clear here and the trade execution rules are straight forward. ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️

Lingrid | GOLD Post-FED Shakeup. Possible Bearish OpportunityThe price perfectly fulfilled my previous idea. It hit the TP. OANDA:XAUUSD made a sharp decline after FED rate decision and FOMC. The price broke and closed below the lows of the past three weeks, which could lead to a fake breakout, so we should closely monitor the price action. Additionally, it broke and closed below the trendline that had supported the price for over a month. I think the market may gradually move down toward last month's low by the end of the year. With high-impact news coming today, there is potential for unexpected moves. Overall, I expect the market to bounce off the upward trendline and the resistance zone around 2640-2650, followed by another bearish move. My goal is support zone around 2570 Traders, if you liked this idea or if you have your own opinion about it, write in the comments. I will be glad 👩‍💻

Lingrid | GOLD Weekly Market Technical AnalysisThe recent movement in the OANDA:XAUUSD market indicates a period of consolidation after the initial upward momentum and the following pullback suggests that the market may not yet be ready to continue rising. It is important to note that the market is still trading within the range of the previous monthly candle. If you look at the last few months of the previous years you will notice that the market has usually been in sideways movement. This may be what is happening in the current market. On the weekly timeframe, the market has formed a long-tailed bar, which resembles a fakey bar reversal pattern. This indicates that the price made a false breakout above the two previous weekly highs. Such a pattern suggests the possibility of the price moving below last month’s low towards the support level around 2530. On the daily timeframe, the price action is showing lower highs and higher lows, thus creating a triangle pattern. This pattern is typically viewed as a trend continuation pattern. However, due to the fakey pattern on the weekly, there is a likelihood that the price may move lower. Overall, I anticipate that the price to fall if the market breaks below the weekly low at 2,627. Additionally, with next week packed with high impact news expected to increase volatility, it is crucial for us to remain vigilant. Traders, if you liked this idea or if you have your own opinion about it, write in the comments. I will be glad 👩‍💻

How to Trade Christmas and New Year Winter Holidays As the winter holidays are already around the corner, you should know exactly when to stop trading and close your trades, and when to resume. In this article, you will learn how Christmas and New Year holidays affect the financial markets and I will share with you my trading schedule. First, let's discuss how winter holidays influence the markets. Winter holidays lead to a dramatic reduction in trading volumes. Many traders and investors take vacations in that period. Major financial institutions, banks, hedge funds often operate with reduced staffing and early closes or are completely close for holidays. All these factors inevitably lead to the diminished trading activity. Look at the schedule of official banking holidays in many countries. Since Tuesday 24th, the banks are officially closed in Europe, UK, USA and so on. But why should you care? If you have free time, why can't you continue trading? Even if you trade technical analysis, you should admit the fact the fundamentals are the main driver for significant price movements. One of the major sources of high impact fundamentals is the economic news releases in the economic calendar. Look at the economic calendar. You can see that the last day of high impact news releases will be Friday, December 20th. After that, the calendar is completely empty. The absence of impactful fundamentals will inevitably make the markets stagnate, making trading very boring. Above is the EURUSD price chart with ATR technical indicator (the one that measure the market volatility). We see a clear drop in volatility during a winter holiday season. You can behold a similar pattern on Gold chart. With the big politicians taking vacations during the holidays season, we tend to see the local easing of geological tensions accompanied by a lack of significant foreign and domestic policy actions and announcements. That's the US congressional calendar. There are no sessions since December 23rd. But there is one more reason why you should not trade during winter holidays. The absence of big players on the market will decrease the overall trading volumes - the liquidity. Lower liquidity will unavoidably increase the bid/ask spreads. The widened spreads will make trading more costly, especially if you are scalping or day trading. And when should you resume trading? It always depends on how actively the markets wake up after holidays. The minimal starting day will be January 6th. I usually do not trade this week and just watch how the markets starts moving. I prefer to begin my trading year from Monday next week, the January 13th. Holidays seasons will be the best period for you to do the back testing and learning. Pick a trading strategy that you want to trade with in a new year and sacrifice your time to back test it on different instruments. Learn important theory and various techniques, relax and prepare your self for a new trading season. Have a great time, traders! ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️

THE KOG REPORT THE KOG REPORT: In last week’s KOG Report we said we would be looking for the levels of resistance above at the 2670-75 region where we anticipated the short trade to come from and the lower levels of support standing at 2630 where we wanted to see a reaction in price. We managed to get the short just below around the 2665 region giving us a nice start to the week in Camelot, targeting lower and breaking through 2630. We then continued to short completing the bias target levels as well as the red box targets which were shared with the wider community. Pre-FOMC we suggested traders pause and wait for the reversal which we managed to get based on the indicator and the FOMC report enabling us to capture the move upside into the close of the week, giving us a phenomenal pip capture on Gold. Add to that the other pairs we’ve traded and analysed through the week, and it was a nice end to week giving us an opportunity to now take it lightly for the remainder of the year. So, what can we expect in the week ahead? For this week we will be expecting thin volume so potential for ranging and slow movement with sudden burst of unexpected volume. We again have the key level of 2630-35 above which is a reasonable target region for the start of the week as long as the support level just below here holds us up 2610. If we can start the week with a move into that region we feel an opportunity to long is there with the first region being 2630 and above that 2635. 2635 is the level we’re anticipating a break of into the higher levels of 2650-55 and above that 2660-6, which is where we ideally want to be waiting for the short opportunity to take this back down into the lower levels with potential to then break below the 2600 level. We say it a lot but this week and most probably for the remainder of the year we will be taking this level to level, hence the report is showing you’re the 4H red boxes which together with our 15min and 1H indicators work well to capture the moves for intra-day trading across all pairs. KOG’s bias for the week: Bearish below 2660 with targets below 2610, 2596, 2580 and 2578 Bullish on break of 2660 with targets above 2667 and above that 2670 RED BOXES: Break of 2625 for 2630, 2635, 2645 and 2660 in extension of the move Break of 2610 for 2606, 2590, and 2680 in extension of the move Please do support us by hitting the like button, leaving a comment, and giving us a follow.

Mastering RSI: The Complete and CORRECT Way to Trade ItThe Relative Strength Index (RSI) is one of the most popular and widely used indicators in trading. Despite its prevalence, many traders misuse it or are unaware of its full potential. RSI isn't just about identifying overbought and oversold conditions; when applied correctly, it becomes a robust tool for trend confirmation, reversals, momentum acceleration, and much more. This guide explores how to unlock the full power of RSI and avoid common pitfalls. What Is RSI? Developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr., RSI measures the speed and magnitude of price changes over a specified period. It oscillates between 0 and 100, with the following traditional zones: Above 70: Indicates overbought conditions, where the price may reverse or consolidate. Below 30: Indicates oversold conditions, where the price may rebound or reverse upward. However, it’s important to note that RSI above 70 or below 30 can sometimes indicate trend acceleration rather than an immediate reversal—especially in strong trending markets, discussed in #6 The real reversal signal comes after RSI crosses back below 70 (for overbought) or back above 30 (for oversold). Understanding this distinction is critical to using RSI effectively. 1. Overbought and Oversold Conditions The classic use of RSI involves identifying overbought and oversold levels: Overbought: RSI rises above 70 and then drops back below it, signaling potential selling pressure. Oversold: RSI falls below 30 and then moves back above it, indicating potential buying interest. These signals are more effective when combined with tools like support/resistance levels or trendlines. 2. Centerline Crossover The 50-level on RSI is a reliable trend indicator: Above 50: Bullish momentum dominates. Below 50: Bearish momentum dominates. Use these crossovers to confirm trends: Enter long trades when RSI is above 50. Enter short trades when RSI is below 50. 3. Divergences Divergences between RSI and price can signal potential trend reversals: Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower lows, but RSI forms higher lows. Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher highs, but RSI forms lower highs. These divergences highlight weakening momentum and often precede reversals. 4. RSI Patterns RSI can form recognizable chart patterns, such as triangles, head-and-shoulders, or double tops/bottoms. These patterns often precede price moves: Triangles: A breakout on RSI often signals a strong price move. Double Tops : A topping pattern on RSI warns of potential price declines. 5. Failure Swings Failure swings occur when RSI enters an extreme zone (above 70 or below 30) but fails to sustain momentum and reverses. This is a strong reversal signal and can precede significant price moves: Bullish Failure Swing: RSI dips below 30. It rises but dips again, staying above 30. RSI breaks its previous high, signaling a bullish reversal. Bearish Failure Swing: RSI rises above 70. It falls but rises again, staying below 70. RSI breaks its previous low, signaling a bearish reversal. How to trade it: For a bullish failure swing, enter long when RSI confirms the higher low and breaks above the previous swing high. For a bearish failure swing, enter short when RSI confirms the lower high and breaks below the previous swing low. 6. Momentum Acceleration Strategy While RSI is traditionally used for spotting overbought and oversold conditions, it can also identify momentum acceleration during strong trends: Above 70: In strong uptrends, when RSI rises above 70 and stays there, it signals upward acceleration, indicating buyers are in control. Below 30: In strong downtrends, when RSI dips below 30 and stays there, it signals downward acceleration, with sellers driving the market lower. How to trade it: In uptrends, treat RSI staying above 70 as a sign of strength and look for pullbacks to enter long positions. In downtrends, use brief rebounds as opportunities to short while RSI remains below 30. 7. Multi-Timeframe Strategy Analyzing RSI across multiple timeframes enhances accuracy: Use the higher timeframe (e.g., daily) to identify the overall trend. Use the lower timeframe (e.g., 1-hour) to time trade entries. Example: If RSI on the daily chart is above 50 (bullish trend), look for hourly RSI dips below 30 to enter long trades. If RSI on the daily chart is below 50 (bearish trend), wait for hourly RSI to reach overbought levels above 70 to short. Tips for Advanced RSI Use: Adjust RSI Settings: Shorter periods (e.g., 7) make RSI more sensitive, while longer periods (e.g., 21) smooth out signals for longer-term trends. Combine RSI with Other Tools: Use RSI alongside moving averages, Fibonacci retracements, or Candlesticks. Risk Management: Always pair RSI signals with a stop-loss strategy to manage risk effectively. PRO TIP: As I like to say "Trade the price, not the indicator." Use RSI as a confirmation tool, not the main signal. For example, a price reversal from resistance or a bullish engulfing candle becomes far more reliable when backed by RSI signals. Conclusion RSI is far more versatile than many traders realize. While it’s traditionally used for identifying overbought and oversold levels, strategies like momentum acceleration and failure swings add depth to its utility. By combining RSI with centerline crossovers, divergences, multi-timeframe analysis, and chart patterns, traders can pinpoint entries, reversals, and momentum shifts with more precision and trade more confidently. Key Takeaways: - RSI staying above 70 or below 30 in trends signals momentum acceleration. - Failure swings offer reliable reversal signals when RSI breaks key levels. - Combining RSI strategies with other tools and proper risk management leads to more confidence

GOLD → Interest rates are down, but why is gold falling?FX:XAUUSD falls to 2581. Yesterday's news had a negative impact on the market and it's not about rate cuts. Technically the price confirms the bearish nature of the market. The main reason for the decline in gold prices is the Federal Reserve's caution about lowering interest rates amid the latest economic data. The US central bank lowered the interest rate by 0.25% to the range of 4.25%-4.50% as expected, but for the next year it forecasts 2 rate cuts, which is much less than expected. The Fed's hawkishness has played its role: the dollar is rising, markets are falling. Today all eyes are on GDP and initial jobless claims. Technically, the price is out of the global channel, breaking the support, gold updates the low to 2581. Resistance levels: 2620, 2630, 2636 Support levels: 2616, 2612, 2603 After updating the low, a retest of the previously broken channel boundary and imbalance zones is formed. False breakdown of key resistance, for example 2620 or 2630 and subsequent consolidation of the price below these zones may lead to further decline. Regards R. Linda!

GOLD 4H CHART ROUTE MAP & TRADING PLAN FOR THE WEEKHey Everyone, Please see our updated 4h chart levels and targets for the coming week. We are seeing ema5 play between two weighted levels with a gap above at 2629 and a gap below at 2600. We need ema5 to cross and lock above or below the weighted Goldturns to determine the next range. We will see levels tested side by side until one of the weighted levels break and lock to confirm direction for the next range. We will keep the above in mind when taking buys from dips. Our updated levels and weighted levels will allow us to track the movement down and then catch bounces up. We will continue to buy dips using our support levels taking 30 to 40 pips. As stated before each of our level structures give 20 to 40 pip bounces, which is enough for a nice entry and exit. If you back test the levels we shared every week for the past 24 months, you can see how effectively they were used to trade with or against short/mid term swings and trends. BULLISH TARGET 2629 EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK ABOVE 2629 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BULLISH TARGET 2655 EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK ABOVE 2655 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BULLISH TARGET 2694 EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK ABOVE 2694 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BULLISH TARGET 2726 BEARISH TARGETS 2600 EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK BELOW 2600 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BEARISH TARGET 2561 EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK BELOW 2561 WILL OPEN THE SWING RANGE SWING RANGE 2518 - 2486 As always, we will keep you all updated with regular updates throughout the week and how we manage the active ideas and setups. Thank you all for your likes, comments and follows, we really appreciate it! Mr Gold GoldViewFX

GOLD 4H CHART ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone, Great start to the week with our chart idea playing out, as analysed. We started the day with our Bullish target hit at 2629 with no cross and lock above confirming the rejection. We are now seeing price head towards the bearish gap below. We are looking for price to stay supported above this level to continue to use our smaller timeframes for entries to buy dips, unless we see a cross and lock below 2600, in which case the lower range will open up. We will see levels tested side by side until one of the weighted levels break and lock to confirm direction for the next range. We will keep the above in mind when taking buys from dips. Our updated levels and weighted levels will allow us to track the movement down and then catch bounces up. We will continue to buy dips using our support levels taking 30 to 40 pips. As stated before each of our level structures give 20 to 40 pip bounces, which is enough for a nice entry and exit. If you back test the levels we shared every week for the past 24 months, you can see how effectively they were used to trade with or against short/mid term swings and trends. BULLISH TARGET 2629 - DONE EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK ABOVE 2629 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BULLISH TARGET 2655 EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK ABOVE 2655 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BULLISH TARGET 2694 EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK ABOVE 2694 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BULLISH TARGET 2726 BEARISH TARGETS 2600 EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK BELOW 2600 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BEARISH TARGET 2561 EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK BELOW 2561 WILL OPEN THE SWING RANGE SWING RANGE 2518 - 2486 As always, we will keep you all updated with regular updates throughout the week and how we manage the active ideas and setups.
