XAUUSD (H4) – Monday StrategyGeopolitical shock risk, gold may spike | Trade liquidity and reaction zones only
Quick summary
News around Trump’s claim that Maduro has been detained, plus Venezuela’s response (they don’t know his and his wife’s whereabouts and are demanding proof of life), raises geopolitical uncertainty sharply. For gold, that’s a classic catalyst for a gap/spike at Monday open.
So my rule for Monday: no FOMO, only trade liquidity zones and confirmed reactions on the chart.
1) Macro context: Why gold can surge on Monday
Rising geopolitical tension often drives flows into safe-haven assets like gold.
When facts are unclear and tensions escalate, the market can open with:
✅ sharp spikes, ✅ liquidity sweeps, ✅ wider spreads.
➡️ Best approach: wait for price to hit levels, then trade the reaction — not the headline.
2) Technical view (H4 – based on your chart)
Gold is currently moving inside a larger structure after a heavy move, and your chart highlights the key zones clearly:
Key zones
Sell test support 4450 (pullback area where price may get sold)
Liquidity 4330 (major liquidity magnet)
OB 4309 (order block / short-term reaction zone)
Support 4277 (intermediate support)
Buy zone 4203–4206 (deep support / swing buy area)
3) Monday trading scenarios (Liam style: trade the level)
Scenario A (priority): Spike up → SELL around 4450
✅ If gold pumps on the headline at the open:
Sell around 4450 (sell-test zone)
SL: above the most recent swing high (refine on lower TF)
TP1: 4330
TP2: 4309
TP3: 4277
Logic: Headline-driven opens often spike to sweep buy-side liquidity first, then rotate back into value/liquidity.
Scenario B: Sweep down → BUY at liquidity zones
✅ If price gets pulled down first:
Buy around 4330 (Liquidity)
Buy confirmation at 4309 (OB)
SL (guide): below 4300
TP: 4380 → 4450 (scale out)
Logic: 4330 is a major liquidity magnet and often produces a sharp reaction bounce.
Scenario C (worst-case dump): BUY the deep support 4203–4206
✅ If volatility is extreme and price flushes:
Buy: 4203 – 4206
SL: 4195
TP: 4277 → 4330
Logic: This is a deep swing-buy area if the market does a hard liquidity reset.
4) Key notes for a headline-driven Monday open
Avoid trading the first 5–10 minutes if spreads widen.
Only enter once price hits the level and shows a clear reaction (rejection / engulf / MSS on M15).
Reduce size — geopolitical opens can whip hard.
Do you think Monday’s move sweeps up into 4450 first, or drops straight into 4330 liquidity?
BTC PredictionI’ll analyze what your BTCUSD (Daily) chart is showing and what to expect next, based strictly on the structure you marked (A-B-C-D + wedge/triangle).
🔍 What the chart is telling
1️⃣ Market structure
Strong downtrend from ~115k → 90k (below 50 & 200 EMA).
Price is now consolidating inside a descending / contracting triangle (wedge).
You’ve marked a harmonic-like ABCD corrective structure after the impulse drop.
This is not accumulation yet — it’s a bearish continuation setup unless proven otherwise.
2️⃣ EMA & Trend context
Price below 50 EMA (yellow) & 200 EMA (black) → bearish bias
EMAs are sloping down, acting as dynamic resistance
Repeated rejection near 92k–93k zone
➡️ Trend is still DOWN.
3️⃣ Triangle / Wedge interpretation
Lower highs + slightly higher lows
Volume contraction (implied)
This pattern usually resolves in the direction of the prior trend
📌 Prior trend = DOWN, so breakdown probability is higher
🎯 Key Levels to Watch
Resistance (very important)
92,800 – 93,200 → strong supply + EMA resistance
99,900 – 100,000 → major trendline resistance (unlikely without breakout)
Support
90,500 – 91,000 → current support (make-or-break zone)
85,000
78,000 – 76,000
71,600 (major weekly support)
📉 Most Probable Scenarios
🔴 Scenario 1: Bearish Breakdown (HIGH probability)
If daily candle closes below 90,500:
Target 1: 85,000
Target 2: 78,000
Target 3: 71,600
This matches your green downside projection box ✔️
🟢 Scenario 2: Bullish Invalidity (LOW probability)
Only if:
Daily close above 93,500
Then reclaim 95,000
And finally break 100,000 with volume
Until then → all upside is just a pullback
🧠 Smart Trading Advice (very important)
❌ Avoid long positions inside the triangle
✅ Trade breakout or breakdown only
For investors: wait near 78k–72k zone for accumulation
Risk is still high
🧾 Summary
Structure: Bearish continuation
Pattern: Descending triangle / corrective ABCD
Bias: Down
Expectation: Breakdown before any major rally
MarketOmorph — Weekly Structural Update - Silver (XAGUSD)Silver remains in a volatile consolidation phase after a sharp advance. While price swings have expanded, the internal structure continues to show overlap rather than impulsive continuation or reversal.
Volatility alone does not confirm trend resolution. The higher-degree structure remains intact, and the market is still digesting prior strength.
Patience is required until structure provides confirmation.

MarketOmorph — Weekly Structural Update - Gold (XAUUSD)Gold continues to trade in alignment with its higher-timeframe structure. Following a strong advance, price action has shifted into a consolidation phase dominated by overlap and reduced momentum.
Recent volatility reflects time-based digestion rather than impulsive trend reversal. No cycle-degree structural damage is visible at this stage.
As long as the broader structure remains intact, current behavior should be viewed as consolidation within a larger trend, not confirmation of a new directional leg.

IREDA – Neo Wave Time-Based Impulse SetupThe prior impulse completed in approximately 155 bars, followed by a corrective phase that has already consumed around 367 bars, resulting in a time ratio of about 2.36, which confirms a complex correction under Neo Wave time rules rather than a trend reversal.
The corrective structure is interpreted as a W–X–Y–X–Z combination, supported by overlapping price action, contracting volatility, and declining momentum.
Two corrective trendlines are drawn to control directional bias: trendline 1 marks the broader corrective resistance, and trendline 2 represents the internal corrective structure.
A new impulse will be considered valid only after price decisively breaks and closes above trendline 2, which would confirm the start of impulse wave 1.
No entry is planned on the breakout itself; the focus is on waiting for a corrective pullback that holds above 50 percent of the last X-wave, qualifying this retracement as corrective wave 2.
A long entry will be considered only after wave 2 is complete and price breaks the internal pullback structure, signaling the beginning of impulse wave 3.
Any failure to break trendline 2, or any move back below 50 percent of wave X, keeps the structure corrective and invalidates the bullish impulse scenario.
This setup is based on Neo Wave time exhaustion and structural confirmation, with the objective of participating in wave 3 rather than predicting the market bottom.

XAUUSD (D1) – Elliott ABC pattern activeLana sells the pullback, waits to buy at major liquidity 💛
Quick summary
Timeframe: Daily (D1)
Elliott view: Price is likely developing an ABC corrective structure after a strong rally
Strategy: Sell the B-wave pullback into supply, buy only when price returns to strong liquidity
Context: Precious metals started 2026 strong, but short-term volatility and re-accumulation swings are still expected
Fundamental backdrop (supports the bigger trend)
Gold and silver opened 2026 with strong momentum, extending the best run since the late 1970s. Goldman Sachs remains bullish on precious metals and continues to highlight an aggressive long-term target (around $4,900 for gold).
Lana’s key point: the long-term bull cycle can remain intact, but the market still needs healthy corrections to reset liquidity and build new structure.
Technical view (D1) – Elliott ABC structure
On the Daily chart, after the powerful top, gold dropped sharply, forming a clean Wave A. The current structure suggests:
Wave B: a corrective rebound into resistance/supply
Wave C: a potential move back down into liquidity zones before the next major direction is confirmed
This ABC lens helps avoid getting trapped when the news looks bullish, but price is still in a corrective phase.
Key levels from the chart
1) Sell zone (B-wave supply)
Sell: 4435 – 4440
This zone aligns with marked resistance and a Fibonacci pullback cluster (0.236 / 0.382). If price retraces here and shows rejection, it’s a strong area to look for B-wave selling pressure.
2) Buy zone (major liquidity – potential C-wave completion)
Buy Liquidity: 4196 – 4200
This is the strongest liquidity area on the chart. If Wave C plays out, Lana will look for buying opportunities here with clearer risk control.
3) Deeper accumulation liquidity
Accumulate liquidity: the lower accumulation area highlighted on the chart
If the market sweeps deeper than expected, this is the region where longer-term buyers may step in.
Trading plan (Lana’s approach)
Primary idea: Sell rallies into 4435–4440 if price shows weakness (B-wave rejection).
Primary buy plan: Wait for price to revisit 4196–4200 and confirm support (liquidity absorption).
If price breaks and holds above the sell zone, Lana stops selling and waits for a new structure to form.
Note on early-year behavior
The first weeks of the year often bring “messy” moves as liquidity returns and positioning resets. Lana will only trade at planned zones and avoid entries in the middle of the range.
This is Lana’s personal market view and not financial advice.

Chart Patterns Psychology Behind Chart Patterns
Every pattern tells a story.
If price is rising and then starts forming a reversal pattern, it might indicate that buyers are losing strength or institutions are booking profits.
If price is consolidating in a continuation pattern, it signals that the market is resting before the next big move.
Key psychological elements include:
Support – A price level where buyers consistently enter
Resistance – A price level where sellers consistently enter
Breakout – When price moves above resistance
Breakdown – When price moves below support
Retest – Price returning to confirm a breakout or breakdown
Volume – Strengthens validity of patterns
The combination of these elements creates chart patterns that traders learn to interpret.

Pair Trading and Statistical ArbitrageMarket-Neutral Strategies for Consistent Returns
Pair trading and statistical arbitrage are advanced trading strategies that fall under the broader category of quantitative and market-neutral investing. These strategies are widely used by hedge funds, proprietary trading desks, and sophisticated traders who aim to generate consistent returns regardless of overall market direction. Rather than predicting whether markets will rise or fall, pair trading and statistical arbitrage focus on relative price movements, mean reversion, and statistical relationships between financial instruments. Understanding these strategies provides valuable insight into how professional traders exploit inefficiencies in financial markets.
Understanding Pair Trading
Pair trading is a market-neutral strategy that involves taking two opposite positions in highly correlated securities—one long (buy) and one short (sell). The core assumption behind pair trading is mean reversion, which suggests that the historical relationship between two similar assets will eventually return to its long-term average if it temporarily diverges.
For example, consider two companies in the same industry, such as two large private banks or two IT service firms. Because their businesses, revenue drivers, and market exposures are similar, their stock prices tend to move together over time. If one stock becomes relatively overpriced compared to the other due to short-term news, sentiment, or temporary demand-supply imbalance, a trader may short the overpriced stock and go long on the underpriced one. When the price spread between the two converges back to normal, profits are realized.
One of the key strengths of pair trading is its reduced exposure to overall market risk. Since the trader is both long and short, gains depend mainly on the relative performance of the two assets rather than on whether the market is bullish or bearish. This makes pair trading particularly attractive during volatile or sideways markets.
Key Components of Pair Trading
The success of pair trading depends on several critical elements. First is pair selection. Traders typically use correlation analysis, cointegration tests, or fundamental similarity to identify suitable pairs. High correlation alone is not enough; the relationship must be stable over time.
Second is spread calculation, which measures the price difference or ratio between the two assets. Traders define statistical boundaries, such as standard deviations from the mean, to determine entry and exit points.
Third is risk management. Even historically strong relationships can break down due to structural changes like mergers, regulatory shifts, or business model disruptions. Stop-loss rules and position sizing are essential to control losses when mean reversion fails.
Introduction to Statistical Arbitrage
Statistical arbitrage (often called stat arb) is an extension and generalization of pair trading. While pair trading focuses on two assets, statistical arbitrage involves large portfolios of securities, sophisticated mathematical models, and automated execution systems. The objective is to exploit small, temporary pricing inefficiencies across many instruments simultaneously.
Statistical arbitrage strategies rely heavily on historical data, probability theory, and statistical modeling. Instead of relying on intuition or discretionary analysis, these strategies identify patterns, anomalies, or predictable behaviors in asset prices. Trades are often held for short periods—ranging from seconds to days—and executed at high frequency.
Unlike traditional arbitrage, which seeks risk-free profits, statistical arbitrage accepts controlled statistical risk, assuming that profits will emerge over a large number of trades due to the law of large numbers.
Core Principles Behind Statistical Arbitrage
At the heart of statistical arbitrage lies the concept of mean reversion and factor modeling. Securities are grouped based on common risk factors such as industry, market capitalization, valuation metrics, or momentum characteristics. When a security deviates significantly from what the model predicts, the strategy takes a position expecting reversion.
Another critical principle is diversification across trades. Individual trades may fail, but the portfolio as a whole is designed to generate positive expected returns. This is why statistical arbitrage strategies often involve hundreds or thousands of positions at once.
Technology plays a crucial role in stat arb. Advanced algorithms, machine learning models, and powerful computing infrastructure are used to process massive datasets, generate signals, manage risk, and execute trades efficiently.
Pair Trading vs. Statistical Arbitrage
While pair trading and statistical arbitrage share common foundations, they differ in scope and complexity. Pair trading is simpler, more transparent, and often suitable for individual traders or small funds. It typically involves longer holding periods and fewer instruments.
Statistical arbitrage, on the other hand, is more complex and capital-intensive. It requires deep quantitative expertise, robust data pipelines, and automated systems. The holding periods are usually shorter, and transaction costs play a more significant role.
Despite these differences, both strategies aim to neutralize market risk and profit from relative mispricing, making them valuable tools in uncertain market environments.
Advantages of These Strategies
One major advantage of pair trading and statistical arbitrage is market neutrality. Since exposure to broad market movements is limited, these strategies can perform well even during market downturns or high volatility.
Another advantage is consistency. Rather than relying on big directional moves, profits are generated from frequent, smaller price corrections. This can lead to smoother equity curves when executed properly.
These strategies also encourage discipline and data-driven decision-making, reducing emotional bias and impulsive trading—common pitfalls for many traders.
Risks and Limitations
Despite their appeal, pair trading and statistical arbitrage are not risk-free. One major risk is model breakdown. Historical relationships may change due to structural shifts in the economy, industry disruptions, or changes in regulation.
Another challenge is execution risk and transaction costs. Since these strategies often involve frequent trading, slippage, commissions, and liquidity constraints can significantly impact profitability.
Crowding risk is also important. When too many participants use similar models, opportunities diminish, and sudden unwinds can lead to sharp losses.
Conclusion
Pair trading and statistical arbitrage represent a sophisticated approach to trading that emphasizes relative value, statistical analysis, and risk neutrality. Pair trading offers a practical entry point for traders interested in quantitative strategies, while statistical arbitrage represents a highly advanced evolution suited to professional environments. Both strategies highlight an important truth about modern financial markets: profits do not always come from predicting direction, but from understanding relationships, probabilities, and inefficiencies. When combined with robust risk management and disciplined execution, pair trading and statistical arbitrage can be powerful tools for generating consistent, long-term returns.
The Present and Shaping the Future of Financial MarketsFutures Trading:
Futures trading is one of the most important pillars of modern financial markets. It plays a critical role in price discovery, risk management, speculation, and market efficiency across commodities, equities, currencies, interest rates, and cryptocurrencies. As global markets evolve with technology, regulation, and changing investor behavior, futures trading continues to adapt, making it an essential subject for traders, investors, institutions, and policymakers alike. This detailed explanation explores what futures trading is, how it works, its advantages and risks, and how the future of futures trading is likely to unfold.
What Is Futures Trading?
Futures trading involves buying or selling a standardized contract that obligates the buyer to purchase, and the seller to deliver, an underlying asset at a predetermined price on a specified future date. These contracts are traded on regulated exchanges such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), National Stock Exchange (NSE), and others. The underlying asset can be commodities like crude oil, gold, and agricultural products; financial instruments like stock indices and bonds; currencies; or even newer assets like cryptocurrencies.
Unlike spot trading, where assets are exchanged immediately, futures trading focuses on future delivery. However, in practice, most futures contracts are not held until expiration. Traders usually square off their positions before maturity, profiting or losing based on price movements.
How Futures Trading Works
Futures contracts are standardized in terms of quantity, quality, and expiration dates, which ensures liquidity and transparency. Traders are required to deposit a margin, which is a small percentage of the total contract value, to enter a position. This margin system enables leverage, allowing traders to control large positions with relatively small capital.
Prices of futures contracts fluctuate based on supply and demand dynamics, macroeconomic data, interest rates, geopolitical events, and market sentiment. Gains and losses are marked to market daily, meaning profits or losses are credited or debited to the trader’s account at the end of each trading session.
Participants in Futures Markets
There are two main categories of participants in futures trading. Hedgers use futures contracts to protect themselves against adverse price movements. For example, a farmer may sell agricultural futures to lock in a price for crops, while an airline may buy crude oil futures to hedge fuel costs. Speculators, on the other hand, seek to profit from price fluctuations. They add liquidity to the market and help improve price discovery, though they also take on higher risk.
Institutional investors, proprietary trading firms, retail traders, and algorithmic traders all play increasingly significant roles in futures markets today.
Advantages of Futures Trading
One of the biggest advantages of futures trading is leverage. Traders can gain exposure to large positions with limited capital, potentially amplifying returns. Futures markets are also highly liquid, especially in popular contracts, allowing easy entry and exit. Transparency is another major benefit, as prices are publicly available and regulated by exchanges.
Futures trading is also cost-effective, with relatively low transaction costs compared to other financial instruments. Additionally, the ability to go long or short with equal ease makes futures suitable for both rising and falling markets.
Risks Involved in Futures Trading
Despite its benefits, futures trading carries significant risks. Leverage can magnify losses just as easily as it amplifies gains. A small adverse price movement can lead to substantial losses and margin calls. Futures markets can also be highly volatile, influenced by sudden economic data releases, geopolitical tensions, or policy decisions.
Emotional trading, lack of discipline, and inadequate risk management are common reasons traders fail in futures markets. Therefore, proper position sizing, stop-loss strategies, and a deep understanding of the underlying asset are essential.
Role of Technology in Futures Trading
Technology has transformed futures trading over the past few decades. Electronic trading platforms have replaced open outcry systems, enabling faster execution and global access. Algorithmic and high-frequency trading now account for a large share of futures market volume, improving liquidity but also increasing complexity.
Advanced charting tools, real-time data feeds, artificial intelligence, and machine learning models are shaping how traders analyze markets and execute strategies. Automation has reduced human error and improved efficiency, making futures trading more accessible to retail participants.
Regulatory Evolution and Market Stability
Regulation plays a crucial role in shaping the future of futures trading. Regulatory bodies aim to ensure transparency, reduce systemic risk, and protect market participants. Margin requirements, position limits, and reporting standards are continuously updated to reflect market realities.
As markets become more interconnected globally, regulators are also focusing on cross-border cooperation. Strong regulation is essential to maintain confidence and stability, especially as new asset classes and trading technologies emerge.
The Future of Futures Trading
The future of futures trading is expected to be shaped by innovation, globalization, and diversification. New futures contracts based on emerging assets such as cryptocurrencies, carbon credits, electricity, and data-related products are likely to gain popularity. Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors may also influence the development of new futures instruments.
Increased participation from retail traders, particularly in emerging markets like India, will continue to expand futures market depth. Education, digital platforms, and mobile trading applications are lowering entry barriers and democratizing access to futures trading.
Artificial intelligence and big data analytics are expected to play an even larger role in strategy development, risk assessment, and market forecasting. At the same time, risk management will remain the cornerstone of successful futures trading, as volatility and uncertainty are inherent to financial markets.
Conclusion
Futures trading is a powerful and versatile financial tool that serves multiple purposes, from hedging and speculation to price discovery and market efficiency. While it offers significant opportunities, it also demands discipline, knowledge, and respect for risk. As technology advances, regulations evolve, and new asset classes emerge, futures trading will continue to grow in importance and complexity.
Understanding futures trading today is not just about learning how contracts work, but about preparing for a future where markets are faster, more interconnected, and driven by both human insight and intelligent systems. For those willing to learn, adapt, and manage risk wisely, futures trading will remain a vital pathway to participating in the global financial ecosystem.
Trend Ltd: Wave A/1 Matures, Bigger Game AheadFrom the ₹3,930.10 low , Trend Ltd has unfolded a clean 5-wave, non-overlapping impulse on the 1-hour timeframe , suggesting this move can be labeled as Wave A / 1 of a higher-degree structure.
A key validation comes from the internals: Wave (iii) extended to a textbook 1.618× Wave (i) measured from Wave (ii) , reinforcing the impulsive nature of the rally. Price now appears to be nearing the end of internal Wave (v) and the larger Wave A / 1 , right below a major overhead supply / order-block zone .
With the impulse likely maturing, the next phase is expected to be a healthy corrective retracement toward the 0.382–0.5 Fibonacci zone of the entire rally. Such a pullback would be constructive and could lay the groundwork for the next advance into Wave C / 3 .
Patience over prediction. Let the retracement come.

NIFTY: 2025 Reflection and 2026 OutlookIts 31st December and last trading day of 2025 is done. Lets take a look at what happened in 2025 and year ahead.
We will get rid of all complexities of market as they are constant and keep it simple as it can bring in clarity of analysis over a longer time frame.
2025 was a steady rebuild:
NIFTY kept printing higher lows along a rising trendline, but every push into the same overhead zone met supply. Price is now near the apex of this structure.
2026 is likely about the break:
Bull case: Acceptance above the overhead zone (close + hold / retest hold).
Bear case: Breakdown below the rising trendline (close below + failed reclaim).
Until then: expect rotation and patience inside compression.
