AUD/JPY: Exhaustion at The High?AUD/JPY briefly traded at a 16-month high on Thursday before reversing lower. At current levels it’s on track to form a spinning-top doji on the weekly chart, and it has already printed a shooting-star candle on the daily at the November high and monthly S1 pivot. Given the multi-week bearish RSI divergence and false breakout at the highs, the bias is for some mean reversion towards at least the 20-day EMA. The 100 handle and 50-day EMA near the January high also make viable downside targets for bears, should the yen enjoy a bout of risk-on strength. Matt Simpson, Market Analyst at City Index.

BITCOIN ON MOUNTLYHello everyone, I’ve been reviewing Bitcoin on the monthly timeframe and analyzing its local lows, and the results turned out to be quite interesting. Since the major correction in December 2017, Bitcoin has shown recurring corrective structures on this timeframe. When measuring the drawdowns from cycle tops, we typically see corrections in the 70–80% range. Also, before each major downturn, the price tends to form two local lows, with the second one usually providing traders a final opportunity to exit. This year, based on both historical behaviour and current market dynamics, we’re seeing a similar pattern develop. Considering these factors, I expect the market to remain bearish for at least the next nine months. I see the current potential bottom near $58,800, and if this level breaks, the maximum correction could bring Bitcoin down into the $29–33K range. On the upside, the $93–102K zone remains, in my view, the most favorable range for exiting the market. Wishing you all success.

Nifty Analysis EOD – November 20, 2025 – Thursday🟢 Nifty Analysis EOD – November 20, 2025 – Thursday 🔴 Bullish Extension Continues, Nifty Just 29 Points Away from All-Time High! 🗞 Nifty Summary The Nifty opened with an 83-point Gap Up, confidently trading above the Previous Day’s High (PDH). The initial few minutes saw the gap fill, finding solid support exactly at the PDH level. The index then consolidated for about 90 minutes near the CDH + IBH, forming a narrow 20-25 point range. Following this pause, Nifty resumed its upward march with steady “baby steps,” successfully breaching the crucial 26220 resistance level and marking the day’s high at 26,246.65. Although unable to sustain above 26220, leading to a sharp, volatile slip back, the index closed strongly at 26,192.15, adding +139.50 points (+0.54%) from the previous day’s close. This was a clear bullish extension day, achieving the targets aimed for yesterday, though the lack of participation from small-cap and mid-cap segments remains a point of caution. We are now merely 29 points away from marking a new All-Time High (ATH). 🛡 5 Min Intraday Chart with Levels 🛡 Intraday Walk The session was defined by an initial deep gap-up, followed by the gap-fill and strong defense of the PDH, confirming the bullish bias. The mid-session consolidation was a low-volume affair, acting as a spring for the second leg of the upward rally. The move through 26220 was aggressive, but the quick rejection from the high indicated strong supply at the historical peak levels. The final closing level, however, remains robust, signaling that overall control is with the buyers, and the primary objective is the ATH. 📉 Daily Time Frame Chart with Intraday Levels 🕯 Daily Candle Breakdown Open: 26,132.10 High: 26,246.65 Low: 26,063.20 Close: 26,192.15 Change: +139.50 (+0.54%) 🏗️ Structure Breakdown Type: Bullish candle. Range (High–Low): ≈ 183 points — healthy, broad intraday movement. Body: ≈ 60 points — showing controlled but steady bullish strength. Upper Wick: ≈ 54 points — indicating profit-booking or resistance near the 26220 high. Lower Wick: ≈ 69 points — strong buying from lower levels, confirming demand on dips. 📚 Interpretation The strong opening and consistent follow-through buying throughout the day confirm the prevailing bullish trend. Although the upper wick is substantial, reflecting the failure to sustain the breakout above 26220, the close is well above the open and previous major resistance levels. This indicates that while bears defended the immediate high, they were unable to shift the overall market structure. 🕯 Candle Type Bullish Candle with Both-Side Wicks (Buyers Dominant) — This is a strong continuation signal, confirming the control of the bulls despite minor overhead resistance. 🛡 5 Min Intraday Chart ⚔️ Gladiator Strategy Update ATR: 196.67 IB Range: 72.8 → Medium Market Structure: ImBalanced Trade Highlights: 10:05 Long Trade - Target Hit (R:R 1:3.13) 12:24 Long Trade - Target Hit (R:R 1:3.96) Trade Summary: The strategy performed exceptionally well today, capitalising on the clear directional moves after the initial range-bound phase. The two high R:R long trades captured the core bullish extension of the day. 🧱 Support & Resistance Levels Resistance Zones: 26220 (Immediate Resistance) 26277 (All-Time High) Support Zones: 26135 (Gap Fill Zone) 26104 ~ 26075 (Critical Intraday Support) 26063 ~ 26040 26000 (Psychological Support) 25950 ~ 25940 🧠 Final Thoughts “The final frontier is 26,277.” The market is in clear bullish territory, with all major resistance levels below 26220 successfully converted into support. The primary focus for the next session is the All-Time High at 26,277. A decisive breach and close above this level will trigger strong momentum. If the market fails to breach the ATH, we may see a slight correction toward the 26135 support zone before the next attempt. Traders must remain mindful that non-participation from the broader market (mid/small-caps) could eventually lead to market breadth deterioration. ✏️ Disclaimer This is just my personal viewpoint. Always consult your financial advisor before taking any action.

USDJPY – Waiting for H1 CHoCH After Daily Supply RejectionAfter reacting from the Daily Supply Zone, USDJPY is now showing signs of slowing momentum on H1. This region is the decision point: either we see a confirmed structural break (CHoCH), or price continues pushing upward into unmitigated liquidity. Execution Plan: – Wait for an H1 candle-body close below the last bullish swing high – Let price retrace into the newly-formed H1 supply – Refine on M15/M5 for entry – No shorts without structural confirmation If price reclaims the high instead of breaking down, the bearish idea becomes invalid and the bullish trend continues, and we can look at the further SO POINT. Patience here is key.

Bitcoin Daily Analysis – November 20 | Two Clear ScenarioHey everyone! Hope you're having an amazing and profitable day! 🌟 Today is Thursday, 20 November, and as always, here’s your fresh Bitcoin analysis. The Fear & Greed Index is at 15 — which means the market is deep in extreme fear. 😨 And as we know… extreme fear often creates big opportunities. 🔍 A Very Important Note Before We Begin This latest rejection from the $88K level happened while Bitcoin dominance was rising — meaning BTC led the move upward, not altcoins. This detail matters a lot for today’s scenarios. Now let’s break everything down 👇 🟥 Scenario A — Bullish Structure Building (Risky but High Potential) Looking at the 4H timeframe, yesterday’s rejection was actually stronger than the previous one. But here’s the interesting part: The sellers’ attack was weaker → smaller candles → lower volume The bullish engulfing candle we formed afterward was stronger AND higher volume than the last one. So… is this enough to go LONG immediately? 👉 No. It’s not. Because on the daily timeframe, sellers still have control, and I need buyers to prove their strength one more time before entering. ✔️ What I need to see: If Bitcoin creates a 1-hour higher low, and then breaks the previous rejection high, I will open a long position, even though it’s a bit risky. Why? Because this level has huge potential if buyers step in. If we get that setup, I expect a reaction at higher resistance levels — but I will try to hold the position as long as buyers stay in control. ❓ What if price pumps without building a clean structure? No problem. I already have a long position on ASTER, and if another altcoin inside my strategy gives me an entry setup, I’ll take that instead. Still, I prefer to take one controlled long here, even if I get stopped out — that’s part of the plan. 🟦 Scenario B — The Market Goes Sideways & Ranges If Bitcoin decides to range in this area until the end of the week, then two things are very likely to happen: $90,500 will get tested $93,500 will also get tested And whichever level breaks after the range will give us an excellent entry — long or short. 💥 What if a sharp drop happens? If Bitcoin dumps sharply from here, I won’t open any short on BTC itself. Instead, I’ll look to short altcoins, because they fall harder and faster than Bitcoin during panic. And of course, I’ll keep risk small and stops even smaller. 🧠 Overall Market Approach Right now, the market isn’t in a condition where I want to take big risks. And that’s exactly what I recommend to you as well: 👉 Avoid emotional trades 👉 Respect your risk management 👉 Focus on survival, not perfection Opportunities always come — but only traders who stay in the market long enough can catch them. Thank you so much for reading today’s analysis! 🙏 Wishing you a day full of profits, clarity, and blessings! 💛✨ Stay disciplined, stay patient, and stay sharp. Good luck, traders! 🚀📊

Gold – Outperforming During Market UncertaintyThe price of Gold has wobbled at times this week under the pressure of a period of broad-based risk aversion that can at times force traders to unwind popular positions to balance their portfolios, but it hasn’t yet buckled! In fact, after opening on Monday around 4080 and initially selling off with global stock indices and crypto currencies to a low of 3998 early on Tuesday morning, Gold briefly recovered to touch a high of 4132 on Wednesday before moving back down to trade closer to opening levels around 4075 (0630 GMT) Part of the resilience of Gold could be long term investors and central banks buying the dip as a diversification away from the dollar as their main safe haven asset, but it could also be down to an unstable global growth outlook, with the US and Chinese economies at potential crucial inflection points, concerns about financial risks in the private credit sector, as well as on-going geo-political uncertainty. However, Gold’s resilience may be about to face a sterner challenge of a surging US dollar. Overnight, while stronger than expected Q3 earnings and sales forecasts from NVIDIA have helped stabilise risk sentiment in the short term, the Federal Reserve minutes of their October rate meeting showed that Fed officials were leaning towards keeping rates unchanged for the rest of the year. As a rule, a lower interest rate environment is supportive of Gold prices as it is a non-interest-bearing asset and vice versa. Not only that, this hawkish tilt from the Fed minutes has seen the US dollar rally, a move that can also weigh on Gold which is priced in dollars, as it makes it more expensive for foreign investors. Further US dollar strength could be an area of concern moving into the release of the delayed September Non-farm payrolls report later today at 1330 GMT. This data may provide traders with more clarity about how quickly the US labour market is slowing, with an increased potential for greater swings in Gold prices as traders readjust positions for what the data could mean for the prospects of future Federal Reserve policy and the US dollar. Gold Technical Update: Is This April to July 2025 All Over Again? Gold hit an all‑time high of 4381 in October, but since then price action has been choppy, with a sharp 11.25% two‑week sell‑off into the recent lows. This kind of consolidation can often follow strong acceleration phases, raising the question of whether the popular metal is now entering a similar corrective pattern to the one seen between April and July 2025, when repeated swings and sideways trading dominated price action. Between April and July 2025, Gold surged to a high of 3500, before a sharp 11% sell‑off took price down to the 3120 May low. From there, the market shifted into a sideways consolidation phase, unwinding the earlier upside price overextension. This pause allowed the Bollinger mid‑average to ‘catch up’ with price, providing a support base. Once the average was tested, fresh price strength emerged to resume the broader uptrend. It’s worth stressing that while Gold consolidated between April and July, there’s no certainty the same pattern will repeat now. What history does show is that consolidation phases often act to unwind both upside and downside extremes, and that risk could be present in Gold over the coming days, weeks, or even months, as the market digests the recent volatility. Possible Shorter Term Support /Resistance Over Payrolls: While longer‑term risks point to possible consolidation, the short‑term focus in Gold is could be shaped by today’s September Payrolls release. This event could trigger price volatility, making it important to track daily support and resistance levels. Traders may be monitoring how price reacts around these key levels, as they may define the immediate directional bias. Potential Support Levels: The latest price weakness from the 4245 November 13th high has so far found support at the daily Bollinger mid‑average, currently at 4042. This level appears to be helping stabilise price activity and even seeing signs of recovery, keeping it as an important short‑term reference point. With the 4042-level established as the first potential support on Thursday, it may be monitored if weakness develops. A break below 4042 could open scope for further declines toward 3998, the November 18th low, and potentially to 3887, which is the October 28th low. b]Potential Resistance Levels: With a rally emerging from the support at 4042, traders could now be monitoring the November 13th high at 4245 as the first resistance. Since selling pressure has recently capped strength at this level, a closing break above 4245 may be needed to suggest further attempts at upside momentum. A break above 4245 might lead to renewed strength, with the focus then possibly shifting toward the October 20th all‑time high at 4381 as the next key resistance level. Today’s payrolls release could see increased short‑term price volatility, bringing daily support and resistance levels into focus. However, unless the data provides a clear directional signal, the broader risk backdrop could suggest Gold continues its consolidation, unwinding the recent over‑extended upside conditions further.

GBP/AUD: Upside Potential from High Volume ZoneCurrent Situation: GBP/AUD price reached the resistance level at 2.03417, where limit players halted the upward movement and pushed the price down into a high volume zone. A small reversal structure is forming in this area, indicating a possible resumption of growth. Primary Scenario: We expect continuation of upward movement from the current support zone. The presence of an unfilled gap above confirms the probability of price attraction to these levels. The high volume zone serves as a platform for building buying interest from institutional participants. Target Levels: Primary target: filling the gap above current levels Secondary target: updating the high around 2.03417 and beyond Alternative Scenario: If price fails to hold within the high volume zone and breaks below it with increased selling volume, this will invalidate the bullish scenario and open the path for a deeper correction. Trading Plan: Entry Zone: Current high volume zone (position already opened) Key Resistance: 2.03417 Support Level: Lower boundary of the high volume zone Position Management: Monitor price development in the reversal zone. Upon confirmation of upward movement, partial profit-taking is recommended as price approaches the 2.03417 level, followed by trailing the remaining position. Risk Management: Stop-loss should be placed below the high volume zone to protect against the alternative scenario realization.

Momentum Weak Despite Nvidia BoostShould small-cap U.S. equities be rallying because AI giant Nvidia just delivered another blowout earnings update? Sure, risk sentiment has improved, and continued AI investment comes with some immediate broader economic benefits, but the move still comes across as a little suspect, especially with the prospect of near-term Fed rate cuts dwindling by the day. While the price signals for our small-cap contract are pointing to upside risks, momentum indicators are not confirming, suggesting selling into strength may be the way to play it, especially if we see a reversal pattern. Looking at the daily chart, we see a clear morning star bullish reversal pattern printed this week, with follow-through buying after the Nvidia results. However, as was the case in the prior session, the price has been unable to take out 2380 so far, marking the low struck on November 7. It’s only a minor level, but it has seen price action on either side of it this month, making it relevant when assessing setups. Despite the bullish price signal, RSI (14) and MACD remain firmly bearish. RSI continues to trend lower beneath 50, indicating downside pressure remains even if it’s weakened a touch in recent days. MACD also sits in negative territory, having already crossed the signal line from above in late October. It too is showing signs of turning, but for now the combined message remains one where selling into strength may be the better way to play it. Should the price be unable to breach and hold above 2380, shorts could be considered beneath the level with a stop above for protection, targeting 2327 support initially. Should that and Tuesday’s low give way, 2275 or 2242 screen as other downside targets. Of course, if the price can push above and hold 2380, longs could also be considered, allowing for a stop to be placed beneath to protect against reversal. Such a move may see momentum indicators tilt neutral rather than bearish. If that were to occur, the merits of long trades would be improved. 2400, where the price was capped prior to the latest leg lower, looks as an appropriate initial target, with the 50DMA the next after that. Good luck! DS
