XAU/USD 26 August 2026 Intraday AnalysisH4 Analysis: -> Swing: Bullish. -> Internal: Bearish. Bias and analysis to remain the same as analysis dated 30 June 2026. Price did not print bullish CHoCH to indicate bullish pullback phase initiation. Price instead printed a new low followed by a bullish CHoCH Price is currently trading within and established internal range, however, I will continue to monitor price with respect to depth of pullback. Intraday expectation: Price to trade up to either premium of internal 50% EQ, or H4 demand zone before targeting weak internal low, currently priced at 3,942.100. Note: Gold remains volatile as tensions between the US, Israel, and Iran keep safe‑haven demand elevated. Markets are reacting quickly to every headline, while uncertainty around the Fed’s easing path and shifting U.S. policy under President Trump, especially tariffs continues to fuel choppy price action. For newer traders, the key is simple, stay flexible and manage risk carefully, as fast spikes and sudden reversals are a normal part of the current XAU/USD environment. H4 Chart: M15 Analysis: -> Swing: Bearish. -> Internal: Bullish. Bias and analysis to remain the same as yesterday's analysis dated 25 August 2026. Price has continued bullish, printing bearish CHoCH's, and containing higher with very minimal pullbacks. I will therefore apply discretion and not classify them as such. Price has since printed a further bearish CHoCH. I shall however continue to monitor this with respect to depth of pullback. Price is currently trading within an established internal range. Intraday expectation: Price to trade down to either discount of internal 50% EQ, or M15 supply zone before targeting weak internal high, currently priced at 4,697.105. Alternative scenario: You will note price has reacted at an H4 supply zone, therefore, it would be entirety feasible if price was to target strong internal low and print a bearish iBOS, given the internal structure of H4 is bearish. Note: Gold remains highly reactive on M15 as geopolitical risk continues to drive quick, headline‑led moves. The tension between the US, Israel, and Iran is keeping safe‑haven demand elevated, with markets still sensitive to any sign of escalation. At the same time, shifting US tariff policy under President Trump is adding extra uncertainty, fuelling sharp intraday swings and increasing the likelihood of sudden sentiment flips. Liquidity pockets and whipsaws remain common, making disciplined risk management essential. Gold’s geopolitical premium is still firmly in place, and until tensions ease, short‑term volatility is likely to stay front‑loaded. M15 Chart:

What Happens When Price Revisits This Fresh Supply Zone on USOILSymbol: USOIL Timeframe: Daily Structure: Supply Zone — Rally-Base-Drop Current Market Context Price is currently near an identified supply zone . This area is being observed because it originated from a strong imbalance following a Rally-Base-Drop structure. The formation consists of a rally, a relatively compact base, and a subsequent bearish leg-out. From a market-structure perspective, this sequence can provide useful context for studying how price behaves when it later revisits an area associated with previous selling pressure. Why This Zone Is Technically Significant Several characteristics make this area technically interesting: • Fresh zone: Price has not meaningfully revisited the zone since its formation. • Strong leg-out: The departure from the base was relatively decisive, creating a visible expansion in price. • Quality basing structure: The consolidation before the bearish move provides a clearly defined structural reference. • Market structure: The zone can be studied alongside surrounding swing highs, swing lows, and the broader sequence of price expansion and retracement. What Can Happen During a Revisit? A revisit to a supply zone does not guarantee rejection. One possible scenario is that price reacts around the zone and begins developing bearish price action. Such a reaction could include rejection candles, a change in short-term swing structure, or renewed downside momentum. Another possible scenario is that price continues through the zone and establishes acceptance above it. This could indicate that the historical supply is no longer influencing price in the same manner. A third possibility is a period of consolidation around the area, where price provides limited directional information before a clearer structure develops. Confirmation Matters The zone itself represents a technical area of interest rather than a predetermined outcome. Price action confirmation can provide additional context when studying the reaction. Observations may include rejection, changes in market structure, momentum shifts, or sustained acceptance beyond the zone. These observations are part of technical analysis and should not be interpreted as trading signals. Invalidation Is Possible Supply zones can weaken or become invalidated. If price moves decisively through the area and establishes sustained acceptance above it, the original Rally-Base-Drop interpretation may become less relevant. This illustrates an important principle of supply-and-demand analysis: a historical imbalance does not guarantee that the same area will produce the same reaction in the future. Risk Management — Educational Perspective From a general trading-education perspective, risk management involves recognizing that any technical interpretation can be incorrect. Concepts such as position sizing, predefined invalidation conditions, and controlled exposure are commonly used to manage uncertainty. These concepts are presented for educational purposes and are not recommendations for any particular trade or individual. Key Observation The interesting question is not whether this supply zone must hold. The technical question is: How does USOIL behave when price interacts with this fresh Daily Rally-Base-Drop structure? The resulting price action may provide additional information about the evolving market structure, regardless of whether the reaction is bullish, bearish, or inconclusive.

USDJPY 2H: What Happens at This Fresh Supply Zone?Symbol: USDJPY Timeframe: 120 Minutes Structure: Supply Zone — Rally-Base-Drop Current Market Context Price is currently near an identified supply zone . This area is being observed because it originated from a strong imbalance following a Rally-Base-Drop structure. The zone represents an area where historical price action showed a relatively compact basing phase followed by a strong bearish leg-out. From a market-structure perspective, this type of formation can be useful for studying how price behaves when it revisits an area associated with previous supply. Why This Zone Is Technically Interesting Several characteristics make this area worth observing: • Fresh zone: Price has not meaningfully revisited the area since its formation. • Strong leg-out: The departure from the base was relatively decisive, indicating a notable imbalance in the observed price action. • Quality basing structure: The base shows comparatively contained price movement before the expansion lower. • Market structure: The formation can be examined in the context of curve analysis. What Can Happen When Price Revisits Supply? A revisit does not guarantee a particular outcome. One possible scenario is that price encounters renewed selling pressure around the zone and begins forming bearish price-action structures. Another possibility is that price moves through the zone, indicating that the historical supply may no longer be influencing price in the same way. A move through the area could therefore provide useful information about how the market is interacting with this previously identified supply. Conversely, rejection from the zone could become an interesting example of how price responds when returning to a fresh Rally-Base-Drop structure. Confirmation Matters The zone itself is only a technical area of interest. Price action confirmation can provide additional information about whether the market is actually reacting to the area. Examples of observations could include rejection, changes in swing structure, momentum shifts, or sustained acceptance above the zone. These are analytical observations rather than predetermined signals. Invalidation Is Also Possible Supply zones are not permanent. A sustained move through the area could weaken or invalidate the original structural interpretation. This is an important concept when studying supply and demand: historical imbalance does not guarantee that the same imbalance will influence future price action. Risk Management — Educational Perspective From a general trading-education perspective, risk management involves considering the possibility that a technical thesis may be incorrect. Concepts such as predefined invalidation conditions, position sizing, and controlled exposure are commonly discussed as ways of managing uncertainty. These are general educational concepts rather than recommendations for any particular market participant or trade. Key Observation The interesting question is not whether this supply zone must hold. The more useful technical question is: How does USDJPY behave when price interacts with this fresh Rally-Base-Drop structure? That price-action response may provide additional information about the current market structure. This publication is intended solely for educational and informational purposes.

CADJPY:Wave WhispersWave Whispers On the three-month chart of CAD/JPY, the larger structure begins with a downward Zigzag, followed by a complex and somewhat irregular structure that may belong to the Double/Triple Zigzag or Combination family. At this stage, identifying the exact pattern is less important than understanding its degree and structural progression. A sustained bullish move and a confirmed break above the previous peak could provide an important green light for the bullish scenario, initially opening the path toward 137.20, followed by 153.20 as an extended target. The key point comes after the breakout: any correction should be proportional to the wave degree, the preceding advance, and the structure being formed. A strong advance does not automatically require a deep correction. The market may form a sideways or complex correction after the breakout and then resume its upward extension. The bullish scenario gains strength if the post-breakout movement develops the characteristics of a true impulsive structure while respecting the three primary rules of an impulse. So, the breakout is not the end of the analysis; it is the beginning of the more important part. The market’s behavior after the breakout will reveal whether we are dealing with a genuine impulsive move or another corrective structure within the larger pattern. Patterns whisper; I listen. — Mehdi Abbasi | EWP

Long trade Pair XAUUSD Buyside trade idea Entry 4Hr observations Tue 25th Aug 26 6.00 am LND Session AM Entry 4638.039 Profit level 4653.471 (0.333%) Stop level 4635.802 (0.048%) RR 6.9 Core POC Read The important detail on this chart is that price is trading around and slightly above the developing POC zone (roughly the 4637 area), which is acting as the market’s current fair-value anchor. 1) Entry is sitting near fair value The developing POC is where the most business is being done. When price holds above that level after a pullback, it often signals acceptance, not rejection. That means buyers are defending value rather than letting price auction lower. 2) 4H observations support the idea From the broader structure, Gold already showed prior buyside intent on the left side of the chart, and the current session looks more like rebalancing into value rather than full bearish continuation. So, this long is not a random chase higher — it is more like pullback into value → hold near POC → rebuild above fair value → push toward higher-side liquidity For this trade to work cleanly, price should: Hold above the POC / value area Reclaim and sustain above nearby intraday structure Push into the next higher references: Developing VAH VWAP band / upper value then finally the 4653.471 target So, the path is basically: POC hold → value acceptance → VAH reclaim → upper-value expansion This long becomes weaker if: price falls back below POC cannot hold 4637–4638 trades back below 4635.802 shows that the market is rejecting higher prices and re-accepting lower value. If that happens, then the market is saying: “this was not accumulation at value, this was only a pause before lower pricing. This is a value-based long: buy the hold above POC, target the rotation from fair value into upper value. SNAP-style summary MAP → 4H bullish context, pullback into value POC → developing POC around 4637 supports the setup HOLD → entry at 4638.039 sits just above fair value SHIFT → need continued acceptance above value PAY → 4653.471

APEUSDT Buyers Could Get Trapped Before the Next Bullish MoveYello, Paradisers! Could APEUSDT be preparing to trap early buyers with one more move lower before the higher-timeframe bullish continuation begins? 💎APEUSDT is currently showing bearish signs on the 1H timeframe after rejecting from the weekly resistance. Price has also printed a 1H Bearish CHoCH and is now reacting from a 1H resistance zone, increasing the probability of a short-term bearish move. 💎The market structure is currently bearish on both the weekly and 1H timeframes, while the 4H and daily structures remain bullish. This creates a lower-probability pullback setup rather than a clean higher-timeframe bearish trend. In simple terms, the higher timeframes can still continue bullish overall, while the 1H structure suggests that price may first retrace lower. 💎The current consolidation is also attracting early buyers into the market. This increases the possibility that price could first manipulate below the range, take liquidity, and shake out those early longs before eventually continuing the broader bullish move. 💎For downside targets, we can focus on liquidity resting below the current price together with nearby 1H and 4H support zones. These areas could become logical locations for price to react if the bearish pullback develops. 💎However, risk management is especially important here because the broader trend remains bullish. If strong bullish confirmation appears from any of these support areas, it would be a clear warning that the short setup is losing probability and that protecting the position becomes the priority. 💎For invalidation, the setup can be considered invalid if price closes convincingly above the 1H resistance zone, ideally allowing a reasonable buffer rather than reacting to a temporary wick. This is a pullback setup against the broader bullish structure, so patience is essential. The objective is not to force a bearish bias, but to capitalize only if the lower-timeframe weakness develops exactly as expected. Discipline, confirmation, and proper risk management remain the priority. MyCryptoParadise iFeel the success🌴

NVDA Earnings Could Decide This Move: $220 or $193?The market is watching **Blackwell demand, forward guidance, Rubin, AI infrastructure spending, and whether NVIDIA can maintain its current growth trajectory**. With expectations already extremely high, the reaction will likely depend more on guidance than simply beating estimates. My technical map still remains the same: Price rejected from the $228.05 high, then broke below the $220 resistance, confirming the bearish shift in short-term order flow. We then saw price retrace into the 15M OB around $213–214, giving that zone another opportunity to act as resistance. Price rejected from there and displaced lower. Now, price is reacting from the $207–209 support zone. This is the area I’m watching closely. If support fails, the next draw is around $202, followed by the larger $192–193 OB. The $220–224 area remains key resistance. Any retracement back into that zone could provide another opportunity for the bearish move to continue. Earnings will provide the catalyst. Price action will tell me which path is real $220 resistance → 15M OB rejection → support at $207–209 → $202 → $192–193 OB.* $188.89 low remains the protected low for this structure.

Bitcoin — The Bottom Doesn't Need to Be PerfectFor months, Bitcoin traders have been asking the wrong question: “Where is the bottom?” $70K? $64K? $58K? $46K? Everyone has a number. Everyone has a scenario. But markets rarely give you the luxury of knowing the exact turning point in real time. What they do give you is evidence. And Bitcoin is beginning to provide a different set of information. After forming a potential double-bottom structure around $58K, BTC has reclaimed the $74K area and pushed back above $80K, bringing the market directly into the $80K–$82.5K confirmation zone. That does not prove the bottom is in. But it does mean the downside thesis can no longer be treated as a certainty. And this is exactly why I don't trade bottoms. The Bottom Is a Result — Not a Signal You will never know the exact bottom while you're standing on it. What you can identify is a change in market behavior. When sellers repeatedly fail to extend the decline. When liquidity sweeps fail to produce meaningful continuation. When previously defended resistance begins getting reclaimed. When lower highs begin to get broken. When price breaks structure and successfully holds the retest. That is when probability begins to change. The objective isn't to buy the lowest possible price. The objective is to participate when the market begins proving that the downside thesis is losing credibility. You don't need the bottom. You need evidence that the market has moved away from it. Bitcoin Has Started Giving Us Different Information The move back above $74K matters. Not because $74K magically makes Bitcoin bullish. It matters because of what price had to overcome to get there. The market had spent months producing lower highs and lower lows. Then came the potential $58K double-bottom attempt. From there, Bitcoin reclaimed the $74K structural area and accelerated toward $80K. That is a meaningful change in behavior. But I am not interested in chasing a vertical move simply because price is rising. The breakout is not the entire thesis. The next test is more important. $82.5K Is the Confirmation — Not $74K The $74K reclaim changes the structure. But it does not complete the reversal. $82.5K is the more important confirmation level. A decisive break and acceptance above that area would represent a meaningful break of the recent lower-high structure. That would strengthen the argument that Bitcoin is transitioning from recovery into a broader bullish structure. But even then, I would want to see what happens next. Breakout → acceptance → retest → continuation. If Bitcoin breaks above $82.5K and later returns toward the $74K area, the quality of that retest becomes extremely important. Can previous resistance become support? Can buyers defend the reclaimed structure? Can BTC begin producing higher highs and higher lows? That is where confirmation becomes much more valuable than anticipation. This Is Where Patience Becomes an Advantage A strong move does not mean we have to chase it. If Bitcoin continues higher, there will be continuation opportunities. If it pulls back, there may be a retest opportunity. If it consolidates, another breakout may develop. The mistake is believing that missing one entry means missing the entire move. It doesn't. I would rather miss the first part of a move than enter without a defined invalidation simply because I am afraid of missing it. The market will always provide another opportunity. Capital preservation gives you the ability to take it. The Bullish Scenario Has a Clear Path If Bitcoin can: Hold the reclaimed structure → break $82.5K → successfully retest the $74K area → continue producing higher highs and higher lows then the recovery thesis becomes considerably stronger. The next major objective on my chart is the $100K–$100.6K HTF supply region. That is not a prediction that Bitcoin must reach $100K. It is simply the next major area where I expect the market to face meaningful supply. The path matters more than the target. $74K reclaim. $82.5K confirmation. $74K retest. Then potential expansion toward $100K+. That is the sequence I want to see. The Bearish Scenario Still Exists This is not a declaration that Bitcoin has permanently bottomed. A breakout can fail. A reclaim can become a deviation. A retest can lose support. And a bullish thesis without an invalidation is simply hope. For me, the important line in the sand is around $69.4K. If Bitcoin loses that level after failing to establish the reclaimed structure, the current bullish recovery thesis would be materially weakened. At that point, I would reassess the market rather than defend the original thesis. That's not weakness. That's trading. I don't need Bitcoin to follow my prediction. I need to know what price action would prove me wrong. What I'm Watching Now 1. $82.5K confirmation Can BTC decisively break and hold above the recent structural resistance? 2. Breakout acceptance Does price remain above the reclaimed structure instead of immediately falling back below it? 3. $74K retest If BTC pulls back, can the former resistance area become support? 4. Market structure Do higher highs and higher lows begin replacing the previous lower-high sequence? 5. HTF supply How does Bitcoin react as it approaches the $100K–$100.6K supply region? 6. Invalidation Does BTC remain above $69.4K, or does the bullish thesis lose structural credibility? These questions matter more than predicting whether Bitcoin reaches $90K, $100K, or beyond. The Real Trade Isn't the Bottom The bottom is something you identify after the market has moved away from it. The real opportunity is recognizing the transition: Bearish structure → potential bottom formation → reclaim → breakout → retest → confirmation → expansion. That is the process I want to trade. Bitcoin doesn't owe us a perfect entry. It doesn't owe us $46K. It doesn't owe us $100K either. It only needs to give us enough information to make a high-quality decision. And right now, the information is changing. The question is no longer simply: “Where will Bitcoin bottom?” The better question is: “Has Bitcoin done enough to shift the probability away from further downside and toward a broader recovery?” That answer will not come from an opinion. It will come from price action. Probability over prediction. WESLAD Research

BTC: The Top-Down Analysis Played Out Exactly As ExpectedMy previous BTC analysis was built from the Daily → 2H → 15M, and now we can see how the pieces came together. The bullish bias was clear, even while BTC was retracing from the Daily OB. On the 15M, the OB I highlighted remained intact and continued to act as support. Price respected that zone, maintained bullish structure, and eventually expanded higher. From there: → 15M OB held → BTC reclaimed the highs → Price pushed through $80K → BTC printed a new high around $81.27K → We now have a retracement from that high Looking at the 2H, price has also respected the broader bullish structure. The Daily FVG around the $79K area is now an important zone to watch during this retracement, while the higher-timeframe OB around $75.1K remains much deeper support. This is exactly why I use multiple timeframes. The 15M gave the execution structure, while the 2H and Daily provided the bigger picture. The analysis played out. Now I’m watching how BTC reacts to these imbalances and OBs during the next retracement.

The auction path is: 68.505 Entry → reclaim 68.95 VAL → attack 69.03 POC → recover 69.13 VAH → reclaim 69.20 VWAP → expand toward 69.925 target That gives the trade a logical progression from discount → value → premium expansion. What the POC Is Saying The main decision area is 68.95–69.20. If Silver can accept above that cluster, then the market is no longer simply bouncing from discount — it is beginning to migrate value higher. That would strengthen the path toward: 69.50 internal liquidity → 69.925 target → 70.08 external high. If price falls below 68.95 and rotates back under the developing value area, the continuation thesis weakens.

Price has already completed the lower-value recovery and is now trading above the developing POC, VAH and VWAP cluster. That means the trade is no longer dependent on a mean-reversion move back into value; it is looking for acceptance above value and continuation into higher liquidity. The key sequence is: lower-value recovery → POC reclaimed → VAH reclaimed → VWAP held → entry 1.4983 → higher-value expansion → 1.5228 session reference → 1.5302 PAY What the POC Is Saying Now The important zone beneath the trade is the 1.490–1.492 value/VWAP cluster. As long as XRP continues to hold above that area, the market is showing that value has migrated higher.

SOL has already completed the lower-value recovery and is now trading materially above: VAL → POC → VAH → VWAP That tells us the auction has moved from balance into higher-value discovery. The entry at 96.316 is not trying to catch a bottom. It is participating after value has already migrated higher. The clean path is: 93.89 VAL → 94.07 POC → 94.76 VAH → 95.02 VWAP → 96.316 Entry → 97.591 PAY What POC Is Telling Us Now The most important observation is that the whole developing value structure is now beneath price. That supports continuation as long as SOL continues to hold above the 96.1–96.3 entry/breakout region. The next likely draw is the 97.5–97.6 upper liquidity area, which aligns well with the planned target. If price loses 96.139 and starts accepting back below the breakout structure, the continuation thesis weakens and rotation back toward VWAP becomes more likely.

Short trade 📊 XAUUSD GOLD SPOT — POC / VALUE-AREA READ Monday 24 August 2026 Entry Time: 7:45 AM NY Time Session: London Session AM Direction: 🔴 Sell-side Entry: 4659.27 Target: 4627.27 (−0.684%) Stop: 4670.00 (~0.229%) RR: 2.98R POC / Value Map From the chart: Developing VA High: ~4645.62 Developing POC: ~4643.42 Developing VA Low: ~4636.17 Modified VWAP: ~4635.61 Current price at setup: ~4652 Entry: 4659.27 Target: 4627.27 POC Narrative This short is being taken above developing value, after Gold pushed into the upper distribution/premium area and failed to sustain the move above the recent high. That gives the trade a clean premium → value reversion logic. The route is: 4659.27 entry → reject above VAH 4645.62 → rotate through POC 4643.42 → lose VAL 4636.17 → pass through VWAP ~4635.61 → 🎯 4627.27 target What the POC Is Telling Us The important point is that the sell entry sits well above POC and VAH. That means the short is not trying to sell inside value — it is looking for a failed auction above value followed by reversion back through the distribution. If price trades back below 4645.62 VAH and begins accepting under 4643.42 POC, the sell-side thesis strengthens considerably. If Gold instead regains 4659–4670 and accepts above the upper distribution, the mean-reversion thesis weakens. SNAP POC Read MAP → premium above value RAID → upper liquidity / recent high attacked RECLAIM → failure back under the upper value boundary SHIFT → bearish rotation developing EXECUTE → 4659.27 CONFIRM → acceptance below VAH / POC PAY 1 → 4636.17 VAL PAY 2 → 4635.61 VWAP FINAL PAY → 🎯 4627.27 Final Read ✅ Entry from premium above value ✅ Upper liquidity already attacked ✅ POC sits below as a natural magnet ✅ VAL / VWAP provide clear intermediate objectives ✅ Target at 4627.27 aligns with deeper return-to-value / lower-liquidity delivery POC roadmap: 4659.27 Entry → 4645.62 VAH → 4643.42 POC → 4636.17 VAL → 4635.61 VWAP → 4627.27 PAY @SNAPTradingFramework

Nasdaq: Lower Low and Lower HighsThe Nasdaq-100 has limped for months, and some traders may see more difficulties ahead. The first pattern on today’s chart is the series of lower highs since early June. Combined with July’s lower low, those might reflect weakening in the intermediate term. Second, NDX probed slightly above its previous week’s high last Monday, August 17. However, it was quickly rejected and fell under the week’s low. The resulting bearish outside candle is a potential reversal pattern. Third, MACD has turned negative. This tepid price action comes at a time of historic earnings growth. Does that reflect doubts that conditions will remain as strong in coming months? TradeStation has, for decades, advanced the trading industry, providing access to stocks, options and futures.
