USDJPY – Fed Meeting Ahead With Range Highs In FocusYesterday’s Bank of Japan meeting saw the central bank act as expected. They kept interest rates unchanged and slowed the pace at which they will decrease monthly JGB purchases by half to help ensure market stability. This eventually assisted USDJPY to push higher and touch a peak early this morning at 145.44, matching a monthly high set on June 11th (145.46).
So far, this move to June range highs has been met with fresh selling, but there is still a lot for FX traders to consider moving into the Friday close, including an escalating conflict in the Middle East that has seen Israel and Iran exchange fire for six days in a row, and more importantly for wider financial markets, has drawn the full attention of President Trump and his national security team. How this situation evolves across the remainder of this week could influence the direction of USDJPY.
Also important could be the outcome later this evening of the Federal Reserve (Fed) Interest Rate Decision (1900 BST) and Press Conference (1930 BST). No change to interest rates is expected as policymakers, including Chairman Powell have been clear that they are currently in wait and see mode before making their next move, however their updated projections for US inflation, growth, and rate cuts may provide some extra volatility for USDJPY prices if these deviate from market expectations.
We shouldn’t forget it is also a holiday in the US tomorrow so liquidity could be reduced, so assessing the technical outlook, including relevant support and resistance levels may be useful.
Technical Update: Balanced Range Extends into Fed Meeting
Little has changed in USDJPY price activity from a technical perspective following Tuesday’s Bank of Japan meeting, and the focus now shifts to Wednesday’s Fed meeting in the US as the next potential sentiment driver for price.
As the chart above shows, the latest USDJPY activity has been held within a sideways range marked by potential support at 142.11, the May 27th session low, and potential resistance at 146.29, the May 29th session high.
This latest price activity may be an indication of trader uncertainty as to the direction of the next move and possibly the need for prices to ‘breakout’ and establish where the next directional risks might lay.
Of course, nothing is guaranteed and a closing break above resistance or below support might not see a more sustained phase of price movement, however being prepared is important.
Let’s consider the potential levels traders might find useful to watch if a breakout from the current sideways range is seen.
Potential Resistance Levels:
Successful closing breaks above 146.29 might be viewed by some as opening scope to higher levels and may possibly lead to a more sustained phase of price strength.
It’s at this time that the focus for traders may shift to the next potential resistance which could be at 148.65, the May 12th session high, even 151.21, the March 28th peak.
Potential Support Levels:
Equally possible within the current more balanced sideways price activity, is that a closing break under support provided by the May 27th low at 142.11 might well develop and be viewed as a potential negative breakout from the current sideways price range.
If closes below support at 142.11 are seen over the coming sessions, it might reflect for moves to even lower levels in price, with traders potentially shifting their focus to the April 22nd low trade at 139.89 as the possible next support.

Ethereum Wave Analysis – 16 June 2025
- Ethereum moving inside sideways price range
- Likely to rise to the resistance level 2754.00
Ethereum cryptocurrency recently reversed up from the support zone between the support level 2435,00 (lower border of the active narrow sideways price range from May), lower daily Bollinger Band and the 38.2% Fibonacci correction of the upward impulse from May.
The upward reversal from this support zone continues the active minor impulse wave 3 of the intermediate impulse wave (3) from last month.
Ethereum can be expected to rise to the next resistance level 2754.00 (upper border of the active sideways price range).
Ethereum set for breakout? Watch this 27-day patternEthereum is forming a 27-day pattern that could trigger a major breakout. After last week's failed move in Bitcoin, Ethereum now sits at a critical level. A breakout above 2741 could signal the start of a big rally, especially if US deregulation news lands. Could this be the beginning of a big move? Watch the full analysis and share your thoughts in the comments.

XPTUSD 1W:While Everyone Watches Gold, Platinum Quietly Wakes UpGold gets the headlines — but platinum just broke two years of silence with a clean, high-volume breakout from a symmetrical triangle on the weekly chart. And this isn’t noise — this is the structural shift traders wait for.
Price has been coiled inside a compressing wedge since early 2022. Equal highs. Equal lows. Stop hunts both ways. The classic “shake out before take off.” Now? The breakout is in. And the weekly candle closed above resistance with volume confirmation. Oh, and while we're at it — the 50MA just crossed above the 200MA, signaling a long-term trend reversal.
Target? Measure the triangle height: ~398 points. That projects a breakout target of 1440 USD, which aligns perfectly with previous institutional rejection zones.
But this isn’t just about the chart.
🔹 South Africa, the top global supplier, is struggling with energy and production cuts;
🔹 The Fed is pausing rate hikes — the dollar weakens, metals rally;
🔹 Demand from hydrogen tech, clean energy, and industrial catalysts is on the rise.
Translation? Smart money has been accumulating. The move from 965–1070 was just the ignition. The drive hasn’t started yet.
So while everyone fights over gold highs, platinum sits at the base of a move no one's prepared for — except those who know how accumulation ends.
🧭 Key support: 965–985
📍 Resistance zone: 1150–1180
🎯 Measured target: 1440+

Hello Traders ✌
After a careful consideration I came to the conclusion that:
- it is crucial to be quick in alerting you with all the opportunities I spot and often I don't post a good pattern because I don't have the opportunity to write down a proper didactical comment;
- since my parameters to identify a Classical Pattern and its scenario are very well defined, many of my comments were and would be redundant;
- the information that I think is important is very simple and can easily be understood just by looking at charts;
For these reasons and hoping to give you a better help, I decided to write comments only when something very specific or interesting shows up, otherwise all the information is shown on the chart.
Thank you all for your support

NAS100 [Consolidating ] – Will It Break Higher or Pull Back?The NAS100 has maintained a bullish structure and is currently pressing against the resistance zone around 21,777.3. This area has acted as a ceiling several times in recent sessions. Price is showing consolidation just below resistance, suggesting either an imminent breakout or another rejection.
Currently trading at 21,777.3, with
Support at: 21,450.0 🔽
Resistance at: 22,230.7 🔼
🔎 Bias:
🔼 Bullish: A strong break and hold above 21,777.3 may drive price toward the next resistance at 22,230.7.
🔽 Bearish: Rejection from 21,777.3 could lead to a retracement toward 21,450.0, with deeper downside potential if that level fails.

PolkaDot (DOT) Structure Analysis (1D)BITGET:DOTUSDT is showing signs of strength after a deviation below the long-standing $3.70–$4.10 demand zone.
Key Levels
• 🟢 Demand Zone: $3.70–$4.10, respected since October 2023
• 🟡 Broken downtrend resistance, retested as support
• ⚪ Current falling channel (compression) following range high retest
• 🟥 Sell Order Block: $5.10–$5.40
• 🟧 Range Resistance: $5.40
• 🎯 Target on breakout: ~$7.00, potential extension to ~$7.50
Thesis
• The recent breakdown was quickly reclaimed, hinting at a possible spring/fakeout. After retesting the range high, price is now compressing within a descending channel, building energy just above demand.
• A breakout from the channel followed by an S/R flip of the $4.40–$4.60 region could trigger a rally toward the upper range.
Watching for
• Channel breakout with volume
• Clean break above $5.40 to confirm range expansion
Invalidation
• Sustained break below the $3.70–$4.10 demand zone
RITESRITES showing good strength in recent session. And currently trading near strong hurdle. It has a strong resistance near 310-15 levels and rejected many times earlier. So if now closing above 315 may start new momentum rally in the counter which may continue for next 20-22% upwards. On lower side 270 seems very good support But closing above 315 is very crucial. I would avoid before that but surely keep a closer watch on it.
Types of Engulfing Candles!In trading, an Engulfing candle (or Engulfing pattern) is a two-candle reversal pattern that can indicate a potential change in market direction. It is commonly used in technical analysis in both bullish and bearish contexts.
Types of Engulfing Candles
1. Bullish Engulfing Pattern:
Occurs during a downtrend.
The first candle is bearish (red or black), showing continued selling pressure.
The second candle is bullish (green or white) and completely engulfs the body of the first candle (its open is lower and close is higher).
This pattern signals a potential reversal to the upside.
2. Bearish Engulfing Pattern:
Occurs during an uptrend.
The first candle is bullish.
The second candle is bearish and completely engulfs the first candle's body (its open is higher and close is lower).
This pattern signals a potential reversal to the downside.
Key Characteristics
The second candle’s body must fully engulf the first candle’s body (wicks/tails are not necessary to engulf).
The stronger the engulfing candle (in terms of size and volume), the more significant the signal may be.
Often more reliable when confirmed with volume or used in conjunction with other technical indicators (e.g., RSI, support/resistance levels).
Example:
Bullish Engulfing Example:
Day 1: Bearish candle opens at $100 and closes at $95.
Day 2: Bullish candle opens at $94 and closes at $101 — it completely engulfs Day 1's body.
This would suggest a potential shift from sellers to buyers.

PLTR 1D — When the tea is brewed and the handle’s in placePalantir’s daily chart is shaping up a textbook cup with handle pattern — one of the most reliable continuation setups in technical analysis. The cup base was formed over several months and transitioned into a consolidation phase, building a rectangle structure where smart money likely accumulated positions before a breakout.
Now here’s the key: price has not only broken out — it’s settled above all major moving averages, including EMA 20/50/100/200 and MA 50/200. The breakout candle was supported by surging volume, signaling strong participation from institutional buyers. When all the averages start bending upwards, it's usually not by accident.
The breakout above the $121 resistance zone unlocked a pathway toward a target at $187 , derived by projecting the height of the cup upward from the breakout level. This kind of structure, once confirmed, often fuels aggressive continuation — and this one’s got the setup locked in.
From a fundamental perspective, Palantir is holding solid ground: strong earnings reports, expanding government and commercial contracts, and aggressive development in AI services. Institutional interest is rising steadily, and that momentum is visibly reflected in price action.
To sum it up: price has launched cleanly out of the consolidation zone, pierced all critical MAs and EMAs, and continues to gain momentum. While the market sips its tea, this cup is boiling hot. Just don’t forget your stop loss — this is a trading desk, not a tea party.

EGX30 Increases by 0.62%EGX30 stock has jumped to an upper region, and it's apparent that this has been a gradual upward trend due to a mutual connection between positive fundamental news and the technical candlestick analysis. It has already breached the resistance line of 32,621.248 and reached the maximum at 32,695.736 points. On a personal level, I expect it to rebound not because of any negative news but because of taking into consideration the short-term history patterns. In case of rebounding, it may reach the support line 32,536.119, the support line 32,408.426, then the support line 32,376.503. In conclusion, EGX30 is increasing in the pink region by 0.62%.
