We may also observe that the market is pulling down into the close of the monthly candle. The same concept which you may hear me talk about with the weekly candle pulling down or pulling bak into the close of a weekly candle.. just on a larger scale. The Monthly candle here has pulled down 165 pips into the candle close vs on the weekly timeframe we may observe a 40-80 pip move into the candle closure. Now we have seen quite the move down and there were a few traders looking to take longs at the beginning of the week, little early but i think the time is nearing for a possible pullback with london or NY session. This is because we observed quite a large volatile move to the downside. Asian session has pulled up when typically it has been pulling down across the past few days.. foreshadowing possible retracement. Either way, flexibility is one of the best qualities to exercise as a scalper. We will be open- minded and patient with entries and exits when approaching risk. We have reached a psychological number and this coincides Eurusd approaching the lows of the year at 1.08486. Our next tsrgt for shorts is 1.04609 daily level. Our retracement target is 1.05419 or 1.056 4hr resistance level. GDP is anticpated to be good for the USD so this could provide a catlayst for a bear continuation. If it misses , then we may anticpate a retracement. This is the logical approach, but we all know the market isn't always logical but often irrational.
If you've read this far, leave a comment and a rocket and I will see you in the next analysis. Cheers.

If you are new to the markets, that last sentence is probably a bit confusing. But really all it sums up to is that the market moves down in methodical steps. This may not always be the case however... Similar to a ladder and different from a silde. The market will drop suddenly and slide deeply in a panic similar to the Stock market crash of 2020 with Covid-19. All support level's failed and liquidity was swept through due to a change in fundamentals. The forex market has much more volume and therefore will not slide as easily vs the stock market which runs on lower liquidity. We are talking about medium-long term slides across days and weeks or even months. In the short term however, fundamental releases can cause the FX market to slide 10's of pips in a matter of seconds. Being inclined towards a scalping style, it is especially important to be aware of these short term slides which could wipeout a sizable portion of a trading account.
Price action to begin the week:
Weekly level 1.0663 is especially relevant and may facilitate a selloff back to the lows 1.0613. If we do push higher, we may tap into 1.0691 daily resistance level before seeing more selling pressure. 1.054 is the weekly bearish target for this week and our first stop will be 1.0576 daily level where we may observe some profit taking. Bullish targets on the week include 1.075 daily resistace zone. For this scenario, would prefer a daily closure above 1.0691 daily level.
EUR/USD: Euro Trims Losses Against US Dollar Post-Fed EventEuro Trims Losses Against US Dollar Post-Fed Event
In the aftermath of the recent Federal Reserve (Fed) event, the Euro (EUR) found itself on a backfoot against the US Dollar (USD), but it managed to regain some ground. Here's a look at the key events and dynamics shaping the EUR/USD currency pair's movement.
Euro in Decline Post-Fed:
The Euro had been facing downward pressure against the US Dollar as the market digested the implications of the Federal Reserve's recent actions. Stocks in Europe opened Thursday's trading session in the red, reflecting a cautious sentiment in the market.
EUR/USD Rebounds:
Despite an early drop to fresh multi-month lows, the Euro managed to stage a modest rebound against the US Dollar. As a result, the EUR/USD pair climbed back above the 1.0650 level during the European trading session on Thursday.
US Dollar Strength Persists:
The US Dollar continued to demonstrate strength, with the USD Index (DXY) reaching new highs. The index approached a six-month high near 105.70, just a few pips away from the year-to-date peak observed on March 8, which was around 105.90.
Fed's Hawkish Stance:
The rebound in the EUR/USD pair coincided with some corrective movements in the short end of the US yield curve, while the belly and long end saw modest gains. This shift in bond yields may have contributed to the Euro's rebound. Following the Fed's meeting, Chairman Jerome Powell emphasized that there is still a considerable path to cover in reaching the target inflation rate of 2%. The Fed decided to maintain current interest rates, but it remains prepared to raise rates when it deems appropriate.
Key Data and Events Ahead:
In the economic calendar for the eurozone, the preliminary reading of Consumer Confidence, tracked by the European Commission, is scheduled for release. Additionally, ECB President Christine Lagarde is expected to deliver a speech, which could provide insights into the central bank's perspective.
In the United States, the focus will be on the usual weekly Initial Jobless Claims data, followed by the Philly Fed Manufacturing Index, the CB Leading Economic Index, and Existing Home Sales. These data points will provide further context for the economic situation in the US.
In summary, the Euro faced early losses against the US Dollar but managed to regain some ground in European trading. The USD's strength persists, with the Fed maintaining a hawkish stance. Key economic data and speeches by central bank officials will be closely monitored for further market direction.
Our preference
Short positions below 1.072 with targets at 1.0610 & 1.0590 in extension.
Euro Still Drops After ECB's Record-High Interest Hike
I must admit that the current state of affairs in the currency market has left me feeling rather disheartened. It is with a heavy heart that I share with you the recent news regarding the euro's ongoing decline, even in the face of the European Central Bank's (ECB) decision to raise interest rates to unprecedented levels.
In a surprising turn of events, the euro has failed to find its footing, despite the ECB's efforts to bolster its value. The announcement of the highest interest rates on record was anticipated to provide a much-needed boost to the struggling currency. However, it appears that the market sentiment has not aligned with our expectations, leaving us in a state of perplexity and disappointment.
As traders, we often rely on historical data, economic indicators, and expert opinions to guide our investment decisions. However, the current situation reminds us that the market can be unpredictable and subject to various external factors. While the ECB's decision was intended to instill confidence in the euro, it seems that other prevailing circumstances are exerting a stronger influence on its downward trajectory.
In light of these developments, I would like to suggest considering a short position on the euro. Although it is disheartening to witness the currency's decline, it is crucial for us to adapt to market conditions and seize opportunities that arise from such situations. By taking a short position, we can potentially benefit from the euro's continued depreciation and mitigate potential losses.
I understand that this suggestion may not align with our initial expectations or desires, but as traders, we must remain adaptable and open to alternative strategies. As the saying goes, "the market is always right," and it is our responsibility to adjust our positions accordingly.
Please feel free to comment below if you would like to discuss this further or explore other potential trading opportunities. I value your expertise and would appreciate your input on the matter.

EUR/USD Daily Chart Analysis For Week of September 22, 2023Technical Analysis and Outlook:
In this week's trading, the Eurodollar fulfilled its legacy by completing our Outer Currency Dip of 1.062 with an intermediate rebound retest to Mean Res 1.070 and 1.075 possibilities. The next major down target is the Outer Currency Dip of 1.050.

Fueled by Inflation data and technical confirmations, the market has continued is descent time & again. Tuesday Wednesday and thursday have closed bearish. We have established momentum in the market and I believe it is likely that we contiue on this path to end the week. The weekly can may continue to pull to the downside as it is currently bearish and has a 77 pips top wick. The thursday daily candle closed bearish and we have a wick to go fill with momentum. The market set itself up early in the week as it was bullish on monday and observed bullish impulses on tuesday and wednesday. Thursday saw a continuation of the bear momentum established on wednesday and I believe we may also see a continuatiion on Friday. It is easier trading with the trend.. and they do say .. the trend is your friend.
With that said, we must remain flexible when trading the markets and our success across time realy depends on our ability to adapt to the changing market conditions.

At times the market has coincided it's bottom or top with a News release. Today we have the September Interest Rates release as our fundamental catalyst for a potential bearish squeeze. We have 9 Bearish candles in a row. I was wrong last week about EurUsd longs so maybe I'm at fault here and this scenario is a long shot, no pun intended. We saw Profit taking on Fridaylast week and the market inched to the upside. On Monday we saw a clean range followed by a breakout to the upside on the intra-day timeframes during NY session. Today we observed a breakout to the upside once again with London Session. When NY session came around , price said " Not Yet" as we have Interest rates coming up and it was not the right time. We just ranged today prior to interest rates as one could expect. What I'm looking for is a move prior to news or a wick with news between 1.064 daily support level and 1.066 weekly support level preceding an increase back to 1.075 Daily resistance Zoneish. Not anticipating a rate hike or a rate cut as things will likely remain unchanged as we've already observed the fastest rate hike ever.

There are a few scenarios that we can observe here for Eurusd this week .
1. Eurusd Pulls up prior to Interest rates ( Stays above 1.065 Daily support zone) and continues to retrace with Interest rates remaining the same or cut 25 points
2. Eurusd Pullback early in the week( 1.0706 & 1.0754) as we are currently observing which precedes a continuation to the downside (1.0608 & 1.055) with Interest rates as the catalyst
3. Eurusd rate increase and EURUSD bearish Continuation towards 1.055 Monthly/weekly support level
So price has continued to retrace EUR rate increase, PPI, and retail sales data from last thursday. Consumer sentiment on Friday was not great for USD and price retraced in favor of EUR as well. It's a sort of change of character as sellers ( USD Buyers) do not appear to be in control. Sometimes when you observe a short or medium term top or bottom formulate in the market, it begins with a blowoff push in the direction of the trend. This blowoff is great for those trading with the trend, but if those traders don't Take Profit they go into denial as price retraces and retraces against them. This move on thursday 9/14 is a 100 pips blowoff that may act as our catalyst for a short-medium term reversal in the market.
EUR/USD Daily Chart Analysis For Week of September 15, 2023Technical Analysis and Outlook:
This week, the Eurodollar continued drifting lower following last week, completing our Outer Currency Dip of 1.062. The continuation to the next Outer Currency Dip 1.050 is in progress; however, an intermediate rebound Retest to Mean Res 1.075 is possible.
EUR/USD -14/9/2023-• All technical indicators are pointing to a bearish picture for the Euro
• First, the price broke below an ascending channel since January
• Second, the series of higher lows is being questioned as we are trading at the previous swing low at 1.0630 and bulls really need to defend that level to gain traction
• Third, the price is trading below the 200 MA for more than a week without even testing that level back
• The 2021-2022 1.5 year long down trend was followed by almost a yearly rally which stopped very close to the 61.8% level of that decline, which questions whether the yearly rally that we have seen recently is a major bullish trend or just a correction for the previous major bearish trend
• The level 1.0630 is critical in this scenario and if bears successfully break below it, next support will be 1.05 followed by 1.0220
• Today's dovish ECB statement and Lagarde speech supports the bearish picture as the Euro area growth is slowing and forecasts for the coming months and year remain tilted to the downside

We have alot of rejections at 1.07 Weekly support level beginning from last tuesday. This weekly support level is also a Monthly support level. The Daily timeframe flipped to bullish market strucutre on Monday and still maintains that stance. Though, one could argue that we are simply ranging now. We have higher lows and Higher highs on the 1hr/4hr timeframes. CPI inflation data today pulled price back down to retest the weekly support level once more at 1.07. To be exact it touched into 1.071 but I still count that. Yesterday and especially today price respected what was our previous resistance zone 1.0727 but has now turned into a daily support zone. CPI increased for the second consecutive month and we are moving away from the Fed's target of 2%. That is good for the USD and the higher timeframe momentum favors USD. Given this, we are at a key level on the monthly and weekly timeframes. Volatility has decreased ever since we tapped into the key level's. Also, these fundamental releases act as a short term reversal for the market.. another confluence. Really in trading it's about combining multiple confluences to increase the probabilities for a trade idea.

Understanding these concepts to their core has cost me. I have benefited though from reflecting on the outcomes of these two concepts. Price action will often times clue you on what will happen next. To listen to the price will take time and because you will be inclined to impose your beliefs on the market and invest your energy into solving, well, the wrong problems. Observing where candles close and understanding the nature of volume surrounding 1hr and 4hr candle closures is very important. These concepts make up the core of intra-day trading in the forex market. With that said, I am anticipating a bit of a retrace towards our previous daily resistance zone that may facilitate more longs. Our previous daily resistance was 1.0726 and it can now be characterized as Daily support since market structure flipped on the daily timeframe to bullish.

Price printed a Daily bearish candle today and tapped into Extreme Daily Lows at 1.0688 Daily support zone. It is extreme daily support zone because price bounced 590 Pips off this area last time price was here. The Daily bearish candle today closed above the Extreme Daily lows. Yes the weekly candle is bearish at the moment, but I would not be surprised to see the Weekly candle pullback, and create a larger bottom wick to end the week. Calling the low has a good Risk/Reward and some people are good at spotting mean reversion trades. Be flexible because if the market continues to trend lower, we want to capitalize on that momentum. Interestingly enough, I'm looking forward to this mean reversion trade because of the News catalyst Unemployment Data. News releases can also provide the catalyst for a short term bottom and top in the markets. A good example of this was on June 27th earlier this year. After the news, a short term top was formed and price pulled back 100 pips. Anticipating something similar here.
EURUSD... Bearish-BATWe have XABC, and almost D.
Lets set a limit order.
SL: 15 pips.
TP: 15, 30, 45, 60 pips.
What is the Bat harmonic pattern?
The pattern is a 5-point retracement structure that was discovered in 2001 by Scott Carney. It has particular Fibonacci measurements for every point within its structure. It is necessary to note that D is not a point, but rather a zone in which price is probably going to reverse. This zone is known as the Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ).
The B point retracement of the primary XA leg has to be lower than a 0.618, preferably a 0.50 or 0.382. The PRZ is made up of 3 converging harmonic levels:
0.886 retracement of the primary XA leg
Extended AB=CD chart pattern, mostly 1.27 AB=CD
Minimum BC projection is 1.618

Hello traders. Yes, we did just create a daily support today at 1.0773. However, this support was created during a Bank Holiday and if you've hung around the block long enough in forex you know that Bank Holiday's have low volume and we should acknowledge them accordingly.
If we do end up curling back to the upside here on Eurusd we do have 2 clean ranges on the 1hr and 4hr timeframes so long as we get above 1.08. With that said, the market is not random and we must act accordingly as we may coninue to descend into the depths below as we have been for nearly 2 months now. It is important to be flexible at times this . Bulls and Bear got thrown around last week with a early in the week Bullside push followed by a continuation of higher timeframe momentum to end the week, that also coincided with decent NFP data that was released better than expected. It is possible that we will soon touch into the next daily support level 1.0744. Momentum is still prevalent and so we must allot to it our due diligence.
The Previous Week / Fundamental Releases and Price Action 🕋In this video we start by observing the movement of Eurusd from a top down perspective. We eventually break down the week's fundamental news releases and their impact on price behavior on the 1 hour timeframe as this is the bulk of the video. This week we went up and they came straight back down. Fundamental news releases played a suspicious role in the price behavior this week and we investigate their significance.
