USDSEK Bearish break-out imminent.The USDSEK pair is testing the Internal Higher Lows trend-line of the 2-year Channel Down pattern, below both the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) and 1D MA200 (orange trend-line). Having made its last Lower High just above the 0.786 Fibonacci level (similar to the previous Lower High), it is technically expected to break the Internal Higher Lows trend-line and extend to a new Channel Down Low towards the end of the year.
As you can see the structure of this pattern is very symmetrical and with the last Lower Low being just above the -0.186 Fibonacci extension, we expect the next to be at 9.7500 at least.

USDJPY 6H / Will Speculators Rebuild Yen Shorts Amid Volatility?Will Speculators Rebuild Yen Short Positions?
Recent CFTC data on FX positioning reveals that the net short positions on the Japanese yen (JPY) have decreased for the fifth consecutive week, dropping to 11,354 contracts as of August 6. This marks the lowest level since March 2021, coinciding with the USD/JPY decline to a nine-month low of 141.67 on the EBS platform. Just a month earlier, when USD/JPY was near 162, the net yen short positions had reached 184,233 contracts, the highest in 17 years.
The recent unwinding of JPY shorts presents a clean slate for speculators who anticipate a repeat of the price action seen after a similar yen-funded carry trade unwinding in late 2023, which drove USD/JPY down to around 140.

USD/CHF: Liquidity Grab at 0.84323 Signals Long SetupThe USD/CHF pair recently grabbed liquidity at the 0.84323 level, aligning with a significant demand area, which has sparked a potential reversal. Following this initial reversal impulse, we are closely monitoring this zone for a long entry.
The liquidity grab at 0.84323 is noteworthy, as it indicates a possible shift in market dynamics, with a strong buying interest emerging at this critical level. This demand area has historically provided robust support, making it a key level to watch for a sustained upward move.
Our analysis of the supply and demand dynamics supports the case for a long position. The current market structure suggests that the demand zone at 0.84323 is poised to hold, providing the foundation for a bullish continuation. Additionally, the seasonal trends for USD/CHF historically favor upward movements during specific periods, further reinforcing the potential for a price surge.
The Commitment of Traders (COT) report adds another layer of confirmation to this setup. The data indicates that large traders and institutions have begun accumulating long positions in USD/CHF, signaling growing confidence in a potential upward trend.
Given the confluence of the liquidity grab at 0.84323, the strong demand area, supportive seasonal trends, and bullish signals from the COT report, we are looking to go long on USD/CHF. The technical and sentiment indicators suggest a favorable environment for a price surge, making this a promising opportunity for traders.

USD/JPY:Liquidity Grab at 142.000 Signals Long Setup OpportunityThe USD/JPY pair recently experienced a liquidity grab around the 142.000 area, which coincides with a key demand zone. This convergence of factors presents a compelling opportunity for a long setup, especially when analyzed in conjunction with the Commitment of Traders (COT) report, seasonality trends, and our supply and demand analysis.
The liquidity grab at 142.000 is a critical event, as it often indicates a shift in market sentiment. In this case, the price dipped into a demand area where buying pressure is expected to intensify. This zone has historically acted as a strong support level, making it a prime candidate for a reversal and an upward move.
Our analysis of the COT report further strengthens the case for a long position. The data suggests that large traders and institutional investors are increasingly positioning themselves on the bullish side of USD/JPY, indicating confidence in a potential upward trajectory. This shift in market sentiment aligns with the technical indicators we've identified in the 142.000 demand area.
Seasonality trends also play a supportive role in this setup. Historically, certain periods have favored the US dollar against the Japanese yen, leading to upward movements in the pair. This seasonal pattern, combined with the current technical and sentiment-based factors, creates a favorable environment for a long position.
Given the liquidity grab at 142.000, the confluence with a demand zone, and the positive signals from the COT report and seasonality analysis, we are looking to enter a long setup in USD/JPY. Traders should consider this opportunity, as the potential for a significant upward move appears strong.

Trading the Inflation Sandwich: What to Watch?Trading the Inflation Sandwich: What to Watch?
US CPI inflation (Consumer Price Index).
The CPI report is expected to confirm a continuation of the disinflationary trend observed in recent months. Analysts predict the annual inflation rate to edge down to 2.9%, while the core inflation rate is likely to decelerate to 3.2%.
This ongoing cooling of inflation could bolster expectations for the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to lower interest rates in September.
Should inflation continue its downward trajectory, the FOMC may shift its focus to job numbers with greater intensity.
Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) rate decision
Of the 31 economists surveyed by Reuters, 9 expect the central bank to maintain its Official Cash Rate (OCR) at 5.5% for the ninth consecutive meeting, while 12 forecast a 25-basis point rate cut.
A decision to hold could lend support to the New Zealand dollar (NZD), whereas a rate cut might exert downward pressure.
Traders might like to keep an eye on the AUD/NZD cross, with key resistance and support levels possibly at $1.0975 and $1.0843
UK CPI inflation
Following the Bank of England’s (BoE) recent decision to cut the Bank Rate by 25 basis points to 5.0%—the first reduction in four years—a fresh inflation report is due from the UK.
Headline CPI inflation for July is expected to rise to 2.3% year-on-year from June's 2.0%, with estimates ranging from 2.0% to 2.4%.
Core inflation, which excludes volatile items like food and energy, is projected to hold steady at 3.5%, with a slight margin of variation between 3.3% and 3.5%.
XAUUSD 11/8/24Following up on gold this week, we have an area of demand relatively close to the current price action, near where it ended last week. We believe this area could be tested, and if so, we’ll look for either a decisive push back up or a failure. We are strongly bullish on gold and believe it is likely to run higher, aligning with the institutional liquidity moving in the form of trendline liquidity. We could see a sell-off near the high to encourage sellers to place their stops above it. Overall, we expect the high to be breached. If we don’t reach this high and instead pull back lower, we will look for buying opportunities near the lower end of the overall range, just below the low established on Thursday, the 25th. This level holds significant liquidity, so it could be targeted. Our main focus is for the price to shift into the bullish narrative that we recognize on the higher time frame. We’re simply waiting for the price to show us what it wants to do.
Trade your plan, follow your risk management, and always trade based on what price shows you, not on what you want it to do.
EURUSD 11/8/24This week in EUR/USD, we have liquidity placed above our highs in a bullish range. Last week, we played bearish within price action, ultimately putting in these highs to form liquidity. Based on this, we could run the liquidity coming into this week, or we may drop further into the range. We have met the 50% level of the range, so there is sufficient liquidity behind price to shift it higher.
Now, of course, we have some fundamentals coming up this week, so price may shift accordingly. Overall, we are looking for price action to run the highs as we remain bullish, with fundamentals favoring dollar weakness. This leads us to believe that this scenario could play out. There is a hotspot within this liquidity, marked by our golden line, where price may react to sell back for a deeper retrace or blast through and take the high.
We have a very clear area of demand at the base of our range. If we drop lower, we can look for that area to react. The main point is to follow what price is actually showing you, rather than what we want to see.
Trade safe and follow your plan.
