Silver have more room to surgeSilver briefly surged to a new record high, exceeding 116 USD/ounce, before consolidating around 110 USD/ounce, propelled by escalating geopolitical tensions initiated by the US. Markets anticipate a "polycrisis" as the new paradigm, disrupting the post-World War II global order. Consequently, investors are diversifying away from Gold into other precious metals, such as Silver and Palladium.
The Gold/Silver ratio collapsed from a peak of 110 to 46, trending toward the 2011 low of 32. Persistent geopolitical risks could drive prices to the 160–200 USD/ounce range. Silver maintains a high correlation with Gold but exhibits a higher standard deviation, which may amplify price gains—particularly as supply deficits loom due to surging demand from the energy transition and AI infrastructure.
Technically, XAGUSD retreated to test the EMA21 before rebounding above both expanding EMAs, signaling a continued uptrend.
If price surpasses the recent swing high, XAGUSD could target the 227.2% Fibonacci extension at 131.
Conversely, failure to sustain levels above the EMA21 may trigger a retest of the lower trendline boundary.

XAUUSD H1 – Detailed Market Structure AnalysisGold is currently trading at all-time highs, confirming a strong impulsive bullish trend on the H1 timeframe. The rally into ATH was fast and decisive, leaving behind a clear price imbalance (GAP) around the 4,990–5,010 region, which is a classic sign of aggressive institutional participation rather than exhaustion. This type of expansion typically does not reverse immediately; instead, the market pauses to rebalance liquidity before continuation.
From a structural perspective, the previous demand zone near ~4,900 acted as a successful launchpad, producing a clean continuation leg and validating buyers’ control. The EMA 98 is trending upward and remains well below price, reinforcing that the current move is still in a markup phase, not late distribution. Importantly, there is no confirmed lower high or bearish structure break at this stage.
The most probable path forward is a corrective pullback into the GAP zone, where price can mitigate inefficiency and absorb resting buy orders. As long as this gap holds and price does not accept below it, any retracement should be treated as bullish consolidation, not weakness. Following stabilization inside or above the gap, the structure favors a renewed expansion toward the next upside objective around 5,110–5,140, extending beyond current ATH levels.
Invalidation only appears if price loses the GAP and breaks decisively below the demand zone, which would signal momentum failure. Until that occurs, the dominant narrative remains unchanged: Gold is trending, pullbacks are corrective, and the path of least resistance is higher.
WTI: False breakout above the range — seller priorityHi traders and investors!
On the 4-hour timeframe, a false-breakout pattern has formed above the upper boundary of the range.
The chart shows that key volume was accumulated above the range high (highlighted by the blue band), after which the price returned back into the range.
The seller initiative is currently active. The initiative target is 59.068, which aligns with a daily level, adding confluence to the scenario.
In the current context, it makes sense to look for short (sell) patterns.
Profitable trades!
This analysis is based on the Initiative Analysis (IA) method.
Liquidity Cleared, Gold Setting Up the Next Leg HigherOANDA:XAUUSD has just completed a powerful expansion leg that pushed price into a new all-time high region, and the current pullback should be viewed through the lens of liquidity management, not trend failure. On the one hour timeframe, the market has clearly transitioned from a steady accumulation phase into an impulsive markup, leaving behind multiple unfilled inefficiencies and a well-defined demand zone around five thousand to four thousand nine hundred eighty. This area is not random. it represents the last consolidation before the vertical expansion, where smart money accumulated inventory before driving price higher.
From a structure perspective, the sequence is constructive. The impulsive move from the previous base formed a clean five wave advance, with wave three accelerating through prior resistance and wave five extending toward the five thousand one hundred ninety to five thousand two hundred region. After such a move, it is statistically normal for price to retrace into prior demand to rebalance liquidity. The projected corrective structure labeled as A–B–C is consistent with a healthy bullish continuation: wave A initiates profit-taking, wave B traps late buyers into thinking the uptrend has resumed, and wave C completes the correction by sweeping remaining sell-side liquidity resting below the demand zone.
Liquidity dynamics strongly support this scenario. The all time high area above five thousand one hundred is a major pool of buy side liquidity, but markets rarely move straight through such levels without first clearing internal liquidity below. The current pullback is effectively a liquidity cleanse removing weak long positions and triggering protective stops which resets positioning and allows stronger hands to re-enter at better prices. As long as price holds above the demand zone near four thousand nine hundred eighty to five thousand, the bullish structure remains intact.
On the macro side, gold continues to benefit from persistent uncertainty: elevated geopolitical risk, long-term concerns over sovereign debt, and expectations that global monetary conditions will remain accommodative longer than previously priced. Even when short-term rate expectations fluctuate, gold has shown relative strength, signaling that capital is flowing into it as a strategic hedge rather than a short-term trade. This macro backdrop supports the idea that dips are being accumulated, not sold aggressively.
From a market psychology standpoint, this is the classic late-stage breakout behavior. Retail traders tend to chase strength near all time highs, while professional participants wait for pullbacks into demand. The current retracement is designed to shake confidence, create fear of a “top,” and entice premature short positions fuel that can later drive the next expansion once price reclaims momentum.
Trading Plan & Key Levels:
As long as price respects the demand zone between four thousand nine hundred eighty and five thousand, the bias remains bullish. A strong reaction and higher low from this area would open the path for another push toward five thousand one hundred ninety to five thousand two hundred, with a confirmed break potentially extending the trend further. A sustained breakdown and acceptance below four thousand nine hundred eighty would invalidate the immediate bullish scenario and suggest a deeper correction instead.
Summary:
This is not weakness it is rotation. Gold has already proven strength by reaching new highs. What we are seeing now is a controlled reset of structure and liquidity before the market decides whether it is ready to continue toward the five thousand two hundred objective. Patience here is key; let the market show its hand at demand.
Copper: Following Gold and SilverAs the weekly chart indicates, we foresee a pronounced sell-off as part of the green wave , but not before finishing its current run to conclude the magenta wave (Y) and therefore the overreaching green wave around the $7.00 mark.
The then following and before mentioned wave should bring copper down into our green long target zone between $4.56 and $4.06.
Gold long term targetsAs I personally think we will see gold hitting 5600$!
Based on what?
Well this is why I think what I think !
My first target hit long ago(as you can see in the image) and I sold all my Long term position already...Sadly.
I honestly thought price would have retraced a bit but instead it didn't even stop.
This strongly convince me , now that we have created a monthly FVG above 0.75 DRT level, that price will retrace in it and that will give me an advantage to open a light swing trade to last target 5600$.
Check it out and see if you like the idea.
Silver bullish breakout supported at 9900The Silver remains in a bullish trend, with recent price action showing signs of a breakout within the broader uptrend.
Support Zone: 9900 – a key level from previous consolidation. Price is currently testing or approaching this level.
A bullish rebound from 9900 would confirm ongoing upside momentum, with potential targets at:
11200 – initial resistance
11617 – psychological and structural level
12070 – extended resistance on the longer-term chart
Bearish Scenario:
A confirmed break and daily close below 9900 would weaken the bullish outlook and suggest deeper downside risk toward:
9468 – minor support
9010 – stronger support and potential demand zone
Outlook:
Bullish bias remains intact while the Silver holds above 9900. A sustained break below this level could shift momentum to the downside in the short term.

Gold Options Expiry: The $4,375 "Gravity" vs. StatisticalHey traders!
Tomorrow is a financial battleground for the gold market. It's the major monthly options expiry, and the numbers reveal a fascinating tug-of-war. Let’s break down the forces at play and what they mean for the price.
The Setup: Huge Open Interest
Looking at the latest data, we have over **126,000 open call contracts** and more than **155,000 open put contracts** set to expire. Here’s the breakdown:
Calls:
- In the Money (ITM): 105,859
- At the Money (ATM): 68
- Out of the Money (OTM): 20,572
- Total OI: 126,499
Puts:
- In the Money (ITM): 111
- At the Money (ATM): 47
- Out of the Money (OTM): 154,874
- Total OI: 155,032
That’s a massive pile of open interest, with most puts sitting deep out of the money—a sign that a lot of traders have been betting on a drop or hedge there bull trades.
But the story doesn't end here.
The "Gravity" of Max Pain
The Max Pain level is currently sitting at $4,375.
What is Max Pain? Think of it as the "house's" ideal price. Option sellers (market makers and institutions) collect premiums from buyers. They make the most money if options expire worthless. The Max Pain price is the strike where the maximum number of options (both puts and calls) expire worthless, causing the most financial "pain" to buyers and maximum profit for sellers.
The theory suggests that as expiry approaches, the price will be gravitationally pulled toward this level. If you take this theory at face value, gold should drop from its current to $4,375 by tomorrow's close.
But… Is That Even Possible?
Here’s where we need to pump the brakes. Statistically speaking, the odds of such a move are close to zero—and here’s why.
On developed markets, asset price moves are largely governed by well-known mathematical and statistical boundaries, especially the **expected volatility range**. Hedge funds and institutional traders have relied on these ranges for years to guide their decisions. The range is defined by standard deviations:
- 1st standard deviation:** Price stays within this range 68% of the time (up or down).
- 2nd standard deviation:** 95% probability.
- 3rd standard deviation:** 98% probability.
So, to seriously claim that gold will hit $4,375 by tomorrow’s close, you’d need to calculate the 3rd standard deviation from today’s settlement and see if $4,375 is even in the realm of possibility.
In my experience, I do these calculations right after the daily clearing and plot them on the current gold futures chart. (If you’re not up for the math, just follow my posts—I regularly share these volatility bands and show how well they work. Spoiler: price bounces or stalls at these levels with at least 70% effectiveness.)
Can Gravity Break the Leash?
Now, let's be data-driven analysts and combine our two forces:
Max Pain "Gravity" Target: $4,375.
Statistical "Leash" Range for Today(3rd SD): $4,855-5,300
The conclusion is immediate and powerful: The Max Pain level of $4.375 lies far outside the probable 3rd standard deviation statistical range.
For the price to reach $4,375, it would need to break not just the 1st, but likely the 2nd or even 3rd standard deviation boundary. While not impossible, this is a very low-probability event.
The Bottom Line: What to Expect
So, will gold collapse to $4,375 tomorrow? Statistically, the odds are heavily against it. The "leash" of volatility is too short.
The theory of Max Pain is a vital tool for identifying points of financial interest, but it's not a crystal ball. It works best when the Max Pain level falls inside the statistical volatility range. When it's outside, volatility almost always wins.
In a hot market like gold, where every dip is being bought, a low-probability statistical move becomes even less likely.
Instead of a crash to Max Pain, a more probable scenario is for the price to remain pinned within its statistical range (for today $4,855-5,300), possibly testing the lower bound of that range.
I hope this article has sparked your interest in diving deeper into these topics and prompted you to start incorporating statistical data into your trading decisions. This is precisely the kind of edge that is essential for successful practical trading

SilverOver the last 10 trading days, silver futures have exhibited a strong bullish trend, extending a powerful rally that began in late 2025. The price has advanced from roughly $88–90/oz to above $105/oz, with successive higher highs and higher lows
Surpassed ~$100/oz decisively and sustained above this psychological threshold toward recent highs near ~$110/oz
The rally has been supported by risk-on flows as the US dollar softened and safe-haven and industrial demand factors strengthened. Speculative positioning and ETF inflows have underpinned upside interest, though sentiment signals indicate extended bullishness and potential for corrections..

XAUUSD 1H – Bullish Continuation with Mapped TargetsGold (XAUUSD) is trading in a strong bullish structure on the 1H timeframe, characterized by consistent higher highs and higher lows. Price is currently consolidating near recent highs, indicating healthy price action and potential continuation rather than reversal.
This chart highlights:
A clear buy-on-dip zone aligned with previous demand
A well-defined invalidation level to manage risk
Multiple upside targets based on market expansion and liquidity zones
As long as price holds above the key structure support, the bullish bias remains valid. Breakout or pullback confirmations from the marked zone may offer continuation opportunities in the direction of the trend.
⚠️ A strong close below the invalidation level would signal a possible shift into correction or consolidation.

XAUUSD Long: Bullish Trend Intact Below the $5,000 Supply ZoneHello traders! Here’s a clear technical breakdown of XAUUSD (1H) based on the current chart structure. Gold is trading within a well-defined bullish trend, supported by a clean ascending channel that has guided price higher from the lower levels. Earlier in the move, XAUUSD respected the lower boundary of the channel and formed a sequence of higher highs and higher lows, confirming sustained buyer control. During this advance, price entered a consolidation range, signaling temporary balance and accumulation before continuation. This range eventually resolved to the upside, triggering a strong impulsive breakout and accelerating bullish momentum. After the breakout, Gold pushed higher within the ascending channel and approached a major Supply Zone near the psychological 5,000 level. At this area, price showed hesitation and formed a fake breakout above resistance, indicating that sellers were active near the highs. Following this rejection, XAUUSD pulled back toward the mid-lower area of the channel, where previous resistance has now turned into a Demand Zone around 4,870. This zone aligns with channel support and a key structural level, making it an important area for buyer reaction. The recent dip into demand appears corrective rather than impulsive, suggesting a pause within the broader uptrend.
Currently, XAUUSD is trading above the demand zone and remains inside the ascending channel, with buyers defending structure. The market is compressing after the pullback, which often precedes continuation in trending conditions.
My scenario: as long as Gold holds above the 4,870 demand zone and continues to respect the ascending channel, the bullish bias remains intact. A renewed push higher could lead to another test of the 5,000 Supply Zone (TP1). A clean breakout and acceptance above this level would confirm trend continuation and open the door for further upside expansion. However, failure to hold demand and a breakdown below channel support would weaken the bullish setup and signal a deeper corrective phase. For now, structure and momentum continue to favor buyers. Manage your risk!
GBPJPY: targets at 214 and 216🛠 Technical Analysis: On the H4 chart, GBPJPY remains in a clear ascending channel, keeping the broader bullish structure intact. Price is currently in a pullback toward the 211.8–210.9 support area, where buyers previously defended momentum. The SMA cluster (50/100) is nearby and can act as a pivot—holding above support favors a continuation push. A sustained rebound from this zone opens the path back toward the 214.25 resistance, with the channel top as a potential extension.
