USD (US Dollar)

USD/CHF -8/9/2022-• Triangle pattern explained + measurement method • On the weekly chart, while ago, a triangle formation can be seen • Breakout can be either way • In the above case, the breakout was to the upside, supported by strong fundamentals in favor of the dollar • Traders should wait for a successful breakout before placing any trade • Breakout was confirmed by several bars above the upper trend line resistance • Buy order is placed upon the breakout, and the measurement method is applied for profit taking • What is the measurement method? • It is the distance between the lowest point in the triangle and the first high, the widest distance in other words • In this case, the length is 700 pips, so we project this distance from the breakout point • We get the target around parity, which was reached accurately at a later stage

The concept of trend lines, support and resistance Today, I am going to explain the concept of trend lines, support and resistance. Above is the weekly chart of the EUR/USD, period between 2017 and 2022. The resistance or support level is where the price gets rejected at least twice. After that, traders can draw a line connecting those swing highs/lows, which later turn to be the resistance or support. This line can be horizontal or sloping, thus called trend line. A trend line connecting 2 lower highs or more is called descending and considered a resistance. A trend line connecting 2 higher lows or more is called ascending and considered support. Broken resistance becomes a support level and vice versa. Let's take the example chart above and explain the drawings for a better understanding: 1) In January 2017, EUR/USD bottomed at 1.0350 and has been trading above that level since then, until 2022. In the current year, the pair tested the mentioned price more than twice and bounced again. But eventually, sellers were able to break through this support, which later on in July, turned to be a resistance. Buyers tried to break through that level but failed to do so, and the price kept on going further down. 2) During the pandemic in March 2020, demand for safe assets surged, causing the Euro to trade as low as 1.0630 where buyers were met and made a quick rebound. In 2022, the Russia-Ukraine war has put a huge pressure on the EUR/USD, resulting in a strong bearish move. Sellers were able to break the 1.0630 level successfully, which later turned to a resistance level. 3) I highlighted the main 3 parallel trend lines/channels throughout the 2018-2022 period 1: A very clear lower highs/lower lows pattern indicating a bearish trend. 2: Once the 1.0630 support was met, buyers were able to create a higher highs/higher lows pattern indicating a bullish trend reversal. 3: However, in summer 2021, the pattern was broken and we started to notice trend exhaustion indicated by a failure to make higher highs and the market entered a bearish trend again inside a descending channel till present. I hope the drawings and explanations are clear. Will be happy to answer any question. Thank you

Learn What is U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) 💵💲 Hey traders, I share my analysis, signals and forecasts on Dollar Index occasionally. Quite often I receive questions from you asking me to explain what exactly that index means and why it is so important. Dollar Index (DXY) is a measure of the value of the United States Dollar against a weighted basket of major currencies. This basket consists of 6 following currencies: 🇪🇺Euro (EUR) - 57.6% share 🇯🇵Japanese yen (JPY) - 13.6% share 🇬🇧Pound sterling (GBP) - 11.9% share 🇨🇦Canadian dollar (CAD) - 9.1% share 🇸🇪Swedish krona (SEK) - 4.2% share 🇨🇭Swiss franc (CHF) - 3.6% share The selection of the following basket of currencies and their weight is determined by the significance of a trading partnership between the countries. The index value is calculated with the formula: USDX = 50.14348112 × EURUSD ^ -0.576 × USDJPY ^ 0.136 × GBPUSD ^ -0.119 × USDCAD ^ 0.091 × USDSEK ^ 0.042 × USDCHF ^ 0.036 The index was launched in 1973 and had an initial value of 100. When the U.S.D is gaining strength against the above-mentioned currencies, the index is growing, while its weakness against them leads to a decline of the index value. To conclude, the Dollar Index reflects a fair value of the Dollar and its dominance in global markets. Its analysis may help to make more accurate predictions of the future direction of the dollar related instruments. Do you analyze DXY? ❤️If you have any questions, please, ask me in the comment section. Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️

Most Popular Types Of Candles How to Read Candlestick charts? Candlestick charts were originated in Japan over 100 years before the West had developed the bar charts and point-and-figure charts. In the 1700s, a Japanese man known as Homma discovered that as there was a link between price and the supply and demand of rice, the markets also were strongly influenced by the emotions of traders. A daily candlestick charts shows the security’s open, high, low, and close price for the day. The candlestick’s wide or rectangle part is called the “real body” which shows the link between opening and closing prices. This real body shows the price range between the open and close of that day’s trading. When the real body is filled, black or red then it means that the close is lower than the open and is known as the bearish candle. It shows that the prices opened, the bears pushed the prices down and closed lower than the opening price. If the real body is empty, white or green then it means that the close was higher than the open known as the bullish candle. It shows that the prices opened, the bulls pushed the prices up and closed higher than the opening price. The thin vertical lines above and below the real body is knowns as the wicks or shadows which represents the high and low prices of the trading session. --------------------------------------- 1- Hammer Candle Hammer is a single candlestick pattern that is formed at the end of a downtrend and signals a bullish reversal. The real body of this candle is small and is located at the top with a lower shadow which should be more than twice the real body. This candlestick chart pattern has no or little upper shadow. The psychology behind this candle formation is that the prices opened, and sellers pushed down the prices. Suddenly the buyers came into the market and pushed the prices up and closed the trading session more than the opening price. This resulted in the formation of bullish pattern and signifies that buyers are back in the market and downtrend may end. Traders can enter a long position if next day a bullish candle is formed and can place a stop-loss at the low of Hammer. ----------------------------------------- 2- Hanging Man Hanging Man is a single candlestick pattern which is formed at the end of an uptrend and signals bearish reversal. The real body of this candle is small and is located at the top with a lower shadow which should be more than the twice of the real body. This candlestick pattern has no or little upper shadow. The psychology behind this candle formation is that the prices opened and seller pushed down the prices. Suddenly the buyers came into the market and pushed the prices up but were unsuccessful in doing so as the prices closed below the opening price. This resulted in the formation of bearish pattern and signifies that seller are back in the market and uptrend may end. Traders can enter a short position if next day a bearish candle is formed and can place a stop-loss at the high of Hanging Man. ----------------------------------------- 3- Three White Soldiers The Three White Soldiers is a multiple candlestick pattern that is formed after a downtrend indicating a bullish reversal. These candlestick charts are made of three long bullish bodies which do not have long shadows and are open within the real body of the previous candle in the pattern. ----------------------------------------- 4- Inverted Hammer An Inverted Hammer is formed at the end of the downtrend and gives a bullish reversal signal. In this candlestick, the real body is located at the end and there is a long upper shadow. It is the inverse of the Hammer Candlestick pattern. This pattern is formed when the opening and closing prices are near to each other and the upper shadow should be more than twice the real body. ---------------------------------------- 5- Piercing Pattern Piercing pattern is a multiple candlestick chart pattern formed after a downtrend indicating a bullish reversal. Two candles form it, the first candle being a bearish candle which indicates the continuation of the downtrend. The second candle is a bullish candle which opens the gap down but closes more than 50% of the real body of the previous candle, which shows that the bulls are back in the market and a bullish reversal is going to take place. Traders can enter a long position if the next day a bullish candle is formed and can place a stop-loss at the low of the second candle. ---------------------------------------- 6- White Marubozu The White Marubozu is a single candlestick pattern that is formed after a downtrend indicating a bullish reversal. This candlestick has a long bullish body with no upper or lower shadows which shows that the bulls are exerting buying pressure and the markets may turn bullish. At the formation of this candle, the sellers should be caution and close their shorting position. Don't Forget To Like And Follow To Next Part

‼️ Economic calendar week 02.05-06.05 As usual, at the beginning of the month we have a busy week from a fundamental point of view, with presentations of reference rates, NFP, etc. As well, on Monday we have bank holiday on GBP and Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday on JPY, so we can see less volatility on pairs with these currencies. Seems we could see an increase rates on AUD, USD and GBP, but I think we saw bullish price action on these currencies during last weeks and I expect now a retracement. My recommendation is to avoid trading during these news events. Take care!

Why We Must Use Stop Loss ?! And What The Stop Loss Mean What Is a Stop-Loss Order? A stop-loss order is an order placed with a broker to buy or sell a specific stock once the stock reaches a certain price. A stop-loss is designed to limit an investor's loss on a security position. For example, setting a stop-loss order for 10% below the price at which you bought the stock will limit your loss to 10%. Suppose you just purchased Microsoft (MSFT) at $20 per share. Right after buying the stock, you enter a stop-loss order for $18. If the stock falls below $18, your shares will then be sold at the prevailing market price. Stop-limit orders are similar to stop-loss orders. However, as their name states, there is a limit on the price at which they will execute. There are then two prices specified in a stop-limit order: the stop price, which will convert the order to a sell order, and the limit price. Instead of the order becoming a market order to sell, the sell order becomes a limit order that will only execute at the limit price (or better). Stop-Loss Orders Are Also a Way to Lock In Profits Stop-loss orders are traditionally thought of as a way to prevent losses. However, another use of this tool is to lock in profits. In this case, sometimes stop-loss orders are referred to as a "trailing stop." Here, the stop-loss order is set at a percentage level below the current market price (not the price at which you bought it). The price of the stop-loss adjusts as the stock price fluctuates. It's important to keep in mind that if a stock goes up, you have an unrealized gain; you don't have the cash in hand until you sell. Using a trailing stop allows you to let profits run, while, at the same time, guaranteeing at least some realized capital gain. Continuing with our Microsoft example from above, suppose you set a trailing stop order for 10% below the current price, and the stock skyrockets to $30 within a month. Your trailing-stop order would then lock in at $27 per share ($30 - (10% x $30) = $27). Because this is the worst price you would receive, even if the stock takes an unexpected dip, you won't be in the red. Of course, keep in mind the stop-loss order is still a market order—it simply stays dormant and is activated only when the trigger price is reached. So, the price your sale actually trades at may be slightly different than the specified trigger price.

📚Learn More💰Earn More - Head and Shoulders in DOTUSD📚 LEARN MORE 💰 EARN MORE With ForecastCity Head and Shoulders Definition: A head and shoulders pattern is also a trend reversal formation. It is formed by a peak (left shoulder), followed by a higher peak (head), and then another lower peak (right shoulder). A “Neckline” is drawn by connecting the lowest points of the two troughs. Neckline support does not need to be strictly horizontal. This illustrates that the upward trend is coming to an end. When a Head and Shoulders formation is seen in an uptrend, it signifies a major reversal. The pattern is confirmed once the price breaches the neckline support In this example, we can easily see the head and shoulders pattern. How to Trade the Head and Shoulders Pattern: ENTRY: we put an entry order below the neckline. TARGET: We can also calculate a target by measuring the highest point of the head to the neckline.

DXY - Elliott Wave Breakdown ✅Following on from our last post on DXY, we have moved up a considerable amount. In our last post we identified the higher timeframe impulsive move and waited for a catalyst, NFP, to move the market in our direction. See our previous post below: In Elliott Wave Theory, the impulsive wave can be broken down into the following 5 waves: Wave 1 - is made up of 5 subwaves (impulse) Wave 2 - Is a corrective wave made up of 3 waves (ABC correction) Wave 3 - is another impulse wave made up of 5 subwaves (impulse) Wave 4 - is a corrective wave made up of 3 waves (ABC correction) Wave 5 - Can be either an impulse or a correction - But its made up of 5 waves. In this scenario, the 5th wave is appearing to be an impulsive move. We have a channel which we will be using as a guide to help us identify when the 5th wave will finish. The way to use DXY is by doing the following: Bullish DXY = USD Strength. Bearish DXY = USD weakness 1. Analyse DXY for reversal zones and identify what the next move is 2. In our last post, we identified a reversal zone and we were waiting for NFP to be the catalyst to get the market moving (FEB 4th) 3. When DXY approaches the reversal zone, we go on to USD pairs and analyse them 4. Find a pair where you think USD will bounce/reject (depending on whether you're trading USD/XXX or XXX/USD) e.g. in the VIP, we correlated DXY with EURUSD. We identified that we were bullish DXY = Bearish EURUSD. We had a trade setup ready and we were waiting for confirmation. See below for the the VIP setup we had. Went into 10pip drawdown and hit TP of over 500pips = 1:50 RR. Hope this post helped a little! Goodluck and as always, trade safe!

Timing the Market Using Tether DominanceI always emphasize that time in the market beats timing the market, but I want to share an interesting approach that you can consider taking when timing the cryptocurrency market, especially when it comes to Bitcoin's overall direction. This is not financial advice. This is for educational purposes only. Tether Dominance - Just as Bitcoin dominance refers to Bitcoin's market cap relative to that of the entire market cap, Tether dominance is no different. - It refers to how much capital is parked in stablecoins, specifically Tether, at any point in time. - Since Tether (USDT) is a stablecoin that tracksthe USD, an increase in Tether dominance suggests a pullback or correction in cryptocurrencies. - A simple way to understand it is to think of USD flowing in and out of the market. - On the other hand, if Tether dominance drops, it means that more capital is being deployed to purchase cryptocurrencies, which is bullish overall for the market. - If you look at the graph above, you'll clearly see the inverse correlation between Bitcoin (orange) and Tether dominance (black). - Key support and resistance zones for Tether dominance are marked as well. - As we're currently trading slightly above local support, marked in green, if we see Tether Dominance fall below those levels, we could expect Bitcoin to continue rallying upwards. Bitcoin Daily Chart Analysis - We've tested Bitcoin's yearly open price at $47.2k, and failed to break above the 200 simple moving average (purple). - Bitcoin has retraced to $45-46k levels, which is a completely anticipated move considering that pullbacks can take place upon breakouts. - As the overall structure remains bullish, and we see the moving averages cross again, aligning in order for a bull rally, I expect us to retest $50k ranges again. - Whether we get rejected at those levels, or break through it is unclear, but we'll take it by levels as we always do. Conclusion With Tether dominance currently barely holding local support, I think there's a high probability that we see those support levels break down, and see Bitcoin rally upwards once again. This is definitely an indicator that you want to continuously refer to as you trade. If you like this educational post, please make sure to like, and follow for more quality content!

GOLD'S NEXT MOVE?Little educational post for you guys! If my analysis is correct & the current uptrend is Wave 5, an effective way to estimate how far this last bullish cycle will go is to go back & look at Wave 1, when Gold first started its uptrend in 2006. Wave 1 & Wave 5 tend to be very similar in how many PIPS they move, with a few hundreds PIPS difference which is very accurate for higher TF analysis. I have done this on my chart & it shows me where Wave 5 will possibly end before correcting itself over the next few years! Do this for yourself & you'll find the results you're looking for. I have covered out the price it could go to as it'll only be exclusive on the Market Breakdown Report for Investors. Markets are looking juicy for the foreseeable future🦾

Most of the time, you will observe a correction.Today we will go through a simple trading lesson, but an effective one. The example I will be using today in terms of timeframes is mainly focused on Swing Traders; however, these principles remain valid for any timeframe because of the fractal characteristic of the market. Also, this will be a bullish example, but the same principles apply to bearish examples. Here, you will have a 4 step process to understand how to improve your executions on any asset. 1)Major Daily Trendline: This is the main structure I have as context. The structure or trend must be evident, such as 300 days bearish trend, where we can draw a descending trendline. It's crucial when looking at these structures to see if they are close to a "major" support zone or if they have already made contact with them. That would be optimal! (Here I would use the weekly timeframe) 2)Breakout: Assuming that the previous conditions on item 1 were fulfilled, now we are in a situation where we can expect a change in direction, and we are interested in developing a setup on the new "expected impulse." Most people fail in developing a good setup because they trade the first breakout of the structure, thinking that the price will skyrocket. As a general rule, consider this: "Never trust the first breakout" This takes us to the next item. 3)Correction: After the breakout of a major structure like the daily trend of the last 300 days or more, we want to see a correction! Here corrections will tend to show some proportion to the previous structure the price is coming from. I draw an ABC pattern on this template, but the main idea is that you want to observe a clear retracement from the breakout where the price tests the broken trendline again or at least makes a clear consolidation of a few days. 4) Setup: Now that we observed all the previous sequences, we can easily develop setups: Pending Stop order for our Entry-level above "B" on the flag pattern. Then, stop loss below "C" or, in other words, below the correction. Finally, take profit on the next MAJOR resistance level. Why do this? Because you are adding filters before trading, and that way you need the price to fulfilled certain conditions which will have three major improvements: Increase the odds of engaging on a high-quality setup and the 2nd one avoid low-quality scenarios or fakeouts. Also, you will avoid overtrading because you need CONTEXT. Thanks for reading, feel free to ask all your questions or more information related to this in the comments ;)

DXY - How To Use DXY To Enter Trades 🎯For almost a year DXY has been in an uptrend but we may soon be at the end. Last Friday, DXY closed with a bearish candle at the double top region, indicating that there are al lot of sellers at that level. If we continue to show bearish pressure, we can soon end that uptrend and take advantage of USD weakness across the board. Here's a brief breakdown on how to use DXY: DXY up = USD Strength. DXY down = USD weakness 1. Analyse DXY for reversal zones and identify what the next move is 2. On this chart we can see that DXY is indicating bearish price action 3. Now that DXY is at an important level, go on to your USD pairs and analyse them 4. Find out if there's any XXXUSD LONG ideas or if there's any USDXXX pairs that are at the best place to SELL 5. Correlate the DXY movement with the USD charts e.g. DXY showing bearish price action which makes EURUSD buy a great idea as EURUSD is at a key level. Hope that helps! Goodluck and as always, Trade Safe!

How do you trade with Correlation?How do you trade with Correlation? You can trade on forex pair correlations by identifying which currency pairs have a positive or negative correlation to each other. I have identified above the 3 main correlation pairs which correlate best with each other. In the conventional sense, you would open two of the same positions if the correlation was positive, or two opposing positions if the correlation was negative, for example when OIL increases in value, the Canadian Dollar tends to increase in value. This is because Canada is among the top 5 oil producing and exporting countries making them directly correlate. CHF & GOLD Correlation Both the Swiss Franc (CHF) and physical gold have acted as reserve 'currencies' thereby establishing a relationship between the gold price and Swiss Franc . Despite some differences, the Swiss Franc and the gold price are correlated and the similarities shared by the two can be clearly identified. This the Swiss National Bank has a huge amount of Gold Reserves and is one of the largest possessors of gold reserves worldwide. This also gives the Swiss Franc direct correlation with gold as the government passed a legislation that the Swiss Franc must be backed by gold . Why is it important Correlation is important when trading your strategy as you can manipulate the market and gain more confluences to confirm your entries. For example if you are focusing on the Canadian Dollar and can see a bullish trend and an entry point, OIL must also be bullish due to the correlation and you can confirm your analogy as you have analysed 2 correlating pairs which are both bullish .

XAG/USD EVERY SUNDAY LIVE ZOOM ANALYSISThe gold & silver market is pushing significantly higher, following a significant miss in the U.S. labor market with fewer jobs created in August. Friday, the U.S. Labor Department said that 235,000 jobs were created last month. The data was weaker than expected as consensus forecasts called for jobs gains of 720,000. While the headline data saw a significant miss, the Labor Department included substantial revisions to its June and July numbers. June's employment numbers were revised up by 24,000 to 962,000 from the previous estimate of 938,000. Meanwhile, July's data was revised up to 1.053 million jobs compared to the initial estimate of 943,000. However, some economists note that the strong revisions are not enough to take the full sting out of the disappointing headline numbers. Meanwhile, the U.S. unemployment rate dropped to 5.2%, down from July's reading of 5.4%. The unemployment rate fell in line with expectations. The gold market has broken through critical near-term support levels in initial reaction to the weaker-than-expected employment data. December gold futures last traded at $1,827.10, up nearly 1% on the day. Not only was job growth weaker last month, but positive for gold, wage inflation continues to creep higher. The report said that wages rose 0.6% in August, up from July's 0.4% increase. Economists were expecting to see a 0.3% increase. A lot of focus had been placed on the August employment numbers. Many Federal Reserve officials noted that a strong number could prompt them to launch their plans to reduce their monthly bond purchases. However, some economists say the disappointing data could force the central bank to delay those plans. "This disappointing report will make it a closer call than we expected for a September tapering announcement from the Fed," said Katherine Judge, senior economist at CIBC. Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics, said that the latest employment numbers puts the Federal Reserve in a very difficult position. He noted that the economic data shows the COVID-19 pandemic and the spreading Delta Variant is impacting the current recovery. “Even allowing for the fact that first estimates for August often disappoint on the downside, the extent of the slowdown in jobs growth all-but rules out any tapering announcement at this month's FOMC meeting and, if this weakness persists, then it could be pushed into early next year.
