Trend Lines

TSLA: Don't Sleep on the PullbackTesla’s bullish momentum is still in control – the weekly chart shows we’re still in an uptrend, and the trend is still our best friend. After a strong bounce from support a couple weeks ago, price is now rejecting off a weak resistance zone. Ideally, this pulls it back into my entry zone to retest the bottom or the 50% mark of the current swing. I’m using trend lines for guidance and expecting the next swing to push up into that confluence area. My golden zone is set between $367–$390, with partial profits be taken at $367 (top of the channel) and the rest near $390, where we meet the trend line. Stop loss is placed at $241, just below the level where momentum would likely shift.

Wayfair | W | Long at $34.62Wayfair $NYSE:W. Recession fears are valid. But long-term, once this company becomes truly profitable, this will be a multi-bagger. I won't go on much about the fundamentals because there are too many economic unknowns ahead, but from a technical analysis perspective, the historical simple moving average lines/area is repeatedly converging with the price and leveling out. Often, this means a change in directional momentum. There are no more open price gaps below the current price on the daily chart. Thus, at $34.62, NYSE:W is in a personal buy zone. Note: The price entering the teens in the near-term is a possibility. Targets: $40.00 $50.00

GBPUSD 1H OutlookGBPUSD 1H Chart: Technical Analysis of Bearish Channel and Key Support Bearish Channel and Price Structure: The chart illustrates an initial bullish move followed by the formation of a descending red channel, suggesting a shift in short-term momentum to bearish. Price recently broke down from an earlier ascending structure, confirming a potential change in trend dynamics. The current price action shows a retracement back towards the upper boundary of this bearish channel and previous resistance levels. Resistance Zone Confluence: The red-shaded area at the top represents a significant supply zone, indicating an area where sellers have previously dominated. This zone also converges with the upper boundary of the newly formed descending red channel, creating a strong confluence of resistance where selling pressure is anticipated to emerge. Fibonacci Retracement Levels: A Fibonacci retracement tool has been applied from the recent high (1.3624) to the recent low. The key retracement levels of 0.5 (1.3518), 0.618 (1.3543), and 0.71 (1.3563) fall within or immediately below the identified red resistance channel. These levels are often watched by traders as potential turning points or areas of re-accumulation/distribution. Key Support Area & Target Zone: Below the current price, a wide green-shaded "Key Support Area" is identified, stretching from approximately 1.3440 down towards 1.3360. This zone likely represents a significant demand area where buyers are expected to re-enter the market, potentially serving as a target for a continued bearish move or a strong bounce point.

FANG: Bearish Trendline Rejection - Potential Short SetupAnalysis: On the daily timeframe, FANG is clearly entrenched in a significant downtrend, characterized by a series of lower highs and lower lows. The current price action suggests a potential continuation of this bearish trajectory, as the stock is interacting with a critical resistance confluence. 1. Dominant Descending Trendline (Dynamic Resistance): The Downward trendline has consistently acted as dynamic resistance, successfully capping price rallies multiple times (as indicated by the red circles). Each touch has been met with renewed selling pressure, confirming its validity as a significant bearish barrier. 2. Current Price Action at Trendline: FANG is currently testing this critical descending trendline for what appears to be the fifth time. The price has pushed up into this resistance, and the recent candles suggest a struggle to break above it, hinting at a potential rejection. This interaction at such a well-established trendline is a high-probability setup for trend continuation. 3. Key Horizontal Levels: Key Resistance Level $175 to $180: While not immediately in play, this overhead resistance zone further reinforces the broader bearish structure. A move towards this level would still face significant selling pressure from the trendline. Key Support Level $135 to $140: This horizontal zone previously provided support and represents a logical downside target for the current bearish leg. 4. Potential Short Setup: Based on the current rejection from the descending trendline, a short-selling opportunity appears to be unfolding: * Entry: A clear rejection and a confirmed bearish candle from the trendline (around the current price of 150.50) would offer a suitable entry. * Stop Loss: A tight stop-loss can be placed just above the recent swing high and the trendline, indicated by the tool at $158.63. This provides a defined risk and protects against a false breakout. * Target: The primary downside target is the Key Support Level $135 to 140. Invalidation & Risk Management: The bearish thesis would be invalidated if FANG decisively breaks above the descending trendline and sustains a daily close above the $160 level with strong volume. Such a move would suggest a potential shift in the trend and would warrant re-evaluation of the bearish outlook. Traders should always adhere to their risk management plan. Conclusion: Given the established downtrend and the current rejection from a highly validated descending trendline, FANG appears poised for a continuation of its bearish momentum. The setup offers a clear entry, stop, and target, aligning with the dominant market structure.

Thoughts before the Golden Decision 💡Message Strategy Gold prices continued to fluctuate at high levels this week, lacking a clear direction. The Federal Reserve is about to announce its June interest rate decision. Although the market generally expects that the interest rate will remain unchanged this time, the key focus lies in the update of the dot plot and Powell's wording in the press conference. The market is currently betting that a rate cut cycle may begin in September, mainly based on a series of weak US economic data released recently. US retail sales fell 0.9% month-on-month in May, significantly lower than the market's expectation of -0.7%, while industrial output also unexpectedly shrank by 0.2%, indicating that the US economic momentum has slowed down. At the same time, the US CPI data in May cooled down across the board, with both the annual rate and the core annual rate lower than expected, which further strengthened the market's expectations for a rate cut in September. Against this background, the US dollar fell from its high on Tuesday, boosting the short-term decline in gold prices. In terms of geopolitical situation, according to Reuters, the six-day conflict between Israel and Iran showed no signs of cooling down. US President Trump publicly put pressure on Iran and released remarks that he would impose tariffs on the pharmaceutical industry. Coupled with the uncertainty of the trade outlook, the market's risk aversion sentiment has been strengthened, which will help gold maintain a high level. 📊Technical aspects From the daily chart, the gold price has been running between the middle and upper tracks of the Bollinger Bands since late May. The Bollinger Bands have gradually converged, suggesting that volatility has decreased and the market is on the eve of a change. The current gold price is hovering between the middle track of the Bollinger Bands at $3,322.96 and the upper track at $3,446.14, in a typical oscillating pattern. In terms of MACD indicators, the current bar chart is close to the zero axis, and the DIFF line and the DEA line are in a state of convergence, and no effective golden cross or dead cross is formed, reflecting that the current situation is a typical consolidation market. RSI remains near 56, indicating that the market is not obviously overbought or oversold, and the short-term momentum is neutral. Based on the above judgment and analysis, it is believed that gold is currently at a critical node. If it breaks through the 3400-line resistance band and is accompanied by a large volume, it will be expected to challenge the high of $3450. On the contrary, if it falls below the $3360 support, it may trigger a short-term adjustment, with the target pointing to the lower track of the Bollinger band at $3200. At present, the overall adjustment of gold is supported by the expectation of the Fed's interest rate cut, and the bulls are relatively strong. Long positions are deployed before the decision. 💰 Strategy Package Long Position:3380-3385，SL：3370 First target: 3400, second target: 3450

HUM: Multi-Year Support & Trendline ConfluenceAnalysis: On the monthly timeframe, Humana (HUM) presents an intriguing long-term setup. After a significant multi-year bull run, the stock has experienced a substantial correction from its all-time highs. However, it now finds itself at a critical confluence of long-term support levels, suggesting potential for a significant bounce or a reversal of the recent downtrend. 1. Long-Term Bullish Channel: Since the 2008 financial crisis, HUM has been trading within a remarkably well-defined bullish channel (depicted by the two green parallel lines). This channel has guided the price consistently higher for over a decade, with price action respecting both the upper and lower boundaries multiple times. 2. The "200 to 215 Key Level" - A Major Confluence Zone: * Multi-Touch Support: The price has historically found strong buying interest in this zone, notably during the 2020 market correction and now in the present. * Trendline Confluence: Crucially, this horizontal support zone perfectly aligns with the lower boundary of the long-term bullish channel. This dual support from both a horizontal key level and the long-term trendline creates a powerful confluence zone, making it a high-probability area for buyers to step in. Potential Targets (Upside Scenario): • 1st Resistance / Target $300: Should the 200−215 support hold firm, the immediate upside target for HUM is the $300 level. This zone previously acted as a minor pivot point, where price saw both support and resistance. A break above $300 would confirm bullish momentum. • Long-Term Target $380 to $400: Beyond the initial 300 target, the next significant long−term target is the∗∗300target, the next significant long−term target is 380 - $400 range. This area previously served as strong support after the initial peak in late 2021/early 2022 before the major breakdown. Reclaiming this zone would signify a substantial recovery and a potential return to previous highs. • Invalidation & Risk Management: While the setup appears compelling, it is crucial to consider the downside risk. A decisive monthly close below the $200 level would invalidate this bullish thesis. Such a breakdown would suggest a failure of the long-term trend channel and could lead to further downside, potentially towards the 150−175 region. Traders should monitor price action for confirmation of support and manage their risk accordingly. Conclusion: Given the strong historical significance and the powerful confluence of technical indicators at the 200−215 level, Humana (HUM) presents a compelling long-term buy-the-dip opportunity for those looking for a potential reversal and recovery. Patience and confirmation of support at this key level will be paramount.

Zambian Kwacha Technical Outlook - A Wave Analysts PerspectiveUSDZMW seems to have reached what appears to be a major market top after completing a classic 5 wave Elliott impulse cycle on the monthly timeframe. This marks the end of a multi-decade bullish structure and signals the beginning of a corrective phase potentially reshaping Zambia’s FX landscape in the medium term. Key Technical Insights: The final Wave 5 peaked at 28.97, followed by a sharp decline to 23.90 (at the time of this publication). A corrective ABC structure is now likely underway with fibonacci based downside targets around: Target 1: $1 = K22.31 – minor correction (23.6%) Target 2: $1 = K18.30 – medium correction (38.2%) Target 3: $1 = K15.05 – deep retracement (50% of the main wave on monthly TF) While various fundamentals, copper prices, debt restructuring and prevailing fiscal policies play a role, this technical setup suggests a strong medium to long term appreciation of the Kwacha is on the cards. We may be witnessing the early stages of a multiyear FX shift. Disclaimer: This analysis is for informational and educational purposes ONLY and does not constitute financial advice in any way.

Interest rate decision bearish Today, the focus is on the Fed's latest interest rate decision, which will be announced on Wednesday. The market generally expects that it will maintain the policy rate range of 4.25%-4.50%. Trump recently asked the Fed to cut interest rates by one percentage point immediately, but the market reacted cautiously, believing that a sharp rate cut may increase inflation risks, especially in the context of Middle East conflicts pushing up oil prices. Fed Chairman Powell's statement at the press conference will become the focus of market attention. The market expects the Fed to maintain a cautious and patient tone, and the guidance on the interest rate outlook may be vague. Technically, in terms of support, the 10-day moving average and the 20-day moving average form important support near 3464/3463 and 3445 respectively. In terms of resistance, yesterday's high near 3403 constitutes a key resistance above. If gold prices want to reverse the current weak pattern, they need to successfully break through this resistance level to open up upward space. Today's detailed operation strategy Short gold rebounds near 3400, defense 3410, target 3380-3364 Long gold falls back near 3364, defense 3356, target 3380-3400

Wide range fluctuations continue, the latest layout of gold📰 Impact of news: 1. Initial jobless claims data 2. US-Iran conflict continues 3. Pay attention to the Fed's decision 📈 Market analysis: At present, the gold price is testing the 3380 line again, and the strong support below is 3365-3355. As long as it does not fall below this key support, the bulls will remain strong. At the same time, the two key points of 3405 and 3420 above are still short-term resistance. Breaking through may directly test 3450. In the short term, gold fluctuates repeatedly at the 3405-3365 level, temporarily maintaining a high-altitude low-multiple cycle. There is also initial jobless claims data released today. At the same time, the geopolitical situation in the short term is severe, so we need to be cautious. In addition, the New York Stock Exchange will be closed tomorrow. The focus this week is mainly on Friday, especially when it is superimposed with the Fed's interest rate decision, we need to be vigilant about the transmission effect of sudden changes in liquidity on the market. 🏅 Trading strategies: BUY 3380-3365-3355 TP 33395-3400-3405 SELL 3405-3390 TP 3380-3360 If you agree with this view, or have a better idea, please leave a message in the comment area.

Stick to shorting goldGold is currently fluctuating in a narrow range of 3380-3385, and the trend is relatively slow. We also need more patience. In comparison, I think the current short-selling force has a slight upper hand, because gold has shown signs of accelerating decline after a difficult rebound many times, and has fallen below 3380 many times. According to the current gold structure, gold does not have sufficient room for decline, and it is still possible to continue to fall to the 3365-3355 area. It is expected that gold will not fluctuate too much before the Fed's interest rate decision and Powell's monetary policy press conference. For this interest rate decision, I think the possibility of a rate cut is not great, and the current interest rate may still remain unchanged. The reduction in the expectation of a rate cut may stimulate a wave of gold declines in the short term. So in the short term, I still prefer a short trade in gold. Obviously, gold is currently under pressure in the 3395-3405 area, so we can still try to short gold in this area.

Accurate operation, both long and short gains!Gold has experienced a typical volatile market today, first rising to 3400 and then falling back to around 3380 as expected. The short order plan we arranged in advance was successfully closed, and we successfully took this wave of callback profits. What is more worth mentioning is that we also accurately entered the long order in the previous round of retracement and steadily harvested the rebound profits. The rhythm of long and short switching is smooth, the strategy is clear, and the execution is decisive - this is what trading should be like. The market is repetitive, and opportunities are always there. Whether you can put the profit steadily into your pocket depends not on how many times you are right, but on whether you can execute it at the key points. At present, the trend of gold shows that although there is a rebound after each decline, the strength is generally weak and it has never been able to break through the 3405 suppression level. The overall situation is still in a range of fluctuations, and market sentiment is still waiting for further guidance from the Fed. Therefore, short-term operations are still based on key points, and the market rhythm is slow, requiring more patience. In the case of no break at present, continue today's thinking to operate, unless there are sharp fluctuations in the short term or sudden news or geopolitical situations, then make adjustments. Gold operation suggestions: 1. Gold short orders: short near 3397-3405, target 3385-3375. 2. Gold long orders: long near 3375-3370, 3365-3360 can cover positions, target 3380-3390-3400. If you still lack direction in gold trading, you might as well try to follow my pace. The strategy is open and transparent, and the execution logic is clear and definite, which may bring new breakthroughs to your trading. The real value does not rely on verbal promises, but is verified by the market and time.

USDJPY – Fed Meeting Ahead With Range Highs In FocusYesterday’s Bank of Japan meeting saw the central bank act as expected. They kept interest rates unchanged and slowed the pace at which they will decrease monthly JGB purchases by half to help ensure market stability. This eventually assisted USDJPY to push higher and touch a peak early this morning at 145.44, matching a monthly high set on June 11th (145.46). So far, this move to June range highs has been met with fresh selling, but there is still a lot for FX traders to consider moving into the Friday close, including an escalating conflict in the Middle East that has seen Israel and Iran exchange fire for six days in a row, and more importantly for wider financial markets, has drawn the full attention of President Trump and his national security team. How this situation evolves across the remainder of this week could influence the direction of USDJPY. Also important could be the outcome later this evening of the Federal Reserve (Fed) Interest Rate Decision (1900 BST) and Press Conference (1930 BST). No change to interest rates is expected as policymakers, including Chairman Powell have been clear that they are currently in wait and see mode before making their next move, however their updated projections for US inflation, growth, and rate cuts may provide some extra volatility for USDJPY prices if these deviate from market expectations. We shouldn’t forget it is also a holiday in the US tomorrow so liquidity could be reduced, so assessing the technical outlook, including relevant support and resistance levels may be useful. Technical Update: Balanced Range Extends into Fed Meeting Little has changed in USDJPY price activity from a technical perspective following Tuesday’s Bank of Japan meeting, and the focus now shifts to Wednesday’s Fed meeting in the US as the next potential sentiment driver for price. As the chart above shows, the latest USDJPY activity has been held within a sideways range marked by potential support at 142.11, the May 27th session low, and potential resistance at 146.29, the May 29th session high. This latest price activity may be an indication of trader uncertainty as to the direction of the next move and possibly the need for prices to ‘breakout’ and establish where the next directional risks might lay. Of course, nothing is guaranteed and a closing break above resistance or below support might not see a more sustained phase of price movement, however being prepared is important. Let’s consider the potential levels traders might find useful to watch if a breakout from the current sideways range is seen. Potential Resistance Levels: Successful closing breaks above 146.29 might be viewed by some as opening scope to higher levels and may possibly lead to a more sustained phase of price strength. It’s at this time that the focus for traders may shift to the next potential resistance which could be at 148.65, the May 12th session high, even 151.21, the March 28th peak. Potential Support Levels: Equally possible within the current more balanced sideways price activity, is that a closing break under support provided by the May 27th low at 142.11 might well develop and be viewed as a potential negative breakout from the current sideways price range. If closes below support at 142.11 are seen over the coming sessions, it might reflect for moves to even lower levels in price, with traders potentially shifting their focus to the April 22nd low trade at 139.89 as the possible next support.

Gold Supported by Central Bank Demand Despite Global UncertaintyGold Prices Likely Supported by Central Bank Demand Gold prices are expected to find continued support from strong central bank buying. Since the start of the Ukraine war, average annual central bank gold purchases have doubled from 500 to 1,000 tons. The primary drivers remain gold’s role as a crisis hedge, portfolio diversifier, and store of value. While de-dollarization is not an explicit motivation, many central banks anticipate a gradual decline in the U.S. dollar’s share of global reserves. Technical Outlook: Gold remains in bullish territory as long as it trades above 3365. This supports a move toward 3403, and if the price stabilizes above that level, the uptrend may extend toward 3430 and 3448. A break below 3364 would invalidate the bullish structure and shift momentum downward, with potential targets at 3347 and 3322. Key Levels: • Resistance: 3403 / 3430 / 3448 • Support: 3365 / 3347 / 3322

GOLD → Consolidation. Awaiting the FOMC meetingFX:XAUUSD is consolidating in the range of 3403 - 3373. The problem is that there is news ahead. FOMC and interest rate meeting. The market may react in any unpredictable way... On Wednesday, the price of gold retreated from $3,400 as sentiment stabilized and investors focused on the upcoming Fed decision. Tensions in the Middle East remain high, but there is less panic in the markets. The Fed is expected to leave rates unchanged. The focus is on forecasts for rates, growth, and inflation. Dovish signals could support gold and weaken the dollar. If the Fed is more cautious due to oil and the conflict in the Middle East, the dollar could rise and gold could fall. Technical nuances are irrelevant in this case, as price behavior depends on the market's interpretation of fundamental factors. Resistance levels: 3403, 3420 Support levels: 3373, 3339 BUT! Technically, I would say that there is pressure from the bears. The price is compressing towards the support level of 3373. The market remains unbalanced in favor of buyers, and it is logical that market makers will be interested in testing the trend support zone or the 3339 level (due to the liquidity pool) before continuing to rise (gold may continue to rise both if rates are lowered and if they remain at the same level. However, the tone of the Fed will play a major role here) Best regards, R. Linda!

During the day, we will continue to pay attention to the strong support of 3365-3360 below. This area is the key defensive position we emphasized yesterday. As long as this area is not broken, the bulls still have a chance to make a comeback. The long orders we arranged today at 3370-3375 have all been taken profit near 3387, and the short-term is perfectly realized! At present, 3400 above is the primary pressure position. We have also given a short order plan. We continue to hold it at present, and the target is to take profit when it falls back to 3380-3375. The overall idea is to maintain the main long and auxiliary short rhythm. In terms of operation, the interval thinking is prioritized, and wait for the key points to be confirmed before taking action. If it breaks through, change the idea in time. Operation suggestion: Gold falls back to 3375-3370 and goes long with a light position, and further falls back to 3365-3360 to cover the position. The target is 3380-3390-3400. If you still lack direction in gold trading, you might as well try to follow my pace. The strategy is open and transparent, and the execution logic is clear and definite, which may bring new breakthroughs to your trading. The real value does not rely on verbal promises, but is verified by the market and time.
