WIG - Resistance becomes supportGreetings to you all! I decided to mix journalism and technical analysis in this post. I will describe the last 20 years of price action in Warsaw Stock Exchange Index (WIG), laying out the market structure and how it was shaped by key geopolitical events. Keep reading till the end, because the key message is that decade-long resistance level might have become a support zone, and Polish stock prices could be well-positioned for future growth. Warsaw Stock Exchange Index (WIG) has declined during 2008 financial crisis, after reaching all time high of 67,772 PLN. This price level created a resistance that scared off any early advances and pushed away subsequent rallies. 2017 and 2021 brought 2 attempts that failed to break above the resistance. The first rally did not quite have the momentum required to push the price higher, and the buying power vanished over the next 2 years. 2020 brought crisis and a steep decline in price, which was followed by a quick recovery through 2021. Price managed to close above ATH during July - December period of 2021, but it was short lived. Rising interest rates in 2022 and high inflation growth over the last 12 months resumed the pessimistic tone markets have followed in the aftermath of the covid pandemic, resulting in price falling back below the resistance, which remained intact at 65K - 75K PLN level. It is important to mention that 2021 rally changed the character (CoC) of the established market structure post 2008 crisis, because price closed above ATH and set a higher high. Now, if I consider a local market structure of 2020 - 2024, I can clearly see a basic uptrend pattern of Higher High > Higher Low > Higher High, which is confirmed by both MACD and RSI indicators on monthly chart. Collectively, the 2020-2024 price impulse broke above the decade long resistance, which may now act as support, but, if you're a careful observer, you would notice that this happened as well in 2021. Why this time is different? Because consider the broader economic context, and you'll also notice that in 2024 inflation is seemingly under control (though above the target rates). Moreover, central banks kept the interest rates pretty much flat in 2022, and some even proceeded to cut them, lifting capital restraints affecting companies. Hence, overall picture for WIG looks quite optimistic. It gained 27% in the last 12 months, broke above strong resistance, and it did so by establishing an uptrend price impulse. Meanwhile, Polish currency appreciated by ~5% against dollar and rose to #6 economy in Europe as of 2023. It grew twice as fast as top 5 economies both in 2023 YoY and during 2020 - 2023 period. I guess I will add some WIG to my portfolio, it looks good to me. But you decide for yourself, I'm not a financial advisor and this is not a financial advice. Thanks for reading this post.

Trade Like A Sniper - Episode 46 - USDPLN - (17th June 2024)This video is part of a video series where I backtest a specific asset using the TradingView Replay function, and perform a top-down analysis using ICT's Concepts in order to frame ONE high-probability setup. I choose a random point of time to replay, and begin to work my way down the timeframes. Trading like a sniper is not about entries with no drawdown. It is about careful planning, discipline, and taking your shot at the right time in the best of conditions. A couple of things to note: - I cannot see news events. - I cannot change timeframes without affecting my bias due to higher-timeframe candles revealing its entire range. - I cannot go to a very low timeframe due to the limit in amount of replayed candlesticks In this session I will be analyzing USDPLN, starting from the 3-Month chart. If you want to learn more, check out my TradingView profile.

4.25$ SupportDollar once again hit 4.25$ level which was resistance from 2016 to february 2022 when price went above and this way created support which was tested in may/june 2022, january/february 2023 and right now. It seems solid so I would expect 5$ level retest in the near future and that way creating double bottom on current support. But if price will go below 4.25 and the volumen will be significant it can fall down. On 12th April US CPI level is going to be published and on 14th April PL CPI. Having up-to-date information, I do not plan to open a position earlier than next week.

Time to short the Polish ZlotyThe idea is very simple... Despite it having a significantly higher interest rate than the US, capital isn't flowing in the country. Poland is in a very tough place right now, as it has a relatively small economy and doesn't have a currency that is widely used. Europe overall is a big mess, and the PLN is affected by the EUR too. The ECB still has rates at -0.5% and Poland has rates at 6%, yet EURPLN is near its ATHs. In the charts below you can see how bad EURUSD looks, which I think will go below 1.03 to sweep the lows and then maybe bounce for a while, and how EURPLN might have formed a massive top. Therefore it might be a better idea to short EURUSD than going long USDPLN (short PLNUSD), as it will have a lower carry. Yet the structure of USDPLN is much cleaner, and a breakout could be massive. I definitely expect to see the USDPLN highs swept, then a pullback and then continuation higher. This consolidation looks very bullish, and a breakout would potentially lead to a major expansion over time. The main fundamentals behind this is that Poland can't sustain such high rates with such high energy prices as the economy will collapse, and at the same time it does look like Poland would be one of the next countries that Russia will attack. Unfortunately it feels like a matter of time until Russia fully conquers Ukraine, something that will hurt Poland very badly due to its ties with Ukraine, and then it feels like a matter of time until they begin their next war.

Alleged Russian strike on Poland stirs marketEUR/USD 🔼 GBP/USD 🔼 AUD/USD 🔼 USD/CAD 🔽 USD/JPY 🔽 XAU 🔼 WTI 🔼 Two people have been killed in a missile strike near the eastern Polish border. The possible Russian attack on a NATO member has raised speculation that the Russian invasion of Ukraine will escalate. As a safe haven asset, spot gold rose to $1,778.8 an ounce, while WTI oil futures moved up slightly to $87.01 a barrel. On the other hand, US PPI readings were lower than expected, sparking hopes that the Federal Reserve will slow down rate hikes upon reducing producer price growth. The dollar was weakened against its peers. EUR/USD increased to 1.0348, and AUD/USD added over 60 pips to 0.6756. GBP/USD climbed to a high of over two months at 1.1994 and closed at 1.1858, as Mitrade anticipated UK annual inflation data this afternoon would reach 10.7%. Once again, USD/JPY sank below the 140.0 level to 139.29, and USD/CAD declined to 1.3277. Major US stock indices also enjoyed minor upticks. A gain of 56 points (+0.17%) was made on the Dow Jones Industrial Average, 34 points (+0.87%) on the S&P 500, and 170 points (+1.45%) on the Nasdaq 100.

XAUUSDHello traders. Gold is continuing to create Higher Highs and preseserves Higher Lows. If you look on the left of past chart depiction, the area of 178x has been considered a former resistance like the 179x. Finally, the price last August touched 1803 level and fell vigorously. So, every possible entry at these levels could be profitable. But, the safest place to place the SL I strongly believe is above 1803 area. We all know what gold can do with spikes. Regarding of spikes, the price action is indicating the weakness to go higher for short - term. Traders Dynamic index has created a divergence with Price movement, but this doesn't mean that it will sell immidiately. It can go further for some time, this is the reason I consider both 179x and 180x nice areas for sell - close to the Daily supply zone, where many pending orders will be open. A break above 1812 I think it may push price higher to 1840 - 1860 levels. 1750 area can be considered a safe zone for first TP and maybe a good entry for buys but the main key area is 1730, for strong buy. Breaking news some moments ago informed humanity about a missile attack to some village of Poland. If this was not an accident and it was made by design, prepare to see gold rocketing above ATH!!! Good luck!

Mr Gryn - 'Wolf of Crypto Street' or 'Metaverse Elon Musk' ?Mr Gryn is back, after his one Token (Metahero) became two Tokens (Metahero and Everdome). Holding two watermelons can be risky sometimes. Will Mr Gryn, the Polish entrepreneur be able to handle? Nobody knows, it's to be seen. In the meantime we will hold our bags and wait for the 'Sup realistic version' of the Metaverse. In any case: Good to have you back Mr Gryn and we hope Metahero's money is well spent in Monaco because Formula 1 in the Emirates was a fiasco for you, the same way that Metahero went from Hero to almost zero during your 'break'. This projects is a One man Show, that is Mr Rob Gryn. From us, the pressure will be ON until you deliver. Somehow we still believe in you, just remember that at the end of the day you will be Hero or Zero... you decide One Love, the FXPROFESSOR PS. TECHNICALLY speaking we see 10 cents. Then it will be time to sell 1/3rd of our bag and wait.

Covid-19 Scan of North Europe and North AmericaQuick scan for Northern Europe shows that Sweden is spiking rathe parabolic. They went for herd immunity, and recently only backtracked to making mask wearing mandatory. Quite obvious what we are dealing with and there is no two ways about it. The neighbour, Finland, which has been out of the news is actually similarly spiking, albeit slightly moderated. Russia is similar with a spike that is appearing to be slowing slightly. To the south, Poland is better off with a plateau incoming. Clearly, Northern/Eastern Europe is is no better shape than Western Europe. Stay safe and healthy. Blessed Christmas to everyone there...
