ASX 200 futures (SPI 200) stablising around 8200The ASX 200 futures market has fallen close to 5% from its all-time high, with 5 of the 7 candles since the top being bearish. However, the daily RSI (2) reached oversold on Friday, a bullish pinbar formed on Monday and a small bullish divergence is now forming on the daily and 1-hour chart. The pinbar low also found support at a weekly VPOC (volume point of control) and weekly S1 pivot. Given the selloff came in a relatively straight line, I cannot help but suspect at least a minor bounce is due. The near-term bias remains bullish while prices hold above last week’s low, and bulls could seek dips towards 8200 / 8191 VPOC area. 8300 and the weekly pivot point at 8345 could make viable upside targets for bulls.

WTI crude oil shows the potential for a bounceThis is a bit of a scrappy chart, but I still see the potential for a cheeky bounce. WTI crude oil is trying to snap a 4-week losing streak, by stalling around a 50% retracement level. Last week's candle was an inverted hammer, and the previous two weeks have both closed above the 50% level. A bullish divergence formed on the daily RSI (2) ahead price action finding support at the 200-day SMA and 200-day EMA. From here, the bias remains bullish while prices hold above last week's low. Bulls could seek dips towards the 200-day MAs, with a near-term upside target of $72. A break above which brings $74 into focus, near the monthly pivot point.

Gold is expected to continue to reach new highs of 2970-2980Dear Traders, Although gold has slightly retreated after touching around 2948, it is still holding above the 2935-2930 region, maintaining a strong bullish trend. Based on the current gold structure, gold has repeatedly failed to break the 2920-2925 support zone during its pullback, and has not formed a sustained downtrend. On one hand, this reflects strong buying support at lower levels; on the other hand, the pullback space is limited. Therefore, before any trend reversal, gold is likely to have another rally to test new highs. I expect that if gold manages to hold above the 2950-2955 region in this rally, it will likely attempt to reach the 2970-2980 zone. So, for short-term trading, leading into Thursday and Friday, we should primarily focus on going long on gold, with key support around the 2940-2930 region. If gold reaches the 2970-2980 region, we can then consider shorting it. Bros, are you optimistic about gold continuing to hit new highs? Do you know how to grasp the trading rhythm?

HCA Advances as Tech StumblesHealthcare is the leading sector so far this year, and some traders may see opportunity in hospital operator HCA Healthcare. Today’s weekly chart considers the all-time high above $410 in October, followed by a substantial pullback. Prices stabilized early this year around $290 (near the low from last April) before bouncing. The stock also based around an earlier peak from June 2023. Both of those points suggest new support has been established at old resistance. Second, last week saw a bullish inside candle, which may suggest HCA has stabilized after the fourth quarter’s big slide. Third, holding current levels or moving upward through Friday would produce the highest weekly close since November. Finally, sector rotation may be an issue with investors mostly shunning large-cap growth in favor of non-cyclical safe havens.

Go long crude oilDear Traders, Currently, crude oil continues its downward trend, though the pace of its decline has moderated, showing signs of bottoming out. Moreover, oil has now pulled back to the critical support zone around the 68 level. Should oil fail to decisively break below this support, a technical rebound could occur at any moment. Additionally, with oil’s relatively low valuation, it becomes increasingly attractive in the market. For short-term trades, I favor initiating long positions on crude oil, with an initial target of a rebound toward the 69.5-70.5 zone, which seems well within reach.Bros, profits are the ultimate goal in trading. Accumulating profits is what changes lives and destinies. Choosing wisely is far more important than just working hard.

Impact of yesterday’s Piercing Bar (Gold/USD 1D Chart)Impact of yesterday’s Piercing Bar (Gold/USD 1D Chart) 1. Price Action & Candlestick Pattern Analysis • The Piercing Line pattern on the daily chart is typically a bullish reversal signal, appearing after a downtrend. • However, today’s strong bearish follow-through (big red candle) invalidates the bullish intent of the pattern. This signals weakness in buyers’ strength. 2. Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) & Market Sentiment • Volume change is negative (-5.8%) with an increase in spread (74.95%), which means there’s a wider price range with less participation—suggesting weakness in demand. • Weak buying pressure across lower timeframes (1H, 4H, 8H) confirms that any bounce is likely to be short-lived. 3. Support & Resistance Zones • Key resistance at 2,956-2,972 (VWAP Upper Band & Liquidity High) acted as a rejection zone. • Key support at 2,888-2,891 (VWAP & VSA Liquidity Low). This is the level to watch for potential breakdown. 4. Momentum & Trend Analysis • The bearish momentum is strong across multiple timeframes (1H, 4H, 8H). • Price failed to hold above 2,932 VWAP, confirming further downside risk. 5. Order Flow & Market Strength • Negative Delta on footprint charts shows that sellers are dominating order flow. • Absorption at 2,899-2,900 suggests smart money is still distributing, not accumulating. Outlook & Trading Plan Bias: Bearish Outlook (Short Continuation Expected) • Entry: Sell Below 2,891 (Breakdown confirmation) • Stop Loss: 2,920 (Above rejection zone) • Take Profit 1: 2,863 (Liquidity Low) • Take Profit 2: 2,850-2,810 (VWAP Lower Band zones) • Confidence Level: 75% Justification for Trade: • The Piercing Line failed to reverse trend. • VWAP breakdown & weak volume structure confirm bearish continuation. • Momentum remains bearish, with weak demand signals. 👉 Conclusion: Gold remains bearish unless bulls reclaim 2,932-2,956. Short positions favored on breakdown.

What happened? The gold price fell to 2935 againAfter waking up, I found that the gold price stopped at 2635. It was strange that the price was still at 2953 when I was about to rest, and no reporter told me that there was an emergency in the middle. Why did the gold price fall so fast? I looked at the market. After the Asian market opened, the gold price was technically corrected and the pressure from the upper high was strong, so it was adjusted back to repair the rebound affected by the news in the New York market. The news hardly mentioned how badly things were going. On the contrary. Maybe this time the negotiations were effective. The negotiations are being revised one after another. If the peace talks come to an end, the gold price may see a large adjustment. It is expected that a few hundred points will be very easy. At present, there is still a need for further technical corrections, leaving aside the impact of news. In the short term, the gold price still wants to break the upward channel. The bears are still very strong, and the current gold price is at 2936. The hourly candlestick chart shows that if the point near 2925 falls below, there is a high probability that it will fall below 2900 in the short term. If there is no entity breaking this position in the short term, it will still be mainly consolidating at a high of 2930-2950. Therefore, buying low and selling high is the main option. Before the general direction is decided, it is difficult to see a unilateral sharp rise or fall in the market, so keep this trading strategy and idea.

BTC - Intraday Short.Just opened a short position on BTC, that was entered as the futures markets opened with a sudden influx of liquidity, moving into a 4H Bearish FVG, that should hold and price then turn to continue weekends bearish bias, and by extension, the overall bearish bias in play currently. Target is the hourly TF's SwL, which would be a good reversal area for price to print a positive week in crypto, however, if price doesn't show any signs of a reversal and a change in bias, we should anticipate the unmitigated Weekly BaG as our HTF target/draw on liquidity. Trade what we see, not what we think.
