BTC bull market is not over, how should we plan for the future?#BTCUSD BINANCE:BTCUSDT BITSTAMP:BTCUSD BITSTAMP:BTCUSD The BTC market did not experience much volatility over the weekend, and today it only rose to near the 90500 resistance level before falling back again. Judging from the hourly and 4H charts, BTC still has room for a pullback and adjustment, and may need to consolidate again before breaking through the upper resistance. Short-term support is at 87800-87000. If it falls back to this level, we can consider taking a small long position in BTC. The key support level remains at 85500-85000. As long as this range holds, the bullish trend for BTC remains intact

Subsequent price action shows higher lows and impulsive displacement, indicating bullish intent rather than corrective relief. The most recent London-to-early NY price action indicates acceptance above the prior value, not rejection. PD Arrays & Imbalances Multiple 5-min FVGs below the price have been mitigated, reducing downside draw. The current structure is trading inside bullish inefficiency, supporting continuation. 💧 Liquidity & Order-Flow Narrative Sell-side liquidity, which has been below recent lows, has been fully consumed. No sustained acceptance below that zone → assume bearish continuation invalidated. Price is now gravitating toward buy-side liquidity resting above: Prior London & Tokyo session highs NY Session High (19th Dec) ~1.4970 Untapped premium FVGs 🧠 Smart Money Read: Downside liquidity was engineered to reload long inventory, followed by controlled upside expansion.

USDJPY – Shorts Left Reeling after Position SqueezeThe Bank of Japan hiked interest rates 25bps (0.25%) last Friday and the outcome in FX markets was for USDJPY to rally 1.4% from 155.46 to close at its highest level since January 14th at 157.76. Not what the shorts were hoping for! These types of moves usually occur when the outcome of a risk event is widely anticipated in advance and traders’ have already positioned accordingly. In the case of USDJPY, Bloomberg reported on Friday that all 50 economists it surveyed ahead of the interest rate decision, expected a rate hike, and the move was already around 95% priced into Japanese government bond markets. Looking closer at the price action going into the BoJ meeting, USDJPY had spent most of the previous 3 weeks probing lower levels between 154/155 (see main chart) as traders positioned for what they expected to be a stronger JPY and weaker US dollar. Once the press conference, led by Governor Ueda, failed to provide more specific details on the timeline for future interest rate hikes from the Japanese central bank in early 2026, traders were forced to cut weak short USDJPY positions in thin pre-Christmas liquidity which then exacerbated the squeeze to the topside. Looking forward, Japanese authorities may not be happy with USDJPY pushing to even higher levels above 158, or possibly more concerning the 160 level, which hasn’t been seen since July 2024. They could consider the idea of intervention to stop the upside momentum in its tracks, something that may add an extra layer of volatility to FX markets during the holiday period. With this backdrop in play, staying apprised of the technical situation, alongside identifying potential support and resistance levels could be useful to assist trade planning. Technical Update: Can the Latest Price Strength Re-engage an Uptrend? USDJPY posted an impressive gain of more than 2% last week, supported by the market’s reaction to what traders interpreted as a ‘dovish’ rate hike from the Bank of Japan, which weighed on the JPY side of the currency pair. This move has brought USDJPY toward the first potential resistance at 157.89, which is the November 20th high. Traders may now be asking whether this potential resistance can prove strong enough to halt the current advance and even turn activity lower once more, or if a closing break above 157.89 could occur, suggesting the possibility of further price strength. Potential Resistance Levels: Having marked the highest USDJPY trade since November 20th, the 157.89 level may initially be the first resistance focus over the Christmas period. How this level is defended on a closing basis may be pivotal with successful breaks above 157.89 potentially skewing the risks towards USDJPY pushing on to higher levels. As the weekly chart above indicates, if resistance at 157.89 does give way on a closing basis, the focus might then shift to the January 2025 high at 158.88. A break above this level could then expose the potential for moves toward 161.95, which is the July 2024 high. Potential Support Levels: Of course, the resistance at 157.89 may still cap USDJPY prices, allowing fresh price weakness to develop. In this scenario, the focus could turn to 156.48 as the first possible support level. This is the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of last week’s range. Closing breaks below 156.48 may be required to open potential for moves to lower levels. A confirmed closing break below 156.48 in USDJPY could trigger further downside pressure, with 155.69, the deeper 62% retracement, emerging as the next support. If this level also gives way, the downside potential may extend toward a test of 154.39, which is the December 16th low.

Those who are bullish are right, new highs are not the top.#XAUUSD OANDA:XAUUSD TVC:GOLD Fueled by escalating geopolitical tensions over the weekend, market risk aversion intensified, driving gold prices higher and easily breaking previous highs to new records. This aligns with our consistent bullish outlook, but we avoid blindly chasing the rally. Short-term support levels to watch are 4385-4375. If gold prices pull back to this level for the first time during the European session, we can consider taking a small long position in gold. However, be aware of the current overbought market, suggesting a technical need for a correction. If this correction extends further, it could be substantial. At this point, we need to pay attention to the important support level of 4355-4345. This is where the daily MA5 is located, and it is also the point where the moving averages and the middle Bollinger Band converge in multiple timeframes such as the hourly and 4-hour charts, which provides strong support. Therefore, if gold prices fall further to this level during the day, we can still consider going long on gold. In short, the most prudent trading approach is to avoid chasing rallies and wait for a pullback before going long

GOOGL low resistance liquidity run to ATHI think this GOOGL 24 hour chart has a great set up to take us back to All-time high. We got the formation of a bullish fair value gap today. We have relative highs sitting at 321.31. Most definitely a low resistance run on liquidity at 332.98. There was a gap on the weekly timeframe that got filled, and we got a bounce out of it two weeks in a row, and this would be the third week of a bounce . The only thing that could disrupt this move up, is that there is a bearish weekly Fair value gap that needs to get broken through. We clear that and it could be smooth sailing.

FireHoseReel | BNB Daily Analysis #25🔥 Welcome To FireHoseReel ! Let’s dive into Binance Coin (BNB) analysis. 👀 BNB 4H Overview BNB is currently trading near a key resistance level and is likely to show a reaction at this zone before attempting a breakout. As you can see, buying volume is gradually increasing, which supports a potential upward move. 📊 Volume Analysis As mentioned in the previous analysis, a significant amount of capital from buy-side makers was deployed within a single 4-hour candle. With buyers’ momentum continuing, BNB still has the potential to push higher. ✍️ BNB Trading Scenarios 🟢 Long Scenario: A confirmed breakout above the current resistance around $876.56, accompanied by strong buyer participation and increasing volume. Additionally, the RSI oscillator should break above the 60.68 level to validate the long setup. 🔴 Short Scenario: A breakdown below the buy-side maker support zone between $819.69 – $808.06 could trigger a sharp downside move. Losing this zone may occur via a whale-driven move, so the preferred entry would be on the pullback after the breakdown. 🧠 Protect your capital first. No setup is worth blowing your account.

Nifty Analysis EOD – December 22, 2025 – Monday🟢 Nifty Analysis EOD – December 22, 2025 – Monday 🔴 26150 Conquered! Bulls Charge Into New Territory. 🗞 Nifty Summary The Nifty opened with an explosive 119.25-point Gap Up from the PDC, positioning itself more than 87 points above the PDH. After a brief 32-point step back to mark the day low at 26,047.80, buyers took charge with immediate conviction. Within the first five minutes, the index crossed the strong resistance of 26104 and began a confident climb toward 26155. After multiple attempts during the afternoon session, Nifty successfully breached 26155, marking a day high of 26,180.70. The session concluded at 26,172.40, gaining a massive +206.00 points (+0.79%). While the bulls successfully held the ground and closed above the critical 26155 mark, the relatively narrow intraday range of 133 points (post-gap) suggests that while momentum is high, a retracement might be on the cards if rejection occurs at the 26220 ~ 26235 zone tomorrow. 🛡 5 Min Intraday Chart with Levels 🛡 Intraday Walk The primary story of the day was the market’s ability to sustain such a large gap up without immediate profit booking. Breaking 26104 so early in the session converted a major resistance into a rock-solid floor. The subsequent grind toward the day high showed controlled buying. However, traders should note that the actual intraday expansion was limited compared to the opening gap, which sometimes hints at “exhaustion gaps” if follow-through is missing tomorrow. For now, the successful close above 26155 keeps the short-term bias firmly in the bulls’ court. 📉 Daily Time Frame Chart with Intraday Levels 🕯 Daily Candle Breakdown Open: 26,055.85 High: 26,180.70 Low: 26,047.80 Close: 26,172.40 Change: +206.00 (+0.79%) 🏗️ Structure Breakdown Type: Strong Bullish candle (Near Marubozu). Range (High–Low): ≈ 133 points — healthy intraday expansion after the gap. Body: ≈ 117 points — reflecting strong bullish dominance and price acceptance. Upper Wick: ≈ 8 points — almost no rejection near the day’s high. Lower Wick: ≈ 8 points — buyers immediately absorbed the minor early dip. 📚 Interpretation The candle is a classic momentum indicator. The close near the day’s high with minimal wicks suggests that participants were comfortable holding positions at elevated levels. It reinforces the breakout from the previous week’s consolidation and places the index within striking distance of the next major psychological barriers. 🕯 Candle Type Bullish Marubozu-Style / Momentum Candle — Shows strong continuation strength; bulls firmly in control. 🛡 5 Min Intraday Chart ⚔️ Gladiator Strategy Update ATR: 192.68 IB Range: 89.95 → Medium Market Structure: ImBalanced Trade Highlights: No Trade Trade Summary: The strategy rules restricted an IBH breakout trade today. The combination of an imbalanced market structure and a large Gap Up (covering nearly half the expected daily range), followed by a very narrow initial move, correctly led to a “no-trade” day. This preserved capital in a session that offered limited R:R once the initial gap was priced in. 🧱 Support & Resistance Levels Resistance Zones: 26220 ~ 26235 (Immediate Hurdle) 26277 (All-Time High / Major Target) 26320 Support Zones: 26104 (Major Support) 26070 ~ 26045 26030 25985 🧠 Final Thoughts “The bulls are breathing thin air at 26170.” While the price action is undeniably strong, the narrow intraday range compared to the massive gap suggests we might see a brief cool-off. Tomorrow’s session is critical: a breach of 26235 opens the doors to a new All-Time High. However, if Nifty faces a sharp rejection at the 26220 zone, expect a retracement back toward the 26104 support level to fill the “hidden” liquidity void created by today’s gap. ✏️ Disclaimer This is just my personal viewpoint. Always consult your financial advisor before taking any action.

NETFLIX NEXT MOVE UPNFLX has completed a significant bearish displacement from the highs and is now trading into a well-defined higher-timeframe demand zone, which previously served as the origin of a strong impulsive rally. The current decline shows signs of momentum deceleration as price approaches this area, increasing the probability of sell-side liquidity being absorbed. From a market structure perspective, price transitioned from an uptrend into distribution, followed by a clean break lower. This move has now extended far enough to justify expectations of at least a corrective reaction, provided demand holds. Multiple supply zones overhead explain prior rejections, making this a location-based swing rather than a trend continuation play. The plan is to wait for confirmation within the demand zone (bullish daily close, rejection, or lower-timeframe structure shift). Risk is clearly defined below demand, while upside targets sit at prior internal range highs and untouched supply zones above, offering favorable risk-to-reward. If demand fails with acceptance below, the setup is invalidated — no trade.
