But what if the whales are lurking, ready to turn the price around? 🔑 *Key Levels:* *Support:* *3.6191 USDT* – bulls are defending this level aggressively. *3.0087 USDT* – deep liquidity zone, where the price could drop if support breaks. **Resistance:** **3.6891 USDT** – if sellers hold this level, the downtrend continues. **3.8000 USDT** – a breakout above here could mean a bullish reversal. 🚩 *Trading Strategy:* *Short Entry:* After breaking *3.6191 USDT* with a retest. *Stop-Loss:* Above *3.6891 USDT* – if bears are wrong, it's time to exit. *Profit Targets:* *3.5000 USDT* – quick scalp target. *3.3000 USDT* – solid take-profit zone. *3.0087 USDT* – full breakdown potential if panic selling intensifies. 📈 *Technical Analysis Insights:* Sellers are dominating – market structure remains bearish.

2025-02-18 - priceactiontds - daily update - nasdaqGood Evening and I hope you are well. comment: Bears started the day very bearish and printed decent bear bars down to 22200 but bears failed to find sellers below 22130 and we went sideways 22100-22200 until we saw bigger buying coming through again and bears gave up late into the day. Bulls closed it between Friday’s close and today’s open, so the day was neutral as can be. Bears failed to get down to 22k which is my line in the sand for them. We have to expect higher prices, given that this was a shallow sideways correction on the daily chart. current market cycle: trading range key levels: 22100 - 22500 bull case: Bulls happily buying every dip and bears could not even touch the breakout price of 22094 (January high). Can only see today’s price action as bullish and on the 4h chart it’s a two-legged pullback to the 20ema with a decent buy signal bar now. Longs with stop 22090 are reasonable for target 22450+. Invalidation is below 21900. bear case: Bears tried an failed. They made some points and then covered as bigger buying came late in the day. They need a strong 1h bar close below 22k to turn this neutral again. For now they can only hope to sell new highs and scalp some points. Most bears wait for 22450ish and if we find more sellers there. Invalidation is above 22150. short term: Bullish. Below 22k that changes but for now you can buy every good bullish signal bar after a dip. medium-long term - Update from 2024-02-16: Bulls are on their way of making a new ath again. So no bearish thoughts until market character changes dramatically again. I can see this going up to 23000 but not beyond. No bigger opinion on a medium-term outlook for this. trade of the day: Very good bearish signal bar going into US open and then follow-through to 22200. Market then printed bar 36 + 37 and the big tails below was a good sign to be cautious with shorts because we are finding more buyers in that area, so the downside might probably be limited. Market then went sideways until we made a lower low major trend reversal with bar 53 + 54. 55 was the bar to go long on but could also have waited for bar 56. This has now also build a head & shoulders bottom and a measured move brings us above 22300 again.

GOLD rises above 2,900 USD again, attention to Trump and PutinOANDA:XAUUSD Spot delivery increased significantly due to factors such as a weaker US Dollar, geopolitical risks and uncertainty in US trade policy. As of the time this article was completed, spot gold increased to 2,909 USD/oz, an increase equivalent to 0.39% on the day. The World Gold Council revealed central banks purchased more than 1,000 tons of gold for the third consecutive year in 2024. According to the World Gold Council, central banks' gold purchases increased 54% year-on-year to 333 tons after Trump won the election. On Monday local time, at the suggestion of French President Macron, leaders of many European countries held an emergency meeting in the French capital Paris to discuss issues such as the situation in Ukraine and collective European security. According to French press reports, the biggest disagreement at the meeting that day was whether to send troops to Ukraine under the peacekeeping framework or not. British Prime Minister Starmer said the UK is ready to send ground troops if necessary. Germany and Spain objected. At the same time, Ukraine's peace negotiations also became the focus of market attention. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday that he would travel to the Saudi capital Riyadh and hold talks with US representatives on Tuesday. US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that he will soon meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Saudi Arabia. If a peace agreement is reached between Russia and Ukraine, this may be the driving force for gold to be able to adjust significantly down in the near future. On the contrary, if the agreement "goes nowhere", gold will continue to increase in price because geopolitical risks once again increase. Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD From the support level of 2,881 USD, note to readers in the previous issue that gold has surpassed the initial target level at the original price point of 2,900 USD and currently maintains price activity above this level. With the current position, gold has conditions to continue to increase in price with the goal of reaching an all-time peak rather than renewing the previously achieved all-time peak. The upward relative strength index shows that the bearish momentum is also weakening, giving way to overwhelming buying force. In general, in terms of the overall technical picture, gold still tends to be completely bullish, and notable positions will be listed as follows. Support: 2,900 – 2,881 – 2,857USD Resistance: 2,942USD SELL XAUUSD PRICE 2921 - 2919⚡️ ↠↠ Stoploss 2925 →Take Profit 1 2913 ↨ →Take Profit 2 2907 BUY XAUUSD PRICE 2849 - 2851⚡️ ↠↠ Stoploss 2845 →Take Profit 1 2857 ↨ →Take Profit 2 2863

2025-02-17 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. comment: Nothing bearish happening, so max bullishness. I scalp long until it stops working because are obviously not. current market cycle: trading range key levels: 22500 - 23200 bull case: Bulls want 23100ish and keep going. Since no one is taking bigger profits and bears not doing anything, why would it stop? Scalp long. If we break outside the bull channel, which is likely in Globex session, wait for a pull-back to maybe 22700 and a good bull signal bar before longing again. Invalidation is below 21900. bear case: Bears not doing anything so let’s skip this. Daily close below 22500 changes that again. Invalidation is above 23200. short term: Can’t be anything but bullish. Goes only up. Scalp long until it stops. 23k next and likely 23100/23200 because xetra will likely overshoot somewhat. medium-long term from 2024-02-16: As much as I would love to see this 30% lower, it’s not happening anytime soon. Market will probably has to move sideways for some weeks before this could go down. For now it’s still only up. 23000 likely next. current swing trade: None trade of the day: Buying the Globex low since we could not even touch the close of last week. Market printed 1 decent bear bar on the 15m tf and that is obviously not enough to exit any long.

My thoughts for GCIm looking for areas of consolidation on a higher time frame preferably the one hour then on the 5min wait for a bullish engulfing to print to enter for buys, now Monday is a holiday so I know NYSE will be closed so for the entries already taken, during Asian opening will only be technical trades, but there is high impact news, and depending on descolations with Russia, I plan for contiunation buys, but I plan to watch the dollar and the yields for any potential reversals to the. downside

GOLD heads towards all-time levels with a more positive outlookOANDA:XAUUSD has recovered as US Treasury yields plummet amid a trade war, existential and dangerous. The increase in gold purchases by central banks has created more room for gold price increases. US real yields, which are inversely correlated with gold prices, fell 8 basis points to 2.072%, which is positive for gold. The 10-year US Treasury yield fell 10 basis points to 4.519%. Bloomberg said gold prices have stabilized near all-time highs after US President Trump ordered back-and-forth tariffs, increasing uncertainty in trade and the global economy. Trump announced on Thursday local time that the United States will impose "reciprocal tariffs" on all countries exporting goods to the United States to restore a fair competitive environment in global trade, but has not yet given a specific implementation timeline. This is a new escalation in the trade war after Trump announced an additional 25% tax on all steel and aluminum imported into the US. The World Gold Council (WGC) revealed that central banks purchased more than 1,000 tons of gold for the third consecutive year in 2024. According to the World Gold Council, the amount of gold purchased by central banks increased by more than 54% year-on-year to 333 tons after Trump won the election. Central banks, including China's increased gold holdings and expansion of exchange-traded funds backed by the metal, have also supported gold's 12% gain so far this year. Today's key financial data and events: Friday, February 14, 2025 ① 17:00 Eurozone revised annual GDP rate in the fourth quarter ② 17:00 Eurozone seasonally adjusted initial employment rate in the fourth quarter ③ 20:30 Canadian monthly wholesale rate for December ④ 20:30 US monthly retail sales rate in January ⑤ 21:30 US monthly import price index ratio for January ⑥ 21:15 US monthly industrial output rate for January ⑦ 22:00 US monthly commercial inventory ratio in December ⑧ 01:00 the next day Total number of oil rigs in the United States as of week ending February 14 Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD Gold continues to rise for the second day after gaining support from the confluence of the upper channel edge and the 0.236% Fibonacci extension, and with its current position it has the conditions to continue rising with a target of all-time highs in the short term, more likely new era highs targeting around 2,952 USD. The bullish technical structure has not changed, with the short-term trend highlighted by the price channel, while the Relative Strength Index is still pointing up with the green uptrend showing no signs of a possible downside correction. During the day, as long as gold remains within the price channel, it still has a bullish outlook. Pullbacks do not see the RSI go below 80, and below EMA21 should only be considered a short-term correction and a short-term buying opportunity. Along with that, notable levels will be listed as follows. Support: 2,900 – 2,891USD Resistance: 2,927 – 2,942 – 2,952USD SELL XAUUSD PRICE 2951 - 2949⚡️ ↠↠ Stoploss 2955 →Take Profit 1 2943 ↨ →Take Profit 2 2937 BUY XAUUSD PRICE 2892 - 2894⚡️ ↠↠ Stoploss 2888 →Take Profit 1 2900 ↨ →Take Profit 2 2906

#202507 - priceactiontds - weekly update - nasdaq e-mini futuresGood Evening and I hope you are well. comment: Bulls got the higher high. Next stop is likely a new ath above 22450. Weekly candle closed at the very top and all dips were bought last week. Let’s see how high we can go now. Bears can only dream of going below 21800 again. current market cycle: trading range key levels: 20500 - 22100 bull case: 22k was support on Friday and that’s my line in the sand for bulls. We stay above, much more upside to follow. Next targets are the obvious ath 22450 but my next ones would be 22500 and then 23000. We have a bigger bull trend line around 21700 but also one on the 1h tf at 22150. In any case, bulls should keep it above 22000 or we could go 200-300 points lower from there. The weekly chart shows nested bull wedges and we could go up to 22700 for the most recent one. Problem for the bulls is that we don’t have a single monthly close above 21946 so this month’s end will be interesting if we stay above 22000 until then. Invalidation is below 21900. bear case: Bears gave up on Thursday and Friday and they will probably try again near 22450. If bears somehow manage to break below Friday’s low 22042/22000, their next target would be the breakout price at 21930 but that is very low probability as of now. If anything it would be news related and we saw every news bomb being bought last week, even hot cpi/ppi numbers. Invalidation is above 22500. short term: Bulls bought it all last week and I think Thu/Fri showed bears giving up. We can only assume higher prices next week and a retest of the ath. Dips are likely very good buying opportunities if we stay above 22000. medium-long term - Update from 2024-02-16: Bulls are on their way of making a new ath again. So no bearish thoughts until market character changes dramatically again. I can see this going up to 23000 but not beyond. No bigger opinion on a medium-term outlook for this. current swing trade: None chart update: Removed bearish trash.

#ES_F Day Trading Prep Week 2.16 - 2.21Last Week : Sunday Globex again opened on a gap down just like previous week but this time it opened right at lower VAH and got a push back into over 6074 - 54 Edge. Holding over 6050s and inside/over the Edge meant stability for the market which brough in more buying but as we can see it took us a whole week of consolidating under VAL before we were able to push into upper Value towards the end of the week. We pushed into the Mean right up against our previous Supply area and that served as good resistance to keep us in small balance to finish the week on Friday. This Week : Tricky spot we find ourself in this week, on higher time frames like Monthly we are having inside month, weekly we are still holding sideways/up trend inside this 6230s - 5950s balance but one thing to note is we have mostly been back and forth between this balances Mean area and the low, so far dips under the low kept getting bought but we are not really getting any upside or holds over the Mean areas which could mean no acceptance inside it to cause continuation towards the top. On Daily TF we have been holding over between the Daily upper Edge of 6073 - 43 and upper Daily VAL of 6144 - 25 where we found balance to end the week on Friday. Going into this week we are again inside the Value of this 6074 - 6195 Hourly's range and there are few things we can watch from here. If the market has truly accepted inside this range then we may hold inside the Value which will mean ranges will tighten up and we look to balance inside Current Intraday Range of 6155 - 6114, we have supply over 6144 so any pushes over it towards 6155 could find their way back into the Mean and we could see covering under 6125 over VAL. BUT something we have to watch out for is IF we again fail inside this Value and get into/under VAL this will be our first signal for a failure which can bring in weakness towards lower Edge, IF that happens and we find ourself inside lower Edge under 6074 - 60s that would confirm the failure and may bring in more weakness for market to try and go find Value lower, we do have lots of HTF stops lined up under us which would keep bringing weakness if we start taking them. We don't have any market moving data until Fed on Wednesday which could mean a slow start to the week and we must be careful forcing for downside IF we are holding over VAL because that keeps us stable. Of course IF we do again open on a gap down like we did last 2 weeks then that could change things BUT this time around IF we do then we need to be careful looking for a full return back like we had last 2 times. For more strength out of this Value we would want price first show us holds over 6144 AND find stronger buying that can take us into/over upper VAH, until this happens we really need to watch out over 6140 as we may finish this month either inside +/- month inside this Value under 6160s OR since its our 3rd month in these areas without any upside, we could see size sell us back down towards Monthly balance lows which are down at 5950s.

#202507 - priceactiontds - weekly update - wti crude oil futuresGood Evening and I hope you are well. comment: No bigger opinion on this trading range. 70 holds, we chop until a bigger news event pushes us above 74. Below 70 we could flush to 69 and then 67. current market cycle: trading range key levels: 70 - 75 bull case: Bulls preventing meaningful lower lows but we have a clear bear trend line. Bulls are still favored going into next week to buy around 70 and test back up to at least 72. They want to break above the Tuesday high 73.67 and make the market more neutral again. If they get it, we could test 75 next. Invalidation is below 69.7. bear case: Bears have closed the week near the lows and they want to poke at 70 until it fails. I have no idea how likely that is next week but for now it’s support and if we see decent buying pressure tomorrow, bulls are favored. Volume is also trash again. Below 70 we test 69 and then 67. Invalidation is above 75. short term: Neutral for now. Still no interest in this tbh. 70 should hold but the last thing I want to do is buying this. Nothing has changed since last Sunday. Play the range or trade something else. medium-long term - Update from 2025-01-19: Triangle is dead and market is now in a proper trading range with upside to 80 or even 85. current swing trade: None chart update: Nothing

#202507 - priceactiontds - weekly update - bitcoinGood Evening and I hope you are well. comment: Yeah I won’t make stuff up this week either. Range is the same and we saw some expansion last week but barely. Targets for both sides remain the same and if you don’t like trading ranges, stop reading here. I have no idea where the next breakout will happen but a slightly bearish bias due to this market going sideways 12k points below ath while nasdaq is pumping. current market cycle: trading range key levels: 90k - 110k bull case: Bulls printed another lower high and have nothing to show for after this week. They need daily closes above the 20ema and 100k to gain control again. Same stuff as last week. Invalidation is below 88k. bear case: Market is totally neutral. If bears start closing bars below 90k we can talk bear targets again. For now it’s nested triangles. Invalidation is above 110k. short term: Neutral. Play the range until broken. medium-long term - Update from 2025-01-19: 75000 is my biggest target for now and until bears get there, any lower target is just unreasonable. My bias is bearish going into 2025 and I think the odds of a bigger leg down are good. We are in a big trading range until it’s clearly broken. Bearish targets will only happen once we get a strong move below 90k. current swing trade: Nope chart update: Added the smaller triangle as well.

WHEAT - Testing a major resistance zoneCAPITALCOM:WHEAT is testing a major resistance zone that has previously led to significant bearish reversals. The recent bullish momentum into this area increases the likelihood of seller interest. If the market shows bearish confirmation through rejection wicks, bearish engulfing candles, or increased selling volume, a move toward 579.9 seems likely. But, a breakout above this resistance may suggest continued bullish strength. Just my take on key support and resistance levels—remember, this isn’t financial advice. Always confirm your setups and manage risk wisely.

Are sugar futures ready to extend further up?Looking at the technical picture of sugar futures, we can see that we have approached a key area of resistance. In order to get comfortable with further upside, a break of that territory is required. However, if we see the price struggling to move above all the EMAs on our daily chart, maybe the upside might off the table, at least for now.

Profit taking action, GOLD decreased significantlyOANDA:XAUUSD fell significantly as investors took profits after hitting record highs, but remained optimistic as US President Donald Trump's new tariffs raised fears of a global trade war. Trump has sharply increased tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to 25% with "no exceptions or exemptions," a move he hopes will help struggling U.S. industries but could also spark a trade war on multiple fronts. Traders will need to keep an eye on US inflation data today (Wednesday) for fresh clues on the outlook for interest rates in the world's largest economy. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said the central bank is in no rush to cut interest rates because the economy is "strong overall" and inflation remains above its 2% target. Powell's comments were part of an opening statement he prepared for a Senate Banking Committee hearing. Inflation data is in focus this trading day, and higher-than-expected inflation data could extend the Fed's pause on interest rate hikes, which could lead to a slowdown in gold's performance in the short term. The impact is also reversed if inflation data is lower than expected, which further boosts market sentiment about the possibility of the Fed cutting interest rates next quarter. Gold is considered a hedge against inflation, but higher interest rates will reduce the appeal of this non-yielding asset. Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD On the daily chart, gold corrected sharply but in general the position and technical structure still support the possibility of price increases. While the trend from the short-term price channel remains stable and the Relative Strength Index has not provided a clear bearish signal. At the same time, the support levels from the 0.382% and 0.236% Fibonacci extension positions are also slowing down the correction momentum. As long as gold remains within the price channel, the short-term technical outlook remains bullish. The current downward corrections should be seen as an opportunity to buy. Notable locations will be listed as follows.

GOLD rises above $2,900 with further upside targetsUS President Donald Trump vowed to impose "retaliatory tariffs" on all countries that impose duties on US imports as early as Wednesday evening (February 12) local time, raising concerns about the expansion of the global trade war and possibly accelerating US inflation. This is beneficial for gold to recover quickly. Trump's latest round of tariffs unsettled markets comes just as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi prepares to visit the White House on Thursday. The Trump administration has complained that India's high tariffs have hindered U.S. imports. Economists generally view tariffs as an inflation risk, with data released Wednesday showing U.S. consumer prices rose the most in nearly a year and a half in January. OANDA:XAUUSD jumped $45 from Wednesday's low After the release of stronger-than-expected US CPI data on Wednesday, spot gold prices fell sharply to $2,864 per ounce in early New York trading on Wednesday. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Wednesday that the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.5% month-on-month and 3.0% year-over-year in January. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones expected the data to rise 0.3% month-on-month and 2.9% year-over-year. Excluding volatile food and energy prices, core CPI rose 0.4% month-on-month and 3.3% year-on-year in January, while economists expected increases of 0.3% and 3.1%, respectively. Economists have generally raised their inflation forecasts since Trump was elected out of concern that his policies, especially tariffs, could spark price pressures in the economy. Gold is considered an inflation hedge, but because gold does not earn interest, a higher interest rate environment reduces its investment appeal. However, fueled by safe-haven demand, gold prices have recovered strongly from lows. During the New York trading session on Wednesday, gold prices jumped above the original price of 2,900 USD and as of the time this article was completed it was trading at around 2,909 USD/ounce, up 45 Dollars compared to the level from yesterday's trading day. Central banks' gold demand has increased as the World Gold Council (WGC) reported that central banks bought more than 1,000 tons of gold for the third consecutive year in 2024. According to the World Gold Council, central banks' gold purchases increased more than 54% year-on-year to 333 tons after Trump won the election. Gold's recent rally has come alongside an influx of money into exchange-traded funds (ETFs) backed by the metal. According to Bloomberg calculations, global gold ETFs have grown more than 1% this year, reaching their highest level since November last year. Technically on the daily chart, after OANDA:XAUUSD took support from the Fibonacci extension confluence with the upper edge of the price channel, it quickly recovered above the original price point of 2,900 USD. This was noted to readers in yesterday's edition. Given its current position, it has room to continue rising with a target of around $2,927 in the short term, more than $2,952. As long as gold remains within the price channel, the short-term uptrend will still prevail, while the Relative Strength Index has not shown any clear signs of a potential correction. During the day, gold's uptrend will be noted again by the following technical levels.

2025-02-13 - priceactiontds - daily update - nasdaq Good Evening and I hope you are well. comment: As expected after yesterday’s cpi reversal, bears are not strong enough and bulls wanted a higher high badly. Now a new ath is much more likely than prices below 21800. Max bullishness would be if we stay above 22k but everything above 21900 is ok for the bulls. We have a decent channel on the 1h tf but it’s not steep enough to get to 21400 tomorrow. So it’s probably best to pay more attention to the lower trend line and not looking to short the upper one. current market cycle: trading range key levels: 21800 - 22500 bull case: Bulls now only need to keep it above 21900 and bears can’t hold shorts on this. We could easily print 22500 or higher tomorrow. Today we had wild swings on smaller time-frames so I doubt many bulls would want to buy the highs but we should know an hour into the Globex session if we can expect sideways to down first or if bulls just keep it above 22k in fear of not getting enough points to the upside. Odds are good for a max long day tomorrow. Invalidation is below 21900. bear case: Bears can scalp short on new highs but the risk of getting trapped if we break above was never higher this week. If they somehow manage to get below 21900 again, the bull case would be in trouble but for now we are making clear higher highs and higher lows. Could bears stay below 22100 tomorrow and break sideways out of the channel? Yeah but we closed at 22094. If Globex sells-off hard, might happen but I doubt it. Bears do not have much here. Invalidation is above 22150. short term: Clear plan. Stay above 21900 and long for 22400+. Dip below and see if bears can generate follow-through. Leaning heavily bullish though. medium-long term - Update from 2024-02-09: Another lower high but also higher lows. Bears are not doing enough, so we are in a trading range below the ath. We are close to it that there is always the possibility of printing a higher high again. Bears need lower lows below 20600 before we can talk about 20000 again. trade of the day: Strong selling on the open but by now everyone knows bears are only getting trapped this week, so buying around 21750 was where market found support late yesterday and we dipped only 6 points below the low from yesterday evening. Market refused to go down after the early EU session selling was done, so long it was. The pullback from 22000 down to 21890 was deep and holding longs through it was tough but if you look at the 1h chart at the end of the day, it was much more bullish than lower time-frames suggested.
