Believe in the Gods! -->🔱--< But do not count on them for help Dollar Bulls Take the Win? We have dropped below our Last Daily Zone at 1.09219. I have been talking about dollar bulls Since we had FOMC data coincide with our extreme highs at 1.1095. A Coincidence? I thought this may be Suspicious! And it turned out that way. That was a good tell for the beginning of this descent. FOMC was last Wednesday and dollar bulls have blessed swing traders with 190 Pips in 1 Week. Everyone says EU is Weak in comparison to the # of pips it gives to most other pairs... It Doesn't give that much , heh 😉. It Respects level's very nicely! Very clean price actionnn. From a Technical Standpoint.. As Long as we stay below 1.09211, only sells for the rest of week. The Price I like are 1.0897 as the next Pit stop. Ultimately with Friday's daily candle I'm liking 1.0866 Weekly Level as mentioned in previous publishing's. Also I like the Daily level just beyond that at 1.08535. As long as NY and our last remaining 4Hr Candle prints below 1.09219, Sells are fantastic. I would prefer that we waste no time and close below 1.09112 4Hr zone. Trading : Trading today went quite well. Looking at my data.. my Thursdays are typically good. --<< I've seen that remark impact my trading psychology before. The brain is a wonder. Managing trading psychology is a large part of trading. Given that I am profitable, I still cut my winners a bit short sometimes. Why? Out of Fear. Complicated.. But for now we must stay consistent and discplined to the system. the trading plan. 3 Setups today.. The First one I ran because i was scared and closed for B.E. It would've been a nice +5 Pip scalp. The Second was a great. Just closed a little early. The third was a great! Closed a little early once again. I can complain because green is green. Profit is profit and we must learn and move onto the next day. On Thursday's.. 1. The Market sets itself up early in the week. By the time Thursday comes around, the weekly candle is ready to extend itself in the preceding direction from Monday/Tuesday Etc. 2. New and Struggling Traders are Tired and Exhausted from trading since Monday. They begin to make mistakes and become sloppy with their execution. Leading to larger losses than are necessary. I have been there.

[ CPI ] : A Catalyst for Optimism? 🏳‍🟧‍⬛‍🟧- The Weekly candle pulled back up after creasing last week's low - The Daily Candle yesterday closed in between our Daily Level's 1.09715 and 1.09495 - This was good for bulls as I mentioned because we closed above 1.09495 - Either way Eurusd was still technically inside our overarching Daily range between 1.106 Daily/Weekly level and 1.09495 Daily Level - CPI Coincided with a Bounce off Daily Support at 1.09495! How Beautiful. I mentioned this occurrence in my update on my previous 2 Posts. CPI decreased signaling optimism for markets. Inflation is decreasing and is on a smooth downward projectory. -Now will we observe a continued change of character with CPI data as the catalyst. We reject our lower prices and bottom part of the range and go back to 1.106 Daily/weekly Level. -Our first pit stop to the upside being Monda's Daily Level at 1.10226? -Price is currently at . If the Daily candle closes like this I say yes. But we must observe how the daily candle closes and if there is a follow through after the Initial bounce from CPI on the 1Hr TF. -The 4Hr Timeframe closed beautifully rejecting our Support areas below + We must observe if the 4hr zone which coincides with our daily level at 1.09715 can hold for more upside + We must consider that we often see a correction of news price action. It can take 2-3 Hours, 1-3 Trading sessions , or 1-2 trading days. We would observe a correction down to 1.09456 More Analysis: Trading went well as I earned profits with reduced position size due to increased news volatility. I made a few mistakes but overall I can't complain with a +.65% profit on the session and and similar +.60% gain during yesterday's Asian Session. It makes up for the tough trading Day I had on Tuesday and plus some. I do want to learn from my mistakes so I will be doing some further reflecting .

Would like to be proven wrong Bulls! Eurusd 💶We have printed two Bullish Monthly Candles back to back. The first week of this current monthly candle for May 23' has closed as an indecision candle. I am gravitating towards the Bull side but would not be surprised to see more of a sell off after the May FOMC decision The FOMC decision to raise rates by 25 basis points coincided with our extreme highs of the Year around the 1.105 Weekly Level In a way I want to be proven wrong on the Sell Side for EU. I want to see Buyers stay strong around our extreme Highs here in the 1.10's and not be phased by a short term descent in price as FOMC price action settled after the initial announcement. I would like to see buyers at 1.09718 and 1.09480 Daily Level's be taken out before any more of an ascent occurs. The Price I'm looking for is 1.09176 Daily Level. To begin the week before CPI data on Wednesday I will be looking for price to pullback but will be happy if proven wrong instead with price displaying a quick ascent back to 1.1095 and beyond with CPI numbers.

Buyers want 1.1024 4Hr Zone Holdd.. before potential Avalanche ⛄Scalping, Scalpingg. Has taken my heart. Discipline and Patience. Aggressive when it times to be aggressive. Fearless when it's time to be fearless. Trust in thy system and process. And Gold to be attracted to thy pocket with time and accumulate in ever increasing quantities. Will bulls hold 1.1024 4hr Zone? Or as the Daily candle flips bearish at 1.10239 will bears take us back to Support on the daily timeframe once more at 1.09718. 1.10148 Current Daily Low being the current Daily Low --> 1.10148 is a 1Hr Zone and our last potential Support before I see Sellers taking over once again. The 1hr timeframe and 4hr timeframe have clean traffic to the left hand side and we should mirror those as we go back down. CPI on wednesday will most definitely shake things up. Early in the week we have seen the market be proped up by Asian session buying. Will this buying pressure be sustained? Bulls + Monthly Candle is Bullish + New Weekly Candle gapped up and is Bullish + Friday Daily Candle Closed bullish + the first 1hr of our new 4hr candle jsut closed Bullish above 1.104 + 4Hr market structure is Bullish + A bullish Asian session to begin the week. Price has been consolidating since London Session open with 1Hr candles printing in a tight range +De-Dollarization appears to be more evident than ever Bears the 9am GMT 4hr candle closed below 1.104 4Hr Level Price is still holding steadily below 1.10590 Weekly Level Price is leaving a Top wick appearing to reject Daily Level 1.1059 The weekly candle last week printed a Lower Low and a Lower High on that timeframe.

CFD Update: FRA40 pushing at a new leg higher?Today's focus FRA40 CAC Pattern – Support hold - continuation - HL Possible targets – 7465 - 7600 Support – 7315 - 7360 Resistance – 7460 (ST) Indicator support – CCi close to 0 cross – 38.2 fib area Could we see a new leg higher on the FRA40? After Monday's holiday, price has opened lower on Tuesday, but there are a few bullish signs we are watching that could suggest a new push higher. Price formed an HL in the 38.2 fib area, support has been formed, and we see the support hold from a previous point of resistance. Price broke through the trendline, but we still need to see a new rally to confirm that. A new lower that closes below support is worry and could invalidate the idea. Another factor is tomorrow's US CPI data. Depending on what’s released, this could impact US indices and, in turn, move European indices. The Core is expected to come in lower, with Y/Y flat at 5.0% and the M/M higher at 0.4%. The CPI data is due to be released at 8:30 am EST tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by. Good trading, and have a great day.

💵 Dollar Buyers Pile Back in with NFP DataWell Dollar Buyers Piled back in with positive Jobs data. Eurusd returned back to the bottom of the range for the 3rd time in 2 Weeks. Our Daily Levels being 1.097 and 1.095. Quite the week for Swing traders and Scalpers playing the range.. Like who cares about breakouts anymore 😂. We were anticpating this data to take us out of the range and up to 1.115 but that is for another day. The Weekly candle will either Pullback up or continue dropping to end the week. It appears that we may be going to correct the NFP release at 1.10111. This occurs a majority of the time. The timing can be quite tricky however. I've seen it take 2-3 Days or 2-3 Trading Session or even 2-3 Hours. Yes, or even less than an hour. Either way have a great weekend. No trades today because the sum of my Previous 5 Friday's were profitable BUT only on 20% of the days. I had a Big Friday in Late March which brings the sum of my recent Friday's to a positive. If I had traded today I would have done well. But as mentioned previously the majority of Friday's are a Small Loss or Break even. It's Friday and even though I'm overall up on the sum of my friday's, I would rather save my energy and go enjoy the weekend. This doesn't mean that I can't still watch the charts. I did. I had a B.E. week. It's better than a Losing Week! Another week of experience under the belt. Safe Trading.

May FOMC announcment 🫨Do we have enough steam to take us to 1.11500? Anticipating that rates stay the same and that the May Decision is Bullish. Planning since Staurday this past weekend that we may be onto something here. My Belief is that May Decision is viewed as an Optimistic data point. Preparing for a fall to 1.086 if not the case. Safe Trading. I'll be looking for opportunities about 1hr after the announcment once we have momentum and determined the direction with lowerd lot size and FOLLOW you TRADING PLAN. Okay good luck and safe trading.

Inflation Data 📊 Favoring BreakoutHas EUR Topped out and has GDP been enough to put the nail in the coffin? Price is continuing to reject extreme prices and this was anticipated from 1.1045 and 1.1056 Higher time frame level's. However Buy Side took over to close out the NY Session. Maybe this is a precursor to a Bullish /Optiumistic CPI release tomorrow and a rise in EU. This is my Bias for the last Asian session of the week. More Analysis: We may retest 1.10 1Hr Zone during Asian Session. It is wise to be weary of the fact that we are in a range on the Daily TF between 1.1045 and 1.0973. I was anticipating that we would keep pushing and do a continuation for NY session which we did, sort of at least back to the lows which was momentum from the news release. But these low prices didnt hold and the Daily cnalde is pulling back up to end off the session.

1.1056 Weekly Level Says " Not Today " 🔊 EURUSDLondon Session -- London Volume pushed us hard back up to the Highs. Sellers caught as the Tide went out. New York Session -- "Wait for me I want buys too" London Close -- " Let's Buy I dont want to Miss out" The "Breakout" was corrected shortly after as Buyers TP and Shorts Say " wait before we breakout we must come back down to earth" . If we go up we are going to next weekly level at 1.145 If we go down this will be a triple top on the Daily Timeframe as this daily cnadle comes to a close and leaves a wick rejection failing to close above yesterdays close as Shorts begin to get crowded as we prepare for a 1.095 retest once again. GDP will give us insight on where traders are setting up their positions to hold through Firdya's CPI data. Price is fooling around at the Highs of Structure. Shaking both sides.

Is there an Ocean Floor? 🌊 EurUsdWe have Seen 2 Colossal moves on EU in the last Day. Yesterday was tremendous buys to begin the week as Every Session saw a bullish push up to HTF Levels and Extreme prices around 1.105. For Breakout Traders we saw a Trap near Weekly Highs at Weekly Level 1.1056. Why would you place buys up there without a Daily candle close confirmation above 1.1045 Daily level IDK to be honest. Yet it was still brutal for buyers as price dropped back to more attractive prices. I was one of the buyers but I flipped my bias bearish as mentioned in Yesterday's publishing. I stated that " For better buys one of the previous 1Hr Zones at 1.1045 or 1.1027 or if we pull back harder.. maybe we'll consider more short term downside because it is quite early in the week " . So based off this I let go of my Ego and began taking sells and it went well. Moral of the story.. follow your trading plan and utitlize tight risk management. Taking a step away from the computer and going AFK can help with psychology enormously. The brain is able to do a reset and when you return, it's in a more optimal state. With that said More Analysis : Looking for a pullback to 1.098 4Hr Zone for Asian and continuation of momentum to the downside. Observing the potential Daily Candle bearish engulfing and hard push to upside early in the week on Mondya, I like more opportunities to the downside. Weekly target is looking like 1.086 which would be a break and retest on the Weekly timeframe. 1.086 being a weekly Level. For buys I would like to see support at 1.0953, maybe consolidate and move up from there.

Correction Imminent for Liquidity? 🏔️ Eur/UsdLooking for a Correction because price is going straight up. The New 4Hr Candle may be the catalyst for an Asian Session Pullback before the 2nd London Session of the week kicks off. As we approach London Session we will see more volume arrive and anticipating potential corrective structure. The RR is worth a short although you should never walk in front of a train unless you have confluences and a good RR Idea. Anticipating corrective structure during this session and London Session. For Buyers maybe a retest of Broken Weekly Level 1.1058 for more aggressive buys. For better buys one of the previous 1Hr Zones at 1.1045 or 1.1027 or if we pull back harder.. maybe we'll consider more short term downside because it is quite early in the week. 1.1075 Weekly wick Fill from 2nd Week April is likely considering we just had a strong Daily candle close (at) 1.1045 Daily level. We closed below our Weekly Level at 1.1058. So no most optimal buy scenario for continuation here but we'll see. More Analysis: Taking Buys today throughout NY Session was straight forward as we had the NY 4Hr candle close above 1.102. This gave me confidence to take buys throughout the session. Although we had a tough time at first, we kept trading and my system ended the first trading day of the week on a positive note ( No pun intended ). Sometimes my entries are a bit sloppy as I can be quite impatient. This is why I am a Scalper however as it is more suiting towards my persnaility anbd trading style. However, Risk Management is especially significant with a scalping strategy as although wins come faster same do cost's of business.

EU Slides 🛝 and Dollar ReignitesPrice is currently In a Range between 1.0952 and 1.0988 on the 4Hr. We have extreme short term prices at 1.10. We have multiple wicks here and we can bet probably that there will be a downside reaction for bears after we hit this area. It is also a psychological area for everyone on all TF's. Hawkish remarks by Fed recently don't necessarily appear to have drastic short term consequences but we may quickly have that answered as we begin the new week. We have price funneling up on the line chart on our intradday charts. We have alot of free liquidity waiting to be realeased if we can close and hold above 1.10 extreme prices//psychological area. 1.0871 is weekly target frr bears, the next daily zone below prev strucutre

EURUSD - NO LONGS UNTIL WE FILL THE 4H INBALANCEGood afternoon traders, I hope this video will provide you some value on remaining patient and not rushing into longs on EU until we have reached a discount market and filled the 4h inbalance. We certainly have unfinished business on EU and the daily chart has shown no indication of going short any time soon. However, it is important to note that when equal lows as perfect as this are printed - we should remain vigilant and not enter based on these 'support' levels and instead wait for a stop hunt below. I will provide an update once/if price retraces below these lows. Best wishes, Jake
