AudCad..PWL taken!!Good day traders, I’m back with another setup on AudCad and I like that previous week low was taken. We can now look at the power of 3 with higher TF in mind. On the 4H TF price has been bearish but we can see that price left very “smooth” highs(relative equal highs) but ICT teaches us that price will always go back to make the smooth highs, smooth cries(liquidity sweep). Before price took our low it left a FVG that’s we wanna see turn into an inverse. The first target has to be our internal liquidity than the external liquidity that also has relatively equal highs too.

Bitcoin (BTC/USDT) – Flag Breakout Points to $114KHello guys! Bitcoin continues to respect the bullish structure within its ascending channel, and we just got a clean breakout from a textbook bull flag. After a solid move higher earlier this month, BTC cooled off inside a tight flag pattern, consolidating above $106K. That pullback helped reset momentum, and now we’ve broken out with conviction. You can read about it here: We’re currently hovering around $ 109.8 K. A short-term retest of the breakout zone near $108K–$108.5K wouldn’t be surprising. it could even offer a great entry opportunity before the next leg up. If momentum holds, the projected target from this flag pattern lands in the $113.5K–$114K zone. watch these: Support: $107.5K–$108.5K Target: $114K Invalidation: Break below $107K Bias remains bullish unless we lose the channel structure.

Dow Jones Inverse Head and Shoulders Pattern on H1 TFPrice was retested and rejected in an H4 demand zone following a massive pullback. Since then, it has been showing consistent higher highs and higher lows on H1 and has now confirmed a bearish-to-bullish reversal in the form of an inverted head-and-shoulders pattern. Whether or not there is a minor pullback, as indicated by the arrows pointing to the downside, the overall bias is bullish, as per the confirmations mentioned.

Bitcoin Heading UP for the Next Leg of the Rally in June 2025 The same orange fractal is in the background as in the previous idea. The orange fractal is the main fractal. However we have a quirky Uranus becoming the boss of the charts from 30 May 2025, and the cream colour fractal represents what happened last time Uranus was the boss of the chart. The cream fractal is my alternative fractal. Uranus is unpredictable and it's very difficult to nail what Uranus will do. So the orange fractal remains the main fractal. If you want to see it well - refer to the previous idea.

Pound Tops $1.357 on Solid DataGBP/USD advanced above $1.357, hitting its highest level since February 2022, as Trump’s delay of the 50% EU tariff boosted global sentiment. The pound also gained from promising April data, with retail sales rising 1.2%, marking the fourth monthly gain. Inflation stayed high at 3.5%, adding uncertainty over the BoE’s next move. Markets now price in a 50% chance of a rate cut by August, with another possible by year-end. Support lies at 1.3425, with resistance at 1.3600. Other key levels are 1.3850 and 1.3750 above, and 1.3165 and 1.2890 below.

Gold Price Action Analysis – Using MMC (Mirror Market Concepts) 🔍 Overview: In this idea, we dive deep into XAU/USD's (Gold) short-term bearish move using a blend of Mirror Market Concepts (MMC) and Smart Money Concepts (SMC). The 15-minute chart provides an excellent visual of market psychology shifting, with CHoCHs, supply-demand zones, SR flips, and the Black Mind Curve highlighting the story of price. 🧩 Market Structure Breakdown: 🔵 1. Major Resistance Zone Formed Price pushed aggressively upward but met strong rejection near the major resistance zone. This zone acts as a ceiling for the bullish momentum—setting the first signal for a possible reversal. 🔵 2. Black Mind Curve Activated A descending Black Mind Curve was plotted to reflect the psychological shift from bullish to bearish. Price failed multiple times to break above this curve, highlighting strong internal weakness. The Black Mind Curve visually reinforces the bearish tone and offers a roadmap for probable lower highs. 🔵 3. Minor Resistance + SR Interchange As price dropped, it created a minor resistance. When price returned to this area and rejected it, this confirmed an SR Flip (Support-Resistance Interchange)—a classic MMC feature. Mirror Market Concepts suggest that old demand often mirrors into new supply. That's exactly what happens here. 🔵 4. Major CHoCH: Change of Character A decisive break of the bullish structure signaled a Major CHoCH, confirming bearish order flow. This is the moment smart money starts repositioning for shorts—liquidity has been grabbed above previous highs, and the direction shifts. 🔵 5. 50% Retracement After the impulsive drop, price retraced nearly 50%—a key area of interest for MMC traders. This level often acts as a decision point. In this case, price rejects the retracement, creating an ideal zone for re-entries. 🔵 6. Targeting the Demand Zone The projected target lies in a prior demand zone, which mirrors earlier supply structure. This aligns with MMC’s principle of "market reflection"—what was resistance becomes support again, and vice versa. 🎯 Trade Bias: Bearish Entry Confirmation: After CHoCH + rejection from 50% level + re-alignment with Black Mind Curve. SL: Just above the 50% retracement or last minor high. TP: At the marked target zone near historical demand. 🧠 Why MMC Works Here: MMC helps you see the market in reverse—where previous zones mirror and reflect. Combined with smart money triggers like CHoCHs, BOS, liquidity sweeps, and SR flips, this makes for a precise trading model that goes beyond basic support and resistance. The beauty of MMC is that it reveals where the crowd is wrong and where the real momentum lies. 🔑 Key Takeaways for Traders: The Black Mind Curve helps visualize hidden resistance paths. CHoCHs are crucial in understanding market intent. MMC allows traders to anticipate instead of react. High probability setups form where multiple MMC/SMC elements converge. Always wait for confirmation, not assumption.

Solana has broken out!The neckline was broken with a strong bullish candle. After the breakout, price is currently retesting the neckline. This area also aligns with previous structure and trendline breakout, strengthening the case for a bullish continuation. Two possible bullish scenarios are outlined: 🔸 A direct continuation from current levels 🔹A deeper retest of the FVG zone before resuming the uptrend 📈 Target projection: Based on the height of the inverse H&S pattern, the potential upside targets the $260–$270 area. 📉 Invalidation: A clean break below the FVG zone (~$162) would invalidate the setup and suggest a deeper retracement. Overall, the structure remains bullish until proven otherwise. Watching the next daily closes for confirmation.

Nestlé Returns to Its Roots to Regain Lost GroundBy Ion Jauregui – Analyst at ActivTrades Nestlé (SWX: NESN), one of the world’s food industry giants, has announced a major strategic shift: a renewed focus on what it does best. The company’s new CEO, Laurent Freixe, has made it clear that the era of forced diversification—particularly into areas like nutritional supplements—is over. Since taking the helm in September, Freixe has been steering the company back to its traditional food and beverage business, acknowledging that moving away from this core was a mistake that undermined strategic clarity and market share, especially in the U.S. In his own words, mergers and acquisitions are no longer part of the plan: “they are not a strategy in themselves.” This reorientation comes at a crucial time, as Nestlé seeks to regain momentum and reinforce its position in a challenging U.S. market, shaped by tariff pressures and increasingly specialized competitors. Still, early signs point to a gradual recovery, without the need to reinvent itself as a health or supplement company. Recent Financial Results In 2024, Nestlé posted sales of 91.354 billion Swiss francs, representing a 1.8% decline from the previous year. However, organic growth came in at 2.2%, driven by a 1.5% price increase and real internal growth (RIG) of 0.8%. Net profit stood at 10.884 billion Swiss francs, down 2.9% from 2023. Regionally, sales in North America declined by 2.5% to 25.336 billion Swiss francs, while European sales dropped 1% to 18.910 billion. Sales in Asia and Oceania fell 4.1% to 16.793 billion, and Latin America saw a 2.2% contraction to 11.933 billion Swiss francs. For the first half of 2025, Nestlé reported revenues of 45.045 billion Swiss francs, a 2.7% year-on-year decrease. Comparable sales grew by 2.1%, driven by a 2.0% price hike and 0.1% volume growth. Net profit reached 5.644 billion Swiss francs, slightly below market expectations. Technical Analysis Nestlé’s stock has been correcting since its May 2023 highs, reaching a low in January 2025 before rebounding toward a mid-range level between 78.50 and 98.28 Swiss francs per share. The current price of 88.64 is close to the average zone and the point of control at 86.75 francs. The RSI indicates mild overbought conditions at 60.35%, along with a long-term moving average crossover formed in late March that appears to signal a bullish extension continuing to reflect in the price action. A move up to the 0.5 Fibonacci level (89.60 francs) is plausible, and a further advance toward the next resistance at 94.15 francs (0.618 fibo) cannot be ruled out. Why Does It Matter? Because Nestlé serves as a bellwether for the global food sector. Its recent loss of strategic focus shows that even established brands can stumble when they stray too far from their core. This return to fundamentals could not only improve margins and operational efficiency, but also inspire other corporations to reevaluate their strategies. Nestlé is not innovating for the sake of it—it’s reconnecting with its essence: delivering quality products for everyday life. ******************************************************************************************* The information provided does not constitute investment research.
