EUR/USD | Retesting the supply zone (READ THE CAPTION)As you can see in the 4H chart of EURUSD, it reached the supply zone, and then with the news coming out, it started dropping in price. It went as low as 1.17744, just below the low of FVG. I believe EURUSD will go back to yet again challenge the supply zone and sweep the liquidity above there. We shall monitor it carefully.
Next targets: 1.17890 & 1.18020 and 1.18160

💬 Description: Gold is fulfilling the previously outlined scenario, and given the current market situation for this metal, a potential reversal is likely. Specifically, a false breakout has formed, and if it is confirmed (with the price not moving above 4493), we can expect a decline toward key supports near 4380. Trend support and the latest price accumulation can also be targeted. All of this is located near the 4300 area.

GOLD → Long squeeze support could strengthen the price to 4500FX:XAUUSD continues its aggressive rally. The price has reached a new high of 4497.5, leaving a small gap of $2.5 to 4500 (insurance against profit-taking???). A retest of support could renew interest in buying...
Statements by US Treasury Secretary Bentsen about a possible transition to inflation targeting (instead of a fixed target of 2%) undermine confidence in the Fed's long-term policy.
• The escalation of US sanctions against Venezuela (detention of tankers) and continued tensions in Ukraine and the Middle East are boosting demand for defensive assets.
Today, US GDP data for the third quarter and durable goods orders are expected. Speeches by Fed members may cause increased volatility amid low liquidity (end of the year).
The upward trend in gold continues, but in order to continue growing, the market may switch to liquidity hunting mode and form retests of support levels...
Resistance levels: 4497.5, 4500, 4510
Support levels: 4470, 4460, 4450
The 4470 zone is a liquidity pool; a retest or long squeeze could resume the rally. However, I do not rule out that, against the backdrop of the news, gold may test 4460 - 4450 before continuing to grow. In the current situation, all attention is focused on the range of 4470 - 4500.
Best regards, R. Linda!

Crude Oil – Sell around 59.20, target 56.00-55.00Crude Oil Market Analysis:
Crude oil has started a slight rebound, but it hasn't broken through the 55 level effectively. Today's strategy remains to sell on rallies and be bearish. Continue selling on rallies. Resistance for crude oil is around 59.20; consider selling near that level. If crude oil breaks above 59, it indicates a return to a consolidation phase. The recent escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict is supporting buying opportunities in crude oil.
Fundamental Analysis:
The Russia-Ukraine conflict shows signs of escalation again, providing some support for gold. Pay attention to the holiday situation in the next few days.
Trading Recommendation:
Crude Oil – Sell around 59.20, target 56.00-55.00

Gold (XAUUSD) – 4H Continuation After Bullish ConsolidationHi!
Market Structure:
Gold remains in a strong ascending channel, maintaining higher highs and higher lows. After briefly breaking above the mid-channel resistance, price respected the broader bullish structure, confirming trend continuation rather than reversal.
Price Action & Patterns:
The market experienced a healthy 40% corrective consolidation, followed by a strong impulsive leg that broke the local channel. This move was followed by a pennant formation, accompanied by a controlled 50% correction, indicating bullish compression rather than distribution.
Support & Demand Zone:
Price is currently pulling back into a key demand area, aligned with former resistance and the channel support. This zone is critical for continuation and provides a favorable risk-to-reward structure for trend-following setups.
Upside Scenarios:
If price holds above this demand zone, continuation toward the upper channel boundary becomes the primary scenario, with extended targets toward the 4,550–4,580 region based on channel projection.
Invalidation:
A decisive breakdown below the demand zone and channel support would weaken the bullish bias and signal deeper consolidation.

Gold Breaks the Channel — Momentum Is Still BuildingGOLD (XAUUSD) – 1H QUICK VIEW
Technical
Clear breakout above ascending channel resistance → bullish continuation signal.
Price holds above EMA34 & EMA89, confirming strong trend control.
Current move = breakout → shallow pullback → potential next impulse.
As long as price stays above the broken trendline, upside bias remains valid.
Key Levels
Immediate support: ~4,450 – 4,430 (retest zone)
Upside extension: 4,520 → 4,580+
Macro / News Context
USD remains under pressure as markets price in future rate cuts.
Real yields stay soft, supporting non-yielding assets like gold.
Ongoing geopolitical tensions & central bank gold accumulation keep demand elevated.
Bias
Buy pullbacks, not breakouts.
Trend remains bullish unless price falls back inside the channel.
Gold Is Not Overbought — This Is a Controlled ExpansionGOLD (XAUUSD) – SHORT ANALYSIS (1H)
Technical
Strong impulsive uptrend with shallow pullbacks → bullish strength.
Price holds well above EMA34 & EMA89 → trend intact.
Previous resistance (~4,430–4,450) flipped into key support.
Current move = impulse → brief consolidation → continuation.
Key Levels
Support: 4,430 – 4,450
Upside continuation: 4,520 → 4,580+
Macro / News Drivers
USD softness and easing real yields support gold.
Ongoing rate-cut expectations keep dip-buying active.
Persistent geopolitical risk & central bank demand underpin bullish bias.
Bias
Buy the pullbacks, not chase highs.
As long as price holds above the new support, trend continuation remains the base case.
Gold Is Not Overextended — This Is Wyckoff Markup in ProgressXAUUSD (H1) — MARKET ANALYSIS
1. Market Structure (Wyckoff Context)
Gold has clearly completed a Wyckoff accumulation cycle and is now operating inside a confirmed Markup Phase.
Phase A: Selling pressure was absorbed, volatility expanded, and downside momentum was halted.
Phase B: Price transitioned into a broad consolidation, where supply was systematically absorbed while holding above key moving averages.
ST in Phase B: The final liquidity test confirmed strong demand.
Current State: Price has broken out decisively and is now in trend continuation, not distribution.
This structure validates that the current rally is institutionally driven, not a retail spike.
2. Trend & Moving Averages
Price is trading well above EMA34 and EMA89, both sloping upward.
Pullbacks remain shallow and corrective → no structural damage.
Each retracement forms higher lows, confirming trend strength.
As long as price remains above the rising EMA cluster, trend control stays with buyers.
3. Price Action Behavior
Strong impulsive legs followed by brief consolidations.
No aggressive rejection candles at highs → buyers remain active.
The current pause near 4,480–4,500 is bullish digestion, not exhaustion.
This is classic trend continuation behavior, where the market pauses to absorb supply before the next expansion.
4. Key Levels
Immediate Support: 4,350 – 4,380 (previous resistance turned support)
Structural Support: 4,260 – 4,280
Upside Target Zone: 4,530 – 4,560
A controlled pullback into support followed by continuation would be the highest-probability scenario.
5. Forward Scenario (Preferred)
Short-term consolidation or shallow pullback
Higher low formation above 4,380
Continuation toward 4,530+, as projected on the chart
Only a decisive breakdown below 4,260 would invalidate the bullish structure — currently low probability.
Conclusion
Gold is not peaking it is executing a textbook Wyckoff markup phase. The trend remains clean, momentum is controlled, and pullbacks are opportunities, not warnings.

Gold Hits a New All-Time HighHello everyone, let’s take a look at XAUUSD today.
Gold continues its strong rally, trading around 4,480 USD, up more than 111 USD compared to the same time yesterday. Notably, this marks a new all-time high, decisively breaking above the previous peak.
The sharp rise is driven by surging safe-haven demand at the start of a shortened trading week due to holidays, amid escalating geopolitical tensions.
Gold gained further momentum after weekend reports that the United States is pursuing a third oil tanker near Venezuela. According to a U.S. official, President Trump has intensified oil sanctions against the government of Nicolás Maduro.
Bloomberg reported that the tanker being pursued was operating under a false flag and is subject to a court seizure order, believed to be the Bella 1, a Panama-flagged vessel sanctioned by the U.S.
These actions follow earlier incidents in which the U.S. military boarded the supertanker Centuries and previously the vessel Skipper. The blockade appears to be pressuring Venezuela’s oil storage capacity and could lead to production declines and broader civil instability.
From a technical perspective, the next upside target for February gold futures bulls is a break above the strong resistance at 4,500 USD per ounce. Initial support is seen at 4,400 USD, followed by the overnight low at 4,365 USD.
I remain bullish on gold—what’s your view?
Gold 1H – Liquidity Compression Sets Traps Around 4500–4420🟡 XAUUSD – Intraday Smart Money Plan | by Ryan_TitanTrader (23/12)
📈 Market Context
Gold is trading inside a strong bullish structure after a clean impulsive expansion, currently hovering in a premium zone near recent highs. With price extended from the mean, the market is vulnerable to liquidity engineering rather than immediate continuation.
CPI uncertainty and mixed USD flows continue to reduce directional conviction, favoring stop hunts at key psychological levels instead of clean breakouts. This environment often rewards patience and confirmation-based execution rather than anticipation.
Smart Money is likely to manipulate both sides of the range — sweeping late buyers above 4500 or shaking out weak longs into the 4420 discount before the next meaningful expansion.
🔎 Technical Framework – Smart Money Structure (1H)
Current Phase: Bullish structure with signs of short-term distribution
Key Idea: Expect liquidity interaction at 4500–4502 (premium) or 4420–4418 (discount) before displacement
Structural Notes:
• Higher-timeframe bullish BOS remains intact
• Price is trading deep in premium, extended from equilibrium
• Clear impulsive leg created unmitigated FVGs below current price
• Momentum is slowing near highs → distribution risk
• Liquidity is resting clearly above 4500 and below 4420
Liquidity Zones & Triggers:
• 🔴 SELL GOLD 4500 – 4502 | SL 4510
• 🟢 BUY GOLD 4420 – 4418 | SL 4410
🧠 Institutional Flow Expectation:
Liquidity sweep → MSS / CHoCH → BOS → displacement → FVG / OB retest → expansion
🎯 Execution Rules (matching your exact zones)
🔴 SELL GOLD 4500 – 4502 | SL 4510
Rules:
✔ Sweep above psychological 4500 buy-side liquidity
✔ Bearish MSS / CHoCH on M5–M15
✔ Clear downside BOS with impulsive displacement
✔ Entry via bearish FVG refill or refined supply OB
Targets:
1. 4470
2. 4450
3. 4420 – extension if USD firms or risk-off accelerates
🟢 BUY GOLD 4420 – 4418 | SL 4410
Rules:
✔ Liquidity grab into discount and bullish structure support
✔ Bullish MSS / CHoCH confirms demand control
✔ Upside BOS with strong bullish displacement
✔ Entry via bullish FVG fill or demand OB retest
Targets:
1. 4450
2. 4475
3. 4500 – extension if USD weakens and bullish flow resumes
⚠️ Risk Notes
• Extended bullish moves increase fake breakout probability
• No entry without MSS + BOS confirmation
• Expect volatility during U.S. session
• Reduce risk around CPI-related or Fed-driven headlines
📍 Summary
Gold remains structurally bullish, but trading at premium levels where conviction is fragile. Smart Money is likely to engineer liquidity before the next expansion:
• A sweep above 4500 may fade toward 4450–4420, or
• A liquidity grab near 4420 could reload bullish flow toward 4475–4500+
Let price reveal intent — Smart Money waits, retail rushes. ⚡️
📌 Follow @Ryan_TitanTrader for daily Smart Money gold breakdowns.
XAUUSD Daily – Five-Wave Impulse Toward 4,530On the XAUUSD daily chart I’m tracking a potential five-wave advance within the existing uptrend.
Wave (1)** marks the initial impulsive leg higher from trendline support
Wave (2)** is the corrective pullback that holds above the origin of wave (1) and respects the rising trendline
Wave (3)** extends beyond the wave
(1) high, confirming continuation of the bullish structure and establishing a new swing high.
* Price is now correcting as **wave (4)** back into the area of:
* the rising trendline drawn from prior lows, and
* the former consolidation / breakout zone around the previous highs.
While price holds above the wave (4) low and the trendline, I’m anticipating a continuation leg to the upside as **wave (5)**.
The projected wave (5) objective is around 4,527, where I have a confluence of measured extension and overhead resistance.
A decisive daily close below the wave (4) low and trendline support would invalidate this wave count and delay the bullish scenario.
XAUUSD – Technical Pullback, Uptrend Still IntactHello everyone, let’s go through a few interesting developments in the gold market this week with Domic.
Gold is currently trading around 4,339 USD/oz after rebounding nearly 40 USD from the overnight low at 4,301. This is not a random bounce, but a familiar reaction when safe-haven flows return amid rising geopolitical risks.
The current focus comes from tougher moves by the US toward Venezuela and the risk of expanded sanctions on Russia’s energy sector. Supply disruption concerns have pushed oil prices up nearly 2%, triggering a broader defensive sentiment across financial markets. In this environment, gold continues to be favored as a safe-haven asset.
From a technical perspective on the H4 timeframe, XAUUSD’s uptrend remains firmly intact. Price continues to hold above both EMA34 and EMA89, with both moving averages clearly sloping upward. The pullback from the 4,350 area down toward 4,300 was clean and contained, without breaking the overall structure. This suggests a healthy pause to absorb profit-taking pressure rather than any signal of trend reversal.
Wishing you all a smooth and successful trading day!
GOLD: The Silent Takeover (Why Smart Money is Moving)The charts are speaking loud and clear. While the retail crowd is glued to the daily drama of Big Tech, Gold ( TVC:GOLD ) has entered a "pure trend" phase that is impossible to ignore.
Today we are breaking down why the yellow metal is currently the heavy hitter in the room.
1️⃣ THE DOMINANCE: Gold vs. The Giants 🥊
We always look for Relative Strength—assets that are moving UP when the rest of the market is struggling or moving sideways.
My latest scan shows TVC:GOLD is currently outperforming the market heavyweights. We are seeing Gold winning against:
The Tech Titans: Gaining ground against NASDAQ:AAPL , NASDAQ:MSFT , and $AMZN.
The Benchmarks: Showing stronger momentum than both the AMEX:SPY (S&P 500) and NASDAQ:QQQ (Nasdaq).
The Chip Leaders: While names like NASDAQ:NVDA are consolidating, the metals sector is expanding.
This isn't just a hedge anymore; it's an alpha generator.
2️⃣ THE TECHNICAL SETUP 📈
(Weekly Chart View) The price action on TVC:GOLD is textbook bullish.
The Breakout: We have smashed through the $4,300 level.
Trend Alignment: The Moving Averages are fanned out perfectly. There is no resistance overhead—just "Blue Sky" potential.
Momentum: The buying pressure is consistent. This isn't a spike; it's a ladder.
3️⃣ HOW TO TRADE THE RALLY? (The Watchlist) 📋
If you are looking to ride this wave, you need to know the vehicles available. Based on the current momentum, here are the tickers seeing the most action:
🔥 The "High Octane" (Leveraged Miners):
AMEX:GDXU : MicroSectors Gold Miners 3X – For those who want maximum aggressive exposure.
AMEX:JNUG : Direxion Daily Junior Gold Miners 2X – Junior miners often move faster (in both directions) than the majors.
AMEX:NUGT : Direxion Daily Gold Miners 2X – The standard for leveraged large-cap miner exposure.
🥈 The "Silver Sibling":
AMEX:AGQ : ProShares Ultra Silver – Silver often lags Gold, then catches up violently. Keep this on your radar.
🛡️ The "Steady" Hand:
AMEX:UGL : ProShares Ultra Gold – A 2x leveraged play on the metal spot price itself, avoiding miner-specific risks.
4️⃣ THE MACRO TAILWINDS 🌍
Why is this happening now?
The Fear Trade: Global uncertainty is funneling liquidity back into hard assets.
Fiat Hedges: With central banks worldwide continuing to print, Smart Money is treating Gold as the ultimate insurance policy.
Rate Expectations: As we look toward future rate cuts, non-yielding assets like Gold become mathematically more attractive.
💡 THE VERDICT
The trend is up, the momentum is real, and the relative strength is undeniable. Whether you are trading the spot price or the leveraged miners, the wind is at your back.
⚠️ RISK MANAGEMENT:
Leveraged ETFs like AMEX:GDXU and AMEX:JNUG are volatile instruments designed strictly for intraday or short-term trading.
CRITICAL WARNING: These are NOT for buy-and-hold strategies. Professional traders typically only use these for short swings and exit quickly.
If you are inexperienced, DO NOT TOUCH THESE. Leverage magnifies losses significantly. Most beginners lose money here. Educate yourself fully before trading.
