USD/JPY Direction 151 After the BoJ📊 Market Context As of March 18, 2025, the USD/JPY exchange rate stands around 149.38, reaching its highest level since March 5. This movement is driven by expectations regarding upcoming monetary policy decisions from both the Bank of Japan (BoJ) and the U.S. Federal Reserve. 🔍 Technical Analysis The technical analysis of USD/JPY highlights the following key points: Current Trend: USD/JPY shows a moderate recovery, with a 0.49% increase on March 17. Key Resistance: The area between 150.00 and 151.00 represents a significant resistance level. A decisive breakout above this zone could pave the way for further gains. Important Supports: Support levels are found at 148.00 and 146.50. A drop below these levels could indicate a deeper correction. Technical Indicators: Moving averages and key oscillators suggest a short-term bullish trend. 🌍 Fundamental Analysis Several fundamental factors are influencing the USD/JPY exchange rate: BoJ Decision: The Bank of Japan recently raised its key interest rate from 0.25% to 0.5%, citing higher wages and rising inflation. However, for today's meeting, the BoJ is expected to keep rates unchanged while assessing the impact of global trade tensions on the Japanese economy. U.S. Monetary Policy: The Federal Reserve is expected to keep interest rates stable in the upcoming meeting, with the Fed Funds rate projected to remain between 4.25% and 4.5%. Trade Tensions: U.S. trade policies under the Trump administration are creating economic uncertainties, influencing central bank decisions and currency markets. 🎯 Conclusion USD/JPY is currently in a consolidation phase near recent highs. If the BoJ maintains an accommodative monetary policy and the Fed keeps rates stable, the dollar could continue strengthening against the yen, targeting the key resistance level of 151.00. However, uncertainties related to trade tensions and future central bank actions require close monitoring by investors.

Hold ( Long Term )Hello folks! I have already identified potential long-term buying zones. However, most of these zones are based on smaller time frames, which could make them invalid. Additionally, there are numerous imbalances that the price is likely to move toward. I assume that the FOMC events will likely drive the price to these areas before reaching a new all-time high. Please make sure to confirm your trades before entering the market! Have fun trading, and always practice proper money management.

MNQ 9:30 Open Trade Idea 💡 Trade Idea shown live here, beautiful setup that was respected very nicely during the 9:30 open. The area we pointed out on the previous video: Where I stated price was likely trading up to fill in that FVG before dropping lower was respected perfectly. I was rendering the video above when it happened. Hence, why you see me enter late here. I could have been more patient and waited to enter at the 50% of the bearish fvg level. But regardless, I was able to profit $31 and make back the $30 I was in drawdown for. Had this been NQ we would've made over $695 on this one trade. This is teaching us discernment in our decision making and how to trust our bias and trade ideas. We caught over 130 points on this one MNQ trade and the potential was over 400 points as shown on this video. We were targeting the bullish 1h fvg and sellside liquidity (equal lows) If you guys found this insightful give it a like and comment down below. I would also love to know if any of you guys would like me to share any specific ideas or go over anything in particular. Let me know!

EUR/USD Direction 1.10 - Technical and Fundamental Analysis📊 Market Context As of March 18, 2025, EUR/USD is in a strong bullish expansion phase, with the price testing significant resistance levels. The US dollar remains solid, but market attention is focused on the Federal Reserve and the ECB, with expectations of more accommodative monetary policies in the coming months. 🔍 Technical Analysis The chart analysis reveals a bullish trend with the following key points: Main Resistance: 1.0912 - 1.10 area (potential reversal zone highlighted in red on the chart). Key Supports: 1.0822 (former resistance now acting as support), 1.0360, and 1.0283 (deeper support levels highlighted in yellow). Market Structure: The price has tested the monthly resistance around 1.0912 and entered a potential reversal zone where significant price reactions are expected. Bullish Momentum: The trend shows strong bullish candles, indicating a possible continuation toward 1.10. 📌 Possible Scenario: If EUR/USD decisively breaks 1.0912 and closes above 1.10, there could be room for a further rally toward 1.12. 📌 Alternative Scenario: A rejection at resistance and a close below 1.0822 could trigger a bearish correction toward 1.0360. 🌍 Fundamental Analysis US Data: Consumer confidence in the United States has dropped to its lowest level since November 2022, increasing the likelihood of a Fed rate cut by June. Monetary Policy: The ECB is maintaining a more neutral stance, while the Fed may be forced to cut rates faster to support the economy. Capital Flow: The market is anticipating US dollar weakness due to the outlook for rate cuts, supporting a possible euro appreciation. 🎯 Conclusion Main Bias: Bullish above 1.0822, targeting 1.10 and beyond. Trend Invalidation: Below 1.0360, the bullish trend would weaken. EUR/USD could consolidate in this area before breaking above 1.10. The future direction will depend on upcoming central bank statements and macroeconomic data.

MNQ 12:00PM Trade EntryThis is one of the trades we took today which was very good trade, however due to me targetting the buyside liquidity all the way at 19,788.75 caused me to not realize my profits at the 16:00 mark. I was full of emotions today and I believe its just old patterns that I am working on breaking. We had a great trading week last week, so we must remain level headed and focused. I can see here that my problem today was just not taking profits due to wanting to hold for bigger trades. This is something we must break from and fix in our trading. When I am more focused on quick trades targeting near term liquidity pools it is when I am most confident. But I realize as I start getting better trades I tend to try to hold on to them more, specially after last week where we caught over 800+ points. We were able to catch over 1,000+ points today, the sad part is... I was at work and did not enter on my funded challenge, I entered it on paper demo just to see the results of the trade and let me tell you, it broke my heart to not have entered because it FLEW to my TP. This is part of the journey though, and I realize I must get a hold of these emotions and anxiety to get into trades and make money. 3/17/2025 - 12:01pm -12:14pm (13 minute trade) 3:00 was our entry 16:00 Should have been our TP. (We should've realized that the next 1h candle that opened at 1pm would have a manipulation lower) We could've utilized the IFVG once again at 12:46pm for the entry for the perfect trade idea. This was around the area where I entered on my DEMO. - We used the 1H FVG which was used as support near its 50% - Volume Imbalance from 11:33am -11:34am candles. It was used as support - We also respected the Bearish FVG (turned IFVG) from the 11:33am candle. We can also see that we create a inverse head and shoulders pattern 2 times near this area. The first one we caught the trade, just failed to take TP at 16:00 mark at the 19,741.50 high. The second Inverse head and shoulders pattern occurred 1:03-1:05pm. This was also a slight tap above the 1h bullish fvg which was the final piece needed to take price higher to fill in the 4h SIBI from the March 10, 2025 6:00am candle. We ended up taking a total loss of $214 on our Top step account today after all trades.

Nasdaq 100 (NQ1!) - Key Levels and Market Outlook 📌 Market Structure 🔹 Key Support Zone (~19,170 USD) The price recently bounced off this level, which has acted as a significant support area. The highlighted gray-blue zone represents a demand area where buyers stepped in. 🔹 Intermediate Resistance (~19,800 - 20,200 USD) The price is currently testing this zone, which was previously a key breakdown area. A strong rejection here could push the index back towards the 19,170 USD support. 🔹 Major Supply Zone (~21,500 - 22,400 USD) The previous peak around 22,400 USD saw strong selling pressure, leading to a sharp drop. The red-shaded area represents a heavy supply zone where sellers were dominant. 📉 Bearish Scenario A rejection at 19,800 - 20,200 USD could lead to another retest of 19,170 USD. A break below 19,170 USD would expose the index to further downside, possibly towards 18,500 - 18,200 USD. 📈 Bullish Scenario A break and close above 19,800 - 20,200 USD could trigger a move towards 21,000 - 21,500 USD. A sustained breakout above 22,400 USD would invalidate the bearish structure and signal a continuation of the uptrend. 🔎 Conclusion: The Nasdaq is at a pivotal moment, hovering around key resistance at 19,800 - 20,200 USD. A breakout or rejection from this zone will determine the short-term direction. Key factors to watch include economic data, Fed policy, and overall market sentiment.

USOIL Market Outlook – Key Levels and Scenarios📌 Market Structure 🔹 Key Support Zone (~64.50 - 65.30 USD) The price has tested this area multiple times, highlighted by the red dashed line at the bottom. A pronounced lower wick suggests a possible exhaustion of bearish pressure. 🔹 Intermediate Resistance (~68.20 - 70.00 USD) The price has reacted to this zone, which appears to be a former support turned resistance. Caution is needed for potential rejections in this range. 🔹 Liquidity and Wider Supply Zone (~75.00 - 80.00 USD) This area, marked with red/purple gradients, represents a selling zone with a high concentration of orders. The price could be drawn to this level if the bullish phase continues. 📉 Bearish Scenario Failure to break above 68.20 - 70.00 USD could lead to a retest of 64.50 - 65.30 USD. A breakdown below this level could open the way toward 62.40 - 60.00 USD. 📈 Bullish Scenario A weekly close above 68.20 - 70.00 USD could trigger a recovery toward 75.00 - 77.00 USD. A breakout above 80.00 USD would invalidate the long-term bearish structure. 🔎 Conclusion: The price is currently at a critical stage around 68 USD, with potential for a pullback. Monitoring the reaction between 65.30 - 68.20 USD will be key in determining the next direction. Volume and macroeconomic factors (OPEC, oil inventories, Fed policies) will be crucial in confirming the trend.

$XAUUSD IdeaWhen analyzing gold, we observe a monthly chart with a bullish structure. However, the monthly candle left a low without an apparent wick, which may indicate a region to be liquidated in the future. On the weekly chart, the asset confirmed a break in structure, reinforcing the continuation of the bullish movement. On the daily timeframe, we identify a possible CRT formation, suggesting that the price might correct to seek liquidity in a discounted region before resuming its bullish trend. Based on this analysis, our main Draw on Liquidity are the PDL and the CRT low, which coincide with an FVG in the discounted zone. This could be the region where the price finds support to continue its upward movement. On the 1H chart, we identify a formed range and are focusing on a key level in the premium region. On the 15M timeframe, we observe an order pairing that aligns with the 1H key level, making it a potential reaction point for a sell-off. This could be the ideal area to look for short trades. For stronger confirmation, it would be ideal to see an SMT with silver during this mitigation. It is important to note that this is only an initial projection. The true confirmation that the price will hold in this FVG will depend on the market’s reaction upon reaching this zone.

Weekly Market Analysis - 16th March 2025 (DXY, NZD, ES, BTC)This is weekly market analysis of a few pairs (DXY, NZD, ES, BTC). I haven't done one of these in a while, but here it is! I would have done more pairs but the video was already 30 minutes long and I went into more teaching rather than pure analysis. I hope you found it insightful to your own trading, because what I teach is the truth of the market regardless of whatever specific strategy you use for trading. Anything can make money in the markets, but of course, risk management and discipline rule all. - R2F Trading

$DXY IdeaFor the DXY, on the monthly chart, we remain in a consolidation bias, as the price is trapped within a range formed by two FVGs. However, when analyzing the yearly candles, we notice a macro bearish bias, since the 2025 candle has swept the 2024 high and is now targeting the annual lows. Since we trade intraday, it is essential to analyze other timeframes to confirm a trading bias. On the weekly chart, we observe that last week's candle swept the previous week's low and closed within the range, indicating a potential correction. This makes sense, as the DXY has extended significantly in recent weeks and is currently discounted, which may lead the price to a premium zone before resuming its downtrend, in line with our macro bias. Additionally, based on the economic calendar, there is a possibility that the weekly low will be formed on Monday, which could create an opportunity for a counter-trend trade at the beginning of the week. However, this type of trade carries high risk, requiring caution and confirmation before entry. For this week, we are looking for bullish opportunities up to equilibrium or until the price shows resistance to continue rising. However, this initial outlook will only be confirmed as price action develops throughout the week. It is also important to note that this will be a challenging week, due to a lack of significant news events and a Federal Reserve speech on interest rates, which could significantly impact the market and increase volatility.
