Explaning about MACDThe Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is a popular momentum indicator in technical analysis, created by Gerald Appel in the late 1970s. It helps identify trends and reversals by calculating the difference between two moving averages, typically based on historical closing prices.
Fundamental-analysis
Advanced Divergence Trading Basically, a divergence exists when your indicator does not “agree” with price action. Granted, this is very basic and we will now explore more advanced divergence concepts and see how to trade them, but it's important to build a solid foundation. Bearish and bullish divergence. Price and indicator are out of sync.
Option Trading An option is a contract that represents the right to buy or sell a financial product at an agreed-upon price for a specific period of time. You can typically buy and sell an options contract at any time before expiration. Options are available on numerous financial products, including equities, indices, and ETFs.
GOLD MARKET OUTLOOK Continuation of Bearish Structure Ahead FOMC🟡 GOLD MARKET OUTLOOK – Continuation of Bearish Structure Ahead of FOMC
The market continues to follow the bearish view we’ve held since the start of the week. As of today, price action is forming a descending triangle pattern toward the tip on M30–H1, within a compression zone between a declining trendline and a minor rising trendline.
🔍 Zooming out, the broader chart context shows a clear bear flag formation, and I remain biased toward a further drop into the 294x–293x zone in the coming sessions.
⚠️ Tonight’s US session brings the FOMC meeting, which may trigger high volatility and liquidity sweeps toward unfilled zones below current price. Be cautious!
📌 As long as price fails to break above 3075, there’s no confirmed shift in trend.
The 307x zone remains a key level for sellers — if unbroken, panic selling may intensify and buyers will remain sidelined.
🧠 Global equities are seeing a light rebound — led by late US session gains and some recovery in Asia & India today — but this seems more like a dead-cat bounce than true capital inflow.
→ Remember: CPI & PPI data are still due this week, so don’t rush to FOMO.

Support and Resistance part 2Support or resistance is determined by whether price is above or below the level identified by the trader. Generally, a trader can think of support being levels below price whereas resistance is formed above price. Levels of support and resistance can be formed in a few different ways.
Management and PsychologyAn understanding of psychological principles can profoundly enhance managerial capabilities. Recognising the various factors that influence human behaviour—including biases, perception, and social dynamics—enables managers to foster an environment that promotes efficiency, innovation, and well-being among team members.
Candle sticks pattern analysis part-2The bullish engulfing pattern and the ascending triangle pattern are considered among the most favorable candlestick patterns. As with other forms of technical analysis, it is important to look for bullish confirmation and understand that there are no guaranteed results.
GOLD UPDATE – FAKE NEWS SHOCKS MARKET INVESTORS GO FULL RISK-OFFGOLD UPDATE – FAKE NEWS SHOCKS MARKET, INVESTORS GO FULL RISK-OFF
Plan: Rejection + BIGSHORT scenario still in play
📉 U.S. Session Recap
Gold tanked aggressively during yesterday’s New York session after markets reacted to a “Fake News” headline suggesting a delay in the U.S. tariff policy. While the rumor was quickly denied by the White House, the psychological damage had already been done — triggering a sharp sell-off that sent Gold plunging back into the 295x zone, exactly as forecasted in AD’s earlier plan.
Meanwhile, U.S. equities stayed deep in the red, and the uncertainty continues to weigh on global markets.
🧠 Market Sentiment: “Cash Is King” Reignites
Investor sentiment is now fully fear-driven. Without a major calming headline or shift in macro tone, we’re likely to see more risk-off behavior and capital flight into cash and U.S. Treasuries.
📌 This shift may be strategic: if investors increasingly hoard USD and rotate into government bonds (currently more attractive than risk assets), it may signal a coordinated squeeze — possibly part of Trump’s broader economic maneuvering.
🔮 AD's Strategy
Until sentiment changes, we remain in SELL mode.
→ Look to short rallies until at least Wednesday, then reassess.

DXY Building Momentum — "Cash is King" Narrative Returns?📌 DXY is showing clear signs of recovery on the H4 timeframe — and that tells us something deeper: risk sentiment is shifting. Investors are pulling capital from risk-on assets and moving to cash. Yes, "Cash is King" might be making a comeback.
🔍 What’s Driving the Move?
As fear ripples through global markets:
📉 Equities are shaky.
🟡 Gold dropped sharply under profit-taking pressure.
🪙 Crypto lacks new capital.
Now, capital is rotating back into USD — not necessarily because of strong fundamentals, but due to defensive positioning.
🔺 On the geopolitical side, Trump’s aggressive tariff threats are shaking confidence. As import/export tension rises, the global appetite for USD-denominated assets (especially U.S. bonds) is also climbing.
🧭 Key Technical Levels (4H Chart)
Support Zones:
🟦 101.467 – historical structure low
🟦 102.113 – minor intraday demand
🟦 102.660 – neckline & retest zone (key area to hold)
Resistance Zones:
🟧 103.803 – consolidation top
🟥 104.506 – key resistance and EMA crossover zone
🟥 105.632 / 106.157 / 106.622 – higher-timeframe targets if momentum continues
🔮 Outlook by AD | Money Market Flow
The market is on the edge right now.
If U.S. equities fail to bounce and global risk sentiment continues to deteriorate, we could see: ✅ A strong USD breakout ✅ DXY bottoming and reclaiming the 104–106 zone ✅ Major asset correction across risk-on markets (Gold, Stocks, Crypto)
“When markets panic, smart money rotates to USD. It’s not bullishness — it’s protection.”
— AD | Money Market Flow
🔁 What to Watch:
Fed’s next steps (Will they ignore Trump’s tariffs and focus on growth?)
Global equity market reactions
Bond yields (demand for U.S. debt could rise again)
📌 Stay sharp and follow the money. DXY is giving early signals — don’t ignore the shift.
🧠 Manage risk. Protect capital. Let the market come to you.
GOLD WEEKLY OPEN – Sellers Hit Early, But Market Psychology🟡 GOLD WEEKLY OPEN – Sellers Hit Early, But Market Psychology Will Lead the Way
Gold kicked off the new week with a sharp drop during the Asian session, falling over 40 points from the previous highs (around 3018) down into the 297x zone. This reflects lingering sell pressure from the previous week’s volume.
However, gold quickly bounced back by nearly 40 points, confirming strong buy interest around 297x — a key level on the higher timeframes.
📌 This 297x zone is a critical support on H4/D1. A confirmed break below it could open the door for a deeper sell-off into 295x and beyond.
🔍 Technical Overview:
The broader trend on H4 and D1 still leans bullish.
However, psychological reactions from market participants are currently stronger than clean technical patterns.
On H1 and H2, price is now reacting to the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement.
A close below 3030 could trigger a renewed bearish move toward the 295x target.
🧠 Sentiment Will Drive Direction:
So far, only Asian and Australian sessions have participated.
We’ll need to monitor the London & US sessions closely to confirm directional conviction.
This is a sentiment-led market, not one purely ruled by structure → only trade from key zones with clean reaction signals.
🧭 KEY PRICE LEVELS:
🔺 Resistance:
3055 – 3076 – 3107
🔻 Support:
3024 – 3005 – 2970 – 2952
🎯 TRADE PLAN
🟢 BUY ZONE: 2980 – 2978

TP: 3072 – 3068 – 3064 – 3060 – 3056 – 3050
📅 Important this week:
Major data coming: CPI – PPI – FOMC Speeches → Expect potential spikes midweek. Stay alert, and I’ll update key reaction zones as the sessions unfold.
Stick to clear plans and always use TP/SL — capital protection comes first.
Good luck team,

GOLD CRASHES HARD — BUT THE BIG SHORT VIEW WAS ALREADY 🟡 GOLD CRASHES HARD — BUT THE BIG SHORT VIEW WAS ALREADY IN PLAY
Gold dropped — and dropped even harder than expected.
But for those following closely, this wasn’t a surprise.
From the start of April, we had been watching for signs of reversal after gold kept printing new ATHs. The candlestick behavior on the higher timeframes was already hinting at exhaustion — and today’s move validated that broader view.
🔍 Why I’ve Been Calling for a BIG SHORT — Not Just in Gold
This isn’t just about XAUUSD.
Zoom out and you’ll see the signs across the board:
US, EU, and Asian stock markets are in a steep decline
Crypto is stagnant, with no new capital inflow and little investor interest
And gold — after a historic run — is now facing intense profit-taking pressure, especially under growing geopolitical and global trade risks
In this environment, many investors are moving to cash and staying on the sidelines.
📉 DXY: A Potential Comeback?
The USD Index (DXY) has been heavily sold off in recent months.
But if you look closely — it's now testing a multi-year support zone that's held strong for nearly 3 years.
AD’s view?
If this level holds — and if recent tariff policies + international pressure from Trump continue — we could see a real USD recovery in the coming weeks.
Trump appears to be playing hardball — not just for his own benefit, but strategically for the U.S.
His aggressive trade moves are forcing nations to reconsider tariff terms. And in the short term, that puts Trump in a position of power — globally.
🤔 The Fed’s Dilemma
Even as Trump escalates trade pressure, the Fed remains cautious.
They’ve held back from rate cuts — waiting for clearer outcomes from these global negotiations.
All eyes are now on Trump’s next moves — and how other major economies will respond.
🔮 Strategy Moving Forward
Many investors are still in risk-off mode, hoarding cash and waiting for further declines.
AD still expects further downside in gold next week, alongside a potential short-term bounce in DXY.
→ After that, once the trade talk dust settles, we could very well see Gold resume its climb, while USD retests major supports on the D1 timeframe.
📌 I’ll be back with a full weekly outlook tomorrow, but for now — absorb this Gold/USD landscape and build your strategy for the new week.
Stay sharp & protect your capital.
