DXY In An Intraday Corrective RecoveryUSD Index turned down in October 2022 where we think that the dollar might have seen an important, multi-year top. Notice that the decline is strong and impulsive, meaning that there can be more weakness coming this year. However, because of the lower swing high, around 104, there is also a chance that this is a big triangle on a daily chart, but also bearish structure. So in either case, we think that DXY can be headed to 100 this year, which can come in play after A-B-C rally is done.
US Dollar - DXY is in new intraday recovery mode, which looks to be corrective as an A-B-C zig-zag pattern. Ideal resistance comes around 103.50 area, from where we should be aware of a bearish continuation.
Resistancelevel
AUDUSD Bullish indecisionAUDUSD has been uptrending for a few days towards a very strong resistance. Price has been rejected many times in this area. Candlestick analysis suggests that price is slowing down. The candles have a lot of wicks and small bodies. However ADX suggests price is still very bullish. I will be awaiting a daily signal for a short. Anytime price is approaching a very strong buy exhaustion area, I become alert for reversal signals. Price usually decides to retrace from strong areas of interest.
Going To Test Resistance Google is on track to test resistance at 126.00 a share based on candle stick analysis and triple confirm indicator. Triple confirm is not reliable on its own but works great in conjunction with other indicators. MACD is barely just starting to show a slow down in decline and tomorrow could be a start of a reversal.
Unveiling the GemsSideway patterns, often labeled as losers or deemed non-tradable periods by some, invite differing opinions and perceptions. It ultimately rests upon the individual trader to discern their potential. As for me, I perceive them as a treasure trove of trading opportunities waiting to be explored. Why, you may ask? It's quite simple - all I need to do is sell at the high, known as resistance, or buy at the low, known as support.
However, before plunging into these trades, I exercise caution and adhere to a meticulous approach. My aim is to ensure that my final target yields a profit factor of at least 2, and that a minimum profit potential of 50 pips awaits me before I engage in any trade.
On the right, a fascinating Bearish Bat Pattern is currently unfolding, tantalizingly close to completion at 0.6361. Meanwhile, on the left, the support and resistance trade strategy beckons with its own allure.
Now, the question arises: Which of these enticing trading setups resonates with you? Join me as we explore the path less traveled and unlock the potential hidden within these captivating patterns.
The Oldest Pair I've TradedDo you still remember those unforgettable moments when I first embarked on my trading journey with GBPJPY? It holds a special place in my heart as the very first pair I traded, and I stuck with it through the ups and downs until the spread for GBPJPY skyrocketed to 14 pips for an extended period. Oh, the memories!
Presently, GBPJPY finds itself in a captivating sideways movement, offering ample opportunities for those employing the support and resistance trading strategy. It's a perfect scenario for executing the age-old principle of buying low and selling high, or even exploring the realm of harmonic patterns.
Personally, I'm eagerly awaiting the completion of a bearish shark pattern at 173.23, signaling a potential shorting opportunity that aligns with my analysis.
Alternatively, you can choose to navigate the daily chart's defined zone, indicated by the red resistance line at 172.05 and the blue support line at 167.48. Within this trading range lies an enticing profit potential of 457 pips just waiting to be tapped into.
Join me as we delve into the timeless allure of GBPJPY and unleash the vast possibilities it holds for traders like us.
Did you missed this trade?
Last Week, I mentioned my plan to await a suitable shorting opportunity on the EURUSD, owing to the retest of resistance with RSI divergence. As anticipated, this move resulted in a total profit of 205 pips (equivalent to 2,050 USD/lot) based on the difference between the opening and closing prices.
My strategy for this week remains unchanged, and I am still on the lookout for a new shorting opportunity. At present, I am waiting to initiate a short position at 1.0901 on the 1-hourly chart (left), which represents a key resistance level. Join me as I continue to monitor the market and strive for profitable trades.
Closer look at the current S&P500 situationThis analysis shows what I am currently looking for in the market, regarding the S&P500 possible outcomes.
Since my last post the bulls made a good job and prices reached the previous tops level, at a very strong resistance near 4200.
But at such levels a small range is common and expected. I highlighted the zone between the orange lines, that was defined by the last top and the last bottom. I am carefully observing the movements around this small area, and I consider that the outcomes from it may lead to decisive movements. I am considering the breakout of the 4200 to be a long trade trigger, whilst the breakdown would be a short trade trigger. But while none of these cases happen I remain neutral until I can see some outcome out of this relevant resistance level.
The overcoming of the 4200 zone would be the final missing confirmation of a trend reversal (from bear to bull).
On the other hand, this resistance can do its job once again and hold the prices below it, keeping us in the congestion or in the bearish scenario for the next few months.
It is good to note that we're close to the "sell in May" seasonality.
This could be a Big OneAs an experienced trader, I've identified a significant trading opportunity that I'm eager to execute. My strategy involves a buy and hold approach, with a focus on minimizing risk and maximizing rewards. Rather than setting multiple targets, I prefer to extend my targets and remain flexible based on the market conditions and candlestick patterns that emerge.
This comprehensive trading plan enables me to minimize the time I spend monitoring the markets, allowing me to focus on other important aspects of my work. With a keen eye for detail and a commitment to achieving my goals, I'm excited to see what the future holds for this trade.
Double Your Chances: How to Profit from Both Buying and Selling Double Your Chances: How to Profit from Both Buying and Selling Opportunities on the AUDUSD
For traders seeking a buying opportunity on the AUDUSD, keep a close eye on the 0.6686 level for a potential entry point. While waiting for a retest after a market break and close above 0.6709 may provide added comfort, don't hesitate to take advantage of the opportunity at hand.
Alternatively, those looking to short the AUDUSD should keep an eye on the 0.6703 level for a potential entry. However, be warned that a market close above 0.6709 could signal a shift in the market and may not be the best opportunity for shorting.
By considering both potential outcomes, traders can position themselves for success and maximize their chances of profit on the AUDUSD.
Reap the Rewards for Massive GainsCounter-trend trading can be a lucrative strategy if executed correctly, making it a favorite amongst traders. When done right, it can provide the best profit factor, making it a viable option for those seeking to maximize returns.
As for the EURUSD, the weekly chart displays a retest on resistance with an RSI Divergence, signalling a potential shorting opportunity. However, it is important to note that this setup is not foolproof, and it is necessary to exercise caution. In fact, a candlestick confirmation is yet to be observed on the weekly chart.
For the daring traders out there, keep a close eye on the 1-hourly chart (on the left) for a 3-bar reversal, which may serve as a green light for a prime shorting opportunity. Take a calculated risk and pounce on this opportunity before it's too late!
Aggressive Trader could considerIf you are an Aggressive Trader, you may consider shorting the AUDCAD on the 1-hour chart at a market price of 0.9044.
Conservative trader might want to wait for a 3-bar reversal or a retest at 0.9055 on the 4-hourly chart based of the retest of previous resistance and of a sideway bounce trading setup.
459pips or 89pips of profit, which will you choose? If you have to choose only one trading setup, it is understable you would be choose the 459pips setup. But as a thinking trader, we have to be aware of what kind of trading setup provides such trading opportunity. The 459pips is from a counter-trend trading opportunity on the daily chart(right). I'm looking to short at 1.2395 and exit at 1.1937, for that to happen a restest at 1.2395 is required.
On the flip side, Trend Traders could wait for a buying opportunity off the Bullish Bat Pattern on the 1-hourly chart(left), the entry price is at 1.2308, candlestick Pattern confirmation is required.
Which side would you choose? The Bear 🐻 or The Bull 🐮?

Short Selling Opportunity Ahead: AUDCAD Analysis | 4h chartHello traders,
As you can see in my previous post the resistance level reached and profit target hit.
Now again short selling opportunity on the horizon. Wait for the OANDA:AUDCAD to close below stable support (0.91200-0.91500) and test resistance before opening short position.
Avoid long position due to downward trend and high supply.
Thanks & regards,

USDJPY - FREE MONEY!!This is the kind of trading setup that I used to shout! FREE MONEY!! It's a sideways bounce formation; as the name implies, I expect the market to bounce between the two zones, the red and blue zones. The profits are pretty good, given that it is a 15mins chart, it produces a potential of 56pips(approx 560usd/lot).
With that, risk management is essential. Don't jump into the trade without measuring your initial risk, and it is important to wait for the candlestick patterns confirmation so you can potentially avoid the one that is going to violate (BREAK) the trading setup.
GBPJPY - AB=CDAn AB=CD pattern setup could be used in this manner too. I'm waiting for a shorting opportunity at 167.03.
Aggressive traders could consider an instant shorting opportunity the moment when the market opens, whereas conservative traders could wait for a double top with rsi divergence to engage the trade.
