HOW-TO: Ranger in TradingViewChart patterns and ranges are essential in technical analysis, helping traders identify potential support/resistance zones, volatility expansions, and reversal points. However, manually detecting daily or weekly ranges can be time-consuming and subjective. In this post, we describe how to effectively use the Automatic Range Detection feature inside the ZenAlgo - Ranger indicator, which calculates VWAP-based ranges and standard deviation lines automatically to save time and improve accuracy. Using the Range Detection Feature Add the Indicator : Access the ZenAlgo - Ranger and add it to your chart. It works on any timeframe up to 4H for optimal performance. Key Settings : Show Today's VWAP Range : Enabled by default. This displays the current day's range based on VWAP ±2.0 standard deviations (core range). Show Previous Day's Range : Toggle to view historical daily ranges (up to 70 days back). Show Monday Range : Activates weekly-like ranges derived from Monday's data (shiftable forward for projection). Standard Deviation Lines : Customize visibility for ±3.0 to ±10.0 (and halves like ±0.5, ±1.5). Highlighted lines (e.g., ±5.0, ±10.0) use solid styles for emphasis. Monday Range StdDev Lines : Extended up to ±40.0 for advanced volatility analysis. Box Transparency : Adjust for visual clarity (0-100%). Tip : Start with defaults – today's range in teal, previous in gray, Monday in yellow/blue – and tweak based on your asset's volatility. The indicator uses a locked 1-min VWAP calculation for precision, incorporating buy/sell volume delta from 4H data to color ranges dynamically. Range Detection Overview ZenAlgo - Ranger detects and plots: Daily Ranges : VWAP-centered core (±2.0 std) with extensions via std dev lines. Supports up to 50 previous days. Monday (Weekly Projection) Ranges : Special ranges from Tuesday's data (representing Monday's VWAP), extendable up to 30 weeks. Includes core levels (25%, 50%, 75%) and extreme std devs (±40.0). Half StdDev Lines : For finer granularity (e.g., ±2.5, ±3.5). Volume Delta : Integrated buy/sell volume calculation for each range, helping identify bullish/bearish bias. Return Labels : Automatically labels entries back into the range (e.g., "dS" for daily short return above RH). Detection relies on VWAP and std dev thresholds – higher std lines indicate potential overextensions. Examples Here are some practical examples on BTCUSD (see chart snapshots below): Daily Range in Action : The red box shows today's VWAP range (±2.0 std). Notice how price bounces off the midrange (MID) acting as resistance. Previous Ranges for Context : Gray boxes overlay past days. In a trending market, price often respects these as dynamic S/R – e.g., breaking below a previous RL signals strength. Monday Range Projection : Yellow core with blue borders. Shift forward to project weekly volatility. The 50% midline often acts as equilibrium. StdDev Extensions : ±5.0 (solid) and ±10.0 lines for extreme targets. Useful in high-vol assets like crypto. Tips Validate ranges with volume delta for bias confirmation. Use on intraday charts; combine with other indicators for entries. For volatile markets, enable higher STDs on Monday ranges.

XAUUSD UPDATEhi everyone For this upward movement, the first resistance is at the 3494 level. A breakout at this level would also coincide with a breakout of the trendline. If both the trendline and resistance are broken, the price is likely to move toward the next resistance at 4984. The target price could reach the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level. I’m also interested in entering a long position around the 3862 area. However, if the support at 3884 breaks, I will reconsider the setup good luck all **My trading strategy is not intended to be a signal. It's a process of learning about market structure and sharpening my trading my skills also for my trade journal** Thanks a lot for your support

USOIL: Buy setups during higher-timeframe correctionOIL PRICE WEEKLY OUTLOOK (Week of Oct 20-24, 2025) Key Drivers & Risks Updates in Supply, Demand, and Geopolitical News EIA (week ending Oct 10): Crude inventories +3.5 million bbl; distillates −4.5 million bbl. IEA OMR (Oct 2025): Upgraded global supply forecast: +3.0 mb/d in 2025 and +2.4 mb/d in 2026, while demand grows only ~0.7 mb/d per year ⇒ signaling a large surplus risk and downward pressure on prices. OPEC (Oct 2025): Maintains demand growth outlook of +1.3 mb/d for 2025, but acknowledges a smaller deficit in 2026 as OPEC+ output rises; September production increased by ~630 kb/d. Maritime risk in the Red Sea / Gulf of Aden: Over the weekend, a gas carrier reportedly caught fire following a possible attack off Yemen’s coast, leading to higher shipping risk premiums, though no major disruption to trade flows has been reported yet. Watchlist for the Week Ahead EIA Weekly Report (Oct 22): Focus on crude and distillate inventories, and any signs of policy or flow adjustments. Maritime security updates in the Red Sea / Gulf of Aden / Strait of Hormuz — monitor frequency and severity of incidents. China data: imports, refinery runs, and inventories — potential signals of stockpiling at lower price levels. Any notable demand-side surprises (if any emerge). Overall View Oil prices are expected to gradually decline within a relatively narrow range of $70–$50 through mid-2026. Short-term rebounds may occur due to low price levels and heightened transport risk headlines. China’s potential restocking activity could provide limited demand-side support. * Trend: assessed using at least three trend indicators, with market structure as the primary guide. ** Weak or Reversal Signals: Assessed based on one of our criteria for trend reversal signals. *** Support/Resistance: Selected from multiple factors – static (Swing High, Swing Low, etc.), dynamic (EMA, MA, etc.), psychological (Fibonacci, RSI, etc.) – and determined based on the trader’s discretion. **** Our advice takes into account all factors, including both fundamental and technical analysis.

ETHUSDT 1H - Key Liquidity Zones & Bullish Reversal Potential ETHUSDT 1H Analysis: Price is reacting from a critical support zone between the Fib 0.5 - 0.618 retracement and previous day low, both marked as high-liquidity areas. If current support holds, expect a potential bounce targeting the previous day’s high ($4,530.80), with further upside toward the buy side liquidity at $4,748.04. Watch for confirmation in the highlighted demand zone for low-risk long setups. A break below $4,143.60 would invalidate this scenario and shift focus to lower sell side liquidity.” This chart setup is useful for traders seeking possible long opportunities, with clearly defined risk and upside targets.

USD/JPY - BULLISH REVERSAL IN PLAYThe recent price action on the USD/JPY 30-minute chart confirms a Change of Character (CHOCH), marking a significant shift in market structure from a bearish trend to a potential bullish reversal. This CHOCH is a critical technical signal indicating that the previous downtrend has lost momentum and that buyers are beginning to take control of the market. Leading up to the CHOCH, the market had been consistently forming lower highs and lower lows, respecting a well-defined trendline resistance. This downtrend was also characterized by multiple Breaks of Structure (BOS) to the downside, reinforcing the bearish sentiment. However, as price approached a strong support zone, it began to consolidate, suggesting a buildup of buying interest. Eventually, price broke above the most recent lower high, completing a clear CHOCH — the first structural sign that the bearish trend had been invalidated. This CHOCH is further validated by the break of the descending trendline, a strong bullish impulse candle, and a reaction from the support zone, all of which add confluence to the idea of a trend reversal. Additionally, the breakout occurred with noticeable momentum (as implied by the volume indicator icon on the chart), further reinforcing the likelihood of continued upside movement. With the CHOCH confirmed and the previous bearish structure broken, the market is now positioned to seek liquidity and inefficiencies above, specifically targeting the next key resistance zone located around 149.600 to 149.900. This area represents a prior supply zone and contains a “weak high,” which often acts as a price magnet during bullish reversals, as the market seeks to test or sweep liquidity from those levels. In conclusion, the CHOCH marks a decisive shift in direction, and the market structure now supports a bullish move. As long as price holds above the recent low and continues to print higher highs and higher lows, the next likely destination is the resistance zone, where traders should watch for either profit-taking opportunities or signs of further continuation.

Support and Resistance in Crypto: Why They Work1. Introduction Every trader has heard of support and resistance. They are the most common levels drawn on charts, and for good reason: markets consistently react to them. But what makes these levels so powerful? Why do millions of traders watch them and why does price often respect them? Support and resistance are not magic. They are simply psychological levels, supply and demand zones, and self-fulfilling expectations all converging. 2. Defining Support and Resistance Support: A price level where demand is strong enough to stop price from falling further. Traders buy here, creating a “floor.” Resistance: A price level where selling pressure outweighs demand, stopping price from rising further. Traders sell here, creating a “ceiling.” Think of them as zones, not exact lines. Markets are messy, and price often wicks through before reacting. 3. Why They Work: The Psychology Support and resistance function because traders remember these levels: Fear & Greed: Traders who missed buying at support wait for price to return. Sellers at resistance wait to “get out at breakeven.” Anchoring: Once a level has reacted multiple times, more traders trust it. Stop Placement: Traders often put stop losses beyond support/resistance, creating liquidity pools that attract price. In short: these levels represent collective memory of the market. 4. The Supply and Demand Connection Behind every level is a simple truth: markets move because of imbalances. At support, buyers step in, creating excess demand. At resistance, sellers dominate, creating excess supply. 5. Types of Support and Resistance Not all levels are created equal. Common ones include: Horizontal Levels – obvious highs/lows on the chart. Trendlines – diagonal support/resistance following direction of trend. Moving Averages – dynamic levels that act as support in uptrends and resistance in downtrends. Psychological Round Numbers – like $1,000 or $2,000 on ETH, where traders naturally cluster orders. 6. How Traders Use Them Support and resistance are used in multiple ways: Entries: Buying near support, selling near resistance. Exits: Taking profit at resistance, cutting loss below support. Stop Loss Placement: Stops often go just below support or above resistance. Breakouts: When resistance breaks, it can turn into new support (and vice versa). 7. Limitations and Traps Support and resistance are not invincible. False Breakouts: Price can wick beyond levels to trigger stops before reversing. Changing Market Conditions: A strong support can fail in a new trend. Overcrowding: When everyone sees the same level, liquidity hunts occur. Good traders combine S/R with confirmation, volume, candlestick signals, or broader market context. 8. Closing Thought Support and resistance work because markets are driven by human behavior and collective memory. They reflect where buyers and sellers previously fought and where they are likely to fight again. But the real edge isn’t just knowing the levels. It’s knowing how to act when price reaches them, and how to manage risk if they fail.

US100: Approaching resistance, pullback likely before breakoutThe IG:NASDAQ has shown a strong short-term recovery after breaking a major descending trendline. However, price is now testing a significant resistance zone, and a technical pullback is likely before the uptrend can continue. 📊 Technical Analysis: 30-minute Chart 📉 1. Overall Trend Price has successfully broken above a descending trendline (red line), shifting market structure from bearish to bullish. An uptrend line (green) is now acting as dynamic support. Price is trading near the upper band of the Keltner Channel, indicating sustained bullish momentum. 🟥 2. Resistance Zone: 24,596 – 24,681 This zone has acted as a strong supply area in the past, causing multiple rejections. Price is currently testing this area again → a rejection or short-term pullback is highly probable. 🟦 3. Support Zone: 24,383 – 24,500 This zone overlaps with previous consolidation and aligns with the uptrend line. If a pullback occurs, this area could attract buyers and act as a launchpad for the next leg up. 🔁 Potential Trade Setups ✳️ Primary Scenario (preferred): Price rejects at resistance → pulls back to support → bounces and resumes the uptrend Wait for a pullback toward 24,500 – 24,383 Look for bullish price action (e.g., bullish engulfing, hammer) for entry Enter long if support holds: 🎯 TP1: 24,650 🎯 TP2: 24,700+ 🛑 SL: Below 24,350 (trendline invalidation) 🔻 Alternative Scenario (risk): If price breaks below 24,383 and the uptrend line fails → short-term trend could shift sideways or bearish Avoid long entries without a confirmed recovery Re-evaluate trend structure if support fails ✅ Conclusion A short-term uptrend is in place However, price is now testing a major resistance zone, and a healthy pullback is likely Please like and comment below to support our traders.

XAUUSD - RETEST STRATEGY On the 1-hour timeframe Gold is currently showing a clear bullish structure supported by both trendline support and a recent breakout above resistance. For several sessions, price has been forming higher lows along the ascending trendline, showing consistent buyer strength. This upward momentum has now resulted in a breakout above the resistance zone around 3,780, which had previously acted as a ceiling for price action. With this breakout, the market structure has shifted further in favor of the bulls. However, as is common after such moves, price may retest the broken resistance before continuing its upward journey. A retest of the 3,780–3,785 zone would be a healthy sign of market confirmation, turning old resistance into new support. Trading Plan: • Look for long entries on a clean retest of the 3,780–3,785 area. • Maintain bullish bias as long as the price holds above the ascending trendline. • Target levels point toward 3,824, which represents the next potential resistance/price objective. Risk Management: A stop-loss can be placed just below the retest zone or under the ascending trendline to protect against false breakouts. Always size positions according to your risk tolerance.

S&P 500: Pullback after flash dump is a Short opportunity 📝 1. Market Context BLUEBERRY:SP500 recently witnessed a sharp drop from 6,698 down to 6,645, showing clear bearish momentum. After this fall, the index attempted a recovery, but the bounce was weak: green candles became smaller and stalled right at key resistance zones. A long red bearish engulfing candle then erased the entire recovery, proving sellers are back in control. 🟥 2. Static Resistance (Red Zone on Chart) On the chart, the red zone represents static resistance, located around 6,671 – 6,664.62. This area aligns with: • Dynamic resistance (moving averages). • Static resistance (previous supply zone). Every time price has tested this area, it faced rejection. This makes the red zone a high-probability level for sellers to step in again if price retests it. 🟩 3. Support Zone (Green Zone on Chart) The nearest support lies at 6,639, highlighted as the green zone on the chart. This is the first logical downside target, where price might pause or react before choosing the next move. 🎯 4. Bearish Scenario • Bias: Bearish continuation. • Entry zone: 6,671 – 6,664.62 (red resistance zone). • Target: 6,639 (blue support zone). • Invalidation: If price closes firmly above 6,672, this bearish idea is no longer valid. ✅ 5. Summary After a sharp decline, the weak bounce into resistance looks like an opportunity for sellers. As long as the index remains below the red resistance zone, the path of least resistance points lower, with 6,639 as the next key support to watch. 📈 Similar to the previous Buy setup, we can see that price is reacting in a similar manner — it touches the static support zone (marked in green) and the moving average (acting as dynamic resistance), before making a strong bounce.

Gold Regains Direction: Watching Momentum and CluesLooking at the XAUUSD chart, I’m genuinely intrigued by what’s unfolding. Price continues to move steadily within an upward parallel channel, perfectly respecting the market structure, while we are starting to see early signs of renewed buying interest right after a strong rejection at the support zone. At the moment, I’m focusing on the area around 3,721, near the upper boundary of the channel, as a safe target. If the upward momentum continues with strength and solid volume, this could present a strategic opportunity to enter the market and ride the trend. Patience is key; I only take action when the price proves its true strength. The market may continue its strong uptrend or create a false move before a deeper correction.

XAU/USD Intraday Plan | Support & Resistance to WatchGold is trading around $3,651, consolidating just under the $3,658 resistance after a strong bullish leg higher. Trend remains bullish above $3,617, but gold is testing key resistance. A breakout could fuel continuation, while rejection raises the risk of a short-term corrective pullback. A clean break above $3,658 would confirm continuation, targeting $3,674, then $3,690, with an extended move toward $3,706. On the downside, rejection from current resistance could see a pullback into $3,644, followed by $3,630 and the $3,617 zone. A decisive break below $3,594 would weaken the bullish bias and expose the $3,564 pullback zone. 📌Key Levels to Watch Resistance: $3,658 $3,674 $3,690 $3,706 Support: $3,644 $3,630 $3,617 $3,594 $3,564

ATHUSDT.P – Trap Zone Absorption → Reversal | High-Timeframe ValBITGET:ATHUSDT.P 🕐 Timeframe: 1H 📊 Strategy: Trap Zone Reversal | Absorption + Delta Flip + HTF Value Reclaim ⸻ 📘 CONTEXT: We’re observing a reversal setup on the 1H chart of ATHUSDT.P (BitGet Mix Perpetual). Price has recently swept a key trap zone and shown aggressive selling absorption near the lows. We’re now seeing reversal momentum building as price reclaims structure. This follows a period of: • Failed sell climaxes at the trap zone • Absorption of aggressive sellers • Re-entry above higher timeframe value (HTFV) These are classic markers of a shift from distribution (short bias) into accumulation (long bias). ⸻ 🔍 STRUCTURE BREAKDOWN: • 🔲 Contraction Box High (BH): 0.03017 • 📉 Higher Timeframe Value (HTFV): 0.03006 • 💚 Trap Zone Absorption Level: 0.02990 • 🔵 Trap Zone Low: 0.02983 (Suggested stop-loss zone) The chart also marks: • 📈 Sell climaxes that failed to follow through • 📉 Buy climaxes that have now been absorbed This suggests wholesale price acceptance has shifted to the upside. ⸻ 🎯 TRADE PLAN: • Entry Zone: Around 0.02990 • Stop Loss: Below 0.02983 (trap zone low) • Target 1: 0.03071 ✅ (Remove ~33% at this level) • Target 2: 0.03151 ✅ (Remove ~90%, leave runners) • Risk/Reward: Designed for a +5% move • Execution Type: Reversal entry off structural sweep + absorption ⸻ 🧠 NOTES ON INDICATORS: This chart is deliberately stripped of indicators to maintain focus on raw structure and price behavior. The following zones are marked visually: • HTFV = Higher Timeframe Value area (drawn manually) • Trap Zone = Where previous aggressive sellers are now trapped • Absorption = Inferred from prior failed lows and clustering behavior • No footprint data shown, but reversal pressure is visible through price structure alone ⸻ ✅ TRADE STATUS: 📈 Active – Position Open Monitoring structure for expansion continuation and scale-out levels.

XAGUSD Overextended: Watching 40.50 NecklineIn the past months I argued that Silver should rise and reach 40, and the market not only achieved that but even exceeded the level, printing a high at 41.50. However, just like Gold, this move looks overextended and vulnerable to correction. 📌 Technically, price has tapped 41.50 twice. While it cannot yet be called a confirmed double top, the possibility exists. The neckline of this potential pattern is at 40.50. • A break below 40.50 could trigger a deeper correction. • First target: under 40, toward the 39 technical support zone. 🔑 Trading Plan: I remain cautious at these levels. If 40.50 gives way, I will look for shorts targeting the 39 area. Counter-trend trades carry very high risk, but the setup is worth monitoring. 🚀

ETH/USD: Could $5,000 Be Just Around the Corner?Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading at $4,285, experiencing a slight decline from the previous close. Intraday, it reached a high of $4,474 and a low of $4,261. The $4,300–$4,400 range has been acting as a key support zone, and a breach below this could see ETH testing the $4,000 level, with the 50-day EMA providing additional support. Immediate resistance is observed around $4,530, and a successful breakout above this level could pave the way for a move towards $5,000. Market sentiment shows the Relative Strength Index (RSI) approaching overbought territory, indicating potential for a short-term pullback. Significant institutional accumulation continues, with firms like BlackRock increasing their ETH holdings. The approval of Ethereum ETFs in the U.S. and Australia has led to increased investor participation, contributing to upward price pressure. Short-term volatility is expected as ETH tests these key support and resistance levels. A breakout above $4,530 could signal a bullish continuation towards $5,000, while a drop below $4,000 may lead to further downside. Long-term prospects remain positive, supported by growing institutional interest and favorable market conditions.

ETH/USD: Will ETH Soar to $8,000 or Crash Below $4,000?As of September 3, 2025, Ethereum (ETH) is trading around $4,466 USD. The market is currently experiencing heightened volatility, influenced by both technical factors and broader macroeconomic developments. Ethereum reached a high of $4,954 in August before retracing to its current levels, suggesting a consolidation phase with key support around $4,200 and resistance near $4,650. Technically, short-term trends suggest a bullish bias, but caution is advised due to recent fluctuations. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is showing bearish divergence, indicating potential weakening momentum. A decisive breakout above $4,650 could push ETH toward $5,000, while a drop below $4,200 may lead to retesting the $4,000 support zone. Investor sentiment is cautiously optimistic. Anticipation of potential Federal Reserve rate cuts in September has increased demand for risk assets like Ethereum. Additionally, the upcoming Fusaka upgrade is expected to enhance Ethereum's scalability and reduce transaction costs, further bolstering its appeal. In the near term, Ethereum is likely to experience continued volatility. Traders should monitor the $4,200 support and $4,650 resistance levels closely. Looking ahead, Ethereum's long-term prospects remain strong. Analysts project that with sustained institutional interest and successful implementation of scalability upgrades, ETH could reach between $6,000 and $8,000 by the end of 2025. Despite the optimistic outlook, Ethereum's price remains susceptible to broader market dynamics, including Bitcoin’s performance and macroeconomic factors. Investors should be prepared for potential fluctuations and consider these risks when making investment decisions. Overall, Ethereum’s market is at a pivotal point, and key technical levels and upcoming events will play a crucial role in determining its short-term trajectory.

ETH/USD: ETH on the Edge!ETH is currently trading around $4,390–$4,430 after a summer rally and a modest pullback, reflecting broader crypto weakness linked to shifting U.S. rate-cut expectations. Demand from spot ETH ETFs has been a key support factor, with inflows continuing steadily and several trackers reporting multi-billion-dollar monthly additions. On-chain activity also remains robust, with DeFi TVL, daily transactions, and active addresses near 2025 highs, indicating that real usage underpins price action. The completion of the Pectra upgrade and upcoming scalability improvements further support medium-term confidence, while macro developments remain the main swing factor, as crypto reacts to Fed guidance and broader risk appetite. Technically, $4,300–$4,350 provides immediate support, with deeper support at $4,150–$4,200, while resistance sits at $4,600, above which $4,950–$5,000 becomes achievable. In the next 2–6 weeks, ETH is likely to trade in a range of $4,200–$4,950, with ETF inflows and strong on-chain metrics cushioning dips, though a decisive close above $4,600 would open a run toward $4,900–$5,000, and a close below $4,300 risks probing $4,150–$4,200. Into Q4, the outlook remains constructive but choppy, with potential to retest and break $5,000 if flows persist and macro conditions remain favorable. Key risks include a macro downside surprise, ETF outflows, and technical or regulatory setbacks. Market participants should watch ETF flow prints, on-chain activity, and U.S. rates data, as these will heavily influence ETH price action. Overall, near-term trading likely remains choppy between $4,200 and $4,950, with $4,600 acting as pivotal resistance and $4,300 as immediate support, while ETF inflows and real usage favor buy-the-dip behavior, and macro developments will determine whether ETH can sustainably challenge $5,000.
