Chart Patterns
ETHUSD – RANGE TO BREAKOUT STRUCTURE | BUYERS IN CONTROLPrice spent significant time in a well-defined range trade, building liquidity above a strong demand zone area. After multiple consolidations, the market transitioned into UTA (Upthrust Action) and successfully broke out of the range, confirming bullish intent. The former buyer zone acted as a base, while the breakout level is now turning into a seller zone flip, supporting continuation. As long as price holds above the breakout structure, the path remains open toward the strong supply zone, which stands as the next upside target.
XPL first signs of life. Time to execute a strategy. PLASMA is showing a clear shift in structure after an extended downtrend. Price has broken out of the descending channel and is now pushing higher into a key reaction area.
The highlighted structure zone below price is acting as a base. As long as this area holds, pullbacks are being absorbed and buyers remain in control. A strong reaction here supports continuation, while acceptance back below it would likely lead to consolidation.
Momentum is expanding rather than fading, suggesting this move has follow-through behind it. This level matters,hold structure and continuation stays on the table; lose it and PLASMA likely chops before the next direction is set.
Watching how price behaves around this zone.
BTCUSD Intraday View: Upside Bias While Above SupportBitcoin is showing strength on the intraday chart. Price is holding above the 88210 support, which keeps the short-term direction positive.
The market has been moving higher step by step, showing buyers are active. As long as price stays above the key support area, upside continuation is possible.
Key Levels to Watch
Support / Pivot: 88210
Lower Supports: 86930 → 86160
Resistance Levels: 91020 → 91790 → 92560
Market Expectation While price remains above 88210, the path of least resistance is upward toward 91020 and 91790. Any pullback into support may be corrective, not a trend change.
Invalidation A strong break and hold below 88210 would weaken the bullish intraday view and may lead to a deeper pullback.

Single-Family Home Prices Priced in Gold (1971–2026)📊 Single-Family Home Prices Priced in Gold (1971–2026)
This chart shows the price of a U.S. single-family home measured in ounces of gold, not dollars, going back to the early 1970s.
Why this matters:
Tight Credit is not good for markets! Bad JUJU!
Gold acts as a long-term monetary benchmark. Pricing homes in gold strips out currency effects and helps reveal real cycles, not nominal noise. It gives us insight into how the market is looking at credit going forward.
🔎 What the chart shows (facts)
Home prices in gold move in long, multi-decade cycles
Peaks tend to occur during periods of:
easy credit
suppressed interest rates
strong belief in “housing always goes up”
Troughs tend to follow:
monetary tightening
credit contraction
stress resets in the financial system
Historically, these cycles are not random and not short-term.
Bottom line
This chart is about relative value, monetary regimes, and long-term structure.
For new traders:
Learn to separate nominal prices from real purchasing power, "VALUE" and you’ll start seeing markets more clearly.
Structure first. Emotion later.
The home didn't change
The Currency did.
I strongly encourage traders and investors to understand the operational mechanics of the monetary system. There is a meaningful distinction between money and currency, and this chart highlights that difference clearly.
Understanding that distinction changes how you interpret cycles, value, and risk.

XAUUSD Intraday View: Downside Still StrongGold is under selling pressure right now. Price is trading below 4370, which is an important level. As long as gold stays below this area, sellers remain in control.
The market tried to move up but failed, and price turned down again. This shows weakness. The RSI is also very low, which confirms strong selling momentum.
Levels to watch:
Resistance: 4370 → 4405 → 4440
Support: 4274 → 4245 → 4205
Expectation:
If price stays below 4370, gold can continue moving down toward 4274 and 4245.
Only a strong move back above 4370 would reduce the downside pressure.

My Assessment
Ascending triangle at resistance with liquidity pools below. Expect short-term dip to sweep $86K-$88K liquidity, fill CME gap, then break ascending pattern and burst higher. Risk-on sentiment returning, whale accumulation, and January Effect support bullish thesis.
Strategy:
Wait for dip to $86,000-$88,000 zone
Long on bounce with stop below $84,500
Target $93,000-$94,000, then $100,000
Or long on confirmed breakout above $90,500

Bitcoin: Testing Descending Trendline – Potential Correction📝 Idea Description
Overview: Bitcoin is currently trading under a significant descending trendline on the 12-hour timeframe. The chart illustrates a clear pattern of lower highs, with price action respecting the "Sell-point" and "Buy-point" zones identified through recent price history.
Technical Key Points:
Descending Resistance: The primary black trendline continues to act as a ceiling. Unless we see a high-volume breakout above this line, the bearish structure remains intact.
Key Resistance Levels: Immediate resistance is sitting at $94,645, with the major psychological and technical peak at $126,199.
Projected Path: As indicated by the red projection line, I am anticipating a rejection from the current trendline intersection, potentially leading to a corrective wave down toward the $71,300 – $75,000 support cluster.
Major Support: The horizontal level at $71,333 serves as a critical "target zone" for a potential retracement before any long-term trend reversal can be confirmed.
Conclusion: Patience is key here. I am looking for either a successful retest of the lower support levels or a definitive daily close above the descending trendline to flip my bias to bullish.
XAUUSD– Bearish SetupPrice is pulling back into a high timeframe zone, where previous selling pressure was clearly established.
This area acts as a key decision zone, and the current reaction suggests that sellers are beginning to regain control.
Technical Notes:
Pullback into high timeframe resistance / supply
Bearish reaction confirms rejection from the zone
Market structure remains bearish
No strong bullish continuation after the pullback
Trade Perspective:
Bias: Bearish
Invalidation: Strong close above the high timeframe zone
Target: Previous liquidity / demand area below
Risk–reward is favorable if price respects the zone
This setup highlights the importance of waiting for price to come to value, then reacting based on confirmation — not anticipation.
