ETH—Time Has become CrucialETH has had 2 weekly closes below 3000 This is not too surprising nor should it be an end all be all indicator, that determines whether the bull run in BTC, Alts, or both, is coming to a halt or resuming With that being said, time appears to be getting important, as 3 weekly closes should certainly be concerning. Here we can see an intact trendline from multi-year lows all the way to more recent lows, until it just recently retested. Additionally, most volatile, and aggressive moves from from a flase breakdown, which washes out week hands one last time. -After hitting strong support at 2150, and dropping nearly 30% in hours, ETH QUICKLY recovered the entirety of its loses within a day. -2150 has several levels of strong support and a further array of support/former resistance levels with 25-50$ -Time is important here—I expect for ETH to make a beeline to 3000 early next week and definitively close above 3000 on the weekly chart, signaling the resumption of the altcoin bull market in earnest. -If this does not happen, I would say there is a cause for concern, and something is very wrong. It is also important to note the Bollinger Band crash on the weekly chart when 2150 was tested. The last time this exact scenario occurred, ETH rallied back well above 3000 in a short period of time. Comments appreciated thanks

How to Get Funded and Become a Forex Prop Trader in 2025?How to Get Funded and Become a Forex Prop Trader in 2025: A Step-by-Step Action Plan With prop trading firms offering funding to skilled traders, 2025 presents an excellent opportunity to trade with significant capital while limiting your personal risk. Here’s a detailed roadmap to getting funded and becoming a successful prop trader in the forex market. ________________________________________ 📌 Step 1: Build a Profitable Trading Strategy Before applying to a prop firm, you need a tested and profitable strategy that aligns with prop firm risk rules. Here’s what to focus on: ✅ Choose a Trading Style • Scalping – Quick, small trades (requires low spreads and fast execution). • Day Trading – Intraday trades with clear setups (most prop firms allow). • Swing Trading – Holding trades for days/weeks (lower stress, fits many prop firm rules). • Algorithmic Trading – Using bots or EAs (some firms allow automation). ✅ Develop a High-Probability Edge • Top-Down Technical Analysis (Identify trends using multiple timeframes). • Price Action & Market Structure (Support/resistance, breakouts, trendlines). • Risk-Reward Ratios (Aim for at least 1:2 RR on trades). • News & Fundamentals (FOMC, NFP, CPI, interest rate decisions). ✅ Backtest & Optimize Your Strategy • Use Forex Tester 5 or TradingView’s replay mode to test past market conditions. • Run at least 100-200 trades in a demo account. • Maintain a win rate above 50% with an R:R of 1:2 or higher. ________________________________________ 📌 Step 2: Master Risk & Money Management Most prop firms fail traders due to poor risk management. Here’s how to avoid that: ✅ Follow Strict Drawdown Rules • Daily Drawdown: Most firms allow 5% max daily loss. • Overall Drawdown: 8-10% max loss before account termination. • Solution: Risk only 0.5% - 1% per trade. ✅ Position Sizing • Lot Size Calculator: Always use a calculator to match risk per trade. • Adjust for Volatility: Trade smaller lots on high-impact news days. ✅ Risk-Adjusted Growth • Withdraw profits monthly to secure earnings. • Scale up gradually instead of over-leveraging. ________________________________________ 📌 Step 3: Get Funded by a Prop Firm 🚀 Top Prop Firms in 2025 for Forex Traders • FTMO – Up to $400,000 funding, 90% profit share. • My Forex Funds (MFF) – Up to $600,000 funding, 85% profit split. • The Funded Trader – 80-90% profit split, offers aggressive scaling. • Fidelcrest – Allows scalping, news trading, and EAs. • E8 Funding – Low drawdown rules, 80% split. 📈 How to Pass a Prop Firm Challenge Most firms require a two-phase evaluation: 1. Phase 1: Profit target (8-10%) within 30 days without exceeding the daily/overall drawdown. 2. Phase 2: Lower profit target (4-5%) within 60 days with the same risk rules. 3. Funded Stage: Trade firm capital with a profit split (usually 75-90% to the trader). 🛠️ Pro Tips to Pass a Prop Firm Challenge ✅ Risk only 0.5% per trade (low risk = higher success rate). ✅ Trade high-probability setups only (2-3 trades per day max). ✅ Avoid trading the first & last 15 minutes of sessions (high spreads). ✅ Use a prop firm challenge simulator before applying. ________________________________________ 📌 Step 4: Optimize & Scale Your Trading Career 🔹 Get Multiple Funded Accounts • Many firms allow traders to manage multiple accounts. • Use copy trading software (e.g., Trade Copier, FXBlue) to replicate trades across accounts. • Some firms have a combined max funding of over $2 million. 🔹 Transition to a Full-Time Forex Trader 1. Withdraw Profits Monthly – Secure earnings and reinvest. 2. Diversify Income Streams – Consider trading signals, coaching, or selling EAs. 3. Trade with Institutional Mindset – Focus on consistency over big wins. ________________________________________ 📌 Step 5: Use Trading Tools & AI Bots for an Edge 🔹 Best Forex Trading Tools in 2025 📊 TradingView & MT5 – Best for charting & analysis. 📉 AutoRisk Calculator – Automates lot sizing based on risk %. 🤖 AI & Algo Bots – AI-powered news sentiment analysis & high-frequency trading. 📅 Forex Factory & Myfxbook – Economic calendar & trade tracking. ________________________________________ 📌 Step 6: Stay Ahead in the Forex Market 🚀 Follow Pro Traders – Learn from institutions & hedge funds. 📊 Analyze Market Cycles – 2025 will be affected by interest rates & global policies. 📉 Avoid Overtrading – Focus on quality over quantity. 📈 Invest in Continuous Learning – Join trading communities & courses. ________________________________________ 🎯 Final Thoughts: The Fastest Way to Become a Forex Prop Trader in 2025 ✅ Develop a tested, profitable strategy. ✅ Master risk & money management. ✅ Apply to top prop firms & pass the evaluation. ✅ Scale with multiple funded accounts. ✅ Stay disciplined, patient, and focused on long-term success.

GOLD (XAUUSD): Your Trading Plan For Next Week Explained Here is my price action analysis for Gold on a 4H. The market is currently trading in a sideways after an extended up movement that was completed 5th of February. We see a horizontal parallel channel formation. To confirm the next bullish wave, I suggest waiting for a breakout of its resistance. 4H candle close above 2887 will confirm the violation. A bullish continuation will be expected at least to 2900 then. Alternatively, a bearish breakout of the support of the channel may trigger a correctional movement. ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️

Weekly Forex Forecast: GOLD & SILVER Are Bullish! BUY Them!This forecast is for the week of Feb 10-14th. Gold and Silver are both bullish, with Gold being the stronger of the two. I am not interested in selling either until I see a bearish BOS, as the swing structure is bullish, and the trend is up. Wait until the fractal structure is aligned with the overall market structure, which would make for higher probability buys to follow the trend. Check the comments section below for updates regarding this analysis throughout the week. Enjoy! May profits be upon you. Leave any questions or comments in the comment section.

XAUUSD WEEKLY WRAP UP This week, Gold (XAU/USD) continued its upward trajectory, achieving a sixth consecutive weekly gain. The metal reached a new record high above $2,880, reflecting sustained bullish momentum. Key Influencing Factors: Federal Reserve Commentary: Remarks from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell contributed to market optimism, supporting the rally in gold prices. Technical Levels: Gold approached the significant psychological level of $3,000 per ounce, with analysts suggesting that surpassing this threshold could be a potential game-changer for the metal. Outlook: The market's focus is now on upcoming U.S. economic data, particularly the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which could serve as a catalyst for further price movements. A higher-than-expected CPI reading may bolster expectations of a more hawkish Federal Reserve, potentially exerting downward pressure on gold. Conversely, a softer CPI could support continued gains in gold prices. Traders are advised to monitor these developments closely, as they will play a crucial role in shaping gold's trajectory in the near term.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 2-7-25: Where's The Deep-VShortly after I created the morning video, the markets opened with a BANG. First rallying, then rolling over - just as I predicted. Granted, I never expected the markets to rally above 606 before rolling downward, but the breakdown move into a potential Deep-V looks to be playing out very nicely right now. Come Monday (2-10), and possibly carrying into the 13th, we could see a very sharp deep-V type price move that pushes the SPY below 580 for a period of time. That could be a very big move from the 606+ levels we saw this morning. And you know I'll be saying, "Just as I predicted," for at least 3 to 5 days starting early next week if that happens. Again, I put my research out to the public like this to either live or die by my work. Very few people are able to do this - or they flip/flop all the time (every 2-3 hours). My research is different. I'm really trying to make a difference by telling traders what to expect now and in the future. I know I'm starting to make a difference for many people because I'm getting emails and messages from individuals who use my research to identify great trade opportunities. Are you going to be the next person to share your success story with me? Remember, have a safe weekend and GET SOME come Monday morning. #trading #research #investing #tradingalgos #tradingsignals #cycles #fibonacci #elliotwave #modelingsystems #stocks #bitcoin #btcusd #cryptos #spy #es #nq #gold

Gold Pauses Rally as Dollar and Yields Strengthen Gold pulled back from recent highs as the US dollar and bond yields rebounded on renewed inflation concerns. The University of Michigan’s Inflation Expectations survey surged to 4.3% from 3.3%, raising fears of persistent price pressures. Strong wage growth in January (0.5% month-over-month) further fuelled expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain its higher-for-longer stance on interest rates. Speculation about inflationary policies under a potential Trump administration has also added to the hawkish outlook. As a result, markets have repriced rate-cut expectations, lifting the dollar and weighing on gold. Key upcoming events in the week ahead include US CPI data, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony, and corporate earnings, all of which could drive volatility. Technically, gold remains in a strong uptrend, repeatedly hitting all-time highs. However, signs of exhaustion are emerging. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is overbought on multiple timeframes: the daily RSI hovers around 75, the weekly RSI is above 70 with negative divergence, and the monthly RSI has surpassed 78. Such levels suggest a pullback or consolidation is likely, though not guaranteed. Gold has reached the 127.2% Fibonacci extension of its October-November correction at $2859. If prices extend higher, the next target is the 161.8% extension at $2946. On the downside, initial support lies at $2845, followed by $2790 (October high) and the $2710-$2725 zone. Overall, gold’s bullish momentum remains intact, but traders should be cautious of near-term corrections, especially given extreme RSI readings and shifting macroeconomic factors.
