EUR/USD – Triangle Breakout After Fed’s Cautious CutThe Fed cut rates by 25 bps, but Powell’s cautious tone killed the dovish mood — hinting this might be the last cut for a while. That shift powered the USD back up, leaving the euro on the defensive.
Technically, EUR/USD broke out below a contracting triangle that had been squeezing price for days. The breakout near 1.1615 shows that the range has resolved to the downside, confirming fresh bearish momentum. As long as the pair trades below 1.1650, I’m eyeing 1.1550–1.1530 as the next target zone.
For me, both sides align perfectly — fundamental disappointment + technical breakout = clean bearish setup.
Trend Analysis
Bitcoin Approaches Key Resistance — Bulls Eye 117K BreakoutHello traders, I want to share my view on Bitcoin (BTCUSD). The current market structure shows a gradual recovery phase following the previous breakdown from a large range near the 118,000 level. After a sharp decline and retest of the 106,400 support zone, the market found strong buying interest, forming a new ascending channel structure. This setup has been characterized by steady higher highs and higher lows, confirming the presence of short-term bullish momentum. At this stage, BTCUSD is approaching a key resistance level around 116,000, which aligns with both the upper boundary of the current channel and the prior horizontal resistance zone — a region that previously acted as a strong supply area. This confluence suggests that the market could face a short-term pause or pullback before attempting another bullish impulse. My primary scenario anticipates that if the price holds above the support line near 113,000–113,500, buyers may maintain control and push toward the 117,000 target (TP1) — the next logical resistance level and the top of the channel. However, a clear rejection from 116,000 without follow-through could open the door to a corrective pullback toward 110,500–111,000 for another demand test. In my opinion, the structure remains bullish in the short term, as long as the lower boundary of the ascending channel holds. Therefore, I continue to favor a long scenario with a TP at 117,000, expecting a potential breakout or test of the upper resistance. Please share this idea with your friends and click Boost 🚀
Fed Overview: The Good and the Not So GoodDriven by an euphoric phase, the S&P 500 has approached 7,000 points, nearing its 2000 valuation record, with six consecutive months of gains without retracement.
The key question for investors is now clear: has the Federal Reserve provided enough justification for this confidence, or does Jerome Powell’s caution mark the beginning of the end of this euphoric phase?
1) A Fed slowing the pace without complacency
On Wednesday, October 29, the Fed announced another 25-basis-point rate cut, bringing the federal funds rate into the 3.75%–4.00% range. This is the second consecutive reduction, aimed at countering the labor market slowdown.
However, the FOMC vote revealed strong internal divisions: one member wanted a deeper cut, another preferred no change. This reflects the delicate balance between supporting employment and avoiding renewed inflationary pressure.
Another key signal: the Fed decided to pause its balance sheet reduction (quantitative tightening) starting December 1st, in order to preserve financial system liquidity, as credit markets show early signs of stress. Powell clarified that this pause does not imply a lasting return to an expansionary stance.
Finally, Powell cooled expectations for another rate cut in December, stating that “nothing is guaranteed.” Money markets now price roughly a 70% chance of a hold in December, down from nearly 90% odds of a cut before the meeting.
2) Between monetary realism and market excess
The Fed is not ruling out further easing, but it refuses to fuel a bullish rally in the S&P 500 that is now considered excessive relative to fundamentals.
Current valuations rely heavily on expectations of continued rate cuts. If that narrative weakens, the likelihood of a technical correction in the S&P 500 rises.
At this stage, however, the index has not yet signaled a reversal.

GOLD ; How far down?Hello friends
Well, after the good rise we had, the price needed a correction, which happened with a double top pattern.
Now the main question is, how far will the fall go?
Well, in the short term, the price can fall to the specified limits, and if the support areas are broken, the fall will continue, and on the other hand, an important resistance has been created, which the price needs to break for the new ATH.
With this decline, it is unlikely that the price will suffer for a while and correct because it has grown a lot and everything will end one day...
Support levels can be good points for buying, of course with capital and risk management.

Phemex Analysis #110: TRUMP’s Strong Week (So Far)Since Monday, TRUMP has been grinding higher from the mid-$7s, shaking out late shorts and building momentum into Thursday. Spot participation improved, funding cooled, and the tape now reads “accumulation with intent,” not a one-off spike. The real question: does this push have enough fuel to clear the next band of resistance, or do we need a reset before the next leg?
Possible Scenarios
1) Momentum Extension — Break and Run
After a strong run so far this week, price continues to stair-step higher. A decisive break-and-hold above $8.40 puts the next supply zones in play at $8.80 and $9.50; if momentum persists, $11.90 is the stretch target.
Pro Tips:
Entry: Wait for a clean break-and-hold above $8.80 on rising volume; avoid front-running wicks.
Risk: Initial stop just below the recent low (e.g., $8.40).
Exits: Scale profits into $11.90, leave a runner toward $14.70 with a trailing stop.
2) Cool-Off & Coil — Range Before the Next Move
After this fabulous run since Monday, TRUMP cools into a $7.20–$8.80 box. Volatility compresses, open interest normalizes, and the market builds energy for the next decisive push.
Pro Tips:
Plan the box: Accumulate closer to $7.20–$7.60; trim exposure into $8.60–$8.80.
Grid-friendly: A light long-grid near the lower third can harvest chop while you wait for a breakout cue.
Break tells: A volume expansion at the range edge often telegraphs direction—react, don’t predict.
3) Giveback & Reset — Bears Take a Swing
If momentum stalls and price loses $7.00 on strong sell volume, the path opens to $6.00–$5.00 (psychological) and, in a sharper risk-off, $4.00. That would convert this week’s move into a lower-high failure.
Pro Tips:
Defense first: Cut risk on a daily close below $7.00; don’t fight a heavy tape.
Buy-the-dip only with signals: Look for stabilization (shrinking candles, waning sell volume, higher-low attempts) before scaling bids at $6.00–$5.00.
Flip criteria: A strong reclaim of the lost level with follow-through breadth.
Conclusion
TRUMP has delivered an impressive week so far—enough to earn the benefit of the doubt if it can convert momentum into structure. Trade the if/then map: press strength through $8.80, play the box while it coils, and respect the downside if $7.00 snaps. Let the levels—and only the levels—decide the story’s next chapter.

Gold 1H - Intraday Trading Plan
📅 Date: October 29, 2025 | Session Update: 13:00 VN Time
📈 Market Context
Gold remains under pressure after yesterday’s failed recovery above the $4,030 mark.
Stronger U.S. economic data and firm Treasury yields continue to weigh on the metal, while investors await upcoming inflation expectations data for further direction.
Despite short-term bearish sentiment, the $3,975 – $4,000 region continues to act as a key liquidity and accumulation zone, where large orders from institutional players may still be positioned.
For today’s session, expect choppy movement within $3,970 – $4,040, with possible liquidity sweeps around both ends before the next impulsive leg forms.
🔎 Technical Outlook (1H / Smart Money Concept)
Overall market structure: Corrective, following a failure to hold above $4,050 in the previous session.
Liquidity grab: Below $3,980 and above $4,030 has created short-term imbalance zones.
Discount demand zone: $3,975 – $3,985
Premium supply zone: $4,035 – $4,050
A confirmed BOS (Break of Structure) above $4,015 on the 15M timeframe would signal a potential bullish intraday reversal.
🟢 Buy Setup (Reversal / Accumulation Bias)
Entry Zone: 3,975 – 3,985
Stop-Loss: 3,968
Take-Profit Targets:
→ TP1: 4,015
→ TP2: 4,035
→ TP3: 4,060
Rationale:
Price continues to respect the psychological level at $4,000, suggesting possible accumulation.
Wait for BOS or ChoCH confirmation on M15 before executing buy positions.
A push above $4,015 could signal the start of a reaccumulation phase toward the premium zone.
🔴 Sell Setup (Continuation Scenario)
Entry Zone: 4,035 – 4,050
Stop-Loss: 4,062
Take-Profit Targets:
→ TP1: 4,010
→ TP2: 3,980
→ TP3: 3,950
Rationale:
The $4,035 – $4,050 area aligns with a premium pricing zone, where short-term sellers may defend liquidity.
Look for bearish ChoCH confirmation on the lower timeframe to confirm rejection.
This setup favors continuation trades in case gold fails to reclaim the intraday structure.
⚠️ Risk Management Tips
Avoid entries during major U.S. data releases — high volatility can trigger fakeouts and wide spreads.
Always wait for clear market structure confirmation before execution.
Take partial profits at near-term liquidity pools and trail stop-loss as the trade progresses.
Keep your risk per position below 1% — volatility remains elevated within this tight range.
✅ Summary
Gold is consolidating near the $4,000 key support zone, showing early signs of reaccumulation but still lacking confirmation.
A break and hold above $4,015 could ignite a short-term bullish move toward $4,050 – $4,060.
Conversely, a clean break below $3,970 would likely expose $3,950 and extend the bearish correction.
Patience and structure confirmation remain the key — liquidity traps are likely before any clear directional move.

EURUSD Shorterm Forecast on 4hrsOn shorterm bases price reversed at 1.16 and is heading high. My target is at 1.1680 but I think it will touch 1.17 again and seems like it will go higher to 1.185. For now, price will not go to 1.15 as I initially thought (currently there are no indications of the reversal of uptrend on minor timeframes). Shortterm I had to change my stance for bullish on 4 hrs due to the price action which developed last week due to US CPI release and continued government shutdown in the USA.
However longterm, we will be reversing before 1.20. EURUSD tends to range a lot though. So it will stay in this area for a while.
Watch the minor downtrend (lower highs on daily). I think price is likely to violate the last lower high on daily.

📈 Weekly Scenarios
Bullish scenario: SOL holds above ~$190, breaks through ~$260.83 → start of uptrend → target ~$300+.
Consolidation: price trades between ~$190 and ~$260, wave structure not defined until breakout.
Bearish scenario: breakout of support at ~$190 with volume → likelihood of a significant correction to ~$150–$160.
✅ Conclusion
Solana is at a key decision point for the coming week:
The ~$260.83 level is a benchmark for a bullish resumption.
The ~$190 level is a critical support level.
A breakout upward will provide upward momentum; a breakout downwards is likely a pullback. Follow price reactions at the highlighted levels and confirmation of the wave structure before making trading decisions.
