#202510 - priceactiontds - weekly update - dax futuresGood Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Market had big swings up and down last week but went nowhere after Monday’s gap up. Can’t be anything but neutral. The bull channel is valid until broken so bulls remain in control.
current market cycle: Bull trend until consecutive daily closes below 22000
key levels: 22000 - 24000
bull case: Above 23500 we could go for 24000 next week. Market is still euphoric given the probable spending spree the new government wants to do. It’s still being front-run since there are still couple of hurdles before that bill is approved, so bulls better be cautious buying new highs on the hopes of higher ones. New highs were immediately sold lately so I guess we continue with the deeper pullbacks for bulls to buy. I’d be very surprised if we see an acceleration of this trend and a break above the channel. More likely is some more sideways to down until we hit the lower trend line again.
Invalidation is below 21900.
bear case: Bears selling new highs and making decent money but that’s about it. Bull channel is alive and well and we have not closed a daily bar below the daily 20ema since first trading day of 2025. Bears had a really strong bear day on Tuesday but the follow-through was even better, so they are burned again if they did not take profits the same day. Bears can start yapping again once we have a daily close below 23k, until they I will mainly look for long scalps.
Invalidation is above 23500.
short term: Neutral around 23000/223400 and only interested in strong momentum trades. Longs above 500 or around 23k. Shorts only on another strong rejection above 400 or very strong selling below 23k.
medium-long term from 2024-02-16: As much as I would love to see this 30% lower, it’s not happening anytime soon. Market will probably has to move sideways for some weeks before this could go down.
current swing trade: None
chart update: Removed last weeks guess of a contracting range. Market is still too bullish for that. Added new bull channel.
Priceaction
#202510 - priceactiontds - weekly update - nasdaq e-mini futuresGood Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Bear rejections around 20000 are getting stronger and we could have seen the intermediate lows on Friday. I lean heavily bullish since we have touched the big bull trend line and market reacted there as expected. Bounce up could easily go for 21k again, which is the 50% retracement. Again. Bears need to form a proper wider channel down if they want lower prices. The past 3 weeks of selling were getting climactic and unsustainable.
current market cycle: trading range
key levels: 19500 - 21400
bull case: Very bullish daily bar on Friday and bulls need follow-through to trigger a short squeeze. They want at least 21k again and if bears are not strong enough there, this selling could already be over again. 50% retracement is 21k and two big magnets are enough for me to have this as my main target next week. Bulls have to stay above 20k or they risk more poking at the bull trend line that started 2 years ago. On the monthly chart we are in a perfect bull wedge that has room to the upside and a bounce would fit the structure much more than a break below 19700.
Invalidation is below 20400.
bear case: Bears have shown strength for 3 consecutive weeks but are they really gonna fight the big trend line before we had a bounce? Selling around 20k is bad, no matter how you look at it. My measured move target for the bears was 19600 and the low was 19766. I really don’t have much for the bears at these lows. Sure we can continue down but it’s very unlikely. Best bears could get is probably sideways movement and if they are really strong, we stay below 20400.
Invalidation is above 20400.
short term: Neutral until bulls continue. Heavy bullish bias going into next week. I doubt we go much lower than 19766. 21k is my target.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-02-23: Neutral since we are in a 4-5 month trading range. Still leaning heavily bearish for this year but for now it’s sideways until we get consecutive daily closes below 20000.
current swing trade: None
chart update: Updated possible bigger wave thesis for the next months. Until we have a W2 and new lows afterwards, it’s a rough guess.
#202510 - priceactiontds - weekly update - bitcoinGood Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Every bounce is sold. Target 75k remains but I hope for 70k. The big bear trend line is valid until broken, so bulls need to claim 94k again for higher prices. Not the white house summit nor the crypto reserve could break the bear trend line, why would it break now? People are running for the exits and are desperate for exit liquidity. Hence the explosion in "btfd posts”.
current market cycle: bear trend
key levels: 70k - 94k
bull case: Bulls need anything above 94k to break above the bear trend line. If they can claim it, no reason not to go for 100k again but for now that’s a pipe dream. This is going down and bulls would need to stop the daily big bear bars for more days to turn this neutral again.
Invalidation is below 70k.
bear case: Bears showing strength and are in full control. They want to retest the previous ath 73805 and the cluster of previous highs in that area. For now it’s tough to have a better looking structure than this ABC move. The weekly chart could be seen as W3 we are currently in but it’s ugly af. If bears are really strong, we go directly down to 70k and then we could very well test the bull trend line around 67k. There is no reason why it should break on the next touch but it would be amazing for the bears to get there because it would be a 40% crash in roughly 2 months. I am enjoying this down move a lot, given the attention these people get, that tell everyone they should sell their grandmother and a kidney to buy btc above 100k.
Invalidation is above 94k.
short term: Max bearish. Any pullback is a good short with a stop 97k.
medium-long term - Update from 2025-02-23: 75000 is still my biggest target for 2025. It’s happening. 70k/75k and then I expect a bigger bounce first. Then we will see if we can go lower or not. For now it’s very low probability that the big bull trend line from 2023-10 breaks anytime soon.
current swing trade: None
chart update: Removed 5-wave thesis for now.

Always use stoploss for your trade.
Always use proper money management and proper risk to reward ratio.
This is just my analysis or prediction.
#GBPUSD 4H Technical Analyze Expected Move.
GOLD UPDATE ROUTE MAPI am currently analyzing the 4-hour timeframe of gold. As we know, there has been strong bearish pressure in the gold market over the past few days. Therefore, my focus will remain on bearish opportunities. On the higher timeframe, gold has broken its bullish trendline, and my selling area will be around this level, as seen on the chart. I will wait for the price to reach my key levels and either show bearish confirmation or any reversal signal so that I can plan my sell entry at my ideal level. Confirmation is very important. Let's see what happens.
Always use stoploss for your trade.
Always use proper money management and proper risk to reward ratio.
This is just my analysis or prediction. Let's analyze more deeply in smaller time frame.

Russel 2000 Compared to General MarketTVC:RUT has continued to sell off since my last couple posts and I believe we could see a huge market correction this year if price doesn't look to stop selling.
The next play on RUT I would like to see price pullback to the last breakout zone ($2,200) to confirm a continuation in trend
This play also looks very familiar to the 2022 selloff with equal highs to our current price structure. Seeing that AMEX:SPY is at a higher high tells me there is market-wide divergence and a topping pattern could be in play.
Now when we add CRYPTOCAP:BTC and $OTHER to the mix we can see bitcoin actually tops out first while Alts and SPX look to make one more leg up before crashing out.
The Trend Reader at the lower tab has topped out and has a bearish crossing in the overbought zone indicating we can see a long term play to the downside.
Channel**SAND/USDT – 15-Minute Chart Analysis**
The price has formed a **double bottom** near the **0.3040 - 0.3027** support zone and is showing signs of bullish reversal. A breakout from the short-term downtrend structure has occurred, and a **higher low** is forming.
Entry has been taken at the breakout with a target around **0.3206**, which aligns with a previous resistance level. The stop-loss is set below the recent support zone.
🟢 **Trade Management**: Close **half of the position** at **TP1** to secure profits and let the rest run.
Gold (XAUUSD) - Liquidity Grab & Potential ReversalGold has been showing interesting price action around key levels, forming a potential double top structure. The market tested the 2,930.19 resistance level, rejecting it sharply and showing signs of exhaustion.
Possible Scenario:
- Point A : Price is currently reacting from a key resistance level where liquidity is stacked.
- Point B : A potential sweep of liquidity around 2,874.04 , where price could create a demand zone before reversing.
- Point C : If buyers step in after the liquidity grab at B, we could see a rally back into the resistance zone, targeting a break of 2,930.19 .
However, if the structure breaks lower without a strong buyer reaction, further downside could come into play, possibly targeting 2,820 as the next liquidity zone.
Key Considerations:
- Monitoring fundamental catalysts such as economic data and interest rate decisions. With NFP and Fed updates this week, volatility is expected!
- Watching for confirmation of bullish intent after the liquidity grab.
- Tracking volume to gauge potential momentum.
🚀 Do you think gold will hold above 2,874.04 , or will bears take over? Drop your thoughts below! 🚀

NZDJPY: Bearish Continuation 🇳🇿🇯🇵
NZDJPY formed a huge head & shoulders pattern after a test
of a key daily resistance.
Its neckline violation is a strong bearish trend-following signal.
I think that the market will continue falling.
Next support - 84.0
❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️
BTCUSD – Head & Shoulders Confirmed?In my previous analysis ( ), I outlined a potential Head & Shoulders formation that could lead to a bearish move. So far, price action has followed this structure accurately.
Key Developments:
✅ The right shoulder seems to be forming as expected.
✅ Price grabbed liquidity above $92,500 before reacting downward.
✅ A double top has formed, adding further bearish confluence.
What’s Next?
If the market respects this pattern, a break below the neckline could confirm a continuation lower, with a potential target at $59,117 , aligning with the full Head & Shoulders projection.
Conclusion:
So far, this setup is playing out perfectly. If bearish pressure continues, we could see a deeper decline. However, a sustained move above $95,150 would invalidate this scenario.

2025-03-06 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Another ath but two rejections for 300+ points. I give bulls one more try at this and if we pull back below 23300 again, this likely sells off into the weekend. Past 3 Friday’s we chopped into the weekend after a gap down. Right now is not the time to have bigger positions over the weekend when orange face is at work.
current market cycle: bull trend until trend line is broken (daily close below 22300)
key levels: 22000 - 24000
bull case: Bulls want 24k now. They are high enough that they could get there but the upper bull trend line is still resistance and every time we touched it in the past days, we sold off for couple hundred points. Bulls know that and since we closed high, I doubt many want to buy above 23200 and hold those over the weekend. Weekly close above 23000 would be very good for the bulls though.
Invalidation is below 22900.
bear case: Bears need the week to close below 23k, no ifs or buts. A head & shoulders breakdown would be my preferred structure tomorrow, with a measured move down could get us to 22500 but we would need a news bomb I guess. Technically chop between 23000 - 23500 is most likely after a wild week. Weekly close couple ticks below 23k. Anything below 22900 tomorrow is a bear surprise and could go much lower then. Again, my bullish targets were all met with 23k and this channel can’t go on forever but until it’s broken, bulls are in control.
Invalidation is above 23600.
short term: Neutral around 23200/300. Bearish only below 22900 or around 23500. I’d like to see a lower high tomorrow and then some really big bear bars and a bear surprise. More likely is chop though. Next days we could get some news that the current government might not be able to get enough votes to get the gigantic special budget approved. If so, could trigger a mini-crash. This market is up here on the hopes and dreams of German stimulus. Not saying it won’t happen but front-running goes horribly wrong sometimes.
medium-long term from 2024-02-26: As much as I would love to see this 30% lower, it’s not happening anytime soon. Market will probably has to move sideways for some weeks before this could go down. Daily close below 22000 is needed to turn this neutral and end the bull trend-.
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Buying from 23130 was insanely strong on US open but so was the rejection. Both trades were good if you are comfortable with reversing positions. You could have bought at previous support and sold at previous resistance. So both were amazing trades and not the hardest to take.

Avoid Market Maker Traps: Liquidity Sweeps & FVG ExplainedUnderstanding Market Maker's Perspective: Liquidity Sweeps and Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
In this educational post, I'll dive into the smart money concepts (SMC) that help traders understand market behavior from a broker or market maker's perspective. This analysis will focus on liquidity sweeps, Fair Value Gaps (FVG), and how market makers use these strategies to manipulate price movements.
What is a Liquidity Sweep?
A liquidity sweep occurs when the market pushes through a known level of liquidity, such as stop losses or pending orders. This action often creates sharp wicks or sudden moves, typically engineered by smart money to gather liquidity for their positions.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) Explained
An FVG is a price gap between a consecutive bullish and bearish candle (or vice versa), leaving a void in the market. These gaps often act as magnets for price, as market makers seek to "fill" these gaps, using them as traps for retail traders.
The Retail Trader's Perspective
Many new traders view the FVG as a signal to enter the market, expecting price to move in their favor immediately. They often set stop losses below recent lows, providing market makers with a clear liquidity target.
How Market Makers Exploit Liquidity
Market makers often execute a classic trap strategy:
Push the price up slightly to create a false sense of security for retail buyers.
Execute a sharp move down to trigger stop losses and capture liquidity below key levels.
Finally, reverse the price direction sharply to the upside, aligning with their true market intent.
Practical Trading Strategy
For new traders, understanding this concept can help avoid common traps:
Avoid entering trades at the FVG without confirmation.
Look for signs of a liquidity sweep, such as long wicks or strong rejections.
Enter trades only after seeing a market structure shift (MSS) that confirms the true direction.
Conclusion
By thinking like a market maker, traders can align their strategies with smart money concepts, improving their chances of success. Always remain patient, seek confirmation, and avoid the traps set by market manipulation.
This post aims to educate traders on avoiding common pitfalls and developing a more strategic approach to trading using smart money concepts.
Gold (XAUUSD) - Inverse Head & Shoulders Breakout Setup!Hello everyone, i hope you all will be doing good in your life and your trading as well, let's discuss about Gold and it is showing a strong bullish setup with an inverse head and shoulders pattern on the 1-hour chart . This means buyers are stepping in , and a breakout above the $2,930-$2,932 neckline could push prices higher toward the next resistance at $2,954-$2,960 . A stop-loss around $2,910-$2,906 can help manage risk in case of a pullback. Watch for volume confirmation when the breakout happens—it’ll add more strength to the move!
If Gold breaks out and holds above the neckline , we could see a good upside rally as buyers take charge. But if it fails to sustain, we might see some consolidation or even a drop. Best approach? Wait for a clean breakout and retest before jumping in. Stay sharp, manage risk, and trade smart!

Good Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Market made a lower high. Most important fact today. Higher low also but for bears it was more important than for the bulls. Range is contracting between 20300 and 20730, so play it. News bombs will likely determine what we will do tomorrow. Embrace the volatility. Trade small and take profits along the way.
current market cycle: trading range - only daily closes below 20000 mark the end of this bull trend
key levels: 20300 - 20730 (above 20730 we will likely go for 21k / below 20300 is 20000)
bull case: Bulls are in reach to break the bear channel and melt higher again. They need to break above tomorrow or bears might do the unthinkable and go below 20000 into the weekend. We have corrected 10% from the ath and a bounce would be a bit more fitting than continuation. My W2 target is around 21200. Very important for bulls is to print higher lows tomorrow, means staying above 20215.
Invalidation is below 20215.
bear case: Bears continue to have deep intraday bear legs so bulls are not too happy in buying high, which is probably why we are contracting again. Bears want to continue this sharp sell off into the weekend, likely below the big round number 20000. They are still in control until the bear channel is broken.
Invalidation is above 21740.
short term: Neutral but I kinda slightly favor the bulls since we are at the 2024-11, 2025-02 and 2025-01 support. If the bear channel continues, so be it. Happily shorting this for 20k then but I’d be more surprised if we do not make new highs above 20740 tomorrow and test 21k again.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-02-23: Neutral since we are in a 4-5 month trading range. Still leaning heavily bearish for this year but for now it’s sideways until we get consecutive daily closes below 20000.
trade of the day: Range was clear and given, have to play it. Both sides made good money today.

Gold Price ActionHello Trader,
I'm still waiting for this setup. I'll go short in the Hidden Supply Zone. Remember, never trade or follow analysis blindly. Be patient—wait for the liquidity sweep and then observe the candle formation. This analysis is based on a multi-timeframe approach, so always trade wisely.
Don't forget to manage your risk properly. Wishing you all the best and happy trading!
Thank you!
Gold Price ActionHello Traders!
I've marked the liquidity levels and drawn the supply and demand zones on the chart. After a liquidity grab, there's a potential drop from the fresh supply zone. I've kept the charts clean for easy analysis.
As always, manage your risk carefully. Good luck, trade safe, and wishing you all the best!
