GBPNZD: Will it have the force to go long? YESThe GBPNZD situation presents a bearish structure, highlighted by three recent touches on the trendline. However, it currently sits within a demand zone on H4, where yesterday I observed a bounce at the 62% Fibonacci level, supported by an H4 candle. This bounce, in my opinion, is worthy of consideration. Shortly after, the market experienced an uptick, also supported by the demand zone, with a structural change to the upside on M15. If we had entered the position yesterday, the trade would still be open and showing a modest profit. Currently, the goal is to await a retest of the demand zone before transitioning from an H4 to an M15 chart, where I will assess whether there will be a structural change to the upside for a long entry. Additionally, I will move my entry directly to the market if the last bearish candle before the impulse shows a pin bar or a doji. Otherwise, if it's a bearish structure candle, I will place a buy limit at the high of that candle. In the event this scenario occurs, my target will be the 2.0952 level, where a previous high with liquidity yet to be filled is located. I will keep you updated on the situation's developments. Best regards and happy trading to everyone from Nicola.

NASDAQ: Is it time to go short?Analyzing the NASDAQ, we see several significant factors. The quote is approaching weekly highs, and the performance over the last five days is positive, with a 0.35% increase, indicating strength in the market. However, the volatility over the last five sessions is higher than the three-month average, signaling a period of uncertainty and fluctuations. Nevertheless, both in the previous semester and in the last twenty sessions, a bullish price trend is observed, suggesting a positive long-term trend. Looking at support and resistance levels, the main support area is at 17480.0, while the resistance area is at 18040.0. A potential trend change could occur with a drop below the support area at 17040.0, indicating a possible reversal of the bullish trend. The net speculative positions of traders on NASDAQ 100 futures have decreased compared to the previous week, reflecting some uncertainty among operators about future market prospects. Monitoring the performance of the bond market is crucial, as an increase could shift demand towards bonds at the expense of stocks. Currently, the annual yield of the US ten-year treasury is increasing, which could influence the technical analysis of the NASDAQ. Furthermore, a more detailed analysis at the H4 timeframe level reveals that the market is oscillating around a supply area, suggesting the possibility of a structural change. An approach could be to wait for a change at M15 and then consider entry on the retest of an M15 supply area, with a target at 17560. If the price closes completely outside the M15 supply area, it could change the perspective, requiring further confirmation before deciding on operations. In conclusion, although the NASDAQ shows signs of strength in the short term, it is essential to evaluate volatility and support/resistance levels. Trader positions and the performance of the bond market provide further insights into market sentiment and future prospects. Greetings and happy trading to all.

Smart Money Orderflow M15 ApproachIn this context, we define an intelligent order flow, which is a convergence of flows, in this case, downwards, leading the price to create congestions, i.e., internal breaks, and then consolidation phases, i.e., external breaks, which bring the price into the demand zone, where we should consider opening a long position subsequently. The pattern is clear: demand zone on H4 after a defined structural change with the main consolidation phase, and then we expect a retest in the demand zone, where it is highly likely that the price may reverse its direction, especially when analyzing the market from an M15 perspective. I remain available for further clarifications, greetings, and happy studying to all.

Mitigation + BOS M15 Setup In this scenario, we examine a very common approach: trend continuation. The particular aspect of viewing it in this light compared to simply looking at trendlines is how we can identify demand zones and structural changes called BOS. Prices always tend to retrace in these zones before continuing. Personally, I identify demand or supply zones at H4, and once the price retraces, I look for rebounds at M15. In that timeframe, I aim to identify a structural change to the upside if I'm looking for a long position. Sometimes during an uptrend, it's very common to identify inefficiencies or FVG, which in turn support the price during retracement. Best wishes and happy trading to all.

Pullback After Breakout Entry M15 ApproachIn this model, we define an approach that I personally use a lot, namely the creation of a demand or supply zone on the H4. In this case, we are observing a demand zone. Once the zone has been plotted on the chart, we wait for a retracement on the M15, and as soon as the market shows a structural change, in this case to the upside during the three London, pre-NY, and NY sessions, always considering to have the midnight open behind us, we can enter the market. The target will be the nearest swing high level, always considering to have at least a risk/reward ratio of 1.5. Best regards and have a good day everyone.

USD/JPY | New High and Low with the Bearish Channel Broken!On the USDJPY front, the potential for a swing analysis is once again evident, highlighted by the recent foray into the supply zone. Specifically, the swing levels prove to be highly sensitive, precisely delineating the actual liquidity areas that the price reaches. Currently, the price stands at 148.39 after a strong breakthrough, following the NFP data, above the upper side of a bearish channel. A retracement is now expected to retest the channel, considering the high sensitivity of the price in the supply zone. Subsequently, a possible upward movement towards 149.50 is anticipated, surpassing the first supply area and bouncing in the second supply area marked on the chart, where a significant sell-off could bring the price back to 144. Turning to the fundamental analysis, the data on Nonfarm Payrolls in the United States has been exceptional, with the creation of 353,000 new jobs, surpassing the forecast of 180,000 and exceeding the upwardly revised December numbers from 216,000 to 333,000. The unemployment rate remained unchanged from the previous month's data, standing at 3.7%. Following this report, the yield on the US 10-year Treasury note, closely correlated with the USD/JPY pair, rose from around 3.90% to 4%, gaining more than ten basis points (bps). The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the dollar's value against a basket of currencies, increased by 0.67%, reaching 103.76, after dipping to a low of 102.90. Meanwhile, a hawkish stance by the Bank of Japan (BoJ) has increased the likelihood that Governor Kazuo Ueda and his team will end the negative interest rate cycle. Greetings to all and have a great weekend.

GBPUSD is calm before the storm towards 1.27GBP/USD continues to stay in positive territory above 1.2600 during Wednesday's American session. The pair benefited from improved risk sentiment on Tuesday, recording a 0.5% increase and offsetting much of Monday's losses. The decrease in US Treasury bond yields led to the depreciation of the US dollar against its major rivals on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Bank of England (BoE) Deputy Governor Sarah Breeden stated on Wednesday that she is less concerned about further increases in the bank interest rate, emphasizing her focus on the duration of rates at current levels. After a relatively static day, the market created a new demand area after a slight increase, targeting liquidity around 1.2330. Now, I expect a retest of the demand area with a subsequent increase towards 1.2730. I will evaluate the situation tomorrow morning during the opening of the London markets to see if there are conditions for a long entry. Wishing everyone good trades and hoping for increased volatility in the coming days.

EURUSD | The situation is crucial after the NFPEUR/USD has recovered to the 1.0750 area and stabilized during the day after dropping towards 1.0720 in Tuesday's European session. The US dollar maintains its strength across the currency market, despite the momentum easing along with the run-up in government bond yields. Financial markets are still digesting the global delays in interest rate cuts, which are not expected to come as soon as anticipated. In Asia, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) announced its monetary policy decision, leaving rates unchanged as widely expected. However, local policymakers have joined the cautious trend, stating that further rate hikes cannot be ruled out. Asian stocks saw mixed trading, with Chinese indices supported by government intervention. On the data front, Germany reported an 8.9% month-on-month increase in factory orders in December, surpassing market expectations. Conversely, the Eurozone reported a 1.1% month-on-month decrease in retail sales for the same month, worse than expected. Graphically, the breakout of a downward channel at H4 with a price retest, which may extend further downwards, even though few movements are expected in the coming sessions in the absence of news; expecting major surprises will be difficult. The market may retrace to the 1.0714 level, corresponding to the 62% Fibonacci level, or to the 1.0650 level, i.e., the 0.705% Fibonacci level. So I expect to start evaluating a long position in that area. Greetings and good evening to everyone.

XAUUSD New lows approaching $2010After a quiet European session near $2,020 on Tuesday, gold turned higher and surpassed $2,030. Following Monday's sharp increase, the yield on the benchmark 10-year US Treasury bond fell by more than 1% during the day, allowing XAU/USD to rise further. Financial markets are all focused on delayed interest rate cuts after central bankers worldwide have tempered investors' expectations for tighter monetary policies. Tuesday saw the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) join the cautious stance, with policymakers deciding to keep the door open for further rate hikes if conditions require. Meanwhile, solid US macroeconomic data have further diminished the chances of a Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cut. As a result, government bond yields have risen, supporting the US dollar. Additionally, on a chart level, there is an uncertain recovery in gold, which could return to the $2050 area to regain liquidity at the 0.705 Fibonacci level before dropping to the $2010 zone. This is my expectation at H4, and I will carefully monitor the changes in this pair. Regards and happy trading to all.

Equal High & Low SweepToday I wanted to talk about two scenarios concerning market structure: the equal high for a bullish structure and the low sweep for a bearish structure. The crucial point of each setup, as always, is to identify a structural change called BOS. From there, I start looking for a demand or supply zone in the market where we should pay attention to observe the price return. This price return should occur as indicated in the setup, with the market starting to consolidate and form a double bottom or top of momentum. It is also important to consider the presence of a liquidity zone, as this will be our primary target zone, followed by the minimum or maximum of the structure. I wish everyone happy trading and remain available for further discussions on the matter.

The Best Entry on the MarketIn this model, we will examine a tactical approach to achieve high-performance entry. It all starts with an uptrend characterized by continuous structural changes. In fact, there are continuous directional changes until the retest of the supply zone on M30. Subsequently, the market reacts to this zone by pushing downwards and generating a CHoCH. Here, switching to a 1-minute timeframe, it will be possible to wait for a retest of the supply zone before entering. The trade will target the session or daily low. Greetings and happy trading to all.

New Approach on Forex: Inducement LowIn my analysis model, I focus on a bearish structure, where I identify the so-called "false demand zones" (SM Trap). It all starts with a supply zone, where the price begins to decline, creating a liquidity zone with a double bottom. Subsequently, the price retests the supply zone, declines again, and breaks the false demand zone, generating another one. Then, the market starts forming decreasing lows and highs, clear signals of the ongoing bearish trend. This is where I pay attention, as it constitutes a clear signal of the developing trend. To enter the market, I prefer identifying an FVG M15, targeting weekly, daily lows, or the H4 timeframe, in line with my trading plan. I find it crucial to observe the evolution of lows and highs, as their decrease further confirms the bearish trend. I wish everyone happy trading and success in their operations.

GBPUSD | 1.2626 will be the new high before the crash!The GBP/USD, after a significant descent, has finally reached the demand zone at the level of 1.2535. In this area, I anticipate a possible upward structural change on M15 during tomorrow's London session. Subsequently, I could consider entering the market with the goal of reaching the level of 1.2626, where a significant liquidity volume is present. Regarding the fundamental analysis, the GBP/USD has again been subject to bearish pressures, touching the lowest point since mid-December below 1.2550 on Monday. The widespread strength of the US dollar, fueled by impressive labor market data and the recent optimistic PMI report, continues to influence the pair. During the North American trading session, the GBP/USD recorded losses of 0.74%, trading at 1.2535. Factors such as last Friday's US economic data and comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell over the weekend keep the US dollar higher in a risk-off context. Jerome Powell stated in an interview that it is premature to consider rate cuts, emphasizing that the goal of pushing inflation towards its 2% target has not been fully achieved. In last week's January Nonfarm Payrolls report, 353,000 Americans were added to the workforce, while the unemployment rate remained stable at 3.7%. US Treasury yields remain high throughout the day, supporting the greenback as investors recalibrate their bets on Fed rate cuts. Last week, they estimated the Federal Funds rate (FFR) to reach 3.96%, but following Powell's weekend comments, they expect it to reach 4.26%. Consequently, the US Dollar Index (DXY) rises by 0.44%, reaching 104.42.

EURNZD | Rally towards 1.7826 before the Crash!EUR/NZD is showing an upward trend with a rising momentum that aligns perfectly with the demand zone. Here, the price is reacting in the early hours of today, right at the Fibonacci level of 0.62%. This area could propel the price towards the upper part of the bullish channel, approaching the supply zone where a liquidity grab may occur, creating false expectations on the upside above the level of 1.7825. This might be followed by a descent towards the demand zone at 1.7580, which the price has not yet touched. It is precisely in that area that I will assess a long entry with a structural change at the M15 level. Currently, the strategy is to be patient and await a retest. I will keep you updated on the evolving situation. Greetings and happy trading to everyone.

The Best Strategy of 2024: Reversal Entry ModelGood morning, today I would like to draw your attention to a model that I am integrating into my analyses for this year. In this model, we define simple structural changes either downwards or upwards, in this context downwards using two BOS. Subsequently, we define the main demand zone where the price retests. After the retest, the price breaks upwards the structure creating a CHOCH, or an internal breakout. Afterwards, the price will move into a lateral phase accumulating a lot of liquidity, and as it is known, as soon as the price absorbs liquidity above or below a range, it then moves in the opposite direction of the filled liquidity. In this case, liquidity is absorbed below in the order block zone and the price moves upwards. I recommend supplementing charts with this model and identifying these setups starting from an H4 timeframe which can be simpler compared to smaller timeframes. Best regards and happy trading to everyone.
