Mid-Session Market InsightsMid-Session Market Insights In today's session, I'm closely monitoring eight different futures markets: S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, Russell 2000, Gold, Crude Oil, Euro Dollar, Yen Dollar, and Aussie Dollar. S&P 500: We're seeing a rotational pattern within the prior day's value area and the CVA. I'm eyeing long opportunities from the prior value area low up to the high. NASDAQ 100: The market is a bit choppy around the PVA and CVA highs, with a slight upward intraday trend. I'm staying cautious here. Russell 2000: Also choppy, but we've got acceptance within the CVA. I'm looking for long opportunities from the CVA low, which aligns with the prior day's low. Euro Dollar: I'm currently short from the CVA high, with the first target at the prior day's low. We've broken below the prior value area, so I'll trail this trade and see how it develops. Yen Dollar: It’s been a bit of a mixed bag. I took a short below the CVA and prior day's low, got stopped out, but it was still a decent setup. Aussie Dollar: I took some long positions that weren't the best setups, as it was quite choppy near the CVA high and prior day's low. Lesson learned for next time. Crude Oil: I took a short from the CVA and PVA highs, hit my target at the low of those areas, and we’re currently hovering around that level.

Gold (XAU/USD) Technical Analysis : Structural Analysis + TargetGold is currently trading near $3,292 on the 30-minute timeframe, showing classic signs of accumulation and compression within a well-respected descending channel. The current price action is approaching a critical decision zone, and the market is offering potential clues for both short-term and swing traders. 🔎 Detailed Breakdown of Chart Elements: 🔷 1. Descending Channel & Dynamic Support Gold has been moving inside a falling channel, with price repeatedly reacting to both the upper and lower boundaries. The lower boundary of the channel, currently acting as support, has been tested multiple times, suggesting a strong buying interest at this level. This channel also aligns with the broader downtrend structure, giving sellers confidence while also creating interest for counter-trend buyers looking for reversal setups. 📐 2. Trendline Pressure and Compression A downward sloping trendline, drawn from the recent swing highs, continues to apply bearish pressure. Price is squeezing between the channel support and this descending trendline — a tight range compression, which often precedes a volatile breakout. The analysis notes: “We have to wait for a trendline breakout” – this is a crucial technical signal that will determine the next move. 🚧 3. Break of Structure (BOS) Zones Two potential bullish BOS (Break of Structure) levels have been identified: Minor BOS (~$3,300): A break above this level may signal short-term bullish intent and invalidate minor lower highs. Early confirmation for buyers to enter with tight risk management. Major BOS (~$3,310): This is the key swing high which, if broken, would invalidate the current bearish structure and flip market sentiment bullish. A strong bullish candle closing above this level could signal the start of a larger upward leg. 📍 4. Next Reversal Zone (Supply Area: $3,320 – $3,330) This zone represents a strong supply area where previous price action saw heavy selling. If bulls manage to clear the BOS zones, this area becomes the next target/resistance. Price reaching this level could lead to a pullback, making it an ideal area for partial take-profits or reassessment of continuation trades. 📈 5. Scenario Planning & Strategy ✅ Bullish Bias (If Breakout Occurs): Wait for a confirmed breakout above the trendline and Minor BOS with volume. Ideal long entry would be on the retest of the trendline (now acting as support). First target: Major BOS, then extend to the Reversal Zone. Stop-loss can be placed below the channel support or latest swing low. 🚫 Bearish Continuation (If No Breakout): If price fails to break above the trendline and continues to reject at resistance, sellers may look to short the retest of the trendline. Targets can be set at the channel's lower boundary or previous lows. Confirmation: Bearish engulfing patterns, rejection wicks, or divergence. 🧠 Technical Summary & Outlook Gold is currently in a neutral to slightly bullish consolidation, showing early signs of demand at the bottom of the channel. The market is in "wait-and-watch" mode — traders should focus on the trendline breakout, which will serve as the trigger for directional bias. The structure is clean, zones are well defined, and potential is high for both scalping and intraday setups. Traders are advised to stay patient and follow price action confirmation before entering trades. 📌 Key Levels to Watch: Support Zone: $3,280 – $3,285 (Channel Base) Trendline Resistance: ~$3,294–$3,296 Minor BOS: ~$3,300 Major BOS: ~$3,310 Reversal Zone (Supply): $3,320 – $3,330

Gold Short Term OutlookYesterday, we highlighted that gold had reclaimed the 200MA and that the $3,327 support level needed to hold for further upside. Since then, price has steadily climbed and is now testing the $3,364 resistance — a level that also aligns with an unfilled gap. Price action remains bullish for now, with price holding firmly above both the 50MA and 200MA. If buyers manage to clear and hold above $3,364, we could see further upside toward $3,383 and $3,400, with possible extension into $3,418. However, if price fails to break above $3,364, we may see a pullback into the $3,335–$3,327 zone. A break below there could open the door for a deeper drop into $3,298 or even $3,270. 📌 Key Levels to Watch: Resistance: $3,364 • $3,383 • $3,400 • $3,418 Support: $3,352 •$3,335 - $3,327 • $3,298 • $3,270 🧠 Fundamental Focus: 📌 ADP Non-Farm Employment Change 📌 Initial Jobless Claims 📌 ISM Services PMI 📌 ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI ⚠️ With multiple red folder events on the calendar, expect elevated intraday volatility. Manage risk accordingly.

Gold Short Term OutlookGold dipped into the Support Zone but failed to sustain the breakdown below it. After briefly breaking below the zone, price has rebounded and is now attempting a short-term recovery. However, structure remains bearish, with price trading below both the 50MA and 200MA, signalling continued downside pressure unless momentum shifts. For bullish momentum to continue, we need to see a clean break and hold above $3,330, which may open the path toward $3,346, then $3,361. If the move up doesn’t hold, the next reaction is expected near key support. 🔑 Key Levels: Resistance: $3,330 • $3,346 • $3,361 • $3,375 Support: $3,306 • $3,287 • $3,271 • $3,242 📌 Stay patient and wait for confirmation before committing to a direction.

Gold Short Term OutlookGold is currently trading around $3,368, caught between dynamic moving average resistance and an intraday resistance zone. Price must break and hold above the $3,378 resistance to open the path toward $3,395. A confirmed break above the key $3,395 level could signal the start of the next bullish leg. However, repeated failure to break above $3,395 — or even $3,378 — may drag gold lower into key support zones. 📌 Key Levels to Watch: Resistance: $3,375 • $3,395 • $3,418 • $3,439 Support: $3,361 • $3,346 • $3,330 / $3,306 $3,287 – Critical demand zone 🧠 Fundamental Insight: Gold remains supported amid rising geopolitical tensions. Over the weekend, U.S. airstrikes targeted Iranian nuclear sites, escalating concerns over a broader conflict in the Middle East. This has reignited safe-haven demand, with gold catching a bid despite recent technical pullbacks. Meanwhile, traders are weighing softer U.S. inflation signals against the Fed’s cautious stance. If tensions persist and economic data weakens, gold could benefit from both risk-off flows and increased speculation around potential rate cuts.

Gold Medium Term OutlookGold is currently trending within a rising channel after rejecting the $3,439 resistance zone, which marked a new Higher High (HH). Price is respecting the ascending channel support and is now testing the 50MA. The uptrend remains intact, with a sequence of Higher Lows (HL) and Higher Highs (HH) forming within the channel. A break and hold above $3,378 could open the path for a re-test of $3,439 and potentially $3,501. However, failure to hold the rising channel support may shift momentum bearish, with $3,303 and $3,226 as the next major downside targets. 📌 Key Levels to Watch This Week: Resistance: $3,378 • $3,439 • $3,501 Support: $3,303 • $3,226 • $3,171 🧠 Fundamental Insight: Gold remains supported amid rising geopolitical tensions.
