Fed Pressure Pushing Prices Up?On the 4-hour chart of gold, we see that the price of gold has pulled back slightly from recent highs, but is still maintaining a positive uptrend above two exponential moving averages (EMAs), the 34 and 89. The 34 EMA, shown in blue, is above the 89 EMA in purple, indicating that the short-term uptrend is still intact. However, it is worth noting that the current slight decline has brought the price closer to the 34 EMA, which could be a key test to determine whether the uptrend is continuing. If the price of gold closes below the 34 EMA, it could be a sign of a deeper downside correction, while holding above this line could confirm that the uptrend is still in effect. Additionally, investors should keep a close eye on trading volume along with key support and resistance levels. Currently, the immediate resistance is at the recent high of around $2,580, and a breakout above this level could send the price higher. The key support level to watch is around $2,540, the low of recent days.by Naoomi3
XAU rises high waiting for investors to take profitAccording to signals from the Fed and the market, in this meeting, the US Central Bank will cut the operating interest rate for the first time since March 2020. Previously, the Fed had raised interest rates 11 times, from March 2022 to September 2023, bringing interest rates from a record low of 0-0.25%/year to the current 5.25-5.5%. The Fed raised interest rates to curb inflation, which peaked at a historical peak of 9.1% in June 2022. Maintaining interest rates at very high levels in the past 2 years has caused many difficulties for the American people and the economy has recently shown many negative signals, affecting the labor market. Many experts are worried that the US economy will fall into recession. Over the past month, Fed officials have sent many signals that the bank will cut interest rates.by NicoTradingMaster4

As gold prices approach this resistance point, several technical indicators suggest a potential downward move, making this an ideal entry for short positions.

XAU/USD CONTINUATION OF BULL RUN??The dust has settled from the fed rate decision, amongst the debris, we see gold made a nice move to 2600 (that i took advantage of happily) and also took a massive dump to the 2560s as of now. We can see potential for another bull run in the way the Hourly and 30M price action behaves. Bullish closes against small bearish candles indicate the bulls taking back their power for a potential aim at 2630s now. We have broken the psychological high for gold by smashing 2600. With the price action showing me bullish momentum, the knowledge that the rate cut caused explosive growth in gold, and the value of the dollar as now hit an all time low (dont quote me, i read it somewhere); it is good indication that the run for gold is still not exhausted. I think gold made a short run to grab some liquidity only to push higher. I do not think gold will be pushing much lower simply because of the economics of the situation. Stay aware, stay awake, and dont get trapped into a bad trade. Cut losses quick and let your winners run (within reason of course) I will be posting ideas all week, I trade Gold and GBP/JPY mostly, if there are any pairs you want to see an analysis on, feel free to let me know in the comments on this idea!

we need to consider a few key details 1. Have we reached overbought conditions? 2. Will we enter a sideways phase before continuing the upward movement? 3. Will the price begin a correction after the last rise? In my view, the loss of momentum is evident with the distorted shape of some candles on the 15-minute timeframe, signaling that the buying pressure is likely fading. Additionally, the formation of the latest Higher Highs (HH) and Lower Highs (LH) suggests the potential for a sideways range, allowing time for distribution before a corrective move, followed by a continuation of the upward trend. by Tradeshoots5
Bull to bear I see the market going back up to 2595 and we will watch to see what happens there.

Understanding Candlestick Patterns Understanding Candlestick Patterns Candlestick patterns are one of the most fundamental tools in technical analysis. They provide valuable insight into market sentiment, showing how buyers and sellers are interacting at any given time. By understanding candlestick patterns, traders can make more informed decisions about potential price movements. In this chapter, we’ll explore the basics of candlesticks, including bullish, bearish, and neutral candles, and dive deeper into specific patterns like wickless candles, engulfing patterns, and how to interpret the open and close of a candle. --- What is a Candlestick? A candlestick represents the price action of a security within a specific time frame, such as one minute, one hour, or one day. Each candlestick provides four critical pieces of information: Open: The price at which the asset began trading during the time frame. Close: The price at which the asset finished trading during the time frame. High: The highest price reached during the time frame. Low: The lowest price reached during the time frame. The body of the candlestick represents the distance between the open and close prices, while the “wicks” or “shadows” represent the highs and lows. Bullish Candles A bullish candle forms when the closing price is higher than the opening price, signaling that buyers have control during that period. The body of the candle is typically green or white (depending on charting software), and it indicates upward momentum. Bullish Candle Characteristics: Open price is lower than the close. Buyers have pushed the price higher during the session. Longer bodies suggest stronger bullish sentiment. Example of Bullish Candle: Hammer: A bullish reversal pattern found at the bottom of a downtrend. It has a small body and a long lower wick, showing that sellers tried to push the price lower, but buyers took control by the close, driving the price higher. Bearish Candles A bearish candle forms when the closing price is lower than the opening price, signaling that sellers have control during that period. The body of the candle is typically red or black, indicating downward momentum. Bearish Candle Characteristics: Open price is higher than the close. Sellers dominated the session. Longer bodies suggest stronger bearish sentiment. Example of Bearish Candle: Shooting Star: A bearish reversal pattern found at the top of an uptrend. It has a small body and a long upper wick, indicating that buyers attempted to push the price higher, but sellers gained control, pushing the price down by the close. Neutral Candles A neutral candle forms when there is little difference between the opening and closing prices. This type of candle suggests indecision in the market, where neither buyers nor sellers are fully in control. The candle can have long wicks, showing volatility, but a small body reflects indecisiveness. Example of Neutral Candle: Doji: A Doji candle forms when the opening and closing prices are virtually identical. This pattern often indicates a potential reversal or pause in trend because of the market’s indecision. Wickless Candles A wickless candle is a candlestick that has no upper or lower shadows (wicks), which means the highest and lowest prices during the time frame are exactly at the open or close. These candles signify strong directional moves, as the price doesn’t fluctuate significantly beyond the open and close. Bullish Wickless Candle: The price opens at its low and closes at its high, indicating strong buying pressure throughout the period. Bearish Wickless Candle: The price opens at its high and closes at its low, suggesting strong selling pressure. Interpretation of Wickless Candles: Wickless candles are rare but powerful. They show clear control by one side (buyers or sellers) with little resistance from the other. Traders should watch for these candles during strong trending markets, as they can signal momentum. Wickless Candles and Liquidity In trading, liquidity refers to how easily an asset can be bought or sold without affecting its price. Liquidity is often concentrated at certain price levels, where orders from both buyers and sellers are waiting to be executed. When a wickless candle forms, it can create a liquidity void or gap, since the price hasn’t retraced or tested areas around the open or close of the candle. In simple terms, the lack of a wick suggests the market has skipped over certain price levels without sufficient trading activity. Market participants often believe that price tends to return to these levels in the future, as the market seeks out liquidity to fill these gaps. Why Price Often "Comes Back" to Create a Wick: Liquidity Pools: At untested price levels (around where wicks would normally form), large buy or sell orders may be resting. Market makers and institutional traders are incentivized to revisit these areas to fill unexecuted orders, making it likely that the price will return to this range. Market Efficiency: The market tends to move back to areas of liquidity to balance out price action. Wickless candles show where a rapid price move might have skipped over significant trading interest. Correction or Reversal: In some cases, price retracement occurs when the market "corrects" overextended moves. If a strong bullish or bearish candle lacks wicks, traders may expect a temporary pullback to balance the market. Trading Wickless Candles: Watching for Retracement When you see a wickless candle, it's a potential signal that the price may retrace to "fill" the liquidity void and form a wick. Here's how to trade these setups: 1. Monitor the Wickless Candle: After a strong bullish or bearish candle without wicks, observe the price action in the following periods. Pay attention to areas that the price didn’t test. 2. Wait for Price to Return to the Liquidity Zone: If the market retraces toward the opening or closing price of the wickless candle, it often indicates that the market is filling the liquidity gap. This retracement could provide a trading opportunity. For bullish wickless candles, watch for a retracement to the opening price (the lower end of the candle), where buyers may step in again. For bearish wickless candles, watch for a return to the closing price (the upper end of the candle), where sellers may resume control. 3. Look for Confirmation: Don’t rely solely on the wickless candle. Combine it with other signals, such as support and resistance levels or volume analysis, to confirm if the market is likely to revisit those untested areas. Wickless Candles in Context Wickless candles are not standalone signals; they should be interpreted within the context of the broader market environment. Traders should consider the following: Trend Context: Is the wickless candle part of a strong, established trend? In a powerful trend, price may push ahead without a significant retracement. However, even in trending markets, prices tend to come back and test previous levels eventually. Time Frame: The time frame of the candle matters. A wickless candle on a lower time frame (e.g., 5-minute chart) may quickly retrace, whereas a wickless candle on a higher time frame (e.g., daily or weekly chart) could take much longer to come back to its liquidity zone. Volume: Check for high volume during the wickless candle formation. If there’s a liquidity gap and low volume, it’s more likely that price will retrace to fill those levels.Wickless candles provide important clues about market momentum and liquidity gaps. While they often suggest strong directional movement in the short term, these candles can also indicate areas where price may return in the future to fill untested liquidity. Understanding how to read wickless candles in combination with other technical analysis tools can enhance your ability to identify potential retracement opportunities and anticipate future price movements. Engulfing Candles Engulfing patterns are strong reversal signals that occur when one candle completely engulfs the body of the previous candle. These patterns come in two types: bullish engulfing and bearish engulfing. Bullish Engulfing Pattern Description: A bullish engulfing candle forms when a larger bullish candle fully engulfs the body of the previous bearish candle. This pattern indicates a potential reversal from a downtrend to an uptrend, showing that buyers have overwhelmed sellers. What to Look For: The second candle (bullish) must fully cover the body of the first (bearish) candle. It’s more powerful when it occurs after a prolonged downtrend or near a support level. Bearish Engulfing Pattern Description: A bearish engulfing candle forms when a larger bearish candle fully engulfs the body of the previous bullish candle. This pattern signals a potential reversal from an uptrend to a downtrend, indicating that sellers have taken control. What to Look For: The second candle (bearish) must completely cover the body of the first (bullish) candle. This pattern is stronger when it appears after an extended uptrend or near a resistance level. How to Trade Engulfing Patterns: Entry: For bullish engulfing patterns, enter long trades when the price moves above the high of the bullish candle. For bearish engulfing patterns, enter short trades when the price moves below the low of the bearish candle. Confirmation: Engulfing patterns should be confirmed with increased volume, signaling stronger conviction by buyers or sellers. Engulfing Candles as Demand and Supply Zones Engulfing candles, especially bullish ones, often mark demand zones—areas where buying pressure overwhelmed selling pressure and caused a significant shift in price direction. These zones represent areas where traders and institutions found value and stepped in to buy aggressively, making them key areas for future price reactions. Bullish Engulfing Candles Create Demand Zones: When a bullish engulfing candle forms, the area around the candle's low and close becomes a potential demand zone. When price revisits this area in the future, it’s likely that buyers will step in again, causing the price to bounce. Bearish Engulfing Candles as Supply Zones: While bearish engulfing candles represent supply zones (where sellers dominate), the concept is similar. However, for this discussion, we'll focus on the bullish engulfing candles and their role in creating demand zones.How Engulfing Candles Become Demand Zones Engulfing candles signal strong shifts in market dynamics. Here’s why they often become areas of high demand: 1. Imbalance Between Buyers and Sellers: The large body of the engulfing candle shows that buyers stepped in strongly at that price level, overwhelming sellers. This imbalance creates a "memory" in the market, where participants remember the strength of the move. When the price retraces to this level, there’s a strong likelihood that buyers will re-enter the market, viewing it as an area of value. 2. Institutional Orders: Engulfing candles often indicate areas where institutional traders placed large buy orders. These areas tend to hold significance because institutions may place additional orders at these levels when price returns, reinforcing the demand zone. 3. Market Sentiment Shift: The price action leading to an engulfing candle reflects a sharp change in sentiment. For example, in a bullish engulfing pattern, sellers controlled the market initially, but buyers took over and drove prices up. This sharp reversal marks an area where demand is likely to outpace supply again in the future. Understanding candlesticks and their patterns is a foundational skill in technical analysis. By paying attention to key details such as the open, close, wicks, and the relationship between candles, you can better anticipate price movements and make more informed trading decisions. Candlesticks like bullish, bearish, and neutral patterns, along with specific signals like wickless and engulfing candles, provide valuable insights into the psychology of the market, helping you identify entry and exit points more effectively. In live trading, combining candlestick analysis with other technical indicators, such as moving averages or support and resistance levels, can increase your chances of success. Always remember, though, that no pattern is foolproof, and it’s crucial to use risk management techniques to protect your capital. Educationby samstoobad2
