LI Back at Support as Historical Cycles Come Into PlayLi Auto is one of those names where price action alone doesn’t tell the full story—you need to overlay seasonality to really understand what’s going on.
Looking at the broader structure, LI has been trading in a well-defined range for quite some time. The chart clearly shows repeated reactions between a lower demand zone (around current levels) and an upper supply zone near the 30–40 area. Right now, price is once again sitting near that lower boundary, which already makes it technically interesting.
But the real edge here comes from the seasonality data—and it’s honestly brutal (in a good way).
Historically, Li Auto tends to show:
Strong rebounds after weak starts to the year
Noticeable upside periods following consolidation at lows
Explosive months scattered throughout the calendar (especially after drawdowns)
You can clearly see that certain months consistently outperform, while others tend to be weak. This kind of repeatable behavior is exactly what traders look for—it adds a probabilistic layer on top of the technical setup.
So what’s the idea here?
We’re combining two things:
Strong support zone (price has reacted here multiple times)
Seasonal tendency for upside after periods of weakness
That creates a solid case for a potential bounce.
The drawn scenario on your chart reflects a classic range play:
Accumulation at support
Gradual push higher
Move back toward the mid-range / resistance zone (~30 area)
If momentum builds and the sector (EV / China tech) starts catching bids, this move can accelerate quickly.
Why this setup stands out:
Clean range structure → easy to define risk
Multiple historical bounces from this zone
Seasonality aligns with potential upside
Sentiment has been weak → room for reversal
Of course, like any range trade, this only works as long as support holds. A breakdown below this zone would invalidate the idea and likely open the door for further downside.
But as it stands, this is one of those setups where:
You’re not chasing strength—you’re positioning at a level where reactions have historically happened.
Bottom line:
LI is sitting at a key level, and when you combine that with its strong seasonal tendencies, it becomes a high-interest setup for a potential long—especially if price starts confirming with higher lows and momentum.

Corn Sep/Dec Spread AnalysisMost traders watch the Corn outright chart.
I prefer to look at Intramarket spreads between delivery months.
Current Sep/Dec Corn spread: ~-14'2
→ Clear contango/carry structure
→ December priced stronger than September
Why spreads matter:
1. **Seasonal Context**: Pre-harvest pressure typical for August
2. **Old Crop**: Stocks-to-use % → relatively tight
3. **New Crop**: Planting 95% complete, weather OK
The spread itself tells more about market structure, carry, and seasonal transitions than the flat price alone.
VOLTAS BREAKOUTWe can go long in voltas or look for buy on dips in Voltas as it is also giving a breakout of it 52 week highs and also an important resistance of 1500.
Target- 1600, 1700, 1750
SL 1420
Take a look at the chart image and you will understand how it took support of a trendline and started this rally. Summer is also coming up, hence a seasonality factor also kicks in for VOLTAS,HAVELLS and BLUESTAR, Keep a watch on this sector.

Santa Claus Rally — Does It Still Work?The Santa Claus Rally is a well-known seasonal effect.
Looking at the last 25 years, the S&P 500 shows an average gain of ~0.54% over the 5 business days starting on December 29.
However, the effect weakens significantly in recent periods:
Last 10 years: ~0.27%, already close to the average weekly P&L of the S&P 500
Last 5 years: ~-0.22%
This suggests the Santa Rally has deteriorated over time. What used to be a strong seasonal tendency now appears less reliable, especially in modern market regimes.
Seasonality provides useful historical context, but it should not be used as a standalone trading signal.
GOLD: With FED officially ending the QT, Further Upside.For TVC:GOLD – Expecting Further Upside
With the FED officially ending Quantitative Tightening (QT) and a high probability of a rate cut in December, combined with expectations of a new FED Chair, the macro environment is supporting GOLD.
Add to this the historical seasonality where gold tends to perform strongly into year-end, and the overall picture remains bullish.
🔹 Lower interest rates = weaker USD and stronger gold
🔹 End of QT = more liquidity flowing back into markets
🔹 Geopolitical uncertainty + risk hedging continues to support safe-haven assets
🔹 Bond yields showing signs of topping, reducing pressure on gold
Based on these factors, we expect GOLD to push up and potentially make new highs.

July Seasonality Patterns For Index, Metals and ForexSeasonality can be a useful tool if used wisely (and in context) with current sentiment and news flows. Seasonality really is a backwards looking indicator that can easily be overpowered by key macro drivers. But its strength comes in to play when seasonality aligns with the macro landscape.
With that in mind, I share my seasonality matrix for indices, metals and USD FX pairs to highlight potential patterns for July, then wrap up with an update on my Nasdaq 100 analysis.

Here's Why I'm Bullish on TSLA: Smart Money is Buying...Here's Why I'm Bullish on NASDAQ:TSLA Multi-Timeframe Analysis Using Larry Williams' Methods
After a significant downtrend, NASDAQ:TSLA is presenting multiple bullish signals based on Larry Williams' methodology. The weekly and daily timeframes are aligning for a potential reversal opportunity with clearly defined risk parameters.
Weekly Timeframe Analysis
The weekly chart reveals several key bullish indicators:
- The COT Proxy Index shows commercials are buying at significantly higher levels compared to 6 months ago, 1 year ago, and 3 years ago.
- Seasonality patterns have reached a turning point, now indicating the beginning of an uptrend phase
- The WillVal indicator shows NASDAQ:TSLA is currently undervalued at multiple securities (DXY, QCCH, ZBLU all showing "Under")
- ADX reading above 60 (currently at 62.42) signals the existing downtrend is likely exhausting and nearing completion
Daily Timeframe Analysis
On the daily chart, we're seeing initial confirmation signals but still waiting for the optimal entry setup:
- The general market has created a Rally Day, and we're now watching for a Follow Through Day to confirm the new uptrend
- Price structure requires further confirmation through a change of character before entry
- The ProGo indicator has already turned positive, providing an early bullish signal
- Williams %R is showing oversold conditions, suggesting a potential bounce
- We need the Large Traders index to turn its slope upward for additional confirmation
Entry Strategy
I'm looking for one of these entry triggers:
- Primary : First pullback after change of character , using Williams %R for precise timing
- Alternative : Entry on first pullback after price moves above the WillTrend line
- Aggressive option : Entry if price breaks above the $245 resistance level
Profit Targets & Risk Management
Targets:
- First target: $327 (1.27 Fibonacci level)
- Second target: $390 (Larry Williams Target Shooter -> 2.00 Fibonacci level )
Risk Management:
- Initial stop loss: $228 or 120% of ATR(3) from entry point
- Once in profit, trailing stop based on price closes at WillTrend levels
The confluence of indicators across timeframes suggests a significant reversal potential in NASDAQ:TSLA , but waiting for daily chart confirmation will provide a higher probability setup with clearly defined risk parameters.

USDJPY Buy Setup – Breakout Confirmation & Seasonal TailwindTechnical: USDJPY has broken above a downtrend resistance line after finding support at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at 146.95 . This breakout suggests the corrective phase may have ended, signaling potential for further upside. Pullbacks toward 149.70 (a retest of the broken trendline) present an attractive entry opportunity. Upside targets are 152.74 and 157.10 in the short to medium term. The setup is invalidated below 147.97 , with a break below 146.33 negating further bullish expectations.
Fundamental: Commercial selling of the Japanese Yen and renewed dollar purchases indicate a shift favoring USD over JPY, supporting the bullish technical outlook.
Seasonal: Over the past 25 years , USDJPY has risen 76% of the time between March 25 – April 8 , with an average gain of 1.04% .
Trade Idea:
Entry: On pullbacks toward 149.70
Stop Loss: 147.97 (or 146.33 for extended risk management)
Targets: 152.74 and 157.10

USDCAD Short Setup – Potential Top Formation & Seasonal WeaknessTechnical: USDCAD has stalled in recent weeks, signaling a potential topping pattern. A recent break of the short-term trend suggests a deeper correction may follow. Key resistance is at 1.4355 , offering a favourable risk-reward short opportunity.
Fundamental: The U.S. dollar remains weak, with commercial participants showing little interest in buying. Meanwhile, the Canadian dollar is seeing increased accumulation, indicating a potential shift in momentum.
Seasonal: Historically, from March 24 – April 30 , USDCAD has declined 76.2% of the time over the past 21 years, with an average drop of 1.30%.
Trade Idea:
Sell: 1.4355
Stop Loss: 1.4551
Target: 1.3948

Dow Jones: A Make-or-Break Buy Setup with Smart Money BackingDow Jones Industrial Average - Buy Setup
Technical: U.S. markets have struggled recently due to uncertainty over tariffs imposed by President Trump. While the S&P 500 and NASDAQ have broken key support levels, the Dow remains resilient, holding the critical 41,648 support. A break below would confirm a large double-top pattern, signaling a bearish outlook. This is a pivotal moment. The rebound from overnight lows is encouraging, but with the U.S. CPI release tomorrow, caution is warranted. While speculative, COT and seasonal data favour a short-term move higher.
Fundamental: The latest Commitment of Traders (COT) Report shows increasing long interest in the Dow, suggesting "smart money" accumulation.
Seasonal: Historically, from March 12 – May 2, the Dow has posted gains 84% of the time, averaging +3.68% over the past 25 years.
Setup:
Entry: 41,800 – 42,000
Stop Loss: 41,285 (below the Nov 2024 low at 41,648)
Target: 44,290

MMSI / Merit Buy IdeaBroke trendline, then went up. yesterday retested Breaking-Candle#s high. Not on the way to new high.
The idea is to trade with the seasonality and expect a substancial kick to the bullish side after breaking the high.
I guess there is more than 10% possible profit until first haft of May.
But trade at your own risk and discretion....

Gold and Silver Are Gearing Up For Higher PricesKicking off my 2025 posts with a positive outlook on Silver and Gold prices! 😊
Over the past three months, I’ve highlighted the "Nice areas" that have held prices well for both gold and silver. Hopefully, you’ve found those levels useful so far.
So, what’s next? 🤷🏻
In this post, I’ll focus more on technical analysis.
If gold closes above $2,740 this week, I’d expect its movement to follow the orange line I’ve drawn on the chart. My target is $2,850 to $2,900, which I hope to see reached within the next three months. However, I’d also like to see a brief revisit to the area below $2,700 before that move.
For silver, I’m looking for a strong close above $32.30. Only if that happens, I’d view any corrections as a great opportunity to add to my position, targeting $36. Ideally, I’d love to see this happen by the first week of March.
Note: Never try to time the market. The timeframes I mention are based on the seasonality patterns of Gold and Silver and don’t hold significant weight in my analysis.
