Trading Silver’s Retrace: 50% Equilibrium Strategy for XAGUSD🪙 XAUUSD Technical Analysis The daily chart for XAGUSD shows a significant sell-off after a strong bullish move, with a retracement of approximately 21.93% from the recent swing high. However, the price has since broken structure to the upside, indicating a potential shift in momentum back to the bulls. The current price action is trending upward, approaching the previous high, which could act as a resistance level. Your plan to look for a retrace into the 50% equilibrium of the recent swing on the 4-hour chart is technically sound, as this level often acts as a magnet for price and a potential area for institutional order flow. Waiting for a pullback and a bullish structural break in your area of interest increases the probability of a successful long entry. 🔍 Key Levels & Price Action The 50% equilibrium of the recent swing (measured from the swing low to the swing high) is a classic area for price to retrace before resuming the trend. If price pulls back into this zone and forms a bullish structure (such as a higher low or a bullish engulfing candle), it could provide a high-probability long setup. Watch for confirmation on lower timeframes (like the 4H) for added confluence. The previous high around $35 may act as resistance, so partial profits or tighter stops near this level could be prudent. 🌐 Fundamentals & Sentiment Silver is currently benefiting from a mix of macroeconomic factors. Ongoing inflation concerns, central bank buying, and geopolitical tensions (such as those in Eastern Europe and the Middle East) are supporting precious metals. Additionally, industrial demand for silver remains robust, especially with the global push toward green energy and solar panel production. However, a stronger US dollar or rising bond yields could temporarily cap gains. Sentiment among retail traders is cautiously bullish, with many looking for dips to buy, but there is also a risk of volatility if macro data surprises. 🧠 Alternative Views Some analysts caution that the recent rally may be overextended, and a deeper correction could occur if risk-off sentiment returns or if the Fed signals more aggressive tightening. Others point to the strong uptrend and suggest that any pullback is likely to be bought, especially if it aligns with key technical levels like the 50% retracement. Keep an eye on COT (Commitment of Traders) data for signs of large speculator positioning, as well as ETF flows for additional clues on institutional sentiment. 📈 Trade Management & Risk If entering long on a pullback to the 50% equilibrium, consider using a stop loss below the swing low to protect against a deeper correction. Scaling out profits as price approaches the previous high or key resistance zones can help lock in gains. Always use proper risk management and avoid overleveraging, especially in a volatile market like silver. 🎬 Video Title Options "Silver’s Next Move: 50% Retrace Entry?

US500 Day Trade Setup: Liquidity Pools, Gaps & What’s Next?The US500 (S&P 500) 4-hour chart recently showed a gap up, followed by a strong move into the previous range highs. This price action likely triggered buy stops and tapped into buy-side liquidity above the prior swing highs. After this liquidity sweep, the market has pulled back and is now consolidating just above a visible gap, which sits slightly below the current price level. From a Wyckoff perspective, this resembles an upthrust after distribution, where price runs stops above resistance before reversing. The current pullback suggests a potential test of the gap area, which often acts as a magnet for price, especially if there’s unmitigated liquidity left behind. Using ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts, the recent move above the range high can be seen as a raid on buy-side liquidity, followed by a retracement. The gap below current price represents an imbalance, and ICT traders often look for price to revisit such inefficiencies before resuming the trend. 🌐 Fundamental & Sentiment Backdrop Recent data shows the S&P 500 has experienced a sharp correction in April, with a monthly drop of about 5.75% from the previous month, but it remains up 6.8% year-over-year (YCharts). The market has been volatile, with sentiment shifting due to macroeconomic concerns, including renewed trade tensions (notably new tariffs), a mixed earnings season, and questions about the Federal Reserve’s next moves (IG). Wall Street analysts have recently revised their year-end targets lower, citing increased risks from tariffs and slowing earnings growth (Yahoo Finance). The VIX is elevated (28.45), and the put/call ratio is above 1, indicating heightened hedging and caution among market participants (YCharts). 🏦 Wyckoff & ICT Concepts in Play 🏗️ Wyckoff: The recent rally into the highs and subsequent pullback fits the upthrust after distribution narrative. If the market fails to reclaim the highs, a move back into the gap (potentially as a sign of weakness) is likely. 💧 ICT: The gap below current price is a clear area of interest. If price trades down to fill this gap, watch for a reaction—either a bounce (if demand steps in) or a continuation lower if the gap fails to hold. 💡 Day Trade Idea (Not Intra-day) Scenario: If price trades down to fill the gap just below the current level (around 5,300–5,320), monitor for a bullish reaction (such as a strong daily close, a bullish order block, or a clear rejection wick). Trade Plan: 🕵️‍♂️ Wait for price to fill the gap and show a bullish daily signal. 🎯 Enter a day trade long at the next day’s open if confirmation is present (e.g., a bullish daily candle close or a break above the previous day’s high). 🛑 Place a stop loss just below the gap or the most recent swing low. 📈 Target the previous high near 5,400 for a day trade, or consider scaling out if momentum continues. Alternative: If price fails to hold the gap and closes below it on the daily chart, consider a day trade short the following day, targeting the next liquidity pool below (e.g., 5,200). ⚠️ Disclaimer This analysis is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.

Is the USD strength back or just a pullback??All the information you need to find a high probability trade are in front of you on the charts so build your trading decisions on 'the facts' of the chart NOT what you think or what you want to happen or even what you heard will happen. If you have enough facts telling you to trade in a certain direction and therefore enough confluence to take a trade, then this is how you will gain consistency in you trading and build confidence.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade Update For 4-23 : Rally-111 PatternToday's pattern really showed up pre-market. Where was the rally today? It happened before the US markets opened for business. The SPY/QQQ had already moved up into my upper resistance area on strong buying overnight. I knew I had to run my father around most of the day, so I booked my profits this morning and tried to catch one little SPY rally (that didn't work out). So, I started taking some positions for next week's potential downtrend, and I thought, "How much risk am I taking on these trades if the markets continue to move upward?" I realized I would be taking about $1000 to $1400 in total risk, but my expiration date is near May 16. So my target for any profit really needs to be before May 10th or so. If the markets do what I expect, I'll be sitting back, watching my profits grow as the markets trend downward into my May 2 Major Bottom (I hope). I created this video to highlight the now partially confirmed inverted EPP pattern that setup the Ultimate High in early trading today. Now that we've completed the inverted EPP pattern, we should be looking for the ES/SPY/QQQ to move downward, shift into a sideways/upward price flag. Then, break down into the new Consolidation phase. Essentially, if my EPP patterns play out well, I timed my move away from longs/calls and into shorts/puts almost perfectly. Now, I just need to sit back and wait for the markets to make a move. This is what trading is all about. You can't kick the markets to do what you want them to do. You have to learn to take what the markets give you and fall in line with market trends. When you do that well, profits start to fall into your lap (if you are patient). Follow along as I break down these market trends and learn how to develop your own skills.

How To Filter Signals On The 1 Minute Scalping IndicatorThis tutorial shows you how to use external indicators to filter out signals on the 1 Minute Scalping Indicator so that you only get signals that are in the direction of the trend. Step By Step Process: 1. Pick an external indicator that provides an output value of 1 for bullish, -1 for bearish or 0 for neutral and add it to your chart. We have multiple indicators that can do this, but you can also customize your own indicators to provide this value and use that to filter out signals. 2. Set your desired trend parameters on your external indicator and make sure that indicator is on the same chart as the 1 Minute Scalping Indicator. 3. Go to the indicator settings for the 1 Minute Scalping Indicator and turn on one of the 3 available External Indicator Filters. Then from the dropdown menu, select the external indicator you want to use and make sure to choose the output value that gives the 1, -1 or 0 output for trends. Our indicators will have an output titled "Trend Direction To Send To External Indicators" to make that value easy to find in the dropdown menus. That's it! Let the 1 Minute Scalping Indicator reload with the external indicator trend values and it will only show buy signals during bullish trends, only show sell signals during bearish trends or no signals during neutral markets. Make sure to back test your setup until you find the best external indicators and settings to use that work best for your trading style and then apply that setup to any chart you would like. Here is the code you can use to add a trend value to your own custom indicators and send it to the 1 Minute Scalping Indicator: trendDirection = 0 if close > ema1 trendDirection := 1 else if close < ema1 trendDirection := -1 else trendDirection := 0 plot(trendDirection, title="Trend Direction To Send To External Indicators", color=#00000000, display=display.data_window) Change the (close > ema1) and (close < ema1) to use your own variables from within your script.
