Gold hovers at the All-Time High (ATH)Gold Analysis Update: As Gold hovers at the All-Time High (ATH), it's crucial to observe how the market behaves during the London session, which is known for its high liquidity and volatility. After taking the Asian session high, the price action is now poised to potentially revisit the marked Fair Value Gap (FVG) zone. If the market retraces to this zone and provides a bullish confirmation, such as a strong bullish candlestick pattern or a break above a key resistance level, it could set the stage for a beautiful buy-side trade setup. This would potentially offer a lucrative trading opportunity for those looking to capitalize on the ongoing bullish trend. Let's closely monitor the price action and wait for the market to provide a clear signal before making any trading decisions.

Currently trading at a key support area, we're waiting for a 1HThe USDJPY pair is currently positioned at a crucial support area, and we're closely monitoring the price action for a potential trading opportunity. Our strategy involves waiting for a 1-hour (1H) bullish engulfing candle, which would serve as a confirmation signal for a potential buy setup. If this bullish engulfing pattern materializes, we anticipate a subsequent move upwards, potentially offering a lucrative trading opportunity. However, if the market continues to consolidate within the support zone without providing a clear bullish signal, it may indicate that market makers are accumulating orders. This could be a sign of either a potential breakout or a rejection from the support level. In such a scenario, we'll need to carefully observe the market's behavior and wait for further confirmation before making any trading decisions. Our target for potential long positions would be the marked resistance area, where we anticipate potential selling pressure. Given the market's tendency to reject from key resistance levels, we'll exercise caution and closely monitor the price action around these areas. Stay tuned for further updates and analysis as we navigate the USDJPY market and look for high-probability trading opportunities.

EURJPY. TUESDAY, MARCH 18TH, 2025As we eagerly practiced patience yesterday by waiting for the market to Break above the Weekly and Daily resistance trend line, this Break came about during the later hours of the New York session. Key notes; 1. EURJPY moves, if not always, around the early hours of the Asian session, so the Break above the Weekly and Daily resistance gave me a greenlight to go long. 2. The key area to look out for today is a break and close above the Daily resistance zone at 163.816, this will indicate further momentum to the upside targeting Daily resistance areas of 166.443, 169.070 & 171.697 which are well within the daily FVG & Order Block. I am a swing trader and I use SMC strategy combined with one indicator (Pivot Points Standard).

AUDCHF: Bearish continuation - Will it reach 0.55190?OANDA:AUDCHF is trading within a well-defined descending channel, with price action respecting both the upper and lower boundaries. The recent rejection from the resistance zone suggests sellers are maintaining control, supporting a potential continuation of the downtrend. As long as the price remains below the resistance level and the channel's upper boundary holds, the bearish structure remains intact. A potential downside target is 0.55190, aligning with the lower boundary of the channel. A break and close below this level could signal further bearish momentum. However, a breakout above the resistance zone would invalidate the bearish scenario and may indicate a potential reversal or deeper pullback. Always confirm your setups and trade with solid risk management. Best of luck!

MY IDEAL MOVE FOR MNQ1!so MNQ recently broke the bearish daily gap that it had been struggling with for awhile which i expected to happen by the end of this month, and in turn it created a bullish daily imbalance. There are 2 moves that i am expecting right now, the first is for it to either stay in a range for the next 2 days and create a weekly gap, and after we fill the gap next week we push towards ATH's. And the second move is for it to fill the daily gap in these next two days and have a slow and weak approach towards ATH's or completely disrespect the daily and just range. SO MARKET RANGE FOR THE NEXT 2 DAYS IS IDEAL (for me)

USDJPY → Fake Breakdown Gives Bulls a Chance!FX:USDJPY The price dips into support and creates a false breakdown below the lower boundary of the current trend. Meanwhile, the dollar is gaining strength, which could provide an opportunity for the currency pair to rise. The price has paused near a strong support zone, as the fundamental backdrop has been increasingly unstable and heavily influenced by developments in the USA. Attention has shifted away from Japan's interest rate hikes, with market participants now closely monitoring economic data from the West. From a technical perspective, the chart presents two potential triggers—one for buying and one for selling. However, given that both the global and local trends are upward, the bias leans toward buying. If the currency pair manages to sustain above the 151.9 - 151.95 level, short- to medium-term growth toward the targets marked on the chart is likely. Resistance levels: 151.94, 153.7, 153.97 Support levels: 150.95, 149.52 That said, if the dollar's correction persists and buyers fail to capitalize on the false breakdown of support, a drop back to 150.95 could trigger a breakdown, potentially leading to a decline toward 148.64.
