Gold deeper consolidation supported at 3266The Gold remains in a bullish trend, with recent price action showing signs of a continuation breakout within the broader uptrend.
Support Zone: 3266 – a key level from previous consolidation. Price is currently testing or approaching this level.
A bullish rebound from 3266 would confirm ongoing upside momentum, with potential targets at:
3335 – initial resistance
3351 – psychological and structural level
3366 – extended resistance on the longer-term chart
Bearish Scenario:
A confirmed break and daily close below 3308 would weaken the bullish outlook and suggest deeper downside risk toward:
3250 – minor support
3230 – stronger support and potential demand zone
Outlook:
Bullish bias remains intact while the Gold holds above 3266. A sustained break below this level could shift momentum to the downside in the short term.

S&P500’s Bullish Island Turns Risky: Elliott Wave Says “Top”The S&P500 Index( SP:SPX ) started to rise and even created a new All-Time High(ATH=$6,428) with the help of the Bullish Long Island Pattern , as I published in my previous idea on May 14, 2025 .
The S&P500 Index is currently moving near the Potential Reversal Zone(PRZ) , upper line of the ascending channel , the Important Resistance line , and the Yearly Resistance(1) .
In terms of Elliott Wave theory , the S&P500 Index appears to be completing microwave 5 of microwave 5 of the main wave 5 .
Also, we can see the Regular Divergence(RD-) between Consecutive Peaks .
I expect the S&P500 Index to correct at least -4% and fall to the lower line of the ascending channel .
First Target: $6,233
Second Target: $6,033
Note: Stop Loss(SL) $6,513
Do you think S&P500 Index can create a new ATH above $6,500 !?

XAUUSD Live Trade with 11,641 USD ProfitsI managed to ride the momentum last night on XAUUSD and made over 11,641 usd profit on a live trading account. Gold usually create a range. It will create a top and a bottom then it will spend most of its time inside that range. That is pretty much how XAUUSD moves. If you can identify the top and the bottom then you can short it from the top and do a long trade on the bottom. The price will just travel from bottom to top and top to bottom. You can scalp your way to profits on this move if you can time it properly. Once in a while, a break from the top or the bottom happens. This is where you switch from trading the range to trading breakouts.
When you trade breakouts, you must trade it with the knowledge that less than 15 percent of breakouts are successful. Failed breakouts are very common. You need to have some form of stoploss below your breakout levels. You will know that the breakout fails once your stoploss is hit. If the breakout is successful then ride it. Do not put some TP (target price or take profit price) rather just trail your profits. Move your stops a few pips behind the price. Just enough distance to let the price breathe. If the price reverses then it will hit your stops. If the breakout is strong then you will ride it for a while until it reverses.
It will form another top and bottom again and move inside that range. Switch your approach again in trading long trades near the bottom and short trades near the top.
Just remember to always have some stoploss on every trade and never try to predict what the market will do or how the price will move. Let the market do its thing and just react to its movements.
Goodluck on your trades.
ETH/USD – Short from ResistanceHi traders ! , I opened a short position on ETH/USD as price is hitting a strong resistance zone.
Entry: 3850
SL: 4084.46
TP: 3638.94
📌 Why I took this trade:
Price is testing a strong resistance zone around 3860, RSI is overbought, and we could see a pullback toward the support area around 3640.
Nice risk/reward setup, keeping it simple.
This is just my analysis, not financial advice.
What’s your view — drop or breakout?
VIX: From “Calm Tension” to a ReboundWhy does a small uptick matter today… if we’ve already seen 60+ readings four times in the past 17 years?
The first week of August 2025 brought back a familiar market force: volatility.
The VIX, which tracks expected fluctuations in the S&P 500, jumped 21% in just a few days, rising from 17.4 to 20.37, with an intraday high of 21.9 on August 1.
At first glance, the move may seem minor. But it broke through key long-term moving averages (SMA 50 and 200) and exited its recent comfort zone (14–19 pts). That alone is enough to make portfolio managers and traders pay attention again.
🔙 Historical context: when the VIX truly spiked
📅 Date 🔺 VIX intraday 🧨 Trigger
Oct 1, 2008 96.40 Subprime mortgage crisis, Lehman collapse, AIG bailout
Mar 2, 2020 85.47 COVID-19 global spread, border shutdowns
Aug 5, 2024 65.73 Surprise Fed rate hike + overheated jobs data
Apr 7, 2025 60.13 Panic over new U.S. tariffs on global partners
Compared to those moments, today's VIX levels look “mild.” But the technical and macroeconomic signals suggest that volatility may be establishing a new baseline.
1. 📊 Breakdown: First week of August 2025
Weekly increase: from 17.4 → 20.37 (+21%).
Technical breakout: monthly close above both the 50-day and 200-day simple moving averages (SMA 19.25 and 19.45).
MACD on the monthly chart has flipped positive for the first time since March 2023.
Key drivers:
🏛️ The Fed left interest rates unchanged on July 30, but two dissenting votes favored a rate cut.
👷♂️ Softening jobs data: July NFP came in at only +73,000 jobs (vs. +110,000 expected).
🧾 New U.S. tariffs, announced on August 1, reignited inflation concerns.
2. ⚖️ Comparing August 2025 to the August 2024 storm
Factor August 2024 August 2025 (Week 1)
🔺 VIX peak 65.73 21.9
🏛️ Fed stance Surprise 25 bp rate hike Rates unchanged, internal division
👷 Labor market Hot, wage pressures Cooling down
📉 S&P 500 reaction −12% in 3 weeks Approx. −3% decline underway
💧 Market liquidity Very low (pre-market) Normal
Conclusion:
2024 was a systemic shock.
2025 is more of a volatility warning sign—but one that matters for risk management.
3. 📍 Technical signals to monitor
The monthly MACD just turned positive, which historically precedes sustained volatility spikes.
Key short-term range: 18–22 pts. A sustained close above 22 could trigger heavy selling in high-beta stocks.
Options expiration (OPEX, Aug 16) may amplify moves via gamma flows.
4. 🔮 What could move the VIX next?
📅 Date 📌 Event ⚠️ Volatility Risk
Aug 14 Core CPI (July) Reading above 0.3% m/m could reignite hawkish Fed bets
Aug 22–23 Jackson Hole Symposium Powell’s speech could reset the policy outlook
End of Aug Q2 GDP revision Confirm whether slowdown = soft landing or stagflation
📌 Note: The VIX cannot be traded directly. Exposure is typically obtained through futures, options, or ETNs—each with specific risks like contango, low liquidity, and roll decay.
📌 Final thoughts
The VIX doesn’t need to hit 60 to send a message.
The fact that it’s breaking above long-term averages, reacting sharply to macro data, and threatening key levels is enough to suggest that the era of ultra-low volatility may be ending.
History shows us that major VIX spikes come fast and unannounced.
If you remember 2008, 2020, or even April 2025—you know that preparation beats prediction.
XAUUSD TRADE UPDATE MISSED TRADE Hey everyone here’s a trade recap of the week at first we were interested to take buys at 3254 zone as first entry and scale in at 3287 zone but price pulled down slightly missed the first entry and I didn’t execute & the second entry didn’t execute that too and market skyrocket if price activated the first entry we would’ve caught a huge trade today,the first one didn’t activated so I didn’t execute the second entry which is the 3287 zone that buyers came in so we move on and I will keep on sharing potential good setups and have a beautiful weekend guys….
GBP/JPY Clears July LowGBP/JPY clears the July low (195.37) as it tumbles to a fresh weekly low (195.34), and a close below the 195.70 (61.8% Fibonacci extension) to 196.60 (23.6% Fibonacci extension) region may push the exchange rate toward the June low (192.73).
Failure to hold above the 192.40 (50% Fibonacci extension) to 193.50 (38.2% Fibonacci extension) zone may lead to a test of the May low (190.33), but the selloff in GBP/JPY may turn out to be temporary if it defends the rebound from the June low (192.73).
GBP/JPY may attempt to retrace the decline from the July high (199.98) should it hold/close above the 195.70 (61.8% Fibonacci extension) to 196.60 (23.6% Fibonacci extension) region, with a close above the 199.80 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement) to 200.50 (78.6% Fibonacci extension) region opening up 201.20 (23.6% Fibonacci retracement).

Zones for the rest of August (if no ATH)Just simple zones, ignore. I want to compare to the end of the month later.
Keep trading simple. These are the zones I made after drawing from 4H all the way to 5 minute candle for precision. I already have my own speculation but feel free to use it for your own.
Goodbye, trade safe.
#QQQ Weekly Chart – Technical Breakdown As of August 1, 2025QQQ Weekly Chart – Technical Breakdown
🧠 Key Observations
Bearish Weekly Rejection
A red candle at the recent high ($574.63) suggests buyers are taking profits.
Short-term reversal likely in play.
First Reaction Zone:
0.236 Fib at $533.87 is the first potential bounce zone.
Aligned with:
Fair Value Gap (FVG)
Upper range of the Weekly Order Block (OB)
Deeper Demand Zone:
If $533 fails, the Weekly Order Block becomes critical.
That zone stretches down toward $520–$508 (Fib 0.382).
Strong historical reaction area — may attract long setups if macro aligns.
RSI Divergence Risk:
RSI shows some signs of flattening.
Still above 59, so momentum is intact — but weakening.
📉 Pullback Path (Base Scenario):
Potential move to $533 → $520, consolidating inside the order block
From there, bullish continuation back toward $575+
Invalidated below $500, where structure breaks
📈 Mid-Term Bullish Bias Intact
Strong uptrend, higher lows still in place
Any dip into the OB + FVG zone = buy-the-dip opportunity.

Hello.
This is SeoVereign.
My fundamental view on Bitcoin, as mentioned in the previous idea, is that I am anticipating an overall downward trend. In the mid- to long-term, I believe the downward pressure will gradually increase, and this is partially confirmed by various indicators and the overall market sentiment.
However, before we fully enter this downward phase, I have been judging that one more upward wave is likely to remain. I have focused my strategy on capturing this upward segment, and I have recently reached a point where I can specifically predict the development of that particular wave.
If this upward move unfolds successfully, I plan to set my take-profit range conservatively. The reason is simple: I still believe there is a high possibility that the market will shift back into a downtrend afterward. The core of this strategy is to minimize risk while realizing profits as efficiently as possible toward the tail end of the wave.
The relevant pattern and structure have been marked in detail on the chart, so please refer to it for a clearer understanding.
In summary, I view this rise as a limited rebound that could represent the last opportunity before a downturn, and I believe this idea marks the beginning of that move.
I will continue to monitor the movement and update this idea with additional evidence. Thank you.
Gold Slips After Powell Speech Below 3320 Bearish Pressure BuildGOLD Overview
Market Context:
Gold declined from the 3333 level, as anticipated in yesterday’s analysis, ahead of Fed Chair Powell’s speech. Powell reiterated that it is still too early for rate cuts, citing persistently high inflation, which supported the U.S. dollar and pressured gold.
Technical Outlook:
As long as gold trades below the 3320–3310 zone, the bearish momentum is expected to continue, with the next target at 3285. A confirmed break and stability below 3285 could open the way toward 3255.
To regain bullish traction, the price must stabilize above 3320.
Support Levels: 3285 • 3255
Resistance Levels: 3333 • 3349
