🥈 Is Silver Preparing for a New Record? Silver is showing a strong technical setup. After breaking upward out of a symmetrical triangle pattern, the asset has updated its all time high (ATH). The current market structure remains clearly bullish, with buyers fully in control. 👇 Key levels and scenarios: 👇 1️⃣ If price holds above the 119.0037 resistance level, the main target becomes 127.1838. This move would confirm the long term bullish trend. 2️⃣ Markets rarely move in a straight line. Before a decisive breakout, a local pullback toward the trendline is possible. Such a move would reduce overbought conditions and give the asset strength for the next upward impulse. ⚠️ Do not forget the importance of market structure and proper risk management. $XAG

Volume Profile: How to See the Market from the Inside
Most indicators look backward (at price history), while Volume Profile shows what is happening inside the market right now. It displays trading volume not over time, but at specific price levels. 🤔 What does this give a trader? Traditional volume (vertical) tells us when heavy trading occurred. Volume Profile (horizontal) tells us at what price heavy trading occurred. This allows you to identify true support and resistance levels. ✅ Key concepts you need to know 🟢 POC (Point of Control) — the price level where the highest volume was traded during the selected period. This is where the greatest interest from large players is concentrated. 🟢 Value Area (VA) — the value zone. The range where 70% of total trading volume occurred. Inside this zone, price is considered “fair.” 🟢 High Volume Nodes (HVN) — peaks on the profile. These are levels where price spent a lot of time. They act like magnets and strong support/resistance zones. 🟢 Low Volume Nodes (LVN) — gaps or valleys in the profile. These are areas the market moves through quickly. The market considers these prices uninteresting. 💡 How to use this in trading 1️⃣ POC test If price moves far away from the Point of Control (POC) and then returns to it, expect a reaction. Very often, this creates an ideal entry point in the direction of the prevailing trend. 2️⃣ Trading the Value Area boundaries 🟠 If price breaks above the Value Area and holds, it signals a strong bullish trend. 🟠 If price makes a false breakout and returns back inside the Value Area, it will most likely move toward the opposite boundary. 3️⃣ Filling the gaps If you see a “void” in the profile (LVN), keep in mind: once price enters this area, it will usually move through it very quickly. These zones are excellent for setting take-profit targets. ❗️ The main secret of Volume Profile The market always moves from imbalance (low volume) toward balance (high volume). Volume Profile is a map that shows exactly where these zones are.

⚖️ The market is the most honest judge in the world
It doesn’t listen to excuses and doesn’t believe in “luck.” It simply and instantly converts your lack of discipline into someone else’s profit.
❓ Want to understand which side you’re on? 👇 Answer yourself honestly 👇
📈 YOU ARE A TRADER IF: 🟢 You have a plan: You know exactly where you will enter and where you will exit before even opening the terminal. 🟢 Risk is under control: The amount you can lose in a single trade is known in advance and doesn’t scare you. 🟢 Stop-loss is the foundation: It’s placed at the moment of entry, not “sometime later.” 🟢 Math is above ego: You calculate risk/reward instead of visualizing a new car. 🟢 Emotional control: You follow the rules even when the market tries to provoke you.
🎰 YOU ARE A GAMBLER IF: 🟠 FOMO is in control: You jump into a flying rocket because you’re afraid of missing profit. 🟠 You move stops: You hope that “price will turn any moment now” and allow losses to grow. 🟠 Tilt and revenge: You increase position size after a loss to “win it back quickly.” 🟠 Belief instead of calculation: Your main strategy is the phrase “It has to go down/up!”
⚡️ Gamblers live by emotions and random wins that sooner or later end in a blow-up.
📊 Traders live by math, process, and discipline. And that’s exactly what allows them to stay in the market for the long run.
