GOLD - BEARSIH STRUCTURE FORMING. WILL IT BREAK CHANNEL SUPPORT?Symbol - XAUUSD Gold has recently tested lower levels of rising channel and is now engaging with trend support, creating volatility in the market. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar is exerting downward pressure on the precious metal. Gold appears to be entering a corrective phase, with the market gradually shifting from a bullish to a bearish outlook due to increasing demand for the dollar, driven in part by concerns over potential trade wars arising from U.S. policies under former President Trump's administration. The issue of tariffs imposed by the U.S. remains unresolved. Meanwhile, traders are closely monitoring U.S. economic data, including durable goods orders and consumer confidence, as well as the Federal Reserve's upcoming meeting, with its outcome expected to be released on Wednesday. From a technical perspective, after the breakdown of the bullish market structure, the price is currently testing the support of the established channel. It is unlikely that this support level will be breached on the first attempt, and the price may experience a corrective move towards 2745 or potentially the imbalance zone, such as the 2750-2760 range, before resuming its downward trajectory due to selling pressure. Key resistance levels: 2745, 2751, 2760 Key support levels: 2735, 2718 If the price fails to breach the 2745 resistance level and retreats to 2735, this could signal a potential break of trend support. In that scenario, an impulsive move towards 2718 may materialize. However, if the 2745 resistance level is overcome, gold could test the 2750-2760 range before continuing its downward movement which is more likely.

Data TradingMarket data is a broad category of information about the financial markets, consisting of essential details like price, bid/ask quotes, trading volume, trading period (high, low, open, or closed), etc. Options trading is a type of financial trading that allows investors to buy or sell the right to purchase or sell an underlying asset at a fixed price, at a future date. Options trading operates on the basis that the buyer has the option to exercise the contract but is not under any obligation to do so.

PCR / Put Call RatioA PCR greater than 1 indicates that more put options are being traded than call options, suggesting a bearish market sentiment. Investors may expect a market decline or hedge against potential losses. PCR ratio = 1500/2000. = 0.75. Points to be noted: A PCR value below 1 is indicative of the fact that more Call options are being purchased relative to the Put options which signals that investors are anticipating a bullish outlook for the markets ahead. Contrarian indicator: Can signal potential market reversals with extreme values of the put/call ratio. An example of this is a put/call ratio of 2.5. This can suggest a very bearish sentiment while a put/call ratio such as 0.25, could indicate an extreme bullish sentiment.

Support and Resistance 'Support' and 'resistance' are terms for two respective levels on a price chart that appear to limit the market's range of movement. The support level is where the price regularly stops falling and bounces back up, while the resistance level is where the price normally stops rising and dips back down. The basic strategy is to buy at the support level and sell at the resistance level, recognizing that these are zones of potential demand and supply changes. How does resistance work?

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS is DEAD...The Golden Days of Technical Analysis Are Behind Us—But Not for the Reasons You Think Technical analysis (TA) has been the backbone of trading for decades. Patterns, indicators, and price action strategies have helped traders navigate the markets, and they continue to do so. But here’s the problem—many traders don’t realize that TA isn’t failing them; their own biases and psychological blind spots are. The Ego Trap: Seeing What You Want to See In Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman explores how our brain is wired to recognize patterns, even when they don’t exist. This leads to confirmation bias, where traders see a breakout forming because they want it to happen—not because it’s actually happening. For example, a trader spots an "inverse head and shoulders" pattern and immediately assumes the market is about to reverse. If the trade works, they credit their skill. If it fails, they blame the market. Rarely do they consider that their emotions, rather than TA itself, dictated their trade decision. This is where System 1 thinking (fast, intuitive, emotional) takes over. Instead of logically assessing risk and trade probabilities, traders rush in based on gut feelings. System 2 thinking (slow, rational, calculated) is what separates professionals from amateurs. Technical Analysis Works—If You Do TA hasn’t lost its edge. It works just as well as it always has. The issue is that most traders don’t use it properly. Instead of treating it as a tool for probabilities, they use it as a crystal ball, expecting certainty where there is none. A moving average crossover, a Fibonacci retracement, or a support zone isn’t a magic button—it’s a trigger for decision-making, nothing more. The real edge comes from: ✅ Context – Understanding market conditions, volume, and liquidity. ✅ Risk Management – No pattern works 100% of the time, but managing risk ensures long-term survival. ✅ Discipline – Sticking to a system without letting emotions take over. The Real Issue Isn’t TA—It’s You The reason many traders feel TA "doesn’t work" is because they don’t apply it correctly. They cherry-pick winning trades and ignore the losers, reinforcing their ego rather than refining their strategy. Instead of blaming the market, successful traders: Understand liquidity zones – Big players don’t trade based on MACD crossovers; they hunt liquidity where retail stops are placed. Combine TA with patience – The best setups take time. Rushing into trades out of fear of missing out (FOMO) is a losing game. Master psychology – A perfect setup means nothing if emotions cause you to exit too early or take unnecessary risks. Final Thoughts Technical analysis isn’t the problem. It never was. The real issue is how traders use it—often as a way to enforce their own ego, rather than as a tool for making high-probability decisions. The golden days of TA aren’t gone—it’s just that only those who master their psychology, risk, and strategy will truly make it work like a charm.

SOLUSD ANALYSISSolana (SOL/USD) is in a consolidation phase within a range on the H4 timeframe, repeatedly taking support from its 200 EMA. This suggests a potential breakout scenario. 🚀 Possible Trade Setups: Breakout Above the Box (Bullish Scenario) If SOL/USD breaks the resistance of the consolidation range with strong volume, it could trigger an upward momentum. Targets: Measure the height of the box and project it upwards. Confirmation: Look for a candle close above the range + increased volume. Breakdown Below the Box (Bearish Scenario) If SOL/USD breaks below the support of the box and the 200 EMA, it may lead to strong downward movement. Targets: Similar to the bullish scenario, measure the box’s height and project it downward. Confirmation: A candle close below the range with strong volume. Key Things to Watch: ✅ Volume increase on breakout. ✅ Retest of the breakout level (flip of support/resistance). ✅ Market sentiment and BTC movement (as SOL is correlated).
