ETH Market Check – April 4, 2025Let’s take a closer look at Ethereum (ETH) – not just following SPX, but showing some of its own behavior lately. 1. Structure & Indicators - ETH is currently retesting the 200 EMA zone on the 1h chart, and candles are starting to flatten near resistance (around 1833–1835). - RSI is at 56–57 and losing momentum, approaching overbought on low volume. - Coinbase Premium is still negative (-36 earlier, now -21), meaning institutional buying pressure is not behind this move – it’s likely retail-driven . - Bollinger Bands show price hugging the upper band, often a signal of a temporary stretch. 2. Volume Analysis - Volume on the move up was decent but fading . - No strong spikes that would suggest big buyers stepping in. It looks more like shorts covering and FOMO buying. 3. Divergence Risk - We’re seeing early signs of bearish divergence on RSI vs price – ETH pushing up while RSI is not following with strength. - This usually signals weakness in continuation , especially near key resistance zones. 4. News & Macro Correlation - ETH will likely react sharply to today’s NFP data and Powell’s speech, even if it’s crypto – macro still rules. - If SPX dumps, ETH will follow , especially with its current weak spot structure. My View: ETH is not showing organic strength . This climb seems forced and light , with clear signs of hesitation. Unless we get positive macro surprise , I expect ETH to either: - stall at current levels and chop sideways - or pull back fast toward 1795 / 1755 zone So I’m not entering longs here. Watching for rejection confirmation and possibly a short setup if conditions align after the news.

Markets eye US, Canada job reports, US dollar steadiesThe Canadian dollar has taken a break after an impressive three-day rally, in which the currency climbed about 2%. In the European session, USD/CAD is trading at 1.4148, up 0.39%. On Thursday, the Canadian dollar touched 140.26, its strongest level since December. The hottest financial news is understandably the wave of selling in the equity markets, but there are some key economic releases today as well. The US and Canada will both release the March employment report later today. The US releases nonfarm payrolls, with the markets projecting a gain of 135 thousand, after a gain of 151 thousand in February. This would point to the US labor market cooling at a gradual pace, which suits the Federal Reserve just fine. The Fed will also be keeping a watchful eye on wage growth, which is expected to tick lower to 3.9% y/y from 4.0%. The unemployment rate is expected to hold at 4.1%. The employment landscape is uncertain, with the DOGE layoffs and newly-announced tariffs expected to dampen wage growth in the coming months. Canada's employment is expected to improve slightly to 12 thousand, after a negligible gain of 1.1 thousand in February. Unemployment has been stubbornly high and is expected to inch up to 6.7% from 6.6%. US President Donald Trump's tariff bombshell on Wednesday did not impose new tariffs on Canada, but trade tensions continue to escalate between the two allies. Canada said it would mirror the US stance and impose a 25% tariff on all vehicles imported from the US that do not comply with the US-Canada-Mexico-Canada free trade deal. The US has promised to respond to any new tariffs against the US, which could mean a tit-for-tat exchange of tariffs between Canada and the US. USD/CAD has pushed above resistance at 1.4088 and 141.26. The next resistance line is 1.4170 1.4044 and 1.4006 are the next support levels

Euro Strengthens as Dollar Weakens !The Euro rose significantly against the US dollar during yesterday's session, Thursday, April 3, 2025, successfully breaching the resistance level at 1.09547 and establishing a new high above it. This upward movement followed the decision by the US president to impose tariffs on approximately 180 countries, significantly impacting the performance of the US dollar negatively. Currently, EUR/USD is experiencing a corrective downward movement that could extend towards the support level at 1.08211, considered an ideal point for resuming the bullish trend targeting the next level at 1.10490. The positive outlook remains valid unless the pair breaks below the critical support at 1.07331 with a daily candle closure beneath it. Such a scenario would invalidate the bullish scenario and strengthen bearish possibilities. Today, markets await the release of the US employment data, where the Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) are expected to decline from 151K to 137K. A reading higher than expected could positively impact the dollar and negatively affect the EUR/USD pair. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate is anticipated to remain steady at 4.1%, and any decrease below this level would support the dollar, adding further downward pressure on the EUR/USD pair.

GOLD → It all depends on NFP and Powell....FX:XAUUSD got shaken by 600 pips on both sides. Technically, after such a move the price may go into consolidation, but the near-term outlook will depend on NFP and Powell. Gold hit a high of 3168 and went into correction. President Trump's imposed duties on imports from China (up to 54%) and other countries caused a sharp drop in the dollar and bond yields, reinforcing expectations of a Fed rate cut. Traders turned to profit-taking, which led to a correction. Now the market is waiting for the NFP report and Powell's speech. Weak data may return the upward momentum to gold, especially if the dovish rate expectations are confirmed. However, volatility may persist after the publication, given the impact of Friday's flows and Powell's speech Resistance levels: 3107, 3116, 3135 Support levels: 3086, 3067, 3055 Technically, it is difficult to determine a clear place from where to expect a move as there is news ahead (NFP, Powell's speech). But based on the falling dollar and high economic risks, we can bet on the continuation of the price growth from one of the mentioned support levels: 3086, 3067, 3055. Exit from the channel and consolidation of the price above 3110 - 3116 will again attract increased interest in buying Regards R. Linda!

Market Outlook – April 4, 2025Hey everyone, just sharing my thoughts on the current market situation based on recent developments and upcoming events. 1. Tariff Announcement Shockwave Yesterday's announcement from former President Trump regarding significant import tariffs has already triggered strong market reactions. We saw a sharp drop in SPX and related assets , with nearly 30% lost at one point. This kind of aggressive protectionist policy adds heavy pressure to an already fragile market. 2. Upcoming NFP and Unemployment Data We’re now awaiting today’s Non-Farm Payrolls and Unemployment Rate data (12:30 UTC). - Forecast: NFP at 135k (vs. previous 151k) - Unemployment Rate: 4.1% (same as previous) If these come in weaker than forecast, this may confirm slowing economic conditions, increasing downside pressure. 3. Powell’s Speech Later Today At 15:25 UTC, Fed Chair Powell is set to speak. This could be a major turning point , depending on whether he addresses the tariff situation or hints at monetary policy support. If he avoids the topic or stays hawkish, we could see more selling ahead. 4. What I’m Watching - SPX approaching resistance at 0.508–0.510 with decreasing momentum (look at RSI divergence). - Coinbase Premium remains negative overall, indicating cautious institutional sentiment . - Volumes have picked up, which might suggest distribution rather than healthy accumulation . Conclusion: Personally, I remain cautious . This recent rise could be a bull trap , especially ahead of such high-impact events. Unless the data surprises to the upside and Powell offers dovish signals, I’m expecting increased volatility and possibly more downside. Stay sharp, protect your capital.

What's next? - EMA 9/21: Clearly broken above and now being tested as support - Bollinger Bands: Price touched the upper band — possible overbought condition - Coinbase Premium: +15.56 — rare! Indicates real spot demand - RSI: 66.12 — approaching overbought territory, suggesting momentum is weakening, but not yet at an extreme level ✅ Positives: - The price rally is supported by volume (SPX) - RSI is climbing, but not at extreme levels yet - EMA 9 > EMA 21 — a strong bullish signal - Coinbase Premium turned positive for the first time in hours — a significant shift ⚠️ Warning signs: - SPX is overheated on RSI — potential short-term profit-taking or pullback ahead - Price is above the upper Bollinger Band — often followed by a correction - ETH hasn't caught up with the momentum — potential divergence risk We’re currently seeing a genuine momentum, not just manipulation — but it’s already entering a potential profit-taking or pause zone. If the next candle prints a long upper wick and volume drops, a pullback is likely.

EUR/GBP (1H) – Rising Wedge Breakdown & Short Trade Setup1. Overview of Market Structure The EUR/GBP pair is forming a Rising Wedge Pattern, a well-known bearish reversal formation, which suggests that the current uptrend may soon reverse into a downtrend. The price has been moving within a tightening range, making higher highs and higher lows, but the upward momentum appears to be weakening. A breakdown from this wedge is a strong bearish signal, indicating that sellers are gaining control, and a significant price drop is expected. 2. Chart Pattern: Rising Wedge – Bearish Reversal A Rising Wedge is a pattern that occurs when price moves upward within a contracting range. This pattern typically forms after an uptrend and suggests that bullish momentum is slowing down. Characteristics of the Rising Wedge in This Chart: The price has tested the upper resistance zone multiple times, but each attempt has resulted in a rejection. The lower support trendline has been tested frequently, showing that buyers are losing strength. The breakdown of the wedge signals a strong bearish move, with price expected to drop toward key support levels. This pattern becomes valid once the price breaks below the lower trendline, confirming the bearish outlook. 3. Key Technical Levels & Zones A. Resistance Zone (0.84853) – Strong Supply Area Marked as a Resistance Zone, where price has struggled to break through. Sellers have stepped in around this level multiple times, preventing any further bullish movement. Acts as a major stop-loss level for bearish trades, as a breakout above this zone could invalidate the setup. B. Support Zones (Potential Take-Profit Targets) 1st Support Level (TP1) – 0.82539 This level has previously acted as strong support, where buyers have entered the market before. A short-term pullback or consolidation may occur here. 2nd Support Level (TP2) – 0.81332 This is the final bearish target, marking a key demand zone from where price has bounced in the past. If bearish momentum continues, price could reach this level, making it an ideal take-profit zone for swing traders. 4. Trading Strategy & Execution A. Entry Strategy A short trade is ideal after the price breaks below the rising wedge pattern. There are two possible entries: Aggressive Entry: Enter immediately after the breakout of the lower trendline, anticipating strong downside momentum. Higher risk as price might retest the trendline before moving down. Conservative Entry: Wait for a retest of the broken trendline before entering short. This confirms the breakdown, reducing false breakout risks. B. Stop-Loss Placement Stop-loss should be placed just above the resistance zone (0.84853). This prevents being stopped out by minor pullbacks before the actual move happens. C. Take-Profit Targets TP1: 0.82539 (First major support level – potential profit booking area) TP2: 0.81332 (Final bearish target – strong demand zone) 5. Risk Management & Trade Management Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RRR) This trade offers a high RRR, making it an attractive setup. The stop-loss is small compared to the potential downside move. Trailing Stop Strategy A trailing stop can be used to lock in profits as price moves lower. If price reaches TP1, move stop-loss to breakeven to secure capital. If price reaches TP2, close the trade for maximum profit. Exit Strategy Exit early if price fails to break key support zones. Monitor price action around TP1 & TP2 for signs of reversal. 6. Sentiment Analysis & Market Context Bearish Confirmation: Breakdown from the wedge signals bearish sentiment in the market. If price fails to sustain above support zones, further downside is likely. News & Fundamentals: Major economic events or interest rate decisions could impact EUR/GBP volatility. Traders should check for UK & Eurozone news before entering the trade. 7. Conclusion – Bearish Outlook The Rising Wedge breakdown is a strong short-selling opportunity. Confirmation is key: Enter short after the breakdown, use proper risk management, and aim for TP1 & TP2. If price invalidates the pattern by breaking above 0.84853, the trade setup should be reconsidered. This setup provides a high-probability bearish trade with a well-defined stop-loss and risk-to-reward ratio.

EUR/USD – Bullish Flag Pattern & Trade SetupTechnical Analysis & Trade Plan for TradingView Idea This chart illustrates a Bullish Flag Pattern on the EUR/USD 1-hour timeframe, suggesting a potential continuation of the prevailing uptrend. Below is a detailed breakdown of the market structure, key levels, and a professional trading strategy. 📌 Chart Pattern: Bullish Flag Formation The Bullish Flag is a continuation pattern that forms after a strong upward price movement, followed by a short period of consolidation within a downward-sloping channel. It signals a brief pause before the trend resumes. Flagpole: The sharp price increase before the consolidation. Flag: The corrective downward movement forming a small parallel channel. Breakout Potential: A confirmed breakout above resistance could lead to a further bullish rally. 🔍 Key Technical Levels & Market Structure 🔵 Resistance Level (Supply Zone) The upper boundary of the flag pattern acts as resistance. A breakout above this level could trigger a strong buying opportunity. 🟢 Support Level (Demand Zone) The lower boundary of the flag provides support. Price is currently testing this zone, which is a critical decision point. 🎯 Target Price: 1.14544 (Projected Move) The price target is calculated based on the height of the flagpole added to the breakout point. This aligns with a previous significant resistance area. 📈 Trading Strategy & Execution Plan ✅ Entry Criteria: A confirmed breakout above the flag's resistance level with a strong bullish candlestick. Increased trading volume supporting the breakout. 🚨 Risk Management: Stop Loss: Placed below the support zone of the flag to manage risk in case of a false breakout. Take Profit Target: At 1.14544, aligning with the measured move of the flag pattern. 📊 Trade Confirmation Indicators: RSI (Relative Strength Index): A reading above 50 confirms bullish momentum. Moving Averages (50 EMA/200 EMA): A bullish crossover would strengthen the buying signal. Volume Analysis: A breakout should be accompanied by high trading volume for confirmation. ⚠️ Potential Risks & Alternative Scenarios Fake Breakout: If the price breaks out but lacks volume, it could be a false signal. Bearish Reversal: If price breaks below the support zone, the bullish flag setup becomes invalid. Market Sentiment Shift: Unexpected news events can impact price movement. 📝 Summary The EUR/USD pair has formed a Bullish Flag Pattern, signaling a possible continuation of the uptrend. A breakout above the resistance level would confirm the pattern and provide a strong buying opportunity. Risk management is essential, with a stop loss placed below the support level. Final Target: 1.14544, based on the flagpole’s measured move. 💡 Conclusion: A well-structured breakout above resistance could lead to a bullish rally toward 1.14544. However, patience and confirmation are key before entering the trade.

Gold/Silver Ratio Nears 100: What Does It Mean Historically?The Gold/Silver ratio is on the verge of reaching 100, an extremely rare level seen only at key historical turning points. The chart includes a 2,500-week linear regression channel, which shows that over the very long term, the ratio has been steadily rising, though at a slow pace. Occasionally, the ratio touches the 1.5 standard deviation line, and in rare, game-changing events, and sometimes it even breaks beyond that level. Here are some of the key historical turning points marked by major spikes in the Gold/Silver ratio: 1- Early 1990s: The collapse of the Soviet Union, the Gulf War, and a U.S. recession pushed the ratio to 106. It remained above 1.5 standard deviations for more than two years. 2- 2002: Following the dot-com bubble burst, the 9/11 attacks, and the Iraq War, the ratio climbed to 82.6, nearing the 1.5 deviation line. 3- 2008 Recession: The global financial crisis triggered by the collapse of Lehman Brothers sent the ratio to 88.50. This spike sparked a major rally in both gold and silver, lasting until 2011 when the ratio reached one of its deepest bottoms. 4- 2019: The U.S.–China trade war under Trump’s first term pushed the ratio to 93, again nearing the 1.5 deviation threshold. 5- 2020 (COVID-19 Shock): The pandemic caused one of the biggest disruptions in modern economic history. Although relatively short-lived, its impacts were severe. The Gold/Silver ratio surged to 126 , marking the highest level in modern records, possibly the highest in all of history. 6- 2024–2025 (Global Trade War?): With the U.S. imposing major tariffs on key global trading partners, this could be another historic inflection point. The full impact is still unfolding, but risks of a serious global slowdown, or even a deep recession are rising. A full-scale trade war remains a real possibility. Now, the Gold/Silver ratio is approaching 100 and nearing the 1.5 standard deviation line. It remains unclear whether this represents a powerful pair trade opportunity—"sell gold, buy silver"—or a structural breakout where the ratio stays elevated for an extended period. In either case market is showing that this is one of the rare turning point of global economy.

AUDUSD buy ideaRegarding the recent tariff imposed by the US President, this currency pair has been negatively impacted and is expected to continue its downward trend. The price is likely to find support at either the 4-hour demand zone or the daily Order Block, which is located just below. To capitalize on this potential trading opportunity, consider placing a buy stop limit order instead of a limit order. I anticipate the price to stabilize at one of these two key zones.

JPY/USD – Rising Wedge Breakdown & Bearish Trading Setup1. Market Structure & Technical Pattern: The Japanese Yen (JPY) against the U.S. Dollar (USD) has been exhibiting a clear Rising Wedge Pattern over the past few months. This is a classic bearish reversal pattern, indicating that buying momentum is gradually weakening, and a strong decline is likely to follow. Formation of the Rising Wedge: The price has been making higher highs and higher lows, confined within two converging trendlines (black lines). The lower boundary (support trendline) has been consistently acting as a dynamic support level. The upper boundary (resistance trendline) has been limiting further upward movement, indicating exhaustion of buying pressure. Breakout Confirmation: The price action tested the resistance zone multiple times but failed to sustain bullish momentum. A strong rejection from the upper resistance level led to a sharp sell-off, causing a breakdown of the support trendline. Once the price broke below the wedge, selling pressure intensified, confirming the trend reversal. 2. Key Technical Levels & Zones: Resistance Level (0.006895): The price previously struggled to break above this resistance zone, forming a strong supply area where sellers dominated. This level aligns with the upper boundary of the rising wedge, making it a significant turning point. The rejection from this zone initiated the bearish breakdown. Support Level (Broken – 0.006650): This level acted as a strong demand zone, preventing further downside movement during the wedge formation. However, once the price broke below this level, it confirmed the end of the uptrend and the beginning of a downtrend. This level may now act as a new resistance (role reversal principle). Stop Loss Placement (Above 0.006895): A logical stop-loss is placed just above the resistance level to protect against a potential invalidation of the bearish setup. If the price closes above this level, the bearish thesis would be invalidated. 3. Trading Execution & Risk Management: Sell Entry Strategy: Traders looking for short positions should enter after a confirmed break below the wedge’s support. A potential pullback (retest) to the broken trendline could offer an additional shorting opportunity. The retest would confirm the previous support turning into resistance before a continuation of the downtrend. Take Profit Targets (TP1 & TP2): TP1 (0.006481): This level represents a strong demand zone where short-term buyers may step in. Traders may choose to book partial profits here. TP2 (0.006251): This is a deeper support level and the final target for this trade setup. If the price sustains bearish momentum, it is likely to reach this level before stabilizing. Risk-to-Reward Ratio Consideration: This setup offers a high probability short trade with an attractive risk-to-reward ratio. The stop-loss is well-defined, minimizing potential losses while maximizing profit potential. 4. Expected Price Movement & Projection: Short-term Outlook: A possible pullback to the broken wedge (previous support now acting as resistance) before continuation lower. If the price retests and rejects the 0.006650 level, expect acceleration in the downtrend. Medium-term Outlook: If the price reaches TP1 (0.006481) and breaks below, it increases the probability of hitting TP2 (0.006251). A bearish trend continuation could form, potentially leading to further downside levels. Invalidation Scenario: If the price closes above the stop-loss level (0.006895), the bearish setup is invalidated, and a bullish breakout could follow instead. 5. Conclusion & Trading Plan: The rising wedge breakdown signals a shift from bullish to bearish market sentiment. Traders should look for short entries after a confirmed breakdown or wait for a pullback before executing trades. The risk-to-reward ratio makes this a strong high-probability trade setup. Following the plan with strict stop-loss placement ensures risk is controlled while maximizing profit potential. 6. Summary & Key Takeaways: ✅ Pattern: Rising Wedge (Bearish Reversal) ✅ Breakout Direction: Downside ✅ Resistance Level: 0.006895 ✅ Support Levels: 0.006650 (broken), 0.006481 (TP1), 0.006251 (TP2) ✅ Stop-Loss Placement: Above 0.006895 ✅ Profit Targets: TP1 – 0.006481, TP2 – 0.006251 ✅ Trade Bias: Bearish

IS THE GLOBAL “BIG SHORT” ON ITS WAY?TRADE WAR WARNING – IS THE GLOBAL “BIG SHORT” ON ITS WAY? In the last 24 hours, global financial markets were rattled after Donald Trump unveiled a sweeping set of new global tariffs. This wasn’t just a political move — it may well mark the beginning of a new wave of global economic instability. Markets across the board took a hit: 📉 US, European, and Asian equities 📉 Gold (XAU/USD), the US Dollar Index (DXY), and even crypto — all plunged into the red. 🔍 So, What Actually Happened? Gold dropped by over 100 points in a single session — and strangely, the US dollar also fell. Normally, a weaker USD would support gold. So why did gold sell off this time? ➡️ One likely explanation is that institutional investors sold gold positions to cover losses in equity markets, or to free up margin amidst the chaos. 📉 This wasn’t just a correction — it might be the early signal of a global BIG SHORT forming across multiple asset classes. 🧨 The Start of Something Bigger? Markets aren’t just reacting to tariffs. They’re pricing in the risk of a full-scale trade war, which could disrupt global supply chains and hammer corporate earnings. Industries like construction, healthcare, logistics, and manufacturing are already showing signs of strain. If this escalates, we could be looking at something far more serious than a short-term sell-off. 📉 The Data Doesn’t Look Great Either While inflation in the US continues to cool, other key data points are deteriorating: ISM Services PMI (March): 50.8 (vs 53.0 expected) Employment sub-index: 46.2 (down sharply from 53.9) New orders, export orders and backlogs also fell 👉 These are real signs of economic slowdown, especially considering that services make up over 70% of the US economy. 🧠 Market Sentiment: FOMO, Fear, and Panic At the moment, it’s hard to ignore how unsettled sentiment has become. Retail and institutional traders alike are acting on fear. And that’s dangerous. 🔔 Tonight’s Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report could either calm things down — or add more fuel to the fire. 🏦 Will the Fed Cut Rates Sooner? Markets are rapidly shifting their expectations: A rate cut could come as early as May or June 2025 Traders are now pricing in 2 to 4 cuts this year (previously just 2) There’s now a strong chance the Fed pivots earlier than expected If jobs data continues to soften, the Fed may have no choice but to act faster — despite core inflation not yet fully under control. ⚠️ Trading Strategy: Observation Over Action Right now, your best position might be… no position. "Sometimes, the most profitable trade is the one you don’t take." This isn’t the time to chase wild price action. It’s the time to prepare and plan with logic — not emotion. 📊 Key Technical Levels on XAU/USD 🔺 Resistance: 3110 – 3119 – 3136 – 3148 – 3167 🔻 Support: 3086 – 3075 – 3055 – 3040 – 3024 🟢 BUY ZONE: 3056 – 3054 SL: 3050 TP: 3060 – 3064 – 3068 – 3072 – 3076 – 3080 🔴 SELL ZONE: 3148 – 3150 SL: 3154 TP: 3144 – 3140 – 3136 – 3132 – 3128 – 3124 – 3120 💬 Final Thoughts The combination of tariffs, recession fears, and rate cut speculation is building into what could become a perfect storm. Gold is in the eye of that storm. Now is not the time to panic — but to trade with clarity and control. 📌 Don’t let emotion drive your trades. Stick to the chart. Stick to your plan. Protect your capital. 🧠 Patience is what separates the lucky from the consistently profitable.

Detailed Analysis of Silver (XAG/USD) – Double Top BreakoutThe chart represents a technical analysis of Silver (XAG/USD) on the daily timeframe (1D). A Double Top pattern, one of the most reliable bearish reversal formations, is developing. This signals a potential downtrend, with key price levels and trendlines confirming weakness in bullish momentum. Below is a full breakdown of the pattern, price action, and trading setup. 1️⃣ Pattern Formation: Double Top – Bearish Reversal A Double Top pattern occurs when the price reaches a resistance level twice, failing to break higher. It indicates a shift from a bullish trend to a bearish one. 🔹 Characteristics of the Double Top in This Chart: First Peak (Top 1 - Resistance at ~$34.57): The price made a strong move upward, reaching a high near $34.57. Selling pressure at this level pushed the price downward, forming a support level near $30 (Neckline). Pullback & Temporary Support (~$30 Neckline): Buyers stepped in at the support zone, causing a bounce back towards resistance. This level acted as strong demand, preventing further decline temporarily. Second Peak (Top 2 - Rejection at Resistance Again): Price attempted to break above the previous peak but failed. This failure to form a higher high confirms the presence of strong sellers. The second rejection strengthens the resistance level at $34.57, signaling exhaustion in buying momentum. Break of the Trendline Support (Bearish Shift): A previously ascending trendline (black dashed line) was providing support for the uptrend. Price broke below this trendline, indicating a possible trend reversal from bullish to bearish. 2️⃣ Key Technical Levels & Trading Setup 🔸 Resistance Zone (~$34.57 - Stop Loss Area) This is the major resistance level, tested twice and confirmed as a supply zone. A move above $34.57 would invalidate the bearish pattern, making this an ideal stop-loss level. 🔹 Support Level / Neckline (~$30 - Breakdown Confirmation) The neckline acts as a critical level. If the price breaks below $30, the Double Top formation is confirmed. If the price retests this level from below and rejects (fails to reclaim it as support), it becomes a strong short entry signal. 🔻 Target Price (Projected Move - $23.01) The target is based on the measured move rule of a Double Top: Distance from resistance ($34.57) to neckline ($30) ≈ $4.57. Projecting this same distance downward gives a target of ~$23.01. This aligns with historical demand zones, increasing the probability of price reaching this level. 3️⃣ Trading Plan: Short Setup Execution 🔽 Short Entry (Breakdown Confirmation Below $30) Ideal entry point is after the neckline breaks and confirms resistance upon a retest. A breakdown with strong volume enhances the validity of the setup. 🚨 Stop Loss Placement (Above $34.57 Resistance Level) Placing a stop above the second peak ($34.57) ensures protection against invalidation. If price moves back above this level, the pattern fails, indicating a potential return to bullish momentum. 🎯 Target Price ($23.01) – Measured Move Projection The price target aligns with the pattern structure and historical support levels. Traders can take partial profits at intermediary levels ($27–$26) before full target realization. 4️⃣ Additional Confirmation Factors – Confluence for Bearish Bias 1️⃣ Momentum Indicators: RSI & MACD Bearish Signals If RSI (Relative Strength Index) drops below 50, it confirms weakening bullish momentum. A MACD bearish crossover (signal line crossing below the MACD line) would further validate the downtrend. 2️⃣ Volume Analysis – Breakout Confirmation A high volume breakout below $30 confirms selling pressure. Low-volume breakdowns can lead to false breakouts, making volume a crucial factor to watch. 3️⃣ Fundamental Factors – Macro Outlook on Silver (XAG/USD) Silver prices are influenced by interest rates, inflation, and USD strength. If USD strengthens, silver could face more selling pressure, aligning with this bearish technical setup. Any hawkish monetary policy statements could accelerate the downside movement. 5️⃣ Risk Management & Alternative Scenarios ✔️ Ideal Risk-Reward Ratio Risk: Stop loss at $34.57 (~4.5% above entry) Reward: Target at $23.01 (~23% move) Risk-Reward Ratio: ~1:5 (highly favorable for short trades) ⚠️ Bullish Invalidations – When to Avoid the Trade? If Silver reclaims $34.57 and holds above, the pattern fails. A false breakout scenario could occur if price breaks below $30 but quickly moves back above. Watching for bullish divergence on indicators like RSI before entering a short position is recommended. Final Conclusion: Bearish Bias with Strong Downside Potential 📉 Summary of the Bearish Case: ✔️ Double Top pattern confirms a bearish reversal if the neckline breaks. ✔️ Break of ascending trendline signals increasing seller control. ✔️ Key levels: Stop-loss above $34.57 | Entry below $30 | Target $23.01. ✔️ Additional confluence: RSI, MACD, and volume confirmation strengthen the trade setup. 🚀 If price action aligns with this analysis, this setup presents a high-probability short opportunity.

ARBUSDT: What Happens Next Could Shock ManyYello, Paradisers! Are you watching this key level hold by a thread? The market is giving us signals, but most traders are too distracted to see them. If you're not careful here, you’ll be on the wrong side of the next big move. 💎ARBUSDT is currently trading below both the 50 EMA and the 200 EMA, confirming a strong bearish bias in the market. The trend remains in a clear markdown phase, with price action continuing to respect the descending channel, and no clear signs of bullish reversal just yet. 💎We’re approaching a moderate resistance level around $0.32 has already shown signs of weakness if price fails again at this area, it will likely confirm that sellers are still dominating, increasing the probability of a renewed leg down. 💎If the market rejects at current levels, the first key support to watch is around $0.2847, which could be hit quickly. However, the real danger lies below. A breakdown beneath the $0.2847 zone would expose the market to significant downside pressure, opening the path for a much deeper correction. 💎With ARB trading below the 200 EMA, we must remain cautious. The trend remains bearish, and any short term rally into resistance is more likely to present a shorting opportunity than a bullish breakout. 💎Still, if the market manages to close decisively above the $0.35 mark, it could shift the structure and momentum, targeting $0.37 and higher in the short term. Until then, the bias remains with the bears. Stay focused, Paradisers. Be the hunter, not the hunted. MyCryptoParadise iFeel the success🌴
