Market Review
Recent performance: Gold closed with a large positive line on the weekly line and continued to rise strongly last week. On Monday, there was a big rise of $100, and the daily line closed with a huge positive line, breaking through the $3,400 mark.
Day trading rules (past two months):
Rising day: Usually the opening is the low point, driven by the Asian market (Japan, South Korea) in the morning, followed by the Chinese market after the opening at 9 o'clock, and then the European market took over in the afternoon, and the US market continued in the evening.
No rise or falling day: Usually after opening high, it is weak or directly breaks the morning low.

Gold Weekly Outlook: Strong Upward Trend, Continue to Go LongThere is no analysis to be made on gold at present, basically all longs are made, this bull market has to be said to be too crazy.
Since gold started to rise from the low point of 2956, except for two normal adjustments in the middle, the price of gold has maintained a strong upward trend relying on the MA5 moving average for most of the time. This trend characteristic shows that in a shorter period, the MA5 moving average has become an important support line for the rise in gold prices. As long as the price runs above the MA5 moving average, the bulls will dominate.
At present, 3500 is about to arrive in a flash, it is just a matter of time. The current market depends on everyone's courage. If you go in with a long order, you will definitely make a profit, and it is very easy, with basically no callback.
And any callback is an opportunity. In terms of operation, you can continue to go long relying on the short-term moving average MA5.
Just like the analysis in Quaid's previous article, you can boldly believe that it can reach the new height you think. Believe in Quaid, believe in yourself, brother, you can do it.
I am Quaid. After seeing my analysis strategy, no matter your past gains and losses, I hope that you can achieve an investment breakthrough with my help and turn every tide in the gold market into our wealth wave.

Nifty Futures Intraday Trend Analysis for April 22, 2025The primary trend remains bullish as Nifty Futures continues to trade above the Sine Wave. However, Market Timing is indicating a bearish signal, which is further confirmed by the MastersCycleSignal indicator. If the price moves lower, the first support level is at 23,875, followed by a stronger support at 23,628 (Sine Wave level).
This is my personal view. Traders are advised to rely on their technical analysis and always trade with a Stop-Loss.
Gold is now far away from the moving averageGold's 1-hour moving average continues to cross upward bullish divergence, and the gold bullish volume is still there. After breaking through 3400, gold has basically stabilized at 3400. Gold has also tested the support near 3405 several times in the US market. Gold continues to stabilize and rise. However, gold is now far away from the moving average, and we must always pay attention to the adjustment of the high position. Gold is watching the pressure around 3461

Short term sizable correction before new highsI haven't updated my cattle idea in awhile, but it's been trading like I figured, since Feb. We've now hit multiple technical targets in this pocket up here. I think there's a good chance we get a decent correction from here down to the 198-197 area, although it could easily retrace down lower, more violent and sharp with fund long covering and momentum. Long term I am still bullish with my original idea back at the beginning of the year, and think we can get that 217-218 target in the fall.
My last idea this is continuing:
Nasdaq (NQ1!) Weekly Chart Analysis – What’s Next? (Week 16)📌 Title:
NASDAQ – 18,000 Holding, But Downside Risk Remains
Review of Last week's outlook:
I said that buying between 18,600 and 18,700 on the 12-hour chart would be reasonable,
but if a 12-hour candle closed below 18,500, it would be a major warning signal.
That strategy was valid at least until Tuesday.
But then three more 12-hour candles formed,
and Tuesday's closing price was 18,938.
The market opened Wednesday with a gap down at 18,790.
Looking at the chart at that time,
price had dropped below the 200-day line on the 2-day chart,
and the 12-hour chart was also not looking good.
So the strategy of buying near 18,600 on the 12-hour chart was no longer valid.
I had mentioned that if a 12-hour candle closed below 18,500,
it could get very dangerous.
And on the 4-hour chart, I had suggested short-term scalping was possible in the low 18,000s.
As expected, there was one bounce from that level,
but the price continued to fall after that.
📋 Description:
Now, NASDAQ is currently hovering near 18,000.
Although volatility remains low, price action continues to drift lower with weak momentum on higher timeframes.
Key Technical Observations:
• 📉 Still inside the 5-day bullish Ichimoku cloud
• 📍 17,000 = Bottom of the Bi-weekly Kumo + 3D 200SMA
• 📍 16,500 = Previous swing low, potential double bottom area
• 📈 18,400 = Needs to be reclaimed by weekly close to consider range recovery
A clean break below 17,700 could open the path toward 17,000, and possibly lower.
For now, this is a watch-and-react zone not yet a clear buy or sell signal, but conditions are forming for the next move.
🔁 Bias: Neutral to Bearish
⏳ Strategy: Wait for confirmation at 17,700 or breakdown
Gold: Bearish, may fall below 3300📊 Yesterday, gold resumed its bullish move after a minor pullback, breaking through the 3400 level and reaching around 3440 during today’s early session, before starting to retrace.
📉 In the chart I shared yesterday, the black line represents the key bull-bear boundary. The current price has already broken below this level, and if it fails to reclaim it, the trend may shift toward bearish in the short term.
📌 Key support levels to watch:
First support: 3383
Next support: 3350
If selling intensifies, there’s a real chance price may break below 3300
Don't chase highs, wait for a pullback!Although you and I have never met, I seem to have seen you. Friends who have been paying attention to me for a long time should feel my sincerity from my words. The most precious thing between people is trust. Whenever an olive branch waves to you, you are unmoved; I just want to tell you that I have come all the way from losses. As a person who has been through it, I don't want to see you facing a helpless situation when you are in trouble. That's all!
The gold price continued to be strong. It continued to rise after the opening of the previous trading day. The US market reached a high of 3430 and then fell slightly, but the retracement was limited. The bulls still dominated the trend. Short-term fundamentals (such as tariff risks) have not eased, and the market has no basis for a big drop, but it is necessary to be vigilant about the volatility risks brought by policy uncertainty. Don't chase highs, wait for a pullback: It has risen three times during the day, and the risk of chasing more is high. It is recommended to wait for the hourly line to step back on EMA10 or EMA20 support. Be vigilant to sudden declines in the upward trend, target short-term profits, and avoid overnight positions. When emotions drive the market, do not predict high points, pay attention to real-time signals, and it is recommended to focus on short-term and stop profits in time. Bulls are in the lead but pressure from above is looming. The tariff issue is like a "time bomb". Operationally, it is necessary to balance trends and risks and adopt a quick-in-and-out strategy to deal with volatile markets.
