8.3.2024 Platinum Weekend Pre Market AnalysisIt's the weekend. I like to go out to my larger charts and clean off the entire chart and start analyzing the instrument for next weeks trading.
We know that price is going to move up or down from where it currently is located, so we just need to make up a game plan to trade it..
Looking out at the 4 hour, 1 hour, and 15 minute charts for our trend and target analysis. Then dialing it down to the 3 minute or 15 minute to look for an entry!
Uptrend
Market is on its Upper Band - Its 2nd Camel HumpAll the major markets are testing their upper band channels since their first major hump in the 90s.
The Russell 2000 has reached its second hump and is on the way down. Though the Russell 2000 is the least known among the four indices, it serves as a leading indicator for the other three.
Why?
The Russell 2000 comprises 2000 mid-sized listed companies, which I believe employ the largest workforce in the United States. This means their employees are also the mass consumers who use or buy products and services listed on the Nasdaq, S&P, and Dow Jones. When the Russell 2000 is not doing well, mass consumers tend to spend less, and the rest of the indices subsequently follow.

XAU/USD | GOLDSPOT | New perspective | follow-up detailsGold closed last week deeply entrenched in negative territory, facing strong headwinds from a resilient US Dollar (USD) which hindered XAU/USD from capitalizing on declining bond yields. The Federal Reserve's March meeting highlighted the urgency for policymakers to consider interest rate reductions, despite recent inflation reports suggesting a potential reacceleration. This initially propelled XAU/USD to reach new all-time highs, albeit briefly.
Presently, the US economy exhibits signs of resilience, with the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) projecting a growth rate of 2.1% for 2024, up from the previous estimate of 1.4%, while maintaining the Unemployment Rate at 4%. Attention now turns to inflation metrics, particularly the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, favored by the Fed, which is anticipated to reach 2.4%, with core PCE projected at 2.6%, an increase from 2.4%.
As we prepare for the upcoming week, this video serves as a guide to navigating the current market dynamics, offering insights into potential strategies amid these shifting economic conditions.
XAUUSD Technical Overview:
In this video, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the XAUUSD chart, utilizing both technical and fundamental perspectives. Our examination included an in-depth study of key levels, historical price movements, market behaviours, and the interplay between buyers and sellers, aiming to unveil potential trading opportunities.
Our focal point for the week is the $2,145 zone, endowed with historical significance, rendering it a pivotal level. The sustainability of bullish momentum above this zone could pave the way for continued buying pressure, potentially propelling prices to new highs. Conversely, the appearance of a reversal pattern or a breach below the $2,145 level, coupled with persistent selling pressure, might signal a resurgence of bearish sentiment.

XAU/USD | GOLDSPOT | New perspective | follow-up detailsGold takes a step back in the wake of sizzling US inflation data and the Federal Reserve's cautious approach towards policy easing. The anticipation of the US Federal Reserve's easing cycle gets a reality check as robust US economic data pushes back the much-awaited commencement. Fed Chair Jerome Powell's call for patience aligns with the hotter-than-expected inflation numbers, reinforcing the need to adhere to the current monetary policy stance until inflation trends signal otherwise.
Currently, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) awaits greater confidence in inflation's return to the 2% target before contemplating rate cuts; with market projections hinting at potential cuts kicking in from the latter half of 2024. The shift in market sentiment from earlier expectations could put a lid on the price surge in the coming weeks.
In this video, we delve into our strategic positioning amidst these market dynamics, offering insights into how we intend to navigate the impending moves in the Gold market.

USDJPY | Perspective for the new week | Follow-upIn a fresh turn of events, USDJPY surged to new intraday highs on Friday, but the question remains: Can it sustain its four-week uptrend? Meanwhile, Japan's economic output hit levels above full capacity in April-June for the first time in nearly four years, raising questions about the possibility of a shift in ultra-low interest rate policy.
Adding to the intrigue, Japan’s Finance Minister, Shunichi Suzuki, weighed in on Friday, emphasizing the undesirability of sudden FX movements and asserting that Forex rates should be influenced by market conditions and fundamental factors.
On the flip side, wage growth in the U.S. is showing signs of slowing down, adding a layer of complexity to the job market. These mixed signals are fueling uncertainty about the Federal Reserve's forthcoming interest-rate decision, scheduled for September 20th. Fed Chair Jerome Powell's recent remarks at the Jackson Hole Symposium underscored the importance of incoming data, particularly in the context of the evolving relationship between inflation and employment.
So, as we look ahead, what does the coming week hold in store for USDJPY?
USDJPY Technical Analysis:
In this video, we conducted an in-depth technical analysis of the USDJPY chart, carefully examining the current market structure which is evidently bullish. Our primary focus is still within the key zone of 144. 600 and 146.600 zone, which will serve as our center of focus ahead of the upcoming week. As price action remains within this zone, it becomes an area of interest that has led to choppy consolidation before a clear direction emerges. The market's reaction around this area at the beginning of the new week will heavily influence the trajectory of price action in the days to come.
Join me on this journey as we explore potential trading opportunities using trendlines, key levels, and chart patterns. Be sure to stay connected to my channel, follow my updates, and actively engage in the comment section as we navigate the dynamic USDJPY market together.
Wishing you the best of luck as you chart your course in the USDJPY market this week.

Apple -> Only Two More Days Guys!Hello Traders and Investors ,
my name is Philip and today I will provide a free and educational multi-timeframe technical analysis of Apple 💪
Starting on the monthly timeframe you can see that after Apple broke out of the clear triangle formation in confluence with the bullish moving averages, Apple created a strong rally of 30% towards the upside, breaking major resistance.
The weekly timeframe looks a little bit overextended with barely and red candles during the last major push so we could certainly see a retest of the previous all time high at $180.
Apple is currently once again failing to create a new all time high at the $196 level and you can still see the very obvious key bullish trendline which is still pushing the price of Apple stock higher - now we will either see a bullish breakout or a bearish breakdown, until then no setup.
Keep in mind: Don't get caught up in short term moves and always look at the long term picture; building wealth is a marathon and not a quick sprint 📈
Thank you for watching and I will see you tomorrow!

usdjpy to create a strong higher highAfter earning small chips from the shorts I decided to go long and participate in the trend. This pair is still in an uptrend. The dollar is creating higher lows and structurally higher highs. I noticed a breakout of consolidation then a retest. The re-test presented a bullish reversal pattern followed by volume. I project price to push to atleast 144.808

USDJPY to create another higher highUJ is still in its major uptrend as price continues to create strong higher highs and indecision lower lows. I took a buy based on the 30min structure. My target is the next daily resistance level. I believe that buying at a higher low off of a retest is a valid opportunity. Especially after a volume bullish engulfing candle.
EURUSD to make its 4H higher highI believe the daily momentum for this pair is still bullish. The 4H retraced to the 38.2% fib and presented a Volume bullish engulfing on top of a trendline . While I do believe the Euro is getting weaker, one more higher high or bullish push would make perfect sense considering the fact that its beneath a major resistance and had been rejected there prior. Its approaching an untested breakout zone while these daily candles aren't very strong.
USDJPY I Slight pullback and continuation of trend +200 pipsWelcome back! Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

usdjpy to make a big decision todayIn the following video I've provided 3 scenarios in which I would look to take part in any trades. The first of which is quite simply a higher high will produce another higher high.
Both scenarios afterwards are reversals. If price throws indecision in the correct direction, it signals a reversal. The daily close today will suggest a lot at yesterday was relatively volatile.
USDJPY 4H Bullish ReversalI was initially under the impression that UJ might be prepared to retrace deeper. if the 23.6% fib did not hold. The Fibonacci level has held up nicely. Yesterday another indecision candle on top of support, and the 23.6%. In addition, the 4H moving average crossing to the upside, the 1H formed a higher low after forming its higher high within this range. I believe price is preparing to breakout bullish to continue its upward trend.
EURUSD just make another higher high. BUY!EURUSD retraced to the 38.2 and formed a morning star. Price then broke through a strong resistance. The 1H is looking to re-test support. I will be looking for indecision and reversal candlesticks on top of the daily support or the prior high which is near the low & 38.2%.
Gold broke another correction trendlineI believe that as gold continues to become bullish at support that its willing to break into a higher high. Currently the downtrend momentum is halted by consolidation. Because the overall trend is currently bearish, I will await a reversal candlestick along with volatility on support for any long positions. Potentially a false breakout to the downside. Currently there will be some intraday bearish activity as another shooting star presented at resistance and a bearish engulfing. Price is currently trading beneath the neckline of a double top.
usdjpy consolidating before breakoutUSDJPY is hinting at a momentum swing. The overall trend is still up however price has not been making any new higher highs on the daily, In fact, volatility at the high forms a bearish reversal signal. I believe price is pulling back intraday bullish, but this push isn't very strong. Another daily rejection at the high will trigger a short setup for me.
EURUSD intraday 1st higher highI believe EURUSD is reversing as it formed its first higher high within this consolidation range. ADX was not bullish during this move, however structure was broke. I will look to capitalize on any breakout. I have a zone marked at the bottom of the zone as the daily has formed two bullish reversal candlesticks along with volatility at support. Currently price is at daily swing high, which price failed to break. The 4H has formed a higher high and is retracing with indecision to form a higher low. If the daily support holds. Im long EURUSD.

USJPY ready to take off againUSDJPY is very bullish. Its so bullish I believe that another 23.6% retracement is available. The daily retraced to the 23.6% Fibonacci. After an indecision candle, price formed a strong bullish engulfing. The 4H has given a strong signal that should grab our attention. A correction trendline has been broken with a lot of volume, the moving average is relatively close to crossing up.
