Next Stop 3420? Gold Bulls Push the Limit!Gold has shown a step-by-step rise in the short term, and has stood above 3,400 many times, and the bullish force is relatively strong. However, correspondingly, after gold stood above 3400, it fell under pressure several times, so the shape was not particularly good, which increased the risk of pullback in the short term.
However, we do not need to worry. Gold is still running in an ascending wedge structure. Although it has been under pressure and fallen back several times during the attack on 3400, the bullish structure has not been effectively destroyed so far. Moreover, with the sharp increase in gold buying, the 3380-3370 area below has become an obvious intensive trading area, which has greatly limited the gold retracement space.
In addition, after gold broke through 3340, market sentiment tended to be optimistic. If gold experiences a short-term pullback, more funds will flow into the gold market, especially for those who have missed out on long trades before, who will rush into the gold market even more frantically. Under the resonance of the current technical structure and market optimism, gold still has the potential to hit 3400, and bulls are even expected to stand firm at 3400 and make further efforts.
So in terms of short-term trading, I still advocate that gold pullbacks are buying opportunities. And I cherish the opportunity to enter the market and go long in the 3385-3375 area, and am optimistic that gold will hit 3400 again, and may even continue the bull trend to the 3420-3430 area.

Nifty Analysis EOD – August 8, 2025 – Friday🟢 Nifty Analysis EOD – August 8, 2025 – Friday 🔴
From Yesterday’s Glory to Today’s Gloom — Bulls Knocked Off the Board
Today’s market was a textbook case of how quickly momentum can flip. Yesterday’s 289-point bullish surge was completely erased, with Nifty ending deep in the red and closing at the day’s low. Sellers clearly had the upper hand, leaving little room for bulls to breathe.
🗞 Nifty Summary
Friday opened with a 65-point gap-down — right below the crucial 24,580 support zone — and that level instantly showed rejection.
In the first 45 minutes, Nifty slipped 150 points from the day high and 200 points from the previous day high. The key Fibonacci retracement level from yesterday’s range — 24,406 ~ 24,412 — played the role of intraday savior multiple times, offering support and holding the market within a narrow zone for most of the day.
However, the bulls’ defense cracked after 3:00 PM. The support broke, triggering a sharp slide below 24,380 and even the Previous Day Low (PDL).
The upside was capped by 24,470 ~ 24,460, while 24,406 ~ 24,412 remained the battleground for most of the day until the breakdown.
In a single session, yesterday’s dramatic 289-point recovery rally was completely erased — with Nifty closing at the bottom of the PDL and CDL.
Today’s close is now below the low of 12th May, marking a 64-session (88-day) low.
Now the question for Monday: will bearish momentum extend, or will some positive news bring bulls back into play?

💬 Final Thoughts
"Markets don’t turn on hope — they turn on price. Respect the levels, and let price lead the story."
Bulls had the glory on Thursday, but Friday flipped the script completely. The market now sits at a multi-month low — momentum favors bears, but Monday’s open will decide if we see follow-through selling or a sharp dead-cat bounce.

Mastering bearish candlestick patterns - How to use it!Bearish candlestick patterns are a cornerstone of technical analysis, relied upon by traders across financial markets to assess the likelihood of price reversals or continued downward trends. At their core, these patterns are visual representations of shifts in market sentiment, formed by the open, high, low, and close prices over one or several trading sessions. When recognized accurately and interpreted in context, bearish candlestick setups can alert market participants to the fading strength of buyers and the increasing presence of sellers, which often precedes downward price movements. Expanding on this, a comprehensive understanding of each pattern’s nuances, psychological underpinnings, and optimal trading applications can significantly enhance a trader’s analytical toolkit.

- How to trade the bearish candlestick patterns?
Shooting star
The shooting star pattern stands as a prominent candlestick configuration foreshadowing potential bearish reversals after an uptrend. This single-candle pattern is distinguished by a small real body situated near the lower end of the price range, a long upper shadow that is at least twice the length of the body, and little to no lower shadow. The psychological narrative implied by the shooting star is compelling: buyers initially control the session, pushing prices sharply higher, but by the close, sellers have overwhelmed this optimism, pulling the price back down to near or below the opening point. This abrupt shift in control suggests that the bullish momentum is waning, priming the market for a price correction or reversal.
Hanging man
The hanging man, while visually similar to the hammer pattern of bullish reversals, is distinctly bearish because of its position at the top of an established uptrend. This single-candle pattern features a small body at the upper part of the trading range and a markedly long lower shadow, again with minimal or absent upper shadow. During the session, substantial selling pressure drives prices down, accounting for the extended lower shadow, yet buyers temporarily regain some control, recovering much of the loss by the close. Despite this late-session recovery, the appearance of the hanging man warns traders that sellers are growing more aggressive – especially if the next candle confirms the weakness with a lower close.
Gravestone doji
A classic and somewhat ominous formation, the gravestone doji is a specialized form of doji candlestick that carries even greater weight when it appears after a rising market. Here, the open, close, and low are all clustered near the session’s low, forming a long upper shadow with no lower shadow. This structure vividly illustrates a dramatic shift in sentiment: buyers propel prices higher during the session, only to be met by intense selling which pushes prices back to the opening level by the close. This failed rally, marked by the upper wick, reflects the exhaustion of buying interest and the potential onset of bearish dominance.
Bearish engulfing
Turning to multi-candle setups, the bearish engulfing pattern is a powerful, two-bar reversal pattern. The initial candle is bullish and typically a continuation of the prevailing uptrend, but the second candle is bearish and must open above and close below the body of the first candle, “engulfing” it completely. The transition from a relatively small upward move to a much larger downward move highlights a rapid escalation in sell-side enthusiasm. Importantly, the larger the second candle and the greater the volume accompanying it, the more reliable the signal.
Evening star
The evening star expands the analysis further into a three-candlestick formation, representing a storyline of shifting market dynamics. The pattern commences with a long bullish candle, followed by an indecisive small candle (the star) that gaps above the previous close, and concludes with a large bearish candle that closes deep into the first candle’s body. The evening star is especially meaningful because it narrates a transition from bullish exhaustion to bearish control over three sessions, making it a robust signal of a pending trend reversal. The reliability of the evening star increases if the bearish candle is accompanied by high volume, confirming a surge in selling pressure.
Three black crows
Among the most striking bearish signals is the three black crows pattern. It comprises three consecutive large bearish candles, each opening within the body of the previous candle and closing successively lower. This pattern demonstrates relentless selling over several sessions, erasing prior gains and indicating that bearish sentiment is in full swing. Collectively, the three black crows can shift market psychology significantly when they appear after a lengthy uptrend, especially if accompanied by increased trading volume.
How to trade the bearish candlestick patterns?
Effectively using bearish candlestick patterns in a trading strategy requires more than mere recognition of shapes. The context in which these patterns emerge matters greatly; traders should analyze preceding price action, the scope of the trend, and any converging signals from other technical tools such as momentum oscillators or volume indicators. Confirmation is a best practice, waiting for a subsequent session that continues in the bearish direction can filter out false signals and decrease the chances of whipsaw trades.
In practice, traders may use these patterns to identify short-selling opportunities, define entry and exit points, or adjust stop-loss levels to protect profits as a trend appears to reverse. Risk management is crucial, as no pattern is infallible. Position sizing, stop-loss placement, and ongoing evaluation of the broader market environment all contribute to the prudent use of candlestick analysis. By integrating these patterns into a comprehensive market analysis framework, traders are better positioned to interpret crowd psychology, anticipate significant reversals, and navigate the complexities of price movement with a higher degree of confidence and skill.

The trend has not changed, go long and look for new highs#XAUUSD
Gold fluctuated at a high level in the Asian session, and the market has not yet taken a clear direction. Despite the current market conditions being extremely flat, caution remains regarding the potential for wider volatility after a breakout above key levels. The current short-term resistance area above gold is 3400-3410. With the breakthrough of yesterday's high today, the short-term support level will also move up. The middle track of the Bollinger band at the hourly level below has also risen to around 3390. The focus of the European session is whether gold can effectively break through the short-term suppression. If the European session is under pressure and encounters resistance, then gold may have a correction. It can be considered to retreat to the 3390-3378 area below and stabilize before lightly long gold to see new highs. Be wary of potential black swan events on Friday.
Gold Poised for a Surge: 3400 in Sight, 3430 Within ReachToday, gold retreated to a low of around 3350 before rebounding again, reaching a high of around 3390. During this process, we seized the opportunity to go long on gold near 3356 and closed the trade by successfully hitting TP: 3380, making a profit of 240 pips!
Although gold retreated after reaching 3390, I had originally planned to short gold near 3395, but gold didn't reach that level during the rally, so our shorting plan had to be shelved. Currently, it's trading in a narrow range around 3380. Clearly, I'm not considering shorting gold after a pullback.
Although gold retreated to around 3350 during the day, it did not destroy the current bullish structure of gold. In addition, gold regained the 3370-3375 area again during the rebound, and the gold bulls became even stronger. Therefore, I have now lost the desire and interest to short gold. Gold has currently reached a high near 3390. Given its current structure and strength, I don't believe 3390 is the current high. Gold is likely to attempt to break through 3400, and even has the potential to continue its rise to the 3420-3430 range. As the center of gravity of gold shifts upward, the current short-term support has moved up to the 3375-3365 area; and the relatively strong support is located in the 3360-3350 area.
Therefore, for short-term trading, I prefer to start trying to go long on gold after it retreats to the 3375-3365 area, and expect gold to hit 3400 as expected, or even continue to the 3420-3430 area.
EUR/CHF Bulls Test Range Highs Following Sharp ReboundEUR/CHF sits just beneath the top of the range it’s been trading in over the past three months, providing a variety of potential setups depending on how the near-term price action evolves.
The bullish engulfing candle on the daily chart last Friday set the tone for the price action seen this week, sparking a significant bullish reversal after a false break of .9300 support. The subsequent move saw the price take out resistance at .9363 before stalling at .9429—a level that capped the pair in June.
Given recent price action, traders should be on alert for a potential extension of the bullish move.
Should we see a break and close above .9429, it would allow for longs to be established with a stop beneath for protection, targeting resistance at .9500. Offers may be encountered just beneath .9450, presenting a potential hurdle for bulls along the way.
Alternatively, if the pair cannot break .9429 meaningfully, the setup could be flipped with shorts established beneath the level with a stop above for protection. Potential targets include .9363 or .9300.
Momentum indicators have skewed bullish over the past week, with RSI (14) trending higher but not yet overbought, while MACD has crossed the signal line and now sits in positive territory. It’s not a roaring endorsement for a bullish bias, but it does favour upside rather than downside in the near term.

📌 Technical Context
Entry Zone: The trade was initiated after observing a sell-side liquidity sweep, followed by an internal break of structure (BOS), which supported the shift toward bullish intent. The trade aligns with a Wyckoff-style accumulation schematic, with a Phase C spring-type event visible. We anticipate that Phase D — a trending move within the range — is now underway.
Bullish Outlook Intact: Gold Targeting 3400-3410Gold encountered resistance and retreated several times on its way to 3400, but it remained above 3370 during the pullback, perfectly maintaining the integrity of its volatile upward trend. Therefore, even though gold's upward momentum has weakened, I still believe that due to structural support, gold still has the potential to reach the 3400-3410 area, and may even continue its bullish trend to the 3420-3430 area.
As gold prices rise, market sentiment tends to be more optimistic, and the price behavior reflected by the candlestick chart becomes clearer. The lows of gold continue to rise, and the highs always insist on setting new highs in the process of rising. The oscillating upward structure is particularly obvious. While greatly limiting the retracement space, it also greatly consolidates the support structure below and is conducive to further rises in gold. At present, gold has been confirmed to have stabilized above 3370, so gold may not give another chance to fall back to the 3360-3350 area.
Then in the next short-term trading, the gold pullback is a buying opportunity. We focus on the opportunity to participate in long gold after gold retreats to 3380-3370. The target will first look at the 3400-3410 area, and the higher target area is in the 3420-3430 area.
Auto Index has consolidated and might be in search of a BreakoutCNX Auto Index has consolidated for a long time in the range of 22800 and 24250 since May 25. If the index can cross the resistance zone between 23828 and 24221 and if we get a weekly closing above 24221 or 24250 then we might see a rally in this index towards 25K or even near 26K. Currently the index closed on Thursday at 23808. Lot of Auto and Auto component companies gave good results during the last quarter.
When the index is strong and gives a breakout it means that the undercurrent in majority of the companies which constitute the index is strong. There will be some companies which will obviously drag the index down as there can not be one way traffic. To know amongst these which companies to invest in an investor should look at fundamentals of the company, recent and past results, cash flows, Sales and order books, EPS and many other factors. While a Technical investor should look at charts of the companies before investing.
A smart investor would be a person who looks at both fundamentals and technicals of the company and invests in a fundamentally strong company which is giving a technical breakout. For this one has to learn Techno-Funda analysis. I have written a book on the subject called The Happy Candles Way To Wealth Creation. In this book you will learn the basics of Techno-Funda investing. The book is available on Amazon and is one of the highest rated books in its category. With an approval rating of 4.8/5 as on date. Lot of investors call it as a Hand book for Techno Funda investing. Most of the chapters are standalone and can be read at your own accord. It will be really helpful to you.
The companies that constitute this index are Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, M&M, MRF, TI India, Exide, Samvardhana Motherson, Ashok Leyland, Hero Moto, TVS Motors, Bharat Forge, Bosch, Balkrishna, Bajaj Auto and Eicher Motors. Amongst these companies due to Tariff uncertainties one should focus on companies which will be least dependent on export and have major market which caters to local consumption or exports not related to US. Two-Wheeler manufacturers and Two Wheeler component manufacturers are looking particularly strong in the index as most of them are consumed and sold locally. The rains so far this monsoon have been good so the Farm equipment and Tractor manufacturers also can try to push the index upwards if the monsoon remains strong in India.
If we get a closing above 24250 we can easily see index moving 1000 to 1500 points northwards if positivity in the index sustains. The resistances currently for the Auto index are at 23828, 24221, 24554, 24965, 25407 and 25865. The supports for Auto index remain at 23620 (Mother line support), 23087 (Father line support), 22894 (Below this level index becomes very weak) and 22259. To know more about Mother line, Father line and my Mother, Father and Small child theory you should once again I recommend, read my book the Happy Candles Way to Wealth Creation.

Don’t Blink — Gold Charging Toward 3400!Overnight, we entered a long trade at 3365 and successfully closed the trade by hitting TP: 3395, locking in nearly 300pips of profit. This was a very successful and accurate trading strategy.
Just now, gold became very crazy after rising, and plunged directly from around 3397 to around 3372. It was a very scary and crazy diving action. In fact, I am not worried about it. On the contrary, I am very happy that it provides me with another opportunity to enter the market and go long on gold. I've already entered a long position in gold again, as planned, in the 3375-3365 area.
Regarding the recent plunge in gold, I think it was intended to scare off the long positions that were somewhat loose in their intentions. Although gold has fallen sharply, it is still in a recent volatile upward structure. The volatile upward structure has not been destroyed in the short term, so I believe that gold will not have much room for retracement for the time being under the support of the bullish structure. On the contrary, I believe that after gold touches around 3397, even if it is weak, it will try to hit the 3400 mark, and it is even expected to continue the bullish trend to the 3420-3430 area.
There may be many friends in the market waiting for the opportunity to enter the long market at 3350 or even 3340, but what I want to say is that under the support of the gold bull structure, the downward space has been greatly limited. In the short term, gold may not go to such a low position at all, so relatively speaking, I prefer to go long on gold in the 3375-3365 area, and I have indeed done so!

A Trap, a Reversal, and a Breathless Rally — Did You Catch It?
🗞 Nifty Summary
Today was expected to be volatile, but few were prepared for how wildly Nifty behaved.
After a gap-down of 110 points on the back of negative global cues, Nifty immediately started filling the gap and reached the Previous Day Low (PDL). However, strong rejection at PDL sent prices tumbling — slicing below the Open, IB Low, and even the Current Day Low, marking a sharp low at 24,387.
Then came the bear trap.
A brief breakdown to 24,344.15 looked like a breakdown, but instead triggered a sharp liquidity grab, launching a vertical move upward. From that bottom, Nifty surged in a breathtaking rally — not a single 5-min candle broke its previous candle’s low, signaling relentless buying. Almost every resistance zone — Swing High, VWAP, PDL/S1, CPR, Weekly Low — got taken out in one single breath.
Did you ride it?
Honestly — I didn’t. I was frozen watching this dramatic reversal unfold.
Still, today’s super recovery puts the index back within its known range. Now, bulls need a close above 24,660–24,675 to confirm momentum.

The triangle pattern is about to break through and hit 3400#XAUUSD
Although the price of gold was too high last night due to the rise in risk aversion, the upward momentum weakened significantly in the evening, and it fluctuated sideways at a high level. Gold is currently consolidating within a triangle pattern, with a short-term price increase reaching the triangle's boundary. A break above 3385 could lead to significant intraday gains. Meanwhile, the downside is defending short-term support at 3365. As long as this support level remains intact, the bullish trend remains intact. If the European session gives an opportunity to fall back to the 3375-3365 support area without breaking, you can consider going long and look at 3395-3405, and if it breaks, look at 3415.
AUDUSD SWING: SHORT-TERM BEARISH OPPORTUNITY (TRICKY)Hi there,
I'd like to see AUDUSD trade lower after running multiple highs and lows and creating a MSS on the weekly chart.
Price is also currently trading in-between weekly support and resistance levels which could aid the trade play out. The only concern I have is that the current region price is playing at is quite choppy - hence, price might not move cleanly.
Anyways, watchout for my next post tomorrow.
Cheers,
Jabari
GBPUSD SWING: SHORT OPPORTUNITYHi there,
Of all the USD pairs, I think GBPUSD is the weakest and I speculate lower prices.
At the very least, to hunt the equal lows the market created by not taking the previous low just before the monthly FVG. That action is suspect - it will induce buyers and drop more shorts on them.
Anyways, watch out for my next post.
Cheers,
Jabari
USDCHF: Bearish Continuation Setup From Reclaimed Supply ZoneGreetings Traders,
In today’s analysis of USDCHF, recent price action confirms the presence of bearish institutional order flow. This reinforces our directional bias to the downside, prompting us to focus on strategic selling opportunities.
Key Observations on H4:
Weekly Bearish Order Block: Price recently tapped into a weekly bearish order block, which triggered a decisive market structure shift to the downside. This confirms the order block's validity as a firm resistance zone.
Bearish Fair Value Gap (FVG): Following the market structure shift, price retraced into an H4 FVG. This zone acted as resistance, maintaining bearish momentum.
Reclaimed Mitigation Block: After breaking through a previous mitigation block, the area now functions as a reclaimed order block. We expect this to serve as a high-probability resistance zone moving forward.
Trading Plan:
Entry Strategy: Monitor lower timeframes (M15 and below) for confirmation entries within the reclaimed order block.
Target Objective: The current draw on liquidity is the discount-side liquidity pools, which aligns with our bearish bias.
As always, remain patient, wait for solid confirmations, and manage your risk with precision.
Kind regards,
The Architect 🏛️📉
