Patterns

Bearish Setup on EUR/USD After Rejection at Key ResistanceTrading Idea on 1-Hour Chart (H1): The EUR/USD pair is showing signs of a potential bearish continuation after testing a key resistance zone around 1.0540 - 1.0544, which aligns with a previously broken downward trendline. The market structure on the H1 timeframe indicates lower highs, suggesting sellers are regaining control. Technical Confirmation: Key Resistance Zone: The 1.0540 - 1.0544 area acts as a significant rejection point where bullish momentum appears to be weakening. Break-Retest Pattern: The price broke below a descending trendline and is now retesting the zone, showing clear signs of rejection. RSI Indicator: The RSI is currently near 60, reflecting recent bullish movement but remaining below overbought levels, which signals potential exhaustion in the upward move. Technical Confirmation: Key Resistance Zone: The 1.0540 - 1.0544 area acts as a significant rejection point where bullish momentum appears to be weakening. Break-Retest Pattern: The price broke below a descending trendline and is now retesting the zone, showing clear signs of rejection. RSI Indicator: The RSI is currently near 60, reflecting recent bullish movement but remaining below overbought levels, which signals potential exhaustion in the upward move. Summary: This idea is based on a bearish continuation pattern following rejection at a key resistance zone, supported by trendline retest and weakening bullish momentum. Confirmation on lower timeframes (e.g., M15) is recommended before entry.

Gold’s December Dilemma: Seasonal Rally or Further Decline?OANDA:XAUUSD Multi-Timeframe Analysis Current Price: 2650.350 Executive Summary: Gold experienced a significant drop on Monday, November 25, after reaching $2,721, driven by easing geopolitical tensions and strong resistance. The price then fell to $2,605 and has since been consolidating within a bearish flag pattern. Currently, gold is trading at $2,650, showing mixed sentiment with short-term bearish potential and long-term bullish prospects. Technical Analysis: Bearish Flag (Short-Term Bearish) The bearish flag pattern suggests potential downside, signalling a continuation of the recent correction. While it’s possible that the price could rise to the strong pivot resistance at $2,695, which aligns with the upper boundary of the falling wedge, rejection from this level could result in a breakdown from the flag pattern. Alternatively, the price may fail to reach $2,695 and break below the flag. Key Levels to Watch: First Target: $2,617 (strong pivot and support). Next Target: $2,578 (ultimate support). Gap Fill: If $2,578 breaks, the price could decline to $2,565 (filling the gap from November 18). Psychological Level: A further drop could test $2,500, which coincides with the lower boundary of the falling wedge and serves as strong structural support. Falling Wedge: (Long-Term Bullish) In the long term, the falling wedge pattern suggests a bullish reversal. We expect the price to rebound from support levels near $2,565 or $2,500, resuming its bullish cycle. Gold could potentially rally to new all-time highs (ATH) during December, driven by seasonal demand and technical breakout momentum. Seasonality: Gold historically rallies in December, driven by holiday demand, portfolio rebalancing, and year-end events. Significant price increases were observed in December 2022 and 2023, and similar trends could support bullish momentum this year, barring any unexpected bearish developments. Final Note: Gold’s short-term sentiment leans bearish, with the bearish flag pointing to potential downside. However, the falling wedge suggests a strong long-term bullish outlook. Watch for key levels like $2,695, $2,617, and $2,500 for potential opportunities. Remember to practice tight risk management. Happy trading!

Amazon - Breaking Trade 12/4/2024There was a great breakout trade opportunity on Amazon's stock, enhanced by a refined entry strategy. The red zone highlights a key resistance level where the price struggled to break through. Eventually, a breakout occurred with a strong bullish candlestick, confirming buyers' strength. However, instead of entering immediately at the breakout, the ideal entry point would be on the pullback to the red zone. After the breakout, the price retraced back to the resistance zone, which then acted as support. Notice how the price tested this zone but failed to close below it, indicating that buyers remained in control. The optimal entry would occur when the price breaks above the high of the retracement candle, confirming the continuation of the bullish move. This approach allows for a more precise entry, reduces risk by setting a stop-loss below the support zone, and offers a better reward-to-risk ratio as the trend resumes upward. It’s a textbook example of a breakout-retest setup with confirmation. Thank you for reading! If you found this content helpful, don’t forget to like, comment, and share the idea.

DECEMBER MelaGold, I see the movement as bullish and expecting a reaction above the 2688 level. I can see the liquidity above that top and a gap that gold might fill before any downturn or even continuation to the upside, which is possible because of the seasonality. Technically am good to look for bullish bias with any setup I get here above level 2605. the market can break 2605 and continue to the upside as well in another scenario which am seeing it as a lower probability for now. let's see how the market gonna play this scenario for now As always, market wins! trade with care. be a part of the market OANDA:XAUUSD FXOPEN:XAUUSD TVC:DXY TVC:US10Y

S&P 500 Technical Analysis Ascending Triangle vs Rising Wedge I've identified two potential patterns on the S&P 500 SP:SPX chart: Ascending Triangle (blue trendlines): Higher lows and flat highs, with breakout potential above the flat top or a breakdown below the higher lows. Indicated by blue arrows. Rising Wedge Developing (red trend lines and arrows): Higher highs and higher lows, with a potential bearish breakout below the lower trend line or a less common bullish breakout above the upper trend line. Red arrows highlight the touch points on the rising wedge pattern. Pattern Rules: For a valid pattern, the following rules apply: Ascending Triangle: At least two higher lows Flat highs Decreasing volume Breakout above the flat top or breakdown below the higher lows Rising Wedge: At least three touch points on each trend line (I will use as few as 2) Higher highs and higher lows Decreasing volume Breakout below the lower trend line or above the upper trend line (less common) Quick Review for Beginners: New to chart patterns? Here's a quick rundown: Higher lows: A series of lows that are higher than the previous ones. Flat highs: A series of highs that are roughly the same level. Decreasing volume: The trading volume decreases as the pattern forms. Breakout: When the price moves above or below the pattern's boundary. Trend lines: Lines drawn to connect the highs or lows of a pattern. Keep in mind that chart patterns are not a guarantee of future price movements, but rather a tool to help identify potential trends and trading opportunities.

Understanding The Basics Of AI/Inference Engine ConstructionRecently, there has been a lot of discussion related to my SPY Cycle Patterns and how they work. In short, without disclosing proprietary code/quants, I built an inference engine based on Fibonacci, GANN, and Tesla theories. Part of this inference engine is to identify the highest probable outcome related to the patterns. This is not rocket-science. This is the same process your brain does when determining when and what to trade. The only difference is I'm doing a bunch of proprietary calculations/quants related to data and price theory in the background, then the inference engine determines the best, most likely outcome. Take a few minutes to watch this video and try to understand the difference between static and dynamic modeling. Again, my objective is to help as many traders as possible. My Plan Your Trade videos are my opinions based on my skills, knowledge, and proprietary modeling systems/tools. None of my tools are 100% accurate all the time - nothing is. But, I do believe the quality of information and instructional information I provide is invaluable to most traders.

The Perfect Setup Unfolding: Don’t Miss This High-Prob TradeIWhat’s Changed and What to Look for Now? 1. Structure and Pattern Focus: Wedge and Correction Identified The yellow descending lines still highlight a wedge-shaped correction after the price made an upward impulsive move. Wedges often act as continuation patterns, meaning the trend (in this case, bullish) is likely to resume once the wedge is broken. Price has already broken out of the wedge and pulled back, hinting that the market might continue upward after this slight retracement. 🔍 What to Do: If you spot a wedge breakout like this, wait for a retest—which seems to be forming now—before entering the trade. This increases the chance of entering at a safer spot rather than chasing the move. 2. Identifying the "Potential Buy Zone" You have a Potential Buy Zone marked around the 2,636–2,647 range, which aligns with both: Key Fibonacci levels: 61.8% and 78.6% retracement levels. Demand area: The price previously bounced from this region, showing there’s buying interest. 📝 What to Do: Watch for price action signals within the buy zone, such as: Pin bars (candles with long lower wicks). Engulfing candles (strong green candles that close above the previous red ones). Mini flags or pullbacks to signal buyers stepping in. 3. Set Entry and Stop-Loss Levels Smartly If you enter within the buy zone, place your stop-loss below the 78.6% Fibonacci level (around 2,620). This ensures you’re protected if the trade goes against you. Target One: 2,675.051 Target Two: Around 2,700 These targets are based on previous highs and Fibonacci extensions (-27.2% and -51.8%). 🔍 Pro Tip: Always plan 2:1 or 3:1 risk-reward ratios. In this case, the stop-loss is relatively tight compared to the potential reward, making this a high-reward trade setup if price respects the buy zone. 4. Using "The Rule of Three" to Confirm the Setup Based on the Rule of Three, you should always have three confirmations before entering a trade​​. In this scenario, here’s how it applies: First confirmation: Price has entered the Fibonacci zone and buy zone (2,636–2,647). Second confirmation: A bullish reaction or candlestick signal forms (like a pin bar). Third confirmation: If price breaks above a mini-flag or consolidates slightly above this zone, it’s a strong sign to enter the trade. 5. What to Watch for as a Beginner If price touches the buy zone and starts to show signs of rejection (like a wick or small bullish candles), that’s your signal to consider entering. Be patient: If the price doesn’t give a clear signal, stay on the sidelines. Waiting for a proper entry reduces losses from impulsive trades. How to Back-Test This Setup: Look at past trades where the price pulled back into a similar buy zone with Fibonacci overlap. Record how often these setups worked and whether waiting for the confirmation signals improved your success rate. Summary for New Traders This chart is a great example of a continuation setup: Trend identification: The trend is still up, with a correction (wedge). Entry zone: The buy zone is based on Fibonacci and prior support. Wait for confirmation: Use candlestick patterns or break/retest setups. Targets and stop-loss: Define a stop below the buy zone, and target the next highs (2,675 and 2,700). This is an excellent opportunity to practice patience and discipline—wait for the right signals, and trade according to the plan. Use small positions if you're new, or try this setup in a demo account to build confidence!
