BTCUSDT: Pullback To 93K Support Before Return of Bullish Trend
Hello everyone, here is my breakdown of the current BTCUSDT setup.
BTCUSDT previously transitioned from a strong bearish impulse into a recovery phase, where price formed a well-defined upward channel, signaling a corrective bullish structure. Within this channel, Bitcoin produced higher highs and higher lows, confirming temporary buyer control after the sell-off. During this phase, price also formed a consolidation range, reflecting a pause and balance between buyers and sellers before the next move. As price advanced, BTCUSDT approached a major Resistance Zone around 95,50096,000, where selling pressure became evident. Multiple tests of this area failed to produce acceptance above resistance, and a clear rejection / test occurred at the top of the channel. This behavior indicates supply dominance at higher levels. Following the rejection, price broke below the upper channel structure and pulled back toward the Support Zone near 93,000, which previously acted as both demand and a breakout level.
Currently, BTCUSDT is trading below the resistance zone and showing signs of weakness after the failed breakout attempt. The recent breakout below minor support suggests a potential continuation to the downside, while the broader structure remains vulnerable as long as price stays capped below resistance.
My Scenario & Strategy
My primary scenario remains bearish while BTCUSDT trades below the 95,50096,000 Resistance Zone and continues to show rejection from the upper channel. Any pullbacks toward resistance that show weakness or rejection may offer short opportunities, with downside continuation toward the 93,000 Support Zone as the first objective. A decisive breakdown below support would open the door for a deeper corrective move.
However, a strong breakout and

Lingrid | GOLD Key Level Breakout Triggers Bullish Continuation
OANDA:XAUUSD perfectly played out my weekly trading idea . Price has confirmed a clean breakout above the former consolidation ceiling, shifting market structure firmly back in favor of buyers. Price compressed inside the triangle before expanding with strong momentum, suggesting accumulation rather than exhaustion. The breakout zone around 4525 now acts as a key demand area, reinforcing bullish intent.
As long as price holds above this reclaimed level, continuation toward 4650 and potentially the higher resistance band remains plausible. A shallow pullback into the breakout zone may even strengthen the upside case by resetting momentum before the next leg higher.
Primary scenario: hold above 4525 continuation toward 4650.
Risk scenario: sustained acceptance back below 4520 may delay the move and trigger a deeper consolidation.

Technical Pullback Within a Downtrend
Hello everyone,
At this point, the downtrend remains the dominant scenario for EUR/USD. The recent rebounds do not signal a trend change, but rather look like technical pullbacks pauses that allow price to rebalance before the market decides on its next move.
After topping out around the 1.1800 area, price has continued to weaken and stays below both the EMA 34 and EMA 89. The EMA 34 is sloping downward and acting as short-term dynamic resistance, while the EMA 89 has also started to roll over, confirming that medium-term bearish pressure is still in control. The inability of EUR/USD to reclaim the EMA 34 during these pullbacks clearly shows that buyers lack the strength to shift the broader bias.
Price action further reinforces this view. Rallies into the 1.16801.1700 zone are quickly rejected, with weak momentum and no real follow-through. This is a familiar characteristic of a bearish market: rallies are opportunities to sell, not phases of accumulation for a new uptrend. At the moment, price is hovering around the 1.163x area, near the recent lows, and there are still no signs of a higher low forming.
From a broader context perspective, the US dollar continues to hold a relative advantage supported by stable US economic data, while the eurozone has yet to generate enough momentum to meaningfully support the euro. This imbalance explains why EUR/USD rebounds tend to be shallow and easily sold into.
Wishing you all smooth and disciplined trading!

Why Small Accounts Blow Up (Its Not the Market)
A question I see everywhere in trading is:
Can I start trading with a small account?
Like $100 $200 $300
And the honest answer is:
Yes, you can start.
But the real problem is not the account size.
The real problem is the expectation behind it.
Because most traders dont ask this question from curiosity.
They ask it from pressure.
The small account is not the danger the mindset is
A small account becomes dangerous when you treat it like:
- a rescue plan
- a shortcut
- a last chance
- a quick flip into financial freedom
That mindset quietly forces urgency into your decisions.
And once urgency enters trading, you get the classic spiral:
bigger lot sizes
no stop loss discipline
revenge trades
chasing volatility
I just need one good trade
Thats not trading.
Thats emotional survival mode.
What most people really mean by small account
Lets decode the real question:
When someone says Can I start with $200? they usually mean:
Can I turn this into a big amount quickly?
And thats where trading goes wrong.
Because the market doesnt reward hope.
It rewards execution.
The market doesnt pay you faster because you need it
Trading doesnt care if youre struggling.
It doesnt care if youre a good person.
It doesnt care if you deserve a win.
It only responds to:
discipline
risk management
consistency
probabilities
This is why many traders get emotionally exhausted.
They are not fighting the market
They are fighting reality.
A small account should be a training account
If you start small, the healthiest approach is to treat it like:
a skill-building account
not an income-producing machine.
Your job is not to
