Asiasession
REZUSDT | CONTINUATION DOWN?Asia session insights: Are we heading lower? The stage is set for a potential sell-off, and REZUSDT could be in the spotlight.
Market Context
Bitcoin is still trading in a downtrend, and even a small downward movement could trigger a larger sell-off in the altcoin market. Let’s see if REZUSDT will follow suit.
Bearish Signals
• BTC Downtrend: Bitcoin continues its downward trajectory, putting pressure on the entire crypto market.
• Asia Session: Historically, the Asia trading session can see significant movements. If BTC drops, it could accelerate sell-offs in altcoins like REZUSDT.
• Price Action: The recent price action in REZUSDT shows weakness, with lower highs and a potential breakdown from current levels.
Strategy
Given the current market conditions and the bearish signals, I’m betting on a downward continuation for REZUSDT. Let’s capitalize on this potential move.
Action Plan
Going short on REZUSDT, targeting a continuation of the downward movement.
Are we going to see a further drop during the Asia session? Let’s find out! 🚀💥
Good luck, everyone!
XAUUSD LONG- ASIA SESSION - 1:6 RRGood Morning Asia,
On Monday, I shared a Long opportunity with my second target at 2369.80. Although I'm still holding this position, I've identified a scalp opportunity this morning with a good R:R opportunity of 1:6.
Price is currently accumulating and preparing for that final bullish expansion towards 2369.80. I believe a bearish continuation in-line with the Daily will take place after this move, see below:
On the LTF, price is currently in a 15mins bullish range. Therefore, I'm anticipating a purge of the recent low within the 15mins range at 2357.78. This is where I'll be entering with my SL below the low. My target is 1:6 towards 2347.35
Trade safe and use appropriate risk.
XAUUSD LONG - ASIA SESSION - 1:3RR & 1:9RRGood Morning Asia
Price is currently in a daily accumulation range with a purge of the range high signalling a bearish towards the range low. This makes my predominant bias on the daily bearish.
As it’s the start of the week, I'm anticipating a continuation of Fridays move. This morning's setup is framed on the H1 timeframe. Price is still within a bullish cycle on this timeframe until we see price trade above 2347.35.
Price has now traded within the 15mins equilibrium range where I'm interested in going long, anticipating a bullish continuation towards 2347.35. There is a possibility price could retest the day open price so my SL would go below this level.
There are two targets one could aim for this this setup. The first target is our H1 Buyside target at 2347.35. The second is to anticipate a more sustained correction towards the relative EQH at 2369.80 which is confluent with the 800EMA.
Happy Trading
XAUUSD LONG - ASIA SESSION - 1:7 RRGood Morning Asia,
Anticipating a correction on Gold today towards 2371.19.
Although price is currently accumulating, there is a clear break on the 15mins with price purging the recent low. This would undoubtedly attract more sellers in the market anticipating a continuation of the downward move. I see price moving against these sellers.
This is a risky setup but if it plays out right will be very rewarding.
Trade safe and employ the most appropriate risk.
XAUUSD LONG- ASIA SESSION - 1:9 RRGood Morning Asia,
A fantastic day yesterday for Gold. We saw the completion of our bearish cycle with price breaking below the HTF LOR in NY session.
Today, I can see that price has now established a new H4 break which will be my frame of reference for todays trading. Here is a chart shot of the H4 range and what I project.
Based on this frame, we can see that two opportunities presents itself to me today. The first is to look for an opportunity to go long towards the HVA area if a good RR setup presents itself (1:2min) and the second is to be a seller from above the HVA towards the LOR which would most likely yield a higher RR opportunity.
However, I am also cautious of the H1 frame that is nested within the H4 which might produce a more shorter term accumulation before the move towards the H4 HVA, like this:
The setup I posted is based on the first opportunity to buy towards the H1 HVA. My pending is just below the day open price. If price first rallies towards the M15 BSL pool then this setup would be invalidated and I would be more attuned to selling from the M15 BSL pool towards the H1 LOR.
Feel free to share your thoughts/feedback.
Happy Trading.
XAUUSD LONG - ASIA SESSION - 1:4 RRGood Morning Asia,
Today, price is still bearish on the H4. Although we did see a move towards the LOR I identified yesterday at 2407.18, price only tapped this level before pulling back into the range. There is a very strong likelihood of a continuation back down below the range but if you've traded gold long enough, you know that it has a tendency to stay with ranges.
My setup this morning is framed based on the bearish structure on the H1 timeframe within the H4 range. Here is a beautiful chart shot of it:
Based on this frame, we can see that two opportunities could present itself to me this morning. The first is to look for an opportunity to go long towards the HVA area if a good RR setup presents itself (1:2min) and the second is to be a seller from above the HVA towards the LOR which would most likely yield a higher RR opportunity.
The setup I posted is based on the first opportunity to buy towards the HVA. My pending is just below the day open price. The potential RR is 1:4 which is good to work with.
However, If price rallies towards the BSL pool at the HVA without hitting the lows (day open price), then this setup would be invalidated and I would be more attuned to a second opportunity.
Will keep you posted. Don't forget to like, share or leave a comment if you have any questions/feedback
XAUUSD SHORT- ASIA SESSION - 1:7 RRHi again,
This setup is a follow up from the first trade I posted this morning (for me). Now that price has tapped into the M15 buyside target as well as the imbalance, I'm now anticipating a sell opportunity from above this high in-line with the HTF pre-dominant trend.
My entry is positioned at a STH on the LTF which is within the H1 -OB. I'm placing this position on the assumption that the first position will hit target therefore making this a risk-free trade - what we all love.
Side note: Price can be volatile during session crossovers. So as we go towards London open, if price is still sitting around our entry price, I usually anticipate a stop out and get pleasantly surprised if it doesn’t happen.
Always calculate your risk.
XAUUSD LONG - ASIA SESSION - 1:3 RRGood Morning Traders,
Yesterday's price action confirmed a shift in intra-day trend direction from bullish to bearish. This is evidenced by the H1 Break of structure that took place.
A new trading range has now been created on the H1 which would provide opportunities plenty of opportunities for us to take advantage of
Asia Session
This morning, I'm looking to be a buyer below the day open price. This is in-line with the current 15mins bullish structure with an unmitigated buyside pool at 2430.44. After price trades above this price, I'm anticipating an opportunity to sell in-line with the higher time-frame trend for a larger R-R
XAUUSD Short- Asia Session - 1:6 RR (Sell now)After price pulled back into a key buyside liquidity zone yesterday, Im anticipating a bearish continuation from here back towards the weekly lows. Price is currently within the intermediate zones so entry from here might be risky. However, if a strong bearish shift takes place within the hour from here then it's likely we'll see price run towards the LOR where my final target is.
It's important to appropriately manage your risk.

EG shortThings are looking quite good for an EG short , to list some reasons why...
+ Multiple Asia sessions need to be filled
+ Liquidity sitting below lowest Asia session
+ Price action is weaking near top, all we need is a nice BOS and re-test of the highest void (nice rejection off of that for an entry)
Counter idea: This idea could become invalidated because price tested the session high 3 other times so it is weakening the session high, we may just smash through our void and continue on our 15M uptrend. But until then we will have to see what PA does.
GU shortsScale down to the one-minute TF to see my mark up more clearly. My reasons for going short on GU are...
+ Bearish trend overall
+Double bottoms, money sitting down below. People in long positions need to be taken out
+Voids below session low
+Asia session below void was not filled 100%
Going to wait for a BOS once we get a tap of void on 1M before entering, If I'm entering on the 1M TF I enter 1 pip in advance.
