EUR/USD: PAT + VPA 9/22/2024Good day,
Today, we're diving into EUR/US once again, and let me tell you, last week's strategy hit the nail on the head.
This week, the 4-hour chart is indicating a potential "Selling Climax." A glance at the daily reveals several bearish pin bars. The 4-hour has tightened from a broad range into a narrow internal range, which I refer to as "Market Submission." Prices have stalled, and traders are showing signs of fatigue. The market has consistently failed to break above 1.11679 (1.117), creating a solid evening star pattern.
The 1H timeframe is indicating a potential reversal as it navigates through multiple strong lows within a fixed range. While selling pressure is apparent, it hasn't yet managed to drive prices down to the internal low of 1.11174 (1.1120). I'm anticipating that this period will break that low following a retest of 1.11788 (1.118), as we find ourselves in the territory of a "Doji," or what I refer to as "Indecision Bars."
Appreciate your efforts, stay sharp in your trades, and show kindness to all on their trading path! Best, The Pip Assassin!

XAU/USD : Bull or Bear ? NFP's coming! (READ THE CAPTION)By analyzing the #Gold chart in the 30-minute timeframe, we can see that, as observed last night, gold dropped sharply from $2782 to $2731, creating a significant liquidity gap. As mentioned yesterday, the first key demand zone was between $2733-$2735, and once the price reached this critical zone, it was met with buying pressure, leading to a rebound of over 250 pips, taking gold up to $2757. Currently, gold is trading around $2752, with the NFP report ahead.
If the NFP data comes in lower than the forecast, it could push gold to higher levels. Conversely, if the data is higher than expected, we might see further declines in gold. There’s no certainty here, so I prefer to observe rather than make any trades on gold today.
Good luck, friends!
XAUUSD 3/11/24We have a short bias on gold this week, mainly to establish a better price level in case the market decides to move higher again, based on the daily timeframe gap. This is the first bearish gap in over a month, which indicates a strong chance for a possible sell-off.
We’ve marked the lows, and currently, there are no unmitigated areas of demand. Given our bearish bias, this is expected, as previous areas of demand or support are likely to be broken, allowing the price to reach a more favorable level for future buying opportunities. There’s also an area of supply marked above, which could push the price lower. However, we're primarily looking for a short-term sell-off, with a longer-term expectation of reaching all-time highs again, driven by strong fundamentals supporting gold.
This pullback is likely a temporary correction in the overall uptrend. Since we haven’t seen a pullback in a while, a correction is ultimately inevitable. Where it will end and turn bullish again is uncertain.
This week, our focus is on the liquidity levels marked for potential reactions. Trade based on current price action and follow your plan. Stick to your strategy, manage your risk, and consider the supply area as a possible point for selling into the lows.
Follow your plan and stick to your risk.
EURUSD: Fed`s decision weekThe Fed's favorite inflation gauge in the US, the PCE Price Index, was standing at 0,2% in September, bringing the index to 2,1% on a yearly basis. Figures were in line with market expectations. The Personal Income was higher by 0,3% in September while Personal Spending was increased by 0,5% a bit higher from market estimate of 0,4%. The Non-farm payrolls again surprised markets with data for October reaching only 12K. This was a significant drop from 223K posted for the previous month and significantly lower from 180K forecasted by market. Unemployment rate in October was unchanged at 4.1%. Average Hourly Earnings were higher by 0,4% in October, leading to an yearly increase of 4%. As for other macro data published for the US, the GDP Growth rate in Q3 showed an acceleration of the US economy of 2.8% for the quarter, which was a bit lower from market forecast of 3%. The US House Price Index was higher by 0,3% in August, bringing the total increase of housing prices to 4,2% on a yearly basis. The ISM Manufacturing PMI for October reached the level of 46,5, which was a bit lower from market consensus of 47,6.
The GfK Consumer Confidence in Germany in November was -18,3 which was a bit better from consensus of -20,5. Unemployment rate in Germany in October was higher by 0,1%, ending the month at 6,1%. The GDP Growth rate flash for Q3 was better than expected at the level of 0,2% for the quarter, while market expectations were standing at -0,1%. At the same time, GDP Growth rate on a yearly basis is still standing at the negative territory of -0,2%. The GDP Growth rate in the Euro Zone in Q3 was at the level of 0,4%, and 0,9% on a yearly basis. Inflation rate in Germany, preliminary for October, was standing at 2% for the year, and 0,4% for the month, which was a bit higher from market expectations of 1,8% and 0,2%. At the same time, the inflation rate in the Euro Zone for the same period was standing at 2,0% for the year and 0,3% for the month. Core inflation remained elevated at the level of 2,7% y/y. Unemployment rate in the Euro Zone remained flat in September at the level of 6,3%.
The currency pair was traded in a mixed manner during the previous week, considering mixed macro data which was posted during the week. First half of the week, eurusd spent on a move from 1,08 support line and moved toward the highest weekly level at 1,09, a short term resistance line. Still, Friday's NFP was a huge surprise for markets, when the eurusd reverted back, ending the week at the level of 1,0834. The RSI reached its maximum weekly level at 45, indicating that the market is still not ready to cross the 50 line and start its move toward the overbought market side. The moving average of 50 days continues with its convergence toward the MA200. There is still a distance between lines, but also an indication that the cross might occur within a few weeks.
The week ahead has the potential to be one of the most stressful trading weeks of the year. First, US Presidential elections are due on November 5th, which would certainly make markets react in line with an election outcome. Two days later, on November 7th, the Fed will decide on the further course of interest rates. Fed moves always imply higher market reactions, which implies that the week ahead might be one with higher market moves to one or both sides. Current charts are clearly showing that the market is uncertain which side to trade. On one side, there is some probability that the level of the 1,08 support line could be tested for one more time. There is also an indication for the resistance line at 1,10. Still, this level could be reached within a week or two, not necessarily in the week ahead. For the following week the much probable level could be 1,09, eventually 1,095. However, as previously noted, any surprises during the week, might trigger high volatility, so trading precaution is highly recommended.
Important news to watch during the week ahead are:
EUR: HCOB Manufacturing PMI final for October for Germany and the Euro Zone, HCOB Services PMI final for October for Germany and the Euro Zone, Balance of Trade for Germany in September, Industrial Production in Germany for September,
USD: ISM Services PMI for October, Fed Interest Rate Decision, Fed Press Conference after the FOMC meeting, Michigan Consumer Sentiment.

EURUSD 3/11/24This week, our bias on the Euro has shifted from short to long. This change is based on observing a shift in the higher time frame structure, as institutions appear to be showing interest in buying. Whether this move will be short-term or long-term remains to be seen. We’ll watch the price action in the first sessions of the week to get a clearer idea.
Please note, this analysis follows the same principles and bias approach as always. Currently, there are no unmitigated demand areas on the 4-hour chart, and only a short-term supply area has formed. The area of demand we’ve highlighted is present only on the 1-hour chart, making it more of a smaller time frame reference than a higher one. We’ve marked key liquidity levels, which will serve as our reference points for potential upward movement this week.
If the price interacts with the 1-hour demand area, we’ll aim for the high at the top of the current range. While I’m ultimately looking for a longer-term upward move, a pullback beforehand is possible.
Stick to your plan and manage your risk.
EURUSD. Selling opportunitiesHello traders and investors!
A detailed analysis of the currency pair can be found in the related post. A price drop to the 1.06011 level was expected.
Weekly Timeframe Analysis
On the weekly timeframe, the buyer's vector 7-8 is developing within the range. There was an attempt to resume buying from the buyer’s zone (green rectangle on the chart). The buyer’s bar with increased volume did not bring any results for the buyer: the bar’s closing price is within the seller’s bar with lower volume.
Daily Timeframe Analysis
On the daily timeframe, there was a manipulation of the level marking the beginning of the seller’s last impulse: a false breakout of the 1.08718 level aimed at gathering liquidity, followed by the price returning below the level. The buyer’s attack bar on this level has the highest volume among all buyer bars. The seller pushed the price back below the level, and a seller's zone was formed (red rectangle on the chart).
Summary
On the weekly timeframe, the buyer with increased volume failed to show results.
On the daily timeframe, there was a manipulation of the seller's last impulse level.
Priority: sales. Potential targets on the daily timeframe: 1.07821, 1.07612.

Creating your Trading Plan🔸Creating a comprehensive trading plan is a foundational step for any trader, whether you are involved in forex, stocks, options, or crypto markets. A well-structured trading plan outlines your trading goals, strategy, risk management protocols, and the psychological mindset necessary for success. Let’s break down the core components: strategy, risk management, psychology, and confluence.
1. Trading Plan Strategy
A trading strategy is a set of rules or guidelines you follow to identify, enter, and exit trades. Here are the elements to consider:
▪️Market Selection: Define which markets you will trade (e.g., forex pairs, stocks, cryptocurrencies) and what your time frames will be.
▪️Trading Style: Will you be a day trader, swing trader, or a long-term investor? Your style will influence your strategy.
▪️Entry and Exit Rules: Specify the technical or fundamental indicators that will trigger your trades. For example, you might use moving average crossovers, support and resistance levels, or candlestick patterns for entry and exit points.
▪️Trade Execution: Outline how you will place trades and manage your orders (e.g., market orders, limit orders, trailing stops).
▪️Backtesting: Before committing real money, test your strategy on historical data to understand its effectiveness.
▪️Example: Suppose your strategy involves trading breakouts. You would define what constitutes a breakout, how to confirm it, and the risk/reward ratio you expect before taking a trade.
2. Risk Management
Risk management is about preserving your capital and minimizing losses. It's a critical part of any trading plan and focuses on controlling how much you stand to lose on each trade and how to protect your account over time.
▪️Position Sizing: Determine how much of your capital you will risk per trade. Many traders risk no more than 1-2% of their total capital on a single trade.
▪️Stop Losses and Take Profits: Always use a stop-loss to cap potential losses and set a take-profit order to lock in gains. This should be part of your trading strategy.
▪️Risk/Reward Ratio: Ensure that the potential reward on a trade is worth the risk. A common minimum risk/reward ratio is 1:2, meaning you risk 1 unit of currency to make 2. Diversification: Spread your risk by trading multiple assets or markets instead of concentrating all your capital in a single trade or asset class.
▪️Example: If your account balance is $10,000, and you decide to risk 2% per trade, the maximum loss you would accept on any trade would be $200. This would dictate your stop-loss placement and position size.
3. Trading Psychology
The psychological aspect of trading is often underestimated, but emotions can greatly impact your decision-making. Maintaining a disciplined and objective mindset is crucial.
▪️Emotional Discipline: Avoid trading based on fear, greed, or impatience. Develop routines that keep your emotions in check.
▪️Handling Losses: Accept that losses are part of trading and learn not to let them affect your confidence or decision-making. Sticking to your plan, even after a loss, is crucial.
▪️Confidence and Patience: Build confidence in your strategy through thorough backtesting and practice. Be patient and wait for high-probability setups.
▪️Avoid Overtrading: This happens when traders try to chase losses or enter trades impulsively. Stick to your plan and don’t trade just for the sake of it.
▪️Example: If you find yourself becoming anxious or stressed during a losing streak, take a break from trading to reassess your mindset. Practicing mindfulness or keeping a trading journal to reflect on your emotions can be very helpful.
4. Confluence
Confluence in trading refers to multiple factors or signals aligning to indicate a strong trade setup. Relying on confluence increases the probability of a trade working in your favor.
▪️Technical Confluence: This might include a combination of support/resistance levels, Fibonacci retracement levels, moving averages, or chart patterns lining up to give you a higher confidence trade.
▪️Fundamental and Technical Confluence: Sometimes, combining technical analysis with fundamental data can strengthen your trade setup. For instance, a bullish technical setup supported by positive economic news.
▪️Multiple Time Frame Analysis: Check if your trade setup looks strong on multiple time frames. For example, a bullish signal on a daily chart confirmed by a shorter time frame like 4-hour or 1-hour charts.
▪️Example: Imagine you see a bullish reversal candlestick pattern at a major support level, and your moving average indicates an upward trend. This confluence of signals might give you more confidence to enter a long position.
🔸Putting It All Together
A successful trading plan ties these elements together to give you a clear roadmap. Here’s a simplified example of a trading plan:
🔸Goal: Achieve 5% account growth per month.
Market: Trade major forex pairs (e.g., EUR/USD, GBP/USD) during the London and New York sessions.
🔸Strategy: Use a breakout strategy confirmed by volume and momentum indicators. Enter trades when a breakout occurs from a key support/resistance level.
🔸Risk Management: Risk 1.5% of the account balance per trade. Use a 1:2 risk/reward ratio.
🔸Psychology: Practice emotional discipline. Use a trading journal to record trades and emotions.
🔸Confluence: Only take trades when at least three confluence factors align (e.g., breakout, volume increase, trend confirmation).
🔸By crafting and following a trading plan that incorporates strategy, risk management, psychology, and confluence, you increase your chances of trading success while minimizing potential losses.

EURUSD UPDATE ( HIGH RISK WEEK )Next week is going to be very high-risk, starting with the US election and followed by the FOMC meeting.
Based on technical analysis, I am biased towards going long on EUR/USD after the strength of the USD leading up to the US election.

Euro can fall to support level and then start to move upHello traders, I want share with you my opinion about Euro. Looking at the chart, we can see how the price fell to the seller zone, which coincided with the resistance level and at once rebounded up. Price in a short time rose to 1.1210 points and then turned around and started to decline inside the downward channel. In the channel, the price soon broke the 1.1085 level and then fell almost the support line of the channel, after which EUR bounced and continued to decline. Later Euro fell to the support level, which coincided with the support line of the downward channel with the buyer zone. After this, the price continued to decline and soon, broke the 1.0810 level and entered to buyer zone, after which turned around, and some time traded between support level. Last time, the price fell to the buyer zone and then rebounded up, thereby breaking the 1.0810 level again, and then exited from the channel too. At the moment, I think that Euro can correct to a support level and then start to grow. For this case, I set my TP at 1.0980 points. Please share this idea with your friends and click Boost 🚀

The Euro is slightly declining, and a reversal is possible.Hello everyone,
Today, the EUR/USD exchange rate is trading around 1.08336 USD for each 1 EUR, showing a slight decrease compared to the previous session.
This decline is primarily driven by a strong recovery of the USD, supported by positive economic data from the U.S., indicating that the economy is stabilizing. The increase in U.S. government bond yields also contributes to the dollar's attractiveness, putting pressure on the Euro.
Although the exchange rate is currently declining, there is a possibility of a reversal. If U.S. economic data does not remain positive or if the ECB takes strong actions to support the Euro, this could push the EUR/USD rate higher. Additionally, geopolitical factors and uncertainties in policy could create higher demand for the Euro.
Smart Money Trading concepts 101🔸The Smart Money Trading concept, often used in Forex and stock trading, revolves around the idea of tracking the moves made by major institutional players (like banks, hedge funds, and large financial institutions) rather than retail investors. Smart money strategies aim to identify and follow the price action patterns that large investors create, as these institutions often have access to more market-moving information and capital than individual traders.
🔸A critical part of this approach is understanding market structure, which includes concepts like Higher Highs (HH) and Lower Lows (LL). These patterns help traders determine the current trend direction and potential reversals, which can inform trading decisions.
Here's how these concepts fit into the Smart Money Trading framework:
1. Higher Highs (HH) and Higher Lows (HL) in an Uptrend
▪️When the market is in an uptrend, it typically forms a series of Higher Highs and Higher Lows:
Higher High (HH): Each new peak in the price is higher than the previous peak.
Higher Low (HL): Each new low is also higher than the previous low.
▪️This pattern signifies strong buying interest, indicating that smart money may be accumulating positions in anticipation of further price increases.
▪️Traders look for breakouts beyond previous highs, as it often signifies a continuation of the uptrend.
▪️If the price breaks a recent Higher Low, it may indicate potential weakness and a possible trend reversal.
2. Lower Lows (LL) and Lower Highs (LH) in a Downtrend
▪️In a downtrend, the market structure often forms Lower Lows and Lower Highs:
Lower Low (LL): Each new low is lower than the previous low.
Lower High (LH): Each high in the price action is also lower than the previous high.
▪️This pattern signals that selling pressure is dominant, suggesting that institutional investors might be offloading positions.
▪️Traders watch for prices to break the most recent Lower High for potential continuation signals in the downtrend.
▪️If the price breaks above the most recent Lower High, it can indicate that the trend may be weakening, signaling a potential reversal or entry opportunity.
3. Using HH and LL to Spot Trend Reversals
▪️Trend Reversal: When a series of HH and HL in an uptrend shifts to LH and LL (or vice versa), it often signals that a reversal is underway.
▪️Smart Money traders use these shifts to spot market traps where retail traders might be misled, allowing them to capitalize on new trend directions as they unfold.
4. Smart Money Concepts in Action: Liquidity and Price Action
▪️Large players need liquidity to execute significant trades without causing excessive slippage (or price movement). This liquidity often exists near recent highs and lows.
▪️By analyzing HH, HL, LH, and LL patterns, smart money traders can identify areas of liquidity where institutions might step in.
▪️For example, a series of HHs might attract retail buyers, providing liquidity for smart money to enter or exit positions.
5. Application in Trading
▪️By following HH and LL patterns, traders can align their positions with smart money rather than getting caught in fakeouts or market traps.
▪️Traders often combine these patterns with other indicators (like volume, order blocks, or support and resistance) to confirm the presence of institutional involvement.
🔸The Smart Money approach relies heavily on understanding and interpreting these HH and LL structures to trade in sync with the institutions, avoiding common pitfalls that trap many retail traders.
Euro falls as Trump's chances of victory increaseLooking at the trend in the 1-hour time frame, EUR/USD has broken the support area of the first ascending channel to the bottom and now it is below the moving averages of the ALIIGATOR indicator, there is a possibility of further price declines.
In general, the scenario is reinforced that EUR/USD can decline to the support of the bottom of the second ascending channel in the range of $1.0799, provided that the resistance range of 1.0864-1.0859 is maintained.
EUR/USD retreats in the aftermath of US NFP dataEUR/USD has given up its upward momentum after facing selling pressure near the key resistance level of 1.0900 during the North American trading session on Friday. The currency pair declined as the US Dollar strengthened significantly following the October Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) data. Although there was an initial negative reaction, the Dollar quickly regained strength, with the DXY Index rising above 104.00.
The report indicated that the economy added only 12,000 new jobs, which is significantly lower than the estimated 113,000 and the previous month’s 223,000, which was revised down from 254,000. The unemployment rate remained stable at 4.1%, as expected.
Looking at the technical chart, we can see that the trendline indicates a clear downtrend for this currency pair. The downward momentum of EUR/USD is likely to continue as it encounters two key resistance levels at 1.088 and 1.085. If the price fails to break through these levels, it may lead to a deeper decline, with the next target potentially being the support level at 1.080. Conversely, if the pair breaks the 1.088 resistance and stays above it, this could create an opportunity for a recovery, opening up the possibility of testing the 1.090 level again.
Do you think this currency pair has a chance to reverse? Let me know in the comments!
Analyzing the EUR/USD on the 30-minute timeframethe EUR/USD on the 30-minute timeframe, the pair is currently in a downtrend but has not yet reached the green support zone. If the price returns to this zone, it could attract buyers, potentially pushing the price upward. This scenario may present a long opportunity, provided there's a confirmation signal before entry.
Key Points:
Current Trend: Downward movement towards support.
Support Zone: Identified in green on the chart.
Potential Action: Look for bullish confirmation signals upon price reaching the support zone before considering a long position.
Always ensure proper risk management and wait for clear confirmation before entering a trade.
