Bearish bar signals risk of deeper crude slideUnable to climb above the 50-day moving average and having just delivered an almighty bearish bar, is WTI crude about to revisit the October lows—an outcome that could put a retest of the YTD lows on the cards? With momentum indicators like RSI (14) and MACD swinging sharply lower, signaling building downside strength, the risk of such a move is growing. $58.00 is a minor level to watch near term, having acted as support and resistance at times last month. Should price trade beneath this level, shorts could be established on the break with a stop above for protection, targeting a run toward the October swing low of $56.00. The preference would be to see a back-test and rejection of the level before entry. While short setups are favored given recent price and momentum signals, should WTI manage to hold above $58.00 during Thursday’s session, the option would be there to flip the setup, allowing for longs with a stop beneath for protection. $60.00 screens as an appropriate initial target, even with the messy price action around it recently. Plenty of fundamental catalysts were bandied around to explain Wednesday’s abrupt drop, most linked to an EIA report warning of market oversupply. It undoubtedly contributed to the bearish move, but the seeds were sown well before the event given how poorly WTI traded at the 50DMA in recent weeks. Good luck! DS

Entry positioned within the re-test of the mid-range FVG / OB confluence zone. Target seeks completion of the macro inefficiency left from October’s selloff. 🔹 Execution Notes Trade executed on the retest of the bullish FVG with session volume confluence.

Key Confluences: 🧩Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) identified within the 0.75–0.25 retracement zone, acting as re-entry and mitigation areas. 🧩Breaker Block formation confirmed following BOS, validating bullish continuation setup. 🧩Volume expansion visible around 3550 region, signalling strong buy-side interest. 🧩Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) providing dynamic trend support near 3475 level. 📈Target Narrative: We assume that price aims to rebalance inefficiency toward the 3,800–3,850 liquidity zone, corresponding to prior unmitigated FVG and institutional range midpoint. 🔹 Narrative & Sentiment The setup reflects a buyside re-accumulation model emerging from deep discount levels post-sell climax. The corrective structure within the descending wedge aligns with the Wyckoff “Spring” and “Test” phase, suggesting smart money re-entry before expansion. Macro sentiment also supports ETH strength into mid-November amid rotational flow from BTC dominance cooldown and speculative positioning ahead of CPI data.

A W-shaped pattern is emerging, indicating a bullish outlook.#XAUUSD TVC:GOLD OANDA:XAUUSD Gold prices trended downwards during the Asian session, leading many to believe the market has begun to reverse. However, I disagree. As I clearly stated yesterday, as long as the key support level of 4075 is not broken, we will maintain our bullish outlook, and we will continue to follow this strategy today. From the hourly chart, gold prices are showing signs of forming a W pattern. If the neckline is broken, gold prices will continue to rise, testing the 4150-4160 range. A strong breakout could see prices reach 4180, or even 4200.

Smart Money Eyes Pi Coin Breakout; OBV, MACD Signal ShiftPi Coin’s price is pressing against the upper line of a symmetrical triangle, signaling a possible breakout attempt. The squeeze shows a tug between short-term sellers and early buyers trying to regain control. On the 12-hour chart, the Smart Money Index (SMI) has turned up for the first time since early November, showing renewed participation from large holders. If the price closes above $0.23, it could confirm a breakout and target $0.26–$0.27. A failure to hold $0.20 would reopen the path to $0.15. On the daily chart, the MACD — which tracks trend momentum — is flattening after weeks above its signal line, hinting that bullish pressure is fading. However, On-Balance Volume (OBV) is ticking higher, suggesting quiet accumulation beneath the surface. Pi Coin’s price stands at a technical pivot — smart money seems to be betting on a breakout, not a breakdown.

Long trade 📘 Trade Journal Entry Pair: ETHUSDT.P Date: Thu 7 Nov 2025 Session: London → New York AM Direction: Buy-side Trade Timeframe: 1 Hour 🔹 Trade Details Entry: 3202.91 Take Profit (TP): 3803.73 (+18.76 %) Stop Loss (SL): 3181.80 (–0.64 %) Risk / Reward (RR): 28.54 R 🔹 Market Context The structure shows a clear Selling Climax with heavy volume expansion, signalling the potential completion of the markdown leg. 🧾A Secondary Re-test at the 3200 base level confirms buyer absorption and shift in short-term order flow. 🧾The Consolidation Phase and Preliminary Stop above mark prior distribution range now serving as the target zone (premium liquidity pool). 🧾KAMA (MA) flattening suggests a transition from distribution to accumulation. 🧾Price defended the POI (Point of Interest) at ≈ approximately 3244, forming higher lows in the intraday structure — confirmation of buyside intent. 1Hr TF 🔹 Model Type Accumulation → Re-accumulation → Continuation Model 🧾The setup follows a textbook Wyckoff Accumulation: Selling Climax → Automatic Rally → Secondary Test → Spring → Markup. 🧾The Spring formed via liquidity sweep below 3200, reclaiming structure with strong close and volume support. 🔹 Execution Notes Entry refined at re-test of the spring low on volume tapering (sign of absorption). Risk confined below the Selling Climax wick. Target placed at prior consolidation premium zone (≈ 3.8 k) aligning with inefficiency fill. Volume profile and session timing support entry during London–New York overlap, consistent with institutional execution windows. 🔹 Trade Narrative This ETHUSDT setup captures a phase-transition shift from markdown into early markup. After the Selling Climax, the market re-tested structural demand at 3200 — confirming buyer presence. The confluence of liquidity sweep, volume divergence, and EMA / KAMA flattening provides a strong foundation for a buyside reversal. 🧩The trade aims to ride the short-term expansion leg toward the higher-timeframe premium zone, capturing displaced liquidity left by prior distribution. A clean break and close above 3.4 k would further confirm continuation toward the 3.8 k objective.

Nifty Analysis EOD – November 12, 2025 – Wednesday🟢 Nifty Analysis EOD – November 12, 2025 – Wednesday 🔴 Bulls Advance, But Pause at the Gate: 25920 Proves to be a Fortress! 🗞 Nifty Summary The Nifty continued its strong bullish journey with a massive 117-point Gap Up, opening above the previous day’s high and confirming a clear continuation of positive sentiment. While the index successfully reached and tested the target of 25920 outlined in yesterday’s commentary, it was unable to sustain the breakout. The slow, zigzag movement into this key resistance zone suggests supply is aggressively defending the 25920 ~ 25940 range. The close at 25,875.80 is still structurally bullish, sitting above the prior week’s high, but the bulls must find conviction to conquer the 25920 hurdle to unlock the next 26050 ~ 26100 expansion. 🛡 5 Min Intraday Chart with Levels 🛡 Intraday Walk The session commenced with a powerful 117-point Gap Up, immediately absorbing the aggressive buying from the previous session. Following a brief 40-point retrace that tested the 25790 support, Nifty sharply jumped around 80 points to the next resistance band of 25865. The index then consolidated with a slight pause between 25865 ~ 25880 before attempting a push toward 25920. This final leg of the upward journey was notably slow, characterized by smaller candles and a zigzag micro-trend, indicating diminishing conviction and resistance from sellers. The high was marked at 25,934.55 before the index pulled back slightly to close just below the key structural resistance. 📉 Daily Time Frame Chart with Intraday Levels 🕯 Daily Candle Breakdown Open: 25,834.30 High: 25,934.55 Low: 25,781.15 Close: 25,875.80 Change: +180.85 (+0.70%) 🏗️ Structure Breakdown Type: Bullish candle with moderately long, balanced wicks. Range (High–Low): ≈ 153.40 points — a tighter range than yesterday, suggesting consolidation. Body: ≈ 41.50 points — smaller body size, reflecting a loss of directional dominance near the close. Upper Wick: ≈ 58.75 points — indicating sellers defending the upper resistance band (25920+). Lower Wick: ≈ 53.15 points — confirming sustained buying interest on intraday dips. 📚 Interpretation The candle is essentially a Bullish Spinning Top, representing indecision or a temporary equilibrium near a major resistance area. While the overall close is positive (a higher high and a higher close), the relatively balanced wicks show strong two-way action. Buyers pushed aggressively, but sellers successfully capped the high at 25,934, confirming that the 25920-25940 zone is a significant supply barrier. 🕯 Candle Type Bullish Spinning Top — A continuation candle but signals a necessary pause before the next major move. It confirms the need for a decisive breakout before further vertical expansion. 🛡 5 Min Intraday Chart ⚔️ Gladiator Strategy Update ATR: 209.94 IB Range: 80.05 → Medium Market Structure: ImBalanced Trade Highlights: 10:34 Long Trade – Target Achieved (R:R 1:1.64) Trade Summary: The strategy capitalized successfully on the initial bullish continuation move following the gap-up. The lower volatility day, indicated by the medium IB range, limited the overall high R:R opportunities, but the core long trend was managed profitably. 🧱 Support & Resistance Levels Resistance Zones: 25920 ~ 25944 (Crucial Barrier) 25977 26050 26100 Support Zones: 25835 25790 25715 ~ 25680 🧠 Final Thoughts “The market rewards the patient general, not the emotional soldier.” Tomorrow’s session promises to be a tricky battlefield for intraday players. The current resistance at 25920 ~ 25944 is the gatekeeper. Discipline is paramount: either wait for a decisive, sustained breach and hold above 25920 for the continuation long trade, or wait for the market to fail the PDL and execute the counter-trend short trade with targets at 25715 ~ 25680. Don’t chase the slow moves—wait for confirmation at the structural levels. ✏️ Disclaimer This is just my personal viewpoint. Always consult your financial advisor before taking any action.

Nifty Analysis EOD – November 11, 2025 – Tuesday 🟢 Nifty Analysis EOD – November 11, 2025 – Tuesday 🔴 Bulls Launch a Massive 250-Point Recovery, Trapping Bears on Expiry Day! 🗞 Nifty Summary The session delivered an amazing recovery by the bulls, creating classic bear traps on this expiry day. The market’s ability to recover 250 points non-stop from the lows and close strongly at 25705.55, near the day’s high, confirms the return of powerful bullish conviction. Crucially, we achieved the close above 25650 that was anticipated in yesterday’s commentary. The long lower wick structure confirms demand is aggressive at dips. We now anticipate a further extension of the continuation move in the next session. 🛡 Intraday Walk Nifty opened with a 45-point Gap Up, landing exactly at the immediate resistance zone of 25615 ~ 25635. Following the first tick, the index slipped sharply by around 150 points, breaching the PDL before the Initial Balance (IB) could even form. This initial sell-off flipped sentiment bearish for a short period. The aggressive slide was halted precisely at our important support zone of 25440 ~ 25460, where strong demand emerged. From this support, the index executed a non-stop, powerful recovery of 250 points, systematically breaching the PDC, CDH, the 25615 ~ 25635 resistance, and the PDH. This sustained upward move carried the index to the next key resistance level of 25715. The day ultimately closed at 25705.55, just shy of the day’s high, confirming a highly bullish structural close. 🛡 5 Min Intraday Chart with Levels 📉 Daily Time Frame Chart with Intraday Levels 🕯 Daily Candle Breakdown Open: 25,617.00 High: 25,715.80 Low: 25,449.25 Close: 25,694.95 Change: +120.60 (+0.47%) 🏗️ Structure Breakdown Type: Bullish candle with a long lower wick. Range (High–Low): ≈ 266.55 points — a wide and active trading range, indicative of high intraday volatility. Body: ≈ 77.95 points — moderate body size. Lower Wick: ≈ 167.75 points — a strong sign of aggressive buying and demand resurgence from lower levels. Upper Wick: ≈ 20.85 points — limited resistance near the high, enabling a strong close. 📚 Interpretation Price opened near mid-range, dipped sharply toward 25,449, but buyers stepped in aggressively, rejecting the lower prices and lifting the index almost to the day’s high. The long lower shadow confirms high demand and the rejection of the deep intraday sell-off. Closing near the upper end solidifies bullish momentum and significantly improved sentiment. 🕯 Candle Type This session formed a Bullish Pin Bar (Hammer-like candle) in an up-move. This candlestick suggests renewed buying strength and strong follow-through after the previous session’s bullish commitment. 🛡 5 Min Intraday Chart ⚔️ Gladiator Strategy Update ATR: 206.65 IB Range: 150.95 → Medium Market Structure: ImBalanced Trade Highlights: 10:09 Long Trade – SL Hit 10:15 Short Trade - Target Achieved (R:R 1:1.64) 12:21 Long Trade - Target Achieved (R:R 1:3.36) Trade Summary: The early volatility led to an immediate Stop Loss, but the strategy quickly recovered with a profitable short trade and then successfully capitalized on the strong, sustained bullish reversal later in the day. 🧱 Support & Resistance Levels Resistance Zones: 25790 25865 ~ 25880 25920 Support Zones: 25635 ~ 25615 25585 25550 🧠 Final Thoughts “On expiry, the longest wicks are often the graves of aggressive shorts and the foundations for the next rally.” Today’s action teaches a crucial lesson: do not trade the emotion of the gap. The sharp initial dip was a perfect bear trap on expiry. The non-stop 250-point recovery emphasizes the importance of waiting for price to stabilize near structural support (like 25440) before committing. For motivation, the recovery from an early SL shows that discipline and sticking to the trend reversal signals pay off with high-R:R opportunities. ✏️ Disclaimer This is just my personal viewpoint. Always consult your financial advisor before taking any action.
