Nifty Analysis EOD – June 20, 2025 – Friday🟢 Nifty Analysis EOD – June 20, 2025 – Friday 🔴 🚀 Bull Run Out of the Blue 🚀 – A Masterclass in Price Action Nifty kicked off the session with a +56-point gap-up — surprising many, especially since Gift Nifty hinted flat to negative and yesterday’s close was weak. The real jolt came when, in the very first minute, price broke above the Previous Day High (PDH) and opened directly above the CPR zone — a rare occurrence when geopolitical tensions are peaking. As I often say: 📌 “Market rarely follows the obvious. It thrives in the unexpected.” Today was a textbook example of that. Luckily, we were prepped. In yesterday’s note, I mentioned the bullish trigger above 24,862 — and right from the open, Nifty respected every level, offering "hope-on" and "hope-off" trades. What seemed like a 25K test turned into a blast to 25,136, with 100 points added in the last 30 minutes, leaving even seasoned traders awestruck. The intraday close at 25,079.75 and the adjusted close at 25,112.40 — both above the 15th May closing levels — give a bullish vibe heading into the weekend. 🤞 💬 Personal Note: Today was special — I sat with my elder daughter, helping her understand real-time market behavior. And what a day it was! From trend reversals, cup & handle, head & shoulders, wedges, shallow pullbacks, to aggressive one-way rallies — everything aligned perfectly to make this a live-action lesson in intraday trading. 🕯 5 Min Time Frame Chart with Levels 🕯 Daily Time Frame Chart 🕯 Daily Candle Breakdown Open: 24,787.65 High: 25,136.20 Low: 24,783.65 Close: 25,112.40 Change: +319.15 (+1.29%) 📊 Candle Structure Breakdown Real Body: 324.75 pts → ✅ Strong Green Candle Upper Wick: 23.80 pts Lower Wick: 4.00 pts 🔍 Interpretation Opened flat and never looked back. Minimal wicks = clear directional strength. Buyers in full control from open to close. 🕯 Candle Type 📈 Bullish Marubozu-like — One of the strongest bullish signals. A powerful sign of trend continuation or breakout momentum. 📌 Key Insight Today’s candle reinforces bullish strength. Holding above 25,100 is key going forward. A move above 25,136 could invite fresh upside targets — possibly 25,180+ and beyond. 🛡 5 Min Intraday Chart ⚔️ Gladiator Strategy Update ATR: 251.32 IB Range: 116.6 → Medium IB Market Structure: 📈 ImBalanced Trades Triggered: 🔹 9:41 AM – Long Trade → Target Achieved (Trailing Exit, R:R 1:4.79) 🔹 12:18 PM – Short Contra Trade → Target Achieved (R:R 1:2) 🔹 1:07 PM – Long Trade → Target Achieved (Trailing Exit, R:R 1:2.62) 📌 Support & Resistance Zones Resistance Levels 25,125 ~ 25,150 25,180 ~ 25,212 25,285 Support Levels 25,080 ~ 25,060 25,000 ~ 24,980 24,965 24,894 ~ 24,882 💭 Final Thoughts The market surprised today — not just in movement but in clarity.The clean break, follow-through strength, and intraday structure hint at momentum continuation — but weekends can bring surprise news. 📌 Watch 25,100 as line in the sand on Monday. 🧠 “Markets are teachers.

XAUUSD: 1H Chart Trend Continuation or Deeper Pullback?Established Uptrend Channel : The XAUUSD pair is trading within a well-defined, long-term ascending channel (highlighted by the red parallel bands), indicating a clear bullish trend with consistent higher highs and higher lows over the observed period. Significant Support Confluence : The lower boundary of the ascending channel, particularly the area marked "Confluence Area for support" (green and orange shaded zone), has repeatedly acted as a strong demand zone where price has found support and reversed higher. Current Corrective Phase and Deciding Point : Price is currently undergoing a short-term correction, forming a smaller, descending channel (white/grey box) within the larger uptrend. This area is labeled "Deciding Area to continue Higher," indicating that the immediate future direction is contingent on whether price breaks out of this smaller channel or continues within it. Projected Pathways : The chart illustrates two immediate potential scenarios: a resumption of the primary uptrend (green dotted path) upon a successful breakout from the short-term descending channel, or a deeper retracement towards the major ascending channel's support (red dotted path) if the current corrective structure persists or breaks lower.

Nifty Analysis EOD – June 19, 2025 – Thursday🟢 Nifty Analysis EOD – June 19, 2025 – Thursday 🔴 📉 Bookish Spinning Top Doji – Another Day of Indecision on Expiry Nifty opened with a mild +16-point gap-up and immediately dipped to test the Previous Day Low (PDL), marking the day low at 24,738.10. A quick reversal took the index 125 points higher, reaching a high of 24,863, only to settle back into theta-eating mode around VWAP. Just as things looked ready to turn, a 13:50 breakout attempt fizzled as the price faced rejection above the CPR zone, leading to a final dip below the previous low, touching a new intraday low at 24,733. Though the intraday close was at 24,744.70, the settlement close was 24,793.25 — a 47.65-point difference that’s not trivial, especially on expiry day. The entire day remained a narrow-range, rollercoaster ride — clearly showing neither bulls nor bears could take charge. The total range was just 130 points, forming a textbook Spinning Top, which reflects market contraction. 📌 Now what? Keep a close eye on the range: 🟢Bullish Breakout ➤ above 24,862 (CDH) 🔴Bearish Breakdown ➤ below 24,733 (CDL) The squeeze is on. Expansion is near. 🕯 5 Min Time Frame Chart with Levels 🕯 Daily Time Frame Chart 🕯 Daily Candle Breakdown Open: 24,803.25 High: 24,863.10 Low: 24,733.40 Close: 24,793.25 Change: −18.80 (−0.08%) 📊 Candle Structure Breakdown Real Body: 10.00 pts → 🔻 Small Red Candle Upper Wick: 59.85 pts Lower Wick: 59.85 pts 🔍 Interpretation Equal wicks show balanced buying and selling.

Nifty Analysis EOD – June 18, 2025 – Wednesday🟢 Nifty Analysis EOD – June 18, 2025 – Wednesday 🔴 ⚖️ Dhamakedar Start, But Indecisive Close – Weekly Expiry Caution Ahead Nifty opened with a 65-point gap-down at 24,788.35, but what followed was a power-packed bullish start — within just 25 minutes, it surged over 150 points, hitting a day high of 24,947.55. However, the euphoria didn’t last. As the session progressed, the index gradually gave up all its gains, slipped below the previous day’s low, and finally found support at 24,750, a critical level. By the end of the day, Nifty settled around the opening zone at 24,812.05, just +23 points above open, while net change remained −41.35 points from the previous close. The day showcased both strength and weakness — a typical "everyone-expected-fall-but-it-didn't-fall-enough" kind of day. The long upper wick reflects failed attempts by bulls, while the lack of breakdown keeps the bears in check. Tomorrow is weekly expiry — caution is advised. 🕯 5 Min Time Frame Chart with Levels 🕯 Daily Time Frame Chart 🕯 Daily Candle Breakdown Open: 24,788.35 High: 24,947.55 Low: 24,750.45 Close: 24,812.05 Change: −41.35 (−0.17%) 📊 Candle Structure Breakdown Real Body: 23.70 pts → ✅ Green Candle (tiny body) Upper Wick: 135.50 pts Lower Wick: 37.90 pts 🔍 Interpretation Strong bullish momentum early on, but buyers failed to hold above 24,900. Long upper wick signals supply or profit-booking at higher levels. Price closed near open despite wide range → indecision between bulls and bears. 🕯 Candle Type 🟨 Spinning Top – A textbook indecisive candle, often seen at turning points or during pauses in trend. 📌 Key Insight Buyers couldn’t reclaim or close above 24,950 — resistance strengthened. Support held at 24,750 — but barely. Watch 24,950 on upside and 24,750 on downside — a breakout from either may decide expiry-day trend. 🛡 5 Min Intraday Chart ⚔️ Gladiator Strategy Update ATR: 252.34 IB Range: 170.65 → Medium IB Market Structure: ⚖️ Balanced Trades:🚫 Short Trigger at 12:45 : Trapped - SL Hit 📌 Support & Resistance Zones Resistance Levels 24,894 ~ 24,882 24,972 ~ 25,000 25,060 ~ 25,080 25,102 ~ 25,125 Support Levels 24,825 ~ 24,847 24,725 ~ 24,735 24,660 24,590 💭 Final Thoughts When price travels 200 points but closes flat, it tells you something: Smart money is waiting.Weekly expiry ahead could bring unexpected moves.✅ Stay nimble.

Massive Oil Move Incoming? Only One Thing Can Stop ItOIL – Overview Oil Rallies to 5-Month High as Israel-Iran Tensions Escalate Oil prices surged to a five-month high early Wednesday amid escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. The ongoing airstrikes between the two nations, along with reports that the Trump administration is considering military involvement, have intensified concerns over a broader regional war. Since Israel launched a surprise strike on Iran last week targeting nuclear sites, oil has risen nearly 10%, fueled by fears of potential supply disruptions. President Trump has publicly called for Iran's "unconditional surrender," signaling heightened geopolitical risk. Despite the ongoing conflict, Iran's oil exports remain largely unaffected, and the country has not yet disrupted shipping through the Persian Gulf — a critical route supplying around 20% of global oil demand. However, markets remain on edge over the potential for further escalation that could directly impact supply. Technical Outlook: Oil maintains bullish momentum as long as it trades above 72.21, with upside targets at: ➡️ 77.21 ➡️ 79.50 — key breakout level ➡️ 85.40 — next resistance zone ➡️ Potential extension to 88.40 if momentum continues 🔻 A shift to bearish sentiment is only likely if negotiations begin between Iran and Israel, signaling potential de-escalation. Key Levels: • Pivot: 73.20 • Resistance: 77.21 / 79.50 / 85.40 • Support: 69.55 / 68.33 / 66.03 Caution: Any signs of de-escalation or negotiations between Iran and Israel could quickly reverse the trend.

XAU/USD 18 June 2025 Intraday AnalysisH4 Analysis: -> Swing: Bullish. -> Internal: Bullish. Analysis and bias remains the same as analysis dated 23 April 2025 Price has now printed a bearish CHoCH according to my analysis yesterday. Price is now trading within an established internal range. Intraday Expectation: Price to trade down to either discount of internal 50% EQ, or H4 demand zone before targeting weak internal high priced at 3,500.200. Note: The Federal Reserve’s sustained dovish stance, coupled with ongoing geopolitical uncertainties, is likely to prolong heightened volatility in the gold market. Given this elevated risk environment, traders should exercise caution and recalibrate risk management strategies to navigate potential price fluctuations effectively. Additionally, gold pricing remains sensitive to broader macroeconomic developments, including policy decisions under President Trump. Shifts in geopolitical strategy and economic directives could further amplify uncertainty, contributing to market repricing dynamics. H4 Chart: M15 Analysis: -> Swing: Bullish. -> Internal: Bullish. Following previous high, and printing of bearish CHoCH, price has pulled back to an M15 supply zone, where we are currently seeing a reaction. Therefore, I shall now confirm internal high. Price is now trading within an established internal range. The remainder of my analysis shall remain the same as analysis dated 13 June 2025, apart from target price. As per my analysis dated 22 May 2025 whereby I mentioned price can be seen to be reacting at discount of 50% EQ on H4 timeframe, therefore, it is a viable alternative that price could potentially print a bullish iBOS on M15 timeframe despite internal structure being bearish. Price has printed a bullish iBOS followed by a bearish CHoCH, which indicates, but does not confirm, bearish pullback phase initiation. I will however continue to monitor, with respect to depth of pullback. Intraday Expectation: Price to continue bearish, react at either M15 supply zone, or discount of 50% internal EQ before targeting weak internal high priced at 3,451.375. Note: Gold remains highly volatile amid the Federal Reserve's continued dovish stance, persistent and escalating geopolitical uncertainties. Traders should implement robust risk management strategies and remain vigilant, as price swings may become more pronounced in this elevated volatility environment. Additionally, President Trump’s recent tariff announcements are expected to further amplify market turbulence, potentially triggering sharp price fluctuations and whipsaws. M15 Chart:

FHE Analysis (4H)A major structure in FHE has turned bearish, and the price is currently pulling back to a fresh and untouched order block. Additionally, the price is trading below supply zones on higher timeframes. A drop toward the specified targets and the green zone is expected, as long as the red box is maintained. A daily candle closing above the invalidation level will invalidate this analysis. For risk management, please don't forget stop loss and capital management When we reach the first target, save some profit and then change the stop to entry Comment if you have any questions Thank You

BNB Pump???On the daily chart of BNB, a symmetrical triangle has formed, and the price is approaching a breakout point. The $600–$604 zone, aligned with the 200-day moving average and the descending trendline, acts as a key resistance. A bullish breakout could push the price toward the $696 area. On the downside, the $575 support is crucial — if broken, the next potential drop could target the $505 zone. Price compression and declining volatility suggest a strong move is likely soon. 📈 A major move is coming for BNB! 🔺 Resistance: $604 🔻 Support: $575 and then $505

Nifty Analysis EOD – June 17, 2025 – Tuesday🟢 Nifty Analysis EOD – June 17, 2025 – Tuesday 🔴 ⚠️ Resistance Rejection at 25K – Pause or Warning Sign? Yesterday’s note rightly anticipated today’s challenge near 25K — and that’s exactly how the session unfolded. Nifty opened at 24,977.85, right inside the critical resistance zone of 24,972–25,000, and formed a near O=H (Open = High) structure. The index quickly lost ground, dropping 135 points within the first hour to mark a day low of 24,813.70, forming a medium-sized Initial Balance (IB) within a wide CPR — conditions known for range-bound or tricky days. Throughout the session, Nifty hovered largely inside the CPR and IB, with a false breakdown attempt around 12:50 PM. Such setups (wide CPR + higher value + medium IB) often result in false moves or low-conviction sessions, and today was no exception. By day’s end, Nifty closed at 24,853.40, logging a modest −93.10 point dip, forming what can be termed as a healthy pullback — but the real test remains. If bulls want to take charge again, they must breach and close above 25,025. On the flip side, if 24,800–24,820 gives way, it could trigger a slide toward 24,725 and 24,660 in the coming sessions. 🕯 Daily Time Frame Chart 🕯 Daily Candle Breakdown Open: 24,977.85 High: 24,982.05 Low: 24,813.70 Close: 24,853.40 Change: −93.10 (−0.37%) 📊 Candle Structure Breakdown Real Body: 124.45 pts → 🔻 Red Candle Upper Wick: 4.20 pts Lower Wick: 39.70 pts 🔍 Interpretation Opened near the day’s high but selling dominated soon after. Small upper wick shows minimal buyer strength; recovery attempts were mild. Lower wick indicates some support emerged at day’s low, but overall tone remained bearish. 🕯 Candle Type 🟥 Bearish Candle – strong real body, minor lower wick — reflects steady intraday selling, though not overly aggressive. 📌 Key Insight Nifty has now rejected the 25K zone two days in a row, turning it into short-term resistance. If 24,800 breaks, expect pressure to mount — next watch: 24,725 → 24,660. Bulls need a close above 25,025 to regain command. 🛡 5 Min Intraday Chart ⚔️ Gladiator Strategy Update ATR: 258.48 IB Range: 131.60 → Medium IB Market Structure: ⚖️ Balanced Trades:🚫 No Trade Triggered by System 📌 Support & Resistance Zones Resistance Levels 24,894 ~ 24,882 24,972 ~ 25,000 25,060 ~ 25,080 25,102 ~ 25,125 Support Levels 24,825 ~ 24,847 24,725 ~ 24,735 24,660 24,590 💭 Final Thoughts Today’s session didn’t break anything major — but it also didn’t conquer anything new.Stuck between major support and resistance, the index is coiling for a move.

XAUUSD: Accumulation in process,Waiting for Bullish DistributionHello, Today, we will analyse the key points of each significant move. Following the price’s all-time high at $3500, it experienced a sharp decline and failed to maintain that level. A substantial 2400 pips would have resulted in significant losses for many accounts. Initially, it was perceived as a minor correction, with the expectation of further price appreciation. However, this assumption proved incorrect. After reaching an even higher peak, the price invariably undergoes a more substantial correction. At 3260, substantial bullish volume surged into the market, necessitated by the presence of a fair value gap. Subsequently, the price experienced a decline, reflecting the prevailing bearish trend, which favoured the bears. However, at 3200, a pivotal level representing a discounted price point, bull volume surged. This powerful bullish impulse propelled the price to 3432, ultimately confirming the bullish trend. AB=CD there recurring pattern emerged weekly. When the price reached the 3432 level as a fair value gap, the CD pattern commenced. 

AB=CDTheHeyIndeed, we have identified a recurring pattern. It appears to be an equal move in any direction, and it has manifested precisely as anticipated. We were aware that the price would reject at 3120, and it did so accordingly. Currently, the market is in our favour. Upon market opening, it exhibited a positive gap, propelling the price to 3450. However, it subsequently declined, reaching 3384. Presently, we find ourselves in the accumulation phase, poised for distribution. This distribution is anticipated to be substantial, potentially leading to another record high, potentially reaching 3650. Moving forward, the price could continue towards our target from its current position. Alternatively, there exists a possibility that it may drain the sell-side liquidity and reverse from 3360-3370. Our take-profit levels are set at 3450, 3490, 3520, and finally, 3600. When entering the market, it is advisable to employ a short time frame. It is important to note that this analysis is merely our opinion, and market conditions may deviate from expectations. We extend our best wishes for success and safe trading.

TON: The Cryptocurrency Powering Telegram’s FutureOKX:TONUSDT OKX:TONEUR In the fast-paced world of cryptocurrencies, TON (The Open Network) stands out as a project with a compelling backstory and bold ambitions. Born from the vision of Telegram’s founders, the Durov brothers, TON was initially designed to bring blockchain technology into one of the world’s most popular messaging apps. Despite early regulatory setbacks, it has since evolved into an independent blockchain platform under the stewardship of the TON Foundation. With its deep ties to Telegram’s vast user base and innovative technology, TON is poised to make a significant impact in the crypto space. First, what is TON? TON, or so called The Open Network, is a decentralized blockchain platform originally conceived by Nikolai and Pavel Durov, the minds behind Telegram. The project began with an audacious goal: to integrate a cryptocurrency-then called Gram-into Telegram, enabling seamless digital payments and decentralized services for its users. However, in 2019, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) intervened, questioning whether Gram was a security rather than a cryptocurrency. This regulatory clash forced Telegram to step back, and the project was handed over to the open-source community. Today, TON operates independently under the TON Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to its development. While it no longer has a formal tie to Telegram’s corporate structure, TON remains closely linked to the app’s ecosystem, powering various features and positioning itself as a key player in the cryptocurrency. Technology and Features TON’s blockchain is engineered to deliver exceptional speed, scalability, and versatility, distinguishing it from many other cryptocurrencies. At its foundation lies a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, where validators stake their tokens to secure the network and process transactions. This method stands in stark contrast to the energy-intensive Proof-of-Work systems of older blockchains like Bitcoin, offering a more sustainable and efficient alternative. To manage high transaction volumes, TON incorporates sharding, a technique that divides the blockchain into smaller, parallel chains, enabling simultaneous transaction processing and significantly boosting scalability. Beyond its core architecture, TON supports smart contracts, opening the door for developers to create decentralized applications (dApps) tailored to diverse needs, such as payments or gaming. The platform also extends its functionality with TON DNS, a decentralized domain name system, and TON Storage, a file storage solution, enhancing its scope as a comprehensive blockchain ecosystem. Together, these attributes position TON as a sturdy backbone for both everyday financial activities and intricate decentralized innovations, paving the way for a wide range of future projects. Use Cases and Applications TON’s real-world value springs from its deep integration with Telegram, a messaging giant boasting over 700 million active users. This massive user base serves as a powerful launchpad for TON’s adoption. Within Telegram, the cryptocurrency facilitates seamless peer-to-peer payments, allowing users to transfer tokens directly to one another with ease. It also powers the app’s “gifts” feature, where people can buy and send virtual gifts, all processed efficiently on the TON blockchain. According to data from the Dune analytics platform, the total market cap of these Telegram gifts exceeded $200 million, which points to the growing popularity and acceptance of TON technology among users. Taking this a step further, developers can build Telegram Mini Apps that operate within the platform, leveraging TON for transactions and other functions-a development that could evolve Telegram into a “super-app” akin to some kind of China’s WeChat, where users access an array of services without leaving the interface. Outside of Telegram, TON’s versatility shines through its support for smart contracts, making it an appealing option for decentralized finance (DeFi) initiatives like lending platforms and decentralized exchanges. Its low-cost, high-speed transactions also make it ideal for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and blockchain-based gaming, while its efficiency positions it as a promising tool for global payments, particularly in regions with limited financial infrastructure. As Telegram continues to improve its ecosystem, the role of TON is expected to grow, which could lead to widespread adoption of the cryptocurrency around the world. Market Position and Further Potential The cryptocurrency field is home to many notable players, and TON is one of them. As of mid-2025, its market capitalization stands at approximately $8 billion, ranking it among the top 20 cryptocurrencies globally. Moreover, as Pavel Durov noted, TON has become the number one blockchain in terms of daily NFT trading volume, which only strengthens more its position in the market and demonstrates its leadership in the rapidly growing segment of non-fungible tokens. Its daily trading volume of around $200 million signals robust liquidity and investor engagement. Also several elements underpin TON’s promising trajectory. Telegram’s vast and active user base provides an unparalleled advantage, offering a ready audience that could accelerate adoption as blockchain features are further integrated into the app. Additionally, TON’s forward-thinking design, with its emphasis on scalability and efficiency, sets it apart from older, less agile blockchains, attracting both developers and users seeking cutting-edge solutions. The growing synergy between TON and Telegram, combined with the rising mainstream acceptance of cryptocurrencies, points to a strong future. Industry observers suggest that TON could ascend into the top 10 cryptocurrencies, propelled by its innovative technology and the strategic advantage of its Telegram ecosystem, positioning it as a formidable contender in the blockchain race. Investment Considerations TON presents to us with a compelling blend of potential rewards and inherent uncertainties. Its tight integration with Telegram offers a distinct edge, as few cryptocurrencies can tap into such an expansive and engaged user pool, potentially driving demand as the platform introduces more blockchain-based functionalities. The cryptocurrency’s advanced technological framework further enhances its appeal, equipping it to support the next generation of decentralized applications, from DeFi to NFTs, which could translate into significant growth if Telegram’s monetization efforts succeed. However, this opportunity comes with caveats. TON’s history, including its earlier regulatory tussle with the SEC, serves as a reminder of the persistent legal and compliance challenges that could shape its path forward. Like its peers, TON is not immune to the crypto market’s characteristic volatility, with prices susceptible to rapid shifts caused by sentiment or external events. It also faces fierce competition from entrenched giants like Ethereum and fast-rising networks like Solana, all battling for supremacy in the blockchain space. Despite these hurdles, TON’s unique strengths and strategic positioning make it an intriguing prospect for observation and possible investment in the future. TON is more than just a cryptocurrency, it’s a blockchain platform with the potential to transform digital interactions, especially within the extensive Telegram ecosystem. Its innovative technology, coupled with Telegram’s global reach, sets the stage for pretty notable growth in the years ahead. Though challenges like regulation and competition persist, TON’s prospects remain promising.

Gold has recently broken below its 4-hour bullish Fair Value GapGold Market Analysis (In-depth & Strategic Overview): Gold has recently broken below its 4-hour bullish Fair Value Gap (FVG) and is currently trading beneath its Consequent Encroachment (CE) level — a signal that short-term bullish momentum has weakened. In the latest 4H candle, the market swept the liquidity resting below the previous day's lows, a classic move to trap early sellers and collect stop-losses. Right after this liquidity grab, the price touched the daily bullish FVG, found support there, and then managed to close back inside the 4H FVG. This action reflects a temporary defense by buyers — but the battle is far from over. 📌 Key Levels to Watch: $3401: This is a critical resistance level. If the market successfully closes above $3401, it could signal a bullish continuation, paving the way for an upward move. $3389: This is a crucial support level. If price breaks below $3389, it would likely lead to further downside movement, opening the door for deeper corrections. ⏳ Current Strategy: The best move right now is to wait and watch how the market reacts to these key levels. A breakout above $3401 would confirm strength and potential bullish continuation. Conversely, a breakdown below $3389 could trigger a fresh wave of selling pressure. 🚨 Until one of these levels is clearly broken, the market may remain in a state of indecision or range-bound movement. 🔍 Always DYOR – Do Your Own Research!
