Is Silver Breaking Out?Silver hit a 14-year high last month, and now traders may think the white metal has further upside.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the series of lower highs since late July. XAGUSD pushed above that falling trendline today, potentially signaling a breakout.
Second, prices held the rising 50-day simple moving average. That may suggest its intermediate-term trend is still positive.
Short-term signals may paint a similar picture because the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) is above the 21-day EMA. MACD could also be trying to turn higher.

Moving Averages
OPKO Health | OPK | Long at $1.12OPKO Health finally closed the price gap on the daily chart between $1.11 and $1.12. There are no more price gaps below the current price (bullish). In the past year, insiders (primarily the CEO), have purchased over $4.7 million of shares at an average price of $1.55. Historically, this stock is very cyclical, and I believe we are near the bottom before the next cycle up. I have no idea when this will occur (may trade sideways for a while or dip below $1 in the near-term), but the insider purchases tell me they are preparing for a move. Average analyst price targets are between $2.75 and $3.99 right now, depending on the source. Book value = $1.66. As with any biopharmaceutical and diagnostics company, NASDAQ:OPK is purely speculative at this stage - yet raking in over $600 million in annual revenue.
My personal buy for NASDAQ:OPK was triggered at $1.12 and I hope to see more insider buying at this level.
Targets into 2028:
$1.40 (+22.8%)
$1.66 (+45.6%)
Squeeze for any reason = $5.00 (+338.6%)
Newmont Corp | NEM | Long at $48.00While gold prices have soared recently, gold mining stocks have lagged. Newmont Corp NYSE:NEM , the world's largest gold mining corporation, may be undervalued if the miners take off to catch up to the gold demand/price. Currently sitting near $48.00 and at a historical moving average that it will need to break to show a true trend reversal, NYSE:NEM is in a personal buy zone. Now, the price may break down at the simple moving average and test the patience of shareholders, but the long game may benefit those who can tolerate the volatility.
Target #1 = $57.00
Target #2 = $71.00
Freshpet | FRPT | Long at $63.15Freshpet's NASDAQ:FRPT future growth looks very good based on *current* estimates. The company's revenue is anticipated to grow from $1.18B–$1.21B in 2025 to ~$1.9B by 2028, implying an annual growth rate of ~13–17%. NASDAQ:FRPT targets a 22% adjusted EBITDA margin by 2027, with adjusted EBITDA expected at $190M–$210M in 2025. The stock is definitely not "cheap" right now with a price-to-earnings of 92x. However, the growth projections look solid if they can maintain the pace of growth through a tumultuous economy - the pet market is wildly resilient.
Since February 2025, insiders have grabbed over $931,764 in shares at an average price of $100.93. The only open price gap below the current price was a closed yesterday. A blaring price gap between $124-$128 is likely to be closed - just a matter of when. With very low debt (debt-to-earnings of 0.5x), Quick Ratio over 3 (heathy), and Altman's Z-score of 3+ (low bankruptcy risk), the company appears extremely healthy. I think there is a chance the price could reach into the high $40's and $50's in the near-term, but long term... if the projections are correct... the company looks poised from major profit.
Thus, at $63.15, NASDAQ:FRPT is in a personal buy zone with near-term risk of a drop into the high $40s and $50s.
Targets into 2028:
$90.00 (+42.5%)
$125.00 (+ 97.9%)
Capital One May Be Entering Price DiscoveryCapital One has spent months near late-winter highs, and some traders may think it’s ready for the wild blue yonder.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the jump to new record highs on July 23 after quarterly results beat estimates. Prices got sucked lower because momentum (as measured by MACD) was bearish at the time. However the oscillator is now turning higher.
Second, the financial stock has cleared a falling trendline and now seems to be bouncing at it.
Third, prices have tracked the rising 50-day simple moving average. That may be consistent with an intermediate-term uptrend.
Next, the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) is also above the 21-day EMA. That may be consistent with a short-term uptrend.
Finally, COF made a weekly closing high of $203.71 on January 31. It stalled at that level in mid-May and mid-June. Prices then pulled back to hold that level at the beginning of this month. Has old resistance become new support?

Potential Continuation in Alamos Gold Alamos Gold began the year with a rally. Now, after a period of consolidation, some traders may see further upside.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the July 11 weekly close of $26.62. It constrained prices for over a month, but yesterday the Canadian gold miner broke that resistance and closed at its highest level in almost four months.
Second, consider the low in mid-July, the lower low in late July and the higher low in August. That rounded bottom may suggest buyers are active not far below the recent range.
Third, the small distance between the 50- and 100-day simple moving averages highlights the extended consolidation phase. Could its longer-term uptrend resume if that neutral period ends?
Fourth, the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) is above the 21-day EMA. MACD is also rising. Those signals may be consistent with short-term bullishness.

XRP heading to $4 in 5 waves 🔎 Technical Analysis
1. Price Action
• XRP is currently around $2.85–2.86.
• There’s a visible descending trendline showing lower highs, but price is consolidating sideways near horizontal support (~$2.85).
2. Support & Resistance
• Strong support: around $2.80–2.85 (tested multiple times).
• Immediate resistance: around $2.90–2.95, where the descending trendline aligns.
• Major upside target: around $3.05–3.10, if resistance breaks.
3. Indicators
• SMA 50: Price is hovering just below the moving average, suggesting sellers still in control but losing momentum.
• Williams %R: Currently at -66.44, sitting in the bearish zone but close to oversold. This signals downside momentum is weakening.
4. Chart Projection
• The black arrow drawn shows a potential bullish reversal: bounce from support → break trendline → run toward $3.05 and heading towards all time highs and price discovery of $4 plus.
• This would only confirm if XRP breaks and holds above the descending trendline (~$2.90–2.95).
✅ Bullish Scenario
• Hold support at $2.80–2.85.
• Break above $2.95, leading to a push toward $3.05–3.10.
❌ Bearish Scenario
• If $2.80 support fails, price could revisit $2.70 or lower.
Watching for a Pullback Entry on EUROFOREXCOM:EURUSD
🇪🇺💶 The euro remains under pressure, with EUR/USD hovering near a two-week low. Investors are cautious ahead of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole symposium, which is widely expected to provide new insights into the central bank’s policy direction. 📉 Market participants are holding back from major moves until they hear whether Powell will strike a hawkish or dovish tone.
⚖️ Traders are specifically looking for clarity on the future path of U.S. interest rates. Concerns are growing that Powell could push back against expectations for an imminent rate cut, which would reinforce dollar strength and weigh further on the euro. 💵✨ A more hawkish message could extend EUR/USD weakness, while any dovish hints may allow the pair to rebound from current lows.
🇪🇺💶The euro slipped to a two-week low versus the dollar, testing the 50-day EMA after hawkish comments from Fed officials.
Great trading day everyone! What is your opinion about EURO today?
USD/CAD Bulls Eye 200DMA RetestHaving cleared resistance at 1.3900 on Thursday, a bullish setup has presented itself in USD/CAD ahead of Jerome Powell’s speech at Jackson Hole.
Longs could be established above the level with a stop beneath for protection, targeting the 200-day moving average found today at 1.40336. The price has already backtested and bounced off 1.3900 in Asian trade, strengthening the merits of the setup. Momentum signals are firmly positive, with RSI (14) trending higher but not yet overbought, while MACD is also trending higher in positive territory above the signal line.
While market pricing for Fed rate cuts is now less rich than just a few days ago, Powell is unlikely to explicitly back a September rate cut in his speech, especially with the August payrolls report on tap early next month.
If the price were to reverse back beneath 1.3900 and hold there, the bullish bias would be invalidated, opening the door for strategies to trade the range down to support at 1.3800.
Good luck!

a flag breakout can be a bullish trade ideahere as per technical analysis , we can see several factor which can
aide a bullish take on TESLA stock on a very short term time frame .
1) pole and flag
2) prices above 20 Day sma ( h)
3) monthly pivot ( traditional ) crossover upside
Pole and flag : a pole and flag which has a decreasing volume during the flag formation , and not having much of retracement , aides the bullish view here
20 DSMA :till the time prices are above the 20 day sma (high) , we can keep our bullish trade intact ,
Pivot level monthly : recently the stock has crossed over monthly pivot level ( traditional ) , in an assuring manner
prices forming a floor above floor structure , where the prices are showing their initial motive towards upside , and then correcting in a slow manner in a retracement manner . a good time has been spent in the shadow of the impulsive motive ( upside ) , which creates a stronger base for the prices and shows no major selling has been happening here , and the profit booked at the higher levels are being bought out again ( re-entry into the market )
break of structure , the lesser candles demand zone which actually created a break of strcuture was respected recently ,
action plan , as soon as the flag pattern is breached on the upside , with a good volume candle , one can have a bullish entry here .
stoploss level at 330 , target price : 15% after the breakout of the flag.
A Quick Update on SilverThe 200-hour SMA has long been a key moving average, acting as support, resistance, or an anchor after sharp moves. Today, it is serving as resistance together with a broken short-term trendline. As long as silver remains below this level, the intraday direction will stay downward.
NZD/USD: Powell the last hope for Kiwi bullsThe significant dovish shift from the RBNZ at its August meeting has left the Kiwi dollar on the backfoot, closing Wednesday beneath former support at .5850 and the key 200DMA. With Fed rate-cut pricing already so rich heading into Jackson Hole, only an explicit dovish shift from chair Jerome Powell may be enough to prevent a USD rally. As such, a short NZD/USD setup looks to be on the menu.
Positions could be built beneath the 200DMA with a stop either above it or .5850. A retest and rejection of the 200 would strengthen the case. The 50% fib of the April-July rally sits just above .5800, offering a potential early hurdle. A break beneath that opens the way to .5750, .5700 and .5639, all levels that saw plenty of action earlier this year and screen as potential targets depending on risk-reward.
Momentum indicators are flashing bearish across the board, favouring downside. If price reverses back above .5850 and holds, the bearish bias is invalidated.
Good luck!

Uncle North Strategy on EURUSD H4 EURUSD 20/8/2025
I'm glad we got there! Communication can be tricky, especially when discussing technical details, but we've successfully refined the strategy to your exact needs.
The current version of the code now correctly implements the logic you've wanted all along: it uses the MACD signal for entry and then uses the most recently available pivot high or low to set the stop-loss. This approach will significantly increase the number of trades compared to the previous, more restrictive logic.
This is a great example of an iterative development process. We started with a base idea and refined it step by step to build a strategy that works exactly as you envisioned. I'm here to help with any further refinements or new projects you have in mind.
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals | REGN | Long at $502.28Regeneron Pharmaceuticals NASDAQ:REGN stock dropped more than 17% today due to mixed Phase 3 trial results for itepekimab, a potential COPD drug. However, the company has an extensive drug pipeline, raked in over $14 billion last year, and is currently trading at a price-to-earnings of 15x. Debt-to-equity is 0.09x (extremely healthy) and earnings are forecast to grow 7.5% per year. While 2025 is anticipated to be its "worst" earnings year, the outlook through 2028 looks like steady growth in revenue and cash flow.
From a technical analysis view, the stocks entered my "crash" simple moving average zone today (currently between $466 and $502). More often than not, this area signals a bottom in the near-term, but it's not guaranteed. I wouldn't be surprised if the $450s-$460s get hit before a reversal if the market shifts negatively - which will be another entry for me. If it moves into my "major" crash zone in the $300s to close more gaps on the daily chart, I will be piling into this stock heavily (like I did with NYSE:UNH ) for a longer-term hold - of course, unless fundamentals change. I'm going to keep my target small unless there is a "major crash" and eye the closing of the nearest price gap on the daily. There is another between $883-$914...
Targets:
$590 (+17.5%)
Is the AI Trade Done for Now?AI has been a dominant theme for months, but some traders may think the robots are getting tired.
Today’s idea highlights a few key stocks in the technology sector associated with the trend.
First is Microsoft, which jumped on July 31 after strong results but failed to hold. It subsequently made a series of lower highs, and is now breaking the bottom of that triangle.
MSFT also closed under its 21-day exponential moving average for the first time since mid-April. MACD has been falling as well. Those signals may suggest its short-term trend has morphed from positive to negative.
Palantir has performed similarly. The software company gapped to new highs but then failed to hold and is now lower than it was the day of the news:
Third, Advanced Micro Devices more than doubled between late March and mid-August. But this weekly chart shows it stalling at $187.28, a peak from April 2024:
Finally, MSFT, PLTR and AMD are some of the most active underliers in the options market. That could help some traders take positions with calls and puts.

XAUUSD Bearish Rally continueGold has finally broken below the 3317 – 3332 support zone after a corrective move to the trendline area. At the moment, price is still holding around 3317, which could act as a temporary consolidation zone within the narrow range of 3317 – 3333 before continuing lower toward the next support at 3301.
The downtrend structure remains strong, as shown by the consistent formation of Lower Highs (LH) and Lower Lows (LL). As long as price fails to break back above 3332 – 3358, the bearish bias remains dominant with room for further downside.
However, traders should also be cautious of a potential short pullback toward the nearest resistance (3333 – 3338) before resuming the decline. Minor support levels may trigger small bounces, so waiting for H4 candle confirmation is recommended before taking aggressive entries.
If at some point price manages to break out and close steadily above 3358 – 3366, the current bearish outlook should be re-evaluated, as Gold may attempt a reversal toward higher levels.
🎯
Sell Area: 3333 – 3338
Stop Loss: 3350
Take Profit:
TP1: 3318
TP2: 3300
TP3: 3290

⚠️ Additional Notes
A breakout below 3301 may accelerate the drop toward 3289 – 3277.
As long as price stays below the main trendline, a sell on rally strategy remains safer.
Pay close attention to the 3317 support area, as buyers may still attempt to defend this level before sellers push further down.
Silver: Bulls clinging to 50DMA, bears smell opportunitySilver finds itself resting on the key 50DMA, a level traders have used as a launchpad for bullish moves on the last two occasions of testing. However, with unconvincing price action and momentum indicators turning neutral, it may be a case of third time lucky for bears on this occasion.
Silver has already broken beneath the February 2012 high of $37.46, which has acted as something akin to a dividing line for price action since first being crossed in July—a small win for bears seeking a deeper pullback. But given how often bears have attempted to break beneath the 50DMA only to see the price reverse back in their face, to bolster the case for shorts it would be preferable to see a close beneath the level before establishing bearish positions. Potential targets include $36.27 and $35.50. A stop above either the 50DMA or $37.46 would offer protection against reversal.
If the 50DMA holds firm again, the setup could be flipped with longs established above the level with a stop beneath for protection. $38.73 screens as an initial target having acted as both support and resistance in July and August.
Good luck!
