As anticipated by many, following Trump’s election, Bitcoin experienced a significant surge. On November 14th, it encountered its first notable correction during this upward momentum. In early December, Bitcoin crossed the critical 100k milestone for the first time. However, this achievement was followed by a swift pullback. Since then, dips have consistently...

The cryptocurrency world is a gold rush for dreamers chasing life-changing gains. With stories of tokens skyrocketing in value, the appeal is undeniable. But here’s the reality: with over 5,300 new tokens hitting the market daily in 2024, as reported by CoinGecko, your odds of finding the next PEPE, BONK, or SHIBAINU are incredibly slim. Most new cryptocurrencies...

As expected, a correction followed, but the bulls stepped in decisively at the $2 zone, halting further declines and establishing a strong support level. Currently, XRP/USD is trading within a bullish flag pattern and...

These patterns are particularly effective for traders who prefer trading with the trend, offering clear entry and exit points. They appear frequently in trending markets and represent short consolidations before the trend resumes. In this guide, we’ll...

In my morning video analysis, I noted that after yesterday's strong bearish engulfing candle, the most likely scenario was a continuation of the down move, with the next support level identified around the 2660-2665 zone. The price indeed reached this area, but I believe this support is too obvious and likely to break, instead of a meaningful reversal. At this...

Solana has been one of the standout performers this year(from large market caps), with its price steadily climbing around 300%. In March, Solana’s market cap hit a new all-time high, following a price ATH in November. After this achievement, the price experienced a healthy 20% correction, pausing in an old resistance zone that has now turned into...

EUR/JPY traded within a nearly perfect ascending channel from March 2022 to July 2024. This channel, a hallmark of the pair's bullish momentum, was decisively broken to the downside in the beginning of August. After hitting an all-time high of 175 during the summer, the pair reversed sharply, dropping 2,000 pips and breaking below the channel's long-term support....

After reaching a low of 188, GBP/JPY reversed to the upside in a normal corrective move and found resistance near the 192 zone. A subsequent drop followed, but instead of resuming its downtrend, the pair began consolidating within a range. The emerging pattern, while not perfect, resembles an inverse Head & Shoulders. A break above the neckline would confirm this...

December is usually a bearish month for the USD. However, this time, the situation could be different. The USD seems well-supported by fundamentals, and the technicals are looking bullish. Looking at the 4-hour chart, we can see that after the local high at 108, the index started to fall and broke below the support from the April-May highs (old resistance)....

The GBP/USD currency pair has been in a downtrend for quite some time. Recently, however, after dropping just below the important psychological level of 1.25, the pair started to reverse and show some upward movement. While this rise is notable, it is important to recognize that it appears to be corrective in nature. The price is currently forming a rising wedge...

It’s been a highly bullish week for OANDA:XAUUSD traders, with prices not only reaching but surpassing all my targets one by one. As I outlined in Monday's outlook, if the bulls manage to break above the 2655–2660 resistance zone, the 2785 level would be exposed, and more importantly, the price would very likely move beyond 2700. Yesterday, that prediction...

In my Monday analysis, I noted that Silver was gathering momentum just below the 31.40 resistance level, with a high probability of breaking upward. Such a breakout could pave the way for a significant rise of approximately 2000 pips. As anticipated, the price broke above 31.40, climbing nearly 1000 pips before beginning a period of correction and...

As expected, the 2655–2660 resistance zone gave way, and after a confirmed breakout, OANDA:XAUUSD moved higher, surpassing the initial target of 2685 and hitting a local high above 2700. The price then formed a double top around the 2704 level (5m chart) before entering a normal correction phase. During this pullback, it tested the 2675 zone, which held as a...

In my previous posts about EUR/USD, I discussed the potential for an upside correction following the break below the 1.05 support level, the drop to 1.0330, and the subsequent reversal. I suggested that this upward movement could potentially push the price toward the 1.0670 resistance zone. Indeed, the pair did rise, reaching an intraday high of 1.0628 during...

After a strong reversal from the 1.6 low, which gained 4,000 pips, GBP/AUD encountered significant resistance around the 2.0 zone. This resistance led to a prolonged consolidation phase lasting over a year. On the weekly chart, this consolidation appears to have formed an ascending triangle, a bullish continuation pattern. At this point, there is a high...
