Not Every Rate Cut Is Bullish — The Gold Trap UnfoldsMarket Overview Overall, the recent fundamentals remain bearish for gold: The 25bps rate cut had no bullish impact, as it was already fully priced in earlier during the recent rally. Jerome Powell indicated that the December rate cut is no longer guaranteed — market expectations dropped from 90% to 60%, creating fresh pressure on gold. The US–China meeting brought positive signals on tariff reductions and trade easing, which also adds to the downside pressure on safe-haven assets like gold. However, remember — geopolitical dynamics can shift instantly, and in the end, technical analysis remains the king of this market. Recap from Wednesday’s Analysis (Oct 29, 2025) Yesterday, when gold was trading near 3963, I mentioned: “A drop below 3945 signals mild retracement, below 3928 confirms faster downside momentum, and a break under 3898–3883 confirms full bearish control. On the upside, resistance stands at 3970–3983, and a breakout targets 4017–4020.” Indeed, gold broke above 3970–3983 and reached 4025–4030, where it faced strong resistance for nearly five hours before reversing lower. Current Outlook Before discussing any potential bullish recovery, gold must first overcome these major resistance zones: 3973–3983 3991–4007 4030 (critical zone) Downside Outlook On the downside, the bears remain in control unless the following levels hold: 3928 → Tested 4 times on H4, only partial closes below. 3916–3915 → Minor support. 3904–3885 → Watch this carefully. A 4-hour or daily close below 3885–3870 signals serious bearish momentum — avoid long positions if that happens. Trading Scenarios Bullish Setup (Buy): Entry: Above 3984 Targets: 3992 → (4000–4006) → (4011–4016) → 4021 → 4030 → 4038 → 4047 → 4055 → 4064 → 4074 → 4085 → 4096 → 4106 Bearish Setup (Sell): Entry: Below 3946 Targets: 3935 → 3922 → 3916 → 3907 → (3900–3896) → 3886 → (3873–3869) → 3854 → 3842 → 3807 Final Notes Avoid emotional reactions — protect your capital first. Respect technical levels — gold rewards discipline, not emotion. Disclaimer: This analysis reflects my personal market view and does not constitute financial advice.

SMART MONEY CONCEPT (SMC)📊 XAU/USD Bullish Analysis (15M) 🔑 Key Points 1. Previous Setup Completed: The first trade idea (Buy at 3,930 with TP at 4,018) played out perfectly, validating the 15M OB and initial fake out. Price reached the Buy-Side Liquidity and reacted at the resistance zone. 2. New Context (after BOS): After reaching 4,018, price retraced and created a Break of Structure (BOS), sweeping liquidity to the downside. This cleared orders and set the stage for a fresh bullish leg. 3. Fake Out + Rejection at OB-5M: A new Fake Out occurred, confirming accumulation. The 5M Order Block inside the support zone (3,897 – 3,937) serves as the institutional entry area. 4. Trade Plan: • Buy: 3,937 • SL: 3,897 (below support zone) • TP: 4,060 (liquidity/resistance target) • R/R: 1:3 (strong risk-to-reward profile) 5. Bullish Projection: After rejection from the OB, price is expected to push upward, targeting the liquidity pool around 4,060. 📈 Conclusion This setup aligns with Smart Money Concepts (SMC): ✅ BOS & liquidity sweep confirmation ✅ OB-5M as precise entry point ✅ Solid R/R ratio of 1:3 Clear structure, strong confirmation, and a well-defined target. 💡 Motivational Note “Liquidity must be taken before direction is revealed. Patience and precision are what separate good traders from lucky ones. GOOD LUCK TRADERS… 🦾😎🫵🏻

Gold price analysis on October 30Fundamental Analysis Gold prices remained confined within a familiar range, despite the volatility caused by the US Federal Reserve's key monetary policy decision on Wednesday. Powell noted that policymakers may be more cautious if this prevents them from releasing further reports on jobs and inflation. Markets are now pricing in a 67.8% chance of the Fed keeping rates unchanged at its December 10 meeting, compared with a 9.1% chance before the Fed's announcement. President Trump said he hoped to reduce US tariffs on Chinese goods in exchange for Beijing's commitment to curbing fentanyl precursor exports. Technical Analysis Gold gained ground in Asia and is eyeing a return to the 4000 handle, which could happen early today as more supportive news comes in. The weekly peak around 4025 will act as a stop for the price increase and act as a correction to find more buying momentum towards 4100. The BUY zone around 4025 is still good, buying power is still accumulating around here. If the trendline around 4025 is broken, Gold will fall deeply to 3865. Trading signals BUY GOLD 3925-3923 SL 3920 SELL GOLD 4025-4027 SL 4030 SELL GOLD 4095-4097 SL 4100

Adobe: Entering the Fourth Wave — Smart Money Distribution PhaseAdobe’s stock is entering a critical structural phase — the completion of its third global impulse and the start of the fourth corrective wave. While the long-term uptrend remains intact, the price structure and fundamentals suggest that the most explosive growth period may already be behind us. 🧭 Long-Term Technical Context Looking back to the early 2000s, Adobe has moved through a textbook Elliott Wave structure. The first and second waves built the base, while the third wave delivered the explosive rally — from roughly $30 to $600, marking a 20x increase. Now, the fourth subwave of the third major wave appears to be forming — a phase typically characterized by sideways consolidation and distribution by institutional players. 🔺 Wave 4 Triangle Formation In many long-term wave structures, the fourth wave forms a triangle (ABCDE pattern) — a contracting structure where price oscillates between defined boundaries. We can already observe the emerging shape: Wave A and B are complete Wave C is in progress Wave D and E will likely complete the pattern before the final breakout Once the triangle ends, a final Wave 5 push could occur — potentially extending toward $700, or in an extended scenario, even $2000. 📊 Trading Range and Short-Term Strategy At this stage, smart money tends to distribute positions gradually. The price is oscillating within a broad corridor, providing opportunities for range-based trading: Buy zones: near the triangle lows (Wave A area around $350) Profit zones: near the triangle highs (Wave B area around $600) For swing traders, this range offers multiple short-term opportunities before the next major move begins. 💵 Fundamental Context Despite being in a late-wave structure, Adobe’s fundamentals remain strong. Share buybacks: The company continues to repurchase its own shares, supporting EPS growth. EPS trend: Rising steadily year over year. Revenue growth: Stable, around +10% YoY, with quarterly metrics showing +40% growth since Q1 2024. Forward P/E: Approximately 28, which, by Peter Lynch’s growth-to-PE logic, still appears reasonably valued. These metrics suggest that even in a market downturn, Adobe’s downside risk may be more limited compared to weaker tech peers. 🧮 Fundamental Summary ✅ Consistent buybacks supporting EPS ✅ Double-digit annual revenue growth ✅ Attractive valuation relative to growth metrics ✅ Strong defensive profile versus the broader tech sector There are no visible signs of fundamental weakness — only technical consolidation after years of exponential expansion. ⚠️ Alternative Scenario If the stock breaks below $270, the current wave structure may need adjustment. Such a move could imply a larger triangle or a flat correction, but the broader interpretation — that we’re inside a long-term Wave 4 — would remain valid. 📈 Market Outlook Adobe is transitioning from a high-momentum growth phase into a strategic accumulation and distribution phase. The stock is unlikely to replicate its earlier explosive rally, but it continues to offer structured trading opportunities inside a stable technical range. For long-term investors, the risk-reward remains balanced, supported by solid fundamentals. For traders, the triangle provides a clear framework: buy near lows, take profits near highs, and wait for the fifth wave breakout. 🧩 Summary Price structure suggests Wave 4 triangle formation Trading range between $350–$600 Fundamentals remain strong and defensive Forward P/E at 28 — reasonable given EPS growth Next major target: Wave 5 breakout toward $700–$2000 Adobe is no longer in its most explosive phase — but it’s far from weak. This is a mature consolidation period, not a decline story. For disciplined traders, the triangle may offer some of the cleanest swing setups in the tech sector.

GBP/USD Price Outlook – Trade Setup📊 Technical Structure FPMARKETS:GBPUSD GBP/USD rebounded from the 1.3140 support zone (lowest since May) and is consolidating above 1.3200. The pair faces overhead resistance near 1.3280–1.3300, which aligns with the descending trendline. A rejection here could trigger fresh downside, while sustained strength above 1.3300 would open the door to higher retracement gains. 🎯 Trade Setup Entry: 1.3280 – 1.3300 (resistance retest) Stop Loss: 1.3314 Take Profit: 1.3150 / 1.3140 Risk-Reward Ratio: ≈ 1 : 4.33 🌐 Macro Background The pair bounced back above 1.3200 as the U.S. Dollar retreated from its post-FOMC highs. As FXStreet’s Haresh Menghani notes: “Spot prices climb back above the 1.3200 mark amid a modest USD weakness, though the fundamental backdrop warrants some caution for bullish traders.” 【FXStreet】 The Fed maintained a hawkish outlook, with Chair Powell pushing back against expectations of another December rate cut. This limits USD downside. On the UK side, fiscal concerns remain a drag. Reports suggest the OBR will downgrade productivity forecasts, potentially widening the fiscal gap by £20 billion. Rising speculation of a 25 bps BoE rate cut in December (with odds at 68%) further undermines Sterling’s outlook. 🔑 Key Technical Levels Resistance: 1.3280 – 1.3300 Support: 1.3150 – 1.3140 Psychological Level: 1.3200 📌 Trade Summary GBP/USD trades above 1.3200 but upside is capped by resistance and macro headwinds. Short-term strategy favors selling rallies near 1.3280–1.3300, targeting 1.3150. A clear break below 1.3140 could confirm bearish continuation. ⚠️ Disclaimer This analysis is for reference only and does not constitute trading advice. Trading involves significant risk, and proper risk management is essential.

Trump & The Eighth (8): The Millennium S&P500 Long Deal!For friends and Donald Trump the Magnificent (Trump). Friends, based on analysis of data from the S&P 500 index, Trump's visible activity, and the Federal Reserve's aggressive interest rate cutting cycle - the conclusion is obvious. The US economy, and therefore the global economy, is transitioning from stagnation to recession. Consequently, the S&P 500 will first enter a correction, then experience a severe crash in 2026. However, there exists an algorithm that can soften this collapse and save the global economy. This is the exact algorithm Trump intends to execute through a deal with Russia, achieved via a Russia-Ukraine ceasefire. This must become more than a temporary truce - it must be peace for generations to come. To save millions of lives, to rescue the global economy and US markets, the Eighth (8) will come: The Eighth (8) - the man who, through agreements with both Putin and Trump, will provide security guarantees and immunity for Putin, his inner circle, and their capital. The Eighth (8) will sign a peace agreement with Zelenskyy based on a 50-year lease of territories along the current front lines. Using unfrozen Russian sovereign assets, he will restore both Russian and Ukrainian territories and pay all due compensations to victims' families. The Eighth (8) will make a deal with Trump ensuring complete cooperation, mutual understanding, and prosperity for Russia, Ukraine, and the United States. These three steps will enable comprehensive resolution of both regional and international issues, which in turn will sustain the global economy and US market indices. Best regards, VinterFrank (8)

Is Google Entering Distribution? (GOOG, GOOGL Analysis)⚡ Overview Recently, the charts of all major tech giants — Apple, Amazon, Google, Meta, and Microsoft — have started to look almost identical. Each of them seems to be either topping out or entering what looks like a distribution phase. In this post, I’ll share my technical and fundamental outlook on Google (GOOG, GOOGL), along with the key risks and price zones I’m watching as a trader. 💡 Fundamental View From a fundamental perspective, Google still looks strong: The P/E ratio has been growing steadily. Revenue continues to rise. The company has been aggressively buying back shares for years. So fundamentally, this is not a bubble. By Peter Lynch’s fair value formula, Google remains fairly valued, maybe even with a modest upside left. However, strong fundamentals don’t always mean big growth ahead — especially when the market has already priced in perfection. And that’s typically when the distribution phase begins. 📈 Technical View According to Elliott Wave Theory, Google seems to be completing the fifth sub-wave within a larger third wave — a structure that often marks the final stage before a distribution or correction phase. On the long-term chart, price is now approaching the upper boundary of the rising channel, with limited upside potential — possibly up to $430–$450, which represents the top zone. Beyond that, the probability of continued growth drops sharply, while correction risk increases significantly. ⚙️ Market Structure When analyzing the volume profile, the largest accumulation zone sits around $15 – $16 — that’s where long-term investors entered 15 years ago. Those early buyers are now sitting on massive unrealized profits, and many are gradually distributing (selling) positions into current strength. Meanwhile, retail traders often see the ongoing move as “more upside ahead.” But in reality, this could be the final buying climax before a deeper correction. 🧩 Cycle Context Interestingly, the same pattern is visible across Apple, Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft. It’s not just about one stock — the entire Big Tech segment appears to be entering a similar maturity stage of the cycle. That’s why I believe Google could soon transition from markup to distribution, followed by a potential multi-quarter sideways or corrective phase. 💬 What’s your take? Do you think Google will reach $400 before correcting — or has the top already formed? 👇 Share your view in the comments.

Day 58 — Trading Only S&P Futures | +$304 & Easy FOMC GainsRecap & Trades Day 58 — clean and easy. We had some conflicting signals early, but once the structure aligned, it became a straightforward session. The key takeaway today was how FOMC movement tends to cap between 30–60 points, which makes it easy to plan trades if you size stops properly. Overall, simple setups, small size, steady gain — +$304 for the day. Lesson & Mindset You don’t have to trade aggressively to make progress. Low-effort, high-consistency days are often where real edge compounds. I’m learning that keeping your head calm on choppy news-driven days is what separates pros from gamblers. News & Levels Powell’s comments cooled expectations for further rate cuts, causing the Dow to fade late in the session. Tomorrow’s levels: Above 6885 bullish, below 6840 bearish.

Today's Market Wrap: Fed, Gold, and Earnings – 29/10/2025The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points, marking the lowest level since 2022. However, Fed Chair Jerome Powell hinted at a possible pause in further rate cuts for the rest of the year. Still, the S&P 500 gained 0.2%, and the Nasdaq gained 1%, both hitting fresh record highs. Gold remained flat at $3,950 an ounce after Powell warned that a December rate cut is not guaranteed. Potential progress on the US-China trade framework has also reduced some safe-haven demand. In corporate earnings, Microsoft beat expectations but saw a ~2.5% drop in after-hours trading due to a slight miss in cloud revenue. Meta posted strong results but fell ~8% after hours, driven by concerns over capital expenditure. Alphabet exceeded earnings and revenue forecasts, with strong performance across Search, YouTube, and Cloud, sending shares up ~5% in after-hours trading.
