Learn The Difference Between Beginner and Expert in Trading
In the today's post, we will discuss the evolution of a mindset of a trader as he matures in trading.
✔️Beginner
For some unknown reasons, beginners assume that a couple of educational videos and books about trading is more than enough to start trading successfully.
They believe that they got a comprehensive knowledge and that very few things remain to learn.
They start trading, but quickly realize that their knowledge is not enough to make even small gains.
✔️COMPETENT
After practicing a couple of years, traders come to the conclusion
that they know everything in that field. That they learned, tested and tried all concepts and techniques that are available.
They consider themselves to be the experts in the field BUT
for some unknown reasons, these traders still are not able to trade profitably.
✔️EXPERT
After many years of learning, training and practicing, eyes finally open.
Traders realize how limited is their knowledge and how much more there is to learn .
While they already have the skills to trade in profits, they understand now that even the entire life is not enough to learn all the subtleties of trading.
And here is a little lifehack for you:
if you are a beginner, embrace a mindset of an expert.
Start from realizing how little you actually know and how much more there is to know, that will help you a lot in your trading journey.

EUR/AUD BEARS ARE GAINING STRENGTH|SHORT
Hello, Friends!
EUR/AUD is making a bullish rebound on the 12H TF and is nearing the resistance line above while we are generally bearish biased on the pair due to our previous 1W candle analysis, thus making a trend-following short a good option for us with the target being the 1.762 level.

HYPE/USDT Technical Analysis (4H Chart)🔍 HYPE/USDT Technical Analysis (4H Chart)
High Time Frame (Daily): Bullish
Despite recent pullbacks, the overall trend remains bullish on the daily timeframe. However, current price action suggests a potential fakeout or legitimate breakdown, as we test key structural and volume-based supports.
Short-Term Time Frame (4H): Bearish
The 4-hour chart displays clear bearish pressure, confirmed by the Three Black Crows candlestick pattern. This signals sustained selling interest and supports the current downward move.
🧱 Key Zones
Supply Zone: $41.7 – $45.9
Strong resistance marked by prior selling pressure and overlapping FVGs.
Demand Zone: $24.4 – $26.3
Historical area of buying support, aligned with a low-volume node and an unfilled FVG.
📏 Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
Above Price:
Four 4H FVGs act as upside inefficiencies, offering targets in a bullish recovery:
~$34.9
~$36.6
~$37.8
~$40.0 (psychological level & POC cluster)
Below Price:
One major 4H FVG remains unfilled, directly above the demand zone.
📐 Fibonacci Analysis
Price is testing the Golden Pocket (0.618–0.65) from the recent swing low to high.
A clean break below this area (with confirmation) targets the unfilled FVG around $30, and potentially the demand zone ($24.4–$26.3).
📉 Volume Profile Insight
Volume is clustered around $34–$37, indicating strong past market participation.
Very low volume between $29–$30, creating a volume void — if price loses support at the FVG and golden pocket, it could rapidly drop into the demand zone.
🔻 OBV Analysis (Volume Momentum)
OBV has broken below a larger rising wedge, confirming bearish divergence.
A falling wedge is now forming within OBV.
Break below this wedge: Confirms further price breakdown.
Reclaim of the larger wedge trendline: Suggests potential bullish reversal.
✅ Trade Scenarios
🔺 Bullish Scenario
Trigger: Bullish reversal pattern at the golden pocket (e.g., double bottom, falling wedge, inverse H&S) + OBV recovery.
Entry: Upon confirmation around $32.5.
Targets:
$34.9 (FVG)
$36.6 (FVG)
$37.8 (FVG)
$40.0 (psychological)
Stop: Below $30 or recent swing low (tight below FVG).
🔻 Bearish Scenario
Trigger : Confirmed breakdown of golden pocket & 4H FVG with OBV falling wedge breakdown.
Entry : Below $32.5 with confirmation (e.g., retest or strong momentum candle).
Targets:
$30.0 (psychological level)
$28.5 (FVG zone)
$26.3 → $24.4 (Demand zone)
Stop : Above golden pocket resistance (~$33.8–$34.2).
📝 Conclusion: The market is at a pivotal point. A confirmed break below $32.5 could accelerate selling due to the volume gap, while a strong bullish reaction from the golden pocket could drive a recovery toward $40. Always wait for confirmation before entering either scenario.
BITCOIN - Price can continue grow inside flat to $109000 levelHi guys, this is my overview for BTCUSD, feel free to check it and write your feedback in comments👊
A few days ago, the price entered a wedge, declining below the $103500 level and then making a strong impulse up.
Next, price broke $103500 level one more time and rose to resistance line of wedge, after which started to decline.
BTC broke $109000 level and started to trades inside a flat, where it declined to support level and then bounced up.
Price rose to resistance level, which is top part of flat, and then at once dropped back and started trading close.
But some time later, price bounced from this level and started to grow, and even now it continues to grow.
So, I think that BTC can make a small correction movement and then continue to grow to $109000 level.

EURUSD - 2nd potential entryEvening all
Here is a still screenshot of what I am looking for the market open on EURUSD come Sunday night after the spreads have died down on the pair.
My pending order will go directly on the FVG with my stops below the manipulation of the range.
If I get tagged in great. If I don't also great if we continue to move high I mill just manage the one position.
If I am tagged in I will give you and update with a new idea and then depending on how that idea plays out win or lose I will come back and re-visit it and break it down some more.
However I have high hopes for this trade to make it up to 1.16300
Have a great weekend
and I will speak to you all soon
ADA | BTC | ET | Why ALTSEASON is COMING SOONAfter a -34% retracement, ADA is ready to go higher alongside with the rest of the alt market.
We see a very interesting phenomena here, were ADA also represents a large part of the larger alts: BTC pulls back, ETH is starting to increase or trades sideways (before the increase) whilst the alts dip.
This is actually BULLISH for alts, showing the very clear rotation between BTC, ETH and top 15 alts.
If we look at the macro of ANY of the alts I've been working through recently, a similar pattern appears - a clear bottom, followed by a sideways trade. This is usually the point just before the big ALTS season.
We actually see this pattern at the end of the 2018 rally, as well as after the 202- Covid dip:
The bottom line -
ADA and other alts are gearing up for their ALTSEASON. With patience, we will soon see some great gains across the markets.

ETH - Do you Notice a Pattern here? I DO...Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst.
📈I find ETH 4h chart as it looks like history repeating itself.
Previously in 1 to 5 June, it formed a slight lower low before starting the next big bullish impulse leading towards the upper bound of the channel.
📚 Today, ETH just formed the slight lower low we are looking for.
Is it time for the next bullish impulse to start? well it will be confirmed after breaking above the last major high at $2,600.
What do you think?
📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.
Good luck!
All Strategies Are Good; If Managed Properly!

Inverse Cocoa?Keeping a close eye on this one. Whilst everyone tries to catch the bottom on an ever falling Nasdaq and tech stocks, the market has had far better trades to offer. I traded JDEP as my inverse Coffee play, now I bring to your attention one of the world's leading confectionery companies being affected by cocoa prices. This name is beared the brunt of a cocoa bull run, but as supply and demand equilibrium is at a better balance, this stock could outperform to the upside.
Keep an eye on cocoa, if price plummets I expect Barry Callebaut to outperform. There's no rush to buy this, we are sitting at historic level of support. I'd like to see some consolidation here before jumping into a trade.

Trading Signals for Gold Sell below $3,443 (21 SMA -7/8 Murrray)The XAU/USD trend remains bullish as long as the price consolidates above 3,384.
Therefore, it would be prudent to buy gold as long as the price consolidates above3,444, where the 7/8 Murray level is located.
Gold's volatility will continue over the next few days, so we believe it could move between 3,386 and 3,356.
Consequently, if gold consolidates and breaks above 3.498, it would be seen as a buying opportunity, with targets at the 8/8 Murray level around 3,600/
Last tow months, gold gapped around 3,498. This will likely be seen as a buying opportunity if the price breaks above the psychological level of $3,439
Conversely, below the R_1 around 3,443, gold will be seen as an opportunity to sell, targeting 3,400 and the bottom of the uptrend channel around 3,338.
The RSI indicator is showing a negative signal, so we must be cautious when buying, as a very strong technical correction could occur.
EURUSD ,4H CHART PATTERN EUR/USD is currently retesting the previous breakout zone around 1.14679 after a strong bullish impulse. Price has respected the demand zone (highlighted grey), indicating potential for continuation to the upside. If bullish momentum sustains, next target lies at 1.18044."

🔍 Key Fundamentals Driving AUDUSD
AUD Fundamentals (Weakening):
Australian jobs data was mixed, and wage growth has plateaued.
RBA remains cautious, with expectations for rate cuts later in 2025.
AUD pressured by China growth risks and weak commodity demand.
Geopolitical drag: Australia-China tensions and weak Chinese retail data from 618 Festival dampen AUD outlook.
USD Fundamentals (Resilient):
USD remains bid on risk-off flows, especially after weak global data and ongoing Middle East tensions.
Fed remains reluctant to cut fast despite disinflation signs – supports the USD.
US data is mixed, but rate cut odds are declining (only one expected in 2025 now per dot plot).
⚠️ Risks to This Bearish View
If China announces new stimulus, AUD could rebound sharply.
A dovish surprise from the Fed (e.g. Powell softening in speeches).
Sharp rebound in risk appetite (e.g. tech-led equity rally).
🗓️ Important Events to Watch
🇨🇳 China industrial profits & PMIs
🇦🇺 RBA Meeting Minutes (July preview hints)
🇺🇸 US Core PCE (June 28)
Global risk tone: watch metals, equities, and geopolitical headlines.
🚀 Which Asset Leads?
AUDUSD is lagging other USD pairs, but will likely lead commodity FX downside if China or metals weaken further.
Watch AUDJPY and EURAUD for further confirmation of risk-off flows and Aussie weakness.

Middle East Tension & Markets: My Honest Stance🌍🕊️✌️ Middle East Tension & Markets: My Honest Stance 💣 🔥 🗡️
Hi everyone,
It’s Friday, June 20th — and we face a fragile moment: the uncertainty of possible US military action against Iran. 📉📰✈️
On my charts:
Bitcoin (BTC) reached key resistance and now ranges sideways as we await clarity.
Gold (XAUUSD) remains the classic safe haven — it holds an ascending structure, but profit-taking could trigger dips if markets crash.
Silver (XAGUSD) is similar, yet needs broader industrial strength to outperform gold.
Crude Oil (WTI) could spike dramatically if bombs fall — but I choose not to profit from pain.
USDJPY & USD pairs reflect global trust in the dollar and US stability — I’ll cover this more next week.
My personal stance is simple:
💙 I never short disasters. I never profit from human suffering. I am LONG on humanity and peace. 🕊️✌️🌈
👉 I expect potential market gaps between now and Monday:
✅ Bad news (war) → gold, silver, oil likely pump
✅ Good news (diplomacy) → risk assets rebound, oil stabilizes
I am positioned carefully with small risk and clear stops. My goal: protect my capital, trade my plan, but never bet on pain. If I lose because peace prevails — I win as a human.
Stay safe, trade wisely, and never forget: sometimes the best trade is no trade at all.
One Love,
The FXPROFESSOR 💙

CRCL LOOKS OVERBOUGHTAs you can see after a good ride from 102 to 234 now the stock looks overbought. and on shorter time frames the price action shows a classic pattern of double top and breaking the previous support. simply if the stock closes 15 m candle below the support you might see a short retest to the support from downside that is a good point to short.
USD/JPY 4H Chart Analysis – Bullish Breakout Ahead?📈 USD/JPY 4H Chart Analysis – Bullish Breakout Ahead? 🚀💹
The USD/JPY pair is currently approaching a critical resistance zone (145.800 - 146.000), which has acted as a strong supply area in the past. The price has shown bullish momentum as it builds higher lows and heads toward this resistance.
🔍 Key Observations:
🔵 Resistance Zone: Clearly marked and tested multiple times. A breakout above this level could trigger a bullish continuation.
📊 Bullish Structure: The pair is forming a strong uptrend with higher highs and higher lows on the 4H timeframe.
🔄 Retest Scenario: Chart suggests a potential breakout above the resistance, followed by a bullish retest before continuing toward the target zone at ~148.900.
🟢 Upside Target: 148.900 (Previous swing high) – a potential gain of over 300 pips from breakout point.
📌 Trading Outlook:
✅ A confirmed breakout and retest of the resistance zone could offer a high-probability long setup.
❌ A failure to break and hold above the resistance may result in short-term consolidation or reversal.
📅 Watch Levels:
Resistance: 145.800 – 146.000
Support (breakout retest): 145.200 – 145.500
Bullish Target: 148.900
📢 Conclusion: Bulls are in control as long as price sustains above the resistance zone. A clean breakout followed by a retest could offer an attractive buying opportunity with a well-defined risk-to-reward setup. 🔥📊
USDCAD Analysis – Breaking the Chains, Eyeing 1.38+USDCAD Price broke out from a long descending channel, followed by two bullish continuation flags – classic breakout-retest pattern.
Price is now pushing above 1.3720, aligning with the 38.2% Fib level of the prior drop.
Next upside targets:
🔹 1.3833 (Fib 61.8%)
🔹 1.3913 (Fib 78.6%)
Clear stop level: below 1.3625 (channel breakout support)
Structure Bias: Bullish continuation. Clean breakout + consolidation = probable impulse toward 1.3830/1.39.
📊 Current Bias: Bullish
🔍 Key Fundamentals Driving USDCAD
USD Drivers (Neutral to Bullish):
Fed held rates, dot plot shows only 1 cut in 2025, but Powell's tone leaned dovish.
US Retail Sales + PPI were weak, but safe-haven USD demand persists due to geopolitical risks and equity volatility.
Market reassessing Trump election risk, Fed independence, and inflation stickiness.
CAD Drivers (Bearish):
Oil prices are volatile due to Middle East tensions, but weak demand caps upside.
Canada’s CPI softened, BoC already delivered a dovish cut earlier this month.
CAD under pressure due to dovish BoC outlook and fiscal concerns (gov't budget deficits expanding).
CAD is also suffering from reduced foreign investment flows.
⚠️ Risks to Watch
Oil price spikes (especially if Strait of Hormuz risk escalates) may boost CAD short-term.
A sharp reversal in DXY or Fed commentary shift toward aggressive easing.
Weak US data next week (Core PCE especially) could unwind USD momentum.
🗓️ Upcoming Events to Watch
US Core PCE (June 28) – critical inflation gauge for the Fed
BoC Business Outlook Survey
Oil Inventories + Global energy sentiment
Geopolitical: Israel–Iran updates and Canada’s fiscal signals
🏁 Which Pair Leads the Move?
USDCAD is leading commodity crosses as CAD weakness broadens. Watch USDCAD and GBPCAD for signs of CAD softness before others like AUDCAD/NZDCAD follow.
