Gold Pullback in Play – Still Aiming for 3450 📌 In yesterday’s analysis, I argued that bulls likely won the battle and that a new leg up toward 3450 could be next from a swing trade perspective. I also mentioned that buying dips remains the preferred strategy.
And indeed – we got that dip.
📉 Price pulled back to 3340 and bounced,
but it hasn’t yet touched my key area of interest: 3330–3335.
What now?
My view stays the same –I still expect a move toward the 3450 zone,but I also believe a deeper dip toward support is still on the table – likely a liquidity grab before the next leg up.
Trading Plan:
✅ Buying dips remains the core strategy
🚫 Invalidation only comes on a break below 3305–3310
🎯 Upside target remains well above 3400, aiming for 1000+ pips
Let’s stay focused and let price come to us.

Trading Day SummaryTrading Day Summary
Today wasn’t a winning day on the books, but it was a major win in discipline.
I hit my daily loss limit before 10 AM, stopped live trading, and switched over to paper trades to protect my capital.
The setups I took—especially in Gold and Euro—lacked full confirmation, and one overnight trade didn’t align with my plan.
I experienced around $200 in slippage, which added to the loss.
The bright side? I stayed in control. No revenge trades. No emotional spirals.
My paper trade afterward was textbook—5R+ potential. That tells me the strategy is sound. Execution and timing just need to be sharper.
Bottom line: this is a marathon, not a sprint. I’m proud of the discipline and the mindset. Tomorrow, we reset and refocus.
ODD Flat Base (Stage 2) – Support ReversalOddity Tech Ltd. ( NASDAQ:ODD )
🚀 Entry: $72.31
📊 Setup: Flat Base (Stage 2) – Support Reversal
🛑 Stop: $69.05
🎯 Target: $89.50
🔑 Why I Entered:
Solid 6-week flat base (~13% depth) with a bullish hammer candle reversal off the 50-DMA and key support.
Moving averages (10/21/50 DMA) are coiling tightly, indicating a potential breakout.
Strong institutional accumulation signals backed by increasing volume.
Exceptional fundamentals: EPS growth at 79%, RS Rating at 95, Composite at 97 (per IBD).
🎯 What's Next:
Watching for a decisive breakout above the $79.18 pivot on high volume for a potential scale-in.
Earnings due in two weeks—staying vigilant for any unusual volatility ahead of the announcement.
Can Dreamcoin bulls have a daily uptrend?Price failed to close about last week high and bears still have full control, however a daily uptrend could be the first step for a weekly bounce.
price lost the 4 hour uptrend but the daily 12 ema acted as support. Bulls would need to regain the 4 hour uptrend to confirm the the daily uptrend above 0.00113 to hint the weekly bounce.
Anything below 0.00097 would negate this possibility.
Mid-Session Market ReviewMid-Session Market Review
S&P 500: After some initial volatility from the 8:30 news, the market accepted above the prior day’s levels but has since pulled back within range, consolidating just below the highs.
NASDAQ: The NASDAQ remains above all of yesterday’s levels and is currently balancing between the high of the day and the 23,100 level, showing a rotational pattern.
Russell 2000: This market is rotational within the prior day’s range and has accepted below the CVA and PVA. Potential trade opportunities might come with a pullback to the 2,245 area.
Gold: Gold has accepted below the prior value area and is still rotational within the CVA. Trade opportunities could present themselves near the prior day’s low.
Crude Oil: The market is quite choppy, hovering around the prior day’s low and value area low. Caution is advised, with potential long opportunities on a pullback, as long as conditions align.
Euro Dollar: The Euro is dropping significantly, moving below all key levels without much respect for them. This could provide short opportunities if there’s a pullback.
Yen: Similar to the Euro, the Yen is also pushing below previous levels. It’s getting choppy near the CVA low, so caution is needed until it shows more respect for those levels.
Natural Gas: The market is rotational within the prior day’s range and respecting the CVA high. Long opportunities might be possible if conditions are right.
Aussie Dollar: It’s showing some respect for the CVA low and is still rotational. There could be a potential long setup forming, depending on how it plays out.
British Pound: The Pound has accepted below all key levels, and a pullback to the CVA low might provide short opportunities, though caution is needed around the VWAP.
Nifty Analysis EOD – July 15, 2025 – Tuesday🟢 Nifty Analysis EOD – July 15, 2025 – Tuesday 🔴
"Buyers Step Back with Conviction, Reclaim Lost Ground"
Nifty began the session with a flat-to-positive tone, and the first 5-minute candle confidently added 60 points, pushing the index toward 25,150 – aligning with the Previous Day High (PDH). However, the level couldn't hold on the first attempt and Nifty slipped back to the day's open. After a brief consolidation, bulls made a strong comeback.
The second push broke through the PDH, Day High, and the resistance zone of 25,180–25,212, and extended the move up to mark the day’s high at 25,245.20. Post that, the index hovered above the breakout zone and closed solidly at 25,195.80, showing strength and follow-through.
📈 The day’s structure was clean and directional — a healthy bounce and hold above critical levels, reinforcing the idea that buyers are regaining control after last week’s consolidation and weakness.

🔍 Interpretation
Opened flat and quickly built momentum.
Temporary pullback in first 15 minutes was bought into strongly.
Closed with a clean green body, showing clear intraday bullish intent.
Holding above the 25,180–25,212 zone is a big win for bulls.
🕯 Candle Type
Bullish Marubozu-like (strong green body with minimal lower wick) — shows conviction and potential start of a new upswing post recent chop.
📌 Key Insight
25,080–25,100 is now a key base and must be protected.
If Nifty can break and hold above 25,240–25,250, a move toward 25,295–25,315 looks likely.
Failure to hold above 25,180 would be first sign of hesitation.

Don’t hesitate, a massive gold move Is brewingRefer to my previous trading idea. Gold retreated as expected. We almost caught the highest point of the day and shorted gold near 3365, and successfully hit TP: 3346, which enabled us to successfully profit 190pips in short-term trading, with a profit of nearly $10K, which is a good result in short-term trading.
Currently, the lowest point of gold in the retracement process has reached around 3335, which has fully released the short energy and vented the bearish sentiment in the market. All the bad news is out, which means good news! Although gold fell from 3375 to 3335, the retracement was as high as $40, but the rising structure has not been completely destroyed. The previous W-shaped double bottom support structure and the resonance effect of the inverted head and shoulder support structure still exist. As long as gold stays above 3325, gold bulls still have the potential to attack.
Moreover, after this round of retracement, the bearish sentiment of gold was vented, and the liquidity was greatly increased, attracting more buyers to actively enter the market. Gold may start a retaliatory rebound, and even touch 3375 again or even break through and continue to the 3380-3390 area.
So for short-term trading, I think we can try to go long on gold in the 3335-3325 area appropriately, first looking forward to gold regaining lost ground: 3350-3360 area, followed by 3380-3390 area.
Pre-Market PrepToday’s market insights show a lot of potential opportunities across the board:
S&P 500: We’re in a strong upward imbalance, trading above the prior day’s range and value area. The focus is on long opportunities, but waiting for confirmation on any pullbacks.
NASDAQ & Russell 2000: Similar to the S&P, both are also in an upward imbalance. For the Russell, there’s a specific focus on looking for long setups around the prior day’s high.
Gold: The market is rotational within the prior day’s range and value area, with a slight bias toward looking for long opportunities from the lower end of that range.
Crude Oil: After some initial volatility, it has settled back into the prior day’s range. Long opportunities look promising, especially on a pullback to the CVA low.
Euro Dollar: The market is a bit low on volume and holding below the CVA. Longs are considered if we see acceptance back into that area, while shorts are on the table if we remain below the prior day’s value area.
Yen Dollar: Trading below the prior day’s range and value area, the focus is on short opportunities, especially if we see continued acceptance below key levels.
Aussie Dollar: It’s rotational and currently above the prior day’s value area, making both long and short opportunities viable, depending on how the market moves.
Nat Gas: It’s also rotational within the prior day’s range, but further analysis is needed after updating levels.
Overall, the strategy is to trade smart, confirm setups, and stay aware of the bigger trends while managing risk.
Gold’s Uptrend Is a Mirage, Bears Are Lurking Beneath!Gold repeatedly touched around 3375 yesterday and then fell under pressure, proving that there is strong resistance above. Moreover, after gold retreated and touched around 3341 yesterday, it did not recover in time and stand above 3350. It was not until today that it rebounded and touched around 3365. The rebound cycle has been extended to the present, and the rebound strength is not very strong.
Since gold retreated, it has not been able to recover the lost ground in time. Gold is under pressure in the 3360-3370 area in the short term. If gold cannot successfully break through this resistance area during the day, then gold will retreat again, and will refresh the 3341 low again, and continue to the 3335-3325 area.
So for short-term trading, I think we can try to short gold in the 3360-3370 area appropriately, looking at the target area: 3350-3340
Pfizer May Be StallingPfizer has limped higher since April, but some traders may think the pharmaceutical giant is at risk of stalling.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the series of lower highs since January. PFE potentially just made another lower high at this falling trendline, which may suggest resistance is taking effect.
Second, the peak is occurring near the 200-day simple moving average. That could indicate its long-term trend is pointing lower.
Third is the 2023 low of $25.76. At the time, it was the lowest price in the preceding decade. After spending more than a year on either side of this level, PFE is now stalling in the same area. Has old support finally turned into new resistance?
Fourth, the candles of July 8 and July 10 showed prices trying and failing to cross the same long-term level. Such “shooting star” candlesticks may be short-term reversal patterns.
Finally, PFE is an active underlier in the options market. (It’s averaged more than 90,000 contracts per session in the last month, according to TradeStation data.) That might help traders take positions with calls and puts.

It is expected to fluctuate and fall before CPI data📰 News information:
1. Focus on tomorrow's CPI data
2. Bowman's speech at the Federal Reserve
3. Tariff information outflows and countries' responses to tariff issues
📈 Technical Analysis:
The 1H chart shows that the gold price continued to pull back last night and then fluctuated at the bottom, and continued the rebound trend this morning. The key pressure level is the top and bottom conversion level. The current rebound in gold is only a secondary confirmation of the top structure at the 30-minute level. After reaching 3365, it has shown signs of short-term pressure. In a volatile market, if the price begins to consolidate horizontally, it may indicate the end of this round of volatile upward trend, and it will enter a downward phase later. Considering the market sensitivity before the release of CPI data, it is recommended to focus on the volatile decline trend. After today's rebound, it is necessary to focus on the 3365-3368 area as a short-selling range, and the long-short defense position is set at yesterday's intraday high of 3375. The support below focuses on the 3350-3340 range.
🎯 Trading Points:
SELL 3358-3368
TP 3345-3333
