WEEKLY MARKET OUTLOOK – THE SELLING ZONE IS GETTING CLOSER NIFTY 50 – THE WARNING LEVEL HAS BEEN TRIGGERED
Nifty closed at 23,897, down around **278 points** from the previous week's close.
Weekly High: 24,143
Weekly Low:*23,786
Last week I highlighted 23,950 as an important level and clearly mentioned that a weekly close below it would not be good news for bulls.
This week Nifty closed at 23,897.
⚠️ Warning signal activated.
The market is slowly moving toward a zone where selling pressure can accelerate. My sense is that we may still be 1–2 weeks away from a much stronger directional move, but the setup is getting increasingly interesting.
NIFTY – KEY LEVELS
If Nifty starts trading below this week's low of 23,786, the probability of testing:
👉 23,450 → 23,400
increases significantly.
For next week:
Expected Range: 24,300 – 23,400/450
The bigger concern is the timeframe alignment.
Currently:
🔴 **Monthly:** Selling zone
🔴 **Daily:** Selling zone
🟡 **Weekly:** Not fully aligned yet
The day these timeframes start aligning — particularly weekly + monthly — selling pressure could become much faster and more aggressive.
For now, let the option sellers enjoy the relatively favourable environment
But keep trailing those profits.
When volatility expands, today's comfortable option-selling setup can become tomorrow's headache.
BANK NIFTY – WAITING FOR THE TRIGGER
Bank Nifty once again formed an indecisive weekly candle, showing that neither bulls nor bears have established clear control yet.
Key Bear Trigger: Weekly close below 56,543
If that happens, selling pressure could accelerate in Bank Nifty and potentially spill over into Nifty 50 as well.
For the bulls:
👉 Strong weekly close above 58,500
is required to revive the upside story.
At the moment, that looks challenging — but markets have a habit of surprising us.
Expected Range: 58,400 – 56,300
DAY-WISE SYSTEM – HONEST SCORECARD
Last week I shared my experimental day-wise Nifty behaviour study.
Let's review it honestly:
✅ Monday: Selling pressure — worked
✅ Tuesday: Negative start → recovery/green close — worked
🟡 Wednesday: Sideways to selling — partially worked; gap-down followed by support and recovery
🟡 Thursday: Expected sideways — instead, Nifty faced resistance near 24,000 and closed red
❌ Friday: Expected weak start followed by recovery — didn't happen
So, the conclusion is simple:
👉 The day-wise system needs more work.
Rather than forcing a prediction every week, I'm going to test this framework for a few more weeks before sharing it again.
I'd rather improve the system than pretend it's already perfect.
S&P 500 – STILL STUCK IN A RANGE
S&P 500 closed at 7,718, just 7 points higher than the previous week.
For now, the index remains trapped between important levels.
Bull Trigger:Weekly close above 7,800
Until that happens, upside momentum remains limited.
⚠️ Bear Trigger:Weekly close below 7,550
Until either level breaks decisively:
Expected Range: 7,800 – 7,600
FINAL VIEW
Nifty has now slipped below the 23,950 warning level.
Bank Nifty is sitting close to its own trigger.
S&P 500 remains range-bound.
And the bigger story is becoming clearer:
Monthly = Weak
Daily = Weak
Weekly = The missing piece
If the weekly timeframe joins the party, the market could move very quickly.
For now:
👉 Don't panic.
👉 Don't chase.
👉 Trail profits.
👉 Watch the trigger levels.
The market doesn't need to be predicted. It needs to be read.

"LULULEMON (LULU) — $516 to $100: Is the Pain Priced In?”LULULEMON NASDAQ:LULU — FROM $516 TO $100: FALLING KNIFE OR GENERATIONAL RESET?
———————————
NASDAQ:LULU has finally reached an area where I'm becoming interested from a long-term perspective.
But I'm approaching this one very differently from simply saying, "the stock is down 80%, so it must be cheap."
NASDAQ:LULU has fallen from its 2023 all-time high around $516 to approximately $100, and the latest earnings show that there are legitimate reasons behind the decline.
So I'm not trying to catch the exact bottom.
I'm looking for evidence that the business AND the chart are beginning to stabilize.
———————————
MONTHLY STRUCTURE
My immediate area is $97–105.
The psychological $100 level is important, but after such a powerful downtrend I don't consider it confirmed support yet.
If $100 fails, my major downside areas are:
$88–92
$78–82 — Major Monthly Demand
$68–72 — Major Long-Term Support
$55–60 — Deep Capitulation Zone
These are areas where I would reassess price action rather than automatically buy simply because price reaches them.
———————————
WEEKLY STRUCTURE
The first thing I want to see is NASDAQ:LULU stop making lower lows.
My preferred sequence would be:
$98–105 holds → base develops → higher low → $120–125 reclaimed.
Above that, I'm watching:
$135–145
$160–175
$200–225
If NASDAQ:LULU can eventually reclaim $160–175 and establish it as support, I would consider that a much more meaningful long-term change in structure.
———————————
LONG-TERM PROJECTIONS
If a genuine turnaround develops, my progressive upside roadmap becomes:
$120–125 → $135–145 → $160–175 → $200–225 → $250–275 → $300–325
I'm deliberately NOT projecting an immediate return to the $516 ATH.
The company needs to earn that valuation again.
———————————
FUNDAMENTALS
This is where the story gets interesting — and risky.
Lululemon's NASDAQ:LULU latest quarter showed continued deterioration in the business. Revenue was approximately $2.42B, Americas revenue declined 8%, and management cut FY2026 guidance again.
The company now expects revenue to decline approximately 5–7%, with FY EPS expected around $9.48–$9.73.
The decline in its core leggings business is particularly concerning.
LULU isn't simply fighting a weak consumer. It is dealing with changing fashion trends, product execution problems and much stronger competition.
That makes this a genuine turnaround.
However, the valuation has also undergone an extraordinary reset.
At roughly $100, LULU trades at a fraction of the valuation investors were previously willing to pay for the business.
The company still has a globally recognized premium brand, significant cash resources and a new CEO coming in with the opportunity to reset product strategy and rebuild consumer momentum.
———————————
MY THESIS
I'm not buying the story simply because NASDAQ:LULU has fallen from $516 to $100.
What I'm looking for is convergence:
Historically depressed valuation + major technical support + business stabilization + improving product momentum.
If those begin appearing together, I believe the long-term risk/reward could become very attractive.
Technically, my bullish roadmap is:
Hold $98–105 → reclaim $120–125 → higher low → break $135–145 → attack $160–175.
From there, $200–225 becomes my first major long-term recovery objective.
The bearish roadmap is equally clear:
Lose $98 → $88–92 → $78–82 → $68–72
with $55–60 reserved for a deeper capitulation scenario.
At this stage, I see LULU as a potential turnaround/accumulation opportunity — NOT a confirmed bottom.
I'm watching $100 closely, but I'm letting price prove the thesis rather than trying to predict it.

XAUUSD 1H: Liquidity Sweep + FVG/OB Retest | Key Levels to WatchThe chart is showing a recovery from the 4,280–4,300 demand area, while price is currently trading below the 4,500–4,510 resistance/PWH region.
🔎 Key Structure
CHoCH: The earlier bearish structure shifted after price reclaimed the marked CHoCH level.
BSL: Liquidity is resting around 4,360–4,370.
1H FVG + OB: 4,305–4,330 is the main reaction zone marked on the chart.
15M OB: Around 4,280–4,295, acting as deeper support.
PWH / resistance: Around 4,500–4,510.
Supply zone: Approximately 4,595–4,630.
📈 Bullish Scenario
If price retraces into the 1H FVG + OB and shows a bullish reaction, the chart structure suggests that traders may watch for a move back toward 4,500–4,510. A confirmed break and acceptance above that area would bring the higher supply zone into focus.
📉 Invalidation / Bearish Scenario
If the 4,305–4,330 area fails to hold and price continues below the 15M OB, the bullish scenario would weaken. In that case, the lower support/liquidity around 4,280 becomes important.
🧠 Educational Takeaway
The interesting part of this setup is the sequence:
Liquidity → FVG/OB reaction → structure confirmation → resistance test
Rather than assuming direction, waiting for confirmation around these marked zones can help reduce premature entries.

XAUUSD H1: Bullish Structure Shift & FVG Retest in FocusGold has transitioned from a clear bearish structure into a potential bullish market-structure phase
After the decline into the 4,280–4,300 demand area, price formed a strong recovery and produced a CHOCH, followed by bullish displacement. The subsequent structure suggests that buyers have gained short-term control
Price is now retracing toward the 4,365–4,400 FVG zone, making this area important for monitoring how price reacts
🔎 Key Levels
Current price: ~4,430
FVG: ~4,345–4,368
Key demand: ~4,280–4,300
Previous swing area: ~4,480–4,500
BSL: ~4,637
Higher BSL: ~4,690
📈 Bullish Scenario
If the FVG holds and price establishes bullish confirmation on a lower timeframe, the next areas of interest would be the previous swing high and potentially the 4,637 BSL.
The idea remains conditional: a reaction from the FVG is more meaningful than simply assuming the zone will hold
⚠️ Bearish Invalidation
A sustained breakdown through the bullish structure and especially the 4,280–4,300 demand area would weaken the current bullish thesis and suggest that the broader bearish pressure may be returning

TATASTEEL - Channel Breakout & Base Reversal | Swing Long Hello traders, let’s look at the daily (1D) price action and structural development for Tata Steel Limited (TATASTEEL).
After a steady corrective phase from the 224 swing highs, the stock found strong buying interest near the 180 base support. Over the past few weeks, price action has been consolidating tightly within a descending channel/range, establishing a base. The stock is now testing the upper boundary and setting up for a potential breakout toward higher resistance zones.
Key Technical Observations:
• Base Formation & Channel Compression: Price has respected the 180–185 demand floor, compressing tightly against the upper descending channel boundary.
• Momentum Shift: The daily RSI has begun curling upward from oversold territory, showing steady accumulation and strengthening bullish momentum.
• High-Probability Breakout Trigger: The horizontal resistance level at 191 marks the key structural pivot. A decisive breakout above this zone will confirm that buyers have taken full command.
Trade Execution Plan (Long)
• Entry Range: 190.5 – 191.5 (Only initiate on a confirmed breakout above 191)
• Stop Loss (SL): 185 (Strict invalidation placed below recent base support)
• Target: 210 (Retest of key structural supply)
• Setup Validity: Valid as long as the price stays above 185 before executing the channel breakout. If price breaks below 185 prior to breakout, the setup is voided.
• Risk-to-Reward (R:R): ~1:3+
---
Trade Psychology & Risk Management:
Execution discipline is critical. Do not chase the price if it extends sharply past our target entry zone—wait patiently for the trigger within the 190.5–191.5 range to ensure the risk-to-reward ratio remains in your favor. Furthermore, respect the 185 invalidation level without hesitation, as a breakdown below that point invalidates the accumulation thesis.

BAJAJ AUTO - Potential Distribution Phase | Short Setup & TargetHello traders, let me share a detailed price action breakdown and a short trade setup for BAJAJ AUTO (Daily Chart).
After printing a high around the 11,856–11,863 level in early August, the stock has struggled to close above this mark for over 9 consecutive trading sessions. The current price action displays classic characteristics of a distribution phase, suggesting buying momentum is exhausting near the top.
Key Technical Observations:
Resistance & Consolidation: Price is currently capped beneath the major resistance line, consolidating tightly between 11,863 and local support near 11,525.
RSI Bearish Divergence: As highlighted in the indicator panel below, while price action tested local highs, the 14-period RSI clearly exhibits lower highs, confirming a strong momentum divergence.
Failure to Break Out: Repeated rejections at the top boundary signal that supply is heavily absorbing demand at these elevated levels.
Expected Next Move & Trade Setup:
Instead of front-running a breakdown, waiting for the price to definitively slip below the tight consolidation box provides a much higher probability entry. I am expecting the price to fail to make a fresh high and slowly but steadily move down toward its previous base.
Short Trade Plan:
Entry: Initiate a short position below 11,450.
Stop Loss (SL): Place SL above the recent highs at 11,900.
Targets: 10,400 / 10,000.
Once this distribution phase completes its correction into the 10,000–9,500 support zone, we can anticipate a fresh round of institutional accumulation to start the next major bull leg.
Trade Psychology & Risk Management:
Key Takeaway: In distribution setups, chasing breakouts late in the trend often traps retail traders. Wait for the structural confirmation (the break below 11,450) before pulling the trigger, and always stick to your defined risk via a hard stop loss.
What are your thoughts on BAJAJ AUTO? Are you planning to take this short setup, or are you waiting patiently for the dip to build long positions? Let’s discuss in the comments!

XAUUSD — Weekly Market Structure & Price ActionGold Spot / U.S. Dollar (1W)
The weekly chart shows a strong prior bullish structure followed by a corrective move beneath a descending trendline. Price has recently reacted from the marked support zone and is now approaching the 1W Fair Value Gap (FVG) area.
Key observations:
🔹 Weekly support: around 3,900–4,050
🔹 BSL / liquidity area: around 4,100
🔹 1W FVG: approximately 4,150–4,350
🔹 Current price is testing the upper portion of the marked FVG.
🔹 The descending trendline remains an important area of resistance.
🔹 A decisive weekly break above the trendline could provide stronger evidence of a potential structure shift.
🔹 If price rejects the FVG, the marked support zone becomes an important area to watch.
🧠 Possible Scenario
Bullish scenario:
If price holds the FVG and establishes acceptance above the descending trendline, the next major upside area visible on this chart is around 5,000–5,500.
Bearish scenario:
A clear rejection from the FVG followed by weakness below the nearby structure could bring attention back toward the 3,900–4,050 support zone.

The Ultimate Inflation Proxy: Why Sumitomo Metal Mining (5713.T)Hello Traders,
Are you feeling cautious about buying major tech names or the Nikkei at these elevated levels? Looking for a robust safe haven against sticky inflation?
If we peel back the layers of global cross-asset rotation, a massive subterranean shift is occurring. Today, I want to share a quantitative and macro perspective on why Sumitomo Metal Mining (TSE: 5713) is currently exhibiting a textbook setup for global value and macro investors.
1. The Macro Divergence: Why Base Metals?
When we analyze the market not just against the USD (DXY) but against the broader commodity index (DBC), a stark reality emerges. The "real return" of many US mega-caps and major indices is essentially being eaten alive by inflation, flatlining against DBC.
Where is the smart money hiding? Our cross-asset relative strength models indicate a massive, localized capital concentration into the Japanese "Non-Ferrous Metals" sector, heavily outperforming both global peers and the broader TOPIX. 5713 is the undisputed crown jewel of this inflow.
2. Don't Let the Price Tag Fool You: A Fundamental Beast
Trading around the 10,000 JPY psychological level, the stock might visually look "expensive" to retail traders. However, a peek under the hood reveals a valuation anomaly where earnings growth is drastically outpacing the stock price.
Margin Expansion: Over the TTM, Operating Margins have surged from 11.32% to 16.65%, and Net Margins from 10.12% to 16.28%.
Capital Efficiency: ROE has improved to a solid 12.08%, and ROIC to 10.30%, placing it well within the ranks of global quality compounders.
Cash Flow Explosion: Free Cash Flow (FCF) per share has skyrocketed over 4x (from 70.2 JPY to 301.4 JPY). It is literally a cash-generating machine in the current macro environment.
Fortress Balance Sheet & Dividends: With a Long-Term Debt/Equity ratio of just 0.15, debt risk is virtually non-existent. Dividends per share have more than doubled (104 JPY to 228 JPY) with a highly sustainable payout ratio of 35.1%.
Deep Value Multiples: Despite the absolute price, it trades at a mere 11.59x TTM P/E, 1.28x P/B, and an EV/EBITDA of 10.91. The fundamentals have completely detached from any notion of being "overbought."
3. Technical Setup: The Multi-Decade "Wave 3" Dream
Take a look at the attached ultra-long-term Monthly (1M) chart.
The Macro Channel: Mapping the cycle from the early 2000s using a Fibonacci channel reveals that after a massive, prolonged consolidation (a macro Wave 2), the asset is currently launching perfectly off the lower trajectory. This aligns flawlessly with the sticky consolidation seen in global commodity indices.
The "Dream" Target: If this truly is the genesis of a super-cycle Wave 3, the upside targets (e.g., the 1.618 extension around 25,000 JPY) seem almost absurd. Let's keep that strictly as a "dream scenario" for now.
Realistic Entry Strategy: Dreams aside, the massive monthly momentum is undeniably pointing north. After fighting through the 10,000 JPY psychological barrier and squeezing energy, we are looking for the initial breakout. The highest-probability setup here is to buy the dips on lower timeframes (e.g., 30m/1H), backed by the bulletproof fundamentals mentioned above. A realistic initial target is the upper channel boundary near 18,000 JPY.
We are witnessing a rare dual-tailwind: a Global Macro Capital Shift combined with an EPS & Cash Flow Explosion. Add this to your watchlist and track the relative strength!

BTC/USD: Supply Zone Rejection Setup targeting Sell-Side ?Overview
Bitcoin ( BITSTAMP:BTCUSD ) on the 1-hour timeframe demonstrates a classic Smart Money Concepts (SMC) structure. After sweeping low-level liquidity near the $76,500 region, price underwent a strong Market Shift Structure (MSS) to tap liquidity above $82,300 (BSL). Following a sharp drop from the highs, price is consolidating beneath a key Supply Zone.
Key Technical Observations:
Buyside Liquidity (BSL): Established at $82,300, where the recent rally topped out.
Supply Zone: Defined between $80,500 – $81,500, acting as the primary point of interest (POI) for prospective sellers.
Sellside Liquidity (SSL): Key downside target sits at $78,600 (recent swing low).
Current Action: Price is hovering around $79,974, building energy for a potential push into the supply block before looking for continuation lower.
Trade Plan & Outlook:
Bearish Scenario (Primary): Look for a pullback into the $80,500 – $81,500 Supply Zone. Confirmation of rejection within this zone opens a short setup targeting $78,600 (SSL) as the primary take-profit target.
Alternative Scenario: A strong break and sustained hourly close above $81,500 invalidates the short bias and targets a test of the BSL high at $82,300+.

Silver | When the Patterns Whisper⏱️ Reading Time: ~3 minutes
Following our previous analyses, Silver is now at a point where the current structure needs to prove itself. Two primary cases remain on the table, and their details may change as the structure develops.
🟦 Scenario 1 | Bullish Case
In this view, the recent move could be part of a five-wave impulsive structure. If the current wave continues with impulsive character, we would expect the corrections between waves to develop according to their degree and structural position.
A strong break above the previous high would be significant, as it could increase the probability of further upside within the larger wave. In that case, the higher targets shown on the chart would become relevant.
For now, however, price growth alone is not enough; the structure must prove itself.
⬛ Scenario 2 | Bearish Case
In the conservative scenario, the recent decline may still be part of a larger corrective structure, while the current advance could simply be another corrective wave.
In this case, a zigzag or a more complex corrective structure may develop, followed by another decline to potentially complete Wave IV.
Therefore, the market's reaction at key levels and the character of the next move are more important for distinguishing these two structures than short-term direction alone.
We do not predict structures; we identify them through price behavior.
And as always:
The patterns whisper. We listen.
