Support and resistance, supply and demand, RBS, key highs and lows, and areas where price has a reason to react.
PRICE ACTION · MARKET STRUCTURE · MACRO
I’m Ayush Bankar — an intraday and swing trader documenting the thinking behind the chart: key levels, liquidity, structure, and the bigger picture.
The chart is only one part of the story. I combine higher-timeframe context with clear levels, structure, and a planned reaction — then review what actually happened.
My work centres on XAUUSD and the habits that make analysis repeatable: mark the area, wait for price to confirm, manage the risk, and journal the outcome.
Here you’ll find my chart breakdowns, examples from my trading journal, free educational videos, and a place to ask questions about your own process.

Concepts are tools, not magic. I look for confluence, define invalidation, and stay comfortable with the fact that any setup can fail.
Support and resistance, supply and demand, RBS, key highs and lows, and areas where price has a reason to react.
Liquidity sweeps, CHOCH, displacement, fair value gaps, and confirmation — used with context rather than in isolation.
COT data, major economic events, and the higher-timeframe backdrop help frame a bias. Price still has to confirm it.
My non-negotiable: a bias is not an entry. I want a clear level, a valid trigger, defined risk, and a reason to stay out when those pieces don’t align.
My aim is not to predict every candle. It’s to make a decision that I can explain before entering — and review honestly afterward.

THINK CLEARLY. EXECUTE CALMLY.Map major structure, key highs and lows, and the zones worth watching. The bigger picture gives the lower timeframe a job.
Let price reach a planned area. No chasing a move just because it has already started.
Look for a trigger such as structure shift or candle confirmation, then define where the idea is invalidated.
Respect risk, record the result, and note what could be improved. One outcome never defines the whole method.

NOTE These examples are shared for learning and review. A screenshot is not a verified full performance record, and past trades do not predict future results.
I track the area, confirmation, level, result, and extra context. It helps separate a repeatable decision from a lucky outcome — and makes weak habits easier to spot.
The journal image is a sample from my working notes, not an audited track record. Individual outcomes can vary widely.
