AUD/USD: Smart Money Loading Up or Another Trap?AUD/USD – Bullish Momentum or Liquidity Grab? Technical Breakdown: The Australian Dollar vs. US Dollar (AUD/USD) is showing an interesting setup, with price action hinting at potential continuation to the upside. Let’s dive into the analysis across multiple timeframes to see if buyers are in control or if we’re facing another liquidity trap. Weekly Timeframe: • AUD/USD experienced a strong bearish move after reaching 0.6938 in September 2024, followed by a relentless downtrend to 0.6085 by mid-November. • Since then, we’ve seen a three-week bullish push off the lows, suggesting a potential shift in sentiment. • A higher low has been established, but the key question remains: Will buyers maintain control? Daily Timeframe: • A structural break above 0.6311 signals bullish intent. • The market previously swept early buyers, forming a double bottom, before pushing back above resistance. • Current price action is retesting this level, potentially building liquidity for the next leg up. H4 Timeframe (Trade Execution Level): • Price printed a higher low at 0.6371, and bullish momentum is attempting to reclaim the recent highs. • A strong bearish retracement provided a potential early buy entry, setting up a high reward-to-risk trade. • If price holds above the 0.6359 entry zone, we could see further upside targets. Entry & Risk Management: • Entry: 0.6359 • Stop Loss: 0.6371 (tight 5-pip stop) • First Target: 0.6408 (1:6 RR) • Final Target: 0.6446 (1:9-1:10 RR) Market Psychology & Liquidity Play: • Many traders chased the highs and placed stop losses below local support—these were swept out. • A large bullish volume candle remains significant, hinting at strength in buyers. • If the market sustains momentum, we could see a move toward higher resistance at 0.6446. Conclusion: AUD/USD is setting up for a potential bullish breakout, but traders must watch for confirmations on lower timeframes. If price structure holds, this could be a highly profitable swing trade. Like this breakdown? Follow, boost the post, and drop your thoughts in the comments! Let’s see where AUD/USD heads next.

Overtrading Chaos: Classroom Insights & Quick FixesWatching my students get caught up in the whirlwind of overtrading was like watching a rollercoaster ride gone wrong - all that excitement turned into stress, quick decisions based on gut feelings rather than strategy, and seeing their accounts shrink before my eyes. Here's what I've noticed firsthand: -Emotion Over Logic: They were making choices fueled by the fear of missing out or trying to get back at the market after a loss, not because it was the smart move. Spot on. Emotional trading is the quickest path to financial ruin. It's all about managing those emotions. -Exhaustion: The constant screen time was draining them, both physically and mentally. This is why I always preach about the importance of having a life outside of trading. Burnout is real and it clouds judgment. -Costly Habits: Those small fees and spreads started adding up, eating away at their profits with each impulsive trade. Always remember, every trade has a cost. Overtrading is like death by a thousand cuts. But here’s the good news - I've got some immediate steps I take to turn things around: 1)Trade Log Love: I get them to write down every trade, focusing on the reasons behind their decisions. It’s amazing how this simple act helps them learn from their actions. A trade log isn't just about accountability; it's about education. Every trade is a lesson. 2)Take a Breather: I enforce a little break after each trade. It's like hitting the reset button for your brain, ensuring the next trade isn't just a reaction to the last. This is critical. It’s about breaking the cycle of reactive trading. Think of it as forced discipline. 3)Quality Time: I shift the focus to waiting for those golden opportunities, teaching them that sometimes the best trade is the one you don't make. Patience in trading is not just a virtue; it's a strategy. The markets reward those who wait for the right moment. Come join me as I navigate through the overtrading storm, helping my students, and maybe you too, become more thoughtful, strategic traders! This is what I call practical wisdom. Overtrading is a symptom of not having a solid plan. I'd recommend this course of action to any trader looking to turn their habits around. Kris/Mindbloome Exchange Trade Smarter Live Better

#ES_F Day Trading Prep Week 2.16 - 2.21Last Week : Sunday Globex again opened on a gap down just like previous week but this time it opened right at lower VAH and got a push back into over 6074 - 54 Edge. Holding over 6050s and inside/over the Edge meant stability for the market which brough in more buying but as we can see it took us a whole week of consolidating under VAL before we were able to push into upper Value towards the end of the week. We pushed into the Mean right up against our previous Supply area and that served as good resistance to keep us in small balance to finish the week on Friday. This Week : Tricky spot we find ourself in this week, on higher time frames like Monthly we are having inside month, weekly we are still holding sideways/up trend inside this 6230s - 5950s balance but one thing to note is we have mostly been back and forth between this balances Mean area and the low, so far dips under the low kept getting bought but we are not really getting any upside or holds over the Mean areas which could mean no acceptance inside it to cause continuation towards the top. On Daily TF we have been holding over between the Daily upper Edge of 6073 - 43 and upper Daily VAL of 6144 - 25 where we found balance to end the week on Friday. Going into this week we are again inside the Value of this 6074 - 6195 Hourly's range and there are few things we can watch from here. If the market has truly accepted inside this range then we may hold inside the Value which will mean ranges will tighten up and we look to balance inside Current Intraday Range of 6155 - 6114, we have supply over 6144 so any pushes over it towards 6155 could find their way back into the Mean and we could see covering under 6125 over VAL. BUT something we have to watch out for is IF we again fail inside this Value and get into/under VAL this will be our first signal for a failure which can bring in weakness towards lower Edge, IF that happens and we find ourself inside lower Edge under 6074 - 60s that would confirm the failure and may bring in more weakness for market to try and go find Value lower, we do have lots of HTF stops lined up under us which would keep bringing weakness if we start taking them. We don't have any market moving data until Fed on Wednesday which could mean a slow start to the week and we must be careful forcing for downside IF we are holding over VAL because that keeps us stable. Of course IF we do again open on a gap down like we did last 2 weeks then that could change things BUT this time around IF we do then we need to be careful looking for a full return back like we had last 2 times. For more strength out of this Value we would want price first show us holds over 6144 AND find stronger buying that can take us into/over upper VAH, until this happens we really need to watch out over 6140 as we may finish this month either inside +/- month inside this Value under 6160s OR since its our 3rd month in these areas without any upside, we could see size sell us back down towards Monthly balance lows which are down at 5950s.

TOSH/USD Long Setup: OTE + Fake Supply zone reclaimed I've spotted a great long opportunity on TOSH/USD using a combination of advanced market analysis techniques: 1️⃣ Liquidity grab below recent lows, clearing out impatient buyers. 2️⃣ Entry at the OTE zone (Optimal Trade Entry) between 61.8% and 78.6% Fibonacci retracement, a key area for strong rejections. 3️⃣ A fake supply zone has been reclaimed, signaling bullish intent. 🎯 Trade Details: Entry: 0.0006900 (validated in the OTE zone). Context: Liquidity sweep below support followed by a bullish re-entry. Confirmation: Clean reclaim of the fake supply zone with momentum. Stop Loss: Below the last swing low for proper risk management. Take Profits: TP1: Previous Higher High (HH). 🚀 📊 Plan: I’m watching for strong confirmation in the OTE zone and increased volume as the fake supply zone is reclaimed. Risk management is key—position sizing is based on capital and stop-loss placement. This is not financial advice, just my personal setup idea based on market structure. What’s your take? Let me know below! 👇"

GBP/JPY Market Shift or Liquidity Grab? Here’s What I’m Seeing!Yesterday, we were focused on GBP/JPY selling off after a major support break, but today’s price action is revealing a potential shift in momentum. While the larger structure still suggests a bearish outlook, recent price behavior is showing signs of a liquidity grab before any major move. On the H4 and H1 timeframes, we’re seeing slow but steady higher highs forming after a key support at 191.58 held. This suggests that before any deeper drop, GBP/JPY may need to sweep liquidity above recent highs at 192.50 and 193.18. The price action is creeping upward, with candle closures above key resistance levels—a major sign of potential upside before sellers truly take control. Here’s what I’m watching: 📌 A breakout and liquidity sweep above 193.18 before a possible reversal 📌 Holding above 192.50 could indicate a continued bullish push toward 194.74 📌 If buyers fail and price rejects the highs, we may see a strong downside continuation This is a crucial turning point—will GBP/JPY fake out buyers before dumping, or are we seeing the start of a larger move up?

GBPCHF: Range BreakoutThis range breakout follows the same pattern as my other idea on CADCHF. In a very similar fashion, price has been in a range since September 2024. The upper range boundary has shown signs of weakening or breaching a couple of times over the past few months. However, price recently closed above this range level over the past two days, which indicates a higher probability of sustained breakout. The daily ATR is currently 64.3 pips. This sets my trading parameters at TP 32 and SL 64. Note that I'm only targeting 0.5x ATR because I scale into positions, but I also want to ensure I'm able to secure a profit with minimal holding costs.
