Beyond Technical Analysis

Good BUY Opportunity GBPJPYThis morning, we observed a notable increase in retail short positions across multiple timeframes, clearly diverging from the rolling averages. This shift in sentiment aligns with a symmetrical triangle breakout to the upside. Currently, the price is making a minor pullback to retest the triangle’s upper boundary—a setup we definitely want to take advantage of. Our stop-loss is placed just below the second higher low at 190.50, protecting the trade structure. The target is set at the full amplitude of the triangle breakout. We'll continue monitoring retail sentiment for additional confirmations, with the intention to gradually increase the long position if conditions remain favorable.

GBPJPY LONG IDEASo, if you have followed my updates, I have a strong bias of where I expect the pound yen to deliver price. I'm not saying that it'll do just that today or maybe even next week, but its the draw on liquidity with IPDA that invites me in. Cutting to the chase, I'm looking for an area where might be a good institutional support level and then take the shot. It might be a OSOK( One shot one kill) model or not, but that's my view.

US Dollar Weakens: Hedge Funds Shift to Short PositionsThe U.S. dollar, long considered a bastion of stability, is facing a significant shift in sentiment as hedge funds begin to adopt a bearish stance. This reversal, marking a notable change since the period following Donald Trump's election, is driven by a complex interplay of economic uncertainties and evolving market expectations. Factors Driving the Bearish Turn: • Shifting Federal Reserve Expectations: o A key driver of this bearish sentiment is the evolving outlook on the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. Initially, expectations of a strong dollar were bolstered by projections of limited Fed rate cuts. However, growing concerns about the fragility of the U.S. economy have led to increased expectations of multiple rate reductions. This shift in expectations weakens the dollar's appeal. • Economic Uncertainty and Trade Policies: o Concerns surrounding potential trade wars and the impact of certain economic policies are also weighing on the dollar. Uncertainty about future trade relations and their potential impact on U.S. economic growth is creating apprehension among hedge fund managers. o The impacts of possible public sector job cuts, and restrictive immigration policies, are also adding to the economic uncertainty. • Data from the CFTC: o Data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) reveals a clear trend. Speculative traders have moved from holding significant long-dollar positions to net short positions, indicating a substantial shift in market sentiment. • Global Economic Factors: o The relative strength of other global economies also plays a role. If other global economies are showing signs of stronger growth, that can also put downward pressure on the dollar. Implications of a Weaker Dollar: • Impact on Global Trade: o A weaker dollar can have significant implications for global trade, potentially making U.S. exports more competitive while increasing the cost of imports. • Inflationary Pressures: o A depreciating dollar can also contribute to inflationary pressures within the U.S. as import prices rise. • Investment Flows: o Changes in the dollar's value can influence international investment flows, as investors adjust their portfolios in response to currency fluctuations. Market Analysis: • Analysts are closely monitoring these developments, with some revising their dollar forecasts downward. The shift in hedge fund positioning underscores the growing uncertainty surrounding the U.S. economic outlook. • It is important to understand that the currency markets are very dynamic, and things can change rapidly. • The effects of political events, and world wide economic changes can have very large effects on the dollar. In essence, the shift in hedge fund sentiment reflects a growing recognition of the complex economic challenges facing the U.S. As these challenges unfold, the dollar's trajectory will remain a key focus for investors and policymakers alike.

XAUUSD SELL NEXT MOVE STRATEGY DOWN Potential Bullish Scenario The analysis assumes a strong downward move, but buyers could defend key support levels, especially near strategy support and double-top strong support. If the price holds above these levels and forms a reversal pattern (like a double bottom or bullish engulfing candle), we could see a rally back to sell zone and double top resistance. 2. Market Structure Shift The assumption here is a continuation of the downtrend, but a breakout above the resistance zones could invalidate this bearish bias. A fake breakdown below support could trap sellers and fuel a short squeeze rally. 3. Fundamentals & News Events If there’s any fundamental catalyst (e.g., Fed announcement, inflation data, geopolitical tension), the market could reverse direction unexpectedly. Gold tends to react strongly to macroeconomic events, so technical analysis alone might not be enough to predict the next move

Today analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNasdaq The Nasdaq closed higher, forming a gap up on the daily chart. It showed a strong, one-directional rebound up to the 5-week moving average on the weekly chart. Since the 5-week MA overlaps with the 60-week MA, it's unlikely to break through easily without a short-term correction. On the daily chart, the MACD has formed a golden cross, meaning that even if a pullback occurs, the strategy should remain buy-on-dip oriented. There is still an open gap down to 19,960, which could be filled at any time—so it's important to consider the possibility of a retest of that level. If the gap is filled, that area could be a good support zone to buy from. On the 240-minute chart, strong buying momentum entered around the zero line, confirming a breakout after basing in a range. Therefore, buying on pullbacks remains the preferred approach in this structure. Crude Oil Crude oil continued its upward move, closing higher on the daily chart. With strong support around the $68 level, the market could potentially rise toward the $70 zone, and possibly test resistance between $70–$71, which is a key area to watch closely. Overall, traders should continue to buy on dips, but be cautious with chasing long positions above $70. If taking short positions, they should be managed with tight stop-losses. On the 240-minute chart, oil appears to be in the midst of a third wave rally, so any short positions should be considered above $70, while buying pullbacks remains valid. Current Middle East tensions and U.S. sanctions on Venezuelan oil are contributing to a supply risk premium in oil prices. Since the market is recovering from the lows and showing a positive technical setup, short trades should be managed carefully with proper risk control. Gold Gold closed lower, remaining within its range-bound structure. On the daily chart, gold is currently trading between the 3-day and 5-day MAs above, and the 10-day MA below, forming a narrow consolidation zone. This makes sell-at-highs and buy-at-lows strategies effective. Since there's room for a pullback to the 5-week MA on the weekly chart, chasing longs is not advised. If the MACD crosses below the signal line, this could create a bearish divergence, leading to potential sharp downside, so caution is warranted. On the 240-minute chart, the MACD is failing to break above the signal line and continues to decline. However, since the signal line remains above the zero line, a rebound attempt is likely, even if the MACD dips below zero. Given the current slope and distance, it's unlikely that a golden cross will form soon. Also, traders should keep in mind that major economic data such as GDP and PCE reports are scheduled later this week, which could influence market direction. If you can understand the daily chart structure, you can better anticipate intraday high/low ranges and potential wave patterns. Make it a habit to perform thorough daily chart analysis each day, and prepare a trading scenario that suits the market’s behavior. As always, questions are welcome.
