Weekly overview: XAUUSD, #SP500, #BRENT | 15 May 2026XAUUSD: SELL 4678.00, SL 4718.00, TP 4558.00 Gold starts the week under pressure: spot XAU/USD is trading around $4,675–4,685 per ounce after declining amid a stronger dollar. The rise in oil prices has increased the risk of renewed inflation, weakening expectations of an early Fed rate cut and making demand for non-yielding assets more cautious. Additional uncertainty comes from the US April Consumer Price Index, due on May 12. Geopolitical demand remains a supportive factor, but over the weekly horizon, the reassessment of interest rate expectations and the dollar looks more influential. The base scenario is a moderate decline with high sensitivity to inflation data. Trading recommendation: SELL 4678.00, SL 4718.00, TP 4558.00 #SP500: BUY 7399, SL 7339, TP 7579 The S&P 500 enters the week after closing near record levels: the index finished May 8 around 7,399 points. The market is supported by strong corporate earnings, especially in sectors linked to artificial intelligence, as well as the continued resilience of the US economy. The key risk this week is US April inflation and rising oil prices due to tensions around Iran. Higher fuel prices may put pressure on consumers and rate expectations, but investors are still focused on corporate profits and technology-related capital spending. This keeps the overall backdrop moderately positive. Trading recommendation: BUY 7399, SL 7339, TP 7579 #BRENT: BUY 105.70, SL 102.20, TP 116.20 Brent starts the week near $105.70 per barrel after another price surge. The main driver is the failure of peace signals between the US and Iran and concerns over possible supply disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz. The market is quickly pricing in a risk premium, as this route is crucial for global oil trade. The weekly balance remains in favor of buyers: Barclays has already raised its Brent forecast for 2026, while the US Energy Information Administration expects prices to peak in the second quarter. The main limit to further growth is the risk of weaker demand amid expensive fuel, but for now, supply-related news remains more important. Trading recommendation: BUY 105.70, SL 102.20, TP 116.20

S&P 500: Institutional Absorption & The Liquidity InflectionA) The Liquidity Regime (Tier 1 & 2) The technical breakout on the S&P 500 (SPX) is currently being underwritten by a structural shift in U.S. liquidity conditions: • TGA & Net Liquidity: As of May 9, 2026, the Treasury General Account (TGA) has stabilized near $860.29B. Any drawdown from this level acts as a direct injection of liquidity into the banking system, fueling continued demand for equities. • DXY Pressure: The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) is currently below the 98.00 level. A weaker dollar reduces discount-rate pressure on risk assets, acting as a hidden tailwind for equity expansion. • VIX Context: With the VIX near 17.19, systemic fear remains low. This supports a risk-on environment where trend-following dominates over defensive positioning. --- B) Volume Footprint & Absorption (Execution Edge) We observe clear institutional behavior through volume structure: • Strong Support / Value Area Low (VAL): The lower volume node acted as the first line of defense. Price reaction here shows passive buyers absorbing aggressive sell-side flow. • S/R Flip Zone ("Last Battle"): The $7,355 region represents a key structural pivot. Sellers attempted to reclaim control but were fully absorbed by aggressive institutional buying. Once this level was defended, it flipped into strong structural support. • No Retracement Momentum Zone: Price is holding above the breakout zone without meaningful pullback. This indicates seller exhaustion and continued demand dominance. --- C) Trade Setup & Risk Management • Entry Strategy: Monitor the $7,380 zone for continued absorption. The ideal signal is small aggressive selling that fails to move price lower (the "sponge effect"). • Target: Liquidity highs above $7,410. • Invalidation: A 1H close below $7,350 invalidates the bullish structure and suggests a short-term shift in liquidity conditions. --- Macro-Technical Correlation Summary • DXY (97.90): Bullish for equities (liquidity expansion) • VIX (17.19): Risk-on environment supports trend continuation • TGA (~$860B): Neutral-to-positive, watch for drawdowns (liquidity injection potential) • Footprint Delta: Positive, confirming institutional accumulation --- Easy-to-Understand Relation: The "Wall of Money" Think of global liquidity as a rising tide. When the DXY falls, the tide rises and lifts all risk assets. The blue zones on the chart act like anchors, institutional buyers positioned at $7,350–$7,380. As long as these anchors hold, the path of least resistance remains upward, because every dip is absorbed rather than allowed to develop into a reversal.

Weekly Outlook: XAUUSD, #SP500, #BRENT | 1 May 2026XAUUSD: BUY 4710.00, SL 4680.00, TP 4800.00 Gold starts the week near $4,710 per ounce after recovering from an intraday decline. Demand is supported by a weaker dollar, uncertainty around US-Iran negotiations, and expectations ahead of the Fed decision. Rising oil prices are increasing inflation risks, so the market will closely assess the regulator’s comments. On the weekly horizon, the balance remains in favor of buyers: interest in safe-haven assets persists, while investors are waiting for signals on US interest rates. Pressure may arise if the dollar strengthens sharply, but the geopolitical backdrop and caution ahead of the Fed meeting continue to support XAU/USD. Trading recommendation: BUY 4710.00, SL 4680.00, TP 4800.00 #SP500: BUY 7200, SL 7140, TP 7380 #SP500 enters the week near 7,200 points in futures after reaching new highs last week. Sentiment is supported by strong earnings expectations for major technology companies, especially those related to artificial intelligence. Another supporting factor is the expectation that the Fed will keep interest rates unchanged. The main risk for the index is expensive oil: it may increase inflation and worsen forecasts for corporate and consumer spending. Nevertheless, earnings reports from Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Apple may preserve demand for stocks if the companies confirm steady revenue growth and investment activity. Trading recommendation: BUY 7200, SL 7140, TP 7380 #BRENT: BUY 107.50, SL 104.50, TP 116.50 Brent starts the week near $107.50 per barrel, holding close to its highs since early April. The main reason for the rise is the delay in US-Iran negotiations and restrictions on supplies through the Strait of Hormuz. The market fears export disruptions, so the risk premium remains high. On the weekly horizon, oil demand is supported by revised forecasts from major banks and concerns over inventories. Pressure may appear if dialogue resumes or if there are signals of higher supply, but for now, Middle East news keeps the advantage on the buyers’ side. Trading recommendation: BUY 107.50, SL 104.50, TP 116.50

XAUUSD Liquidity Sweep, Sell the Rejection. XAUUSD — Structure Breakdown & Short Bias 📉 Gold is currently respecting a rising channel, but momentum is weakening after multiple rejections from the upper trendline (clear distribution at highs). Key Observations: 🔴 Repeated rejection from channel resistance → sellers stepping in 🟨 Price reacting at a mid-range supply zone (minor resistance) 📉 Lower highs forming → early shift in structure 🔵 Trendline support below acting as magnet Trade Idea (Short Bias): Entry: Retest / rejection from highlighted supply zone TP1: Mid-channel liquidity (~4,700) TP2: Range support (~4,600) TP3: Channel base (~4,500) SL: Above recent swing high / supply zone (0.5% - 2% risk per trade) Narrative: This looks like a mean reversion move inside the channel. Unless we break and hold above the supply zone, probability favors a move back into value lower in the structure. Risk Factors: Break and close above supply = invalidation News / macro volatility (Gold sensitive to USD + yields) Summary: Short-term distribution → targeting liquidity below within channel structure.

#SP500, #NQ100, #DJI30: Why aren’t they falling?U.S. stock indices remain near record highs: #SP500, #NQ100, and #DJI30 are all holding close to their peaks. The rally is supported by several factors at once: strong corporate earnings, stable profit expectations, and strong demand for major companies, as well as the belief that geopolitical tensions will not quickly worsen the U.S. economic outlook. At the same time, each index has its own driver: #SP500 is supported by broad-based earnings growth across sectors, #NQ100 by sustained interest in tech companies and the artificial intelligence theme, and #DJI30 by strength in banking, industrials, and energy. Key factors supporting the market: Strong corporate earnings support the market and reduce fears of external risks. Profit expectations for 2026 remain positive, sustaining interest in equities. The tech sector continues to grow, driven by demand for artificial intelligence and digital infrastructure. Banks, industrials, and energy add resilience to the market and support broad index growth. Investors expect more stable financial conditions, which maintains demand for U.S. equities. Analysts at FreshForex believe that U.S. indices are holding near their highs not because they ignore geopolitics, but because the market currently sees profits, the AI cycle, banking stability, and capital inflows as stronger forces than current news-driven risks. As long as this logic holds, #SP500, #NQ100, and #DJI30 may remain elevated even in a tense external environment. What matters most for the market right now is not the headlines about conflicts themselves, but whether they begin to materially affect corporate earnings and expectations for the U.S. economy.

War Snoozes, but is 'Sell the News' Loading?War might snooze for World Cup mode but how about the bill? And what about inflation? Markets are pushing higher on easing geopolitical tensions… But don’t get it twisted: 👉 The war may be cooling off 👉 But the consequences are just beginning Inflation, energy, and liquidity — the bill is coming . S&P 500 – The Trap Zone Price is approaching a critical resistance: 👉 7,377 — major rejection level Current price around: 👉 ~7,055 We are extended, and momentum is driven by headline relief , not resolution. The Expected Play This is classic behavior: Push above resistance (trigger breakout traders) Liquidity grab (pull in late longs) Rejection below the level 👉 That’s where the opportunity shifts. Short Plan Trigger: Below 7,032 Stop Loss: ~7,100 Target 1: 6,074 Target 2: 5,464 Clean levels. No guessing. Macro Narrative War goes into “snooze mode”… Because optics matter. 👉 Peace is needed for stability 👉 Stability is needed for the show With the World Cup ahead, the focus shifts to image, not tension . But markets? 👉 Markets don’t trade optics. 👉 Markets price consequences . Key Idea This rally is built on: ✔️ Relief ✔️ Hope ✔️ Headlines Not on: ❌ Resolution ❌ Economic reset ❌ Inflation control 👉 That’s why the sell the news phase is likely next. Mindset Check 🧘 The crowd buys comfort. The professional waits for confirmation. I don't short the top, nor the ATHs: i short after the fomo wick and IF i get a confirmation. That would be after the price goes over 7100 and lands back below 7090 with a calculated stop loss! The best trades don’t feel good — they feel calculated. Nothing I post is financial advice. It's perspective. I’ve mastered the art of prognosis, but you are the one behind the trigger. Always know your levels, and respect your risk. One Love, The FXPROFESSOR 💙

S&P500 at record highs on ceasefire hopes: Peak or push to 7150?The S&P 500 has officially broken the massive 7,000 psychological barrier, printing fresh all-time highs above 7,020. Fuelled by fading geopolitical risks and a major shift in Fed rate expectations, the index is now in pure price discovery mode. We break down the inverse head and shoulders launchpad and map out two distinct Elliott wave setups for the days ahead. Key topics covered - Macro green light: Geopolitical risks are fading fast with Israel-Lebanon ceasefire talks and a potential Iran-Oman shipping deal. Plunging oil prices have crushed inflation fears, leading markets to price in unchanged Fed rates for the rest of the year. - Earnings warning : Thursday brings a massive wave of corporate earnings (Netflix, PepsiCo, Charles Schwab) alongside US jobless claims and industrial production. Expect extreme volatility around these current highs. - Inverse head launchpad: This historic rally didn't come out of nowhere. We track the massive inverse head and shoulders pattern (with the absolute head at 6,030) that broke out above 6,850 and never looked back. S&P 500 scenarios & trade plan -Bullish (Wave 5 push) : If the 7,020 breakout level flips to firm support, this final fifth wave still has juice. Targets: Watch for an initial spike to the 61.8% Fib extension at 7,065 - 7,070, with longer-term major targets at 7,150 and 7,270. Support: A shallow, healthy pullback should find buyers at the 38.2% Fib at 6,940. -Bearish (Extended Wave 3 & deep reset) : If the current high is actually an extended Wave 3 hitting the 161.8% Fib resistance (7,030 - 7,050), expect a faster, sharper rejection. Setup : A failure to hold 7,000 triggers a deeper Wave 4 correction. Targets: Look for a flush down to the strong base between 6,845 and 6,900 before the market attempts a final push toward 7,150. Watch the 7,020 pivot like a hawk today. Are you buying the breakout to 7,070 or waiting for a deep reset at 6,940? Share your thoughts in the comments.

So the second position, which entered at P(c) is closed on Phase 3, but the First one is open yet. Will the next phase be Phase 4? We are navigating the market to see what happens next. Phase: 4 Current Date & Time: 2026-04-15 22:35 EST After entering at level M, the price dropped to $6,729, which triggered the opening of the second position at P(c). The price then began to rise and reached level N. The profit from closing half of the positions—amounting to $843—was stored in the Safety Buffer, the Structural Risk Boundary was set at $6,339, and Phase 3 was completed. Two days later, Phase 2 was also completed after Phase 3. However, the price moved out of the trapezoidal time window and fluctuated three times between P(c) and T1. As a result, a total of $1,819 was accumulated in the Safety Buffer, and the Structural Risk Boundary was adjusted to $6,263. The price then declined to $6,312 before resuming its upward movement. It reached level T1 at $6,847 two more times, and with each instance of closing half of the positions, the total amount stored in the Safety Buffer increased to $2,469, while the Structural Risk Boundary was adjusted to $6,212. The upward trend continued, and upon reaching level N, another half of the positions were closed. This brought the Safety Buffer to $2,891 and adjusted the Boundary to $6,180. Finally, as the price reached the top of the trapezoid at $7,015, all remaining positions were closed. After releasing the Safety Buffer, the total profit amounted to $3,591. Realized Return (%): 100*(3,591/100,000) = 3.59% The lowest price along this path was $6,312, which led to the storage of the maximum field for the continuation of the path. Furthermore, the maximum capital drawdown is calculated as follows: (6,312$-6,796.19$) *10*1.28 + 1819 = -4,366$ Max Drawdown (%): 100*(-4,366/100,000) =-4.36% Trapezoid Time Duration: 18 Days Realized Time Duration: 69 Days

Weekly Outlook: XAUUSD, #SP500, #BRENT | 17 April 2026XAUUSD: SELL 4716.70, SL 4748.00, TP 4621.00 Gold starts the week near $4,716 per ounce after declining amid a stronger US dollar and worsening expectations for a Fed rate cut. The sharp rise in oil above $100 has intensified concerns about a new wave of inflation, which reduces the chances of rapid monetary easing in the US and increases pressure on XAUUSD. The metal is still supported by tensions in the Middle East and steady demand from central banks, including China. However, the key drivers for the coming days remain the dollar, inflation signals, and comments from Fed officials, so for this week a scenario of moderate downside with elevated volatility appears more likely for gold. Trading recommendation: SELL 4716.70, SL 4748.00, TP 4621.00 #SP500: SELL 6805, SL 6870, TP 6610 The S&P 500 index finished Friday at 6,816.89 points, but futures slipped to 6,805 at the start of the new week. The main reason is another jump in oil prices and rising tensions around Iran. Higher energy prices are once again increasing inflation risks and making the market more cautious about the prospects for US rate cuts. This week, the focus shifts to earnings reports from major banks and technology companies. Profit expectations remain generally strong, but any deterioration in guidance on demand, costs, and margins could quickly bring sellers back into the market. For now, the external backdrop remains restrictive, which means short-term pressure on #SP500 looks more likely. Trading recommendation: SELL 6805, SL 6870, TP 6610 #BRENT: BUY 102.23, SL 99.00, TP 111.92 Brent crude starts the week near $102.23 per barrel after a sharp rally caused by the collapse of US-Iran talks and the announcement of a blockade on Iranian ports. The market is once again pricing in the risk of supply disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz, which handles a significant share of global oil trade, so buying interest remains strong at the start of the week. Additional support comes from expectations of tighter supply and a possible shift in the market balance toward deficit. OPEC’s monthly report is due today, while the IEA will publish its oil market report on Tuesday, so supply expectations will remain the central theme for the market. For the current week, the fundamental backdrop for Brent remains supportive of further gains. Trading recommendation: BUY 102.23, SL 99.00, TP 111.92
