XAUUSDXAUUSD . Potential short opportunity.
Our idea remains the same as yesterday however we are posting an adaptive analysis.
The price on XAUUSD has made a new ATH (All Time High) we are due for a pullback (at least 50%). Our new key levels are sitting at 2600, 2560, 2545, 2530. Our entry is at 2589. We are expecting the price to drop down to our Key Levels (KL). Every break of the new KL will result in deeper pullback . Stops are set at yesterday’s high. We must keep in mind that gold is still overall bullish and even if we see our KL4 (2530) we would still expect the price to go up from there.
Overall still bullish on XAUUSD .
PARAMETERS
- Entry: 2589
- SL: 2600
- TP1: 2560
- TP2: 2545
- TP3: 2530
KEY NOTES
- Possible double top on XAUUSD.
- Break of KL2 could result in deeper pullbacks (KL2 -> KL3).
- Break of yesterday’s low could result in deeper pullbacks (KL3 -> KL4).
- Stop is set at the previous days high.
Happy trading!

Trading minute impulseOn the minute timeframe of XAUUSD at the moment we have the completion of the impulse formation. If the price continues to move in the direction of the impulse and the support zones do not allow it to overcome the base of the impulse, it may reach the targets 1 and 2. If the price fails to advance in the direction of the momentum and overcomes the support zone at the base of the momentum, it is very likely that the price will move sideways or against the direction of the momentum.

Now analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of NIO prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 4usd strike price Calls with
an expiration date of 2024-9-6,
for a premium of approximately $0.24.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
My New Signal Strategy Has 100% Accuracy!Traders,
This is insane! My jaw literally dropped when I back-tested my new signal strategy. While I was playing around on the charts, as I do, with a couple of different indicators, by sheer chance I discovered a combination of indicators that I had never seen or heard any trader ever discuss. I had seen them discussed individually. But no one that I know has ever paired the two indicators. And while I was tracking the signals that they threw at me after some customization, I noticed something that I could not believe! In back-testing the combination on a daily basis, they showed 100% accuracy on Bitcoin for the last 2 years! I repeat 100%!
Now, I know my critics will be quick to point out that many indicators will repaint. And yes, this is true. My indicator system does also repaint. However, even with the repainting, the system still can be utilized with a +90-95% success rate pending assets.
This is why I have told all of my subscribers that I am completely ditching my old model of trading which involved an abundance of work analyzing, drawing levels, drawing trend lines, drawing patterns, and other manual activities. I will throw all of that away and replace it with this new signal model and I plan to implement this model completely starting in October.
But before then, I have a little work to do and so I wanted to at least give you all (especially my faithful paid subs ...love you guys!) a sneak peek of what I am looking at.
So, here it is.
The green vertical lines show us where we receive our buy signal. The red vertical lines show us where we are told to sell. In this example, I go one year back to September of 23 but you can go all the way back to September of 22 and still see 100% signal accuracy. I did not track it farther back than this. I am already ecstatic to have found this kind of success rate!
I also tracked the time between trades. We start with our longest trade entry on September 12th, 2023. That's held for 103 days until we are given a SELL signal indicated by the vertical red line. At that point, we can go short or just sit the sidelines. It is another 33 days until we are given a BUY. You get the idea.
The average time per trade is definitely longer than our current average of 15 days. But will you all mind with this kind of success? I am assuming not.
One more thing to note and something I think is cool is that the indicator often gives 2 or more chances to buy or sell. This means that if you follow my channel and miss a signal immediately, that may be okay. You might actually have a second chance for entry such as most recently with Bitcoin. It has given us two chances to BUY thus far since August. And yes, I just gave away a free signal.
You're welcome.
Can't wait to implement this system ya'll. Hope you'll be as excited as I am rn once we work out a few of the wrinkles.
More to come.

Is your ETH and SOL working for you !?The crypto market never sleeps which means leaving your holdings stagnant could mean missing out on significant opportunities.
So it’s time to ask yourself:
Are your assets maximizing their potential, or are they just gathering virtual dust?
You wouldn’t leave all your money in a low interest savings account, so why do it with your crypto?
The idea is to put your investments to work, so they keep earning returns without you lifting a finger. I’ll walk you through exactly how to read it and use it to your advantage.
But that’s just the beginning, we’ll also be covering:
-Yield strategies: A breakdown of the strategies we use to generate yield.
-Pros and cons: The advantages and drawbacks of each strategy.
Not sure what options are best for you?
Are you letting your capital sit idle?
Worried about security risks?
This analysis is about to change that .I’ll show you how to maximize your returns and crush those security fears, so you can confidently put your assets to work
Let's dive right in and kick things off with the ‘crowd favorite’ of yield strategies: staking
Staking is exclusive to Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchains and their associated tokens.
Meaning you cannot gain staking yield from Bitcoin, for example, because it is a Proof of Work (PoW) blockchain. by staking your tokens like CRYPTOCAP:ETH or CRYPTOCAP:SOL , you receive a portion of newly minted tokens, effectively earning yield while playing a vital role in securing the network.
If you’re not staking, you could be missing out on significant gains, with potential returns ranging from 3% to 18% APY. that’s why many investors choose to stake their assets rather than let them sit idle
Staking has become a widely adopted strategy, with staking ratios (amount staked vs. unstaked) sitting between 20% and 80% on most POS blockchains In fact, a staggering $520 billion is currently staked across the top PoS blockchains, underscoring its popularity as a method for generating additional income.
Assuming an average 5% reward rate, that equates to $25 billion in staking rewards. That’s massive.
Despite the appeal of earning extra income through staking, becoming a solo staker can be technically challenging which is why staking providers like Lido, Rocket Pool, and Jito have emerged.
They handle network validation for the rest of us, while maximizing our staking yield.
Let’s break down the pros and cons of using a staking provider:
Pros:
✅ Security and efficiency: Our tokens are put to work securely and efficiently, contributing to the network’s security without us having to manage it all ourselves.
✅ Maximized rewards: We earn the majority of staking rewards without needing to handle the technical complexities, making it a hassle-free way to generate income.
✅ Liquidity retention: We receive liquid tokens as proof of our staked assets, allowing us to stay flexible and use them in other DeFi opportunities.
Cons:
❌ Fees: These providers typically charge a fee ranging from 8% to 25% for their validation services, which can slightly reduce your overall yield.
❌ Smart contract risks: There are inherent risks associated with smart contracts, such as bugs and/or vulnerabilities, that could potentially impact your staked assets.
By weighing these pros and cons, you can decide whether outsourcing your staking through liquid staking providers is the right strategy for you.
Ok, so if that’s the case how do we go about choosing the right liquid staking provider?
Here are some key factors to consider when selecting a provider:
1/ Reputation and security
Track record: Look for providers with a solid track record and a strong reputation in the DeFi space.
Security measures: Ensure the provider employs robust security measures, such as smart contract audits.
2/ Total volume locked
TVL: Check how much liquidity your chosen provider has attracted.
TVL is a quick and effective measure of the broader market's trust in a provider, as it reflects the total amount of assets currently staked or locked in their protocol, valued in dollars.
Feel free to use DefiLlama, which ranks all liquid staking providers by TVL.
Simply select the blockchain you’re interested in, and you’ll see the top players in the space, giving you a clear view of where the most assets are being staked and which providers are leading the market.
3/ Yield rates
Competitive yields: Compare the staking yields offered by different providers. While higher yields are attractive, they should not come at the expense of security or reliability.
Fee structure: Be aware of the fee structure. Liquid staking providers typically charge a small fee for their services, which can impact your overall returns.
4/ Liquidity and flexibility
Liquid staking tokens (LSTs): Check if the liquid tokens issued by the provider are widely accepted across DeFi platforms and have enough liquidity. The more integration and liquidity these tokens have, the better.
Redemption options: Some providers offer instant or flexible redemption options for your staked tokens, which can be crucial if you need quick access to your assets.
5/ Decentralization and governance
Decentralization: Providers that are more decentralized tend to be more resilient to risks such as regulatory actions or central points of failure.
Governance participation: Some providers offer governance rights with their tokens, allowing you to have a say in the protocol’s future direction. This can be an added benefit for those interested in being more involved in the ecosystem.
6/ Community and support
Active Community: A strong, active community can be a good indicator of a provider’s health and future prospects. Engage with the community to gauge the level of transparency and support.
so while you trading and trying to maximize your gains Its good to stake some of your HODL bag as well
Trading minute impulseOn the minute timeframe of XAUUSD at the moment we have the completion of the impulse formation. If the price continues to move in the direction of the impulse and the support zones do not allow it to overcome the base of the impulse, it may reach the targets 1 and 2. If the price fails to advance in the direction of the momentum and overcomes the support zone at the base of the momentum, it is very likely that the price will move sideways or against the direction of the momentum.
Gold- This correction should be boughtIn my comment yesterday, I speculated about the nature of the breakout, as it had been clear after a month of testing the all-time high (ATH) that an upward move was imminent. The breakout was strong, suggesting more gains and new ATHs in the future. The new ATH is now set at 2570, and the price is currently undergoing a normal correction.
While the old ATH provides support, I don't expect a retest today or early next week. Therefore, short positions aren't advisable. Instead, look for buying opportunities around the 2550 level, given the market's strong bullish momentum.
New ATH looks imminent, but how will the break be?Yesterday's CPI report failed to provide a clear direction for Gold's mid-term movement. After initial volatility, during which the $2500 level held as support for the fourth time in two days, Gold once again closed the day near the middle of its range.
While we can't draw a definitive conclusion from the price action, it seems that the price is pressing towards the previous all-time high, and a new high appears imminent. In the short term, the outlook remains bullish as long as the $2500 level holds.
The key mid-term question is: What will the nature of the potential breakout be (if one occurs)? Given the more than one-month consolidation, we could see a strong breakout with upward acceleration.
However, the $2540 zone, which serves as resistance in the newly formed upward channel, poses a technical challenge. A failure to break above this level could see Gold retreat below $2500.
In conclusion: Short-term outlook remains bullish, but mid-term direction is still unclear.
NAS100 at a Crucial Juncture: What’s Next for the Index?In my previous NAS100 analysis, I mentioned that as long as 19,500 held as resistance, a drop to 17,000 was likely. Initially, the index did begin to fall, but it found strong support at the April all-time high (ATH) and reversed upward.
Now, the price is once again approaching this crucial resistance. Looking at the chart, we can clearly see the significance of this confluence, marked by the falling trend line, the horizontal level, and the retest of the broken channel support.
A break above this level would put NAS100 back on a bullish track, potentially targeting the previous ATH, with an extension toward 22,000 where the channel's resistance lies.
On the flip side, for bears to gain control, a bearish engulfing pattern needs to form today.
Lingrid | GOLD a Tedious SIDEWAYS trend CONTINUESOANDA:XAUUSD has pulled back, as I mentioned in my post yesterday. The price is currently trading within the range of the previous day. At this point, the market could move in either direction due to the high-impact news today. Overall, the price continues to bounce off the psychological level of 2500. I believe that if volatility increases, this level, combined with the lower boundary of the channel that acts as an upward trendline, would serve as a strong support area. My target is resistance zone around 2530
Traders, if you liked this idea or if you have your own opinion about it, write in the comments. I will be glad 👩💻
Lingrid | GBPJPY short OPPORTUNITY at 187.000FX:GBPJPY has gained bearish momentum and has reached the support level, where it is likely to consolidate. On the 1H timeframe, we can clearly see the bearish trend characterized by lower lows and lower closes. Recently, the price bounced off this level and is currently moving towards the psychological level of 187.000. I anticipate that the market may experience a spike upward before making a sharp move down toward the recent support level. My goal is support level at 184.100
Traders, if you liked this idea or if you have your own opinion about it, write in the comments. I will be glad 👩💻
Hellena | GOLD (4H): Short to support area of 2471.720.In the last forecast I assumed a price decline to the area of 2443, but a difficult correction took place and now we see a flat.
I believe that the decline will still take place, but I will set the target a little closer than before. I will set the target in the support area of 2471.720. This is the boundary of the flat.
