EUR/USD Technical Analysis – November 5, 2025Price overview: EUR/USD remains under bearish pressure, trading below multiple key resistance levels after a clear downward continuation from the 1.1580 – 1.1600 zone. The market structure shows consistent lower highs, reflecting the strength of sellers on intraday timeframes. Technical outlook: Price has recently formed a minor consolidation range near 1.1480 – 1.1500, signaling potential continuation before the next impulse. Three major resistance levels to note: 1.1505 – 1.1520: Immediate intraday resistance zone (current retest area). 1.1555 – 1.1570: Previous supply area and unmitigated order block. 1.1600 – 1.1620: Higher-timeframe structural resistance. Support area: The next significant level sits at 1.1455 – 1.1445, coinciding with a liquidity pocket and previous demand reaction. Trading strategy: Main scenario (Sell bias): → Look for bearish confirmation around 1.1500 – 1.1520, ideally after a fake breakout or rejection wick. → Sell entry: 1.1500 → Stop loss: Above 1.1525 → Take profit: 1.1455 / 1.1445 The risk–reward ratio remains favorable if momentum continues in line with the overall bearish structure. Alternative scenario (Reversal potential): → A confirmed breakout and hold above 1.1555 would invalidate the bearish bias and shift focus toward 1.1600. Indicators & confluence: Price remains below the EMA50, maintaining bearish alignment on H1. RSI currently hovers near the neutral zone (~50), suggesting room for another push downward before oversold conditions develop. Key levels to monitor: Resistance: 1.1505 / 1.1555 / 1.1600 Support: 1.1455 / 1.1445 Conclusion: EUR/USD continues to trade within a controlled bearish rhythm, and the 1.1500 – 1.1520 zone remains critical for short-term direction. Traders should watch closely for rejection patterns to confirm potential downside continuation. Stay disciplined and follow the structure—reaction at key zones will reveal the next move. Save this setup and follow for more daily strategy updates.

The Market Is Still in Distribution, but Smart Money Moves QuietGold is trading around $3,990, recovering slightly after last week’s sharp sell-off. However, from a Smart Money Concept (SMC) perspective, the market structure continues to show clear bearish intent — with lower highs, unmitigated supply zones, and descending liquidity still controlling price flow. 💭 1️⃣ Market Structure – The Bearish Flow Remains Intact After several BOS (Break of Structure) and CHoCH (Change of Character) confirmations, the bullish attempts are getting weaker. Price remains capped under a clean descending trendline, showing how sellers are gradually stepping in at every premium retracement level. The current market is operating within a distribution phase, where Smart Money continues to build short positions above liquidity zones while trapping late buyers inside minor pullbacks. The key level 4,043 – 4,050 stands out as the nearest Bearish Order Block (OB) and strong short-term supply. Until this area is decisively broken, Gold remains technically bearish. 🩶 2️⃣ Supply Zones – Where Smart Money Left Their Footprints Karina is currently watching three critical supply layers: 4,043 – 4,050: Active supply zone aligning with trendline confluence – ideal for short-term sell setups. 4,149 – 4,160: A deeper liquidity pocket where Smart Money previously distributed heavy positions. 4,221 – 4,359: Major macro supply zones – where institutional orders were likely built during October’s highs. Price is still well below these regions, suggesting that any rally remains corrective rather than impulsive. 🧭 3️⃣ Liquidity Context – The Path of Least Resistance Below current price, 3,884 – 3,890 forms the next liquidity magnet — a cluster of equal lows and inefficiency gaps that Smart Money might target next. Above, resting buy-side liquidity around 4,050 gives institutions a perfect opportunity to engineer a small push up before resuming the main downtrend. This is the same pattern we’ve seen repeatedly: liquidity grab → displacement → continuation. 🌙 4️⃣ Trading Scenario – Flow With the Institutions, Not Against Them As long as the structure remains below the trendline, Karina maintains a bearish bias. If price retests 4,043 – 4,050 and shows rejection through a bearish engulfing or sharp rejection wick, short setups will align with SMC logic. Entry: 4,043 – 4,050 Stop Loss: 4,060 Take Profit: 3,884 – 3,890 The setup offers a clean 1:4 R:R, based purely on structure and liquidity flow — no indicators, no noise. 🌷 5️⃣ Reflection – When Silence Speaks Louder Than Volatility Gold’s current rhythm is calm yet calculated. Every retracement feels like a whisper from Smart Money — testing patience, not conviction. For Karina, this is the phase where discipline matters most. While many chase impulsive moves, Smart Money quietly prepares for the next wave, and the charts tell their story to those patient enough to listen. 🌙 This analysis reflects Karina’s personal view and is not financial advice. What do you see in today’s Gold structure? Is this retracement a calm before another drop, or the beginning of accumulation? Let’s discuss below 💬

The Dollar Index Near a Key HighThe Dollar Index Near a Key High As shown on the Dollar Index (DXY) chart, the strength of the US currency is currently hovering near an important high reached in August. Market sentiment is being influenced by: → the ongoing government shutdown, which has already become the longest in history; → traders’ assessment of last week’s developments, including the Fed’s interest rate cut, the meeting between the US and Chinese presidents in South Korea, and quarterly earnings reports from major corporations. Adding to the turbulence is the political factor: according to media reports, Democrats have achieved victories in several local elections. Notably, Zohran Mamdani – a Muslim candidate from the Democratic Party – has been elected Mayor of New York for the first time. Technical Analysis of the DXY Chart It is worth recalling that on 19 September we published an important analysis of the DXY chart, in which we: → highlighted the false breakout of the 1 July low; → suggested a bullish scenario. Following this, the price rose to the upper boundary of the red channel. In our earlier analysis, we: → constructed an ascending channel; → anticipated that the upward trajectory would remain relevant. That scenario played out – demand proved strong enough to overcome: → resistance around the 95-point level, where a double-top pattern (a–b) had previously formed; → the psychological barrier at 100 points. It is possible that the 3.7% rise in the Dollar Index over roughly one and a half months could attract sellers. The main intrigue now lies in whether we will see an aggressive reversal accompanied by a false breakout – similar to what occurred in September, but this time in a downward direction.

StevenTrading – XAUUSD Strategy for Gold in an Upward Price...StevenTrading – XAUUSD Strategy for Gold in an Upward Price Channel Hello everyone, StevenTrading is back with today's gold perspective – a deeper analysis of price behavior as global capital flows are experiencing strong shifts. The latest data shows that gold investment funds have recorded a net withdrawal of -7.5 billion USD in the past week as investors took profits after a historic rise. Notably, the previous week saw an inflow of +8.5 billion USD, reflecting the extreme volatility of capital flows. In the last 4 months, gold funds have still attracted a total of +59 billion USD, indicating that institutional money continues to maintain a positive trend, despite short-term adjustments. 📰 Fundamental Analysis – Market Perspective The main driver keeping gold strong is the rotation of capital between assets in a context where global liquidity remains abundant. With persistent inflation and central banks maintaining a cautious stance, investors tend to take temporary profits but still hold a proportion of gold in their portfolios. Short-term selling pressure is therefore just a phase of re-accumulation, not a signal of a trend reversal. As long as global liquidity is not tightened, gold will maintain upward momentum in the medium to long term. 📊 Technical Analysis – Trading Strategy in the Price Channel On the chart, gold is still moving within an upward price channel, with no signs of breaking the structure. Currently, the price is fluctuating in the range of 396x – 404x, indicating a temporary equilibrium state. The market still respects the upper and lower boundaries of the price channel, creating opportunities for short-term trading at the boundaries while waiting for clear breakout signals. Main mindset: As long as the price holds the upward channel structure, prioritize Buying at the lower trendline and short Selling at resistance areas, waiting for confirmation signals to enter trades. 🎯 Trading Scenarios (Action Plan) 🔴 Sell Scenario – When the price fails at the resistance area: If the price slightly breaks the resistance and then reverses, the sell setup will be activated. Entry: Sell 3978 after confirming price rejection. SL: 3985 TP: 3962 – 3946 – 3922 🟢 Buy Scenario – Buy when the price bounces from the trendline: If the price adjusts to touch the upward trendline and bounces strongly, this is a favorable entry area in line with the trend. Entry: Buy 3993 after confirming trendline reaction. SL: 3985 TP: 4010 – 4048 – 4103 📌 Steven's Notes The overall structure still leans towards an uptrend, but the market is in a liquidity hunting phase, suitable for short-term and flexible trading. Maintain discipline, only enter trades in areas with clear confirmation, and always manage risk strictly. This week's success comes from patience and precision in every entry.

Euro/Aussie Eyes 1.7780 Resistance Amid RBA Pause and Eurozone PEUR/AUD is testing the upper boundary of a rising channel near 1.7710 after recent strength in the euro and caution around the Australian dollar ahead of Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) policy commentary. The technical set-up favours a push toward 1.7760-1.7780 (near the 78.6–100 % Fibonacci extensions), provided support holds around 1.7680–1.7690. Key fundamentals include the RBA’s hold at 3.60 % and the eurozone PMI releases that may boost euro demand; the AUD remains pressured by weaker commodity triggers and a lack of fresh impetus. The alternative scenario, if risk sentiment sours or the RBA signals easing later, would target a break below channel support toward 1.7640-1.7620. Read full article here: erranteacademy.com

BTC/USDT (4H) Chart AnalysisThe chart shows Bitcoin’s 4-hour price action on Binance with clear Smart Money Concepts (SMC) elements, including BOS (Break of Structure), CHoCH (Change of Character), and EQH/EQL (Equal Highs/Lows) levels. After a strong bullish phase that broke previous structure highs, BTC faced multiple CHoCH signals, confirming a shift in market structure from bullish to bearish. Price has since been trending downward, breaking key demand zones and forming lower highs and lower lows. Currently, BTC is trading around $101,900, retesting the broken structure zone (previous support turned resistance). The volume profile shows increased selling pressure during breakdowns, suggesting sustained bearish momentum. RSI remains below 40, reflecting weak buying interest and potential continuation of the downtrend until bullish divergence forms. Key levels to watch: Immediate resistance: $103,700 – $104,500 Next resistance: $106,500 Support zone: $98,800 – $97,800 Next major liquidity area: Below weak low near $98,850 If BTC fails to reclaim the $104K–$106K region, further downside toward $98K remains likely. However, a strong bullish CHoCH around current levels could indicate a short-term reversal.

EURUSDEUR/USD – Technical & Fundamental Outlook I’m waiting for price to reach the 1.1457 level, where I’ll be looking for buy opportunities targeting a move back toward 1.1550. The U.S. dollar has recently strengthened, mainly due to safe-haven demand as it’s being used as a reserve currency amid geopolitical tensions with Venezuela. However, this strength may be temporary. The U.S. government shutdown has created public spending pressure, and once it reopens, it will need to pay accumulated salaries, adding fiscal strain. For that reason, despite current corrections, I continue to see the dollar as fundamentally bearish in the medium term.

Fundamental Market Analysis for November 5, 2025 EURUSDThe euro remains under pressure as the US dollar firms ahead of key US services activity indicators. Investors are weighing the mix of resilient consumer demand and signs of softer employment, which supports the dollar via firmer Treasury yields and demand for safe-haven assets. The upcoming release of the US services activity index and fresh private-sector employment data shapes expectations for the Federal Reserve’s rate path and, overall, keeps the bias in favor of the dollar. In the euro area, the backdrop is subdued: business activity in manufacturing and services remains muted, while inflation expectations have been revised lower following the ECB’s latest easing of financing conditions. The combination of soft domestic momentum and limited progress in credit growth sustains caution toward the euro. Recent ECB communication emphasizes stabilizing growth over the risks of re-accelerating inflation, which also weighs on the currency. An additional factor is a generally risk-averse tone: concerns around the US budget and headlines on government spending bolster demand for the dollar as a reserve asset. Against this backdrop, the near-term risk balance for EURUSD remains tilted lower; if US data stay firm, the pair risks holding around multi-month lows. Trading recommendation: SELL 1.14950, SL 1.15250, TP 1.14450

Has the BoE Already Doomed the Sterling?Macroeconomics: Diverging Central Bank Paths The British Pound (GBP) has aggressively declined, losing 4.8% from September highs, primarily due to a growing policy divergence between the Bank of England (BoE) and the US Federal Reserve (Fed). Markets increasingly expect the BoE to cut interest rates sooner, with current pricing suggesting a 35% chance of a 25-basis-point cut. This dovish pressure stems from cooling UK labor data and inflation, which, despite ticking up slightly, remains far from 2023’s double-digit peaks. In stark contrast, the US Dollar (USD) remains resilient, supported by the Fed’s persistent "higher for longer" stance. Strong US data, notably the 195,000 October Non-Farm Payrolls addition, bolsters this hawkish view. This widening interest rate differential, now almost 100 basis points favoring the USD, makes dollar assets more attractive than sterling assets, directly pressuring the GBP/USD pair toward the critical 1.3000 support level. Economics and Fiscal Warning: Tax Hikes Loom Domestic UK economic concerns amplify the bearish pressure on Sterling. UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves issued a pre-Budget warning, confirming an intent to raise taxes to close a significant £22 billion fiscal gap. This public rhetoric prepares markets for an Autumn Budget featuring fiscal tightening measures. Fiscal tightening through tax hikes generally dampens economic growth expectations, which encourages the BoE to consider rate cuts to stimulate activity. This political and economic dynamic fuels bond market volatility. The UK 10-year gilt yield briefly fell, reflecting investor expectation of slower growth and a dovish BoE response, accelerating the GBP/USD selloff. Geopolitics and Geostrategy: Dollar's Global Anchor The Dollar's strength is not purely macroeconomic; it acts as a global safe-haven anchor, a key geostrategic function. Renewed focus on geopolitical stability and trade deals, such as the preliminary US-China trade consensus on export controls and fentanyl, often benefits the US Dollar as the primary reserve currency. Conversely, the UK faces fiscal uncertainty and lower productivity forecasts, placing its currency at a relative disadvantage. The USD's dominance, reinforced by Chair Jerome Powell's measured, firm rhetoric, creates a sharp contrast with the BoE’s internal divisions on policy. This global context makes the USD the preferred currency, undermining Sterling's value on the international stage. Technology and Cyber Risk: Underlying Competitiveness While the movement is not driven by immediate technical news, the UK's long-term technological and patent competitiveness affects its currency's appeal. Persistent issues, like lower productivity forecasts reported by the Office for Budget Responsibility, imply a lag in high-tech innovation and efficiency compared to the US. A slower pace of innovation and lower productivity in the UK's services and manufacturing sectors contrasts with the robust, job-creating US economy. This fundamental economic weakness limits Sterling's potential for sustained, long-term appreciation. Technical analysis confirms this bearish trend, showing a double-top pattern and momentum indicators deep in negative territory, confirming the downward bias toward the 1.3000 psychological barrier.

S&P 500: Overheated Valuation vs. SeasonalityAs the S&P 500 posts a Shiller CAPE ratio of 40.24 in early November 2025 — nearly equivalent to the dot-com bubble peak in 2000 (~44) — a key question arises: can the U.S. market still advance during the last two months of the year? History suggests that November and December seasonality often favors bulls, yet economic reality and valuation levels may temper this optimism. Valuations on the Verge of Overheating Fundamental indicators speak for themselves. A Shiller P/E around 40 signals extreme overvaluation; the historical average is around 17. The Buffett Indicator, which compares total market capitalization to GDP, exceeds 200% — an all-time high, well above levels seen before the 2000 and 2007 crises. In other words, U.S. equity prices are today largely disconnected from the size of the real economy. Historical comparisons are striking: the market has only been this expensive on the eve of the tech crash twenty-five years ago. This makes any new bullish episode difficult to justify fundamentally. Yet history also shows that markets can remain overvalued for long periods, especially when liquidity is abundant and investors fear “missing out” on gains. Seasonality: A Favorable Tailwind at Year-End Statistically, November and December are the most favorable months for U.S. equities. According to Topdown Charts (1964–2024), November delivers an average return of +1%, positive in 69% of cases, while December rises +1.2% on average, gaining nearly 70% of the time. Market Paradox: Expensive Yet Bullish? This coexistence of extreme valuation and seasonal bullish momentum is not unprecedented. In 1999, for instance, the S&P 500 gained over 20% in the six months leading up to its historical peak, even though its CAPE exceeded 40. Investor psychology and flow dynamics often play a more significant role than fundamental reasoning in the short term. However, such an environment reduces the margin of safety: any macroeconomic shock or earnings disappointment could trigger a sharp correction. History shows that markets can ignore excesses … until the moment they cannot. Conclusion The S&P 500 approaches the end of 2025 in a paradoxical situation: supported by historically favorable seasonality but in fundamental weightlessness. November and December could indeed be positive due to bullish inertia, liquidity effects, and collective psychology. Yet at these valuation levels, every additional point of gain also brings the market closer to an inflection point.

Key Pillars of Global Market SuccessKey Pillars of Global Market Success In the modern interconnected world, success in the global market depends on much more than simply exporting products or services across borders. It involves mastering an ecosystem of strategies, competencies, and adaptability that allows businesses to thrive amid fierce competition, diverse consumer preferences, evolving technology, and changing regulations. Understanding the key pillars of global market success is crucial for any organization that aims to expand internationally, build a sustainable brand, and maintain long-term growth. Below are the fundamental pillars that support success in the global marketplace. 1. Strong Market Research and Cultural Understanding Before entering any foreign market, businesses must conduct thorough market research to understand the local culture, consumer behavior, economic environment, and regulatory structure. This goes beyond studying demographics or income levels; it involves understanding cultural nuances, preferences, and purchasing habits. For instance, a marketing strategy that works in the United States may fail in Japan or India because of differences in communication style, color symbolism, and social norms. Companies like McDonald’s and Coca-Cola have succeeded globally because they localize their products — offering the McPaneer burger in India or tea-based beverages in China. Effective market research also helps identify: Consumer trends and unmet needs Competitor strategies Pricing expectations Distribution challenges Ultimately, cultural intelligence — the ability to adapt to local customs while maintaining a global identity — is one of the strongest foundations for global market success. 2. Product Innovation and Adaptability Innovation is the lifeblood of global competitiveness. Successful global companies are those that continuously innovate to meet diverse consumer demands and rapidly changing technologies. However, innovation must be combined with adaptability. A product that dominates one region may need to be redesigned for another. For example, automobile manufacturers often modify car designs for local road conditions, fuel quality, and climate. Similarly, software companies translate and localize their user interfaces for different languages and legal frameworks. The key is to build a balance between standardization and customization. Standardization offers economies of scale and a unified brand identity, while customization ensures relevance in local markets. Innovative adaptability also includes: Sustainable product design Integration of digital technologies Customer-centric product development Innovation and adaptability ensure that companies remain competitive, responsive, and resilient to global shifts in demand. 3. Effective Global Strategy and Vision Every successful international business is built upon a clear strategic vision. This vision outlines why the company is expanding globally, where it intends to grow, and how it plans to achieve that growth. A global strategy must align with the company’s core competencies while considering: Market entry modes (exporting, franchising, joint ventures, acquisitions) Localization vs. standardization decisions Long-term investment and operational models Supply chain and logistics networks For instance, companies like Apple and Toyota have achieved success because of their well-defined global strategies that focus on efficiency, innovation, and customer experience. Strategic clarity allows companies to avoid costly mistakes — such as entering markets without understanding local regulations or underestimating cultural resistance. It ensures that every move supports the company’s broader vision of global growth and brand leadership. 4. Strong Brand Identity and Reputation A strong brand transcends borders. Global market success depends heavily on how consumers perceive and trust a brand. Reputation, once built, becomes a key competitive advantage that drives loyalty and market expansion. Companies that consistently deliver quality, ethical practices, and transparency earn the trust of global customers. Apple, Nike, and Samsung are examples of brands that represent innovation, quality, and status — values that resonate worldwide. Brand success in the global market also depends on: Consistent brand messaging across cultures Localized marketing campaigns that reflect local values Corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives that enhance goodwill Emotional connection through storytelling and authenticity A powerful global brand acts as a bridge across cultures and markets, allowing companies to command premium prices and sustain long-term relationships. 5. Efficient Supply Chain and Operations Management Operational efficiency and a resilient supply chain are vital for global competitiveness. The ability to source materials globally, manufacture efficiently, and deliver products on time defines a company’s success in international markets. A robust supply chain ensures: Cost optimization through global sourcing Speed and flexibility in responding to market changes Risk mitigation against disruptions such as geopolitical tensions or pandemics Technological integration — such as blockchain for transparency or AI for demand forecasting — has revolutionized global supply chain management. Companies like Amazon and Unilever have mastered this pillar by building logistics networks that span continents, supported by data analytics and automation. These efficiencies not only improve profitability but also enhance customer satisfaction and competitiveness. 6. Financial Strength and Risk Management Global expansion requires significant financial resources. Success depends not only on investment capacity but also on the ability to manage risks such as currency fluctuations, inflation, political instability, and trade policy changes. Companies must establish: Hedging strategies for currency and interest rate volatility Diversified revenue streams to offset regional downturns Robust financial planning for taxation, compliance, and cost management Financial resilience allows businesses to withstand global shocks, like the COVID-19 pandemic or trade wars, while continuing operations and maintaining investor confidence. Additionally, access to global financing options — such as international bonds, venture capital, and foreign direct investments (FDIs) — strengthens a company’s ability to scale operations and explore new markets. 7. Talent Management and Cross-Cultural Leadership Human capital is one of the most valuable assets in global success. Managing a diverse, cross-cultural workforce requires leadership that understands different values, work ethics, and communication styles. Successful global firms emphasize: Cross-cultural training for employees Inclusive leadership that values diversity Decentralized decision-making for regional responsiveness Talent mobility programs to develop global leaders For example, multinational companies like Google and IBM encourage internal global mobility, allowing employees to experience different cultures and bring innovative ideas to their roles. Building global teams also enhances creativity, problem-solving, and adaptability — qualities essential for sustained success in international markets. 8. Technology Integration and Digital Transformation Digital transformation is no longer optional; it is the backbone of modern global business success. Companies that leverage technology for marketing, operations, analytics, and customer engagement gain a massive advantage. Key technological enablers include: Artificial Intelligence (AI) for predictive analytics and automation Big Data for consumer insight and personalized marketing Cloud computing for scalable operations E-commerce platforms for global reach Digitalization allows even small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to compete internationally without the need for large physical infrastructure. For instance, Shopify and Alibaba have enabled countless businesses to access global markets through online stores, while advanced logistics and digital payment systems simplify global trade transactions. Thus, technology acts as both a driver of innovation and an equalizer that lowers barriers to global market entry. 9. Legal and Ethical Compliance Operating globally requires strict adherence to international laws, trade agreements, and ethical standards. Failure to comply can lead to heavy penalties, brand damage, or even market bans. Key compliance areas include: Trade regulations and import/export duties Data protection and privacy laws (e.g., GDPR in Europe) Environmental sustainability standards Anti-corruption and fair competition laws Ethical conduct, corporate transparency, and sustainability practices are now essential for brand reputation and investor trust. Companies that integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles attract more customers and long-term investors. A responsible global business does not merely chase profit; it contributes to global well-being and sustainable development. 10. Customer-Centric Approach and Relationship Building At the heart of global market success lies one universal truth — the customer is king. Businesses that place customers at the center of their strategy are more likely to succeed globally. This involves: Listening to customer feedback from diverse markets Offering localized support and services Using data analytics to personalize offerings Building long-term trust rather than focusing solely on short-term sales Companies like Amazon, Netflix, and Starbucks excel because they continuously adapt their customer experience using data-driven insights. A strong customer relationship not only drives loyalty but also builds powerful word-of-mouth reputation in new markets. 11. Sustainability and Social Responsibility Modern consumers, investors, and regulators increasingly expect businesses to operate sustainably. Environmental and social responsibility is no longer a marketing choice but a business imperative. Sustainability includes: Reducing carbon footprint and waste Ethical sourcing of raw materials Supporting community development Transparent ESG reporting Brands that align their operations with global sustainability goals (like the UN Sustainable Development Goals) not only attract conscious consumers but also secure long-term stability by reducing regulatory risks. Companies like Tesla, Patagonia, and Unilever have demonstrated how sustainability can be integrated into the business model while maintaining profitability. 12. Continuous Learning and Adaptation The global market is dynamic — what works today may not work tomorrow. Continuous learning, innovation, and adaptation are the final and most enduring pillars of success. Businesses must stay alert to: Technological disruptions (AI, automation, blockchain) Changing trade policies and tariffs Evolving consumer expectations Economic and geopolitical shifts Agile companies that embrace change, experiment, and learn from failures can sustain success in the ever-evolving global landscape. Conclusion Global market success is not built overnight. It requires a combination of strategic clarity, cultural understanding, innovation, and resilience. The twelve pillars discussed above — from research and adaptability to sustainability and learning — form an integrated framework that helps businesses expand internationally while maintaining a strong competitive edge. The global marketplace rewards those who can balance local relevance with global vision. Companies that invest in people, technology, ethics, and innovation not only achieve profitability but also become agents of positive global change. In essence, the true measure of global market success lies in creating lasting value — for customers, employees, communities, and the planet — while navigating an ever-changing world with agility and integrity.

BTCUSD slipped further. Can prices sustain above 100,000?Bitcoin remains under pressure as ETF outflows exceeded bln 1.3 bln USD over the past five days, reflecting weakening institutional demand. The Fear & Greed Index slipped into extreme fear territory, hinting at a potential bottom, though sentiment remains fragile. Despite occasional rebounds, deteriorating risk appetite and lower liquidity suggest selling pressure could persist, keeping near-term bitcoin prices vulnerable. From a technical perspective, BTCUSD broke below the ascending channel and is currently testing the psychological support at 100,000. If BTCUSD breaks below this level, the price may extend its decline toward the following support at 88,000. The price is holding below the Ichimoku Cloud, reinforcing its bearish pressure. Conversely, if BTCUSD closes above the 105000 resistance, the price may approach the following resistance at 112,000. By Li Xing Gan, Financial Markets Strategist Consultant to Exness

XAUUSD – PRIORITIZE BUYING, TARGET 4040XAUUSD – PRIORITIZE BUYING, TARGET 4040 🎯 🌤 1. Overview Hello everyone 💬 My perspective on gold today is still to prioritize buying, as there hasn't been a clear deep decline. The price is currently consolidating in a narrow range, needing more time to build momentum before breaking out. I will wait to buy again at the OB area – where there is high liquidity, this is a zone likely to see strong price reactions. The best scenario today: the price may sell off slightly at FVG, then drop to OB to trigger the buy setup. 💹 2. Technical Analysis (ICT Perspective) 💜 Price Structure: Gold still maintains a short-term uptrend, the main trend hasn't been broken. 💎 Liquidity: Liquidity is concentrated below the 3940 area – a potential buying OB. 💫 FVG: The 3975–3980 area is a zone where a slight bearish reaction may occur. ⚙️ Order Block (OB): 3938–3945 is a crucial support zone, with the potential for a strong price rebound from here. 📈 Main Target: 4040 – a high liquidity zone, coinciding with a large frame FVG. 🎯 3. Reference Trading Scenarios 💢 Short SELL (scalping) Entry: 3980 ｜ SL: 3988 TP: 3972 – 3960 – 3940 💖 Main BUY (priority) Entry: 3940 ｜ SL: 3932 TP: 3952 – 3968 – 3990 – 4012 – 4035 ✨ 4. Important Notes 🔹 Observe price reactions at FVG and OB before taking action. 🔹 If the price exceeds 3988, the bearish scenario is temporarily invalidated. 🔹 The main direction is still to buy according to the Smart Money trend – only consider short selling when confirmed. 🌷 5. Conclusion & Interaction with LanaM2 Gold is still following the Smart Money Flow trajectory, patiently waiting for the price to reach a favorable zone to act 💪 This is not an investment recommendation, just a personal perspective based on the ICT method.
