Can Lilly Redefine Weight Loss Market Leadership?Eli Lilly is rapidly emerging as a dominant force in the burgeoning weight loss drug market, presenting a significant challenge to incumbent leader Novo Nordisk. Lilly has demonstrated remarkable commercial success despite its key therapy, Zepbound (tirzepatide), entering the market well after Novo Nordisk's Wegovy (semaglutide). Zepbound's substantial revenue in 2024 underscores its rapid adoption and strong competitive standing, leading market analysts to project Eli Lilly's obesity drug sales will surpass Novo Nordisk's within the next few years. This swift ascent highlights the impact of a highly effective product in a market with immense unmet demand. The success of Eli Lilly's tirzepatide, the active ingredient in both Zepbound and the diabetes treatment Mounjaro, stems from its dual mechanism targeting GLP-1 and GIP receptors, offering potentially enhanced clinical benefits. The company's market position was further solidified by a recent U.S. federal court ruling that upheld the FDA's decision to remove tirzepatide from the drug shortage list. This legal victory effectively halts compounding pharmacies from producing unauthorized, cheaper versions of Zepbound and Mounjaro, thereby protecting Lilly's market exclusivity and ensuring the integrity of the supply chain for the approved product. Looking ahead, Eli Lilly's pipeline includes the promising oral GLP-1 receptor agonist, orforglipron. Positive Phase 3 trial results indicate its potential as a convenient, non-injectable alternative with comparable efficacy to existing therapies. As a small molecule, orforglipron offers potential advantages in manufacturing scalability and cost, which could significantly expand access globally if approved. Eli Lilly is actively increasing its manufacturing capacity to meet anticipated demand for its incretin therapies, positioning itself to capitalize on the vast and growing global market for weight management solutions.

XAUUSD Reversal? A time for drunken horses Looking at this chart, it seems gold is facing a notable downward trend. If you're strategizing around this movement, here are a few angles to consider: - **Short-Selling Opportunities**: If you're comfortable with leveraged trades, this drop could present a chance to capitalize on bearish momentum. - **Support Level Analysis**: Identifying key support zones could help anticipate potential rebounds or further breakdowns. - **Macroeconomic Triggers**: Market sentiment and economic events (like Fed policy or geopolitical shifts) could be influencing this trend—worth analyzing for deeper insights. #xauusd #goldwhiz

When Stocks & Bond Move Opposite Direction - Its implicationWhen Stocks & Bond Move Opposite Direction what does it mean? We have observed a divergence between the stock and bond markets since 2020. While U.S. Treasury bonds entered a bear zone, the stock markets continued their upward climb. What are the implications of this decoupling? Will the stock market resume its uptrend and hit new highs? Or is this merely a retracement before further downward pressure?

GBPJPY hit Take Profit in just 3 minutes!Hey traders — my trades are usually like sniper shots: fast, accurate, and to the point. Most of the time, they reach their target within 15–20 minutes at most. And there's a reason for that: I always stick to my trade plan, and my setups usually have a Risk-to-Reward Ratio of 1:1.50 to 1:2. With over 8 years of forex experience, I’ve developed a strong sense of where sniper entries are likely to occur. Plus, I’m a volume-based trader — and if you can read volume, you can often figure out exactly where the money is headed. 😉

3 Liquidity indicators.3 Liquidity indicators. The liquidity indicators really need to be used together; they all give you great insight into the changes happening under the surface of the price action. 1. Liquidity sentiment indicator. This indicator shows you the strength of liquidity during a move up or in a pull back. It’s not moderated so it shows a relative strength of liquidity over all time scales. This is the most important of the indicators for staying in a trade as you actually see how much of the strength of the liquidity had dissipated during a move in price, it’s great for all time scales. 2.Time layered Liquidity Indicator gives you an idea of how long a change in liquidity strength takes to play out. The thickest line showing the current liquidity on the surface(nearest time period), but if this has been preceded by very strong liquidity at the surface for an extended period of time the moving average of the different layers of the liquidity will give you a good idea of how long that move has to play out until the liquidity makes a neutral level from the recent strong surface liquidity. 3. Irregular liquidity is vital to trading futures in short time periods that bridge different time zones over the Globex Futures markets, and securities(ones only trade during lit hours) over longer periods that bridge more than one day. This is because the lit hours of NYSE have so much more liquidity than the other globex hours, and different days of the week or month also have different patterns of liquidity because of hedging. The irregular liquidity indicator moderates any time period with the last 15 either days or week periods depending on the setting you choose, and smooths them to a moving average of 8 time periods. The day moderation is for a 4 hour time period and less setting on your TradingView. The weekly setting is for smoothing when you have your time period set to days. The Irregular Liquidity indicator also has a line in its moderation scale that is set at neutral to give you a relative feel of how far above or below an average liquidity the current measurement is.

USDJPYHello Traders! 👋 What are your thoughts on USDJPY? On the USD/JPY chart, we observe a breakdown of the ascending channel, which could signal a potential trend reversal and growing bearish momentum. Currently, the price is pulling back to the broken level. Given the overall bearish structure, we expect the downtrend to resume after the pullback completes, potentially targeting lower support levels in the sessions ahead. Don’t forget to like and share your thoughts in the comments! ❤️
