GOLD --> The Downtrend Persists. What’s the Next Target?Dear Friends,
Gold has seen a modest rise amidst a broader bearish trend, currently trading around $2,617, up 1.27% on the day.
This slight uptick can be attributed to sellers pausing their pressure, coupled with the fundamental appeal of gold increasing. As the opportunity cost of holding the non-yielding precious metal decreases due to lower interest rates, gold becomes more attractive.
However, the Federal Reserve's cautious outlook on rate cuts—suggesting smaller reductions than expected next year—could weigh on gold's upward momentum.
Additionally, US Treasury yields edged higher on December 18, with the 10-year yield reaching its highest level since May. Treasuries, often considered a direct competitor to gold due to their interest-bearing nature, could diminish gold's appeal if yields continue to rise.
Ben personally advises waiting for a decisive candle close below the 2636 liquidity zone before taking further advantage of the market trend.
Trend Analysis
GBPNZD: Potential 400-Pip Bearish Reversal SetupGBPNZD is showing signs of a potential bearish reversal, with a possible move of 300-400 pips. While the bulls remain in control for now, a strong bearish engulfing candle has formed on higher timeframes, such as the 8H and 10H charts. This indicates the possibility of price reversing and re-entering the previous trading range. If confirmed, this setup could present a 400-pip sell opportunity.
Altcoins season has not even started!As you can see we are in the same spot that last cycle. BTC running avove previous ATH and total2 still bellow previous top. Once btc gets close to the top altcoins are going to explode, see how LMACD of Total 2 is not even close to the top of the descending diagonal. Scoop some alts now, next 12 months should be bright.

RSI EMA VWMA Long-Only Strategy (Updated)RSI EMA VWMA Long-Only Trading Strategy
This script is a fully adjustable long-only trading strategy designed to help traders identify profitable entry and exit points based on the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA). The strategy is straightforward, yet powerful, combining trend-following and momentum-based indicators for enhanced decision-making.
How It Works
Entry Criteria (Buy Signal):
A long trade is triggered when the RSI crosses above the lower threshold (e.g., 39) while the EMA is trading above the VWMA. This combination ensures that trades are initiated in favorable momentum and trend conditions.
Exit Criteria (Sell Signal):
Profit Target: The strategy automatically exits a trade once the price increases by the user-defined profit target percentage (e.g., 0.74%).
Stop Loss (Optional): To limit risk, the strategy includes an optional stop loss feature (e.g., 3%).
RSI Exit: Additionally, the trade is closed if the RSI crosses above the upper threshold (e.g., 78), indicating overbought conditions or reduced momentum.
Key Features
Indicator-Based Entries and Exits:
Combines RSI (momentum), EMA (trend-following), and VWMA (volume-weighted trend) for highly effective signal generation.
Fully Adjustable Parameters:
RSI Period: Number of periods for RSI calculation (default: 6).
Lower RSI Threshold: Determines when a buy signal is triggered (default: 39).
Upper RSI Threshold: Determines when a trade is exited due to overbought conditions (default: 78).

Profit Target (%): User-defined profit target to automatically exit trades (default: 0.74%).

Back Up The TruckSome believe gold has finished it's bull run, old hat from the late 70's folks say they have seen this before and calling a crash.
The Oct/Nov highs were ripe for a correction only, a wave four sideways triangle.
This building structure has perhaps only a matter of days before breaking out, buy at today's support or wait for the upper breakout for confirmation.
The coming wave five breakout will be strong, could coincide with geopolitical events.
Upside in precious metals has much much further to go, the current stage is only folks getting interested...the coming chaos by design will usher in a stampede. There is insufficient PM's right now for delivery should holders request their holdings.
Your opportunity to purchase PM's now, will prove prudent and wise.
Appreciate a thumbs up, good trading and God Bless you all!
AUDUSD Looking for mean reversion trade (SHORT TERM)Daily Chart seems over extended using 200sma Bollinger Band and RSI reacting at 25 oversold level although this could still push lower. If my predictions is right that the price could pull back to at least close to mean there could be an opportunity for a trade
1hour execution timeframe I waited a pullback to a 61.8 fib from the range also at the rsi 100sma pull back for confluence
The FED just changed cryptoThe #FOMC just cut interest rates by 25bps/0.25%, but something more important changed!
They raised their interest rate projections for the next 3 years by 50bps/0.5%.
This is not good for crypto in the short term.
The #FED is suggesting fewer interest rate cuts in the short-medium term which won't be good for risk assets such as CRYPTOCAP:BTC and other #alts
The market has also been diverging for the last couple of weeks so will likely fall in reaction to this.
Don't worry though #ALTSEASON will eventually come and mark the end of this bull run unless Trump creates the CRYPTOCAP:BTC strategic reserve and sends crypto 100 times higher.

AMD - Weekly ChannelsLooking at AMD for potential long position. Previous times playing downward channels AMD usually breaks out of the channel on the 4th retest of bottom part of channel.
Could Enter on 3rd test with tight stop and early scales marked in orange.
With recent hawkish Fed on 12/18, we may see more downside (a 4th test) before a breakout from the channel.
CYCLE 4 | BTC If Perfect Cycle - ATM Target Zone [For Fun]IF PERFECT CYCLE - ATM TARGET ZONE
For this post (just for fun) if BTC is allowed to run to it historic tends this cycle, then I have marketed the projected 'ATH Target Zone', based on the current state of my price modelling, cycle mapping, oscillators, indicators and technical analysis tends.
Weekly RSI - CURRENT ANALYSIS
While the weekly RSI bearish divergence (yet to be locked in) looks eerily familiar to our double peak top the 2021 cycle, if this does eventuate then we will be looking for BULLs to continually invalidate similar to the 2017 bull run. If there is a reasonable pull back at this point (30% to 40% pull back) and we retest and hold the 21W EMA 20W SMA, then this would be consistent with the 2017 bull run at this point in the cycle and we would then want to see bulls invalidate the bearish divergence on the weekly RSI to have confidence in the possibility of more upward price action ahead.

What do you think about this chart? Am I too bullish or bearish with this zone?
