Nifty Analysis EOD - April 23, 2025🟢 Nifty Analysis EOD - April 23, 2025 🔴 "Hanging Man Candle on Bullish Trend—Pause or Plot Twist?" 📊 Market Recap: As anticipated from the ongoing bullish structure, Nifty opened with a strong Gap-Up at 24,357, adding +192 Points (+0.79%) to the charts. However, what looked like a continuation day quickly turned cautious. The initial candle marked the day’s high (Open = High scenario, nearly exact) and started a gap-filling move, pushing prices back to CPR. The market respected CPR as a support, then moved back towards its mean (VWAP) where the PDH + R1 zone resisted price action effectively until 1 PM. Post that, Nifty finally broke out, sustained above the zone, and closed at 24,300—still holding gains despite a red candle, which visually seems bearish but technically closes above VWAP + PDH. Hence, a hidden bullish undertone remains. 🕯 Daily Candle Check: Is It a Hanging Man? A textbook Hanging Man candle appears to have formed on the Daily Chart—a bearish reversal pattern that shows potential weakness at the top of a rally. 📌 Candle Stats: Body: 28 points Lower Shadow: 209 points Upper Shadow: 2 points Shadow-to-body ratio: 209 / 28 = 7.4x ✅ Trend Context: Yes, uptrend present ✅ Candle Structure: Meets all parameters 👉 Verdict: Confirmed Hanging Man Candle This hints that selling pressure is gradually creeping in while buying strength might be exhausting. But a Hanging Man alone isn't a trade trigger—confirmation is key. So we watch tomorrow’s session to decide whether it’s just a pause or a trend shift. 📈 Intraday Insight: Head & Shoulders Pattern During the session’s consolidation and bounceback phase, a Head & Shoulders pattern played out intraday with its target being 24,300—achieved successfully by EOD. 🔍 Pattern Recap: This bullish reversal structure shows three dips, with the central one (head) being the deepest and two shallower ones (shoulders). A break above the “neckline” confirmed bullishness—supporting the rebound above VWAP. 📌 Gladiator Strategy Update ATR: 350.19 IB Range: 94.75 (Small IB) Market Structure: Imbalanced 🎯 Trade Highlights: First Trade: Short – Triggered at 10:05 AM — ✅ 1:1.5 Target Achieved Second Trade: Long – Triggered at 13:40 PM — ✅ 1:1.5 Target Achieved Additional Trade (H&S Pattern): Long – Triggered at 11:40 AM — ✅ Pattern Target Achieved 🧠 Index Performance Snapshot: Nifty 50: +161 Points (+0.67%) Bank Nifty: -277 Points (-0.5%), but a new ATH at 56,098 Nifty 500: +152 Points (+0.69%) Midcap: +644 Points (+1.18%) Smallcap: +74 Points (+0.44%) 📌 Key Levels to Watch 📍 Resistance Zones: 24,330 ~ 24,360 24,480 ~ 24,540 24,800 📍 Support Zones: 24,190 ~ 24,225 23,950 ~ 24,000 (Immediate) 23,820 23,660 ~ 23,710 23,500 23,400 ~ 23,430 23,200 ~ 23,190 🧭 Final Thoughts: "Reversal or Reset? Structure is key. When levels work, respect them. When they break, adapt." ✏️ Disclaimer ✏️ This is just my personal viewpoint. Always consult your financial advisor before taking any action.

GBPUSD: UK Data Back in FocusGBPUSD traded to an 8-month high on Tuesday at 1.3424, as a new wave of dollar selling swept across FX markets at the start of the week. This time driven by fresh uncertainty surrounding US economic growth and by a barrage of social media comments across the Easter Holiday period from President Trump that seemed to challenge the independence of the Federal Reserve. Now, as we look ahead to the remainder of the week, UK economic data is in focus, with the latest April Preliminary PMI Manufacturing and Services readings released at 0930 BST on Wednesday. These are potentially the first survey updates that will start to show the impact of US tariffs on UK economic growth, business sentiment and inflation, making them potentially important drivers for the future direction of GBPUSD. They could also shed some light on whether the Bank of England may be able to cut interest rates, as many traders hope, at their next interest rate meeting at the start of May. Then, on Friday, UK Retail Sales are released at 0700 BST. This release will be important in showing if UK consumers are still spending despite rising unemployment and stubbornly high prices. If they are, this may be taken as a positive for the UK economy and for GBPUSD, while any disappointment could lead to GBPUSD retesting lower levels again. Technical Update: September 2024 Highs a Key Resistance Focus So far during 2025, GBPUSD has seen a price recovery of nearly 11%, although as already discussed, this may be due more to broad based USD weakness, rather than outright GBP strength. Even so, latest upside has neared 1.3434, the September 2024 failure level, which may prove something of a line in the sand this week. Closing defense of 1.3434 may help determine where next directional risks lie. Much appears to depend on this week’s UK data and reaction to it, but traders may also be focusing on how the 1.3433 failure high is defended on a closing basis. Successful breaks may lead to a more sustained phase of price strength, but without such moves, risks could turn lower again. However, what are the levels we may need to monitor over coming sessions? Possible Resistance Levels: As we have established, traders after what has already been a strong recovery, may view the 1.3433 high as important, with closing breaks required to suggest risks to continue attempts to push to higher price levels. If closing breaks of 1.3433 do now materialise, it might be an indication of potential to challenge 1.3640, the February 2022 high, even towards 1.3748, equal to the January 10th 2022 rejection level. Possible Support Levels: With the 1.3433 price high remaining intact, Tuesday’s weakness from this area could now see focus shift back to support. If these give way, it might in turn point to possibilities of a deeper retracement of April strength. The first support may now prove to be 1.3313, equal to half the April 17th to April 22nd strength, with closing breaks perhaps suggesting further downside pressure. This could suggest possibilities towards 1.3148/1.3203, a combination of the April 7th low and 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the April phase of price strength.

On these time frames, you should look for a consolidation and a formation of a horizontal range. Here is such a range on EURAUD on a 4H. These ranges will be used for confirmation . Your bullish signal will be a breakout of the resistance of the range , it will confirm a strong buying interest after a liquidity grab. That is the example of such a confirmation. 4.

ASX 200 Bulls Take the Reins as Trade Hopes BuildThe signal from last week’s bullish engulfing candle on ASX 200 SPI futures has proven reliable so far, with the price rocketing above 7900 on Monday, providing a platform to establish long positions around. With optimism building over trade deals between the United States and major partners, including China, bulls may look to enter above 7900 with a stop beneath for protection. The 50-week moving average screens as a potential target, with futures bouncing strongly from it the last three times it’s been tested. If the price reverses and closes below 7900, the bullish bias would need to be reassessed. Momentum indicators remain net-bearish, though RSI (14) is lifting toward neutral. Given the headline-driven nature of the market, these signals may be less reliable than usual. Good luck. DS

USDJPY / 6J1! - Compelling reversal pointThe Yen futures (inverted from USD.JPY) are entering a multi-year resistance level. Considering the yen has arrived at this zone on one-sided trading with high momentum, a reversal trade is compelling from a market psychology perspective. As an additional non-technical confluence, there are also news rumours circulating on social media streams regarding an imminent new trade agreement between the two countries. If prices remain static for the next hour, the daily close will print a shooting star reversal candlestick pattern. Using a retracement entry at today's developing POC, which roughly aligns to the 0.382 intraday fib level, with a stop above the intraday (H1) swing high. A RR at opening of approximately 1:10 is available. Ideally, risk would be managed on H1 time frame for this type of trade. Note USD.JPY Forex charting will be inverted from the futures.

Nifty Analysis EOD - 22nd April 2025🟢 Nifty Analysis EOD - 22nd April 2025 🔴 🧠 Market Background: As highlighted in the previous session analysis, we were expecting a range-bound or narrow-range trading day — and that’s exactly what played out. Nifty opened at 24,185, right below the resistance zone where yesterday’s session had consolidated heavily. Early in the session, price fell below the Previous Day Close (PDC) and took support exactly at the Central Pivot Range (CPR) before staging a sharp move up — breaking both Current Day High (CDH) and Previous Day High (PDH). However, the 24,225 resistance zone acted as a speed breaker, pushing prices back down toward VWAP, which then provided a solid support base. Until around 2:45 PM, Nifty kept forming higher lows, giving hopes for continuation — but then broke the previous swing low, forming a new lower low into the close. 📊 Price Action Insight: Day closed above the CPR zone, which still favors the bullish structure However, on the daily timeframe, a near-perfect Doji candle has formed, with just a 9-point body, indicating indecision or a pause in the trend The intraday range was 170 points, noticeably lower than Nifty’s average range, hinting at contraction In such a case, trading the Doji becomes simple — wait for either high or low to break, but also consider nearby support/resistance confluence for better edge 🎯 Strategic Outlook: A retracement towards 23,660–23,710 or even 23,200 can’t be ruled out — although it's early to confirm Broader sentiment stays bullish, but this Doji suggests a pause or potential reversal — so caution near upper zones is advised Keep tracking key global cues and sector rotation — especially with Midcaps and Smallcaps showing strong resilience 📌 Gladiator Strategy Update ATR: 362.5 IB Range: 129.65 (Medium IB) Market Structure: Balanced Long Trade Triggered at 10:30 AM — ✅ 1:1.5 Target Achieved Second Long Entry at 11:40 AM — ❌ SL Hit 📈 Index Performance Nifty: +42 Points (+0.17%) Bank Nifty: 🔼 New All-Time High at 55,961, closing at 55,647 (+342 pts / +0.6%) Nifty 500: +79 Points (+0.36%) Midcap: +422 Points (+0.78%) Smallcap: +122 Points (+0.73%) 📌 Key Levels to Watch 🔺 Resistance Zones • 24,190 ~ 24,225 • 24,330 ~ 24,360 • 24,480 ~ 24,540 🔻 Support Zones • 23,950 ~ 24,000 (Immediate support) • 23,820 • 23,660 ~ 23,710 • 23,500 • 23,400 ~ 23,430 • 23,200 ~ 23,190 🧘‍♂️ Final Thoughts "Structure is key. When levels work, respect them. When they break, adapt." Stay level-headed, stay prepared. Let the market show you the way. ✏️ Disclaimer ✏️ This is just my personal viewpoint.
