BTCUSD | This Chart is Crazy...I Warned YouHello traders, Comparing the 2021 and 2025 charts patterns could drive you crazy. The similarities looks ridiculous at this point. The structure is being repeated almost identical but mirrored. I know this chart might look crazy, but we all have been in this market for long enough to be crazy anyway. I'm sorry, I just can't unsee it! I'm seeing a move towards +$100k is very likely to happen to trap dumb money in. Then we can predict where market might go from there. Downhill. Let me know what y'all think down in the comments.

4H chart, BTCUSDT. the 4H chart, BTCUSDT is consolidating in a tight range, holding above a rising trendline, while repeatedly rejecting from the same 93,500–94,500 resistance block. The price is trading near rising support from the Ichimoku Cloud and lows of 82,000–83,000. Local horizontal support is now around 89,000–89,100, and if the trendline fails, deeper support is at 84,584 and 80,550. As long as candles close above the trendline and 89,000, the setup favors another attempt to break the red resistance band; a clean 4H close above 94.5k would create room for a move towards 96,000–100,000. A decisive break below the diagonal plus 89k level reveals a move first to 84.5k and then to 80.5k, where the larger, higher-timeframe demand zone and previous bounce began. DYOR | NFA

Gold Wave Analysis – 12 December 2025 - Gold reversed from strong resistance level 4350.00 - Likely to fall to support level 4200.00 Gold recently reversed from the resistance area between the strong resistance level 4350.00 (which stopped sharp wave (3) in October) and the upper daily Bollinger Band. The downward reversal from this resistance area stopped the previous impulse waves iii and 3 of the intermediate impulse wave (5). Given the strength of the resistance level 4350.00 and the overbought daily Stochastic, Gold can be expected to fall to the next support level 4200.00.

US100 Liquidity Reaction at Accumulation Box Volume ProfileThis analysis is based on a Volume Profile anchored to the most recent accumulation box in order to isolate the active auction. The goal is to understand whether price is accepting value or rejecting it, rather than attempting to predict direction. US100 recently attempted to trade above the upper value region but failed to hold acceptance. Price is now rotating back into the composite range, suggesting a transition from expansion to balance. Volume Profile Perspective The anchored Volume Profile highlights where the majority of recent transactions occurred. These levels define fair value and serve as decision points for continuation or rotation. Price is currently interacting with a key acceptance area that has previously acted as both support and resistance. This makes it a critical zone for determining short-term control. Key Reference Levels Upper distribution and rejection zone from prior highs Value acceptance area defined by the anchored profile Lower value boundary and high-volume support Lower composite distribution below value These levels are treated as reaction zones, not precise turning points. Expected Market Paths Path One: Continued Rejection and Rotation Lower If price fails to reclaim acceptance above the value area and continues to form lower highs, rotation toward the lower value boundary becomes the higher probability outcome. Acceptance below value would open the path toward the next lower composite distribution. Path Two: Reacceptance Into Value If price reclaims the value area and holds above it with acceptance, rotation back toward the upper distribution becomes likely. In this case, the prior rejection zone would act as the next area to evaluate for continuation or rejection. Execution Considerations This environment favors patience and reaction over anticipation. Trades are best evaluated at value boundaries rather than inside the range. Acceptance and rejection should be confirmed through structure and follow-through, not single candles. This is a contextual market analysis, not a trading signal. Summary US100 is currently trading within a decision zone defined by an accumulation-based Volume Profile. The next directional move depends on whether price accepts back above value or continues to reject and rotate lower. Letting the market confirm intent at these levels is critical.

EUR USD Bullish Continuation SetupThis chart highlights a strong bullish structure developing on the EUR USD pair. After a period of sideways consolidation price broke out with momentum and formed a clean bullish flag pattern suggesting continuation to the upside. The rising trendline is supporting the move and the flag breakout points toward two potential upside target zones at 1.17783 and 1.18202. Overall the setup signals strong buyer interest and the potential for further bullish extension.

Ripple (XRP): Looking For Break of 200EMA | BullishXRP is stuck between the established support and the EMAs, so price is getting squeezed. This usually leads to a stronger move once one side gives in. Buyers are still holding the support area well, but they need a clean MSB and a push above the EMAs to take back momentum. If buyers manage to reclaim that zone and secure above the EMAs, we can expect a healthier push toward the upper range. Until then, this remains a tight consolidation with pressure building up.

RCL: Stop Guessing. The Path to $300 ExplainedRCL: Stop Guessing. The Path to $300 Explained Most traders try to catch a falling knife. They see a price drop, they think it’s cheap, and they buy. Then it drops again. They get cut. But professionals don't guess . We wait for the floor to become solid. We wait for the market to TELL us it is ready to move. Look at the chart of NYSE:RCL I have shared. The market just screamed a clear message, and you need to hear it. The Psychology of the "W" Do not just look at the lines, look at the story. We have a textbook Double Bottom . This "W" shape is powerful for one reason: Exhaustion . First V: Sellers pushed the price down. Buyers stepped in. Second V: Sellers tried one last time to break the low. They FAILED. That failure is your signal. It means the sellers are gone, and the buyers are taking control. Statistically, this setup has a 78% success rate . Those are odds I like to play. The Truth Serum: Volume A pattern without volume is just a drawing. A pattern with volume is a breakout. Look at the bottom of the chart. When the price broke the yellow neckline at $272.82 , it didn't just drift over the line. It EXPLODED through it with a massive spike in volume. That green volume bar tells you that Institutional Money has entered the room. They aren't testing the waters, they are committing . The Consequence: The Road to $300 Now that the trap has sprung, where does the price go? When we analyze the measured move (the height of the W projected upwards) and look at the Volume Profile on the right, the resistance disappears. The heavy traffic is behind us. The path of least resistance is now UP. The first psychological magnet is $300 . My Battle Plan for RCL Now you see the pattern. You see the target. But seeing is not executing. Executing a good entry is easy, but the exit strategy is 80% of the game . Knowing exactly where to place your Stop Loss to survive the volatility, and where your Take Profits maximize returns, that is the art. I also apply a specific Risk-Free Trade management strategy. While I can't explain the full mechanic in this post, this technique drastically reduces even more the stress and pushes the probability of a successful outcome to over 90% . Here are the levels I would use to set-and-forget for a Zen Trading experience: 🎯 Take Profit: White lines ($290-300) | > 6% Potential 🛡️ Stop Loss: $265 Zone (Below the breakout) | ~ 3% Risk ⚖️ Risk/Reward: 2:1 Ratio (Winners pay double the cost of losers) 🎁 Let’s make a simple deal. I will handle the heavy lifting to find the top 1% of setups like this, and you just HIT the 🚀 Rocket and Follow. If you scroll past now, the algorithm might ensure we never meet again. Secure the connection and I promise to keep these high-probability setups coming. Sounds like a fair trade, right? 🤝 Deal?

Bank of America Flirts with HistoryBank of America has plodded higher for months, and now it’s flirting with history. The first pattern on today’s chart is the $55.08 level. It was the previous all-time high from 2006, before the global financial crisis. BAC suffered a 95 percent drawdown from that peak and has now returned to the same historic line. That could keep traders on guard for a potential breakout. Second, the megabank has made a series of higher lows while staying above its rising 50-day simple moving average. Is an intermediate-term uptrend in effect? Next, MACD is rising and the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) is above the 21-day EMA. Those patterns may reflect short-term bullishness.

Gold Weekly Trend: XAU/USD Ready to SurgeGold Weekly Trend: XAU/USD Ready to Surge Gold closes the week with a steady bullish profile, maintaining a structure that reflects strong positioning from larger market participants. The weekly flow shows a market that continues to rotate upward through liquidity pockets while holding firm during corrective phases. This week’s behavior indicates that buyers remain active on every controlled retracement, keeping the overall structure balanced and directional. The price continues to move in a sequence of expansion → stabilisation → renewed expansion, which is a common pattern when the market is preparing for sustained upside development. Underlying order flow suggests that Gold is still within a broad accumulation cycle at higher levels, where the market repeatedly absorbs sell-side attempts and transitions back into bullish pressure. The consistency of this pattern signals confidence from long-term participants and reduces the probability of a structural shift at this stage. As the week closes, the overall environment remains favorable for continued appreciation. Price is advancing in a measured, orderly fashion rather than showing signs of exhaustion. This steady progression typically precedes multi-week continuation phases, especially when liquidity objectives remain active above current trading levels.

How Price Really Moves: 4 Entry Triggers Driven by LiquidityThis breakdown explains four recurring entry triggers that appear consistently across real market structure. These are not indicators and not prediction tools. They are observable behaviors driven by liquidity, positioning, and trader psychology. Each trigger is rooted in why price moves, not what price might do next. 1. Fading breakout traders (Failed Momentum / Trap Model) When price breaks a key level and open interest jumps, breakout traders rush in expecting continuation. If price quickly snaps back, those new traders become trapped and their exits fuel a move in the opposite direction. This creates one of the cleanest reversal triggers since you are trading directly against failed momentum. ► What usually happens Markets frequently approach obvious highs, lows, or range boundaries where: •Retail breakout traders anticipate continuation •Algorithms and short-term momentum systems enter aggressively •Open interest or volume often expands rapidly At this moment, new positions are created late , directly into resistance or support. ► The key failure If price: •Breaks a key level •Fails to hold acceptance beyond it •Quickly closes back inside the prior range Then the breakout has failed structurally. This means: •Buyers who entered above resistance are now trapped •Sellers who entered below support are trapped •Their exits (stops + panic closes) become fuel for the opposite move ► Why this works Markets move efficiently when traders are positioned correctly. They move violently when traders are positioned incorrectly. A failed breakout converts hope-based positions into forced exits. ► Educational takeaway You are not trading the level, you are trading the failure of belief at the level. This is why failed breakouts often produce: •Fast reversals •Clean directional candles •Strong continuation after rejection 2. Liquidation flushes (Forced Exit & Rebalance Model) Sharp liquidation events create long wicks and temporary price inefficiencies. Markets tend to rebalance after these shocks as liquidity returns, which is why these wicks often get filled quickly. This setup works well in volatile phases and near exhaustion points where forced selling or buying pushes price too far. ► What a liquidation flush is A liquidation flush occurs when: •Price moves aggressively in one direction •Overleveraged positions are forcibly closed •Stops and liquidations cascade simultaneously This often creates: •Long wicks •One-sided impulsive candles •Temporary price inefficiencies Importantly, this move is not driven by new conviction, but by forced exits. ► What happens after Once forced liquidations are complete: •Selling or buying pressure rapidly decreases •Liquidity returns to the market •Price frequently retraces part or all of the wick This retracement is not random it is the market rebalancing after stress. ► Where flushes matter most Liquidation flushes are most meaningful when they occur: •Near prior highs/lows •At range extremes •After extended directional moves •During high-volatility sessions ► Educational takeaway A liquidation wick does not mean “strong trend”. It often means the move is temporarily exhausted. You are not trading momentum, you are trading the absence of remaining pressure. 3. Orderblocks Orderblocks are zones where previous heavy participation occurred, usually during sideways movements before a strong move away. When price revisits these levels, the same participants often defend the area, creating reliable reaction points. Clean pivots with no messy wicks are the strongest since they signal clear institutional activity. ► What an orderblock represents Orderblocks are areas where: •Large participants accumulated or distributed positions •Price moved sideways briefly •A strong directional move followed immediately after This sideways phase exists because large players cannot enter all at once without moving price against themselves. ► Why orderblocks matter •When price returns to these zones: •Previous participants may still be active •Unfilled orders may remain •Defensive reactions are more likely than random continuation Clean orderblocks typically show: •Tight consolidation •Minimal wicks •Strong departure afterward Messy structures often indicate mixed participation and weaker reactions. ► How orderblocks are used Orderblocks are reaction zones , not signals. They provide: •Logical areas to expect interest •Defined risk zones •Context for entry triggers like wicks or failed breaks ► Educational takeaway Orderblocks work because institutions remember their prices , even if retail traders forget them. You are trading where participation previously mattered, not arbitrary support or resistance. 4. London session liquidity setup London frequently sets the daily low or high early in the session. Later in the day price often returns to sweep internal liquidity around that level before continuing the trend. This repeatable behavior offers structured entries based on predictable liquidity grabs tied to session mechanics. ► Why London matters The London session is: •One of the highest liquidity windows globally •Often responsible for setting the initial daily structure •Heavily watched by institutions and algorithms In many markets, London establishes: •The daily high •The daily low Or a key internal liquidity level early in the session ► The repeatable behavior Later in the day (often London continuation or New York): •Price returns to that London high or low •Sweeps internal liquidity around it •Rejects after stops are collected •Continues in the higher-timeframe direction This is not coincidence, it is session-based liquidity engineering. ► Why it works Institutions prefer: •Liquidity-rich entries •Known pools of resting stops •Session transitions for execution London levels provide exactly that. ► Educational takeaway Sessions are not just time zones, they are liquidity cycles. Understanding when liquidity is created is just as important as where. How These Triggers Fit Together These models are not standalone strategies. They are contextual tools. Very often: •A London sweep causes a liquidation wick •A failed breakout forms at an orderblock •A liquidation flush completes a failed momentum move The strongest setups occur when multiple triggers overlap , but each can stand alone as a learning framework. Why These Triggers Work Long-Term They work because they are based on: • Trader positioning • Forced behavior (stops, liquidations) • Institutional execution constraints • Repeating session mechanics They do not rely on: •Indicator crossovers •Lagging calculations •Pattern prediction Price moves because someone is forced to act. These triggers show where and why that happens. These 4 triggers work because they exploit trapped traders, forced liquidations and consistent liquidity patterns rather than relying on indicators. Keep them simple, wait for clean context and let the setups come to you. Note These concepts are: •Descriptive, not predictive •Contextual, not mechanical •Dependent on execution skill and risk management The goal is not to trade more, it is to wait for situations where the market gives you an advantage.

Gold Analysis: Fed Cut Ignites Rally Toward $4,300 TargetFXOPEN:XAUUSD GOLD ANALYSIS Bulls Target $4,300 as Fed Cut Sparks Fresh Momentum (Dec 12, 2025) Welcome back to Trade with DECRYPTERS 🌍 MARKET OVERVIEW Gold climbed to $4,224 on December 11, hitting a one month high after the Fed’s 25bps cut weakened the dollar and boosted safe-haven demand. Lower real yields and expectations of further easing in 2026 kept bullish momentum strong, supported by heavy central-bank buying led by China. Geopolitical tensions, including the U.S. seizure of a Venezuelan tanker, added extra upside fuel. Silver also broke records above $64/oz, reflecting broad strength across precious metals. Analysts now eye $4,300–$4,400 into year-end, with volatility likely around upcoming NFP data. 📊 KEY FUNDAMENTALS • Current Price: $4,268/oz (slightly lower intraday, -0.3%) • Valuation Context: ~137% above 20-year avg.; ATH at $4,381 (Oct 2025) • Global Reserves: ~36,000 tonnes; U.S. holds 8,133 tonnes (23% of total) • Supply (Q3 2025): 1,313 tonnes — mine output 825t (+1.5% YoY) + recycled 344t (+6% YoY) • Demand (Q3 2025): 1,313 tonnes (+3% YoY) driven by central-bank buying (220t Q3; 634t YTD) & strong investment flows • YTD Performance: +61%, outperforming S&P 500 by 2.4× • Outlook: Structural bullishness intact; 12-month forecasts near $4,465/oz 🌐 GEOPOLITICS 1️⃣ Russia Ukraine War • Persistent conflict, sanctions, and NATO tensions keep volatility elevated • Safe-haven demand remains strong 2️⃣ U.S. China Trade Tensions • Trump’s 100% tariffs reignite the trade war, weakening USD • BRICS pushback & China’s gold accumulation accelerate de-dollarization 3️⃣ Middle East Instability • Gaza escalation & Iran-backed proxy attacks heighten global risk • Temporary dips but repeated surges above $4,000 4️⃣ De Dollarization & BRICS Strategy • Central banks accelerate gold buying to hedge USD weaponization • 95% of global central bankers plan further gold purchases in 2026 5️⃣ Global Debt & Systemic Risks • $324T global debt and U.S. $2T deficits fuel inflation fears • Gold gains long-term support as trust in fiat declines 🔄 RISK-ON / RISK-OFF ANALYSIS Gold’s +61% YTD surge reflects classic RORO flows, supported by stable yields & a weaker dollar. With the 10-year at 4.16%, opportunity costs stay low. Only a rise toward 4.5% could pressure prices back toward $4,000. The DXY at 98.38 enhances gold affordability, where each 1% drop historically adds 0.5–1% to gold, amplified by 500+ tonnes of central bank buying. Despite a low VIX (15.41) and strong equities (+30% YTD), gold continues to rally an unusual divergence driven by tariffs, inflation risk, and persistent geopolitical tensions. A VIX spike above 20 typically accelerates gold, while deep risk-on conditions may cause a 10 to 12% pullback. 📰 KEY INSIGHTS FROM CREDIBLE SOURCES • Goldman Sachs reaffirmed a $4,900 target citing massive central-bank demand • Gold & silver jumped ~1% on Fed dovishness & liquidity expansion (TGA -$78B) • Fed plans to buy short end Treasuries → weaker USD → stronger gold • Trump’s “run it hot” growth narrative boosts expectations of lower real yields ✅ CONCLUSION Gold remains strongly bullish as macro conditions, Fed easing, and central bank accumulation create a solid structural floor above $4,150. Pullbacks are temporary, while geopolitical tensions and tariff-driven USD weakness support moves toward $4,300 - $4,400. Subdued real yields keep opportunity costs low, and even in risk-on markets, gold's resilience highlights deep institutional demand. Momentum favors upside continuation into year-end unless yields spike aggressively. 🙌 SUPPORT THE ANALYSIS If this breakdown added value to your trading: 👍 Drop a like 💬 Comment your levels 📈 Share your charts with the community Let’s grow together.
