Back to 78.6K targetMorning guys,
So, BTC was able to hold ~68K lows, keeping short-term bullish context intact. Now market is overbought, so, in short-term we could get minor drop back to Fib support level - 72.8K and 70.5K, where upside action potentially could be re-established.
The upside target remains the same - daily AB-CD @ 78.6K level.

Watching for market reactionMorning everybody,
So, recent sell-off on stock market and rally of the US yields have made pressure as on Gold as on BTC but thankfully it was short term.
Still, BTC has dropped to the level that we've discussed last time - 67.5-68K. Why is it so special? First is, it stands around the all-time trend line resistance that recently has been broken up. Second is - the K-support level, which makes it rather strong and a great indicator of market's power.
From bullish point of view, we do not want BTC to drop back below it, breaking 65K lows down. At the same time, with elections hysteria environment we suggest to not take any position without confirming patterns. So, our trading plan is to wait for market response to this level. Once we get more or less clear patterns, we could act...
78.6K is the next one to upsideMorning folks,
So, our " signal level" of ~68.6-69K has been broken and bullish setup has been set. Those who have used Stop "buy" entry orders should have good results.
Now the trading process is relatively simple. All that you need to do is to control 68.6-69K area. Because you do not want to see bearish reversal swing on BTC and drop back under long-term former resistance area again.
Other words, 68.6-69K is an invalidation point for current bullish action. So, if you intend to buy, you could consider 70.5K and 68.6K levels
69.3-69.5K is a key to the next directionMorning folks,
So, last time we said to not hurry up with the new long entry and then BTC has re-tested our 65.5K support area where we got nice long entry earlier.
At first glance BTC looks nice bullish performance, but it is clearly slowing. D. Trump crypto programme has done its job and totally priced-in. Its impact is exhausting. If D. Trump will take the office we could get jump in a moment, but it mostly will be a psychological reaction.
Now we would say that both directions have approx. similar chances. We have bullish and bearish patterns on different time scales. Thus, we suggest that 69.3-69.50K area will be the key to the next stop.
Upside breakout will lead BTC to action above 70K+ while "222" Sell, if it will work, probably will trigger deeper downside retracement.
So, make your bets with this issue in mind.
Not hurry up with a new longMorning folks,
So, Monday's setup is done perfect, we've got long entry around 66K support area as we've planned. But next step currently is not evident.
The point is that the retracement starts across the board - DXY, FX, Gold, Bonds etc... BTC in recent few weeks had a bit special performance. And mostly it was moving higher on D. Trump crypto programme.
Currently we wouldn't hurry up with a new long entry. Those who bought around 66K could keep positions with breakeven stops.
66K support as the 1st chance to buyMorning folks,
So, the journey to 68-69K target is over. Daily AB-CD is completed, right at the trendline resistance on weekly/daily time frame. This target agrees with intraday XOP of our reverse H&S.
Since BTC has its own driver - D. Trump promises to make America BTC great again - this lets it to move against the wind, together with gold. But drivers are different.
Now we're watching for pullback to 66K support area first. This is the first area where potentially market could turn up again. Next upside target is 70.35K.
70.3K is a nearest targetMorning folks,
So, BTC nows shows good bullish context. Downside action was limited with our AB=CD. Due to couple of bullish grabbers on weekly chart we consider 70.3K Top as the nearest target.
On intraday charts we consider 62-63.5 and 61.15K Fib levels as potentially interesting for entry.
It is just unclear in what manner the pullback happens. Big reverse H&S pattern is more in favor of 61.15K area, while gradual minor retracement could point on 62-63K... Overall context bullish and we do not consider any bearish positions by far.
62K for entry 57.8K for targetMorning folks,
So BTC has failed to break the vital 64.5K resistance that we've talked about last time. It means that context remains bearish and chances on downside AB=CD have increased. Especially on the back of outstanding rally in USD and US yields.
It makes us to consider no long positions by far, treat former 64.5 top as invalidation point and watch south. Nearest downside target seems to be around 57.8K.
For position taking it is possible to consider 62K intraday resistance, if you have plans to sell.
For long position taking we need to get either failure of current bearish scenario and rally above 64.5K top or deeper standing support areas. We have nothing yet, so let's wait with any longs by far.
64.5K seem as breakeven pointMorning folks,
NFP report almost had no impact on BTC action. But now we still have raising USD and US yields, which are definitely headwinds for BTC performance.
Although we see some bullish signs as well, we prefer to wait for better confirmation before considering long positions again. And would like to see 64.5K level upside breakout.
Otherwise, if 64.5K will not be broken up, BTC keeps chances on deeper downside AB=CD action.
BTC is a victim of liquidity problemsMorning folks,
So, we've planned just perfect last time, and BTC actually has dropped but much faster than we thought. It was not even able to form the right arm of H&S pattern and collapsed.
But don't search the explanation on cryptomarket. The reasons are more pragmatic - short-term liquidity fall in the US. First is BofA collapse yesterday, then SOFR rate has jumped above RRP. Sea ports are under strike, which also bring a mess in mutual relations of all counterparts.
So, current BTC drop is a pure run into liquidity. We do not know when it will be over, hopefully soon. But now we do not consider any longs and prefer follow to the market and see what reaction will be around strong support areas. Next one is 58K
63K and 68.75K to watchGreetings everybody,
Just on Thu we've decided to be cautious about any bearish positions as market was behaving not typical, BTC has made drastic changes on Friday. A lot of bullish signs now.
It means that currently we have bullish context. Our nearest target is 68.75K. Meantime, market has hit local 4H H&S target and now shows the response. Here 63K looks interesting for long position taking - trend line support and 3/8 Fib level.
Besides, if later this construction will shift to H&S - we should get upside bounce in a way of right arm, so chances to move stops to breakeven look as good.
Another pattern that might be formed - upside 1.618 3-Drive and BTC could start upside action earlier than 63K. If you want to foresee this either, one of the options is to split position in parts and take small part first, say, 30% of normal trading lot. Take the rest if BTC hits 63K support.
Watching for the same 60.5K areaMorning folks,
So, the plan that we've prepared last week mostly stands the same. In fact, BTC has decided first to complete upside nearest AB=CD target, and starts retracement second. So, although we were waiting for pullback on previous week, it is starting only now.
Here, on 1H chart you could see potential H&S pattern. We do not call you to trade it, because our primary context is bullish (although you can if you want). Here we're mostly interested with its fruits - downside pullback somewhere to ~60K support area. Which we think might be interesting for long entry later in the week.
Cheers.
60.50K for long entryMorning folks,
So, 57.40 K-support worked well, together with our H&S pattern in a whole. Fed decision should have moderately positive effect on BTC. Technically, bullish context also holds. Now 57.40 area is becoming our invalidation point. Next upside target stands around 65-65.5K top, based on our H&S pattern.
For next long position, 60-60.5K support looks interesting...
Gold after Fed rate cut?Gold could confirm a breakout and unless something major happens in other markets, this would be a bullish sign. So far, nothing has happened in the precious metals sector, while the DXY has fallen. This is a bearish factor, but before we jump to conclusions, let’s dig deeper.
Watching for 57-57.5K levelMorning folks,
So, upside target of last week around 60.5K is done, H&S worked very nice. Now, I suppose, it makes sense to wait a bit and see what will happen around 57-57.5K support area.
Reason is simple. Technically BTC keeps door open for both scenarios. Supposedly the Fed statement should be dovish and supportive to BTC, but only if they either change rate for 50 points (that I have big doubts about) or will tell something very dovish on conference.
Right now we do not have any clear signals. So, our choice is to wait when market hits support area, then watch on 15-30 min charts for any bullish reversal patterns. If we get any - it will be possible to use them for long entry. If not, or if the level will be broken - it would be better to forget about long entry for some time.
Pullback to 60.3KMorning folks,
Probably I should make it as an update of previous idea... anyway... BTC shows upside bounce from the 1st 52K target. The pullback obviously is taking shape of reverse H&S pattern. Thus, the setup #1 for scalp bulls. You could think about this pattern, and its target around 60.3K
For the bears it is nothing so far. You should watch for 2 moments - either H&S failure, or its completion around 60.3K Fib level and consider any ways for short entry there, if we get corresponding trading setup.
For now it seems early to bet on downside continuation.
XAU price remains stable for many consecutive daysGold traders are calm on the first trading day of the week as there are several important economic events that will impact the price of the precious metal. The USD index has shown strength considering recent data, but gold traders remain optimistic that gold prices will continue to move higher as the precious metal has remained above key levels over the past week.
The price of the precious metal has traded above 2,500, a level that many traders consider to be very important for a number of reasons. First, this is an important level because it shows the strength of the overall price trend. Second, gold traders believe that as long as prices continue to trade above these key levels, there is a good chance that they will continue to move higher for the rest of the year.
50.60KMorning folks,
So, BTC was so weak that even was not able to form the H&S pattern. Not as bad job data just pushed it below the floor...
There are a few bearish signs exist now on higher time frames as well... So, obviously we do not consider by far any long positions. Maybe everything is not as bad yet to consider 44K downside target on 4H chart but...
here on 4H chart it is quite possible to consider 50.6K next downside extension. Once it will be completed - keep an eye on major lows here. To keep bullish chances, BTC should not break it down. Otherwise downside action could become faster in nearest 1-2 weeks.
Take care.
XAU may rise further in the short termGold is under pressure from weakness in global equities. However, the trend in gold prices remains bullish and these losses are only corrective. on the yellow metal’s resistance levels above $2,510/oz and expect gold prices to break $2,543/oz soon. The current environment is risky for most popular commodities and gold offers the best protection against depreciation. Accordingly, gold stands out as the commodity where Goldman Sachs has the highest confidence in the near-term upside. They continue to maintain their upside target of $2,700/oz by early 2025 and have opened a gold trading recommendation for three reasons.
short term gold volatility forecastA major US bank, believes that gold is currently a safe investment asset against inflation. They predict that by early 2025, the price of gold could increase to $2,700/ounce, equivalent to VND82 million/tael.
Central banks' gold purchases have tripled since mid-2022 due to concerns about US financial sanctions.
The upcoming interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) could bring capital from the West back to the gold market, supporting higher gold prices.
Geopolitical issues and US public debt also contributed to the increase in gold prices.
The same H&S planMorning everybody,
actually I'm not sure that we need the "new trading idea" here, because this is just update on existed one. Everything goes with the plan. Now BTC comes to the neckline, and intraday bulls could start watching for small 15-min reversal patterns to make a decision on long entry.
Target is the same - 61-62K, the top of right arm of our H&S pattern. Those who trade on daily/weekly basis just do nothing and wait for this area to consider short entry..
So let's mark this idea as "Long", because we're watching for 61K action, but as you understand overall setup is bearish...
Short Term XAU Trading StrategyGold stays strong with the principle uptrend withinside the quick, medium and lengthy time period. After receiving help from the principle confluence referred to with the aid of using readers withinside the preceding problem on the 0.618% Fibonacci extension, EMA21 and the decrease fringe of the rate channel, the rate has expanded to attain the restoration goal degree. The preliminary rate factor is $2,500.
Looking ahead, if gold can damage above the bottom rate of $2,500 and surpass the 0.786% Fibonacci extension, the rate will qualify for the weekly upside goal of $2,531 withinside the quick time period and then $2,544.
For the day, the bullish outlook for gold stays unchanged at a wonderful degree and could be indexed for readers as follows. Support: 2,484-2,471 USD Resistance: 2,500 - 2,503 - 2,531 USD
