FTSE INTRADAY bullish sideways consolidation Trend Overview:
The FTSE100 equity index remains in a bullish trend, characterised by higher highs and higher lows. The recent intraday price action is forming a continuation consolidation pattern, suggesting a potential pause before a renewed move higher.
Key Technical Levels:
Support: 8800 (primary pivot), followed by 8760 and 8700
Resistance: 8940 (initial), then 8977 and 9010
Technical Outlook:
A pullback to the 8800 level, which aligns with the previous consolidation zone, could act as a platform for renewed buying interest. A confirmed bounce from this support may trigger a continuation toward the next resistance levels at 8940, 8977, and ultimately 9010.
Conversely, a daily close below 8800 would suggest weakening bullish momentum. This scenario would shift the bias to bearish in the short term, potentially targeting 8760 and 8700 as downside levels.
Conclusion:
FTSE100 maintains a bullish structure while trading above the 8800 support. A bounce from this level would validate the consolidation as a continuation pattern, with upside potential toward the 8940 area. A breakdown below 8800, however, would invalidate this view and suggest deeper corrective risk.

DXY Eyes Key Long-Term Support from 2008The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) is currently trading near three-year lows, reflecting concerns over economic fragility and heightened geopolitical tensions.
If price action holds below 97, the DXY could face additional pressure, potentially descending toward the lower boundary of a long-term channel that has held since the 2008 lows. Key support levels at 96 and 94 may offer potential rebound zones.
Monthly RSI reflects more downside potential towards oversold conditions last seen in 2021. To reverse the current bearish momentum, the index would need to regain and hold above the 100-mark, which could shift sentiment back toward a bullish rebound outlook against the markets.

The Midyear Mindset Reset: Reboot Your Trading Before Q3Because nothing says "trader growth" like admitting you’ve been winging it for six months.
👋 Welcome to Halftime — How’s Your P&L Looking?
June’s closing bell isn’t just a date on the calendar — it’s that awkward moment where traders stare into the middle distance, coffee in hand, and quietly whisper: “Well… that went differently than I expected.”
Whether you’ve been racking up wins, nursing drawdowns, or simply surviving market whiplash, midyear is nature’s way of handing you a clean slate. Before Q3 throws its inevitable curveballs, now’s your chance to pause, reset, and actually look at what the heck you’ve been doing. And, of course, prepare for the next batch of earnings reports .
Spoiler: if your trading strategy this year has involved equal parts hope and caffeine, you’re not alone.
🔥 The Year So Far: Markets Kept It… Interesting
Let’s quickly recap 2025 so far (because trauma processing is healthy).
The Magnificent Seven? More like the Magnificent Two-And-A-Half. Meta NASDAQ:META and Microsoft NASDAQ:MSFT ran victory laps while everyone else tripped over AI headlines or regulatory landmines.
Nvidia NASDAQ:NVDA moonwalked into trillion-dollar territory, then stumbled after export bans — but somehow still has every fund manager whispering “Blackwell” like it’s a secret password.
Bitcoin BITSTAMP:BTCUSD set new highs north of $110K (who needs fiat when you can have memes?).
The Fed teased cuts, inflation teased persistence, and Trump teased… well, everyone.
And summer trading arrived with its usual low-volume traps, giving us breakouts that break hearts and liquidity that disappears faster than your broker’s customer support.
In short: volatility? Check. Opportunity? Absolutely. Discipline? That depends on whether you’re still following your rules or trading on vibes.
By June, most traders have crafted elaborate narratives in their heads. You know the type: "This breakout is different," "The Fed has to cut next month," and "There’s no way Nvidia can keep running like this."
The problem is, markets don’t care about your narrative. They care about price, volume, sentiment — and sometimes, absolute chaos. That beautifully clean chart setup? It’s not asking for your prediction. It’s begging you to respond with discipline, not bravado.
The traders who thrived in the first half didn’t win by forecasting every twist in the macro plotline. They won by following the tape. The breakout happened? They took it. The stop-loss hit? They respected it. That’s not luck — that’s execution.
🫶🏻 Emotional Capital: The Real Balance You Should Be Watching
P&L tells one story. Emotional capital tells another.
By June, a lot of traders aren’t out of money — they’re out of discipline. They’ve been revenge trading after a string of losses, chasing AI headlines that already ran, and convincing themselves they can “make it all back” on the next oversized position.
Do you know that feeling?
Resetting your trading mindset at midyear means recalibrating that emotional bankroll. Start by reviewing your trading journal (yes, you’re supposed to have one ). Revisit the trades that made sense and the ones that make you cringe. Recognize your patterns — your strengths, but also your weaknesses. Success leaves clues and there are lessons in failures.
💭 Clean Up the Clutter
There’s a special type of fatigue that sets in after six months of consuming too much trading content. You start layering on indicators like toppings at a frozen yogurt bar — RSI, MACD, Stochastics, VWAP, Fibonacci, Elliott Waves, Gann fans... until your charts light up like the billboards in Times Square.
The truth is, the best traders heading into Q3 are simplifying. They’re not chasing complexity; they’re chasing clarity. They know their setups, they trust their process, and they wait for clean signals.
Summer trading especially demands this discipline. Liquidity gets thinner, breakouts fail more often , and the tape gets choppy.
Complex systems may amplify the noise. Strip it down. Focus on price structure. Simplify your strategy so you can execute when real opportunities appear — not when your 12th oscillator blinks green.
⚾ You Don’t Need a Home Run
At this stage of the year, many traders fall into what we’ll call the desperate hero phase. They feel behind. They want to make up for drawdowns. They want “the trade” that fixes everything. If you’ve missed making bank over the first half of the year, chances are, you want to catch up — and fast.
Here’s a secret: The best traders aren’t always looking for grand slams. They’re playing small ball too — consistent singles, tight risk, controlled losses, steady gains.
Q3 isn’t about doubling your account. It’s about staying alive long enough for your edge to show up and play out. The traders who make it to year-end consistently profitable aren’t the ones chasing massive wins. They’re the ones compounding quiet, boring, disciplined trades.
Midyear Reset: Your Q3 Trading Checklist
Here’s your brutally simple plan for the back half:
✅ Journal your biggest mistakes from H1
✅ Cut your watchlist in half
✅ Size smaller than feels exciting
✅ Trust clean setups over crowded trades
✅ Stay curious — but stay selective
✅ Leave the FOMO trades to the TikTok influencers
So the real question heading into Q3 isn’t whether markets will go up or down. It’s whether you will trade better or keep winging it.
Happy midyear reset. Trade smarter, not harder.
DXY; MARKETS JITTERS AND UNCERTAINTIES.The DXY did not hold a successful break above 99.000 which was our bullish signal. Furthermore, we had US banks closed for yesterday's NY session which did not do us any good as there was minimal movements in our charts. Without volatility there is little room for profit chasing as much as our USDJPY signal was on point.
Today's session started with a gap lower towards 98.50. I don't expect a mover lower before filling the gap so that will be our first objective before any further movement. My bias still remains the same ,a clean break and hold above 99.00 will signal a healthier dollar for the short term despite the war tensions.
DXY US DOLLAR INDEXAs we can see on the chart, there’s a clear pattern emerging. The current movement of the index closely resembles the price action we saw between April 2015 and August 2018.
Assuming this fractal continues to play out, we could see more sideways movement until the end of the year — before a potential trend reversal kicks in.
#NIFTY Intraday Support and Resistance Levels - 20/06/2025A flat opening is expected in Nifty today. After the open, all eyes will be on the 24,700 level, which has acted as a key support zone recently.
🔽 If Nifty starts trading below 24,700, downside momentum may pick up, with potential targets at 24,650 → 24,600 → 24,550-. Sustained weakness below 24,700 could attract short positions.
🔼 On the upside, if Nifty reclaims 24,750–24,800 and sustains, a bullish move may trigger toward 24,850 → 24,900 → 24,950+. However, 24,950 remains a strong resistance area from the past sessions.
⚠️ Strategy Note:
Market remains in a range-bound zone; wait for a decisive breakout for positional trades.
Use strict stop-losses and manage risk actively.
Ideal approach: scalp the range with quick profit booking unless a directional move confirms.
[INTRADAY] #BANKNIFTY PE & CE Levels(20/06/2025)Today, a flat opening is expected in Bank Nifty, with price action likely to begin around 55,500 levels. There are no major changes in the key levels compared to yesterday, and the market has remained in a consolidation phase.
🔽 If Bank Nifty starts trading below 55,450, it may trigger further downside toward 55,250 → 55,150 → 55,050-. This zone has acted as intraday support recently.
🔼 On the other hand, a move above 55,550–55600 may lead to upward momentum toward 55,750 → 55,850 → 55,950+. A breakout above 56,050 could open the path toward 56,250 → 56,350 → 56,450+.
⚠️ Key Takeaways:
Consolidation continues, so avoid aggressive positions until a breakout occurs.
Watch for range breakouts above 56,050 or below 55,450 for directional moves.
Use tight stop-losses and trail profits smartly to protect against volatility spikes.
Nasdaq100 currection into ATH OANDA:NAS100USD
i was asked, are we still in an up-trending bull market?
Assuming nothing fundamentally changes with the US tech market, technicals still point to a heavy up-trend, this implies a high likelihood of US100 making an ATH again, but we are likely to see a correction back to 300 dayMA before significant liquidity supports a break of ATHs.
Who got in?🟢 NAS100 15min – Bottom Sniped to Perfection!
Another textbook bounce called in real-time by the ELFIEDT – X-REVERSION indicator.
✅ The UP signal printed at the exact low
📈 Price launched shortly after with a near vertical reaction
💥 No hesitation. No lag. No repainting.

🔍 Still watching from the sidelines?
This is what precision looks like when momentum, volatility and structure all align — and we’ve automated that edge into one system.
📌 Just follow the rules:
• Enter on the signal close
• SL below the signal bar
• Let the market do the rest

🔥 If you’re still hesitating… you might just be watching these trades instead of catching them.
Time to load up the ELFIEDT – X-REVERSION tool and trade with confidence.
I opt for Option 2 for HSINow, I hope the HSI will moves to option 2 instead of option 1. I think the latter is less likely to happen since the central government has already thrown in a lot of stimulus and time to prop up the market. To let it fall back to this low level will be discouraging and harder to get people interested to invest in the market once again.
I am also hoping the government will release more stimulus to people on the ground as consumer demand is still weak, crippling property market and weak job market. The silver lining seems to be the US- China trade tariffs issue which was resolved much quicker than expected. While there is no signed agreement for now, there are also no further escalation as well which is viewed positively by the market.
I am getting more ammunition to buy in those quality companies that i am eyeing on or averaging down some of the stocks that i am currently holding. No rush for now, just patiently awaiting..........
Where will the market goes from here ?Gap or hole to be filled up reminds me of looking at your own wallet. How many times did you realise that you were low on cash (yes in SG, we still use a lot of physical cash) and needs to go to the ATM machine to withdraw money to fill it up.
Logically, from the chart, it appears that option 2 is more likely to happen first before we think a rally picks up thereafter, right ? Nobody can tells you for certain where the market is going and that is why it is easier to REACT to the market moves and follows the trend rather than oppose it and predicts how it should moves.
At any time, there can be short sellers, institutional buyers, government agencies, algo traders, etc that are in the market with tons of cash to move the market. How can you possibly knows as a retail trader ? That is why it is wiser and financially prudent to follow the market trend and not go against it.
If it breaks up to 6126 resistance level, I will add more for the 2nd leg bullish run. However, if it falls to the support at 5741 level, I will buy slightly more as it has becomes cheaper.
Either way, I am long term bullish on the market
Reversal in Play or Institutional Continuation? | NAS100USDCritical Zone with VEP Trader ⚠️
Nasdaq 100 (NAS100USD) is showing mixed signals — and it’s exactly in these types of setups that our VEP Trader strategy shines. Here's what I'm seeing and how we're breaking it down step by step.
🔍 1. Trend Confirmation (1D)
On the daily timeframe, NAS100USD is showing a weak bullish trend based on the Support & Resistance and the Squeeze Momentum indicators.
📉 However, the most recent daily candle swept liquidity from two key days:
📅 June 6
📅 June 13
This triggers an alert in our VEP strategy: liquidity taken = institutional zone possibly in play.
💧 2. Liquidity Sweep + FVG (Fair Value Gap)
After the sweep, switching to the 1-hour timeframe (1H) reveals a large Fair Value Gap (FVG) just below the cleared liquidity zone.
This offers a potential setup — only if price returns to that FVG, and the structure validates the trade:
Retest the FVG zone
Show signs of reversal structure
Confirm with bullish Squeeze Momentum on lower timeframes
🛠️ 3. Execution with VEP Trader
🎯 If price pulls back into the FVG, we’ll be watching for:
Bullish reaction after liquidity has been swept
Clear bullish divergence in momentum
Previous support and EMA alignment in 5M/2M charts
🟢 If all conditions align → possible CALL entry based on VEP structure.
⛔ Stop Loss & 🎯 Take Profits (VEP Guidelines)
Suggested SL: below the FVG or last clean low
TP1: immediate reaction zone or recent high
TP2: next liquidity zone above. Up to four TP
Or target the last pullback for a more secure exit
✅ Final Thoughts
This is a classic scenario where we don’t guess — we wait for institutional confirmation.
The VEP Trader Strategy guides us with Vision, Execution, and Precision.
