Chart Patterns
USDJPY Tuesday AMThe overall weekly direction is quite bearish as there has been a recent bullish days retracement. If by 9:30 AM Eastern standard time we see this pair break internal liquidity by the time the market opens then we can expect this pair to go for more shorts. But given the timing of the week with the news, I’m expecting this pair to build momentum to take buyside liquidity before stamping through lower price. I expect to see this pair range a bit until Wednesday’s news.
Gold Price ActionHello, Currently, price is in a Compression Phase after a strong Resistance Breakout (RBO). This tight consolidation is creating liquidity on both sides—setting up for a potential breakout.
What to Watch:
Compression Phase = Liquidity Building
Price is moving within a narrow range, trapping traders and stacking orders above and below.
We're waiting for a clean breakout of this range.
After the breakout, price is likely to retrace back toward the base (marked zone) before making a strong move toward the Buy Side Liquidity (BSL).
🎯 Trade Plan:
Wait for the compression to break. A return to the base zone could offer an entry, with BSL as the target (TP).
⚠️ Stay patient and avoid early entries—let the breakout confirm the move.
✅ Patience is key—wait for confirmation and manage risk smartly.
#XAUUSD SELL CHART This chart shows a short trade setup for gold (CFDs on Gold, US$/OZ) on the 45-minute timeframe. Here's a breakdown of what it suggests:
Entry Zone: Around the 3,314–3,315 level.
Stop Loss: Above 3,355, indicating the trade gets invalidated if the price breaks above this resistance zone.
Target Point: Near 3,234, aligning with a previous support area.
Risk/Reward Ratio: Looks favorable, with a larger potential reward (green zone) than the risk (red zone).
The yellow arrow suggests expected downward movement after hitting resistance.

Indicators that Warn of a Top or Bottom Before It HappensHybrid Leading Indicators use all 3 data sets from each transaction that occurs in the stock market. Today this lesson talks about Chaikin Oscillator and Chaikin MFI. Both are used on the same chart as the volume oscillator reveals the volume and price correlation to what the Dark Pool Buy Side institutions are buying or selling for long term holds. The oscillator also shows pro trader activity and indicates with a spike to the top or bottom of its chart a probable reversal of the trend the next day. When the Oscillator spikes to the top, then a profit taking day by pros or a run down is likely the next day.
When the oscillator hits a V shape at the bottom of the chart, the stock price is likely to move up the next day, warning those selling short to exit quickly. The oscillator also shows topping price and volume changes before the Flat Top forms. It also shows Bottoming development before the recent rebound in $NASDAQ:PYPL.
Money Flowing into or out of a stock is also a critical analysis for swing traders as it confirm whether you should continue swing trading to the upside OR if you should switch quickly to selling short. MFI in this chart is harmonious with the oscillator, both confirming a strong indication of the direction the stock will take over the next few days.
A bottoming formation starts well ahead of the actual final low. This is important to recognize early when selling short, to avoid a huge whipsaw day that can cause huge sell short losses.
When you can read the chart as easily as you read a book, your Spatial Pattern Recognition Skills are finely tuned and you can be proud to be a member of the semi-professional retail swing traders. Let that be your goal, along with consistent profits with minimal losses.
Raise your expectations.
Trade Wisely,

Cardano: Buy Opportunity In The Making (Buy When Red)Retraces, even if these are very small, can be used as an opportunity to buy. Whenever the market turns red that is an opportunity in the making, because we are set to experience growth long-term.
When the market is green, we either wait patiently or secure portions of profits. When the market turns red, that's the time to buy because as soon as the low is in (higher low always) what happens is the continuation of the initial and main move, the bullish wave.
Cardano is red today but it was also red on the 30th of April, the 29 and so on. If you consider the chart closely, the action always fluctuates between green and red. Now, this red action won't last long so the opportunity within hours or days can be gone.
» Any drops, corrections and retraces are an opportunity to buy-in, rebuy and reload. This is true for Cardano as it is true for Bitcoin and the rest of the Altcoins.
Namaste.
Quant's 2025 All-Time High Potential Revealed In This AnalysisQuant has been producing higher lows since June 2022, a solid base.
QNTUSDT is about to close its fourth week green and this week is a full green candle. A strong advance/bullish breakout and months of bearish action recovered to now trade within the bullish zone.
What is happening here is the same dynamic that will be happening across all the Altcoins. After a major low on 7-April we get growth, growth, growth. Allow for small swings because the market never moves straight down nor straight up, it fluctuates creating waves.
Down-waves, up-waves but something is certain, higher highs and higher lows long-term. We are now within a strong bullish phase.
The high in December 2024 produced the highest prices since October 2022 and was corrected to a long-term higher low. A higher high will happen next comes next and this is the beginning of this higher high. The easy target being $211 and this is a higher high but for this higher high to be technically relevant it has to go even higher so we are aiming for $230 or higher, $310.
Will Quant go beyond $310? It is possible and do-able, also highly probable. The $410 target is a strong target but can be done. Can I be honest with you? It is possible that Quant moves even higher producing a new All-Time High by the time the 2025 bull market runs its course.

Bitcoin Ultra-Bullish Now! Ignore Short-Term Noise, Focus!Very important right now to stay focused and true to your commitment of holding Bitcoin (Crypto-Altcoins) long-term. It is very important because a major rise is in the making and letting go of your position now can be detrimental to your success.
Did you notice, Bitcoin has not produced three consecutive days red since the 7-April market bottom and low. Very interesting. When Bitcoin was coming down, it produced many three days red sessions, now that we are bullish—bullish now not once. This is a strong revealing signal.
Bitcoin will continue growing and as it grows the Altcoins will follow. Marketwide bullish action is happening now today all across.
Feeling any doubt, any worries?
Don't worry. No need to doubt, Bitcoin is going up and has been going up now for an entire month. What more can you ask for?
Bitcoin has been rising since 7-April the same for the Altcoins. The Altcoins closed four weeks green Bitcoin is the same. That is a strong recovery if you ask me but asking, knowing you, it is enough for you to rest easy and be prepared to hold long-term, why? Because the market is set to grow in proportions not seen before. With interest rates going lower this will definitely support the 2025 bull market that we've been waiting for and the recovery and low that is already confirmed.
» Bitcoin trading above $90,000 is ultra-bullish.
» Bitcoin trading below $95,000 is a very, very strong buy. You can even buy with leverage because lower prices are hard as whales are watching, waiting and buying everything that anybody wants to sell. With whale-buying working as support, the low is already in, when the buying is over liquidity hunt will happen up, toward resistance.
Billions of short traders will be liquidated once again but that is their choice, they are remaining clueless to all the signals the market offers and shares. Trading easy above 90K, several weeks closing green, the Altcoins market producing strong gains and even when there is a retrace many stay green. Classic—classic bull market dynamics. Are you with me?
Just a friendly reminder. Focus on what we know will happen next. Bitcoin closed two days red is that a big deal? Enough to shake you out? No! You are ready to hold, you are ready to grow I am ready for the 2025 bull market.
It is happening now.
Thank you for reading.
Namaste.

GOLD 1H CHART ROUTE MAP & TRADING PLAN FOR THE WEEKHey Everyone,
Please see our updated 1h chart levels and targets for the coming week.
We are seeing price play between two weighted levels with a gap above at 3260 and a gap below at 3217. We will need to see ema5 cross and lock on either weighted level to determine the next range. EMA5 is lagging below 3306 so will need a close above and then below to confirm.
We will see levels tested side by side until one of the weighted levels break and lock to confirm direction for the next range.
We will keep the above in mind when taking buys from dips. Our updated levels and weighted levels will allow us to track the movement down and then catch bounces up.
We will continue to buy dips using our support levels taking 30 to 40 pips. As stated before each of our level structures give 20 to 40 pip bounces, which is enough for a nice entry and exit. If you back test the levels we shared every week for the past 24 months, you can see how effectively they were used to trade with or against short/mid term swings and trends.
The swing range give bigger bounces then our weighted levels that's the difference between weighted levels and swing ranges.

Ethereum: Sell Or Hold? Panic Buy, Panic Sell or Panic Hold?If I were you in this situation, what would you do?
What would you do if you were not you in this situation?
Ethereum hit bottom on the 9th of April and the bottom is confirmed based on the same candle. It ended full green and with really high volume.
The action moved back above support on 22-April when the 3-Feb. low resistance was conquered. Ethereum now trades within a tight price range.
This range's support has been tested four times and it holds, Ethereum now trades higher but what will happen next? What would you do if I were me?
Market conditions can change in a day. Two days green, two days red it is all sideways, nothing changes and nothing has changed.
If you are still wondering if you should panic sell or panic hold right now all you have to do is panic buy because Ethereum is going up.
Ignore the short-term nothing because this chart isn't showing even noise. It is the consolidation of the higher low before additional growth.
Ethereum's chart looks very different to Bitcoin, it is incredible. Ethereum is no longer "#2" but more like an Altcoin, Bitcoin has its own chart while Ethereum has the chart of a medium sized Cryptocurrency pair. This is good, it tells us that Ethereum is about to grow really strong and will produce a new All-Time High in 2025. This All-Time High will be higher than 2021 because while this isn't Bitcoin it is still a very strong chart. Expect lower no more, panic buy followed by panic hold while you rest easy and relaxed because there is no panic when the market grows.
The only panic right now is on the short side because the bottom is in and the bears are gone.
Rest easy, do not let go of your coins. Hold strong.
Never ever use a stop-loss. Think long-term and the market will bless you with amazing results.
Namaste.
