VIRTUALUSDT can derail support with momentumVIRTUAL is consolidating after the rally, but it cannot continue its growth yet. A descending triangle with a clear base support and a fourth retest relative to 1.877 is being formed, which in general only increases the chances of support breakout and decline
Scenario: if the compression of this format (within the descending triangle) continues and the price continues to compress to the support at 1.877, then in this case it will be possible to catch a breakout through a limit order. A sharp impulse is possible. As the first target I will wait for a decline to 0.5 fibo (1.73)

Gold – Focus on the Specific Details of US/China Trade TalksGold prices rallied 0.6% on Friday to close at 3325 as traders rushed to obtain some safe haven protection against the uncertainty of whether the outcome of trade negotiations between the US and China, taking place in Geneva over the weekend, may yield positive or negative results which could have significantly impact all markets on the Monday open.
Roll forward 2 days and Gold has fallen to a low of 3259 (at time of writing) in early Monday trading as traders digest and then react to both the US and China reporting ‘substantial progress’ in their talks. This news seems to have initially boosted risk sentiment and reduced the need for traders to own Gold as a hedge, at least for now anyway.
While light on detail, initial reports indicate that the trade teams from the world’s two biggest economies have agreed to create a mechanism for further talks. US Treasury Secretary Bessant and Trade representative Greer are expected to hold a press briefing later this morning to share more specific details, so there is room for disappointment, which could see Gold rally back to higher levels, or more progress than anticipated by markets, which may see Gold extend its sell off down to potential key technical support levels.
Technical Update: Decision Making Progress Develops
On April 24th 2025, we published a commentary on Gold, highlighting its inability to break above the psychological round number resistance at 3500, from which a sell-off was developing. Please look back at our timeline to read our thoughts at that time.
The setback from these all-time highs at 3500 did extend further, and tests of 3228, which was equal to the 50% Fibonacci retracement (April 7th to April 22nd 2025 price strength) did materialise.
After initially seeing the strong bounce from 3228 last week, it appears that traders may be focusing on this level as a possible important support over coming sessions.
What is the Current Situation for Gold?
While much will depend on future price trends and market sentiment, it could be suggested that recent price activity in Gold since the April 22nd session all-time high, has established both upper and lower extremes of a developing sideways range, between 3228 and 3500.
This type of sideways activity represents something of a ‘balance’ between both buyers and sellers of Gold. Price strength has been met by selling pressure at 3500, while buyers have materialised around 3228, the 50% retracement level.
However, it could even be suggested after the price weakness from last Tuesday’s 3435 session high, immediate resistance could now be lowered to this 3435 level.
Predicting the direction of an eventual range breakout is difficult, and we must wait for either a confirmed closing break below 3228, or above 3435 to suggest the next possible direction of a more sustained phase of price movement. Until such a breakout materialises, extension of the choppy sideways activity, as seen recently, could continue.
Upside Focus: If potential is to turn towards further attempts to extend price strength, it may well be suggested by closes above last week’s 3435 high. While breaks of these 3435 extremes won’t be a guarantee of price strength, it might lead to retests of the psychological 3500 high, even towards 3570, which is the 300% Fibonacci extension of the October 31st to November 14th 2024 decline.
Downside Focus: To the downside, traders may well continue to focus on the 3228 Fibonacci retracement level as support, with closing breaks perhaps pointing to risks for further price declines. Such moves may then lead to weakness towards 3164, which is the lower 61.8% retracement level.

EURJPY → Storming the resistance. Ready for the rallyFX:EURJPY is rising amid a stronger dollar and positive news about the de-escalation of the trade war. The currency pair is storming the resistance of the range.
The currency pair is forming a retest of resistance. A breakout and consolidation above 164.19 - 164.50 could support the market amid the dollar's growth.
The dollar is strengthening after positive news related to the de-escalation of the trade war. Against this backdrop, the Japanese yen is losing ground, which is generally affecting EURJPY.
A move above the key level will confirm a breakout of the resistance of consolidation, which could trigger a distribution phase...
Resistance levels: 164.19, 166.7
Support levels: 163.15, 162.38
The price has already entered the buying zone, meaning that resistance has been broken. All that remains is to wait for confirmation that the bulls are ready... Consolidation above 164.19 - 164.5 will confirm this, and in that case, we can expect distribution towards 166.7.
Best regards, R. Linda!
Bitcoin BTC price analysis - READ the text !There was some positive news: "The US and China have agreed to reduce tariffs for 90 days."
The price of CRYPTOCAP:BTC has entered the zone of total sales - $105-110 thousand.
🕯 Metrics show that large wallets are now opening short positions worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and on the other hand, no less large wallets that organized this rebound in the OKX:BTCUSDT price are very tempted to launch the final stage of cascading liquidations of shorts.
🍿 So, stock up on popcorn - it's going to be "fun" today/tomorrow, and then we'll go to the stronger side!)
Globally, before the growth wave begins, we want to see the final "shake-up" of the longs who have survived everything and still held their positions and didn't give up.
1️⃣ Weak correction in the range of $90-91k - to close the GAP that formed on this rebound and then continue to confidently update ATH with a clear conscience.
2️⃣ A strong correction to the range of $80-82k - during which it will be very interesting to watch the capital flow and dominance.
Which scenario is closer to your heart? Write in the comments!

SAP: Macro PotentialPolitical uncertainty and questionable economic policies from the U.S. administration are eroding investor confidence globally, prompting a search for more reliable investment opportunities outside the U.S.
Currently, the performance of European stock markets is outpacing that of the U.S. markets. For example, the ETF tracking major German stocks (ETF DAX) has been trading at historical highs for the second consecutive week, while
U.S. markets have merely recovered from their initial tariff-related declines.
One of the most promising medium-term investment ideas in the European equity market right now, in my opinion, is SAP ( XETR:SAP )
• Quarterly revenue and profit growth dynamics and forecasts
• Relative price strength
• Signs of accumulation by major funds
The macro trend structure of SAP also shows interesting potential

TRUMP Forming Major Reversal Within Bullish Wave StructureTRUMPUSDT has completed a substantial corrective phase, culminating in a pronounced low within a high-probability buy-back zone between 8.25 and 9.81 This accumulation area aligns with critical Fibonacci retracement levels and historical structural support, suggesting the end of a major wave cycle likely Wave 2 or Wave B.
Current price action signals the emergence of a new impulsive phase, with price initiating a potential Wave 3 advance. Immediate resistance resides around 16.43–16.51, a key internal supply zone. A confirmed breakout above this area would validate the bullish continuation, opening the path toward the external supply region near 45.65.
If the bullish momentum sustains beyond that, higher Fibonacci expansion levels project extended targets toward the 87.90 zone consistent with the terminal points of a larger Wave 5 within the macro Wave formation.
Maintaining structural integrity above the key demand zone is essential to uphold the bullish thesis. Failure to defend this zone could expose the market to deeper corrective retracements.
However, as long as price remains above 7.14, the bias remains favorably bullish with clearly defined invalidation levels and high-reward potential.

LYFT LONG📈 NASDAQ:LYFT Long-Term Bullish Thesis 🚀
I’m bullish on LYFT with a long-term price target in the $40–$45 range, supported by key Fibonacci extension levels and improving technical structure. The chart shows higher lows and increasing volume—both signs of accumulation and early-stage trend reversal.
What makes this setup even more compelling is that LYFT is now profitable, marking a major turning point for the company. Profitability not only de-risks the investment but also strengthens the long-term growth thesis as the business shifts from survival to scaling.
Technicals + improving fundamentals = powerful setup. The convergence of both makes LYFT a name I’m watching closely for a longer-term breakout.
⏳ Patience is key, but with profitability confirmed and bullish technicals in place, I believe LYFT is on the path toward significantly higher valuations.

Stocks rise as they rise from support and fall from resistance. Our goal is to find a low support point and enter. It can be referred to as buying at the pullback point. The pullback point can be found with a Fibonacci extension of 61.80%. This is a step to find entry level. 1) Find a triangle (Fibonacci Speed Fan Line) that connects the high (resistance) and low (support) points of the stock in progress, where it is continuously expressed as a Slingshot, 2) and create a Fibonacci extension level for the first rising wave from the start point of slingshot pattern.
When the current price goes over 61.80% level , that can be a good entry point, especially if the SMA 100 and 200 curves are gathered together at 61.80%, it is a very good entry point.
As a great help, tradingview provides these Fibonacci speed fan lines and extension levels with ease. So if you use the Fibonacci fan line, the extension level, and the SMA 100/200 curve well, you can find an entry point for the stock market. At least you have to enter at this low point to avoid trading failure, and if you are skilled at entering this low point, with fibonacci6180 technique, your reading skill to chart will be greatly improved.
If you want to do day trading, please set the time frame to 5 minutes or 15 minutes, and you will see many of the low point of rising stocks.
If want to prefer long term range trading, you can set the time frame to 1 hr or 1 day.
