NVIDIA: Breakout above ascending triangle, retest confirmationNVDA has been forming an ascending triangle over the past few weeks, with declining volume. Finally, it broke out yesterday, and today, we had a retest of the resistance line. NVDA was down about 1% earlier today however after a successful retest of the resistance line, it is now up 0.8% at the time of writing. In terms of support, it seems the price has successfully bounced off the 50-Day SMA line. While an ascending triangle is bullish, the 200-Day SMA is likely going to be a point of resistance (around $125). This is amid the renewed overall market strength and the news related to the reduced limitations of exporting AI chips - which is contributing to the momentum. Please note: Not financial advice.

Gold is expected to fall below 3300, continue to short gold！Fundamentals: 1. Pay attention to whether the geopolitical conflicts escalate, including the situation between India and Pakistan, Russia and Ukraine, and the situation between the United States and Iran, etc. Technical aspects: Although the gold price gradually rebounded after hitting 3320 points, the current rebound momentum is relatively weak. The gold price has turned from strong to weak, and the short-term "M"-shaped top structure formed by 3435 points and 3414 points above has suppressed the upward space of the gold price. Therefore, we still focus on shorting gold after the rebound. First, we focus on the resistance area of ​​3355-3365 points above. If the gold price rebound fails to successfully break through this area, the gold price will fall again and is expected to continue to fall to around 3280 points. Trading strategy: Consider shorting gold after gold rebounds to the 3355-3365 area, target price: 3340

Pay attention to 3360 and go short if it does not break🗞News side: 1. China and the United States hold talks on trade issues 2. India-Pakistan conflict escalates again 3. Geopolitical risks 📈Technical aspects: At present, gold has fallen below the trend line support. In the short term, we should focus on the battle for 3360. This point is not only the previous support-to-resistance level, but also the key signal for judging the trend reversal. If it cannot hold on to this position, the short trend will continue; if it recovers effectively, it may return to above 3400. Before losing the defensive line (the last starting and falling point) 3360-3362, the bears will still have the upper hand. It just so happens that the 4H lifeline is also in the 3360-3362 area. If the suppression is successful, the price will enter the 3362-3284 area from the lifeline to the lower track. The rebound layout of the US market operation is short-selling, with the target at 3340-3330, and further support at 3310-3300. If you agree with this view, or have a better idea, please leave a message in the comment area. I look forward to hearing different voices.

Gold prices are plummeting, is a bear market coming?🗞News side: 1. China and the United States hold talks on trade issues 2. India-Pakistan conflict escalates again 3. Geopolitical risks 📈Technical aspects: Today, gold surged to the 3410 line and then ushered in a sharp fall, with the lowest touching near the 3322 line. We also seized the opportunity to notify our VIPs to enter the market, and all VIP members made good gains. At present, gold is still following the news, and the fundamental influencing factors are relatively complicated. Retail investors who trade alone can easily get caught up in the recent gold fluctuations. The gold price fluctuated repeatedly around 3340. The European session focused on the conversion suppression of the 3350-3360 support area. The 4H Bollinger Bands showed a closing shape. If the gold price cannot stand above 3350, then the bulls need to be repaired in the short term before they can continue to rise. The European session focused on the 3350-3360 resistance above and the 3310-3300 support below. If you agree with this view, or have a better idea, please leave a message in the comment area.

Gold is expected to pull back, short gold!Fundamentals: Focus on the Fed's interest rate decision and Powell's speech; I think the Fed will keep the interest rate decision unchanged this time, at least it will not announce a rate cut this time, which may suppress the gold market; Technical aspects: Before the Fed's interest rate decision, gold is currently in a volatile state. However, relatively speaking, it is currently in a volatile and bearish state, with short-term resistance in the 3395-3405 area; and gold has repeatedly tested the 3370-3360 below during the retracement process. After multiple tests, gold may be more likely to break through this support area; the key support below is in the 3360-3350 area, followed by the 3320-3310 area. Trading strategy: Consider shorting gold in the 3395-3405 area, TP: 3370-3360

BCHUSD getting ready for gainsHello traders, this is a monthly chart - to keep things really simple. For the last 2 years BCH price has been "climbing stairs". These "stairs" are based on important levels dating 6 years back (green lines). Price action from Q2 of 2021 up until now has been creating a 'cup and handle' pattern. Handle has beatifully reversed from support level, RSI has found support at 50 level (also important level). This seems a good entry point to me, with target price for profit taking at 1000-1100 USD. Trade is invalidated, if price dips below 265 USD (one step lower). It will take some time for this to play out - remember, it is a monthly chart. This is not a financial advice, trade at your own risk.

CadChf daily bias confirmedGood day traders, I’m back with CadChf but this one is special cause it provides us a clean setup where I will get an opportunity to explain some of ICT concepts that I look for and have made me the trader I am today but I’m not here to talk about Michael!! Just his thoughts behind this type of setup. Well my excitement is that this setup is happening on the daily timeframe so hopefully it’ll be much more understandable. First let’s start with some tape reading on the left hand side we can see that price has been bearish and have reason to believe that price has bottomed as we can see that price left a low only to later take out creating a new one than made a run higher shifting structure on the lower TF’s but here on the daily what price did was leave the first presented FVG which you can see on the chart I have marked it. Back to the tape, if you take a closer look at that F.PFVG you’ll see that price only touch the upper quarter of the level and price made a move higher. Here why I said this one was special👂 ICT teaches how to look at price from a naked eye just by dividing gaps, FVG and OB’s and more.. by 4 quarters and FIB retrace works wonders here 0,25,50,75,100. 50 being the midpoint. Price from experience since paying attention to details always comes for the F.PFVG midpoint ATLEAST!🔊 If you look at the chart again you’ll see a red arrow pointing to that wick’cosidered a gap’, now if we consider that wick a gap than we gonna treat it as one. If you take you FIB and get the levels you’ll see price was a few pips shy of the midpoint of that gap!!👂 Our narrative than becomes…we wanna see price reach the midpoint of that wick considered a gap. Than we gonna shoot down if we can just get to that midpoint 🤞🏾 Because we cannot I repeat we cannot trust price, we can expect it to disrespect that buyside but not close higher 🛑✋, our draw on liquidity is the one below. Please study this setup carefully 🙏🏽🙏🏽

AUD/USD Looks Set for a PullbackThe V-bottom on AUD/USD certainly delivered for bulls, considering its low was printed amid a flurry of panicked headlines with the Aussie was on the brink of falling below 59c. But we're yet to see a pullback, even though it has been teasing one for a few weeks. But given AUD/USD formed its most bearish day since April 4 on Wednesday, with a bearish engulfing candle which saw a false break of 65c before closing beneath its 200-day SMA, perhaps a pullback is imminent. Also note the bearish divergence on the RSI (2). Bears could seek to fade into moves towards the 200-day SMA, and retain a bearish bias while prices remain beneath Wednesday's high. A retest of the April VPOC at 0.6371 seems feasible, and a break beneath the 0.6344 low assumes a much larger correction is underway. Matt Simpson, Market Analyst at City Index and Forex.com

Gold fluctuates in a narrow range ahead of the Fed rate🗞News side: 1. The situation between India and Pakistan escalates 2. China is willing to engage with the US, and the situation has eased 📈Technical aspects: The price of gold fell sharply after the market opened today, once falling to around 3360. Currently, gold is oscillating slightly between 3375-3390. The market has no clear trading direction for the time being. Gold is not expected to change much before the Federal Reserve interest rate is announced. Today, gold prices have continuously tested the lower support 3370-3360, and the upper short-term resistance is focused on the 3390-3400 line. We maintain shock treatment for short-term trading. The focus will be on today’s Fed interest rate issues and talks between China and the United States. If you agree with this view, or have a better idea, please leave a message in the comment area.

Simple Break of Structure BoS Trading Strategy Explained One of the best and reliable strategies to trade break of structure BoS is to apply multiple time frame analysis. In this article, I will teach you my break of structure gold forex trading strategy. You will get a complete step-by-step guide with examples. Let's start with a quick theory and let me explain to you what is break of structure BoS in Smart Money Concept SMC trading. In a bullish trend, break of structure BoS is an important event that signifies a continuation of an uptrend. It is based on a violation and a candle close above the level of the last higher high (HH). After a breakout, the broken level becomes the first strong support for trend-following buying. Check multiple examples of confirmed breaks of structure BoS on GBPNZD forex pair on a weekly time frame. In a downtrend, Break of Structure BoS means a bearish trend continuation . Break of Structure is considered to be confirmed when a candle closes below the level of the last lower low (LL). The broken key level becomes the closest strong support for buying. That's the example of a healthy downtrend on USDJPY forex pair on a daily. Each break of structure BoS pushed the prices lower, providing a strong signal to sell. What newbie traders do incorrectly, they trade break of structure without a confirmation strategy, and it leads to substantial losses. Though GBPCHF is trading in a bullish trend and though each BoS provided a trend-following signal. The price retraced significantly lower below the broken structure before the growth resumed. When the price retests a broken structure after BoS in a bullish trend, start lower time frame analysis. If you identified a break of structure on a daily, analyze 4h/1h time frames. If on a 4H, then 30/15 minutes. After the price sets a new higher high with BoS in uptrend, it usually starts trading in a minor bearish trend on lower time frames. With our strategy, your signal to buy will be a retest of a broken structure and a consequent bullish Change of Character CHoCH . That will provide an accurate bullish signal. In a bearish trend, analyze the lower time frames after a retest of a broken structure. Your signal to sell will be a bearish Change of Character CHoCH. Look at a price action on EURCHF on a daily. We see a strong bullish trend and a confirmed Break of Structure BoS. According to the rules of our trading strategy, we start analyzing 4h/1h time frames after a retest of a broken level of the last Higher High. Our signal to buy is an intraday bullish CHoCH. We open a long trade after that with the stop loss below the intraday lows and take profit being a current high. That's how simple this strategy is. Multiple time frame analysis provides the extra level of security. Strong lower time frame confirmation substantially increases the win ratio of a trading setup. ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️ I am part of Trade Nation's Influencer program and receive a monthly fee for using their TradingView charts in my analysis.

The Long, Flat Road AheadWith the Federal Reserve’s rate decision in focus, I wanted to revise a previous idea that called for 6% on the 10 year T-bill, and provide a clearer read on what I’m seeing as the larger trend, which could provide important clues for the future of everything from monetary policy, to mortgage rates, and stocks. Starting with the 500R chart, I think we are seeing a clear flat correction form, with the current segment of the trend being Wave C of (B). In a flat correction, the endpoint of (B) should reach at least 100% of (A). It can also extend further or, in less common cases, only reach 90% of (A), however for the purposes of this idea I will assume the yield will retrace to the 100% level, which is just above 5%. If this were to play out, it would suggest incoming pressure to financial markets that will eventually subside, likely later in the year. Something else to look for is that if this (B) wave were to fit a Zig Zag structure, that would cause waves (A) and (B) to be of the same pattern, so we should anticipate an alternate pattern in (C), such as a flat, diagonal, or triangle. The question on everybody's mind at the moment is if/when the next interest rate cut is coming. For today's announcement, I expect there to be no surprises, which can also be supported by short term technicals. Looking at the 100R chart (right) and Daily chart (left) at the same time provides useful context. The yield bounced off the 0.618 retracement of the 4/4 - 4/11 rise (labeled as 0.382 on the fib extension) and should have upward momentum. On the contrary, the Daily chart shows resistance at what appears to be a more well-defined lower high, with imbalances below. On the 100R chart, I also have a box drawn to show the extremities of the 500R bar. I expect the yield to move higher without creating a new 500R bar - which means the max low would be just below 4.10%. A retracement to this level would lead to the yield hitting the middle line of the lower imbalance, which should be a key liquidity zone. From there, a move to the 1.618 extension would take the yield to the targeted 5%. Something else I look for when detecting reversals is divergence on the Fisher Transform oscillator. I have it on both charts, which suggests a near-term move to the downside. Divergences are even more reliable on the Range charts, so a slightly lower low on the yield occurring while Fisher makes a higher low would signal that yields are about to rise higher. Assuming we see similar action play out, this would support my fundamental prediction that FOMC will temporarily provide relief to the markets - possibly from there being no surprises or dovish comments on rate cuts. I would, however, expect this to be short lived. Since I am already calling for stocks to be near a major reversal level, I expect a sharp rise in bond yields to correspond with a more powerful sell off of stocks than what we saw in February-April. More likely catalysts could be hot CPI and/or failure of US/China trade talks. Since there isn't much left to comment about on the technical side of things, I'll leave it at that. I ultimately expect the yield to start moving to 5%, so if it starts moving higher from here (4.36% currently), it would invalidate the idea that this will make one more push lower this week. We'll see what happens. Thank you for reading and let me know what you think!

EUR/AUD: Decision Time at the 50DMAHow EUR/AUD interacts with the 50DMA in the near-term may offer a useful steer on directional risks over the medium-term. For now, it’s bounced off the level, finding buyers after the initial disappointment from China’s latest support measures. Still, the long topside wicks on the past two daily candles, coupled with increasingly bearish momentum, suggest downside risks are building. A break and close beneath the 50DMA would generate a setup where shorts could be established with a stop above for protection. 1.7113 or 1.7050 screen as targets. Alternatively, if the pair can hold the 50DMA, longs could be established with a stop beneath. 1.7700, 1.7865 or 1.8016 offer targets depending on the desired risk-reward. Good luck! DS

Gold is rising strongly. When can the bull market stop?🗞News side: 1. Trump announces renegotiation of USMCA 2. Pay attention to the Fed interest rate 📈Technical aspects: Looking at the daily chart, gold prices are breaking through important resistance levels and forming a strong upward trend. The price is currently trading around 3410, with strong suppression at 3420-3430 above the short-term. If the gold price encounters resistance and pressure, gold may once again experience a correction. Therefore, when the gold price touches the 325-3435 line, you can try to place a short position. In terms of operation, after two consecutive positive days on the technical front, the bulls will continue further. The current short-term support has moved up to the 3386 line. 3386 is the early resistance that turned into support after breaking through. This will be an important support level. At the same time, the 3270-3260 line support below is still strong. Continue to look at the 3430-3450 line. Therefore, in terms of operation, we mainly do long positions on callbacks and supplementary short positions on rebounds. If you agree with this view, or have a better idea, please leave a message in the comment area. I look forward to hearing different voices.

GbpAud now the “buyers” are within!Good day traders, we back with GBPAUD but before I go into it. Last week I took loss because I was buying GBPAUD but I lately found out I was way too early and my narrative has not changed at all. 1D- Daily TF we have a bearish structure and we know that once price shifts structure we want price to retest Atleast till the 0.705 of the OTE fib level to later continue to the Sellside liquidity. 4H- On this respective TF we are also in a bearish structure but I believe not for long because on the lower TF the shift higher has materialised, giving confirmation that we can start positioning ourselves for the up movement. 1H- ICT has a entry model(F.PFVG), on the hourly we saw prices giving back all of yesterday’s gains till it reach that level of first presented FVG and that’s what we gonna use as the level of interest.
