The BIS trading market refers to the role of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) as a key intermediary and facilitator in global financial markets, particularly in foreign exchange (FX) and central bank transactions BIS is a secretive institution with sovereign immunity that can move trillions without oversight. aka central bank of central banks in Basel Swissland with over 63 members in the world which are centrals banks of countries that make up 95% of world GDP. Key Points about BIS and Its Trading Market Role: Central Bank’s Central Bank: BIS acts as a bank for central banks and international organizations, providing banking services such as accounts, gold and currency transactions, asset management, and short-term collateralized loans. Market Intermediary: BIS frequently conducts large-scale transactions on behalf of central banks in the foreign exchange and gold markets. These trades are often substantial, reflecting central banks’ reserve management or monetary policy operations. Avoiding Market Misinterpretation: When BIS buys or sells currencies or assets, it is usually acting for a central bank, not itself, helping avoid markets mistaking these large trades for speculative or official government interventions. Forum for Cooperation: BIS provides a platform for central banks to exchange information, coordinate policies, and cooperate on monetary and financial stability, which indirectly influences market dynamics. Research and Statistics: BIS publishes data and analysis on global banking, FX, derivatives markets, and financial stability, supporting informed decision-making in the trading community.

US Context: The Federal Reserve held rates at 4.25%–4.50%, prioritizing inflation control despite slowing growth . 2. Interest Rate Differential and Carry Trade Advantage Yield Spread: The UK 10-year gilt yields 0.16% more than the US 10-year Treasury, creating a modest yield pickup for GBP-denominated bonds .

Policy Shifts: BoE rate cuts (expected August 2025) may narrow the yield spread , while Fed cuts could reduce USD rate advantages . 3. Market Outlook UK Focus: Inflation persistence may delay BoE cuts, supporting GBP yields near-term . US Focus: Fed’s "higher for longer" stance and tariff-related inflation risks could sustain USD yield appeal . Carry Viability: The USD-GBP strategy offers a slight edge (0.13% carry) but requires hedging against GBP appreciation risks. Summary Yield Advantage: UK 10-year gilts yield 0.16% more than US Treasuries, but USD short-term rates are 0.25% higher. Optimal Carry: Borrowing GBP to invest in USD assets (0.13% carry) is marginally favorable, though policy uncertainty warrants caution. Critical Factors: Monitor BoE/Fed rate decisions and GBP/USD trends for carry trade adjustments.

Trade Idea: Buy GBP/USD (Short-Term Opportunity)### **📈 Trade Idea: Buy GBP/USD (Short-Term Opportunity)** **Bias:** 🔼 Bullish **Timeframe:** 🕒 Short-Term (few days to a couple of weeks) --- ### **💡 Why Buy GBP/USD?** **🇺🇸 USD – U.S. Dollar:** * **Real yields dropping, Fed turning cautious** → *📉 Less return = less demand for USD. Dovish Fed tone opens the door for weakness.* * **Fund managers are heavily short USD** → *📊 Big bearish positioning = market already leaning against the dollar.* * **Inflation sticky, but no urgency to hike** → *🔥 Keeps Fed cautious, not aggressive — supports slow USD drift lower.* * **Limited safe-haven demand despite global tensions** → *🕊️ Markets are no longer rushing to the dollar during global stress — a shift in behavior.* * **Sentiment: Bearish** → *📉 USD remains under pressure unless inflation re-surges or Fed surprises hawkishly.* --- **🇬🇧 GBP – British Pound:** * **Yes, UK data is soft — but so is the USD** → *⚖️ It’s a relative game. GBP has room to bounce if risk sentiment holds.* * **BoE expected to cut in August — but no panic** → *🏦 The easing path is gradual. GBP isn’t collapsing — markets had time to price this in.* * **GBP oversold and holding 1.2660 support** → *🛑 Price structure suggests buyers are defending key levels.* * **Weak USD = GBP breathing room** → *💨 Even a soft pound can float when the dollar is sinking.* * **Sentiment: Mildly bearish, but stabilizing** → *📈 GBP might not be strong — but it’s showing signs of bottoming.* --- ### **🔍 Outlook:** **This is a dollar-weakness play more than a pound-strength one.** If GBP/USD holds above 1.2660, there’s room to ride a slow grind toward 1.2800+. Risk is limited unless July CPI surprises hawkishly or BoE turns dramatically dovish. ---

GBPUSD Trend UpdateWeekly time frame showed a bearish engulfing candle, creating double top formation, and at the daily timeframe, it broke the trend line of the ascending wedge, creating long big engulfing bearish candlestick, showing a strong bearish momentum. We can see a Doji candle as a rejection for the AOI @1.3460, so there is a big probability that the trend will continue its downward momentum toward the next support area @ 1.3260 AOI. Let's keep an eye on the chart at the opening of the market and look for a sell. Good Luck!

GBP/USD Potential Bullish ReversalGBP/USD Potential Bullish Reversal 📈🦾 📊 Technical Analysis Overview: The chart showcases a well-defined horizontal range between the support (~1.31900) and resistance (~1.36200) zones. The price action has respected these levels multiple times, forming a clear accumulation zone at the bottom and rejection at the top. 🔄 Pattern Formation: A Rounded Bottom (Cup) structure is visible forming from the June low. The price made a bullish bounce near the key support level at 1.33930, marked by an orange circle, suggesting a potential higher low formation. The blue downtrend line from the recent high (red arrow) has been broken, indicating a trend reversal attempt. 📍 Current Price: 1.34494 🎯 Target Zone: 1.35734 🛑 Support to Watch: 1.33930 📈 Bullish Confirmation: A break above the minor neckline (around current price) would confirm a cup & handle breakout with a projected target of 1.35734. Strong buying pressure and higher lows are reinforcing bullish strength. ⚠️ Risk Management Tip: A breakdown below 1.33930 would invalidate the bullish setup and could retest the major support zone (~1.31900). ✅ Bias: Bullish, unless price closes below 1.33930 🕒 Outlook: Short- to Mid-term Upside Potential

The Top 3 Indicators to Use In Forex TradingAnother bull market is on the way,so this had to lead to some war, and crazy stuff on going. The forex market is a very important metric to watch. - To be honest with you i dont trade forex pairs anymore but its important to watch this market to understand global economics and the banking systems. - So if you ever trade forex dont use more than 2x Margin. the average return on forex pairs is about 20% per year. - Will i ever go back to trading forex? - probably not.Right now am in Bitcoin. Eventhough i will keep giving updates on forex pairs. Because Forex trading is what inspired me to learn how to trade in the beginning. Its the same chart pattern but this time we are focussed on the weekly time frame. Because i dont have a paid membership to tradingview i am only able to share with you weekly trades and not day trade. These posts are not day trading strategies. Instead they are weekly trading strategies thats the reason why you should not use margin.Because weekly trades are more volatile. This forex pair is the best in the forex market in terms of performance.So unless you trading this forex pair OANDA:GBPUSD Your returns wont be huge without margin. But from a long term mindset, you should expect 20% annual return. On this chart we used: -Stochastic RSI -The 50 EMA -The 200 EMA Interpreting these indicators does take time to understand them.Its very important that you understand them very well. Rocket boost This content to learn more. Disclaimer:Trading is risky please use a simulation trading account before you trade with real money.Also learn risk management and profit taking strategies first.Do not use margin.
