Trading Gold Without a Stop Loss: A Slow Suicide1️⃣ No Stop Loss Is Not Courage Many traders believe that trading gold without a Stop Loss shows confidence, toughness, or the ability to withstand volatility. In reality, it often means the opposite. Not using a Stop Loss usually comes from one simple reason: an unwillingness to admit being wrong. When price moves against the position, instead of accepting a controlled loss, traders choose to hold and convince themselves that gold will eventually come back. The problem is that the market does not operate on personal belief. Not having a Stop Loss does not make you stronger. It only makes your mistakes harder to fix. 2️⃣ In Gold Trading, No Stop Loss Means No Brakes XAUUSD is a high-volatility market that reacts aggressively to news and capital flows. Price can move far and fast — sometimes within minutes. Trading gold without a Stop Loss is like driving downhill without brakes. At first, it may feel manageable. But once momentum accelerates, you no longer have a choice. Gold does not care where you entered. And it will not stop just because your account is in pain. 3️⃣ A Trade Without a Stop Loss Rarely Kills You Instantly The real danger is that it kills you slowly. It starts with a small drawdown. Then a deeper one. Until you no longer have the emotional clarity to exit. What began as a trade becomes: - A holding position - A hope trade - A prayer trade At that point, it is not just your account at risk — your discipline and mental control are already gone. And once emotions take over decision-making, the outcome is usually inevitable. 4️⃣ Long-Term Traders Are Not the Ones Who Win the Most They are the ones who lose with limits. A Stop Loss is not there to be hit. It exists so you always know: - Where you are wrong - How much you are willing to lose - And whether you can come back tomorrow In gold trading, a Stop Loss is not a personal preference. It is the price of staying in the game. Without it, sooner or later, the market will teach you this lesson — with real money.

BTCUSD: Is Every Pullback a Trap?BTCUSD is currently trading within a clearly defined bearish trend , as both news flow and technical structure favor the sellers . Short-term capital has become more cautious, buying momentum has weakened after the prior strong rally, and there is no sufficiently strong catalyst to trigger a genuine trend reversal. From a news perspective, the macro backdrop remains risk-off . The USD stays relatively stable, while expectations for policy easing remain uncertain, leaving Bitcoin without the momentum needed for a sustainable upside move. As a result, current rebounds are mostly technical in nature, rather than signals of a new bullish trend. On the chart, the bearish structure remains intact, with a consistent sequence of Lower Highs and Lower Lows. Price continues to respect the descending trendline and has been repeatedly rejected on rallies, confirming that sellers are still in control. The Ichimoku cloud above price acts as dynamic resistance, further limiting recovery attempts. The 84,900 zone stands out as the nearest and most critical resistance. This area represents a confluence of the descending trendline and a technical pullback zone , making the probability of renewed selling pressure relatively high. On the downside, 80,600 remains a strong support level, where price may react or form a short-term technical bounce. Overall, BTCUSD is in a controlled bearish phase . As long as price fails to break and hold above the descending trendline , rebounds should be viewed as sell-the-rally opportunities, rather than reasons to rush into expecting a long-term bottom.

Correction - Gold begins to fall✍️ NOVA hello everyone, Let's comment on gold price next week from 02/02/2026 - 02/06/2026 ⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION: Since the announcement, Gold prices have reaccelerated their losses, while the Greenback recovered, despite being poised to sustain losses of over 1.42% in January, based on the US Dollar Index (DXY). The DXY, which measures the US currency performance versus six peers, surges 0.74% to 96.87, a headwind for Bullion prices. Long-dated US Treasury yields are rising in a sign that speculators see fewer odds that Warsh could cut rates “indiscriminately” to please the White House. The US 10-year Treasury note yield is up one-and-a-half basis points at 4.247% as of writing. ⭐️Personal comments NOVA: Gold prices have begun a major downward correction, falling below 5000 due to profit-taking pressure. 🔥 Technically: Based on the resistance and support areas of the gold price according to the H4 frame, NOVA identifies the important key areas as follows: Resistance: $4995, $5164, $5453 Support: $4675, $4532 🔥 NOTE: Note: Nova wishes traders to manage their capital well - take the number of lots that match your capital - Takeprofit equal to 4-6% of capital account - Stoplose equal to 2-3% of capital account - The winner is the one who sticks with the market the longest

USDJPY: Is Every Bounce a Trap?When viewing USDJPY through a calm and disciplined lens , the market is currently sending a very clear message: the bearish move is not over yet . From a news perspective, the focus is no longer on whether the USD is strong or weak, but rather on the growing fear of potential intervention from Japan . Each time the pair attempts to bounce, market sentiment immediately turns cautious . This hesitation drains momentum from upside moves, while JPY gets bought as a defensive response. This creates a controlled bearish environment, where no major negative headline is needed — persistent pressure alone is enough to push price lower. Looking at the chart, the bearish structure is forming cleanly . After the sharp drop, USDJPY attempted a recovery but failed to break above the 153.2–153.3 resistance zone, while being rejected by the descending trendline and the Ichimoku Cloud. This rebound appears technical rather than accumulative, signaling that buyers are not truly stepping in. With price repeatedly rejected from this area, the most logical scenario remains trend continuation to the downside , rather than a reversal. On the lower side, the 150.8 zone stands out as the first area where the market may attempt to find a reaction. Until this structure is clearly invalidated, expecting a sustainable bullish move remains premature.

XAG/USD – A Market That Refuses to Go LowerThere is one thing that stands out very clearly on XAG/USD right now: the market has absolutely no intention of moving lower. The news flow is quiet, with no major shocks — and paradoxically, that is exactly what favors the BUY side. The Fed is not hawkish enough to choke precious metals, real yields are failing to create pressure , and defensive sentiment remains quietly present beneath the surface. For silver, the narrative is even stronger than gold: it is both a safe-haven asset and an industrial metal. Capital inflows are not speculative hit-and-run trades — this is hold, push, and accumulate behavior. Looking at the chart, price is clearly advancing within a clean and steep ascending channel. Every pullback is disciplined and controlled — p rice taps the lower trendline and immediately reacts upward. No panic, no aggressive sell-offs. This is a textbook sign that smart money is in control, not a market driven by FOMO. Ichimoku may only be playing a supporting role here — but it is an extremely reliable one. Price is firmly above the cloud, the cloud itself is sloping upward, and the distance between price and the cloud confirms that bullish momentum still has room to run. There are no signs of exhaustion or distribution at this stage. The 112.7 zone is not a level to fear — it is a trend-validation boundary. As long as price holds above this area, every retracement should be viewed as an opportunity for the market to reload. And once momentum is fully rebuilt, a move toward 124.3 becomes a matter of time, not doubt.

Prices are constantly rising - 5652⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION: Gold price (XAU/USD) surges to a fresh record high of $5,579 before retreating to around $5,500 in early Asian trading on Thursday. The rally of the precious metal is bolstered by strong safe-haven demand amidst persistent geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainty, and a weaker US Dollar (USD). Geopolitical tensions persisted after US President Donald Trump issued fresh warning to Iran on Wednesday. Trump urged Iran to “come to the table” and negotiate a “fair and equitable deal” that would prohibit the development of nuclear weapons or the next US attack would be far worse. Meanwhile, Iran responded with a threat to strike back against the US, Israel and those who support them. ⭐️Personal comments NOVA: With tariffs combined with the risk of another US government shutdown, gold continues to show its current overwhelming appeal. The price increase is too sharp. ⭐️SET UP GOLD PRICE: 🔥SELL GOLD zone: 5652 - 5654 SL 5659 TP1: $5640 TP2: $5620 TP3: $5600 🔥BUY GOLD zone: 5402 - 5400 SL 5395 TP1: $5420 TP2: $5440 TP3: $5460 ⭐️Technical analysis: Based on technical indicators EMA 34, EMA89 and support resistance areas to set up a reasonable BUY order. ⭐️NOTE: Note: Nova wishes traders to manage their capital well - take the number of lots that match your capital - Takeprofit equal to 4-6% of capital account - Stoplose equal to 2-3% of capital account

XAU/USD: Uptrend Still Alive — Do You Agree?Hello traders, by combining the current news backdrop with the H1 chart, I still assess that XAU/USD is trading within a clear and well-controlled uptrend. Do you agree with this view? To explain this bullish outlook, starting with the fundamental side , gold continues to be supported by expectations that the Fed will maintain a cautious stance. Real yields are not creating meaningful pressure , while safe-haven demand remains quietly present . This keeps capital flowing into the market, and there is currently no reason for the BUY side to step aside in the short term. From a technical perspective, price is moving cleanly within an ascending channel. After a strong breakout, the market pulled back to retest the immediate support zone around 5,150 — an area where the rising trendline and dynamic support converge. The way price reacts here confirms that buyers remain proactive , and that the pullback is technical in nature rather than a sign of distribution. Therefore, as long as price continues to hold above this support area, the bullish structure remains intact. In a favorable scenario, after a brief consolidation phase, price has a solid basis to extend the uptrend toward the 5,350 area, in line with the momentum of the primary trend. Thank you for reading, and wish you all successful trading!

Weak USD, EURUSD Ready to Push HigherIn the short term, the US dollar is lacking strong bullish momentum as markets move into a wait-and-see mode ahead of the Fed , while recent US economic data has failed to trigger fresh USD buying. As a result, USD weakness remains largely technical in nature, indirectly allowing EURUSD to maintain its upward momentum. From a technical perspective, the market structure is clearly bullish , with higher highs and higher lows firmly in place. The ascending trendline continues to be respected, and each pullback is quickly met with strong buying interest, confirming that c apital is still flowing on the BUY side. At the moment, the 1.1850 level is acting as a key short-term support. Price consolidating above this zone suggests the market is pausing to build strength rather than distributing. If bullish momentum holds, the next upside target for EURUSD lies around 1.1930, where a higher-timeframe H4 resistance is located. Combining both fundamental and technical factors, EURUSD shows no clear signs of reversal at this stage. In this environment, the most logical approach remains trading in the direction of the uptrend, looking for buy-on-dip opportunities and avoiding counter-trend SELL positions as long as the bullish structure stays intact.

GBPUSD Swing Trade In ProgressHi Traders! Three days ago I wrote a mind about swinging GU. As I do my top down analysis, here is my trade plan... Based off of the weekly, GU looked to me that it is in a retracement phase giving a low at 1.30200 then progressing to the upside. With the 3 small candles printed from Monday Dec. 29th to January 12th, GU has then been in progress to make a new bullish engulfing candle (Closing in 1 day). Moving down to the daily, within the 3 weekly candles, price seemed to be in another retracement dipping into the 50% zone at 1.33500 from the high of around 1.35700. If the 1.33500 higher low is true, then I am looking for price to continue to fill in the weekly wicks. Furthermore, as I began to look for my entry moving down to the 2HR TF, price came down to a 2HR CHOCH zone bouncing off 1.34000. With no close below and continuation, this gave me the opportunity to fill my order around 1.34500. My swing targets are 1.35500, and potentially into 1.36000. Based off of my TP targets, I'm looking for price to continue to fill in weekly wicks. Depending on how price reacts to 1.35500/Resistance and if price can stay above 1.35500 with signs of continuation, then I'd consider holding longer. However, with everything said, I am still taking into consideration that price is in a failed swing, and anything below 1.34000 would invalidate my swing plan. Entry: 1.34500 TP 1: 1.35500/1.35600 SL: 1.34000 ~1:2 RR *DISCLAIMER: I am not a financial advisor. The ideas and trades I take on my page are for educational and entertainment purposes only.

Gold prices consolidate above 5000.⭐️GOLDEN INFORMATION: Gold price (XAU/USD) extends its upside to around $5,050 during the early Asian session on Tuesday. The precious metal gains momentum amid growing concerns about financial and geopolitical uncertainty. The US ADP Employment Change and Consumer Confidence reports will be published later on Tuesday. Traders rushed to the safe-haven asset as concern spread that US President Donald Trump is upending relations with key allies, from Europe to Canada. Trump on Saturday threatened to slap 100% tariffs on Canadian goods if the country strikes a trade deal with China, raising fears of a renewed trade war. ⭐️Personal comments NOVA: Safe-haven assets – gold and silver – continue to surge due to global instability, accumulating and sustaining price increases. ⭐️SET UP GOLD PRICE: 🔥SELL GOLD zone: 5140 - 5142 SL 5147 TP1: $5125 TP2: $5110 TP3: $5085 🔥BUY GOLD zone: 4992 - 4990 SL 4985 TP1: $5008 TP2: $5025 TP3: $5040 ⭐️Technical analysis: Based on technical indicators EMA 34, EMA89 and support resistance areas to set up a reasonable BUY order. ⭐️NOTE: Note: Nova wishes traders to manage their capital well - take the number of lots that match your capital - Takeprofit equal to 4-6% of capital account - Stoplose equal to 2-3% of capital account

Nat Gas: At The Moon - $6.. Now Next Stop $7?! NYMEX:NG1! NYMEX:NGG2026 Well it's been 4 days since my last post, In my previous post I put forward a target of $6 for the prompt month NG contract . Now that we've blown through that target with a strong weekend open, the next question is where do we go from these historic Winter 2026 highs?? Many NG bears, would argue everything is already priced in, and there's no more gas left in the tank. However, if you look back a year from now, you'll realize we're finally at the bullish levels that were the BASE CASE for what we thought the supply & demand picture would like for 2026. This means we are finally at the expected value that markets had anticipated, 12 months ago, not that we are OVERVALUED. Now BEARS are supposed be hibernating during the winter, but for some the recent historic rally has caused them to come out of hibernation. Well... there's a reason bears try to sleep through the winter.... it's because you don't chase penny's... when there's dollars to be made!! Right now you should only be taking tactical & quick shorts. This rally still has room to run, and you don't want to step in front of this Bull Train!! From my charts & fundamental insights, I believe our next target for a session close will be $6.55 then $6.99, and that the February 2026 contract will expire above $6. Looking at the charts for the front month, you can clearly see an upward directional channel that's now been established. The 30 minute ichi cloud has been providing upward support for NG. The 30min ichi wave targets are lower than the 1hour ichi cloud, and at first if you're looking at the lower time frame, it might seem that the near term movement is to the downside, below the lower upward channel support line & the next wave targets take us lower. Howeverrrrrrr, if you look at the 1hour ichi, you can clearly see a support cloud above the upward channels bottom support. The next wave targets on the hourly seem to imply, that we can reach $6.55 to $6.65, and if those targets are smashed through next resistance is at $6.99 at the top of the upward channel. The one hope for Bears, that may lead to consolidation & accumulation at or below the $6 level, before another move higher past $6.30 : "..analysts said potential reductions in LNG exports and pipeline deliveries to Mexico could help offset some of the tightening. “Another potential wrinkle is how much LNG exports may decline as a result of Fern,” said Pat Rau, NGI’s senior vice president of research and analysis. “Back during Winter Storm Uri, LNG exports fell as well. That meant the overall supply/demand picture wasn’t just lost supply, there was some curtailed demand to help balance things a bit.””-NGI Now, taking the above quote into consideration... I know you must be skeptical of a continuation of this breakout, but please refer to my previous post of why this rally had legs to begin with to take out the $6 level. But to reach the $7 level, I'll provide a few more quotes below, of why this historic Winter Freeze will keep the bull train going strong down the tracks. A few fundamental insights on why the cold weather in the U.S. has been an ignition switch for NG prices for the weekend open, quotes provided from industry news source Natural Gas Intelligence: “I think this storm has all the elements to make it a major risk on the level of Elliott and Uri,” said NGI’s Dan Spangler, senior director of analytics. “There’s going to be widespread cold in nearly all major producing areas, so there will definitely be a freeze-off impact.” "Wood Mackenzie said Friday that average U.S. natural gas production month-to-date is down to 109.2 Bcf/d, “reflecting the impact of supply-related outages.” The consultancy’s freeze-off projections for the final two weeks of January jumped 9.5 Bcf on Thursday to 138.8 Bcf. That would be an all-time high if realized, breaking the 118.7 Bcf record set in February 2021 when Uri hit.” "When Uri struck in mid-February 2021, LNG feed gas flows slowed to a trickle. Deliveries fell 87% to 1.3 Bcf/d from above 10 Bcf/d at the start of the month, Wood Mackenzie data show." “Prices still took off back then, of course,” Rau said, “but the impact may have been even worse if LNG hadn’t served as a demand destruction vehicle to help counter some of the lost production.” "Even so, Fern may not stress the Texas power grid to the same degree as Uri, according to RBN Energy LLC analyst John Abeln. The expected zone of extreme cold during Fern “does not extend as far south across Texas” as it did during Uri, Abeln said, and the storm is forecast to move through the state much more quickly. Temperatures in Dallas are expected to rise above freezing by Tuesday, compared with a much longer stretch below freezing during Uri. “The sustained deep freeze that exhausted storage and led to equipment failures is likely to be much less severe this time around,” Abeln said. If deep snow materializes, frigid temperatures linger and production freeze-offs mount, February natural gas “could rally to the $7.500 area” in a highly bullish scenario, Yawger added. Exceptional storage withdrawals are in the cards as well, with most analysts now looking for a pull far north of 300 Bcf for the last week of the month. “The chatter around the natural gas space is a storage draw of over 350 Bcf or greater,” Yawger said. “There have only ever been four draws of 300 Bcf or greater in the history” of federal storage data.

BTC: Price Update and Likely Next MoveBitcoin managed to break above the 94K resistance level. That breakout attracted a lot of new long positions, as traders expected a quick move toward higher prices. Instead of continuing up, price dropped back below 94K. This move back inside the range likely triggered many stop losses on those fresh longs, turning the breakout into a fake move above resistance. What This Tells Us About the Market This behavior suggests the market is not in a clean, one‑directional trend. Instead, it is hunting liquidity at the edges of the range: - First above 94K, where breakout traders got trapped. - Next, potentially below support, where late buyers may be forced out. In simple terms: the market is shaking out impatient traders at both ends before choosing the real direction. The Next Likely Move: Under 84K After the failed breakout above 94K, I now expect a similar pattern on the downside. The idea is: - Price may break below 84K and push into a lower zone. - This would hit stop losses for longs placed just under support. - It creates panic and forces weak hands out of the market. Once that liquidity is taken, Bitcoin can quickly reclaim 84K and move back inside the range with more strength. How This Fits the Bullish Scenario If this move under 84K plays out, it actually builds up for the next major leg up. From there, the path toward 100K opens as price pushes away from the range.

Price has now retraced from recent highs, forming a clean re-entry opportunity within the golden zone, perfectly overlapping a daily/weekly fair value gap (FVG). This confluence area could act as a high-probability demand zone, where price may form a higher low before targeting the next liquidity levels. If the zone holds, the next major objectives remain $7.90 and $11.35, aligning with the broader bullish market structure.

XAUUSD: When War-Driven Capital Meets the AI Arms RaceThe gold market is entering a highly unusual phase — a phase where price action is no longer driven solely by charts , but by global power flows and systemic risk. Gold is benefiting directly from a wave of geopolitical-strategic buying . As global tensions escalate , nations are being forced to accelerate military spending, triggering massive demand for metals across the board. At the same time, the AI race is no longer just about technology — it has evolved into a geopolitical competition, where capital, infrastructure, and strategic resources are being injected at an unprecedented pace. In this environment, gold emerges as a “central asset” — serving both as a safe haven and as a real-time price of global instability. On the chart, price behavior clearly reflects the nature of institutional capital flow . Gold is moving within a well-defined ascending channel , with pullbacks that are fast, shallow, and orderly . Each time price dips into support, buying pressure immediately steps in , confirming that buyers remain firmly in control. The 5,070 zone acts as a critical buffer, while the 5,200 level above is not only a technical objective but also a major psychological milestone for the market. The most important takeaway right now is not how far price has already moved , but that the market has shown no real signs of distribution. There has been no aggressive sell-off, no structural breakdown , and no panic from the buy side. That reality points to one clear conclusion: the bullish trend still has room to extend.

Fake Move at the European Open — A Familiar LessonIf you’ve traded Forex, Gold, or Crypto for any length of time, you’ve likely experienced this scenario: The European session opens. Price makes a clean break above a high or below a low. You enter on the breakout. Minutes later — your stop loss is taken. Then the market moves in the exact direction you originally anticipated. This isn’t bad luck. This is the fake move at the European open — a recurring market behavior. 1. Why Do Fake Moves Often Appear at the European Open? The European session is when: - Liquidity starts to increase rapidly - New capital enters the market - Pending orders from the Asian session are still in place This overlap creates ideal conditions for price to: - Push slightly beyond the Asian session high or low - Trigger stop losses and early breakout entries - Attract impatient traders But that initial push does not represent the true direction of the day. 2. A Breakout at the European Open ≠ A Real Breakout A breakout that looks “clean” is not always a meaningful one. Fake moves at the European open often show: - A break in structure without follow-through - Fast price expansion followed by immediate hesitation - Weak or fading volume - Candles with long wicks or poor closes These are signs that: The market is testing liquidity, not starting a trend. 3. Who Falls Into This Trap Most Often? Fake moves at the European open usually trap: - New traders - Traders driven by FOMO - Those who enter simply because price “broke a level” The issue isn’t the strategy. It’s timing and patience. 4. The Market Needs Liquidity Before a Real Move Before a strong move begins, the market often needs to: - Clear stop losses - Remove early positions - Create the illusion of a wrong direction Fake moves at the European open are how the market: Cleans the path before committing to the real direction. 5. The Lesson for Traders - Not every breakout is worth trading - Timing matters as much as the setup - The European open is often a time to observe before committing Instead of asking: “Did price break the level?” Ask: “Can this breakout hold after 15–30 minutes?”
