7 Best Chart Patterns For Trading Forex and Gold If you are studying chart parts, I prepared for you the list of 7 price action patterns you should never miss. In this article, I will share with you powerful chart patterns for trading forex or any other financial market. These patters work perfectly for day trading, swing trading and scalping. We will study real market examples. I will explain the psychology and meaning of each pattern and explain to you how to trade them. The first chart pattern that we will discuss is double top. The pattern is formed on the edge of a bullish impulse. It is based on 2 equal highs and a higher low between them. A higher low composes a minor support. A strong bearish signal is a breakout of a neckline and a candle close below that. Entry is on its retest. Stop loss is above the highs. Target is the closest strong support. The bullish version of a double top pattern is called double bottom The pattern is formed on the edge of a bearish impulse. It is based on 2 equal lows and a lower high between them. A lower high composes a minor resistance. A strong bullish signal is a breakout of a neckline and a candle close above that. Entry is on its retest. Stop loss is below the lows. Target is the closest strong resistance. The second powerful pattern is a descending triangle formation. The pattern is formed on the edge of a bullish impulse. It is based on at least 2 equal lows and 3 lower highs between them. A falling trend line should respect the lower highs. A strong bearish signal is a breakout of a neckline and a candle close below that. Entry is on its retest. Stop loss is above the highest high. Target is the closest strong support. A bullish variation of a triangle pattern is called an ascending triangle. The pattern is formed on the edge of a bearish impulse. It is based on at least 2 equal highs and 3 higher lows between them. A rising trend line should respect the higher lows. A strong bullish signal is a breakout of a neckline and a candle close above that. Entry is on its retest. Stop loss is below the lowest low. Target is the closest strong resistance. Chart pattern number 5 - Cup & Handle pattern. Cup & handle pattern is the variation of a double bottom. The only difference between 2 patterns is 1 lower low and a consequent higher low, instead of 2 equal lows. Entry trigger and trade execution rules are absolutely the same as with a double bottom. Stop loss is strictly below the lower low. A bearish version of a cup & handle is called an inverted cup & handle. Inverted cup & handle pattern is the variation of a double top. The only difference between 2 patterns is 1 higher high and a consequent lower high, instead of 2 equal highs. Entry trigger and trade execution rules are absolutely the same as with a double top. Stop loss is strictly above the higher high. The last and the most powerful chart pattern is the range . Range is a strictly horizontal parallel channel where the price sets equal highs and equal lows, respecting the support and the resistance of the range. This chart pattern signifies that the market found equilibrium, a fair value. A strong bullish signal is a breakout of a resistance of the range and a candle close above that. Target will be the next strong resistance, stop loss should lie below the lows of the range. A strong bearish signal is a breakout of a support of the range and a candle close below that. Target will be the next strong support, stop loss should lie above the highs of the range. Of course, there are more patterns to study but these 7 are essential .

Gold --> Bear Market Heating Up? Resistance AheadOANDA:XAUUSD rising after a false breakout of 2547. Fundamentally, the situation is quite complicated as well as technically... The metal price is positively affected by the escalating Russia-Ukraine war, making gold more attractive to investors as a safe-haven asset. In addition, the appeal of gold is reinforced by geopolitical tensions, economic risks and a low interest rate environment. Fed officials are expected to speak this week, thereby providing more details on the US interest rate cut roadmap. Currently, according to traders' predictions, there is a 62% chance that the Fed will cut interest rates by 25 basis points in December... Theoretically, it is still unclear whether gold can maintain its bullish momentum as prices are approaching strong resistance and traders are cautious as they wait for new signals on the Fed's interest rate outlook. Technically, gold is in the range of 2643 - 2626. Since the opening of the session, the price has increased quite strongly, which increases the possibility of resistance to stop this increase. The situation is complicated by the mixed fundamental backdrop. A false break of 2647 and consolidation below this area will strengthen the selling pressure. But there is a possibility of a retest of 2686 (order block area) before the decline continues. The expected decline will reach the levels of 2547 - 2471 respectively. Rate, share your opinion and questions, let's discuss what's going on with.

Gold: Uptrend to continue from 2650...Hello everyone, Tom here! As I predicted earlier, gold is becoming more attractive after the dollar entered a consolidation phase... currently at $2657. Accordingly, expectations of additional stimulus measures from China also supported the growth of the metal's price. The focus this week remains on the Fed's speech after signals that tensions in the Middle East are easing a bit. From a technical perspective, gold investors need to watch the range around $2650. Because Since the opening of the session, the price has increased quite strongly, which increases the resistance to stop this increase at the next resistance level. I am assuming its formation With wave 5 and the priority is to target profit taking at 2685 - 2700 respectively.

EURUSD : Realization continues, risks increase!Dear traders, EURUSD is currently in a bearish "flag" phase this Friday morning in Europe, influenced by risk-off flows stemming from escalating geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine and concerns over potential U.S. tariffs on the EU... Now, there is nothing stopping it from further distribution. Key news is on the horizon that traders should approach with caution. A Fed rate cut. And the question is no longer "when" but "how much" the Fed will cut amid persistently high inflation over the past few months. From a technical perspective, the focus is on resistance levels at 1.055 and 1.054, which is the (fib 0.618). A gradual retracement and retest will increase the chances of a breakout. Now, selling pressure on this currency pair is intensifying, prices are entering a risk zone, and buyers are becoming increasingly cautious. We are monitoring the next key downside targets at 1.047-1.044...

BTCUSDT: Bullish momentum continues to buildBINANCE:BTCUSDT continues to hold its ground, trading with an uptrend as buyers look to push the price above a key resistance level. Currently, BTC is consolidating near $91,824, showing signs of accumulation within an ascending triangle pattern. This pattern is often considered a bullish signal, indicating a strong breakout. The current market sentiment remains bullish, supported by institutional interest and macroeconomic factors, such as a weaker dollar and growing demand for cryptocurrencies as a hedge. The chart shows that Bitcoin could gain momentum, especially if buyers manage to break above the key resistance level of $93,300. Traders should keep a close eye on the $93,300 resistance level. A confirmed breakout with high volume could provide an entry point for long positions, while traders remain conservative. However, with the price reacting to strong resistance, I do not rule out the possibility that the price could wait for a pullback to the $90,000-91,000 zone, form a trend line and rise.

Gold: Structure change ... The focus is the speech of the FedHello, dear friends, Ben here Gold prices are surging strongly after breaking through the resistance channel at 2650, as investors turn to this safe haven amid heightened geopolitical uncertainty due to escalating Russia-Ukraine tensions. It’s evident that geopolitical tensions have heightened interest in safe havens, including the yellow metal. However, this inverse correlation has resurfaced in recent weeks, and the strength of the dollar is likely to hinder gold's momentum moving forward. All eyes are on several Fed officials scheduled to deliver speeches this week. Market expectations for a December rate cut have dropped significantly, with current odds at 55.7%, down from 82.5% just a week ago. From a technical perspective, gold has confirmed a trend and shifted sentiment, giving us a major movement to follow in shaping our trading decisions. A false breakout around the local resistance level at 2643 is forming. Price consolidation above this area could trigger further bullish momentum. However, I haven’t ruled out the possibility of a fake move around 2622 to accumulate before a stronger rally. What are your thoughts on this?

SasanSeifi|Will Gold Reach Higher Targets!?Hey there, ✌Analyzing the gold chart on the 2-hour timeframe shows that after a bearish trend and reaching the 2540 level, the price entered a consolidation phase and faced demand. Following the breakout of the supply zone, the price rallied to the 2640 range. Currently, after hitting the 2640 resistance, the price has started a corrective move toward the support zone at 2620-2610. In a bullish scenario, the price is expected to target levels of 2645, 2650, 2660, and potentially 2667-2675. However, rejection and further corrections are possible from these levels. If the price breaks below 2610 and stabilizes, the likelihood of further declines toward 2600-2590 increases. On the daily timeframe, the overall outlook leans more towards a bearish move, with a target of 2500. 💢 Please remember that this is just my personal viewpoint and should not be taken as investment advice. I’d love to hear your thoughts and share opinions! Happy trading!✌😎 Sure, if you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask. I'm here to help!✌

Gold-> Buyer Back Yet?Dear Traders, Ben here! After suffering significant losses last week, gold has regained its recovery momentum and is trading positively above $2,600 on Monday. The fundamental backdrop supports this recovery. Key resistance levels at $2,518 and $2,628 now divide the market into two distinct zones. Meanwhile, market participants are awaiting moves from several Fed officials this week to gain further insights into the U.S. interest rate trajectory. The most likely scenario at the moment is a slight recovery in gold prices following the recent steep sell-off, with expectations for gold to climb higher after several reversals in the USD. In the medium term, bulls need to reassess U.S. policy planning in December, as the Fed is expected to hold rates steady in January. This has not been fully priced into the market, so any adjustments could pose challenges for gold. Technically, since the market opened, prices have climbed considerably, increasing the likelihood of resistance capping further upward movement. A false breakout at $2,589 and subsequent consolidation below this zone would strengthen selling pressure. However, there is potential for a retest of $2,618 (Order Block). Similarly, a failed breakout could trigger selling momentum. But if the fundamentals align strongly in favor of gold, the market may have a chance to shift the local trend from the $2,618 zone.

Market Analysis: CADJPY H1 Bearish Wave Structure AnalysisThis evening, my focus is on the CADJPY H1 timeframe. We have identified a completed bearish wave structure on the H1 timeframe. Earlier this afternoon, during the New York session, a trend reset was observed, breaking above the last Structure 4. From this point, based on wave structure anatomy, we anticipate selling interest to initiate a new bearish wave structure downward. The key level to watch is 110.48. Happy trading!
