Candlestick Analysis

Still short goldBros, after gold continued to rebound to around 2893, it encountered resistance and fell back in this position area many times, which consumed the bullish momentum to a certain extent. This position area happens to be the 50% segmentation area from the high point of 2956 to the low point of 2832. So if gold fails to break through this area many times, it will hit the morale of the bulls to a certain extent. In addition, although gold rebounded to the 50% retracement position area in one go, which exceeded my expectations to a certain extent, it did not form a solid structural support after touching around 2832. The technical pattern of "single needle bottoming" alone cannot support gold to continue to rebound and break through the key resistance area. Therefore, on the technical level, gold still needs to continue to step back and confirm support. So in the short term, I am still willing to try to short gold. The upper resistance area is in the 2895-2905 zone, and the lower support area is in the 2875-2865 zone.Bros, profits are the ultimate goal in trading.

Nasdaq 100: 200DMA Showdown—Bounce or Breakdown?Nasdaq 100 futures haven’t closed below the 200-day moving average for nearly two years. However, after delivering a key bearish reversal candle on the daily timeframe—and with RSI (14) and MACD still flashing bearish momentum signals—that streak may soon come to an end. Given the market’s history of aggressively bouncing from the 200DMA, near-term price action around this key level could offer clues on longer-term directional risks. That view is reinforced by rising volumes accompanying the latest pullback, along with the proximity of minor horizontal support at 20,400—there are willing buyers around with a platform for a bullish reversal already in place. If the 200DMA holds firm throughout Tuesday, bulls could look to enter longs above with a stop beneath for protection. Potential upside targets include 21,000 and 21,420. Alternatively, if the price were to close beneath the 200DMA, the setup could be flipped with shorts initiated below with a stop above for protection. Buyers were lurking beneath 20000 in the runup to the U.S. Presidential election, making that a downside level of note. A tougher technical test awaits around 200 points lower where major uptrend support dating back to early 2023—essentially the start of the AI rally—comes into play. Good luck! DS

EURUSD Short Idea. Last week there were 3 strong bearish days on OANDA:EURUSD , leaving an imbalance behind and a Weekly bearish candle. Today, as I find it with a strong bullish movement from the open and London, I keep my eyes on shorts. This move might just end up being the weekly top wick, as nothing goes up or down in a straight line. I found an imbalance with, what I perceive as, liquidity nearby. With a red folder news coming up at 10:00am NY time, it might reach it. Let's wait and see. This is my thought and move for today. For now.

Healthcare Is Leading the Market This YearBelieve it or not, healthcare is the top performing sector so far in 2025. (It’s up about 9 percent, according to TradeStation data. That puts it fractionally ahead of financials.) Today’s chart of the SPDR Select Sector Health Care ETF highlights some potentially interesting patterns. First is the rally from January 3 (first Friday of the year) through February 5. XLV pulled back to retrace almost exactly half the advance, which may suggest direction is pointing upward. It has also been fighting potential resistance at its 200-day simple moving average (SMA), but closed above it on Friday. Speaking of Friday, the fund initially fell below Thursday’s low. It then bounced and cleared the previous session’s high. Is that bullish outside candle a sign of animal spirits? XLV also had its highest weekly close since early November. Finally, the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) has stayed above the 21-day EMA. Such price action may be consistent with a short-term uptrend. Standardized Performances for the ETF mentioned above: SPDR Select Sector Health Care ETF (XLV) 1-year: +4.62% 5-years: +48.15% 10-year: +114.50% (As of January 31, 2025) Exchange Traded Funds ("ETFs") are subject to management fees and other expenses.

Silver Embarking on Bullish Reversal?Silver’s bearish wedge breakout may have run its course, with Friday’s rebound from key support at $31.00—where the 50DMA and former resistance converge—suggesting a potential shift in direction. While MACD hasn’t confirmed it yet, RSI (14) has broken its week-long downtrend, hinting at a turn in momentum. With price action firming and Friday’s hammer candle flashing a bullish signal, the near-term bias has tilted higher. That case would strengthen further if silver adds to gains on Monday, completing a morning star pattern in the process. A quick glance at the chart shows silver’s tendency to gravitate toward big and half-big figures, putting $31.50, $32, $32.50, and $33 on the radar for those considering longs. Aside from the first, they screen as potential targets depending on risk tolerance. A stop beneath $31 offers protection against a reversal. Good luck! DS

BEARS ARE TRAPPED - $2990's SOONAs illustrated, Im visualizing a strong beginning to a historical bullish MARCH. On average in 15, 10, and 5 years, MARCH has been mostly bullish. To anticipate a bullish march, FEB must make sense and leave a few clues that could indicate a healthy setup for a potential buy opportunity. In this case, FEB made a natural correction toward the end of the month which makes total sense and it is completely appropriate and necessary to setup March for what COULD be next: A STRONG BULLISH MARCH that could potentially take the yellow metal to see $3,000 USD/Oz for its first time in history. The setup looks beautiful; with a bullish engulfing candle closing above previous candles, and such bounce having taken place below a major daily support and very near FEB's breaker block that served as a major support - trampoline level for the month (of February) to expand so strongly. Market has grabbed liquidity at a discount price level, below the 50% retracement of the expansive move of FEB; yet another positive sign of a potential continuation to the upside since: THE TREND IS YOUR FRIEND . I could be off in my timing by 1 week; maybe 2 AT MOST.. But there will be a continuation simply because the demand for gold just keeps rising with all the BS going on around the world + USA's insane tariffs THAT COME INTO EFFECT IN MARCH ... JOIN THE DOTS @!#$% ... -- GOOD LUCK!

ZB1! - End of February Analysis- Monthly bullish order block has held up well, supporting the bullish narrative of price drawing up to 120.00 - Monthly candle closed convincingly above the 3 month rejection block @ 117.08. - Monthly volume imbalance rests a little higher than where the monthly buyside liquidity pool is @ 120.25 – 121.23. Buyside rests @ 120.18 and this is the draw that I am looking forward to going into this months price action - October 2024’s monthly candle prints a SIBI and this is also a area to study. Many confluences in this area making it high probability for a bullish draw. Bullish delivery with bonds mean bearish delivery for US10Y. - Successful projection of February's draw on liquidity
