Triangle

BITCOIN - A hunt for liquidity ahead of a drop to $69000 BINANCE:BTCUSDT.P was unable to sustain the previous week’s gains and, following weak economic data, entered a distribution phase from 74,000, testing an intermediate low of 69K. A correction is taking shape... The global trend is bearish, with pressure on the market coming from weak U.S. indices and the Fed’s hawkish stance. Bitcoin has failed to confirm its status as a safe-haven asset amid the current tense geopolitical situation. After the sell-off, the price is finding support in the 69,100 zone, confirming the local trend line and forming an additional area of liquidity to which the market may still return A local rebound and correction toward the 72,400 zone are forming. A short squeeze and bears holding the key zone could trigger a move toward the 69,100 support level. Resistance levels: 71,750, 72,400 Support levels: 70,220, 69,100 As part of the correction, the price may test the 71,750–72,400 imbalance zone, while a liquidity squeeze and a false breakout could trigger another sell-off and a drop toward the key support level of 69,100 Sincerely, R. Linda!

AMD: Double Top + Descending Triangle Breakdown Incoming Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is currently displaying a high-probability bearish setup combining two powerful technical patterns. First, the stock has formed a clear double top, signaling potential exhaustion after an extended move higher. Price is now trading near the neckline, which is a critical level to watch for confirmation of downside continuation. Zooming in, we can also identify a descending triangle forming right at this key area. This adds confluence to the bearish thesis: Two clean rejection points along the descending trendline Price currently retesting the upper boundary of the triangle Clear volatility contraction as price compresses toward the apex Declining volume, supporting the likelihood of an imminent breakout This type of price action reflects supply stepping in progressively lower, while demand holds temporarily at support — a structure that typically resolves to the downside. If the breakdown occurs with expansion in volume, it would confirm the pattern and trigger the measured move. Trade Idea: Bias: Bearish Trigger: Breakdown below triangle support / neckline Confirmation: Volume expansion on breakdown Target (Measured Move): 146 Key Insight: The combination of a higher timeframe reversal pattern (double top) with a lower timeframe continuation pattern (descending triangle) increases the probability of a downside move. Keep an eye on the breakout — this setup looks close to resolution.

How to trade in a bear market, Season 3 The Federal Reserve's interest rate remained unchanged. This has significantly increased upward pressure on gold prices. Just now, gold prices touched a low of $4685. We haven't seen such a large single-day drop in a long time. Our small buy orders at higher levels hit their stop-loss orders. This was unavoidable because the range exceeded $300. A larger part of the reason for this drop was the market's expectation of an interest rate cut, leading to a rise in expectations. However, when the data release didn't bring any substantial change, selling pressure emerged. This is the main reason for this sharp decline. The bears are not yet finished, so the trading strategy should focus on short orders.

SPX | Why 6,780 Matters A sustained break below 6,780 would signal weakening demand and open the path toward a test of the 6,740 support zone. A confirmed loss of 6,740 would then activate a measured move toward the 6,450–6,500 area, roughly 4–5% lower. The bearish case strengthens if price remains below the Bollinger mid band while the bands expand, indicating building downside pressure. Until these levels are lost and confirmed by volatility, the current structure should be treated as range consolidation rather than a completed top.

Charter Communications: Potential Downtrend Charter Communications has been sliding for years, and some traders may see further downside risk. The first pattern on today’s chart is the $244.20 level, the weekly close from Friday, October 24. CHTR fell below that level and rebounded to stall at it last month. That may suggest the cable-and-broadband company faces long-term resistance. Second, consider the series of lower highs resolving to the downside this month. That descending triangle is a potentially bearish continuation pattern. Third, the 50- and 100-day simple moving averages are near each other. Prices have dipped back below both. That may suggest a longer-term downtrend remains in effect. Next, the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) is under the 21-day EMA. MACD is also falling. Those signals may reflect short-term bearishness. TradeStation has, for decades, advanced the trading industry, providing access to stocks, options and futures.

GOLD - Correction before the decline ICMARKETS:XAUUSD , currently in a sell-off phase, is testing the intermediate low of 4,685. Triggers include a new escalation of the war in Iran and the Fed’s relatively hawkish stance The escalation of the conflict in the Middle East is only intensifying; against this backdrop, oil and gold may continue to rise, which will negatively impact the price of the metal. The Fed kept rates unchanged and confirmed only one cut in 2026. The dollar remains the primary safe-haven asset, especially if the U.S. strikes Iran’s oil and gas facilities. Today, the BoJ will announce its rate decision (expected to remain unchanged). Rhetoric regarding inflation could impact USD/JPY and, indirectly, the dollar and gold. Resistance levels: 4756, 4790, 4867 Support levels: 4867, 4650, 4600 Since the session opened, gold has fallen quite sharply, and trading in the direction of the current trend is quite risky. Technically, the ideal scenario is to wait for a pullback and a retest of key levels before making decisions. Best regards, R. Linda!

USDJPY - Long squeeze before the trend continues FX:USDJPY is testing the key level of 159.19 as part of a counter-trend correction. A long squeeze could trigger an upward rally. The dollar is testing its highs and poised to continue its rise following yesterday’s news. The Fed kept rates unchanged, hinting at maintaining the current rate in the medium term amid high inflation. Against the backdrop of a strong DXY, the Japanese yen may continue to weaken. However, as Japan’s national currency weakens, the risk of intervention by the Bank of Japan is growing. The currency pair is forming a trading range of 158.6–159.8. The trend is bullish, the dollar is strong, and the probability of the uptrend continuing after the long squeeze is quite high. If the bulls hold the 159.2–159.0 area, the price will have strong support for an upward move. Resistance levels: 159.75, 159.85 Support levels: 159.19, 159. 0 A long squeeze (false support breakout) and consolidation above 159.19 could support further growth Sincerely, R. Linda!

GOLD - Consolidation amid a downtrend. Waiting for Powell...ICMARKETS:XAUUSD is hovering around the psychological $5,000 level, forming a trading range with narrowing boundaries, as the market awaits a key event—the Fed’s rate decision and signals regarding its future policy direction. The war in Iran continues to support oil prices, fueling inflationary expectations. Markets are pricing in a “hawkish” Fed scenario, which is negative for gold. The dollar is pulling back from 10-month highs on profit-taking ahead of the Fed meeting, though this is largely a technical narrative—a false breakout of the psychological 100.0 level. Today, the Fed will announce its rate decision (expected to remain unchanged at 3.50–3.75%). However, the focus will be on Powell’s remarks. PPI (Producer Price Index) data will be released ahead of the Fed meeting, but the reaction may be temporary. Technically, the market is weak and in a downtrend; the fundamental backdrop is not favorable for gold, though no one has ruled out force majeure events... Resistance levels: 5015, 5036, 5055 Support levels: 4967, 4909 Technically, consolidation is forming within the downtrend to build momentum for the continuation of the main trend. A break and close below 4967 could trigger a further decline to 4900–4850. However, there is an area of interest at 5015 on the chart, which the market may test before falling. A short squeeze could activate the trigger... Sincerely, R. Linda!

ETHUSDT - A hunt for liquidity ahead of a potential rise to 3000 BINANCE:ETHUSDT is stagnating after hitting a new high of 2,385; the altcoin looks quite promising, but the market may undergo a correction before any potential rise Bitcoin is slowing down after hitting a new intermediate high. The global downtrend is creating pressure. There is a possibility of a correction to retest the intermediate low (liquidity hunt). The rally has stalled, and the altcoin has entered a phase of stagnation. The market is still too cold for an aggressive bullish trend, and before a potential rise, Ethereum may test the 2233–2200 zone of interest Resistance levels: 2376 Support levels: 2303, 2233, 2200 A break below 2300 could trigger a counter-trend correction (locally) to retest the 2233–2200 zone of interest. A long squeeze and the market holding in the buying zone (above key support) could confirm the market’s bullish intentions and support further growth toward 2370–3000. Best regards, R. Linda!

Eth- Another push to 2500?In my previous Ethereum analysis, I mentioned that the 1800 zone had a high probability of acting as a temporary low, with good chances for an upside reversal. So far, the market has behaved in line with that expectation. ETHUSD reacted well from that area and moved higher, and since my entry, the position is currently up around 15%, confirming that buyers were indeed willing to step in at those levels. A Reversal… But Not the Bottom That being said, it is important to separate a tradable reversal from a long-term bottom. In my view, this move does not represent the end of the broader bear market. Rather, it appears to be a corrective phase within a larger structure, which is something we often see after extended declines. And this naturally leads to the key question: Does Ethereum still have room for another push higher? Reading the Current Structure Looking at the recent price action, the structure remains constructive in the short term. Ethereum has been holding its gains relatively well, without giving back much of the move. This kind of behavior often suggests that the market is not rushing to exit positions, but rather building pressure for continuation. More importantly, the recent consolidation near the local highs appears to be forming a pennant-type structure, which is typically considered a continuation pattern. This suggests that the market may simply be pausing before attempting another move higher. What Could Come Next If this structure continues to develop and eventually resolves to the upside, Ethereum could see another leg higher, extending the current corrective move. From a technical perspective, the 2500 zone becomes the next logical area of interest. A move toward that level would represent a more complete upside correction, following the initial rebound from 1800. The Bigger Context However, it is important to remain grounded in the broader context. Even if Ethereum pushes higher from here, this should still be viewed as a correction within a larger bearish environment, rather than the start of a new long-term bullish cycle. This distinction is essential for managing expectations and risk. Conclusion Ethereum has delivered a solid bounce from the 1800 zone, validating the idea of a short-term reversal and providing a strong move for those positioned early. At the same time: - The broader market structure still suggests a corrective phase - The current consolidation resembles a continuation pattern (pennant) - There is still potential for another push higher toward 2500 For now, the structure allows for further upside — but within the context of a market that may not yet have formed its final bottom. 🚀

ETH/BTC at Key Inflection – Third Bear Trap or Breakdown Ahead?ETH/BTC is currently testing a critical support zone, where price has already formed a similar bear trap structure for the third time. This repeated pattern suggests that the market is building pressure for a decisive move. The pair is compressing beneath a descending trendline, while holding a horizontal support area, creating a classic breakout vs breakdown scenario. Bullish Scenario: A confirmed break above 0.0320 would signal strength from ETH, potentially leading to outperformance against Bitcoin. This could mark the start of a broader rotation into altcoins. Bearish Scenario: If price breaks below 0.0280, the support fails and ETH/BTC could extend to new lows, continuing the bearish structure. Key Levels: Resistance: 0.0320 Support: 0.0280 Conclusion: ETH/BTC is at a major decision point, and the next move will likely be driven by a breakout above resistance or a breakdown below support.

Bull Market Strategy: Bitcoin Since last week, we have repeatedly published plans to buy BTCUSD at low levels; these strategies have been validated and have yielded excellent returns. Following the execution of each trading plan, the closing price for our BTCUSD orders consistently exceeded the entry price by over $3,000. If you missed out on those previous opportunities, make sure you don't miss this one. From the rebound of the US Dollar—which BTCUSD subsequently tracked—to the shift from a previous sideways consolidation phase to the current upward trajectory, the BTCUSD bull market has officially arrived. The price is currently hovering around $74,500; however, this is not the ceiling. Demand is rising, and a technical correction (upward adjustment) is imminent. Our target for this move is the $78,000–$80,000 range. Relative to the current market price, this target represents a potential gain of over $4,000—making this an excellent buying opportunity. When combined with the short-term "double-bottom" support pattern that has recently formed—and viewed through the lens of structural support on a larger time frame—BTCUSD demonstrates significant potential for short-term upside. Moreover, this upward movement is expected to be rapid. Therefore, if you actively trade BTCUSD or currently hold long positions, be sure to maintain your holdings and wait for the market to rise. If you have not yet opened a position, do so now; do not wait until you have missed out on such a prime buying opportunity only to be left with regrets.

MCX – STWP Equity Snapshot 📊 MCX – STWP Equity Snapshot Ticker: NSE: MCX Sector: Financial Market Infrastructure / Exchange CMP: 2,671.80 ▲ (+4.55%) Learning Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (Breakout Attempt Near Supply) Chart Pattern Observed: Ascending Triangle Testing Resistance Candlestick Context: Strong Bullish Expansion Toward Supply Zone MCX has been steadily transitioning into a constructive structure after forming a higher low near the 1,950 region and gradually building an ascending price pattern. The recent price action reflects a strong bullish expansion, with price now approaching a well-defined resistance zone near the 2,680–2,700 band. This area has previously acted as a supply region, making it a critical decision zone for the next phase of price behaviour. The structure now reflects a developing uptrend, supported by higher lows and consistent buying pressure on dips. The most recent move shows strength, but it is also testing an important resistance cluster, where market behaviour typically shifts between continuation and rejection. From a momentum standpoint, RSI is positioned around 65.6, indicating strong bullish momentum without yet entering extreme overbought territory. This supports continuation potential, but also suggests that price is approaching a zone where short-term reactions or pauses can occur, especially near resistance. Volume participation is moderately above average, with relative volume near 1.46 times the normal activity band. This indicates healthy participation supporting the move, though not yet at levels typically associated with aggressive institutional breakout confirmation. For continuation, further expansion in volume near resistance would be a positive signal. From a demand–supply perspective, a well-defined demand zone is positioned between 2,478 and 2,440, which aligns with the recent higher low structure. This zone acts as a key structural support area, and its integrity is important for maintaining the current bullish framework. Volume Analysis Current participation reflects moderate expansion, with relative volume near 1.46 times average levels. This suggests steady but not aggressive accumulation. If volume expands further as price attempts to move above resistance, it would improve the probability of breakout acceptance. Without such expansion, the move may transition into consolidation near current levels. Key Levels – Daily Timeframe Primary support is positioned near 2,600, followed by the broader demand zone between 2,478 and 2,440. These levels represent key structural areas where buyers have previously shown interest. On the upside, immediate resistance lies near 2,700, followed by higher supply zones around 2,751 and 2,822. These levels are critical for confirming continuation beyond the current range. Structure Read – What Matters Now The most important observation is that price is testing a major resistance zone after a steady higher low formation. This creates a classic decision point: If price sustains above 2,700, it may trigger continuation toward higher resistance levels. If price fails to hold above this zone, a pullback toward the 2,600–2,480 demand area becomes likely. The structure currently supports a bullish bias, but confirmation depends on acceptance above resistance, not just a temporary breakout. Price Reference Framework – Educational View From an intraday perspective, the observation zone lies around 2,681, with risk invalidation below 2,565. Upside reaction zones are positioned near 2,796 and 2,912, where price may encounter resistance. From a swing perspective over the next two to five sessions, the observation zone remains near 2,681, while structural invalidation lies below 2,478. If the breakout sustains, higher reference zones extend toward 3,086 and 3,391. STWP Option Chain Analysis (EOD 17 Mar 2026) From the current options positioning for the 30 March expiry, an important support base is visible near 2,600, while resistance is concentrated around 2,700. The highest liquidity is clustered near 2,680, which may act as a short-term price magnet. Call-side positioning is building around 2,700, while put-side liquidity remains visible near 2,600. Another notable level is 2,740, where price may face additional hedging-driven resistance. The visible positioning band currently spans approximately 2,600 to 2,700, creating a range width of about 100 points. Based on this structure, the expected intraday movement is approximately ±40 points from the ATM zone, placing upper activity near 2,720 and lower activity near 2,640. Options pressure currently reflects stronger put-side positioning, suggesting supportive conditions beneath current price levels. The build-up signal indicates short build-up, which may create resistance pressure near higher levels. Key liquidity strikes include: Best CE Liquidity Strike: 2,700 Best PE Liquidity Strike: 2,660 No significant liquidity vacuum is currently observed. If price manages to move above 2,800, it may signal strengthening bullish momentum. Conversely, a move below 2,500 may increase downside pressure. Overall, the options structure suggests range-bound behaviour between 2,600 and 2,700, with 2,680 acting as a liquidity magnet as participants continue adjusting positions. STWP View Momentum is strong while the broader trend is transitioning into an uptrend structure. Risk remains elevated due to proximity to resistance. Volume is moderately supportive, and sentiment remains bullish with the session registering a gain of approximately 4.55 percent. Final Outlook Momentum: Strong Trend: Up Risk: High Volume: Moderate 📘 Learning Note Breakouts near resistance zones should always be validated through acceptance and participation. A strong structure builds confidence, but only sustained price action above supply confirms continuation. Without confirmation, resistance zones often lead to consolidation or pullback. ⚠️ Disclaimer This post is intended solely for educational and informational purposes.

GOLD - Consolidation ahead of interest rate news ICMARKETS:XAUUSD is consolidating near a key psychological level, struggling to hold above $5,000. Pressure is coming from demand for the dollar as a safe-haven asset and expectations of a “hawkish” shift by the Fed Tensions in the Middle East continue to escalate. Iran’s foreign minister has denied any contact with the U.S., and hopes for a ceasefire are fading. Europe is trying to distance itself from the conflict, despite pressure from Trump, who continues to talk about victories... The Fed’s rate meeting is tomorrow. Rates are expected to remain unchanged, with a hint of a hawkish policy from the regulator, which will only increase pressure on gold. Today, the Reserve Bank of Australia raised rates to combat inflation... After a correction, the dollar may resume its upward trend, while oil will consolidate above 100.0 Resistance levels: 5036, 5054, 5091 Support levels: 4960, 4909 Gold is facing pressure within a downtrend, and fundamental support is weakening. A retest of 5036–5054 could trigger a short squeeze and a further decline. I do not rule out the possibility of a “liquidity hunt” rally toward the 5091 zone before the decline, ahead of negative news. Sincerely, R. Linda!

NZDUSD - False breakout before a decline FX:NZDUSD is testing the liquidity and interest zone of 0.5839–0.5845 as part of a counter-trend correction and, following some price manipulation, is returning to selling pressure... The dollar maintains an uptrend despite a false breakout of the psychological level at 100.0. Fundamentally, the index may continue to rise, which will only increase pressure on the currency pair. As part of the correction, the currency pair is testing the resistance level from the D1 timeframe. The manipulation ends with a false breakout and the formation of a reversal pattern. If the market remains below 0.5839, it could trigger a decline to the low Resistance levels: 0.5839, 0.5845, 0.5863 Support levels: 0.57665 A retest of resistance and consolidation below 0.5839 could signal a continuation of the decline. Area of interest: 0.5766 Best regards, R. Linda!

GOLD - Breakdown from the range. Consolidation below $5000 ICMARKETS:XAUUSD is trading below 5,000. Technically, the price has broken out of the broader range and has settled below 5,016—the support level of the consolidation pattern. The situation in the Middle East remains tense; oil and the dollar may continue to rise. Geopolitics: The main issue is the Strait of Hormuz. Oil continues to rise in price. The dollar is entering a consolidation phase due to conflicting news, which is preventing the index from establishing a clear direction, leaving gold in a state of uncertainty. Risks ahead of the Fed meeting: The Fed will announce its rate decision on Wednesday. Profit-taking on long dollar positions is possible, which will support gold. Gold is stuck in the $5,000 range awaiting clarification on Iran and signals from the Fed. Any specifics regarding the Strait or the rate decision will set the direction. Resistance levels: 5016, 5030 Support levels: 4981, 4960, 4909 Support for the current trading range has been broken, and an interim consolidation zone of 4960–5016 is forming. A retest of the 5000–5016 zone could trigger a short squeeze before a decline, amid continued capital outflows toward the strong dollar and rising oil prices. Best reagards, R. Linda!

BITCOIN - A correction and a hunt for liquidity ahead of a rally BINANCE:BTCUSDT.P bounces off $74K after its first test of resistance; signs of bullish sentiment are emerging locally... Bitcoin is showing positive momentum and consolidating above $70K. Bitcoin is gaining popularity amid geopolitical risks stemming from the Middle East and a correction in gold. Capital is flowing into oil, the dollar, and Bitcoin. The price is attempting to break out of consolidation. Bullish volume is gradually increasing. A break above 74K could trigger a rally. A retest of the 74,000 resistance level is forming. False breakout. Before the next breakout attempt, a correction to 72,400–71,800 is possible; a short squeeze could restore bullish momentum and support further growth. Resistance levels: 73,450, 74,050, 75,500 Support levels: 71,850, 70,560, 69,200 A short squeeze in the 72,350–71,850 range and a retest of the trend support zone could support further growth, a breakout from consolidation, and a rally toward the intermediate target of 75,500. Sincerely, R. Linda!

DKS - rare diamond pattern formed at potential top of bull trend Bearish - Diamond top ? if price turns round and shoots out the top then bull continuation if wrong. But I think the tops in for US equites at some point this year so why not now? Pattern is not perfect but it looks there to me Here are the main reasons Dick’s Sporting Goods (DKS) could move lower, ranked most important first: Lower-than-expected earnings outlook – Even after strong recent results, the company projected future earnings below analyst expectations, which can trigger selling. Weak consumer spending on discretionary goods – Sporting goods are discretionary purchases, so when consumers tighten budgets, demand can fall. Integration risks from the Foot Locker acquisition – The $2.4B purchase adds debt and operational risk, and the acquired business may weigh on earnings until it is turned around. Profit declines despite sales growth – The company has reported lower net income year-over-year, which can worry investors about margins and future profitability. Retail sector volatility – Retail stocks tend to drop when investors fear economic slowdown or weaker consumer demand. High expectations priced into the stock – When a stock has performed well previously, even good results can cause declines if investors expected stronger growth. ✅ Simple takeaway: DKS is most likely to fall if consumer spending weakens and investors worry that earnings growth will slow, especially while the company works through the Foot Locker acquisition and margin pressures.
