Gold (XAUUSD) – 30 Oct | Key OB (3937.9 – 3930.3) in Focus🟡 Gold (XAUUSD) Analysis – 30 October Hello Disciplined Traders, Welcome to the Chart Is Mirror Community 👋 Market Context • After the recent H4 bearish structure shift , the M15 structure has turned bullish , indicating that H4 is currently in a pullback phase while M15 remains in an active bullish trend. • Following the M15 bullish CHoCH yesterday, the market pulled back to retest the key demand zone 3916.5 – 3905.7 , which has been respected multiple times. • Today morning, the Asian session also took support twice from this demand zone , holding the day’s low level and showing internal structure shift to the upside , suggesting that the market is likely aiming to break the 4030.5 previous day high . Key Observations • The 3916.5 – 3905.7 demand zone remains a strong intraday base for buyers. • As per current price action, we will look for a short-term long setup from the buy zone 3937.9 – 3930.3 OB . • If the market pulls back to this zone and shows LTF bullish confirmation , we will execute our buy setup accordingly. • A sustained move below 3905.7 will invalidate the current internal bullish structure. Execution Plan • Wait for price to retest the 3937.9 – 3930.3 OB zone . • If the zone is respected and LTF confirmation aligns , we will execute our long setup accordingly . • If price fails to hold above 3905.7, stand aside and reassess the structure before taking new positions. • The market remains volatile — manage position size and risk carefully . Stillness between confirmation and execution defines discipline. 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror

BTCUSD — Mind Games at the Range Low Pre Ny Session 🧭 Context Bitcoin is testing the range low at 112.885, holding just above despite multiple wicks below. Price hasn’t closed beneath structure — and until the 4H confirms, it’s still a game of perception, not breakdown. Don’t mistake volatility for intent. Price can sweep liquidity behind higher-timeframe wicks without flipping bias. As long as the 4H structure holds, the map remains bullish within the 112.885–116.077 range. 🔹Technical Frame Range intact: 112.885–116.077 4H close below 112.800 = structural shift Volume stable, delta neutral — no confirmation of breakdown Possible liquidity sweep event around macro news Focus zone: 113.200–114.000 for reactive setups 💡Macro Note With today’s data on deck, short-term volatility spikes are expected. Let the reaction confirm direction — not emotion. This phase is designed to shake conviction, not reward it. Institutional Logic. Modern Technology. Real Freedom.

Gold (XAUUSD) – 29 Oct | Key Supply Zone in Focus🟡 Gold (XAUUSD) Analysis – 29 October Hello Disciplined Traders, Welcome to the Chart Is Mirror Community 👋 Market Context • Yesterday, Gold failed to hold the H4 demand zone (3976.8 – 3944.3) and the higher-low (HL) key zone . • The breakout caused a clear H4 bearish structure shift (CHoCH) , confirming that both H4 and M15 are now in a downtrend. • Market sentiment has shifted to bearish, with momentum favoring sellers. Key Observations • Currently, M15 is in a pullback phase , retesting the first supply zone + LH key level 4005 – 4020 . • If the market respects this zone and prints a LTF structure shift confirmation , we will plan short setups accordingly. • A M15 close above 4020 would signal a short-term bullish structure shift , suggesting the start of an H4 pullback. • During this phase, cautious long setups may be considered only with strong confirmation — as pullback trades remain lower probability. • The next potential supply zone lies at 4132 – 4163 ; if the lower zone breaks, price may pull back into this 50% + strong supply zone, where we’ll again look for short setups with confirmation. Execution Plan • Watch the 4005 – 4020 zone closely for bearish reaction and structure shift. • If the zone is respected and LTF confirmation appears , we will execute our short setup accordingly . • If price breaks above this zone, wait for new structure formation before considering any counter-trend long setups. • Market volatility is high — manage position size and risk carefully . Precision begins with patience — let confirmation lead your conviction. 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror

Gold (XAUUSD) – 28 Oct | Key Demand Zone in Focus🟡 Gold (XAUUSD) Analysis – 28 October Hello Disciplined Traders, Welcome to the Chart Is Mirror Community 👋 Market Context • Gold is currently trading inside the H4 demand zone 3976.8 – 3944.3 , aligning with a higher-low (HL) key zone , a high-probability area where price could potentially reverse and resume its uptrend. • The recent retracement represents a healthy H4 pullback within the broader bullish structure. • Momentum remains neutral at present, as the market awaits confirmation from lower timeframes. Key Observations • If the market holds this key demand zone and forms a bullish structure shift on M15 , it could signal the end of the H4 pullback and the beginning of a new bullish leg. • A close below 3944.3 will confirm a CHoCH (Change of Character) to the downside, suggesting continuation of the H4 downtrend. • In that scenario, only short opportunities will remain valid until structure shifts back to bullish. Execution Plan • Wait for M15 bullish structure shift or confirmation before entering long positions. • If the market closes below 3944.3, switch bias to short setups in alignment with the H4 downtrend. • Patience is key — let structure reveal the direction before participation. Stillness precedes precision — let the market confirm your conviction. 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror

Gold (XAUUSD) – 27 Oct | Watching Key Supply Zones🟡 Gold (XAUUSD) Analysis – 27 October Hello Disciplined Traders, Welcome to the Chart Is Mirror Community 👋 Market Context • Gold continues to range within the 4004.6–4161.8 price range for the last four trading sessions. • As per the M15 internal structure , after a CHoCH downside , price pulled back to the 4131.5–4144.9 supply zone last Friday, respected the zone, and resumed its downtrend. • The Asia session also continued in line with the bearish momentum. Key Observations • Market is currently in a minor pullback toward the 4089–4098 POI zone for a potential short setup. • Overall bias remains bearish while the M15 structure stays intact. Execution Plan • If the 4089–4098 zone is respected with LTF confirmation , plan for short setups accordingly. • If invalidated and price breaks above, the next selling zone remains 4131.5–4144.9 supply zone . Stillness is strength — let the structure confirm your trade. 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror

Silence Between Trades: The Missing Edge“The best traders don’t trade all the time. They wait until silence turns into clarity.” Most traders believe progress means constant activity — always analyzing, clicking, reacting, entering. But true consistency begins in the space between trades . In that quiet gap where no button is pressed and no candle matters. Why Silence Matters The human mind craves noise. When the chart slows down, the mind gets restless. You start doubting your bias. You scroll timeframes. You force entries. That’s not trading — that’s trying to escape stillness. But silence is where observation deepens. It’s where the impulsive trader becomes the patient one. Stillness is not absence of action — it’s control of it. What to Do Between Trades Journal — note what you felt after your last trade, not just the result. Observe price structure without bias. Let the market show its next intent. Breathe — step away, let your nervous system reset. Review your setups — refine your plan instead of forcing a new one. The Hidden Edge When others jump into random trades, your patience will look like inactivity — but it’s actually precision. The longer you can stay calm in uncertainty, the closer you are to mastery. Stillness isn’t waiting for the market to move — It’s waiting for yourself to settle. 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror Does silence make you uneasy, or do you find strength in it? Share your reflection below — the quietest traders often have the loudest growth.

Gold (XAUUSD) – 24 Oct | Watching Key Supply & Demand Zones🟡 Gold (XAUUSD) Analysis – 24 October Hello Disciplined Traders, Welcome to the Chart Is Mirror Community 👋 Market Context • Gold is currently ranging between 4004.6–4162.3 . • The M15 structure remains bearish and is now in a pullback phase. • Internally, price has respected the 4110–4100 demand zone multiple times, showing temporary support. Key Observations • Expecting a pullback towards the 4246–4277.8 supply zone — our primary POI for short setup. • If this zone is not respected and M15 breaks out upside , it would signal a structure shift bullish , invalidating the sell bias and opening room for long opportunities. • Recently, the market swept day low liquidity and again respected the 4110–4100 zone — short-term longs from this area are possible, but only for experienced traders and with clear LTF confirmation . Execution Plan • Prefer short setups from 4246–4277.8 zone if respected. • Short-term long trades from 4110–4100 are valid only with confirmation and controlled risk. • High volatility continues — stay patient and disciplined. In volatility lies emotion; in confirmation lies control. 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror

DXY UpdateDXY — Reaction at 98.611 Distribution Zone The U.S. Dollar Index met firm resistance near 98.611, the same Bearish distribution area that capped momentum last week. Price remains inside a wide daily range but shows the first sign of cooling after a strong stretch higher. Below sits 98.143, the line that that changes chart bearish. Until then We are still good. Acceptance under that level would confirm a structure shift and open space for continued rotation lower. Upcoming jobless claims and Fed remarks may decide which side gains conviction. For now, this is a market balancing inventory — not trending, just redistributing. Trade confirmation, not anticipation.

Gold (XAUUSD) – 22 Oct | Watching Key Zones for Short Setup🟡 Gold (XAUUSD) Analysis – 22 October Hello Disciplined Traders, Welcome to the Chart Is Mirror Community 👋 Market Context • Gold is currently in an H4 pullback phase. • The M15 structure is bearish , with a confirmed ChoCH + BoS to the downside — keeping the short-term bias aligned with the higher timeframe pullback. • The market has formed a broad range between 4381 (high) and 4004 (low) . • After retesting the 4381 supply zone in yesterday’s session, price dropped sharply and touched the 4004.280 H4 demand zone , showing strong buying pressure. Key Observations • Despite buying reaction from the demand zone, there’s no clear internal structure formed yet to support a long setup. • The market remains bearish unless a clean M15 structure shift upside occurs. Execution Plan • Primary sell zone to watch: 4246–4277.8 OB zone . • Next potential sell POI: 4353.7–4381 major supply zone . • If either POI is respected with LTF confirmation , we’ll plan short setups accordingly. • Without confirmation — stay patient and observe. Stillness is clarity — let structure confirm before you act. 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror

Start Thinking Like a Trader – Not a Gambler.Most people don’t lose in trading because they lack knowledge — they lose because they think the wrong way. They chase signals, follow the noise, and react emotionally to every candle. They trade out of fear when the market drops, and out of greed when it rises. They believe the next trade will finally make everything right. But real trading doesn’t work like that. A real trader knows: the market owes you nothing. Every trade carries uncertainty. You can’t control outcomes — only your decisions. That’s why traders think in probabilities, not certainties. They understand that a single trade means nothing, but consistent execution over time means everything. Professional traders don’t rely on luck. They plan every move before entering: -> They define their entry and exit. -> They set a stop-loss to protect their capital. -> They accept that losses are part of the business, not a reflection of their skill. Risk control is the foundation — without it, even the best strategy will fail. Because the goal is not to win every trade. The goal is to stay in the game long enough for your edge to play out. Think like a trader: -> Focus on the process, not just the result. -> React to what you see, not what you feel. -> Stay calm, even when the market tests your patience. -> Be consistent, even when emotions push you off balance. -> Keep learning — the best traders are lifelong students of the market. Trading isn’t gambling. It’s a business built on discipline, strategy, and mindset. And once you truly start thinking like a trader, you’ll realize: you don’t need to predict the market — you just need to prepare for it.

Bitcoin Update Bitcoin — Pre-New York Session (Daily) By CORE5DAN | October 21, 2025 Bitcoin tests the edge — bearish range meets its make-or-break moment. Price is pressing against the bearish range’s lower boundary, after rejecting the naked Point of Control (POC) at 111.086. Yesterday’s POC also declined to the same level — a sign of sustained supply pressure. We’re now trading down from bearish discount levels, approaching yesterday’s low at 107.449. If the Dollar holds its bullish bias, cross-markets could see heavier declines. The structure remains Locally bearish with range limits set between 116.077 (high) and 103.516 (low). 🧭 Technical Map If today’s daily close prints below 107.449, it confirms a heavy bearish mode by algorithmic logic. Order flow flipped strongly bearish from the POC, with an aggressive reaction in the discount zone. Momentum remains one-sided — patience over prediction. 🌐 Fundamental Pulse A data-heavy U.S. week continues: • Retail sales and housing data show mixed resilience. • Yields stay near recent highs — tightening liquidity across risk assets. • Fed speakers on deck later today may reinforce higher-for-longer tone. Dollar strength keeps weighing on crypto sentiment as liquidity risk persists. 🎯 Plan Hold positions aligned with structure. Watch macro + order flow for alignment. Avoid reacting to short-term bounces — the market is thinning, not turning. 💭 Mindset Pulse “Markets are like Washington press briefings — lots of noise, little truth. Keep your logic, not your loyalty.” Note: Long-term, BTC remains in a weekly and monthly bearish macro range. Stay patient, disciplined, and avoid greed as volatility expands. Institutional Logic. Modern Technology. Real Freedom!

US DOLLAR UPDATE DXYDXY — Rangebound but Firm: 98.19 Holds the Line Dollar holds steady inside Friday’s range — a quiet coil before the macro rotation. 🧭 Context The Dollar spent Monday trapped between Friday’s high and low, liquidating the upper wick at 98.190 before closing back within range. Price currently sits near the 50% Fibonacci retracement (98.123), keeping the bullish range intact but unconfirmed. The market is balanced, not directional — patience is the edge here. 📊 Technical Map Structure: Price remains inside a clean bullish range with a volume imbalance still unfilled near 97.436. Momentum: Mildly bullish but range-dependent — upward bias, no breakout confirmation yet. Key Levels: Support → 97.672 / 97.436 Pivot → 98.123 Resistance → 98.190 / 98.420 🌐 Fundamental Pulse This week’s key drivers: PMI flash, GDP (Thu), and PCE inflation (Fri) — all high-impact data that will steer the Fed narrative. Yields remain firm but cooling; risk appetite mixed as traders await fresh growth signals. Without new inflation pressure, the Dollar likely stays rotational within its higher-timeframe band until late-week catalysts. 🎯 Plan Primary: Avoid midrange noise. Best setups are at range extremes — 97.6 support and 98.2 resistance. Execution Filter: Wait for volume expansion or 1H close confirmation before breakout engagement. Alternative: Failure to hold 98.12 reopens imbalance toward 97.43; a break above 98.19 invites continuation to 98.4–98.6. ⚠️ Risk / Alt Range = noise. Stay tactical. High-frequency trades only until volatility expands. 🧠 Mindset Pulse “In dull markets, discipline is the premium asset — not conviction.” Professionals don’t chase noise; they preserve readiness.

Gold (XAUUSD) – 20 Oct | Watching Key Sell & Buy Zones🟡 Gold (XAUUSD) Analysis – 💫20 October💫 Hello Disciplined Traders, Welcome to the Chart Is Mirror Community 👋 ✨ Wishing you all a Happy Diwali! ✨ May this festival of lights illuminate your trading mindset — replacing fear with clarity , greed with discipline , and impulsiveness with stillness . Trade like a lamp — steady, calm, and bright from within.✨ Market Context Gold is currently in an H4 pullback phase after marking a new all-time high around 4381 . M15 has shown a ChoCh confirmation , indicating short-term weakness and aligning with the H4 pullback structure. If BoS below 4186 occurs, we can expect further continuation to the downside. However, without BoS, this could just be a liquidity grab before the trend resumes upward. Key Observations Since M15 is showing an internal bullish structure, we will observe both sides of the market for potential opportunities. • Sell Zone: 4287.5–4316.7 (OB zone). If price pulls back to this zone and respects it with LTF confirmation , we will plan a short-term sell setup accordingly. If the market fails to respect this zone and breaks above it, we may see a continuation of the bullish momentum — so stay still and observe the structure closely. • Buy Zone: 4207 (Unmitigated Internal Key Level). If price first comes down to retest this level and respects it with LTF confirmation , we’ll plan a long setup targeting the sell zone. Execution Plan For today’s session, we will observe both POIs carefully. If any zone is invalidated, we will reassess the price action as per the structure and plan accordingly. Discipline brings clarity — let the market confirm before you act. 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror

DXY — Between Balance and Breakout Date: Sunday, October 19 Timeframe: Daily Analyst: @CORE5DAN Context The U.S. Dollar Index holds a bullish daily range between 99.197 and 97.048, now sitting around the Fibonacci 50% retracement at 97.044. Friday’s session formed a tight box — high 98.190, low 97.672 — showing compression inside balance conditions. Price trades above mid-range, with a volume imbalance near 97.436 acting as a magnet for short-term rotation. Key liquidity rests just below 97.700, and reactions there could define early-week direction. Technical Map • Structure: Short-term bullish, still inside a broader weekly bearish framework. Watch 97.436–97.700 — a clean reaction zone where imbalance and liquidity converge. • Momentum: Range-bound bullish, confirming control but lacking expansion. A daily close above 98.190 opens the path toward the range high at 99.197. • Volume: Imbalance remains unfilled — ideal for mean-reversion setups before any breakout impulse. Fundamental Pulse (Week Ahead) • Macro Drivers: — US GDP advance data: key for growth tone. — Core PCE inflation: the Fed’s favored inflation gauge. — Fed speakers and PMIs: tone setters for November rate outlook. • Yields: — The 10-year sits near 4.6%. — A push higher = bullish Dollar, stronger short-term flows. — A pullback = potential consolidation across USD pairs. • Global Flows: — Mild rotation out of risk assets and emerging markets supports the Dollar. — EURUSD and XAUUSD both reflect this hesitation near key supports. Plan Bias stays bullish in the short term, bearish in the long term. We favor volume imbalance fills and reaction trades at 97.436–97.700 before re-evaluating structure. If macro data or yield spikes support Dollar demand, expect continuation toward 98.190+. Otherwise, a drift below 97.436 would signal distribution and confirm corrective pressure. “Structure is the compass; sentiment is the weather.” Mindset Pulse “Authority comes from clarity, not prediction.” Trade what’s confirmed — not what’s comfortable.

BTCUSD — Bearish range meets imbalance capBTCUSD - patience before momentum Date: Sunday, October 19 Timeframe: Daily Context Bitcoin remains inside a bearish range — with high of116.080 and low of 103.492. Price currently sits near the range low, trading into a discount zone the Fibonacci 50% retracement. The big question: Does price reject from the imbalance cap, or reclaim it and squeeze higher? Technical Map • Structure: Daily range remains intact. A daily imbalance cap sits above price in the premium area. If rejected, we confirm bearish continuation; if pierced, it signals structural weakness in sellers and possible momentum shift. • Momentum: Recent candles show mild bullish recovery. Wait for daily lows to start breaking before short continuation — patience here pays. • Volume: Heavy bearish volume node clusters near the 111.000 psychological level — expect reaction. Fundamental Pulse (Week Ahead) • Macro Drivers: Traders watch US GDP advance data, PCE inflation, and Fed speakers for cues on policy tone. • Yields: Rising yields could strengthen the Dollar — pressuring risk assets like Bitcoin. • Liquidity Context: Stablecoin flows and ETF net inflows have slowed; liquidity rotation favors defensive positioning. Plan Bias stays bearish unless structure proves otherwise. The ideal path: rejection from the imbalance cap and midrange confirmation lower. However, if Dollar strength eases or yields drop, that may unwind shorts — watch structure, not emotion. Remember: you trade your system, not your feelings. Mindset Pulse “You’re never lost when you know your map.” Structure is the map. Emotions are the fog. Wait for clarity — not excitement.

BITCOIN UpdateBitcoin — 104,716 POC in Play: Rotation or Breakdown? Context BTC remains trapped in a daily inside-bar range, digesting last week’s expansion. Structure shows fading momentum within value, signaling a potential bearish transition. Technical Map • Point of Control (POC): 104,716.97 (key range Level) — line in the sand between control and collapse. • Price Action: Low-volume compression near the POC; buyers fading as market pauses below mid-value. • Key Target: 103,516.75 — next liquidity shelf if sellers keep pressure. • Momentum: Bearish drift persists; initiative buying remains weak. • Invalidation: Daily close back above 104,716 flips tone to neutral-bullish. Fundamental Pulse Markets are in a macro digestion phase: • U.S. GDP & Core PCE data next week = volatility bottleneck ahead. • Fed speaker blackout window keeps tone muted. • Yields steady, crypto flows thin, and ETF inflows subdued — explaining the slow volume and cautious tape. This is the classic “positioning pause” before macro catalysts hit. Trade Plan Below 104,716, bias remains bearish toward 103,516.75. Mindset Pulse The chart breathes in before it exhales volatility.

The Market is a Mirror — Not a Battlefield“Most traders fight the market. The wise quietly observe — and realize they were fighting themselves.” Every trader begins with the same illusion: That the market is an opponent. That success means winning against it. But the truth is deeper — and quieter. The market doesn’t fight you, test you, or trick you. It simply reflects you : your fear, greed, patience, and discipline. Why Most Traders Struggle? When you call the market your enemy, you create conflict. You start reacting emotionally to every candle. You chase wins to heal your losses. You overtrade to prove your worth. And every chart becomes a battlefield of ego. The Mirror View Every loss points to your impatience. Every missed entry points to your need for control. Every winning trade tests your ability to stay humble. That’s not punishment — it’s reflection. When you begin to see this, your mindset changes: You stop forcing trades. You stop fighting. You start listening. How to Practice This Pause before every trade and ask: “What am I feeling?” Journal not just your entries, but your state of mind. Watch your reactions more than your P&L. Let silence between trades sharpen your awareness. Trading mastery isn’t found on the chart — It’s found in the mirror . The moment you stop fighting the market, you begin to understand it. 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror If this perspective resonates with you, share your reflection below — What do you see in your market mirror?

Order Blocks: Where Smart Money Leaves Its Footprints“The market doesn’t move randomly. Every big push leaves a shadow — a clue of who was in control.” That clue is what traders call an Order Block . What is an Order Block? An Order Block (OB) is the last bullish or bearish candle before a strong impulsive move in the opposite direction. Think of it as the area where institutions placed their orders to fuel that move. In an uptrend , look for the last down candle before a strong rally. In a downtrend , look for the last up candle before a sharp drop. These zones often act like magnets — price revisits them to “retest” before continuing. Why Do Order Blocks Matter? They reveal where the big money entered. They create high-probability zones for entries. They help traders avoid chasing moves at highs or lows. How to Spot an Order Block Identify a strong impulsive move (long-bodied candles, clear displacement). Mark the last opposite candle before that move. Wait for price to return to that zone. Look for LTF confirmation — a ChoCH, BOS, or rejection wick. Align with higher timeframe bias (H4/H1) for best results. Example Refer to the XAUUSD M15 chart above: Gold formed a strong bullish rally, leaving behind a bullish order block zone at 3764.5 – 3757.5 . When price retraced into this OB, it tapped liquidity from the stop area, then gave LTF confirmation (micro structure shift). This long setup delivered an impressive 1:8 RR rally for disciplined traders who waited for the OB mitigation and entry confirmation. Smart money doesn’t chase price — it waits for the market to come back home. But here’s the secret most traders miss: Order blocks alone are never the full story. They work best when combined with liquidity sweeps, structure shifts, and precise timing . That’s where the deeper edge lies — and it’s what separates surface-level knowledge from mastery. 📘 Shared by @ChartIsMirror
