Candlestick Analysis

Incoming 40% correction for FacebookOn the above 10 day chart price action has rallied 500% since October 2022. It is somewhat unfortunate to see so many long ideas at the moment. Motley Fool August 8th: “Here's how Meta could achieve a $2 trillion valuation within three years, and if it does, investors who buy the stock today could earn a 67% return.” Very misleading. Why bearish? Failed support. It is very clear to see, price action has broken through support and confirmed it as resistance. You can see this more clearly on the Log chart below. Regular bearish divergence. Multiple oscillators now print negative divergence with price action across a 50 day period. On the monthly chart below a hanging man candle print can be seen. Although the candle does not confirm until the end of the month there is a clear indication of buyer exhaustion. This is an important trend reversal indication. Is it possible price action continues to rise? Sure. Is it probable? No. Ww Log chart Monthly hanging man candlestick

Gold Breakdown – Bearish Momentum Taking Over?Gold (XAUUSD) has shown clear signs of weakness after multiple failed attempts to break above resistance. The descending trendline acted as a strong dynamic resistance, leading to a sharp sell-off. The projected path suggests further downside movement, with increasing bearish momentum. 📊 Technical Breakdown: ✅ Rejection at Resistance: Price failed to break above the key resistance area, confirming a bearish structure. ✅ Lower Highs Formation: A series of lower highs indicate sellers are gaining control. ✅ Trendline Holding Strong: The curved descending trendline has successfully rejected price action multiple times. ✅ Breakdown Underway: The recent drop confirms sellers stepping in aggressively. 📉 Possible Targets: 1️⃣ Next Key Support: $2,850 - $2,820 zone could act as a short-term demand area. 2️⃣ Deeper Selloff: If momentum persists, a drop toward $2,780 is on the table. 📢 Trading Plan: 🔹 Bearish Bias: Look for pullbacks toward resistance for potential short entries. 🔹 Bullish Reversal? Only a sustained break above $2,910 would shift the bias. ⚡ Do you see Gold dropping further or reversing soon? Comment below! #XAUUSD #Gold #Trading #TechnicalAnalysis #Forex #Metals

Gold is about to take off like a rocket, boldly go long gold!Bros, don't have any doubts about the rise of gold. Gold is just accumulating upward momentum during the shock process. Once the shock ends, gold will take off like a rocket. In the short term, gold has tested the support of the 2900-2890 area many times and has never fallen below, confirming that the support in this area is effective. In addition, the candle chart forms multiple long lower shadows in the short period, indicating that the gold price refuses to fall, which will attract more off-market funds to buy gold. In this market, the longer the gold shock time, the higher the increase, so please relax and let us look forward to the gold rocket taking off! The first target in the short term is 2920. Once gold stands above 2920, gold is bound to reach 2930, and it is even expected to continue to rise to 2955 Trading means that everything has results and everything has feedback. I have been committed to market trading and trading strategy sharing, striving to improve the winning rate of trading and maximize profits.

What to do after you missed a big price move (Example: EUR/USD)There was a big fast move in EUR/USD last week. The ‘European currencies’ did especially well versus the US dollar, including GBP/USD and USD/CHF as well as the ‘Skandies’ SEK/USD and NOK/USD. If you rode the move, then job done. If you did ride the move up, you might have taken full profits already - or maybe you are leaving a little bit of the position open to ride any continuation of the move. But, what to do if you missed it completely? Explosive moves in the market usually mean traders who were on the ‘losing’ side step out for a while, having lost confidence in their view. For example if you were bearish and the market makes a significant move higher - you’re probably going to be a lot less confident in your bearish view - but perhaps also not ready to take an opposite bullish view. The loss of sellers in the market can see the up-move continue with minimal pullback. This might suggest buying any small dips to ride the next leg higher, and emotionally it would offer some salvation to capture the second leg of the move even if you missed the first leg. However, what you are doing here is ‘chasing the market’. One trouble is that after a big move in the market, there is no definitive place to put your stop loss, except at the beginning of the move - which is now far away. That's a bad risk: reward. It is tempting to place a closer (more manageable) stop loss under lower timeframe levels of support - but then you find yourself trading an unknown strategy that requires different rules to follow because it is based on a lower timeframe. And indeed, after a sharp move in the market - there is still a chance for a sharp pullback to match. Why? Because buyers quickly take profits on their unexpected quick gains, which will create selling pressure into minimal support - because the next support level is far away. A sharp pullback would mean an opportunity to buy into the uptrend at a lower level, closer to the previous support. But then the flipside of the sharp pullback is that it raises questions over the sustainability of the initial move. Probably the biggest takeaway here is not to think about this ‘explosive’ move in isolation. Instead of forcing a trade, consider: 1. Waiting for the right setup in the same market. If your strategy is based on structured breakouts, wait for the next clean consolidation or pattern before re-engaging. A big move often leads to a new setup—but forcing a trade in the middle of a volatile move isn’t a strategy, it’s FOMO. 2. Looking at uncorrelated markets. Just because EUR/USD already made a big move doesn’t mean you have to trade it now. If you want to be in at the start of a move, shift focus to another market that hasn’t yet made its move. 3. Sticking to your edge. If your strategy works over hundreds of trades, don’t abandon it just because one market moved without you. The next opportunity will come—if not in this market, then in another. Again, the best trades don’t come from reacting to what already happened, but from positioning for what’s about to happen. If you missed the move, accept it, reset, and wait for the next high-quality setup—whether in the same market or somewhere else.

Buy gold aggressively and grab bargains!Bros, I have just clearly pointed out in the last article that gold will continue to rise after repeatedly testing and confirming the support of the 2900-2890 zone. I expect gold to at least test the 2920-2930 area again, and once gold stands above 2920, it will inevitably break through 2930 and even hopefully reach the previous high of 2955 again. So brothers, gold falling back to the 2900-2890 zone is a good time for us to pick up bargains. I have picked up a lot of bargains in this zone, have you picked them up?

ETH → Gearing Up for $10,000!? Or $1,200? Let's Answer.Ethereum finally fell into my buy zone this past week and I was able to buy with an average price of $2,185.18. This is a target I've been watching for months in anticipation. The best part is that it may go lower! How do we trade this? 🤔 ETH has landed on a key support area of $2,100 and is now flirting with falling to the .236 Fib level at $1,800. A final target would be around $1,500 which brings us back into the bear market range. ETH formed a triple top over the course of 2024 and as expected, it pulled back hard with the alt market. Bitcoin Dominance has been in a bull trend since the last cycle and hasn't shown any signs of weakness yet. Currently at 62%, it could jump up to 70% easily. Until it drops, ETH and the alts are going to remain bleeding out. I'm targeting the previous all-time high for a first profit target, around $4,800. Whether I take profits at that level depends on the price action leading up to it. If we get a strong push with strong candle closes leading up to that price, I'll likely hang on. Otherwise, I may take 25% of my position off the table and look for a potential re-entry. Final target price is $6,750, just below the 1.618 Fib level. This level also corresponds with a measured move target if the price attempts $4,000, pulls back to the 3-Year Support, then moves up again. I believe $10,000 ETH is absolutely possible for this run, but given how slumpy the alt market is, I don't see that probability being as high as the previous high of $7,000. This is why I'm taking my profits before that 1.618 Fib level is hit. 💡 Trade Idea 💡 Long Entry: $2,185.18 🟥 Stop Loss: $700 ✅ Take Profit #1: $4,800 ✅ Take Profit #2: $6,750 ⚖️ Risk/Reward Ratio: 1:3 🔑 Key Takeaways 🔑 1. 2024 Triple top led to a retrace down to the 2023 range. 2. First buy at $2,185.18, potential buy at $1,800 and $1,500 3. Stop loss at $700 below the 2022 bear market low 4. Holding the position until the previous all-time high around $4,850 where the first take profit waits. $6,750 is the second take profit just before the 1.618 fib level 5. Weekly RSI is near 34.00 and below the Moving Average. This is a good level to buy. 💰 Trading Tip 💰 Ascending Wedges signal an increased probability of a bear breakout. Combined with three pushes up in a bull trend and strong sell bars (candles with large wicks on their tops), creates conditions where a counter-trend trade is reasonable. ⚠️ Risk Warning! ⚠️ Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Buy gold and wait for a breakoutBros, the recent rise and fall of gold has not continued, and the overall price is still fluctuating widely in the 2930-2895 area. After the fierce game between the long and short sides, there is not enough momentum to support the structural breakthrough of gold. However, according to the current structural trend, gold has repeatedly tested the area around 2920-2930 and has been effectively supported at 2890-2900. Overall, the probability of gold breaking upward is greater. Then in short-term trading, we can temporarily go long on gold in the 2905-2985 area, and first see whether gold can stand above 2920. If gold stands above 2920 for a long time, then gold will definitely break through 2930 and still have the opportunity to test the previous high area near 2955. Trading means that everything has results and everything has feedback.

potential NASDAQ bearish reversal in the makingThe Nasdaq appears to be showing signs of a bearish reversal as technical and macroeconomic factors align against further upside. After a strong rally, the index is encountering key resistance, prompting concerns among traders about the sustainability of the recent gains. A pinbar candlestick pattern has emerged, signaling potential downside as buyers fail to sustain momentum. Historically, such formations indicate a rejection of higher prices, often leading to further declines. Additionally, selling pressure on rallies suggests that market participants are taking profits rather than betting on continued strength. From a momentum perspective, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is beginning to roll over, hinting at a potential shift in trend. If this bearish momentum continues, the Nasdaq could face increased selling pressure in the coming sessions. Beyond technicals, fundamental factors are adding to the uncertainty. The announcement of new tariffs under former President Donald Trump’s trade policies is weighing on market sentiment. Moreover, while Federal Reserve rate cuts are traditionally viewed as bullish, historical data suggests that in some cases, they coincide with economic slowdowns, leading to weaker market conditions. Looking at key downside levels, support can be found at 18,400, where buyers might attempt to stabilize the market. A break below this level could accelerate losses toward 16,500, a critical zone where stronger buying interest may emerge. Traders should closely monitor price action and market reactions at these levels. Confirmation of bearish signals and continued weakness in bullish sentiment could pave the way for a more extended correction. Caution is advised, with risk management strategies essential for navigating the potential downturn.

MarketBreakdown | EURUSD, USDCHF, EURAUD, US30 Here are the updates & outlook for multiple instruments in my watch list. 1️⃣ #EURUSD weekly time frame 🇪🇺🇺🇸 After multiple attempts to violate a key daily horizontal resistance, EURUSD was rejected. It looks like the underlined blue area will keep being a strong supply area. Probabilities will be high to see a pullback from that. 2️⃣ #USDCHF daily time frame 🇺🇸🇨🇭 The price reached a significant daily demand cluster on Friday. That zone concentrates huge buying volumes. I think that the pair is going to start a correctional movement soon. 3️⃣ #EURAUD weekly time frame 🇪🇺🇦🇺 The market did not manage to break a key daily horizontal resistance level. We see a strong bearish pressure after the market opening today. Chances are high that the market will continue falling. 4️⃣ #US30 1 hour time frame 🇬🇧🇨🇦 I see a nice gap down opening. With a high probability, it is going to be filled soon. Expect an intraday bullish movement. Do you agree with my market breakdown? ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️
