Is the Aussie Dollar Ready to Jump?The Australian Dollar has been grinding higher since April, and some traders may think it’s ready to start jumping. The first pattern on today’s chart is the July highs between roughly 0.658 and 0.66. AUDUSD began September by rallying above that price zone and is now trying to hold it. That may suggest old resistance has become new support. Second, Monday’s session ended higher after probing lower. The resulting “hammer” candlestick is a potentially bullish pattern. The currency also held its rising 21-day exponential moving average (EMA). Third, the 8-day EMA is above the 21-day EMA and MACD recently surged. Those signals may reflect increased short-term bullishness. Finally, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) crossed above the 200-day SMA in June. The 100-day crossed above the 200-day SMA in July. That configuration, with faster SMAs above slower SMAs, is potentially consistent with an emerging uptrend.

Nifty Analysis EOD – September 23, 2025 – Tuesday🟢 Nifty Analysis EOD – September 23, 2025 – Tuesday 🔴 Expiry Day Drama – Two-Sided Moves, Tug of War Continues 🗞 Nifty Summary Nifty opened with a 43-point gap up right at the strong resistance of 25,240, but selling pressure quickly kicked in. Within the first 30 minutes, the index fell 140 points from the high to test the crucial support at 25,115. From there, a descending triangle pattern formed. Breakdown was triggered at 11:00 AM, but the next support at 25,085 came to the rescue. This 25,085–25,115 zone acted as a base, and once 25,115 was reclaimed, Nifty surged 108 points back to PDC. After a brief pause, the rally extended toward the day’s high, but the CPR Zone, CDO, CDH, and strong 25,240 resistance halted the move. Sellers pushed the index back below mean and PDC, closing at 25,169.50. 👉 Overall, expiry day was a roller coaster — Great for option buyers with two-sided moves, but also tough to handle both sides that saw traps. Tough for option sellers as both sides move on expiry day, too hot to handle. Another spinning top–like candle emerged, reflecting the tug of war. With range expansion already visible, the next session may cool down into a narrower range, provided today’s high or low holds. 🛡 5 Min Intraday Chart with Levels 📉 Daily Time Frame Chart with Intraday Levels 🕯 Daily Candle Breakdown Open: 25,209.00 High: 25,261.90 Low: 25,084.65 Close: 25,169.50 Change: −32.85 (−0.13%) 🏗️ Structure Breakdown Small red candle (Close < Open). Body: ~39.5 points → small body, indecision. Range: ~177.25 points → wide swings. Upper wick: ~52.90 points → rejection at 25,260. Lower wick: ~84.85 points → buyers active at 25,085. Close near lower-mid of the range. 📚 Interpretation Opened at resistance → sellers took control early. Buyers held 25,085–25,115, creating a base. Rally attempts were capped at 25,240 resistance. Close shows market still in tug of war, with sellers slightly ahead. 🕯Candle Type Spinning Top → indecision but weak bias. 📉📈 Short-Term View – September 24, 2025 Resistance Zone: 25,250–25,340 → repeated selling here. Support Zone: 25,085–25,115 → defended again today. Break below 25,085 → downside to 25,048 / 25,000 / 24,990. Bullish continuation only above 25,260–25,340. 👉 3-Day Context (19th → 23rd Sept) 19th Sept: Bearish rejection candle from ~25,420. 22nd Sept: Strong rejection near 25,330, weak close at 25,202. 23rd Sept: Spinning Top at 25,170 → hesitation, indecision, tilt bearish. 👉 The sequence shows distribution pressure building. 📌 Conclusion: Nifty is losing bullish momentum as sellers hold 25,250–25,450 firmly, while bulls are desperately defending 25,080–25,150. Until one side gives way, expect volatile but range-bound trade. The bias leans toward a short-term correction unless bulls reclaim 25,330+ convincingly. 🛡 5 Min Intraday Chart ⚔️ Gladiator Strategy Update ATR: 162.87 IB Range: 140.8 → Big Market Structure: Imbalanced Trade Highlights: 09:20 → Short Trade ✅ Target Achieved (R:R = 1:2) 11:10 → Short Trade ❌ SL Hit 12:25 → Long Trade ✅ Target Achieved (R:R = 1:3.63) 📌 Support & Resistance Levels Resistance Zones: 25,240 25,290 ~ 25,307 25,340 ~ 25,385 25,425 ~ 25,460 Support Zones: 25,165 ~ 25,140 25,115 25,085 25,045 25,000 ~ 24,990 💡 Final Thoughts The market played both sides on expiry day, rewarding nimble traders and punishing late movers. Key battle zone remains 25,085–25,150 vs. 25,250–25,340. Whoever wins this zone will dictate the next directional leg. 📖 “A range is the battlefield — breakout is the victory.” ✏️ Disclaimer This is just my personal viewpoint.

Short trade Trade Journal Entry Pair: AUDNZD Trade Type: Sell-side trade Date: Sun 21st Sept 2025 Session: Tokyo Session PM TF: 1H Trade Details: Entry: 1.12758 Profit Level: 1.12205 (+0.33%) Stop Level: 1.12896 (–0.10%) RR: 3.8 Smart Money / PD Array Narrative: Target: Discount PD Array (0.75) Idea based on 5-point mapping: 1. Accumulation → Buyers absorbed before exhaustion. 2. Distribution → Supply zone formed around premium pricing. 3. Sweep → Liquidity engineered above high (point 5), triggering short entry. 4. Manipulation → The Market provided a false push-up into imbalance. 5. Entry (Sell-side trade) → Triggered at a premium level with a downside aim toward a discount. Technical Narrative: Trade aligns with bearish market structure following exhaustion at swing high. Volume spike indicated smart money distribution into buy-side liquidity. Fair Value Gap (FVG) and PD Array confluence provided a high-probability entry. Stop set tightly above the distribution high, minimising risk exposure. Target placed at discount draw (0.75 retracement) to capture the imbalance fill.

ETH 4H Analysis - Key Triggers Ahead | Day 25😃 Hey , how's it going ? Come over here — Winter got something for you! ⏰ We’re analyzing ETH on the 4-Hour timeframe. 👀 On the 4H timeframe for Ethereum, we can see that after breaking below its maker-buyer zone, ETH moved down toward lower support levels, experiencing a **7% drop** — an unexpected move that even pushed major holders to sell. Ethereum is now sitting at a **multi-timeframe support zone**, and if this level is lost, it could head toward the next lower maker-buyer area, where we’ll need to observe how price reacts. 🧮 The **RSI oscillator** shows ETH deep in the **oversold zone** with heavy selling pressure. Buyers have yet to step in, meaning that with more sell-side momentum, Ethereum could remain oversold for an extended period. 🕯 The **size and volume of red candles** have increased sharply in a short span of time. This fast move down with fewer candles signals **strong selling sentiment**, while price itself looks uncertain about its next direction. 💸 Looking at **ETHBTC**, the pair experienced a sharp drop and deep correction with the start of the new week. It is also resting at a multi-timeframe support zone. If that breaks, Ethereum could face a further correction. 🧠 As for positioning, it’s still early. We’d prefer to wait for the market to build a stronger structure and possibly a wider range before entering. A **short position below the 4147 support** is possible with low risk, but since RSI remains heavily oversold, we must also consider the potential for a **price rebound**. ❤️ Disclaimer : This analysis is purely based on my personal opinion and I only trade if the stated triggers are activated .

Silver To The Mooooon!!Several factors have come together to make silver especially attractive. Expectations of Fed Rate Cuts / Lower Real Yields Markets are increasingly pricing in Federal Reserve rate cuts, which reduces the opportunity cost of holding non‐yielding assets like silver. Real yields (yields adjusted for inflation) have been weak or falling, making silver more appealing. Weak U.S. Dollar When the USD weakens, commodities priced in dollars become cheaper for holders of other currencies, boosting demand. Safe-Haven / Inflation Hedge Demand Geopolitical risks, economic uncertainty, and fears of inflation make precious metals attractive. Silver benefits both as an industrial metal and a hedge to some degree. The gold-to-silver ratio is unusually high, which many see as signalling that silver is “cheap” relative to gold, suggesting more upside potential.

BTC 4H Analysis - Key Triggers Ahead | Day 45😃 Hey , how's it going ? Come over here — Winter got something for you! ⏰ We’re analyzing BTC on the 4-Hour timeframe. 👀 On the 4-hour timeframe, Bitcoin formed a lower low followed by a lower high and lost its key support around $115,115 at the start of the new week, pushing price further down. Currently, BTC is testing support at $112,500, and if this level breaks, it could move toward lower supports. 🧮 The RSI oscillator shows that BTC fell below the 40 level toward oversold territory, triggering significant selling pressure. Bitcoin is now attempting to stabilize above the 30 level. If it fails, further downward movement is likely. 🕯 Red candle sizes and volumes have surged sharply at the start of this week, generating considerable FOMO in the market. If a large candle forms, it is likely to be bearish. The key question: will buyers step in to defend Bitcoin at this level? 🧠 Focus on short positions; long positions are removed for now. A break of the current support could trigger additional short opportunities. Watch the RSI carefully: if it exits oversold in the higher timeframe, short positions can be opened with more confidence. RSI acts as a multi-timeframe indicator, helping indicate market direction. ❤️ Disclaimer : This analysis is purely based on my personal opinion and I only trade if the stated triggers are activated .

Nifty Analysis EOD – September 22, 2025 – Monday🟢 Nifty Analysis EOD – September 22, 2025 – Monday 🔴 Gap-Down, Whipsaw, and Late-Session Breakdown 🗞 Nifty Summary Nifty opened with a 93-point gap down at 25,240, right at our support level, but slipped another 48 points to test 25,212, marking the day’s low. A sharp 120-point recovery followed, filling the gap within 35 minutes. For most of the session, price action stayed muted in a 54-point range (25320–25267) near PDL and S1, reflecting indecision. However, the late second half brought a sharp sell-off as 25,240 broke, sending Nifty to test 25,165 before a minor bounce. The index closed at 25,202.35, just above the day’s low. 👉 Overall, the session was rough: Morning = Bulls dominated with recovery. Midday = Both sides in a stalemate. Late = Bears seized control with a decisive breakdown. 🛡 5 Min Intraday Chart with Levels 📉 Daily Time Frame Chart with Intraday Levels 🕯 Daily Candle Breakdown Open: 25,238.10 High: 25,331.70 Low: 25,151.05 Close: 25,202.35 Change: −124.70 (−0.49%) 🏗️ Structure Breakdown Red candle (Close < Open). Body: ~35.75 points (small vs. range). Range: ~180.65 points (high intraday volatility). Upper wick: ~93.60 points (rejection near 25,331). Lower wick: ~51.30 points (buyers tried to defend near 25,150). Closed near the day’s low → bears ended in control. 📚 Interpretation Nifty tested 25,331 early but supply kicked in hard. Selling dragged price to 25,151 before buyers attempted defense. Recovery attempts failed near 25,200 → sellers controlled late trade. 🕯Candle Type Resembles an Inverted Hammer / Shooting Star–like red candle, with strong upper rejection. 📉📈 Short-Term View – September 23, 2025 Resistance Zone: 25,320–25,350 (tested, rejected). Support Zone: 25,150–25,200 (buyers active intraday, but weak close). Break below 25,150 → could extend fall toward 25,050–25,000. Upside strength only if 25,330+ is reclaimed. 📌 Conclusion: Recent sessions are showing distribution signs after a strong rally. Bulls are holding 25,150–25,200, but repeated failures near 25,330–25,450 hint at a short-term pullback unless reclaimed. 🛡 5 Min Intraday Chart ⚔️ Gladiator Strategy Update ATR: 161.28 IB Range: 120.10 → Medium Market Structure: Imbalanced Trade Highlights: 11:15 Short Trade → ❌ SL Hit 13:20 Short Trade → ✅ Target Achieved (R:R = 1:2) 📌 Support & Resistance Levels Resistance Zones: 25,240 25,290 ~ 25,307 25,340 ~ 25,385 25,425 ~ 25,460 Support Zones: 25,165 ~ 25,140 25,115 25,085 25,045 25,000 ~ 24,990 💡 Final Thoughts The index danced in all directions today but closed with bears firmly ahead. Buyers are still defending 25,150–25,200, but cracks are visible. 👉 Watch 25,150 carefully — losing this could open the gates toward 25,000. 📖 “Markets don’t move in straight lines — they trap, test, and only then trend.” ✏️ Disclaimer This is just my personal viewpoint.

The bullish trend remains strong; look for opportunities to buy Gold fluctuated upward today, reaching a new high driven by multiple factors. It was originally expected that gold would retreat to near the inflection point and then rise, but unfortunately the market did not give it an opportunity and the bears had no choice but to stop their losses. From a technical perspective, the gold price stabilized above the MA5 moving average, the hourly moving average spread out upward in a bullish arrangement, and the Bollinger Bands opened upward, indicating that the market bulls have completely dominated. Gold is currently retreating. The top and bottom conversion position below 3710-3700 is being watched in the NY market. If the support level is not broken after a pullback, we can consider going long on gold, with the target at 3730-3750.

GBPUSD This pair is now bearish as last weeks candle closed below : therefore the bias is bearish. The best course of action is too look for liquidity from the last weeks price leg > using appropriate tools like ICT and fibonacci retracement tool. using top down analysis you find a crt on the 4hr where the high was liquidated driving price fast down... from this crt I found a BRK - I expect price to short from this point of interest. the setup shared in this idea is for educational purposes only : apply proper risk management. Good trading my followers
