Gold on the defensive: July low at 3942 is the line in the sand Gold sold off sharply yesterday. That big red daily candle took the price straight down to the March low at 4099. Here's what the charts are telling us across three timeframes. 📉 Daily chart Price is back below the 55-day moving average. We said this level had to hold to keep a bullish bias, and it hasn't. There was also a clear rejection from the 4402 pivot, so the bias is now negative. Support is close by, though. The March low at 4099 lines up with a trendline going back to January 2026. We

The Bear Market Is Ending A month away from the charts for family reasons, and I'm back. You sent a big batch of questions this week, so I'm answering them here with the chart in front of us. All year I said this market would fall, and it did. Now the bear market is ending and a bull market is starting. That bull runs for years, so there is no rush. But cheap prices don't last. This is most likely your last window to buy these assets while they're still on sale. I hope my posts have helped you and your trading account,

AAPL Calls or Puts? This Box Decides the Trade AAPL is trading around $336.72 premarket (as of 7:53 AM ET), under my box. Being under the box before the bell isn't a trade on its own. I'm waiting for the open to confirm it. The box (Monday's last 15-minute candle) Top: $338.93 Bottom: $338.21 This is my break-and-retest level for the day. Price has to close outside it on the 2-minute chart with real volume before I pick a side. Call targets: $340.98, then $342.99 (Monday's high), then $345.15 Put targets: $335.82, then $334.23, then $331.

Will USD/CHF Volatility Redefine Global Safe Havens?Macroeconomics and Economics The USD/CHF pair currently tests the critical 0.8300 barrier. After the SNB’s September decision, the pair reached its highest level since late May. The US Dollar surges on rising Federal Reserve rate hike bets. Prediction markets price a seventy percent probability for an October 28 increase. Elevated oil prices aggressively exacerbate American inflation concerns. Meanwhile, the Swiss National Bank maintains a zero percent policy rate. It held that rate on Septembe

ORCL 1D: the line Oracle keeps coming back to Oracle has come back to the same line four times this year. On Monday it closed about nine percent below it. This is Oracle on the daily, log scale, with Accumulate - our structural layer. It draws a reference, and when price falls below that reference the layer opens a zone: the area where a structural base gets built over time. Not a call on a single bar - a window. How the line got here . Through 2025 the reference rose slowly under price, then flattened in the high 140s as Oracle ran to

Oil Is Surging. So Why Is Gold Falling?Brent crude TVC:UKOIL pushed above $100 a barrel Monday after hopes for progress between the US and Iran faded over the weekend. President Donald Trump rejected an Iranian proposal linked to reopening the Strait of Hormuz, bringing the risk of prolonged disruption to one of the world's most important energy routes back into focus. Ordinarily, the recipe seems straightforward: geopolitical uncertainty rises, investors look for safety and gold gains. Except gold brought no gains. Spot gold

XAUUSD | Oil Rebound Pressures Gold on Fed-Hike Expectations Macro approach: - Gold prices extended their decline as a rebound in oil prices reinforced expectations that the Fed may keep monetary policy tighter for longer. - The shift in rate expectations pushed US Treasury yields and the US dollar higher, adding pressure to the non-yielding metal. - With energy prices sustaining inflation concerns, the prospect of further Fed rate hikes remains a headwind for gold. Technical approach: - After a brief retesting the key support at 4260, XAUUSD rebounded t

SNDK: Fibonacci Support Bounce with Multi-Targets 📊 Macro & Technical Breakdown (SNDK) SanDisk Corporation (SNDK) is shaping up for a high-probability bullish continuation on the daily chart. As a core infrastructure play driving the current AI boom through massive NAND flash demand, the stock is heavily backed by strong sector tailwinds and recent explosive data center revenue updates. Looking strictly at the structural blueprint of the chart: 1. Trend Structure: The price action shows a confirmed shift into a bullish regime. After gen

When Markets Hit Records, Should You Still Be Buying?The Nasdaq NASDAQ:IXIC is back at record highs . The S&P 500 SPCFD:SPX and Dow TVC:DJI have recently been there too. AI stocks are running again, AMD NASDAQ:AMD has crossed the $1 trillion mark while traders stare at their screens and ask: Should I buy at the top? It's one of the most natural instincts in markets. We happily buy a TV after its price falls 20%, yet become suspicious when stocks do the opposite. Surely waiting for a pullback is smarter than buying at the highest price

US100 Technical Breakdown: Critical Value Area Low Retest Ahead!NAS100 is building momentum around a critical inflection point, and the tension between macro drivers and technical execution is tightly coiled 🌍. The broader index narrative is being heavily influenced by shifting rate-cut expectations and big-tech positioning heading into high-impact economic releases 🏦. Detached market chatter suggests retail traders are heavily biased toward catching a bottom, creating a crowded long sentiment that could easily serve as fuel for a classic liquidity hunt befo

AAPL | September 23, 2026 | Uptrend, Liquidity & Institutional Today's AAPL review focused on the upward trend line, where institutional activity may be showing up, and why retail stop losses can become important liquidity areas. I started with the trend line because it helps me understand the structure first. If AAPL continues respecting an upward trend, I want to know where buyers have previously stepped in and where that structure could start to weaken. From there, I looked at the psychology happening around those levels. In today's video, I covered:

Is Apple Stock Getting Too Expensive?Key Points 1. Apple is close to its 52-week high. Shares are trading near $339, just below the $345.34 -week high, after a strong run this year. 2. The P/E is well above Apple’s long-term norm. The stock is trading around 39 times trailing earnings, compared with a roughly 26x average over the past decade. 3. Earnings growth is expected to slow. Analysts see EPS growing about 19% in FY2026, but only around 8% in FY2027. That makes the current valuation an important part of the Apple story.

BTC - Moving Averages says BOTTOM IN !Decembers and the period leading up to it have generally been a period of upward trading for BTC. If we take a look at the daily timeframe, there are a few signs that the bottom may be in: 👉 Three Drives Down pattern ended 👉 Moving Averages Bullish Cross 👉 W-Bottom pattern (👉 approaching year end...) 👉 Three Drives Down pattern ended early 👉 Moving Averages Bullish Cross 👉 W-Bottom pattern This one is a bit of a hard spot, since it is such a "flat" pattern in the 4h, that effectively

USOIL at 90$ last pump to 98-103$ before going lower. TVC:USOIL To me it's trading inside a daily bear flag, we are near the support of the bear flag, we bounce right off the 50ema day at 89$ today 22 september 2026. Daily there's 2 gap's from 98-100$, then on the 12hr a fair value gap at 103$ish. So that'S why I'm bullish and see it go up to 98-103$ before a possible move down. If breaks the white line and near resistance red trend line at 105$ and stay above for like 2-4 day's it should continue much higher. If not should go back down, note that

ORLY - Higher time frames are aligning for a trade setup The weekly/daily are lookin' flaggy. On the monthly, you can see us fighting to hold a 6 year trend line - having teased it and taken lower time frame liquidity on strong volume. I'm tempted to risk the $82 lows and take it to the upper end of the taper at $98. However, I think the better play is to wait for a break above the flip zone at $90, risk $88 as our stop, and play the breakout to ATH's. But definitely an enticing setup if today's turnaround can prove to be the beginning of new bull

COUPANG INC (CPNG:US)COUPANG INC (CPNG:US) Currently, the market is punishing CPNG shares, driving them down to levels around $14.50 due to short-term factors (a one-time regulatory fine and a temporary margin contraction resulting from the Farfetch integration). At the same time, the underlying business continues to demonstrate 10% organic growth on a constant-currency basis, an exceptionally strong cash position (over $5 billion), and a massive share buyback program ($459 million).

XAU/USD 22 September 2026 Intraday Analysis H4 Analysis: -> Swing: Bullish. -> Internal: Bearish. Bias and analysis to remain the same as analysis dated 30 June 2026. Price did not print bullish CHoCH to indicate bullish pullback phase initiation. Price instead printed a new low followed by a bullish CHoCH Price is currently trading within and established internal range, however, I will continue to monitor price with respect to depth of pullback. Intraday expectation: Price to trade up to either premium of internal 50% EQ, or

SPY = Bull Trap - Don't Get Slaughtered My read is that this whole post-FOMC move in both SPY and Bitcoin was a FOMO pump, not a healthy breakout. The abbreviated rate-hike selloff last week was a joke - now the real sell off begins. Institutions started the distribution and rotation right at the end of the day. The last 2 days is exact kind of move that gets retail chasing calls and buying the top because they are terrified they're going to miss the next leg higher. As we ended today, it was all engines go for launch - which is pre
