Forex Basics: 2. Understanding Orders and Market BehaviorBefore starting, make sure to check out Part 1, where we covered the basics of Forex, including currency pairs, pips, spreads, lot sizes, and leverage.
Part 1:Forex Basics Every Beginner Must Know!
1. Types of Orders?
-------------------
In Forex, an order is simply an instruction given to your broker to buy or sell a currency pair. Some orders are executed immediately, while others are executed only when the price reaches a specific level.
Orders are mainly divided into two categories:
Market Orders
Pending Orders
1. Market Order: A Market Order means buying or selling immediately at the current market price. As soon as you place the order, your trade is executed instantly. Market orders are used when you want to enter the market right away.
A. Buy Market Order: When you place a Buy Market Order, you expect the price to rise.
B. Sell Market Order: When you place a Sell Market Order, you expect the price to fall.
2. Pending Orders: Sometimes traders do not want to enter the market immediately. Instead, they want the trade to open automatically when the price reaches a certain level. These orders are called Pending Orders.
There are four types of pending orders:
Buy Limit
Sell Limit
Buy Stop
Sell Stop
1. Buy Limit Order
———————
A Buy Limit Order is placed below the current market price. It is used when you expect the price to fall first and then move upward.
Example
Suppose EUR/USD is currently trading at 1.1000.
You believe the price may drop to 1.0950 and then continue rising.
Instead of buying immediately, you place a Buy Limit Order at 1.0950.
If the price falls to 1.0950, the trade opens automatically.
If the market then rises to 1.1050, you make a profit.
In simple words:
Current Price = 1.1000
Buy Limit = 1.0950
Expectation:
Price goes down first and then moves up.
2. Sell Limit Order
————————
A Sell Limit Order is placed above the current market price. It is used when you expect the price to rise first and then move downward.
Example
Suppose EUR/USD is trading at 1.1000.
You believe the price may rise to 1.1050 before falling.
Instead of selling immediately, you place a Sell Limit Order at 1.1050.
If the price reaches 1.1050, the trade opens automatically.
If the market then falls to 1.1000, you make a profit.
In simple words:
Current Price = 1.1000
Sell Limit = 1.1050
Expectation:
Price goes up first, then down.
3. Buy Stop Order
————————
A Buy Stop Order is placed above the current market price.
It is used when you expect the price to continue rising after breaking a certain level.
Example:
Suppose EUR/USD is trading at 1.1000.
You believe that if the price breaks above 1.1050, it will continue moving upward.
You place a Buy Stop Order at 1.1050.
If the price reaches 1.1050, your trade opens automatically.
If the market later rises to 1.1100, you make a profit.
In simple words:
Current Price = 1.1000
Buy Stop = 1.1050
Expectation:
Price goes up and continues moving higher.
4. Sell Stop Order:
————————
A Sell Stop Order is placed below the current market price.
It is used when you expect the price to continue falling after breaking a certain level.
Example:
Suppose EUR/USD is trading at 1.1000.
You believe that if the price breaks below 1.0950, it will continue moving downward.
You place a Sell Stop Order at 1.0950.
If the price reaches 1.0950, your trade opens automatically.
If the market later falls to 1.0900, you make a profit.
In simple words:
Current Price = 1.1000
Sell Stop = 1.0950
Expectation:
Price goes down and continues moving lower.
Note:
A. Limit Orders expect a reversal.
B. Stop Orders expect a breakout.
2. Bid Price and Ask Price?
------------------------
When you look at a Forex pair, you will always see two prices.
Bid Price → The price at which you can sell.
Ask Price → The price at which you can buy.
The difference between these two prices is called the Spread.
Example:
Bid Price = 1.1000
Ask Price = 1.1002
Spread = 2 pips
This means every trade starts with a small cost, which is the spread.
3. Trading Sessions:
-------------------
The Forex market operates 24 hours a day because different countries open and close at different times.
There are four major trading sessions:
Sydney Session
Tokyo Session
London Session
New York Session
However, each session behaves differently. Some sessions are calm, while others are highly volatile.
Understanding these sessions helps traders know when the market is likely to move the most.
1. Sydney Session:
The Sydney Session is the first session to open after the weekend.
Generally, this session is quiet and has lower volatility because fewer traders are active.
Price movements are usually smaller compared to other sessions.
Because of this, many traders use this time to observe the market rather than look for large moves.
2. Tokyo Session (Asian Session)
The Tokyo Session is also known as the Asian Session.
Compared to the Sydney Session, trading activity increases, but volatility is still relatively low.
Currency pairs involving the Japanese Yen (JPY), Australian Dollar (AUD), and New Zealand Dollar (NZD) are usually more active during this period.
Example: USD/JPY, EUR/JPY, AUD/USD, NZD/USD
During this session, prices often move within a range and trends are generally slower.
3. London Session
The London Session is considered one of the most important sessions in Forex.
This session has very high trading volume because many banks, institutions, and traders participate in the market.
As a result, price movements become larger and volatility increases.
Many strong trends begin during the London Session.
Currency pairs such as:
EUR/USD, GBP/USD, EUR/GBP, USD/CHF
often experience significant movement during this period.
Because of the high volatility, this session is preferred by many day traders and scalpers.
4. New York Session
The New York Session is another highly active session. Major economic news releases from the United States are often announced during this time. As a result, volatility can increase rapidly.
Currency pairs containing the US Dollar usually experience strong price movements.
Examples: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/CAD, USD/JPY
The first half of the New York Session is generally more active than the second half.
As the session approaches closing time, market activity gradually decreases.
Important Topic: London and New York Overlap
When the London Session and New York Session are open at the same time, trading activity reaches its peak.
This period is considered one of the busiest times in the Forex market.
During this overlap:
Trading volume is highest.
Volatility increases.
Spreads are usually lower.
Strong price movements are common.
Because of these reasons, many traders prefer trading during this period.
Session Comparison:
4. Margin Call
-----------------
A Margin Call happens when the funds available in your trading account become too low to support your open positions. In simple words, it is a warning from your broker that your losses are increasing and your account does not have enough money to maintain the trades. This usually happens when the market moves against your position and your account equity falls below a certain level required by the broker.
If losses continue to increase, the broker may automatically close some or all of your open trades to prevent your account balance from going negative. This process is known as a Stop Out.
For example, suppose you have $100 in your account and open a large position using leverage. If the market moves against you and your losses become too large, your available margin will decrease. Once it reaches the broker's minimum requirement, a Margin Call occurs, and if the losses continue, the broker may close your trades automatically to protect both you and the broker from further losses.
5. Stop Loss and Take Profit
---------------------------------
Whenever traders open a trade, they can set two important price levels:
1. Stop Loss (SL)
2. Take Profit (TP)
These levels help traders manage risk and profits automatically.
1. Stop Loss:
A Stop Loss is a price level where your trade automatically closes to limit your losses.
In simple words, it acts as a safety net that prevents small losses from becoming very large losses.
Example:
Suppose you buy EUR/USD at 1.1000.
You set your Stop Loss at 1.0950.
If the market falls to 1.0950, your trade will close automatically.
Loss = 50 pips.
2. Take Profit:
A Take Profit is a price level where your trade automatically closes after reaching your desired profit.
Example:
Suppose you buy EUR/USD at 1.1000.
You set your Take Profit at 1.1100.
If the price rises to 1.1100, your trade closes automatically.
Profit = 100 pips.
In simple words:
Stop Loss protects your capital.
Take Profit locks in your profits.
6. Profit and Loss Calculation
----------------------------------
Profit and loss in Forex mainly depend on three things:
Lot size.
Number of pips moved.
Direction of your trade.
Example:
Suppose you buy EUR/USD.
Lot Size = 0.10 lot.
Price moves from 1.1000 to 1.1020.
Difference = 20 pips.
Profit = $20.
Similarly, if the market moves down by 20 pips,
Loss = $20.
The larger the lot size, the larger the profit and loss.
7. Why Beginners Should Use a Demo Account
--------------------------------------------------
Before risking real money, many traders start with a Demo Account.
A Demo Account allows you to trade using virtual money while experiencing real market conditions.
This helps beginners understand:
How to place orders.
How leverage works.
How profits and losses change.
How to manage risk.
Because no real money is involved, traders can learn without fear of losing capital. However, emotions are different when trading with real money. Therefore, many traders move from a Demo Account to a Live Account only after gaining enough experience.
Holy Grail Note: Learning Forex is not only about making profits. Understanding risk management and protecting your capital is equally important. Many beginners focus only on profits, but experienced traders focus first on controlling losses.
In Part 3, we will move from how trades work to how traders analyze the market using candlesticks, timeframes, trends, support and resistance, and basic market structure.
On @TradingView By @BrightRally_Research Nifty Bank Analysis [For 24.06.2026: Wednesday]Probable Scenario Analysis of Nifty Bank for the 24th of June, 2026. The day is Wednesday.
🟢 Bullish Scenario
There is no observable bullish scenario. Doubt every up move. Think of a bullish trade only if the price trades and sustains above the level of 58000. The probable bullish targets above the level of 58000 would be - 58250 and 58500.
🔴 Bearish Scenario
Presently, the price is in a bearish zone. If the price stays below the level of 57500, then stay bearish only. Doubt every up move. The probable bearish targets below the level of 57500 would be - 57250, 57000, and 56750. The price would fill an unfilled gap (at 56800 approx.) and take support at 56750. Next, if the price decisively trades below the level of 56750, then the probable bearish target would be 56500. The price would receive good support at the level of 56500.
🟡 No Trading Zone (NTZ): (58000 - 57500)
⏺ Range of Consolidation (ROC): (57500 - 56500).
Here, the level of 57000 is the median of the ROC. The median works like a sentiment. The price trading above the median would offer bullish sentiment, while the price trading below the median would trigger bearish sentiment.
🟧 Technical Pattern: Double Top Pattern as a Trend Reversal Pattern
It is observed that the price has formed a double top at the level of 58000. Here, the level of 57500 is the neckline of the double top pattern. The neckline is decisively broken. Presently, there is no sign of bullishness. Doubt every up move. Look for bearish trades only.
● Event
There are no high-impact events on Wednesday. On Thursday, there will be SENSEX monthly expiry. Thus, Thursday will be a very critical day. Lastly, Friday is a national holiday (Muharram). We have only two trading days left.
● Intraday Bias
Establish intraday bias with respect to the opening price. If the price sustains above the opening price, then don't think of shorting. Look for bullish trades only. On the contrary, if the price sustains below the opening price, then don't think of going long. Look for bearish trades in that case.
● Top-Down Analysis:
- Monthly TF: A green spinning top candle is formed. The level of 58000 is a major resistance level. The level of 57000 is a weak support. Lastly, the level of 56500 is a major support. The view is bullish to indecision.
- Weekly TF: A red marubozu is formed that has engulfed the movement of the previous doji candle. It looks like a sign of reversal. Strong resistance at 58000. Weak support at 57000. The level of 56750 seems to be achievable due to the availability of a GAP. Strong support is at 56500. The view is bullish, with signs of trend reversal.
- Daily TF: A big red marubozu. Doubt every up move. Weak support at 57000. Major support at 56500. There is a high chance of GAP filling till the level of 56750.
- 30-minute TF: The previous structure of higher-highs and lower-lows is exhausted. There is a clear sign of trend reversal (bullish to bearish). The view is bearish.
● Disclaimer + End Note
- All the analyses would fail in the case of a major gap up, gap down, or price structure anomaly. Thus, practice PRAGMATISM in the live session.
- Trade only if there is a set-up. Remember, not trading is an extension of the trading activity.
- Mark your points. Trade your points. Price is GOD. Anything can happen in the markets. Thus, trade what you see, not what you believe.
- Always PRACTICE RISK MANAGEMENT. Always PROTECT YOUR CAPITAL. Be RESPONSIBLE.
- Be Strategic. Be Courageous. Be Patient. Be Wise.
- Every day is a new day. Thus, do not carry the baggage of past successes or failures. Leave the gardens of winning and losing. Establish yourself in equanimity. Always think from a new perspective.
- Let the joy of trading drive your effectiveness, not greed or fear. Believe in Possibilities.
Happy Trading! BSE: Formation of The H&S Pattern [Clear Sign of Weakness]Probable Scenario Analysis of BSE.
🟢 Bullish Scenario
There is no sign of bullishness. Doubt every up move. There is strong resistance in the zone (4100 - 4000). However, in case the price sustains above the level of 4100, then there might be a weak (or underconfident) bullish move till 4200. But this move should be doubted and played with caution. Next, if the price decisively trades above the level of 4200, then the target is 4300. However, these probable bullish scenarios seem unachievable.
🔴 Bearish Scenario
The price is presently in a bearish structure. The level of 4000 is a crucial point. If the price stays below the level of 4000, then try to identify only bearish trades. Doubt every up move. Firstly, the level of 3900 is easily reachable as there is an unfilled gap. Next, if the price decisively breaks down below the level of 3900, then the probable bearish targets would be - 3800, 3700, and 3600.
🟡 No Trading Zone (NTZ): (4200 - 4000).
In case the price starts to trade in this region, it is recommended not to trade.
🟧 Hypothesis: Evidence of Potential Head-&-Shoulder (H&S) Pattern Formation
If we observe the price action since May 2026 until now, we can observe that BSE has been forming a head-&-shoulder (H&S) pattern. It is a clear sign of weakness. The level of 3900 is a critical level, as it seems to be the NECKLINE of the H&S pattern. If the price decisively trades below the level of 3900, then we can expect at least a 400-point fall (as per the technical analysis study of the H&S pattern).
🔵 Availability of Multiple Unfilled GAPs
If the H&S pattern hypothesis is confirmed, there is a high chance that price will go lower to fill the available gaps. It can be observed that there are multiple unfilled gaps at the levels - 3738 and 3633.
● Insight:
Doubt every up move. Look for bearish trades only. Beware of dead cat bounce.
● Top-Down Analysis:
- Monthly TF: A red hanging man formed at the top of the trend. Major resistance is 4200. Weak support is at 3800. The view is indecision to a sign of trend reversal.
- Weekly TF: It looks like BSE is forming a pole and flag pattern since the last week of May 2026. There is a sign of trend exhaustion. Major resistance is 4200. Weak support is at 3800. If the level of 3800 is broken, then the price might test the lower level of 3640 (an unfilled gap). The view is indecision to a sign of trend exhaustion.
- Daily TF: BSE has formed a lower-lows and lower-highs structure since the last week of May 2026. Bullish strength would only be seen if the price breaks out above the level of 4200 and sustains. The level of 3800 is the final support. If the level of 3800 is broken, then the price might test the lower level of 3640 (an unfilled gap). The view is indecision to a sign of trend exhaustion.
- 30-minute TF: Multiple H&S patterns can be observed. There is no sign of strength; rather, there are clear signs of trend exhaustion. Bullish strength would only be seen if the price breaks out above the level of 4200 and sustains. The level of 3800 is the final support. If the level of 3800 is broken, then the price might test the lower level of 3640 (an unfilled gap). The view is indecision to a sign of trend exhaustion.

Short
Understanding Buyer and Seller Psychology Behind Every candleMost traders begin their journey by learning candlestick patterns, indicators, and trading strategies. They memorize names like Hammer, Engulfing, Doji, and Morning Star, hoping these patterns will reveal the market's next move. But after spending enough time in the market, one question becomes far more important:
Why does price move at all?
The answer is surprisingly simple. Price moves because buyers and sellers constantly disagree on value. Every candle on the chart is the result of this ongoing battle. Behind every green candle, there are buyers willing to pay a higher price. Behind every red candle, there are sellers who believe the price should be lower.
Once you start seeing candles as stories of human behavior rather than just shapes on a chart, the market begins to make much more sense.
Every Candle Tells a Story:
A candlestick is not just an open, high, low, and close. It is a visual representation of emotions.
Imagine a strong bullish candle. Buyers entered with confidence and kept pushing the price higher. Sellers tried to resist, but demand was stronger. The result is a large green candle that shows optimism and strength.
Now think about a long bearish candle. Fear enters the market. Traders rush to exit their positions, sellers become aggressive, and buyers hesitate. The market falls quickly because emotions change faster than most people expect.
This is why experienced traders do not simply look at candles. They ask:
Who is in control?
Are buyers confident?
Are sellers becoming weaker?
Is this move driven by fear or greed?
The answers to these questions often matter more than the pattern itself.
The Real Engine of Price: Supply and Demand
At its core, the market is simply an auction.
When more people want to buy than sell, prices rise.
When more people want to sell than buy, prices fall.
This principle applies everywhere—stocks, forex, cryptocurrencies, commodities, and indices. No indicator can override supply and demand.
Many traders search for complicated formulas, but the market often moves for very simple reasons. Buyers become more aggressive, sellers become more aggressive, or one side temporarily gives up.
Understanding this concept helps traders focus on what actually drives the market instead of chasing every signal they see.
Fear and Greed Move Markets Faster Than Logic:
Markets are made of people, and people are emotional.
When prices rise quickly, greed takes over. Traders fear missing out and start buying simply because others are buying. This creates momentum and pushes prices even higher.
On the other hand, when prices fall sharply, fear spreads. Traders rush to protect their capital, and selling becomes emotional rather than rational.
This is why markets often move farther than people expect.
A strong trend is not only a technical event. It is a reflection of collective emotions.
Understanding this psychology can help traders stay calm when others become emotional.
Why Some Candles Have Long Wicks
One of the most interesting parts of a chart is the wick.
A long lower wick often means sellers pushed the price down, but buyers rejected those lower prices and regained control.
A long upper wick tells the opposite story. Buyers tried to move higher, but sellers stepped in aggressively and forced the price back down.
These rejections are important because they reveal where the market accepts or rejects price.
In many cases, wicks provide a deeper understanding of market sentiment than the candle body itself.
Liquidity and the Bigger Players
Many traders wonder why price sometimes breaks a level, triggers stop losses, and then suddenly reverses.
The reason often lies in liquidity.
Large institutions cannot enter huge positions instantly. They need enough buyers and sellers on the other side of their trades.
Because of this, price is naturally attracted to areas where many orders exist:
Previous highs
Previous lows
Equal highs and lows
Major support and resistance levels
Psychological price levels
What appears to be a fake breakout is sometimes the market searching for liquidity before making its real move.
Stop Memorizing Patterns. Start Understanding Behavior.
Candlestick patterns are useful.
But understanding the emotions behind those patterns is far more powerful.
A Hammer is not just a Hammer.
It represents rejection.
An Engulfing candle is not simply a shape.
It represents a shift in control between buyers and sellers.
Every candle is evidence of what market participants are thinking and feeling.
And that is where true price action begins.
Final words:
Price does not move randomly.
Behind every candle are thousands of decisions made by traders reacting to fear, greed, confidence, uncertainty, hope, and panic.
When you stop focusing only on patterns and begin understanding the psychology behind them, charts become easier to read.
You stop seeing candles as shapes.
You start seeing emotions.
You start seeing battles.
And most importantly, you start understanding "why price moves before trying to predict where it will go next."

XAUUSD: Fed Hawks & War De-escalation Trigger 4HR Structure🧵 The Macro Shift: Connecting Yesterday's Relief to Today's Trend
In yesterday’s analysis, we mapped out a brief bullish relief rally for XAUUSD, which was heavily supported by a sharp plunge in crude oil prices. As energy costs temporarily fell, immediate market pressure eased, allowing gold to catch a minor bid and retest premium structural zones.
Today, however, the dynamic has completely flipped, and the primary bearish trend has resumed. Crude oil has stabilized, while two powerful fundamental catalysts have stepped in to drive institutional order flow:
Hawkish Fed & Rising Opportunity Cost (Gold Bias: Bearish)
Rumors of a potential interest rate hike by December have heavily repriced market expectations. Because gold pays no yield, the threat of "higher-for-longer" rates makes holding cash or buying the surging US Dollar much more attractive to big funds.
Geopolitical Premium Unwinding (Gold Bias: Bearish)
During periods of sudden global tension, institutions rush to buy gold as a "safe haven" because it has no counterparty risk, creating an artificially high price inflation known as a risk premium. Now, with reports of an unexpected 60-day preliminary ceasefire framework between the US and Iran, that immediate fear is leaving the market. When fear drops, institutional investors immediately pull their capital out of protective defensive assets like gold and reallocate those billions back into riskier, high-yielding assets. As this defensive demand completely dries up, it leaves a massive vacuum of buyers, causing XAUUSD to fall rapidly.
📉 Technical Convergence & Strategy
Liquidity Sweeps & Distribution (Gold Bias: Bearish)
This macro shift aligns perfectly with the 4-hour market structure. Yesterday's relief rally did exactly what it was supposed to do: it trapped early buyers and pulled price right into premium supply imbalances. With the buy-side liquidity officially swept at the recent structural highs, the path of least resistance remains heavily downward.
The Demand Zone Block ($4,054–$4,095) (Gold Bias: Short-Term Next/Bullish Bounce)
As price expands downward, the massive 4-hour POI demand zone sitting between $4,054 and $4,095 will act as key short-term structural support. Because major institutional buy orders rest here, expect a temporary demand reaction and a short-term bounce back from this block.
The Ultimate Target ($4,024) (Gold Bias: Medium-Term Bearish)
While the $4,054–$4,095 POI offers a temporary pit-stop, any short-term bounce is viewed purely as a lower-high sub-structure mitigation. The primary objective for this bearish expansion remains the major sell-side liquidity resting at the $4,024 swing low. We expect price to ultimately sweep this level once short-term demand is exhausted.
⚠️ Absolute Risk Warning
Disclaimer: This analysis is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Geopolitical milestones and central bank decisions carry extreme financial risk. Protect your capital, monitor structural closes on the higher timeframes, and manage your risk defensively. XAUUSD — Medium-Term Buy Zone, Waiting For Liquidity Sweep
Gold is trading around $4,118 after rejecting from the short-term OB sell entry zone near $4,185–$4,198. Price has pulled back sharply, but the bigger focus is now shifting to the lower liquidity area.
From an SMC perspective, gold is moving toward a major demand zone where sell-side liquidity and the OB buy zone are sitting together. This area around $4,052–$4,085 is important because it was the origin of the previous bullish reaction and also sits above the strong low near $4,022.
The main plan is not to chase the current move. I prefer to wait for gold to sweep liquidity below $4,052, tap the OB buy zone, then look for bullish confirmation. If buyers defend this zone, gold can build a medium-term recovery back toward $4,198, $4,222, and higher FVG liquidity.
Buy setup 1
Condition:
Gold sweeps sell-side liquidity near $4,052 and reacts from the OB buy zone with bullish MSS / CHOCH confirmation.
Entry: $4,052–$4,085
SL: below $4,020
TP1: $4,118
TP2: $4,198
TP3: $4,222
Buy setup 2
Condition:
If gold holds the OB buy zone and breaks back above $4,198, wait for a retest before looking for continuation.
Entry: $4,185–$4,198 after breakout retest
SL: below $4,150
TP1: $4,222
TP2: $4,260
TP3: $4,285–$4,300
Sell setup
Condition:
Selling is not the priority. A sell setup is only valid if gold rejects again from $4,185–$4,198 and fails to reclaim the buy-side liquidity area.
Entry: $4,185–$4,198 after rejection
SL: above $4,222
TP1: $4,118
TP2: $4,085
TP3: $4,052
Key levels
Current price area: $4,118
OB buy zone: $4,052–$4,085
Strong low: $4,022
OB sell entry: $4,185–$4,198
Week high: $4,222
Upper FVG target: $4,260–$4,300
Bullish invalidation: clean 2H close below $4,020
My current view is that gold may create a stronger medium-term buy opportunity if price returns into the major OB and liquidity zone. The best Prime Gold plan is to wait for liquidity to be taken first, then enter only after bullish structure confirms.
No confirmation, no trade.

XAUUSD — EMA Downtrend Holds, Sell Position Remains Active
Fundamental Analysis
Gold remains under pressure as price continues to trade below the main EMA structure. Traders are still watching USD strength, Treasury yields, and upcoming U.S. macro data.
For now, the technical structure still favours sellers while recovery attempts are rejected from the value sell zone.
Technical Analysis
On the 1H chart, XAUUSD is trading below EMA 34, EMA 89, and EMA 200. The EMA structure is still pointing lower, showing that the short-term trend remains bearish.
Price recently tested the value range around 4,210 - 4,225 but failed to break higher. This rejection shows that buyers are still weak, while sellers continue to defend the EMA downtrend.
The order sell zone around 4,185 - 4,204 has also reacted well. After touching this area, price rejected and moved lower again, confirming that the sell zone is still valid.
As long as gold stays below 4,204 - 4,225, the bearish continuation setup remains active. The main downside target is the Fibonacci and liquidity convergence zone around 4,066.
Important Key Levels
Current price area: 4,177
Order sell zone: 4,185 - 4,204
Value range resistance: 4,210 - 4,225
EMA resistance area: 4,234 - 4,270
Short-term support: 4,140 - 4,120
Fibonacci liquidity target: 4,066 - 4,064
Invalidation area: above 4,225
Trading Scenario
Main Sell Scenario
Entry: 4,185 - 4,204
Stop Loss: 4,225
Take Profit 1: 4,140
Take Profit 2: 4,100
Take Profit 3: 4,066 - 4,064
Sell Condition
The preferred setup is to continue focusing on sell positions while price stays below the value range and EMA resistance.
The sell zone has already reacted well, showing rejection from 4,185 - 4,204. If price retests this area and forms another bearish rejection, the sell continuation setup remains valid.
A break below 4,140 would strengthen bearish momentum and open the way toward 4,100, then the Fibonacci liquidity target around 4,066 - 4,064.
Entry Conditions
Wait for price to stay below 4,204.
Look for bearish rejection on any retest.
A break below 4,140 confirms stronger downside pressure.
If price breaks and holds above 4,225, the sell setup is invalid.
Overall, the main view remains bearish while XAUUSD trades below EMA 34, EMA 89, EMA 200, and the value range resistance. The sell zone has already rejected price, so the preferred plan is to continue focusing on bearish continuation toward 4,140, 4,100, and 4,066.
Do you share the same bearish view on gold, or are you waiting for another retest of the order sell zone?

#BANKNIFTY Intraday PE & CE Levels(23/06/2026)Bank Nifty is expected to open with a flat bias around the 57850–57900 zone as the index continues to consolidate near a crucial resistance area after a strong recovery from lower levels. Despite some profit booking near higher levels, the broader trend remains positive with buyers maintaining control above key support zones.
For today's session, 58050 remains the immediate breakout level to watch. A sustained move above 58050 can trigger fresh buying momentum towards 58250, 58350, and 58450+ levels. The index is currently trading just below a major resistance zone, and a breakout above this level may lead to a fresh bullish expansion.
On the downside, 57950–57900 remains the key intraday resistance-based selling zone. Any weakness from this area may attract profit booking towards 57750, 57650, and 57550 levels. However, as long as Bank Nifty holds above the 57550 support zone, the overall market structure remains bullish and dips are likely to find buying interest. XAUUSD: Bullish Shift in Market Structure to TargetsOverview
Gold (XAUUSD) has shown a strong structural shift on the lower timeframes following a prolonged corrective phase. After taking out internal liquidity and creating a clear Market Structure Shift (MSS), price is currently reacting to a key demand zone, offering an asymmetric long opportunity.
Technical Breakdown
Market Structure Shift (MSS): Following a bearish run that cleared swing lows, price broke aggressively to the upside, invalidating the previous lower high and establishing an MSS.
Demand Zones:
H1-OB (H1 Order Block): Price is currently mitigating the immediate 1-hour bullish order block where structural buying volume stepped in.
Extreme Pivot Point: Located further down, acting as our ultimate invalidation invalidation floor and major institutional support.
Liquidity & Targets: The bearish Break of Structure (BOS) left behind clean buy-side liquidity pools. These will act as magnets for the current bullish expansion.
Trade Parameters
Entry Zone: Retest and confirmation inside the H1-OB ($4,195 - $4,205 range)
Target 1 (Partial TP): $4,235 (Prior structural lower high)
Full Target (Final TP): $4,253 (Major BOS origin level)
Invalidation (Stop Loss): A clean body close below the Extreme Pivot Point (~$4,170). Long 
Fibonacci: Nature Wrote These Levels. Markets Obey ThemFibonacci: Nature Wrote These Levels 800 Years Ago. Markets Have Been Obeying Them Ever Since.
The same mathematical ratio that governs sunflowers, seashells, and galaxies also governs how far stock prices pull back before continuing. This is not a coincidence.
In the 13th century, an Italian mathematician named Leonardo Fibonacci described a number sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89... Each number is the sum of the two before it. And the ratio between consecutive numbers approaches 1.618 — known as the Golden Ratio or Phi.
This ratio appears everywhere in nature:
The spiral of a nautilus shell
The arrangement of seeds in a sunflower
The branching of trees
The proportions of the human body
The structure of DNA
And when traders started applying these ratios to financial markets in the early 20th century — they found, astonishingly, that markets obeyed them too.
Fibonacci Retracement: The Practical Tool
When a market makes a significant move (say from 100 to 200), it rarely continues straight upward forever. It pauses and pulls back. The question every trader faces is: how far will it pull back before resuming?
Fibonacci retracement gives you the exact levels to watch:
23.6% retracement:
A very shallow pullback. Indicates an extremely strong, fast-moving trend. Less commonly used as an entry.
38.2% retracement:
The first significant pullback level. If the trend is strong, price often bounces here. Entry for aggressive traders.
50% retracement:
Not technically a Fibonacci number but included because markets consistently respect the halfway point. Strong psychological level.
61.8% retracement (The Golden Ratio level):
The most important and most respected Fibonacci level in all of trading. More reversals happen here than anywhere else. Called the "Golden Ratio" level. When this level is at a support zone or moving average — it is the highest probability entry available in technical analysis.
78.6% retracement:
Deep pullback. If price reaches here, the original trend is struggling. Only valid as entry if major structural support is present.
Why Do These Levels Work?
There are two schools of thought:
The mathematical view: These ratios represent natural proportions of growth and decay in complex systems. Markets, being the aggregated behavior of millions of human decisions, follow the same mathematical patterns as other natural systems.
The self-fulfilling prophecy view: Because millions of traders globally use the same Fibonacci levels, they all place their buy orders at 61.8%, their stop losses below 78.6%. When everyone is watching the same level and acting on it, the level becomes real by definition.
The truth is likely both. And for a trader, the reason does not matter — the effect does.
The Fibonacci Confluence Setup: The Holy Grail of Technical Analysis
A Fibonacci level alone has moderate reliability. What makes it powerful is confluence — when multiple different tools agree on the same level.
The strongest setups occur when:
61.8% Fibonacci retracement is at the same level as...
A previous support/resistance zone, AND...
A key moving average (50 EMA or 200 SMA), AND...
Volume is drying up on the pullback (sellers losing strength)
When three or four independent tools point to the same price level as significant — that level is not just significant. It is a high-conviction trade setup.

Bearish trend to 4,110 or drop to Macro SSL?⚖️ Macro Backdrop: Strong Yields Suppress Bullion Momentum
Gold kickstarts the new trading week under persistent structural duress as elevated U.S. 10-Year Treasury yields and strong Dollar Index (DXY) traction continue to cap any meaningful upside. Institutional order flow remains systematically focused on premium distribution, capitalizing on the lack of high-impact tier-1 data early this week to engineer clear retail traps. The primary bearish narrative remains fully intact as smart money drives prices into deeper discount liquidity pools.
📉 Technical Narrative: Ziczac Expansion Leg in Progress
The H2 structural layout presents a highly calculated bearish markdown playbook playing out inside the dominant order flow:
1. The Rejection Momentum: Following a brief consolidation, price closed weak and initiated a decisive leg down, confirming that bearish order flow is completely back in control.
2. Liquidity Pool Target 1 (4,110 - 4,120 Corridor): Price is currently expanding directly toward this internal demand zone. This area houses dense buy-side stop-losses from early buyers. A sharp sweep here is expected to trigger a minor, low-volume technical relief bounce.
3. The Pullback Inducement: The projected ziczac path maps out a minor relief bounce from the 4,110 floor to lure breakout sellers before smart money engineered the final expansion downward.
4. The Ultimate Destination (4,035 - 4,045 Floor): The core magnet for this entire cycle remains the Major Sell-Side Liquidity (SSL) Pool resting at the deep macro discount area below.
🔄 IF-THEN Playbook (Execution Scenarios):
• IF price taps the 4,110 internal demand floor and prints a minor technical bounce -> THEN monitor the pullback structures for lower-timeframe failures (M5/M15 CHoCH Rejection) to re-enter premium shorts targeting the 4,040 macro bottom.
• IF price breaks above the 4,210 immediate ceiling with a solid H2 candle close -> THEN the immediate bearish expansion thesis is paused, and we step aside.
🎯 Trading Metrics Summary:
• Current Market Price: 4,176.125
• Near-Term Target Floor: 4,110 — 4,120 Area
• Ultimate Macro Target: 4,035 — 4,045 Area (Major SSL Pool)
• Invalidation Point: Decisive H2 close above 4,210

EURUSD — Corrective Bounce Before Deeper Bearish Continuation
Fundamental Analysis
EURUSD remains under pressure as price continues to trade below the main EMA structure. Traders are still watching USD momentum, Fed expectations, and upcoming macro data.
For now, the recovery looks corrective, not a confirmed bullish reversal. If price fails at the value sell zone, sellers may continue to control the next move.
Technical Analysis
On the 1H chart, EURUSD is still trading below EMA 34, EMA 89, and EMA 200. The EMA structure is above price, showing that the short-term trend remains bearish.
Price is currently around 1.1445 after reacting from the lower buy zone near 1.1436 - 1.1445. This area may support one more corrective bounce before the next bearish leg.
The key sell zone is around 1.1491 - 1.1509. This zone aligns with the Fibonacci 0.618 retracement, previous structure, and value range resistance. If EURUSD reaches this area and rejects, the bearish continuation setup becomes cleaner.
Below current price, the main downside target is around 1.1383 - 1.1384. This is the target zone marked on the chart and may become the next liquidity objective if sellers regain control.
Important Key Levels
Current price area: 1.1445
Buy reaction zone: 1.1436 - 1.1445
Sell value range: 1.1491 - 1.1509
Fibonacci 0.618 sell zone: 1.1491 - 1.1509
EMA resistance area: 1.1498 - 1.1533
Short-term invalidation: above 1.1533
Main downside target: 1.1383 - 1.1384
Trading Scenario
Main Sell Scenario
Entry: 1.1491 - 1.1509
Stop Loss: 1.1533
Take Profit 1: 1.1445
Take Profit 2: 1.1416
Take Profit 3: 1.1383 - 1.1384
Sell Condition
The preferred setup is to wait for EURUSD to create one more corrective bounce into the 1.1491 - 1.1509 value range. This area is the main Fibonacci and resistance zone on the chart.
A sell setup becomes more valid if price forms bearish rejection from this zone, such as a long upper wick, bearish engulfing candle, failed breakout, or lower high below the EMA structure.
If price rejects from the sell zone and breaks back below 1.1436, the bearish continuation view becomes stronger. The next downside target would be 1.1416, followed by the main target around 1.1383 - 1.1384.
Alternative Buy Scenario
Entry: 1.1436 - 1.1445
Stop Loss: 1.1416
Take Profit 1: 1.1481
Take Profit 2: 1.1491
Take Profit 3: 1.1509
Buy Condition
This is only a short-term corrective bounce setup, not the main trend view. A buy setup is valid only if EURUSD holds the 1.1436 - 1.1445 buy zone and forms clear bullish rejection.
If price fails to hold this zone, the bounce scenario is invalid and sellers may push directly toward 1.1383 - 1.1384.
Entry Conditions
Wait for price to reach the value sell zone.
Look for bearish rejection around 1.1491 - 1.1509.
A break below 1.1436 confirms stronger downside pressure.
If price breaks and holds above 1.1533, the sell setup is invalid.
Overall, the main view remains bearish while EURUSD stays below EMA 34, EMA 89, and EMA 200. Price may create one more corrective bounce first, but the preferred plan is to look for sell confirmation from 1.1491 - 1.1509 toward 1.1416 and 1.1383 - 1.1384.
Do you share the same view that EURUSD may bounce first before a deeper drop, or are you waiting for a cleaner rejection from the value sell zone?
3-Way Tug-Of-War | Peace Talks, FOMC Aftermath & The Oil Factor.The Macro Breakdown Behind the Chart
We are currently witnessing a fascinating 3-way algorithmic tug-of-war on XAUUSD, making the 4HR chart a battlefield between conflicting macro forces.
1. The Geopolitical Signal (Bearish Gold)
The breakthrough peace talk roadmap established in Switzerland has stripped the immediate "war premium" out of the markets. Risk-off sentiment should naturally put downward pressure on Gold.
2. The FOMC Aftermath (Bearish Gold)
Both the DXY (Dollar Index) and US Bond Yields are still aggressively pumping due to FOMC & Dot Plot data from last week. Mechanically, higher yields increase the opportunity cost of holding a non-yielding asset like Gold, while a stronger dollar makes it more expensive globally.
Technically Gold should be bearish because of this.
3. The Oil Factor Rotation (Bullish Gold)
The Core Observation : Over the last 3 months of this conflict, a distinct behavioral pattern has emerged: anytime major peace talk progress or good news hit the wires, crude oil plunged violently while Gold simultaneously pumped.
When geopolitical risk deflates, the immediate "war premium" is stripped out of energy markets, causing crude oil to crash. Institutional multi-asset funds then aggressively liquidate their oil hedges and immediately rotate that capital back into Gold as a pure monetary store of value. This powerful, sector-to-sector capital rotation creates massive upward demand for XAUUSD, driving its price up even when facing the heavy headwinds of a surging U.S. Dollar.
🎯 Technical Execution Strategy (4HR Structure)
Because these macro forces are actively fighting each other, trying to force a rigid bias in the middle of the range is a trap. We must let the market declare its hand by watching our engineered high-timeframe boundaries:
🚀 The Upside Levels to Watch
4HR POI (Supply Zone): Sitting right around $4,300.
Major Buy-Side Liquidity: Sits directly above the engineered "XXX" Relative Equal Highs near $4,360 (with major pool depth stretching up toward $4,383).
📉 The Downside Levels to Watch
4HR POI (Demand Zone): Sitting lower in the gray box near $4,060 - $4,096.
Major Sell-Side Liquidity: Sits directly below the clean swing low at the "XXX" bottom line near $4,024.
🧭 My Intraday Game Plan
Price is highly likely to aggressively take out one of these major liquidity pools this week. Instead of guessing the direction, we simply monitor the price action at the boundaries and react:
High-Timeframe Direction: Throughout the day, closely monitor the closing behavior of the 1HR and 4HR candles to identify where the real order flow momentum is shifting.
Lower-Timeframe Execution: Once price enters either the upper or lower POI, drop down to the lower timeframes (1M/5M/15M). Wait for a clear Market Structure Shift (MSS) and a Break of Structure (BOS) to confirm institutional sponsorship before executing your trade in that direction.
Trading Rule: Do not trade in no-man's land. Let the market hit a boundary, wait for the lower timeframe confirmation, and trade cleanly with the trend.
⚠️ Absolute Risk Warning

Protect your capital, monitor structural closes on the higher timeframes, and manage your risk defensively. #NIFTY Intraday Support and Resistance Levels - 22/06/2026Nifty is expected to open with a flat bias around the 24000–24050 zone as the index continues to trade near a key breakout area after a strong recovery from lower levels. The overall structure remains positive, but traders should watch for a decisive move above resistance to confirm fresh bullish momentum.
For today's session, 24050 remains the immediate breakout level. A sustained move above this zone can trigger fresh buying interest towards 24150, 24200, and 24250+ levels. The index has been consolidating near resistance, and a successful breakout may attract further upside participation from market participants.
On the downside, 23950–23900 remains the key support zone for intraday traders. Any weakness below this range may lead to profit booking towards 23850, 23800, and 23750 levels. However, as long as Nifty holds above the 23950 support area, the broader trend continues to favor the bulls. XAUUSD H4 — EMA Bearish TrendXAUUSD — EMA Bearish Trend, Two Sell Zones Toward Fibonacci Liquidity Target
Fundamental Analysis
Gold remains under bearish pressure as price continues to trade below the main EMA structure. The market is still watching USD strength, Treasury yields, and upcoming U.S. data, which may create volatility around key Fibonacci and liquidity zones.
For next week, the main view remains bearish while recovery attempts stay below the EMA resistance area.
Technical Analysis
On the 4H chart, XAUUSD is still trading below EMA 34, EMA 89, and EMA 200. This confirms that the broader short-term trend remains bearish, with the EMA structure acting as dynamic resistance above price.
Price is currently around 4,155 after a strong bearish move from the upper structure. The chart shows that gold is now reacting near a short-term reaction zone, but the recovery has not yet confirmed a bullish reversal.
The first sell area is around 4,222 - 4,243. This zone aligns with Fibonacci retracement, previous support turned resistance, and short-term liquidity. If price pulls back into this area and rejects, sellers may continue to defend the trend.
The second sell area is higher, around 4,320 - 4,341. This zone is stronger because it aligns with Fibonacci resistance, EMA pressure, and a larger support/resistance liquidity area. If gold retraces deeper into this zone, it may offer another sell opportunity with a wider structure.
The main downside target remains the Fibonacci 1.618 liquidity convergence zone around 4,066 - 4,065.
Important Key Levels
Current price area: 4,155
Reaction zone: 4,170 - 4,180
Sell zone 1: 4,222 - 4,243
Sell zone 2: 4,320 - 4,341
EMA resistance area: 4,254 - 4,320
Liquidity convergence target: 4,066 - 4,065
Invalidation for sell zone 1: above 4,254
Invalidation for sell zone 2: above 4,341
Trading Scenario
Sell Scenario 1 — Fibonacci Support Retest
Entry: 4,222 - 4,243
Stop Loss: 4,254
Take Profit 1: 4,170
Take Profit 2: 4,120
Take Profit 3: 4,066 - 4,065
Sell Condition
The first sell setup is to wait for gold to pull back into 4,222 - 4,243. This area is the nearest Fibonacci and support/resistance retest zone.
A sell setup becomes more valid if price forms bearish rejection from this zone, such as a long upper wick, bearish engulfing candle, failed breakout, or lower high below the EMA structure.
Sell Scenario 2 — Higher Liquidity Sell Zone
Entry: 4,320 - 4,341
Stop Loss: 4,365
Take Profit 1: 4,243
Take Profit 2: 4,170
Take Profit 3: 4,066 - 4,065
Sell Condition
The second sell setup is only considered if gold retraces deeper into 4,320 - 4,341. This is the stronger liquidity and Fibonacci resistance zone on the chart.
A rejection from this area would show that buyers failed to reclaim the EMA resistance zone. If sellers defend this level, the next bearish leg may target 4,243 first, then 4,170 and the Fibonacci 1.618 target around 4,066 - 4,065.
Entry Conditions
Wait for price to retest one of the sell zones.
Look for bearish rejection before entering sell.
Do not sell directly at the low without a pullback.
A break below 4,120 would strengthen the move toward 4,066.
If price breaks and holds above 4,341 - 4,365, the bearish setup should be reassessed.
Overall, the main view remains bearish while XAUUSD trades below EMA 34, EMA 89, and EMA 200. For next week, the preferred plan is to wait for a pullback into 4,222 - 4,243 or 4,320 - 4,341, then look for sell confirmation toward the Fibonacci liquidity convergence target around 4,066 - 4,065.
Do you share the same bearish view on gold for next week, or are you waiting for a cleaner pullback into the higher sell zone first?

MASON XAUUSD – Gold Tests Uptrend Buy Zone
XAUUSD is trading around 4,191 at the start of the week. Price is reacting from the marked buy zone and still respecting the rising trendline, showing that buyers are trying to rebuild the short-term uptrend.
The main view is bullish recovery, but confirmation above 4,220–4,240 is still needed.
Technical View
Gold reacted accurately from the 4,160–4,180 buy zone, which is also close to the rising trendline support. This area is important because it shows where buyers are defending the current uptrend wave.
Price Action is forming a recovery attempt after the previous drop. As long as price holds above the buy zone, the market may continue to build higher lows and move toward the next resistance areas.
The first confirmation zone is 4,220–4,240. If gold breaks and holds above this area, buyers may gain stronger control and push price toward the liquidity zones above.
Ichimoku still shows that gold needs to recover into the cloud area before confirming a stronger bullish structure. A clean move back above the cloud would support the continuation view.
If price fails to hold the buy zone and breaks below the trendline, the recovery setup will weaken.
Key Zones
Current price: 4,191
Buy zone: 4,160–4,180
Trendline support: 4,160–4,180
Support: 4,220
Short-term confirmation: 4,240
Liquidity sell scalping zone: 4,265–4,275
Strong liquidity: 4,310–4,320
Invalidation: below 4,150
Trading Plan
Buy Priority: 4,160–4,180
Condition: wait for bullish rejection, higher low, or price holding above the rising trendline.
SL: below 4,150
TP1: 4,220
TP2: 4,240
TP3: 4,265–4,275
Final target: 4,310–4,320
Alternative Scenario
If gold breaks and holds above 4,240, wait for a retest before looking for continuation toward 4,265–4,275 and 4,310–4,320.
Sell View
Sell is not the priority while price holds above the buy zone and trendline. A short-term sell reaction may appear around 4,265–4,275, but it should only be considered if bearish rejection is clear.
Final View
Overall, gold is showing a bullish recovery setup at the start of the week. As long as 4,160–4,180 holds, buyers still have a chance to push price back toward 4,240 and higher liquidity zones.
Will gold confirm above 4,240, or retest the buy zone one more time?

The Flip Zone That Fueled a Flag and PoleChapter One: The Wall
Long before anything else happened on this chart, this zone was a wall. Every single time price rallied into it on the monthly timeframe, it got turned away. Sellers showed up like clockwork, supply absorbed demand, and price retreated.
Chapter Two: The Break
Then came the move that changed everything. Buyers finally had the strength to push through. But a breakout alone doesn't confirm a flip, it's what happens after that matters. Price came back down, tested that same zone from above, and instead of breaking back through, it held. That retest is the real confirmation
Chapter Three: The Pole — Born From the Breakout Itself
Here's where this chart gets genuinely interesting. The same monthly candle (or sequence of candles) that broke through the flip zone didn't stop there, it kept extending, and that extension became the pole of a flag pattern. In other words, the breakout wasn't a separate event
Chapter Four: The Flag
After that strong, near-vertical pole, price did what flags do, it paused. A tight, slightly downward-drifting consolidation formed directly above the flip zone, with the newly-turned support quietly holding underneath the entire structure. This is the flag: a controlled pause after an aggressive move, where the market catches its breath before potentially continuing in the direction of the pole.
Seeing both at once, the flip and the flag sharing the same origin, is a reminder that price structures rarely exist in isolation. They build on top of each other, and recognizing how they connect gives you a much deeper read of market behaviour than looking at either pattern alone.

SENSEX Analysis [For 22.06.2026: Monday]Probable Scenario Analysis of Nifty Bank for the 22nd of June, 2026. The day is Monday.
🟢 Bullish Scenario
There is no evidence of a clear bullish scenario. The zone (77500 - 77250) would act as strong resistance. A bullish setup would emerge if the price sustains and trades above the level of 77500. The price must sustain above the level of 77500 for at least 30 minutes and show signs of bullish continuation. In that case, the probable bullish targets would be - 77750 and 78000.
🔴 Bearish Scenario
The level of 76500 is weak support. If the level of 76500 is broken down, then a bearish setup would trigger. The price must at least spend 30 minutes below the level of 76500. The probable bearish targets below the level of 76500 would be - 76250 and 76000. The level of 76000 would offer good support. Next, if the price decisively breaks down below the level of 76000, then the probable bearish levels would be - 75750 and 75500.
🔵 Availability of Unfilled GAPS
There is an unfilled gap till the level of 76250. Next, there is a 750-point unfilled gap below the level of 76250. Thus, an unfilled gap is available till the level of 75500.
🟡 No Trading Zone (NTZ): (77500 - 76500).
Presently, the price is in the NTZ. A breakout would confirm bullish continuation, while a break down from the NTZ would initiate bearish sentiment. Thus, mark two levels: 77500 and 76500. Be bullish above the level of 77500 and be bearish below the level of 76500. If the price remains in the NTZ, then don't deploy a directional strategy. Go for the non-directional trade execution.
🟧 Hypothesis: Evidence of Potential Head-&-Shoulder (H&S) Pattern Formation
There is an early sign of potential H&S pattern formation in the range-bound zone of (77500 - 76500). A breakout from this zone would nullify the possibility of H&S formation. On the contrary, a breakdown below the level of 76500 would confirm the potential formation of an H&S pattern. We have to wait for confirmation.
● Event
There are no high-impact events in the coming week. However, we have to deal with two expiries and one holiday. On Tuesday, there will be a Nifty 50 weekly expiry. On Thursday, there will be SENSEX monthly expiry. Thus, Thursday will be a very critical day. Lastly, Friday is the National Holiday (Muharram). We have only four trading days this week.
● Intraday Bias
Establish intraday bias with respect to the opening price. If the price sustains above the opening price, then don't think of shorting. Look for bullish trades only. On the contrary, if the price sustains below the opening price, then don't think of going long. Look for bearish trades in that case.
● Disclaimer + End Note
➤ All the analyses would fail in the case of a major gap up, gap down, or price structure anomaly. Thus, practice PRAGMATISM in the live session.

Happy Trading! Gold Weekly Analysis [22 June - 26 June, 2026]Probable Scenario Analysis of Gold TVC:GOLD for the week of 22 June - 26 June 2026.
🟢 Bullish Scenario:
There is no setup for a bullish trade. There is a strong resistance zone at (4300 - 4250). Take no bullish trade unless the price decisively trades above 4300 and sustains. The probable weak bullish move above the level of 4300 would be - 4350 and 4400. The price will receive strong resistance at the level of 4400. Next, if the price decisively trades and sustains above the level of 4400, then there will be a strong bullish trend. The probable bullish targets above the level of 4400 would be - 4450 and 4500.
🔴 Bearish Scenario:
Presently, the price is in the bearish zone only. If the price stays below the level of 4200, then it will be bearish. The probable bearish targets below the level of 4200 would be - 4150, 4100, 4050, and 4000. The price will receive good support at the level of 4000. Next, if the price breaks down below the level of 4000, then there will be more fall. The probable bearish targets below the level of 4000 would be - 3950 and 3900.
🟡 No Trading Zone (NTZ): (4300 - 4200)
⏺ Range of Consolidation (ROC): (4300 - 4100)
Here, the level of 4200 is the median of the ROC. The median works like a sentiment. The price trading above the median would offer bullish sentiment, while the price trading below the median would trigger bearish sentiment.
● Intraday Bias:
Establish intraday bias with respect to the opening price. If the price sustains above the opening price, then don't think of shorting. Look for bullish trades only. On the contrary, if the price sustains below the opening price, then don't think of going long. Look for bearish trades in that case.

Happy Trading! GBPUSD — Bearish Continuation From EMA & Fibonacci Value Zone
Fundamental Analysis
GBPUSD remains under pressure as price continues to trade below the main EMA structure. For next week, traders should keep watching USD momentum, U.K. data, and broader risk sentiment.
For now, the technical structure still favours sellers while recovery attempts remain capped below EMA resistance.
Technical Analysis
On the 4H chart, GBPUSD is still moving inside a bearish structure, with EMA 34, EMA 89, and EMA 200 positioned above price. This confirms that the broader trend remains bearish.
Price recently broke below the strong support zone around 1.3305 - 1.3324 and continued lower toward 1.3170 - 1.3180. The current move looks like a short-term recovery after a strong bearish displacement, not a confirmed bullish reversal.
The key sell zone is around 1.3305 - 1.3324. This area is important because it combines the previous strong support, Fibonacci 0.5 retracement, EMA resistance, and the support-turned-resistance structure.
The second reaction area is around 1.3275 - 1.3285, near the Fibonacci 0.618 zone. This may offer a short-term sell scalping reaction if price fails to reclaim higher structure.
The main downside target for next week is around 1.3090 - 1.3089, which aligns with the lower bearish projection and liquidity target on the chart.

Trading Scenario
Main Sell Scenario
Entry: 1.3305 - 1.3324
Stop Loss: 1.3370
Take Profit 1: 1.3180
Take Profit 2: 1.3140
Take Profit 3: 1.3090 - 1.3089
Sell Condition
The preferred setup is to wait for GBPUSD to pull back into the 1.3305 - 1.3324 sell zone. This area aligns with Fibonacci retracement, EMA resistance, and the previous support zone that has now turned into resistance.
A sell setup becomes more valid if price forms bearish rejection from this zone, such as a long upper wick, bearish engulfing candle, failed breakout, or lower high below the EMA structure.
If price rejects from the sell zone and breaks back below 1.3180, the bearish continuation view becomes stronger. The next downside focus would be 1.3140, followed by the weekly target around 1.3090 - 1.3089.
Alternative Sell Scalping Zone
Entry: 1.3275 - 1.3285
Stop Loss: 1.3325
Take Profit 1: 1.3228
Take Profit 2: 1.3180
Take Profit 3: 1.3140
Sell Condition
This is the earlier sell reaction zone. It is only valid if price reaches 1.3275 - 1.3285 and shows clear bearish rejection below the main EMA resistance.
If price breaks strongly above this zone, the better setup is to wait for the main sell zone around 1.3305 - 1.3324.
Entry Conditions
Wait for price to retest the Fibonacci sell zone.
Look for bearish rejection before entering sell.
A break below 1.3180 confirms stronger downside pressure.
If price breaks and holds above 1.3370, the sell setup is invalid.
Overall, the main view for next week remains bearish while GBPUSD stays below EMA 34, EMA 89, EMA 200, and the broken support structure. The preferred plan is to wait for a pullback into the Fibonacci and EMA value zone around 1.3305 - 1.3324, then look for sell confirmation toward 1.3180 and 1.3090 - 1.3089.
Do you share the same bearish view on GBPUSD for next week, or are you waiting for a cleaner rejection from the EMA and Fibonacci value zone?
