Gold : Neutral Between 3,640–3,657, Breakout to DecideGold – Overview Gold hit a fresh record high at $3,659 on Tuesday, supported by weak U.S. jobs data and growing bets on Fed rate cuts. Traders now await key U.S. inflation releases – PPI on Wednesday and CPI on Thursday – which could drive the next major move. 📊 If inflation comes in hotter than expected, gold risks a sharp correction. 📊 If inflation is weaker, expectations for a 50 bps Fed rate cut could lift gold further. Technical Outlook: 🔻 While below 3,657, price may correct toward 3,640. A 15M close below 3,640 would extend the decline to 3,629. 🔺 Stability above 3,657 on a 15M close would support further upside toward 3,665 → 3,683. Key Levels: Pivot: 3,657 Support: 3,640 – 3,629 – 3,612 Resistance: 3,665 – 3,683 previous idea:

High-Level Consolidation: A Playground for Both Bulls and BearsToday, I clearly predicted that "cyclical patterns suggest a 600-pips drop in gold." Gold surged to around 3675 before retreating, reaching a low of around 3626, a fluctuation of 490 pips. It was very close to my expectation, so according to my trading model, I won a big victory in long and short trading today! Day Trading Results: 1. First, we shorted gold near 3658 and closed the trade at TP: 3638, for a profit of 200 pips. 2. We shorted gold twice at 3655-3656, closing the positions manually at 3647 and 3645, respectively, for a total profit of 190 pips. 3. We shorted gold in batches near 3667 and 3673, closing the trade at TP: 3650, for a total profit of 400 pips. 4. We longed gold in batches near 3632 and 3628, closing the trade at TP: 3642, for a total profit of 240 pips. Thus, today's total profit on both long and short trades was 1030 pips. I am very satisfied with today's trading model and results. As for my view on the gold market in the future, I believe that the current gold market is still in an environment of interest rate cut expectations, and the macroeconomic background still has a significant supporting effect on gold. The current bullish trend of gold has not changed, and short-term fluctuations will not affect the overall direction. Therefore, before the interest rate cut is implemented (the Federal Reserve announces its interest rate decision on September 17), gold will still maintain an upward structure. Judging from the candlestick chart, as long as gold remains above 3600, gold will remain in a bullish structure and maintain an overall upward trend. Although gold began to retreat after touching around 3675, and the bullish momentum no longer seems strong, I believe that gold has limited room for retreat in the short term. Even if the bulls no longer recover their previous strong momentum, gold is expected to maintain a high-level volatile trend, with the short-term support below at 3630-3620. If it is difficult for gold to fall below this area in the short term, gold may still hit the 3670-3680 area during the rebound. Therefore, in the next short-term trading, if gold first retreats to the 3630-3620 area, we can consider trying to go long on gold, first looking at the 3650-3660 target area；If gold touches the 3670-3680 area again during the rebound, we can still try to short gold again, and the retracement target will first look at the 3655-3645 area.

Americold Realty Trust | COLD | Long at $13.28Americold Realty Trust NYSE:COLD Technical Analysis: The price is currently touching the top of my "crash" historical simple moving average bands (green lines). This area is often reserved for share accumulation and can signal a bottom. The price, however, may extend to the bottom of "crash" bands which is currently near $11.80. These bands don't always signal a bottom - there is a still a "major crash" zone - but with interest rates likely dropping in the next 1-2 months, REIT's are poised to benefit as money flows into dividend-paying stocks ( NYSE:COLD dividend is just over 6%). Earnings and Revenue Growth EPS and revenue growth are expected between 2025 and 2028 (while REITs are rarely high-growth, the future appears relatively good for the company - especially if their debt levels drop) www.tradingview.com Health Debt-to-Equity: 1.29x (not great, but not terrible) Altman's Z-Score/Bankruptcy Risk: .5 (high risk - likely higher than 50% chance the company could go bankrupt in the next 24 months *if* interest rates don't drop, but ....) Market Niche NYSE:COLD operates in a specialized sector with high barriers to entry due to the capital-intensive nature of building and maintaining temperature-controlled facilities. The company is an esential service - critical for food safety and pharmaceutical integrity, providing stable demand even in economic downturns. The company's extensive network ( NASDAQ:KHC , NYSE:CAG , NYSE:WMT , etc) and global footprint (facilities in the US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Europe give it a competitive edge over smaller players. Insiders $2 million in recent insider purchases near $17. openinsider.com Action Due to the high likelihood of interest rate lowering and the market niche NYSE:COLD has as a REIT, I am personally going long at $13.28 and will liekly add more share in the $11 range *if* fundamentals improve. Major warning is bankruptcy risk. Targets in 2028 $15.00 (+12.9%) $18.60 (+40.1%)

Vimeo | VMEO | Long at $3.87Vimeo NASDAQ:VMEO provides a cloud-based platform for video creation, hosting, and sharing - primarily serving businesses, creators, and enterprises for professional video content management. While NASDAQ:VMEO has a **lot** of competition, it is a rather "healthy" company: Debt-free (a rarity out there...) Maintained profitability over the last twelve months, with a healthy gross profit margin of 78% Earnings are forecast to grow 34.76% per year [*}Revenue growth rate through 2027 is projected at 5.36% (modest) Adjusted EBITDA guidance raised to $35 million, up from $25-30 million Upcoming product developments, including AI-powered features and new SKUs, are expected to drive further growth Insider bought over $868,000 in shares in the last year at an average price of $5.04 Subscriber growth is a concern... From a technical analysis perspective, the stock price is currently near the bottom of my historical simple moving average bands. This region is typically an area of consolidation. The two open price gaps below the current price on the daily chart (down to $3.38) will likely get closed in the near-term before a move up. I do believe this is a risky investment, though, given the competition and economic headwinds. I would not be surprised if the market flipped and took this down near or below $1... But, if one is going purely by what the company reports concerning fundamentals and general growth, this is an undervalued stock in the $3 range. Thus, if the insider/company hype is true, NASDAQ:VMEO is in a personal buy zone at $3.87 - with near-term risk of the stock dropping to close the price gaps on the daily chart down to $3.38... or below. Targets into 2028: $5.00 (+29.2%) $6.40 (+65.4%)

AAPL LongOn AAPL (15m), the broader market structure has shifted bearish after multiple CHoCH signals near 239–238 and a decisive Break of Structure (BOS) around 236, which confirms sellers have taken control following the rejection from the recent swing high at 241.02. The rapid downside move into the current session suggests continuation pressure, but a short-term corrective rally remains possible if demand levels hold. The supply zones between 233–239 look strong, as price repeatedly failed to hold above them and sold off sharply each time, showing clear seller dominance. The stacked demand levels below 227 down to 220 are important to watch: buyers previously stepped in with strength here, creating impulsive rallies, but their ability to defend these zones again will determine whether a deeper recovery can take place. Price is now trading at 227.91, extending a sharp leg lower into nearby demand. The marked projection suggests price may attempt a bounce from this area, targeting a corrective move back toward 233–238 supply. If buyers manage to defend current lows and create a bullish reaction, a retracement into those red zones is likely. However, failure to hold above 226.90 would expose lower demand layers toward 224–222. The current trade bias is bearish, but near-term expectation is for a corrective bullish retracement into supply before sellers look to re-engage. The outlook would be invalidated if price breaks and closes decisively above 239, as that would flip structure back in favor of buyers. Momentum currently favors sellers given the sharp downside drive, but any slowing of bearish candles at demand or the appearance of strong bullish engulfing patterns would support a corrective move higher.

Coca-Cola Might Have Lost its PopCoca-Cola has gone nowhere for a year, and some traders may see downside risk. The first pattern on today’s chart is the series of lower highs since April -- despite an uptrend in the broader market at the same time. Does that relative weakness indicate a lack of buying interest? Second, the soft-drink maker ended Friday at $67.96. It was the lowest weekly close since early February. It’s also below its 200-day simple moving average. Those signals may represent a break in support. Third, KO bounced at $69.05 on August 16 but couldn’t get back above that level early this month. That could suggest that old support has become new resistance. Fourth, prices are under the declining 50-day simple moving average. MACD is also falling and the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) is below the 21-day EMA. Those patterns may reflect bearish trends in the intermediate and short terms.

GBPUSDOn GBP/USD (15m), the broader market structure has been bearish, with price making lower highs and lower lows after the sharp selloff from 1.3580–1.3590 supply. A Break of Structure (BOS) at 1.3565 indicates that buyers managed to push through a previous swing high, suggesting short-term strength. However, the overall downtrend is still intact, meaning this may be a corrective rally rather than a full reversal. The supply zone around 1.3580–1.3590 remains strong since price dropped aggressively from it earlier, showing sellers are firmly defending that level. The nearby demand at 1.3530–1.3540 is important because buyers stepped in with conviction there, fueling the current push higher. Deeper demand sits lower near 1.3500, which has historical significance, but price has yet to retest it on this leg. Currently, price is trading at 1.3557 and pressing into a reaction zone just under the marked supply. Price behavior suggests a likely rejection from here, with the arrowed path pointing toward a retracement back into demand at 1.3530–1.3540. If that demand holds, we could see another bounce attempt toward 1.3580; if it fails, downside continuation toward 1.3500 becomes probable. The trade bias is bearish, expecting sellers to reclaim control at or near this supply zone. The outlook would be invalidated if price closes decisively above 1.3590, as that would signal stronger bullish intent. Momentum has shifted short term toward buyers, shown by strong impulsive candles, but sellers remain favored overall unless supply is broken.

The Golden Run Continues: XAUUSD Eyes $3800? The Golden Run Continues: XAUUSD Eyes $3800? Prior Bullish Momentum & Consolidation : XAUUSD entered a period of consolidation following a robust bullish rally earlier in the year. This initial surge established a strong underlying demand. Symmetrical Triangle Formation : This consolidation phase manifested as a well-defined symmetrical triangle pattern on the 4-hour chart. This pattern typically represents a period of indecision, or accumulation/distribution, before a continuation of the prior trend. Decisive Bullish Breakout: Gold has now executed a powerful and decisive upward breakout from the upper trendline of this symmetrical triangle. This action confirms the prevailing bullish sentiment and signals the likely resumption of the uptrend. Key Support Level Established: The former upper trendline of the triangle, now residing around the $3500 mark, has effectively transformed into a critical immediate support level. A successful retest and hold of this level would further validate the breakout. Strong Upward Trajectory: Post-breakout, the price action has been emphatically bullish, currently exhibiting a steep ascent within the marked green channel, indicating significant buying pressure. Primary Price Target at Based on the measured move principle, often applied to symmetrical triangle breakouts (projecting the height of the pattern from the breakout point), our primary upside target for XAUUSD is 3800. This implies significant rally potential from current levels.

Gold Futures – Short Setup to Lock in Profits🟠 Gold Futures – Short Setup to Lock in Profits Gold has had a strong breakout above the symmetrical triangle and has now pushed into an extended move near $3,700+. While the trend remains bullish on the higher timeframe, the current leg looks overextended, and I’m looking to hedge profits with a short setup. 🔑 Key Technicals Pattern Breakout: Gold broke out of a long consolidation wedge and accelerated higher. Resistance Zone: Price is testing the Fib 1.618 extension near $3,750, a potential exhaustion area. Volume Profile: Strong demand zone sits between $3,300 – $3,360 where most volume is concentrated. A pullback could retest this area. Risk-Reward: Setup gives ~1:3.4 RR with stop above recent highs and target into the HVN zone. 📉 Trade Idea – Protective Short Entry: 3750 Stop Loss: 3800 (extension level). Take Profit: $3580 ⚖️ Strategy This is not a reversal call – the larger trend is still bullish. The short setup is hedge/profit-protection only, aiming to capture a pullback after the parabolic leg. I’ll be watching if buyers can defend $3,600 on the first dip; failure to hold could accelerate selling toward the high-volume zone. 📊 Bias Short-term: Bearish (pullback expected) Mid-term: Neutral to Bullish (trend intact above $3,300) What do you think – do we see a healthy correction here, or is gold too strong to fade yet?
