Chart vs. HeadlinesLet's debunk some headlines like "The Dollar is Bearish!" and dig into the real chart dynamics. On the weekly chart, a bullish trend is evident, despite a retracement that might seem bearish. Always consider the bigger picture. The recent retracement is a mere blip compared to the overall uptrend. 🔍 Key Levels to Watch 🔍 Zoom out and observe the retest happening on the previous high. Keep a close eye on whether the market breaches 145.24. The next crucial level to watch is 152.02. Chart analysis trumps online articles. Don't just read, define your levels strategically. 💡 Daily Chart Insights 💡 Approaching the previous high on the daily chart, counter-trend traders might eye shorting opportunities. However, wait for candlestick confirmation before executing. Personally, I see a breakout trading opportunity, not an aggressive short. 📊 Four Hour Chart Dynamics 📊 New highs surpassing previous structures on the four-hour chart indicate the bullish trend persists. This trend isn't over. One hour chart mirrors this pattern—a break of prior resistance. 📚 Mastering Market Analysis 📚 If you're passionate about analyzing markets like I am, employing clear rules for buying and selling levels is vital.

On the daily chart, a crab pattern at 150.39 forms, with a Bat pattern completion at 149.16. ⚙️ Shorting Opportunities ⚙️ For those inclined towards shorting, the ABCD pattern on the four-hour chart sets a stage at 147.80. My focus? Buying opportunities. A pullback to 144.02 holds potential for a buying window. 🔎 Immediate Insights 🔎 On the one-hour chart, a closer level of interest stands at 144.46—a promising buying opportunity within the buy zone.

Forex Journal #1- GBPUSD Counter TradeIn my journal, I'm noticing GBPUSD made a new lower low on the 4 hour timeframe. Although price in in an uptrend as clearly seen on the daily and weekly timeframe, any sells taken will be a countertrend trade. I prefer to trade down to my weekly estimation zone 1.27585 and entering on the 4 hour timeframe to keep the stop loss small. Trade at your own risk and risk level. I'd love if you can reply your thoughts and like the video for more.

Tricky Times, I'm Counter-Trend Now!💲 Despite my Dollar Bias, all eyes are on US Secretary Treasure, Ms. Janet Yellen's upcoming speech in Bloomberg. Analyzing her insights could confirm the dollar's bullishness for the year ahead. 📈 On the Daily Chart (right), there's an outside bar on the support line. Patient traders await one more day's candlestick before deciding their next move. 📉 If you're determined to short USDJPY, keep an eye on the 1-hourly chart (left) at 138.89, as long as the market stays within the sell zone. It's worth considering. 📈 On the other hand, if you're bullish, pay attention to the key level at 138.21 for a potential head and shoulders pattern, indicating a buying opportunity. ⚖️ If you're torn between shorting and buying, observe how the market behaves at 138.21. A violation confirms your short, while no violation means a tough decision awaits.

Counter-Trend on USDJPY📉 This week, I'm keeping a keen eye on a counter-trend trading opportunity for USDJPY. I'm patiently waiting for a potential shorting opportunity at the Key Resistance Level of 142.96. ⚠️ However, it's important to note that despite this shorting opportunity, my overall bias remains bullish on the US Dollar. This week appears to be a retracement week in the market. Stay tuned as we navigate through market movements and identify potential trading setups. Let's make the most of this retracement period! 💪💼 #USDJPY #CounterTrendTrading #ShortingOpportunity #RetracementWeek #StayTuned

Finally, Shorting Opportunity📉 After a week of waiting, the market has finally retested my preferred entry price for a short position on the Bearish Crab Pattern(daily chart), which complements the Bearish Shark Pattern(weekly chart) at the 88.50 level. Check out the link article in the TradingView post for a refresher on last week's discussion. 💼 Trading is all about minimizing initial stop-loss and maximizing profits sensibly. 🔄 A retest of the key resistance level at 88.60 on the 1-hourly chart would confirm this trading idea for me. 🔝 This trade holds the highest priority for me in the upcoming week. Share your highest priority trade for the week! 📊💭

Dollar-Yen Remains Bullish📉 The analysis on USDJPY remains bullish, but for now, we're on the lookout for counter-trend trading opportunities. 🔄 📉 The Bearish Fib-3 Bat Pattern at 149.15 offers a potential shorting opportunity, although it may take some time to validate. 📉 Alternatively, a break of the trendline on the 1-hourly chart could provide a more immediate shorting opportunity. We're watching for a retest without violating the trendline. ⚠️ However, the trendline hasn't been convincingly broken yet, as the candlestick failed to close below it. 🔍 USDJPY is currently of lower priority for trading this week.

Shorting Opportunity🔍📊 Current Market Overview: I'm closely monitoring the EURUSD pair for a potential shorting opportunity on the higher timeframe. However, at the moment, two buying opportunities have emerged, which deserve our attention. Let's dive into the details: 🦋 Bullish Butterfly Pattern: On the daily chart, we have identified a Bullish Butterfly Pattern with completion anticipated at 1.0355. This pattern suggests a potential buying opportunity, indicating a reversal in the price action. It's crucial to keep a close eye on the price as it approaches this level. 🦈 Bullish Shark Pattern: Another interesting development is the Bullish Shark Pattern observed on the 4-hourly chart. This pattern is expected to complete around 1.0764, signalling a potential buying opportunity. However, it's important to remember that these patterns occur in the context of a counter-trend trading strategy. 💼 Trading Strategy: Given the absence of a clear shorting opportunity, I will adopt a conservative approach and focus on the identified buying opportunities. I will set conservative targets for these trades while remaining vigilant for a suitable shorting opportunity to align with my overall strategy.

USDJPY retracement at the highAfter a few indecision candles at the high, followed buy a volume push up to a major resistance, I became alert that a bearish setup might present. Friday closed off with a variation of a bearish engulfing. When price closes beyond a price then closes right back beneath it its a sign that this price is being rejected. Naked analysis tells us that the 1hour chat has already began its downward momentum. A minor double top formed. My short entry was based on the high volume bearish engulfing re-test at the neckline. The 30MIN chart has begun creating its lower highs and lower lows. This is a short scalp. the buy will likely present later in the week.

Correlation Matters No More For the longest time, I've been saying that the correlations between the currency pairs have been weakened. Traders have asked me why I have NZDJPY and NZDUSD in my portfolio. Doesn't it move in the same direction? Over the years, these correlated pairs move pretty differently. And recently, the WTI and Gold have no longer moved in an inverse relationship. So yeah, I'm treating them as their own. Although both the 4-hourly and 1-hourly charts show buying opportunities through a potential Bullish Bat Pattern and a Bullish Shark Pattern, I'm more interested in waiting for a shorting opportunity on the 5-0 Pattern. What's your take on the NZDUSD?

Dollar Bias!My Bias for Dollar Appreciation started on 14 Oct 2021; it has been right after all. The leading trade I'm looking at is a buying opportunity on the 1-hourly chart, left and might keep my final target open and observe the candlestick pattern movement when it approaches its new resistance level. If you are looking for a counter-trend move, I've something for you. A Bearish Butterfly Pattern that seems to complete at 141.65; in order for this trading setup to complete, the candlesticks pattern must touch 141.51 within the next 2 candles, which means within 8 hours after the market opens.

Best of Both WorldsMy long-term bias on Dollar Appreciation had not ended, however, that doesn't mean I can't short the Bearish Crab Pattern that was completed at 140.42. If you had traded this, it would have given you 106pips(approx. 1,060usd/lot) of running profits. If you are like me, having the bias to long the USDJPY, the Bullish Gartley Pattern that completes at 137.84 could provide you with such a trading opportunity. Either way, the M.C confirmation has to appear in both situations.

Counter-Trend MoveThis could be for you if you are waiting for a counter-trend move. A Bearish Gartley Pattern is expected to complete at 1.2605, but the earliest for that is on 12 Jun 23, 1200(utc+3); any earlier than that, the trade would be invalid. If a break and close above 1.2605 occur, I will wait for an M.C confirmation at 1.2659 on the ABCD pattern. Both of these Harmonic Patterns are counter-trend moves. On GBPUSD, that means a pullback trade. Overall, my sentiment remains bullish on the GBPUSD.
