GOLD → The market is trying to buy back the decline...FX:XAUUSD continues to consolidate in the $4000 zone, failing to develop a rebound in the middle of the week. The price remains in a sideways trend for the eighth day in a row, waiting for a driver that will finally move the price forward...
Reasons for market restraint:
Strong US data: growth in ADP private employment, growth in the ISM services business activity index, lower odds of Fed easing, the probability of which has fallen to 62% for December...
However, the ongoing government shutdown and the delay in employment and inflation data are supporting the metal...
Gold is looking for new catalysts. A break above $4030-$4050 will require weak US data or an escalation of risks, which is not currently the case.
Resistance levels: 4030, 4050
Support levels: 4000, 3967, 3955
As the specified resistance is reached, the potential for further growth may be exhausted, and in this case, a false breakout could lead to a correction to 4K. However, if support does not hold the decline, this phase could last much longer. I am not yet talking about further growth beyond 4050, as the fundamental background is weak and there has been no reaction to this zone yet, since the price is still far from the level...

BITCOIN → The hunt for liquidity before the decline BINANCE:BTCUSDT is testing the 100K area and updating its local minimum to 98,900 as part of another liquidation. The market is weak, and bulls are trying to wait out the panic...
Bitcoin looks weak. After a sharp decline, a pullback is forming, during which the price may test the break-even and interest zones — previously broken support areas. Buyers are not yet showing themselves in the market...
There is an intermediate bottom at 98,900, as well as the upper limit of the local range at 105,200. The range of 105,200 - 107,200 - 108,200 is important because it hides a pool of liquidity for a downward movement. MM may reach these zones and bring the price back into the trading range.
Resistance levels: 105,182, 107,271
Support levels: 101130, 98900
A retest of resistance at 105182 and the lack of potential for continued growth may confirm the fact of a false breakout, which in turn may provoke a fall to local targets. I do not rule out the possibility that the price may go even higher, for example, to 107270 - 108200. I do not see any point in waiting for a trend reversal yet...
Best regards, R. Linda!
GOLD → The battle for the $4,000 zone. Are the bulls here?FX:XAUUSD is gradually recovering. The price is breaking through $4,000 and trying to stay above the key psychological level. Focus on 4,030–4,050...
Weak employment data, namely a sharp increase in layoffs in October, has heightened fears of an economic slowdown, a decline in government bond yields, and the ongoing correction of AI assets is fueling demand for safe havens.
The probability of a Fed rate cut in December has risen to 69%. The situation is stabilizing somewhat, there is no strong news today, and the market may try to maintain the current backdrop...
Gold retains its upside potential while macro risks remain. The $4000 level is currently acting as key support. Closing the week above this mark will open the way to test $4050.
Resistance levels: 4030 - 4050
Support levels: 4000, 3975, 3956
The dollar and gold are rising, and the inverse correlation is decreasing, indicating that bulls are still trying to keep the market from falling sharply. However, given the lack of drivers, strong news, and a clear fundamental backdrop, I would say that gold is not yet ready to break out of its current range. Consolidation above 4K could lead to a retest of 4030-4050, which in turn could trigger a pullback to local support.
Best regards, R. Linda!
USDJPY → Consolidation above key support. Growth?FX:USDJPY breaks the structure of downward resistance on the daily timeframe. A retest is forming as part of the correction, and bulls have every chance of growth...
The dollar is in an uptrend, which generally supports the currency pair.
Against this backdrop, the Japanese yen continues to weaken.
USDJPY is testing the previously broken resistance of the trading range as part of the correction.
However, the price was not allowed to fall and quickly returned to the long zone.
Accordingly, support at 153.0 - 153.2 plays a key role. Consolidation above this level could trigger further growth to 153.8 - 156.0.
Support levels: 153.23, 152.83
Resistance levels: 154.83, 156.0
The bullish trend may support the current movement, and a breakout of the trend resistance on D1 is a fairly strong sign of interest in growth against the backdrop of a strong dollar.
Best regards, R. Linda!
EURJPY → Long squeeze before growth FX:EURJPY is forming a long squeeze and a false breakdown of support amid a sharp decline. The trend is bullish, and buyers may enter the game against the backdrop of a weak yen.
The Japanese yen is falling, giving way to the euro, which is strengthening against this backdrop.
EURJPY is forming a global uptrend, which may generally support price growth...
The currency pair is returning to its trading range after a false breakdown of support. If the bulls hold their ground above 176.600, the price may form an upward momentum.
Resistance levels: 176.6, 177.0, 177.34
Support levels: 176.37, 176. 3
The market is trying to buy back the sharp decline, and the price is returning to the long zone, forming a reversal pattern. If the bulls hold the price above the support of the trading range, the market will have a chance to grow.
Best regards, R. Linda!
ETHUSDT → Breakdown of the global trend. Distribution to 3360BINANCE:ETHUSDT is entering a distribution phase after breakdown of a consolidation formed against the backdrop of a bearish trend (correction). Sentiment, like the fundamental background, is changing...
Bitcoin is falling, which is putting pressure on the market. The reasons are weak fundamentals, index correction, and the rise of the dollar (outflow of funds from the market). On the daily ETH timeframe, we see a break in the uptrend. Monday's candle closed below the trend line, and since the opening of the session, the price has rallied (panic???)
Ethereum is coming out of consolidation (breakthrough of 3671). A distribution phase is forming, directed towards 3366 (liquidity pool). Technically, a false breakdown of support could trigger a pullback to 3600 (retest of the previously broken upward support line).
Support levels: 3366, 3150, 3000
Resistance levels: 3600, 3670, 3916
Despite the breakdown of the trend structure, we have strong support ahead. If the bulls hold 3366, the market may form a wider trading range. But if the overall background does not change, the decline may continue after the correction...
Best regards, R. Linda!
AB=CD (5 WAVES)Hello traders — hope you’re all gathering some pips!
Quick ETH update on the 1D chart: we’ve just completed a clean AB=CD (1:1) after a five-wave drop into the PCZ, and price rejected the zone with a bounce from D ≈ 3,057. Bias turns bullish while we hold above the PCZ.
Symbol: ETHUSDT (1D)
Key Levels
A–B–C–D: A ≈ 4,756 → B ≈ 3,392 → C ≈ 4,254 → D ≈ 3,057
PCZ: 3,182 – 2,889 (D printed inside, strong reaction)
TP1: 3,735 – 3,919
TP2: 4,154 – 4,452
TP3: 5,016 – 5,314
Invalidation: daily close < 2,889
Plan
Long on a retest/hold of 3,18x–3,05x or on continuation above last bounce high.
Scale out 30% / 40% / 30% at TP1/TP2/TP3; trail under rising swing lows.
Risk
Risk ≤1%. Initial SL just below 2,889 (beyond PCZ). Move to BE after ~1R.
Notes
Structure respects Equal Length (AB=CD) and fib confluence; staying above the PCZ keeps the path open toward TP1 → TP2 → TP3.
GOLD → Consolidation is narrowing... Price is weakening FX:XAUUSD is trading near $4,000, consolidating after the Fed's statements and awaiting new macro data. The trading range has narrowed to $3,886–4,046, forming a symmetrical triangle (unpredictability)
Fed caution: Powell ruled out guarantees of a rate cut in December, which supported the dollar and limited gold's growth.
US shutdown: Could become the longest in history, causing economic concerns, but is expected to end this week.
Weak data: ISM Manufacturing PMI (48.7) pointed to contraction in the sector, which is holding back the dollar's strengthening.
This week, attention is focused on ADP and ISM Services — assessing the impact on Fed rates.
NFP (if published) — a key benchmark for the labor market.
Accordingly, gold is in wait-and-see mode. Clear signals from the data or the Fed will be needed to break out of the range. The $4000 level remains a psychological equilibrium point.
Resistance levels: 4000, 4030, 4050
Support levels: 3956, 3915, 3900
At the moment, the price is far from the key consolidation boundaries, and the market is uncertain. In this case, we are considering trading within the channel. I expect to see a retest of the flat resistance or the triangle boundary and a rebound.
Best regards, R. Linda!
GOLD → Consolidation within a symmetrical triangle The market is holding gold back from strong movement, forming short jumps from zone to zone within consolidation. We have a symmetrical triangle within an upward correction channel.
Key supporting factors:
The US shutdown is becoming the longest in history, increasing economic risks.
China is canceling tax breaks for retailers. Trump may announce new tariffs related to China.
ISM Manufacturing PMI data (US) is ahead - a rare indicator during the shutdown.
The probability of a Fed rate cut in December has fallen to 69% (from 91.7% a week ago).
Technically, consolidation may continue until the price breaks one of the boundaries of the symmetrical triangle.
Support levels: 3990, 3956, 3915
Resistance levels: 4030, 4047, 4085
Traders are uncertain about the future direction, and as a result, the market is consolidating. There are limit levels both below and above that are holding back movement. Accordingly, until there is a clear fundamental background, it is possible to focus on trading within the channel. I expect a rebound from 3960 for a retest of resistance. However, a close above 4030 could trigger growth, while a close below 3956 would confirm the weakness of the market and trigger a fall to 3900.
Best regards, R. Linda!
EURGBP → Breaking through resistance provokes distribution FX:EURGBP is updating its high as part of a rally triggered by a breakout of consolidation resistance amid a bullish trend
The currency pair is in a phase of a confident uptrend (D1), with consolidation forming in the form of a bullish pattern, which generally indicates the strength of the buyer.
After breaking through the resistance of the “ascending triangle” consolidation, the currency pair is updating its high to 0.8818 and forming a double top, which is provoking a correction. Before rising, the price may test support.
Resistance levels: 0.8786, 0.8818
Support levels: 0.8752, 0.8721
The correction may bring the price to the break-even zone (breakout area). Liquidity capture will shift the imbalance towards buyers, which may trigger a continuation of the upward movement.
Best regards, R. Linda!
GOLD → Consolidation. The fundamental backdrop is changing...FX:XAUUSD stabilizes after a week-long decline, failing to consolidate above $4050. The market is taking a pause before new impulses. Focus on 4030 and 3980...
Investors are closing positions before the end of the week and month, the reason being the uncertainty surrounding the deal with China and Powell's less dovish stance on policy: a 25 bp rate cut is already priced in. The probability of a December cut has fallen to 72.8% (from 91.1% a week ago). Powell emphasized that decisions depend on data, which is not available due to the shutdown.
The strong dollar (2-month highs) is putting pressure on gold. Weak data from China (PMI fell to 49.0) is reducing demand from the largest consumer.
The balance is tipping towards weak fundamentals...
Resistance levels: 4030, 4085
Support levels: 3982, 3955, 3915
Technically, bears are keeping the market below 4030 - strong resistance. If buyers enter the market (there are currently no fundamental reasons for this) and the bulls are able to break through 4030 and keep the price above this level, we will have a chance for growth. But under the current circumstances, I expect a correction to support before a possible rise.
Best regards, R. Linda!
USDJPY → Attempt to break through trend resistance FX:USDJPY breaks through the resistance of the bullish pattern and attempts to remain in the long zone. There is a possibility of price growth against the backdrop of the dollar's rise following Powell's speech.
The dollar is recovering after the Fed meeting, and against this backdrop, the Japanese yen is losing ground, breaking through resistance at 153.23. The currency pair is trying to capitalize on the chance for growth.
The Japanese yen is forming a breakout of the resistance of a bullish pattern: an ascending triangle + consolidation on a bullish trend.
If buyers keep the price above 153.23, the market will have a chance to grow to 154.7.
Resistance levels: 153.23, 154.7
Support levels: 151.85, 152.37
On D1, the currency pair is trying to overcome the resistance of a multi-month downward correction. Locally, on H1, there is a breakout of the bullish pattern structure, which indicates interest from buyers. The chances of growth from 153 will appear if the price consolidates above the specified level.
Best regards, R. Linda!
GOLD → Price stuck in range after Fed speech FX:XAUUSD continues to battle for the $4,000 zone. The fundamental backdrop has a hint of unpredictability following the Fed's statement. Technically, the range of 3,915-4,015 is developing
Key factors: US shutdown (4th week): Weighs on the economy and the dollar, supporting gold as a safe haven. However, the Fed toughened its tone yesterday: It cut rates by 25 basis points, but Powell ruled out guarantees for a cut in December. Trump and Xi meeting: Agreements reached on soybeans and rare earths, reducing demand for defensive assets.
Gold balances between shutdown risks and monetary policy tightening. Growth is only possible if macro statistics deteriorate or geopolitics escalate.
Resistance levels: 4015 - 4050
Support levels: 3980 - 3960 - 3915
Gold may continue its correction from the 4015 - 4050 zone to 3950 - 3900 if the bulls are unable to keep the price within the upper range. However, if the market continues to buy the metal (there are no fundamental reasons for this yet) and the price closes above 4015, there may be a chance for growth to 4050 - 4085.
Best regards, R. Linda!
LULU 1D - stretching into a comebackOn the daily chart of Lululemon Athletica (LULU), a clean AB=CD pattern is forming, signaling a potential end to the correction and the beginning of a new upward wave. The price has tested the strong buy zone between 164–167, aligned with a major daily support level and rising volume - a classic setup indicating that buyers are regaining control.
Technically , the structure is highly symmetrical, RSI shows a bullish divergence, and the 50-day moving average is starting to turn upward - all suggesting a possible trend reversal. The first upside target for this pattern is $230, followed by a second target at $340, which corresponds to the 1.272 and 1.618 Fibonacci extensions.
From a fundamental standpoint, Lululemon remains a powerhouse in the premium activewear market, maintaining strong brand loyalty even amid competition from Nike and Alo. The company continues to expand its men’s line and footwear segment, which now accounts for over 25% of total revenue. International growth remains robust, with new stores opening in South Korea, the UAE, and Germany. Lululemon’s shift toward higher-margin online sales and more efficient logistics continues to strengthen its profitability.
In the latest quarterly report (September 2025), revenue grew by 9% year-over-year, and EPS came in above Wall Street expectations. High customer retention - over 90% repeat purchase rate - and stable gross margins create a solid foundation for a mid-term recovery in the stock.
Tactical plan: watch for entries within the 164–167 buy zone, consider partial profit-taking near $230, and target $340 if momentum extends. Just like in yoga, patience and balance lead to the best results.
BCHUSDT → Consolidation ahead of news. Target 600?BINANCE:BCHUSDT.P is consolidating above key resistance. Consolidation is forming ahead of news. Are the bulls in play?
Bitcoin is consolidating, trading above key support at 111650. News ahead, a positive outcome could support the market, including altcoins...
As for BCHUSDT, the coin is breaking through the strong resistance zone of 549.15 as part of a bullish trend and is forming consolidation in the range of 549-570. A liquidity pool has formed below 549. There is a high probability of a long squeeze before growth.
Resistance levels: 570, 600, 612
Support levels: 549.15, 533, 511.25
The market is bullish, which is clearly visible on the D1 timeframe. After a strong rally, the coin is entering a consolidation phase, which is forming above the previously broken resistance. A retest of support could trigger growth in the direction of the trend.
Best regards, R. Linda!
GOLD → The market is testing 4K ahead of the Fed's decision FX:XAUUSD is testing $4,000 ahead of the Fed's decision, partially recovering from a 3.5% drop this week. The fundamental backdrop is mixed, but technically, the signs of a bull market are positive.
Key factors : Fed decision (today): A 25 bps rate cut is expected, but the main focus is on the vote count and Powell's comments.
A dovish scenario (emphasis on risks to the labor market) will support gold. A hawkish surprise will reinforce the correction. Trump-Xi meeting (tomorrow): Statements about lowering tariffs weaken demand for defensive assets.
Gold is in limbo; in the second half of the European session and the beginning of the US session, the market may enter a phase of stagnation. Growth is only likely if the Fed takes a soft tone, while progress in trade negotiations or a hawkish surprise from the Fed will prolong the correction.
Resistance levels: 4015, 4050, 4085
Support levels: 3975, 3945, 3900
If the bulls can hold their ground above 4K, we will see strong support, in which case growth to 4050-4100 may be triggered. Otherwise, the market may form a correction to 3975-3945. It is worth keeping an eye on comments from Powell and Trump... Volatility will be high...
Best regards, R. Linda!
GOLD → Sell-off due to uncertainty FX:XAUUSD is falling, the trend is downward, and we have confirmation of this. Profit-taking is leading to a decline, which is causing buyers to exit the market...
Caution ahead of the Fed: Markets are pricing in a 25 bp rate cut, but the main thing is the tone of the statement and Powell's comments on further steps. The USD is not ready to continue its growth and is starting to look downwards. The US government shutdown continues, adding uncertainty, which supports gold.
However, an important issue is the trade deal between the US and China; a positive outcome could put pressure on gold.
Gold is balancing between hopes for a trade truce and risks from Fed policy.
Support levels: 3895, 3820
Resistance levels: 3943, 3975, 4015
Since the opening of the session, the price has fallen by 2.3%, which is an intraday range. The 3900-3895 area may see a reaction in the form of a false breakdown and a correction to the imbalance zone before a possible further decline.
Best regards, R. Linda!
AUDUSD → Attempt to reverse the trend to bullish FX:AUDUSD is forming a correction after breaking through the resistance of the downward channel. The market needs a trading range or consolidation above 0.6526.
The dollar is consolidating but is not ready to continue growing. Pressure on the currency is emerging ahead of the Fed meeting. This may support the growth of the Australian dollar.
The currency pair is entering a distribution phase after consolidation. The breakout of 0.6526 triggered a break of the downward channel resistance. An attempt to change the trend is forming. If the bulls keep the price above 0.6526, this could trigger further growth.
Resistance levels: 0.6567, 0.661
Support levels: 0.6526, 0.6493
At the moment, an attempt to change the trend has been initiated. Consolidation and distribution are a good sign, but above the previously broken trend line, a trading range should form, which will confirm the fact of a change in the local trend.
Best regards, R. Linda!
GOLD → A psychologically important level of $4,000 lies aheadFX:XAUUSD continues to correct, unable to consolidate above $4,100, with the 4K mark ahead. Pressure is intensifying due to hopes for a trade deal between the US and China, as well as profit-taking ahead of the Fed's decision on interest rates...
Key factors:
Progress in trade negotiations: the US has withdrawn the threat of 100% tariffs, and China may support the situation. Thursday's meeting between Trump and Xi Jinping increases the chances of a deal.
Bets on two rate cuts in 2024 are almost fully priced in. US inflation (3% y/y) was lower than forecast (3.1%), but did not change expectations.
The correction may continue if the positive backdrop for the trade deal remains. The Fed's decision on Wednesday will be a key catalyst.
Technically, the 4K zone is ahead, and it is too early to talk about a break of this support, as we do not know how the market will react. However, at the moment, the price is in the range of 4000-4163, and from a technical analysis point of view, it is logical to consider a false breakdown and a pullback.
Support levels: 4000, 3975, 3944
Resistance levels: 4060, 4090, 4163
As part of the decline, the market may test one of the specified zones: 4000, 3975, 3944. However, since a liquidity pool has formed below 4K, the reaction to the psychological support level may be aggressive. It is important to monitor the situation, as closing below 4K and consolidating below a strong level could trigger a further decline. Otherwise, if the bulls manage to hold their ground above 4K and bring the price back above 4050, the market may have a chance to grow.
Best regards, R. Linda!
GOLD → Technical analysis of the current situation FX:XAUUSD is consolidating, and the daily market behavior pattern is not particularly positive, but it does have bullish implications. Market sentiment largely depends on the fundamental background
This week, the Fed is expected to hold a meeting on interest rates, where it will most likely decide to lower them, which could generally support the dollar (but this news is most likely already priced in). Accordingly, the rest depends on decisions regarding the shutdown, trade war, and inflation. The resolution of the first two issues may weaken the price.
As for the technical side, since the price is currently within the trading range, it is worth considering trading within these limits first. However, a breakout and closing above/below one of the key levels: 4060 - 4150 could trigger further movement in the direction of the breakout, which in turn could push the price into another (bearish or bullish) trading range. Below, there is the 4000 zone, and there is a possibility of a retest of this area, with a potentially aggressive reaction.
Resistance levels: 4150, 4218, 4275
Support levels: 4060, 4015, 3944
While uncertainty remains, the market may continue to hold the price between 4060 and 4150. Another retest of the range boundary and the reaction to this retest will show the market's intentions for further movement.
Best regards, R. Linda!
SOLANA → Consolidation before resistance. An attempt at growth?BINANCE:SOLUSDT.P is testing the resistance of the trading range, with pre-breakout consolidation forming, indicating that buyer interest in the coin is emerging.
Bitcoin looks positive, which sets a positive tone in the market. Solana is testing the resistance of consolidation at 194.50; a breakout and close above this level could trigger a distribution to 210.
Focus on local consolidation at 191-195. Before attempting to break through resistance, the coin price may test the zone of interest at 191 - 188.7. A false breakout could cause a shift in market potential in favor of the buyer, which in turn could trigger a breakout of 195 and growth.
Resistance levels: 194.5, 209
Support levels: 190.1, 188.7
A retest of resistance, consolidation after growth, and no reaction to bears are positive signs that a breakout attempt may be realized. A close above 194.5 - 195.0 would be a good sign for growth.
Sincerely, R. Linda!
GOLD → Retest 4060 within the range. What are the expectations?FX:XAUUSD is forming a correction from the Asian session, with the price testing the important 4060 zone ahead of two key events: US inflation data (CPI) and the results of US-China trade negotiations.
Key factors: US inflation (CPI): Low data will support gold (expectations of two cuts in 2024), but high figures will strengthen the USD and weaken gold (rates for a rate cut in December will decline).
Progress in negotiations between China and the US could weaken gold, while failure would bring back demand for safe havens. US sanctions against Russian oil are supporting oil prices and inflation expectations.
Gold is in wait-and-see mode. Growth is likely with weak CPI or a failure of negotiations. Strong CPI and progress in trade will reinforce the correction. The mood remains cautious ahead of events.
Resistance levels: 4090, 4150, 4163
Support levels: 4060, 4002
The important zone of 4060 - gold is forming a false breakdown. If the bulls hold their defense above this zone, it could trigger growth towards the resistance of the range. Otherwise, we can expect a retest of 4000K, and the reaction should be aggressive...
Best regards, R. Linda!
BITCOIN → Trend support broken. Consolidation...BINANCE:BTCUSDT.P is consolidating below the previously broken uptrend line. There are no clear signs of the correction ending or the presence of a strong bullish player. A retest of resistance is forming...
Bitcoin is forming a trading range of 111650 - 107377 (106270). There is no clear bullish pattern at the moment, and we are seeing a correction to resistance before a possible decline to the liquidity pool of 106270, which is formed by consolidation and a retest phase. There are two key zones ahead: 111650 and 113600. Resistance at 111650 has been confirmed, but if this zone does not hold the price, it will be necessary to monitor the upper boundary. A false breakout could trigger a pullback. The cryptocurrency market currently looks somewhat weak due to the phase of uncertainty and doubts about policy.
Resistance levels: 111650, 113600
Support levels: 108650, 107375, 106270
Market behavior indicates that a consolidation phase is currently developing within the local downtrend. A breakout of 113K and consolidation above 113500 could confirm a trend reversal, but there are no such signals at the moment. I consider a pullback to the zone of interest from resistance to be a priority.
Best regards, R. Linda!
