DXY Bullish scenario (Daily)Dxy is still respecting the market maker buy model idea. Monday traded inside friday range. Today (Tuesday) price already traded above monday previous high signaling bullish momentum and a higher probability to trade also above friday high. Right now price is consolidating between a daily bullish fair value gap and a bearish daily volume imbalance. With the information we have, price is likelly to shop arround with no clear direction before FOMC. For the current week price is still in the manipulation phase. Traders will find higher probability trades after FOMC.

Buy gold, it may continue to rise to 3400-3420!Fundamentals: Focus on Trump and the Fed’s dynamics; Technical aspects: Gold rose to the 3380 area as expected, and even exceeded expectations to 3387. Since gold rebounded near 3222, the willingness to retreat during the rebound was not strong. The lows were constantly raised, and the highs gradually broke upward, which was a very typical shock rise pattern. As the center of gravity of gold shifted upward, the short-term resistance moved up to the 3350-3340 area. Once gold hits this position and rebounds, it may continue to rise to the 3400-3420 area. Trading strategy: Consider the opportunity to go long on gold after gold retreats to the 3350-3340 area, TP: 3380

May 6, 2025 - EURUSD Sell📉 Bias: Bearish | Risk: 0.5% (+0.5% potential add-on) | 🎯 Targets: 1:3 (75% off), final TP > 1:8 🧠 Reasoning: Price reacted from Daily Orderblock, broke structure on 15m ⛓️. Refined entry from 15m OB → 5m OB for more precision on the tap entry🎯. 2x Asia lows below = high-probability targets 🔻. Looking to add 0.5% if 1m BOS + retracement OB confirm. ⚠️ Note: There’s unmitigated Asia High & 15m OB above, but too far to affect today’s bearish idea.

Nifty EOD Analysis – May 3, 2025 Monday🟢 Nifty EOD Analysis – May 3, 2025 Monday🔴 A positive open... but no follow-through. Still stuck in consolidation. 📊 Nifty Summary Nifty opened with a gap up of 72 points at 24,420, marking the first open above 24,365 in the last 7 sessions — a positive sign. However, the enthusiasm lacked momentum. Price struggled to cross the resistance at 24,526, and the index drifted back toward the mean, trading the entire day between the initial balance (IB) range and hovering around VWAP. 🔹 Intraday Movement: Just 125 points, the smallest in the last 12 sessions — a clear sign of contraction. 🔹 Closing: 24461 closing is the first closing above 24365 in the last 7 sessions. 🔹 Structure: Daily candle formed an Inside Bar, signaling potential energy buildup. 📌 Strategy Forward: Stay alert for an expansion move from this coil — contraction often precedes sharp action. 📌 5 Min Time FrameChart 📌 Daily Time FrameChart 🕯️ Daily Time Frame Chart & Candle Breakdown 🔍 Today’s Candle Type: Spinning Top with a long upper wick Candle Definition: A Spinning Top reflects market indecision — both bulls and bears attempted moves, but neither gained dominance. A long upper wick with a narrow body often signals failed bullish momentum or fading enthusiasm. 📌 Today’s OHLC: Open: 24,419.50 High: 24,526.40 Low: 24,400.65 Close: 24,461.15 Change: +114.45 (+0.47%) 🧱 Candle Structure: 🔹 Real Body: 🟢 Green candle with a modest body → 24,461.15 – 24,419.50 = 41.65 pts 🔹 Upper Wick: 24,526.40 – 24,461.15 = 65.25 pts 🔹 Lower Wick: 24,419.50 – 24,400.65 = 18.85 pts 📖 Candle’s Interpretation: Despite a strong open and attempt to push higher, the resistance at 24,526 capped the move. The long upper wick shows that buyers lacked follow-through strength, and the close back near the middle of the range indicates a market still stuck in balance. 📉 The Inside Bar + Narrow Range combo is a potential signal for volatility ahead — traders should watch closely for a breakout from this range. ⚔️ Gladiator Strategy Update 📊 Strategy Parameters: ATR: 303.46 IB Range: 110.65 pts IB Category: Medium IB Market Structure: Balanced 📌 Trade Highlights: Trade Count: 0 ❌ No Trigger generated by the system — a no-trade day. 🧠 Note: In contraction phases, it’s common to get fewer setups. Patience is key. 🔮 What’s Next? Markets are coiling tightly, and an expansion move is likely around the corner. As long as price holds above the 24,330–24,360 band, bulls have hope — but conviction is needed above 24,540. 🧱 Support & Resistance Levels 🔺 Resistance Zones: 24,480 ~ 24,540 (Includes psychological level: 24,500) 24,590 (PDH – Immediate hurdle) 24,800 🔻 Support Zones: 24,400 (CDL) 24,330 ~ 24,360 24,190 ~ 24,225 (Immediate Support) 24,120 24,050 24,000 ~ 23,950 23,820 23,710 ~ 23,660 23,500 23,410 ~ 23,370 23,215 ✏️ Disclaimer This is just my personal viewpoint. Always consult your financial advisor before taking any action.

Israel-Houthi conflict could put gold back on the bull run🗞News side: 1. The Israeli president said that they are on the eve of a "large-scale attack on the Gaza Strip" 2. The Houthi armed forces stated that all Israeli airports are their targets 3. The situation of the Russian-Ukrainian war and the follow-up events of the India-Pakistan conflict 📈Technical aspects: From a technical point of view, the current 1H moving average of gold is spreading upward, resulting in a small retracement. The short orders we hold are also closed in time at 3310 to lock in profits. After gold broke through the previous range, the upward channel opened. The 4H MACD diverged from the bottom, the golden cross and the green column enlarged, opening upward, and the overall 4H trend was bullish. Moreover, the support effect of the middle rail of the Bollinger Bands is obvious, and the gold price is accumulating strength below the upper rail of the Bollinger Bands, with strong upward momentum. Pay attention to 3310. After the support stabilizes, you can consider participating in long positions near 3310-3320, focusing on the 3290 line below; focus on 3375 above, and then consider participating in short sales near 3355-3365 after the pressure is under. If you agree with this point of view, or you have a better idea, please leave a message in the comment area. I look forward to hearing different voices.

How to arrange when gold fluctuates upward🗞News side: 1. Pay attention to the recent trade situation and news about the Fed's interest rate cuts 2. Be wary of DXY trends 3. The situation of the Russian-Ukrainian war and the follow-up events of the India-Pakistan conflict 4.Trump imposes 100% tariff on non-US films 📈Technical aspects: In the morning, we seized the opportunity to short and earn a wave of profits. Then gold fell back to 3255 and rebounded again, moving upward in a fluctuating manner. From the hourly chart, Friday's low was around 3220 and today's high was around 3270. In this trend, 3255 may be the short-term low for short-term trading. From the daily chart, gold has closed the cross star. The current gold price is more critical. If it breaks through 3285, it may continue to rise to the 3295-3300 line. If the gold price fails to effectively break through 3285, it may usher in a wave of retracement. It will be a good time for us to go long. If you agree with this point of view, or you have a better idea, please leave a message in the comment area. I look forward to hearing different voices.
