WLDUSD | Long Setup | Potential Correction | (May 2025)WLDUSD | Long Setup | Potential Correction After Downtrend | (May 2025) 1️⃣ Insight Summary WLD has been showing some strength recently, following Bitcoin's bounce. Although the bigger trend has been bearish since December 2024, we're now seeing signs of a potential short-term correction upward. 2️⃣ Trade Parameters Bias: Long Entry Zone: $0.90 – $0.92835 (wait for a reclaim and retest as support) Stop Loss: $0.765 TP1: $1.22 TP2: $1.32 TP3: $1.84 Final Target (Stretch Goal): $2.50 Partial Exits: TP1 and TP2 will be aggressive exits, while the rest of the position will be managed more passively. 3️⃣ Key Notes ✅ WLD is reacting to Bitcoin's recent strength, which could support this corrective move. ❌ However, the macro trend is still bearish, so it’s essential to wait for confirmation (reclaiming the entry zone as support). 📊 Keep an eye on BTC and broader market sentiment to gauge continuation potential. 4️⃣ Follow-up Note Will review the setup and update if we break the current entry zone or reject before confirmation.

CADJPY RALLIED IN THE WAKE OF STEADY RATE BY BOJEarlier today, May 1st, The Bank of Japan (BoJ) maintained its interest rates at 0.5%, with a dovish outlook, including trimmed growth and inflation forecasts. This stance suggests a lower likelihood of near-term rate hikes, this priced in a weaker Yen and hence the Yen lagged across board. The Canadian Dollar on the other hand being strengthened by the recent rebounds in oil prices took advantage of that, hence the surge in CADJPY. TECHNICAL VIEW From technical perspective, prices were supported at 104.35 after it broke out of a major psychological barrier level of 104. Price rallied to the strong supply zone of 105 and currently hovering around 105.06. From technical lenses, the oscillators: RSI and Stochastic are over stretched hinting signs of possible pullback as they have gone above over bought levels and created bearish divergence: price is forming Higher High and both indicators are possibly forming Lower High simultaneously. Other things being equal, analysts likely predict price to drop with potential target around 104.35 and if that is taken out, the next potential targets would be 104 and 103. On the other hand, if the bullish momentum is sustained, a break above 105.39 would usher in 106 psychological level. Breakouts of these levels are not ruled out as per analysts.

Nasdaq-100 Goes Back to 'PRE-PAIN' 20 000 Level. Series IIApril has gone.. Wow.. Duh..!? ..really? ... or still not!? Briefly a month ago or so, we have examined at our wonderful @PandorraResearch Team what is 'Revenge Trading', watch our recent 'Educational' idea right here (if you missed one), to learn what sort of lessons we should know about it. Indeed, it was a really bad story, to purchase in late March 2025 most-hyped so-known Mag Seven stock that came flagships of the recent stock market collapse. First of all, watch how it's been below (late March 2025) 👇👇 What's happened next just in a week or two since our publications has been made? ⚒ Russell 2000 Index TVC:RUT 95% stocks were: DOWN ⚒ S&P500 Index SP:SPX 96% stocks were: DOWN ⚒ Nasdaq-100 NASDAQ:NDX as well as Dow Jones Industrial Averages DJIA indices: 97% stocks were DOWN ⚒ Magnificent Seven: ALL STOCKS WERE DOWN Since Nasdaq-100 went back to pre-pain 20'000 Level, lets repeat some lessons. Revenge trading is DANGEROUS AND HARMFUL pracrice where traders, after suffering a loss, attempt to immediately recoup their losses by making impulsive, emotionally-driven trades. This behavior is widely recognized as one of the major reasons traders lose significant amounts of money and often blow up their accounts. Why Revenge Trading Is Bad 1. Emotional Decision-Making Replaces Strategy When traders engage in revenge trading, they abandon their carefully crafted trading strategies and risk management rules. Instead, trades are made based on anger, frustration, or the desire to "get back" at the market. This emotional state clouds judgment, leading to irrational decisions such as increasing position sizes recklessly, disregarding stop-loss orders, or chasing trades without proper analysis. As a result, the likelihood of making successful trades plummets. 2. Escalating Losses and Account Blowups The urge to recover losses quickly often leads traders to double down or over-leverage their positions, exposing a large portion of their capital to additional risk. Statistically, 80% of revenge trading ends disastrously, with only a small fraction experiencing temporary success before ultimately facing larger losses. This cycle of chasing losses can rapidly erode trading capital, making recovery increasingly difficult. 3. Psychological Burnout and Stress Revenge trading is mentally and emotionally exhausting. The constant cycle of loss and frantic attempts to recover can lead to stress, depression, and burnout. This further impairs decision-making, creating a vicious cycle of poor performance and deteriorating mental health. 4. Long-Term Damage to Trading Habits Repeatedly succumbing to revenge trading ingrains bad habits, making it difficult for traders to maintain discipline and consistency in the long run. This lack of consistency undermines the potential for sustainable profitability and can end trading careers prematurely. Recent Real-World Examples Recent years have seen numerous cautionary tales illustrating the dangers of revenge trading (all links are from r/wallstreetbets subreddit for learing/ educational purposes only): $40,000 Lost on NVDA Options (2024). A trader repeatedly doubled down on Nvidia (NVDA) put options during its price rally in mid-2024. Despite initial small wins, the trader, driven by the urge to recover losses, continued to increase his position size, ultimately losing over $40,000. $26,000 Lost in 20 Minutes on SPX. A Reddit user reported losing $26,000 in about 20 minutes trading the S&P 500 index (SPX) after prices dropped sharply. The loss was the result of impulsive trades made in an attempt to quickly recover from earlier setbacks. From $27,000 to $0 in Three Days. Another trader turned $500 into $27,000 in just a few days, only to lose it all within 48 hours after a market reversal. Instead of taking profits or stepping back, the trader kept chasing losses with increasingly risky trades, ending up with nothing. $100,000 Loss on a Yen Carry Trade. A trader, influenced by news of geopolitical tensions, made a large leveraged bet on the yen. After an initial loss, he refused to cut his losses and doubled down, ultimately losing $100,000 instead of accepting a smaller $30,000 hit. More juicy stories are to be collected... These stories are not isolated incidents. They are echoed across trading forums and social media, serving as stark warnings of how quickly revenge trading can destroy even substantial gains. Conclusion Revenge trading is DANGEROUS AND HARMFUL because it replaces rational, strategic decision-making with emotional reactions, leading to escalating financial losses, psychological distress, and long-term damage to trading discipline. The real-world examples from the past year underscore that no trader-regardless of experience-is immune to its risks. The best defense is to recognize the urge, step away, and return only with a clear, objective mindset and a disciplined strategy. -- Best wishes, @PandorraResearch Team 😎

US30: Time to Reverse or Push Higher?Hey Traders, As you can see on the chart, price tapped into a major level around the $37,000 area, where we saw a weekly liquidity grab followed by a 4H change of character — leading to a strong push up to the $40,800 zone. Now, we’re looking at two possible scenarios: 📌 Scenario 1: Price pulls back to the $39,100 area and gives a solid 4H confirmation → Targeting the $41,000 zone. 📌 Scenario 2: Price breaks below the $39,100 area and the trendline, then pulls back into the same level with confirmation → Targeting the $37,000 / $36,000 area. ⚠️ This is not financial advice — just sharing my view on the current setup. Be safe, be happy, and have a great trading day. – Mr. Wolf 🐺

Crypto psychology ep4 : Why You Want to Make Money from Crypto ?Crypto isn’t just a market — it’s a dream factory. Every day, millions of people throw their money (and hopes) into the blockchain, all chasing the same thing: " financial freedom ". But why are people so drawn to making money from crypto? Let’s unpack it. The Dream of Easy Money Let’s be real: who doesn’t want to make money without breaking their back? Crypto promises that fantasy — you buy a coin, wait, and (hopefully) watch it explode in value. Unlike traditional jobs or businesses, it feels like you can skip the grind. That hope of less effort, more reward keeps pulling people in, even if the reality is much harsher. Chasing the Jackpot Coin Everyone’s looking for the next Bitcoin, the next 100x gem that could turn a few hundred bucks into millions. That “ lottery ticket ” mentality fuels the hunt for low-cap coins, meme tokens, or risky projects. It’s not just about profits — it’s about finding that one life-changing win that could rewrite their story forever. The Escape from the 9-to-5 Job For many, crypto isn’t just a side hustle — it’s a possible escape route. The idea of quitting that soul-crushing office job , saying goodbye to bosses and deadlines, and living on your own terms? Crypto makes it feel achievable. Even if it’s a long shot, it’s a shot people are willing to take to avoid spending decades in the rat race. Important : Revenge on the Market Since the brutal crashes of 2022 , a lot of traders have been left deep in the red. But instead of walking away, many are chasing the market harder than ever. It’s not just about making money anymore — it’s about getting back what they lost, proving they were right, and maybe even outsmarting the system that beat them before. That hunger for revenge can keep people in the game way longer than logic says they should stay. Crypto isn't just numbers on a screen — it’s a cocktail of hope, desperation, and ambition. And that’s why, no matter how risky it gets, people keep coming back. BINANCE:BTCUSDT BINANCE:DOGEUSDT BINANCE:XRPUSDT BINANCE:ADAUSDT

XAUUSDHello Traders! 👋 What are your thoughts on Gold? After a strong upward move, gold entered a corrective phase upon reaching the $3500 resistance zone. The current pullback is expected to extend toward the identified support area and the ascending trendline, where buying interest may reappear. As long as gold holds above the support and trendline, the long-term trend remains bullish. This correction could offer a buy-the-dip opportunity, with potential for a move back toward the recent highs. Will gold find support and resume its rally? Share your thoughts below!

Natural Gas (Henry Hub) – Intraday Outlook | May 1, 2025The previous idea played out well — price hit the first long target cleanly and came just short of the second target, which was 3.4501 📍 Current outlook: I've updated the ascending channel based on the new pivot points. If we see a strong buy reaction from the 3.3575 level, I’ll expect to complete the move to 3.4501, and the next goal will be the upper boundary of the channel. However, if price closes below 3.3585, we may be seeing the beginning of a range formation, with downside potential toward the 3.2556 support zone. #TechnicalAnalysis #DayTrading #VSA #NG #HenryHub #NaturalGas #FuturesTrading #VolumeSpreadAnalysis

OB + FVG + full discount → Delivered bounce 👁‍🗨 Eyes On (Into NY Session & May 1): 3315–3325 = Decision zone  → Break = bullish reversal  → Rejection = new short trigger 3260–3270 = Key support. If holds = bounce continuation 3252–3244 = Next strong buy zone if 3260 fails 3350 / 3385 = Targets only if bullish breakout occurs post-news 🧠 Current Bias: 🔸 HTF Trend: Consolidation under ATH → bearish-leaning 🔹 LTF Flow: Bearish structure unless 3315 flips 🎯 Bias: Neutral-bearish → shifting bullish only above 3325 📊 KEY LEVELS TO WATCH: Zone Type Level(s) Commentary 🔻 Resistance 3385 HTF FVG zone / reversal risk 🔻 Resistance 3350 Clean target above breakout 🔻 Resistance 3325 Final barrier before shift 🔻 Flip Zone 3315–3320 Must flip to validate bulls 🔁 Retest 3308–3312 Last OB rejection ⚖️ Mid Zone 3286–3292 Retest structure, weak ✅ Support 3260–3270 Confirmed bounce zone 🟩 Demand 3252–3244 Next high-conviction buy zone 🟢 Discount 3220–3235 Long-term OB zone 🟢 Discount 3192–3205 Extreme discount + FVG 🗓️ MACRO FOR MAY 1: 🗣️ 15:30 Trump Speech 📉 15:30 Unemployment Claims (forecast: 224K) 🏭 15:45 Final Manufacturing PMI 🏭 17:00 ISM Manufacturing PMI + Prices ⚠️ Expect high volatility. Prepare for breakout setups only after structure confirms — not before. 🎯 Final Note: If 3315–3325 breaks cleanly → we’re heading to 3350 / 3385.

BTCUSD - best to wait a bit for a possible breakoutIf you are not already long on BTC, I would suggest exercising some patience. As my trendline indicates, we have had a few recent attempts to break higher. We have no idea if we will get that breakout or will price decline again. My approach would be to wait for a daily candle that closes above the trendline. If that happens, I would place a pending long trade above the high of that breakout candle, stop placement below the recent swing low and 1st target at the round number 100,000. Depending on the price action, a second target around 107,000 also looks possible. This is not a trade recommendation; it’s merely my own analysis. Trading carries a high level of risk, so only trade with money you can afford to lose and carefully manage your capital and risk. If you like my idea, please give a “boost” and follow me to get even more. Please comment and share your thoughts too!! It’s not whether you are right or wrong, but how much money you make when you are right and how much you lose when you are wrong – George Soros

Redeia (REE) blackout and market reactionBy Ion Jauregui – ActivTrades Analyst Redeia (REE), operator of the Spanish electricity system and a member of the Ibex 35, has returned to the media and regulatory spotlight following the recent blackout that affected much of the southwestern part of the country. Although the government praised Red Eléctrica’s technical management during the event, everything points to a planning error in the electricity mix that left the system without sufficient response capacity during a period of high renewable energy production. The incident occurred with more than 70% of the energy mix generated by renewable sources, particularly solar and wind, which lack the inertia provided by conventional technologies such as hydro or thermal. The absence of sufficient synchronous capacity and effective storage systems made it difficult to maintain frequency and voltage balance, triggering a preventive disconnection of part of the grid. This has reopened the debate on the urgent need for investment in technologies that can provide system stability, such as batteries and hybrid generation. Solid fundamentals, but under closer scrutiny Despite the episode, Redeia’s financial fundamentals remain strong. In its latest quarterly report, covering the end of 2024, the company reported: • Revenue: €2.17 billion (+3.2% year-on-year) • EBITDA: €1.65 billion • Net profit: €680 million (+1.7%) • Net debt: €4.9 billion, with a stable debt/EBITDA ratio of 3x The company maintains a stable shareholder remuneration policy, with a dividend of €1 per share expected in 2025, representing a dividend yield of around 5.5% at current prices. Additionally, Redeia continues with its 2021–2026 strategic plan, which includes a total investment of €4.4 billion, 75% of which is allocated to grid modernization, renewable integration, and storage systems. The company has reinforced its role as a facilitator of the energy transition, but incidents such as the recent blackout highlight that operational planning and technical capabilities must evolve in step with renewable growth. Market reaction Following the blackout, Redeia’s share price corrected by 2.3% over two sessions, settling around €18.10, although it still shows positive performance year-to-date. Volatility has slightly increased, reflecting uncertainty about potential regulatory consequences or adjustments to oversight mechanisms. Nonetheless, a moderately positive view of the stock remains, given its defensive profile, low correlation with the economic cycle, and ability to generate stable cash flows. Technically, the stock has been climbing above the support at €17.61. The gap-down correction on Wednesday does not appear likely to halt the expanding moving average trend that began on February 18. The point of control (POC) is located at €16.80 in the previous accumulation zone, but the current price formation does not seem constrained. A return to the path of recent highs would be reasonable. RSI is slightly oversold at 48.70%. Current delta zones are slightly above the current price, around €18.74, suggesting potential gains if news flow is supportive and avoids negative sentiment dragging the stock down. In conclusion, the blackout represents a reputational and technical challenge for Redeia, but it does not significantly alter its financial profile. The medium-term key will be its ability to invest in operational resilience and maintain the confidence of both regulators and the market. ******************************************************************************************* The information provided does not constitute investment research.
