I often talk about patience, planning, strategy, and money management, yet many of you tell me that you lack patience, can’t resist impulses, and struggle to follow your plan when emotions take over. So today, we’re skipping the theory and diving straight into practical exercises that will help you train your patience just like you would train a muscle. If you...

After reaching a high in mid-February, Silver formed a lower high on the 25th, even as Gold hit a new all-time high. Following the recent decline in both metals, this pattern repeated itself—Silver did not make a new low, whereas Gold did, but found support in a key zone. However, analyzing the price structure, Silver’s chart remains bearish. In recent trading...

Since the end of January, I have been anticipating a correction in the TVC:DXY , with a target around the 106 support level. This correction has unfolded as expected, with the Dollar Index touching 106 on Monday, followed by another test and reversal yesterday. A key observation is that since the early February spike, the DXY has been trading within a falling...

Yesterday, Gold once again rebounded from the newly formed support around 2890. However, after reaching the 2920 resistance zone, the price started to decline again. While the daily candle on the chart appears as a Doji, signaling indecision, overnight price action suggests renewed downside pressure, testing support once more. The overall chart structure and...

Since reaching its recent all-time high of 22,232, the PEPPERSTONE:NAS100 has dropped 1,000 points. While this might seem like a significant decline, it actually represents less than a 5% correction—hardly a major pullback. This drop has brought the index into a key confluence support zone, raising the common question: Is the correction over? In my opinion,...

Yesterday was marked by significant volatility in Gold. After reaching an intraday high of 2945, the price plummeted more than 500 pips, hitting a low of around 2890. As I highlighted in my previous analysis, 2930 was a key pivot level, and breaking below it triggered an accelerated decline. This level has now turned into resistance and was already tested...

Every day, traders—especially beginners—ask the same recurring question: ❓ What do you think Gold will do today? Will it go up or down? While this seems like a logical question, it’s actually completely wrong and one that no professional trader would ever ask in this way. Trading is not about predicting the market like a fortune teller. Instead, it's about...

The Pygmalion Effect is a psychological phenomenon where higher expectations lead to improved performance, while low expectations result in poor outcomes. This concept, often explored in education and leadership, also plays a crucial role in trading psychology. Your beliefs about your trading abilities, strategies, and the market can directly influence your...

In my USD/JPY analysis last week, I mentioned a high probability of the pair breaking support and continuing its decline. That scenario has played out, with USD/JPY dropping below the key 151 support zone and now trading around 149.50. An upside correction may be next, potentially providing traders with an opportunity to enter short and ride the downtrend. ...

Over the past three weeks, Bitcoin has remained virtually unchanged, trading within a range of 95K–97K. However, yesterday, the price broke below this range, dropping to the 91K confluence support—a key level I’ve highlighted in previous analyses. After briefly spiking as low as 87K, BTC has rebounded to around 90K, but if we analyze the price action...

Since the beginning of the year, Gold has closed every week in the green, with the last four weeks marking all-time highs. However, not even trees grow to the sky—let alone gold. 🌳✨ Looking at the posted chart, we can see that despite reaching ATHs and trading above 2900 over the past three weeks, the price has consistently reversed sharply from those highs....

The crypto space is evolving fast, and with it, the influence of social media figures has grown exponentially. Crypto influencers have become a major source of information, ideas, and trends for traders and investors alike. But are they really helping, or are they just creating noise? Let's break it down into three categories: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly....

After reaching a new all-time high on Thursday, Gold has entered a consolidation phase again, fluctuating within a range of 2,920 to 2,940. This period of consolidation suggests that the market is pausing before deciding on its next move. The overall trend remains bullish as long as the 2,920 support level holds. A decisive breakout above 2,940 could signal...

Yesterday, Gold continued its rebound from Friday’s sell-off. Although I expected a new leg down from my 2920-2925 sell zone, the price exceeded that level and retested the all-time high zone for the third time in just eight days. This type of price action—strong reversals after a sell-off—could indicate that bulls are not done yet, making a breakout above 2940...

Over the past two weeks, I have drawn attention to major USD pairs, suggesting that a reversal could be imminent and that an upside correction might follow the downtrend from the last quarter of 2024. NZD/USD is no exception. After finding strong support around the 0.5550 zone, the pair began to reverse to the upside. Following last week’s higher low, it broke...

Yesterday was a very quiet day for TRADENATION:XAUUSD traders. After a normal rebound from the 2880 support, the price hovered around 2900 in a low-volatility environment. Overnight, bulls found some strength and pushed the price to a high of 2916. At the time of writing, Gold is trading around 2910. In my view, this is merely a correction following Friday’s...

Bitcoin’s price action over the past two months has been frustrating, with the price stuck in a range. The brief drop to the 90K zone following Trump’s tax announcement was quickly reversed. However, after a spike above 100K, BTC has once again been consolidating below this key level for the past two weeks. At the time of writing, BTC/USD is sitting on newly...

In my post last week about EUR/USD, I argued that the pair could rise to 1.05 and that dips around 1.03 should be seen as buying opportunities. Indeed, after briefly dipping below 1.03, the pair reversed to the upside and reached my 1.05 target. Currently, the pair is undergoing a small correction and is trading at 1.0460 at the time of writing. However, my...
