NAS100USD: Anticipating Bullish Shift in Range-Bound MarketGreetings Traders! In today’s analysis of NAS100USD, we observe price consolidating within a range. While the overall sentiment remains bearish, I anticipate a bullish reversal aligning with projections from yesterday's analysis. Key Observations Discount Price Accumulation: Price is currently trading at discount levels where institutions have consistently targeted sell stops. These stops are being order-paired (bought against), signaling institutional accumulation in preparation for a move toward premium prices. Engineered Liquidity Above Resistance: The Resistance Zone has been identified as Engineered Liquidity, where buy stops (stop losses, pending orders, etc.) reside. This liquidity pool is a prime target for institutions to sell off their positions against willing buyers. Institutional Profit Targets: Institutions that accumulate long positions at discounted levels will look to book profits in premium zones, aligning with our strategy to target liquidity pools above the current resistance. Trading Strategy Entry Zones: Focus on buying opportunities at key institutional support levels in the current range, awaiting confirmation of bullish price action. Targets: The primary objective is the liquidity pool above the Resistance Zone, as institutions are likely to drive price into this area for profit-taking. For further insights into the rationale behind this bullish bias, refer to yesterday’s detailed analysis. Yesterdays Analysis: Stay vigilant and patient for confirmation before executing trades and make sure to do your own research before investing. Kind Regards, The Architect

EURUSD: Pullback before the crash!The EUR/USD continues its downward trend, recently touching a new cycle low around 1.0176 as the US Dollar maintains its relentless rally, fueled by rising expectations that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates elevated for an extended period. The Greenback’s strength has been amplified by a fifth consecutive bullish session, with the DXY surpassing the critical 110.00 level. Investors have sharply revised their outlook on Fed policy, reducing the probability of significant rate cuts in the near term. This shift in sentiment follows a robust Nonfarm Payrolls report and hawkish remarks from Fed officials, emphasizing the priority of taming inflation before contemplating further easing. On the policy front, while the Fed recently trimmed its benchmark rate to 4.25%-4.50%, Chair Powell’s cautious tone during the final press conference of 2024 left markets in little doubt that any future rate cuts will be gradual. Powell underscored the need to anchor inflation closer to the 2% target and pointed out that despite some softening, the labor market remains resilient. This narrative has bolstered USD demand and widened the divergence with the European Central Bank’s stance. In contrast, the ECB faces mounting pressure to sustain its easing cycle amid a deteriorating economic outlook across the eurozone, particularly in Germany, where industrial performance has been lackluster. Despite a marginal rise in inflation figures for December, ECB policymakers seem committed to prioritizing growth over inflation control in the short term. This divergence in central bank policies has created a headwind for the euro, further weakening EUR/USD and increasing the likelihood of a test of parity. Adding to the complexity, potential trade policy shifts under the incoming US administration could inject additional volatility. Proposals for renewed tariffs could stoke inflationary pressures in the US, compelling the Fed to adopt a more aggressive tightening stance. Such a scenario would exacerbate the euro’s struggles, as a stronger USD and continued ECB easing would widen the interest rate differential between the two economies. Looking ahead, the focus will remain on key data releases, including US CPI and Retail Sales, alongside eurozone Industrial Production and German inflation data. These reports will offer crucial insights into the respective economic trajectories and may set the tone for future price action. However, in the current context, the EUR/USD appears poised to remain under pressure as the fundamental backdrop heavily favors the Greenback. Until there is a significant shift in economic or policy expectations, the pair may continue its march towards parity.

NAS100USD: Are We Witnessing the Start of a Bullish Takeover?Greetings Traders! In today’s analysis of NAS100USD, the overall trend remains bearish; however, compelling signs suggest a potential shift toward bullish price action. Here are the key confluences supporting this outlook: Key Observations: 1. Higher Highs Established: Recent price action has formed higher highs, indicating a potential shift from breaking bearish structure to targeting bullish objectives. 2. Transition to Buy-Side Curve: Significant structural breaks suggest a move away from the sell-side curve into the buy-side curve. This transition redefines key bullish order blocks created during the sell-side curve as reclaimed order blocks, now acting as strong institutional support zones. Reclaimed Order Blocks Explained: These occur when bullish order blocks, previously hedged during sell-side curve are reclaimed by institutions. The down candles within these zones signal areas where institutions are likely to initiate new buying opportunities. Trading Strategy: Entry Zones: Look for buying opportunities within reclaimed order blocks, which now function as robust institutional support zones. Targets: Focus on liquidity pools located at key highs, double tops, or failure swings. These areas serve as institutional profit-taking zones where buy stops reside, offering favorable order pairing opportunities. By aligning with institutional behavior and following the transition to the buy-side curve, we can strategically capitalize on potential bullish momentum. Stay vigilant and await confirmation before entering trades. Kind Regards, The Architect

Bearish move coming up for XAUUSD?Daily timeframe: Price is currently trading around 2689, with price action hovering around our HTF OTE zone (2685-2696.4). H4 Timeframe: Price is currently trading within our H4 ascending channel and has met with our H4 SnR zone + at the resistance trend line. I would expect a minor push up before a nice breakout sell soon, this is also supported with DXY’s price actions as I would expect DXY to retrace a little to an area of discount before pushing up higher. Furthermore, fundamental news thus far puts the US Market in a good condition for more growth, and hence, putting technical and fundamental analysis together, I would expect a correction for XAUUSD in the following days/weeks. Stay tuned!
