Bitcoin at the Top of Wedge – Bearish Reversal Coming Again?As I expected in yesterday’s idea , Bitcoin dropped to the $107,800 level, hitting its target . In the last few hours, BTC started to pump again and is now trading near a cluster of resistances : the 100_SMA(Daily) , the 50_SMA(Daily) , and Cumulative Short Liquidation($117,517-$116,020) . This creates a strong resistance , and I don’t think Bitcoin will easily break through it. ( As of the time of writing, there’s no fresh news influencing the market .) From an Elliott Wave perspective, it looks like Bitcoin is forming a Triple Three Correction(WXYXZ ). On the Classical Technical side, Bitcoin is at the top of an ascending broadening wedge pattern , which is a reversal pattern . There’s also a Regular Bearish Divergence (RD-) between the two peaks in this pattern. I expect that in the coming hours, Bitcoin will start to drop again. After breaking the important $111,000 level , it could fall at least to the lower line of the ascending broadening wedge . Note: In these past few days, the Bitcoin and crypto market have been quite volatile and driven by news, especially related to US-China tensions. So always manage your risk carefully and avoid impulsive decisions based on sudden headlines. New CME Gap: $107,690-$107,220 Cumulative Long Liquidation: $107,105-$104,297 Cumulative Short Liquidation: $115,241-$113,454 Stop Loss(SL): $116,200 Please respect each other's ideas and express them politely if you agree or disagree.

Breakout or Fake-Out? Corn Just Kissed Its Support!1. The Setup Corn’s doing exactly what disciplined traders hoped for — pulling back to the same UFO support zone that powered the earlier wedge breakout. On the 8-hour chart, price just kissed that 418–411 area… a textbook retest where new buyers could reload the bushels. 2. The Context We saw this coming. The initial breakout looked flashy, but the volume delta wasn’t convinced — it stayed soft. Now that price has tapped into the unfilled-order pocket, watch to see if the delta turns positive again. That’s the “ignition spark” that often separates real breakouts from fakes. 3. The Game Plan The playbook hasn’t changed — only the timing has improved. 🎯 Entry idea: around 418 support 🛑 Stop: 411 (below the UFO zone) 📈 Targets: 430 and 442 ⚖️ Reward-to-Risk ≈ 3:1 This is patience in action — waiting for the market to come to you instead of chasing it. 4. The Specs ZC – Corn Futures: 5 000 bushels · Tick = ¼ ¢ ($12.50) · ≈ $1 000 margin MZC – Micro Corn Futures: 500 bushels · Tick = ½ ¢ ($2.50) · ≈ $100 margin Same analysis, smaller bite size — perfect for managing exposure while keeping precision. 5. The Takeaway Volume shows what’s already been eaten; UnFilled Orders at support show what’s still on the table. Corn just revisited the buffet — now we wait to see if buyers come back for seconds. 🌽🔥 Want More Depth?

BTC - History Doesn’t Repeat, But It Rhymes!Bitcoin has always been a market of patterns, and when you zoom out, the weekly chart tells a familiar story. 🏹 Each major bull cycle follows a similar rhythm : a strong rally, a sharp correction, a fakeout below support, and then another impulsive leg higher. We’ve seen this movie before. In 2023, BTC broke its structure briefly before continuing its climb. Again in 2024, the market dipped below the trendline, shaking out late buyers, only to bounce and push to new highs. Now, in 2025, we’re testing that same rising trendline once again, showing another possible “fakeout before takeoff” scenario. 🔄If history continues to rhyme, this pullback could mark the final correction before BTC resumes its journey toward the upper boundary of the rising channel - possibly into the 150K–160K zone over the next phase. But if this time is different and BTC fails to reclaim the trendline, we could witness a longer consolidation phase before the next major impulse. The key remains the same: watch the weekly close around the trendline. Each time BTC dipped below and reclaimed it, the next move was explosive. History might not repeat perfectly - but it tends to rhyme beautifully. 📊All Strategies Are Good; If Managed Properly! ~Richard Nasr

Breakout or Fake-Out — Corn’s Price Action Under the Microscope1. When Breakouts Lie Few things in trading are more exciting than a clean breakout. But for every breakout that soars, there’s another that fakes out and traps eager traders. Corn Futures (ZC) on the 8-hour chart just gave us that classic test — a breakout from a falling wedge that has traders asking: Is this the real thing, or another false alarm? The pattern looks textbook. Price compressed lower within a wedge and broke above its upper trendline. However, the true strength of any breakout lies not in the pattern itself, but in the story told by volume and order flow. That’s what we’ll unpack in this article — using ZC (Corn Futures) and MZC (Micro Corn Futures) as our guide. 2. The Falling Wedge in Focus Falling wedges often represent market exhaustion, where selling pressure slows and buyers quietly begin to accumulate positions. On the Corn Futures 8-hour chart, price has indeed pushed beyond the wedge’s descending resistance line — the visual signal that usually excites breakout traders. But structure alone doesn’t make a sustainable move. Beneath the surface, the UFO support and resistance levels — zones of UnFilled Orders — provide the invisible scaffolding that can support or reject price movement. In this case: Support Zone: 418–411 Resistance Levels: 430 and 442 These areas represent pending potential new support and resistance areas where buy and sell orders that can act as launchpads or barriers. The key is to see how the market interacts with them while volume builds or fades. 3. The Volume Delta Story Here’s where things get interesting. Volume Delta — the difference between buy and sell volume — shows us who’s winning the tug-of-war between buyers and sellers. During the wedge formation, the maximum delta reached +1.05K, indicating meaningful buying activity despite the downtrend. But as the breakout unfolded, delta turned slightly negative. In plain terms, fewer new buyers are stepping in — and without new buying energy, breakouts often lose traction. That’s a classic setup for a potential fake-out: price pokes above the wedge, but order flow doesn’t confirm. This mismatch between technical breakout and volume delta is often the canary in the coal mine for fading momentum. 4. The Trade Logic — Let the Market Come to You Instead of chasing the breakout, the smarter play here could be to wait for the market to revisit demand/support. Why? Because that’s where new volume tends to enter — where pending buy orders (the UFOs) become filled, strengthening the delta and giving the move fresh fuel. A potential plan might look like this: Entry: 418 (within support) Stop-Loss: 411 (below the zone) Target 1: 430 (first resistance, partial exit) Target 2: 442 (final resistance, full exit) This setup maintains a clear reward-to-risk ratio above 3:1, assuming disciplined execution and volatility-adjusted sizing. It’s not about prediction — it’s about preparation. Waiting for retracement allows participation in a confirmed move, rather than reacting to emotional excitement at the breakout. 5. Contract Specifications & Margin Requirements Understanding your instrument is as important as reading your chart. Here’s what traders should know about these CME-listed Corn contracts: ZC – Corn Futures (Standard Contract) Contract Size: 5,000 bushels Tick Size: ¼ cent per bushel (0.0025) → Tick Value = $12.50 Approx. Margin: Around $1,000 USD, varying by broker and volatility MZC – Micro Corn Futures Contract Size: 500 bushels (1/10th of ZC) Tick Size: ½ cent per bushel (0.0050) → Tick Value = $2.50 Approx. Margin: Around $100 USD, varying by broker and subject to market conditions Micro contracts allow smaller-scale traders to apply the same analysis and structure as the full-size contract, but with controlled risk exposure — a major advantage for capital management. 6. When New Volume is Injected in the Market Think of Volume Delta as a glance in the rear-view mirror — it tells us what’s already been filled. On the other hand, analyzing support and resistance levels with the idea of where new unfilled orders might come in helps us prepare to enter trades just before momentum potentially reactivates. When both are combined: Rising delta confirms a healthier follow-through on breakouts. Negative delta near resistance warns of a likely fading move. Key support and resistance zones show where resting orders could inject new volume. 7. Risk Management — Protect Before You Project Every solid trade plan starts with a stop. For this setup, a logical stop below 411 ensures protection if the wedge breakout fails completely. Scaling out at 430 reduces exposure early, locking gains in case the move stalls. Always size positions relative to account equity and volatility — the most underrated edge in trading is survival. The best traders don’t just hunt profits — they hunt consistency. Managing risk transforms a potentially stressful market environment into a structured decision process. 8. CME Context & Final Thoughts Both ZC and MZC are cornerstone agricultural contracts traded on the CME Group’s CBOT exchange, giving traders exposure to one of the world’s most economically significant commodities. While the setup we’ve explored is a case study, the takeaway extends beyond Corn: Breakouts need participation. Volume confirms conviction. Key support and resistance levels reveal intention. In markets where fake-outs are common, aligning technical structure, order flow, and patient trade planning gives traders the clearest edge of all — confidence grounded in data, not emotion.

FTSE 100 Outlook: Twin Bullish Signals Point to Fresh HighsFresh record highs for the FTSE 100 contract may be on the cards, with consecutive bullish signals pointing to growing upside risks. The first arrived on Friday with a hammer candle on the daily chart, rebounding strongly after testing the 50-day moving average. That was followed on Monday by another large bullish bar that saw the price break out of the falling wedge pattern it had been trading in for much of the past month. The breakout points to the risk of further upside ahead, putting the record high of 9,579 set on October 8 on the menu for bulls. Given the twin bullish signals, traders may want to consider initiating longs around these levels or slightly lower, targeting 9,485 or the record highs. Stop placement should reflect the desired risk-reward you’re seeking from the trade. RSI (14) has broken its downtrend and now sits in marginally bullish territory. MACD also remains in positive territory despite crossing the signal line from above earlier this month and is now starting to flatten out. Combined, the two indicators suggest diminishing bullish momentum may be in the early stages of building again, improving the probability of the breakout playing out in full. Good luck! DS

PDS Ltd (NSE: PDSLTD)After months of steady decline, price is trying to form a short-term base near 295–300. It has reclaimed the 23.6 % Fib zone and is testing 316 resistance a daily close above this could open room toward 343 to 357. Support at₹294 to 280 if losing those would resume the downtrend. Fundamentally, PDS remains a key player in apparel sourcing with strong global links. but slower export demand and margin pressure have kept the trend weak. Any rebound in orders or rupee depreciation could help it recover. Bias: Watch 320 for breakout confirmation. Below 294 = caution above 320 = potential trend reversal. This chart is for educational use only and not a buy/sell recommendation.

No Trading Zone: Between $2,258 – $2,815 (uncertainty/consolidation area). Price Target: If price breaks below, Target 1 is indicated around $1,800 or below (implied from structure). Current Price: Trading at $2,748.56, up +5.05%, within the “No Trading Zone”. Summary: The chart suggests waiting for a breakout or breakdown from the wedge pattern to determine the next move. A breakout above $2,815 could signal a buy opportunity, while a breakdown below $2,258 could trigger a sell with a potential target near $1,800. Ask ChatGPT

When Everyone’s Buying, I’m Watching for the TopAs we’ve grown used to by now, Gold sets a new ATH almost every day — and by the time we, in Europe, wake up, it’s already 300–400 pips higher. Yet despite the strong bullish momentum, speculative trading remains extremely difficult. Sudden drops of hundreds of pips can easily hit your stop loss if your entry timing isn’t perfect. From my perspective — even though I don’t have an open position — the idea remains the same: a correction is inevitable. Since Friday’s low, the price has rallied around 3,000 pips — a fabulous move, but like any late-stage rally, it’s becoming excessive and irrational (even more than it already was). Of course, it can always go higher, but the more it exaggerates, the faster it tends to normalize. As I mentioned before, my approach remains focused on identifying potential tops — and while that’s the riskiest thing a trader can do, it has worked quite well during the sharp downward spikes of the last two weeks. Technically, the move from Friday’s low is forming a rising wedge, with resistance around 4270, which is where I’ll be looking to sell. The target zone is roughly 1,000 pips lower. One encouraging factor — even more so than before — is the noticeable narrowing of the spread between futures and spot, now at just 0.2–0.25%, compared to the usual ~1% (and sometimes higher) during strong bullish phases.

EURUSD Short: Targeting the 1.1560 Demand ZoneHello, traders! The prior market structure for EURUSD was a complex downward wedge, from which the price eventually broke out and entered the current consolidation range. This range has been established between the 1.1795 supply 2 level and a demand zone at the lows, with the price action rotating between these two key boundaries. Currently, the auction is at a critical inflection point. After bouncing twice from the demand zone at the bottom of the range, the price has rallied back up to test the key horizontal supply at the 1.1670 level. After a brief test, the price has been rejected from this area, showing that sellers are in control here. My scenario for the development of events is a continuation of this decline from the supply level. I believe this rejection confirms the range is still active and that the next logical move is a rotation back down to the lows. In my opinion, the bearish initiative from this rejection will be strong enough to push the price to the demand zone. The take-profit is therefore set at 1.1560. Manage your risk!

S&P500 | Mild CrashRisk assets looking to sell off as the stock market tops out around $6,800. Current price action is only pulling back to test sellers again and we should see a continuation in selling until mid November and hopefully to see a Christmas rally to end the year off. Since price action awfully looks similar to '24 - '25 Fractal we could say the SPX will look to top next year February/March also considering we're on correction 4 in the Elliott Wave Theory. Would like to see the S&P bottom out around April - July months of next year at $5,600 if we can continue the bullish parallel trend.

Price Action Key for FTSE 100With momentum indicators generating neutral signals and the price resting on support, there are numerous two-way trades to consider in the FTSE 100 contract. 9360 is the level to watch in the short term, coinciding with the high set on August 22. Since being established, it has provided resistance and support, making it a decent level to build setups around. If we see a clean break beneath 9360, shorts could be established below the level with a tight stop above for protection, targeting either 9315 (the intersection of former triangle resistance and wedge support), the 50-day moving average at 9271, or 9200, depending on the desired risk-reward you’re seeking from the trade. Alternatively, if the price manages to reclaim 9360 and hold there, the setup could be flipped, allowing for longs to be established above with a stop below for protection. Given the falling wedge pattern the contract finds itself coiling in, convention suggests that if we see a break of downtrend resistance around 9440 today, it could see the price revisit the swing high of 9579 set earlier this month. Resistance at 9485 provides another option for those seeking less from the setup. There is no firm directional signal from either RSI (14) or MACD, sitting in either neutral territory or indicating waning bullish strength. Price action should therefore take precedence when it comes to trade selection. Good luck! DS

GBPUSD Breaks Out of Descending WedgeGBPUSD has broken the descending wedge formation to the upside. The move came alongside a falling dollar index and a drop in gilt yields. Expectations for BOE rate cuts have increased following dovish comments from Bank of England members, particularly Governor Bailey, who focused on signs of weakness in the labor market. Normally, rising dovish expectations would weigh on a currency, but the market has interpreted the fall in already high yields as positive for the pound. On Tuesday, the unemployment rate unexpectedly rose to 4.8 percent from 4.7 percent. However, today’s narrower trade deficit and mild GDP growth figures were both supportive for GBP. With the wedge now broken, upward pressure is likely to continue. Before another leg higher, GBPUSD may retest the broken wedge around the 1.3360–1.3390 zone. If this area holds, any short-term pullback could create buying opportunities toward levels above 1.35.
