Japanese Yen Pairs: A Short Guide on Relative StrengthIndicators are a popular choice among many traders, and they certainly have their place in my own toolkit. But sometimes it is best to simply look the price to gauge strength. And doing so, it can help us scenario plan for future events. After I take a quick look at Japanese yen pairs, I wrap up on my preferred setup.

GBPJPY: Structure Is Still BullishAs explained in the video, my bias is still bullish. HHs and LHs are still being formed. So I am looking to buy GJ as long at 189.97 holds as support. Nice breakout and retest of the falling wedge, which has a bullish FVG and bearish breaker block confluence. I am waiting to see how London looks. Remember we have FOMC tomorrow.
GOLD China’s massive gold purchases carry significant geopolitical implications that reshape global economic and financial power dynamics:
1. Dedollarization and Reduced US Dollar Dominance
China’s aggressive gold accumulation is a core part of its strategy to reduce dependence on the US dollar amid rising geopolitical tensions and economic decoupling. By increasing gold reserves-while sharply cutting US Treasury holdings-China aims to insulate itself from dollar-related risks such as sanctions or asset freezes, as highlighted by the 2022 Russia-Ukraine conflict experience. This shift undermines the dollar’s global reserve currency status and supports the emergence of a more multipolar currency system.
2. Enhanced Sovereignty and Financial Security
Gold provides China with a tangible, sovereign asset that cannot be frozen or devalued by foreign powers. This strengthens China’s economic autonomy and resilience against external pressures, especially amid ongoing US-China trade conflicts and Taiwan tensions. Physical gold reserves bolster confidence in China’s currency (yuan) and financial system, helping to back efforts to internationalize the yuan and reduce reliance on Western financial infrastructure.
3. Geopolitical Influence and Economic Restructuring
China’s gold market dominance is part of a broader “economic divorce” from the West, reflecting deglobalization trends and the formation of alternative trading and financial systems led by BRICS and allied nations. By controlling significant gold supplies and refining capacity, China gains leverage in global commodity markets and strengthens its geopolitical influence, challenging US-led economic order.
4. Impact on Global Financial Markets and US Economy
China’s gold buying fuels a “virtuous cycle” for itself but a “vicious cycle” for the US: rising gold prices in dollar terms signal dollar weakness, prompting further diversification away from dollar assets, reducing demand for US Treasuries, pushing US bond yields higher, and increasing US borrowing costs. This dynamic pressures US fiscal stability and economic growth.
5. Strategic Resource Control and Long-Term Planning
The recent discovery of a massive gold deposit in China’s Hunan province (over 1,100 tonnes) further strengthens China’s position, potentially boosting reserves by 44% and reducing reliance on imports. This strategic resource control enhances China’s ability to influence global gold supply and pricing, reinforcing its geopolitical and economic ambitions.
Will NASDAQ Continue Its Climb? Here's my Trade Plan.📈 NASDAQ 100 (NAS100) Technical & Price Action Outlook 💡🚀
The NASDAQ has been in a strong bullish trend, driven by optimism around interest rates, tech earnings, and positive momentum. 📰💻 While price has pushed up aggressively, it’s now trading near key highs and buy-side liquidity zones—a spot where I’m anticipating a possible pullback. 🔁💰
I’m watching closely for a retracement into the 50% Fibonacci zone—my point of interest for a potential long setup. 🎯📐 However, I’ll only consider entering if price breaks structure bullish (BoS) after the pullback. 📊🧠
The index is still recovering from earlier 2025 losses, and resistance lies just ahead—so risk management is key. 🧘♂️⚠️
Not financial advice.
GOLDChina's central bank is aggressively accumulating gold reserves as part of a multifaceted strategic agenda, driven by the following factors:
1. Diversification Away from US Dollar Assets
China is reducing reliance on US Treasuries, converting proceeds into gold to mitigate risks from US sanctions, trade tensions, and dollar volatility.
Gold now represents 6.5% of China’s total foreign reserves (up from 5.9% in January 2025), signaling a deliberate shift toward non-USD assets.
2. Geopolitical and Economic Hedging
Escalating US-China trade conflicts (e.g., tariffs) and Taiwan tensions have heightened the need for a "safe haven" asset to insulate China’s economy.
Gold’s role as a crisis hedge is critical amid fears of financial instability or sanctions, especially with the US targeting Chinese exports.
3. Supporting the Yuan’s Global Role
Gold reserves bolster confidence in the yuan, aiding its internationalization and positioning it as a credible alternative to the dollar in trade settlements.
The PBOC’s gold-backed digital yuan initiative aims to enhance its appeal as a global reserve currency.
4. State-Mandated Institutional Demand
Chinese insurers and pension funds are required to allocate 1% of assets to gold, absorbing ~30–40% of global annual supply.
This creates structural supply deficits, driving up prices and reinforcing gold’s value in China’s reserves.
5. Undisclosed Strategic Stockpiling
Officially reported reserves (2,292t) likely understate holdings. Analysts estimate 40,000+ tonnes when including military and state-controlled entities.
Secret stockpiling prepares China for potential crises, including wartime financing or currency stabilization.
6. Market Dynamics and Price Control
The PBOC’s sustained purchases (12.8t in Q1 2025) and Shanghai Futures Exchange activity have fueled gold’s 20% price surge in 2025, enhancing reserve values.
By dominating physical markets, China gains influence over global gold pricing, reducing dependence on Western exchanges.
Summary:
Reduce USD dependency Swap Treasuries for gold Insulates against US policy risks
Yuan internationalization Back currency with gold reserves Enhances trust in digital yuan
Geopolitical hedge Prepare for trade/currency wars Stabilizes economy during crises
Control supply/pricing Mandate institutional buying, restrict exports Tightens global supply, supports prices
China’s gold strategy is a calculated response to global instability, aiming to secure economic sovereignty and challenge the dollar’s dominance. This trend is expected to persist, with analysts forecasting gold could reach $4,500/oz by late 2025 due to China-driven demand
Weekly plan for PEPEIn this idea I marked the important levels for this week and considered a few scenarios of price performance
The price has already reached the support level and if the price falls under it, it will aim for the second support zone. RSI is already showing bullish divergence, but it is possible to see a sharp decline before an upward correction

Palantir has a 7 peg ratio, it was cheap at 2. now what?palantir stock is trading at 7x its growth rate in pe, over 200 pe.
Warren Buffett and Peter Lynch would hate this valuation, even though the business is great.
Id be a buyer at 33, roughly where the 200 week or 1000 day moving average is, but thats because I want bargain prices and growth stocks.
GOLD Price Analysis: Key Insights for Next Week Trading DecisionGold ended last week under pressure as investors booked profits following improved risk appetite, driven by easing trade tensions and a strong U.S. labor market report.
📰 NFP came in at +177K in April, with the unemployment rate steady at 4.2%, matching forecasts—possibly keeping the Fed cautious on policy easing.
Technically, Gold remains bullish but is now testing the $3,200 support zone, and sellers are gaining momentum.
As we head into next week, gold price action is at a critical decision point, and whether buyers or sellers will take control is unclear.
In this video, I break down the key technical zones, share my trading plan, and discuss potential opportunities to help navigate the uncertainty ahead.

BITCOIN CHARTBTC weekly chart exposed the demand and supply phase of the price movement and we quickly aligned with price movement until genuine buy confirmation is complete. The crypto tax gains is coming and regulatory inspection certain, as strict compliance from all brokers will be unavoidable.
4hrs makes it easy as one more break of demand floor will be a sell confirmation, don't rush yet.

What will such a quick fall in LTC lead to ?In this idea I marked the important levels for this week and considered a few scenarios of price performance
The price has been falling fast enough in the last few days, there is no hint of correction yet, but the price has already reached the support level. If the price falls under it, it will tend to the second support zone

SILVER XAGUSD
Silver Demand Trends in 2025
Global silver demand is forecast to remain broadly stable in 2025 at around 1.20 billion ounces, with industrial use hitting a new record high. This is driven by ongoing growth in green technologies (solar panels, EVs), electronics, and AI-related products.
Industrial demand is expected to surpass 700 million ounces for the first time, while demand for coins and bars is rebounding in Western markets after a sharp drop in 2024.
Despite stable demand, the silver market remains in a structural deficit for the fifth year, with a 2025 shortfall projected at 117.6 million ounces-though this deficit is narrowing due to increased mine supply, especially from Mexico and Poland.
Which Country is Stockpiling Silver?
China is aggressively stockpiling silver in 2025.
China is purchasing large quantities of unrefined silver concentrate directly from Latin American refiners and miners, securing supply before it reaches the global spot market.
This strategy is driven by surging domestic industrial demand (especially for solar panels) and declining Chinese mine output.
How the China–Taiwan Conflict Affects Silver
Geopolitical tensions between China and Taiwan-and broader US-China trade frictions-are major drivers of silver price volatility and demand in 2025:
Safe-haven demand: Investors are turning to silver (alongside gold) as a hedge against geopolitical risk, trade war escalation, and potential supply disruptions.
Industrial risk: Tariffs and potential conflict threaten global electronics and solar manufacturing supply chains, both of which are major consumers of silver.
Strategic stockpiling: China’s accumulation of silver is partly a defensive measure in case of sanctions, trade blockades, or conflict with Taiwan and the US, ensuring access to critical industrial inputs.
Market impact: These factors have led to sharp price swings, with silver rallying nearly 4% in a single day during recent trade war escalations. Physical shortages are emerging, and above-ground inventories are at multi-year lows.
Summary Table
China’s industrial growth & stockpiling Increases global demand, tightens supply
China–Taiwan–US tensions Boosts safe-haven and strategic demand
Trade war/tariffs Disrupts supply chains, adds volatility
Physical inventory depletion Supports higher prices, risk of shortages
In summary:
Silver demand in 2025 remains robust, especially for industrial uses. China is the leading country stockpiling silver, buying directly from Latin America to secure supply amid falling domestic output and rising demand. The China–Taiwan conflict and US-China trade tensions are key catalysts, fueling safe-haven buying, strategic accumulation, and price volatility. These dynamics are likely to keep silver in a structural deficit and support elevated prices throughout the year.
