USDINR rolls overEquities did a sharp recovery on expiry day in the latter half. If you are looking for a reason, then look no further than the fall in USDINR. Finally, it is aligning with the dollar index, which is already falling. Why now? The events of last week have cemented the idea that the US Treasury, along with the Fed, will not leave any holes in the net when it comes to protecting US bonds. So expectations of higher US bond yields or a bond market collapse are now a thing of the past. I discussed this at length, in terms of winners and losers, during the Live WWIC session with subscribers this weekend. The USDINR chart is setting us up for a move down to 94 to start with. On weekly charts the support is closer to 93.40
Wave Analysis
XAUUSD: Bearish ABC Correction From Sell Zone
Gold is still trading inside a strong higher-timeframe recovery, but the current short-term structure is showing correction risk. From Kelly’s view, price has reacted near the upper area after completing a bullish wave, and the next move may develop as an ABC pullback before buyers return again.
The key idea is simple: gold may rise slightly first into the sell zone, then continue lower to complete wave C.
⟡ Market structure
Gold is currently trading around 4,636 after rejecting from the upper resistance area. The chart shows price is holding below the 4,650–4,665 Sell wave B zone, while the stronger bullish confirmation is still far above near 4,697.
As long as gold stays below this resistance, the short-term structure favors a corrective move lower.
The first support to watch is 4,618. If this level breaks, price may continue towards the buy scalping zones around 4,600–4,610 and 4,570–4,580. The deeper target is the End wave C zone around 4,535–4,545.
➤ Key levels
◌ 4,650–4,665: Sell wave B zone
◌ 4,636: current price area
◌ 4,618: strong support
◌ 4,600–4,610: first buy scalping area
◌ 4,570–4,580: second buy scalping area
◌ 4,535–4,545: End wave C target zone
◌ 4,697: bullish confirmation / invalidation area
⌁ Elliott Wave view
Gold may have completed a short-term bullish wave 5 near the recent high. After that, the current move is likely forming an ABC correction.
Wave A may be the first decline from the top.
Wave B may retest the 4,650–4,665 resistance zone.
Wave C may continue lower towards 4,535–4,545 if sellers remain in control.
This means Kelly is not chasing buys near the current price. The cleaner view is to wait for price reaction at resistance and follow the corrective structure lower.
▸ Trading scenario
Preferred scenario: wait for gold to retest the Sell wave B zone and show bearish confirmation.
Sell zone: 4,650–4,665
Stop loss: above 4,697
Take profit 1: 4,618
Take profit 2: 4,570–4,580
Take profit 3: 4,535–4,545
Alternative scenario: if gold breaks above 4,697 and holds strongly, the bearish ABC correction may fail. In that case, the market may continue the bullish structure instead of dropping into wave C.
⌁ Kelly’s view
For Kelly, the main short-term scenario is bearish correction. Gold is still near resistance, and the ABC structure is not complete yet.
If 4,650–4,665 holds as resistance, gold may continue lower towards 4,618 first, then 4,535–4,545 to complete wave C.

XAUUSD 4633 stall — 4570 reload before 4657? XAUUSD 4633 stall — 4570 reload before 4657?
That rejection near the upper trendline is the warning.
Gold has been climbing clean for days. Higher push, pullback, reclaim, then another push. Buyers still own the bigger structure, no doubt.
But right now? Price is not cheap.
Gold tapped around 4,680, left that small FVG near 4,657 - 4,680, then slipped back to 4,633. That tells me one thing: late buyers are starting to get tested. Not a full reversal yet. Just a shakeout risk.
Main bias stays bullish while gold holds above 4,565 - 4,580.
That Reclaim Demand Zone is the level I care about. If price pulls back into 4,565 - 4,580 and buyers defend it, that is the cleaner reload. From there, gold can rotate back toward 4,657 first. Above that, the upper trendline and 4,700 area become the next liquidity draw.
But chasing buys at 4,633 after the whole move? Nah. That is how traders get trapped in the middle.
The lower support structure around 4,510 - 4,520 is the deeper backup zone if gold wants a bigger shakeout before continuing.
Trading scenario:
Buy idea only if gold pulls back into 4,565 - 4,580 and gives a clean reaction.
Entry zone: 4,565 - 4,580 after confirmation
Deeper buy zone: 4,510 - 4,520 if price sweeps lower and reclaims
Stop loss: below 4,480
TP1: 4,657
TP2: 4,680
TP3: 4,700 - 4,720
No pullback, no chase. Simple.
If gold closes hard below 4,480, this bullish continuation idea gets messy. Then price can slide back toward 4,420 and the whole upper move starts looking tired.
For now, I’m reading this as trend still bullish, but price needs a reload before the next push.
You think gold fills 4,570 first, or runs straight back into 4,657?
BTC/USDT - Bullish Structure, Strong UpwardHi traders, would you still chase BTC above 80K, or wait for the market to reset?
BINANCE:BTCUSDT has delivered a powerful expansion after breaking the long-term descending trendline around 65K. Price is now trading above 80K and remains well above the Ichimoku Cloud, so the broader H4 structure is still firmly bullish.
But after a move of roughly 25%, this is not where I want to chase.
The area that interests me is 77,000–78,700. If BTC pulls back into this zone, absorbs the selling pressure and buyers step back in, I would still favor another leg toward:
🎯 Target: 84,500
Macro is supportive, but not completely risk-free. The US Dollar is struggling to hold gains while Treasury yields have eased slightly, and Bitcoin continues to benefit from the strong momentum built over the past week.
A sustained H4 move below 77K would make the current continuation setup less attractive.
AURICVERSE View: the bullish move is already obvious. The edge now comes from patience. If 77K–78.7K becomes the next base rather than the start of a deeper correction, 84.5K stays on my radar.

XAU/USD - Strong Wave, Bulls Target HigherHi traders, is this pullback the reset Gold needs before another leg higher?
OANDA:XAUUSD is still moving inside a strong H1 uptrend. After breaking out of the previous range, buyers pushed price aggressively higher and the structure continues to hold above the Ichimoku Cloud.
Rather than chasing around 4,620–4,650, I’m watching 4,550–4,600. If price pulls back into this area and buyers absorb the selling pressure, I still favor continuation toward:
🎯 Target: 4,760
The macro backdrop supports the bullish case. Gold reached its highest level since mid-May today as demand remained strong following the US Treasury’s liquidity-supporting bond buybacks, while renewed US-Iran tensions added another layer of safe-haven demand.
I wouldn’t chase another vertical candle here. A controlled reset into the buy zone gives the setup much better structure.
If H1 begins accepting price below 4,550, the continuation idea loses quality and the breakout should be reassessed.
AURICVERSE View: momentum is still clearly with buyers. The question isn’t whether Gold has already moved — it’s whether buyers are willing to defend the next pullback. If 4,550–4,600 holds, 4,760 stays on my radar.
How are you reading this structure? Share your view below.
XAU/USD - Strong Upward ContinueHi traders, would you chase OANDA:XAUUSD above 4,640 — or wait for the market to come back to you?
XAUUSD remains in a strong H2 uptrend. After the earlier consolidation, price broke higher with conviction and is still holding comfortably above the Ichimoku Cloud.
The move is healthy, but at current levels I’m more interested in the next pullback than another impulsive entry.
The zone I’m watching is 4,510–4,575. If Gold rotates back into this area and buyers defend it, the bullish structure remains intact and I would continue to look toward:
🎯 Target: 4,750
What stands out here is the rhythm of the move: impulse → consolidation → breakout → expansion. As long as the next correction stays controlled, there is no strong technical reason yet to fight the trend.
I would start questioning the setup if H2 begins accepting price below 4,510, especially if price also loses the Ichimoku support underneath.
AURICVERSE View: the trend is already clear. The better trade is not proving that Gold can rise — it is waiting to see whether buyers are willing to defend the next reset. If 4,510–4,575 holds, 4,750 remains the level on my radar.

EUR/USD - Breakout Intact, Next Peak AimHi traders, would you chase OANDA:EURUSD here or wait for the market to come back to support?
EURUSD has already escaped the previous consolidation and is still holding comfortably above the Ichimoku Cloud. The H2 structure remains bullish, but after the recent push toward 1.1700, I’d rather wait for a cleaner reset than buy into strength.
The area I’m watching is 1.1610–1.1650. If price pulls back into this zone and buyers defend it, the breakout remains healthy and I still favor continuation toward:
🎯 Target: 1.1760
What matters here is not another bullish candle — it’s whether former resistance can now behave like support.
If H2 starts accepting price below 1.1610, the continuation setup loses quality and the breakout deserves another look.
AURICVERSE View: momentum still belongs to buyers, but the better opportunity may come from patience. Hold 1.1610–1.1650, and 1.1760 stays on my radar.

XAUUSD: Strong breakout, Bulls continue rallyXAUUSD is trading around $4,653 following a strong breakout above the $4,440 neckline, maintaining a bullish structure above the EMA34 and EMA89.
Macroeconomic factors continue to favor the bulls. The USD is trading near multi-month lows following the US Treasury's decision to increase long-term bond purchases, while gold rose approximately 0.4% this morning. Geopolitical instability regarding Iran is also sustaining safe-haven demand.
From a technical perspective, following the rapid rally, I prefer to wait for a pullback to the $4,500–$4,560 range. If this area turns into support and buying pressure returns, XAUUSD could continue its ascent toward $4,720–$4,750.
The bullish scenario would weaken if the price decisively breaks below the $4,500 level.
XAUUSD (GOLD) Intraday Technical AnalysisGold is taking retracement from daily resistance zone however overall trend is still bullish. There are two levels for buyers obviously green zone is bit dicey because it is very close to daily resistance zone. Still if buyers want to enter first we need inducement at green zone and no hourly candle should close below that zone.
However yellow zone is beautiful buying zone aligned with 38% 4h zone 4593, after inducement look for buying entry in small tf as gold can be choppy in that range before moving upward.
IF both levels are breached or any choch in 1 hour towards sell side then ignore all the buying entries and wait for daily buying zone 4525-4550.
USD/INR - Bears Losing Grip, Next BullishHi traders, is this consolidation building the base for the next push higher?
FX_IDC:USDINR is showing a clear improvement on H4. After breaking away from the previous descending trendline, price formed a rounded base and has gradually reclaimed the Ichimoku Cloud. The latest consolidation around 95.60–95.75 suggests buyers are still holding their ground.
The area I’m watching is 95.30–95.48. If price pulls back into this zone and buyers defend it, I would continue to favor the upside toward:
🎯 Target: 96.27
I wouldn’t chase price while it is sitting in the middle of the current range. A controlled retest of the buy zone would offer a cleaner structure and better confirmation.
If H4 begins accepting price below 95.30, the bullish recovery loses quality and the setup should be reassessed.
AURICVERSE View: the important shift is not the small move higher — it’s that the previous bearish structure is no longer controlling price the same way. If 95.30–95.48 turns into a solid base, 96.27 remains the next level on my radar.

LAMBODHARAImmediate resistance: Current price zone (consolidation near highs) → next major resistance ₹200–₹210 (psychological barrier & round-number resistance)
Support/base: ₹139–₹140 (immediate support shelf / current base) → ₹130–₹135 (secondary demand zone from prior consolidation) → ₹120–₹125 (major structural floor)
Invalidation: A daily close below ₹139 would weaken the current bullish structure and suggest a deeper retracement toward the ₹130–₹135 zone
Fundamentals context:
Lambodhara Textiles Limited is a textile manufacturing company with operations spanning yarn spinning, fabric processing, and garment manufacturing. The company caters to both domestic and export markets, with a focus on value-added textile products. Key drivers to monitor include:
Cotton yarn prices (raw material cost impact on margins)
Export demand (global textile market trends)
Domestic apparel demand (retail and wholesale consumption)
Government textile policies (PLI schemes, export incentives)
Currency movements (rupee weakness benefits exporters)
Capacity utilization and expansion plans
The stock has shown a strong recovery from its lows, reflecting improved industry dynamics and potential operational turnaround. As a small-cap textile player, the company is sensitive to raw material prices and global demand cycles. Investors should check the latest quarterly results for revenue growth, margin expansion, and any debt reduction progress.
View:
This is a recovery/breakout continuation setup — the stock is trading near its highs with a "BUY" sentiment indicated on the chart, suggesting bullish momentum. The chart shows a steady uptrend from lower levels, with a solid base forming near the ₹139–₹140 zone. A sustained move above the current consolidation with volume could open the door for a rally toward ₹200–₹210 in the medium term. It's a small-cap player (~₹100–150 Cr market cap) in the textile sector, which is currently benefiting from improving demand conditions. Traders should watch for volume confirmation and broader sector sentiment (textile stocks often move in tandem with export demand and cotton prices).
Key Levels to Watch:
Level Type Significance
₹200–₹210 Major Resistance Psychological barrier / round-number target
Current Price Consolidation Zone Breakout trigger area
₹139–₹140 Key Support Immediate support / invalidation level
₹130–₹135 Secondary Support Next demand zone if breakdown occurs
₹120–₹125 Major Support Primary structural floor
⚠️ Disclaimer: For educational/analysis purposes only. Not investment advice. Verify live price, volume, and fundamentals on your terminal before acting. Always use a stop-loss below the invalidation level. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
XAUUSD: ABC Pullback Before RallyGold is trading near the upper Elliott wave 5 zone after a strong bullish move. From Kelly’s view, the main trend still favors buyers, but price may need an ABC correction first before the next clean bullish continuation appears.
⟡ Market structure
The chart shows gold has pushed strongly from the 4,450 liquidity area and moved into the 4,637 region. Price is now close to the End wave 5 / Sell zone around 4,640–4,650.
This is an important reaction area. If gold fails to break higher directly, a short-term ABC correction may begin.
The first support to watch is 4,602. If this level breaks, price may correct deeper into 4,570–4,575, then possibly towards the main End wave ABC / Buy zone around 4,515.
➤ Key levels
◌ 4,640–4,650: End wave 5 / sell reaction zone
◌ 4,637: current price area
◌ 4,602: strong support
◌ 4,570–4,575: short-term support zone
◌ 4,515: End wave ABC / main buy zone
◌ 4,455: strong support liquidity
⌁ Elliott Wave view
Gold may be completing wave 5 near the upper Fibonacci area.
After wave 5, the market may form an ABC correction:
Wave A: pullback from the 4,640–4,650 zone
Wave B: short rebound from support
Wave C: deeper correction into 4,515
If wave C ends near 4,515 and buyers defend this zone, gold may prepare for another bullish continuation.
▸ Trading scenario
Preferred scenario: wait for gold to correct before looking for buy confirmation.
Sell reaction zone: 4,640–4,650 if rejection appears
Take profit 1: 4,602
Take profit 2: 4,570–4,575
Take profit 3: 4,515
Buy zone: 4,515–4,570 if bullish confirmation appears
Stop loss: below the confirmed wave C low
Take profit 1: 4,602
Take profit 2: 4,640–4,650
Take profit 3: higher only if bullish momentum continues
◌ Invalidation
If gold breaks above 4,650 and holds strongly, the ABC correction may be delayed and wave 5 can extend higher.
⌁ Kelly’s view
For Kelly, gold remains bullish overall, but the current area is not ideal for chasing buys.
The cleaner plan is to wait for the ABC pullback.
If the 4,515–4,570 buy area holds, gold may continue the next bullish move.

XAUUSD: 4,700 Trap or Trend Continuation? XAUUSD: 4,700 Trap or Trend Continuation?
Market Context
Gold starts the new week with strong bullish momentum after a powerful breakout from the lower structure. Buyers have clearly controlled the recent move, pushing price higher after multiple BOS signals and turning the previous resistance area into continuation structure.
But the market is now trading close to a liquidity magnet zone. This is where many late buyers may enter emotionally, and smart money often uses that liquidity before creating a pullback.
Key point: gold remains bullish, but 4,680 - 4,700 is the danger zone buyers must break with strength.
Technical Structure
Gold is trading around 4,639, just below the near resistance zone at 4,650 - 4,660.
The current structure is still bullish. Price broke higher aggressively, respected the previous breakout base, and continued pushing toward the upper liquidity area.
However, the chart also shows that gold is approaching the Liquidity Magnet Zone around 4,680 - 4,700. This is a strong resistance area and could trigger a short-term rejection if buyers fail to continue with clean momentum.
The first downside level to watch is 4,619. If price loses this area, gold may correct toward 4,596, which is the final pullback target on the chart.
The key defensive area for buyers is 4,450 - 4,490. As long as gold stays above this zone, the larger bullish structure remains valid.
Key Levels
Current Price: 4,639
Near Resistance: 4,650 - 4,660
Liquidity Magnet Zone: 4,680 - 4,700
First Bearish Target: 4,619
Final Pullback Target: 4,596
Bulls Must Defend Zone: 4,450 - 4,490
Smart Money Demand Base: 4,320 - 4,360
Bullish Continuation: Above 4,700
Correction Risk: Below 4,619
Trading Plan
Buy Breakout
Entry: Above 4,700 after breakout and retest
SL: Below 4,650
TP: 4,730 / 4,760 / 4,800
Condition: Price must break the Liquidity Magnet Zone with strength, retest successfully, and hold above 4,700. This would confirm that buyers are still strong enough to continue the weekly rally.
Buy Pullback
Entry: 4,596 - 4,619 after bullish confirmation
SL: Below 4,560
TP: 4,650 / 4,680 / 4,700
Condition: Price pulls back into the target support area and shows clear bullish rejection. This setup is cleaner than chasing price directly under resistance.
Sell Reaction
Entry: 4,680 - 4,700 after bearish rejection
SL: Above 4,720
TP: 4,619 / 4,596 / 4,560
Condition: Price taps the Liquidity Magnet Zone but fails to hold above it. A strong rejection here can confirm a short-term liquidity trap and open a corrective move.
Deep Buy Re-entry
Entry: 4,450 - 4,490
SL: Below 4,320
TP: 4,596 / 4,650 / 4,700
Condition: If gold corrects deeper, this becomes the main area buyers must defend. A strong reaction here would keep the broader bullish trend alive.
Breakdown Sell
Entry: Below 4,596 after breakdown and retest
SL: Above 4,640
TP: 4,560 / 4,490 / 4,450
Condition: Price loses the final pullback target and fails to reclaim it. This would confirm that the bullish impulse is entering a deeper correction phase.
Overall Bias
Gold remains bullish overall, but the current price is too close to resistance to chase blindly.
If buyers break and hold above 4,700, the rally can extend higher. If price rejects from 4,680 - 4,700, gold may pull back toward 4,619 and 4,596 before the next decision.
Best approach: wait for confirmation. Either trade the breakout above 4,700 or wait for a clean pullback reaction around 4,596 - 4,619.
Will buyers break 4,700 and continue the weekly rally, or will this zone become the first liquidity trap of the week?
XAUUSD 4639 pushing — who gets trapped at 4720? XAUUSD 4639 pushing — who gets trapped at 4720?
That weekly breakout is not quiet anymore.
Gold spent the week doing the same thing again. Trap, reclaim, squeeze.
Early week, 4,357 was the line. Buyers defended it. Then price pushed back into 4,400, took 4,450, and the 4,458 retest turned into the real decision point. Once gold held above that area, shorts had a problem.
Then 4,523 got tagged.
Then 4,563.
Now price is sitting around 4,603, still riding inside the bullish channel. That is strong. No need to pretend it isn’t.
But yeah, I’m still not chasing vertical candles.
The bigger read is simple. Gold already broke the old buy-side liquidity around 4,360 - 4,380, flipped that whole area into support, then started expanding toward the next premium zone. The market is not hunting downside right now. It is hunting the next liquidity pool higher.
Main bias stays bullish while price holds above 4,520 - 4,560.
If gold cools off into the channel support and holds, that is the cleaner reload. The next upside area is 4,630 first. Above that, 4,720 comes into play. The big magnet on this chart is 4,773. That top liquidity zone is where I expect the real reaction.
Trading scenario:
Buy idea only if gold holds above 4,520 - 4,560 and gives a clean continuation reaction.
Entry zone: 4,560 - 4,600 after confirmation
Deeper buy zone: 4,470 - 4,520 if price sweeps lower and reclaims
Stop loss: below 4,420
TP1: 4,630
TP2: 4,720
TP3: 4,773
No pullback, no chase. Simple.
If gold closes hard below 4,420, this bullish continuation idea gets messy. Then the move can turn into a breakout trap and price may revisit 4,360 - 4,370.
For now, I’m reading this as weekly buy-side liquidity cleared, channel holding, 4,773 still waiting.
You think gold runs straight into 4,773, or shakes out late buyers first?

XAU/USD - Strong Rise, Bulls Continue Advantage!Hi traders, are you waiting for another breakout or a better pullback?
OANDA:XAUUSD is maintaining a fairly good upward momentum after breaking out of its previous downtrend. The price is currently around 4,400, clearly above the Ichimoku cloud and continuously creating higher highs — buyers are still in control.
If there is a pullback, the 4,260–4,340 range is where I want to watch. As long as this area is defended, I still favor a pullback scenario for further gains.
🎯 Target: 4,550
The macroeconomy is also supporting gold as geopolitical tensions continue to fuel safe-haven demand; spot gold rose about 0.8% this morning. However, tonight's US CPI will be a major test for the USD, yields, and the next direction of XAUUSD.
I'm still avoiding FOMO at high levels. A clean retest of the buy zone would be much more attractive. If the H4 chart loses 4,260, the current bullish structure needs to be re-evaluated.
AURICVERSE View: The trend is still on the buyer's side — as long as the breakout area continues to hold, 4,550 remains my target.
How are you reading this structure? Share your view below.
XAUUSD Weekly AnalysisGold has been supported by strong fundamentalsis and showed good bullish move. But now new buyers should be cautious as it is approaching daily resistance zone. 4h and 1h and daily target as per fib and structure is also achieved. Overall gold is still bullish but one has to wait for good buying zone which is highlighted in green zone. Only buying entry is possible if gold breaks the red zone which is daily resistance and gives a retest. So for now red zone is good selling area if we get change of character in 1h and target for 1h support then 4h support.
NIFTY — DETAILED TRADING PLAN FOR 24-AUG-2026📊 📊
Previous Close: 24,252.00 | Timeframe: 15 Min | Index: NIFTY 50
📚 EDUCATIONAL NOTE BEFORE WE START
Every trading day presents a fresh opportunity, but the edge lies in structured level-based trading rather than emotional decisions. A gap of 100+ points on Nifty reflects strong overnight sentiment shift. Today's chart shows a clean structure with Opening Support (24,146–24,181), Opening Resistance (24,278), and extended zones on both sides. Let's map out our action plan for all three opening scenarios. 👇
🟢 SCENARIO 1: GAP UP OPENING (100+ points, i.e., Open above 24,352)
Explanation: A gap-up of 100+ points shows strong bullish overnight sentiment, pushing price directly toward the Last Intraday Resistance zone (24,400). Since this level has previously acted as a strong supply zone, chasing longs blindly at open can be risky.
Plan of Action:
✅ If Nifty opens above 24,352 and sustains for the first 15-min candle → bullish structure intact, but avoid fresh aggressive longs right into resistance.
⚠️ Watch price action carefully near 24,400 zone — a rejection (long upper wick/bearish reversal candle) → book profits on existing longs, avoid fresh entries.
🚀 A strong 15-min candle close above 24,400 with volume confirmation → fresh breakout longs can be considered, targeting 24,440–24,470 with trailing SL.
🔻 If price fails to hold gap-up levels and slips back toward 24,278 (Opening Resistance turned Support) → treat this as a warning sign, tighten stops on longs.
Options Strategy Tip: Avoid buying expensive ATM Calls right at gap-up open due to elevated IV. Wait for a small retracement toward support zones for a better risk-reward entry, or consider Call spreads to reduce premium cost.
⬛
⬛
⬛
🟡 SCENARIO 2: FLAT OPENING (Open within 24,181 – 24,278 range)
Explanation: A flat opening near previous close places price right between Opening Support (24,146–24,181) and Opening Resistance (24,278). This zone often leads to consolidation before a breakout, so patience is essential here.
Plan of Action:
🚫 Avoid fresh positions as long as price oscillates between 24,181–24,278. Let the market show its hand first.
📈 A decisive 15-min candle close above 24,278 → go long, targeting 24,320 → 24,360 → 24,400 in steps, trailing SL after each level.
📉 A decisive 15-min candle close below 24,181 → go short, targeting 24,146 → 24,077 (Last Intraday Support), trailing SL progressively.
🕒 Remember: the first 30-45 minutes often set the tone. Don't rush — wait for a clean breakout/breakdown candle with volume.
Options Strategy Tip: Flat openings favor premium sellers. Traders can consider Short Strangle/Iron Condor strategies within defined ranges, but always keep a hedge in place to cap risk in case of a sudden breakout.

⬛
⬛
🔴 SCENARIO 3: GAP DOWN OPENING (100+ points, i.e., Open below 24,152)
Explanation: A gap-down of 100+ points signals weak sentiment, pushing price directly into or below the Opening Support zone (24,146–24,181). This zone will act as the first battleground between buyers and sellers.
Plan of Action:
⚠️ If Nifty opens below 24,152 and shows a bounce attempt back toward 24,181, watch for rejection — a failure to reclaim this zone → shorts can be considered with SL above 24,200.
🔻 Sustained weakness & 15-min close below 24,146 → bearish continuation likely, targeting 24,077 (Last Intraday Support).
🛑 A breakdown below 24,077 on strong volume → next target opens up toward the Buyer's Support zone (23,959–23,995). This is a strong demand zone historically, so expect sharp reactions/bounces here.
📊 If price reclaims back above 24,181–24,278 swiftly, avoid chasing shorts — a gap-fill/reversal move is possible, wait for fresh bullish confirmation before longs.
Options Strategy Tip: In gap-down scenarios, Put premiums often get expensive at open due to IV spike. Consider waiting for a small pullback/bounce to buy Puts at a better price, or use Put debit spreads to control risk and cost.

🛡️ RISK MANAGEMENT TIPS FOR OPTIONS TRADING
🎯 Position Sizing: Risk only 1-2% of capital per trade — protect your account first, profits will follow.
⏱️ Time Decay Awareness: Theta accelerates post-noon; option buyers should plan exits accordingly.
🔒 Stop Loss is Non-Negotiable: Define your SL (price/premium based) before entering any trade — never trade without one.
📉 Avoid Trading Inside No-Trade Zones: Wait for clean breakout/breakdown confirmation rather than guessing direction.
🧮 Hedge Naked Option Positions: If selling options, always buy a further OTM option to cap downside risk.
📰 Stay Updated on Global Cues: Gap opens are often driven by global markets, crude oil, USD-INR, or macro data — track overnight news.
💰 Avoid FOMO Entries: If you miss the initial move, wait for a retracement instead of chasing price at extended levels.
📝 SUMMARY & CONCLUSION
Today's plan is built around three critical zones:
Opening Support: 24,146 – 24,181
Opening Resistance: 24,278
Extended Resistance: 24,400 | Extended Support: 24,077 → 23,959–23,995
Whether the market opens with a Gap Up, Flat, or Gap Down, the underlying principle stays consistent: respect key levels, wait for confirmation candles, and manage risk with discipline. Consistency in following a structured plan — not prediction — is what separates disciplined traders from the rest. Trade smart, trade safe! 🎯📈

HDFC Bank | Elliott Wave Structure & B-Wave InvalidationOn the weekly timeframe, HDFC Bank appears to be developing a larger Elliott Wave structure.
The current interpretation places the stock within a corrective phase, with the B-wave structure being an important reference point.
The key level I am watching is ₹681.80.
A sustained move below ₹681.80 would invalidate my current Elliott Wave interpretation and require the structure to be reassessed.
For the current structure, I will be observing how price behaves around the marked trendline and key structural levels before considering the next phase of the count.
My approach:
Elliott Wave → Market Structure → Key Level → Confirmation
This is a level-based technical study rather than a prediction of every price movement.

BTCUSD: $100K Retest Possible by November 2026? | Weekly Structu### BTCUSD Weekly Outlook — $100K Still on the Radar
Bitcoin is showing a strong recovery from the ~$57.7K weekly low.
On the weekly chart, I’m watching the current price action as a potential recovery structure rather than assuming a straight-line move higher.
**Key levels:**
* 🔹 Current zone: ~$77K
* 🔹 Major support: ~$57.7K
* 🔹 Fibonacci 38.2%: ~$83.9K
* 🔹 Fibonacci 50%: ~$92.1K
* 🔹 Fibonacci 61.8%: ~$100.2K
* 🎯 Major upside target: **$100K+**
My current expectation is that BTC could see some volatility and a possible pullback/retest before making another attempt toward the **$90K–$100K zone**.
Based on the current structure, **November 2026** is the time window I’m watching for a potential $100K retest.
This is a technical-analysis view, not a guarantee. The structure can change with future weekly price action.
**Levels > emotions. Structure > predictions.**

The Dip is a buyBSE CMP 3240
Fib - It broke the first confluence zone 3400 and ended the week on the second confluence at 3215.
Trendline- we have a trendline support at the same zone.
Detrend and composite - both the oscillators are at their previous amplitude lows.
Elliott- to me the 3rd wave here has not even started, hence a much stronger move is still left.
Conclusion - all the supporting tools are indicating the current zone to be a high prob reversal zone.
History May Not Repeat, But Patterns Clearly DoAll price action shown in this chart is historical and older than three months. This post is purely educational and observational in nature. It is not a forecast or a trading recommendation.
The First Instance: 2008 to 2014
Between 2008 and 2014, this stock formed a symmetrical triangle pattern on the monthly timeframe. The eventual breakout in 2014 coincided with price reclaiming the 50 day exponential moving average on the same timeframe, with the triangle breakout and the EMA reclaim occurring together.
The Pattern Returns: 2022
Following a substantial rally in the years after, a strikingly similar symmetrical triangle structure formed again in 2022. Once again, this consolidation appeared after an extended upmove, echoing the same setup that had played out roughly a decade earlier.
The Pattern Returns Again: 2024
The same sequence repeated once more in 2024, a symmetrical triangle breakout aligning again with support being taken at the 50 day exponential moving average on the monthly timeframe. Three separate instances, years apart, each showing the same structural fingerprint.
The Bigger Observation
This chart is not about predicting whether the same outcome will occur a fourth time. It is about recognizing something more fundamental, that while history as a specific outcome may never truly repeat itself, the patterns and structures the market tends to form clearly do recur. The same triangle formation, the same moving average interaction, showing up across three distinct periods on the same chart, is a reminder that price action often rhymes even when the underlying story around it is completely different each time.
NIFTY | DAILY TIME FRAME SETUPNIFTY 50 is currently respecting a well-established ascending trendline that has acted as dynamic support multiple times over the past few months.
🔍 Key Observations
Price is approaching a strong confluence zone where the ascending trendline aligns with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement.
Previous bullish reactions from the same trendline increase the probability of buyers defending this area again.
As long as the trendline remains intact, the overall higher-high and higher-low market structure stays bullish.
A successful bounce from the current support zone could trigger another impulsive move toward the highlighted resistance/target area.
📊 Trading Plan
✅ Wait for bullish confirmation before entering.
Bullish Scenario
Hold above the trendline.
Bullish price action confirmation.
Potential continuation toward the marked resistance zone.
Bearish Scenario
A strong daily close below the trendline could invalidate the bullish setup and open the door for a deeper correction.
📌 Key Levels
Support: Trendline + 0.618 Fibonacci Retracement
Entry: After confirmation
Target: Highlighted resistance zone on the chart
