Three Paths for VEEM: Pullback, Breakout, or BreakdownScenario 1 (yellow line): Strategic Pullback to Value Zone Price retraces to the ~$0.67 region, aligning with a Low Volume Node (LVN) and the Fair Value Gap from the June candle. A bullish reversal candle in this zone would signal a high-probability long setup, suggesting accumulation at a key structural level. Scenario 2 (green line): Breakout & Reaccumulation Above Resistance The most bullish scenario unfolds if price decisively breaks and closes above the major resistance at $1.50. A successful reaccumulation above this level would confirm strength, offering a textbook pullback entry for continuation higher. Scenario 3: (red line) Rejection & Macro Lower High Price pulls back but fails to hold above the ~$1.16 zone, facing rejection. A subsequent break of the recent lows would confirm a macro lower high (LH), shifting the bias toward bearish continuation and invalidating bullish setups.

XAUUSD: The Correction Phase BeginsHello everyone, here is my breakdown of the current Gold setup. Market Analysis From a broader perspective, the price of Gold has been in a strong uptrend since breaking out of a prior Downward Channel. This entire bullish phase has been developing within the confines of a large broadening wedge, a pattern that indicates expanding volatility as price makes higher highs and higher lows. Currently, the price is at a critical point, testing the Broadening Resistance Line at the very top of this wedge. This test comes after a very strong and steep upward impulse, which often suggests that a trend might be overextended and due for a correction. My Scenario & Strategy My scenario is a tactical short, based on the idea that this strong rally is due for a healthy pullback. Trends rarely move in a straight line forever, and the resistance line of this multi-week wedge is a high-probability area for sellers to step in. I'm looking for the price to make one final, small push higher and then show a clear sign of rejection. The primary target for this corrective fall is 3500 points. As you noted, this is an intermediate target, not the major Support 1, making it a logical first objective for a pullback. That's the setup I'm tracking. Thank you for your attention, and always manage your risk.

AMD — Watch for Pivot Reversal or Trend ContinuationMarket view Actual volatility is high, confirmed by the Volatility Bars indicator. The rate of change in the SMA is decreasing, suggesting momentum is weakening. The previous candle was a Doji, indicating short-term indecision. Price closed below the prior day’s low, adding bearish pressure. A potential Pivot Point reversal is forming. This reversal setup is confirmed by increasing Convolution Probability, supporting a higher chance of a directional move. Trade plan Long (trend continuation): buy on a break above the August 19, 2025 open. Short (reversal): sell on a break below the pivot reversal at 158.25. Stop-loss and position sizing: use volatility-based stops (e.g., ATR multiple) and risk no more than a small fixed percentage of capital per trade.

Daily Outlook – September 2025 (XAUUSD)Hello traders, Gold closed August with a strong daily close in premium territory, pressing into the 3460–3480 supply. Bulls still control momentum, but September opens with price testing critical levels where continuation or retracement will be decided. 🔹 Daily Structural Zones Premium Supply Zone (3460–3480) → overhead resistance where sellers may attempt control. Decision Zone (3400–3380) → first key support, aligned with EMA 21, pivot for continuation or correction. Mid-Term Demand Zone (3340–3320) → valid Order Block, aligned with EMA 100, stronger structural support. Liquidity Retest Zone (3260–3240) → liquidity pocket / inducement area, a level where short-term sweeps and reactions may occur. 🔹 EMA Confluence (Daily) EMA 5 (3409) → immediate bullish guide. EMA 21 (3370) → inside Decision Zone. EMA 50 (3349) → near Mid-Term Demand. EMA 100 (3330) → aligned with Mid-Term Demand Zone. EMA 200 (3074) → deeper long-term support, outside daily range. 💡 Interpretation: EMAs confirm layered supports. Decision Zone is short-term pivot, Mid-Term Demand is the first true OB, and below it price could sweep the Liquidity Retest Zone. 🔹 Daily Progression Map Bullish scenario: Break above Premium Supply (3460–3480) → unlocks Bullish Expansion Target (3520–3550). Further continuation → Extended Bullish Target (3600). Bearish scenario: Rejection at Premium Supply → pullback into Decision Zone (3400–3380, EMA 21 confluence). If Decision Zone fails → test into Mid-Term Demand OB (3340–3320, EMA 100 confluence). Break below 3320 → liquidity sweep into Liquidity Retest Zone (3260–3240) before deeper targets are considered. 🔹 Daily Bias – September Bullish → while above 3400 (Decision Zone). Neutral → range between 3480 and 3400. Bearish shift → only if D1 closes below 3320. 🔹 Conclusion Gold opens September in premium territory, facing resistance at supply. Breakout above 3480 → continuation to 3520–3550 and 3600. Rejection → correction into Decision Zone (3400–3380), then Mid-Term Demand OB (3340–3320). Below 3320 → expect liquidity play around 3260–3240 before any deeper move. ✨ What’s your view for gold in September?

XAUUSD Short: Sellers to Maintain Control at 3380 SupplyHello, traders! The macro structure for the XAU price auction has been defined by two critical pivot points, establishing a wide and volatile consolidation range. A major pivot point high was formed at the 3390 supply zone, while a subsequent pivot point low anchored the market at the 3300 demand zone. All price action since has occurred between these two dominant control zones, transitioning the market into a state of balance. Currently, the price action is contracting within a large symmetrical triangle, signaling a compression of volatility. The auction is now at a critical inflection point, as it is directly testing the upper boundary of this formation. This area represents a powerful confluence of resistance, where the descending supply line and the horizontal 3380 - 3390 supply zone intersect, providing a key battleground for market participants. The working hypothesis is a short scenario, predicated on sellers successfully defending this resistance confluence. It is anticipated that the price will make a final push into the supply zone before being rejected. A confirmed failure to break higher would validate the triangle's integrity and initiate a full rotation to the downside. The take-profit is therefore set at 3330, targeting the high-liquidity area where the ascending demand line converges with the horizontal demand zone. Manage your risk!

Two Ranges, One Breakout: TCL’s Wyckoff-Gann ConfluenceCurrently tracking two distinct Wyckoff ranges on TCL, each color-coded for clarity. The structure is clean despite a few lines—each range tells a story. Accumulation Zones Key buying opportunities are emerging at the LPS (Last Point of Support), marked by higher lows. These are classic signs of strength and absorption. Resistance & Breakout Potential Expect notable resistance around $15.55, but a breakout is likely. We’re approaching a Gann 4th-time breakout setup, which historically carries strong momentum. If price reaches this zone with expanding volume and wide candle spreads, it adds conviction for a Sign of Strength (SOS) and a potential pullback to retest. Targets & Confluence For take-profit zones, I’m watching: Yearly pivots Range extensions from both Wyckoff structures (100%, 150%, 200%) Gann extensions for harmonic targets This setup blends structure, volume dynamics, and time-price symmetry. If the breakout confirms, TCL could offer a textbook Phase E markup. *please note no time analysis is done, just looking at pathing

Strategic Reaccumulation Zone – NXT’s Next Move Is CriticalNXT is at a pivotal level and shouldn’t be overlooked. Price has rallied strongly off a clean April hammer, which aligned with: Yearly S1 pivot Macro 50% level (projected from ATL to ATH) High volume confirmation This confluence marked a powerful reversal. Price has now reached the 50% resistance zone from the ATH and April low. What happens next will likely define the longer-term trajectory. Scenario Modeling Scenario 1 – Most Bullish Price breaks and holds above $14.48 Reaccumulation above this level Sets up a challenge of ATH and potential price discovery Scenario 2 – Strategic Pullback Missed the April low? This offers a second chance. Pullback to the Yearly S1 pivot (dynamic tool—watch where the local top forms) A higher low here = ideal entry with strong R:R Scenario 3 – EQ Demand Zone Entry Price dips into the EQ zone of the April wick Bullish candle off this level = high-quality entry Converges with macro 50% ATL–ATH projection will take much longer for price to challenge ATHs Scenario 4 – Breakdown Risk April low breaks Downside targets: $6.96 and $5.78 Takeaway: This is a step-by-step reaccumulation watch. Let price reveal intent—each scenario offers a unique R:R profile. Stay nimble, stay strategic. I will update the chart when price settles *please note, arrows are not time analysis

How Do Traders Use the Pivot Points Indicator? How Do Traders Use the Pivot Points Indicator? Pivot points are a popular technical analysis tool for spotting areas where the price is expected to react, i.e. pause or reverse. Calculated using the previous day’s high, low, and close, they’re projected onto the current session to highlight potential support and resistance levels, especially useful for intraday traders. Alongside stock charts, pivot point levels can be used in a wide variety of markets, including forex, commodities, and cryptocurrencies*. As a versatile indicator, pivot points also come in many different types. This article breaks down the definition of pivot points, the variations traders use, and how they can fit into a broader trading strategy. A Deeper Look at Pivot Points A common question in technical analysis is, “What is a pivot point?” Pivot points trading, or pivot point theory, is a popular technical analysis concept used in a range of financial asset classes, including stocks, currencies, cryptocurrencies*, and commodities. The indicator assists traders in gauging overall market trends and determining possible support and resistance barriers. How to Read Pivot Points The pivot point indicator is static—it’s an average of the high, low, and close prices from the previous trading day. It includes three levels: pivot point (P), support (S), and resistance (R). If the price is above the pivot point, it is supposed to target resistance barriers. Conversely, if it’s below the pivot, it could move to support levels. Thus, support and resistance levels serve as targets or stop-loss zones. They remain constant throughout the period, enabling traders to plan ahead. In the EURUSD daily chart below, the price is trading above R2; therefore, market sentiment is assumed to be bullish. R3 indicates the next possible price target. Should a shift below P occur, bearishness arises, and S1 becomes the upcoming support level. Pivots are widely used with trend indicators such as moving averages and Fibonacci tools. In the chart below, Fibonacci retracements could be used to identify intermediate levels of support and resistance within widely placed pivots. How to Calculate Pivot Points? There are four key types of pivots, including standard, Woodie’s, Camarilla, and Fibonacci. While there’s no need to use a pivot points calculator—they’re calculated automatically when implemented on a price chart—it is worth looking at their formulas to understand how they differ from each other. Note the labels for the following formulas: P = pivot point H = high price L = low price C = close price Standard Pivot Points Traders commonly use standard pivot points. Traditional pivots (P) identify potential levels of support (S) and resistance (R) by averaging the previous trading period's high, low, and close prices. P = (H + L + C) / 3 S1 = (2 * P) - H S2 = P - (H - L) R1 = (2 * P) - L R2 = P + (H -L) Although they are popular among traders, they can produce false signals and lead to incorrect trades in ranging markets and during periods of high volatility. Woodie’s Pivot Points Woodie's pivots are similar to standard pivots but include a slight modification to the calculation. In Woodie's method, the close price is assigned more weight. P = (H + L + 2 * C) / 4 R1 = (2 * P) - L R2 = P + H - L S1 = (2 * P) - H S2 = P - H + L However, their extra sensitivity can make them less reliable during choppy markets or when the price lacks a clear direction. Camarilla Pivot Points Camarilla pivots use a set formula to generate eight levels: four support and four resistance. They are based on the previous day’s close and range and multiplied by a certain multiplier. The inner levels (R3 and S3) often act as reversal zones, while R4 and S4 are watched for breakouts. Still, in trending markets, the reversals can fail frequently. R4 = C + (H - L) x 1.5 R3 = C + (H - L) x 1.25 R2 = C + (H - L) x 1.1666 R1 = C + (H - L) x 1.0833 P = (High + Low + Close) / 3 S1 = C - (H - L) x 1.0833 S2 = C - (H - L) x 1.1666 S3 = C - (H - L) x 1.25 S4 = C - (H - L) x 1.5 Fibonacci Pivot Points Fibonacci pivot points are based on the Fibonacci sequence, a popular mathematical concept in technical analysis. They are calculated in the same way as the standard indicator. However, the levels of support and resistance are determined by including the Fibonacci sequence with a close monitoring of the 38.2% and 61.8% retracement levels as the primary price points. P = (High + Low + Close) / 3 S1 = P - (0.382 * (H - L)) S2 = P - (0.618 * (H - L)) R1 = P + (0.382 * (H - L)) R2 = P + (0.618 * (H - L)) Despite their popularity, Fibonacci pivots can become less reliable when the price reacts to other fundamental drivers. Trading with the Pivot Points Although every trader develops their own trading approach, there are common rules of pivot point trading that are expected to improve their effectiveness. Day Trading Day trading with pivot points is usually implemented for hourly and shorter intraday timeframes. As pivot levels are updated daily and calculated on the previous day's high, low, and close prices, this allows traders to react promptly to market changes and adjust their strategies. Some traders prefer Camarilla pivots as their calculation takes into account the volatility of the previous trading period to produce pivot levels closer to the current price. Medium-Term Trading When looking at a medium-term analysis, weekly pivot levels are added to four-hour and daily charts. These are calculated using the previous week's high, low, and close prices, which remain unchanged until the start of the next week. Long-Term Trading For longer-term analysis, traders use monthly pivots on weekly charts. These levels, gathered from the previous month's data, offer a broader picture of market trends and price movements over time. Pivot Point Trading Strategies The pivot points indicator is typically used in two ways – breakout and reversal trading. Breakout Trading Strategy The breakout approach seeks to take advantage of market momentum by entering trades when prices break above or below significant levels of support and resistance. - Bullish Breakout. When levels P and R1 are broken, and the price closes above either, it’s more likely a rise will occur. - Bearish Breakout. When levels P and S1 are broken, and the price closes below either, it’s more likely the price fall will occur. Strong momentum and high volume are two critical factors needed for a solid price movement in both cases. Trading Conditions If a breakout is confirmed, traders enter a trade in the breakout direction. A take-profit target might be placed at the next pivot level. A stop-loss level can be placed beyond the previous level or calculated according to a risk/reward ratio. Traders continuously monitor their trades and adjust their stop-loss levels to lock in potential returns if prices move in their favour. Reversal Trading Strategy The reversal strategy seeks to take advantage of a slowdown in market momentum by entering trades when prices stall at significant levels of support or resistance. - Bullish Reversal. When levels S1 and S2 are not broken and the price stalls above either, a reversal is more likely to occur. - Bearish Reversal. When levels R1 and R2 are not broken and the price stalls below either, a reversal is expected to happen. Note: Reversals are always confirmed by another indicator or a chart pattern. Trading Conditions If a reversal is confirmed, traders consider entering a trade in its direction. The next level may be a take-profit target, which might be trailed to the next level if the market conditions signal a continuation of a price move. A stop-loss level is typically placed below a swing low or above a swing high, depending on the trade direction. Pivot Points and Other Indicators While pivots show where the price may reverse, there’s nothing to say a market won’t trade through these areas. Therefore, traders typically pair them with other technical indicators and patterns. Candlestick and Chart Patterns Traders often combine levels with specific reversal candlestick formations, like three black crows/three white soldiers or engulfing patterns, to confirm a change in market movements. For example, a bullish engulfing candle forming at S1 could reinforce the idea of a reversal at that level. Moving Averages When a pivot aligns with a major moving average, e.g. the 50-period or 200-period EMA, it strengthens the area. As moving averages act as dynamic support and resistance levels, an overlap can signal a strong area where a reversal might occur. RSI and Stochastic Oscillator Momentum indicators like RSI or Stochastic help judge whether the price is likely to bounce or break through a pivot. If it hits support and RSI is oversold, that adds conviction. But if momentum is still strong in one direction, it might get ignored. Considerations Even with strong confluence, these combinations can fail. Markets don’t always respect technical alignment, especially around data releases or sharp movements in sentiment. For instance, in stocks, pivot points may be ignored if an earnings release strongly beats analyst estimates. Instead, they are believed to work when treated as one piece of a broader technical framework. Limitations Pivot points are widely used, but like any tool, they have flaws. They’re based purely on past price data, so they don’t account for news, sentiment shifts, or broader market context. - False signals in ranging markets: The price often oscillates around pivot zones in markets without a clear direction, meaning setups might not follow through. - Less reliable during strong trends: In trending conditions, the price can blow past several levels without reacting. - No built-in volatility filter: The points don’t adapt to changing volatility, so levels might be too close or too far apart to be useful. - Lag in real-time shifts: Since pivots are pre-calculated, they don’t adjust mid-session as new data emerges. Final Thoughts Pivot points are widely used in stock trading as well as in commodity, cryptocurrency*, and currency markets. While they can be useful tools, their limitations cannot be overlooked. It is essential to conduct a comprehensive analysis and confirm the indicator signals with fundamental and technical analysis tools. FAQ What Is a Pivot Point in Trading? The pivot point meaning refers to a technical analysis tool used to identify potential support and resistance levels. It’s calculated using the previous day’s high, low, and close prices, and helps traders find areas where the price may react during the current session. What Is the Best Indicator for Pivot Points? There isn’t one best indicator, but traders often pair pivot points with moving averages, RSI, or candlestick patterns to confirm a potential reversal. The most effective setup usually depends on the strategy and market conditions. What Are the Pivot Points’ R1, R2, and R3? R1, R2, and R3 are resistance levels above the central point. They represent increasingly stronger potential resistance zones where the price may stall or reverse. Which Is Better, Fibonacci or Camarilla? Fibonacci offers wider levels based on retracement ratios, useful in trending markets. Camarilla focuses on tighter reversal zones, which are mostly used for intraday strategies. Each suits different trading styles; neither is objectively better. *Important: At FXOpen UK, Cryptocurrency trading via CFDs is only available to our Professional clients.

Follow the Flow: Trading with Liquidity ZonesLiquidity is where the market breathes. The Liquidity Zones indicator by BigBeluga helps traders visualize where large players may be hiding orders—revealing the zones where price is most likely to react, reverse, or accelerate. Let’s break down how this tool works, how we use it at Xuantify, and how you can integrate it into your own strategy. 🔍 What Is the Liquidity Zones Indicator? This open-source tool identifies pivot highs and lows filtered by volume strength and plots them as liquidity zones —highlighting areas where buy/sell orders are likely to accumulate. Key Features: Volume-filtered pivot detection (Low, Mid, High) Dynamic or static liquidity zone boxes Color intensity based on volume strength Liquidity grab detection with visual cues These zones act as magnets for price , helping traders anticipate where reactions, reversals, or stop hunts may occur. 🧠 How We Use It at Xuantify We use Liquidity Zones as a contextual map for structure and execution. 1. Entry & Exit Planning We align entries near untested liquidity zones and use them as targets for exits—especially when confirmed by structure or momentum. 2. Liquidity Grab Detection When price pierces a zone and reverses, it often signals a liquidity sweep . We use this as a trigger for reversal setups. 3. Volume Context Zones with higher volume intensity are prioritized. These are more likely to attract institutional activity and generate stronger reactions. 🧭 Dynamic vs. Static Zones The indicator offers both dynamic and static zone modes: Dynamic : Box height adjusts based on normalized volume, showing how much liquidity is likely present. Static : Consistent box size for cleaner visuals and easier backtesting. Why this matters: Dynamic zones reflect real-time volume strength Static zones offer simplicity and clarity Both modes help visualize where price is likely to “grab” liquidity ⚙️ Settings That Matter To get the most out of this tool, we recommend: Volume Strength = Mid or High for cleaner zones Enable Dynamic Mode when trading volatile assets Use Color Intensity to quickly spot high-liquidity areas 🔗 Best Combinations with This Indicator We pair Liquidity Zones with: Market Structure Tools – BOS/CHOCH for context Momentum Indicators – Like RSI or MACD for confirmation Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) – For precision entries near liquidity This layered approach helps us trade into liquidity , not against it. ⚠️ What to Watch Out For Liquidity zones are not signals —they’re context . In fast-moving or low-volume markets, price may ignore zones or overshoot them. Always combine with structure and confirmation. 🔁 Repainting Behavior The Liquidity Zones indicator is designed to be non-repainting . However, due to waiting for pivot confirmation, the zones are plotted in hindsight. This makes it suitable for real-time execution . ⏳ Lagging or Leading? This tool is partially lagging —it waits for pivot confirmation and volume validation before plotting a zone. However, once plotted, these zones often act as leading levels , helping traders anticipate where price may react next. 🚀 Final Thoughts The Liquidity Zones indicator by BigBeluga is a powerful visual tool for traders who want to understand where the market is likely to move—not just where it’s been. Whether you’re trading reversals, breakouts, or mean reversion, this tool helps you stay aligned with the market’s hidden intent. Add it to your chart, test it, and see how it sharpens your edge.

Chainlink will explode this cycleChainlink has been moving sideways for the last couple of years. Fundamentally, it is one of the few entities well-positioned to dominate the space. CCIP furthers Chainlink's dominance with a stronger use case and incentives built in for users to pay with Link. With the plethora of blockchains continuing, it is obvious that no one blockchain will rule them all and Chainlink CCIP will the the standard for cross-chain transactions. Fundamentals aside, I am a technical trader, and the fundamentals allow me to invest with little fear, however, the trader in me salivates at this chart. I have observed that tight pivot points cause explosive upside movement. In this chart, we have the one-year, two-year, and three-year pivots, stacked on top of each other with the Bollinger band centerline and linear regression line threading them. This indicates that any further upside in price could likely trigger huge upside when this MA crosses these pivots. With three pivots, fueling the price action, what you are seeing is essentially a launchpad that will send Link to the moon. I am expecting 5x plus easy in the next 16 months, but I would not be surprised to see Link eclipse all the resistance points in the 3-year chart relatively quickly.

Dog Go To The MoonDog is poised to recover well from the bottom. It was way over sold. At this pace it'll naturally run into the weekly basis or mid BB Band, which I estimate is around May. If you bought around the range where the buy signal is, you'll probably be all right to Hodl long term. However, without a Tier 1 listing I suspect it will continue to fully retrace. So, for now the plan is to swing this till may and reassess then. Very promising project. DOG•Go•To•The•Moon•
