META short term top at $750?I've been watching people on Twitter trying to short meta all week and get squeezed.
META has had a really strong move over the past few weeks and is now in parabolic blow off top stage, however, I think the run comes to an end between here $738 and $752.
I'll be buying puts if price can reach $750-752. Not trying to short it below that level.
Multiple Time Frame Analysis
NZDCHF - Analysis and Potential Setups (Intraday- 14.02.25)Overall Trend & Context:
The pair is in an overall downtrend on the higher time frames and lower time frames.
Technical Findings:
Price is at strong levels of supply.
HTF oversold conditions.
Extreme zone is still valid.
Will look for re-entries on LTF's to get a better RR of this setup.
Potential Scenarios:
Potential to reach new lows at 0.50600 levels.
GBPJPY Short ideaOn a solely technical analysis trade idea, I'm placing a short on OANDA:GBPJPY for the day on pre-NY session and hopefully keeping it thru the day and re-assessing how it evolves.
With a weekly bearish close, and yesterday's bearish close, I saw a Asia sweep during the london session, leaving an imbalance where I'm trading off of. The easy target is yesterday's low for a 1:3, but I'll watch it as it could go deeper if the week were to close bearish.
The Daily Edge - 14th Feb 2025Bulls Hold Control as XAUUSD Targets Higher Prices
Market Overview
Thursday’s session confirmed bullish momentum, closing above Tuesday’s bearish open and establishing a new POI for long entries near 2910.
Price opened and closed above 2900, forming a Short-Term Higher Low (ST-HL) at 2864 from Wednesday’s session.
The weekly candle continues expanding bullishly, with 2942 as the first target and a possible extension to 3000.
Key Observations
Bullish structure intact: Thursday’s close above 2910 POI reinforces the uptrend.
4H chart confirms trend strength: Consolidation → Expansion → Retracement → Continuation pattern remains valid.
Weekly expansion holding: Higher timeframe structure supports continued bullish momentum.
Our Next Steps
Manage long positions, holding as long as price respects the trend.
Monitor 4H POIs at 2910 and 2920 for re-entry opportunities.

XAU/USD 14 February 2025 Intraday AnalysisH4 Analysis:
-> Swing: Bullish.
-> Internal: Bullish.
Analysis and bias remains the same as analysis dated 11 February 2025.
As mentioned in yesterday's analysis dated 10 February 2025 that it is highly likely price will print a bullish iBOS is how price printed.
Price is currently trading within an internal low and fractal high.
ChoCH positioning to indicate, but not confirm bearish pullback phase initiation is denoted with a blue dotted line.
Intraday Expectation:
Price to continue bearish and react at either discount of internal 50%, or H4 demand zone, before targeting weak internal high, priced at 2,942.780.
Alternative scenario:
Given HTF (Daily and Weekly) have also printed bullish iBOS' it would not come as a surprise if price printed a bearish iBOS.
Note:
With the Federal Reserve's dovish stance and persisting geopolitical uncertainties, heightened volatility in Gold is expected to continue. Traders should proceed with caution and adjust risk management strategies in this high-volatility environment.
Price could also be driven by President Trump's policies, geopolitical moves and economic decisions which are sparking uncertainty.
H4 Chart:
M15 Analysis:
-> Swing: Bullish.
-> Internal: Bullish.
Analysis and bias remains the same as analysis dated 11 February 2025.
Price printed as per yesterday's analysis whereby it was mentioned price to print bearish CHoCH to indicate bearish pullback phase initiation.
Price is now trading within an established internal range.
Intraday Expectation:
Price to trade down to either discount of 50% internal EQ or nested H4/M15 demand zone before targeting weak internal high priced at 2,942.780.
Alternative Scenario:
As all HTF's are in bearish pullback phase it would be viable if price targeted strong internal low, printing a bearish iBOS.
Note:
With the Federal Reserve maintaining a dovish stance and ongoing geopolitical tensions, volatility in Gold prices is expected to remain elevated. Traders should exercise caution, adjust risk management strategies, and stay prepared for potential price whipsaws in this high-volatility environment.
M15 Chart:
BUY trade on GBPAUDthe price was in downtrend but we can see he shifted to uptrend after bearking the last LH creating a HH HL
the price broke the hh and continue up storngly but at some he start losing the momentum doing dome kind of a pullback my enry was at the broken HH after the price gives a retest then the confirmation on lower scale
GBPUSD Bearish Continuation Following NFP and BOE Rate cuts.Fundamental Analysis:
NFP Report Impact: On Friday, after the NFP reports, the price spiked higher but then continued to decline, indicating a strong US Dollar compared to the British Pound.
BOE Economic Factors: The Pound is struggling with production issues and the recent rate cut by the Bank of England highlights its weakness. In contrast, the Federal Reserve is expected to maintain rates until at least June, further showcasing the strength of the US Dollar.
Technical Analysis:
Last week opened with a gap to the downside but closed bullish.
This week also has also started with a gap and price is looking to fill it.
London Session Expectation: Looking for price to move higher during the London session to mitigate the 1-hour SIBI left at
1.2425
after sweeping liquidity at
1.2422
(NY PM High on Friday).
Will want to short above daily/weekly open
Target Levels:
Targeting Thursday's low @1.23600
Overall target is last week's low @1.2250
NB don't forget to manage risk and have an open mind since we follow what the market is printing not what we wish.
US30 is consolidating at resistance levelsPrice is moving in an ascending price channel on the bigger time intervals
Price is also currently consolidating between our supply and demand areas
Waiting for price to decline again at supply before going short
And a breakout of our current support level can also push price lower towards demand levels.
EURUSD 14 Feb 2025 W7 - Intraday - EU GDP - US Retail SalesThis is my Intraday analysis on EURUSD for 14 Feb 2025 W7 based on Smart Money Concept (SMC) which includes the following:
Market Sentiment
4H Chart Analysis
15m Chart Analysis
Market Sentiment
1. Impact of CPI and PPI on Inflation Expectations
CPI Outcome: The headline CPI rose to 3.0% YoY (vs. 2.9% forecast), while core CPI increased to 3.3% YoY, signaling persistent inflationary pressures 10. However, the market reaction was muted due to mixed signals.
PPI Analysis: The headline PPI exceeded forecasts (3.5% YoY), but key components linked to core PCE inflation (the Fed’s preferred metric) suggested a potential moderation. Analysts noted that softer PCE data next week could ease Fed tightening fears, supporting risk assets like the Euro.
Investor Positioning: Futures traders now price in 33 basis points of Fed cuts in 2025, up from 29 basis points pre-PPI, indicating growing optimism about disinflation.
2. Trump’s Reciprocal Tariffs: Negotiation vs. Trade War
Tariff Announcement: Trump’s directive to formulate reciprocal tariffs (e.g., 25% on steel/aluminum) was not immediately implemented, with a delayed enforcement timeline (potentially April). Markets interpreted this as a negotiation tactic rather than an escalation into a trade war.
Market Reaction: The USD weakened (DXY fell to 107.25) as investors focused on the negotiation window and avoided panic-driven safe-haven flows. The Euro benefited from reduced trade-war fears, rising to $1.0469 in early Asian trade.
3. Geopolitical Optimism and Risk Sentiment
Ukraine-Russia Peace Talks: Reports of potential territory swaps and Trump’s mediation efforts bolstered risk appetite. A resolution could alleviate Eurozone energy and supply-chain pressures, supporting EUR/USD.
Equity Market Stability: European stocks (e.g., Euro STOXX 50) pared losses, with sectors like utilities and healthcare outperforming. This resilience reduced demand for the USD as a safe haven.
4. Central Bank Dynamics
The ECB is expected to cut rates further (market pricing in 3 cuts in 2025), while the Fed maintains a cautious "higher-for-longer" stance. However, softer PCE expectations may narrow this divergence, favoring EUR/USD.
5. Key Risks and Catalysts Today
U.S. Retail Sales & Industrial Production:
Forecasts suggest a 0.2% MoM decline in retail sales (first drop in 5 months) and slower industrial production growth. Weak data could amplify USD selling.
Tariff Negotiation Updates: Any hints of tariff implementation timelines or retaliatory measures from the EU/China may reignite volatility.
Final Sentiment Summary
Short-Term Bias: Cautiously Bullish for EUR/USD.
Support Factors: Soft PCE expectations, delayed tariffs, and geopolitical optimism.
Investors will monitor retail sales data and tariff rhetoric for intraday momentum shifts. A softer PCE print next week could solidify bullish sentiment, while tariff escalation remains the primary risks.
4H Chart Analysis
1️⃣
🔹Swing Bullish
🔹INT Bearish
🔹Reached Swing Extreme Demand
🔹Swing Continuation
2️⃣
🔹With the deep pullback to the Bullish Swing extreme discount and mitigating the 4H/Daily demand zones, price turned Bullish forming a Bullish CHoCH.
🔹The current Bullish move from Swing extreme discount to current price level having 2 scenarios (Previously I’d the following 2 scenarios where now I favors the 2nd scenario due to the impulsive nature of the move):
Scenario 1: Pullback for Bearish INT Structure and with the recent Bearish CHoCK and Minor Demand zones are failing, I expect Bearish continuation to target the Weak INT Low which aligns with the Daily/Weekly Bearish Structure/Move. (Counter Swing – Pro Internal)
Scenario 2: Bullish Swing continuation to target the Weak Swing High. Which requires to have Demand holding and Supply failing. The first sign required to confirm this scenario will be the current Demand which price is currently at to hold and we form a Bullish CHoCH. (Pro Swing – Counter Internal)
🔹With the recent moves, Supply is failing and Demand is holding solidifying the scenario that the Bullish 4H Swing continuation in play.
🔹Currently price is sweeping Liq. above 30 Jan on 4H and Daily where I’d noted in the previous days analysis which can provide a decent pullback. (Bearish CHoCH is required to confirm the Sweep of Liquidity. Otherwise, it’s not enough and price will continue from the recent 4H Demand formed).
3️⃣
🔹Expectations is set to continue Bullish to target the Weak 4H Swing High. A decent pullback is also expected if the Liq. is enough and market sentiment is aligning with the pullback (Requires market Fear/ Risk-Off).
15m Chart Analysis
1️⃣
🔹Swing Bullish
🔹INT Bullish
🔹Swing Pullback
2️⃣
🔹Swing structures continued Bullish with 2 Bullish BOS yesterday (High Volatility).
🔹The current 15m Bullish structures confirms for me the 4H Bullish Swing continuation and we are targeting high.
🔹After the recent 15m Swing BOS, we expect a pullback.
Current structure doesn’t have much clear demand zone (the 70% of the structure is a 4H Demand zone).
🔹Price expected to have a pullback to the recent demand identified (Not well positioned as it’s in premium) or to structure EQ (50%)/Discount to continue Bullish and target the Weak Swing High.
🔹I want to note that the 4H had swept Liq. above 30 Jan High which could initiate a decent pullback on price after that aggressive move up.
3️⃣
🔹Expectation of price to continue Bullish as long the Swing Low hold and pullbacks are contained within the structure.
AUD/USD - TP Smashed Clean. Called it, executed it, and now we’re here. Price respected my SMC setup perfectly—4H structure gave me the bias, 30M refined my entry, and price followed through like clockwork.
Saw the inducement, waited for the CHoCH confirmation, and the order block tap was all I needed. Entry was smooth, exit was precise. This is what happens when you trust the process and put in the work daily.
Another win locked in. Who’s keeping up? Let’s see if the market’s ready for my next move.

GBP/JPY setting up for a swing-trade short?My core bias this year is for the Japanese yen to outperform, and for yen pairs such as GBP/JPY, EUR/JPY and AUD/JPY etc to suffer.
We are currently within a countertrend bounce against a much larger bearish move on GBP/JPY, but a doji formed just beneath a resistance cluster on Thursday to suggest the bounce is pausing, if not correcting itself.
The 1-hour chart shows that volumes were rising while prices fell from Thursday's high, and volumes were lower as they recouped some of those losses. Yet with GBP/JPY now trying to form a bearish outside candle on the 1-hour chart, perhaps a swing high has already formed.
The near-term bias is bearish while prices remain beneath 192.50, and for prices to fall to at least the 38.2% Fibonacci ratio ~190.75.

USDD/JPY bulls eye 156A hot set of inflation figures from the US alongside risk-on outflows from then yen helped USD/JPY post its best daily gain of the year. While the daily chart shows Wednesday's high stalled at trend resistance, but the strong bullish trend on the 1-hour chart suggests its more likely we'll see an upside break of it than not.
The 50-day SMA at 155.22 makes a potential interim target for bulls, a break above which brings the monthly pivot point near the 156 handle into focus.

ASX 200: Why I don't trust today's 'record high'The ASX 200 reached a record high in today's session, but it's not a convincing record high in my books. If anything, it could signal yet another false break. Using the ASX cash and futures market alongside Wall Street indices, I delve into why we need to be on guard for another bull trap before the real move potentially begins.

Incoming 50% collapse to $70 for AirBnb“Airbnb a tech company and its founder and CEO Brian Chesky isn't shy about that.”
source: hotelsmag.com
It’s an online letting agent!
A $86 billion one at that. Feels like WeWork Déjà vu all all over again. A landlord with a cool name and a website now becomes a tech company.
AirBnb was always on my list for accommodation searches when travelling. Today a hotel is almost always my first choice, even if that is for a stay of up to 10 days.
What changed?
1) Affordability. I draw the line when the cost of a mediocre “key-code” to enter AirBnb accommodation matches that of a 4 or 5 star hotel. I don’t know what hosts are thinking. One possibility is servicing overstretched mortgage costs.
2) Gentrification. Affordable housing has been swallowed up by landlords as they exchange from longterm to short term holiday lets in the pursuit of more money. The landlords can’t be blamed when interest rates have been so low, but the effect on city centres is evident. One city centre I visited a few months ago, the whole townhouse was AirBnb’d divided into several units. Depressing.
I think we’re now on the verge of a swell of those Landlords selling up as it becomes clearer with each month there are easier ways to make money whilst not holding onto an overpriced asset.
If I’m correct, the selling pressure will ultimately impact the business model, charging overpricd fees. Speaking of fees..
3) Cleaning fees. Don’t get me started.
Imagine checking out of a hotel “And your cleaning fee...”
The technical analysis
On the above weekly chart:
1) Price action and RSI support breakouts have printed.
2) Broken market structure. This is a perfect technical example of broken market structure confirming resistance from the last higher low. A trend reversal is now confirmed.
3) The Bear flag has confirmed. Past support confirms as strong rejection. Price action is forecast to strike $70
Is it possible price action continues to print upwards and onwards? Sure.
Is it probable? No.

CADCHF short tradethe price is at major high on daily TF and we can see also the it violated a structure zone on 4H tf this a good signe of the price going bearish, after he brok the HL on 2H tf I prepared for short entry at the retest after I get the retest touch point I switched to lower frame to identify the pullback structure and take my entry
