GOLD → Correction to support. What's next?FX:XAUUSD updates a new high to 3357. A correction is forming after Powell's speech. On the background of the bullish trend it is worth looking for stronger support levels Gold halted gains at $3,358 as traders take profits and assess the implications of Trump's tariff policy.Gold's gains on the week were driven by the escalating trade war between the US and China, fears of a US recession and a flight from risk assets. However, cautious rhetoric from Fed chief Powell and positive signals from trade talks with Japan temporarily curbed further gains in gold. But the level of risks and possible escalation of the conflict is still at a high level. It is too early to talk about the trend change. At the moment the correction to liquidity zones is forming on the background of the bullish trend. The focus is on 3296, 0.5 fibo. The price may bounce from these levels. Resistance levels: 3344, 3457 Support levels: 3320, 3296, 3275 The correction after Powell's speech may be quickly exhausted if the politicians from China and the US fuel the conflict. But any hints of negotiations and tariff cuts could be taken very positively by the market, which could lead to a reversal of the local trend. Regards R. Linda!

Bitcoin can exit from triangle and drop to support levelHello traders, I want share with you my opinion about Bitcoin. The chart shows how the price previously made a strong decline, followed by a sharp rebound from the buyer zone between 77800 - 79000 points. This recovery formed a short-term uptrend, which led the price back into the seller zone, where bullish momentum slowed down. After testing resistance, BTC formed a wedge pattern that eventually broke to the downside, causing a new wave of correction. Following this drop, the market rebounded again from support and began forming a triangle pattern. The triangle developed inside the same larger resistance area that had already rejected price action before. The structure of the triangle shows lower highs with clear resistance along the 88500 level, reinforcing bearish pressure. Currently, BTC is trading near the apex of this triangle, and the price just bounced down again from resistance. This reaction suggests that the market is struggling to push higher and could be ready for a breakdown. Based on the triangle structure, the seller zone rejection, and the multiple failed attempts to break higher, I expect BTC to move downward toward the 80000 points, which I consider as TP1. The 79000 - 80000 area also coincides with the next major support and previous accumulation zone. Please share this idea with your friends and click Boost 🚀

GOLD → If you didn't catch the train, what should you do?FX:XAUUSD in a rally. Running into a train that is already in motion is prohibited due to the lack of ability to calculate risks. Ahead of the news, a correction is possible, which will allow us to find a place to trade Gold continues to update an all-time high on the back of expectations of retail sales in the US and the speech of Fed chief Powell. Price growth was supported by strong data from China, increased demand for “protective assets” due to geopolitical tensions and trade risks between the U.S. and China. Additional support was provided by forecasts of gold price growth from ANZ to $3,600 by the end of the year Technically, the psychological zones of interest 3325 - 3350 are ahead, from which a correction may form. The ideal scenario is to wait for a correction to local or intermediate support levels and only there look for an entry point. Resistance levels: 3318, 3335, 3350 Support levels: 3275, 3265, 3244 On the background of a strong bull market it is worth using as a productive strategy to trade on the breakdown of resistance in order to continue growth, but in this case we need to wait for consolidation, we do not have it. Or wait for correction, support retest and only then consider buying. Regards R. Linda!

NZDUSD → Is there a chance for continued growth?FX:NZDUSD within the framework of the rally, which is associated with a strong decline in the dollar, is exiting the ascending channel and testing the resistance at 0.5922. Against the backdrop of the falling dollar, which is associated with economic factors, the New Zealand has good chances to continue to grow. Consolidation of the currency pair above the level will indicate the readiness of the currency pair to continue to grow. But! Today is quite a day full of economic news. Traders are waiting for Core retail sales & retail sales, as well as Powell's speech at 17:15 UTC. High volatility is possible! Resistance levels: 0.5922, 0.6038 Support levels: 0.5853 A small correction may be formed from the resistance, but another retest and price consolidation above 0.5922 may be a good signal for both the bulls and us to make decisions. The currency pair has all chances to reach 0.6000 Regards R. Linda!

How Can You Use the Ascending Triangle in Trading?How Can You Use the Ascending Triangle in Trading? An ascending triangle is a chart pattern traders rely on to identify potential breakouts and further price movements. Recognised for its versatility, this pattern can signal trend continuations across all types of markets, including stocks, forex, commodities, and cryptocurrencies*. In this article, we’ll break down how to spot and trade this formation. What Is an Ascending Triangle? An ascending or rising triangle is a bullish chart pattern that usually signals a trend continuation. It is framed by two trendlines. The upper line connects highs placed at almost the same level, while the lower line is angled and connects higher lows. The triangle’s appearance is explained as follows: buyers try to push the price up, but they meet a strong resistance level, so the price rebounds. Still, buyers have strength, which is reflected in higher lows. Therefore, they continue pushing the price until it breaks above the resistance level. The period during which the price bounces back and forth between the two lines depends on the timeframe. On daily charts, the triangle can be in place for over a week. Note: The ascending triangle is a continuation chart pattern but sometimes it can be used as a reversal signal. It happens when the ascending triangle occurs in a downtrend. It’s the biggest challenge of all the triangles. The rising triangle is one of the setups in the triangle group. There are also descending and symmetrical formations. Ascending, Descending, and Symmetrical Triangles: The Differences The triangle group of patterns comprises ascending, descending, and symmetrical formations. The ascending triangle is a bullish formation and the descending triangle is bearish. At the same time, the symmetrical triangle is a bilateral setup that signals a rise and a fall in the price. To distinguish between them, traders draw trendlines. In a rising triangle pattern, an upper trendline is horizontal and connects equal or almost equal highs, while the lower trendline is rising as it connects higher lows. In a descending or falling triangle pattern, the lower trendline is horizontal and connects equal or almost equal lows, while the upper trendline declines, going through lower highs. A symmetrical triangle has a falling upper line that connects lower highs and a rising lower line that connects upper lows. How Traders Spot the Ascending Triangle It’s quite easy to identify the formation on a chart. Still, there are a few rules that may help a trader determine its strength. - The trend strength. Although the setup may appear on any timeframe, traders look for strong long-term trends as risks of a fakeout on low charts are higher. - Consolidation. Triangles appear when the market consolidates within an overall trend. - Trendlines. Trendlines must be drawn through at least two points. Still, the larger the number of points, the higher the possibility the setup works. - Breakout. Can the ascending triangle pattern be bearish? No. It is a bullish formation that appears in a bullish and a bearish trend but always signals a potential price rise. How Can You Trade Ascending Triangles? The rising triangle pattern is usually considered a continuation setup formed in an uptrend. Still, if the ascending triangle is in a downtrend, it may signal a trend reversal. The trading rules will be the same in both cases. As with most chart patterns, triangles have specific rules that help traders place entry and exit points. Entry The theory suggests trades go long when the price breaks above the setup's upper boundary. In a conservative approach, traders wait for the price to form at least several candles before entering the market. In a risky strategy, traders open a position as soon as the breakout occurs, and the breakout candlestick closes. It's worth considering trading volumes as breakouts often turn into fakeouts, meaning the market returns to its previous trend. The chance of a strong breakout is higher if the volumes are high. However, increased volumes aren't the only tool used to confirm a breakout. Many traders consider trend indicators and oscillators to potentially limit the risks of bad trading decisions. - If the triangle serves as a continuation setup, it may be helpful to look at the signals of trend-strength indicators, including the average directional index. - If traders use the ascending triangle as a reversal setup, they usually implement indicators that may signal a trend reversal, including the moving average, the relative strength index, the moving average convergence divergence, and the stochastic oscillator. Take Profit A standard take-profit target equals the size of the largest part of the setup and is measured just from the breakout trendline. Stop Loss Traders consider several options when placing stop-loss levels. In a conservative approach, they implement the risk/reward ratio, which is usually 1:2 or 1:3 but depends on the trader's willingness to take risks. Also, traders utilise the upper trendline as a threshold and place the stop-loss order just under it. Note: These are general rules. However, traders can develop their own trading strategies and adjust the pattern's parameters and rules according to their trading approach. Ascending Triangle: Strategy In this strategy, traders observe an existing bullish trend and the formation of an ascending triangle, which suggests the potential for a continuation pattern. Incorporating a short-term moving average, such as a 9-period EMA, provides dynamic support, aligning with the trendline to strengthen the setup. Entries - Traders typically wait for the price to break through the top trendline of the ascending triangle. - A strong candle breaking the resistance level adds confidence, though any move above the top trendline can serve as an entry signal. - The price should also trade above the moving average, offering additional confirmation. - An order is often placed at the top trendline, anticipating a retracement to this level, which now acts as support. Stop Loss - Traders place a stop-loss below the most recent swing low within the triangle. - For more conservative traders, the stop may be set at any prior swing low, depending on risk tolerance. Take Profit - Many traders aim for a risk-reward ratio of 1:2 or 1:3. - Profits might also be taken at the next strong resistance level, aligning with the market structure. Rising Triangle: Benefits and Drawbacks This formation has advantages and pitfalls that traders consider when developing their strategies. Benefits - It can be used on any timeframe. Triangles are formed on charts of any period. Still, they might be more effective if the setup appears in a solid trend on a high timeframe. - It can be used for any asset. Another advantage is that the ascending triangle pattern is used for stock, commodity, cryptocurrency*, and Forex trading. - Easy to spot. A trader only needs to draw two trendlines to define this setup on the chart. - Exact entry and exit points. Although traders can develop their entry and exit points, the setup assumes there are specific rules traders with any experience utilise. Drawbacks - It can confuse traders. As the rising triangle is used as a reversal and continuation formation, traders with less experience may be confused with its signals. - False breakouts. The setup works when a price breakout occurs. However, there is a high risk the breakout will appear to be a fakeout, and the price will return. - The pattern may fail. Aside from a fakeout, there is another risk when trading with triangles. The price may break another side of the formation, and the formation will fail. - The trading rules may not work. Although specific rules indicate where a trader should place entry and exit points, buyers may be too weak to push the price to the take-profit target. Final Thoughts The ascending triangle is one of the more common chart patterns traders use when trading various assets. Still, there is no 100% guarantee that it will work every time you spot it on a price chart. It's vital to remember that every signal must be confirmed with other indicators, chart patterns, and candlesticks. Also, it's a well-known fact that any trade involves risks that should be considered every time a trader enters the market. Improve your skills by practising on different assets and timeframes. FAQ How Do You Form an Ascending Triangle? An ascending triangle is formed when the price action creates a series of higher lows while facing a resistance level, resulting in a horizontal upper trendline and a rising lower trendline. The price consolidates between these two lines before potentially breaking out above the resistance, signalling a bullish continuation. Is an Ascending Triangle Bullish or Bearish? The ascending triangle is a bullish pattern. It suggests that buyers are gaining strength as higher lows form, increasing the likelihood of a breakout above the resistance level. There is a descending triangle pattern that usually appears in a downtrend, signalling a downward movement. How to Enter an Ascending Triangle? According to the theory, in triangle pattern trading, it’s common to enter the market when the price breaks above the upper trendline of the triangle. In a conservative approach, traders wait for confirmation through several closing candles after the breakout. The increased volume also adds confidence to the trade. What Is the Ascending Triangle Pattern Retest? A retest occurs when the price breaks out of the triangle but then briefly falls back to test the former resistance level. A successful retest confirms the breakout and can provide an additional entry point. How Long Does an Ascending Triangle Pattern Take to Form? The formation of a bullish triangle pattern can vary based on the timeframe. On daily charts, it can take several days to weeks, while on shorter timeframes, it might form within hours. What Is the Difference Between an Ascending Triangle and a Rising Wedge? In comparing the ascending triangle vs. the rising wedge, it’s key to recognise that the rising wedge has converging trendlines, signalling a possible weakening trend, often leading to a bearish reversal. In contrast, an ascending triangle trading pattern typically signals a continuation of the uptrend. *At FXOpen UK, Cryptocurrency CFDs are only available for trading by those clients categorised as Professional clients under FCA Rules.

GOLD → Price is consolidating, but to what end? Growth?FX:XAUUSD continues on its way as part of a strong rally. Price is testing strong resistance and there is a good chance of a new high as the trade war escalation intensifies. Against the backdrop of the bull run, there is no need to think about selling! Gold is trading near all-time highs above $3,200 on Friday, posting a weekly gain of about 5.5%. Rising prices are fueled by concerns over U.S. financial stability and the possible resignation of the Fed chief, adding to pressure on the dollar. Expectations of recession and Fed rate cuts are increasing amid escalating trade war with China, after the US imposed tariffs of 145% and Beijing retaliated - China raised tariffs to 125%. Inflation in March came in below expectations, reinforcing forecasts for a rate cut. Focus is on further trade talks and China's response Resistance levels: 3219.5 Support levels: 3197, 3187, 3167 Emphasis on the local range: 3219 - 3187. Breakdown and price consolidation above the resistance will provoke rally continuation. But I do not rule out a correction to accumulate energy before the continuation of growth. In this case gold may test 3197 (0.7f), or support of 3187 range. But we should be aware of the fact of unpredictability: If the US and China sit down for negotiations, the situation may change dramatically. Regards R. Linda!

GOLD - Price can bounce down from resistance line of triangleHi guys, this is my overview for XAUUSD, feel free to check it and write your feedback in comments👊 Some time ago, the price moved inside a rising channel, steadily growing and forming higher highs on the chart. Then Gold touched the upper boundary, made a reversal, and exited from the channel with a sharp impulse. After that, the price reached $2970 support level and bounced, forming a triangle pattern with a narrowing range. Recently, it made a breakout above $3095 zone but quickly faced resistance at the upper line of triangle. Now, Gold trades inside triangle structure and shows weakness near resistance area without strong breakout. In my opinion, Gold can decline and reach $3015 support line of triangle during the next corrective wave. If this post is useful to you, you can support me with like/boost and advice in comments❤️

Learn These Patterns And You'll Never Regret ItEVERYTHING ON THE TRIANGLE PATTERN a triangle chart pattern involves price moving into a tighter and tighter range (like a consolidation phase which has a triangle-like shape) as time goes by and provides a visual display of a battle between bulls and bears. The triangle pattern is generally categorised as a “continuation pattern”, meaning that after the pattern completes,  it’s assumed that the price will continue in the trend direction it was moving before the pattern appeared. note: the triangle pattern depends on the trend however don't hold on to that thought since fake-outs are possible. the point i am trying to make is that you should not be obsessed with which direction the price goes, but you should be ready for movement in either direction. there are three triangle patterns: a) the ascending (upward slope consisting of higher-lows and a consistent resistance), b) descending (downward slope consisting of lower-highs and a consistent support) c) symmetrical (equal slopes the market is forming lower-highs and higher-lows).. the triangle is different from a wedge. however, a wedge can be in a triangle or better put the general formation of a wedge is a triangle-like shape (in some cases). point to note: • you need at least two points (bullish or bearish) to connect for a triangle to be considered, and a consistent support or resistance. • the volatility of price of any instrument decreases when there's a triangle pattern and increases on breakout of the pattern. • measuring the size of the triangle can serve as a good profit target (will explain in meeting) • keep an open mind at all times. 📝..

GOLD → Global economic risk indicator consolidates ahead of CPIFX:XAUUSD , rather quickly changes the market structure to bullish and continues its aggressive rally. The economic risk indicator is working perfectly. Technically, the focus is on the range 3135 - 3099 Gold is consolidating around $3,100 in anticipation of US inflation data. The escalating trade war between the US and China keeps demand for defensive assets alive despite the pause in price gains. Trump imposed 125% tariffs on Chinese goods and China retaliated with duties of 84% on U.S. imports. Increased tariff tensions are raising recession expectations and encouraging bets on a Fed interest rate cut, which supports gold. However, a rise in March CPI inflation (expected 2.6% y/y) could trigger a downward correction, although the impact could be short-lived - tariff news remains the main driver Technically, the price failed to reach the 3135 liquidity zone and reversed, which attracted the crowd willing to sell (deceptive maneuver). But, after correction the price may return to the target quite quickly Resistance levels: 3135, 3167 Support levels: 3100, 3090, 3077 Emphasis on the range boundaries, possible retest of 3100-3090- 3075 before continuation of growth. On the news or before the opening of the American session there may be a long squeeze before the continuation of growth. Regards R. Linda!

DOGE → Will the market hold strength or lose it all?BINANCE:DOGEUSDT is testing the liquidity and resistance zone amid a downtrend as part of a news-induced rally. Will the market hold this trend or return to a sell-off? The downtrend continues. As part of the correction triggered by the news backdrop, bitcoin strengthened and pulled the altcoins with it. But the market may lose all its growth quite quickly, as bearish pressure on the market is still very strong (There are no fundamental positive changes for the market). The fall of BTC may be followed by DOGE as well. Technically, the price is forming a false break of the resistance zone 0.1622 - 0.15700, consolidation of the price below this zone will provoke the continuation of the fall to the nearest zone of interest 0.13646. Resistance levels: 0.157, -0.1622 Support levels: 0.13646, 0.1277, 0.1154 A retest of the trend resistance is possible, but price consolidation below the key zone will be a good signal indicating the seller's strength, the decline may continue. On the weekly timeframe we have a trigger at 0.14217, break of which will open the way to 0.1277 - 0.1025. Regards R. Linda!
