XAU / USD 1 Hour ChartHello traders. My bad for not posting this morning, got sidetracked. We had some JOLTS news today, and tomorrow we have potential rate cuts when the Fed speaks here in the US. Saying that, the one hour chart is marked with my area of interest. Volume is dying down, so for me, I am just watching. Watching to see if we reject or push up a bit more. Patience is key. Big G gets a shout out. Wishing everyone a great day. Tomorrow is the day i will be looking for a potential trade if I can time it. Let's see how things play out. Be well and trade the trend.
Reversal SetupThe chart shows XAUUSD price action moving between a clearly defined Resistance Zone (around 4195–4200) and a Support Zone (around 4182–4185).
Price has recently fallen into the Support Zone, where buyers have previously reacted strongly.
The blue curved arrow indicates a potential bullish reversal, expecting the price to bounce from the support area and move back toward the Resistance Zone above.
This setup highlights a range-bound market, where traders look for buying opportunities near support and selling pressure at resistance

Gold ahead of FED decisionGold has completed a Wave 4 triangle and has now broken out decisively, confirming the start of Wave 5. After the breakout, price action has formed a rectangle consolidation, which reflects investor indecision, understandable ahead of tomorrow’s Fed rate decision.
If the Fed cuts rates, gold would likely rally, with Wave 5 breaking out of the rectangle and pushing toward the upper boundary of the rising purple channel, which comes in around $4,500.
If the Fed does not cut, we could see a deeper correction, potentially pulling gold back toward the $3,800 level, a major historical support.
XAUUSD – Strong Intraday Rebound as Price Reclaims Key LevelsGold shows a sharp intraday recovery on both the 15m and 5m charts after reclaiming the $4,200–$4,202 zone, flipping it back into support. Buyers stepped in aggressively, pushing price above short-term EMAs and challenging the 200-EMA on the 15m chart.
🔹 Key Technical Highlights
Strong bullish volume spike confirms a momentum shift.
Price has broken above intraday resistance and is stabilizing above $4,202.
On the 5m chart, price reclaimed VWAP and continues forming higher highs.
As long as Gold stays above $4,198–$4,202, bullish continuation remains favored.
🔸 Levels to Watch
Support: $4,198 / $4,202
Resistance: $4,210 → $4,218
📌 Bias: Bullish Above $4,202
Momentum favors buyers with potential for further upside if the structure holds.
Gold Trade Plan 09/12/2025📌 XAUUSD – Gold Analysis (4H)
Gold is still moving inside a short-term range, with price fluctuating between two key levels:
Resistance: 4,265 – 4,285
Support: 4,155 – 4,175
Price has tested the resistance zone several times, and each time it has reacted with a strong rejection and a sharp decline. This indicates that the resistance area remains highly valid, and a major fundamental catalyst may be needed for a clean breakout to the upside.
At the moment, the market structure is sideways, and entering trades within this zone may carry higher risk.
My main expectation is that once price breaks out of this consolidation box, the next major direction will be clearer.
🔎 Scenarios:
If price breaks above resistance: A bullish continuation toward higher highs becomes possible.
If price breaks below support: A deeper correction and further downside movement are likely.
As long as price remains inside this range, the best approach is to wait for a confirmed breakout from either side.
Regards,
Alireza!
Premium Rejects. Discount Reacts. GOLD Obeys.TVC:GOLD continues to respect the same liquidity structure I mapped in last week’s analysis.
The 4,240 to 4,250 premium zone rejected perfectly again, triggering a clean redistribution and sending price back toward discount arrays.
My OG Indicators reacted flawlessly:
* 🔻 Sold off directly from the premium Trend Zone
* ⚡ FlowMaster showed exhaustion at the HH sweep
* 🎯 ScalpMaster printed early reversal signals
* 📉 TrendMaster acted as dynamic 1H resistance
The roadmap played out almost point to point.
⏳ 1H Short Term View
Structure still leans bearish while price stays under the premium band.
* 🐼 Bears remain in control below 4,210
* 🎯 Short targets: 4,196 → 4,188 → 4,175
* ❌ Invalidation: reclaim of 4,225 to 4,230
Discount arrays near 4,180 are attracting buyers, but we still need clean confirmation for a stronger bounce.
📆 1D Mid Term View
Macro structure stays bullish as long as the 4,100 to 4,020 demand zone holds.
This zone continues to absorb sell-side liquidity and maintain the upward structure.
* 🟢 Bulls remain in control above 4,100
* 🎯 Mid term targets: 4,265 → 4,300 → 4,335
* ⚠️ Breakdown zone: 4,100 → 4,020
Momentum cooled off, but the higher timeframe trend is still intact.
📌 Summary
Short term weakness continues, mid term support remains solid.
Premium zones keep giving clean sells, discount zones keep giving clean reactions, exactly how the OG Zones and Indicators mapped it.
The market is rotating smoothly inside the levels and offering controlled, high probability setups.

GOLD ANALYSIS What’s Moving the Market Today? December 09, 2025FX:XAUUSD GOLD ANALYSIS What’s Moving the Market Today? (December 09, 2025)
Welcome back to Trade with DECRYPTERS, where we decode smart-money footprints into clean, actionable buy & sell zones.
Keep it simple. Trust the levels. Follow the plan.
📰 Market Overview
Gold continues to consolidate near the mid-range after reacting from discount levels early in the week. Price is rotating upward inside the 4180–4210 structure while heading toward premium liquidity pockets. Despite slight USD strength, gold remains supported by dovish Fed expectations, geopolitical uncertainty, and persistent central bank accumulation.
The U.S. Dollar Index remains capped below major resistance, helping gold hold its bullish tone. Treasury yields have stabilized, creating a favorable environment for non yielding assets ahead of the December 9–10 FOMC meeting, where volatility is expected.
Smart money continues its rhythm: accumulate at discount → distribute at premium, keeping the broader trend bullish.
🔍 Key Fundamentals Driving Today’s Move
📈 87–90% probability of a December Fed rate cut
→ Lower interest rates strengthen gold’s macro bullish case.
💵 USD softening after weak labor momentum
→ Supports continued upside rotation.
🌍 Geopolitical tensions (US–China + Middle East)
→ Sustains safe-haven demand.
🏦 China extends its gold-buying streak to 13 months
→ Reinforces structural demand narrative.
📊 Bond market volatility cooling
→ Keeps dips shallow and encourages trend continuation.
Gold’s strength remains driven by macro uncertainty + institutional hedging + global de-dollarization.
📰 Insights From Key Sources
“Markets pricing ~88% probability of a 25bp cut in December.”
“Fed officials hint easing will be gradual through 2026.”
Commentary highlights renewed discussions around U.S. debt-driven gold revaluation risks.
BRICS gold-backed settlement talks gaining real traction.
ETF inflows hit their strongest levels in 18 months.
US–China tariff tensions continue boosting safe-haven flows.
Global miners report supply strain and rising exploration costs.
Narrative remains unified: smart money stays net-long, macro stays supportive, dips remain opportunities.
📆 KEY EVENTS TO WATCH
🔸 JOLTS Job Data (Today — 3:00 PM UK)
Weak data → boosts rate-cut expectations → bullish for gold
Strong data → temporary spikes into sell zones → liquidity grabs likely
🔸 Geopolitical Rotations
🌍 Escalation → spikes toward premium zones
🌤️ Calm → controlled dips into discount levels
Trend holds bullish unless deep structure breaks below the buy zone.
🟩 GOLD TECHNICAL LEVELS
Gold continues to rotate efficiently between Smart Money Sell Zones → Discount Buy Zones, perfectly respecting institutional footprints.
Price is currently positioned inside the mid-range, moving between scalp opportunities and major zones.
🟩 📌 SMART MONEY BUY ORDERS: 4149 – 4163
Primary institutional demand zone deep discount liquidity.
Expect:
✔ Strong first-tap reaction
✔ Accumulation wicks & mitigation plays
✔ Higher-low formation for continuation
Break below 4149 → opens drawdown toward 4125 → 4100 liquidity.
🔺 📌 SMART MONEY SELL AREA: 4235 – 4251
Major premium sell zone — high-probability reversal region.
Expect:
✔ Manipulation above prior highs
✔ Liquidity grabs
✔ Swing short setups
Break & hold above 4251 targets:
➡ 4268 → 4284 → 4308
📌 Conclusion
Gold remains firmly bullish as long as the 4149–4163 demand zone holds, with smart money continuing to accumulate every dip. With JOLTS and FOMC approaching, expect controlled volatility before the real move unfolds. Stay focused on the key zones and let structure guide your execution.

XAU/USD Price Outlook – Trade Setup📊 Technical Structure
OANDA:XAUUSD XAU/USD continues to fluctuate around the $4,190–$4,200 zone, holding above the key $4,147–$4,165 support area while repeatedly failing to break above the $4,250–$4,268 resistance zone. Recent price action shows a broad consolidation structure, with the metal rejecting the highs but finding persistent buying interest near support.
The overall structure still leans toward an upward bias inside a wider range. As long as Gold holds above $4,147, the downside remains limited and the market may attempt another move toward the upper boundary. A deeper pullback toward the support zone could offer fresh long opportunities before any retest of the resistance band. A confirmed 1H/4H close below $4,147 would invalidate this bullish scenario and indicate a potential shift in momentum.
🎯 Trade Setup
Bias: Buy on dips near the support zone.
Entry: $4,163 – $4,147
Stop Loss: $4,140
Take Profit 1: $4,250
Take Profit 2: $4,268
R:R Ratio: ~1 : 3.62
As long as price stays above the $4,163–$4,147 area, the bullish dip-buy setup remains valid. A clean 1H/4H close below $4,140 invalidates the idea and suggests reassessment.
🌐 Macro Background (Simplified)
Markets widely expect the Federal Reserve to cut rates by 25 bps this Wednesday, with FedWatch probability near 90%. This normally supports Gold because lower rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding a non-yielding asset.
However, traders are increasingly worried about a “hawkish cut” — the Fed cuts once, but signals fewer or slower cuts ahead through its dot-plot and Powell’s press conference. If this happens, the USD could firm up, limiting upside for Gold in the short term.
Before the Fed meeting, the market will watch the ADP four-week average and the JOLTS Job Openings data. Weak numbers would reinforce the case for continued easing and help Gold stabilise; stronger data may briefly pressure Gold lower. Meanwhile, rising geopolitical tension — especially renewed friction between the US and Ukraine — keeps a layer of safe-haven demand in place, helping to cushion Gold on dips.
🔑 Key Technical Levels
Resistance Zone: $4,250 – $4,268
Support Zone: $4,163 – $4,147
Invalidation Level: $4,140 (1H/4H close below)
📌 Trade Summary
XAU/USD remains range-bound ahead of the Fed meeting, holding above key support and below major resistance. The structure favours buying dips near support for a potential move toward $4,250–$4,268. A confirmed break below $4,140 invalidates the bullish outlook and calls for reassessment.

The Real Reason Retail Traders LoseA clean explanation for new traders who want to stop trading noise.
Most beginners don’t fail because “trading is hard.”
They fail because they learn the wrong approach from day one.
This idea shows the exact difference between how beginners analyze charts versus how professionals read the market — using your before/after chart as the visual proof.
## 1. Beginner Charts Are Full of Noise
Look at the left chart.
This is how most beginners trade:
Dozens of trendlines
Patterns inside patterns
RSI, MACD, EMAs
Subjective S/R levels
Arrows predicting future price
No liquidity analysis
No volume logic
No defined invalidation
Beginners draw more than they analyze.
The result?
❌ Conflicting signals
❌ Emotional entries
❌ No understanding of why price should move
❌ Random predictions instead of structured planning
A chart filled with drawings creates a false feeling of analysis — but provides no edge.
## 2. Indicators Don’t Predict Price
Retail traders rely on:
RSI
MACD
Stochastics
EMA crossovers
These indicators offer comfort, but:
They lag
They contradict each other
They ignore liquidity
They cannot explain market context
Indicators summarize the past.
They do not anticipate institutional behavior.
## 3. Signal Providers Don’t Trade Their Own Signals
Most retail signal providers earn from subscriptions, not trading.
This is why:
Their entries are late
There is no SL or risk plan
They hide losses
They copy signals
They rarely show real executions
If someone cannot explain the reasoning behind a trade, they likely didn’t trade it themselves.
Follower count means nothing.
## 4. What Professionals Actually Look At
Now look at the right chart.
A professional chart is clean and focused:
VWAP (fair value)
Anchored Volume Profile
Liquidity zones
Imbalance/efficiency areas
Defined invalidation (SL)
Logical target (TP)
No noise
No predictions — just context
Professionals don’t trade drawings.
They trade volume, value, and liquidity.
Price does not move because of trendlines or patterns.
Price moves because of where liquidity sits.
## 5. Evaluate Any Trader’s Idea Before Following Them
Before trusting a trader or a signal:
Ask:
Do they use volume and liquidity?
Do they define invalidation?
Is their chart clean or full of noise?
Do they explain the trade logic?
Does the idea make sense if you remove the drawings?
You can even paste their idea into ChatGPT to test the logic.
If the idea collapses under simple questioning, it was never a valid setup.
## 6. How to Stop Losing Money
A simple framework that works:
✓ Use VWAP and Volume Profile
Understand where value and liquidity sit.
✓ Keep your chart clean
Noise = bad decisions.
✓ Define SL and TP before entry
Not after.
✓ Avoid prediction arrows
Trade reactions, not guesses.
✓ Ignore follower counts
Marketing ≠ skill.
✓ Skip any trade you don’t understand
Simplicity is strength.
## Final Message
Most beginners lose because they trade what they see on the chart.
Professionals win because they trade what moves the chart:
liquidity, volume, value, and structure.
If you stop chasing noise and start studying how price delivers liquidity, you will already be far ahead of most traders.
XAU/USD – Major Resistance Test With Potential Bearish ContinuatXAU/USD is approaching a major resistance area near 4260, where price has previously shown strong rejection. The recent rising channels on the chart indicate short-term bullish attempts, but each move has been followed by a corrective decline, showing weakening momentum.
If the market fails to hold above the nearby structure, a move toward the 4167 support zone may develop. A clear break below this level could signal a stronger bearish continuation toward lower liquidity levels.
For now, price remains between resistance pressure above and structural support below, making these two zones important for the next directional move.
Key Levels to Watch:
Resistance: 4260
Support: 4167
Bias: Bearish if support breaks, neutral while price ranges
Report 8/12/25Report summary:
The starting point for this week is the divergence between mood and activity. U.S. consumer sentiment has slumped back toward post-pandemic lows on prices, jobs anxiety, and tariff noise, even as spending holds up into the holidays. The University of Michigan index hovered a little above 53 in early December, far below the 70+ reading that opened the year, highlighting a fragile confidence backdrop even as retailers point to a “solid” season. Equities nonetheless ended last week higher (Dow +0.5%, Nasdaq +0.9%), the 10-year Treasury yield sits near 4.14%, WTI crude rebounded to ~$60, and the euro and yen printed ~$1.1645 and ¥155.37 respectively. That mix, weak sentiment, resilient demand, easier oil, and lower long rates, continues to anchor a “softish landing” narrative, but it’s thin ice: consumers are still looking backward at higher price levels and forward at potential job softness.
The policy tape is unusually consequential for markets this week. First, the Supreme Court will hear a case that could sharply expand the president’s power to dismiss members of independent agencies (e.g., FTC, NRC, CPSC). If the Court embraces robust unitary-executive control, rulemaking could become faster, more pro-cyclical, and more reversable across administrations, altering the risk premia investors assign to regulated industries (tech platforms, healthcare, energy, financials). The immediate equity read-through is mixed: reduced enforcement overhangs can lift mega-cap tech multiples, while the prospect of swifter, less predictable rule swings can raise the policy-volatility discount for rate-sensitive defensives and utilities. Fixed income should read such a ruling as modestly risk-on (tighter credit spreads) but with a fatter “policy tail-risk” skew embedded in option-implied vol around major agency actions.
Second, industrial policy is re-accelerating through U.S.–Japan channels. SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son is working with the administration on “Trump Industrial Parks” on federal land to manufacture AI-infrastructure components, fiber, data-center gear, and eventually AI chips, leveraging billions in Japanese trade-deal funding, with facilities ultimately federally owned. If even a fraction of this blueprint executes, it points to a multi-year capex wave in chips, advanced packaging, power, and logistics, in turn raising structural demand for electricity, specialized real estate, and high-end manufacturing labor. It also strengthens the case that the next U.S. investment cycle remains AI-led even if consumer momentum ebbs. For markets, that mix supports AI supply chains (semis, equipment, power gear, data-center REITs) and favors “quality growth” balance sheets over highly levered cyclicals.
Third, the domestic cost-of-living politics are hardening. The White House has shifted communications to price relief, set up a task force to probe potential food-industry anticompetitive behavior, and is weighing how to handle ACA premium subsidies that lapse absent a deal, now entangled with abortion-coverage language demanded by anti-abortion groups. If subsidies expire, premiums for ~20 million enrollees would jump, risking a first-quarter hit to discretionary spending. If extended with tighter abortion language, expect litigation risk and state-level friction. The “base case” still leans to some stop-gap extension to avoid an insurance-price shock ahead of midterms, but the path is messy and could widen dispersion between staples and discretionary equities in Q1.
Internationally, two threads matter for macro beta. First, China’s growth is increasingly “beggar-thy-neighbor” as exports surge while imports flatline; research summarized this week argues that faster Chinese growth now subtracts a bit from the rest of the world by displacing manufacturing elsewhere. That dynamic helps suppress traded-goods inflation but pressures industrial PMIs in Europe and East Asia, and it intensifies the tariff/quotas spiral (notably in autos and green tech). Second, Russia’s AI ecosystem continues to lag badly due to sanctions and component scarcity, another sign that frontier compute leadership, and the returns that come with it, remain clustered in the U.S., parts of Europe, and the Gulf/Asia capital nexus. Both threads reinforce the medium-term bull case for non-Chinese AI infrastructure and for targeted Western industrial policy, supportive for risk assets tied to compute, power, and logistics, less so for globally exposed old-economy manufacturing.
The security tape adds a modest safe-haven premium rather than a full risk-off impulse. Pentagon controversy around a lethal follow-up strike in the Caribbean, renewed Thai-Cambodian border clashes, and Chinese aircraft locking radar on Japanese jets near Okinawa raise headline risk without, so far, impairing shipping or energy flows. Markets will price these as optionable tail risks: a small positive carry for gold and the dollar on geopolitics, but still secondary to rates and growth.
Asset-by-asset implications
XAUUSD (Gold). With the 10-year near ~4.14% and inflation expectations easing, real yields remain the primary headwind. Countervailing supports are (i) softer oil near $60 easing stagflation fears, which paradoxically narrows the “Fed put” and keeps cuts cautious, and (ii) legal and foreign-policy noise. Net-net, gold holds a bid as a geopolitical hedge, but without a decisive real-rate leg lower, rallies should be faded into strength. Tactical range bias: buy dips toward prior supports on policy headlines; fade spikes absent a clear catalyst such as a dovish shift in rate-path pricing.
S&P 500 / Dow Jones. AI capex visibility (industrial parks, M&A interest such as IBM–Confluent talks), firmer ad-spend forecasts, and stable oil support margins and 2026 EPS trajectories for quality growth and communication services. The Supreme Court case could reduce medium-term antitrust/regulatory overhangs for mega-caps but adds policy-regime volatility to regulated verticals. With the Dow up 0.5% last week and oil contained, dips on consumer-sentiment headlines should find buyers in compute, power gear, software-infrastructure, and logistics automation; be selective in rate-sensitive defensives that face policy recalibration risk.
USDJPY. The pair around ~155 reflects the still-wide U.S.–Japan rate differential. Washington’s industrial buildout and steady U.S. demand argue for a firm dollar into year-end, but any meaningful downtick in U.S. yields or increased MoF rhetoric could trigger sharp yen short-covering. Maintain respect for intervention risk above the mid-150s; downside USDJPY shocks likely come from softer U.S. data or a global risk-off that lifts haven JPY.
DXY (U.S. Dollar Index). With the euro near $1.1645 and oil subdued, the dollar’s broad tone is stable-firm on relative U.S. growth and AI-led capex. A subsidy lapse that crimps Q1 consumption would be dollar-mixed (growth negative, but “risk-off” supportive). Watch CPI/PPI and any subsidy headline this week for a push-pull between cyclical softness and safe-haven bids.
Crude Oil. WTI around ~$60 suggests markets are leaning into adequate supply and cyclically “ok but not hot” demand. U.S. industrial policy does raise medium-term energy demand via data-center electricity needs, but that is a slope, not a step-function in 2026. Near-term, oil trades the growth tape and any supply disruption; absent a shipping or Mideast shock, range-bound with a slight downside skew if consumer data worsens.
Strategic forecast
Baseline into Q1–Q2 2026 is a slow-growth, disinflationary glide with episodic policy shocks. The consumer keeps spending but rotates down the price curve; corporate America keeps investing in compute and automation; oil stays manageable; rates drift lower but remain restrictive in real terms. Supreme Court action that expands presidential control of agencies tilts outcomes toward faster policy swings; that argues for higher relative valuations for firms with low regulatory sensitivity and robust pricing power, and for maintaining optionality (calls on quality growth; puts on policy-exposed defensives).
Fiscal & political implications
Failure to extend ACA subsidies would mechanically raise 2026 insurance premiums, with the heaviest drag in lower-income cohorts; any extension with new abortion-coverage limits would ignite fresh legal disputes and headline risk. The White House’s price-messaging shift and food-sector probe show the political centrality of grocery inflation. Meanwhile, the U.S.–Japan industrial-parks initiative, if funded and permitted, would channel foreign public capital into U.S. federal-land manufacturing, an unusual ownership structure that could accelerate timelines but draw scrutiny over returns, labor standards, and siting.
Risks
Key risks include a policy-regime break from the Court, subsidy lapse hitting Q1 consumption, trade-war ricochets as partners react to U.S. tariffs, and geopolitical miscalculation in East Asia or the Caribbean that shifts risk premia. On the upside, any durable fall in real yields or a broader détente on tariffs would expand equity multiples and steepen the global capex curve.
Actionable takeaways
Hold a barbell: quality AI-infrastructure beneficiaries and power grid names on one side, cash-flow compounders with low regulatory sensitivity on the other. Stay tactically long the dollar and short duration versus JPY until U.S. data convincingly slows. Keep a small gold hedge for tail risks given the legal-policy and East Asia headlines. For crude, favor selling rallies into the low-to-mid-$60s unless supply risk materializes.
Gold Price Outlook – Trade Setup (XAU/USD)📊 Technical Structure
TVC:GOLD Gold continues to trade steadily above the $4,163–$4,147 support zone, holding within a broader consolidation while respecting the mid-term bullish structure. Price has repeatedly rejected the support band, showing that buyers are still defending the lower boundary. On the topside, the $4,251–$4,268 resistance zone remains the key ceiling—this is where sellers have consistently stepped in.
The current 4H structure shows a potential pullback into support before buyers attempt another run toward the resistance zone. As long as gold holds above $4,163, the bullish bias remains intact. A clean break below this level would flip the structure bearish and expose
deeper downside.
🎯 Trade Setup
Idea: Buy from support, targeting a retest of the resistance zone.
Entry: $4,163 – $4,147
Stop Loss: $4,138
Take Profit 1: $4,251
Take Profit 2: $4,268
Risk–Reward Ratio: ≈ 1 : 3.45
Bias stays bullish as long as price holds above the support zone. A 4H close below $4,138 invalidates this upside scenario.
🌐 Macro Background (Simple Version)
Markets broadly expect the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates this Wednesday, with traders pricing in almost a 90% probability of a 25 bps cut. Lower interest rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding gold, so rate-cut expectations naturally support the metal.
At the same time, China continues increasing its gold reserves, marking a 13-month buying streak. This steady central-bank demand adds an extra layer of support beneath gold prices.
U.S. data, such as the stronger-than-expected University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index (53.3), briefly lifted the USD, but not enough to offset the broader rate-cut narrative. Overall, the macro tone remains mildly supportive for gold as long as markets believe the Fed will ease policy this week.
🔑 Key Technical Levels
Resistance Zone: $4,251 – $4,268
Support Zone: $4,163 – $4,147
📌 Trade Summary
Gold holds steady above key support as markets wait for the Fed’s decision. With rate-cut expectations high and China continuing to buy gold, dips into support remain attractive for buyers targeting the $4,250–$4,270 zone. The setup stays constructive unless price closes below $4,138.

Gold has broken the dynamic resistance line and is currently holding above it. We can see an important resistance at the 78% Fibonacci level, which the price has touched twice after breaking the dynamic resistance. Previously, the market also reacted to this same area during an earlier attempt to break the dynamic structure.
We would be waiting to see a strong candle break the blue resistance area and hold above it. then we can expect price to see the previous top area which was around 4380.
Stay tuned for our next updates.
