Crude Opportunity Part 1Previously, heads up about BTCUSD and it was pretty spot-on. Oddly enough, CRUDE OIL CL1! is next. For the first part, here we look at the marked time lines, and the effect after these time lines. 5 of the last 6 times, saw a bullish rally. Of these, 4 of the 5 occasions had the Rate of VolDiv (custom indicator) trend changed for an uptick. In essence, the current weekly Crude Oil Futures CL1! show a similar set up ready for a spike and rally for Crude Oil. No fundamental reason (yet) but the technicals are projecting a billish scenario based on the technical set up. Part 2 will look more in-depth and zoom into the recent time frame... Stay tuned if you are keen...

GOLD → Pressure from the bears. Why are we falling?FX:XAUUSD does not react to strong support levels. The bulls, despite the positive background for them, could not keep the defense above the key structure. Weak structure on the D1 timeframe. A complex structure is forming on the D1 indicating that the uptrend support is under pressure. That is, if this area is broken, there could be momentum in the market through capitulation. Fundamentally, the market is not reacting to the escalated situation in the middle east and eastern Europe, accepting what is happening at the moment. China has promised increased financial support for the economy and this could attract new capital into the gold market. Markets are likely to trade cautiously as they prepare for a series of labor market data from the US later this week. Resistance levels: 2637, 2648, 2664 Support levels: 2615, 2606, 2600 Technically, the price is inside the local ascending channel, but in the selling zone. Due to bearish pressure, the price may head down and test the 2600 area. But where to go from here? The reaction to the 2600 area after the retest will tell us. Regards R. Linda!

WTI Oil H4 | Falling to overlap supportWTI oil (USOIL) is falling towards an overlap support and could potentially bounce off this level to climb higher. Buy entry is at 72.65 which is an overlap support that aligns close to the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level. Stop loss is at 71.10 which is a level that lies underneath a pullback support and the 50.0% Fibonacci retracement level. Take profit is at 75.13 which is a pullback resistance.

XAGUSD - Silver, waiting for the start of the upward trend?!Silver is located between EMA200 and EMA50 in the 4-hour timeframe and is moving in its descending channel. If the decline continues, we can see a support limit. Stabilization of silver above the resistance range will provide us with the path of silver up to the supply zone, where we can sell in that range with a suitable risk reward. In 2025, it might be wiser to adopt a contrarian approach, as the upcoming year has the potential to be one of the most turbulent, especially in the commodities market. The return of Donald Trump as the President-elect of the United States brings the threat of disrupting global trade flows through the imposition of heavy tariffs on U.S. imports. With a Congress led by Republicans, there seems to be little to restrain him this time. Furthermore, there remains significant uncertainty regarding the economic trajectory of China, the world’s second-largest economy and the biggest buyer of commodities. Historically, the dollar tends to perform strongly in January and February. Interestingly, last month also saw a 2.6% rise in the DXY index, breaking a seven-year streak of December weakness. This performance suggests that macroeconomic factors and expectations around Trump’s policies were strong enough to counteract the usual seasonal drag. As the year begins with a positive phase for the dollar, any shift in the current narrative sustaining the dollar’s strength through the end of the year would require a significant change in economic dynamics. The U.S. dollar started 2025 with a slight dip but quickly resumed its upward trend, as the fundamental drivers of the U.S. economy remain intact. The Federal Reserve, adjusting its projections downward, indicated that there might only be two rate cuts in 2024. This stance has further widened the yield gap between the U.S. and other major economies, as central banks in other regions move towards more accommodative monetary policies. Kugler, a member of the Federal Reserve, recently stated that the U.S. economy ended 2024 in good shape, exhibiting solid growth. He noted that the Federal Reserve is likely to take its time before implementing future rate cuts and sees no urgency in this regard. Meanwhile, questions remain about whether inflationary pressures will continue to persist. Kugler also highlighted improvements in productivity and labor supply, which have played a key role in strengthening the economy. He emphasized that the labor market still appears stable, with the current unemployment rate remaining at historically low levels. Even as the labor market cools gradually, real wages remain elevated. Overall, while the labor market is slowly losing heat, it continues to demonstrate resilience. Similarly, the disinflation process is steadily progressing at a consistent pace.

Am I the only one who is waiting for a bearish trend for #gold?hello guys! let's analyze gold together! Double Top Formation: A double top has been identified near the $2,675-$2,680 level, signaling a potential reversal from the bullish trend. Broken Channel: The previous upward channel has been broken, indicating a shift in market structure and possible bearish momentum. Two Scenarios Outlined: First Scenario (Blue Path): The price may consolidate or retest the $2,630-$2,640 range before resuming its downward trend toward $2,578. Second Scenario (Red Path): A bullish retracement toward the $2,675-$2,680 resistance zone is possible, followed by a reversal and significant decline. Support and Resistance Levels: Resistance: $2,675-$2,680 (critical zone for the second scenario). Support: $2,629 (short-term) and $2,578 (major support). Outlook: The bias appears bearish due to the broken channel and the double-top pattern. Confirmation of either scenario depends on price action near the outlined key levels.

ZW | Wheat | InfoCBOT:ZW1! The Wheat Futures (ZW) market is currently in oversold territory across all timeframes. On the 30-minute chart, the RSI is below 10, a condition that is exceptionally rare and indicative of potential exhaustion in selling pressure. Analysis: Overall Trend: The overall trend remains bearish, as confirmed by the series of lower highs and lower lows visible on the chart. Expectation: Despite the bearish trend, I anticipate the possibility of a counter-rally from the current levels. However, there is a lesser probability of the price moving further down to test the next major support, which I have identified as the extreme pain point. Actionable Plan: Key Levels: The chart features clearly marked Bullish (530’4) and Bearish (527’4) lines. These serve as critical breakout zones. A break above 530’4 signals a safer entry for a long position, targeting the bullish retracement levels. A break below 527’4 confirms further downside momentum, justifying a short position, targeting the bearish support levels. Price Targets: Bearish Targets: Calculated based on support zones, with the immediate levels at 520’0 and 514’2. Bullish Targets: Based on Fibonacci retracement levels, which align precisely with key resistance areas. Conclusion: I recommend waiting for a confirmed breakout of either the Bullish Line (530’4) or the Bearish Line (527’4) before entering a position. This approach minimizes risk while capitalizing on the momentum toward clearly defined price targets.

Nat Gas: Trading the WeatherNYMEX: Micro Henry Hub Natural Gas Futures ( CME_MINI:MNQ1! ) On December 31, 2024, the lead contract of NYMEX Henry Hub Natural Gas futures closed at $3.6330 per MMBtu. This marked a strong gain of 44.5% year-over-year, making it the best performing active futures contract for the year. Nat Gas is one of the most actively traded commodities. According to CME Group: • Henry Hub booked record trading volume in 2024. Average daily volumes for futures and options were 566,000 and 242,000 contracts, respectively. • As of last Friday, Open Interests were 1,511,978 for futures and 775,176 for options. The Basic Natural gas is a leading energy source for global economy. While clean energy generates a lot of buzz these days, natural gas still carries the biggest load in power generation. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates U.S. electricity production at 4.18 trillion kilowatt-hours in 2023. • About 43.1% of the electricity was generated by natural gas. • Nuclear power contributed to 18.6%, while coal had a 16.2% share. • Combined, Renewables accounted for a 21.4% share, including 10.2% from Wind, 5.7% from Hydro, and 3.9% from Solar. The price of a commodity is determined by its supply and demand. In the case of electricity, it is hard to store while its demand is highly unpredictable. New storage technology is limited by capacity and high cost. With Nat Gas being the biggest energy source, unforeseen changes in power demand could send shock waves into the market. Weather factors, in particular temperature, have the biggest impact in power demand. • In the summer months, the biggest power usage is for air conditioning cooling. Cooling Degree Day (CDD) is the number of days in a month where the average daily temperature is above 68 degrees Fahrenheit. • In the winter months, the biggest power usage is for heating home and offices. Heating Degree Day (HDD) is the number of days in a month where the average daily temperature is below 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Energy traders deploy CDD/HDD analysis and weather forecast models to predict temperature trends, electricity demand and the subsequent natural gas use. The Weather Shocks On December 29, 2024, the Weather Co. and Atmospheric G2 released a weather forecast for January showing colder than average temperature in the East, specifically from Florida to Maine as well as certain parts of the Great Lakes. In a separate report, AccuWeather meteorologists said that the colder air could trigger a winter storm with substantial snow and ice for a significant portion of the month’s first half. They added that the drop will begin in the middle and latter part of next week. When the futures market opened the next day, the price of Henry Hub futures surged 20%, hitting a new 52-week high of $4.20. Earlier in the winter, Germany experienced the so-called “Dunkelflaute” with no wind and a clouded sky. This is the worst scenario for wind and solar power. As Germany is heavily reliant on renewable energy, when the weather fails to cooperate, its power supply drops by half, sending electricity prices sky high. The huge supply gap prompted energy companies to turn on gas-fueled backup power plants, pushing the Dutch TTF ( NYMEX:TTF1! ) natural gas contracts to a record high. At the time of this writing, severe winter storms are sweeping across the Central Plains in the U.S., bringing heavy snow, sleet, and frozen rain from Kansas to Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and Washington, D.C. Apart from the winter hazards, I expect higher power consumption to keep people warm from the below-average temperatures. Trading with Micro Henry Hub Futures Micro Henry Hub natural gas futures (MNG) offer smaller-sized versions of CME Group’s liquid benchmark Henry Hub futures (NG) contracts. The Micro futures have a contract size of 1,000 MMBtu, which is 1/10th of the standard contract. The Micro contracts allow traders to control a large contract value with a small amount of capital. With Friday settlement price of $3.354, each February contract (MNGG5) has a notional value of $3,354. Buying or selling one contract requires an initial margin of $366. Since its Monday high, Henry Hub prices have plunged 20%. Subsequent updated weather forecasts now predicted warmer trends for the Eastern US, which could curb heating demand for Nat Gas. Losses accelerated last Friday after the EIA reported that Nat Gas inventories for the week of December 27th fell -116 bcf, a smaller draw than expectations of -128 bcf. In my opinion, the draw was lower due to the reduced economic activity around the Christmas holiday. For the same token, we could see a smaller draw during the New Year. However, I consider this data seasonal outliners, rather than a longer-term trend. Global warming doesn’t necessarily mean warmer winters. Higher global temperature brings moisture from the ocean, with wetter atmosphere generating more extreme weather events. I expect winter temperature patterns to shift to much colder-than-normal, with cool anomalies poised to stick around key population centers deep into the winter. As we have seen in the past, unpredictable weather events could send large shocks to natural gas prices. With Micro Henry Hub contracts, traders could potentially realize sizable gains with a small capital requirement. Hypothetically, if the February prices move up 10% to $3.689 with lower temperature forecasts, the $0.3354 price gain would translate into $335.4 for a long futures position, given the contract size at 1,000 MMBtu. Using the initial margin of $366 as a cost base, the trade would produce a theoretical return of 99.6% (=335.4/366). The long futures position would lose money if Nat Gas prices continued to trend lower. Happy Trading.

World market forecast positive due to high demand for goldThe world gold price jumped by another $7 to $2,647 an ounce. According to market analyst Fawad Razaqzada of City Index, gold still faces many challenges in the short term, such as the strength of the greenback, rising bond yields, and weak demand from the Asian market. However, despite those challenges, the gold price target of $3,000 an ounce is still feasible. Any correction or consolidation in early 2025 could set the stage for another rally in the second half of the year. Ms. Nicky Shiels, Head of Metals Research and Strategy at MKS PAMP, expects gold prices to trade in a fairly wide range of $2,500 to $3,200 an ounce, with the precious metal largely dependent on the US Federal Reserve's (Fed) interest rate changes related to inflation. For now, investors still believe that a stronger US dollar and tighter monetary policy could create some headwinds for gold. However, gold remains an important asset in investors' portfolios this year. The trend of de-dollarization by central banks, complex and unpredictable geopolitics, global debt and investor demand... will ensure that gold is a safe asset diversification tool.

GOLD MARKET ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY - [January 06 - January 10]OANDA:XAUUSD are almost trading in a narrow range throughout the Christmas holiday and New Year 2025. Currently, gold prices have not yet escaped the triangle model of the H4 technical chart. Entering 2025, three important factors can shape the price of gold. First, the big event will take place on January 20 this year when Donald Trump takes office as US President. Mr. Trump is likely to put pressure on the FED to influence the interest rate environment. Second, Mr. Trump will heat up the trade war with other countries, especially with Canada, Mexico, Europe and China. This means economic growth could suffer and geopolitical instability could linger. Third, we are in a period where most investors will reallocate investment flows into their portfolios. As economic and political variables are gradually changing. In the long term, gold prices may continue to be influenced by the above factors. But in the short term this week, the market will focus on important US economic data, such as manufacturing and service PMI index; Employment indicators: ADP, NFP, unemployment rate... If US employment figures, especially NFP, increase stronger than expected, gold prices will be under pressure to adjust. On the contrary, if US employment figures continue to decline sharply, it will positively support gold prices. 📌Technically, from a short-term perspective this week, there are 2 resistance levels to pay attention to: the resistance level at 2685 and the round resistance level at 2600. In case the resistance level is broken, corresponding to the price breaking through the Downtrend line, the price will Gold will continue to maintain its upward trend to the 2720-2790 thresholds respectively. In the opposite case, if the gold price drops from the Uptrend line, we will see a scenario where the price drops back around the 2530 threshold. Notable technical levels are listed below. Support: 2,634 – 2,604 – 2,600USD Resistance: 2,664 – 2,693USD SELL XAUUSD PRICE 2686 - 2684⚡️ ↠↠ Stoploss 2690 BUY XAUUSD PRICE 2599 - 2601⚡️ ↠↠ Stoploss 2595

XAUUSD 6/1/25Coming into this week, we maintain a bullish bias on gold. Last week, we experienced a short-term shift to bearish, which was expected as we mentioned before the new year. Currently, we are focusing on the cluster of lows at the base of our most recent range. This is the area we are targeting for potential long trades this week. Orion is indicating that we need to align with the long bias, so we will follow this direction and monitor targets and entries accordingly. Note that we currently have only two targets above. If the market creates another high before dropping into the mentioned lows, we may have more than two targets to work with, requiring us to trade within those areas. Be mindful of the current structure. As mentioned in the EU analysis, we may form short-term lows to play off, which could make the lower areas less likely for the week’s initial move. As always, we wait for a low to be reached, then analyse the entry timeframe to determine if there’s an opportunity to participate. Trade safely and stick to your plan.

Can We Get +EV from EV? With stocks like FCX, sometimes the answer isn’t just about gold—it’s about finding the copper that holds everything together. While everyone scrambles for the gold nuggets in the mainstream Electric Vehicle (EV) market, you might be missing opportunities further upstream in the feeder streams. These are the overlooked areas that quietly power the whole operation. As I work on my 2025 guide to researching and finding hidden gems in this very market, I stumbled upon a curious situation that’s sometimes overlooked when researching a stock: a well-timed opportunity to combine deeper research with the possibility of an early position. What is that opportunity, you ask? Well, it’s all about timing and understanding the mechanics of dividends, coupled with an upcoming earnings catalyst. The Hidden Value in Copper Let’s face it—copper wire isn’t exactly the sexiest investment out there. But sometimes, the dressed-down stock has a greater long-term value precisely because it spans multiple industries. Copper isn’t just critical for EV motors and renewable energy—it’s a foundation material for infrastructure, electronics, and more. Enter Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FCX). This copper powerhouse caught my attention for two key reasons: 1. A dividend payout date approaching on Jan 15, offering a 1.6% yield. 2. An earnings report set for Jan 23, creating the potential for amplified movement shortly after the dividend window. Now, before you jump in, remember: this isn’t about chasing dividends or speculative hype. Instead, it’s an opportunity to observe, research, and learn. Here’s why FCX is a fascinating case study and what to watch for. Why FCX Is a Great Study 1. **Dividend Catalyst (Jan 15) - Watching the stock’s behavior leading up to and after the ex-dividend date could give insights into how investors value the dividend. - Track whether the stock trades with increased volume or volatility as traders position themselves to collect the dividend. 2. **Earnings Catalyst (Jan 23) - With earnings just a week after the ex-dividend date, you have a rare overlap of events that could amplify price movement. - Depending on sentiment, the stock could rebound from the ex-dividend price drop—or face additional pressure if earnings or guidance disappoint. 3. **Copper Exposure - FCX is already on our radar for its ties to EVs, renewable energy, and infrastructure projects. - Broader copper demand, influenced by economic sentiment or supply chain news, could add another layer of movement to this stock. What to Watch 1. Pre-Dividend Price Action (Now through Jan 14) - Look for increased buying as traders position for the dividend. - Monitor volume trends and whether FCX breaks key technical levels. - Keep an eye on market sentiment and copper-related news. 2. Ex-Dividend Price Adjustment (Jan 15) - Observe if the stock drops by exactly the dividend amount ($0.15) or if external factors cause a different adjustment. - Watch for recovery post-drop—does buying interest resume, or does the stock stall? 3. Earnings Anticipation (Jan 16–23) - Monitor implied volatility (IV) for options, as IV typically rises before earnings. - Consider how copper prices or macroeconomic trends (like China reopening or U.S. infrastructure spending) might affect sentiment heading into earnings. 4. Post-Earnings Reaction (Jan 23 and Beyond) - Listen to the earnings call for insights on copper demand, production costs, and forward contracts. - Note whether the stock aligns with broader copper and EV trends or diverges based on the results. Possible Outcomes 1. Bullish Scenario - Dividend buying drives interest, and earnings provide a strong catalyst for growth. - The stock rebounds quickly after the ex-dividend date and continues upward momentum post-earnings. 2. Bearish Scenario - Dividend adjustment leads to further downside pressure, and earnings fail to meet expectations. - The stock underperforms compared to copper peers. 3. Neutral Scenario - Dividend adjustment happens as expected, and earnings provide no surprises. - FCX trades sideways, maintaining a range-bound pattern. How to Track and Document 1. **Price & Volume:** - Record closing prices from now through Jan 23. - Note volume spikes and their timing relative to events. 2. **Options Activity:** - Monitor the options chain for changes in implied volatility as earnings approach. - Look for unusual activity around certain strikes or expirations. 3. **Copper Prices:** - Track global copper prices, as they could influence sentiment for FCX. 4. **News Flow:** - Stay updated on copper demand, EV adoption, and infrastructure-related headlines. A Practical Exercise in +EV Thinking FCX presents a unique opportunity to explore the layered dynamics of dividends, earnings, and macroeconomic trends. Even if you don’t take a position, tracking these events can sharpen your understanding of how catalysts play out in real time. And, of course, this study aligns perfectly with the philosophy behind my upcoming eBook and print guide: **“Adding to Your Nest with EV in 2025 – A guide for researching the hidden gems in the EV market sector of trading.”** So, can we get +EV from EV? The answer lies upstream, in the copper that holds everything together. -Bob Cavin 3

Gold Technical: Key Levels and Trend Outlook for the Week Gold Trading Lower Despite Dollar Weakness Gold prices traded lower on Friday afternoon, even as the dollar retreated from its highest level in more than two years and Treasury yields eased. Gold Technical Analysis The price precisely reached our resistance level at 2665 and then dropped to the pivot line at 2636, as anticipated in the previous week's analysis. For this week, the initial move is expected to test 2653. The price must then break 2653 to reach 2665. To move further toward 2678, a 4-hour candle close above 2665 is required. However, if the price closes a 4-hour candle below 2636, it is likely to drop to 2623. A sustained move below 2623 could lead to a further decline toward 2603. Key Levels Pivot Point: 2636 Resistance Levels: 2653, 2665, 2678 Support Levels: 2623, 2603, 2658 Trend Outlook Consolidation: Between 2636 and 2653 Bullish Trend: Above 2645 Bearish Trend: Below 2636 previous idea:

#202501 - priceactiontds - weekly update - wti crude oil futuresGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr wti crude oil futures: Bullish until bears come around. Big bull surprise to start 2025 with strong follow through above 72. Market has still a bit room to the bear trend line, that started in 2024-04, around 75. I can’t see this breaking above 77.38 and I have my doubts about a break of the trend line, so longs are no option for me here. I want to see selling pressure next week and wait for decent second signal before shorting this. comment: Big bull surprise early in 2025. I did not expect the market to just melt through 3 months of lower highs. We now have the big bear trend line right above us around 75 and it’s reasonable to expect market to get there before we could see bigger profit taking. Any short would need a stop 77.4 but I still think the odds are very good for the bears that we won’t make a higher high. Volume is still garbage so once we have decent selling pressure, I will take that swing short. current market cycle: trading range key levels: 70 - 75 bull case: Bulls want 75 and a retest of the bear trend line. Easy as that. They could overshoot it some but market has respected it two times before so I expect the trend line to hold. Volume is atrocious so it’s possible that the market just melts lower over the next 1-2 weeks after the retest. It would be very strong by the bulls if they keep the market above 70 now. Invalidation is below 70. bear case: Bears have nothing for now but since we have made lower highs since 2023-09, they expect this to be one as well and the closer they can short to 77 the better. It’s too early to short and bears need to build much bigger selling pressure. We will probably have to go sideways first before this can come down again. Invalidation is above 77.4. short term: Bullish until bears come around. Longing pullbacks is decent until we make lower lows again. Every touch of the 2h 20ema was bought, so keep looking for longs close to it. medium-long term - Update from 2025-01-02: Still no better medium-long term outlook to write about. The triangle has been going on for so long, it’s highly unlikely that we will break above it. current swing trade: None chart update: Nothing

#202501 - priceactiontds - weekly update - goldGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr gold futures: Neutral but slightly bearish if bears get follow through on Monday. Market tested the 50% of the last leg down and found more sellers than buyers. Bulls now have 3 pushed up which went nowhere as of now. We also closed right at the daily 20ema so this is as neutral as it gets. If bulls get a daily close above 2680, we can continue to 2700 and below 2650 I expect more downside to 2600/2620. comment: Likely more neutral than anything else. 50% retracement of recent bear leg is 2680 and market stopped there on Friday. We have more room to the upside inside this bigger triangle. current market cycle: trading range key levels: 2620 - 2720 bull case: Bulls want a retest of 2700 but they have tried 3 times now and price went nowhere. Friday could have been a retest of the breakout but bulls would need a very strong reversal on Monday to confirm that. Bulls don’t have much until they get above 2680 and then the upside could be limited to 2700. No matter how you put it, this is not strong buying by the bulls and nothing to get excited about. Invalidation is below 2600. bear case: Bears sold every new high at made money for 3 weeks now. They also fail to make lower lows and that is why we are in a bigger triangle with bad follow-through after every decent bull/bear bar. I think Friday was strong enough to expect a bit more downside but where do you put your stop? 2680? Very high probability market will retest it or go above before it turns again. Most bears would like to short closer to 2700. Invalidation is above 2730. short term: Neutral inside given range. medium-long term - Update from 2024-01-02: If we break strongly above 2700, we will likely retest 2740-2760 and depending on that move, we will either stay inside the big range 2560 - 2760 or retest 2800 or even higher. current swing trade: None chart update: Nothing
