XAUUSD Daily Sniper Plan – June 24, 2025“Snipers wait. Structure tells the story.” Hello traders! The market is stuck between the FOMC high at 3452 and the confirmed low at 3340. Price is compressing under H1 supply and above a key liquidity pocket. Here's your full plan with all sniper zones — now including a decision zone for intraday confirmation. 📰 Macro + Fundamental Context Powell Testimony + multiple FOMC speeches today → high potential for dollar-driven volatility. Inflation concerns and hawkish tone expected → short-term gold bearish pressure unless structure reclaims 3415+. Smart money likely hunting liquidity both below 3340 and above 3400. 🔸 HTF Structure Summary (D1 → H4 → H1) D1: Consolidation between 3452 and 3340. No new BOS. H4: LL formed at 3340. LH not confirmed. Market is compressing under resistance. H1: CHoCH + BOS confirmed. Current price sits in mid-range. 🔍 Sniper Entry Zones 🟥 Sell Zone 1: 3382–3395 H1 supply zone with previous rejection. Includes order block + FVG. Valid for new short entries if price returns and rejects. 🟥 Sell Zone 2: 3406–3420 High-risk spike zone from FOMC. Only valid during fast, news-driven price movement. Not a default entry unless confirmed rejection. 🟨 Decision Zone (Flip Area): 3360–3372 This is the key intraday flip level. If price stays below, sell zones remain valid. If price closes above, short bias is invalid and market may aim higher. Use this zone to confirm bias before entering from either side. 🟩 Buy Zone 1: 3335–3345 Strong demand under equal lows. OB + small imbalance on M15. Valid for intraday long setups if confirmed with bullish price action. 🟦 Buy Zone 2: 3305–3285 H4 demand zone with major liquidity below. Deep reversal area — only valid if price breaks 3340. Smart money may be waiting here. 📌 Key Levels Summary Zone Type Price Range Explanation 🔺 Premium OB 3450–3480 Daily supply zone 🟥 Sell Zone 1 3382–3395 Active H1 supply 🟥 Sell Zone 2 3406–3420 FOMC wick inducement 🟨 Flip Zone 3360–3372 Decision area — confirm bias 🟩 Buy Zone 1 3335–3345 Demand under equal lows 🟦 Buy Zone 2 3305–3285 H4 demand + deep liquidity 📣 Final Notes 📌 The market is at a critical moment. The flip zone (3360–3372) will decide tomorrow’s control: bear continuation or deeper retracement. Watch price at the zone. Let the structure speak. Trade only where the logic is clean. 👁 Good luck in the market tomorrow, traders! — GoldFxMinds 🟨 Disclosure: I am part of TradeNation’s Influencer Program and receive a monthly fee for using their TradingView charts in educational work.

CRUDE OIL poised to go UP AGAIN? Usually my posts on crude oil are short. but here’s a longer one for a change. Back in December, I predicted that crude oil would hit the highlighted zone around $57. That’s exactly what happened, hit the target and bounced. Over the past two weeks, we’ve seen wild swings in crude oil prices as tensions between Iran and Israel escalated. But now, following the ceasefire announcement brokered by President Trump, and considering Iran’s response over the past couple of days, crude oil has dropped below its pre-conflict price levels. While I truly hope for a peaceful world where no innocent lives are harmed, my personal view is that this ceasefire feels fragile and may not last long. So, what’s next for crude oil? Up or down? If the ceasefire holds and we don’t see further conflict in the Middle East, I think crude oil could hover in the $65–$75 range. There’s even a slim chance we dip as low as $45. However, based on my technical analysis model, and my doubts about the durability of the ceasefire, I expect oil prices to rise in the next 6 to 9 months. My targets? $78 and $85. Of course, I might be wrong this time. :) Cheers!

Technology ETF Flirts with New HighsTechnology stocks have been coming to life recently, and some traders may expect new highs soon. The first pattern on today’s chart of the SPDR Select Sector Technology Fund is last July’s peak around $238. As the fund retreated from that level, it began a period of underperformance. (See ratio chart in the lower study.) The weakness continued through April, when it started to outpace the broader market again. Second is $240.84, the final price on December 6 and the highest weekly closing price ever. XLK is on track to potentially surpass that level, which could confirm a breakout. Third, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) is nearing a potential “golden cross” above the 200-day SMA. Is the longer-term trend turning bullish again? Finally, price action in this fund could be important for the broader market because technology represents almost one-third of the S&P 500 index. Standardized Performances for the ETF mentioned above: SPDR Select Sector Technology ETF (XLK) 1-year: +9.87 % 5-years: +135.69% 10-year: +432.42% (As of May 30, 2025) Exchange Traded Funds ("ETFs") are subject to management fees and other expenses.

Subtle Trading Challenges: Under-Discussed Psychological and OpsWhile traders often focus on well-known pitfalls like fear, greed, or overtrading , there are other subtle issues that can quietly undermine trading consistency and mindset. Below are a few under-discussed problems – touching on both psychology and day-to-day operations that many traders face. Self-Worth Tied to Trading Performance Some traders unknowingly tie their self-esteem or sense of self-worth to their trading results. When they have a losing day, they don’t just lose money – they feel personally defeated. This can trigger intense negative self-talk and emotional reactions to losses, sometimes causing traders to abandon their strategy or second-guess decisions in the heat of the moment. Because admitting such vulnerability is often seen as a weakness in trading circles, this issue rarely gets openly discussed, even though it can greatly sabotage a trader’s confidence and long-term consistency. Analysis Paralysis and Decision Fatigue In the age of overflowing data, traders can fall into “analysis paralysis” – overanalyzing market information to the point where they can’t make a clear decision. With countless indicators, news feeds, and opinions, it’s easy to get bogged down comparing options until no clear choice emerges, and this inaction can lead to missed profitable opportunities. Moreover, the mental strain of constantly dissecting information can cause decision fatigue, quietly diminishing the quality of any trades that are made. Unlike impulsive errors, this problem often masquerades as diligence, so it doesn’t get much attention in public discussions – yet it can erode a trader’s decisiveness and stress levels over time. Constant Strategy Switching (System Hopping) Another subtle pitfall is the tendency to jump between trading strategies too frequently, known as “system hopping.” Eager for a perfect method, traders might abandon a system after just a couple of losing trades and immediately switch to a new approach, never giving any strategy enough time to prove its worth. This habit – often fueled by impatience or get-rich-quick expectations – means the trader is always restarting the learning curve and never capitalizing on a method’s long-term edge. It’s an operational inconsistency that traders seldom admit openly, but it quietly undermines confidence and prevents the development of a stable, repeatable trading process. Each of these problems tends to fly under the radar in trading forums or education, yet they subtly impact consistency and mindset. By recognizing these lesser-discussed challenges, traders can begin to address them and strengthen their overall discipline and performance.
