gold: Bulls bought the first pullback and I expect bears to try again. Market went sideways which shows strength by the bulls to keep it above 2500. Next week will be important because so far the highest monthly close was 2472 and a monthly close above 2500 would confirm the breakout again. Bears need consecutive bear bars below 2500 and bulls a daily close above 2550. Neutral going into next week.
Quote from last week:
comment: Bulls got a new ath but the highest monthly close so far was 2473 and there is no reason to expect a huge breakout above 2550 with follow through. If it happens, hopp along but odds favor the bears for another reversal like so many times in the last 4 months. No matter how you interpret the patterns on the chart, all favor a reversal and betting on a breakout after 4 months of trading range price action is a losing strategy in the long run. I am neutral and wait for bears to show strength but will join the bulls on a strong breakout above 2550.
comment : Did we learn anything from a sideways week? We have a bullish pattern and a technical textbook pullback a bit above the ema. Bulls bought it and that is bullish. But only a break above 2570 is confirmation. Resistance is always that until it breaks, no matter how strong you think the trend is/looks/feels and this trend inside a 5 month trading range is not strong so far. Bulls are trying the breakout and the monthly close will be the most important for them. If they manage their first close above 2500, it would be a confirmation and buy signal going into September. What could be a potential target above? Since the trading range was mostly between 2300 - 2500ish, we can do a measured move up and that would bring us to the ballpark around 2700.
current market cycle: trading range for many months now and it’s probably coming to an end over the next weeks/months —unchanged
key levels: 2400 - 2550
bull case: Bulls raised their odds of this breakout being real last week. Next week is their do or die moment for this. It’s either break above 2550 and get a daily close above or fail again and trade back down to the lower bull wedge or even 2300. I do think 2540-2570 is a dead zone for trading long. If we get near 2520-2530 I consider buying but not above. Odds currently favor the bulls slightly.
Invalidation is below 2500.
bear case: Nothing changed for the bears. Either stop the bulls below 2570 or give up for 2600 and potentially 2700 over the next weeks. Bears need a 1h close below 2500 badly. That’s it. If you are short Gold right now, don’t come to me hoping for bear porn. I’m long past that phase in Gold. Do I still think this is overvalued and can crash below 2000 again? Bet. Will this save your underwater shorts? Hell naw. Get out now or latest at 2571.
Invalidation is above 2571.
outlook last week:
short term: Neutral until bears come around or strong break above 2550. If bears build good selling pressure, I want a retest of 2500 first and lower i look for 2470.
→ Last Sunday we traded 2537 and now we are at 2546. Bulls got above 2550 but big rejections only. Neutral outlook was perfect since we closed 9 points above last week.
short term: Exactly the same as last week. Bears had a pullback and bulls bought it. Inherently bullish but only if bulls can break above 2570.
Neutral until bears come around or strong break above 2570. If bears build good selling pressure, I want a retest of 2500 first and lower i look for 2470.
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 since May
current swing trade: None.
chart update: Added bull wedge trend line and measured move target #1.

#202435 - priceactiontds - weekly updateGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
sp500: 53 points to a new ath is a small spike at this point. Whenever a market is this close to an obvious magnet, it’s reasonable to assume that it will get there. Will it be a big difference if the high stays below 5700 or goes above 5721? Not really. You simply can not short this and put your stop a tick above the previous ath. Bulls are in control and until bears print consecutive bear bars below 5600, it stays that way.
Quote from last week:
comment : Not much difference to dax, just that this market was a tat stronger even. Bulls almost reversed completely but 7 consecutive bull bars is as climactic as it gets. A pullback is due but that does not mean you can short it at 5578. Could go further since the obvious pain trade is up.
comment : Bears produced the first bigger bear bar after almost 10% in 10 bars. It was also the first pullback (price goes below the previous bar low) in this bull trend inside the bigger trading range. As I wrote for dax, I can not be anything but neutral going into next week since we are at previous resistance after a very climactic move up. Bulls want a new ath and bears to keep it a lower high. Volume is picking up again and bears build some decent selling pressure on Thursday + Friday. On the 4h chart you can see 5 legs up without much of pullbacks. Will find out next week how many bulls are interested in buying above 5600.
current market cycle: Bull trend inside bigger trading range.
key levels: 5000-5700
bull case: Bulls closed the bear gap and are free to print a new ath. Bears are not doing enough to make more bulls take profits, so naturally they keep on buying any small dip and pushing it higher. Technically we have two bull trend lines pointing to higher targets above 5721 with one even going to 5900-6000. Can this happen? For sure. After this climactic down than even more climactic up, everything is possible. Is it likely? No.
Invalidation is below 5500.
bear case: Bears see it as a big trading range and we are at the highs again. They start scaling into shorts above 5600. They know the market is overdue for a bigger pullback again and they will add higher, even if we print a new ath. If they can keep this a lower high and print below 5600, I do think we could see more bulls covering their longs. For now bears can mostly hope for a sideways market and stopping the advance. On the monthly chart bears produced a decent doji in July and they want this months bar closing near 5500 to not generate a good buying signal for September.
Invalidation is above 5670.
outlook last week:
short term: Neutral af. Want to see a pullback and also how market reacts to 5600.
→ Last Sunday we traded 5578 and now we are at 5652. 5600 was no bigger resistance. Bulls printed a green week but bears came around and starting making the market more two sided again.
short term: Neutral again. No interest in bigger buying above 5600. Will scalp long if bulls make it clear that they want a new ath but mostly looking for signs of bear strength over the next week. I don’t think bears want July to close above 5600.
medium-long term : Can’t be too bearish after the reversal but same as dax again. Even if we do a new ath, I expect at least 5200 to be hit again this year but probably 5000.
current swing trade: None.
chart update: Removed bear gap and added the possible 5 wave series and a potential bigger two legged correction but that is pure speculation as of now.
GOLD MARKET ANALYSIS AND COMMENTARY - [26 August - 30 August]This week, international OANDA:XAUUSD continued to increase quite strongly from 2,485 USD/oz to 2,531 USD/oz. After that, the gold price dropped to 2,470 USD/oz, then increased to 2,518 USD/oz and closed at 2,512 USD/oz.
Gold prices continued to rise sharply this week because FED Chairman Powell signaled his readiness to cut interest rates in the upcoming meetings at the Jackson Hole Conference. Mr. Powell said that it is time for interest rates to be adjusted downward to support economic recovery. Although Mr. Powell did not specify a specific timeline or scale of interest rate cuts in upcoming meetings, he emphasized that FED officials are laying the foundation for looser monetary policy.
In the context that the FED will certainly cut interest rates in the upcoming meeting, many experts believe that short-term gold prices may continue to increase even higher. However, it may be difficult for gold prices to avoid times when investors take profits, causing gold prices to have downward corrections.
Next week, the gold market will focus on the Personal Consumption Expenditure Index (PCE) for July; GDP in the second quarter; Consumer confidence... In particular, PCE is expected to increase only 0.2%; GDP remains at 2.8% as initially forecast. If as predicted, these data will not have much impact on gold prices next week.
📌Technically, technical indicators are still showing an upward trend in gold prices in the short term. Accordingly, the important support level for gold prices next week is at 2,470 USD/oz. Meanwhile, if it exceeds 2,530 USD/oz, next week's gold price will widen its path towards the 2,590-2,600 USD/oz range.
The trading plan for next week will be to sell around the 2590 mark and buy if the price drops to 2442.
Notable technical levels are listed below.
Support: 2.470USD
Resistance: 2.600 – 2.530USD

GOLD recovered after adjustmentOANDA:XAUUSD spot has adjusted down below the original price mark of 2,500SUSD and is trying to recover. This trading day, investors will have new information from Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's speech, which is expected to cause a major fluctuation in the gold market.

Data from S&P Global showed business activity remained steady even as US manufacturing activity fell for a second straight month. US manufacturing PMI fell to 48.0 again in August; Services PMI increased to 55.2, exceeding expectations.
U.S. Treasury yields rose on Thursday, with the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield in particular rising 6.5 basis points to 3.865%. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the value of the USD against six other currencies, rose and profit-taking could be the main reason gold prices fell below $2,500/ounce ahead of Trump's speech. Powell.
Previously, the minutes of the final meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) on Wednesday unexpectedly showed that the "vast majority" of FOMC participants supported easing policy at the September meeting. if the data matches expectations.
The minutes show that policymakers are increasingly convinced that inflation risks are tilted to the downside, while risks to achieving maximum employment have increased.
The "Jackson Hole Symposium", the annual meeting of global central banks, will be held starting Friday and the market focus will shift to the Federal Reserve Chairman's speech Jerome Powell at today's meeting (Surday).
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's speech in Jackson Hole is expected to lay the foundation for monetary policy direction for the remainder of 2024.
Today (Friday), Federal Reserve Chairman Powell will deliver a speech on the economic outlook at the annual meeting in Jackson Hole. Traders need to pay close attention to this event, because it will bring much stronger volatility.
In a context where the market is unpredictable and increases and decreases of 2-3% are no longer strange or rare, traders need to be prepared for scenarios of price movements of 2-3% in the short term. short time.
Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD
On the daily chart, although gold has corrected below its original price of $2,500, the downside momentum has been limited and recovered from the 0.618% trend-following Fibonacci extension above $2,484, continuing support from the support level of 2,484USD towards a short-term increase at 2,500USD.
As long as gold remains within the price channel, it still tends to increase in the short term, while the long-term trend is fixed by the price channel and medium-term support from EMA21.
In the immediate future, the target will be 2,500 – 2,503 USD, the area of the 0.786% Fibonacci extension. Once gold breaks the 0.786% Fibonacci level it will continue to qualify for a bullish outlook with the next target after that at around $2,531, more so than $2,544.
During the day, the technical outlook for gold prices remains unchanged with the main trend being bullish and notable points are listed as follows.
Support: 2,484 – 2,471USD
Resistance: 2,500 – 2,503 – 2,510USD

2024-08-22 - priceactiontds - daily update - sp500Good Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
Indexes - Strong day by the bears for most markets and on higher volume too. After climactic moves, many traders keep tight stops and won’t let the market run too much against them because they want to secure their profits. Does that mean the market is reversing? Probably not. But deep pullbacks are always possible. In trading rangs the daily 20ema and the 50% (midpoint of the range) are always magnets, so always mark them on your chart. For tomorrow I expect more volatility since we have BOJ Ueda + FED JPOW speaking.
sp500 e-mini futures
comment: Huge day for the bears by closing below 5600. I do think it would be fitting if we close the week with a huge bear reversal candle below 5550 or even 5500. Can we get there? Unlikely but not impossible. Could we also close above 5721? You bet. No one knows where we are going because market has moved in such extremes the past two weeks, that absolutely everything is possible tomorrow. Odds still somewhat favor the bulls to close the week above 5600 but just slightly. Daily ema is around 5500 and that are two good reasons for market to test that price. Anything above 5640 would surprise me tbh.
current market cycle: Bull trend inside the big trading range on the daily chart
key levels: 5500 -5670
bull case: Bulls tried to fight it today but the down moves saw a big increase in volume and bulls could not keep the market above 5600. They need to stay above this price or risk much more downside because I do think many stops will be around 5580-5595 tomorrow. Their first target is a 15m bar close above the ema and then the 1h ema to turn the market neutral again. 50% pullback from today is 5625 and that is also a magnet for tomorrow.
Invalidation is below 5580.
bear case: Bears surprised me today because the strength of the selling was not expected. Market grinded higher first but since the US open we just saw big selling coming through and every rip was sold. If bears do not keep the momentum going tomorrow, they risk another reversal and potentially another meltup to a new ath but that will strongly depend on Jpow and Ueda and how the market will interpret their speeches. Can you forecast this? Don’t bother. Mark key levels on your chart and hop along on the breakout tomorrow.
Invalidation is above 5670.
short term: 5600 is neutral and I wait. Bears need follow through selling below 5580 and bulls a strong reversal. Above 5625 I will consider longs.
medium-long term: Bearish. I gave the 5000 target 3 months ago and we almost got there way earlier than expected. There is a reasonable chance we will see an event unfolding over the next days/weeks. Something breaks during these violent moves and this time will not be different.
current swing trade: Nope.
trade of the day: Sell US open. No reason not to and no reason to exit until 5600 where market stalled too much.
2024-08-22 - priceactiontds - daily update - goldGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
Gold - Bears created a pullback but could not even touch 2500. It’s a little less bullish as of now because the bull trend line broke but market is still above 2500 and the daily 20ema so odds favor another the bulls. If bears create follow through below 2500, I turn bearish for 2450 or lower.
comment: Neutral again at 2520 because we are right above the bull trend line from early August and near 2500, which is huge support for now. Odds favor the bulls to test the upper bear trend line around 2540 again. If bears manage to go into the weekend below 2500, this bull leg is most likely over again and we will test back to 2450 or lower.
current market cycle: trading range
key levels: 2500 - 2570
bull case: Bulls still see this above 2500 and inside a trading range at the highs. They are trading above the daily ema and the bull trend line is still valid. I do think the bears will not fight them for 2500 on the first try, so odds favor the bulls to stay inside the current expanding triangle and test back to the upper trend line around 2540. A weekly close above 2540 would be max bullish.
Invalidation is below 2490.
bear case: Bears finally produced more selling pressure and closed at the lows. Whenever bears printed consecutive bear bars above 2500 over the past 4 months, market was not able to hold above and sold off again. Bears expecting this time to be the same, despite the new ath. They want a reversal to 2400 and their target for tomorrow is a close below 2500.
Invalidation is above 2550.
short term: Neutral between 2500-2520, bullish above and bearish below.
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 dumb and we will see 2000 again this year but that’s as unreasonable of an outlook one could hold so DON’T. —adjusted 2450 to 2500
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Selling below bar 8 was decent. Stop had to be above bar 3. Market held below the 1h ema and there was decent selling pressure before.
GOLD corrects, accumulates around 2,500 USD, still positiveOANDA:XAUUSD adjusted slightly downward during the early Asian trading session on August 22, maintaining price activity around the original price of 2,500USD. But overall, the overall picture still shows that gold is fully supported and the price drops are only corrective after a long period of price increases.
Minutes of the Federal Reserve's meeting released Wednesday showed policymakers were inclined to cut interest rates in September, and some participants believed the conditions for a rate cut had been set. Available in July.
“Some believe that recent developments in inflation and rising unemployment support a 25 basis point reduction in the policy rate target range at the meeting,” the meeting minutes said. or they may support such a decision. If data continue to be in line with expectations, further policy easing at the next meeting may be appropriate.”
The current U.S. unemployment rate is higher than the 4% unemployment rate that Federal Reserve officials predicted this year in their updated economic forecast in June. It is also higher than the unemployment rate. 4.2% that Fed policymakers expect by the end of next year.
Additionally, revised nonfarm payrolls data released by the U.S. Department of Labor on Wednesday showed that the number of people employed in the United States over the past year through March was initially revised down to 818,000, here This is the largest downward adjustment since 2009.
This trading day, traders will need to focus on US economic data, with initial jobless claims, PMI data from S&P Global and US housing data.
The number of people applying for unemployment benefits in the US is expected to increase to 230,000 in the week of August 17, up from 227,000 the previous week.
Business activity data published by S&P Global shows that the preliminary value of the US services PMI in August will decrease slightly from 55 to 54. The preliminary value of manufacturing PMI in August is expected to remain unchanged. changed at 49.6.
In addition, US existing home sales in July are expected to increase from 3.89 million units to 3.93 million units.
However, all macro focus will be on tomorrow's event, when Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell will speak at the start of the Jackson Hole Symposium.
Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD

2024-08-21 - priceactiontds - daily update - nasdaqGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
Indexes - All green, all good. Bulls want more climactic buying but have to settle with grinding it up. Bears are not building enough selling pressure to print consecutive bigger bear bars on higher time frames. Only look for longs until that changes. As of now, there is no reason not to expect much higher prices and new ath.
nasdaq e-mini futures
comment: Much two sided trading today but bulls closed it green and they are making higher highs and higher lows. We are close to 20000 and will most likely hit it tomorrow. Market is not stopping so looking for shorts is a bad strategy right now for most traders. Bears built decent selling pressure today but to no avail. Market refuses to go lower as of now. Above 20000 I don’t think bulls have any resistance until 20200 but that is weak resistance at best so it’s not totally out of the question that we will just continue in an almost straight line to 21000. For bears there is nothing but pain right now. They would need a strong 1h close below 19700 for a start and many stops would probably be below 19450-19500.
current market cycle: Bull trend in bigger trading range
key levels: 19500 - 20000
bull case: Bulls only see a 15% up move from the lows and absolutely no reason to exit longs anywhere. They want to dance while the music is playing. Buying is becoming climactic and this increases the odds of a pullback. 20000 is a big round number and we could see the start of some profit taking there but for now I have my doubts.
Invalidation is below 19500.
bear case: Bears are not doing much. They tried multiple times today to keep the market from advancing too much and at least they kept it below 20000 but as long as they are not even touching the 4h 20ema, they have to content with scalps and taking quick profits. The best bears can hope for is to keep it below 20000 but the odds of that are low.
Invalidation is above 20100.
short term: Can’t be anything but bullish above 19700. Below I turn more neutral
medium-long term: This climactic blow off top is/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. —unchanged since 2024-06
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Between the orange lines was decent two sided trading but many many weird spikes and difficult trades to take. Buying 19800 was probably the best today.

2024-08-20 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
Indexes - Got their expected pullback but indexes have still not touched even the 4h 20ema. Markets closed near their open which was near yesterdays close. Mostly. Since bears could not even print something than a bear doji, we can expect more sideways at the highs before we will probably get another breakout above.
dax futures
comment: Bears printed multiple bars below the 1h 20ema. What a time to be alive. Bulls took profits on the insane meltup but bought 18400 again, which has a bull trend line running through it. As long as that holds, bulls are good. If bears come around again tomorrow, open of the week is a magnet at 19379 and the low of the week at 18347. Tomorrow evening we get the FOMC minutes, so best to be flat going into it.
current market cycle: huge trading range
key levels: 17000 - 19000
bull case: Bulls took a breather and kept it above 18400, which is still above the 4h 20ema and max bullish. Below 18347 I think we will see more profit taking and some bigger move down, maybe to the daily ema at 18170. For now bulls remain in control and higher prices are expected as long as above daily ema and the bull trend line intact. For tomorrow I expect mostly sideways movement between 18400 - 18550.
Invalidation is below 18340.
bear case: Bears stopped the train for now and got near the open of the week, which is good for them. They probably made the market more neutral going into FOMC tomorrow evening. If they could break below the bull trend line, we could see 18300 but everything below would be a huge surprise. They probably wont fight the bulls for 18400 too much and come around above 18500 again. Technically the bears can be hopeful because the high is still a lower high below the start of August at 18650 which was also the high tick for the month so far.
Invalidation is above 18650.
short term: max bullish - only look for longs as long bull trend line is intact and we are above 18300. Below we can look for lower targets like the daily ema but it will probably be just a pullback in this bull trend (inside the big trading range on the daily tf)
medium-long term: 17000/17100 was my target for at least 3 months now and bears got it. We are in a correction since we dropped more than 10% from the ath. Many long term trader buy a 5%, 10%, … dip and a bounce here was expected. I do think we are in a bear trend which will most likely lead down to 15600 or 15000 over the next months but we can only be more certain, once this pullback is done and we make new lows below 17000 and have a channel from which we can calculate new targets. I called the highs in early July and there is a decent chance we will not see them for a long time. —unchanged since early July
current swing trade: Nopety nope nope. Only long scalps currently.
trade of the day: I fought the bears too many times today. Denial is the death of your account. It was just bearish since the opening reversal below bar 31. 32 was strong enough to expect more downside but it was also the low of the Globex trading range. Tough to take. Market could not print more then tails and bar 54 above the 15m 20ema and bears had no reason to exit their shorts anywhere. Bad trading on my part today.

comment: Small stop in the meltup but bulls bought it above the bull trend line. Same as for dax that I do not expect anything below 5600 for now and it should not go above 5650 before FOMC or you can consider me surprised. If anything, I’d bet on a bull breakout and not for strong bears.
current market cycle: Bull trend inside the big trading range on the daily chart
key levels: 5600 - 5650
bull case: Bulls are currently buying the 2h 20ema and did so today. If they keep it above 5600 then 5650 is probably a magnet for tomorrow. On the 1h chart posted today was a two legged pullback down to the current channel and odds favor the bulls to trade back up.
Invalidation is below 5600.
bear case: Bears are happy with stopping the advance and scalps. They took profits at new lows today and the market was barely red on the daily chart. I absolutely expect bears to come around big time again but just not right now. Can JPOW surprise the markets this week or can the market look for an excuse to sell it hard again? Sure. Is this more likely than a continuation up? No.
Invalidation is above 5650.
short term: max bullish above 5600. Below I turn neutral and wait.
medium-long term: Bearish. I gave the 5000 target 3 months ago and we almost got there way earlier than expected. There is a reasonable chance we will see an event unfolding over the next days/weeks. Something breaks during these violent moves and this time will not be different.
current swing trade: Nope.
trade of the day: Selling above 5635 was good multiple times but only for scalps tbh.
GOLD slows down but the trend remains unchangedUS dollar falls to 7-month low and yen hits one-week high, Federal Reserve's Kashkari (hawkish) says he is optimistic about interest rate cuts, a a change from the official's stance in June.
OANDA:XAUUSD Spots hit another record high on Monday, and although they later fell, a weaker US dollar and tensions in the Middle East limited the extent of the correction.
TVC:DXY , which tracks the US dollar against six major currencies, fell to 101.97 and touched 101.85, its lowest since January 2, on Monday's trading day.
The market's focus will be on whether Powell's speech in Jackson Hole on Friday indicates that the Fed could cut interest rates by 25 or 50 basis points. Another key focus will be whether Powell signals that a rate cut is possible at each meeting.
Powell also may not be in a hurry to release details this week, as August employment and inflation data have yet to be released before the Fed's September meeting.
Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari of the Federal Reserve, recently stated that he is open to cutting interest rates at the next meeting due to the growing possibility of excessive labor market weakness. This is a change from his stance in June.
Kashkari said the discussion about cutting interest rates has changed because “inflation is progressing and the labor market is showing some worrying signs.”
He believes there is no reason to cut interest rates by more than 25 basis points because the layoff rate remains low and the number of people applying for unemployment benefits is not showing a clear worsening trend.
Geopolitically
Russia's Investigative Committee announced on Monday that a bridge on the Sem river, which flows through the Kursk region, was destroyed in a Ukrainian attack.
The Ukrainian military said the attack was aimed at disrupting Russian supply lines and making it more difficult to mobilize Russian troops and weapons.
Later, Ukrainian President Zelensky elaborated on his goals, saying in his speech: "Now, the top priority in our overall defense operations is to destroy the as much of Russia's war potential as possible and carry out maximum counter-offensive operations. This includes establishing a buffer zone within Russia's territory."
Hamas rejects the ceasefire agreement in the Middle East
Hamas accused the US of "continuing the fight for Israel" after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had accepted transitional proposals for a ceasefire in Gaza and called on Palestinian groups to do the same on one's own.
However, Hamas spokesman Osama Hamdan said the Palestinian group would only “agree to implement” Biden's UN Security Council-backed proposal, which was accepted last month.
Medical sources said Israeli forces had killed at least 35 Palestinians in Gaza in the past 24 hours and Kamal Adwan Hospital warned that 11 children were at risk of death due to fuel shortages, which could lead to close the door.

Indexes - That reversal is something you will not witness often while you are alive. I don’t think there are many arguments beside’s “short squeeze” that could produce such a violent move but then again, who cares why. In my weekly outlook I wrote that I can only be neutral going into this week and all was looking decent until US opened and market almost went up again in a straight line. At this point I am fairly certain that in the next 2-6 weeks you will read about funds closing because they got caught so hard on this. Train is not stopping so look for decent entries when market refuses to go down again and ride the big wave up.
dax futures
comment: I wrote that best for bulls would be to stay above 18000 on a pullback and a measured move could bring us to 18800. Market can’t trade below the 1h 20ema and bulls are just unreal currently. Only look for longs until bears can do a 1h bar close below the 1h ema. Next targets above are 18800 and then 19000. Insane strength.
current market cycle: huge trading range
key levels: 17000 - 19000
bull case: Bulls are just in a big hurry without any bears around. Must pump the market as fast as high as it can get. Please don’t look for macro reasons here, you are out of your mind if you try to come up with rational arguments. Just find an ema that is holding and long it.
Invalidation is below 18400.
bear case: Nothing. When bears manage to print a bar close below the 1h 20ema, I will look for bearish targets. As of now it’s 18400 they have to conquer but who on earth would short this right now. Unless we get a huge event and scared traders, this won’t stop until new ath is reached. Small chance we see a bigger pullback on the big bear trend line around 18750.
Invalidation is above 19000.
short term: max bullish - only look for longs until bears print a bar close below the 1h 20ema
medium-long term: 17000/17100 was my target for at least 3 months now and bears got it. We are in a correction since we dropped more than 10% from the ath. Many long term trader buy a 5%, 10%, … dip and a bounce here was expected. I do think we are in a bear trend which will most likely lead down to 15600 or 15000 over the next months but we can only be more certain, once this pullback is done and we make new lows below 17000 and have a channel from which we can calculate new targets. I called the highs in early July and there is a decent chance we will not see them for a long time. —unchanged since early July
current swing trade: Nopety nope nope. Only long scalps currently.
trade of the day: Long EU open and never look at it until US close. Doji at the 1h 20ema, so go long above it. There were two decent targets above, gap close to Friday and last weeks high. Both are magnets, no reason to exit anywhere. When in doubt, zoom out.

Bear channel continued down and next target is probably 72 if 73.5 won’t hold. Pure weakness in this market.
quote from my weekly update:
bear case: Bears need a daily close below 74.5 to trade back down to 71/72.
comment: Look at that beauty of a channel. Holding like a true champ. Market is much weaker than expected and only going down. Bottom of the channel is where a pullback is expected and if bears are strong, they keep it below 74.5. Next targets for the bears are 73 and then 72. Anything above 75.5 would be a big surprise.
current market cycle: trading range (triangle)
key levels: 72 - 75.5
bull case: Bulls are so weak that they currently can only correct sideways. They need to create a pullback at 73.4 or risk a breakout below the bear channel, where the selling would accelerate. A reasonable target for a pullback would be the breakout retest of last weeks low 74.52.
Invalidation is below 73.1.
bear case: Bears had a strong bear day again and a measured move would bring us to 71.5. If they manage to create a breakout below the bear channel, we could get there much faster than most expect. My drawn big bullish trend line from the triangle runs through 71.7, so close enough. Bears need to keep any pullback below 75, better would be below 74.5.
Invalidation is above 75.5.
short term: Pullback to at least 74.5 is expected but below 73.1 we print 72 or even 71 pretty fast.
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. Update: If we break below 70.67, the triangle is dead and we need to find new support. Will update this again when it happens.
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Mostly sideways during Globex and EU session. US session opened weak and when bulls could not get above 75.5 again, bears tried again and bulls just gave up. Had to be short since the bear bar breaking below 75 and the 1h 20ema.
WTI has a lot of technical pressureTVC:USOIL weakened in early trading in Asian markets on Monday (August 19), fluctuating near its lowest level in more than a week. Currently WTI crude oil is trading around 75 USD/barrel.
That added to traders' concerns about falling demand in the Asian giant, where refiners cut crude processing capacity last month amid sluggish fuel demand.
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) last week lowered its forecast for oil demand growth this year due to weakness in the Asian giant's economy. The Paris-based International Energy Agency (IEA) last Tuesday lowered its oil demand growth forecast for 2025, citing weak demand from major countries in Asia.
On the other hand, according to the Lebanese National News Agency, the Israel Defense Forces carried out airstrikes on the 18th.
Lebanon's Hezbollah armed forces claimed to have attacked multiple targets in southern Lebanon, including Israeli military spy facilities.
On the 18th, the Israeli army launched multiple attacks on several towns on the Lebanese side of the temporary border between Lebanon and Israel.
Market sentiment this week will be determined by speeches from global central bankers at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium.
The Jackson Hole Economic Symposium will be held from August 22 to 24 and Fed Chairman Powell will speak on the economic outlook on Friday as US inflation weakens but remains difficult and markets Weakened job market. Easing is imminent, but is unlikely to confirm continued expectations of significant interest rate cuts.
On the daily chart, WTI USOIL moved narrowly after falling below the price channel and structurally it has not yet formed a specific trend.
But technical factors are leaning more towards the possibility of price decline with the nearest resistance being noticed at the confluence area of the 0.382% Fibonacci retracement and EMA21.
As long as WTI crude oil cannot break and move above the 0.50% Fibonacci level, it does not have enough conditions for bullish expectations.
Meanwhile, once WTI crude oil continues to be sold below the 0.236% Fibonacci level and returns to the price channel, it will open a new technical down cycle. The notable point is that the Relative Strength Index is pointing down from the 50 level but has not yet reached the oversold level, showing that there is still room for technical price declines ahead.
During the day, the technical outlook for WTI crude oil leans towards a downside with notable levels listed as follows.
Support: 75.71USD
Resistance: 76.59 – 77.58USD
All-time high, GOLD prospects continue to increaseThe market fluctuated wildly in the past week, OANDA:XAUUSD skyrocketed from the week's low of 2,423USD to the weekend closing price of 2,508USD/oz and set a new all-time high. However, Iran could retaliate and attack Israel next week. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's speech at the annual meeting in Jackson Hole is a market highlight that could once again cause volatility.
Next week, all eyes will be on the Federal Reserve symposium in Jackson Hole. The focus will be on Friday, when Powell gives a keynote speech on the economic outlook. First, they want confirmation that the Fed will cut interest rates in September. But as the Fed faces risks to both inflation and employment through recent macro data, the next move and the pace The next rate cut will become more complicated and of course this will bring even more intense fluctuations in the market in general and gold trading in particular.
The US economic calendar will not release any important data in the first half of next week.
Next Wednesday, the Federal Reserve will release the minutes of its July 30-31 meeting. At the post-meeting press conference, Fed Chairman Powell admitted there was “real discussion” about tapering interest rate at the July meeting.
Investors will pay attention to comments surrounding interest rate cut discussions. If the minutes show some policymakers favor a sudden rate cut in July, the USD could face fresh selling pressure and gold continues to be supported and pushed to renew levels. all time.
At the Jackson Hole meeting, even if Powell confirms a rate cut in September, it is unlikely to trigger a market reaction because such a decision is already fully priced in. In what could be a shock to markets, Powell will likely dismiss market expectations that the Fed could cut policy rates by 50 basis points at a future meeting, noting that they could will loosen policy at a steady pace. In this scenario, US Treasury bond yields could rise higher, putting gold prices under pressure to adjust in the short term.
Powell will likely use his speech in Jackson Hole to announce that the 'appropriate' time to cut interest rates is approaching.
With the support of the approaching interest rate cut environment and the increasingly complicated geopolitical developments and successive escalating moves, basically, the gold price is being absolutely supported by investors. increasing trend.
This has been mostly noticed by readers throughout the publications since the beginning of this year, all macro fundamentals will support gold to continue to increase in price, as it is a safe haven asset. leading in all cases of risk or monetary policy that does not support the USD.
Analysis of technical prospects for OANDA:XAUUSD
With outstanding strength from all fundamental factors, gold's technical chart also has all the important conditions necessary for an upward price trend.
The main trend is highlighted by the price channel and support from EMA21, which was brought to your attention in recent publications. On the other hand, gold has rallied to break the plateau and stay above the $2,500 level after achieving last week's upside price target in the $2,500 - $2,505 area.
The fact that gold closed above the 0.786% Fibonacci extension allows gold to continue to increase in price towards $2,544 in the short term when the Relative Strength Index points up but has not yet reached the overbought level. shows that there is still wide room for price increases ahead.
However, in the current market context, traders must be ready for huge fluctuations, when gold can also face strong correction sessions with the nearest support being the The previous all-time peak was broken at 2,484 USD.
In the coming time, gold will continue to have the main trend of increasing prices with notable technical levels that will be listed as follows.

#202434 - priceactiontds - weekly update - goldGood Evening and I hope you are well.
Quote from last week:
comment: Easy analysis. We are 4 points above last weeks close. We are in a triangle and exactly at the midpoint, again. Market is as neutral as it gets. Don’t make this more complicated than it needs to be. Either buy low and sell high inside given range or wait for a breakout.
comment: Bulls got a new ath but the highest monthly close so far was 2473 and there is no reason to expect a huge breakout above 2550 with follow through. If it happens, hopp along but odds favor the bears for another reversal like so many times in the last 4 months. No matter how you interpret the patterns on the chart, all favor a reversal and betting on a breakout after 4 months of trading range price action is a losing strategy in the long run. I am neutral and wait for bears to show strength but will join the bulls on a strong breakout above 2550.
current market cycle: trading range for many months now and it’s probably coming to an end over the next weeks/months —unchanged
key levels: 2400 - 2550
bull case: Bulls printed a new ath. They finally want their breakout above and much higher prices. All patterns are against them and the odds obviously also. I would not look for longs above 2500. If they could break above 2550 and any pullback would stay above 2530, their chances of another leg up would be decent.
Invalidation is below 2550.
bear case: Bears see the trading range since April and the nested bull wedge on lower time frames and want a reversal down to at least 2430 again. They absolutely need to close this month below 2500 or the breakout above could actually happen and market would have to find new resistance, which could be much much higher than 2550. As of now market is almost making only perfect two legged moves inside the trading range and bulls just had their second. Market favors a reversal if bears come around on Monday.
Invalidation is above 2550.
outlook last week:
short term: Neutral around 2475. Will only scalp this on momentum inside the triangle but swing will have to wait for a bigger breakout above or below. Want to see 2500 to look for shorts again.
→ Last Sunday we traded 2473 and now we are at 2537. Neutral outlook.
short term: Neutral until bears come around or strong break above 2550. If bears build good selling pressure, I want a retest of 2500 first and lower i look for 2470.
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 since May
current swing trade: None.
chart update: Removed the bear trend line.
#202434 - priceactiontds - weekly update - sp500Good Evening and I hope you are well.
Quote from last week:
comment: Market got to 5100 way faster than I expected but it was climactic selling and a pullback was expected. Not much difference in reasoning compared to dax and the same would apply to the nasdaq. Market is trying to find the big sellers again and we are probing higher. We will most likely hit the daily 20ema soon, which is around 5440 and that is also around the July low and therefore a breakout retest. After the 2 bull bars from Thursday & Friday, I do think the odds of disappointment for the bulls is greater than another bull bar on Monday.
comment: Not much difference to dax, just that this market was a tat stronger even. Bulls almost reversed completely but 7 consecutive bull bars is as climactic as it gets. A pullback is due but that does not mean you can short it at 5578. Could go further since the obvious pain trade is up.
current market cycle: Trading range.
key levels: 5000-5700
bull case: From panic to euphoria. Good times. Bulls want a close of the bear gap to 5650 now and if they manage that, no reason we can’t print a new ath. More likely though is that we stay below 5600 and go much more sideways and wait for a new impulse.
Invalidation is below 5400.
bear case: Bears are gone it seems. Best they can hope for now is to stay below 5600 and make the market go sideways. If big sellers appear again, first target would be 5500 and then a close below daily ema but that is very low probability as of now. No bigger update this week since parallels to dax are big and I do think it’s best to be neutral here and wait for a pullback and see where that goes.
Invalidation is above 5650.
outlook last week:
short term: Full bear mode if we stay below the daily ema. Retest of the lows is higher probability than breaking above the daily ema. I gave clear key levels, mark them and watch what the market does when it gets there.
→ Last Sunday we traded 5370 and now we are at 5578. My upper targets were 5450 and bulls just melted it. Part of outlook was ok because you don’t get bearish at climactic selling lows but this reversal is not anything that is likely to happen after such selling.
short term: Neutral af. Want to see a pullback and also how market reacts to 5600.
medium-long term: Same as dax. I wait and let market give more info. Right now it’s max confusion.
current swing trade: None.
chart update: Removed all but the small bear gap.
