Choosing the Right TimeframeHey traders and investors!
Selecting the right timeframe can reveal a clear picture of price movement. But don’t forget — the higher timeframe always has priority.
🔹 On the 12H, Bitcoin is in a sideways range.
The move from 78,500 to 95,000 could’ve been anticipated — a buyer Decision candle (IKC) formed at the lower boundary of the range gave a strong signal.
The boundaries of the range are marked with black lines on the chart.
What about now?
🔸 No signs of strong selling.
🔸 The last Decision candle (IKC) at the top of the range belongs to the buyer.
🔸 The buyer has already taken out its high.
📉 For shorts — we need seller strength, ideally with price moving below 91,660.
📈 Longs can be considered on lower timeframes, aiming for their local targets.
Not every timeframe gives clear context.

USDCAD Monthly – Seller Initiative in PlayHey traders and investors!
Take a look at the monthly chart of USDCAD.
The price has been in a sideways range for quite some time, and the seller initiative is currently active.
📌 At the upper boundary of the range, a seller zone (red box) has formed, along with a seller-side Decision bar (IKC), which has now hit the buyer zone (blue box).
⚠️ With this structure, it makes more sense to look for short setups.

Gold — Buyer Power or Pause?The monthly candle closed as a strong buyer candle with significant volume.
This shows strong interest from both buyers and sellers at current levels.
Yesterday, on the daily timeframe, a seller-side IKC appeared (IKC or decision candle — the highest-volume candle within initiatives inside a sideways range).
That puts the current long targets into question — we now need to see a clear show of buyer strength.
📉 The price is currently near the 50% level of the weekly initiative — 3228.382, which could attract buyers.
Below that, daily support zones are marked on the chart at 3193 and 3167, where the buyer may regain initiative.
🔎 To consider long entries, we need to see:
• Buyer strength, and
• Price returning above 3260.

Bitcoin Update: Sell or Wait?Hey traders and investors!
An interesting setup on Bitcoin.
On the 1H timeframe, the market is in a sideways range. The current initiative belongs to the sellers. A clear target is marked on the chart. We also have a seller Decision candle, and a seller zone has formed within its range — a strong signal for short setups.
However, on the daily timeframe, the buyers are still in control, and yesterday’s session closed with increased volume.
On the other hand, Friday also showed a volume spike — but without any meaningful result, and the same happened yesterday.
Sell or not? That’s the question...
The 94,900 level might give us the answer.

Gold in a Sideways RangeHello traders and investors!
The 3283 level, which was the sellers’ target on the daily timeframe, was confidently defended by buyers.
The attacking seller’s candle at this level showed high volume but was absorbed by buyers.
On the 1H timeframe, the market is moving sideways, with active buyer initiative.
The boundaries of the range are marked on the chart with black lines.
It is reasonable to expect the price to move toward the upper boundary of the range at 3363–3370.
This analysis is based on the Initiative Analysis concept (IA).

Gold. Further downside is possible.Hey traders and investors!
Gold price bounced from a contextual level 3283 — the correction low within the dominant buyer’s initiative on the daily timeframe.
Further downside is possible. Watching levels 3381 and 3283.

i dont know guys!I don’t know, guys, but I think this stock is getting interesting. Just last Friday, the first fractal of the drop formed, and now we’ll see the continuation. All this activity is happening within a megaphone pattern, which makes me think NVDA’s price will surpass its all-time high. The optimization of LLM models doesn’t affect anything negatively—it only helps them become more popular and drives more chip sales.
We’re on the brink of launching the Stargate project, and let’s not overlook the fact that both the hardware and software used for AI are evolving. Nothing is set in stone, which is why sales will continue to be monumental. A clear example is that if these models become optimized enough, we could see the massive use of new, more compact chips for household and personal appliances, robots, etc. So don’t be afraid—join the revolution!
Artificial Intelligence in Forex Trading: the Future
Hello readers, my name is Andrea Russo, and I’m a passionate Forex trader with years of experience in the financial markets. Today, I want to talk to you about a topic that has recently captured the attention of many traders: the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Forex trading.
AI isn’t just a trend; it’s a transformative technology that is changing how we analyze markets and make trading decisions. In this article, I’ll walk you through the benefits, challenges, and future potential of AI in the Forex market, based on my own experiences.
The Benefits of Artificial Intelligence in Forex Trading
1. Real-Time Data Analysis
One of the most powerful aspects of AI is its ability to process and analyze massive amounts of data in real time. In the Forex market, where every second matters, this speed can make the difference between profit and loss.
For example, advanced algorithms can analyze economic news, price movements, and technical indicators simultaneously, identifying trading opportunities instantly. Personally, I’ve used AI-powered tools to monitor currency pairs like EUR/USD and GBP/USD, gaining reliable and rapid trading signals.
2. Eliminating Human Error
How many times have you made emotional decisions while trading? It’s happened to me too, but AI has significantly reduced this issue. Algorithms don’t get influenced by fear or greed—they execute trades based purely on predefined logic and concrete data.
3. Adapting to Market Conditions
Another advantage I’ve noticed is AI’s ability to adapt quickly. For instance, a machine learning system can adjust strategies according to market changes, shifting from trend-following techniques to range-bound strategies without any human intervention.
4. Detecting Advanced Patterns
We all know how crucial it is to spot technical patterns on charts. Thanks to neural networks, AI can identify complex signals that even the most experienced traders might miss. I’ve tested a deep learning system that recognizes divergences between RSI and price action, delivering impressive results.
The Challenges of Artificial Intelligence
1. Data Quality
The effectiveness of an AI system depends on the quality of the data used to train it. I’ve encountered algorithms that delivered inconsistent results because they were based on incomplete or outdated historical data. It’s essential to ensure that your data is accurate and representative of current market conditions.
2. Overfitting Issues
Overfitting is a problem I’ve faced personally: during backtesting, a system performed exceptionally well on historical data but failed in live markets. This happens when a model is too tailored to past data and can’t handle new scenarios effectively.
3. Technical Complexity
Not every trader has the technical skills to develop an AI system from scratch. Initially, I had to rely on specialized software providers. It’s crucial to choose reliable tools and at least understand the basics of how they work.
4. Dependence on Technology
Lastly, over-reliance on technology can become a risk. I always recommend maintaining human oversight over automated systems to avoid surprises caused by bugs or unforeseen market events.
The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Forex Trading
Looking ahead, I’m convinced that AI will become an even more integral part of Forex trading. Among the most exciting innovations, I believe we’ll see:
Multimodal Learning: Systems that integrate numerical data, textual information, and charts to deliver comprehensive analyses.
Integration with Blockchain: To enhance the security and transparency of transactions.
Advanced Personalization: Algorithms will be able to create tailor-made strategies for each trader, based on their goals and risk tolerance.
Conclusion
As a trader and technology enthusiast, I’m excited about the possibilities AI offers. However, I firmly believe that the key to success lies in finding a balance between automation and human oversight.
If you’re considering integrating AI into your trading strategies, I recommend starting with simple tools, testing the results, and most importantly, continuing to develop your skills.

ACT - LONG - Good opportunityACT is now ready to give us a chance. Despite being a little late it is still in a good place for daily timeframe. This is a moderate risk trade, as we have a small confirmation and good support. These currencies are also very volatile and high leverage should not be used.
