XAGUSD — Trendline Support Holds | Liquidity Sweep & Resistance Silver is currently holding above the 66.00–66.20 support zone while respecting the ascending trendline. The chart shows a potential recovery structure from this area.
If support and the trendline continue to hold, price may retest the 67.10–67.30 resistance zone, where previous highs and buy-side liquidity are located.
A confirmed breakout and close above 67.30 could open the way toward the next upside area around 67.40–67.50. Conversely, a sustained break below 66.00 would weaken the current bullish structure.
Key Levels:
• Support: 66.00–66.20
• Resistance: 67.10–67.30
• Buy-side Liquidity: Above 67.30
• Sell-side Liquidity: Below 66.00

Scalping - The bulls are targeting levels above 4,400.1. Market Structure — Bullish
Gold is maintaining a clear bullish trend after a strong rebound from the 4,240–4,250 zone.
EMA 9: ~4,382.6
EMA 89: ~4,337.2
EMA 9 > EMA 89 → bullish momentum remains dominant.
Price is trading above both EMA 9 and EMA 89 → buyers remain in control of the short-term structure.
Price structure is forming Higher Highs (HH) and Higher Lows (HL).
The short-term ascending trendline remains intact, supporting the continuation of the bullish trend.
🔴 2. Key Resistance
4,395–4,400: Psychological resistance and recent high.
4,410–4,415: Fibonacci 0.5 zone (~4,414.6).
4,440–4,460: Next upside target and major resistance area on the chart.
➡️ If price breaks and closes above 4,415, the probability of an extension toward 4,440–4,460 will increase significantly.
🟢 3. Support
4,380–4,385: EMA 9 + short-term support.
4,390–4,395: Fibonacci 0.618 zone (~4,391.9), currently acting as an important pivot area.
4,335–4,345: EMA 89 + major support zone.
As long as price holds above 4,380, the bullish structure remains intact.
If 4,380 is decisively broken, Gold could correct toward 4,350–4,340 before attracting fresh buying interest.

Oil gearing up to blast through all time highs!Oil has outperformed commodities such as gold and silver Since March 10th when we had a pullback on commodities across the board.
Combined with a geopolitical crisis This makes oil a very bullish asset that looks likely to blast through all time highs before the November elections in the US.
Best Setup for GOLDGlobal gold prices have going up over the past two days due to falling oil prices and a weaker U.S. dollar, which have eased inflation concerns that had been heightened by interest rate hikes.
LONG term target for gold is 6k until at least middle 2027. if we can break up more than 6k gold i can see 8000-11000 range for gold.
gold is about to challange the resistance again. its a good moment to buy.
If you have extra funds, you can use your capital wisely. Gold shouldn’t fall back below 3,500—and even if it does, it will only be temporary (low probability , only 10% for me). The current scenario suggests we’re in a “lower high” pattern, and we’ll continue to test resistance. It’s likely that by the end of 2026, the price will settle in the 4,400–5,200 range.
good luck

XAUUSD — internal pullback within a bigger bullish structurePrice is pushing up against the recent highs (~4400) after a strong internal rally. Right now it's the internal structure that's in question, not the bigger trend.
Scenario 1 (bearish continuation of the pullback)
A smaller high forms below 4400, then price breaks down through the current range, dipping into the 4240-4300 zone before any real decision is made.
Scenario 2 (bullish continuation)
Price makes one more push up near 4400-4420, pulls back into the 4240-4300 zone, and then reacts higher — continuing the bigger uptrend.
What ties it together
Both scenarios agree on one thing: the 4240-4300 zone is the key area to watch. Whether we get there directly (Scenario 1) or after one more high (Scenario 2), how price reacts there should clarify which structure is in control.
Key zone: 4240-4300
Bigger structure: still BEARISH BELOW 4400
Invalidation of the broader uptrend: a clean breakdown below 4240 with no reaction
XAUUSD | 30M Timeframe | Repetition Of Structure MethodMarkets don't move randomly — they move in repeating structural blocks. Every strong impulsive move originates from a specific price range where a large quantity of orders (institutional supply or demand) was absorbed before price expanded away. This origin range is the Quantity Box (QB).
The theory behind QB is simple: when price returns to revisit a zone that shares the same structural characteristics as a previous QB (similar range size, similar consolidation behavior, similar location relative to a liquidity sweep), it tends to react the same way the original box did — because the same type of order flow (quantity) is likely sitting there again.
How a QB Forms
Consolidation/Base – Price ranges sideways for a period, building a box of roughly equal highs and lows. This represents accumulation or distribution — a quantity of resting orders.
Liquidity Sweep (L-Sweep) – Before the real move, price often wicks below (or above) the box to grab stop-loss liquidity and trap late sellers/buyers. This sweep is a key confirmation that the box is "loaded."
Expansion – Price then explodes away from the box in the opposite direction of the sweep, leaving the QB as the origin of the impulsive leg.
Repetition – On the retracement leg, price often returns to a new zone with the same structural DNA (same box-size ratio, similar sweep-then-reversal pattern) as the original QB. This is where the pattern is expected to repeat.
Applying It to the Chart
On the left, the first gray box marks the original consolidation/QB where price accumulated before expanding higher.
Price rallied, pulled back sharply, and is now forming a second, smaller gray box — structurally repeating the first QB, accompanied by an L-SWEEP (liquidity grab) below the range.
A small zig-zag pattern near the sweep confirms stop-loss liquidity was taken before the expected reversal.
The marked zone (green candle) is where a bullish reaction is anticipated — the same way the first QB launched the prior rally, this QB is expected to launch the next leg up, provided a bullish confirmation pattern prints there (hence the "Need Bullish Pattern Here" note).
An invalidation level is also marked below (green circle) — "Incase Market Goes Down" — should the bullish QB fail to hold and price breaks further down along the descending trendline.
Key Rules for Identifying a Valid QB
Look for a clear range/box with defined highs and lows (not random noise).
A liquidity sweep beyond the box boosts validity — it shows stops were cleared before reversal.
Compare the box's proportions (height relative to the preceding move) to prior boxes on the same chart — structural repetition, not just visual similarity, is the key.
Wait for a confirmation candle/pattern (engulfing, pin bar, break of internal structure) inside or at the edge of the new QB before treating it as active — the box alone isn't an entry signal, it's a zone of interest.
Always mark an invalidation/alternate scenario level, since a QB that fails to hold can lead to continuation in the opposite direction.
XAUUSD - 18th September - LondonToday the gold is in a bullish trend with higher highs and higher lows so we're looking for demand zones. So far there's only one that is visible, and it can change slightly depending on where the 50% of the impulsion are as we only look to buy under them, in the discount side. There is an M5 imbalance left and liquidity below has been swept leaving a swing low. To be traded carefully depending on the pressure, otherwise we need to wait longer for more zones.
Gold lost its short-term value area but 4371 has not given wayOANDA:XAUUSD - US session read from my KenKem Master Volume Profile (MVP) indicator & strategy.
CONTEXT
Gold is up about 1.6% on the day and trades above the session VWAP near 4371, with the 15m EMA stack fanned upward and the net-volume read still leaning to the buy side. On the 5m profile, however, price has just slipped out of its local value area and is working back toward the master Point of Control, so the higher timeframe and the lower timeframe currently disagree. The US session opens shortly.
KEY ZONES
- Resistance / supply: 4388.6, then the session high at 4399.7
- Support / demand: 4371 (VWAP), then 4368.6, then 4360.6
- Point of Control (volume magnet): near 4364 on the 15m profile
SCENARIOS (to watch - NOT signals)
Bullish: hold above 4371 -> room toward 4388.6 then 4399.7 (trend structure and buy-side net volume intact).
Bearish: lose 4371 on a closing basis -> opens 4368.6 then 4360.6 (value-area rejection, VWAP lost).
Range/unclear: stuck between 4371 and 4388.6 -> stand aside until a decisive close.
Invalidation: a close beyond 4360.6 voids this map.
WHAT THE MVP TOOL IS SHOWING
The Master Volume Profile plots rolling value areas (VAH/VAL), the Point of Control, and a net-volume pressure read to locate where volume is building or drying up. This idea is the qualitative output of that tool; the strategy's internal thresholds, gating and entry/exit logic are not disclosed.

XAU/USD Bullish Rebound | Support Holds, 4,410 Target in FocusXAU/USD 15M Analysis — BUY Setup 📈
Bias: Bullish
Current price: ~4,374
Entry zone: 4,368.5–4,369.0
Support: 4,368–4,369
Stop Loss: 4,348.8
Target: 4,410
Technical View
Price is pulling back into the marked support zone around 4,368–4,369.
The recent structure shows a strong bullish move followed by a retracement, making the support area important for a potential continuation.
A bullish reaction/rejection from support would strengthen the long setup.
4,400–4,410 is the major upside target/resistance area.
A decisive 15M close below 4,348.8 would invalidate the setup.
Risk/Reward: approximately 1:2 from the marked entry to target.
Trade idea: 🟢 BUY on confirmation around 4,368–4,369 → SL 4,348.8 → TP 4,410.
XAU/USD Breakdown: From SBR Retest to Resistance Zone 2 XAU/USD (Gold) 4-Hour Bullish Continuation
The 4-hour chart for Gold (XAU/USD) shows a bullish trend reversal following a solid double-bottom reaction near key support levels. After testing lower demand near Support Zone 2 (~4,240–4,260) and holding above Support Zone 1 (~4,300–4,320), price structured a shift in market character (CHoCH) followed by consecutive Breakouts of Structure (BoS) to the upside. Price is currently holding above the flipped Support/Resistance (SBR) level around 4,370–4,390
Technical Reasons for Buying
Strong Double-Bottom Defense at Support Zone 2: Price tested the major lower liquidity area at Support Zone 2 (~4,240.00 – 4,260.00) twice (around Sep 11–12 and Sep 15–16), establishing a solid base and showing clear buyer absorption.
Market Structure Shift (CHoCH): Following the bounce off Support Zone 2, price pushed above local lower highs, creating a Change of Character (CHoCH) that signals an early reversal from a bearish retracement back into a bullish trend.
Break of Structure (BoS) Confirmations: Price broke out above the minor internal resistance and validated a Break of Structure (BoS) past the recent Support-Become-Resistance (SBR) zone near 4,370.00–4,380.00.
Bullish Market Dynamics (Higher Highs & Higher Lows): The price action projects a classic pullback-and-continuation pattern: a minor retest of the broken SBR level before expanding upward toward Resistance Zone 1 (~4,440.00) and higher into Resistance Zone 2 (~4,510.00).
ES – Potential Long Scalp Around 7670Today’s area of interest on ES is a potential long scalp around the 7670 area, should price trade back into the zone.
What makes this level interesting is the confluence we have around it. pdEQ comes in at this area, alongside a SP, with some previous supply also lining up around the same zone.
This gives us a nice area to monitor for a potential reaction if tested.
As always, this is not a blind entry. If price trades into the 7670 area, we’ll monitor how it reacts and look to take the trade only if we get the confirmation we want.
Area of interest: ~7670
Bias: Potential long scalp
Confluence: pdEQ + SP + previous supply
We’ll let price come to us and trade the reaction
the closing bell is losing its power The U.S. stock market is moving closer to a trading day that barely closes.
On September 17, 2026 , the SEC held a roundtable on preparations for 24-hour U.S. equity trading , bringing together exchanges, brokers, clearing firms, asset managers and other market participants.
The discussion covered overnight liquidity, surveillance, settlement, operational resilience, investor protection and what further expansion toward 24/7 trading could require.
This was not a new SEC approval of 24/7 stock trading. The regulatory groundwork for 23/5 trading was established earlier. Nasdaq is scheduled to introduce its new overnight session on December 6, 2026, creating near-continuous weekday access with a one-hour daily break.
THE SIGNIFICANCE
Financial markets are global, but traditional U.S. equity trading hours were built around a much narrower trading day.
Information does not stop when the closing bell rings. Corporate developments, geopolitical events and moves in overseas markets can occur while U.S. exchanges are closed.
Longer trading hours can therefore give investors more direct access to U.S. securities.
But more hours do not automatically mean better trading conditions.
The SEC specifically examined expected liquidity conditions as markets move toward near-continuous trading.
For traders, that creates an important distinction:
A market being open does not mean every hour offers the same opportunity.
@currencynerd lesson for @TradingView community :
1. Liquidity matters more than access.
Being able to execute a trade does not mean the market has the same depth or spreads as the core session.
2. Price discovery can increasingly happen outside the traditional session.
Overnight developments can influence where markets open and how price behaves when the main U.S. session begins.
3. Time of day is part of market structure.
Volume, participation, spreads and volatility can vary considerably between sessions. Traders should study those differences rather than treating every trading hour equally.
4. More trading hours do not create more edge.
An additional trading session does not automatically create additional high-quality setups. Setup quality still matters more than screen time.
5. Execution becomes increasingly important.
As markets operate for longer periods, understanding spreads, liquidity, slippage and volatility becomes part of risk management not merely an execution detail.
The crypto connection
Crypto markets have operated around the clock for years.
Traditional securities markets are now moving toward some of the same characteristics: longer access, digital infrastructure and increasingly continuous market availability.
That does not make U.S. equities crypto. Their regulatory frameworks, ownership structures and market infrastructure remain different.
But the direction is notable.
The SEC's latest discussion is already looking beyond the initial extended-hours transition toward what further expansion to 24/7 trading could require.
Key Insight
The future trader may have access to more market hours but that does not mean more hours should be traded.
The real edge is understanding when liquidity is deep, when price discovery is active, how volatility changes and whether the execution environment justifies taking risk.
The closing bell is not disappearing.
Its importance is changing.
