Are The Bulls Still Up To IT?On this pair, we see that the Weekly chart is ready to resume its long held bearishness. Over the past few days, we have witnessed prices rally all the way up (a Bullish retracement inside a bearish swing), driving prices into our marked out Weekly reversal zone. As expected, the zone held, and we began to see reversals, with prices turning bearish from that point. But the thing is this, that bullish retracement on the weekly came as a result of a bullish extension on the daily chart. The pertinent question before us now is whether or not the bulls of the daily chart will be able to come in strongly enough to contain the current bearish push and hold prices in a bullish trend. Here is my take. It is common knowledge that the lower time frames move in consonance with (in obedience to) the higher timeframes... lol (the word "obedience" got me laughing for a bit. But let's cyt back to the chase) Now we have seen the daily printing a bullish narrative. But we are all expected to believe that the bullish trend sustained by the daily has the primary intention and purpose of driving prices in the direction of the higher timeframe, which in this case is the weekly chart. We therefore believe that all of that bullish push was to drive prices into the Weekly reversal zone. With that being fulfilled, price is expected to move in the direction of the Weekly over and above the daily direction. This is the regular theory and philosophy of the forex market. But will that narrative hold sway this time around? We see prices now dipping bearish. This is an extension for the Weekly chart, and at the same time a retracement on the daily bullish swing. In the event that the Daily zone holds (which is less likely), we will expect to see prices reverse bullish, begin totally and move to take out Daily liquidity target above. This will result in a deeper retracement inside the Weekyl zone, or a complete breach of the zone. Where the zone is breached, we will look to see the market print higher prices and go all the way up. On the other hand, if the bearish perspective of the Weekly holds, we will expect to see the Daily zone breached, at which point we will expect prices to dip towards the weekly liquidity target below. So guys, who do you thing is gonna win the day, the Bulls of the Daily or the Bears of the Weekly? share your thoughts in the comment section

EUR/USD Under Pressure Despite Eurozone Retail Sales ReboundThis morning, the Eurozone Retail Sales data showed a slight rebound, rising 0.8% year-on-year (YoY) in August, compared to the 1.0% estimate. On a monthly basis, retail sales increased by 0.2%, aligning with expectations, after being flat in July, according to data released by Eurostat. While this rebound reflects some recovery in consumer activity, the data missed market expectations, which has limited its impact on the Euro. Despite these figures, the EUR/USD pair remains under pressure, largely due to stronger sentiment surrounding the US Dollar. The economic data from the Eurozone was marked as low-impact, further minimizing its influence on the currency pair. As a result, the price of EUR/USD continues to feel the weight of broader market forces. Sentiment Analysis: COT Report Shows Divergence The latest Commitment of Traders (COT) report reveals an interesting shift in market sentiment. Retail traders have turned bearish on EUR/USD over the past week, likely reacting to the stronger USD performance and weaker-than-expected Eurozone data. On the other hand, Smart Money (institutional traders) has begun building long positions, suggesting a potential upside as these large market participants start positioning for a future rebound. Technical Outlook: Eyes on the 1.08500 Demand Area We previously closed a bearish position on EUR/USD after a successful trade, as noted in our forecast here: EUR/USD Previous closed Forecast. Looking forward, we are awaiting further price action before considering new positions. The 1.08500 level is a key demand area where we expect the price may find support and possibly reject the previous low. A decline to this area seems likely, and we are watching closely for consolidation and potential entry signals around this level. At the moment, however, we remain on the sidelines until a clearer opportunity presents itself. Conclusion While the Eurozone Retail Sales figures showed a modest rebound, they missed expectations, and the overall impact on the EUR/USD pair has been minimal. The pair remains under pressure, with the USD benefiting from recent economic data and hawkish remarks from the US Federal Reserve. We are watching for a potential price drop to the 1.08500 demand area, where a rebound could occur, but no new positions will be taken until the market offers clearer signals. For now, patience is key as we wait for EUR/USD to reach an area of interest that may provide a solid entry point. ✅ Please share your thoughts about EURUSD in the comments section below and HIT LIKE if you appreciate my analysis.

Cross Roads for the CableOn the Weekly, we see that the market is in a Bullish swing. After prices rallied to form the high, it has begun the bearish retracement, dipping towards the reversal zones which are refined from the existing PB of the Weekly. This narrative above is also the same for the Daily chart. On the Daily, not only dow e see a chart that is bullish and now retracing bearish into the refined zone, but we can notice that at this time, price is well inside the zone, and even threatening to break bearish and breach the zone. Now my analysis: I expect the Daily reversal zone to hold. Where that happens, we expect to see prices go all the way up to hit Daily liquidity target and at the same time give us an extension of the current bullish swing on both the Daily and Weekly charts. If it does go this way, we will pull our our panzy pips trading system and begin to catch trades on the extension rally. On the other hand, in the unlikely event that our daily zone fails, we will expect to see prices retrace deeper and dip lower towards the weekly reversal zone, from where we will watch out for reversals inside that zone. The rally will be expected to begin from there, and from there drive prices all the way up towards the Weekly liquidy target. This is gonna be one hell of a rally, so y'all better be ready to cath some great deal of profit off of that rally. As usual, we will look to trade that rally applying our same trad entry systems unique to panzy pips traders. See you at the top of that cliff guys ...

Is It Still Bearish for the EURUSDWhile on the Monthly and Weekly we see this pair in a bearish swing, on the Daily, it appears to be in a Bullish swing. We have seen prices while sustaining the bullish swing, go through a strong bearish retracement. Price has come all the way into the Daily reversal zone. At this point, we expect to see some form of reversal and for prices to begin the bullish extension towards the Daily liquidity target. Where this happens, we will look to enter on long positions, using the panzy pips trading system. In the unlikely event that prices continue to dip and the zone is breached, we will be look to see prices head for the Weekly liquidity target down below. For whatever it is worth, the more likely direction, as at now, is a bullish reversal in the current zone, followed by a rally all the way up towards the Daily liquidity target.

Will GBP Drop Further? Bearish Pressure Mounts Near Key LevelThe British Pound (GBP) continues to face downside pressure near the key level of 1.3100 against the US Dollar (USD) during Monday’s London session. The GBP/USD pair remains under strain as the US Dollar holds firm, near a seven-week high, bolstered by strong Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data for September, released last Friday. This robust US labor market performance has further supported the dollar's strength. In our previous analysis, we closed our positions on this pair (view chart below): GBP/USD Previous Forecast. Bearish Sentiment: Continuation or Reversal? Looking ahead, the Commitment of Traders (COT) report indicates that retail traders remain heavily on the bearish side, which adds weight to the possibility of further downside pressure. While there is no immediate position to open, we will be closely monitoring market developments. Given the fundamental outlook, our attention will turn to a potential long position if the price retraces to our identified Demand area. Until then, we remain cautious, awaiting clearer signals for a possible entry point as the market evolves. Conclusion With the US Dollar's recent strength driven by solid economic data, the GBP/USD pair continues to hover near critical levels. While the current sentiment leans bearish, we will keep a close watch on fundamental shifts and technical signals to reassess future trade opportunities. ✅ Please share your thoughts about GBPUSD in the comments section below and HIT LIKE if you appreciate my analysis.

EUR/USD Faces Downside as Powell's Hawkish Remarks Boost USDThe EUR/USD pair remains under pressure as Fed Chair Jerome Powell's hawkish remarks on Monday continue to support the US Dollar (USD), capping any significant upside potential for the Euro (EUR). Powell’s stance suggests that the Federal Reserve is still focused on curbing inflation, which has strengthened the USD and weighed on the major pair. At the same time, expectations for more rate cuts by the European Central Bank (ECB) have contributed to keeping a lid on the EUR/USD. This comes ahead of key economic data releases, particularly the flash Eurozone Consumer Price Index (CPI) for September. The pair, as predicted last week, is currently trading within a supply area, with price action forming a double top pattern. According to the Commitment of Traders (COT) report, retail traders remain extremely bullish on the Euro, while larger institutional players are more cautious, signaling potential downside risks. The flash CPI report, due later today, is expected to show that inflation in the Eurozone likely fell below the ECB’s 2% target in September. This follows a notable drop in Germany’s CPI to its lowest level since February 2021, which reinforces expectations for a 25 basis point rate cut at the ECB’s next policy meeting in October. A softer CPI print would likely reaffirm these rate cut bets, applying further downward pressure on the Euro. However, even if the CPI reading comes in higher than expected, the market reaction could be muted. The modest strength of the USD, supported by Powell's comments and the overall hawkish stance of the Fed, suggests that EUR/USD may struggle to gain upward momentum. The path of least resistance for the pair remains to the downside, as the technical setup points to a potential bearish continuation. In conclusion, with the EUR/USD pair trading in a supply area and forming a double top, coupled with a cautious outlook from institutional traders, the risk of a bearish continuation looms large. Key economic data, including the Eurozone CPI, will be closely watched today, but the fundamental backdrop remains in favor of the USD, keeping pressure on the pair. Traders should remain alert to further downside movement, especially if the ECB rate cut expectations solidify. ✅ Please share your thoughts about EUR/USD in the comments section below and HIT LIKE if you appreciate my analysis.

NZD/USD Bears Eye Deeper Correction Amid Positive US JOLTS ReporThe NZD/USD pair continues its bearish trajectory following the release of strong US JOLTS Job Openings data yesterday. This has intensified market speculation about the resilience of the US labor market, which could lead to further tightening by the Federal Reserve. As a result, the Kiwi dollar has come under pressure, with bears targeting a deeper correction. In our previous forecast: we highlighted the potential for a drop after NZD/USD encountered strong resistance in a key supply zone. The price has continued its downward momentum, confirming our analysis, and the Commitment of Traders (COT) report further supports a bearish continuation, with commercial hedgers reducing their long positions. The market dynamics show potential for the trend to reach our second take-profit target. Fundamental Outlook: Labor Market Signals Weigh on Kiwi The US JOLTS report, showing unexpectedly high job openings, signals strength in the labor market. This is significant because robust employment data often leads to increased expectations for tighter monetary policy from the Federal Reserve. As the central bank looks to combat inflation while maintaining economic stability, positive labor indicators like these reinforce the likelihood of interest rates remaining elevated for an extended period. On the New Zealand side, a mixed economic outlook and weakening demand for riskier assets have further pressured the NZD. With inflation in check but economic growth showing signs of stagnation, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) is not expected to be as aggressive as the Fed in future monetary policy moves. This policy divergence creates a favorable environment for NZD/USD bears. COT Report Signals Further Downside The COT report confirms that the institutional market is shifting towards further bearish positions in NZD/USD. Commercial traders have been reducing their long exposure, while speculators are increasingly taking short positions. This sentiment, combined with the technical rejection in the supply area, suggests that the trend is far from over. Key Data to Watch: US Unemployment Claims Today, traders will be closely watching the release of **US Unemployment Claims** data. If the numbers come in better than expected—indicating a stronger labor market—this could further bolster the US dollar and drive NZD/USD lower. A positive surprise in the data would support the case for the Fed to maintain its current stance on interest rates, thus enhancing the bearish outlook for NZD/USD. Technical Analysis: Deeper Correction in Sight Technically, the NZD/USD remains under pressure after its rejection at the supply area. The price is trending below key moving averages, and momentum indicators show bearish divergence, suggesting that the downside momentum is still strong. A break below the recent low could open the door for further losses. In conclusion, NZD/USD bears are firmly in control, and with favorable economic data from the US, a deeper correction seems likely. Traders should keep an eye on today’s Unemployment Claims report for further clues on the pair’s direction. ✅ Please share your thoughts about NZD/USD in the comments section below and HIT LIKE if you appreciate my analysis.

EUR/USD Faces Pressure as USD Strengthens Ahead of US PCE DataThe EUR/USD pair experienced selling pressure on Friday, reversing part of the gains made in the previous session. The US Dollar (USD) found renewed strength as traders repositioned ahead of the release of the US Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Price Index, a key measure of inflation that could influence the Federal Reserve's policy outlook. This USD rebound played a significant role in dragging the EUR/USD lower, especially as the Euro approached a critical technical zone. The pair retested a supply area, forming a potential Double Top pattern a classic indicator of weakening momentum and an early sign of a bearish reversal. This technical setup suggests that the recent bullish move might be losing traction. Moreover, the latest Commitment of Traders (COT) report shows that retail traders are heavily bullish on the Euro. This often signals a contrarian opportunity, as extreme retail sentiment can precede a market reversal, with institutional traders typically positioning themselves in the opposite direction. With both technical and sentiment indicators aligning, we are anticipating a retracement in the EUR/USD pair. The current USD strength, coupled with a bearish chart pattern and aggressive retail optimism, supports the likelihood of a pullback in the near term. The release of the PCE inflation data could act as a catalyst, potentially increasing market volatility and applying additional pressure on the Euro. In summary, we expect the EUR/USD to face further downside risks as the USD gains traction. The technical setup and market sentiment suggest that the pair could retrace from current levels, especially if the upcoming US inflation data favors continued USD strength. We remain cautious and are watching for opportunities to position for a retracement. ✅ Please share your thoughts about EUR/USD in the comments section below and HIT LIKE if you appreciate my analysis.

EUR/USD Decline, USD Gains Momentum as Strong Job DataThe US labor market continues to exhibit strength, bolstering the US dollar as recent data beats expectations. The US JOLTS Job Openings report, released on Tuesday, showed a surprising increase of 329K job openings, rising from a revised 7.711 million in July to 8.040 million in August. This unexpected surge reinforces the resilience of the US economy, providing near-term support to the US dollar. Additionally, today's ADP private sector survey reported that 143K jobs were added in September, exceeding the 120K forecast, while August's reading was revised upward from 99K to 103K. These positive labor market signals have intensified the dollar's bullish momentum, particularly against the euro. As we previously forecasted for EUR/USD, the price rejected our key Supply area and has already reached the first take-profit target. With the pair edging closer to our second target, the US dollar's strength looks set to drive EUR/USD lower, with the next potential support sitting at the 1.09500 area. Strong US Labor Data Drives Dollar Higher The JOLTS and ADP reports reflect the robustness of the US labor market, providing the Federal Reserve with more room to maintain higher interest rates. With job openings and private sector employment both outperforming expectations, market sentiment is increasingly favoring the US dollar as investors anticipate the Fed may continue its hawkish stance. The surge in job openings suggests that demand for labor remains high, which could keep inflationary pressures elevated and justify further rate hikes or prolonged tight monetary policy. Likewise, the ADP data highlights sustained private-sector job growth, reinforcing the overall strength of the labor market and lending further support to the greenback. EUR/USD Under Pressure: Aiming for 1.09500? On the technical front, EUR/USD remains under pressure after rejecting the Supply area as anticipated in our earlier forecast. The pair has already hit the first take-profit level, and further downside appears likely if today's US Unemployment Claims report comes in better than expected. A less severe unemployment figure compared to the forecast would strengthen the dollar further, pushing EUR/USD toward the 1.09500 support zone. The pair has been trending lower due to a combination of strong US economic data and a weaker euro, as the European Central Bank (ECB) takes a more cautious approach to monetary policy. This divergence between the Fed and the ECB has weighed heavily on the euro, and with US data continuing to outperform, the trend could persist in the near term. Key Data to Watch: US Unemployment Claims Today, the market will focus on the release of US Unemployment Claims data, which could further influence the direction of EUR/USD. Should the report come in better than forecast, indicating a continued decline in unemployment, the dollar would likely strengthen further, pushing the pair closer to the 1.09500 mark. In conclusion, the combination of strong US labor data and hawkish expectations for the Federal Reserve is fueling dollar strength, pressuring EUR/USD lower. If today's unemployment claims report aligns with the recent positive trend in US employment, a continuation of the bearish momentum could drive the pair to our next target. Traders should watch the unemployment claims release for further confirmation of this downward move. ✅ Please share your thoughts about EUR/USD in the comments section below and HIT LIKE if you appreciate my analysis.

GBP/USD Pulls Back as USD Strengthens Ahead of Core PCE DataThe GBP/USD pair edged lower during the Asian session on Friday, retreating from the highest levels it had reached since March 2022, around the 1.3435 region, which was touched the previous day. The decline was largely driven by a technical reversal after the pair tested a key daily supply-demand zone. This move coincides with data from the latest **Commitment of Traders (COT) report**, which shows that retail traders remain strongly bullish on the GBP. Despite the bullish positioning from retailers, the pair saw a pullback as the market anticipates important economic data out of the United States, including the **Core PCE Price Index** for the month of November. A positive reading from this inflation gauge could add further support to the US Dollar (USD) and push the GBP/USD pair lower. The USD is expected to strengthen if the data signals persistent inflationary pressures, which could keep the Federal Reserve cautious about loosening monetary policy too quickly. However, expectations regarding the Bank of England (BoE) are playing a counterbalancing role. The BoE is widely seen as taking a more gradual approach to cutting rates compared to the US Federal Reserve, which could help support the British Pound (GBP) in the medium term and limit losses for the GBP/USD pair. Still, with immediate market momentum and potential upside for the USD, the pair remains under pressure in the short term. In light of these developments, we are maintaining a **short position** on GBP/USD, as the combination of technical resistance and USD strength points to further downside in the near future. While GBP sentiment remains supported by BoE policy expectations, today's price action suggests that USD demand is likely to drive the pair lower, especially with key data releases on the horizon. ✅ Please share your thoughts about GBP/USD in the comments section below and HIT LIKE if you appreciate my analysis.

EUR/USD Extends Losses as USD Strengthens, Bearish Impulse FocusThe EUR/USD pair has extended its decline for a third consecutive day, falling in line with our previous forecast. The US Dollar (USD) has gained traction, supported by a risk-off market sentiment and recent comments from Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell. On Monday, Powell downplayed expectations of a significant 50 basis points (bps) rate cut, indicating that the central bank is not in a hurry to lower rates aggressively. His cautious tone has further bolstered the Dollar, keeping pressure on the Euro. From a broader perspective, the main scenario for EUR/USD remains unchanged from what was outlined in previous analyses. We are still looking for a potential new bearish impulse, particularly as markets anticipate the release of the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change report later today. This key economic indicator could further influence the pair’s movement, with stronger-than-expected data likely boosting the USD and pushing the EUR/USD lower. Technically, the pair is approaching our second take profit target as the bearish momentum continues. The current outlook suggests further downside potential, especially if today’s ADP report supports the case for a resilient US labor market, reinforcing the strength of the USD. In conclusion, with the EUR/USD pair continuing its downward trend and the USD benefiting from Powell’s cautious stance, we anticipate further bearish action. The release of the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change report today could provide the catalyst needed to reach our second take profit target. Traders should remain vigilant, as the bearish scenario is still in play and could gain momentum following today’s data. ✅ Please share your thoughts about EUR/USD in the comments section below and HIT LIKE if you appreciate my analysis.

Shatter the Comparison Trap: Elevate Yourself Through Self-FocusComparing yourself to others can actually be a beneficial emotion. It's a desire to improve yourself, a drive to strive for excellence, and a way to compete with the best in the field. This can inspire traders to develop their skills, explore new ideas and approaches, take calculated risks, and optimize their time and actions effectively. However, not everyone knows how to manage their emotions properly. At some point, comparing yourself to others can shift from a motivational force to a detrimental state. Instead of fostering self-improvement, it can lead to what we can call “self-beating up,” where traders become overly critical of themselves. This shift can hinder personal growth and create a cascade of problems. In this post, we will explore strategies for managing the tendency to compare yourself to others in trading, transforming what can be a potential obstacle into a powerful catalyst for personal and professional growth. Let’s dive into how to effectively harness this emotional state and turn it into a positive driving force on your trading journey. 📍 Causes And Consequences Comparing your self to others in trading is a common emotion that can emerge when a trader witnesses the success of their peers, often resulting in feelings of resentment or disappointment regarding their own performance. This sentiment can be particularly intense when traders measure themselves against friends, acquaintances, or even anonymous traders in online trading communities. As a result, the pressure to match the achievements of others can lead to negative self-reflection and hinder personal growth in the trading journey. 📍 When Do We Start Comparing Our Trading Journey To Someone Else's ? 🔹 Social Media and Forums: The rise of social media and online forums has made it incredibly easy for traders to share their successes. Seeing others post about their impressive gains or profitabe trades can be discouraging, especially when traders feel that their own results are lacking in comparison. 🔹 Comparing Results: Many traders fall into the habit of constantly measuring their performance against that of others. Witnessing peers excel can lead to dissatisfaction with their own progress and foster a distorted view of their own abilities. 🔹 Novice Success: It's often particularly frustrating to observe newcomers achieve quick success, seemingly with minimal effort. This can breed resentment among more experienced traders and leave them questioning their own skills and strategies. 🔹 Lack of Progress: When traders perceive stagnation or a lack of significant success, they may turn to others for comparison. If they feel they're not advancing as expected, they might increasingly look to peers who appear to be making strides. 🔹 Exaggerated Expectations: Many traders set ambitious targets, such as aiming for a specific percentage of profits within a certain timeframe (e.g., 10% per month). Failing to reach these goals—especially in light of others' apparent successes—can lead to feelings of frustration and inadequacy. 📍 Constantly Comparing Yourself To Others Can Hinder Your Trading Journey 🔹 Overestimating Other People's Strategies: Observing the success of others might prompt traders to impulsively alter their strategies in an attempt to replicate those results. This can result in inconsistency in their trading approach and hinder genuine growth, as they may abandon their own tested methods for strategies that might not align with their trading style. 🔹 Negative Emotions: Consistent comparison can generate negative feelings such as resentment and frustration when faced with another's accomplishments. These emotions can cloud judgment and adversely affect decision-making processes, potentially leading to poor trading choices and increased risk-taking behavior. 🔹 Social Isolation: In some cases, the act of comparison may prompt traders to withdraw from social interactions with more successful peers. This distancing can limit opportunities for collaboration, learning, and mentorship within the trading community, which are crucial for personal and professional development. 🔹 Discussing Other People's Successes: Focusing on and discussing the achievements of others—often in a negative or envious light—can distract traders from recognizing and valuing their own progress. This ongoing comparison can breed a cycle of negativity that diminishes motivation, as traders might overlook their own achievements while fixating on the successes of others. 📍 Constantly Comparing Yourself To Others In Trading Can Harm Your Long-term Success 🔹 Impulsive Decisions: Constantly measuring yourself against others can lead to a desire to catch up or replicate another's success. This urgency may cause traders to take unnecessary risks and make impulsive decisions that deviate from their strategies. Such behavior often results in losses and undermines long-term success. 🔹 Decreased Focus: When traders become fixated on comparisons, they tend to lose sight of their individual trading strategies and personal goals. This distraction can detract from their analytical effectiveness and compromise their decision-making processes, leading to bad results. 🔹 Emotional Burnout: Ongoing comparisons can contribute to feelings of inadequacy and perpetual dissatisfaction, leading to emotional exhaustion. As these feelings accumulate, traders may struggle to maintain motivation and enthusiasm for trading, which is essential for sustained performance. 🔹 Breakdown in Discipline: The pressure to achieve results quickly or to match the performance of more successful traders can erode a trader’s discipline. This might result in erratic trading behavior, divergence from well-established strategies, and heightened vulnerability to losses, thereby jeopardizing their trading journey. 🔹 Frustration and Disappointment: Constantly measuring progress against others typically fosters chronic dissatisfaction with own performance. This incessant fixation can lead to ongoing frustration, which in turn can diminish confidence and negatively affect trading outcomes. 📍 How To Stop Constantly Comparing Yourself To Others ? 🔹 Focus on Your Goals: Concentrate on your personal trading objectives and strategies. Instead of comparing yourself to others, turn your attention inward. Remember that not everyone can achieve the same level of success as Warren Buffett, regardless of their abilities. It's not about having lofty ambitions; what matters is the gradual progress toward your goals. Make sure to continually develop yourself, steadily raising your own standards and aspirations. 🔹 Cultivate Reasonable Confidence: Question whether everyone who claims to achieve returns of 50-100% has genuinely earned those results. Avoid falling for misleading advertisements; trust only what can be verified. Remember, knowledgeable traders take pride in their expertise, not their wealth. 🔹 Embrace Development and Learning: Commit to continuously improving your skills and knowledge. The more you learn, the more confident you'll become in your abilities—and the less you'll find yourself fixated on the achievements of others. 🔹 Foster Positive Thinking: Shift your mindset by replacing constant comparison with admiration for the successes of others. Use their accomplishments as inspiration for your own growth and development. 🔹 Build Community and Support: Connect with other traders to share experiences and offer mutual support. Not only can you gain valuable knowledge and learn from the mistakes of others, but you will also appreciate that every achievement requires significant time and effort. 🔹 Practice Meditation and Relaxation: Practice relaxation techniques into your routine to help reduce stress and emotional strain. 📍 Conclusion Cease the habit of comparing yourself to others, as it often clouds your unique path to success. Instead, redirect your energy toward your personal development by setting clear and meaningful goals that resonate with your aspirations. Cultivate a deep belief in your own potential and capabilities, recognizing that your journey is distinct and valuable. Embrace the idea that with dedication and resilience, success will naturally unfold as a result of your commitment to growth and self-improvement! Grass Isn't Greener On The Other Side.

MarketBreakdown | AUDUSD, USDCHF, EURGBP, GBPCAD Here are the updates & outlook for multiple instruments in my watch list. 1️⃣ #AUDUSD weekly time frame 🇦🇺🇺🇸 The market opening is very bullish for the pair. We see a breakout attempt of a major horizontal weekly resistance. If a weekly candle closes above the underlined blue area, it will open a potential for much more growth. 2️⃣ #USDCHF daily time frame 🇺🇸🇨🇭 The market is currently consolidating within a relatively wide horizontal parallel channel. The price is currently approaching its support. With a high probability, a consolidation will continue, and we will see a bullish movement from that. 3️⃣ #EURGBP daily time frame 🇪🇺🇬🇧 The price violated a significant daily/weekly horizontal support last week. Because the pair is trading in a long-term bearish trend, such a violation indicates the strength of the sellers and a highly probable bearish continuation. 4️⃣ #GBPCAD daily time frame 🇬🇧🇨🇦 The market is trading in a strong bullish trend. Currently, we see a breakout attempt of the resistance based on a current high. If a daily candle closes above that, it will confirm a bullish continuation. Do you agree with my market breakdown? ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️
