Gold Traders, Hold Pause!

Good morning, traders.

The charts are up, the coffee’s cold, and there’s an old trading journal staring back at us - probably full of notes we swore we’d revisit.

But who needs nostalgia when the markets are giving us plenty to focus on? 

Gold is hovering near $2,760 as traders wait for the Fed’s next move, Bitcoin is stuck battling resistance, and Wall Street isn’t too happy with Powell’s “no rush” approach to rate cuts.

The setups are forming, the news is rolling in - let’s break it all down. 

✊ Gold Traders Hold Breath for FOMC Decision
Gold prices are tiptoeing around the $2,760 mark, as traders hold their breath ahead of the Federal Reserve’s policy decision. With sliding U.S. Treasury yields and weaker dollar lending support, the yellow metal remains on track for a potential breakout.

⛔ Gold Slips as Fed Stays Put!
Gold prices dipped after the Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged, offering no clear signal on future cuts. With rate cuts likely delayed until mid-year, will gold struggle to reclaim its recent highs?

🚧 Why Is Bitcoin Price Stuck?
Bitcoin’s been trading in a tight range since mid-January, hovering around $100K but unable to break $110K. What's holding it back? Weak demand at higher prices, resistance at $103K, and uncertainty over the Fed’s next move.

📉 Bitcoin Unlikely to Plunge to $75K - Analyst 
Could Bitcoin really plunge to $75K before April? According to Derive’s Sean Dawson, the odds are still below 10%, even after a recent price dip. While volatility is rising, BTC remains above $100K - for now.

🤖 Tech Stocks Rebound in Asia as DeepSeek Fears Fade
Asian tech stocks bounced back after days of losses, tracking Wall Street’s gains as fears over China’s DeepSeek AI model eased. Japan’s Nikkei rose 0.5%, snapping a three-day losing streak, while Australia’s tech sector jumped 2.2%. But with Meta, Microsoft, and Tesla earnings ahead, will the rally hold?

🏛️ Wall Street Slips After Fed Holds Rates Steady
The Fed hit pause on rate cuts, and Wall Street wasn’t thrilled. The S&P 500 fell 0.5%, the Dow dipped 137 points, and the Nasdaq slid 0.5%. Fed Chair Powell says there’s “no hurry” to cut rates—so what does this mean for markets next?

🔥 Oil Prices Hold Steady as Markets Weigh Trump Tariffs
Oil prices barely budged as traders assessed the impact of Trump’s potential 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico. Brent crude dipped just 2 cents, while U.S. crude edged up 0.1%. With uncertainty over how tariffs could shake up energy markets, could oil prices be in for a bigger move soon?

Spotting Weakness: MGM & Citigroup on the Decline

The market is showing cracks in different sectors, and we’re taking advantage of two setups where sellers are stepping in.

MGM Resorts (NYSE: MGM)

At $34.55, MGM is losing its winning streak. 

The stock is struggling to hold key levels, and with momentum shifting downward, there’s room for further declines.

As consumer spending tightens and travel demand cools, MGM could see more pressure ahead.

🎯 Targets:

Sell: $34.55
TP1: $34
TP2: $33.50

Citigroup (NYSE: C)

We’re also shorting Citigroup at $81.88 as financial stocks face selling pressure. 

Citi has struggled to push higher, and with resistance holding strong, a pullback looks likely.

The technicals are lining up for a downside move, making this a solid short opportunity.

🎯 Targets:

Sell: $81.88
TP1: $79.73
TP2: $77.45

Two different sectors, same story - selling pressure is building.

Let’s see how these play out and stay ready for the next move!

Bearish Kicker

A Bearish Kicker is a powerful bearish reversal candlestick pattern that signals a potential shift from an uptrend to a downtrend.

What to Look For:

• Two Candles: The pattern consists of two distinct candles.
  
  
• Long Bullish Candle: The first candle should be a long, green candle, indicating a strong bullish trend.
  
  
• Subsequent Bearish Candle: The second candle must be a significantly larger red candle that opens above the high of the previous bullish candle. This "kicking" action signifies a strong reversal of the uptrend.

Most traders dream of hitting it big. 

John D. Arnold actually did it - then walked away at 38. 

No burnout, no comeback story. 

Just billions made, mic dropped.

Arnold wasn’t just another hotshot trader. 

He rightly earned the title as the most successful natural gas trader of all time.

He turned Enron’s natural gas desk into a money-printing machine, reportedly making them $750 million in 2001 alone. 

When Enron imploded, he took his winnings, started Centaurus Advisors, and dominated the energy markets. 

His secret? 

Cold-blooded calculation. 

He didn’t trade based on hype - he hunted market inefficiencies, striking when others hesitated. 

Some years, his hedge fund pulled in 300% returns.

Then, in the ultimate power move, he retired early and pivoted to philanthropy, tackling complex issues like education reform and criminal justice. 

While most traders chase their next big win, Arnold understood the real game - knowing when to go all in and when to cash out.

So ask yourself: are you trading with strategy, or just gambling and hoping for the best? 

Because the ones who win long-term aren’t guessing.
