XAUUSD Buyers Step In at Key Level - Momentum Stabilizes
Hello traders! Heres my technical outlook on XAUUSD (1H) based on the current chart structure. Gold is trading within a broader bullish structure after a strong impulsive rally from lower levels. Earlier, price moved inside a consolidation range, signaling accumulation before breaking out to the upside and confirming renewed buyer control. This breakout initiated a sharp bullish leg, forming a sequence of higher highs and higher lows. Following the impulsive move, XAUUSD reached the Seller Zone around the 4,400 Resistance Level, where strong selling pressure appeared. Price dropped aggressively from this area, confirming supply dominance at higher levels. After the drop, gold broke below the resistance, then performed a test and retest of the same zone, which now acts as resistance. This behavior confirms a short-term structural shift while the broader bullish trend remains intact. Currently, price is reacting around the Buyer Zone near 4,3104,320, which aligns with a key Support Level and a previous breakout area. This zone has already shown a clear reaction, with price turning around and forming a higher low above the rising Trend Line. The recent move into support appears corrective rather than impulsive, suggesting a pause within the larger bullish structure rather than a full reversal. My scenario: as long as XAUUSD holds above the Buyer Zone and respects the rising Trend Line, the bullish structure remains valid. A strong reaction from this area could lead to a move back toward the 4,400 Resistance Level (TP1). A confirmed breakout and acceptance above resistance would signal bullish continuation. However, a decisive breakdown below the Buyer Zone would weaken the structure and signal a deeper corrective move. For now, price is at a key decision area, with b

EURUSD Breakdown Confirmed, 1.1640 Support in Focus
Hello traders! Heres my technical outlook on EURUSD (2H) based on the current chart structure. EURUSD initially traded within a well-defined ascending channel, showing a strong bullish structure with higher highs and higher lows after the market started to grow from the lower levels. This bullish phase reflected steady buyer control, supported by a rising support line and multiple clean reactions along the channel structure. Eventually, price broke above the channel resistance, signaling momentum expansion. Following the breakout, EURUSD entered a clear range, where price consolidated between key highs and lows, indicating temporary balance between buyers and sellers. Multiple internal reactions and false moves within this range highlighted uncertainty and distribution near the highs. After topping out, price turned around and transitioned into a short-term descending channel, marking a shift in momentum. During this pullback, EURUSD broke below the range support and the descending channel support, confirming increasing bearish pressure. Price is now trading below the Resistance Level near 1.1720, which aligns with the former breakout area and the Seller Zone, reinforcing it as a strong supply region. The recent breakout below this level suggests sellers are gaining control in the short term. Currently, price is reacting around the Buyer Zone near the Support Level around 1.1670. This area aligns with prior demand and has already produced a small bounce, indicating potential short-term reaction. However, the overall structure remains corrective within the broader move. My scenario: as long as EURUSD remains below the 1.1720 Resistance Level, bearish pressure is likely to persist, with TP1 targeting the 1.1640 Support Level. A clear breakdown below support would open

Bitcoin Stuck in a Holiday Range CME Gap Below?
During the Christmas period, Bitcoin ( BINANCE:BTCUSDT ) didnt exhibit strong momentum and has been moving within a range.
Bitcoin is currently near the resistance zone($90,960-$90,09 and the Cumulative Short Liquidation Leverage($91,840-$90,92.
From an Elliott Wave perspective, it appears that Bitcoin has completed the Double Three Correction(WXY).
I expect that given the weekend and generally lower trading volume at this time, Bitcoin may struggle to break the resistance zone($90,960-$90,09 and could begin to decline, potentially filling the CME Gap($88,720-$88,12. If BTC breaks the support lines, we can expect further declines to the support zone($87,050-$86,42.
Note: Additionally, two important trading levels to watch for Bitcoin are $90,300 and $87,830.
What are your thoughts? Do you think Bitcoin will continue its trend into 2026, or should we prepare for a correction? Id love to hear your opinion!
Cumulative Long Liquidation Leverage: $87,110-$86,020
First Target: Support lines
Second Target: Support zone($87,050-$86,42

What to Expect this week for EURUSD
The price has been forming a clear Elliott Wave pattern to the upside since early November 2025. The first impulse wave retraced to the 78.6% level, followed by another bullish impulse that pulled back to the 38.2% level. A pullback to the 38.2% or 28.6% level typically indicates strong bullish momentum. As we observe the final impulse in the classic Elliott Wave structure, the price has now pulled back to the 50% level, a deeper correction than the previous 38.2%. This suggests the price may be starting to reverse. The key question is whether the price will break below the ascending trendline. I believe there is a strong possibility of this occurring. Lets review the economic calendar for this weeks upcoming risk events.

Bitcoin (BTC): 2026 Will Be Year Of Bear Market
So 2026 is here which means a fresh year of opportunities
That being said, I thought to make a very simple TA here of what 2026 might be giving us and what we are expecting to happen as well.
Basically, as price is hovering near the local neckline area just as last time when we were on the edge of a bullish market, the end of the year gave us one last push, similar to what we are expecting to see right now as well.
That being said, this is not the major move we are looking for in 2026; the major move is the break of that neckline, which would then give us a bigger downside movement (around 52%, like in 2022).

Hello Traders!
What are your thoughts on GOLD?
After a strong bullish rally, Gold has entered a range-bound consolidation phase between clearly defined support and resistance zones.
At the moment, price is trading within the range, and positions taken in the middle of the range carry elevated risk, as price can reverse sharply from either side and trigger stop losses.
Trading Plan:
In the short term, the preferred strategy is to wait for a confirmed breakout from the range:
1Bullish scenario: A clean break above the resistance zone, followed by a pullback and continuation to the upside
2Bearish scenario: A confirmed breakdown below the support zone, followed by a pullback and continuation to the downside
