Yen Gains on Rate Hike ExpectationsThe Japanese yen traded around 148.6 per dollar on Monday, near a five-month high, as expectations for BOJ rate hikes remained strong. However, the central bank is expected to keep its policy unchanged in this week’s meeting. Major Japanese firms approved wage hikes for the third year, boosting consumer spending and inflation, and potentially allowing future rate increases. The yen also gained from dollar weakness as US economic concerns and trade policies pushed investors toward safe-haven currencies like the yen and Swiss franc. Key resistance is at 149.20, with further levels at 152.00 and 154.90. Support stands at 147.00, followed by 145.80 and 143.00.

EURUSD Head and Shoulders triggering a sell.The EURUSD pair is about to complete a Head and Shoulders (H&S) pattern on the 4H time-frame and so far it is keeping the 4H MA50 (blue trend-line) intact. The last H&S formation we saw was completed on January 30 and it resulted in a -3.06% drop. Given that the longer term pattern is a Bullish Megaphone with the H&S being on its top and the 4H RSI displaying the same Bearish Divergence it did in late January, we expect a similar pull-back to occur. Our Target is 1.06150, representing both a potential -3.06% drop and a contact with the 4H MA200 (orange trend-line). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

EURJPY forming a top?EURJPY - 24h expiry Although the bulls are in control, the stalling positive momentum indicates a turnaround is possible. There is no sign that this bullish momentum is faltering but the pair has stalled close to a previous swing high of 162.36. This is negative for short term sentiment and we look to set shorts at good risk/reward levels for a further correction lower. Preferred trade is to sell into rallies. Although the anticipated move lower is corrective, it does offer ample risk/reward today. We look to Sell at 162.30 (stop at 163.22) Our profit targets will be 159.68 and 157.60 Resistance: 164.15 / 166.70 / 169.90 Support: 160.75 / 159.35 / 157.60 Risk Disclaimer The trade ideas beyond this page are for informational purposes only and do not constitute investment advice or a solicitation to trade.

EURUSD Further Upside potentialThe EUR/USD pair continues to consolidate after experiencing strong bullish momentum. Since Tuesday, the price has primarily been moving sideways, remaining within a defined range. The market is currently positioned at a key resistance zone, yet no significant pullback was observed last week. At this stage, the price appears likely to continue ranging before making a decisive move. An ABC pullback is in formation, and once completed, there is a strong potential for the trend to resume. A dip below last week's low is anticipated, followed by a rebound from the support level near 1.07800 and the upward trendline. The next potential target is the resistance zone around 1.10000

WHY NZDJPY IS BULLISH??? DETAILED ANALYSISNZDJPY is currently trading at 85.900, forming a descending channel pattern, signaling a potential breakout. This pattern often leads to bullish reversals, and once the price breaks above the resistance zone, we could see strong upside momentum toward the 90.000 target. A successful breakout with increased volume will confirm the bullish wave, leading to an anticipated gain of 300+ pips. From a technical perspective, the pair is testing key resistance levels within the descending channel, and a breakout will align with major trend continuation signals. If buyers maintain control, we could see the price rally towards 87.500 first, followed by a push toward 90.000 psychological resistance. Traders should watch for confirmation signals such as strong bullish candles, RSI divergence, and volume spikes to validate the breakout. On the fundamental side, market sentiment and risk appetite are favoring jpy pairs, with the New Zealand dollar benefiting from commodity price stability and global risk-on sentiment. Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan's cautious stance on monetary tightening keeps jpy under pressure, further supporting upside potential for nzdjpy. If risk sentiment remains positive, the pair could maintain its bullish outlook, making the 90.000 target highly achievable.

GOLD IN CONSOLIDATION – IS A MAJOR BREAKOUT IMMINENT?📌 Market Overview Gold starts the week with limited momentum following last week’s sharp drop from its highs. Investors remain cautious, waiting for stronger signals before committing to a clear direction. This week, the FOMC meeting will be the key event, as the Federal Reserve is expected to provide crucial updates on monetary policy based on last week’s inflation data. At the same time, geopolitical tensions are rising after Trump's airstrikes on Iran-backed Houthi forces. However, gold has yet to respond significantly to these developments, suggesting that traders are looking for more confirmation before the next big move. 📊 Key Technical Levels 🔹 Support Levels: 2982 - 2976 - 2966 - 2948 🔹 Resistance Levels: 2994 - 3004 - 3015 - 3034 🎯 Today's Trade Setups 🟢 BUY ZONE: 2975 - 2973 📍 SL: 2970 🎯 TP: 2980 - 2984 - 2988 - 2992 - 2998 🔴 SELL ZONE: 3033 - 3035 📍 SL: 3038 🎯 TP: 3030 - 3025 - 3020 - 3016 - 3010 ⚠ High Volatility Expected – Prepare for a Breakout!

GOLD hit 3000$ The first notable event is the Bank of Japan (BOJ) monetary policy meeting on Tuesday, followed by the US Federal Reserve (FED) interest rate decision on Wednesday. The Swiss National Bank (SNB) and the Bank of England (BOE) will announce their interest rate policies on Thursday. These moves can directly affect the strength of the USD and capital flows into gold. This expert believes that if the FED maintains a "hawkish" stance and takes a cautious view on cutting interest rates, the USD may continue to strengthen, putting pressure on gold prices. On the contrary, if the signals from the FED are more easing, the precious metal may maintain its upward momentum. Commodity experts at Macquarie have raised their gold price forecast to $3,500 an ounce by the third quarter of 2025. They had previously targeted $3,000 for mid-year, but gold prices have hit that mark earlier than expected.

WTI increased slightly and decreased rapidly, downtrend TVC:USOIL prices rose slightly by about 1% in Asian trading on Monday before falling sharply, largely due to the continued US military crackdown on Houthi militias. US Pete Hegseth said on Sunday that the US military will continue to fight the Houthis until they stop attacking international shipping lanes. The US has previously conducted airstrikes in Yemen, causing casualties among Houthi fighters. The Houthis have hinted that they could take stronger retaliatory actions, adding to market concerns that the situation in the Red Sea will continue to escalate. While geopolitical tensions pushed oil prices higher, concerns about global economic growth limited gains. Goldman Sachs analysts have lowered their oil price forecasts based on the following points: • The Trump administration’s new tariffs on Mexico and Canada could restrict global trade and lead to lower-than-previously expected US economic growth. • The slowdown in economic growth will lead to lower oil demand, and Goldman Sachs expects oil demand growth in the coming months to be lower than previously estimated by the market. • OPEC+ supply could exceed expectations, and while the market is currently focused on the situation in the Middle East, overall supply remains relatively abundant. • The market expects signs of a slowdown in the US economy to keep oil prices under pressure in the long term, although geopolitical factors could still support prices in the short term. In addition, the market is paying attention to the Federal Reserve's interest rate meeting on March 18-19. The market expects the Fed to keep interest rates unchanged while continuing to assess the impact of the Trump administration's policies on the economy. If the economic outlook continues to deteriorate, the possibility of the Federal Reserve adjusting its policy this year cannot be ruled out. WTI Crude Oil Technical Outlook Analysis TVC:USOIL On the daily chart, WTI crude oil is temporarily in the accumulation phase but with the current position and structure, the downtrend is still dominant with the short-term trend being noticed by the price channel, the medium-term by the price channel and the nearest pressure from the EMA21. The recovery momentum of WTI crude oil is also limited by the 0.50% Fibonacci extension level, and as long as crude oil fails to move above the EMA21 and break above the price channel, it still has a main bearish outlook. In the short term, the downside target is around $65, the low since September 10, 2024, followed by the 0.786% Fibonacci extension. Notable positions for the WTI crude oil downside trend will be listed again as follows. Support: $66.63 – $65.33 Resistance: $67.85 – $68.52 – $69.07

The Resistance area is also shown as a key level for potential price rejection. Traders should look for confirmation of price action near these levels to assess the likelihood of further movement toward the Target around 84,000.

Gold buy Target 3050 on this analysis Contrarian Perspective (Bearish Case) Instead of a breakout, the price could fail to sustain above the resistance and reverse downward. The double top formation suggests a potential bearish reversal rather than a continuation. If price breaks below the support level, it could invalidate the bullish setup and lead to a decline towards 2,900 or lower 2. Fundamental Disruptions Macroeconomic factors like interest rate hikes, inflation data, or geopolitical instability could change the trend unexpectedly. Unexpected news (such as central bank decisions on gold reserves) could cause volatility, disrupting the predicted movement. 3. Market Manipulation Risks Whale activity or institutional traders might push the price in the opposite direction to trap retail traders. False breakouts could occur before the actual move, stopping out early traders. 4. Alternative Technical Patterns Instead of following the expected support bounce, price might consolidate in a range. The resistance zone might turn into a supply zone, leading to a prolonged sideways movement

XAUUSD - Short Trade after Resistance Test ($3,005 - $3,010)Short after Resistance Test ($3,005 - $3,010) 📌 Entry: Sell within the $3,005 - $3,010 range if there is a clear rejection and price weakness. 🎯 Take-Profit 1: $2,985 (immediate support) 🎯 Take-Profit 2: $2,970 (recent lows) 🛑 Stop-Loss: $3,015 (above resistance) 🔹 Probability: High – Confirmed by weak volume on rallies and strong resistance. Trade Rationale: Key Resistance Zone ($3,005 - $3,010): This level has historically acted as a supply zone, where sellers step in to push prices lower. If price action shows rejection (e.g., wicks or bearish engulfing candles), it confirms a high-probability short setup. Weak Volume on Rallies: Volume analysis suggests that bullish momentum lacks strong participation. A rising price with decreasing volume often signals an exhaustion of buyers, increasing the probability of a reversal. Technical Indicators Align: RSI (Relative Strength Index): Overbought or showing bearish divergence, signaling potential downside pressure. MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): Losing bullish momentum or forming a bearish crossover, indicating potential for a pullback. Donchian Trend & Moving Averages : Price is testing upper Donchian bands and key moving averages are suggesting overextension. Risk-Reward Ratio: > The stop-loss at $3,015 ensures protection against false breakouts. > The first take-profit ($2,985) targets the nearest support, locking in quick profits. > The second take-profit ($2,970) aligns with recent swing lows, maximizing the downside potential. Final RRR (TP2) is 1 : 3,4 Conclusion: A rejection from the $3,005 - $3,010 resistance zone presents a solid short opportunity, backed by weak bullish momentum, technical confluence, and favorable risk-reward. If the price fails to break higher and shows signs of rejection, this trade setup has a strong probability of success. ⚠️ Final Warning: Trading involves significant risk, and past performance does not guarantee future results. Always use proper risk management and never trade with money you can't afford to lose. This analysis is for educational purposes only and not financial advice. What do you think about this setup?

2 reasons the peso rally may not be over The USD/MXN has fallen over 2.5% in the past five trading sessions, dropping below 19.9 per USD for the first time since November 2024. Two key factors could be driving this move: 1. Investor distrust in the U.S. dollar – Market confidence is weakening due to Trump’s inconsistent tariff threats and other unpopular policies. In contrast, the Sheinbaum government’s kid-glove handling of Trump is securing favourable trade concessions. 2. Attractive interest rate differential – With Banxico’s benchmark rate at 9.5%, the peso remains appealing for carry trades. The Federal Reserve’s decision this week could widen this gap further. Last week’s subdued U.S. inflation data is helping to fuel speculation of earlier Fed rate cuts, which may continue to support the peso despite trade uncertainties.
