AUDJPY: The Last Gap Setup! I Promise... 🇦🇺🇯🇵
Those who have recently joined my group may think that I only trade the gaps.
That is not the case at all because good gaps are relatively rare.
Each time they form, I am trying to get maximum from them.
The last one that I wanted to share is a nice gap up on AUDJPY.
With a bearish London session opening, I think that this gap is going
to be filled soon.
Goal - 96.75

Apple – Can the Company’s “Awe Dropping” Event Deliver?The Apple share price has been on a roll of late, trading from a low of 224 on August 21st to print a 6 month high of 241 on Friday (Sept 5th), consolidating its position as the third biggest company in the world with a market capitalisation of $3.56 trillion, just behind Microsoft in second place at $3.68 trillion.
However, what happens next for the Apple share price may depend in part on how well traders respond to the company’s biggest product launch of 2025, which is due for release at its “Awe Dropping” event later today.
Apple are due to showcase their next generation iPhone line up, alongside new smartwatches, and other devices. This hardware is seen as important for the future success of the company given Apple has fallen behind its key competitors in the AI space and so needs customers to keep buying these products while it revitalises its plans to catch up.
The Apple Event kicks off at 1800 BST. It could be helpful for traders to monitor the product announcements and keep focused on any impact they have on price action for Apple stock throughout the evening and early trading on Wednesday.
The share price could experience pockets of volatility across this crucial 24 hour period before traders switch their focus to the US inflation releases that are scheduled for 1330 BST Wednesday (PPI) and 1330 BST Thursday (CPI).
Technical Update: Optimism Ahead of the Product Launch?
It might be argued the current price of Apple shares reflects positive investor sentiment ahead of today’s product launch.
Since the April 8th low, traders have consistently bought into price dips, pushing the stock above resistance marked by the previous failure high.
As the chart above shows, improving sentiment has helped form an uptrend in price, with Friday marking the highest trade in Apple shares since March 7th.
While the positive trend is encouraging, it is no guarantee of continued price strength, and much will depend on how the market reacts to this evening’s key sentiment driver.
That said, a close above the 241 high could trigger a further phase of strength toward higher resistance levels.
A successful close above 241 might signal a push toward resistance at 250, which is the February 25th high, or even 260, which is the December 26th peak.
However, if the market reacts negatively to the product launch, breaking key support levels might be an indication for risks of further price declines in Apple’s share price.
As shown in the chart above, the rising Bollinger mid-average, currently at 232, may offer initial support. Last week's decline held at this level, helping to establish fresh buying interest and the latest move to new recovery highs.
As such, the 232 level may serve as the first possible support, with a close below it signalling potential for increased downside risks.
A close below 232 could potentially trigger a deeper decline toward 224, the August 21st low, or even 202, the August monthly downside extreme.

EURUSD: Classic Bullish SetupI believe that the EURUSD pair may have the potential to continue its upward movement.
The market has been consolidating for a period within a broad intraday horizontal range.
The breakout of its resistance appears to be a strong bullish indicator.
The next level of resistance is anticipated at 1.1808.
NZDJPY: Can We Expect a Pullback?The NZDJPY pair appears to be testing a strong horizontal resistance level on its intraday chart.
An inverted cup and handle pattern is observable on an hourly timeframe, accompanied by a neckline breakout, multiple rejections, and an unusual gap up.
There is a possibility of a price rebound.
Potential targets are 87.22 and 87.00.

If the daily high in red is broken, a breakout is expected. ETH has been doing nothing for days, price action is not behaving as it usually does at these imbalances.

CHFJPY: Another Bearish Confirmation 🇨🇭🇯🇵
2 out of 3 gaps that we traded yesterday were filled.
The one that is still missing is on CHFJPY.
This morning, I see another bearish confirmation that was formed
on higher structure levels - a neckline breakout of an inverted cup & handle pattern.
With a high probability, the price will drop to our projected target soon.

Breaking Free: How Bears Can Win Back in GoldAfter touching the trend line resistance area of 3640-3650, gold fell back as expected, showing a high "doji" in the hourly candle chart and signs of stagflation. It is expected to become a market turning point in the short term. The gold market may usher in a good correction in the short term due to this technical turning point. However, we need to note that as long as gold remains above 3580, the current situation is still a strong bullish pattern, so we must pay attention to the extent of the retracement.
As gold continues to rise, the current short-term support is at 3620-3610, so I think it is necessary for gold to retrace its support in this area. Once gold is supported in this area, it may rebound again and retest the high area of 3640-3650. If gold falls below the short-term support area of 3620-3610, then gold will further retrace its steps to 3590-3580, which is the lifeline of bulls and the dividing line between bulls and bears.
If gold falls below the 3590-3580 area during the backtest, the current gold bull advantage will no longer exist, and the bears will likely regain control of the situation. As most long funds take profits and the market experiences panic selling, gold will completely turn into a bearish trend and fall further.
At present, I still hold short position in gold, and first aim at the short target area: 3620-3610 area. Once gold falls below this area, the target area will be postponed to 3600-3590 area. I am currently holding my short position and have already realized some profits. I very much hope that gold will fall back to the target area as expected!

RSI Dip + Morningstar on M15 - Tokyo (2)Following earlier winning trade, I got back in on gold's bullish run. Confluences were RSI dip and Morningstar candle pattern. MACD is only lightly bearish, looks like it will flip back bullish again shortly which will provide further confirmation in due course.

RSI + MACD Cross + MorningStar TokyoTook this long during the Tokyo session (M15) after RSI dipped to 35 on XAUUSD. Waited for a bullish Morning Star to complete, then entered once MACD crossed bullish for extra confirmation. TP is set at 1:10, just below the high from two weeks ago.

Figma Wave 5 Sell-Off or Bullish Breakout Incoming?High-Probability Setup in Motion, Eyes on the Drop Zone! Figma’s recent price action confirms a developing 5-wave corrective structure, currently deep in the wave 3 leg within a descending channel. The structure remains valid while price stays below the descending trendline, which has consistently acted as dynamic resistance.
Key Structure Notes:
Price rejection from $148 and $142 confirms the macro trendline resistance. Wave count shows impulsive leg 1-2-3 formation nearing exhaustion. Wave 4 bounce is expected, but only a break above $95.18 will flip the current bias bullish.
Until then, the major focus remains on the drop zone around $59–61, which aligns with both the completion of wave 5 and a high-confluence accumulation zone.
Plan of Action:
Those that have interest should stay patient as the expected Wave 4 retracement unfolds. If price fails to break above the macro trendline, prepare for potential entries at the projected accumulation range near $59 for the next bullish cycle.
Accumulation Zone: $59.00–$61.00
Trend Shift Trigger: Break and hold above $95.18
Invalidation: Loss of structure below $57 would call for reassessment

Will Figma flip the trend early or complete Wave 5 first?

Shooting Star Signals – Bulls vs Bears Tug-of-War Continues
🗞 Nifty Summary
Nifty opened with a 58-point gap-up, briefly surged another 28 points in the first minute, then slipped 73 points lower, nearly filling the gap. It found support and bounced back, rallying toward the PDH and resistance zone at 24,835 ~ 24,845, where it faced rejection and marked the day high at 24,845.7.
Support at 24,785 (previous resistance turned support) held well. Later, bulls attempted to break PDH and resistance again and succeeded temporarily. However, a long-term trendline held firm and ultimately broke. That breakout attempt turned into a false breakout, and strong selling pressure erased all intraday gains. The index closed near the day’s low at 24,773.15, just 32 points higher than the prior close.
The last 3 consecutive red candles, each with marginal gains, reflect ongoing selling pressure at higher levels.

💡 Final Thoughts
Today’s Shooting Star reflects a clear bearish bias at higher levels. Despite small gains, the inability to sustain above 24,880 highlights selling pressure. Until bulls reclaim 24,880–24,910 convincingly, expect continued sideways to bearish action.

Turning the Tables: Bears’ Guide to Profit in GoldDriven by the dual influence of interest rate cut expectations and the job market, gold prices continue to rise and reach new highs. This is entirely a game played by big money at this stage. Buying sentiment in the gold market is currently so high that most of the time, there's no opportunity to even enter a long position. Therefore, after considering the possible phenomenon of "buying expectations and selling facts", while controlling risks, I carefully tried to short gold. Although I suffered losses frequently, I also made a good profit overall because I successfully captured the volatility.
Currently, gold continues to rise and has reached a high of around 3637. In fact, according to its wave pattern, gold may experience a pullback at any time. This is why I insist on shorting gold today.
The 1st wave: Gold rose from around 3405 to around 3508, a 3.1% increase with a fluctuation of $105.
The 2nd wave: Gold rose from around 3470 to around 3578, a 3.16% increase with a fluctuation of $108.
The current wave: Gold rose from around 3512 to its target of around 3637, a 3.5% increase with a fluctuation of $124.
According to the trend of price fluctuations, gold has reached and, to a certain extent, exceeded the previous two waves, so a pullback is possible at any time.
Furthermore, given that intraday fluctuations have been between $30 and $50 in recent days, and the intraday fluctuation of gold from around 3580 to around 3637 reached $57, a short-term pullback is highly likely.
However, because the bullish momentum of gold is strong, I will continue to try to short gold before a clear peak signal appears, but I may appropriately lower my expectations for gold's pullback, that is, appropriately lower my expectations for profit margins. My current short position entry prices are: 3612, 3621 and 3636. Basically, I add positions every time the fluctuation is 100-150pips. I currently hope that gold can retreat to the area around 3610-3600.
ETH 1H Analysis - Key Triggers Ahead | Day 16💀 Hey , how's it going ? Come over here — Satoshi got something for you!
⏰ We’re analyzing ETH on the 1-Hour timeframe.
🔭 On the 1H timeframe for Ethereum, we can see that ETH has broken through its resistance zone at $4332. A pullback and consolidation above this level could give us strong trading opportunities. From a multi-timeframe pattern perspective, ETH is still trading inside a larger box, with significant distance remaining to the box’s upper boundary. If ETH confirms this breakout, the next resistance level sits around $4480, and a break above that could push ETH outside of its current range.
⛏ The key RSI zones are 70 and 37. If momentum crosses above 70 into Overbought territory, ETH could continue its current bullish trend.
💰 The size and volume of recent green candles on ETH have been increasing, supported by strong buying. The compressed range structure built during the weekend has now been broken with higher buying volume and the clearing of sell orders. As long as open interest remains strong, ETH has room to move higher.
🪙 Looking at the ETH/BTC pair on the 1H timeframe, it faked out below the marked support level and is now pushing upward. The key resistance here is at 0.03883, and a confirmed breakout above this level could fuel further upside for ETH against USDT.
💡 Currently, Ethereum is sitting in a crucial zone. Multi-timeframe confirmation above this level could give us a clean long setup. The immediate resistance zone is $4332, while further resistance levels can be mapped out with a Fibonacci retracement.
❤️ Disclaimer : This analysis is purely based on my personal opinion and I only trade if the stated triggers are activated .
USDSEK: Trend ContinuationUSDSEK looks to resume its downtrend. This is observable based on the daily and 1-hour timeframe confluence.
Daily Timeframe:
Starting on the daily timeframe, EMA20 rests below EMA60, with price hovering below EMA20. This indicates that the overall trend is down.
In addition, price recently made a clean break below the horizontal trendline (HTL). It then tried to trade above it with no success.
1-Hour Timeframe:
Over on the lower timeframe, we see confluence as well. Price crosses below the ascending trendline, which indicates the overall trend is resuming. There's alignment on the daily and 1-hour timeframes.
My entry is based on the consolidating range that formed after the price pullback. Price is now breaking out of this range, which signals that momentum is picking up.
