Gold Price Action Analysis – Using MMC (Mirror Market Concepts) 🔍 Overview:
In this idea, we dive deep into XAU/USD's (Gold) short-term bearish move using a blend of Mirror Market Concepts (MMC) and Smart Money Concepts (SMC). The 15-minute chart provides an excellent visual of market psychology shifting, with CHoCHs, supply-demand zones, SR flips, and the Black Mind Curve highlighting the story of price.
🧩 Market Structure Breakdown:
🔵 1. Major Resistance Zone Formed
Price pushed aggressively upward but met strong rejection near the major resistance zone.
This zone acts as a ceiling for the bullish momentum—setting the first signal for a possible reversal.
🔵 2. Black Mind Curve Activated
A descending Black Mind Curve was plotted to reflect the psychological shift from bullish to bearish.
Price failed multiple times to break above this curve, highlighting strong internal weakness.
The Black Mind Curve visually reinforces the bearish tone and offers a roadmap for probable lower highs.
🔵 3. Minor Resistance + SR Interchange
As price dropped, it created a minor resistance.
When price returned to this area and rejected it, this confirmed an SR Flip (Support-Resistance Interchange)—a classic MMC feature.
Mirror Market Concepts suggest that old demand often mirrors into new supply. That's exactly what happens here.
🔵 4. Major CHoCH: Change of Character
A decisive break of the bullish structure signaled a Major CHoCH, confirming bearish order flow.
This is the moment smart money starts repositioning for shorts—liquidity has been grabbed above previous highs, and the direction shifts.
🔵 5. 50% Retracement
After the impulsive drop, price retraced nearly 50%—a key area of interest for MMC traders.
This level often acts as a decision point. In this case, price rejects the retracement, creating an ideal zone for re-entries.
🔵 6. Targeting the Demand Zone
The projected target lies in a prior demand zone, which mirrors earlier supply structure.
This aligns with MMC’s principle of "market reflection"—what was resistance becomes support again, and vice versa.
🎯 Trade Bias: Bearish
Entry Confirmation: After CHoCH + rejection from 50% level + re-alignment with Black Mind Curve.
SL: Just above the 50% retracement or last minor high.
TP: At the marked target zone near historical demand.
🧠 Why MMC Works Here:
MMC helps you see the market in reverse—where previous zones mirror and reflect. Combined with smart money triggers like CHoCHs, BOS, liquidity sweeps, and SR flips, this makes for a precise trading model that goes beyond basic support and resistance.
The beauty of MMC is that it reveals where the crowd is wrong and where the real momentum lies.
🔑 Key Takeaways for Traders:
The Black Mind Curve helps visualize hidden resistance paths.
CHoCHs are crucial in understanding market intent.
MMC allows traders to anticipate instead of react.
High probability setups form where multiple MMC/SMC elements converge.
Always wait for confirmation, not assumption.

Gold 4H VIP Move – MMC Curve Break or Bounce?📈 Market: XAUUSD – 4H Timeframe
This setup is based on Mirror Market Concepts (MMC), a method that reflects the idea of market symmetry, key structural levels, and curve dynamics (institutional behavior). We’re looking at how price interacts with historically significant zones, demand transfers, and resistance curves.
🔍 Full Chart Analysis Breakdown:
1. ⚙️ Mirror Market Concepts (MMC)
MMC focuses on how past price actions "mirror" into the future. If a zone caused a strong move before, it can likely do it again — either by rejecting price or acting as a magnet for liquidity. You can see how historical supply and demand zones still influence price today.
2. 🧱 Major Resistance Zone (Top Blue Zone: ~$3,470 – $3,520)
This is a historical supply area where sellers were previously dominant.
Every time price enters this zone, it reacts with strong selling pressure.
Watch closely: a clean breakout + retest above this zone could open the door to higher time frame bullish continuation.
3. 🚧 Black Mind Curve Resistance (Orange Arc)
A dynamic resistance level based on institutional selling behavior over time.
This curve aligns with historical highs and retracements, suggesting smart money is actively defending this region.
Price is now testing this curve — either it gets rejected and drops, or breaks above for a breakout boom.
4. 🟦 Mini Reversal Zone (Around $3,400)
This zone sits right under the curve and major resistance, making it a critical decision point.
A strong reaction here could mean a short-term selloff, but if broken, this zone could flip into support, validating the breakout.
5. 📉 Trending Support Line (Upward Diagonal)
Acting as short-term bullish support.
As price pulls back, this trendline could catch the dip, causing a bounce toward the reversal or major resistance zone.
You can also call this the "retest and boom" line, as seen in your chart’s annotation.
6. 🧊 Demand Transferred (Mid-Zone Shift)
Shows where institutional demand entered and was then shifted upward to support the rally.
This is a powerful MMC concept — demand didn’t disappear, it just migrated up, forming new support levels.
7. 🔄 SR Interchange Zone (~$3,160 – $3,200)
Classic support/resistance flip zone.
If the trendline and mid-zone fail, price might drop here to collect liquidity and trigger new buy orders.
This is your “last stand” zone for bulls.
8. 🧱 Break of Structure (BOS) Confirmation
BOS already occurred earlier on the chart — this confirms bullish shift in structure.
Now, price is looking to retest the previous high or break it entirely.
🎯 Trade Scenarios
✅ Bullish Setup (Base Case):
Price continues to hold above the trending support.
Breaks mini reversal zone + Black Curve Resistance.
Retests the zone (validation).
Pushes toward the Major Resistance Zone ($3,470 – $3,520).
⚠️ Bearish Setup (If Rejected):
Price hits the curve and mini reversal zone and gets rejected hard.
Drops back to trending support, possibly breaks it.
Targets SR Interchange Zone (~$3,160 – $3,200) as the next buy zone.
💬 Mind / Trading Wisdom:
“Price doesn’t lie. It reacts. Let it show you the intention — breakout or rejection. Follow MMC structure, respect the curve resistance, and let price action guide your entries.”
📌 Summary for Traders:
Concepts Used: Mirror Market Concepts (MMC), Curve Resistance, SR Flip, Demand Transfer, BOS.
Current Price Action: Testing reversal zone + curve.
Bias: Bullish but cautiously watching for rejection.
Next Levels: Watch $3,400 – $3,520 for decision. Retest = entry. Rejection = liquidity hunt.
Institutional Supply: EUR/CAD Shorthey traders,

Visa Stock Swing Trade Idea off a weekly demand levelIn a world where financial giants constantly jockey for position, Visa has long stood as a titan in the credit card arena. But with recent headlines buzzing about the Department of Justice's lawsuit against it, you might wonder: Is this the beginning of the end for this stalwart brand? Fear not! While challenges loom, Visa’s resilience and strategic prowess depict enduring strength and stability.
There is a strong weekly demand level that has just gained control. We expect Visa stock to rally in the following days. Let's see what happens.
AUDUSD SHORT >We have a Rally-Base-Drop(RBD) Weekly Supply Zone coverage for the RBD Daily Supply Zone
>We have a high quality Leg-out(Imbalance) from Weekly TF and an Explosive leg-out from Daily Supply
*Stochastic RSI confirmation (This is not a Timing tool, We always follow the Law of Supply and Demand):
-Stoch RSI is at Overvalued Zone, meaning price is looking for a Supply Zone to Drop the price. In AUDUSD's case, it already hit the Supply zone. Ride the trend.
>5,10,15 year Seasonality is Down-trending until 1st week of October.
**NOTE**
-Seasonality tool is just a set-up and an add-on guide.
-Supply and Demand is our timing tool.
Signal is good until 1st week of October or until Updated.

$GOOG | Watchlist | Buy Limit |Technical Confluences:
- Price is at Oversold levels from 1H all the way till the Weekly timeframe
- Price just broke the 38% Fibo Retracement level (Orange)
- Price bounced off the 61% Fibo Extension (Blue)
- Price is also in a strong Interest zone; previously the highs of end-2021
- However, price has also broken through a Support trendline
Fundamental Confluences:
- No doubt, Google is a strong name in the tech and now, AI space
- Due to their dominance in many sectors, they are bound to face many kinds of regulatory scrutiny and lawsuits from anti-trust laws etc.
- Revenue streams moving forward may also be affected from the court's hearings
- Considering that Generative AI is picking up traction, will it impact Google's core internet search business activity? Google will definitely still be there just facing stiffer competition
-----
As market is consolidating and rotation out of the tech and AI strategy, I will also bide my time and not rush to get into holding this tech dominant force.
It will be wait and watch story and orders have been set to buy some within the $115 - $130 range.
-----
$BIDU | Allocation | Market Exec | Technical Confluences:
- Price is considered at Oversold conditions in the D1, Weekly and Monthly Timeframes
- Taking a Fibonacci Retracement from the beginning to the high of BIDU, price action is now at the 78% Fibo retracement
- Price levels coincides with a Demand Zone which has been a strong demand zone over many years every time these levels are tested
Fundamental Confluences:
- NASDAQ:BIDU is referred to as the 'Google of China' and has been diversifying it's offering into AI, cloud services and autonomous driving tech.
- Locally, they are up against Tencent and Alibaba in the digital ads, AI and cloud services but on a global scale, Google and Microsoft are there against them
- Being 'Google of China' gives them the brand recognition and giant user-base helping ads revenue
- Financially, they have been reinvesting most of their profits back for R&D and business expansion which for me, is important for Baidu to leave their mark strongly and remain competitive globally.
- Recent earnings showed that they missed Revenue slightly but it's higher than previous Revenue results; EPS has beaten estimates most of the time as well
- However, Baidu has high reliance on the Chinese market and makes them vulnerable to economic downturns or regulatory matters which is the current situation for them now
-----
NASDAQ:BIDU is a long-term hold for me and considering it's value has dropped, it could be a value play at 9x forward earnings.
I have previously got my first entry into it early August. Prices is still pretty much at the same levels. I will still look to add on more in the Target Zone area and hold onto it for now
Will revisit it again later on but it's still allocation period for me.
If price breaks below 70 then, I may reconsider re-shifting my target buy levels

$DXY | SilverEdge Insights |Technical Confluences:
Price action is in Oversold conditions in the Daily and Weekly Timeframe. Likely to see some consolidation of positioning here.
Price action broke out of an Upward Sloping Parallel Channel and cleared itself out of the that Interest Zone too. Likely will see a test to re-enter that Channel due to Oversold conditions.
Elliot wave count shows it is trying to compete Wave C (expected target would be to 71% Fibo Extension levels - possible to test the 100% Fibo level)
A new Downward Sloping Parallel Channel is in play now and Price action needs to see it break the mid of the Channel to see a substantial move downwards
Fundamental Confluences:
With the expected cuts, market started unwinding their long USD positions and it is reflected in the TVC:DXY
The extent of Wave C will really depend on how quick and reactive is the FED in cutting rates (the higher chances of 50bps cuts; the likelier we will see USD get sold.
Building into next week, we are likely to see some traders cover their short USD positions as they size down before NFP data.
However, if there is any gyration on the geopolitical front or US elections, it is possible to see the TVC:DXY reverse back to the top of the Downward Sloping Parallel Channel and top out at the Interest Zone area again
$AUDUSD | Sell Trade | Market Exec |Technical Confluences:
Price is at Overbought conditions Daily timeframe
Price action is close to a resistance trendline and entering an Interest Zone
Fundamental Confluences:
Very similar to the OANDA:NZDUSD posting I did, all other Central Banks in the DM space wanting to cut rates, it negates off the yield premium that NZD would be getting against USD
Market is consolidating after all the USD sell-off and profit-taking mood before NFP is likely to happen
AUD being a commodity currency is greatly affected by China's economic performance and it is currently still looking bleak
-----
I have also taken a Short position in the FX:AUDUSD trade and monitoring that the Resistance trendline and Interest Zone don't break.
Within the Orange Zones, I will look to add position if I see further support that the Resistance will hold
-----
$NZDUSD | Sell Trade | Market Exec |Technical Confluences:
Price action is in Overbought conditions for Daily and Weekly Timeframe
Price bounced off the 38% Fibo retracement
Price is also rejecting the Resistance trendline
Price action also reversed away from an Interest Zone
Fundamental Confluences:
With all other Central Banks in the DM space wanting to cut rates, it negates off the yield premium that NZD would be getting against USD
Market is consolidating after all the USD sell-off and profit-taking mood is here now
-----
Took a short position here targeting the 38% Fibo extension level while will look to cut above the Interest Zone. Risk/Reward ratio is at 2.41.
Price should not break above the Resistance trendline to affirm the recent price has topped out.
-----
Will EURAUD Bounce Up ?I see EURAUD entering the demand area with the second touch, waiting for confirmation which is formed in the low time frame, as validation EURAUD will really bounce up, which is a wise step in the EURAUD trading plan. If you zoom in on TF H4 in the first circle you can clearly see a strong demand zone.
Hopefully I'm right and profits will be made.
