Long trade 5min TF overview and entry Pair YGG Buyside trade LND Session AM Thu 15th Jan 26 4.15 am Entry 0.07274 Profit level 0.07274 (5.52%) Stop level 0.06878 (25.4%) RR 25.4 Neutral → Bearish corrective within a broader bullish impulse The price is transitioning from expansion into distribution, with sell-side pressure emerging after the buy-side objective was achieved. 🧠 Structural & Liquidity Read Price delivered a strong bullish expansion from the sell-side drawdown low, efficiently rebalancing multiple FVGs. The rally fulfilled a buy-side objective, reaching into premium pricing relative to the prior dealing range. Following the expansion, the price failed to hold above the London/NY highs, signalling buy-side liquidity exhaustion. The rejection from highs shows distribution behaviour, not continuation. Narrative Summary Price completed a bullish expansion phase, efficiently delivering into buy-side liquidity resting above prior session highs. Subsequent failure to hold premium pricing, combined with NY session rejection and volume acceptance below the high-volume node, signals distribution rather than continuation. Current sentiment favours a bearish corrective phase or consolidation until sell-side liquidity is sufficiently rebalanced.

Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) Demand Zone Reversal HPCL has shown a strong price reaction from a well-defined demand zone, indicating active accumulation at lower levels. The stock has respected this support area multiple times, suggesting downside exhaustion. From a macro perspective, easing concerns around the global crude oil supply—supported by improving diplomatic dialogue with Iran—have reduced pressure on oil prices. This acts as a sentiment tailwind for OMCs, including HPCL. Technically, price action indicates: Potential downtrend reversal with higher buying interest near support Improving structure after prolonged corrective phase Early momentum shift favoring bulls if price sustains above the demand zone If follow-through buying continues, HPCL may attempt a pullback rally towards nearby resistance levels. However, failure to hold the demand zone could invalidate the reversal and resume the broader downtrend. Trade Outlook: Bias: Cautiously Bullish Key Zone to Watch: Demand support area Confirmation: Sustained price action above short-term resistance with volume Note: Trade with proper risk management and confirmation, as broader market sentiment remains a key variable.

#GBPAUD ShortI believe there is a short coming for GA is Friday/ end of the week. Usually, Fridays a bit tricky and risky but at times it continues the trend of Thursday close, and as of now is a strong bearish. Even though I like catching pullbacks, I just believe on a Friday, it will just liquidate is current trend and try to set up the bullish move next week. There is also no price down there in recent months which means orders are waiting to get tapped in and most of them are going to be sell stops because if price falls to that area everyone will predict it will fall as it creating new lows, until the market makers liquidate those sell stops and buy out those orders and push price bullish, while trapping retail traders and small banks. reversing the trend and there planning this move friday to set them up next week.

CBA To Bounce from Support?With the risk of Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) hikes rising, the ASX financials sector could face further pressure ahead. I therefore retain my bias that CBA will eventually break below 150. For now, however, it continues to hold above this level while the broader ASX enjoys a materials-led bounce. The longer support holds, the greater the chance CBA attempts to close the gap with the ASX over the near term — provided the index itself does not roll over. CBA remains above support despite Wednesday’s high-volume bearish candle, and a bullish pin bar has since formed. Bulls could look to fade dips within Thursday’s range for a minor counter-trend move towards the 156.10 high. A break above this level would open the door to a move towards 160. Beyond that, I will continue to look for evidence of a swing high, in anticipation of an eventual break below 150. Matt Simpson, Market Analyst at City Index

Pullback in Financial ETFThe State Street Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF hit a new high last week, and now it’s pulled back. The first pattern on today’s chart is October 3's final price of $53.72. XLF stayed below that weekly close most of the fourth quarter, stalling there in mid-November before breaking out in December. XLF tested that level yesterday before bouncing, which may suggest that old resistance has become new support. Second, Wednesday’s rebound from lows produced a “hammer” candlestick. That’s a potentially bullish reversal pattern. Third, the bounce occurred at roughly 50 percent of the distance between the November low and the high earlier this month. It’s also near the 50-day simple moving average (SMA). Do those points confirm its direction is pointing higher? Next, the 20-day SMA is above the 50-day SMA. Both are higher than the 100- and 200-day SMAs. Such a sequence, with faster SMAs above the slower SMAs, may indicate a bullish long-term trend. Finally, stochastics have dipped near oversold territory.   Standardized Performances for the ETF mentioned above: SPDR Select Sector Financial ETF (XLF) 1-year: +13.33% 5-years: +85.79% 10-year: +183.05% (As of December 31, 2025) Exchange Traded Funds ("ETFs") are subject to management fees and other expenses.
