XAU/USD Intraday Plan | Support & Resistance to WatchGold starts the new week attempting to recover after last week’s drop, now trading around 3,339, just above the 3,334 intraday support.
Price remains below both the 50MA and 200MA, which are now turning downward—signalling a shift to short-term bearish structure. To regain upside momentum, bulls need to reclaim the 3,362 resistance zone. A confirmed break above this area would re-open the path toward 3,373, 3,380, and 3,387.
Until then, structure favors the bears, and any rejection below 3,362 keeps risk tilted to the downside. A break back below 3,334 would expose price to the lower Support 3,309.
If that gives out, watch for deeper downside toward 3,289-3,267 and the HTF Support Zone (3,241–3,208).
📌 Key Levels to Watch
Resistance: 3,348 ‣ 3,362 ‣ 3,373 ‣ 3,380 ‣ 3,387
Support: 3,334 ‣ 3,309 ‣ 3,289 ‣ 3,267 ‣ 3,241
🔍Fundamental Focus:
This is a high-impact week for gold traders.
Expect spikes in volatility, especially around FOMC and NFP. Use wider stops, reduce position sizes, and trade only confirmed setups.

Today's GOLD Analysis (MMC) – Sell Bias Continues To Next TargetChart Overview:
This 2-hour GOLD (XAU/USD) chart showcases a clear bearish structure in line with the Mirror Market Concepts (MMC) methodology. Price action is respecting key supply zones and continues to reject significant levels, confirming the dominance of sellers in the short-term structure.
🔍 Key Technical Elements:
1️⃣ Break of Trendline (MMC QFL Entry Model)
The descending grey trendline marks consistent lower highs, showing clear bearish pressure. The breakout and rejections around this trendline zone (annotated “1”) confirm it as a strong supply area. This breakdown set the stage for a QFL (Quick Flip Liquidity) drop.
🧊 2x Supply Zone (High Confidence Rejection)
The 2x supply label highlights an area where price rapidly reversed with aggressive bearish momentum. This zone was tested and respected again, leading to further downside pressure, reinforcing the idea of institutional selling interest from that level.
📉 QFL Levels & Central Zone
Two major QFL drops are evident, where price broke previous demand structures and created new supply imbalance. The Central Zone currently acts as short-term support, but price is hovering just above it with weak bullish reaction, indicating potential for further breakdown.
🎯 Target & Reversal Zone – 3,331.90
The green zone below marks the Next Reversal Zone, with a highlighted price target at 3,331.90. This is where:
Previous liquidity was absorbed.
Demand imbalance may attract buyers again.
MMC reversal structures might be anticipated.
This zone aligns perfectly with the broader MMC concept of flipping between major zones and reversal blocks.
🧠 Trade Idea & Strategy (MMC Traders’ Minds)
Current Bias: Bearish
Entry Trigger: After rejection from trendline & 2x supply area.
Stop-Loss Suggestion: Above the trendline or recent supply wick (~3,375-3,380).
Take-Profit Zone: Primary TP at 3,331.90, with eyes on lower reversal targets if momentum persists.
Market Behavior: Controlled by sellers, liquidity sweeps seen, weak demand below Central Zone.
📌 Key Events to Watch
As marked at the bottom, major US news events are scheduled between July 30th and 31st, which could act as catalysts for price acceleration toward the reversal zone or cause sharp volatility. Plan accordingly.
🧭 Conclusion:
Gold is respecting bearish market structure under the MMC model. With clear QFL breakouts, rejection from 2x Supply, and weak bullish attempts near the Central Zone, this chart favors short setups targeting the 3,331.90 zone. MMC traders should monitor price action closely within the Reversal Zone for potential buy signals or trend continuation if sellers remain aggressive.

After a careful consideration I came to the conclusion that:
- it is crucial to be quick in alerting you with all the opportunities I spot and often I don't post a good pattern because I don't have the opportunity to write down a proper didactical comment;
- since my parameters to identify a Classical Pattern and its scenario are very well defined, many of my comments were and would be redundant;
- the information that I think is important is very simple and can easily be understood just by looking at charts;
For these reasons and hoping to give you a better help, I decided to write comments only when something very specific or interesting shows up, otherwise all the information is shown on the chart.
Thank you all for your support

Apple (AAPL) — Expected 20% GrowthThe fundamental outlook for Apple stock remains positive: the upcoming fall presentation and anticipated AI-related announcements are driving bullish sentiment.
Technical picture:
The price has broken through a key trendline, signaling a shift in momentum toward growth.
Near-term target: a move toward the 225.0 level.
Next step: a possible pullback to 214.0 for a retest of the support level.
Long-term scenario: after the correction, I expect a rise toward 250.0, which could bring approximately 20% growth within 1–2 months.
This growth potential may coincide with Apple’s upcoming earnings report and further AI news.

SYM Trade Breakdown – Robotics Meets Smart Technical's🧪 Company: Symbotic Inc. ( NASDAQ:SYM )
🗓️ Entry: April–May 2025
🧠 Trade Type: Swing / Breakout Reversal
🎯 Entry Zone: $16.28–$17.09
⛔ Stop Loss: Below $14.00
🎯 Target Zone: $50–$64+
📈 Status: Strong Rally in Motion
📊 Why This Trade Setup Stood Out
✅ Macro Falling Wedge Reversal
After nearly two years of compression inside a falling wedge, price finally tapped multi-year structural support and fired off with strength. This wasn’t just a bottom — it was a structural inflection point.
✅ Triple Tap at Demand Zone
Symbotic tapped the ~$17 area multiple times, signaling strong accumulation. Volume and momentum picked up with each successive test, showing institutional interest.
✅ Clean Break of Trendline
Price broke through the falling resistance trendline decisively, confirming the bullish reversal and unleashing stored energy from months of sideways structure.
🔍 Company Narrative Backdrop
Symbotic Inc. isn't just any tech stock. It’s at the forefront of automation and AI-powered supply chain solutions, with real-world robotics deployed in major retail warehouses. That kind of secular growth narrative adds rocket fuel to technical setups like this — especially during AI adoption surges.
Founded in 2020, Symbotic has quickly become a rising name in logistics and warehouse automation, serving the U.S. and Canadian markets. With robotics in demand and investors chasing future-ready tech, the price action aligned perfectly with the macro theme.
🧠 Lessons from the Trade
⚡ Compression = Expansion: Wedges like this build pressure. When they break, the moves are violent.
🧱 Structure Never Lies: The $17 zone was no accident — it was respected over and over.
🤖 Tech Narrative Boosts Confidence: Trading is easier when the fundamentals align with the technicals.
💬 What’s Next for SYM?
If price holds above the wedge and clears the $64 resistance, we could be looking at new all-time highs in the next cycle. Watching for consolidation and retests as opportunity zones.

Tesla Trade Breakdown: The Power of Structure, Liquidity & ...🔍 Why This Trade Was Taken
🔹 Channel Structure + Liquidity Trap
Price rejected from a long-standing higher time frame resistance channel, making a false breakout above $500 — a classic sign of exhaustion. What followed was a sharp retracement into the lower bounds of the macro channel, aligning with my Daily LQZ (Liquidity Zone).
🔹 Buy Zone Confidence: April 25
I mapped the April 25th liquidity grab as a high-probability reversal date, especially with price landing in a confluence of:
Demand Zone
Trendline Support (from April 23 & April 24 anchor points)
Volume spike + reclaim of structure
🔹 Risk/Reward Favored Asymmetry
With a clear invalidation below $208 and targets at prior supply around $330+, the R:R on this trade was ideal (over 3:1 potential).
Lessons Reinforced
🎯 Structure Always Tells a Story: The macro channel held strong — even after a failed breakout attempt.
💧 Liquidity Zones Matter: Price gravitated toward where stops live — and then reversed sharply.
🧘♂️ Patience Beats Precision: The best trades don’t chase. They wait. This was one of them.

NZD/CAD SELLERS WILL DOMINATE THE MARKET|SHORT
Hello, Friends!
NZD/CAD pair is trading in a local uptrend which we know by looking at the previous 1W candle which is green. On the 5H timeframe the pair is going up too. The pair is overbought because the price is close to the upper band of the BB indicator. So we are looking to sell the pair with the upper BB line acting as resistance. The next target is 0.817 area.

Quantum's BBY Outlook 7/20/25🚀 G.O.D. Flow (Gamma, Orderflow, Dealer Positioning)
1. 🧩 Summary Overview
Ticker: BBY
Current Price: $67.50
Flow Setup Date: Current Session
Trade Type: Intraday / 0–2 Day Swing
2. 🔬 Flow Breakdown
🔵 GEX (Gamma Exposure):
Highest -GEX at 70 → potential volatility pocket and resistance zone.
Despite matching +GEX at 70, net gamma is negative — bearish skew.
Additional +GEX at 72 & 73, but overwhelmed by -GEX at 68 and 67.
🔺 Overall gamma environment favors chop and downside unless 70 is reclaimed.
🟡 DEX (Delta Exposure):
Mirrors GEX layout.
Dealer short delta bias = likely selling into strength.
Reclaim of 70+ may signal a squeeze, but not favored without sweep confirmation.
🟣 Vanna:
Strong -Vanna clusters from 70 to 77: if IV rises, dealers sell into strength.
⚠️ This limits bullish continuation unless IV drops drastically.
Minor +Vanna at 60 = support base on deep dip (liquidity pocket if flushed hard).
🔴 Charm:
Extreme -Charm peak at 70 = time decay creates headwind at this level.
Additional -Charm pressure at 72, 73, and 77.
Minor +Charm at 60 suggests dealer support only comes much lower.
⚪ Volatility:
Neutral past week.
If vol spikes, expect dealer selling pressure to intensify under this skew.
🟢 Open Interest:
Heavy put OI at 70 = possible support IF price breaks hard.
Calls OI lighter at 72 and 73, meaning less resistance absorption if price does push up.
3. 📊 Chart Structure Setup
Price: $67.50, sitting below key gamma and charm cluster at 70.
Chart bias: Bearish unless strong reclaim of 70.
Key flush zones: 68 → 67 → 65
Confirmed supply above 70 due to clustered charm/vanna.
4. 🎯 Trade Plan
🟥 Bias: Bearish unless 70 is reclaimed and held with size.
🛠 Entry Triggers:
Rejection of 69.50–70 zone → PUT
Break and retest of 67 → PUT
📦 Contract Picks (0–5 DTE):
67p, 65p, 60p
🛑 Risk Stop:
Breakout and hold above 70.50 with size = exit or flip long bias intraday
🎯 Targets:
Target 1: 66.00 (Gamma flush)
Target 2: 63.00 (next +Charm liquidity zone)
BTC/USDT – 4H Chart Technical AnalysisBTC/USDT – 4H Chart Technical Analysis
Market Structure & Trend
Overall Trend : Bearish (clearly defined by a consistent downtrend channel).
Current Structure : Price is in a corrective downtrend within a descending channel, after multiple rejections from the supply zone.
Key Technical Zones
1. Supply Zone
Strong rejection zone where the price previously reversed sharply.
Still acting as resistance, located around the upper range.
2. Demand Zone
Currently being retested for the fifth time, weakening its strength.
Recent price action shows liquidity sweep and swing low break inside this zone, potentially trapping early longs.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) & Fibonacci Levels
1D FVG sits below the current demand, aligning with:
Golden Pocket (0.618–0.65 Fib).
Acts as a high-probability bounce zone for long entries if demand fails.
A break below this FVG could open up deeper downside toward the 0.786 Fib or beyond.
Psychological Levels
105,000 – Major resistance & potential take-profit area for long positions.
100,000 – Key support and liquidity magnet if the demand zone fails.
Volume Profile
High Volume Node: 102,000 – 106,800 — price tends to gravitate here, indicating potential consolidation or resistance.
Low Volume Area: Below 100,500 — suggests thin liquidity, which may cause sharp moves if price drops into this range.
Scenarios & Trade Ideas
Bullish Scenario
If price holds above the demand zone (after multiple retests) and confirms on LTF:
Potential Long to local resistance.
On breakout, target the 105,000 psychological level.
Confluence: High volume area offers both support and a magnet.
Bearish Scenario
If price fails to hold the demand zone:
Enter short position targeting the 1D FVG and 100,000 psychological level.
If that breaks, expect sharp continuation due to low volume below.
Conclusion
Price is at a pivotal point — currently balancing on weakened demand after multiple retests. Watch for LTF confirmation:
Above demand = bullish recovery setup.
Below demand = bearish continuation toward 100,000 and the FVG.
Manage risk tightly due to the proximity of both key zones.
Quantum's BA Weekly Outlook 7/19/25🚀 G.O.D. Flow Certified Trade Blueprint – Boeing (BA)
1. 🧩 Summary Overview
Ticker: BA
Current Price: $229.34
Trade Type: Day Trade / 0–2 Day Swing
System: G.O.D. Flow (Gamma, Orderflow, Dealer Positioning)
2. 🔬 Flow Breakdown
🔵 GEX (Gamma Exposure):
Highest negative GEX at $230 = possible resistance or sticky zone.
However, +GEX2 at $235 and +GEX3 at $240 outweigh $230 → suggests dealer hedging will push price upward through gamma bands.
🟡 DEX (Delta Exposure):
+DEX peaks at $230 then fades toward $240 and reappears at $250 → bullish flow decay confirms momentum needs volume through $235–240 to continue upward push.
🟣 Vanna:
Flip zone at $232.50 → if IV rises and price pushes upward, dealers must buy, adding tailwind.
Major positive clusters at $240 & $250 = major squeeze potential if IV increases intraday.
🔴 Charm:
Flip zone at $227.50 = above this level, morning decay benefits bulls.
Negative charm at $240 & $250 = expect afternoon fade into these zones — ideal trim targets.
⚪ Volatility:
Volatility decreasing weekly = less explosive risk, more structured/predictable flow.
Dealers will likely have cleaner hedging paths without IV shocks.
🟢 Open Interest:
Stacked calls at $230, $235, $240, $250.
Aligns with GEX/Vanna targets → confirms upside skew.
3. 🧭 Chart Structure Setup
Daily: Consolidation breakout attempt.
Hourly: Bounce off support with bullish stochastics crossover.
10M OR: Mark OR High/Low — use reclaim of OR High + VWAP as entry signal.
Resistance: $235–240 (flow + OI + chart confluence) = ideal trim zone.
4. 🎯 Trade Plan
Bias: Bullish
Trigger Entry: Break and reclaim of $232.50 (Vanna Flip)
Contract Suggestion:
235c or 240c, 0–2 DTE (Friday expiry if early week)
Stop-Loss:
VWAP loss or break below $230
Target Zones:
🎯 T1: $235 (GEX2 + OI cluster)
🎯 T2: $240 (GEX3 + Vanna/Charm confluence)
5. 🔁 Intraday Adjustment Triggers
If This Happens: Then Do This:
GEX flips positive above $232.50 Strengthen conviction
Vanna clusters weaken + IV drops Trim / De-risk
Charm flips heavily negative by 12pm Expect fade into highs
Large sweeps hit 235c/240c strikes Ride momentum with size confidence
CAD/CHF SENDS CLEAR BEARISH SIGNALS|SHORT
Hello, Friends!
Previous week’s green candle means that for us the CAD/CHF pair is in the uptrend. And the current movement leg was also up but the resistance line will be hit soon and upper BB band proximity will signal an overbought condition so we will go for a counter-trend short trade with the target being at 0.578.

HDB Financial: Strategic Entry Near IPO Price After Breakout...!HDB Financial Services, recently listed at a 12.8% premium over its issue price of ₹740, has shown promising technical movement. After a period of sideways consolidation, the stock has broken out of a descending triangle pattern—an encouraging sign for potential downside momentum.
For long-term investors and swing traders, the ₹740 level presents a strategic entry point. This level, being the IPO issue price, is likely to act as a strong support zone. Investors looking to accumulate quality stocks can consider initiating a position near this level, with a long-term perspective or for a medium-term trade setup, depending on individual risk profiles.
USD/CAD: Inflation gaps create opportunityIn the U.S., inflation accelerated for a second straight month, with headline CPI reaching 2.7% year-on-year in June as President Trump’s tariffs begin to push up the cost of a range of goods.
Increasing inflation could likely heighten the Federal Reserve’s reluctance to cut its interest rate, in defiance of Trump’s public demand. This could provide upward momentum for USD/CAD if expectations for rate cuts are delayed.
USD/CAD is showing signs of a potential trend reversal after finding strong support around 1.3600 in late June. Price action has since formed a series of higher lows, and the recent breakout attempt above 1.3720 suggests bullish momentum could be building.
Canada’s inflation rate, released at the same time as the US’s, edged up to 1.9%, staying below the Bank of Canada’s 2% target for a third consecutive month. With the BoC already signalling easing bias, this divergence in inflation paths may limit CAD strength.
BTC/USD Technical Analysis — Educational BreakdownBTC/USD Technical Analysis — Educational Breakdown (July 13, 2025)
🔍 Market Context
Bitcoin (BTC/USD) is currently trading around $117,913, exhibiting a clear reaction from a well-defined resistance zone between $118,439 and $119,000. This resistance aligns with a previously unfilled 4H Bullish Fair Value Gap (FVG) — a price inefficiency left behind during a strong bullish move — which has now been filled, triggering a pause and reaction in bullish momentum.
🧠 Key Concepts Explained
📘 1. Fair Value Gap (FVG)
In Institutional Price Delivery models (often used in Smart Money Concepts), a Fair Value Gap represents an imbalance in price action — usually between the wicks of candles where price moved too quickly, leaving inefficient trading zones. Price often retraces to these areas before resuming its direction. Here, BTC has filled the 4H Bullish FVG, which acts as a magnet for price and a potential reversal point once filled.
📘 2. Liquidity Sweep
The chart highlights a Sell-Side Liquidity Sweep — this occurs when price dips below a key short-term low or consolidation range to trigger stop-losses and collect liquidity before making its next move. This move is typically engineered by larger market participants to capture orders before deciding on true directional intent.
📘 3. Resistance and Support
Resistance ($118,439 – $119,000): This area is acting as a supply zone where sellers are stepping in after price filled the FVG.
Support ($115,580): This level has previously provided demand and also holds liquidity (stop-losses from long positions), making it a probable target if bearish pressure follows through.
📈 Potential Trade Insight (Educational)
⚠️ This is not financial advice but an educational scenario based on the current technical setup.
Bearish Setup: If price rejects from resistance and forms a lower high, a short entry targeting the support zone at $115,580 could be considered, using a stop above $119,000.
Bullish Invalidator: A break and hold above $119,000 would suggest bullish continuation, potentially targeting higher time frame imbalances or resistance.
📚 Summary & Takeaway for Learners
This chart presents an excellent case study in understanding how institutional concepts like FVGs, liquidity sweeps, and key supply/demand zones interact in real price action. Traders can learn the following from this setup:
Price doesn’t move randomly — it often targets liquidity and imbalances.
Patience is key — waiting for confirmation at known reaction zones can improve trade accuracy.
Market context matters — a filled FVG at resistance combined with a liquidity sweep gives confluence to a bearish outlook.
