Gold Technical Expert Review - 3 May 2025 XAUUSD 1H Forecast
✅ Structure Summary:
The market is in a clear bearish trend, forming lower highs and lower lows.
Price has tapped into a validated 1H LQ Close zone, showing early signs of a bullish reaction.
A large untouched supply zone remains above, possibly acting as a future trap.
🔮 Price Forecast:
📈 Short-Term Bullish Scenario:
Price could bounce from the current LQ Close zone and rally toward the descending trendline.
It may interact with local liquidity pools or minor supply zones on the way — Phase 1 inducement in progress.
📉 Main Bearish Scenario:
Upon reaching the descending trendline or supply area, price could reverse again following the Phase 2 inducement, aligning with the broader bearish structure.
Downside targets include the 3180 region, and potentially lower toward 3150 if momentum increases

USDCAD Technical Expert Review - 3 May 2025✅ Market Structure Summary:
The market entered a distribution phase, clearly forming equal highs and a head & shoulders–like pattern.
After breaking out of the descending wedge, price surged upward to tap the upper supply zone (gray), sweeping liquidity before dropping sharply.
We now see price reacting to a mid-demand zone, with another deeper demand zone resting below.
📍 Key Technical Zones:
🔹 Upper Gray Supply Zone:
This zone was tapped after liquidity was grabbed from the equal highs.
Strong bearish rejection with impulse candles confirms it as a valid shorting zone.
It remains active and could act as a trap if retested without proper bullish structure.
🔹 Mid-Demand Zone (current reaction point):
Price is currently reacting from this area.
Initial bullish reaction is visible, but the reaction isn't strong enough yet to confirm reversal.
Weak buyer pressure (wicky candles) suggests vulnerability.
🔹 Lower Demand Zone (main target if breakdown occurs):
If the current zone fails, price will likely drop toward this deeper demand block, which hasn't been mitigated yet.
This area could offer a more solid foundation for a bullish reversal.
🔮 Forecast Scenarios:
📉 Primary Bearish Scenario:
If price fails to create higher highs from the current mid-demand zone:
Expect a continuation down toward the lower gray demand zone.
If that breaks, price could target the green higher-timeframe demand around 1.37200.
📈 Alternative Bullish Scenario:
If price builds structure and forms a higher high from this zone:
A short-term rally back toward the upper supply zone is possible.
However, without a strong breakout, that area still holds risk for another sell-off.
USDJPY Technical Expert Review - 3 May 2025🔮 USDJPY Price Forecast – 1H Timeframe
📈 Bullish Scenario:
Price may bounce from the LPP Inducement + HL (Higher Low) area and push upward.
The first target would be the upper blue LQ Close zone, which is still untouched.
If we observe weakness or an “M-shaped” reaction within that blue zone, a sell setup could be valid (inducement trap).
However, if price breaks and closes above the blue zone, further bullish continuation is expected — possibly toward the higher green liquidity zone around 147+.
📉 Bearish Scenario:
If the HL (blue zone) fails and breaks down, forming a new Lower Low (LL),
Then we can expect price to retrace toward the lower green demand zone, around 141.000, which aligns with higher timeframe liquidity and unmitigated demand.
GBPUSD Technical Expert Review - 3 May 2025🔮 Price Forecast (Main Scenarios)
📈 Bullish Scenario (if price reacts from current level):
Price may bounce from the current 1H LQ Close zone (gray).
It could rally toward the upper 1H LQ Close zone (purple) to retest it and potentially trigger Phase 2 Inducement.
🎯 First target: 1.33150
🎯 Second target: 1.33450 (just below the 4H LQ Close)
📉 Bearish Scenario (if the current zone breaks):
A clean close below 1.32500 could open the path toward the 4H LQ Close zone.
🧲 Expect potential reversal around 1.31600–1.31800 (major buy zone).
EURUSD Technical Expert Review - 3 May 2025📊 Comprehensive Analysis – Multi-Layered Setup Based on LQ Close + Classic Liquidity Manipulation
✅ 1. Proper Reaction to 8H LQ Close Zone
Price reacted accurately to the 8-hour LQ Close zone. However, the 40% level of the ATI candle remains untouched. If price revisits this area, we can expect a potential sell setup, especially if we get confirmation through structure breaks, engulfing candles, or ATI invalidation.
🧠 2. Manipulation of Classic Liquidity Patterns (Trendline, Channel, Triangle)
We see a clean sweep of all classic retail patterns – trendlines, ascending/descending channels, and triangle breakouts. These acted as liquidity traps and were perfectly manipulated, representing Phase 1 and 2 inducements, similar to concepts in ICT and Vector strategies.
📈 3. Bullish Move From 1H LQ Close to Black Trendline
From the 1H LQ Close zone, we had a bullish impulse that pushed price toward the black trendline. However, this move failed to sustain due to a sharp drop caused by news, indicating it might have been a fakeout or part of an incomplete internal structure.
⚠️ 4. Suicide Level Below = Potential for Short-Term Reaction
There’s a key “suicide level” at the bottom of the chart – a high-probability zone for a quick bullish reaction. If price shows impulsive behavior or liquidity sweeps on lower timeframes, this level could push price back up to the 1H LQ Close zone.
🔁 5. If Suicide Level Fails → Watch for 4H LQ Close Zone to Act as Reversal Point
If the suicide level doesn't hold, we shift focus to the 4H LQ Close zone, which could act as a major reversal area. Look for bullish confirmations like order blocks, strong engulfing candles, or liquidity voids forming around that area.
🎯 Final Note:
This chart is a perfect example of how LQ Close zones across multiple timeframes, paired with classic liquidity traps and smart price action confirmation, can guide high-quality setups in the Phantom Pips style.
Right now, we’re waiting for a clear reaction from either:
The 40% ATI candle zone above → Sell opportunity
The 4H LQ Close zone below → Potential buy setup
DXY Technical Expert Review - 3 May 2025Weekly Price Reaction Expectations:
Overall, for this week, we expect a price reaction around the ATI candle zone, followed by another potential reaction near the upper LQCLOSE BOX area.
DXY Bullish Momentum Justification:
Additionally, since the LPP or investment liquidity has been consumed, the bullish momentum in DXY appears more justified.
