GBPUSD comments at the beginning of the weekCable had a volatile week, driven almost entirely by top tier US data (US CPI, FOMC forecasts). The welcomed inflation data on Wednesday and subsequent rise in the pair was pulled back a few hours later with more hawkish revisions to the inflation outlook. Since then FX markets have prioritized the hawkish projections over the encouraging inflation data – the reverse of what has been seen in the US stock market as major indices achieved new all time highs. Continued progress in inflation and a more dovish BoE could extend the current move lower, towards 1.2585 and possibly even the 200 SMA.

GOLD recovers, supported by data, key trends, PCE eyes onAs weak economic data supports expectations that the Federal Reserve will begin cutting interest rates this year, putting pressure on the USD, spot gold increased sharply by nearly 30 USD in yesterday's trading session. Today (Friday), investors will receive the most important economic data of the week, US PCE inflation data, which is expected to set the market trend. Some published data has supported the gold market. Essentially, wholesale inventories were lower than expected and the final GDP value fell significantly, dragging down the US Dollar index, thus boosting gold prices. • US quarterly GDP growth in the first quarter was revised slightly to 1.4%, but remained below the 3.4% in the last three months of 2023. GDP report also showed weakness in consumer spending. US consumption growth was adjusted down to 1.5% compared to the previous forecast of 2%. • Data released Thursday also showed initial unemployment claims fell to 233,000 in the week ended June 22. However, in the week ending June 15, the number of people continuing to apply for unemployment benefits increased by 18,000 to 1.839 million, the highest level since late 2021. US PCE inflation data is about to be published At 19:30 Hanoi time today (Friday), US personal consumption expenditure (PCE) price data for May will be released, which could reveal the path of interest rates of the Fed. Surveys show the US PCE price index is expected to be flat month-on-month in May, after rising 0.3% in April. The US PCE price index is expected to rise at a monthly pace. year-on-year was 2.6% in May, following a 2.7% increase in April. In terms of more important core data, the survey shows that the US core PCE price index in May is expected to increase 0.1% monthly, following a 0.2% increase in April; increased at an annual rate of 2.6%, compared with a 2.8% increase the previous month. As the Fed's preferred measure of inflation, year-over-year changes in the core PCE price index have a larger impact on policymakers. The upcoming US core PCE price index for May will act as a short-term catalyst for market trends in general and the gold market in particular. Since gold does not earn interest, falling interest rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding gold, making it more attractive to investors.

Considering the overall technical picture, although the gold price has recovered, it still does not have enough conditions to increase further. The condition for the gold price to continue to recover and increase is that it needs to move up. above the 0.236% Fibonacci retracement level and then the target level can be noticed at 2,365USD in the short term. During the day, the technical outlook for gold does not show further price increases, but instead technical conditions are still supporting a downtrend from the price channel.

Although the US dollar's rise is in line with Trump's comments that he could increase trade tensions and concerns about fiscal extravagance.

GOLD moves sideways awaiting significant fundamental impactOANDA:XAUUSD closed Monday's session higher but still limited by the 0.236% Fibonacci level. Currently price activity hovers around the EMA21 level as investors turn their attention to US jobs data due out later this week, which could provide further clues about a rate cut of the Federal Reserve. U.S. manufacturing activity fell for a third straight month in June as demand for goods weakened and a gauge of factory input prices fell to a six-month low, suggesting inflation may continue to ease. This week, the market will focus on today's (Tuesday) speech by Federal Reserve Chairman Powell, the minutes of the central bank's latest policy meeting on Wednesday and non-payroll data. US agriculture on Friday. US markets will be closed on Thursday for the Independence Day holiday. The market currently expects a 64% chance that the Fed will cut interest rates in September and another rate cut in December. Lower interest rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding gold and make gold more attractive. should be more attractive than holding US Dollar. OANDA:XAUUSD is keeping price activity around the EMA21 level, however, staying above the EMA21 level is a good sign for gold prices as the current $2,324 technical point is also acting as another support. compatible with EMA21. Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is still moving sideways without a clear trend. If the RSI bends and points up, it will be a signal that there is still a lot of room for price growth. The 0.236% Fibonacci retracement level is also currently the resistance that limits the upside potential of gold prices. Once gold breaks this Fibonacci level, which can be confirmed by the $2,345 level, it has all the technical elements. needed for a new bullish cycle with a short-term target around 2,364USD. With current largely sideways price activity, gold will need significant impact from fundamentals to create technical direction. During the day, the trend of gold price is still moving sideways around the EMA21 level, and the price points will be noticed again as follows.

2024-07-04 - priceactiontds - daily update - oilGood Evening and I hope you are well. comment: Good follow through by the bears and a clear break below the bull channel. If we continue down from here, I would be surprised. More likely is another retest from the bulls to 83/84. Selling is strong enough that we have a decent chance of 84.52 being the high of this bull trend that’s now over and we are in a trading range at the highs. Odds strongly favor the bears since we are in a huge triangle. current market cycle: Trading range key levels: 80 - 84 bull case: Bulls failed at the 1h 20ema multiple times today but held it above 82 which means we are forming a smaller descending triangle which will likely break out early tomorrow. Retest of the bull channel to 83.5 is reasonable. Invalid below 82. bear case: Bears showed strength by consecutive decent bear bars on the daily chart. They want the 1h 20ema to be resistance as long as possible and their next target is the daily 20ema at 81.2ish which is also the recent trading range and a magnet. short term: Two bear trend lines which can both work and we will only find out tomorrow. Market should stay below 82.9 if bears are in control. If bulls break above, can see 83.4/84 again. So looking for shorts near 1h 20ema and upper bear trend lines. Long scalps above 83. medium-long term: We are seeing the big triangle playing out between 72 and 86 (could also be 87 but for now I see the spike above 83 as a failed breakout of the triangle. We hit the lower trend line and now we will test back up to above 83. —will update this Wednesday current swing trade: Small short initiated and will add on higher if necessary. Plan to hold this to at least 76 with profit taking/adding on in between. trade of the day: Look at all the bars with a tail above 82.7. That’s more than enough reason and time to place some shorts because market is screaming at you, that bulls are not strong enough above 82.7.

GOLD has dropped to its lowest level in 2 weeksOANDA:XAUUSD fell to its lowest in more than two weeks, weighed down by strength in the US dollar and rising bond yields, while traders looked ahead to US inflation data due later in the week. This According to CME "Fed Watch" data, the probability of the Fed keeping interest rates unchanged in August is 89.7% and the probability of cutting interest rates by 25 basis points is 10.3%. The probability that the Fed will keep interest rates unchanged until September is 37.2%, the cumulative probability of a 25 basis point rate cut is 57.3%, and the cumulative probability of a 50 basis point rate cut is 5 .5%. The focus this week will be on the US Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index, the Fed's preferred inflation measure that could provide guidance on interest rates. If the result is lower than expectations, the Fed is likely to An early federal interest rate cut will increase and support gold prices. The opposite is true if inflation increases. Technical analysis of OANDA:XAUUSD outlook As sent to readers in yesterday morning's edition, gold currently has bearish conditions after the recovery momentum was defeated. Gold has fallen rapidly again and the price has dropped below the price point of 2,300 USD. With current price activity, gold is still leaning towards price possibilities with the main pressure from EMA21 and the current main trend being noticed at the trendline. As long as the rallies fail to take gold prices above the $2,340 technical level, price increases should only be considered short-term corrections and not an uptrend. In the short term, with current price activity, gold is likely to continue to test the $2,286 price level rather than the $2,282 price point of the 0.382% Fibonacci retracement. The intraday trend of gold price is a downtrend and is noted as follows.

#202428 - priceactiontds - weekly update - wti crude oil futuresGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr Bears last stand is 84 and my choppy outlook was drawn 3 or 4 weeks ago. My outlook is the same as last weeks. More sideways movement under 84 needed until bears give up or bulls strongly break above again and we will then most certainly see 86 fast and decent chance this time they get to 90 again. I lean slightly bearish. Quote from last week: comment: High of the week was 82.72, so 22 ticks above my lower bull target. Most was said in my tl;dr. Bulls trying to break above 82 but can’t a one single daily close above that price. Market will also break out soon. After last week, I see this as 50/50 who get’s the breakout. comment: Bulls got the breakout again, retested it and held above 82.74. I do think the high is here in the price area below 86 but market will probably have to spend more time here before bears can potentially trade it back down. In April we spent 14 days at the highs until market broke below, retested and went down for good. I expect the same pattern. current market cycle: trading range inside the big triangle. Market should stay below 86 or this take is probably wrong. On smaller tf we are still inside the bull channel. key levels: 80-86 bull case: Another breakout for the bulls but the volume is increasing and the selling pressure is building. If bulls can keep this long enough above 80, bears might give up again and the trend could continue but it’s hard to argue after 3 pushes up and the clear triangle pattern on higher tf. Invalidation is below 81.3. bear case: Bears want this to be a lower high since market has been doing this for 2 years now. April high was 86.27 so there is your sl if you want to short this. I do think bears want to break the bull channel first, put in another retest of 84ish for a tripple top or head & shoulders before they sell more aggressively again. They see this bull trend with the 3 pushes as done and now they want to get back below 75 again. You play the best pattern on the highest time frame because the higher the time frame the more reliable the pattern is. If multiple pattern on multiple tf align, even better. On a 1h chart we are also forming bull wedges which can break to the downside any day now. Invalidation is above 86.27. outlook last week: “short term: Still slightly favoring the bulls because of the highers highs and higher lows but breakout above need to happen next week. Once we hit 83/84, I think next 10 points will be made to the down side again.” → Last Sunday we traded 81.54 and now we are at 83.16. High was 84.52 and I gave you 84. +246 if you will. Hope you made some. short term: Bearish but I wait for bull channel break and bigger selling pressure. Can come fast or take the whole week. All bullish targets are met and as I wrote last week, next 10 points will probably be made to the down side. medium-long term: We are seeing the big triangle playing out between 72 and 82/84. The high of the triangle got tested until mid of April and we have now tested the lows around 72.5. We are at the bear trend line and odds favor the bears if they stay below 86.27 for trading back down below 76 again. current swing trade: Will short once we break the bull channel and we see decent selling pressure. chart update: Removed the bull wave series but all bearish patterns were drawn 2-3 weeks ago.

#202428 - priceactiontds - weekly update - gold futures Good Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr gold: Strong consecutive bull bars in a trading range but still a lower high. Once bulls break above 2406, market is free to go back above 2440 but I wait for confirmation. Bears not having good arguments here for reversing this. Only a strong 1h close below the 1h 20ema would raise the odds for the bears. Quote from last week: bull case: Bulls keeping it above support but can not print consecutive daily closes above the daily 20ema. Will probably see a breakout over the next 1-2 weeks. comment: Bulls got the breakout above and 2 good looking bull bars above the daily 20ema. Above 2407 we can expect bears to give up and a retest of 2460 or higher. Market is amazingly symmetrical. 3 tries to drop below 2300 and we are probably seeing the 3rd try at printing above 2477 over the next days. It’s a big trading range and I will long this above 2407 for 2460+ and will short this above 2460, once market turns around again. Maybe bulls can print a higher high or maybe they don’t, it does not matter since you wait for the clear reversal before shorting again. On the weekly and monthly tf market is having huge tails above the bars and market has not closed a monthly bar above 2350. After this retest of 2460/2500, I expect a deeper pullback to the low of this current bull wedge/channel 2250 and likely even deeper over the next 6-12 months down to the big bull trend line starting 2018, which would be around 2000. current market cycle: trading range until 2300 or 2407 is broken. If bulls break above, trading range is expanded again up to 2480 key levels: 2300 - 2480 bull case: Bulls are right below the previous high at 2406 and the move up is strong enough to give the odds here to the bulls. Market tried repeatedly to break below 2300 and could not do it, so bears giving up here and want to short higher for better value. Measured move from Thu/Fri would bring us exactly to 2465. Another reason for this up move is the weekly 20ema which is at 2310 and we missed it by a couple of points. Invalidation is below 2300. bear case: Bears failed 3 times at 2300 over the past 4 weeks and now want higher prices for better shorts, which means they are mostly giving up. They know that we are in a trading range for 3 months and the r:r for shorts above 2460 is much better than for the bulls. Bears need to keep the monthly closes below 2350 or risk attracting more bulls buying high. Invalidation is above 2510. outlook last week: “short term: Neutral. Play the triangle.” → Last Sunday we traded 2339 and now we are at 2397. Perfect outlook. short term: Neutral until break above 2407. Bullish above medium-long term: For now I think the most reasonable outlook I could give is a trading range 2200-2500. This could hold for some time. Bear in my still thinks this rally is moronic and we will see 2000 again this year but that’s as unreasonable of an outlook one could hold so don’t. —unchanged current swing trade: Will go long above 2407 and look for shorts above 2460. Chart update: Removed bear trend lines.

#202428 - priceactiontds - weekly update - sp500 e-mini futuresGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr sp500: 3 Best looking bull bars very late in the trend, breaking above two strong resistance lines. 75% that this is a bull trap and we break down Mo/Tu below 5580 and be on our way to test the daily 20ema and the lower bull wedge/channel line. Will short this on weakness on Monday. Next 500-1000 points are made to the downside. Can I be wrong? Absolutely and everything can and will happen in the markets. Markets can remain irrational longer than you can stay solvent. Yadayadayada. Quote from last week: comment: Bulls got their retest as written and now market is technically free to have a major trend reversal. June was a perfect bull trend from the beginning of the month. Market had 3 legs up with a two legged correction completed now. We could spend more time at the highs in a trading range or have a deeper pullback from here, which is my preferred path forward. The bull trend line will probably be tested around 5460 and there market will decide if it wants to stay above 5400 or get down to 5320/5350. comment: Market tested 5500 twice and since it found no sellers down there, bears stepped aside and bulls printed 3 climactic bull bars very very late in this trend. The odds that this is a legit breakout above multiple resistance lines is very low. Much more likely is a bull trap and market will reverse over the next 1-5 days. current market cycle: Bull trap and the end of this trend is near. Will soon see a deeper pullback and we will form a trading range where the low is 5000. key levels: 5500 - 5630 bull case: Bulls see this AI bubble as legit and markets can only go up. Breaking above the bull trend line from 2023-01 is ok bc Daddy Jensen is signing breasts. That the markets are only held by 7 stocks is also a big buy signal since most eco indicators are puking. Don’t know what to tell you here. Market can obviously go much higher for longer and we can print a couple of higher highs. But I will never join the “this time it’s different” crowd. The only sure thing before bubbles popping is that markets print more and more ridiculous highs while more and more people say “it’s really different this time” and they always popped and always will. That’s the nature of the game. Am I saying you should short this right now? No. Do you want to buy this at 5621? If your answer is yes, I do hope you make money, enjoy my letter and take something from it. Invalidation is below 5580. bear case: 16 Month old bull trend line and couple of more where market want’s to break above on low volume and declining economic activity across the board. Good luck with that. Will never buy into the frenzy. Bull trap most likely and I want to see strong selling before joining. Bears first target is 5500 and shortly after probably the gap close to 5430. Invalidation is above 5630. outlook last week: short term: Neutral until bears get follow through and print lower lows below 5500. I’d short to 5490 and see how market reacts to the daily ema. If the support is weak, more shorting to 5450ish. Absolutely no interest in buying here. → Last Sunday we traded 5521 and now we are at 5621. Meh outlook. Was bearish if market would go below 5500 but it never did, so nothing lost or gained here. short term: Most likely outcome for me is a bull trap above 5600 and we will see a correction over the next weeks. I wait for bear strength before shorting. I will only continue to buy quick momentum scalps if we continue upwards. medium-long term: Bearish if the latest climactic top turns out to be a trap and we trade below 5580 again. If so, we will see a bigger correction down to at least 5450 in the near term and likely also 5300. Still think 5000 will be hit in 2024. current swing trade: None Chart update: Removed the smaller two legged correction and added another bull gap highlighter. Double top did obviously not hold but I still think this is a bull trap and a bigger two legged move sideways to down is more likely.

BTC - Update on my Short / Strategy I suspect that Bitcoin will break down and hit 7,000 to 10,000. I’ve heard many remarks about this being unrealistic or impossible, but the reality is the chart is respecting the prediction and trendlines. While bitcoin can execute a zig zag pattern (34,000 - 45,000 - 8,000) - it technically doesn’t have to. If the TA pattern supports a move to be executed by a measured move, there is no way of stating what’s possible or not in the path towards that level. As an update to my TA - I’d like you to encourage yourself to stay open minded that if that low level is hit, it isn’t an apocalypse - it’s a measured drop from a technical analysis pattern. Assuming this does in fact happen, most people would be too fearful to buy in at that zone - and I am in fact encouraging you to do that. Suspect a resistance level is approximate around 55,700 to 56,000 God speed

GOLD MARKET ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY - [June 24 - June 28]On Friday (June 21), when data released by S&P Global showed that US PMI data for June were generally better than expected, the US Dollar strengthened and spot gold plummeted more than 38 USD. Spot gold closed down 1.63% at $2,321.64/ounce; Spot gold prices decreased 0.47% this week, with a total trading range between 2,368.74 and 2,306.68 USD. COMEX gold futures closed down 1.45% at $2,373.80/ounce; COMEX silver futures closed down 4.03 U.S. business activity hit a 26-month high in June amid a recovery in employment and a significant reduction in price pressures. The US Dollar Index (Dxy), closed up 0.16% at 105.83 on Friday. • Data released on Friday showed the June S&P Global Manufacturing PMI U.S. prelim was 51.7, the forecast was 51 and the previous was 51.3. • The initial value of services PMI is 55.1, the expected value is 53.7 and the previous value is 54.8. • The initial comprehensive PMI value is 54.6, the expected value is 53.5 and the previous value is 54.5. This is the highest level since April 2022, following May's 54.5. According to CME Group's FedWatch tool, traders now see a 65.9% chance the Fed will cut interest rates in September, little changed from late Thursday. Lower interest rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold and this supports gold prices. Market uncertainty remains extremely high as markets try to guess the Fed's next move. About the Fed this past week Several Fed officials spoke during the past trading week, with many emphasizing that more evidence of cooling inflation is needed before cutting interest rates. These statements supported the trend of the US Dollar during the week. • Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari said on Thursday that the Fed will bring inflation back to its 2% target, but estimated it could take 1 - 2 years. • Chicago Fed President Goolsby said Thursday that policymakers will be able to cut interest rates if inflation continues to cool as it did last month. In an interview Thursday, Goolsby talked about the May consumer prices report, which showed core inflation fell for the second straight month. • Fed Governor Coogler said Tuesday that it could be appropriate for the Fed to cut interest rates "later this year" if economic conditions develop as she expects. • St. Fed President Louis Mussallem said in his first major policy speech that it may take "several quarters" of data to support an interest rate cut. • New York Fed President Williams and Fed President Richmond Barkin were reluctant to provide a specific time frame for interest rate cuts, but all officials emphasized the important role of economic data in the process. policy promotion process. • Philadelphia Fed President Harker said Monday that based on his current forecast, he thinks a rate cut this year is appropriate. This underscores the signal that interest rates may remain high. • Over the weekend, Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari said the Fed will wait until December before cutting interest rates. Federal Reserve policymakers have kept borrowing costs at their highest level in nearly a year and appear to be in no hurry to lower them. Just last week, Fed officials expected just one rate cut in 2024, down from three forecast in March.

2024-07-03 - priceactiontds - daily update - sp500Good Evening and I hope you are well. overall market comment Indexes - SP500 and Nasdaq outdid themselves today again. You still can’t convince me this is another breakout above. SP500 is still marginally higher and it’s a trading range at the highs. Nasdaq broke above the bull wedge and channel and I absolutely expect it to fail over the next 1-5 days and trade down below 20000. Commodities - Gold had a huge bull break above previous support and above the upper triangle line. The pullback tested that line and market held above. If bulls confirm this tomorrow, we will see 2400 and probably higher again. Oil printed a lower high below 84 but bears would need strong selling from here on and a lower low below 82 to confirm it. Oil could trade more sideways before another breakout to either side. Bitcoin continued perfectly inside the bear trend and dropped below 60000 again. Bulls might try one more time to get above 62000 but if this one fails, decent chance we will test 50000 next. It’s a strong sell the rip market and you should not look to buy. sp500 e-mini futures comment: Strong follow through for the bulls since bears could not keep it below 5580. Made a new ath but still not above 5600. Bulls were strong enough that we can expect 5600 to print at least once. Can they get another push up? I have no idea. Still inside the margins of this trading range at the top but I won’t rule out that we can’t print 5650 or higher. Today’s data was really bad but market did not care. No reason why it should turn around tomorrow on low volume or on a Friday. I won’t get tired writing it. If you are bullish at this stage of this bull cycle, no one can help you. Not saying you should not get long on days like today but your long term longs should have a tight stops. Once the euphoria vanishes, it will go down fast when everyone will look for the exit. It’s as unsustainable as it gets. current market cycle: Max bullishness & peak bubble territory. Literally the peakiest of the peaks. Mother of all bubbles. Will end over the next weeks. —unchanged key levels: 5560 - 5600 bull case: Bulls want to keep the party going and if they can stay above the 1h 20ema, they could do another leg up. No deeper reasoning here. If big green bars appear again, buy. Invalidation is below 5560. bear case: No idea if bears step aside for another leg. Can see this turning here after more sideways movement. I would not expect big swings on a US holiday tomorrow. Invalidation is above 5610. short term: Neutral af again. At multiple resistances I won’t do anything. Will look for longs on strong buying near the 1h ema or the lower bull wedge line. If bears appear, need a break of both mentioned before shorting. medium-long term: Bearish. We will see 5000 over the next weeks again and 4600 over the next 12 months. Will update this time and price wise over the weekend but I expect to at least see 5000 over the next months in 2024. —updated weeks to months. current swing trade: None trade of the day: Buy anything. 5m 20ema was your guide today. Could have literally bought any touch.

GOLD has rising technical conditions, geopolitical risksDespite the increase in the US Dollar and US Bond Yields, spot gold prices still increased by nearly 32 USD in yesterday's trading day, currently reported at about 2,360 USD/ounce. Data released by the US on Thursday showed that the number of initial applications for unemployment benefits in the US in the week to June 15 was 238,000, compared to the previous forecast of 235,000. The number of new homes built in the US in May fell to the slowest level in four years as rising interest rates weakened the housing sector's growth momentum earlier this year. Data showed new home construction in the US fell at an annual rate of 5.5% in May, compared with expectations for a 1.1% increase. In addition, the total number of construction permits in the US in May was 1.386 million, lower than the expected level of 1.45 million. Data last week showed labor market and price pressures were easing, while weak retail sales data released on Tuesday showed economic activity remained sluggish in the second quarter. According to data from CME Fed's "FedWatch," traders currently see about a 64.1% chance that the Fed will cut interest rates in September. Because gold does not yield interest, interest rates are falling, reducing the opportunity cost of holding gold and driving up gold prices. Rising geopolitical risks have fueled gold's bullish trend. Tensions are rising in the Middle East as Israel threatens to attack Lebanon. Combined with the recently signed agreement between Russia and North Korea through President Putin's state visit, this could increase the appeal of gold as it increases geopolitical risks in the region. , is currently trading near key resistance levels reported to readers in yesterday's edition.

On the overall technical picture, gold is technically well positioned to rally with the nearest support noted by the EMA21 level, the 0.236% Fibonacci retracement, and the $2,345 technical point as previous resistance for now. is to become support. During the day, gold's technical outlook supports the possibility of price increases with notable technical levels listed as follows.

2024-07-02 - priceactiontds - daily update - nasdaqGood Evening and I hope you are well. nasdaq e-mini futures comment: What a bull day… Just straight up buying all the way up. Market did not touch the 15m ema once since 30mins before us open. Happy for everyone who were long since below 19970 and held. Still a lower high but given the strength of today, some follow through is expected. current market cycle: Max bullishness & peak bubble territory. Literally the peakiest of the peaks. Mother of all bubbles. Will end over the next weeks. —unchanged key levels: 19700 - 20100 bull case: Bulls want a measured move up from the strong buying today, which could bring this to 20600. Sounds insane but that’s what the chart is showing. First target for the bulls is till to make this a higher high again and for that they need to trade above 20273. If they do that, I don’t think this will be stopped until a much higher ath. Invalidation is below 20100. bear case: Not having much for the bears here. They just vanished today since US open. They need to do everything they can to keep this a lower high below 20273 or bulls will make a new ath. IF bears can reverse this, 20000 is the magnet we are oscillating around. I don’t have much fantasy how this market could do another meltup to be honest but price is truth and the chart is screaming “*explicit* your puts” and wants higher. Invalidation is above 20273. short term: Max bullish above 20273 for new ath but inner bear in me hopes this reverses again. I don’t have any open positions on this. medium-long term: This climactic blow off top was the grand finale of this bull trend. Perfect break above multiple patterns which I expect is a bull trap and we will test the various support lines next before the new bear trend will unfold over the next 3-9 months. current swing trade: None trade of the day: just buy anywhere around the us open and hold. 15m ema was not touched once.
