Gold’s Drop: The Calm Before the SurgeThe bulls have been defeated all the way, and the current lowest has fallen to around 3350. However, after gold touched around 3350, the downward momentum has slowed down. I think it is not appropriate to be overly bearish on gold in the short term.
It can be clearly seen during the day that gold started to fall from around 3401, and the decline reached $51 around 3350. In the absence of any major negative news, I believe that the intraday retracement space has reached its upper limit, and the structural support line for gold bulls happens to be in the 3350-3340 area, so the room for gold to continue to retrace will not be too large.
Moreover, gold has recently fallen under pressure several times after standing above 3340, proving that the upper resistance still exists. In addition, there is a certain amount of selling, which has hindered the bullish momentum to a certain extent, resulting in the lack of momentum for gold bulls. After the current pullback and technical repair, due to the increase in gold liquidity and accumulation of strength, it may be more conducive for gold to hit 3400 again or even higher targets.
Therefore, in the short term, I think it is not advisable to chase gold too much; instead, we can accumulate enough cheap chips during the gold pullback, and then wait patiently for gold to rebound and hit 3380-3390 again.
Candlestick Analysis
ASR Prints Higher High Eyeing Buy-Back ZoneASR has delivered a decisive breakout, printing a strong higher high and confirming bullish market structure. Current focus is on the designated buy-back zone for re-accumulation, aligning with the continuation bias. Should this zone fail to hold, the primary demand area below remains a strategic accumulation point for long-term positioning. Both zones present opportunities to compound holdings in line with the broader bullish trajectory illustrated on the chart.

GTC Eyes Reversal from Accumulation Base GTC/USDT is bouncing off a long-term descending channel’s base, showing possible signs of accumulation. A move toward the $0.55–$0.75 supply zone is expected, with a potential breakout targeting $2.23 if momentum sustains. We must pay a close attention to a breakdown below $0.248 which will open a downward move towards $0.074 as final and critical support.

How to Do Structure Mapping with Multiple Time Frames Analysis
If you think that structure mapping is not efficient for profitable trading, you get it wrong .
What newbies traders always miss is that structure mapping works effectively only with multiple time frame analysis.
In this article, I will show you how you can build profitable trading plans and accurate predictions on forex market with structure mapping alone.
Learn top-down analysis secrets and how to map structure properly in Smart Money Concepts SMC ICT.
In order to effectively use structure mapping for scalping, day trading and swing trading , always start it from higher time frames.
Examine my complete structure mapping on USDJPY forex pair on a daily time frame.
You can see that first, the pair was trading in a strong bearish trend.
Then, we had a confirmed bullish reversal with Change of Character.
After that, the market started an extended consolidating movement, not being able to update the highs.
And finally, the last bullish wave managed to update a high , confirming a completion of a consolidation and a resumption of a bullish trend.
Structure mapping reveals that USDJPY is now bullish on a daily and the last bearish movement is a correction in uptrend.
We can expect a start of a new bullish wave soon.
To understand when exactly it is going to happen, you will need to dive your analysis deeper .
You should start structure mapping on lower time frames.
And you should execute a price action analysis there in relation to your structure mapping on a higher time frame.
4H time frame structure mapping will reveal a price action within the last bearish move that we spotted on a daily.
We see that the market is trading in a bearish trend and the price started a local correctional movement after a formation of the last low.
4h time frame structure mapping provided a detailed intra week perspective.
Hourly time frame analysis, we reveal hidden intraday trends that will unveil more insights.
And why are we doing all that?
Remember that big waves always start from minor reversals.
The earlier you are able to find strong confirmations, the earlier you will open a trading position and the more profits you will make.
On an hourly time frame, our structure mapping shows that the market is already bullish. A bearish trend that USDJPY followed is already violated, and the price is updating the highs.
Following our analysis, the only thing that we need to confirm a start of a bullish trend is a confirmed trend reversal and a change of character on a 4H time frame.
It will validate an intra week bullish trend.
We will need the price to break the underlined blue resistance based on the last lower high in a bearish trend.
That will provide an accurate signal for us to buy.
And we can anticipate a rise a least to a current daily higher high then.
When you do structure mapping on forex market, never forget to do that on multiple time frames. Multiple perspectives and short-term/mid-term/long-term projections will help you to build a more efficient trading plan.
Remember that you can expand your structure mapping even for minute time frames. It will provide a unique perspective for scalping forex.

Volatile Inside Day Keeps Traders Guessing Before Expiry
🗞 Nifty Summary
Nifty opened with a 102-point gap-up, driven by early bullish sentiment. However, the 24,600 zone acted as resistance right from the start, pushing prices down by 64 points to mark the day’s low at 24,535.25. Support emerged from the CPR zone, fueling a rebound that broke through 24,600 and set a new day high at 24,614.20, completing the Initial Balance (IB).
Once again, Nifty failed to sustain above 24,600, drifting between the IB range and VWAP. Around 12:40 PM, IB high was breached, but the index had to fight hard to stay above it. After an extended struggle to reach the previous day’s high, the index finally topped at 24,664.55, then retreated back toward the IB high before closing at 24,630.40.
Price action was highly volatile with no clear directional conviction, reflected in the long wicks on 5-minute candles. Structurally, the day remained balanced and inside the previous day’s range, forming an Inside Bar pattern on the daily chart — a setup known for potential breakout opportunities.

🎯 Tomorrow’s Game Plan
Tomorrow is weekly expiry, and my bias starts bullish:
💡 Bullish Plan:
If the market opens inside today’s range, I’ll wait for a breach and hold above 24,660 for long opportunities.
First hurdle: 24,700
Targets: 24,780 → 24,825 → 24,890
💡 Bearish Plan:
Not my primary view, but I’ll consider shorts if 24,525 ~ 24,515 breaks and sustains below.
First hurdle: 24,475 ~ 24,465
Targets: 24,425 → 24,350 → trail for deeper dips

CPOOLUSDT Daily Chart Analysis | Momentum Surge & Key TargetsCPOOLUSDT Daily Chart Analysis | Momentum Surge & Key Targets
🔍 Let’s dive into the CPOOL/USDT 1D chart and break down the latest price action that’s catching attention, with an eye on bullish setups and critical zones.
⏳ Daily Overview
The chart shows a dynamic breakout above the accumulation box (range), with price riding a clear yellow trendline and volume spiking hard — classic momentum signals. RSI is entering the overbought zone, which confirms surging buying interest and the possibility for rapid moves.
🔺 Long Setup:
- The breakout from the range box suggests accumulation and fresh interest. Immediate upside looks at the mid-range target of $0.26010.
- Next, if momentum holds, price could rally towards $0.34350, which lines up with the risk-reward (RR1) from the box.
- Sustained momentum and continued volume spikes could unlock even higher targets beyond these levels.
📊 Key Highlights:
- Yellow trendline supports the move, tracking bullish sentiment.
- Volume spikes show real participation — this isn’t a low-liquidity fakeout.
- RSI entering the overbought zone is a momentum engine, but keep an eye out for possible pullbacks or cooling periods as price tests higher levels.
- Fake breakout earlier in the range now confirmed by the strong candle and volume surge.
🚨 Conclusion:
Momentum is accelerating. If buyers stay in control above current support, price could climb to the mid-box target of $0.26010, with $0.34350 as the next bullish destination. This setup favors longs as long as volume and trendline support remain intact. Aggressive momentum could push price even further — time to watch those critical resistance levels.
Bullish Setup: ICP Eyes 70% Gain if Resistance BreaksAfter the strong drop that started in December last year — a move of almost 70%, from 15.5 down to around 4 — ICP entered a 4-month consolidation/accumulation phase.
The range is well defined:
• Support: around 4.5
• Resistance: slightly above 6
With Total3 showing a bullish outlook, there’s a high probability that ICP will finally break above 6 and accelerate towards the 10 USD key zone.
That would mean roughly a 70% upside, and with a 1:3 risk-to-reward ratio, this setup deserves your attention.
📌 Plan : Watch for a confirmed breakout above 6 and manage risk according to your trading rules.

EURUSD Bulls Defend 1.16 – Break Above 1.17 Could Ignite RallyOn Monday, I mentioned that EURUSD could extend its ascent thanks to a short-term pennant formation.
For this reason, I bought into dips and, fortunately, my stop loss was well placed — the pair reversed only 5 pips above it.
Now, the trade is sitting comfortably with a 40-pip profit, and in my view, the upside potential isn’t over yet.
Technical view:
• On Monday, EURUSD dipped to test the 1.1600 support zone.
• The bounce from there resumed the uptrend that started after this month’s NFP release.
• The pair is now challenging the horizontal resistance around 1.1700.
A clean break above 1.1700 would likely open the door to the 1.1800 area.
Bias: EURUSD remains bullish as long as 1.1600 holds. 🚀

SOLUSDT Holding Long Term Trendline SupportSOLUSDT continues to show strong bullish structure, with price consistently holding above a multi-year ascending trendline a key structural element that has defined its uptrend. This dynamic support has anchored price action within a broader ascending formation, reflecting steady long-term accumulation.
Additionally, the chart reveals a well defined Cup and Handle formation, further reinforcing the bullish outlook. As long as price respects the immediate demand zone, this area remains a prime region for re-accumulation, with expectations for it to hold as a firm support level.
The projected target for this setup is clearly illustrated on the chart, aligning with the broader bullish continuation narrative.
Share your view, do you see SOLUSDT pushing higher from here, or is a deeper retest likely before the breakout?
HD: A Breakout Play Set for New Highs! •Decisive Pattern Breakout: Home Depot has executed a robust bullish breakout from a multi-month symmetrical triangle pattern. This pattern, clearly defined by the converging vibrant green trendlines, indicates a period of consolidation followed by a strong directional move. The recent surge above the upper trendline signals a decisive shift in market sentiment towards the bullish side. 💪
•Establishing Firm Support: Crucially, the previous resistance level around $375, now highlighted as a green support zone, has been successfully retested and held. This conversion of resistance into support is a classic bullish confirmation, providing a solid foundation for the subsequent advance. Maintaining price action above this level is paramount for the continuation of the upward trajectory. 💎
•Navigating Immediate Hurdles: As the rally progresses, the price is approaching its "1st Defense" around $405, a grey zone representing an immediate resistance hurdle. A successful breach of this level, potentially after some consolidation or minor pullback, would open the gates for the next leg higher. 📊
•Targeting the Next Milestone: With the breakout confirmed and key support in place, our technical analysis projects a significant upside target of $420. This objective, marked by the prominent red zone, aligns with the measured move of the symmetrical triangle pattern and previous areas of price action. Traders will be keenly observing for a sustained drive towards this ambitious level. 🎯
•Strong Bullish Momentum: The overall outlook for HD is bullish. The recent price action, underpinned by the powerful pattern breakout and the establishment of robust support, points to strong underlying demand. As long as the price maintains its position above the $375 level, the path of least resistance remains to the upside. ✨

US 100 – US CPI in Focus, Could this Be Moving Day? Technology stocks in the US 100 have been leading the resurgence of US assets back up from their April lows for a while now, driven higher by fresh demand for magnificent 7 stocks, artificial intelligence capital expenditure and increased expectations for Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate cuts, which its hoped by traders will restart again when the Fed have their next rate decision meeting on September 17th.
Dips in the US 100 have remained shallow, with the latest blip lower, caused by a weaker than expected US Non-farm payrolls report, causing a sell off from the record high set on July 31st at 23730 down to a low at 22678 (Payrolls Friday August 1st) before the uptrend resumed again, setting a new record closing high at 23660 on Friday since when prices have consolidated so far this week between 23500 and 23716.
Today could potentially be moving day for US 100 stocks with the latest US CPI release due at 1330 BST. Traders are very sensitive to US inflation updates right now as they await the effects of President Trump’s trade tariffs to feed through into higher consumer prices. US corporates initially absorbed the higher tariff costs which has helped to shield US consumers but there has been signs that this trend may be starting to change.
Any deviation in today’s US CPI release from market expectations may alter the current pricing for Fed rate cuts across the next 6 months, which could have an outsized impact on US 100 volatility across the remainder of this week.
Technical Update: Is the Trend Still Your Friend?
When an asset gains fresh buying support and approaches a previous all-time price high, it can be a very important period for both price action and traders. It can lead to the question being asked.
Will buying pressure be strong enough to break above this important resistance and extend the bullish trend, or will sellers re-emerge at the all-time high, triggering a potential reversal in price?
This appears to be the backdrop unfolding for the US 100 index, and as the chart above shows, having seen price weakness briefly post the August 1st low at 22678, the latest price strength since that dip is currently testing 23730 again, the all-time high registered on July 31st.
This 23730 resistance level could be an important focus for traders this week, as successful closing breaks above the all-time high are required to suggest potential for a more sustained phase of price strength, while failure to close above this 23730 resistance level, may lead to increased possibilities for deeper declines in price.
Potential Upside If a Closing Break Develops Above 23730:
If, and it could still be argued it is a big ‘if’, a successful closing break develops above 23730, it could open potential for further price strength towards the next resistance at 24146, which is equal to the 38.2% Fibonacci extension of the July 31st to August 1st price weakness, may be even further.
Potential downside If the Resistance at 23730 Holds:
It is equally possible, the resistance at 23730 can cap the current strength, even prompt fresh selling pressure to turn price activity lower for a phase of weakness.
While 23730 continues to limit current price strength, the focus may shift to possible support at 23181, which is equal to half the August price strength. Closing breaks below 23181 could potentially be a catalyst for further declines to test 22678, the August 1st low, and even lower if this level in turn gives way.

SILVER (XAGUSD): Bearish Correction ContinuesI believe that 📉SILVER could continue to decline after breaking below the support level of a consolidation within a horizontal trading range,
which is now acting as resistance.
Additionally, I observe a bearish engulfing candle following the test of the broken structure on the 4H timeframe.
Target price is 37.34.
GBPUSD INTRA-WEEK: BEARISH TRADE IDEAHi there,
On the weekly chart, GBPUSD is poised to go lower and right now price has taken out the highs of the past 2 weeks.
We just traded from a key resistance level - forming a MSS.
I'd like to see price trade lower as we have relatively equal low - where liquidity would be resting.
Wishing you a good trading week.
Cheers,

Buy the Dip on DOGEHello I am the Cafe Trader.
Today we are updating our trade On DOGE. The market hasn't told us exactly where the top of demand is, but we can assume it is sitting above it for now.
Short Term
We’ve got a Key Buyer sitting down around $0.19245 — this is where the last serious push started. Above us another new seller is trying to stake a claim around $0.245–$0.250. I still think the Bulls are stronger.
As of now buyers can step in anywhere from top of demand, down to "Key Buyer". If that key buyer gets taken out, then this could run back down to the extreme demand
Green Scenario:
We have pulled back about 10% from recent highs. About 50% FIB line from the new buyers. We could move strait up from here.
(if you aren't already in the trade from my last post, you can be aggressive with the top of demand area, or conservative with the Red Scenario)
Red Scenario
We will don't know exactly how strong the buyers are at the top of demand. Hence this scenario.
Pullback to where we know the strong buyers are sitting, and reload.
Long Term
Your conviction on DOGE determines where you start buying:
Aggressive: $0.2240+ (Top of Demand)
Good Price: $0.1985 (Key Buyer)
STEAL: $0.14–$0.155 (Extreme Demand)
Thanks for reading the update, hope you do well!
Happy Trading,
@thecafetrader
Silver’s uptrend cracks with U.S. inflation in focusSilver’s latest run ended abruptly on Monday, with the metal reversing hard, breaking its recent uptrend and forming a bearish evening star three-candle pattern. With RSI (14) and MACD momentum readings now neutral rather than bullish, the focus shifts to price action over holding a set bias.
If the signal from recent price action proves reliable—a big “if” with U.S. CPI looming—watch for a break beneath $37.46, the prior multi-decade high from February 2012. If that occurs, one option would be to establish shorts beneath the level with a stop above for protection, targeting either the 50-day moving average or support at $36.27 or $35.50.
If silver fails to follow through on Monday’s reversal, the setup could be flipped, with longs established above the level and a stop beneath for protection. $38.50 or $38.73 screen as potential targets, with a break above the latter opening the door for a retest of the July 23 swing high at $39.53.
From a fundamental standpoint, the U.S. inflation report looms as Tuesday’s main volatility event. A monthly core reading of 0.4% or higher would likely create headwinds for riskier assets such as silver, curtailing Fed rate-cut pricing over the next year and strengthening the U.S. dollar. A core print below 0.3% could have the opposite effect, acting as a catalyst for a possible silver surge.
Good luck!
