#XAUUSD UP TREND Thanks for sharing the updated chart.
Here’s a breakdown of what’s going on now:
### **Current Context (Gold Spot/USD - 1H)**:
- **Price**: $3,327.38 (down 0.47%).
- **Trend Channel**: Still in play, though the price briefly broke below the lower boundary and quickly re-entered — a potential **fakeout**.
- **Corrective Structure**: The “(W)-(X)” label suggests an **Elliott Wave corrective pattern** (likely a W-X-Y correction). The price may still be in the “X” leg moving upward before completing “Y.”
- **Key Levels**:
- **Support**: Around $3,302 (same as the previous chart’s stop-loss).
- **Resistance/Target**: $3,380 — matching the top of the previous breakout attempt.
### **Trade Setup**:
- A long position is being considered with a bounce off the lower trendline.
- Entry around $3,327–$3,331 with target near $3,380.
- Stop-loss again around $3,303 — maintaining tight risk management.
### **Interpretation**:
- The market may have completed a short-term correction and is possibly forming a higher low (if “W” holds).
- A break above point “X” would confirm bullish continuation to $3,380 or higher.
- If price breaks below “W” ($3,302), the bullish structure might fail, and deeper retracement becomes likely.
Do you want to explore a possible short scenario if the lower boundary breaks again, or are you planning to ride the bullish continuation? NASDAQ:NVDA OANDA:XAUUSD OANDA:XAUUSD
CADJPY is perhaps the best sell signal long-term.The CADJPY pair has broken marginally below its 1W MA200 (orange trend-line) in recent weeks and turned sideways. This took place on the latest 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) rejection on January 13 2025. As long as the market remains below it, the long-term trend-line will be bearish.
The current 1W MA200 consolidation is in fact similar to what followed after the last major long-term rejection in December 2014. As you can see on the chart, we are on similar trading patterns as August - September 2015. Even the 1W RSI sequences among the two fractals are identical, starting off strong Bearish Divergencies that basically were an early signal for the 2015 - 2016 sell-off and possibly now the 2025 - 2026 sell-off.
As a result, we are bearish on this pair, expecting a 85.000 Target on high probabilities and a 2nd at 75.000 on lower, which is the 14-year Support Zone.
