XRP - Decision Point at Fair Value Gap (FVG)This 1-hour XRP/USDT chart shows price consolidating inside a descending channel, approaching a critical Fair Value Gap (FVG) zone.
Key Observations:
🔹 FVG Support: Price is testing an area of inefficiency, which could act as a turning point.
🔹 Two Possible Scenarios:
- Bullish Case: If price holds the FVG and breaks upward, a push toward channel resistance is likely.
- Bearish Case: Failure to hold the FVG could result in a drop toward the lower channel boundary.
Which way will XRP move next? 🚀📉 Let’s discuss!
Trend Analysis
Bitcoin Faces a "Resistance Lines WALL" – Breakout or Breakdown?Bitcoin ( BINANCE:BTCUSDT ) started to rise as I expected in my previous post and hit all targets . Will Bitcoin continue the upward trend of the past two days!?
Please stay with me.
First of all, I have to say that Bitcoin is facing a Wall of Resistance lines ( intersection of at least 4 Resistance lines ). Do you think Bitcoin can easily break these resistance lines with a single attack?
Bitcoin is trading near the Resistance zone($87,520_$85,840) , Potential Reversal Zone(PRZ) , and a Series of Resistance lines .
In terms of the Elliott Wave theory , Bitcoin appears to have completed Corrective waves . The corrective wave structure in the Ascending Channel is a Double Three Correction(WXY) .
I expect Bitcoin to drop to $85,000 in the first step in the coming hours. The Second target is $84,333 , and if the Support zone($84,430_$83,170) is broken, we should wait for the CME Gap($80,760_$80,380) to fill.
Do you think Bitcoin can break the wall of the Resistance lines, or will it start declining again?
Note: Donald Trump's speeches over the next hours could also affect the market, so trade a little more cautiously during this hour.
Trump’s Speech & Potential Tariffs
In today’s speech, Trump is expected to discuss new tariffs on imports from China, Mexico, and Canada, possibly ranging from 20-25%. If confirmed, this could impact global markets, strengthen the USD, and increase economic uncertainty.
Note: If Bitcoin touches $89,000, we should most likely expect more pumping.

THE KOG REPORT - UpdateEnd of day update from us here at KOG:
What a week on the markets! Gold playing ball giving us the move we wanted for the tariff news, then the short presented itself, we issued KOG's bias of the day and the bearish targets, and wow, all completed!
In Camelot we gave the idea yesterday and planned where we wanted to go up to for the longs, where we wanted to short from and then where we wanted to buy from again. Not to the pip how we like it, but it worked extremely well!
So what now?
We have NFP looming, liquidity has been swept and we're back up above 3100. Due to NFP, we can expect price to want to attempt to stay close to the MA's on the hourly so a break of 3110 should take us up into the 3125-35 as long as the 3095 level holds up price!
From Camelot this morning:
Support: 3124 / 3120 / 3116 / 3110 / 3106 / 3098 / 3095
Resistance: 3130 / 3135 / 3137 / 3145 / 3147 / 3150 / 3155
Price: 3129
KOG’s Bias of the day:
Bearish below 3134 with targets below 3110✅ and 3103✅
Bullish on break of 3134 with target above 3145 and 3150
RED BOXES:
Break above 3135 for 3140, 3145, 3155 and 3161 in extension of the move
Break below 3120 for 3110✅, 3106✅, 3097✅ and 3085✅ in extension of the move
Summary:
Due to NFP tomorrow we’re likely to continue with this ranging and choppy price action with resistance above at key level 3540 now which will need to break to go higher. Support 3125 should be tested again, with that 3110 level again the key level! This time however, if tested we may break below, so I would say I’m playing caution on longs at the moment.
As always, trade safe.

GBPUSD Approaching Key Resistance - Will Sellers Step In?OANDA:GBPUSD is approaching a key resistance level, marked by significant selling pressure. This area has historically acted as a key supply zone, increasing the likelihood of a bearish reaction if sellers step in again.
The current market structure suggests that if the price confirms a rejection from this resistance level, there is a high probability of a downward move. I anticipate that if rejection occurs, the market may head lower toward the 1.30950 level, which serves as a logical target within the current market structure. However, a break above this resistance would invalidate the bearish bias and could lead to further upside.
This setup reflects the potential for a retracement after an impulsive move, supported by the confluence of previous price behavior and the current structure. If you agree with this analysis or have additional insights, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!
Bitcoin may continue grow inside upward channel to seller zoneHello traders, I want share with you my opinion about Bitcoin. Looking at the chart, we can observe how Bitcoin corrected down to the support level, which also aligned with the buyer zone. From there, the price started to rise. It didn’t take long for BTC to reach the resistance level, which matched up with the seller zone. After breaking through that level, the price began consolidating within a range. Throughout this range, Bitcoin tested the upper boundary several times, but on the last attempt, it reversed and began to decline. The drop continued until it broke through the 86500 level, effectively exiting the range and pushing lower toward the next support. Once the price reached that area, it broke below the level and even dipped under the buyer zone, but quickly reversed and started climbing within an ascending channel. Inside this channel, BTC pushed up to the 83500 level, broke through it again, and maintained bullish momentum. At the moment, Bitcoin is trading within the channel, and I anticipate a potential correction back to the lower boundary of the channel, followed by continued growth toward the seller zone and a break of the resistance. For this scenario, my target is set at 87000 points. Please share this idea with your friends and click Boost 🚀

LTO - Massive Support => Bullish Potential!Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst.
⚔️ LTO is retesting a massive zone , which marks the intersection of two key rejection points:
1️⃣ The $0.02 support level and psychological round number
2️⃣ The lower red trendline, acting as an oversold area
📚 According to my trading style:
As #LTO hovers around the blue circle zone, I’ll be watching for bullish reversal setups (such as a double bottom pattern, trendline break, and so on).
🏹 Moreover, from a medium-term perspective:
For the bulls to shift momentum in their favor, a break above both the upper red trendline and the blue structure is required.
📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.
Good luck!
All Strategies Are Good; If Managed Properly!

#GBPJPY: +250 Pips From Last Idea Expecting A Strong Bulls! The GBPJPY currency pair experienced a decline to the 190 area, which represents a discounted price range. Subsequently, the price reversed positively by approximately 250 pips. Our market analysis remains unchanged, and we anticipate that the price will continue to exert dominance.
It is possible that the price may experience a correction or a downward movement, as we anticipate the release of strong economic data this week. This data is likely to influence the future trajectory of the currency pair.
We encourage you to like and comment for further insights. Your support has been invaluable throughout our journey, and we sincerely hope that you achieve success in your own market endeavours.

Bitcoin's Buy Zone Revealed: The R/Evolution Of FinanceFor this bull-market, the buy-zone can extend as high as $100,000. This is because Bitcoin is set to grow above $160,000 to reach $180,000 and even up to $200,000 in the latter part of 2025. So even $100,000 can be a good entry for total profits of 100% when we reach 200K... If it goes higher, better!
Let's try again.
How are you feeling today?
A new day, a new chart; a great market.
While Bitcoin is solid right now, price-wise, it is still trading within our buy-zone.
Below $90,000 Bitcoin is an awesome buy. Have people been telling you this lately?
Yes? No!
No??? I am shocked. This is pure evil.
Bitcoin is now a great opportunity, a great buy when you consider that it will be trading 50% higher in a matter of months. Even better when you consider that everything that is Crypto related is set to grow.
Well, it is no problem, I am here to show my support.
Bitcoin is set to rise and it will rise really strong.
The last chance to buy at low prices is present and available now.
Bitcoin is an awesome buy below $90K.
Anything below 90,000 is great.
Below 80,000 is awesome but a rare opportunity and likely gone. This kind of price was only available for a few hours in 2025. Bitcoin has never closed below 80K weekly in its history. Were you aware of this fact?
The saying normally goes, "Sell in May and go away."
In 2025, this won't be the case.
The saying now is, "Buy everything now and become rich."
"Buy everything and hold strong."
Cryptocurrency is set to rise. Bitcoin is still trading at a nice price within our long-term accumulation-entry (buy) zone. The time is now.
Regardless of your strategy, your system, your method or your plan; accumulation is great.
You can accumulate now. If prices drop, buy more. If prices rise, buy more. When the rise becomes strong, hold. When the top is in or close, start to take profits because after a strong bullish phase comes a correction. You don't want to be caught holding during the correction. You can buy when prices are low. Hold as the market grows. Sell when the market peaks. If you sell when the market peaks, you can buy back-in when the next low is in. There is plenty of time to decide and take action. There is no way to miss a good entry.
Consider the chart and market now. Bitcoin has been sideways for months. Many months we have time to plan and buy. It will be the same after the end of the bullish cycle, so it will be wise to take profits when prices are up.
Buy and hold now. Sell later when everything grows.
I will be here to alert you of great timing to sell at the top.
Right now we are at the bottom. Nothing more needs to be said.
Bitcoin is trading within our long-term buy-zone.
You know what to do.
Take action.
Thanks a lot for your continued support.
Cryptocurrency was invented to usher a financial revolution. A revolution that is beneficial for all those involved. Everybody can win with Crypto, even the banks, if they adapt to the evolution of finance.
Imagine going against email and the Internet because it is new and you are the owner of the mailbox.
In retrospect, we know this to be simply unreasonable, we can only adapt and change because reality is always changing, no matter what our beliefs are or preferences. Today it is the same.
We have new money and humanity will never look back again.
We are in the early days of the Internet. The early days of Crypto. Those taking action now, will be looking like geniuses 10-20 years ahead. It is not too late. It is pretty early. Really early. Crypto is less than 20 years old. There are Bitcoins to be mined until 2140.
Join the revolution now, become the evolution of finance you yourself and get rich in the process.
Thank you for reading.
Namaste.

GOLD at The Edge of The CliffGOLD at The Edge of The Cliff
Gold is entering a bearish phase, with the Russian central bank leading the sell-off. I believe other central banks and hedge funds may follow, looking to take profits while prices remain high.
If more institutions join the selling trend, the drop could accelerate, potentially triggering a sharp decline in gold’s value.

#EURUSD: Two Opportunities In One Chart, What do you see? Price has shown bullish behaviour exhaustion, and it's at a point where we see a total meltdown in prices. This is an excellent scenario for traders who trade on what the chart shows us rather than selling or buying only. We can utilise both these entries when prices do show a strong indication at either of our levels.

Support Zones:
- FVG (Fair Value Gap) acting as support
- Strong base at 3,108.56 (11:35 candle)
- Major psychological level at 3,100.00
Market Context:
The chart shows liquidity pools with clear buy/sell labels, indicating institutional activity. The price is respecting Fibonacci levels, suggesting a structured uptrend.
Final Thoughts:
Gold remains in a strong uptrend, with clear support levels and Fibonacci confluences providing high-probability trade setups. The 3,100 level is critical—holding above it keeps the bullish bias intact.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 4-3 : GAP Breakaway PatternFirst off, thank you for all the great comments and accolades related to my calling this breakdown (nearly 60+ days ago).
Did I get lucky having these new tariffs announced, causing the markets to break downward? Probably.
Did my research suggest the markets were going to break downward anyway? YES.
Did my research predict these tariffs? NO.
My research is specifically price-based. You'll notice I don't use many indicators, other than my proprietary price pressure and momentum indicators.
The purpose of what I'm trying to teach all of you is that price is the ultimate indicator. You can use other indicators if you find them helpful. But, you should focus on the price chart and try to learn as much as you can from the price chart (without any indicators).
Why, because I believe price tells us everything we need to know and we can react to price more efficiently than getting confused by various technical indicators.
At least, that is what I've found to be true.
Today's pattern suggests more selling is likely. After the markets open, I suggest there will be a bunch of longs that will quickly be exited and shorts that will be exited (pulling profits). Thus, I believe the first 30-60 minutes of trading could be extremely volatile.
My extended research suggests the markets will continue to try to move downward (over the next 60+ days) attempting to find the Ultimate Low. But, at this point, profits are profits and we all need to BOOK THEM if we have them.
We can always reposition for the next breakdown trade when the timing is right.
Gold and Silver are moving into a PANIC selling phase. This should be expected after the big tariff news. Metals will recover over the next 3-5+ days. Get ready.
BTCUSD is really not moving on this news. Kinda odd. Where is BTCUSD as a hedge or alternate store of value? I don't see it happening in price.
What I do see is that BTCUSD is somewhat isolated from this tariff news and somewhat isolated from the global economy. It's almost as if BTCUSD exists on another planet - away from global economic factors.
Still, I believe BTCUSD will continue to consolidate, attempting to break downward over the next 30+ days.
Remember, trading is about BOOKING PROFITS and moving onto the next trade. That is what we all need to focus on today.
Get Some.

Gold’s Rally Pauses – Correction Incoming!!!Gold ( OANDA:XAUUSD ) started to correct at the Potential Reversal Zone(PRZ) and near the upper line of the Ascending Channel . The question is, will we have a minor correction or a major correction(main)?
Gold is moving near Resistance lines and Fibonacci levels and was able to breaks the Uptrend lines . I view the upward movement of the last few hours as an upward correction , which will likely cause gold to fall again.
In terms of Elliott waves , it looks like Gold has completed a major wave 5 and I expect Gold to start a major corrective wave . In Gold's history , major impulse waves have completed precisely near the upper lines of ascending channels .
I expect Gold to decline at least to the Support zone($3,100-$3,085) , if gold can break the lower line of the ascending channel, we can be more confident that we are in the main corrective waves .
Do you think Gold can create a new All-Time High(ATH) again?
Note: If Gold goes above $3,130, we can expect more pumps and a new All-Time High(ATH).

HelenP. I Bitcoin can rebound up from support zone to trend lineHi folks today I'm prepared for you Bitcoin analytics. Some time ago, BTC showed a strong downward move that brought the price into the support zone between 82200 and 80900 points. This area acted as a major demand zone, and after several retests, the price formed a solid base. From this support, BTC made a sharp bullish impulse, breaking through local resistance and heading toward the descending trend line. Eventually, the price reached the key resistance zone and tested the trend line, but failed to break through it. After that, BTC started to decline again and returned to the support zone around the 82200 level, where it is currently consolidating. At the moment, the price is trading near the lower boundary of the support zone. The strong reaction from this zone in the past and the overall price structure suggest that bulls are still active. Given the previous impulse move, the bounce from the support, and the clear target structure, I expect BTCUSDT to rise from the current level toward my goal at 87500 points.

EOS Higher Low: Long Analysis With Positive Crypto-Market TalkEOS is now trading three consecutive weeks green.
Higher low after long-term bottom. Double-bottom in 2024.
Good afternoon my fellow trader.
You are the essence of the Cryptocurrency market.
The Cryptocurrency market is alive today and it exists only because of you.
Without you and me, there would be no Cryptocurrencies.
Only your support makes it possible for this innovation to continue to expand, improve and grow.
It is because of your attention and commitment that Crypto will continue to shine; Bitcoin is going up.
We are not only Crypto but we are also the financial markets and all markets.
We are reality, we are life and we are all one and the same.
Let's do this together. We can improve our lives, our environment and achieve success.
Together we can win.
Now, let's trade!

EOSUSDT is bullish confirmed.
One being bullish confirms the rest of the market being bullish or moving in this direction. This is only a valid statement because we know the market and how it works. We know EOS is one of the solid projects and we know its patterns and cycles. It tends to move with the rest and this time around it will be strong.
Let's look closer. This week is new but it is green. New and green is good; 100% positive.
The week that produced the higher low, 10-March 2025, is a classic Doji (reversal signal). This reversal is confirmed with the action we are seeing now.
Three weeks green after a long-term higher low means that we are now, already, within the bull-market period. This is the start of long-term growth. Prices are still low. Very low.
EOS will grow really wild. It will go really high. Prices will end up being really strong in 2025. 14X higher or more. You can always use the 'Filter ideas' feature in my profile to find other publications for this and other pairs with the 2025 All-Time High. Type EOSUSDT after tapping on my username and you will see what I mean. This will produce a list of results.
EOSUSDT has been sideways since August 2023. Or June 2023 based on a price average in-between the high and low of the sideways period between that date and present day. We are talking about some 666 days. This is really good. This is a very strong consolidation phase. This confirms and supports what is coming next.
Overall, marketwide. Real Altcoins market. Everything is looking good. The bottom is in and has been in for a long while now and we are getting ready for growth. We are still within the sideways period, but this phase won't be valid and active for long. Notice how we have three green weeks on EOSUSDT. The market will not move straight up but this is the beginning of a new bullish wave.
It tends to fluctuate. This is normal and expected. We have no complaints.
All is good that ends well. All is perfect when the market is set to grow.
Great entry timing is possible now, all across. Buy and hold.
Remember, you can leave a comment with your request for any Altcoins you want me to look at. I will consider it and publish based on the chart and overall market conditions.
Thanks a lot for your continued support.
We are doing good but things will get better.
This is only the start. Wake up! It is not too late.
The 2025 bull-market is on now.
Thank you for reading.
Namaste.
Euro will rise a little more and then make correction to 1.0950Hello traders, I want share with you my opinion about Euro. Earlier, the price started to grow from the lower region near 1.0730, where it bounced off the buyer zone between 1.0690–1.0730 points and entered a strong upward movement. This impulse helped Euro break through previous resistances and approach the upper boundary of the support area, which lies between 1.0950–1.0990 points. After reaching a local high, the price formed a pennant pattern, consolidating within narrowing trend lines while respecting both the support and resistance structure. During this phase, the pair remained stable, building pressure before making the next move. Recently, EUR made a strong breakout to the upside, exiting the pennant and continuing its bullish rally. The price surged rapidly and now trades above the current support level at 1.0950, reaching fresh highs in this local trend. I expect the price to reverse soon from the current overbought region and begin a decline toward the support area, which now acts as a potential pullback zone. My target for this corrective movement is the 1.0950 level, which aligns perfectly with the current support level and the upper boundary of the support zone.

Stock Market Dives into Correction? It Happens—Here's What to DoYou wake up, check your portfolio, and see a sea of red. The market’s down, your stocks are taking a nosedive, and CNBC is running apocalyptic headlines about an impending crash. Sounds familiar?
It’s maybe because we’re in (or super close to) a correction right now — the S&P 500 SP:SPX was down 10% from its record high two weeks ago and a lot of people are unsure what to do.
The truth of the matter is, stock market corrections are routine—not as often as the meeting that should’ve been an email, but also not as rare as a winning trade in the Japanese yen ( widow maker is real, yo ).
And, most importantly, they’re usually not as catastrophic as they feel in the moment.
So, before you hit the panic button (or worse, start revenge trading to “win it all back”), let’s talk about what’s shaking the market right now and how to navigate corrections like a pro.
🤔 First Things First: What’s a Correction?
A stock market correction is a drop of 10% or more from a recent high. It’s not a crash, it’s not the end of capitalism, and it’s definitely not a sign that you should liquidate your entire portfolio and move to a remote cabin in the woods.
Corrections happen regularly, typically once every year or two. They’re a natural part of market cycles, shaking out excessive speculation and resetting valuations to more reasonable levels.
For the record, a drop of 20% is considered a bear market.
🤝 Why the Market’s Getting Jittery
Markets don’t move in straight lines, and sometimes they hit turbulence. Lately, two big themes have been dominating headlines:
Trump’s Hard-Line Tariffs Hit Hard (And Markets Are Nervous About It)
If there’s anything Trump knows how to do is say things online or on-site and move markets. And his hostile and straight up combatant approach to handling international relations has sent traders scrambling to offload risk.
With hiked tariffs on China, Europe, and Mexico and Canada, businesses are bracing for severe supply chain disruptions, higher costs, and tighter margins. When tariffs go up, corporate earnings tend to go down—and the market doesn’t like that math.
Inflation Just Won’t Quit
The Federal Reserve spent most of the last two years trying to tame inflation, and just when it seemed like things were cooling off, it’s creeping back up. The latest readout of the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) report showed prices ticked up more than expected at 2.8% in February.
Higher inflation means the Fed might keep interest rates elevated for longer than expected, making borrowing more expensive and slowing down growth. Every new inflation release has investors guessing: Will the Fed cut rates, hold steady, or—worst case—hike again?
Between trade wars and stubborn inflation, uncertainty is running high, and that dynamics breeds volatility. But a correction doesn’t mean the market is broken—it just means sentiment has shifted.
⚠️ How NOT to React (aka: Rookie Mistakes to Avoid)
When corrections hit, bad decision-making is at an all-time high. Here’s what not to do:
Panic selling – Selling at the bottom is a classic rookie move. If you weren’t planning to sell at the highs, why dump everything when it’s down?
Trying to time the exact bottom – Good luck. Nobody, not even Warren Buffett, can catch the bottom (not that he’s trying). If you’re waiting for the “perfect” dip, you’ll likely miss the rebound.
Going all-in on one asset – Thinking of putting everything into one stock or crypto because it’s “cheap” now? Please don’t. Diversification exists for a reason .
Getting glued to financial news – Watching every market update during a correction is like doom-scrolling Google after a mild headache—you’ll only freak yourself out more.
Now that we’ve covered what not to do, let’s focus on the smart plays.
💪 So, What Should You Do?
If you want to come out of a correction with your sanity (and portfolio) intact, here’s your game plan:
1️⃣ Zoom Out—Corrections Are Temporary
The market moves in cycles, and corrections are just part of the game. Historically, corrections last a few months, while bull markets last years. If you’re investing for the long term, a correction is a blip on the chart, not an extinction event.
2️⃣ Review Your Portfolio Like a Hedge Fund Manager
Corrections are a great excuse to audit your holdings. Ask yourself:
Is this stock/ETF/index still worth holding?
Has anything fundamentally changed, or is this just temporary market noise?
Do I have too much exposure to one sector?
Think of it as spring cleaning for your investments. It's also an opportunity to make some good use of the handy Stock Screener or Stock Heatmap to spot the best (and worst) performers. If something was a FOMO buy and doesn’t belong in your portfolio, consider trimming it.
3️⃣ Buy Selectively, Not Blindly
Corrections create opportunities, but that doesn’t mean you should just throw money at every stock that’s down. Some companies deserve their declines ( looking at you, Nikola )—others are just collateral damage in a broader selloff.
Look for quality companies with strong earnings, manageable debt, and real growth potential. If they were solid before the correction, they’ll likely recover faster than the overhyped names.
Example: Remember when Amazon stock NASDAQ:AMZN tanked 90% in 2000, the dot-com bubble? No, because you were too busy being 2 years old instead of loading up on Jeff Bezos’s dream. And look where the guy’s now.
4️⃣ Do Some Good Old DCA
Instead of dumping all your cash into the market at once, use dollar-cost averaging (DCA). Buying in small increments at regular intervals helps you avoid the stress of trying to time the bottom. If prices drop further, you can buy more at an even better price.
5️⃣ Keep Emotions in Check
Corrections test your patience and discipline. The best investors don’t let fear dictate their strategy. If you’re getting emotional about your trades, step away from the screen and take a breath. The market will be there when you come back.
👍 The Market Always Bounces Back—Eventually
Every correction feels like the worst one while it’s happening. But let’s look at history:
The S&P 500 has faced 30+ corrections since 1950. It survived them all.
The average correction lasts four months before a recovery begins.
After a correction, markets typically rally higher within a year.
Unless you believe the global economy is permanently broken (hint: not yet, at least), every major downturn has eventually turned into a new bull run.
🦸♂ Final Thought: Be the Hero, Not the Victim
Market corrections separate the professionals from the wannabes. The people who panic and sell at the bottom? They usually regret it. The ones who keep a level head, stick to their strategy, and take advantage of good opportunities? They come out stronger.
And finally, if you need to take away one thing it’s this: Corrections aren’t the enemy. They’re the price of admission for long-term gains.

Four months ago Dogecoin perfectly retested the previous all time high and is now creating the anticipated bearish rejection. However during every bullish cycle we saw a correction of at least -60%, which was followed by a parabolic rally, so there is no reason to be worried at all.
Levels to watch: $0.2, $0.5
Keep your long term vision!
