Beyond Technical Analysis

GBPUSD - Very InterestingWith NFP creating massive volatility on Friday this pair is a bit messy. We have however created an internal structure shift on the 15min timeframe to the downside lower the HTF order flow still being bullish This could be a case of get what we can to the downside until we hit the HTF demand and look to get long. As you can see I am already trying to forecast ahead of what could potentially happen with this pair as when it gets to certain levels and there are reactions it will come as no surprise. If I can be of assistance to anybody please don't hesitate to message.

Bitcoin plummets!!Good day traders, I am back with yet another update on BTC/USD. My last update on bitcoin what I was expecting price to do unfortunately did not happen as price was very weak, I had a FVG(SIBI) that I really wanted price to revisit and the two price levels that make up the SIBI are 107752 and 107149. Now that both our sellside liquidity were taken does that mean price is now gonna look for the buyside liquidity? My honest opinion is I don't think because I said 97k is insight and I believe it can still happen and it will according to my HTF perspective. On the daily TF we have clear sight of relative highs that we wanna see price take and that might happen today but my short term objective is the high that was booked on Tuesday. That Tuesday's candlestick has a very large wick and from my time learning with ICT's content, wicks contain a lot of price data that can be used either for entries or exits. 4H- Here we had a shift in market structure lower on Thursday but price has been bullish ever since the shift happened. On this respective TF we have equal highs too, and ICT teaches us to always focus our attention on them mainly because price looks for liquidity and imbalances on the 4 hour TF...should we look closely on the left of our screens or chart, there is an order block from the wick I mentioned above. Again what are the rules of an order block?.. FROM TOMORROW PRICE WILL START TO PLUMMET!!

Eyes on USDT.D — Potential Altcoin Rotation SetupUSDT Dominance Update (USDT.D) USDT.D is currently sitting just above the key red zone (support). This level has acted as an important pivot for the last few weeks. If we see a breakdown below this zone, it could trigger a short-term rally in altcoins — as capital rotates out of stablecoins into risk assets. However, if USDT.D holds and bounces from this level again, it may put short-term pressure on alts. Key Level to Watch: The red zone — a clean break below it could open the door for a fresh altcoin run. For now, patience is key. Let the chart confirm.

Stop Hunting for Perfection - Start Managing Risk.Stop Hunting for Perfection — Start Managing Risk. Hard truth: Your obsession with perfect setups costs you money. Markets don't reward perfectionists; they reward effective risk managers. Here's why your perfect entry is killing your results: You ignore good trades waiting for ideal setups — they rarely come. You double-down on losing trades, convinced your entry was flawless. You're blindsided by normal market moves because you didn’t plan for imperfection. 🎯 Solution? Shift your focus from entry perfection to risk management. Define your maximum acceptable loss, stick to it, and scale into trades strategically. TrendGo wasn't built to promise perfect entries. It was built to clarify probabilities and structure risk. 🔍 Stop chasing unicorns. Focus on managing the horses you actually ride.

The SECRET is Compounding Tiny Objectives & Finding SatisfactionIn this video I talk about what I don't really find people talking about, which is how important it is to find satisfaction in your trading. When I say 'satisfaction', I am talking about the monetary kind. What do I mean by this? A problem I used to have in my earlier days was over-trading, revenge trading, blowing accounts, the usual story. I even had a decently high win-rate and I was good at understanding price. What I discovered was that I was not finding satisfaction because I was not risking enough on my trades. You see.. my strategy had a high win-rate with a positive R average, but the setups did not appear that often. Not as rare as a unicorn, but still, I'd have to sit around and wait and wait and wait. By the time my setup came, I put on a small risk, and I won small. Subconsciously, I found that quite frustrating, even though I was actually winning most of my trades. You can imagine how I felt when I lost a trade. I felt like I invested all that time for nothing. One could argue that I was being careful, but the problem was I was being too careful. I age the same as everyone else, and everyone else ages the same as me. I am investing my time into this strategy, time I will never get back. If I am not utilizing my time in relation to the earning potential, then that is a bad investment. Being a psychologically prone person, I made it a serious rule that all my criteria for my setup must be hit before I take that trade, no exceptions. I kept myself on the higher timeframes so that my mental state can safely process what I needed to process, whether it was analytical or just psychological. Another point was getting over what others were showcasing or doing. Material luxuries and large wins are all subjective things. It was frustrating seeing people trade every single day, most of them with green days. I felt like I had to do the same too to be a good trader. I was WRONG. What I actually need to do was make my system work for me, and that included how I implemented risk and what was satisfying enough for me to pursue. Like I said in the video, if what you want to do is not interesting or attractive to you, you won't want to do it. As long as what you want to do makes sense and isn't you trying to go from zero to a hundred in 2.5 seconds. As the title says, compound tiny objectives but make it satisfying in terms of risk and your time invested. - R2F Trading

How to read market sentiment like a pro? 1️⃣ What Is Consumer Sentiment? Consumer sentiment reflects how optimistic or pessimistic people feel about their financial situation and the overall economy. It’s a measure of people’s willingness to spend money. When confidence is high, consumers tend to spend more. When it's low, they hold back. ✅ It helps anticipate shifts in market behavior ✅ Used as a macroeconomic signal for traders and investors ✅ Often treated like a leading indicator for the S&P 500 and other indices 2️⃣ Why Is Consumer Sentiment Important? The economy is largely driven by consumer spending. When people feel good about the economy, they: - Buy more products - Take on more debt - Invest in assets This behavior fuels business growth and market momentum. When sentiment drops, the opposite happens. Sentiment is not always perfect or predictive, but it increases the probability of price moves — and in trading, we always aim for higher probabilities, not certainties. 3️⃣ Types of Sentiment Indicators There are several forms of sentiment tracking: ✔️ Consumer Sentiment Index (e.g. University of Michigan) ✔️ News Sentiment (based on headline tone) ✔️ Market Sentiment Indicators (e.g. VIX, bond spreads) ✔️ Social/Headline Aggregators (e.g. AI-driven data that tracks public mood) ✔️ XLY/XLP what we have here Each has strengths and limitations. For example, consumer sentiment is slower to change but more reliable long-term. News sentiment can be noisy and volatile but responsive. 4️⃣ How to Use Consumer Sentiment Treat sentiment like a range or zone: - High sentiment = potential market tops (overconfidence) - Low sentiment = potential bottoms (fear and contraction) Look for divergences: - When sentiment is improving but markets are falling 👉 could signal a reversal - When sentiment is declining while markets are rising 👉 could suggest caution 🧠 Think in probabilities, not possibilities. Just because sentiment is high doesn’t guarantee a rally but it does increase the odds, especially when combined with other data. 5️⃣ Example Ratios: XLY vs XLP To break down consumer sentiment further, traders sometimes compare two: XLY (Consumer Discretionary): Companies people spend money on when they feel confident (e.g. Amazon, Tesla) XLP (Consumer Staples): Essential goods people buy regardless of economy (e.g. Walmart, Procter & Gamble) If XLY/XLP is rising: consumer confidence is likely improving If XLY/XLP is falling: sentiment is likely weakening This ratio helps gauge spending behavior and risk appetite in a more visual, trackable way. 6️⃣ Limitations of Consumer Sentiment ⚠️ Not always aligned with price action in short-term ⚠️ Lagging data depending on source ⚠️ Can be influenced by temporary events (e.g. political shifts, news headlines) ⚠️ Doesn’t work well alone should be used with technical and fundamental analysis 7️⃣ Final Thoughts Consumer sentiment is one of the most powerful but often overlooked indicators. It doesn’t tell you exactly what will happen, but it gives important context: ✅ Where we are in the economic cycle ✅ How confident people are in spending ✅ When the market may be out of sync with the real world Use sentiment tools to build a higher-probability picture of what’s next. Combine them with price action, macro analysis, and volume-based tools for a more complete view.

XAUUSD Weekend ForecastingKey Concepts on the Chart Market Sessions Highlighted (Tokyo): • Grey boxes represent the Tokyo trading session, a time often used to identify liquidity and manipulation zones. • These zones are often swept during the London or New York sessions. Structure Points with Red Dots: • These indicate significant swing highs and lows, used to define market structure and changes in trend. BOS (Break of Structure): • Marked around the middle of the chart. • Indicates that price broke below a previous low, shifting from bullish to bearish structure. MSS (Market Structure Shift): • Located before the BOS. • Signifies an early warning that the bullish structure was weakening. Liquidity Zones ($$$$): • These areas mark liquidity pools, where many stop-losses or pending orders are likely resting. • The market often targets these zones before reversing. 6. Price Action Forecast (Right side of the chart): • Current price is at a liquidity sweep low (~3309.980). • Forecast shows a potential bullish reversal from this liquidity grab zone. • Price is projected to rally back into the gray supply zone (~3340–3345) for a possible mitigation. • Then, it may retrace before pushing higher to take out the “Asia High” (~3375). Bullish Bias Justification • Liquidity Grab at the recent low could fuel a reversal. • Previous supply zones may act as mitigation points for a retracement. • Targeting the Asian session high fits a typical smart money play: grab liquidity below, then reverse and run buy-side liquidity. Overall Interpretation • The analyst expects a bullish move after the liquidity sweep at the lows. • A classic smart money reversal setup is forming: BOS → retracement → liquidity sweep → reversal targeting equal highs/liquidity above.

Litecoin —It's All In Your Mind, Time To DecideTruly the longest consolidation phase has been experienced, since June 2022 until June 2025. This consolidation produced a broad channel for Litecoin but, make no mistake, this is a trading range. The difference between a rising channel where consolidation is happening and a very strong bull market is the slope of the rise. The bull market price action produces a much stronger rise, as shown by the bars pattern. The action becomes more erratic to the upside rather than stable and sideways. The market becomes euphoric because people cannot handle all the money they hold. Your account balance grows and grows and grows, so much that you lose all control. So much that you forget it, so much that you don't take action and then everything is gone. It is incredible but still, many people do take advantage and those are mainly the ones with experience. The first time we get it wrong. That's ok, we've all been there, nobody to blame rookie mistake. The second time we do better but we still feel we could have done even better. If only we had more organization, more time to prepare; more experience... The third time... This is the third time. Thousands of millionaires are created in each bull market, tends of thousands, are you going to be one of those? There is no competition. For you to make money nobody else has to lose money it doesn't work that way. It is different; the market gives, the market takes. If you are ready to accept a lot the market will give you a lot. If you are here to lose money the market will take everything away. It is not about the whales, the bots or the exchange... It is all about you, it is all in your mind. Some people join the last few days and make millions by buying big and selling right away, over and over. Some people lose millions by going LONG going SHORT when the market is neither going down or up. Some people are playing games. You just need to decide, consciously and unconsciously what is your true goal. If you want financial independence, financial abundance, financial freedom, just make your choice. Say it, write it, see it, feel it... Believe it, and everything you want will be yours. There is no limit other than your own mind. The market will give you whatever you are ready to accept. If you work for 10 millions dollars, that's exactly what you will get. But, if you work for 100 millions, hundreds you will get. There is no limit. It is all in your mind. Namaste.

Gold May Undergo Short-Term Correction Near Resistance Levels📊 Market Overview: As of June 6, 2025, gold prices have surged, trading around $3,373 per ounce, up $26.63 from the previous session . This increase is driven by weaker-than-expected U.S. job data, with initial jobless claims rising to 247,000, surpassing the forecast of 236,000 . This has heightened expectations that the Federal Reserve may consider cutting interest rates in the near future. 📉 Technical Analysis: • Key Resistance Levels: $3,390 – $3,430 • Nearest Support Levels: $3,340 – $3,300 • EMA: Gold prices are currently above the 09 EMA, indicating a sustained upward trend. • Candlestick Patterns / Volume / Momentum: The RSI on the 4-hour chart is at 58.27, suggesting that while bullish momentum persists, the market is approaching overbought territory . 📌 Outlook: Gold may experience a short-term correction if U.S. employment data is strong, reducing expectations for Fed rate cuts. However, the long-term uptrend remains supported by safe-haven demand and central bank purchases. 💡 Suggested Trading Strategy: SELL XAU/USD at: $3,430 o 🎯 TP: $3,400 o ❌ SL: $3,440 BUY XAU/USD at: $3,330 o 🎯 TP: $3,360 o ❌ SL: $3,220

Short Signal – BTC Structural UpdateZemoG Trading Group Short Signal – BTC Structural Update Bitcoin (BTC) reached the left shoulder wick at 105.8k, a key structural point we’ve been watching closely. This price action signals the market is preparing for its next decisive move — likely to complete the right shoulder of a developing head-and-shoulders pattern, a classic reversal structure rooted in market psychology. As always with the ZemoG Strategy, we approach price from a structural and cyclical perspective, not just candlestick behavior. With BTC completing this setup, it further validates short momentum as we begin targeting lower levels. With volume exiting the market, we’re now initiating a short bias, positioning for the next high-probability move. 🟥 Short Entry Trigger: • A confirmed close below 105.8k on the 555-minute timeframe with structure continuation. 🎯 Short Targets: • 104.6k – First liquidity pocket • 104.2k – Support mirror from previous micro high • 103.4k – Internal structure base • 103.2k – Full shoulder completion zone • 102k – Volume void level • 101.4k – Deep liquidity sweep • 100.3k – Main target and completion of right shoulder 🔒 Stop Loss: • 106k – Just above structural invalidation; protects us from head-fake moves and liquidity traps. We don’t chase price — we position ourselves for high-probability trades rooted in measurable structures, harmonic symmetry, and mirrored movements in time. This unfolding move could be part of a larger cyclical rotation within BTC’s macro structure, which we’ve been tracking since the ATH at 111.97k. If the right shoulder completes and breaks down further, we may see momentum shift toward deeper retracement levels, opening the door to future setups with elevated reward potential. Stay patient, focused, and aligned with the rhythm of the market. ZemoG Trading Group – Sacred Structure. Timeless Precision.
