GOLD - A false breakout of resistance within a bearish trendICMARKETS:XAUUSD has broken out of its short-term descending channel within the current distribution phase and is now testing the 4134 liquidity zone while printing fresh intermediate highs. Despite the technical recovery, the broader fundamental backdrop remains weak
Gold remains caught between geopolitical support and pressure from hawkish Federal Reserve expectations and elevated real yields. Analysts note that a sustainable recovery would likely require lower oil prices, declining bond yields, and softer expectations for further monetary tightening. Until then, the upside potential is expected to remain limited.
At the moment, oil prices continue to rise, while the U.S. dollar has strengthened for a fifth consecutive session, maintaining its broader bullish trend.
Bullish drivers: Geopolitical de-escalation, Falling oil prices, A weaker U.S. dollar, Softer expectations for Fed rate hikes
Bearish drivers: Escalation of geopolitical tensions, Rising oil prices, Hawkish Fed rhetoric, Continued U.S. dollar strength
Resistance levels: 4124, 4134, 4195
Support levels: 4103, 4067, 4028
Technically, the market is testing a key liquidity pool within the current distribution phase and may be forming a short squeeze. If bears manage to keep price below the 4124–4134 resistance zone, it could trigger another leg lower in line with the broader daily bearish trend

XAUUSD: ABC Pullback May Prepare the Next Bullish Wave
Gold is still holding a constructive bullish structure after the strong recovery from the lower base. From Kelly’s view, the market has already created an impulsive move higher, and the current pullback may simply be an ABC correction before price attempts another upside continuation.
The key idea is simple: gold may correct first, but the bullish structure remains active while price holds above the trendline and the main buy zone.
⟡ Market structure
The chart shows gold recovering strongly from the 3,960 area, then building higher lows along the rising trendline. Price pushed into the 4,130–4,140 region before slowing down, which is normal after a strong bullish leg.
Gold is now trading around 4,118, close to the short-term support area. The first reaction zone sits around 4,100–4,105, where a small buy scalping setup may appear.
The more important zone is the 4,068–4,075 area. This is marked as the possible end of the ABC correction. If buyers defend this zone, gold may start a new upward wave towards the upper trendline and the 4,150–4,160 target area.
➤ Key levels
◌ 4,100–4,105: buy scalping zone and short-term reaction area
◌ 4,068–4,075: main buy zone and possible ABC completion
◌ 4,118–4,123: current price reaction area
◌ 4,130–4,140: nearest resistance zone
◌ 4,150–4,160: upside target and trendline target area
◌ Below 4,068: area where the bullish setup starts to weaken
⌁ Elliott Wave view
From an Elliott Wave perspective, gold appears to have completed a short bullish wave sequence from the lower base. After that, the current movement may be forming an ABC correction.
Wave A is the first pullback from the recent high.
Wave B may form a small rebound around the 4,100 zone.
Wave C may complete around 4,068–4,075 if price continues to correct deeper.
If wave C ends inside this buy zone and a bullish confirmation candle appears, gold may begin the next continuation phase. The next target would be 4,130–4,140 first, then 4,150–4,160 if momentum expands.
▸ Trading scenario
Preferred scenario: wait for gold to complete the ABC correction around the buy zone before looking for continuation.
Entry zone: 4,068–4,075 if bullish confirmation appears
Scalping entry zone: 4,100–4,105 only if price reacts strongly
Stop loss: below the confirmed wave C low or below 4,060
Take profit 1: 4,130–4,140
Take profit 2: 4,150–4,160
Take profit 3: higher trendline area if bullish momentum continues
Alternative scenario: if gold breaks below 4,068 with strong bearish pressure, the ABC bullish setup weakens. In that case, price may need to form a deeper base before the next recovery becomes reliable.
⌁ Kelly’s view
For Kelly, this is a bullish continuation structure, but the market needs a healthy correction before the next strong move. Buying directly after a strong push is not the cleanest plan.
The better setup is to wait for gold to pull back into support, then watch whether buyers defend the ABC completion zone.
Gold is correcting inside a bullish structure.
If the buy zone holds, the next upside wave may continue towards 4,150–4,160.

Gold Eyes $4,150 — Are Bulls Ready for the Next Rally?Gold ( OANDA:XAUUSD ) has once again moved below the resistance zone($4,138-$4,091) and is currently trading near the Support Lines and the Fibonacci Levels.
From an Elliott Wave perspective, it appears that Gold is still completing main wave 4, while main wave 3 was an Extended Wave.
I expect Gold to rebound from the current support lines and resume its bullish trend, with an initial target of at least $4,115. If Gold manages to break above the key trading level of $4,117, we could expect a confirmed breakout of the resistance zone($4,138-$4,091) and a continuation of the bullish trend.
First Target: $4,115
Second Target: $4,142
Third Target: $4,160
Stop Loss(SL): $4,057(Worst)
Note: Since tensions in the Middle East continue to escalate, any related news could have an immediate impact on the Gold. Therefore, be sure to monitor geopolitical developments closely and manage your risk carefully.

Bitcoin - Starting another big drop! 56k soon (42k then?)Bitcoin will soon enter a capitulation phase. Right now it's a good time to sell or short Bitcoin on futures. Why? The current price is at the top of the channel, which acts as a strong resistance. As soon as the price gets below the blue local channel, the downtrend is confirmed! Bitcoin has been in a bear market since October 2026, and I expect this trend to continue in August and September! In the short term my target is 56,500, as you can see on the chart. But my midterm target is around 42,000, and I expect this target to be hit in September/October. We should see some very bad news during this event, such as a hack of a major exchange or capitulation of major players/miners in the crypto space.
From a technical point of view of this chart, I think we can expect a bounce from the bottom of the descending channel. It does make sense also from a point of view of taking liquidity below the previous swing low.
NUMBER 1 RULE: You know that no market is free, all major markets are completely controlled/manipulated by banks and governments. You must trade with them, not against them. Make sure your strategy is optimized to this behavior. You want to buy where all people have their stop losses and sell where all people have their buy orders.

AMZN | ABC Correction Done — Break The HVA And Run!
By analyzing the #AMZN (Amazon) chart on the 4H timeframe, we can see that the broader trend remains bullish, and the internal corrective phase looks to be wrapping up. Price is now compressing at a decisive volume level — and a clean break of it is the trigger for the next leg toward the liquidity above.
📊 4H Timeframe
On the 4H, the bigger picture is an uptrend riding inside its rising channel, with price holding comfortably above the Protected Low at $195.91 . Within that uptrend, price went through an internal correction: it printed a bearish internal CHoCH, followed by several bearish BOS on the way down, taking price into the demand area near the Order Block ( $219.58 – $226.49 ).
That corrective phase is now over. Price broke the Protected High of the internal downtrend at $249.51 with an impulsive wave — the structural signal that buyers reclaimed control. Since that break, price has been unwinding in a three-wave (a)-(b)-(c) correction, and it's currently trading around $242.89 , sitting right at the High Value Area (HVA) of the volume profile — the heaviest-traded level on the chart and the battleground that decides the next move.
🎯 The Bias
My base case is bullish continuation, but it needs confirmation. The trigger I want is a clear candle close above the High Value Area — that would confirm buyers have absorbed the heaviest volume on the chart and complete the corrective structure. On that break, the path opens toward the levels overhead at $249.75 and $253.45 , and then the buy-side liquidity (BSL) resting at $278.82 , with the trend continuing inside its channel. In my view, as long as AMZN holds above the Protected Low ($195.91), the uptrend stays intact and every dip remains constructive — but until that HVA gives way on a decisive close, price can keep consolidating here.
📰 Fundamental Backdrop
The technical setup lines up with a strong catalyst calendar. Amazon reports Q2 2026 results on July 30 after the US close — the key near-term event, with Wall Street modeling EPS of $1.82 (up from $1.68 a year ago) on revenue near $196 billion, and the company itself having guided to $194–199 billion. The quarter is expected to benefit from Prime Day shifting into Q2, continued AWS acceleration, and a record advertising business. Sentiment into the print is bullish: analysts carry a Strong Buy consensus, KeyBanc just raised its target to $335, and Bank of America projects around $198.8 billion in revenue with roughly 33% AWS cloud growth on enterprise AI adoption — noting that Amazon's expanding relationship with Anthropic alone could add more than $1.5 billion in sequential AWS revenue. The risk to respect is the spending: 2026 capex is tracking toward roughly $200 billion (BofA thinks the outlook could rise to ~$210 billion on higher memory costs), Amazon launched a $25 billion bond sale to fund it, and there's about $1 billion in incremental costs from the Leo satellite build ahead of a Q3 launch — all of which could pressure near-term margins. Net-net: the fundamentals support the bullish structure, but July 30 is a binary event that could easily be the catalyst that resolves this HVA battle in either direction.

On the 4-hour timeframe, it also appears to have formed a Shooting Star Candlestick Pattern, which is considered a bearish reversal signal.
From an Elliott Wave perspective, Gold seems to have completed another Zigzag Correction, suggesting that the next bearish wave could begin soon.
Since Gold has been unable to close a weekly candle back above the $4,000 level for several weeks, this is another bearish sign that suggests the downward trend may continue.
I expect Gold to break below the key trading level of $3,995 and decline at least toward $3,961. If the bearish momentum increases, we could even see a move down to $3,949.
First Target: $3,961
Second Target: $3,949
Stop Loss(SL): $4,052
Note: Since tensions in the Middle East continue to escalate, any related news could have an immediate impact on the Gold. Therefore, be sure to monitor geopolitical developments closely and manage your risk carefully.

Bitcoin Fake Breakout — Is a Bigger Correction About to Begin?Bitcoin ( BINANCE:BTCUSDT ) has experienced an upward trend over the past few days, and many traders were expecting Bitcoin to at least reach the 200_EMA(Weekly). However, due to the increasing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the possibility that these tensions could intensify in the coming days and nights, the market situation has changed.
At the same time, U.S. stock indices such as the S&P 500 ( CAPITALCOM:SPX500 ), as well as precious metals like Gold ( OANDA:XAUUSD ) and Silver ( OANDA:XAGUSD ), have started to decline, while the Dollar Index ( TVC:DXY DXY) has started to rise. Therefore, it seems unlikely that Bitcoin can continue its rally against this increasing macroeconomic pressure.
Before starting the technical analysis, it is important to mention that any news, statements, or developments related to the Middle East tensions over the next 24 hours could have a significant impact on risk assets such as Bitcoin.
Bitcoin has once again moved below the resistance zone($65,630-$64,650) and the 50_EMA(Daily), which could be considered a potential fake breakout.
From an Elliott Wave perspective, it appears that Bitcoin’s recent upward move could be part of a corrective structure, potentially forming a Double Three Correction(WXY).
Also, we can see a bearish Butterfly Harmonic Pattern in the 4-hour time frame.
Based on the points mentioned above, I expect Bitcoin to continue its bearish trend. After breaking the Ascending Channel support line, Bitcoin could decline at least toward the $63,300 level. If bearish momentum increases, we could expect a deeper correction.
First Target: $63,300
Second Target: $62,180
Stop Loss(SL): $66,400
Key levels: $64,120 _ $62,800 _ $66,000
Cumulative Short Liquidation Leverage: $67,700-$67,100
Cumulative Long Liquidation Leverage: $64,440-$63,460
Cumulative Long Liquidation Leverage: $61,830-$60,550
What’s your view on Bitcoin? Do you think Bitcoin can resume its bullish trend, or should we expect a correction similar to other markets?
Note: Any news, statements, or developments related to the ongoing Middle East tensions could quickly affect Bitcoin’s price action and other risk assets.

NASDAQ100: Stocks Summer Range Continues as Oil Drives the MarkeGood day traders, I hope everyone is doing well.
Apparently the markets are still trapped in the summer range. Stocks have seen a pretty interesting reversal lower, while crude oil has extended towards $90 on the ongoing tensions between the US and Iran. It looks like the situation is not ready to improve at this stage, and this is obviously causing new concerns regarding inflation.
We know that inflation came down based on the latest US CPI and PPI figures, but with ongoing geopolitical tensions and higher crude oil prices, inflation is likely to remain elevated. In fact, we are still in the middle of the summer, and this range on stocks may not be broken just yet, which is confirmed by the recent sell-off that likely opens the door for even more weakness in the near term.
Looking at the NASDAQ100, we see ongoing consolidation with more possible short-term weakness. I really like the structure of the NASDAQ100, which shows a potential ending diagonal in C wave, but there is one more leg down missing to complete the contratrend move, at around 27k-28k.

Elliott Wave Analysis | Preparing for Wave (III)?RBOB Gasoline (RB2!) Daily Chart
Following the completion of a Classic Zigzag correction, RBOB Gasoline appears to have broken above its corrective channel, suggesting that the larger bullish trend may have resumed.
My preferred wave count considers Wave (II) complete, with the current advance representing the early stages of Wave (III). If this interpretation is correct, the market may currently be developing Waves 1 and 2 before the strongest portion of the trend begins.
The initial impulsive rally has already demonstrated encouraging strength. However, before the next major advance unfolds, a temporary pullback would remain entirely consistent with Elliott Wave guidelines. The ideal retracement zone for Wave 2 lies between the 38.2% and 50.0% Fibonacci retracement levels, while a deeper correction toward 50.0%–61.8% would still preserve the bullish structure.
An additional technical factor supporting this scenario is the presence of what may become an Acceleration Gap. If this gap continues to hold, it would reinforce the view that bullish momentum is strengthening rather than fading.
From this point forward, maintaining price above the first invalidation level keeps the primary bullish scenario intact. As long as that level remains respected, the market could continue building the foundation for a much larger impulsive advance.
If Wave (III) develops as expected, the first objective would be the initial target zone, followed by higher Fibonacci expansion levels as the impulse matures. While the exact path will depend on future price action, the overall structure continues to favor the bullish scenario.
As always, this is a probability-based Elliott Wave interpretation rather than a prediction. The market itself will determine whether this wave count continues to validate or whether an alternative structure begins to emerge.

Elliott Wave Analysis – First Green Light for Bullish ContinuatiRBOB Gasoline (RB2!) 4H Chart | Elliott Wave Analysis – First Green Light for Bullish Continuation?
Under the aggressive scenario, the market has delivered its first encouraging signal that the bullish trend may be ready to continue. The breakout above the corrective channel, the completion of a Classic Zigzag, and the development of an initial five-wave advance all support the possibility that a new impulsive sequence has begun. If this wave count is correct, the current rally could represent only the early stage of a much larger bullish trend.
Even so, no market advances in a straight line. After every impulsive move, corrective structures are both natural and necessary, allowing the market to regain balance before the next leg higher. These pauses may develop as either price corrections or time corrections, both of which are consistent with Elliott Wave guidelines.
The next correction does not necessarily have to be deep. The market may simply enter a sideways corrective phase to consume time rather than price. Structures such as a Flat, Triangle, or even a Complex Correction remain entirely possible. These patterns typically allow the market to consolidate before the primary trend resumes.
The conservative scenario, however, still suggests that the market may require a larger correction before the primary bullish trend can fully develop. If the current decline unfolds as nothing more than a three-wave corrective structure, such as a Simple Zigzag, the probability of a larger corrective phase would increase.
That said, the presence of a three-wave correction alone is not enough to confirm the bearish case. The key will be the market's behavior once the correction is complete. If buyers fail to produce a new impulsive advance and price instead breaks below the corrective structure, it would become the first warning that a short-term bearish phase may be developing.
Finally, it is important to remember that RBOB Gasoline is one of crude oil's primary refined products and maintains a strong correlation with the oil market. As long as crude oil continues to preserve its bullish structure and extend higher, the broader outlook for gasoline is also expected to remain constructive.
For now, both scenarios remain valid. The market's future price action, wave structure, and reaction around key technical levels will ultimately determine which path gains confirmation.

GOLD (XAUUSD) 1H Analysis: Wave E Completed, Eyeing 4200 Before Overview:
Looking at the 1-hour (1H) chart for Gold, we can observe some compelling structural developments. The price recently completed a corrective A-B-C-D-E sequence, establishing a solid base at the wave E low. This was followed by a strong impulsive breakout to the upside, signaling that market momentum has officially shifted to the buyers.
Technical Breakdown:
Completed Correction: The A-B-C-D-E pattern indicates that the recent phase of consolidation has ended. The sharp rally originating from point E confirms massive buying interest at lower levels.
Current Price Action: After breaking through initial resistance, the price is currently accumulating around the 4095 level, preparing for its next directional move.
Projection & Key Levels: Based on the projected path drawn on the chart, the primary objective is a push higher to test the psychological resistance level at 4200 first. Once that peak is reached, we anticipate profit-taking and a significant retracement. The target for this deeper pullback is the Demand Zone / Support Block, highlighted by the grey box in the 4025 - 4030 area.
Trade Idea / Strategy:
Short-term Plan: For active day traders with an appetite for risk, there may be short-term opportunities to follow the bullish momentum targeting the 4200 level.
Medium-term Plan (Swing Trade): The 4200 area carries a high risk of rejection, so chasing the price at those highs is not recommended. A much safer strategy is to wait for the anticipated drop into our highlighted Demand Zone (4025-4030). If the price tests this area and prints bullish reversal signals (like a strong rejection wick), it will present a low-risk, high-reward opportunity to enter a Long position.
Key Levels to Watch:
Target Resistance: 4200
Major Support (Demand Zone): 4025 - 4030

Gold $4,180 Target: Mega Rally or Bull Trap?The Gold market (XAUUSD) enters Wednesday's session with strong bullish momentum, successfully holding its ground above key psychological handles as institutional money navigates the mid-week order flow.
Fundamentally, bullion is gaining traction as market participants digest global geopolitical developments alongside recalibrated Federal Reserve interest rate expectations ahead of the upcoming FOMC meeting. With energy risks cooling and safe-haven demand remaining resilient, institutional desks (Smart Money) are utilizing this technical window to complete a textbook 5-wave impulsive structure on the H1 timeframe.
However, as price approaches premium overhead resistance layers, automated algorithms are expected to induce a multi-stage ABC corrective rebalancing phase to flush out late-stage breakout leverage before establishing the next macro expansion baseline.
Key Technical Levels
Based on the Bullish Impulse & ABC Elliott Wave geometry mapped on our H1 layout, the core coordinates to monitor include:
Major Overhead Target (Wave 5 Termination): 4,180.000 – The high-density supply block (upper blue box) representing the primary exhaustion ceiling for the current impulsive wave.
Intermediate Inflection Pivot: 4,120.000 – 4,140.000 – Internal S-R flip checkpoints where intermediate Wave (a) and Wave (b) retracements are projected to develop.
Primary Accumulation Floor (Wave C Demand Zone): 4,070.000 – 4,080.000 (Confluence with 4,095 – 4,100 FVG) – The HTF discount baseline highlighted by the bottom blue boxes. This represents the ultimate institutional buy-limit cluster to trigger a major bullish continuation.
Market Debate
Will Gold smoothly touch $4,180 before launching a clean ABC correction to $4,070, or will buyers force an immediate breakout without a deep pullback?
The Bullish Case (Buyers): The H1 structural order flow is pristine. The sequence of higher highs and higher lows confirms absolute buyer custody. Once Wave (5) completes near $4,180, any ABC corrective drop into the $4,070 – $4,080 demand floor is a prime institutional discount opportunity. Safe-haven backing and technical confluence make this zone the launchpad for a massive rally toward new highs.
The Bearish Case (Sellers): Buying at the absolute peak of an extended 5-wave cycle near $4,180 is a dangerous retail trap. The projected ABC correction could easily turn into a deeper structural liquidation if hawkish Fed commentary hits the market. If sellers manage to force an H1 candle close beneath $4,070, the bullish wave count will be invalidated, opening the floodgates for a broader sell-off.

BABA (1W): In-Depth Wave (5) Thesis & Capital Preservation Strat■ 1. Precision Technical & Elliott Wave Analysis
Alibaba Group (BABA) on the weekly timeframe has decisively broken out of its multi-year secular downtrend, displaying a classic 5-wave impulse pattern.
Origin (Point 0): The 2024 low near 58.01 USD marked the absolute bottom and the end of the multi-year macro correction.
Wave (1): Initial breakout rally reaching approx. 104.10 USD, breaching the major descending channel resistance.
Wave (2): A shallow retracement holding above 68.00–69.17 USD (Fib 0.236), signaling dwindling selling pressure.
Wave (3): A powerful extended impulse wave reaching the Fib 1.618 projection near 193.84 USD, driven by massive institutional accumulation.
Wave (4) (Current - 117.99 USD): A corrective consolidation retesting the 100.00–104.00 USD zone (Fib 0.786). This represents a robust confluent support zone combining the top of the former descending channel (Role Reversal) and Fibonacci confluence.
■ 2. Deep-Dive Micro & Business Fundamentals
Alibaba is undergoing a major structural transformation from a pure e-commerce giant into an AI-driven cloud ecosystem.
Cloud & AI Synergy: Powered by its proprietary "Tongyi Qwen" LLM family, Alibaba Cloud is capturing a dominant share of enterprise AI infrastructure demand in Asia.
International Digital Commerce (AIDC): Rapid expansion via AliExpress "Choice" and operational efficiency at Lazada are creating a resilient second growth driver.
Core Domestic Commerce: While competition remains fierce, AI-enhanced merchant monetisation tools are stabilizing Customer Management Revenue (CMR).
CapEx & Free Cash Flow: High capital expenditure in AI infrastructure currently compresses FCF, but builds a formidable moat for long-term monetization.
■ 3. Macro, FX, and Asset Class Interplay
China Macro & Policy Shift: Regulatory headwinds have subsided as Beijing prioritizes "New Quality Productive Forces." Tech platforms are essential infrastructure for national productivity.
FX Dynamics (USD/CNY): As an ADR traded in USD with CNY-denominated earnings, stabilization in the Yuan and Federal Reserve policy shifts act as catalysts for equity valuations.
Global Asset Allocation: BABA offers an attractive risk/reward profile for global funds seeking rotation into deeply undervalued tech leaders (KWEB / Hang Seng Tech Index).
■ 4. Strict Risk Management & Capital Preservation
In institutional-grade trading, capital preservation supersedes profit maximization. This setup is governed by strict risk parameters:
Invalidation Level (Stop Loss): 99.00 USD. A sustained weekly close below this level invalidates the Wave (4) support structure and the entire bullish thesis.
The Discipline of "No Position": If the price breaks below 99.00 USD, the risk must be cut immediately. When mathematical edge is lost, adopting a "no position" stance is the most logical and effective third strategy to protect capital from catastrophic drawdowns.
■ 5. Future Scenarios & Risk-Reward (RR) Matrix
Assuming an entry at the current price of 117.99 USD with a hard stop at 99.00 USD (Risk: 18.99 USD), the mathematical edge is structured as follows:
Target 1: 220.00 USD (Expected Reward: +102.01 USD / RR: 1:5.37)
Target 2: 280.00 USD (Expected Reward: +162.01 USD / RR: 1:8.53)
Long-Term Target: 408.57 USD (Expected Reward: +290.58 USD / RR: 1:15.30)
Primary Scenario: Confirmation of a Wave (4) bottom sets the stage for the Wave (5) expansion. All defined targets offer an exceptionally asymmetric RR profile exceeding 1:5.
Secondary Scenario: Prolonged range-bound movement between 100.00 and 120.00 USD to absorb macro noise. The capital preservation line (99.00 USD) remains strictly enforced.
