Beyond Technical Analysis
Bait. Trigger. Collapse!🎯 XAUUSD 1H – Anticipating the Upside Fakeout Before the Real Drop
📉 Trade Breakdown:
Gold is consolidating just beneath a 1H supply zone (3344–3356), forming the classic structure for a liquidity trap. The expectation: price fakes out to the upside, taps the supply zone, and then reverses with a clean bearish move toward 3207. This isn’t just a technical setup — it’s fundamentally fueled by a blowout NFP report.
⸻
📍 Key Technical Confluences:
• 🔸 1H supply zone: 3344–3356 (clean bearish reaction)
• 🔸 Consolidation beneath supply = energy buildup
• 🔸 Likely upside fakeout into supply → then rejection
• 🔸 Equal lows + inefficiency below = target-rich zone
• 🔸 3207 = next major demand / clean target
⸻
📰 Fundamental Fuel:
• 🔹 NFP came in strong (206K vs. expected ~190K)
• 🔹 Dollar surged, yields rebounded → gold dropped
• 🔹 Rate cut hopes fading = bullish for USD, bearish for XAU/USD
• 🔹 Market is now adjusting expectations → selling gold aggressively
• 🔹 Gold already fell post-NFP, but this pullback into supply gives sellers a second entry
⸻
📈 Execution Plan:
• Entry: After upside sweep into 3344–3356 with M15–H1 rejection
• Stop Loss: Above 3356 (supply invalidation)
• Take Profit: 3207 (clean structure + news-driven momentum)
• Optional sniper trigger: Wick rejection during NY session or USD news spike
⸻
🧠 Mindset:
This setup is time-sensitive. It’s not just about structure — it’s about who’s trapped and what the market believes post-NFP. Don’t chase candles. Wait for the manipulation to finish — then strike with precision.

Solana Will Grow Despite "3,200% Rally"Oh my god! Folks, this friend of ours is saying Solana is going down because of a "3,200% rally." Crazy stuff. Can it continue growing after a 3,200% rally? But he is ignoring a massive correction between January and April. How big is the correction you ask? 67%. Meaning, there is no need to mention the previous rally because it has been corrected already.
Ok, hold on... Let's breatheeeeee deeply first.
Solana ETFs. Growing Cryptocurrency market. Global adoption. Old finance finally waking up to the new financial system. Even banks are starting to buy Crypto and opening up a ramp for their customers to buy Crypto, Solana, using their savings and other funds. This is why it will grow.
Think of this. Think of Apple, Inc. when it was young. Think of Tesla and Google and Microsoft. Would you quit after a 3,000% rally? Well, these companies are still growing today. Crypto is no different, it will grow for decades to come. Solana is going up. 100% certainty, you can see it on the chart; the fundamentals as well.
Get on board the bullish train, it is not too late.
Everything money goes into Crypto. You will be happy with the results.
If you stay out, your loss.
Namaste.
RUNEBTC Grew 51,782% in 2021 — Is 6,000% Possible in 2025?Would you like to know something crazy? Just say yes....
THORChain grew 51,782% vs Bitcoin in 665 days. RUNEBTC. Between July 2019 and May 2021.
Now, let me ask you another question. Do you still think that 1,000%, 2,000%, 3,000% is something crazy or out of this world? Looking at how Crypto behaved in the past, we know this is not only possible no, such numbers are not even normal, they might be too low. We might be underestimating the market when we saw 834% potential for growth for example.
Of course it will be go higher... All the top project are getting their own ETFs. The world is evolving towards Crypto.
Listen to me, pay attention. It is not that people are buying Crypto and will trade Crypto to make some money, etc. It is the entire financial system that is called 'Cryptocurrencies'. It is the end of the world basically. It is a new technology.
Just as WiFi took over landline and all that stuff;
Just as email took over mail;
Just as the Internet took over... Telepathy? I don't know.
What I am trying to say is that whatever system we had in the past, everything continues to evolve. It is not something incredible or extraordinary, we were due a monetary upgrade. It is here now. We are all Crypto because we know that paper money is just too old.
Let them close all of my bank accounts... Go ahead!
We have Cryptocurrency now. You can't block us anymore.
Money is free now. Money is freedom.
THORChain has huge potential for growth.
Thanks a lot for your support.
Namaste.
TSLA bearish: Musk vs Trump! Subsidy Spotlight & Sentiment RisksIf you haven`t bought TSLA before the recent breakout:
Now you need to know that Tesla (TSLA) is sitting around $315, but the vibe is getting shakier. Elon Musk’s feud with Donald Trump — complete with jokes about “putting the DOGE on him” if deported — might feel like another meme moment, but it spotlights Tesla’s huge dependency on federal and state support.
Estimates show Tesla could face up to $48 billion in lost government contracts and incentives over the next decade if the political tide turns. With Trump’s base calling out “green subsidies” as wasteful, Tesla’s funding pipeline could get squeezed — just as competition ramps up and margins get tighter.
Key Bearish Points
1) Political Risk Is Real
Musk’s public fight with Trump is a double-edged sword: he risks losing goodwill on both sides of the aisle. If the next administration decides to gut EV credits, Tesla could take a huge hit — far more than its rivals who rely less on U.S. incentives.
2) Subsidy Dependence
Tesla’s success is partly built on a foundation of tax credits, carbon credits, and favorable policies. $48B in potential lost value is nothing to shrug off — especially when competitors like BYD are gaining ground.
3) Bearish Technical Setup
TSLA’s chart is rolling over inside a bearish channel. It recently failed to hold the $330 level and now sits around $315. A clean breakdown below $300 could open the door to your target zone at $262 — a major support area from earlier this year.
Catalysts:
Any new comments from Trump’s camp about EV subsidies
Weak delivery/margin numbers from Tesla
Broader tech/equity pullback
Musk’s crypto distractions no longer propping up sentiment

VKTX: Unusual Options Flow & a Breakthrough Weight-Loss DrugIf you haven`t bought CKTX before the recent rally:
Now you need to know that Viking Therapeutics (VKTX) is a speculative biotech stock in the GLP-1/GIP agonist space, aiming to challenge market leaders like Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk. Recently, I noticed unusual options flow — specifically, Jan 16, 2026 $60 strike calls
Key Bullish Points
1) Riding the Obesity Drug Boom
VK2735 is Viking’s dual agonist candidate showing promising early weight-loss efficacy, with potential overlap benefits in NASH (liver disease). The obesity treatment space is expected to exceed $100B by 2030—huge upside if their trials continue positively.
2) Options Flow Tells a Story
Those Jan 2026 $60 calls caught my attention precisely because the stock currently trades in the mid-$60s. These aren’t cheap lottery plays—they’re strategically timed wrt trial readouts, partnerships, or acquisition interest. Essentially, someone anticipates meaningful upside in the near future.
3) Descending Wedge — Chart Looks Bullish
VKTX peaked near $100, then pulled back into a well-defined descending wedge. If it breaks out above $70–$72 with volume, that could kick off a classic reversal trade.
Smart Money Options Flow — Near-Term Bet:
Recently, I spotted unusual open interest in $60 strike calls expiring Jan 16, 2026 — that’s only about 7 months away.
This means someone is positioning for a big upside move relatively soon, likely betting on positive Phase 2b/3 data, a partnership deal, or even buyout chatter within the next few quarters.
Short-dated, out-of-the-money call flow like this often hints at near-term news — not just a long-dated hedge.
KWEB: China’s Internet Sector - AI Catch-Up and Cheap ValuationsChina’s internet and tech stocks have been hammered for years — regulatory crackdowns, slowing growth fears, and geopolitical tension have crushed sentiment. But as investors know, the best opportunities often hide in what everyone hates.
Enter KWEB, the KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF.
It’s a diversified, liquid way to play a bounce in major names like Alibaba, Tencent, JD .com, Baidu, Meituan and PDD.
Here’s why I think the risk/reward looks compelling now — especially if you believe in AI closing the gap.
Key Bullish Points:
1) Valuations at Rock-Bottom
Many big China internet stocks are still trading at single-digit P/E ratios, even as their cash flows recover. Compared to U.S. big tech trading at 30–50x, this is a huge valuation gap.
Regulatory fears seem largely priced in — Beijing wants growth, not stagnation, and some policies are easing.
2) China’s AI Push — Just “Months Behind”
Jansen Whang recently argued that China’s generative AI development is only “months behind” the U.S. Players like Baidu, Alibaba Cloud, Tencent, and SenseTime are all racing to launch new LLMs and integrated AI tools.
If you believe the gap closes, Chinese platforms could see a major earnings rebound as they roll out AI upgrades across search, cloud, e-commerce and social media.
3) Sentiment So Bad, It’s Good
When the headlines scream “China is uninvestable,” that’s often when big mean reversion trades set up. Even a small policy pivot, stimulus plan, or positive AI news cycle can spark a sharp rally.
KWEB is one of the cleanest ways to express this view because it holds a diversified basket — you don’t have to pick a single winner.
LCID: Could a Saudi Buyout Send This EV Stock Back to $10?If you haven`t sold LCID before the previous earnings:
Now you need to know that Lucid Motors (LCID) is one of the most polarizing EV stocks in the market — but it’s also one of the most interesting speculative turnarounds. Yes, the company faces production challenges, cash burn, and fierce competition from Tesla, BYD, and legacy automakers. But it has some unique wildcards that most other EV startups don’t:
1) The “Musk Factor”
Musk’s public comments about Lucid being “basically controlled by the Saudis” and that they make better-looking cars than Tesla might sound like trolling, but they highlight a real truth: Lucid isn’t just another budget EV player — it’s positioned as a luxury rival with design appeal that matters to high-end buyers.
2) Saudi PIF Is Deep In — Valuation Floor
The Saudi sovereign wealth fund has put billions into LCID already — and now owns around 60%+ of the shares. They’ve made no secret of their plans to expand the kingdom’s domestic EV production and see Lucid as a flagship partner.
Rumors have swirled for years about a possible full buyout to bring Lucid fully under the PIF umbrella — or merge it with other Middle East EV initiatives like the Ceer brand. Any credible news here could double or triple the stock overnight from these depressed levels.
3) Gravity SUV & Product Pipeline
The Lucid Air remains one of the few luxury EVs that truly competes with Tesla’s Model S in both design and range. The upcoming Gravity SUV could be the next big catalyst, especially as the luxury SUV segment has fatter margins and huge global demand.
Meanwhile, the new AMP-2 factory in Saudi Arabia will help Lucid localize production, get tax incentives, and serve the Middle East and Europe more cost-effectively.
4) Technical Setup: Double Bottom Pattern
Here’s what really makes this setup tradable: LCID is showing a clear double bottom on the daily chart around the $2–$2.20 zone. The stock tested that level twice and bounced, forming a W-shaped base that can signal a reversal.

Gold (XAUUSD) – July 4: Structure Shift & Short BiasYesterday’s price action (July 3) delivered a crucial structure break that changes our short-term trading outlook.
We were expecting a bullish continuation with a clean break above the 3365 M15 swing high .
Price reached as high as 3364, but failed to break the high — showing early signs of exhaustion.
Then came the PMI news release, triggering a sharp drop that broke the M15 Higher Low and shifted structure.
🔻 Structure Has Shifted
As of today, July 4, the intraday market structure has flipped from bullish to bearish.
✅ M15 trend: Now in a confirmed downtrend
✅ H4 trend: Entering a pullback phase
❌ Previous bullish continuation setup is invalidated
We now adjust our approach to align with the new structure — not the old expectation.
📉 Updated Bias: Short
With M15 and H4 now aligned in pullback, our active bias is bearish.
This means:
• We are not planning any long trades until structure shifts back
• Focus shifts to short setups only, executed with discipline
🔍 Intraday Short Setup Plan – July 4
We are watching for price to retrace into valid M15 POI zones before resuming the downtrend.
🔸 First zone to watch:
• 3348–3352 → M15 POI with strong probability for rejection
🔹 Execution Rule:
→ If price enters this zone
→ And we see M1 confirmation (ChoCh + micro BoS)
→ We will plan a short entry, with structure-based SL and minimum 1:3 RR
🎯 Downside Levels Ahead:
If bearish momentum continues, the next potential reversal/support zone is:
📍 3280–3285
→ This will be a key area to observe for signs of exhaustion or base formation
→ Until then, trend remains valid to the downside
🧭 Final Thoughts:
This shift from bullish to bearish bias is a textbook example of why we follow structure — not predictions .
The market gave a clean BoS at 3358, but failed to follow through.
Instead of forcing the long, we’ve now flipped bias in line with the chart’s reflection.
📖 Let the chart guide your thinking.
Structure reveals the direction.
Confirmation controls the execution.
The chart is the mirror.

Why IonQ (IONQ) Could Be the NVDA of Quantum ComputingIf you haven`t bought IONQ before the rally:
Now you need to know that IonQ isn’t just another speculative quantum stock — The company is building a robust ecosystem around its best‑in‑class trapped‑ion architecture and targeting fault‑tolerant, networked quantum systems. With record bookings, major acquisitions, and a strong balance sheet, IonQ could emerge as the NVIDIA equivalent for quantum infrastructure.
Key Bullish Arguments
1) Superior Quantum Tech – Trapped‑Ion Advantage
IonQ’s trapped-ion processors boast 99.9% two-qubit fidelity, demonstrating higher accuracy and scalability than superconducting alternatives
These systems also operate at room temperature, meaning simpler deployment and lower costs
2) Ecosystem Strategy & Acquisitions
The $1.08B acquisition of Oxford Ionics (expected close in 2025) expands IonQ’s qubit control tech, pushing toward planned 80,000 logical‑qubit systems by decade’s end
Combined with ID Quantique and Lightsynq, IonQ is building a full-stack quantum and networking offering
3) Strong Revenue Growth & Cash Runway
Revenue soared from $22M in 2023 to $43.1M in 2024, with bookings of $95.6M
. Q1 2025 saw $7.6M revenue and EPS –$0.14, beating expectations; cash reserves near $697M provide years of runway
4) Real Commercial Deployments
IonQ sold its Forte Enterprise quantum system to EPB ($22M deal) for hybrid compute and networking, marking real-world commercial applications
5) AI & Quantum Synergy
Involvement in NVIDIA’s Quantum Day and hybrid quantum‑classical AI demos (e.g., blood pump simulation with Ansys, ~12 % faster) indicates strategic synergy and positions IonQ as a critical piece in the future AI stack

Texas Quantum Initiative passes – positions IonQ at forefront of U.S. state-backed innovation
Oxford Ionics acquisition pending – major expansion in qubit scale & tech
Barron’s analyst buys – industry analysts see long-term potential; IonQ among top quantum picks
Broader quantum optimism – McKinsey & Morgan Stanley forecasts highlight synergy between quantum and AI, benefiting IonQ
Prediction for EUR/USD Sell Setup (Short from 1.1825–1.1830)
Why?
• Price recently broke down from an ascending channel (seen on your TradingView screenshot).
• Confirmed lower high structure (bearish).
• Rejection from previous resistance near 1.1830 is likely.
• Fibonacci retracement shows 1.1830 aligns with key 78.6% reversal zone.
• DXY (USD Index) strength supports EUR/USD downside pressure.
• Clean downside liquidity resting near 1.1700 and possibly 1.1630.
⚠️ Buy Setup (Long from 1.1745–1.1750)
• Confidence: ⚪ 78%
• Why Lower?
• Although 1.1745 is solid support, it is being retested too frequently.
• Momentum is weakening.
• If price stalls and fails to bounce strongly off 1.1750, it risks collapsing to 1.1700 or lower.
• MACD/Volume divergence showing early bearish bias on M15/M30 timeframes.
⸻
🧠 Verdict:
• Short trade from 1.1825–1.1830 has higher probability based on current structure and momentum.
• This would be a sell-the-retest opportunity of the broken ascending channel.
• Hold to TP1 = 1.1745, and TP2 = 1.1700, with clean smart trail logic activated after TP1.
Then wait for reversal triggers and initiate sell long setup
Why Palantir (PLTR) Could Be the NVDA of Government AI If you haven`t bought PLTR before the massive rally:
Palantir Technologies (PLTR) is proving it’s more than just another AI hype play — it’s becoming a core piece of the secure AI infrastructure for governments and large enterprises worldwide.
Key Bullish Arguments
1) Strong Government Moat
PLTR’s deep relationship with the U.S. government, NATO, and allies provides sticky, long-term revenue streams. In an age of geopolitical tension, this is exactly the type of mission-critical AI spending that stays funded.
2) Expanding Commercial Footprint
The commercial segment is no longer a side project. Palantir’s Foundry and Apollo platforms help enterprises deploy AI at scale — securely, in-house, and without sending sensitive data to open systems. Recent deals in healthcare, energy, and critical infrastructure show they’re broadening their customer base.
3) Profitability & Balance Sheet
Palantir is GAAP profitable for six consecutive quarters, with strong free cash flow and zero debt. For a growth stock in AI, this gives it rare staying power if macro conditions tighten.
4) Technical Strength
The stock broke out above ~$125–$130 support and is now testing key resistance in the $140–$148 range. Weekly momentum remains bullish, and institutional accumulation (A/D line) remains strong.
5) AI Tailwinds Remain
While the general AI trade has cooled for some names, PLTR’s unique moat in secure and domain-specific AI makes it more defensible than generic “AI SaaS” stocks. New contracts or AI platform updates could reignite momentum this summer.
Possible Summer Catalysts
New multi-year government deals — especially in defense and cybersecurity.
Major commercial partnerships — especially in healthcare or energy.
AI platform upgrades — more integrations with LLMs or domain-specific AI.
Inclusion in AI-focused ETFs — or further index rebalancing inflows.

CRSP Could Crack the Holy Grails of Medicine: Cancer & AlzheimerWhen Tesla (TSLA) started, few believed a scrappy EV startup could transform the entire auto industry and ignite a green energy revolution. But it did.
Today, CRISPR Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CRSP) is quietly doing something similar for medicine — and if you squint, its upside might be even bigger than Tesla’s.
Gene Editing: The Next Industrial Revolution — For Your Cells
CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing is like biological software. It gives scientists the power to cut, delete, or rewrite genes — the source code of life — with surgical precision.
CRISPR Therapeutics was co-founded by Dr. Emmanuelle Charpentier, a Nobel Prize winner who helped pioneer this breakthrough. The company’s lead therapy, exa-cel — just FDA approved in the U.S. — is the first-ever CRISPR-based gene-editing treatment to hit the market.
First up: curing devastating blood disorders like sickle cell disease and beta-thalassemia — a $10 billion+ opportunity. But that’s only the start.
Aging: The Ultimate Disease
What if we treated aging itself as a disease?
Many scientists now argue that growing old is the result of accumulated genetic errors, cellular damage, and mutations — processes that can be slowed or even reversed.
Gene editing holds the promise to repair DNA damage, reprogram cells, and treat the root causes of age-related decline. If successful, it could extend healthy human lifespan by decades.
Think about that: Tesla made cars last longer and burn cleaner. CRSP could make you last longer and live healthier.
The Two Holy Grails: Cancer and Alzheimer’s
Beyond blood disorders, CRISPR Therapeutics is working on a pipeline targeting solid tumors, diabetes, and more. But the real game-changers are cancer and Alzheimer’s disease — the twin mountains every biotech company dreams of conquering.
With gene editing, we could one day rewrite the genetic mutations that fuel cancer growth or remove the faulty proteins that clog the brain in Alzheimer’s. These are trillion-dollar problems — and the company that cracks them will reshape human history.
Built for Scale — Like Tesla
CRSP isn’t going at it alone. Partnerships with Vertex, Bayer, and ViaCyte help spread risk and amplify impact. With over $2 billion in cash, it has the runway to execute — just as Tesla used capital to build factories and charging networks at scale.
The market still underestimates that this is a platform company — not a single-drug biotech. If Tesla went from cars to batteries, solar, and AI, CRSP could go from blood disorders to rewriting the code for life itself.
Bottom Line
Aging. Cancer. Alzheimer’s. These are the holy grails of medicine.
If you missed Tesla at $20 a share, CRISPR Therapeutics could be your second chance — the TSLA of Gene Editing.
Because the greatest disruption of all is not electric cars. It’s the chance that, one day, growing old will be optional.
Final Trading Day Outlook for GOLD – Friday Bias and Trade PlanAs we head into the last trading day of the week, here's my outlook for GOLD ( CAPITALCOM:GOLD ):
Bias and Expectation
I was expecting a retracement from the 75% Draw on Liquidity (DRT) level — not just because of the level itself, but also due to its confluence with a Fair Value Gap (FVG) and a Bearish Order Block. And that retracement did occur.
Thursday delivered that deep retracement, courtesy of economic data and news releases. That pullback tapped into a Daily FVG and is now trading above its Consequent Encroachment (CE) at the time of this analysis.
✅ If today’s candle closes above the midpoint of that FVG, it will further confirm my bullish bias.
✅ Even more convincing will be a close above the upper boundary of the FVG, suggesting strength and possible continuation.
Market Structure Across Timeframes
🔸 4H Chart:
Price has raided sell-side liquidity and formed relative equal highs, a sign that the market may seek to attack that zone next — possibly as a liquidity target.
🔸 1H Chart:
The market is currently trading in the premium zone of the FVG, and shows a clear inability to trade lower, further supporting the bullish outlook.
Trade Plan
My trade idea for Friday is as follows:
Wait for a purge (liquidity sweep) on the sell-side, ideally during a Kill Zone (London or NY).
Look for confirmation and confluence based on my model (e.g. displacement, market structure shift).
Enter long positions targeting the next liquidity pool, particularly the equal highs formed on the 4H timeframe.
⚠️ Reminder:
Trade with due diligence. This is not financial advice. Always align entries with your personal model and preferred session.

Today may present strong opportunities — but patience, timing, and context are everything. Let the market show its hand, then act.

Intel - The rally starts!Intel - NASDAQ:INTC - creates a major bottom:
(click chart above to see the in depth analysis👆🏻)
For approximately a full year, Intel has not been moving anywhere. Furthermore Intel now trades at the exact same level as it was a decade ago. However price is forming a solid bottom formation at a key support level. Thus we can expect a significant move higher.
Levels to watch: $25.0
Keep your long term vision!
Philip (BasicTrading)
Setups don't get a lot better than this for me - long at 107.83I'll start with BJ itself. Historically, it is top 50 in my universe of over 2000 stocks in terms of per day returns on trades, at .257% (6x the market avg per day). Its record is perfect at 189-0 with an average return of 1.8% in 7 days. The new filter I recently added, however, bumps that per day held return up to .363% (around 90% annualized).
On top of that, it currently sits RIGHT ON a double bottom support (almost triple bottom) that is reinforced by the previous high, and KISSED, but did not break, its 1 year regression channel before rebounding intraday. It is a stock respecting its technical support here.
That said, there are no guarantees in trading, and I've had plenty of similar stocks tank on me in similar situations, but trading is about playing the odds. And while I may face a bad beat, good traders play the odds and they are decidedly in my favor here.
The exit target is not fixed, but I will not be using FPC close unless the return is outlandish or protracted. I think you've all seen enough of my trades to know what I'm expecting, though - a profit above the average daily return of the market. Just a side note, FPC CAN be used. It isn't broken, and fairly frequently outperforms what I'm doing now on a per day held basis. I'm just looking for a little bit fatter win. The risk there, though, is a longer holding period. Sometimes a lot longer. Nothing in the market comes for free, and that's the tradeoff.
As always - this is intended as "edutainment" and my perspective on what I am or would be doing, not a recommendation for you to buy or sell. Act accordingly and invest at your own risk. DYOR and only make investments that make good financial sense for you in your current situation.
