XAUUSD Bearish Reversal: Double Top and Golden Pocket Breakdown!OANDA:XAUUSD - 2Hr
The analysis suggests the market is showing bearish signals, particularly after price rejected at key resistance zones during the Asian session. The Ascending Channel indicates an upward trend, but the breakdown from the channel signals that bullish momentum is weakening.
Key Elements Driving the Short Trade:
1. Golden Pocket (0.5–0.618 Fib):
The price has reached the Golden Pocket (between 0.5 and 0.618 Fibonacci levels), a strong reversal zone. Rejections in this zone often signal a potential change in trend, especially when combined with other bearish signals.
2. MML Major Resistance:
The MML Major Resistance suggests that the market is encountering a significant obstacle, further validating the potential for a reversal.
3. Strong Resistance:
The price is facing Strong Resistance at higher levels, which is causing the price to struggle and reject, confirming the reversal bias.
4. Double Top:
The Double Top pattern at the Golden Pocket indicates that the price has attempted to break higher twice but failed, signaling weakness and a likely bearish shift. This pattern often leads to a trend reversal.
5. Price Gap:
A Price Gap further confirms a shift in market sentiment, with a possible imbalance or sudden price movement that reinforces the bearish view.
Current Price Action:
During the Asian session, price broke down from the Ascending Channel, signaling a shift from an uptrend to a potential downtrend. The breakdown occurred near Equilibrium and the 50% Fib retracement, reinforcing the idea of a reversal as this is where price typically finds resistance in a trend. The Double Top at the Golden Pocket suggests a strong potential for a downward move as the price has failed to continue higher. Currently, the price is above a Strong Pivot Point, which is acting as support, potentially leading to a short-term pullback or consolidation before the bearish move continues.
Interpretation:
The combination of the Golden Pocket, Double Top, and rejection at key resistance levels gives a strong bearish signal. The ideal entry point would be after confirmation of price breaking below the Strong Pivot Point or failing to sustain above it, with a target near the next support or at Price Gap, as mentioned Price target. Place the stop loss just above the Double Top or near the Strong Resistance zone to limit risk in case the market reverses back up.
In conclusion, the market is showing signs of a bearish reversal after rejection at multiple key levels, and the analysis points toward potential short opportunities with proper risk management.

USD/JPY Long Setup: Gap Fill in Focus
A recent price gap on the USD/JPY chart suggests potential for a long position. Given the price gap, we expect a possible gap fill scenario similar to last week, where the price moved to close the gap. This provides an opportunity to enter a long trade, anticipating upward movement with a careful stop loss.

We tapped into the 4H-FVG(L), into the YOP again, and took out the PDL PWL with the move up during the over night sessions and into the NY session. We left a new 4H-FVG through the lows taken out, a new 4H-OB, a Price gap on the 1H LTF and in the process of trading down into the PWH from 8/30.
This will be our biggest news release, however, we do have a few #FOMC speakers but not Powell. We also have Richmond Manufacturing Index numbers #RMI and the S&P/CS Composite-20 HPI y/y at 9:00am.

#BullishCase: A bullish move on Dollars means that we are seeing a LTF move through the 4H-FVG. Once we move through it we see that price uses the 4H-FVG as an IFVG setup to the upside. We then target the previous -POIs, the PDH from Monday and back into the 4H-IFVG range.
#BearishCase: A bearish scenario is a bit more probable at the moment still. We left fresh -POIs and we can look to take setup off of each of these, the Price Gap, the 4H-FVG, 4H-OB, and as you can see on the 1H TF these same POIs are available as well.

#SPX #DailyOutlook:
We made the low of the day during the over night sessions. There was a NWOG that was left on Sunday and this is where price has been reacting during the NY open session. The PM sessions fell down into the 4H+FVG(H), TDO and D+OB(H) then pushed into the NWOG. There was also a bounce in the London/ Pre Market Session off of the D+OB(H) again. On the open the price rejected the PG but then held the D+OB(H) again and ranging through the NY open until the close.
This will be our biggest news release, however, we do have a few #FOMC speakers but not Powell. We also have Richmond Manufacturing Index numbers #RMI and the S&P/CS Composite-20 HPI y/y at 9:00am.

#BullishCase: The bullish case will be our response to the NWOG (New Week Open Gap) which we have reacted off of and sold off from but, at the current price we are sitting near the low again. We could use the PG to push through and buy from and the aim will be the PDH/PWHs. Look for an impulse through and a return to it.
#BearishCase: The PDL from Monday is our POI for the sell setup. We need to watch the LTFs for an impulse through the low and on the LTFs once we trade through the low wait for a fresh -POI for a LTF setup.

Quantstamp Delayed A Pump Still WaitsI think we can retest this upper price gap on QST as long as BTC goes up or sideways. We are oversold but price seems to have bottomed and the price is gently moving up. Not financial advice, DYOR.
Adobe Rebounds Following a Sharp DropThe market’s recent bounce has lifted some technology stocks mired in downtrends. One example is Adobe.
The software company plunged on September 15 after a double dose of unwelcome news. ADBE not only missed revenue estimates. It also announced the $20 billion takeover of Figma in a deal Wall Street considered too rich.
The stock soon found itself under $280 for the first time since March 2020. It proceeded to rebound and yesterday tried to enter the bearish gap. But it couldn’t hold. Will the high from last month’s big negative day turn into new resistance?
Second, there was also a bearish outside day versus Tuesday. That’s a potential reversal pattern.
Next, stochastics returned to an overbought condition.
Finally, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) is approaching from above. Will sellers look for the stock’s downtrend to continue from this line?

Riot Blockchain Breaks the 50-day SMABitcoin miner Riot Blockchain has been skidding lower since February, but now it could be ready to move again.
The main feature on its chart is its jump above the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) on July 26. It’s formed a tight consolidation pattern above the line since. The current action differs from a moment like early July, when it failed to hold above that line.
Next, RIOT’s 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) just crossed above the 21-day EMA.
Third, prices recently tested and held the 200-day SMA.
The other question for RIOT is obviously your outlook for Bitcoin, which just had its biggest two-week gain since March. It’s now making higher lows as it consolidates around $40,000. If prices continue higher from here, RIOT could break its five-month downtrend and head back toward their 2021 highs.

Netflix Staggers After Bearish GapNetflix was an early beneficiary of coronavirus as stay-at-home orders boosted demand. That makes today’s news of potential vaccine success from Pfizer a clear negative.
NFLX has other issues. In particular, a bearish gap on October 21 after subscriber growth missed estimates. Management warned that would happen in July because the pandemic was essentially cannibalizing future growth.
Second, NFLX never made new highs in early September – even as the broader the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 hit new highs.
Third, the most recent high on October 14 was slightly below its July peak. That’s resulting in a double-top (potential bearish reversal pattern).
Finally, the current failure occurs at the 50-day simple moving average (SMA).

CADCHF possible shortAnalysing on a bigger timeframe, the area of resistance is formed from a price gap (which makes for a strong resistance area), and has been repeatedly tested. To lookout for a bearish formation around this resistance, then wait for confirmation. It's a trade with a great risk to reward ratio
Target Clings to Support, With Gap Looming BelowTarget reported decent earnings this week, but not a lot of buyers showed up. Now traders may want to watch for a potential breakdown with the big-box retailer near a key price zone.
TGT gapped from $86 to $100 last August on signs that its big digital push had paid off. It followed that with another strong quarterly report on November 20.
Since then, however, things haven't been so hot. TGT peaked around $130 a week before Christmas. It then announced in mid-January that the key holiday-shopping season missed estimates. The shares gapped down, bounced feebly and then continued lower to a potentially important level around $105.
This zone could be crucial because it's near the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) and the price area shortly after the August gap.
The recent price action is also potentially bearish because TGT tried to rally after earnings three days ago, but hit resistance around the old $111 support area from January 31.
Relative strength has been poor over the course of 2020, with TGT trending lower even as the S&P 500 hit new highs in January and February. It also faces potential risk from the spread of coronavirus.
Still, there isn't confirmation yet. Traders shopping for downside in TGT may want to wait for a close below the 200-day SMA.
