Candlestick Analysis

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.

May 6, 2025 - EURUSD Sell📉 Bias: Bearish | Risk: 0.5% (+0.5% potential add-on) | 🎯 Targets: 1:3 (75% off), final TP > 1:8 🧠 Reasoning: Price reacted from Daily Orderblock, broke structure on 15m ⛓️. Refined entry from 15m OB → 5m OB for more precision on the tap entry🎯. 2x Asia lows below = high-probability targets 🔻. Looking to add 0.5% if 1m BOS + retracement OB confirm. ⚠️ Note: There’s unmitigated Asia High & 15m OB above, but too far to affect today’s bearish idea.

Long positions in the US market remain the main trend🗞News side: 1. The “demand shock” of the Trump administration’s tariffs on the global economy 2. The United States rejected Japan’s request for a comprehensive exemption from 10% reciprocal tariffs and country-specific tariffs in recent negotiations. 3. The conflict between Israel and the Houthis 📈Technical aspects: The 4H golden moving average spreads upward, the MACD golden cross opens upward, and the 4H overall bullish trend is seen. Gold price encountered resistance at 3386 in the morning of the Asian session. This point can be used as a reference in suppressing the market outlook. If this resistance is effectively broken through, bulls are expected to continue to work towards the 3400 first-line mark above. The daily chart is positive, and the K-line combination is relatively strong. The US market is expected to break through 3386 and reach the space above 3400; the SMA10 moving average of 3370 continues to be bullish as the primary support, with strong resistance to 3400. Even if the price of gold in the US market rises and falls, the middle track of the Bollinger Bands still has good support. On the whole, we mainly focus on long positions in short-term trading. We can consider the 3370-3380 layout to go long, with the target looking towards 3400-3410 above. If you agree with this view, or have a better idea, please leave a message in the comment area.

Nifty Analysis EOD - May 6, 2025 - Tuesday🟢Nifty Analysis EOD - May 6, 2025 - Tuesday 🔴 📌 Opening Mood: A deceptive start near resistance—buyers had a moment, but bears owned the day. 📊 Nifty Summary: Nifty opened at 24,509, precisely at the psychological and structural resistance zone. The first candle itself (O=H) reflected immediate selling pressure, and the index slid quickly, dropping 140+ points in the first hour. It tested the support zone around 24,330 ~ 24,365, which had earlier acted as resistance—a polarity zone now holding as support. Despite multiple attempts, Nifty couldn’t break back above the upper consolidation band (around 24,400–24,410). For most of the day, it traded in a tight 40–50 point range and eventually settled near the lower end of that range at 24,379.60, while intraday close came in at 24,331.80. ⏱ Intraday Walk (5-min Time Frame Highlights): 🔻 First hour: Quick 140-point drop straight into support 🔄 10:30 AM–2:50 PM: Multiple bounce-back attempts failed at 24,400 and 24350 🧊 3:00 PM–3:30 PM: High volatility zone, test both sides of the range and the day ends with a new low. 🔒 Close: Near day’s low—weak handoff for next session 🧭 Daily Candle Breakdown 📌 Today’s Candle Type: Strong Bearish Candle 📖 Know How of Candle Type: This candle type signals strong seller dominance. The real body is wide with almost no upper wick, implying bears controlled the day from start to end. Appears frequently after a failed attempt to break resistance. 📌 Today’s OHLC: Open: 24,500.75 High: 24,509.65 Low: 24,331.80 Close: 24,379.60 Change: –81.55 (–0.33%) 📐 Candle Structure: 🔹 Real Body: 121.15 points → Strong Red Body (Bearish Control) 🔹 Upper Wick: 8.90 points → No meaningful buying (Daily TF, Intraday No Wick) 🔹 Lower Wick: 47.80 points → Slight pullback, but bears still dominate(Daily TF) 📌 Interpretation: Bears were in control from the opening tick The candle sits near the bottom of the day’s range Comes after a bullish candle at resistance → Potential short-term reversal signal Watch for confirmation below 24,330 to trigger an extended downside ⚔️ Gladiator Strategy Update 📌 Strategy Parameters: ATR: 290.90 IB Range: 129.85 IB Category: Medium IB Market Structure: Balanced 📌 Trade Highlights: 🔹 Trade Count: 1 ✅ Long Trigger @ 11:25 AM → Minor profit as Trade Time Exit Trigger 🔮 What’s Next? 🟥 Short bias: Only below 24,330 with conviction 🟩 Long bias: Only if the price crosses and sustains above 24,460 ~ 24,490 ⚠️ Between these levels: Avoid directional bets. Look for scalping setups only. 🔍 Support & Resistance Levels 📌 Resistance Zones: 24,400 ~ 24,420 (Immediate hurdle) 24,480 ~ 24,530 (Key zone with 24,500 psychological level) 24,590 24760~24,800 📌 Support Zones: 24,365 ~ 24,330 (Immediate support) 24,290 24,245 ~ 24,240 24,188 24,050 24,000 ~ 23,950 23,820 23,710 ~ 23,660 🧠 Final Thoughts "In tight ranges, patience is not just a virtue—it’s a strategy. Let the levels do the talking." ✏️ Disclaimer This is just my personal viewpoint. Always consult your financial advisor before taking any action.

This signifies more push to the downside from the weekly perspectives I'm anticipating the previous weekly low to be the first draw on Liquidity 🧲 On the daily timeframe we have a break of structure from 1.33044 to the downside and the QML level 1.33784 whic6also aligns within an imbalance on the H4 would be used for sell continuation after the short reversal that happens.

GOLD (XAUUSD): Your Plan to Buy The recent fundamentals pumped Gold prices again. The market is currently trading above a significant daily resistance. To confirm a validity of a breakout and to avoid a trap, I suggest paying close attention to a minor horizontal range on a 4H time frame. Your signal to buy will be a 4H candle close above 3388. It will confirm a breakout and increase the chances that the price will go up. Goal will be 3435 ❤️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.

24589 proving to be a difficult resistance to conquerNifty once again tried to sustain the levels above 24500 but again faced resistance and pulled back. Amidst the drums of Ind-Pak war beating and ongoing tariff war the investors are afraid to take seriously long positions. Also we will have a US Fed rate decision coming up which is also adding to the investor anxiety. Mid and Small cap took the maximum brunt today due to all these factors. The Nifty resistance at 24589 is proving very difficult to be conquered with all the noise going around. Nifty resistance levels remain at 24509 and 24589 if we get a closing above 24589 Nifty can easily move for war 24813, and 25162. Supports for Nifty on the down side are at 24365, 24048, 23852 and the zone between 23515 (Mother line) and 23461 (Father line). If we get a closing below 23461, Nifty can again fall to the levels of 22802, 22148 or even 21625. (That is in adverse geo-political developments). A lot right now depends on Macro factors affecting the index and overall situation on Geo-Political front.

Buy gold, it may continue to rise to 3400-3420!Fundamentals: Focus on Trump and the Fed’s dynamics; Technical aspects: Gold rose to the 3380 area as expected, and even exceeded expectations to 3387. Since gold rebounded near 3222, the willingness to retreat during the rebound was not strong. The lows were constantly raised, and the highs gradually broke upward, which was a very typical shock rise pattern. As the center of gravity of gold shifted upward, the short-term resistance moved up to the 3350-3340 area. Once gold hits this position and rebounds, it may continue to rise to the 3400-3420 area. Trading strategy: Consider the opportunity to go long on gold after gold retreats to the 3350-3340 area, TP: 3380

DXY Bullish scenario (Daily)Dxy is still respecting the market maker buy model idea. Monday traded inside friday range. Today (Tuesday) price already traded above monday previous high signaling bullish momentum and a higher probability to trade also above friday high. Right now price is consolidating between a daily bullish fair value gap and a bearish daily volume imbalance. With the information we have, price is likelly to shop arround with no clear direction before FOMC. For the current week price is still in the manipulation phase. Traders will find higher probability trades after FOMC.

Gold returns to the bull market as expected, follow-up layout🗞News side: 1. The “demand shock” of the Trump administration’s tariffs on the global economy 2. The United States rejected Japan’s request for a comprehensive exemption from 10% reciprocal tariffs and country-specific tariffs in recent negotiations. 3. The conflict between Israel and the Houthis 📈Technical aspects: From a technical point of view, the 4H gold bulls are once again making an impact. At the top, we focus on the short-term suppression of the 3380-3390 line, focusing on the suppression of the 3400 line. Below, we focus on the short-term support of the 3350 line, and the important first-line support of 3335-3340. In terms of operation, we mainly go long by stepping back on 3350-3360, and the target is temporarily looking at 3380-3390. In the middle position, we should watch more and move less, pursue orders cautiously, and wait patiently for key points to enter the market.

Buy gold, it will continue to 3350!Fundamentals: Focus on Trump and the Fed; Technical aspects: Currently, gold is moving in a fluctuating upward manner, and in the short term, the effective double bottom structure constructed in the area around 3200 and 3220 supports the continued upward movement of gold. In the short term, gold is not very willing to fall, and it has not even been able to fall back below 3300 again. If gold breaks through the 3330-3335 area during the rebound, then gold will inevitably continue to rise to the area around 3350, or even the area around 3380. Trading strategy: If gold retreats next, we will mainly focus on the opportunity to go long on gold in the 3315-3305 area; TP: 3350

Gold’s Got Its Groove Back: Morning Star Lights the Way to $3500Gold delivered a powerful signal pointing to a resumption of the bullish trend, completing a morning star pattern that saw it break out of the falling wedge it had been trading over the past fortnight. It would have been nice to catch the initial move, but all is not lost after the price broke above $3367 on Tuesday. The price has run hard, so I’m reluctant to chase the move. But if we see a pullback and bounce from $3367, it would generate a bullish setup where longs could be established above the level with a stop beneath for protection. The obvious trade target would be the record high of $3500 set in April. If the price were to reverse below $3367 and stay there, the setup would be invalidated. Good luck! DS
