NQ Short (forced trade)Well, this is a forced trade opp. It means that iam not very sure but i would take this opp anyways.
Here are my two cents. ES looks bullish to me, while NQ is bearish. Which is something odd.
Anyways, here is the trade. Be careful taking it with size, because iam very well could be wrong.
Good luck everyone!!
Futures market
GOLD XAUUSD GOLD ,the daily structure held buyers firmly at 4100-4099 level and they will face a strong daily rejection approaching the neckline of the daily double top structure at 4260-4255 zone .
the probability is high that buying will extend into this zone ,my argument is backed by daily ascending trend line cross and the daily retest.
if 4120 rejection holds then we will retest 4107 yesterday high and keep the buying into 4260-4255 zone .
GOODLUCK.
Excellent Profits on Bull run I announcedMy position: As I spotted #4,100.80 benchmark test, I started Buying Gold on each dip towards #4,116.80 first Resistance. On another #4,106.80 Support sweep, I engaged strong Buying orders towards #4,127.80 extension last night. I will continue Buying every dip on Gold from my key entry points. That is my practical suggestion.
My position: I have Bought Gold on multiple occasions throughout yesterday's session / each reversal I have Bought the dip ultimately towards #4,192.80 Resistance. I have awaited Gold to form a benchmark on #4,200.80 then I have waited this morning to re-Buy Gold multiple times from #4,227.80 towards #4,240.80 Resistance. I will continue Buying Gold from each reversal / dip as I await #4,201.80 - #4,211.80 to Buy more. Congratulations on spectacular Profits, making money on Gold became so easy / just stay with the trend.

Gold is expected to continue its decline next week!
On Friday, gold prices retreated from a three-week high, and a strange phenomenon occurred: the US dollar index and gold fell together. Recent strange occurrences include the end of the US government shutdown triggering a retreat in safe-haven demand, directly weakening some of gold's safe-haven appeal, yet gold continued to rise instead of falling. Then, the decline in the US dollar index, which should have supported gold prices, resulted in both gold and the dollar falling on Friday. While the reopening of the US government provided a short-term boost to market sentiment, the temporary funding agreement failed to resolve the fundamental issues. The bill only extends the federal government's operations until January 30, 2026, with some departments receiving funding until September 30, 2026. The risk of a government shutdown remains for the next few weeks, keeping market sentiment fragile and hindering a sustained recovery in risk appetite. Spot gold faced significant selling pressure. It fell as low as $4032 during the session, closing around $4085, a daily drop of approximately 2.07%, erasing most of the week's gains after retreating from Thursday's three-week high of $4245. Gold prices retreated from a three-week high as momentum waned. The dollar stabilized after Federal Reserve officials signaled caution regarding further monetary easing. Technically, a sustained break below $4,050 could trigger a pullback towards the $4,000 level.
According to the CME FedWatch Tool, the market is currently pricing in a 49% probability of a December rate cut, a significant drop from 94% a month ago. Traders will be watching for speeches from Federal Reserve officials later today, which could further influence interest rate expectations. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics announced a revised timeline Friday afternoon. The agency also stated that a September jobs report will be released on November 21 (next Friday). The Census Bureau said it will release its delayed September construction spending, inventory, and international trade data early next week. The Bureau of Economic Analysis has not yet indicated when it will release its preliminary third-quarter GDP figures. Other government reports showing September retail sales, wholesale prices, and trade data are likely to be released relatively quickly, as statistical agencies had already collected most of this information before the government shutdown and only need to process it. The positive impact of the end of the US government shutdown has diminished some of gold's safe-haven appeal. Meanwhile, a series of cautious comments from Federal Reserve officials prompted traders to lower their expectations for a December rate cut. The cooling prospect of short-term easing has pushed the dollar higher after its recent weakness, putting additional pressure on the non-yielding metal. Traders are currently awaiting delayed US economic data to gain a clearer picture of the Fed's monetary policy outlook. At the same time, renewed concerns about overvaluation in the artificial intelligence sector have weighed on global stock markets and dampened risk appetite, which could limit gold's downside as it moves towards a weekly rally.
Gold Weekly Analysis:
Gold experienced significant volatility this week. It surged in the first half of the week, but then nearly returned to its starting point in the last two days due to news events. Gold tested the 4245 level at the end of the week, and the end of the US government shutdown and hawkish comments from Federal Reserve officials led to a sharp correction, reaching a low of around 4032 before rebounding and consolidating. From a daily chart perspective, gold closed lower this week, with a nearly $180 swing on Friday, indicating significant downward pressure and a easing of bullish sentiment. However, I believe the bulls haven't completely lost control, and this could be seen as a short-term correction driven by fundamental factors. The key support level to watch is around 4000; if this level holds, the market may continue to consolidate. A decisive break below this level would target 3930 and the previous low of 3886. If we consider a 1:1 ratio on the daily chart, the downside target is around 3756. Without significant negative news, I believe the short-term outlook is somewhat challenging. However, if the price retests the support around 3885, bullish sentiment could vanish, and the overall trend will likely shift towards a correction. Therefore, the key levels to watch are 4000 and 3885. Holding these levels would open up further upside potential; otherwise, the bullish momentum may temporarily end.
From a daily chart perspective, yesterday's Asian session saw a strong rally to around 4211 before retreating. Influenced by selling after the shutdown, the US session saw a sharp drop to around 4032, a decline of approximately $180, resulting in a bearish close for the day. Based on the current trend, Monday should be viewed as bearish. Daily resistance is around 4155; if there's a rebound next week, this would be an ideal entry point for shorting. However, the overnight high was around 4111, so any downward movement will likely occur below this level. 1-hour resistance is around 4110; if this level holds on Monday, shorting is a viable strategy. The initial downside target is around 4065-4055, with a further target of 4032-4000 if it breaks below. Consider going long if the 4000 level holds, and if it breaks below, look for opportunities to go short on rallies. In summary, today's short-term trading strategy for gold is primarily to sell on rallies, with buying on dips as a secondary approach. Key resistance levels to watch are 4097-4100, and key support levels are 4030-4000. Traders must follow the trend closely. Manage your position size and stop-loss orders carefully, strictly adhere to stop-loss orders, and never hold losing positions.
$SILVER (6-HOUR): adding SIZE to my LONG right there:The quoted #Silver 4-hour chart shows a text-book inverted HEAD & SHOULDERS that played out perfectly and reached its $53.6 target.
I usually take profits on text-book breakouts, but this asset is an exception as I have higher targets in mind.
The attached 6-hour chart shows a correction that started after markets closed last Wednesday, followed by a wider market correction. Top stocks were bleeding heavily as well.
So many “traders” are calling this a DOUBLE TOP and they are just wrong.
Way too early imo, as TVC:SILVER is likely in a clear WAVE 5 rally during a re-accumulation phase (hence the rectangle with a breakout point at $54.5 and targeting $65.1). WAVE 5 on the daily, 12-hour and 6-hour charts. I like this confluence in EW.
RSI is oversold now, just like it recently was at the bottom of the inverted H&S. The 50 MA is acting as dynamic support at $49.6, and the 200 MA at $47.4 can be used as an invalidation point for my bullish thesis.
A dip to $47 would be fine as long as it gets bought up quickly. I will add to my long with conviction between $47 and $50.
Take-profit levels from my previous SILVER post remain unchanged.
$50 is dirt-cheap and people will realise it soon.

Another drop for goldHi traders,
Last week gold went up again and after it reached the bearish Daily FVG, it dropped again.
I think (grey) wave X is now finished.
So next week we could see a small correction up and another downmove to finish the bigger correction down.
After that it could go up again.
Let's see what price does and react.
Trade idea: Wait for a small correction up on a lower timeframe and a change in orderflow to bearish to trade short term shorts.
This shared post is only my point of view on what could be the next move in this pair based on my technical analysis.
But I react and trade on what I see in the chart, not what I've predicted or expect.
Don't be emotional, just trade your plan!

GOLD 1H CHART ROUTE MAP UPDATE & TRADING PLAN FOR THE WEEKHey Everyone,
Please see our updated 1h chart levels and targets for the coming week.
We are seeing price play between two weighted levels with a gap above at 4114 and a gap below at 4057. We will need to see ema5 cross and lock on either weighted level to determine the next range.
We will see levels tested side by side until one of the weighted levels break and lock to confirm direction for the next range.
We will keep the above in mind when taking buys from dips. Our updated levels and weighted levels will allow us to track the movement down and then catch bounces up.
We will continue to buy dips using our support levels taking 20 to 40 pips. As stated before each of our level structures give 20 to 40 pip bounces, which is enough for a nice entry and exit. If you back test the levels we shared every week for the past 24 months, you can see how effectively they were used to trade with or against short/mid term swings and trends.
The swing range give bigger bounces then our weighted levels that's the difference between weighted levels and swing ranges.

GOLD DAILY CHART ROUTE MAPHey everyone,
Here’s the Daily Chart idea we’ve been tracking. The swing move into 4145 has now produced a candle body close above that level, which keeps the long term gap open toward 4325. We also saw a rejection with a candle body close below 4145, leaving 3165 open beneath. However, note that this rejection touched the channel half line, which based on our uniquely drawn goldturn channel typically provides strong support.
We’re seeing that support play out now with a bounce off the half-line.
At the moment, our key levels are:
Primary support: Channel half-line
Secondary support: 3961
Primary resistance: 4145
Long range gap target: 4325, which becomes more significant if we see the EMA5 cross and hold above 4145.
We’ll keep everyone updated as the week progresses.

GOLD WEEKLY CHART MID/LONG TERM ROUTE MAPHey everyone,
Please see our weekly chart timeframe Routemap and Trading plans for the week ahead.
After securing 4059 last week, we now have a long range candle body close gap above at 4294, with 4059 acting as support. We can expect price action to play between these two levels. A further EMA5 cross and lock above 4059 will strengthen the gap toward 4294. Conversely, a candle body close back below 4059 would reopen the broader retracement range.
We’ll keep these long timeframe structures in mind as we continue with our plan to buy dips.
We will keep you all updated as this chart idea unfolds.
Mr Gold
MY EXPECTATION FOR THE WEEK Gold shifted to sells after it tested 4245 area and it closed to end the week around 4080-82, bears will likely continue with the downward push to any of these three levels before the buy start again, 4020, 4000 and 3960-30, with the 3960-30 area having a higher probability of starting the buy followed by 4000 ,
so there's a high chance the sell will reach 3960-30 before the buy start, but gold can start buying from any place it wants and whatever be the case there will be update throughout the week so it wouldn't be a big issue.
A sell after market open at anywhere within 4084-94 and an sl at 4111 with tp at 4000, 3965 or a minimum of 600 pips and a good confirmation of more sell is if price closes below 4055-53.
Continuation of last week's NQ tradeOur last trade worked well, even tho the Hopium final target was a stretch. However, that lower target is still possible with the current market structure.
This week we are first looking for more a of pull back to the GP, or a higher tap of the down TL to form a better LH. Then the abyss.
*We have tapped and lost the .5, so the S/R at 178 is another place to look for entries, but for HTF would prefer the GP being swept.
A TP must be taken at .25, leave runners for hopium. We must have 4hrs closing below the box to expect more downside. The 747 S/R area has been a great money printing level for weeks and is holding the market up for now.
XAUUSD - Liquidity Compression Before Major Breakout?🌐 MARKET CONTEXT
For the week of 17–21 November 2025, gold continues to move inside a wide H4 consolidation range, with two major liquidity extremes:
Upper Liquidity Zone: 4218–4220 → 4332–4334
Lower Liquidity Zone: 3980–3978 → 3890–3888
1️⃣ H4 Sentiment
Gold is trading below major H4 resistance, with no confirmed higher-timeframe bullish reversal yet.
Recent H4 candles show clear liquidity engineering, signaling that Smart Money is accumulating orders before a strong directional move.
2️⃣ Market Psychology
Slight risk-on environment, but gold retains safe-haven demand as the Dollar weakens.
Institutional traders appear to be positioning ahead of the FOMC Minutes.
3️⃣ Overall H4 Bias
Neutral → Bearish at the highs
Bullish → Reversal potential near the lows
Market likely continues:
Upper liquidity sweep → drop → test low-demand zones → rebound.
📉 H4 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS (SMC + LIQUIDITY)
Market Structure
H4 is in a descending structure, forming consistent Lower Highs.
Recent swing highs remain at 4218–4220 and the untouched major high at 4332–4334.
Liquidity Zones
4332–4334: Major Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) cluster, untouched for weeks.
3890–3888: Strong Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) cluster, respected multiple times.
Order Blocks & Imbalances
H4 Supply OB: 4330–4335 (untested).
H4 Demand OB: 3890–3888 (multi-TF confluence).
Large FVG between 3980–4040, likely to be filled.
🔑 H4 KEY PRICE ZONES
4332–4334 ▶️ Major H4 Supply – BSL Sweep Zone
High-impact liquidity level.
Price likely sweeps above before reversing strongly.
4218–4220 ▶️ Intraday Supply – Imbalance Fill Zone
Minor swing high with pockets of liquidity.
Consistent rejection in previous tests → ideal for quick scalp sells.
3980–3978 ▶️ H4 Intraday Demand – Scalp Buy Zone
Repeated small rejections indicate active Smart Money accumulation.
3890–3888 ▶️ Major H4 Demand – Strong Low Cluster
The strongest demand base on H4.
A very high-probability bullish reversal zone.
⚙️ TRADE SETUPS (H4 Confirmation Required)
🔻 SELL SETUP 1 – Sweep & Drop (High-Probability)
Entry: 4332–4334
Stoploss: 4339
TP1: 4300
TP2: 4220
TP3: 3980
Logic:
Major liquidity sweep + Supply OB mitigation → strong reversal expected.
🔻 SELL SETUP 2 – Intraday Supply Reject
Entry: 4218–4220
Stoploss: 4226
TP1: 4185
TP2: 4120
TP3: 4040
Logic:
Imbalance fill + weak high liquidity → fast rejection typical on H4.
🔺 BUY SETUP 1 – Intraday H4 Demand
Entry: 3980–3978
Stoploss: 3972
TP1: 4010
TP2: 4080
TP3: 4218
Logic:
SSL sweep + reaction from lower-range demand and FVG.
🔺 BUY SETUP 2 – Major H4 Reversal Zone (High-Probability)
Entry: 3890–3888
Stoploss: 3882
TP1: 3925
TP2: 3980
TP3: 4120 / Open
Logic:
Major H4 demand with strong low structure → ideal for swing entries.
🧠 H4 NOTES / SESSION PLAN
Focus on selling from high liquidity zones and buying from low liquidity zones.
All entries require H4 or M30–H1 confirmation (wick rejection, BOS, CHoCH).
Avoid trading inside the noisy mid-range 4040–4150.
Expect strong volatility around FOMC Minutes.
Patience is key—let liquidity be taken before entering.
🏁 CONCLUSION (H4 Bias Summary)
The XAUUSD playbook for 17–21 November 2025 is built around four major Smart Money zones:
4332–4334 → High-probability SELL
4218–4220 → Scalp SELL
3980–3978 → Scalp BUY
3890–3888 → High-probability BUY
These zones represent areas where Smart Money is most active, giving the best risk-to-reward setups for the week.

Trading Education: Understanding Liquidity (IRL & ERL)In technical analysis (especially SMC/ICT), most price movements are attempts to reach liquidity. This liquidity is what fuels major moves.
* IRL (Internal Range Liquidity): Liquidity located within a defined trading range. This is often represented by Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps (FVG), or liquidity pools inside the range.
* ERL (External Range Liquidity): Liquidity located outside the trading range, usually represented by Swing Highs and Swing Lows which act as Stop-Loss Pools.
🔄 The Philosophy of Price Movement
Price generally moves from IRL \to ERL or vice versa:
* IRL \to ERL (External Clearance): 🧹 After hitting/mitigating an imbalance or Order Block (IRL) within the range, the price will accelerate outwards to sweep (clear) the Stop-Losses located at the Swing Highs/Lows (ERL).
* ERL \to IRL (Internal Refill): ⛽ Once the ERL is cleared (liquidity sweep), the price tends to reverse to target and refill unmitigated imbalances or Order Blocks inside the range (IRL).
The takeaway: ERL acts as the primary target for liquidity clearance, while IRL is the area where "Smart Money" looks for entry points or reactions to continue the move.
