Silver Testing Major Confluence Support- Potential Weekly BounceSilver has now retraced approximately 55% from its all-time high. Despite several relief bounces along the way, each has failed and led to fresh lows, confirming ongoing selling pressure.
We are now approaching a critical support zone on the weekly timeframe with strong confluence:
100-week EMA
Previous highs around $54.40 (old resistance now flipping to potential support)
0.886 Fibonacci retracement of the swing low to ATH
Possible bullish RSI divergence forming on the daily chart
While I believe Silver could eventually see lower prices in the bigger picture, the heavy confluence at these levels — combined with the metal’s high volatility — suggests we should see at least a short-term bounce or recovery from here on the weekly timeframe. NFA
Moving Averages
EUR/USD Holding Intact Despite Soft Inflation and Oil SpikeEUR/USD probed the top of its monthlong range on Wednesday, closing at a three-week high just below 1.1470, before easing back under 1.1450 through Thursday's U.S. session. The pair has largely absorbed this week's softer inflation prints and shrugged off the initial lift they provided, leaving it hemmed inside the roughly 1.1350 to 1.1450 band that has contained it for about a month. Rather than pressing the upside, EUR/USD has drifted back toward the middle of the range as the Dollar reasserts a firm tone.
The fundamental backdrop has quietly shifted beneath the price action. This week's CPI and PPI both landed below expectations, softening the near-term inflation picture, but a fresh climb in oil has since begun to overshadow those misses. Heightened geopolitical tension, with U.S. strikes against Iran intensifying and Brent pushing above $85, has revived inflation concerns and firmed the case for further tightening, while also lending the Dollar a safe-haven bid. The same oil shock cuts the other way for the Euro, weighing more heavily on Eurozone growth prospects given the region's reliance on imported energy. With the Fed and ECB otherwise viewed in broadly similar positions, that asymmetry in how the two economies absorb the oil move has been enough to keep the Dollar supported and the Euro capped.
In the above chart, EUR/USD rates continue to respect a monthlong consolidation, with ~1.1450 reasserting itself as former support turned resistance. Wednesday's close just under 1.1470 marked a brief peek above that hurdle, but the failure to hold there and the subsequent slip back below 1.1450 leaves the range unbroken and the breakout unconfirmed. Within the holding pattern, short-term traders can watch the 20-day EMA (exponential moving average), sitting right at today's low, to gauge whether it holds as near-term support. A decisive push through 1.1470 would reopen the path toward 1.16, while a move below 1.1350 would validate what is shaping up as a bear flag and shift focus to the downside. With no major data due between now and next week's ECB meeting, geopolitical developments may prove the most likely catalyst to break the pair out of its range.
RKLB — EMA 200 Confluence Approaching | High-Value Accumulation Technical Setup:
After an extended rally, RKLB is pulling back toward a historically significant support zone between $73–77 — where the Daily EMA 200 converges with one of the most powerful confluence areas on the chart:
Point of Control (POC) — highest volume traded zone
Double Bottom structure
Prior swing low
Daily EMA 200 dynamic support
Historically, every time RKLB has revisited the EMA 200 on the daily timeframe, it has been a launching pad for the next major bullish leg — and there is no reason to expect this time to be different given the strengthening fundamental backdrop.
Most likely scenario: A controlled dip into the $74–77 zone → accumulation → reversal and continuation of the uptrend.
🎯 Target: Retest of prior highs and beyond
🛑 Invalidation: Daily close below $73 — a decisive break here would signal the broader uptrend is compromised and warrants a full exit

Sector: SNDK = SanDisk · NAND flash / enterprise SSD · WDC spin-off (2025) — AI data-center storage and the NAND shortage thesis (Micron tight supply, multi-year LTAs with price floors), not GPU silicon.
Tape (Jun–8 Jul): Mixed supercycle → reset — June +~34% on Micron FQ3 blowout (25 Jun) and PT hikes (Citi $2,500, Bernstein $3,000, BofA $2,500, Goldman $2,200); early July sentiment reversal — Meta Compute oversupply scare (01–02 Jul, SNDK −~14%) and Samsung sell-the-news (06–07 Jul) erased most June gains (−31% from the June peak by 07 Jul). Analysts still cite ~$42B contracted backlog and LTAs — but late-window tape is profit-taking / glut narrative, not a fresh upgrade chase.
Near-term: SK Hynix (SKHY) Nasdaq listing (~10 Jul) — competition for US AI-memory flows; FQ4 earnings (~13 Aug, confirm IR) — NAND ASP / LTA guide.

█ OUTLOOK
Positive factors
- 85% WR · PF 14.1 — rare payoff skew on a 40-day US equity sample
- Fresh daily entry inside the 24h publish window — first bar on the high-WR template
- ALMA — daily stretch (fuel): 1D SHORT · S:5 vs SAvg 2.4 OVERHEAT-S — time below the daily band exceeds norm · MR fuel on the crash, not «SHORT = bearish»
- ALMA — execution ladder: 1H LONG · L:3 · 4H LONG · L:1 at the band — fast boards aligned with the new daily long · 15m S:1 first bar below fast ALMA (touch, not chase)
- EMA — overheated below (fuel): 1H Cur S:29 vs Avg S:6.7 · +4.5% dev — stretched below-session on the fast ladder after the July flush
- SMC — at the fill ~$1,618: 4H FVG Raid Bull bull-event bounce B 63.4% Br36.6% (n=71) · 1D raid B 68.4% Br31.6% (n=19) — close ≥ ref follow-through at the entry print · aligns with 1D ALMA long
- SMC — 4H: OB Enter Normal Bull @ ~$1,618 · bounce B55.6% Br44.4% (n=9) — bid-side structure at fill
- TL AI — Support Break 06 Jul: bounce B 81% Br19% (n=47) — elevated post-break bounce history on SNDK; supports the MR template despite the TL label
- Scoring: long +31.3 vs short −21.3 on the snapshot board
Negative factors
- EMA — young below (execution TF): 1D Cur S:4 vs Avg S:7.7 · +9.0% dev — below-session not yet overstretched on the daily chart; selloff can extend before the 1D ALMA band works
- EMA — overheated above (slow charts): 3D Cur L:78 vs Avg L:2.3 · −15.4% dev — long above-session on slow EMA after the June spike · giveback / coil risk even with price back near the line
- EMA — weekly crash context: 1W Above · L:23 · −51.2% dev — extreme unwind from the YTD memory rally; gap risk on headline opens
- ALMA — slow boards young: 3D/1W both SHORT · S:2 ≈ SAvg ~2.1 — higher-TF below-band time not stretched yet vs the overheated 1D read
- SMC — overhead ~$1,745 (02 Jul bull FVG): prior June shelf · bull-event bounce B 81.3% Br18.8% (n=16) — first test is a reaction zone, not a free pass; 06 Jul bear FVG formed/filled adds fresh supply into the same area
- Gap risk on memory-sector headlines — −10% stop can slip on the US open
Takeaway: the 85% WR daily template, 1D ALMA OVERHEAT-S, 1H below-EMA stretch, and SMC/TL bounce at ~$1,618 align with a post-crash MR entry — but 1D young below-EMA and 3D overheated above-time cap the first leg; exit path remains Pine / −10%, not a chase back to ~$1,745 without ALMA/EMA cooperation.
Base case: 1D ALMA holds ~$1,618–1,680 · 1H/4H long boards hold · slow grind toward prior supply ~$1,745 if memory sentiment stabilizes.
Bear case: lose daily ALMA · 1D young below extends · 4H liquidation flush · −10% toward ~$1,456 from ~$1,618 entry.

Offset in-window: Wheat Ridge hydromet demo commissioned 15 Jun with first separated oxides targeted Q3 2026.
Execution is 12H ALMA on the post-selloff bar (~$18.43), not a Q3 oxide-catalyst preview or policy headline chase.
═
█ OUTLOOK
Positive factors
- 77% WR · PF 2.6 on a 95-day 12H US equity sample — workable skew for a volatile small-cap template
- Post-crash MR frame: June −23% + early-July probe selloff leaves price ~$18–19 vs 52-week span $10.50–$43.98 — selloff context for a mean-reversion sleeve, not a breakout chase
- Wheat Ridge Q3 2026 oxide milestone (15 Jun commissioning) — one operational proof point in the window if execution stays on schedule
- US critical-minerals policy support (Commerce / CHIPS equity path) — sector beta for Western REE names even when tape is messy
- Hard −10% stop from ~$18.43 (~$16.59) caps nominal script risk on the first leg
Negative factors
- Regulatory / legal overhang: Warren-led probe (6 Jul) + China export-control symbolism (22 Jun) — headline gap risk on US opens
- Russell exit-driven selling and S-3 share-overhang narrative still in recent tape — float pressure can extend below the first ALMA add
- MP Materials lawsuit / IP narrative — distraction and competitive noise in US magnet supply chain
- Pre-revenue, capital-intensive buildout — commercial magnet scale and Round Top PFS (~end 2026) not yet in hand
- Sparse live factor board on USAR in the desk snapshot batch — no fresh EMA/ALMA/VWAP/SMC rows to confirm discount stretch at paste time; technical confirmation lags the equity headline read
- Single first lot — no averaged discount yet if the 12H bar extends lower before adds qualify
- Small-cap gap risk — −10% stop can slip on a policy headline open
Takeaway: the 77% WR 12H template and post-June selloff context support a disciplined MR long at ~$18.43, but regulatory probe noise, index exit selling, and missing fresh technical board data cap conviction — script-backed bounce sleeve vs headline overhang, not a clean rare-earth breakout; nominal risk stays on −10% / Pine exit.
Base case: 12H ALMA holds ~$17.50–19.50 · headline noise fades into range · slow grind if Wheat Ridge Q3 narrative stays intact.
Bear case: lose 12H ALMA · probe headlines accelerate · China-list symbolism triggers another flush · −10% toward ~$16.59 from ~$18.43 entry.

Pre-Earnings Triangle in Tesla Tesla has been struggling all year, and now some traders may see risk of a break to the downside.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the tight range since July 2. The EV giant has made lower highs while remaining above roughly $390.50. That could be viewed as a bearish triangle, with potential for a move lower if support breaks.
Second, TSLA tried unsuccessfully to break its late-2024 high in December before making lower weekly highs. That may be consistent with a longer-term top.
Third, the 50-, 100- and 200-day simple moving averages are close to each other and essentially moving sideways. Could that long-term neutrality morph into bearishness?
Next, some chart watchers may see potential for prices to slide toward the 52-week low below $300.
Finally, TSLA is a highly active underlier in the options market. (Its average daily volume of 2.8 million contracts ranks second in the S&P 500, according to TradeStation data.) That could help traders take positions with calls and puts – especially with earnings due after the closing bell next Wednesday, July 22.

BTC: Channel Resistance Holds — Another Leg Down Ahead?Bitcoin continues to respect the bearish channel highlighted in my previous analysis on the 4H timeframe.
What's even more interesting is the internal descending trendline running through the middle of the channel, which has repeatedly acted as both support and resistance, helping define the market's short-term direction.
Price has once again been rejected from the upper boundary of the channel, suggesting the bears remain in control for now.
🐻 Bearish Factors
📉 Bearish Channel Intact
🚧 Rejection from Confluence Resistance Zone
The latest rejection from the channel top increases the probability of another move toward lower support.
🎯 Bearish Scenario
➡️ If sellers maintain control, the first area to watch is the internal trendline support near 61K.
🎯 Target 1: 61K (Mid-Channel Trendline Support)
🎯 Target 2: 57K–58K (Lower Boundary of the Bearish Channel)
A breakdown below the trendline would significantly increase the probability of another test of channel support.
🟢 Bullish Case
Despite the rejection, the bulls have achieved one important milestone.
✅ BTC has reclaimed the 4H EMA200, which now acts as dynamic support for the first time in this correction.
👀 The key question is whether buyers can defend this level and build enough momentum to challenge the descending channel once again.
A successful breakout above the channel would be the first meaningful sign that the current downtrend is losing strength.
❌ Bearish Invalidation
🟢 A decisive breakout above the descending channel, supported by strong volume, would invalidate this bearish thesis and shift the short-term bias back in favor of the bulls.
💡 For now, BTC remains trapped between two key technical forces: the 4H EMA200, which is attempting to support price from below, and the descending channel, which continues to cap every rally. Whichever side breaks first is likely to dictate Bitcoin's next major move. 👀

Positive factors

- ALMA — slow grids still short: 1D / 3D SHORT phase · 1D Cur S:3 vs SAvg:3.5 — daily band not fully flipped; 4H long needs faster-TF follow-through

- Twin correlated templates at one price — same beta, not diversification
- RWA headline risk: CLARITY / stablecoin-yield headlines can gap 4H perps

First rejection from the 50d EMA As expected, BTC wicked above the strong resistance zone I highlighted (65k–66k area), tagged the 50d EMA + 0.786 Fib retracement, took out resting shorts, and got rejected.
Additional observations:
The significant buy wall at 63k has now disappeared → this could make further sell-offs easier.
On the heatmap, longs stacked between 60k–61k are starting to look vulnerable.
Short-Term Order flow observations:
Spot buying has paused for now
Some futures selling returning
Open Interest starting to fall again (longs closing)
liquidation heatmap + order flow charts on my X
The overall trend is still intact for now, but I remain short in this zone. The risk/reward still looks favorable for a bigger leg down.
NFA - always manage risk first!
Another Rejection at 65KHello, traders!🌴
Yesterday I mentioned:
"Although Bitcoin has been repeatedly testing the 65K area over the past 24 hours, we still haven't seen a convincing close above it. That means it's too early to consider this resistance broken."
As expected, 65K proved to be a tough🪓🪓🪓 level for the bulls and rejected price once again.
As of July 16, Bitcoin has fallen back below this resistance. However, as long as price remains above the 4H EMA 200, currently around 63,800, I view this pullback as nothing more than a pause before another attempt to break above 65K🚀
🧨If the correction gains momentum and starts breaking below both the 4H EMA 200 and EMA 100, the key support levels remain unchanged:
• 62,500 — Key support level where price has been consolidating since early June
• 60,800 — Local horizontal support
• 60,000 — Strong horizontal support
Peace🌅
Sterling Clears 1.35 as Soft PPI Cracks the DollarGBP/USD rallied around 1% over the past seven hours, clearing both 1.34 and 1.35 within the same session to trade above 1.3550 by Tuesday afternoon. The move puts Sterling up more than 1.5% from this week's lows and marks the highest level since May 12. The pace and breadth of the advance stand out against a backdrop in which the U.S. Dollar largely shrugged off softer CPI data yesterday.
The rally reflects a combination of forces working in Sterling's favor. On the domestic side, fading U.K. political uncertainty has lifted the pound, while on the U.S. side, a softer than expected PPI print has weighed on the Dollar. That second leg is the more notable development: the Dollar had held up reasonably well through June even as both CPI and PPI came in soft, so today's reaction looks like the clearest crack yet in an otherwise resilient Dollar. Whether the move has legs will depend on whether it is underpinned by a genuine shift in the Dollar or simply a burst of political optimism that fades once positioning settles.
In the above chart, GBP/USD has broken decisively higher through 1.35, exposing a fresh range with the next resistance sitting above 1.36. Price has also pulled clear of its major moving averages, which had been clustered around 1.340 and now sit below as potential support. Momentum is firmly to the upside, but the scale of the move warrants some caution: today's range is running at roughly double the pair's average true range (ATR), and with RSI approaching 70 a near-term pullback would not be surprising even if the broader uptrend holds. A single strong session does not confirm a trend, and some consolidation may be needed before the durability of the breakout can be judged.

Bitcoin Rebounds After CPI—Can Bulls Reclaim the 200_EMA(Weekly)Yesterday, following the release of the U.S. CPI data , Bitcoin ( BINANCE:BTCUSDT ) rallied alongside Gold ( OANDA:XAUUSD ) and other financial assets. As a result, Bitcoin climbed back toward the heavy resistance zone ($76,600-$64,850), the 50_EMA (Daily), the upper line of the Descending Channel, and the Cumulative Short Liquidation Leverage($66,000-$65,420).
From an Elliott Wave perspective, Bitcoin still appears to be completing sub-wave C of sub-wave Y within the main wave 4. The overall structure of the main wave 4 currently seems to be developing as a Double Three Correction (W-X-Y).
A few moments ago, the U.S. PPI report was released. However, a large portion of its impact had already been priced in after yesterday’s CPI release. In fact, the PPI data mainly confirmed the disinflation scenario rather than providing new information to the market. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that Bitcoin’s reaction to today's PPI report may not be as strong as yesterday’s reaction to the CPI data.
I expect Bitcoin to resume its bearish move in the coming hours and decline at least toward the Cumulative Long Liquidation Leverage($63,530-$63,180). If Bitcoin breaks the key trading level of $62,800 with strong bearish momentum, we could expect a much deeper correction.
First Target: Cumulative Long Liquidation Leverage($63,530-$63,180)
Second Target: $62,423
Stop Loss(SL): $66,620
Cumulative Short Liquidation Leverage: $68,650-$67,500
Cumulative Long Liquidation Leverage: $61,500-$60,500
Cumulative Long Liquidation Leverage: $58,300-$57,700
Note: One of the most important moving averages to monitor is the 200_EMA(Weekly). Bitcoin is still trading below this moving average, and as long as it fails to close a weekly candle above it, the probability of another bearish move remains high.
Note: A key level Bitcoin must break for further decline is $62,800.
Note: Since global markets are currently sensitive to the Middle East tensions, it's important to monitor geopolitical developments and be even more disciplined with risk management.
What’s your view on Bitcoin? Can it reclaim the 200_EMA(Weekly) and continue its bullish trend, or should we prepare for another correction?

Bandhan Bank Breakout: Multi-Year Base Signals Strong Bullish ReBandhan Bank is displaying one of the strongest bullish structures on the weekly chart, with price decisively reclaiming the ₹200–210 resistance zone after months of accumulation. The breakout follows a prolonged base formation, indicating a potential shift from a corrective phase to a sustained uptrend.
The stock is now trading above key moving resistance levels while maintaining a series of higher highs and higher lows, confirming strengthening momentum. Rising volumes during the advance reinforce institutional participation, adding credibility to the breakout.
A sustained move above ₹218–220 could trigger the next leg of the rally toward the ₹250–255 zone, which marks the next major higher-timeframe resistance. As long as the stock holds above ₹200, the breakout remains intact, making Bandhan Bank a strong bullish candidate for medium-term investors.
7555 Confirmed. Next Stop: ATH?Hello, traders!
Yesterday, after the pullback reached the 7500, I highlighted the following:
"The fact that the pullback is currently finding support at the 4H EMA 100 while also holding above the 1H EMA 100 and EMA 200 is clearly a bullish sign. For that reason, I expect another attempt to break through 7555 in the near future."
That scenario has now played out as expected. ✅Price has reached 7555 and is currently attempting to establish acceptance above this key level.
As I mentioned previously, if SPX manages to hold above 7555, I expect the move to accelerate toward the all-time high at 7625.
🐻🪓 It's important not to forget the alternative scenario.
If 1H, 4H EMA 100, EMA 200 are broken with strong momentum, the next key support levels become:
• 7300 — Local horizontal support
• 7200 — Area of the 1D EMA 100
• 7000 — Previous all-time high
Peace🌅

Above 65K, the Path to 67,600 Is Wide OpenHello, traders!
Let's confirm that all targets from the scenario shared on July 13 have now been reached:
✅ 62,800–63,100 — Cluster of the 1H EMA 100 & EMA 200 and the 4H EMA 100
✅ 63,700 — 4H EMA 200
✅ 64,890 — Strong horizontal resistance formed during February–March 2026
💎With all targets achieved, it's time to define the next upside objective and update the key support and resistance levels.
Although Bitcoin has been repeatedly testing the 65k area over the past 24 hours, we still haven't seen a convincing close above it. That means it's too early to consider this resistance broken.
The main resistance zone remains:
🦬🚀64,890–65,000 — Major horizontal resistance formed during February–March 2026 and confirmed multiple times in June.
If Bitcoin manages to break above this zone and hold it as support, I don't see any significant resistance until the next major target at:
🦬🚀67,600 — Another major horizontal resistance formed during February–March 2026 and confirmed again in June.
🐻🪓Current support levels:
• 62,500 — Key support level where price has been consolidating since early June
• 60,800 — Local horizontal support
• 60,000 — Strong horizontal support
Peace, everyone🌄

BTC Short Setup triggered!-> $285.63M in short liquidations in the last 24h.
-> Almost the entire cluster at 65k has been taken out.
-> Price is now sitting right on the 50d EMA + 0.786 Fib retracement — an important key level.
->I can imagine that, especially given yesterday’s news, price might eventually push through… but this is still strong resistance for now and a pullback looks very possible. Overall I’m still expecting new lows for BTC.
-> This is definitely worth a try here. I’ve placed a wide stop at $66,200 because this is a swing trade and I want room for a bigger move down. NFA

GOLD SELL SETUP | 1H TIME FRAMEGOLD SELL SETUP | 1H TIME FRAME
Gold has broken below the key support level and is now approaching a potential retest of the resistance zone around 4035. If price rejects this area, it may present a selling opportunity in line with the current market structure.
Adding to the bearish outlook, the EMA 9 is crossing below the EMA 20, confirming weakening bullish momentum and supporting the bearish bias.
Sell Zone: 4035 (Resistance Retest)
Technical Targets:
- Target 1: 4025
- Target 2: 3991
- Target 3: 3963
This analysis is based on technical price action and should be combined with proper risk management and trade confirmation before entering any position.
Understand the market view and make informed trading decisions through disciplined technical analysis.
BTC starting to reach my short zone!→ BTC finally showed some real momentum and proper spot buying today (after inflation data, that came out better than expected)
→ We’re now reaching the strong resistance zone + short liquidation cluster I highlighted earlier
→ This move was mostly news-driven, which has added more imbalances and new high-leverage longs below
→ While a push higher is still possible, price is getting quite overextended on the lower timeframes
This is the area where I will slowly start looking for shorts. NFA
Previously mentioned Resistance Confluence that is now being reached:
-> 50D ema
-> Short liquidation cluster
-> 0.786 Fib retracement
-> VWAP for 82.5k high (slightly higher)
NOC trades at $541.82, sitting 0.8x weekly ATR from its 200-weekNOC trades at $541.82, sitting 0.8x weekly ATR from its 200-week EMA. That distance places it inside the defined buy zone (≤1x ATR from the 200W EMA), well short of extended (≤4x). The 200-week EMA is up 21% over the last two years and still rising.
Gate 1, trend A rising 200W EMA with price pulled back to touch it, not through it, is the structural definition of an intact long-term uptrend resting at support rather than breaking down. That's the first gate, and it's confirmed here.
Gate 2, momentum Confirm momentum is turning up from this level rather than still falling before treating this as a live entry. A pullback to trend support is not the same as a base already forming. Wait for the weekly candle to show the reset resolving before sizing in.
Gate 3, risk Entry zone: near $514. Scale-out targets, scaled to this asset's own ATR: TP1 → $677 (+32%) TP2 → $840 (+63%) TP3 → $1,100 (+114%)
Volatility context: 14-day ATR is $13.28, average daily range $11.95. A 1.5x ATR stop from entry is roughly $19.92 of room. No trailing stop until price reclaims and holds above the 50-week EMA, tightening risk before the trend has actually resumed adds unnecessary noise-driven stop-outs.
The seasonality overlay Averaged over the last five years, NOC has posted positive returns in July, August, September, and October, its strongest four consecutive months of the calendar year. That window is the one starting now, directly off this pullback to structural support. A trend-confirmed entry and a favorable seasonal window rarely line up in the same name at the same time. Both being true simultaneously here is the reason this is worth a chart rather than a passing mention.
Build in stages rather than one entry. No leverage. Assess Gate 1 first, then Gate 2, then size Gate 3 off current ATR, not a static stop distance.
