USOIL WTIWest Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil is a major benchmark for crude oil pricing, known for its high quality—being both light and sweet due to its low sulfur content and low density. WTI is sourced primarily from inland Texas and is the underlying commodity for oil futures traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX). The main physical delivery point is Cushing, Oklahoma, a critical U.S. oil storage and trading hub.
Current Price (as of August 1, 2025)
WTI crude oil is trading around $69.15–$69.36 per barrel.
Recently, WTI prices have seen volatility due to global economic factors, including U.S. tariffs, OPEC+ production, and shifts in oil demand. Despite a small decline on the day, oil prices have posted their strongest weekly performance since June, rising over 6% for the week.
Market and Outlook
Recent price movement reflects concerns about global trade tensions, new tariffs, and their impact on economic growth and energy demand. At the same time, supply risks remain due to geopolitical factors such as potential sanctions on Russian oil and U.S.-China trade developments.
Analyst forecasts for the remainder of 2025 suggest continued volatility, with WTI potentially ranging between $56 and $73 per barrel, influenced by demand, OPEC+ decisions, and geopolitical events.

Bounce From Final Liquidity or Start of a Bullish Move? Bounce From Final Liquidity or Start of a Bullish Move?
After the FOMC event, gold completed a sweep of the final liquidity zone at 3269–3271 and rebounded strongly, in line with the broader bullish trend. The price has now recovered sharply and is gradually returning to the liquidity zones left behind after yesterday’s sharp drop.
📍 At the moment, gold is reacting around 3295, which aligns with a CP (Compression Point) Zone on the M30 chart. We're seeing a slight pullback here, and another retracement could occur before a strong upward continuation — potentially breaking out of the descending trendline that’s formed over recent days.
📊 Trading Plan & Key Levels
✅ BUY ZONE – Trend Continuation Setup
Entry: 3286–3284
Stop Loss: 3278
Take Profits:
3290 → 3294 → 3298 → 3304 → 3308 → 3312 → 3316 → 3320 → 3330 → …
💡 This is a prime area to look for re-entries into the dominant bullish move. Price action left a clean liquidity zone below after the aggressive upside reaction — ideal for riding the next wave.
❌ SELL ZONE – Only Valid Below VPOC
Entry: 3328–3330 (Volume Point of Control)
Stop Loss: 3335
Take Profits:
3324 → 3320 → 3315 → 3310 → 3305 → 3300
🔻 This is a high-probability short only if price stays below 3330. If gold closes above this VPOC region, the structure shifts to bullish and we should look for sells higher up — around 335x–337x zones.
📅 Monthly Candle Close – Watch for Indecision
As it’s the last trading day of the month, note that the past two monthly candles have printed doji-like wicks, signalling indecision and liquidity grabs. The market is still waiting for a clearer signal from the Fed on the first potential rate cut of the year.
🚫 Avoid emotional trading. This is a highly reactive environment, so careful risk management is key.
🧭 Final Thoughts
Gold continues to respect market structure and liquidity theory. The first major test lies at the 3313 resistance level — if broken, it opens the door to stronger bullish momentum toward the broader VPOC zone.
⏳ Be patient and only act when price confirms your bias.
Crude Oil Price Action & Pattern Analysis
Bearish Wedge Breakdown:
The price was consolidating in a descending triangle / wedge pattern.
It has now broken below the wedge, suggesting potential bearish continuation.
Key Support Zones:
Immediate support near 68.60 - 68.80 (highlighted in blue).
FOREXCOM:USOIL
The break of the 68.60 level with a strong bearish candle would serve as confirmation of a Head and Shoulders (H&S) pattern , with solid bearish implications.
Stronger support around 66.20 - 66.50 , which is a previous demand zone.
Resistance Zone:
The red zone around 69.40 - 69.50 represents a rejection area , and the price failed to break above it.
I maintain my #3,277.80 and #3,252.80 TargetsI didn't engaged any re-Sell orders throughout yesterday's session and re-Sold Gold on #3,295.80 ahead of Asian session, with plan to keep orders over-night. However due NFP, Gold might be stationary / ranging until the news as I closed both of my orders on #3,291.80 / each #9.000 Eur Profit and my #3,300.80 pending Sell limit has been triggered over-night which is now running in Profits with Stop on breakeven. I do expect #3,277.80 and #3,252.80 Targets to be met within #1 - #3 sessions and if there aren't NFP numbers, I would keep all three orders / set of Selling orders maintaining my first #3,277.80 Target. Due the news, Gold might fluctuate within Neutral Rectangle until the news.
Technical analysis: My earlier Selling configuration / Technical expectations was confirmed on Hourly 4 chart under prolonged weakness and Price-action respecting the trend-line guarding the downtrend (very Bearish formation) as Hourly 1 chart is already an aggressive Descending Channel (width opened on Williams) that should reach it’s next local Low’s (currently Trading slightly below Double Bottom) and Oversold state near my take Profit of #3,252.80 benchmark. If the bands are widened Traders may witness #3,277.80 test, also if gets invalidated and #3,270.80 gives away, #3,252.80 mark extension test is inevitable. In any case I will update my Targets or levels of Profit taking if I decide to exit earlier than #3,252.80 benchmark to be in accordance with the Daily chart’s period / I already ride Selling wave since #,3,300's and my Profit will be already good to ignore.
My position: DX is soaring, Gold is under Bearish Technical developments and #3,252.80 benchmark is my final Target of current Selling leg. Only factor which can reverse this Intra-day but not postpone is NFP. I expect downside Jobs surprise which may reverse DX from local High's however hot upside surprise will make Gold test #3,252.80 Intra-day. NFP or not I do believe Gold is Bearish. Trade accordingly.

But there is also a powerful signal from the BB upper band being nearby, indicating that the pair is overbought so we can go short from the resistance line above and a target at 168.581 level.

Please, note that an oversold/overbought condition can last for a long time, and therefore being oversold/overbought doesn't mean a price rally will come soon, or at all.

SPKUSDT Forming Bullish ReversalSPKUSDT is currently showing signs of a strong bullish reversal pattern, positioning itself as one of the most technically attractive altcoins on the radar. After an extended downtrend, the price has found solid support at a key demand zone, which has historically acted as a base for significant rallies. The latest price action has formed a clear reversal structure, signaling a potential shift in momentum from sellers to buyers. This early signal of trend reversal is supported by increasing volume, indicating strong accumulation at lower levels.
This setup is gaining traction among traders and crypto investors who are beginning to take interest in SPK due to its attractive risk-to-reward ratio and potential for explosive gains. The expected move targets a 140% to 150% upside, which aligns with previous recovery waves observed in similar patterns. Technical indicators such as the RSI and MACD may also begin to align in favor of bulls, further supporting the thesis for a major trend reversal. This gives traders the confidence to anticipate a breakout rally in the coming weeks.
The fundamentals behind SPKUSDT are also gaining visibility, as the project's roadmap and utility continue to attract community attention. In the current market cycle, low-cap and mid-cap assets that show early reversal signs often outperform during recovery phases. With growing investor interest and a chart that supports a major move, SPKUSDT is a pair that deserves close monitoring. The breakout confirmation above recent resistance levels could act as a strong signal for the next upward leg.
This is a prime opportunity for swing and mid-term traders to take advantage of a potentially explosive move. With volume building and sentiment improving, SPKUSDT could be setting up for a rally that outpaces many other altcoins in the same category.

RUNE at the Brink: Rebound Opportunity or Breakdown Incoming?🧩 Overview:
RUNE/USDT is currently hovering at a critical support zone — a historical demand area that has triggered strong bullish rallies in the past. Positioned between $1.00–$1.30, this level has been a battle ground between buyers and sellers. The big question now: Will RUNE bounce for a bullish reversal or break down into deeper lows?
---
🔍 Key Levels Identified:
Major Support Zone (Demand Area): $1.00 – $1.30 (yellow box)
Immediate Resistance: $1.95 → $3.11 → $4.92
Extended Bullish Targets: $6.87 → $9.09 → $11.48 → $15.02
Deeper Bearish Targets (if support fails): $0.80 → $0.55 → $0.32
---
🟢 Bullish Scenario (Recovery Rally):
📌 Key Signal: Strong hold and price reaction above the $1.00–$1.30 zone.
1. Reversal Patterns: Look for double bottom, bullish engulfing, or strong weekly pin bars to signal a potential reversal.
2. Momentum Confirmation: A breakout above $1.95 with high volume could trigger a strong continuation to $3.11 and $4.92.
3. Macro Tailwinds: A broader recovery in Bitcoin and the crypto market could enhance bullish pressure on altcoins like RUNE.
🎯 Mid to Long-Term Bullish Targets:
$3.11 → $4.92 → $6.87+
Potential upside of 200–400%+ from current levels if bullish structure confirms.
---
🔴 Bearish Scenario (Breakdown):
📌 Critical Risk: Weekly candle close below $1.00 with volume confirmation.
1. Support Breakdown: If $1.00 fails, price may revisit previous lows around $0.80 or even test historical demand levels at $0.32.
2. Bearish Continuation Pattern: Sustained lower highs and lower lows suggest downtrend continuation unless invalidated.
3. Volume Pressure: Heavy sell volume on breakdowns reinforces bearish bias.
⚠️ Bearish Targets: $0.80 → $0.55 → $0.322 (historical low)
---
🔄 Pattern & Structure:
Historical Accumulation Zone: The yellow box has been a long-term accumulation area since 2021.
Repeat Behavior: Previous touches to this zone sparked multi-week rallies.
Potential Wyckoff Accumulation: If price forms a sideways range with rising lows, this may be the early stage of a markup phase.
---
🧠 Strategic Outlook for Traders:
✅ Bullish Strategy:
Conservative entry: Wait for breakout + retest of $1.95
Aggressive entry: Accumulate within $1.00–$1.30 zone with tight stop below $0.98
❌ Bearish Strategy:
Short setup on confirmed breakdown below $0.98
Avoid trading without confirmation of direction (no FOMO)
---
🚀 Conclusion:
RUNE is standing at a make-or-break level — a tipping point between a bullish breakout or further bearish pressure. Smart traders don't just predict direction; they prepare for both outcomes. This is not just a technical zone — it's the market’s decision point.

U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) Technical Analysis – 4-Hour TimeframeU.S. Dollar Index (DXY) Technical Analysis – 4-Hour Timeframe
Following yesterday’s economic data from the United States, which included stronger-than-expected GDP growth and consumer confidence figures, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has continued its upward trend with strength. These developments have reinforced expectations for continued monetary tightening—or at least keeping interest rates elevated—which in turn has boosted demand for the dollar.
On the 4-hour chart, after a strong bullish rally, the dollar index has now reached a key resistance zone that previously acted as a major barrier.
Bullish Scenario:
If the current resistance zone is decisively broken and price stabilizes above it, the bullish momentum could extend further toward higher technical levels. This scenario would gain additional strength if upcoming economic data continues to support the dollar.
Bearish Scenario:
However, if the price fails to break through the resistance and signs of buyer weakness begin to emerge, a corrective pullback toward previous support levels may occur. This scenario could be further intensified if weaker economic data is released or if the Federal Reserve signals a more dovish stance.
At the moment, traders are advised to closely monitor the price reaction to the current zone and wait for confirmation before committing to the next move.
