NIFTY at a Crucial Zone - BIG MOVE COMINGNifty is standing at a crucial support zone, and the next few days will determine whether the market begins a fresh rally or breaks down for a deeper decline.
At present, Nifty has taken support near 25320–25380.
This area is critical for three reasons:
Gap Support: There was a gap on the charts near 25320 from earlier trading sessions. That gap is now filled and is acting as a support level.
Trendline Retest: This same zone also touches the long-term trendline that Nifty broke earlier. Retesting that trendline is a common technical behaviour before the next big move.
50% Fibonacci Retracement: If we measure the recent rally from 24600 to 26100, then the 50% retracement level also comes exactly around 25,350. This means the market has corrected half of its move and is now testing buyers' strength.
So, this area between 25320–25380 is a major support zone where buyers are expected to defend the market.
Current Market Behaviour
For the last few sessions, Nifty has been falling, but it is still holding this support.
If the market takes support here and starts going up, it can trigger short covering.
Many short traders are keeping their stop loss near the previous candle highs, which are around 25550.
If Nifty breaks above 25550, these stop losses will get hit, and that can lead to a sharp rally due to short covering.
Upside View (If Nifty Moves Up)
If Nifty crosses 25550 and sustains above it, we can expect a good upside move:
First target: 26470 – 26500
Next target: 26900
This move can happen quickly because short sellers will exit their positions and buyers will enter aggressively.
Downside View (If Support Fails)
If Nifty breaks below 25320 and closes below it:
Next support is near 24600, but this level has already been tested earlier, so it has become a weak support now.
If 24600 also breaks, the next possible target is 24000.
This will mean that the market has entered a deeper correction phase.
Volatility & India VIX
Right now, India VIX is around 12.55, and it is slowly moving up.
This increase in VIX means uncertainty is rising, which usually supports a downside or volatile market.
If VIX cools down near 11, it will show that fear is reducing, and the market can again aim for new highs.
But if VIX keeps rising toward 15, expect more pressure and a possible fall.
Final View
Nifty is at a point where either fresh buying starts or the market breaks down.
All major indicators (trendline, gap, Fibonacci, and previous support) are pointing to this being a decisive zone.
Traders should watch 25320 on the downside and 25550 on the upside - whichever breaks first will set the next trend.
Stay patient and avoid emotional trades here - this is where big moves begin.

Upper Shadow: Very small (₹9.35), indicating no significant selling pressure at highs
Lower Shadow: Minimal, showing buyers were in complete control from open
Closing Strength: Closed near day's high (99.1% of high), demonstrating conviction
Gap Behavior: No attempt to fill the opening gap throughout the session
Price Action Interpretation:
The stock has broken through a consolidation zone with explosive momentum
Previous resistance at ₹900 was obliterated, not just crossed
The lack of upper wick suggests no supply even at elevated prices
Price discovery mode is active - buyers willing to chase at any price
The closing near highs indicates strong hands holding positions overnight
The stock has entered uncharted territory, creating new all-time highs
Price Action Quality Assessment:
Breakout Authenticity Score: 9/10
Gap-up opening: +2 points (shows conviction)
High volume: +2 points (validates breakout)
Close near high: +2 points (bullish control)
Minimal retracement: +1 point (strong hands)
Breaking all-time high: +2 points (new territory)
What Makes This Breakout Special?
It's not just breaking ₹900 resistance - it's jumping 15% above it
The consolidation was long (time creates energy)
Multiple failed attempts at ₹800-900 in past means trapped shorts
The volume explosion (112x average) shows institutional involvement
Closing near day's high indicates no distribution at top
Volume Spread Analysis - The Institutional Footprint:
Volume Quality Indicators:
Indicator 1: Volume Price Trend (VPT)
Status: Sharply positive
Interpretation: Volume flowing into rising prices (bullish confirmation)
Historical Context: Highest VPT reading since 2023 peak
Indicator 2: On-Balance Volume (OBV)
Movement: Massive upward spike
Previous OBV: Sideways for 12 months
Current OBV: Breaking out to new highs
Interpretation: Accumulation confirmed, distribution phase over
Indicator 3: Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP)
Intraday VWAP: Estimated around ₹980-1,000
Price vs VWAP: Closed 2.5-4.5% above VWAP
Interpretation: Late buyers chasing, but sustainable given context
Indicator 4: Accumulation/Distribution Line
Trend: Sharply higher
Reading: Strong accumulation
Historical Context: Confirms institutional buying after 12-month consolidation
Volume Characteristics Breakdown:
What the Volume is Telling Us?
Institutional Participation Evidence
Retail traders cannot generate 1.72M share volume alone
Block deals likely executed (need to check bulk/block deal data)
Systematic buying throughout session suggests algos/institutions
No single spike and fade pattern - sustained buying
Average trade size likely higher than typical (sign of institutional activity)
Short Covering Component
Previous resistance at ₹900 trapped many short sellers
Volume spike partially driven by forced short covering
Estimated short covering contribution: 20-30% of total volume
Remaining 70-80%: Fresh long positions and institutional buying
Market Maker Activity
Wide bid-ask spread likely during initial surge
Liquidity providers would have facilitated large orders
Options market likely saw heavy call buying (increases delta hedging volume)
Delivery percentage will confirm genuine buying (expect 60-70%+)
Volume Comparison with Historical Breakouts
Previous Breakout Attempts (Failed)
August 2024 attempt at ₹880: 0.8M shares (failed, price rejected)
October 2024 attempt at ₹900: 1.0M shares (failed, closed below)
March 2025 attempt at ₹870: 0.6M shares (failed, weak volume)
Current Breakout (Successful)
November 2025: 1.72M shares (72% higher than previous best attempt)
Success Factors: Volume 2-3x higher than failed attempts + fundamental catalyst
Historical Successful Breakouts for Comparison
June 2023 breakout at ₹600: 1.2M shares (led to ₹700, 17% rally)
Current volume is 43% higher than that successful breakout
Expectation: Similar or larger percentage move
Volume Red Flags and Cautions
What to Watch For?
If volume drops below 0.5M shares in next 3-5 sessions: Concerning (shows lack of follow-through)
If price retraces 50%+ on volume higher than breakout: Major warning (distribution)
If next up-day has volume less than today: Momentum weakening
If stock gaps down on high volume: Breakout failure scenario
Positive Confirmations Needed:
Next 3 days should have volume above 0.4-0.6M shares (sustained interest)
Any pullback should be on volume below 0.8M shares (healthy profit-taking)
Weekly close above ₹950 on cumulative volume of 3-4M shares (confirms breakout)
Volume-Based Risk Assessment
Risk Level: Moderate-to-High
High volume can sometimes indicate exhaustion (climactic buying)
However, context matters: breakout after 12-month base is different from parabolic move
The consolidation duration justifies the volume explosion
Risk is elevated for chasing here, but pullbacks offer lower-risk entries
Volume-Validated Support Levels:
₹950-980: Light volume zone (may not hold on first test)
₹900-920: High volume breakout zone (should provide strong support)
₹850-880: High volume consolidation zone (major support)
Volume Action Quality Score: 8.5/10
Scoring Breakdown:
Volume Expansion: 10/10 (112x is exceptional)
Volume-Price Relationship: 9/10 (perfectly correlated)
Distribution Pattern: 8/10 (well distributed, not spike-and-fade)
Historical Context: 9/10 (highest in 6+ months)
Follow-Through Potential: 7/10 (need confirmation in coming days)
Institutional Footprint: 9/10 (clear signs of smart money)
Why Not 10/10?
Extremely high volume can sometimes be exhaustion
Need 2-3 days confirmation for perfect score
Lack of multi-day volume buildup (came suddenly)
Could use a consolidation period to absorb supply

Advanced Chart Patterns in Technical Analysis1. Introduction to Advanced Chart Patterns
In trading, patterns repeat because human behavior is repetitive. Fear, greed, and hope drive market movements, and these emotions get imprinted in price charts. Advanced chart patterns are an extension of classical technical formations, combining structure, volume, and momentum to forecast price trends. Mastering them helps traders differentiate between false breakouts and genuine opportunities.
Advanced patterns generally fall into two main categories:
Continuation Patterns – Indicating a pause before the prevailing trend continues.
Reversal Patterns – Signaling the end of a trend and the beginning of a new one.
2. Head and Shoulders (Reversal Pattern)
The Head and Shoulders pattern is one of the most reliable reversal signals. It indicates a change in trend direction — from bullish to bearish (standard form) or from bearish to bullish (inverse form).
Structure:
Left shoulder: A price rise followed by a decline.
Head: A higher peak than the left shoulder, followed by another decline.
Right shoulder: A lower rise, followed by a breakdown through the neckline.
Neckline: Connects the lows between the shoulders and serves as a key breakout level.
Once the price breaks below the neckline, it confirms a bearish reversal. The target is estimated by measuring the distance from the head to the neckline and projecting it downward.
Inverse Head and Shoulders works similarly but in the opposite direction — signaling a bullish reversal after a downtrend.
3. Cup and Handle Pattern
The Cup and Handle is a bullish continuation pattern resembling a teacup. It was popularized by William O’Neil in his book How to Make Money in Stocks.
Formation:
Cup: A rounded bottom, showing a gradual shift from selling to buying.
Handle: A short pullback or consolidation that follows the cup, forming a downward-sloping channel.
When the price breaks above the handle’s resistance with strong volume, it often signals a continuation of the prior uptrend.
Target: The depth of the cup added to the breakout point.
This pattern is often seen in growth stocks and long-term bullish markets.
4. Double Top and Double Bottom
These patterns are classic but essential to advanced technical traders due to their reliability and frequency.
Double Top:
Appears after a strong uptrend.
Price makes two peaks at similar levels separated by a moderate decline.
A breakdown below the “neckline” confirms a bearish reversal.
Double Bottom:
Appears after a downtrend.
Two troughs form around the same level with a peak in between.
A breakout above the neckline signals a bullish reversal.
Volume confirmation is crucial — rising volume on the breakout adds credibility to the pattern.
5. Flag and Pennant Patterns
Flags and Pennants are short-term continuation patterns that often appear after a strong price movement, known as the “flagpole.”
Flag: Forms as a small rectangular channel sloping against the main trend.
Pennant: Appears as a small symmetrical triangle following a sharp move.
These patterns typically consolidate the market before the next strong move in the same direction.
Breakout Rule:
When price breaks in the direction of the previous trend, accompanied by high volume, it confirms continuation.
Target Projection:
Length of the flagpole added to the breakout point.
6. Wedge Patterns
Wedges are advanced chart patterns signaling either continuation or reversal depending on their position and direction.
Rising Wedge:
Forms when price makes higher highs and higher lows, but the slope narrows upward.
Typically appears in an uptrend and indicates weakening bullish momentum — a bearish reversal signal.
Falling Wedge:
Forms with lower highs and lower lows converging downward.
Usually appears in a downtrend, indicating a potential bullish reversal.
Volume generally declines during formation and expands during breakout, confirming the move.
7. Symmetrical, Ascending, and Descending Triangles
Triangles represent consolidation phases and serve as reliable continuation patterns.
Symmetrical Triangle:
Characterized by converging trendlines with no clear direction bias.
Breakout direction typically follows the prior trend.
Ascending Triangle:
Horizontal resistance with rising support.
Usually forms during an uptrend, signaling bullish continuation.
Descending Triangle:
Horizontal support with declining resistance.
Typically bearish, indicating continuation of a downtrend.
Triangles are volume-sensitive patterns — declining volume during formation and surge during breakout strengthens reliability.
8. Rectangle Pattern
A Rectangle or Trading Range represents a period of indecision between buyers and sellers.
Formation: Price oscillates between horizontal support and resistance.
Interpretation:
Breakout above resistance → bullish signal.
Breakdown below support → bearish signal.
Traders often trade within the rectangle until a confirmed breakout occurs, using stop-losses near the opposite boundary.
9. Diamond Pattern
The Diamond Top is an advanced reversal pattern that forms after a prolonged uptrend. It begins as a broadening formation (wider price swings) and ends with a narrowing triangle — resembling a diamond shape.
Indicates distribution and market exhaustion.
Once price breaks below the support line, it confirms a bearish reversal.
This pattern is rare but highly reliable when spotted correctly.
10. Harmonic Patterns (Advanced Category)
Harmonic patterns use Fibonacci ratios to predict potential reversals with high precision. These include Gartley, Bat, Butterfly, and Crab patterns.
Gartley Pattern: Indicates retracement within a trend, typically completing at the 78.6% Fibonacci level.
Bat Pattern: Uses deeper retracement levels (88.6%) to identify precise turning points.
Butterfly Pattern: Suggests a reversal near 127% or 161.8% Fibonacci extensions.
Crab Pattern: Known for extreme projections (up to 224% or more), signaling deep retracements.
These patterns require advanced understanding of Fibonacci tools and are used by professional traders for precision entries.
11. Rounding Bottom and Top
Rounding Bottom:
Gradual shift from bearish to bullish sentiment.
Indicates long-term accumulation before a breakout.
Typically seen in major trend reversals in large-cap stocks.
Rounding Top:
Slow shift from bullish to bearish sentiment.
Represents distribution and is often followed by a sustained downtrend.
These patterns form over long durations (weeks or months) and are reliable for positional traders.
12. Broadening Formation
Also known as a megaphone pattern, it shows increasing volatility and investor uncertainty.
Formation: Two diverging trendlines — one ascending, one descending.
Meaning: Early sign of market instability; may precede major reversals.
Trade Setup: Enter once a confirmed breakout occurs beyond the pattern boundaries.
13. Volume and Confirmation in Chart Patterns
Volume plays a critical role in confirming pattern validity. Key principles include:
Decreasing volume during consolidation or pattern formation.
Increasing volume during breakout, confirming institutional participation.
False breakouts often occur on low volume, trapping retail traders.
Combining volume indicators (like OBV or Volume Oscillator) with pattern analysis enhances accuracy.
14. Practical Application and Risk Management
Even the most reliable patterns fail without proper risk management and confirmation strategies.
Wait for breakout confirmation with candle close beyond key levels.
Use stop-loss slightly below support or above resistance.
Combine patterns with momentum indicators like RSI or MACD for confirmation.
Avoid overtrading; focus on quality setups with clear symmetry and volume validation.
15. Conclusion
Advanced chart patterns bridge the gap between price action and trader psychology. They help traders interpret market behavior and anticipate future movements with a structured approach. Patterns like the Cup and Handle, Head and Shoulders, and Wedges reveal not just the direction but also the strength and conviction of trends.
Mastering these patterns requires practice, discipline, and confirmation through indicators and volume. When used correctly, advanced chart patterns empower traders to make informed, high-probability decisions — transforming random price data into profitable trading opportunities.

As of the latest data, IDBI Bank is trading at ₹100.42. This price action is notable not just for its level, but for the structure it has formed—a classic Cup and Handle pattern, which is widely regarded as a bullish continuation signal.
☕ Understanding the Cup and Handle Pattern
The Cup and Handle pattern resembles the shape of a tea cup:
The "cup" forms after a rounded bottom, indicating a period of consolidation and accumulation.
The "handle" follows as a short-term pullback, typically on lighter volume, before a potential breakout.
This pattern reflects a shift in market sentiment—from bearish to bullish—as buyers gradually regain control.
📊 Technical Confirmation
Several factors strengthen the bullish outlook for IDBI Bank:
The stock is trading above its 50-day and 100-day Simple Moving Averages (SMA), suggesting medium-term strength and trend alignment.
The neckline resistance—the key breakout level—is identified at ₹106. A decisive move above this level would confirm the completion of the Cup and Handle pattern.
🚀 What Happens After the Breakout?
If IDBI Bank breaks above ₹106 with strong volume, it could trigger a bullish rally, as the pattern implies renewed buying interest and momentum. Traders often look for price targets by measuring the depth of the cup and projecting it upward from the breakout point.
🧠 Final Thoughts
The Cup and Handle pattern on IDBI Bank’s chart, combined with its position above key moving averages, presents a textbook bullish setup. While no pattern guarantees future performance, this formation is a favorite among technical analysts for its reliability and clarity.
As always, traders should consider risk management and broader market conditions before acting on any signal.

GBPJPYAs you can see price is clearly in an downtrend. Nice push to the downside, and nice recovery back up. And with 4 points being made ( H,L,HL,LL) downtrend is confirmed. I marked 4H supply that aligns with 202.000 handle.
While on the 4H is a downtrend, on daily timeframe, price is in a bullish leg and now coming up from filling the imbalance. Now if I was paying attention I could get into buys at the bottom and trap the market. However that was not the case.
That can cause price to go higher and break through our supply. But that is why we wait for confirmation on smaller timeframes before entering the trade.
Remember, no confiration - no entry.

Elliott Wave Analysis – XAUUSD (Gold) | November 7, 2025 Momentum
D1 timeframe:
Daily momentum is turning upward, but just one more bullish candle will push it into the overbought zone. This suggests that the current upward move may not be sustainable, and a short-term correction could occur soon.
H4 timeframe:
H4 momentum is about to turn bullish from the oversold area. If this signal is confirmed, we can expect a short-term upward move. However, as the market is currently in a balanced state, even a small push from either buyers or sellers could shift momentum direction. Therefore, it’s better to observe carefully rather than act too early.
90M timeframe:
Momentum on the 90-minute chart is turning downward, indicating a possible short-term pullback before any further advance.
________________________________________
Wave Structure
D1 timeframe:
The ongoing rise in momentum indicates that wave X is still unfolding, meaning the corrective phase is not yet complete.
H4 timeframe:
Wave X is currently forming. The liquidity zone at 4028 remains a key level to watch.
If the price breaks above this zone, the next target will likely be the upper liquidity zone at 4070.
On the H4 chart, the green level around 4007 represents the highest-volume area, currently acting as a strong resistance.
Combined with the H4 bullish momentum reversal, it shows buying pressure exists, but the resistance remains heavy, making the 4007–4028 region a key battleground.
We should wait for a clear breakout before confirming the next direction.
90M timeframe:
• A triangle-like structure seems to be forming, but it’s not yet complete, so confirmation is needed.
• Waves a and b appear finished; the market may now be forming wave c (black) or wave d (black).
• Since H4 momentum is turning bullish, if the price breaks above 4012, it will likely confirm wave c continuation.
• Conversely, if the price drops toward 3950, completing a three-wave WXY (blue) structure, we can consider it wave d instead.
Currently, wave c (black) is temporarily labeled since the structure already shows three subwaves completed.
Therefore, I expect a decline toward 3950, where we can look for a short-term buy setup.
