Manipulation

Gold ShortAfter retesting 1709.73 and possibly going farther to 1718.11, which is a well respected pivot point of resistance, it might go down following its trend. we are seeing a lower high lower low pattern as well in the 1 hour timeframe. after reaching the said pivot points of resistance, we could very well expect the price to go back to 1699.89 which is a possible first level of support then probably will go back to the previous week low of 1681.55. possible manipulative moves are to be expected during the early moments of the new york session so be careful as well. also the us economy is going up due to the fact that the stocks in the us are rallying high and recovering from the previous months loses. so potential short entry is to be expected after several minutes of the new york open.

I find it funny how big moves get always called manipulation 🤑Yesterday, there was a big dump 📉. Who would have expected that? Well --- you could say that after the battle, everyone is a general. But in this case, there were some decent clues which were, perhaps, ignored? I looked at the situation retrospectively. After the rally, a small retracement hasn't managed to establish strong bottom support yet to bounce even further. Below was a long area of low volume - who would put buy orders there? Stop-loss squeeze enabled ✅✅✅. So it burst through some levels which were weak anyway and was put to an end near another. I am strongly against excusing loses with "manipulation", evil 😈 Wall Street or whatever. It is always better to take responsibility for any loses you might have and ask yourself what you could have done better . Blaming events outside of your control won't make you a better trader. A retrospective analysis, on the other hand, does possess such a chance. Good luck!

SPY - crazy LONG move! Be careful BIG PLAYERS want your money!Hi traders, I would like to share my opinion on the SPY market. I really don't understand where so much confidence comes from. I think INSIDERS and BIG PLAYERS are going to open SHORT trades. And because they need a counterparty they must persuade lots of traders to feel the SPY will rise up to heaven. And how to achieve it? Just show a few green candles on the chart - This will make beginners feel like they have missed an opportunity. So be careful! I think Short is about to come. Good trading. Jakub FINEIGHT

What Put:Call Ratio Tells Us About SPY QQQHere is a chart of the put to call ratio when compared with NASDAQ's ETF, QQQ. When the line is at the bottom of the PC chart, that means market participants are net short. When at the top, they are net long. I'm sure we've all heard the saying that market makers usually take the other side of the trade. This chart shows that this is a true. When stocks are going up, the majority of retail traders are shorting the market. When the market goes down, the majority of retail traders are longing the market. Right now we're in an extreme situation where the majority of retail traders are shorting the market and institutions are doing what they do best, hitting their stop losses and squeezing them out, essentially taking the free money on the table. When this is no longer profitable, the trend usually changes with a few exceptions (see March 2020). To look at it another way, institutions make money on retail trader's emotions which is specifically disbelief. They say 90% of retail traders lose money trading the stock market. I believe this chart is evidence of that.
