XAUUSD Golden LEVELSMarket Overview 📈 TCL (Trend Change Level): 3330 📊 WIMP (Weekly Important Mid-Price): 3403.2 Update: Prices have closed above 3368.60. This shifts the bias for order blocks: those entirely above this level are now considered bearish, and those entirely below are bullish. 📌 Market Outlook for Monday Our observation from Friday's New York session is crucial: the high was not even close to Thursday’s high. This implies that price failed to go above the **3276–3278** range. **Expectation:** We anticipate that Friday’s low will be broken during Monday's NY session, signaling potential further downside. 🔍 Key Support Zone We expect prices may find strong support around the **3312 – 3320 – 3324** range. If this support holds, the market may head towards the key weekly level of **3403.2**. ⚠️ Price Behavior at 3403.2 – A Critical Juncture If **3403.2** is reached during the Asian session or London session, it could present a good shorting opportunity on Monday. If the price doesn't break **3403.2** during early sessions, then we expect this level to be taken out by Wednesday's NY session. 📊 Order Blocks – Zones to Watch Understanding these institutional areas of interest can provide valuable insights into potential reversals or continuations. Timeframe Order Block Zones Bias H1 3352–3340 Bullish H1 3330–3319 Bullish H1 3308–3294 Bullish H1 3452–3432 Bearish H1 3395–3389 Bearish H1 3368–3379 Neutral H4 3452–3430 Bearish H4 3320–3293 Bullish H4 3342–3318 Bullish H4 3375–3338 Neutral D1 3424–3500 Bearish D1 3240–3121 Bullish D1 3019–2953 Bullish 📝 Important Notes for Your Trading Plan: Always pay close attention to session-wise reactions, especially around the 3403.2 level. Remember that bearish or bullish biases for order blocks are clearly indicated for each specific timeframe. These identified zones are critical turning points that can significantly aid your trade planning.

Crude Oil Market Trend Forecast for Next WeekThe oil price continued its upward trend this week, despite a brief correction on Friday. As of Friday's Asian session, Brent crude oil futures dropped by $1.57, or 2%, to $77.28 per barrel. However, the cumulative weekly gain reached 3.9%, marking three consecutive weekly increases. Geopolitical risks continued to fuel market sentiment. Oil prices surged nearly 3% on Thursday after Israel bombed Iranian nuclear targets, following Iran's missile strikes on Israel after its earlier missile attack on an Israeli hospital. The focus of the current crude oil market has shifted entirely from supply-demand fundamentals to geopolitical risks. Although Iran's crude oil exports have not been substantially disrupted, investors have started to price in the worst-case scenario. If the situation further deteriorates and affects shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz, global energy prices may face a new round of sharp volatility. In the short term, oil prices still exhibit upward potential, with the current trend maintaining an overall upward trajectory. The MACD indicator's fast and slow lines overlap with bullish bars above the zero axis, signaling robust bullish momentum. This suggests that the medium-term trend is expected to usher in an upward rally. you are currently struggling with losses，or are unsure which of the numerous trading strategies to follow,You have the option to join our VIP program.

Luxury, War, and Clarity – This Is the Golden Reset.🟨 The Real Gold Era: Clarity While the World Burns 🟨 "While some bleed in the streets, others sip cocktails in the Bahamas. This is not a coincidence. This is the new world." Right now, we live in a time like no other. People are dying in wars they never chose. Currencies collapse. Nations threaten each other. And yet — capital flows, gold climbs, and the rich get richer. 🕰️ A war started long ago — and most never saw it: 2020–2022: They printed trillions. COVID shut down the world. Fiat was silently devalued. 2022–2023: Russia was cut off from SWIFT. BRICS started buying gold. The dollar was no longer untouchable. 2023–2024: Gold broke $2100… then $2400… now $3400+. Even high interest rates can't stop it. 2025: U.S. and Israel strike Iran. BRICS discuss a gold-backed currency. Trust in fiat? Gone. The Gold Era is no longer just metaphor. It’s the new battlefield. 💣 "War is loud. Wealth is silent." While bombs fall in the East, ✨ capital quietly moves to safe havens. While families flee, ✨ smart money finds gold, data, and sovereign positioning. While headlines scream chaos, ✨ traders make decisions in silence. 🌍 But here's the paradox: We also live in a world of unmatched abundance: You can build a brand from a phone. You can trade gold from a beach. You can learn SMC, AI, geopolitics — and use it to build freedom. You can escape the system, if you understand the structure. In this gold era, the true asset isn't just metal. It's mental clarity. Information. Sovereignty. The gold is you. 📉 This isn’t just about trading. It’s about knowing where we are in the timeline of collapse and rebirth. The markets don’t lie — they expose what’s really coming. And those who read them… can rise while others fall. 🧠 Final note: Not everyone survives a reset. But those who think in structure, who lead with clarity — they don’t just survive. They reposition. They build. They lead. 🟡 Welcome to the Real Gold Era. Where charts speak louder than news. Where truth is a position. Where you don’t wait for safety — you create it. — ✍️ GoldFxMinds – where structure meets truth. 📢 Disclosure: This analysis was created using TradingView charts through my Trade Nation broker integration.

#202525 - priceactiontds - weekly update - wti crude oilGood Day and I hope you are well. comment: Many gaps on different time frames and I only marked the ones from the daily. Next targets above for the bulls are 80 and the 2023-09 high at 82.91. I think we can see a futures gap up above 81 and then another huge pullback. Supply shock for Oil is still not there or we would not see the market pull back that much. Given the current macro risk we can only expect higher prices but the swings are too wild for me tbh. current market cycle: bull trend but trading range on 1h tf key levels: 67 - 83 bull case: Bulls have all the arguments on their side. Their only issue is that we are still seeing 5-10% intraday swings to both sides and only if the pull backs become smaller and we leave gaps behind, can we go meaningful higher and stay there. We have two open gaps on the daily chart but market would have to stay above 70 now to confirm them. 77 is the next target for the bulls which would be a higher high above the 2024-04 high. Invalidation is below 70 - if we drop below, we most likely continue sideways inside the big range until we maybe get another big breakout above bear case: US bombs on Iran. Interesting to see if we stay below 77 and move sideways. I can not see it but I obviously did not saw the 11% pullback on Monday as well. That was insane. Best bears can hope for is to move sideways and continue with the deep pullbacks. Bears can also make big money on these wild swings, which is not something seen in strong bull trends. Invalidation is above 77 short term: Bullish but too cautious to trade it. Future gap ups were sold heavily and market has not found acceptance above 73 for the entire week. Still expecting 77 to get hit and there is no reason why we can’t see 80$ on oil over next 2 weeks. medium-long term - Update from 2025-06-22: No bigger opinion other than “don’t be a bear here”. No idea if market can sustain the buying and stay above 70 for longer or even 80 for that matter. Too many big risks which will move the market big time.

Beyond the Headlines - Gold Outlook June 16-20, 2025Beyond the Headlines: Gold's Ascent Amidst Global Shifts & Key Technicals 🌐🚀 Everything about the last week can be found here: OANDA:XAUUSD 💰📈 We all know what's going on, I believe. Israel struck Iran 💥, and this conflict will likely take a bit before things cool down. 🥶 --- ## Geopolitical News Landscape 🌍📰 ### Israel / Iran Since June 12, Israel launched "Operation Rising Lion," targeting Iranian nuclear sites like Natanz and Esfahan – over 128 killed, Iran claims. 🇮🇷 retaliated with missile and drone strikes on Haifa and Tel Aviv, killing at least 10. 🚀 **Outlook:** 🔥 Tensions are spiraling. Without urgent mediation, full-scale regional war remains a real risk. 💣 ### India / Pakistan Since the May ceasefire, few clashes have occurred. However, both navies increased readiness, signaling potential escalation at sea. 🚢 **Outlook:** ⚖️ Peace is fragile. A strategic dialogue is key to avoiding a renewed border or maritime conflict. 🙏 ### Gaza Conflict Between June 7–15, Israeli strikes killed at least 41 Palestinians, including 8 near an aid center in Rafah. Over 55,000 total deaths, and famine is looming. 💔 **Outlook:** 🆘 Gaza remains a humanitarian catastrophe. Global pressure for access and a ceasefire must intensify. 🕊️ ### Russia / Ukraine June 13–15: Russia returned the bodies of 1,200 Ukrainian soldiers in a rare POW swap gesture. 🤝 Fighting remains intense in Sumy and Toretsk; Russia hit a major oil refinery. 🏭 **Outlook:** 🕊️ While symbolic moves continue, no peace is in sight – battlefield outcomes will shape diplomacy. ⚔️ ### U.S. - China Trade War The U.S. hiked tariffs to 55% on key Chinese goods. 🇺🇸🇨🇳 responded with 10% on U.S. imports. Talks yielded a partial truce, but military-use rare earths remain unresolved. 💻 **Outlook:** 🔧 Tech remains the battleground. Without progress on critical materials, the trade war may deepen. 📉 ### Global Trade War The OECD revised global growth downward due to rising tariffs from the U.S. targeting 🇨🇳, 🇲🇽, 🇨🇦. Global trade volume is expected to shrink by 0.2–1.5%. 📉 **Outlook:** ⛓️ Supply chain disruption is spreading. Global trade will stay under pressure without coordinated policy. 🌍➡️🌍 ### Trump vs. Powell Trump labeled Powell a "numbskull" for not cutting rates, suggesting he might "force something" if re-elected. 🗳️ The Fed maintains policy independence ahead of a critical June decision. 🏛️ **Outlook:** ⚔️ Political pressure on the Fed is mounting. Expect more friction as the election cycle heats up. 🔥 ### U.S. Inflation CPI rose 2.4% YoY in May (from 2.3%); Core CPI held steady at 2.8%. Monthly growth was modest at 0.1%. Key rises were seen in healthcare and vehicle prices. 🚗🏥 **Outlook:** Inflation is stable but sticky. 🚦 The Fed will likely hold rates steady until clearer disinflation signals appear. 📊 --- ## Technical View 📐📈 ### Market Structure: Gold shows a clear **bullish market structure** with higher highs and higher lows. ⬆️ Recent price action suggests we're in a strong uptrend with institutional buying pressure. 🏦 ### Key Levels: * The chart shows a significant low around the **$3,245 area** (marked as "Low") which could act as a key institutional support level. 💪 * The current high near **$3,446** represents a potential institutional resistance zone. 🛑 * Look for potential **order blocks** around the **$3,380-$3,400 range** where price consolidated before the recent breakout. 🧱 ### Fair Value Gaps (FVG): There appear to be several gaps in the price action during volatile moves, particularly during strong rally phases. These could act as future support/resistance areas. 📉📈 ### Gann Analysis: The price movement shows strong adherence to Gann principles: * The rally from the low follows a steep angle, suggesting strong momentum. 🚀 * Key Gann angles would place support around the **$3,300-$3,320 zone**. 📐 * The current price near **$3,436** is testing natural resistance levels based on Gann square calculations. 📏 ### Fibonacci Levels: From the significant swing low to the current high: * 23.6% retracement: ~$3,395 📉 * 38.2% retracement: ~$3,370 📉 * 50% retracement: ~$3,345 📉 * 61.8% retracement: ~$3,320 📉 The golden ratio levels suggest key support on any pullback would be around the **$3,370-$3,345 zone**. ✨ ### Institutional Levels: * **Weekly/Monthly Levels:** The **$3,400** and **$3,450** areas appear to be significant institutional levels based on round numbers and previous price action. 🏦💰 * **Smart Money:** The accumulation pattern before the breakout suggests institutional participation. 🧠💡 ### Cycle Timing: Based on the timeframe (appears to be 30-minute bars from May 26-June 15): * We're seeing approximately **3-week cycles** in the major moves. 🗓️ * The current rally phase appears to be in its mature stage. 🌳 * The next potential cycle turn could be approaching, suggesting caution for new longs at current levels. ⚠️ --- ### Trading Considerations: * Watch for rejection at current levels near **$3,446**. 📉 * Key support confluence around **$3,370-$3,345** for potential re-entry. 🎯 * Volume and momentum divergences would be critical for timing any reversal. 📊🔄 Other indicators tend to show bullish scenario enhancements. 🚀 Gold has formed a ** Standard Bullish Flag pattern ** over a time from early April till today. 🚩🐂 Also, the structure of a ** reverse Head & Shoulders ** is existing and has broken the neckline! 🔄🗣️ Another indicator is an existing "** Ascending Bull Flag **." ⬆️🚩 Please take the time to let me know what you think about this. 💬 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is just my personal market idea and not financial advice! 📢 Trading gold and other financial instruments carries risks – only invest what you can afford to lose. Always do your own analysis, use solid risk management, and trade responsibly. Good luck and safe trading! 🚀📊

GOLD 1H CHART ROUTE MAP UPDATE & TRADING PLAN FOR THE WEEKHey Everyone, Please see our updated 1h chart levels and targets for the coming week. We are seeing price play between two weighted levels with a gap above at 3376 and a gap below at 3348. We will need to see ema5 cross and lock on either weighted level to determine the next range. We will see levels tested side by side until one of the weighted levels break and lock to confirm direction for the next range. We will keep the above in mind when taking buys from dips. Our updated levels and weighted levels will allow us to track the movement down and then catch bounces up. We will continue to buy dips using our support levels taking 20 to 40 pips. As stated before each of our level structures give 20 to 40 pip bounces, which is enough for a nice entry and exit. If you back test the levels we shared every week for the past 24 months, you can see how effectively they were used to trade with or against short/mid term swings and trends. The swing range give bigger bounces then our weighted levels that's the difference between weighted levels and swing ranges.

GOLD DAILY CHART ROUTE MAPHey Everyone, Quick update on our Daily chart Goldturn channel setup. Since our last post, price action has continued to play out within the structure as anticipated but with a new development: we’ve now had the challenge and rejection at the channel top. Price challenged the 3433 axis again but failed to lock above, confirming the resistance remains firm at this level. To confirm a continuation higher into 3564, we’ll now need to see either a blue candle body close or the EMA5 cross and lock cleanly outside the channel. Without that confirmation, we treat any move to the top as a potential fade opportunity, not a breakout. On the downside, daily support at 3272 remains intact and continues to anchor our range structure. As long as price holds above this level, we maintain our strategy of buying dips, especially when supported by our weighted Goldturn zones on lower timeframes (1H, 4H). This rejection further validates the precision of our Goldturn channel. The structure continues to guide us effectively filtering the noise and keeping us on the right side of the setup. Stay disciplined. The range is still in play until we get a clear break and hold above the top. Watch 3272 and 3433 closely. The next move will hinge on whether bulls can finally break the ceiling or if sellers continue to defend this range top. Let the market show its hand. Mr Gold GoldViewFX

GOLD WEEKLY CHART MID/LONG TERM ROUTE MAPHey Everyone, Following up on our previous weekly update = last week we saw the expected correction play out with a move down for the EMA5 detachment touch, highlighted by the circle on the chart. This was a healthy pullback within the structure and aligns perfectly with the Goldturn methodology. While we previously had the candle body close gap at 3482, that target still remains open and active. The move lower was not a breakdown but a technical retest, setting up the potential for continuation higher once momentum returns. Support continues to hold at 3281, reinforcing our buy the dip strategy within the structure. The price remains guided by the channel and is still following the expected trajectory toward the long term gap target. We'll be watching closely for renewed strength to drive back toward 3482, and any close above recent highs could reignite that move. Until then, structure remains bullish and contained. Stay disciplined and let price do the talking. Mr Gold GoldViewFX

AI Algo Systems vs. Manual Trading: Which Delivers Real Results?AI Algo Systems vs. Manual Trading: Which Delivers Real Results? ⚖️ ________________________________________ Introduction With the explosive rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in financial markets, traders everywhere are asking the million-dollar question: Should I trust my trades to automation, or keep my hands on the wheel? 🧠🤖 This guide offers a real-world, side-by-side comparison between AI-powered algorithmic trading systems and traditional manual trading. We’ll highlight where each method dominates, when they fail, and how you can combine both to build a system that outperforms the rest. 💡 What Are AI Algo Systems? 🤖 AI trading systems use advanced machine learning models to: • Analyze huge volumes of historical and real-time data 📈 • Detect patterns and trading opportunities faster than any human • Automatically execute trades using coded logic, without emotion 🔬 Real-World Examples: • Neural networks (LSTM, CNN): Predicting EUR/USD direction based on years of tick data • Reinforcement learning agents: Managing position sizing dynamically in crypto scalping • Predictive classifiers: Spotting likely trend reversals on S&P 500 based on 20+ indicators Key Benefits: • 🔄 Emotionless execution: No fear, no greed, just rules • ⏱️ Lightning-fast trades: React to price action instantly • 📊 Pattern recognition: Finds subtle correlations people miss ________________________________________ What Is Manual Trading? 👤 Manual trading is powered by human intelligence and judgment. Traders use: • Price action and SMC/ICT techniques (e.g., order blocks, BOS) • Fundamental analysis: News, sentiment, macro reports • Intuition and experience: Reading between the lines the way only humans can 🧑‍💼 Real-World Examples: • A trader spots an untested order block on GBP/JPY and waits for liquidity sweep before entering • Reading a dovish tone in FOMC minutes and fading the initial spike on DXY • Using “market structure shifts” after a big news event to catch a reversal Key Benefits: • 🔍 Contextual awareness: Understand the full market story • 🎯 Real-time adaptability: Adjust plans on the fly • 🧠 Creative edge: Find setups no algorithm can code for ________________________________________ Side-by-Side Comparison Table 📋 Feature AI Algo Trading 🤖 Manual Trading 👤 Execution Speed Instant Slower, can lag Emotions Involved None Prone to fear/greed Adaptability Limited (needs retrain) High Learning Curve High (coding/tech) Medium (market logic) Strategy Flexibility Pre-coded only Unlimited creativity Backtesting Automated Manual/semi-auto Session Monitoring 24/5 via server Human-limited hours ________________________________________ When AI Algo Systems Work Best 💾 AI is unbeatable when you need: • Scalability: Watching 10, 20, or even 100+ pairs 24/5 • High-frequency execution: Entering/exiting trades within milliseconds • Repetitive strategies: Like mean reversion, breakout scalps, or arbitrage 📈 Example: • Strategy: EUR/USD London open breakout • Process: AI model detects volume and volatility spike, enters trade with 0.3% risk, targets FVG • Results: 60% win rate, 1.8R average reward over 3 months ________________________________________ When Manual Trading Wins 🧠 Manual skills shine when you need: • Discretionary entries: Especially with complex SMC/ICT structures • Adapting to breaking news: Sudden CPI, FOMC shocks, geopolitical headlines • Making sense of market narrative: When volatility is off the charts and AI gets confused 🗞️ Example: • News: Surprise ECB rate hike • Setup: Price sweeps liquidity and forms new order block • Action: Trader enters based on confluence of structure, sentiment, and news • Why AI fails: Model trained on normal volatility might get stopped out or miss entry entirely ________________________________________ Hybrid Strategy: The Best of Both Worlds 🌐 Elite traders combine the power of AI with human oversight. Hybrid Workflow: 1. AI scans markets: Flags setups (order blocks, FVGs, volume spikes) 2. You review: Confirm bias with news, sentiment, or higher time frame 3. Entry: o Manual (you pull the trigger) o Semi-automated (AI suggests, you approve) 🔁 You save time, avoid missing setups, but keep critical discretion and control. ________________________________________ Risk Management: Algo vs. Manual 📊 AI: • Stops, lot size, SL/TP are auto-calculated • Consistent, never emotional • Example: EA manages all USD pairs with 0.5% fixed risk per trade Manual: • Trader might override risk plan • Discipline needed—easy to “revenge trade” after a loss • Example: You up your risk size after a losing streak, breaking your rules Best Practice: 📌 Let AI calculate risk size. Manually approve or override the entry. Double safety net. ________________________________________ Trader Case Study 👤 Name: Ray – $100K funded prop trader Style: Hybrid (AI scanner + manual ICT confirmations) Process: • Sets HTF bias each morning • AI scans for OB/BOS setups during NY session • Manual review before entry Performance: • Win rate: 63% • Avg R: 2.5 • Monthly gain: 9.7% Ray’s Words: “AI catches what I can’t see. I catch what it can’t understand.” ________________________________________ Mistakes to Avoid ❌ • 🚫 Blindly trusting black-box AI: Always verify signals • 🚫 Micromanaging every tick: Let automation work, don’t over-interfere • 🚫 Running AI during high-impact news: Most bots aren’t built for chaos • 🚫 Ignoring psychology: Even if AI executes, your mindset impacts risk and management ________________________________________ Conclusion ✅ There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The best traders in 2025 master both worlds. Here’s the winning formula: • Harness AI’s speed and pattern recognition • Lean on manual judgment for narrative and nuance • Blend them with intention and structure for a trading system that’s fast, flexible, and resilient. 💥 Don’t pick sides. Master both. That’s how the top 1% trade today—and win. 🚀⚙️📊

USD/CAD Trap in Progress? Smart Money Flips BearishUSD/CAD is currently in a rebalancing phase after the strong downside correction seen over recent weeks. Following a rejection in the 1.3900–1.4000 supply zone, price retraced down to a major demand area between 1.3500 and 1.3650, where it has shown a notable bullish reaction. The pair is now trading at 1.3734, and multi-frame data suggests we are in a transitional phase—not yet a confirmed bullish trend reversal. COT Report – Institutional Positioning The latest Commitments of Traders data (June 10th) reveals critical signals: Commercials (hedgers and large institutions) have aggressively increased their long exposure on CAD, adding +27,999 contracts. This indicates strong expectations of Canadian dollar appreciation—bearish implications for USD/CAD in the medium term. Non-Commercials (speculators) reduced their short CAD exposure by -14,319 contracts, signaling that speculative players are starting to unwind long USD/CAD positions. Overall, the net shift shows institutional sentiment turning bearish on the pair, potentially pointing to a deeper downside once the current technical pullback completes. USD Index COT – Dollar Momentum Weakening On the USD Index, Non-Comms have added +1,279 long contracts, but positioning remains moderate. Commercials are flat, suggesting the dollar lacks strong bullish backing. This makes any sustained USD/CAD rally structurally fragile. Retail Sentiment Retail traders are 57% short and 43% long on USD/CAD. Although not extreme, this imbalance suggests confidence among retail participants in a bearish move—often preceding a short-term upward squeeze before an eventual trend continuation. We could therefore see price move toward 1.3900 as a liquidity grab, setting the stage for a larger reversal. Technical Analysis – Outlook Key highlights: A strong bullish reaction occurred from the 1.3500–1.3650 demand zone, previously well-respected. The weekly RSI is still below the 50-level but is turning upward—momentum is improving. Price structure shows room for a pullback to the 1.3900–1.4000 supply zone, which aligns with higher-timeframe order blocks. This zone remains a critical resistance, and unless the macro and positioning context changes, a renewed bearish impulse is expected from this area. Trading Outlook The current picture presents a tactical short-term long opportunity, followed by a potential structural short setup. 📈 Scenario 1 – Bullish Pullback (in play): With price above 1.3700 and consolidating, there’s space for a rally toward the 1.3900–1.4000 supply zone. Ideal for short-term targets. 📉 Scenario 2 – Structural Short (priority bias): Should price reach 1.3950–1.4000 and show bearish confirmation (e.g., engulfing, doji, rejection on H4/H1), this would be a prime area to initiate swing shorts, targeting 1.3600 and eventually 1.3450. ✅ Final Bias: Structural Bearish – Corrective Bullish Watch for potential false breakouts above 1.3800–1.3900 to liquidate retail shorts before a more meaningful downside move. The sharp increase in commercial net long CAD positions supports a bearish USD/CAD bias for the coming weeks.

XAUUSD POSSIBLE TRADE SETUPPotential Trade Setup on XAUUSD Overview: Gold (XAUUSD) has shown consistent bullish momentum for over 16 months. Recently, we’ve seen a continuation of that strength, especially after breaking above the key $2,320 resistance zone. While there has been some temporary consolidation, the overall bullish structure remains intact, supported by ongoing geopolitical tensions and inflation hedging. That said, I am still anticipating a possible continuation of the bullish momentum that has been in play for quite some time. Moving forward, I will be looking for a clear break above the 3380 region — followed by a successful retest of the breakout zone — before entering a long position. Alternatively, a short opportunity may arise if the 3350 intraday resistance holds and the price fails to break above it. In that case, I will look for signs of further downward momentum toward the 3300 region. 🧭 Trading Plan: ✅ BUY: Look for a break and retest of the 3355 region on the 4H timeframe. 🔻 SELL: Bias (Alternative Scenario): If the price stays below the 3350 zone, then look for a potential short opportunity moving forward. 🎯 Targets & Risk Management: Targeting 1:2 R:R on both setups.
