Gold resumes upward trend after testing 3900📣Gold resumes upward trend after testing 3900 
From my update yesterday, gold is clearly rising. The market is positioned for a rate cut by the FED today. 
The FED is expected to cut rates by 25 bps to 4% vs 4.25 previous.
Whether this is good or bad for gold is another topic, as gold moves as it wants dominated by a strong bullish trend. 
However, our area near 3900 stopped the price, indicating that who created the bearish movement was taking some profits and may be  is back in the game to make more  profits.
I think Gold can go higher today, despite the big mess that FOMC could create today.
 You may find more details in the chart!
Thank you and Good Luck!

Fundamental Analysis
Ethereum Moves with The Business Cycle and Small Cap StocksThere's still hope for Ethereum and Altcoins into 2026
Why Altcoins Never Caught the Bull: The Missing Piece in the Crypto Cycle
Bitcoin, gold, and the S&P 500 (SPY) have long proven their close relationship with M2 money supply — when liquidity expands, they rise.
But Ethereum and the broader altcoin market play by a slightly different rulebook. They don’t just need liquidity… they need optimism.
Specifically, expanding small-cap stocks and a strong business sentiment environment.
Higher-risk assets — from growth stocks to altcoins — thrive when the economy believes in itself. And throughout this entire crypto cycle, that optimism never fully materialized.
Despite strong narratives, legal wins, and technological progress, altcoin expansions never sustained. Why? Because the business cycle is the true king of risk-taking.
🧭 Where to Watch: IWM & PMI
Two of the best gauges for this optimism are:
IWM (Russell 2000) – tracks small-cap stocks and risk appetite
ISM PMI – measures manufacturing activity and future order expectations
When the PMI is above 52, the economy is in expansion mode — and that’s historically when IWM hits new highs.
Interestingly, Ethereum has mirrored IWM’s trend, even showing outperformance when IWM pushes into all-time highs. That means ETH’s bullish potential could be closely tied to the next leg of small-cap and business expansion.
💡 The Takeaway
In the past, money supply (M2) and business optimism rose together.
Now, they’ve decoupled — giving us a clearer way to separate which catalyst drives which asset.
So, the big question:
👉 If business sentiment improves in 2026… does Ethereum finally get its real bull run?
Only time — and the next PMI reading — will tell.
WM Technology, Inc. (MAPS)The stock formed a bottom as a Symmetrical triangle, and took a long time for Accumulation before launching to very high stations above. 
At the same time, the bottom is a rounded bottom aiming for targets between $7 and $8.35. 
The launch of the stock is very, very close.

Forex Traders Focus on Central Bank DecisionsForex Traders Focus on Central Bank Decisions 
As expected, the Federal Reserve yesterday cut the Federal Funds Rate from 4.25% to 4.00%, while Jerome Powell’s remarks reduced the likelihood of further rate cuts. Meanwhile, decisions by other key central banks are also influencing the currency markets, according to Forex Factory:
→ The Bank of Canada lowered its policy rate from 2.50% to 2.25%, in line with market expectations. Its official statement highlighted risks of slower GDP growth, “continued weakness in the economy”, and concerns over U.S. trade relations and tariffs.
→ The Bank of Japan (BoJ) kept interest rates unchanged but signalled readiness to raise borrowing costs if economic conditions allow. This has shifted traders’ focus towards a possible rate hike as early as December.
→ The European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to leave its key rate steady, with the decision due at 16:15 GMT+3 today.
→ Next week, both the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Bank of England are scheduled to announce their policy decisions.
Against this backdrop, attention is increasingly turning to the Dollar Index (DXY) chart today.
  
 Technical Analysis of the DXY Chart 
On 19 September, we conducted a key analysis of the DXY chart, noting that:
→ The long-term downward channel (shown in red) remains relevant, divided into quarters by the intermediate QL and QH lines.
→ The index had rebounded from the QL line (marked by an arrow).
→ A bullish scenario was emerging.
Following that rebound, the price began to form an upward trajectory, reaching the upper boundary of the channel by 10 October — which, as anticipated, acted as strong resistance.
Currently, the DXY chart displays a narrowing triangle pattern, where:
→ The resistance is defined by the upper edge of the long-term descending channel that has contained the index’s 2025 movements.
→ The short-term upward channel from the September low remains intact.
This formation may reflect both the current balance of the U.S. dollar against a basket of major currencies and the uncertainty among analysts about its future direction.
Given the combination of central bank decisions, the U.S. government shutdown, geopolitical risks, and trade tensions, a breakout from this triangle could mark the start of a major trend lasting several weeks or even months.
Yesterday’s Fed decision strengthened the dollar, breaking through a local Bullish Flag pattern (shown in blue) and increasing the likelihood of further upward momentum.

#XRPUSDT: Swing Buy At 2.60, Possible Target At 3.50! We have strong bullish confirmation in smaller time frames that we can take a swing buy entry on XRPUSDT. There is a single major target at 3.50 but the price could move beyond that region. Please like and comment on the next cryptocurrency pair you would like us to analyse.
Team Setupsfx 
Is Gold Setting Up for a Bearish Move?Gold has faced rejection from the 30-minute resistance area near 4,012, followed by a break of structure to the downside indicating renewed bearish momentum. The market structure suggests a potential short-term continuation toward the 3,968 support zone as sellers regain control.
 Key Levels:
Sell Entry: 4,000
Take Profit: 3,968
Stop Loss: 4,012
Reasoning:
Technically,  XAUUSD has rejected the resistance zone and confirmed a break of the structure, suggesting sellers are stepping in after a failed attempt to push higher. Lower highs and increasing bearish candles reflect momentum shifting in favor of the downside.
 Fundamentally,  gold remains under mild pressure as investors await upcoming U.S. economic data, while a slightly firm U.S. dollar limits bullish extension in the short term.

News Whirlwind Propels Nasdaq 100 to a Fresh All-Time HighNews Whirlwind Propels Nasdaq 100 to a Fresh All-Time High 
According to the chart, the Nasdaq 100 index has climbed above the 26,260 mark for the first time in history. Market sentiment is being driven by an extraordinary combination of powerful news factors:
 → Meeting between US President Donald Trump and China’s leader Xi Jinping in Busan, South Korea.  The talks lasted around one hour and forty minutes. Xi emphasised the importance of “steering the giant ship” of bilateral relations, while Trump described the meeting as “tremendous” and “fantastic”. However, few concrete details about a potential trade deal were revealed.
 → Federal Reserve rate cut.  As expected, the Fed cut interest rates by 0.25% yesterday. Jerome Powell struck a cautious tone, using the metaphor of “driving through fog” to describe the lack of key inflation and labour market data due to the government shutdown. He also highlighted divisions within the committee, suggesting that another rate cut – possibly in December – remains uncertain.
 → Tech giant earnings reports.  After the US stock market closed yesterday, Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOGL), and Meta Platforms (META) released their quarterly results. A key theme across all three was massive capital expenditure on artificial intelligence. Investors are now questioning whether these heavy investments are beginning to pay off.
  
 Technical analysis of the Nasdaq 100 chart 
At the start of the week, when analysing the hourly chart of the Nasdaq 100, we:
→ used the outlines of the 10 October sell-off to construct an upward channel (shown in blue);
→ drew a steeper trajectory using three orange trendlines;
→ suggested that the price target was the upper boundary of the blue channel.
That target has now been reached, and the upper boundary is showing signs of resistance — evidenced by the price slipping below the middle orange line and now being supported by the lower one.
Given the emerging RSI divergence, it is reasonable to assume that the upward momentum (+6% since the start of the month) may begin to slow. Note the recent bearish candlestick (marked by an arrow), notable for its strong move. Profit-taking could soon occur, with bears potentially attempting to push the Nasdaq 100 back down towards the median of the blue channel.

Tick... Tock... $XRP When a resistance level is tested more than three times and the price continues to accumulate above a major support, that resistance is destined to break, sooner or later.  
Each test weakens the sellers’ defense. Supply gets absorbed, liquidity thins out, and the market builds pressure.  
Meanwhile, steady accumulation above strong support shows that buyers are quietly taking control, energy is being stored for an explosive move.  
Eventually, the chart reaches a tipping point:  
What once held the price down becomes the launchpad.  
The breakout is no longer a question of if, but when.  
The Value of Comparing Futures and CFD DataComparing futures and CFD (Contract for Difference) data is critical for serious traders, especially when executing and validating trades like shorts.
Futures Data: 
Why Compare Futures and CFD Data?
True Market Sentiment: Futures contracts (such as the 6E - Euro FX futures) are traded on centralized exchanges, reflecting authentic supply, demand, institutional volume, and order flow. CFDs, on the other hand, are broker-issued products that mirror price but may not fully represent actual market transactions or sentiment.
Volume Profile Analysis: Futures charts (e.g., shown in 6E1 image) provide reliable volume by price (VBP) and order flow, helping traders pinpoint genuine support/resistance, point of control, and liquidity zones. CFD platforms often lack transparent volume data.
Validating Signals: If both CFD (EURUSD) and futures (6EZ2025) show confluence such as downside imbalances, sell stops being triggered, and volume confirming breakouts the setup is reinforced and less likely to be a broker-induced anomaly.
Avoiding Broker Manipulation: CFDs may show price spikes or "stop hunts" not reflected in the real futures market, leading to false signals. Comparing both datasets helps filter out noise and manipulation.
Why the Short Trade is Valid
Order Flow Confirmation: Both charts highlight heavy sell-side activity. The futures chart shows a breakdown below key value areas with volume shifting lower, confirming institutional selling and bearish momentum.
Imbalance and Sell Stops: On the EURUSD CFD chart, a clear delta imbalance and a cascade of sell stops below a key level indicate aggressive shorting and stop-loss liquidity being absorbed, reinforcing bearish bias.
Confluence Across Markets: The simultaneous confirmation futures breaking down with volume, CFD reflecting price action and order flow provides confidence in the short setup's validity. Such dual confirmation reduces risk and signals a higher likelihood of follow-through.
In summary:
Comparing CFD price action with real futures order flow and volume enables traders to validate setups, spot manipulation, and execute trades with increased conviction. For this short trade, the confluence across both datasets confirms genuine sell-side momentum and a valid trading opportunity.
DXY — The Dollar Game That Moves Everything...Hello Traders 🐺 
Most traders keep watching Bitcoin, Gold, and the stock market...
but everything starts with the Dollar — the DXY.
DXY measures the strength of the US Dollar against major currencies (mostly the Euro, Yen, and Pound).
When DXY goes up, the Dollar is stronger.
When it goes down, the Dollar weakens.
Now here’s the fun part 👇
| Asset                | When DXY goes UP                             | When DXY goes DOWN               
| 🪙 Gold              | Usually drops (USD stronger)              | Usually rises                    
| 💰 Bitcoin        | Liquidity dries up → often drops        | Liquidity returns → often rallies
| 📈 Stocks         | Exporters get hurt                             | Risk-on mood, often bullish      
| 🛢 Oil               | Demand cools                                    | Prices rise with weaker USD     
 So yeah — DXY isn’t “just another chart.” 
It’s the heartbeat of global liquidity.
 ⚙️ What’s happening right now 
Gold is at record highs.
Bitcoin’s flying near extreme levels.
Stocks are still holding up.
Meanwhile, DXY is sitting right on a major monthly trendline support —
a level that’s held multiple times in the past.
Most traders expect the Dollar to keep weakening
after the Fed’s recent 0.25% rate cut...
but history often plays a different game.
📉 The pattern nobody talks about
Every time the US entered a recession,
the Dollar actually got stronger, even while the Fed was cutting rates.
Why? Because when fear hits, everyone runs to cash and US Treasuries.
The Dollar becomes the world’s safe haven.
So lower rates don’t always mean a weak dollar —
sometimes they’re the first warning that the system’s under stress,
and that’s exactly when DXY makes its comeback.
🇺🇸 Politics, China, and the bigger picture
Trump’s talking about another trade war with China.
China’s still trying to strengthen the Yuan and reduce its dependence on USD.
But the US can’t really afford a weak dollar right now —
because a weaker USD means more imported inflation,
and with America’s massive debt and deficits,
they need global demand for US Treasuries.
That only happens if the Dollar stays relatively strong.
🧭 My personal take
The market’s way too confident that “the Dollar is done.”
But both the chart and the history say otherwise.
DXY is testing a massive monthly trendline support while risk assets are near all-time highs.
That’s a setup I don’t want to ignore.
If DXY bounces from here,
we could see a wave of correction across Gold, Bitcoin, and even stocks.
💡 Everyone’s positioned for a weak Dollar.
History and the chart both say — it might surprise them again.  
Also don't forgot our golden rule :

🔎 Chart Breakdown
 
 Elliott Wave Context: After the 5-wave impulse, the structure suggests a potential A–B–C correction forming.
 Trendlines: Price is currently respecting the long-term ascending support (yellow lines), just newly above the trending channel (red).
 Entry Zone: A possible entry has been identified near the lower boundary of the channel, where risk-to-reward is more favourable.
 Risk Management: The red zone highlights the invalidation level — if price breaks and closed below, the setup is no longer valid.
 Target Projection: A breakout from the channel could trigger a move toward the green zone, aligning with the Take Profit (TP) level, which is inside the last 4H FVG
 
 
📊 Trading Plan
 
 Bias: Short-term correction before resumption of trend.
 Entry: Near support / channel bottom.
 Stop-Loss: Below the invalidation zone.
 Take Profit: Toward the upper resistance / green target zone.

EURUSD Finds Its Footing  Bulls Step Back In.EURUSD continues to recover from its support zone after a clean rebound, showing signs of a short-term bullish correction. The pair formed a Fair Value Gap (FVG) and now aims to retest the resistance area as buyers step in above key intraday support.
 Key Levels:
Buy Entry: 1.16150
Take Profit: 1.16450
Stop Loss: 1.15990 
 Reasoning:
Technically,  the market has confirmed a break of structure followed by strong rejection from the support zone, forming higher lows that signal bullish intent. The FVG area supports the idea of a potential push toward resistance.
 Fundamentally,  slight weakness in the U.S. dollar and improving Euro sentiment ahead of upcoming data favor a short term upside move.

AUD CHF long:I feel the overall environment still warrants a 'risk on' trade (US/  CHINA, mega cap tech earnings). 
I've chosen the CHF to short, I feel in this moment, the JPY is very extended following 'hawkish FOMC comments' from chair Powell and the BOJ hold with 'relatively dovish / neutral' press conference. 
Arguably any of the currencies has been longable Vs the JPY, including the USD and CAD. And short JPY remains on my radar. But, for now, I've gone with AUD CHF, with a stop loss at the lower end of multiple 1hr swings. 
The risk to the trade is negative sentiment, particularly if there is further push-back on FED rate cuts. Or perhaps if the EUR strengthens and the CHF follows. The fact I've not particularly been keen on trading the CHF due to its recent underlying strength is also a risk.
 But if the mood remains positive, I think the chart 'should' return to recent highs. 
Fed Overview: The Good and the Not So GoodDriven by an euphoric phase, the S&P 500 has approached 7,000 points, nearing its 2000 valuation record, with six consecutive months of gains without retracement.
The key question for investors is now clear: has the Federal Reserve provided enough justification for this confidence, or does Jerome Powell’s caution mark the beginning of the end of this euphoric phase?
 1) A Fed slowing the pace without complacency 
On Wednesday, October 29, the Fed announced another 25-basis-point rate cut, bringing the federal funds rate into the 3.75%–4.00% range. This is the second consecutive reduction, aimed at countering the labor market slowdown.
However, the FOMC vote revealed strong internal divisions: one member wanted a deeper cut, another preferred no change. This reflects the delicate balance between supporting employment and avoiding renewed inflationary pressure.
Another key signal: the Fed decided to pause its balance sheet reduction (quantitative tightening) starting December 1st, in order to preserve financial system liquidity, as credit markets show early signs of stress. Powell clarified that this pause does not imply a lasting return to an expansionary stance.
 
Finally, Powell cooled expectations for another rate cut in December, stating that “nothing is guaranteed.” Money markets now price roughly a 70% chance of a hold in December, down from nearly 90% odds of a cut before the meeting.
 2) Between monetary realism and market excess 
The Fed is not ruling out further easing, but it refuses to fuel a bullish rally in the S&P 500 that is now considered excessive relative to fundamentals.
Current valuations rely heavily on expectations of continued rate cuts. If that narrative weakens, the likelihood of a technical correction in the S&P 500 rises.
At this stage, however, the index has not yet signaled a reversal.

Bitcoin Bearish Setup After Structural BreakBitcoin continues to trade in a bearish structure, forming lower highs after a clear break of the structure from the resistance area. A short-term retest toward the 1H resistance provides a potential swing sell opportunity targeting the next support zone as sellers remain active below key levels.
 Key Levels:
Sell Entry: 110,400
Take Profit: 108,200
Stop Loss: 111,700
Reasoning:
Technically,  price action confirms a shift in market structure as BTC/USD fails to maintain bullish momentum and breaks below previous support. The 1H chart clearly shows sellers defending the resistance area, suggesting further downside continuation.
 Fundamentally,  Bitcoin remains under pressure as the U.S. dollar strengthens and global risk sentiment weakens. Investors are turning cautious ahead of upcoming U.S. economic data, favoring safe-haven assets and reducing crypto demand.

Palantir Is +160% YTD. What Its Chart Says Ahead of EarningsPalantir Technologies  NASDAQ:PLTR  will report Q3 results next week as the security-software firm is enjoying roughly 160% year-to-date gains that have pushed its stock to all-time highs. Let's see what its chart and fundamentals say.
 Palantir's Fundamental Analysis 
PLTR plans to release earnings after the closing bell on Monday, with the Street currently looking for $0.17 in adjusted earnings per share on about $1.1 billion of revenue. This would represent a 70% year-over-year gain in adjusted EPS, as well as more than 50% in y/y sales growth.
If those numbers prove true, then the sales growth would represent the steepest year-over-year revenue gains that Palantir has ever put to the tape for any quarter. They would also mark the eighth consecutive quarter of accelerating year-over-year sales growth vs. the quarter prior.
In fact, 20 of the 21 sell-side analysts that I can find that cover Palantir have revised their earnings estimates upward since quarter began. (One estimate remains unchanged.)
 Palantir's Technical Analysis 
Next, let's check out PLTR's chart going back some eight months and running through Monday afternoon:
   
It looked recently like Palantir was forming a double-top pattern of bearish reversal after the stock found support at a 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of its April-through-August rally (the dark-gray line and shaded area in the chart above).
But as the shares managed to base and consolidate near that second top, this threat might have passed.
However, by stretching out the second top over several weeks, PLTR has instead formed an ascending-triangle pattern of  bullish  continuation with a $188 indicated pivot. The stock has traded above that at record levels recently ($196.29 as of Tuesday afternoon) as PLTR tries to hold the pivot ahead of earnings.
Meanwhile, the swing crowd appeared over the past few weeks to play both sides of Palantir's 21-day Exponential Moving Average (or "EMA," marked with a green line). That said, portfolio managers appear to have defended PLTR when the stock tested its 50-day Simple Moving Average (or "SMA," marked with a blue line at $172 above).
At the same time, Palantir's Relative Strength Index (the gray line at the chart's top) has rebounded out of neutral territory and is getting more muscular without yet reaching a technically overbought state.
The stock's daily Moving Average Convergence Divergence indication (or "MACD," marked with black and gold lines and blue bars at the chart's bottom) is also notably improving.
For openers, the histogram of the 9-day EMA (the blue bars) has crossed back into positive territory. In addition, the 12-day EMA (the black line) has crossed above the 26-day EMA (the gold line), with both in positive territory. These are all short-to medium-term bullish signals.
 An Options Option 
Options investors projecting a moderate upside move and seeking to profit using leverage might employ what's known as a "bull-call spread" in this scenario.
That's where you buy one call and simultaneously sell another with the same expiration date, but a higher strike price. Here's an example using recent market prices:
-- Long one PLTR $192.50 call with a Nov. 7 expiration date (i.e. after next week's earnings) at $10.30.
-- Short one PLTR Nov. 7 $207.50 call at $5.
Net Debit: $5.30
This trader is risking $5.30 to try to receive up to $9.70 for a maximum profit at expiration of 183%. Meanwhile, the maximum potential loss at expiration is the $5.30 net debit.
An options trader willing to end up owning Palantir might also choose to sell a put in addition to the above strategy, which could provide the person with PLTR shares at a lower cost basis. Example:
-- Sell (write) one PLTR Nov. 7 $177.50 put for $5.50.
New net credit: $0.20
The trader has essentially paid for the bull-call spread above by risking the possibility of having to buy 100 shares of PLTR at $177.50 at expiration even if the shares are trading lower than that price.
This may serve to lower the net basis for the shares by offsetting the cost of the long call, but also adds the risk of significant losses, as the stock could theoretically fall to zero.
 (Moomoo Technologies Inc. Markets Commentator Stephen "Sarge" Guilfoyle was long PLTR at the time of writing this column.)

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.
GBPCAD:  Inflation Diverges Between UK and CanadaGBPCAD:  Inflation Diverges Between UK and Canada 
On Friday, October 17, 2025, GBPCAD formed a false bullish rally, which became evident once the pair resumed its downward movement after confirming a higher high.
The decline accelerated after the Bank of Canada reported a rise in core CPI inflation to 2.8%, up from 2.6% in August.
Today, the Bank of England released its CPI data, showing a slowdown to +3.8% year-on-year, below expectations of +4.0%.
These inflation readings have shifted market sentiment and expectations regarding the next moves from both central banks, putting additional pressure on GBPCAD. 
 The pair may pause temporarily as traders digest the data, but the downtrend is likely to continue, with potential targets at 1.8560 and 1.8420. 
 You may find more details in the chart!

LINKUSDT → A trap? Grabbing liquidity before the fall...BINANCE:LINKUSDT  is forming a correction after a bearish run. A false breakdown of support is triggering a correction before a possible continuation of the decline.
  
The coin is testing the support of the trading range within the downtrend. The reaction to the false breakdown of support is a pullback to the zone of interest.  After a strong downward distribution, a correction to the break-even zone is forming. A false breakout of resistance at 17.45 could trigger a continuation of the decline due to a weak market and a liquidity pool formed above 17.450, which is likely to stop the pullback on the bearish trend.
 Resistance levels: 17.450
Support levels: 16.53, 15.77 
The downtrend may continue. A retest of resistance may end in a fall and an update of the local minimum, as well as reaching the zone of interest at 15.77.
Best regards, R. Linda!
$XRP a different perspective. Q4 2017 After breaking the middle band of the channel, XRP peaked in a parabolic rise within a few months.
Q4 2025 In the same channel structure, the price again touched the middle band, was rejected, and then began to accumulate.
The chart shows an almost exact repetition of the technical position before the 2017 breakout.
