5 Elements of the Best Key Level in Forex, Gold Trading
What are the best key levels to trade?
This year I analyzed more than 1500 key structures on Forex, Gold, Crypto and Indexes.
In the today's article, I prepared for you a list of 5 elements of a perfect support and resistance for trading.
As always, remember that the best key levels are always on a daily time frame . So all the structures that we will discuss will be strictly on a daily .
Also, all the structures that I analyzed and traded are available on my TradingView page, so you can back test them by your own.
1. Clear historical significance
The structure that you spotted should act as a significant historical support or resistance.
Here are the important historical support and resistance that I spotted on USDCAD on a daily time frame.
2. Psychological significance
The structure that you identified should match with round numbers.
All the structures that we spotted on USDCAD match with psychological numbers.
3. Confluence with other technical tools
The best structure should align with other trading tools such as trend lines or Fibonacci levels , strengthening its significance.
After adding fibonacci levels and a significant falling trend line on the chart, the confluence was found in Resistance 6, Resistance 3, Resistance 2, Resistance 1, Support 2. Other structure does not match with technical tolls.
4. Volume
The level experiences high trading volumes, indicating strong participation and interest from market participants, especially smart money.
All the structures that we underlined show significant volume spikes. By volume spike, I mean a volume being higher than the average volume - a blue curve on volume.
5. Multiple touches
The more, the better. There are numerous instances where price has respected and reacted to the structure, confirming its strength (at least 2).
Only these 3 structures were confirmed by the multiple touches. These resistances will be considered the strongest ones.
That checklist will help you to identify the most significant structures from where you will be able to catch impulsive movement and make nice profits.

Pivot Points
EURGBP - Bullish Flow form 30M OBBias: Bullish
HTF (4H Overview):
Strong bullish structure overall, with layered minor structure mapping within the flow supporting continuation.
MTF (30M Zone):
Price mitigated a 30M order block and respected the demand zone perfectly, confirming buyers in control.
LTF (Confirmation):
A CHoCH formed, then another CHoCH confirmed strength. Price is now riding the 30M leg as planned.
Entry Plan:
Look for pullback opportunities aligning with demand to join the bullish leg.
Targets:
Next liquidity pools and highs in alignment with 30M structure.
Mindset Note:
Ride the leg, don’t chase—let price return to you.
NASDAQ - Bullish Flow into Highs
Bias: Bullish
HTF (4H Overview):
From the bird’s-eye view, structure remains bullish. Liquidity is being targeted across the 30M–4H multi-timeframe play, with strong bullish intent confirmed by volume printing to the upside.
LTF (30M / 5M Confirmation):
A proper CHoCH has been established. Once the trend shift occurs, we wait for the pullback before attending longs.
Entry Plan:
Look for entry after the courtyard liquidity is collected and demand is mitigated (slash zone).
Targets:
Initial: 5M highs
Extended: 30M highs, depending on market delivery.
Mindset Note:
Patience—let liquidity do its job before striking.
KSM Analysis (4H)Liquidity pools have accumulated at the top, and the price has hit an important supply zone.
Currently, the price is below the flip zone, and there are still untouched liquidity pools at the lower part of the chart. On our chart, we can also see bearish CHs.
The best zone to enter a sell/short position is the red-marked area.
The target can be the green-marked box.
A daily candle close above the invalidation level will invalidate this analysis.
For risk management, please don't forget stop loss and capital management
When we reach the first target, save some profit and then change the stop to entry

XAUUSD (Gold) – NFP Day Setup | Fibonacci Levels in Focus.Description: Gold has created its all-time high at 3578 and is now consolidating ahead of today’s NFP release.
Using Fibonacci retracement on the 1H chart (3470 → 3578):
61.8% → 3512 (tested yesterday)
50% → 3530–3526 (double-tested support)
23% → 3558(current area)
🔎 Trade Scenarios for NFP:
Bullish case (weak NFP): Holding above 3530–3526 could push Gold towards 3578 and even 3600.
Bearish case (strong NFP): A break below 3530–3526 opens the way for 3512, and only below this level Gold may turn bearish till 3470 again.
📊 Key Notes:
Wait for the first NFP volatility spike to settle (15–30 mins).
Focus on 3530–3526 as the pivot zone today.
Risk management is crucial — NFP often creates fakeouts.
⚠️ This is my personal analysis, not financial advice. Trade safe!

XRP — $2.5 Liquidity Zone Could Trigger the Next RallyAfter hitting a new all-time high (ATH) on 18th July, XRP failed to hold the previous ATH ($3.40) as support. This breakdown led to a –25% drop, finding support at the 0.5 Fib retracement of the $1.90 → $3.66 move, followed by a solid +24% bounce back to the pATH (200B MC at $3.36) and 0.702 Fib retracement → an ideal short opportunity.
Now XRP has been trending in a descending triangle pattern for 50 days, with $3 acting as the key resistance. This level is the Point of Control (POC) of the last 75-day trading range, adding weight to its importance. On top of that, the anchored VWAP (~$3.035) is currently reinforcing $3 as additional resistance.
🧩 Confluence Support Zone ($2.665–$2.45)
Liquidity cluster: many stop-losses reside here
Anchored VWAP (support): ~$2.62
Yearly anchored VWAP: $2.59 → strong support level
Golden Pocket (0.618–0.666): $2.5777–$2.4936
21 EMA ($2.665) / 21 SMA ($2.576) (weekly): dynamic HTF support
233 EMA ($2.44) / 233 SMA ($2.53) (daily): strong moving average cluster
Market Cap Support: $2.52 aligns with the $150B level
1.0 Trend-Based Fib Extension: $2.4498 → aligning perfectly with the $2.5 support zone as a reversal point
This creates a high-probability long entry zone between $2.665–$2.45, with multiple overlapping technical factors.
🟢 Long Trade Setup
Entry Zone: $2.665–$2.45
Stop-Loss: Below $2.25 for now, to be adjusted once price action confirms a reversal.
Potential Gain: up to +60% depending on execution
Technical Insight
After 50 days of correction, XRP is approaching a major liquidity and confluence zone.
The golden pocket, VWAP, EMA/SMA clusters, market cap support, and 1.0 Fib extension all stack together at around $2.5, making it a powerful reversal point.
Meanwhile, $3 remains the key resistance, reinforced by the POC of the last 75-day range and the anchored VWAP (~$3.035). Bulls must reclaim this level to confirm bullish continuation.
Key Levels to Watch
Support: $2.665–$2.45 (reversal zone)
Resistance: $3.00

XRP - MacD selling divergenceCan you see it?
Don't forget the backtest out of the flag.
I don't think it'll be too big yet, they still want the daily pivot squeeze into Oct for the ETF's.
It also looks like coinbase isn't selling off XRP, big money are moving their XRP off coinbase itself into more secure places. Prepare yourself.

Double Bottom at the Lows—Hope for Bulls or Just Another Trap?
🗞 Nifty Summary
Nifty opened with a 98-point gap-up at 24,825 but showed hesitation, spending the first 45 minutes stuck in the CPR zone within a narrow 60-point band. By 10 AM, the index slipped sharply—breaking both IB Low and BC level, and within minutes also pierced PDL, tumbling nearly 143 points. Support emerged at S1 (24,635), where the fall finally halted.
The index then spent over two hours base-building between PDL and S1, forming a double bottom (Adam–Eve) pattern. Once this base broke out above PDL, the index rallied quickly, meeting its upside target.
Structurally, the session shaped into a triple distribution day:
Early selling phase,
Midday consolidation,
Late recovery rally.
Intraday option traders found strong opportunities with fast 2x expansion off a small IB, but swing traders likely struggled with whipsaws.
Closing nearly flat at 24,741 (+6.7 pts) keeps the directional dilemma alive. Yesterday’s rejection repeated today—but the 125-point recovery off lows and close above PDL gives bulls a glimmer of hope.

💡 Final Thoughts
Today’s Hammer at the lows signals that buyers are quietly absorbing supply. But conviction remains missing—two back-to-back sessions show indecision at higher levels. Until either 24,620 breaks or 24,830 is sustained, expect choppy action favoring intraday trades over positional setups.

TSLA Creeping up from original triangle, but still in a larger tNASDAQ:TSLA continues to take the stairs of worry up to my trading signal target from the original triangle analysis, $386, but the pattern has morphed into what appears to be a barrier triangle now as price struggles at $360 with a series of higher lows.
RSI is comfortable at the EQ with room to grow while price remains above the daily pivot.
Analysis is invalidated below wave (C) $284
Safe trading
RIOT Wave 3 Begun?NASDAQ:RIOT appears to be in wave III with wave II bottoming at the High Volume Node (HVN) support and daily 200EMA.
The first target is the HVN resistance and R3 pivot at $18.67 but if the count is correct we should extend above that. RSI is sitting comfortably with room to grow.
Analysis is invalidated below wave II, $10.50.
Safe trading
IREN Bear Divergence on the Daily, Deeper Pullback Ahead?NASDAQ:IREN appears to be pulling back locally in wave 4, filling the gap, with eyes on testing the daily pivot as support before continuing higher.
Price is significantly away from mean and catching continued momentum but this will fade as more people take profit.
Bearish divergence persists in the daily RSI and has been confirmed with the close below the signal line. If these signals fail it shows the strength of the momentum trend.
Continued upside target is playing the pivots to $40 and initial downside taregt is the previous all time high at $18.50

GBPUSD - 4/9/2025Day trade - Looking at the HTF break of structure. I am looking or a retest of the zone that broke structure.
On the LTF there is a small BoS which left behind an imbalance at the top. I would like to see price sweep the high of the Asian session and drop to the zone that broke structure.
+ve:
1. Zone that broke structure has not been retested and there is imbalance just above it
2. Small BoS on the 5 min to the bearish side
-ve:
1. there is bigger imbalance above this SL and price may rally
2. Price action has been erratic this week in build up to NFP news tomorrow
USDJPY - 4/9/2025Day trade as there was a break of structure to the bullish.
I placed a trade and used the 5min to identify the zone that broke structure.
This is a quick trade and looking for a pull back to enter and target the imbalance and supply zone above.
The sentiment on the Dollar is that there is still some strength to come in before NFP news tomorrow.

CADJPY: Bullish Move After Liquidity Sweep 🇨🇦🇯🇵
It looks like we have a confirmed bear trap after a test
of a key intraday horizonta support on CADJPY.
A formation of a bullish imbalance candle indicates
a strong bullish sentiment now.

Bitcoin New Analysis (4H)It seems that Bitcoin’s correction is not yet complete. After a slight upward retracement, the price is expected to drop again and move toward lower levels.
The bearish structure is still well intact.
For now, it’s better to track Bitcoin step by step while also paying attention to nearby support zones.
The expected path for Bitcoin’s next move has been outlined on the chart.
For risk management, please don't forget stop loss and capital management

Head & Shoulders Pattern Spotted in PayPal Holdings IncHead & Shoulders Pattern Spotted in PayPal Holdings Inc.
A Head & Shoulders (H&S) pattern has been identified in PayPal Holdings Inc. (PYPL), but unlike the traditional bearish reversal setup, this could be an inverse Head & Shoulders, signaling a potential bullish turnaround.
Key Observations:
1. Left Shoulder – A decline followed by a rebound.
2. Head – A deeper low, then a recovery.
3. Right Shoulder – A higher low, suggesting weakening selling pressure.
4. Neckline Break – A decisive close above the resistance (neckline) confirms the bullish reversal.
Price Projections:
- Support at $55 – This level has held strong, acting as a critical demand zone. A bounce from here could fuel the next rally.
- Upside Target at $93 – A successful breakout above the neckline could propel PYPL toward $93, representing a ~40% upside from current levels.
Why This Matters for Traders:
- Bullish Momentum – The pattern suggests that sellers are exhausted, and buyers are stepping in.
- Volume Confirmation – Increasing volume on the breakout would strengthen the bullish case.
- Market Sentiment Shift – If PayPal sustains above key resistance, it could attract institutional interest.
Trading Strategy:
- Stop Loss – Below $55 for risk management.
- Target – $93, with interim resistance near $75 and $85.
Final Thoughts:
While technical patterns are not foolproof, the inverse H&S in PYPL suggests a potential trend reversal. If the breakout holds, $93 could be the next major target, making PayPal an interesting watch for swing traders and investors.
