The New Year kickoff has been dangerous for traders (or delightful for some I guess) in the past (remembering the Yen Flash Crash January 2019)
I don't trade or understand paper silver to trade or comment But physical is now in the forefront Take this for what it's worth, I have no deep understanding or opinion at all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6b5suA_yI-0&t=156s https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/.../126203807.cms...

Okay, been trading again this week and no real change to the dynamics or mechanics that I can notice despite the global chaos's we are currently seeing ffs.
Still, it is what it is.
I'm trading to & from the same behavoural attractors, session dependent of course, just direction analysis at the timing required is all
(ie are they trading price above or below certain levels each day, or just ranging up and down between them).
Trade safe, trade well all

Imo we can make trading as complex or as simple as possible. Up to us.
We can break down the whole market from its extreme top to its extreme bottom mathematically.
We can also pre-position our minds (imho) to where 'groups' of different traders are likely to be 'attracted' to price
(all day traders, swing traders and position traders).
And when we can identify our markets (forex pairs, indices & metals, even crypto) behavoural repetitive mechanics then we only need to (again, just imho),
use directional analysis for our preferred sessions, employing timing (Price + Time) for trade entries & exits that suit OUR particular style of trading.
While always trading safe + well.
The (simplicity) of trader attractors imho, known & identified as each new trading day begins. Where are (were) the larger confluence groupings of the attractors.
Back at the end of next week again now. All the best to all.
