GOLD - Long📊 XAUUSD – 4H Setup
Gold finally broke out of the descending trendline 📈 after days of bearish movement.
Price tapped into the 3325 demand zone and pushed higher, showing fresh bullish intent.
Right now a clean retest of support could open the door for continuation into key resistance.
📍 Key Levels
Buy zone: 3350 demand retest level
First target: 3400 short-term resistance
Extended target: 3439 supply zone
Invalidation: Close below 3310 ⚠️
💡 Risks
False breakout above trendline trapping longs
Weak follow-through volume could send price back into the range
Macro pressure from USD strength keeping gold capped under 3380
✨ Big Picture
Gold has been coiling for weeks. If buyers defend 3325, we could see this breakout develop into a bigger bullish leg 🚀

SYRUP Priming for a 12% Pop - Longterm ~20% PotentialHey Guys, My last posts were hidden (Again) ty TV, so I'm back at it and keeping it clean and to the point:
Maple Finance
SYRUPUSD
is forming a base at the $0.40 zone after a steep downtrend. Looks like the bleeding's slowing down and we're seeing signs of accumulation.
🍯 Entry: $0.402 - $0.4045
🛑 Stop: $0.3825 (5.4% risk)
🎯 Target 1: $0.4479 (+12.1%)
🚀 Target 2: $0.5100 (+20.6%)
📐 R/R Ratio: ~2.2
This is a structure-based long setup:
Flattening EMAs
Volume compression
Lower wick absorption (buyer presence showing up quietly)
💡 Target 2 ($0.5100) is not a short-term scalp – that's the stretch target IF this turns into full accumulation. Full exit at T1 is a solid take.
More setups on the way.
XAU/USD Intraday Plan | Support & Resistance to WatchGold remains in a bullish structure after breaking above the $3,348 level late last week. Price has since advanced into the $3,368–$3,387 resistance zone and is currently consolidating just beneath $3,387.
A clean break and hold above $3,387 would open the path toward the next upside level at $3,422, with $3,445 as the higher target above.
If price rejects here, watch for a pullback into the $3,358–$3,344 zone. This area is now acting as the first support, backed by the rising 50MA which may act as dynamic support. If buyers fail to hold that zone, focus shifts to the $3,329–$3,313 pullback zone — a deeper support where the 200MA is also positioned, adding confluence.
Failure to hold that area would open the door to a drop into the Secondary Support Zone around $3,295–$3,281, followed by the HTF Support Zone at $3,229–$3,208 if bearish pressure accelerates.
📌 Key Levels to Watch
Resistance:
‣ $3,387 ‣ $3,422 ‣ $3,445
Support:
‣ $3,358 ‣ $3,344 ‣ $3,329 ‣ $3,313 ‣ $3,295 ‣ $3,281 ‣ $3,254
🔎Fundamental Focus:
Today’s key event: ISM Services PMI (4:00pm) – high-impact for USD and gold volatility.
Earlier data (Trade Balance, PMI) may cause intraday spikes.
⚠️ Risk Reminder:
Avoid chasing. Let price react, then confirm. Stay sharp around news.
Aussie Shorts Looks Promising This is a pullback trend trade anticipating trend continuation. Entry is based on LVN (low volume node) for entry. Also looking on the footprint chart there is a high volume node with -ve delta that was traded at 0.64715.
If the sellers return to defend that price then this pullback should give some strong rejection once we pierce the entry zone and send bulls packing.
TP1 - First swing low
TP2 - Value area low of the range, which also is in confluence with the ExoFade peak on the 1HR timeframe. ExoFade peaks always gets taken out in a strong trend, that's why i love using them as price targets for exits. ExoFade is free on Tradingview for those curious about it. Just search for it.
Fibonacci Retracement: The Hidden Key to Better EntriesIf you’ve ever wondered how professional traders predict where price might pull back before continuing... the secret lies in Fibonacci Retracement.
In this post, you’ll learn:
What Fibonacci retracement is
Why it works
How to use it on your charts (step-by-step)
Pro tips to increase accuracy in the market
🧠 What Is Fibonacci Retracement?:
Fibonacci Retracement is a technical analysis tool that helps traders identify potential support or resistance zones where price is likely to pause or reverse during a pullback.
It’s based on a mathematical sequence called the Fibonacci Sequence, found everywhere in nature — from galaxies to sunflowers — and yes, even in the markets.
The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, starting with 0 and 1. The sequence typically begins with 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, and so on. This pattern can be expressed as a formula: F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2), where F(n) is the nth Fibonacci number.
The key Fibonacci levels traders use are:
23.6%
38.2%
50%
61.8%
78.6%
These levels represent percentages of a previous price move, and they give us reference points for where price might pull back before resuming its trend and where we can anticipate price to move before showing support or resistance to the trend you are following.
💡Breakdown of Each Fib Level:
💎 0.236 (23.6%) – Shallow Pullback
What it indicates:
Weak retracement, often signals strong trend momentum.
Buyers/sellers are aggressively holding the trend.
Best action:
Aggressive entry zone for continuation traders.
Look for momentum signals (break of minor structure, bullish/bearish candles). Stay out of the market until you see more confirmation.
💎 0.382 (38.2%) – First Strong Area of Interest
What it indicates:
Healthy pullback in a trending market.
Seen as a key area for trend followers to step in.
Best action:
Look for entry confirmation: bullish/bearish engulfing, pin bars, Elliott Waves, or break/retest setups.
Ideal for setting up trend continuation trades.
Stop Loss 0.618 Level
💎 0.500 (50.0%) – Neutral Ground
What it indicates:
Often marks the midpoint of a significant price move.
Market is undecided, can go either way.
Best action:
Wait for additional confirmation before entering.
Combine with support/resistance or a confluence zone.
Useful for re-entry on strong trends with good risk/reward.
Stop Loss 1.1 Fib Levels
💎 0.618 (61.8%) – The “Golden Ratio”
What it indicates:
Deep pullback, often seen as the last line of defense before trend reversal.
High-probability area for big players to enter or add to positions.
Best action:
Look for strong reversal patterns (double bottoms/tops, engulfing candles).
Excellent area for entering swing trades with tight risk and high reward.
Use confluence (structure zones, moving averages, psychological levels, Elliott Waves).
Wait for close above or below depending on the momentum of the market.
Stop Loss 1.1 Fib Level
💎 0.786 (78.6%) – Deep Correction Zone
What it indicates:
Very deep retracement. Often a final “trap” zone before price reverses.
Risk of trend failure is higher.
Best action:
Only trade if there's strong reversal evidence.
Use smaller position size or avoid unless other confluences are aligned.
Can act as an entry for counter-trend trades in weaker markets.
Stop Loss around 1.1 and 1.2 Fib Levels
⏱️Best Timeframe to Use Fibs for Day Traders and Swing Traders:
Day trading:
Day traders, focused on capturing short-term price movements and making quick decisions within a single day, typically utilize shorter timeframes for Fibonacci retracement analysis, such as 15-minute through hourly charts.
They may also use tighter Fibonacci levels (like 23.6%, 38.2%, and 50%) to identify more frequent signals and exploit short-term fluctuations.
Combining Fibonacci levels with other indicators such as moving averages, RSI, or MACD, and focusing on shorter timeframes (e.g., 5-minute or 15-minute charts) can enhance signal confirmation for day traders.
However, relying on very short timeframes for Fibonacci can lead to less reliable retracement levels due to increased volatility and potential for false signals.
Swing trading:
Swing traders aim to capture intermediate trends, which necessitates giving trades more room to fluctuate over several days or weeks.
They typically prefer utilizing broader Fibonacci levels (like 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8%) to identify significant retracement points for entering and exiting trades.
Swing traders often focus on 4-hour and daily charts for their analysis, and may even consult weekly charts for a broader market perspective.
🎯 Why Does Fibonacci Work?:
Fibonacci levels work because of:
Mass psychology – many traders use them
Natural rhythm – markets move in waves, not straight lines
Institutional footprint – smart money often scales in around key retracement zones
It's not magic — it's structure, and it's surprisingly reliable when used correctly.
🛠 How to Draw Fibonacci Retracement (Step-by-Step):
Let’s say you want to trade XAU/USD (Gold), and price just had a strong bullish run.
✏️ Follow These Steps:
Identify the swing low (start of move)
Identify the swing high (end of move)
Use your Fibonacci tool to draw from low to high (for a bullish move)
The tool will automatically mark levels like 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, etc.
These levels act as pullback zones, and your job is to look for entry confirmation around them.
🔁 For bearish moves, draw from high to low. (I will show a bearish example later)
Now let’s throw some examples and pictures into play to get a better understanding.
📈 XAU/USD BULLISH Example:
1.First we Identify the direction of the market:
2.Now we set our fibs by looking for confirmations to get possible entry point:
Lets zoom in a bit:
Now that we have a break of the trendline we wait for confirmation and look for confluence:
Now we set our fibs from the last low to the last high:
This will act as our entry point for the trade.
3. Now we can look for our stop loss and take profit levels:
Stop Loss:
For the stop loss I like to use the fib levels 1.1 and 1.2 when I make an entry based upon the 0.618 level. These levels to me typically indicate that the trade idea is invalid once crossed because it will usually violate the prior confirmations
Take Profit:
For the take profit I like to use the Fib levels 0.236, 0, -0.27, and -0.618. This is based upon your personal risk tolerance and overall analysis. You can use 0.236 and 0 level as areas to take partial profits.
Re-Entry Point Using Elliott Waves as Confluence Example:
This is an example of how I used Elliott Waves to enter the trade again from the prior entry point. If you don’t know what Elliott Waves are I will link my other educational post so you can read up on it and have a better understanding my explanation to follow.
After seeing all of our prior confirmations I am now confident that our trend is still strongly bullish so I will mark my Waves and look for an entry point.
As we can see price dipped into the 0.38-0.5 Fib level and rejected it nicely which is also in confluence with the Elliott Wave Theory for the creation of wave 5 which is the last impulse leg before correction.
🔻 In a downtrend:
Same steps, but reverse the direction — draw from high to low and look to short the pullback.
XAU/USD Example:
As you can see the same basic principles applied for bearish movement as well.
⚠️ Pro Tips for Accuracy:
✅ Always use Fib in confluence with:
Market structure (higher highs/lows or lower highs/lows)
Key support/resistance zones
Volume or momentum indicators
Candle Patterns
Elliott Waves, etc.
❌ Don’t trade Fib levels blindly — they are zones, not guarantees.
📊 Use higher timeframes for cleaner levels (4H, Daily)
💡 Final Thought
Fibonacci retracement doesn’t predict the future — it reveals probability zones where price is likely to react.
When combined with structure and confirmation, it becomes one of the most reliable tools for new and experienced traders alike.

MACRO 3-Drive Pattern on Bitcoin | Major Reversal Ahead?Is Bitcoin completing a massive 3-drive structure on the macro chart?
Three clear pushes higher, each with fading momentum, are flashing a major reversal signal.
This could be the final phase before a long-term shift — are you ready for what’s next?
📚 3-Drive Structure Trading Strategy — Full Breakdown
The 3-Drive Pattern is a powerful reversal-based price structure used to spot major turning points in trending markets. It works by identifying three consecutive drives (or pushes) in one direction, typically ending with exhaustion and a high-probability reversal.
Each drive forms a new high or low, but with weakening momentum — especially visible using RSI, MACD, or volume divergence.
🔍 What is the 3-Drive Pattern?
3 consecutive higher highs (or lower lows)
Each drive followed by a shallow pullback
Momentum weakens on each push (divergence forms)
Fibonacci symmetry often present:
- Drive extensions: 127.2%–161.8%
- Pullbacks: usually 61.8%
📉 Bearish 3-Drive (Reversal from Uptrend):
Drive 1: Price makes a higher high with strong momentum
Drive 2: Another higher high, weaker strength
Drive 3: Final high with clear divergence
Reversal: Entry when price breaks below structure
🎯Entry Criteria:
Wait for all 3 drives to form
Confirm with divergence on Drive 3
Use a confirmation candle or structure break
Stop-loss: just beyond the 3rd drive’s high
🎯 Targets:
Conservative: Return to Drive 2 base
Aggressive: Full trend reversal (50%–100% Fib retracement)
🧠 Pro Tips:
Best on 4H, 1D, 3D or 1w timeframes
Confirm with RSI, MACD, or volume divergence
Combine with key S/R or supply-demand zones
💡 Summary:
The 3-Drive pattern is one of the most reliable reversal structures when combined with divergence and Fibonacci symmetry. It's especially powerful at market exhaustion zones and works best with confirmation-based entries.

Daily Outlook | XAUUSD June 30, 2025Hey traders,
Fresh week, clean structure. Let’s lock in the key levels and let price do the talking.
🌐 Macro Context
It’s a heavy week for USD – all major data drops before Friday:
Tuesday: ISM Manufacturing + Powell speaks
Wednesday: ADP Employment
Thursday: NFP, Unemployment Rate, ISM Services
Friday: US holiday – markets closed
📌 This means liquidity will build into Thursday, then fade. Expect gold to stay range-bound early in the week, unless momentum shifts hard today. Volatility should peak around NFP.
🧭 Daily Structure & Bias
Gold opened weak under 3287, still below 21EMA and 50EMA. The structure shows lower highs, bearish control, and no signs of strength reclaiming ground. RSI is at 42 — momentum down, but not oversold yet. Unless price breaks back above 3340, sellers stay in control.
✅ D1 Bias: Bearish while under 3340
📌 Key D1 Zones to Watch
🔺 D1 Breaker Block – 3340–3355
Former support, now clean resistance. Includes 50EMA and last failed closes. If price rejects again here, bearish continuation likely. A daily close above 3355 flips short bias.
🔺 D1 Supply + FVG – 3385–3405
Unmitigated imbalance from early June. If price pushes through 3355, this is the next upside magnet. Good spot for first reaction.
⚖️ D1 Decision Zone – 3287–3265
Current price zone. Multiple past reactions. A daily close below 3265 confirms breakdown. Holding above = more choppy range.
🟢 D1 Reaction Shelf – 3210–3180
Minor support zone from April candle bodies. Can slow price, but not strong enough for reversal on its own.
🟢 D1 Demand Block – 3155–3120
First major HTF demand. Includes 200EMA, strong structure, and previous breakout base. If price sells into it fast, watch for rejection — but only with confirmation.
🟢 D1 Macro Demand – 3090–3055
Final line of macro defense. Clean imbalance + demand from February. Valid only if sentiment breaks post-NFP.
✅ Final Summary
• Below 3265 = structure breaks → opens 3180
• 3155–3120 = real support zone
• Below 3120 = macro shift risk
• Reclaiming 3340 = short bias invalid
• Break above 3385 = continuation possible
📌 Today is all about the close. No confirmation = no trade. Thursday is the real trigger — be positioned, not exposed.
—
📣 If this gave you clarity and structure, drop a 🔥, share your bias, and follow GoldFxMinds for sniper plans with zero fluff — only clean, confirmed price action.
XAUUSD - High possibility of volatile market opening (20250616)Well, it is quite obvious we have a volatile geo-political crisis this weekend, so market may overreact once again to bring Gold to at least 3500 opening.
Looking at volume, though Gold is in uncharted territory and it can be move as high as 3550 - 3600, I rather play for a quick profit.
Hope later this Sunday, we can find some positive news that can at least hold the surge of Gold to minimum.
Trade safe, Trade wisely. Monday will be a very volatile opening.
USDJPY higher bullish for exepct
FX:USDJPY PA based analysis, price is bounce few times on bottom line of PA, last we have bullish push with short revers till zone 144.000, which taking here for sup zone from which expecting higher bullish continuation.
Technicalls are here same strong bullish for expect
SUP zone: 144.000
RES zone: 146.900
PYPL: Strong Resistance Zone in Play – Watch 73.34 for EntryNASDAQ:PYPL is showing a potential triple top formation near the 73 level. If price breaks above the 73.34 resistance , there's room to move toward 74.15 – a medium-term swing high.
💡 Trade idea: Enter 1 tick above 73.34, set your target and SL based on the 5-minute chart.
THE KOG REPORT THE KOG REPORT
In last week’s KOG Report we said we would be looking for price to attempt the high, fail and make the move downside. This worked well in the early part of the week giving traders a fantastic capture for the short trade into the red box target levels which were all complete. During the week we update trades with the plan to long, and although there was a break from the red box, our lower red box bounced price giving the long trade completing the move.
It was only towards the end of the week where we started ranging that we only managed to capture short scalps on the upside move before the suggesting we call it a day, thankfully before the small decline from the level.
So, what can we expect in the week ahead?
We have a key level here of 3310-6 which has been a previous pivot in this range and is holding price down at the moment. This now make a crucial support region forming at the 3280-5 level with extension of the move into 3275. If this level holds and the red box reacts, we can see price push up from here and attempt to target the 3400 level again, which is towards the top of the range.
It’s this lower red box that needs to be watched for the break, as a break here will target the 3250-55 region initially and then go for the potential swing low around the 3210-2- region which in this scenario maybe the ideal long trade.
As always, we’ll update traders through the week with our analysis and red box target levels but for now, let’s see if we gap on open. Please remember, the market gaps with intention, the intention is usually to get traders in chasing the gap as soon as they see immediate exhaustion, this hardly ever works on gold and BTC especially. We’ve back tested the stretch, so please play caution on chasing gaps.
More choppy and ranging price action expected!
KOG’s bias of the week:
Bullish above 3285 with targets above 3306, 3310, 3321 and 3335
Bearish below 3285 with targets below 3267, 3255 and 3240
RED BOXES:
Break above 3290 for 3297, 3306, 3310, 3320 and 3330 in extension of the move
Break below 3280 for 3277, 3270, 3267 and 3255 in extension of the move

Bitcoin's Breakout Fizzles: Is a Major Reversal in Play...?Bitcoin Technical Analysis – In-Depth Breakdown
Over the past two months, Bitcoin has exhibited a strong bullish trend, appreciating by approximately 51%. The sustained rally was primarily driven by bullish momentum, increased investor confidence, and broader market sentiment.
Recently, Bitcoin broke through its all-time high (ATH) of 106,500, surging to a new peak near 112,000. However, this breakout was short-lived as the price failed to sustain above this level, indicating significant profit-taking activity by traders and long-term holders. This inability to hold the ATH region highlights a potential liquidity pocket where sell orders accumulate, resulting in a rejection wick and a subsequent reversal.
From a Technical perspective:
The price has now fallen back below 106,500, turning this key level into a major resistance zone. Historically, once a strong resistance level (like an ATH) is breached and subsequently reclaimed, it often acts as a formidable barrier to upward price movement unless there’s renewed bullish momentum.
Additionally, Bitcoin has broken its ascending trendline (drawn from the lows of the uptrend) and has already retested this trendline from below. The retest was successful in confirming the breakdown, which further strengthens the bearish bias.
The price structure is now forming a potential lower high pattern near the 106,500 resistance. This could signal a shift in market sentiment from bullish continuation to consolidation or correction.
In terms of market psychology, the all-time high region represents a crucial psychological barrier. Traders and investors often exhibit heightened caution near such levels. Many choose to lock in profits due to fear of a double top or a false breakout. This behavior can create increased volatility, especially when combined with institutional and retail order flows.
Trading Strategy and Risk Management
Given the technical breakdown and the psychological factors at play:
✅ A short position can be considered, particularly around the 106,500 resistance, with confirmation from the trendline retest.
✅ However, exercise caution due to the high volatility typically observed near ATH levels. Whipsaws and fakeouts are common as both bulls and bears battle for control.
✅ Avoid high-leverage positions unless you have a strict stop-loss in place. Ideally, place the stop-loss just above the 106,500 - 107,000 zone, where a decisive breakout would invalidate the short setup.
✅ For profit targets, initial supports are seen around 100,000 - 98,000, and a deeper correction could test the 94,000 - 92,000 zone.
✅ Wait for clear confirmation, such as a strong bearish candle on the retest of the resistance, before entering the trade.
