Gold (XAU/USD) Technical Analysis : Structural Analysis + TargetGold is currently trading near $3,292 on the 30-minute timeframe, showing classic signs of accumulation and compression within a well-respected descending channel. The current price action is approaching a critical decision zone, and the market is offering potential clues for both short-term and swing traders. 🔎 Detailed Breakdown of Chart Elements: 🔷 1. Descending Channel & Dynamic Support Gold has been moving inside a falling channel, with price repeatedly reacting to both the upper and lower boundaries. The lower boundary of the channel, currently acting as support, has been tested multiple times, suggesting a strong buying interest at this level. This channel also aligns with the broader downtrend structure, giving sellers confidence while also creating interest for counter-trend buyers looking for reversal setups. 📐 2. Trendline Pressure and Compression A downward sloping trendline, drawn from the recent swing highs, continues to apply bearish pressure. Price is squeezing between the channel support and this descending trendline — a tight range compression, which often precedes a volatile breakout. The analysis notes: “We have to wait for a trendline breakout” – this is a crucial technical signal that will determine the next move. 🚧 3. Break of Structure (BOS) Zones Two potential bullish BOS (Break of Structure) levels have been identified: Minor BOS (~$3,300): A break above this level may signal short-term bullish intent and invalidate minor lower highs. Early confirmation for buyers to enter with tight risk management. Major BOS (~$3,310): This is the key swing high which, if broken, would invalidate the current bearish structure and flip market sentiment bullish. A strong bullish candle closing above this level could signal the start of a larger upward leg. 📍 4. Next Reversal Zone (Supply Area: $3,320 – $3,330) This zone represents a strong supply area where previous price action saw heavy selling. If bulls manage to clear the BOS zones, this area becomes the next target/resistance. Price reaching this level could lead to a pullback, making it an ideal area for partial take-profits or reassessment of continuation trades. 📈 5. Scenario Planning & Strategy ✅ Bullish Bias (If Breakout Occurs): Wait for a confirmed breakout above the trendline and Minor BOS with volume. Ideal long entry would be on the retest of the trendline (now acting as support). First target: Major BOS, then extend to the Reversal Zone. Stop-loss can be placed below the channel support or latest swing low. 🚫 Bearish Continuation (If No Breakout): If price fails to break above the trendline and continues to reject at resistance, sellers may look to short the retest of the trendline. Targets can be set at the channel's lower boundary or previous lows. Confirmation: Bearish engulfing patterns, rejection wicks, or divergence. 🧠 Technical Summary & Outlook Gold is currently in a neutral to slightly bullish consolidation, showing early signs of demand at the bottom of the channel. The market is in "wait-and-watch" mode — traders should focus on the trendline breakout, which will serve as the trigger for directional bias. The structure is clean, zones are well defined, and potential is high for both scalping and intraday setups. Traders are advised to stay patient and follow price action confirmation before entering trades. 📌 Key Levels to Watch: Support Zone: $3,280 – $3,285 (Channel Base) Trendline Resistance: ~$3,294–$3,296 Minor BOS: ~$3,300 Major BOS: ~$3,310 Reversal Zone (Supply): $3,320 – $3,330

Gold Short Term OutlookYesterday, we highlighted that gold had reclaimed the 200MA and that the $3,327 support level needed to hold for further upside. Since then, price has steadily climbed and is now testing the $3,364 resistance — a level that also aligns with an unfilled gap. Price action remains bullish for now, with price holding firmly above both the 50MA and 200MA. If buyers manage to clear and hold above $3,364, we could see further upside toward $3,383 and $3,400, with possible extension into $3,418. However, if price fails to break above $3,364, we may see a pullback into the $3,335–$3,327 zone. A break below there could open the door for a deeper drop into $3,298 or even $3,270. 📌 Key Levels to Watch: Resistance: $3,364 • $3,383 • $3,400 • $3,418 Support: $3,352 •$3,335 - $3,327 • $3,298 • $3,270 🧠 Fundamental Focus: 📌 ADP Non-Farm Employment Change 📌 Initial Jobless Claims 📌 ISM Services PMI 📌 ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI ⚠️ With multiple red folder events on the calendar, expect elevated intraday volatility. Manage risk accordingly.

Gold Short Term OutlookGold dipped into the Support Zone but failed to sustain the breakdown below it. After briefly breaking below the zone, price has rebounded and is now attempting a short-term recovery. However, structure remains bearish, with price trading below both the 50MA and 200MA, signalling continued downside pressure unless momentum shifts. For bullish momentum to continue, we need to see a clean break and hold above $3,330, which may open the path toward $3,346, then $3,361. If the move up doesn’t hold, the next reaction is expected near key support. 🔑 Key Levels: Resistance: $3,330 • $3,346 • $3,361 • $3,375 Support: $3,306 • $3,287 • $3,271 • $3,242 📌 Stay patient and wait for confirmation before committing to a direction.

Gold Short Term OutlookGold is currently trading around $3,368, caught between dynamic moving average resistance and an intraday resistance zone. Price must break and hold above the $3,378 resistance to open the path toward $3,395. A confirmed break above the key $3,395 level could signal the start of the next bullish leg. However, repeated failure to break above $3,395 — or even $3,378 — may drag gold lower into key support zones. 📌 Key Levels to Watch: Resistance: $3,375 • $3,395 • $3,418 • $3,439 Support: $3,361 • $3,346 • $3,330 / $3,306 $3,287 – Critical demand zone 🧠 Fundamental Insight: Gold remains supported amid rising geopolitical tensions. Over the weekend, U.S. airstrikes targeted Iranian nuclear sites, escalating concerns over a broader conflict in the Middle East. This has reignited safe-haven demand, with gold catching a bid despite recent technical pullbacks. Meanwhile, traders are weighing softer U.S. inflation signals against the Fed’s cautious stance. If tensions persist and economic data weakens, gold could benefit from both risk-off flows and increased speculation around potential rate cuts.

Gold Medium Term OutlookGold is currently trending within a rising channel after rejecting the $3,439 resistance zone, which marked a new Higher High (HH). Price is respecting the ascending channel support and is now testing the 50MA. The uptrend remains intact, with a sequence of Higher Lows (HL) and Higher Highs (HH) forming within the channel. A break and hold above $3,378 could open the path for a re-test of $3,439 and potentially $3,501. However, failure to hold the rising channel support may shift momentum bearish, with $3,303 and $3,226 as the next major downside targets. 📌 Key Levels to Watch This Week: Resistance: $3,378 • $3,439 • $3,501 Support: $3,303 • $3,226 • $3,171 🧠 Fundamental Insight: Gold remains supported amid rising geopolitical tensions.

Weekly Market Outlook: FOMC, Trade Deals and GeopoliticsIt is a holiday-shortened week, with the majority of markets halting early on Thursday, June 19, 2025, in observance of Juneteenth. See here for holiday trading schedule Key Themes to Monitor This Week Geopolitical Risks Any outside intervention in the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict will likely be seen as a risk-off event by market participants. Despite Friday’s sell-off, markets shrugged off during the Sunday open and overnight sessions. There are potential risks to trade routes and energy infrastructure, although disruptions seem unlikely at the moment. Amena Bakr at Kpler noted that, so far, there are no signs of disruptions in oil loadings from Iran. Without a supply outage, there is no pressing need for additional barrels to be brought onto the market. Trade War and Trade Deals There have been recent developments with the U.S. reaching key trade deal milestones with several countries. The baseline scenario remains optimistic, with expectations for an extension in negotiations and potential reciprocal tariffs for countries failing to reach agreements. FED Week This is a key week for U.S. monetary policy, with the FOMC decision, Summary of Economic Projections (SEP), and Chair Powell’s press conference scheduled. Traders will be closely watching how the Fed’s inflation and growth expectations have evolved, as reflected in the SEP. All eyes will be on the dot plot to note how interest rate expectations have evolved since last quarter. Of note: Will President Trump’s continued calls for rate cuts influence Chair Powell’s tone or guidance? Expectations for the Week Ahead NQ futures have continued one-time framing higher, consistently creating higher lows since the week of April 21, 2025. A strong support zone exists below, anchored at the yearly Volume Point of Control (VPOC) and the Anchored VWAP from May 11, 2025, when markets gapped higher. Key Levels to Watch • yVAH: 22,690.50 • R2: 22,510 • R1 / Previous Week High: 22,322.50 • May 11 AVWAP: 21,672.25 • yVPOC: 21,660 Scenario 1: Market Grinds Higher but Stays Cautious Despite several looming risk factors, the market could continue to grind higher. In this scenario, we anticipate a test above the prior week's high, followed by a potential pullback into last week’s range. Example Trade Idea 1 • Entry: 22,000 • Stop: 21,930 • Target: 22,322 • Risk: 70 pts • Reward: 322 pts • Risk-Reward Ratio: 4.6R Scenario 2: Pullback to Support, Range-Bound Consolidation If the market pulls back, we expect the yearly VPOC and AVWAP from May 11 to act as key support levels. In this case, price action may remain range-bound within the previous week’s range, forming an inside week. Example Trade Idea 2 • Entry: 21,672 • Stop: 21,600 • Target: 22,000 • Risk: 72 pts • Reward: 328 pts • Risk-Reward Ratio: 4.6R ________________________________________ Glossary • VPOC: Volume Point of Control • VA: Value Area • VAL: Value Area Low • VAH: Value Area High • VP: Volume Profile • AVP: Anchored Volume Profile • Y: Yearly • pWk: Previous Week

NVDA Support and Resistance Lines Valid from June 1 to 30Overview: These purple lines act as Support and resistance lines when the price moves into these lines from the bottom or the top direction. Based on the direction of the price movement one can take long or short entries. Trading Timeframes I usually use 30min candlesticks to swing trade options by holding 2-3 days max. Anyone can also use 3hr or 4hrs to do 2 weeks max swing trades for massive up or down movements. I post these 1st week of every month and are valid till the end of the month.

Why Higher Timeframe Analysis Increases Your WIN-RATE!Many traders focus too heavily on lower timeframes, chasing setups without any real context. But what if the secret to improving your consistency was as simple as zooming out? In this video, we break down why analyzing higher timeframes—and trading in their direction—can significantly increase your win rate across Forex, crypto, stocks, and futures. This isn’t just a theory. It’s a principle used by institutional traders, prop firms, and consistently profitable independent traders. ✅ Here’s what you’ll learn in this deep-dive: The real purpose of higher timeframe analysis and how it acts like a GPS for your trading decisions. How to identify structure, liquidity, and key levels on the daily, 4H, and weekly charts Why trading against the higher timeframe flow often leads to premature stop-outs or fakeouts The power of multi-timeframe alignment: how to sync HTF bias with LTF entries How trading with higher timeframe momentum helps filter noise, reduce overtrading, and increase conviction A walkthrough example showing how to use HTF context to validate a lower timeframe setup Whether you're trading ICT concepts, Fibs, RSI, VWAP, or your own system—this principle applies. Trading in alignment with the higher timeframe doesn’t just increase your odds, it adds structure, patience, and confidence to your process. 📌 Key takeaway: When you understand what the market is doing on the higher timeframe, you stop guessing and start positioning yourself with the move—not against it. 🛠️ Helpful for traders using: Smart money concepts (SMC) ICT-based models (like AMD, OTE, and NDOG) Supply and demand strategies Price action or indicator-based systems PRACTICALLY ANY TYPE OF STRATEGY OR METHODOLOGY So, I hope the video was insightful for you. Let me know if you apply higher timeframe analysis, and how it has helped you. - R2F Trading

ES Trade Idea and Upcoming NFP ReportCME_MINI:ES1! • What has the market done? ES futures are lagging compared to tech heavy index NQ futures. ES futures are still below yearly open. Yearly open has been a strong area of resistance since the rally of April 6th Lows in futures complex. • What is it trying to do? ES futures are in consolidation mode, building value higher. VPOC has shifted higher since the gap up from May 11th open. VPOC and 0.786 fib level provide a base for a continuation higher. • How good of a job is it doing? Markets seem to be slowing its rally. After such a strong rebound, participants are wary of any pull-backs. Although a strong trend higher, consolidation or a pullback is not illogical at these levels. • What is more likely to happen from here? o Scenario 1: Hold steady and NFP provides needed boost for markets to get across yearly open resistance and climb higher. o Scenario 2: A mixed NFP report may point towards further consolidation. Key level 5873 as support on move lower before reverting higher. o Scenario 3: A hawkish NFP report that signals higher for longer rates, may be interpreted by market participants as less monetary stimulus and dwindling rate cut bets for this year. We anticipate a sell-off towards 0.618 fib level in this scenario, moving to the lower edge of micro composite volume profile. In all the above scenarios, there is a clear LIS at yearly open. Other key levels are defined cleanly on the higher time frame. Important thing for traders to note here is to trade what you see and not what you think. Having an alignment between fundamentals and technicals is sound but the markets do what they do, and price moves where it should. Painting narrative to any move may sound fancy but it gets less important at intraday time frames in our opinion. Hence why we view all this considering auction markets and volume profile.
