Candlestick Analysis

Two tempting short setups — but one is hiding real dangerWhich pair would you short? We’re looking at JCPB/BAB and AGG/GTO , both showing positive deviation and riding the upper Bollinger Band. At first glance, both look ripe for a short… but dig deeper, and you'll see very different stories. 🔹 JCPB/BAB Chart: Low ADX, balanced DI+ / DI− → classic setup for a mean-reversion short. But the last daily candle is a strong bullish bar — big, green, and decisive. This could be the start of a breakout , and shorting into fresh upside momentum is dangerous. Looks neutral — but hides bullish potential. 🔸 AGG/GTO Chart: Clear uptrend: DI+ dominates, price marching upward. Also touching upper Bollinger Band, so yes — shorting here is fighting the trend. But at least the risk is obvious , and you can frame the trade accordingly. Transparent trend = measurable risk. 🧠 Bottom line: JCPB/BAB may seem safer — but that green candle changes everything. AGG/GTO is clearly trending — risky to short, but less deceptive. 👇 So, if you had to short one of these — which would it be? Drop your take below. Let’s hear your reasoning.

Gold Daily Update - Looking Bullish!Gold has successfully broken above the critical 3030 level, at least on the shorter time frames of 30 minutes and 1 hour. It has closed above this level and is now retracing slightly, possibly to test the area again. If the price holds above this level during the London session, further upward momentum is likely. The first target could be a retest of the 3050 level, and depending on the volume during the New York session—particularly at the New York Stock Exchange's opening at 9:30 AM EST—it might even attempt to retest its all-time high. Given this price action, the downside appears limited for now, and I wouldn't recommend shorting this market at the moment. Even though we're approaching the end of the month and quarter, when fund managers often rebalance portfolios or book profits from recent gains, the momentum currently seems firmly bullish. Shorts would only become a consideration if the price closes decisively below 3030, fails to reclaim that level, and gradually breaks below 3015. Until we see such developments, the current trend favors the bulls. Wishing you a great day and week ahead!

Russell 2000 Futures: Bearish Reversal in Play?Russell 2000 futures may resume the bearish trend established earlier this year, trading below wedge support following the completion of an evening star reversal pattern on Wednesday. Shorts could be established on the break with a stop above the former uptrend for protection. Support may be encountered around 2050, although 1994.8 looms as a more appropriate target for those seeking greater risk-reward. RSI (14) has rolled over, while MACD remains negative despite grinding higher over the past fortnight, painting a picture of waning momentum that complements the bearish price signals. If RTY were to reclaim the former uptrend, the bearish setup would be invalidated. Good luck! DS

Nifty Coming back to test its supports.After a proper breakout and a rally which stretched above 1900 points from the March 4 lows, Nifty was clearly overbought on the hourly chart. It might be coming down for one or more of the following reasons: 1) Retesting support from where it can launch fresh move. 2) Correcting the RSI which had gone into the overbought zone. 3) Pressure due to upcoming Monthly and Financial year closing approaching on 28th March 2025. 3) The rally might have fizzled out. 4) Tax harvesting being done by retail investors. 5) Pressure due to upcoming Monthly and Financial The first 4 options seem to be more likely of the 5 points mentioned above.

Gold Faces Repeated Rejections, Bearish Outlook RemainsAlthough gold has yet to confirm a significant downtrend, it has faced multiple rejections around the 3030-3040 resistance zone in recent sessions. Notably, after touching 3036 yesterday, gold experienced a sharp pullback, forming a long upper shadow on the candlestick chart. This price action has diminished the supportive effect of the underlying W-bottom structure. If gold continues to struggle to break above the 3030-3040 zone, the current seemingly strong price action may prove to be a false signal, merely a setup for a subsequent decline. Additionally, with geopolitical risks easing and no significant fundamental drivers supporting further upside, I remain optimistic about a bearish continuation in gold. We can consider scaling into short positions within the 3028-3038 range, patiently targeting a retest of the 3010-3000 zone. A confirmed break below 3000 could accelerate further downside toward the 2995-2985 region. I would make more detailed trading plans and trading signals every day according to the real-time market situation, which is also the testimony of every successful transaction and profit of mine; the article has a certain lag, if you want to copy the trading signals to make a profit, or master independent trading skills and thinking, you can choose to join the channel at the bottom of the article

Gold is expected to rise to the 3030-3040 zone againGold encountered a clear rejection signal after reaching around 3036, indicating the presence of resistance and a technical need to retest support. Currently, gold is undergoing this support retest. Within the current structure, gold has established a notable W-bottom pattern, with key support formed around the 3000 and 3003 levels. This structural support remains relatively strong. If gold manages to hold above the 3015-3005 support zone during the retest, a renewed upward move is likely. In that scenario, gold could resume its ascent, potentially retesting the 3030-3040 resistance range. So in terms of short-term trading, if gold pulls back to the 3015-3005 zone, we can consider going long on gold in moderation.I would make more detailed trading plans and trading signals every day according to the real-time market situation, which is also the testimony of every successful transaction and profit of mine; the article has a certain lag, if you want to copy the trading signals to make a profit, or master independent trading skills and thinking, you can choose to join the channel at the bottom of the article
