NQ broke out its sideways range and made a double top/new little higher ATH.
NQ pulled back at the same speed as it elevated on the US open

DOW pulls back since Tech is back in grace again. Shift from DOW to Tech.

SnP hovers somewhere in the middle

Futures price

Gold dropped in June to 3250 zone.
Then recovered 50% of the down move on begin July
+/- 25%/30% down again.
Just have to wait how it works out further again.
Still in a declining channel.

Possible Swing longs above 3333<>3335 Monthly VWAP/declining channel
Possible Swing short below 3320 Wk POC down to 3300>>3275 bottom declining channel
Between just scalping.

Stuck at W POC and WPP zone

Between 3345<> 3300 just scalping. Little bearish but no real trend now on the longer TF charts.

Price locked in a triangle as you can see on the Daily chart. Price hovers between MPP 3345/50<>WPP 3325/3300.
Needs a trigger to break out that narrowing range.
That means patience here. That is what is says (to me)

ES closed +5.5p

Trump’s ‘big beautiful bill’ cuts food stamps for millions — the average family may lose $146 per month, report finds

Republicans’ “big beautiful” reconciliation package includes tax cuts that policy researchers have found primarily benefit the wealthy.

To help pay for that, the legislation also includes “substantial” cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, formerly known as food stamps, according to research from the Urban Institute.

The changes will cause 22.3 million families to lose some or all of their SNAP benefits, according to the institute, a nonpartisan provider of policy research. Its analysis is based on the legislation passed by the Senate, which the House did not change before voting for the bill, signed into law by President Donald Trump.

SNAP currently provides basic food assistance to more than 40 million people, including children, seniors and nonelderly adults with disabilities, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a nonpartisan research and policy institute.

It looks Gold wants to lift up again.

On the Daily still locked inside that triangle.

On the 240M it tries to BO but still below the MPP and M VWAP.

On the Renko I wait till it moves above the DR1 3336<>3337 for a Scalp long to 3350<>3355

First target 3345
Next 3350<>3355

Ugly down move in the markets.

Trump found his phone again?

MNQ counter long 5 lot.

1 lot left/SL BE
Closed at 3344.5/MPP/DR2 zone

If it BO above MPP 3345 zone again I will try a new long(s) for 3355 and 3375 targets

Trumpy Dumpy found his phone again
That was the trigger we needed for a BO.
