AUD/USD, Are Bull Set for a Breakout ?This analysis dates from the 3rd of May, this is in no way financial advice and should be taken into account in an objective way. Make your own opinion about it, don't take it for granted. - AUD/USD is trading around the 0.64000 area on the daily chart, it has been consolidating around that area since April 21st following a 7 consecutive bull rally. Where it is heading to next still needs to be determined. Nevertheless, there is a clear Expanding Triangle dating since the start of 2025. (see image attached),(13th January, 03rd of Feb, 09th of April for the lower bar and 27 January, 20th Feb, 17th March, 23rd of April for the upside channel). - This expanding triangle is similar to the one identified on NZD/USD which had an upside breakout and is now consolidating around the 0.59200. - Whether there is an upcoming BO on Aussie Dollar is still TBT, but odds slightly favor the bulls following the strong rally in the first half of April. Nevertheless, it has been trading in a trading range since April 21st and there are no confirmed breakout yet. Needs to be closely watched in the coming days!! If bulls manage to get consecutive strong bull bars, this could set the stage for an measured move up for at a minimum a test of the 0.66000 area (downside channel from Feb 2021 to Nov 2024 on the Monthly). - The Bear reversal case is harder to argue for, as they only managed to get one strong bear bar (04th April), with no follow through selling, The market has been trading for longer on the upper bracket of the extending triangle which means the market participant agree more on higher prices. Stay tuned for further updates !! Peace.

Nifty EOD Analysis – May 2, 2025 - Friday🟢 Nifty EOD Analysis – May 2, 2025 (Friday)🔴 Another day... tug-of-war between buyers and sellers 📊 Nifty Summary Another one-day tug-of-war between buyers and sellers. As usual, morning momentum — driven by buyers and short-covering — pushed the index into a bullish zone. However, profit booking and seller dominance dragged it back down, ultimately parking Nifty again in the 24,330 ~ 24,365 zone — now the 4th straight session closing within this narrow range. Nifty opened on a bullish note at 24,311 and launched into a swift rally, breaching multiple resistance zones and clocking a new high at 24,589 within the first hour. However, the enthusiasm faded quickly. Sellers stepped in aggressively, and all the major support levels crumbled one by one. What started as a breakout turned into a breakdown. The index drifted lower and spent the rest of the session stuck in a narrow zone of 24,330–24,365 — now for the fourth session in a row! The close at 24,346 reflects indecision and caution ahead of next week’s events. 📌 5 Min Time FrameChart 🕔 Intraday 5-Min Chart (Price Walkthrough) 🔹 Opened at 24,311 and rallied sharply to 24,589 — breaching multiple resistance zones. 🔹 Sellers took control and dragged the index back below 24,400. 🔹 Breakdown through all major support levels including PDH, CPR, and CDL. 🔹 Post-lunch session remained directionless between 24,330–24,365. 🔹 Fourth consecutive close inside this compression zone. 📌 75 Min Time FrameChart ⏱️ Intraday 75-Min Time Frame Chart 📐 First two candles formed a bullish setup, but the third candle completely reversed the gains, forming an Inside Bar breakdown trap. The remaining candles failed to break out of the previous range, with momentum fading. ⚠️ A breakout (or breakdown) from this compression is now imminent — keep your eyes on the next session for direction. 📌 Daily Time FrameChart 🕯️ Daily Time Frame Chart & Candle Breakdown 📈 Today’s Candle Type: Spinning Top with long upper wick 🟢 Open: 24,311.90 🔺 High: 24,589.15 🔻 Low: 24,238.50 🔚 Close: 24,346.70 📊 Change: +12.50 (+0.05%) 🧠 Know Your Candle: A Spinning Top reflects market indecision — the long wicks show strong attempts by both bulls and bears, but neither managed to dominate. Upper Shadow: 242.45 pts → Strong selling from highs Lower Shadow: 73.40 pts → Mild buying near lows Real Body: 34.80 pts → Modest positive close 🔍 Interpretation: Despite an early morning breakout, the close back in the congestion zone signals a lack of directional strength. The long upper wick reflects failure to hold higher ground — bias slightly tilting bearish unless this zone is broken with conviction. ⚔️ Gladiator Strategy Update 📌 Strategy Parameters: ATR: 317.21 IB Range: 270.30 IB Category: Medium IB Market Structure: Balanced 📊 Trade Summary: ✅ 1st Trade (Long): Triggered at 9:25 – Target Achieved (1:2 RR) ❌ 2nd Trade (Short): Triggered at 12:25 – SL Hit 🔮 What’s Next? The bias remains neutral to slightly bearish. Despite a strong upside in the first hour, the repeated failure to sustain above 24,400 and four closes within 24,330–24,365 suggest exhaustion. A breakout from this tight coil should give a clear move — wait for confirmation. 📌 Support & Resistance Levels 🔺 Resistance: 24,330 ~ 24,360 (Immediate hurdle) 24,400 (PDH) 24,457 24,480 ~ 24,540 24,589 (CDH) 24760 ~ 24,800 🔻 Support: 24,190 ~ 24,225 24,120 24,050 24,000 ~ 23,950 23,820 23,710 ~ 23,660 23,500 23,410 ~ 23,370 23,215 💬 Final Thoughts “Range traps continue to fool both sides — momentum without conviction is just noise.” Watch the compression zone — a genuine breakout or closing above 24,365 or breakdown below 24,225 could bring clarity. Until then, trade light and watch levels. ✏️ Disclaimer This is just my personal viewpoint. Always consult your financial advisor before taking any action.

NFLX Institutional Momentum Anchored in Multi-Decade ChannelNetflix (NFLX) has maintained a structurally intact long-term bullish momentum, consistently trading within a well-defined ascending channel dating back to the early 2000s. Price action has respected dynamic support and resistance levels within the channel, establishing a sequence of higher highs and higher lows that validate the primary uptrend. Following a breakout from a major resistance zone around 2023, the stock exhibited accelerated bullish momentum, aligning with internal demand structures and confirming institutional accumulation. Price is currently advancing toward the upper boundary of the long-term channel, with the projected target around 4,935, coinciding with channel confluence and historical extension levels. As long as the price action maintains structural integrity above the key anchored support near 1,154, the prevailing trend remains decisively bullish. A clean break and close above the upper bound of the channel may trigger an extended rally, while any rejection at this level would likely result in a cyclical mean reversion toward mid-channel equilibrium.

Gold trend layout in the evening after the release of NFP data🗞News side: 1. Pay attention to the recent trade situation and news about the Fed's interest rate cuts 2. Be wary of DXY trends 3. The situation of the Russian-Ukrainian war and the follow-up events of the India-Pakistan conflict 📈Technical aspects: The short orders in hand have already been profitable, and gold is now back near 3250, while the US dollar index has once again fallen by 100, reaching around 99.6, and the 1H moving average is currently showing signs of turning upward. The upper and lower shadow lines of the 1H K-line closing look like cross stars of equal length, which means that things may go wrong, and gold may rebound upwards in the short term. We can still focus on the resistance of 3260-3270 above, and further focus on the first-line resistance of 3280-3286, while the bottom has never been able to effectively break through the first-line support of 3240. If this week closes at 3240, then the market outlook next week will be conducive to long trading. Intraday operation suggestions 🎁SELL 3260-3270 🎁TP 3245-3240 🎁BUY 3230-3240 🎁TP 3260-3270 If you agree with this point of view, or you have a better idea, please leave a message in the comment area. I look forward to hearing different voices. OANDA:XAUUSD FX:XAUUSD FXOPEN:XAUUSD FOREXCOM:XAUUSD TVC:GOLD

NFP market, looking for opportunities to short goldFundamentals: Mainly focus on today's NFP market; Technical aspects: Gold rebounded near 3200 and has gradually rebounded to around 3265. This wave of rebound is not surprising. After all, I have been insisting on short-term long gold since yesterday, and I have also gained a good profit. As gold falls and breaks through many key supports, my expectations for the magnitude of this rebound are not high. In the short term, it will first face resistance in the 3270-3275 area, and secondly, it will face resistance in the 3285-3295 area. Moreover, the rebound and rise of gold before the NFP market is very confusing in itself. It is not ruled out that it is to pave the way for the sharp drop in the NFP market. Once gold falls again, it is likely to fall below 3200 and continue to around 3180. Trading strategy: 1. Consider shorting gold when it rebounds to 3270-3280, TP: 3240-3230; 2. Consider continuing to short gold when it rebounds to 3280-3290, TP is the same as above.

Nifty eyeing Trendline breakout amidst uncertainty. Amidst uncertainty on Geo-Political front Nifty gave up 242 points it had gained earlier in the day. Also it bounced 108 points from the day's low to close 12 points in positive at 24346.7 in a highly volatile Friday. Reliance remains start of the week after posting stellar results earlier in the week. The Trendline resistance zone between 24365 and 24589 remains difficult to conquer for Nifty. Once we get a closing above 24589 can the bulls try to pull Nifty further up towards 24910 and 25K+ levels. Incase the trend line resistance is not crossed successfully the support for Nifty remains at 24048, 23852 and 23343. As of now it looks that the level of 23343 which is the Mother line of Weekly candle chart (strong Support) can be breached only if there is flare up of incidents on the Border or elsewhere. The situation at Indo-Pak Border remains delicate and tense that might be one reason why investors did not carry long positions into the weekend and Nifty lost most of it's gains. Right now a lot depends on what happens between the 2 nations and surrounding region. Investment in large cap companies remains the safest option looking at the uncertainty. Even in the case of flare-up at the border these companies will be the first to bounce back after situation normalises.
