SPAIN35 in Strong Uptrend - Continuation Toward 12,819?OANDA:ESPIXEUR is trading within a strong uptrend, supported by a rising trendline that highlights bullish momentum. The price has consistently made higher highs and higher lows, reinforcing the trend continuation structure. I anticipate that if the index maintains its current upward momentum, it could move toward the 12,819 level. This setup aligns with the broader bullish trend, supported by the sustained price action above the trendline and recent breakout behavior. Traders should monitor for potential pullbacks toward the trendline for opportunities to join the trend, with confirmation signals such as bullish candlesticks or strong buying volume.

GBPNOK at Key Demand Zone: Rebound Toward 14.0198?FOREXCOM:GBPNOK reached a significant demand zone, marked by prior strong price reactions and buying pressure. This level has historically acted as a support zone, indicating the potential for a bullish reversal if buyers regain control. The current market structure suggests that if the price confirms a rejection from this demand zone, we could see a move upward toward the 14.0198 level, which aligns with a logical retracement. Traders should watch for bullish confirmation signals, such as bullish engulfing candles or higher lows, before entering long positions.

COPPER at Key Resistance: Will Sellers Push Toward 4.5230?PEPPERSTONE:COPPER has reached a significant resistance level, marked by prior price rejections and strong selling pressure. This area has historically acted as strong supply, suggesting the potential for a bearish reversal if sellers regain control. If the price confirms a rejection within this supply zone, I anticipate a move downward toward the 4.5230 level. This setup suggests the possibility of a retracement after the recent upward movement. Traders should look for bearish confirmation signals, such as bearish engulfing candles or strong rejection wicks, before entering short positions.

EURUSD 24-28 Feb 2025 W9 - Weekly Analysis - US GDP / PCE Week!This is my Weekly analysis on EURUSD for 24-28 Feb 2025 W9 based on Smart Money Concept (SMC) which includes the following: Market Sentiment Weekly Chart Analysis Daily Chart Analysis 4H Chart Analysis Economic Events for the Week Market Sentiment Inflation Data Dominates Hotter-than-expected U.S. CPI/PPI initially fueled inflation fears, but signs of moderation in underlying PPI components raised hopes for softer PCE data next week. Investors see a growing chance of Fed rate cuts in late 2025, limiting USD strength. Tariff Noise vs. Market Calm Trump’s tariff threats (e.g., reciprocal steel/aluminum duties) were largely dismissed as negotiation tactics, easing fears of an immediate trade war. Markets expect delays in implementation, reducing near-term volatility. Geopolitical Progress Supports Risk Sentiment Reports of progress in Ukraine-Russia peace talks (e.g., territory swaps) reduced safe-haven demand for the USD, indirectly boosting the Euro. Stabilizing energy prices and supply chains further supported the Eurozone outlook. Central Bank Divergence The Fed remains cautious, emphasizing data dependency, while the ECB signals potential rate cuts later in 2025. Short-term EUR resilience stems from reduced trade-war risks and improving Eurozone economic data. Focus on Upcoming Catalysts This week PCE inflation report (Fed’s preferred gauge) will test disinflation optimism. Weak U.S. retail sales/industrial production amplified concerns about slowing growth, weighing on the USD. Key Takeaways Bullish Drivers: Progress in geopolitical tensions. Softening inflation expectations ahead of PCE data. Tariffs seen as negotiation tools, not immediate threats. Bearish Risks: A hot PCE report reviving Fed hawkishness. Sudden tariff escalations or breakdowns in peace talks. Overall Sentiment:  Cautiously bullish for EUR/USD this week, with upside hinging on sustained risk appetite and confirmation of disinflation trends. Weekly Chart Analysis 1️⃣ 🔹Swing Bearish 🔹Internal Bearish (Pullback Phase) 🔹In Swing Discount 🔹Swing Continuation Phase (Pro Swing + Pro Internal) 2️⃣ 🔹INT structure continuing bearish with iBOS following the Bearish Swing. (End of 2023 till end of 2024 was a pullback phase after the first bearish iBOS) 3️⃣ 🔹After the bearish iBOS we expect a pullback, price tapped into Monthly Demand and the liquidity below Nov 2022 which is above the weekly demand formed with the initiation of the bearish iBOS pullback phase. 🔹Price made a bullish CHoCH which indicated that the liquidity was enough as per previous weeks analysis to initiate a pullback phase for the bearish iBOS. 🔹Price pulled back after the Bullish CHoCH to the Weekly Demand formed and showed reaction after volatile week. 🔹With the previous week solid Bullish close, the Demand did hold and there is a high probability that price could continue Bullish to facilitate the INT structure pullback phase. 🔹If price to continue Bullish, price will be targeting the liquidity above Dec 2024, INT Structure EQ (50%) at 1.06933 to target the Weekly Supply in premium before continuing down to target the Weak INT Low. 🔹Expectations is for price to continue Bullish if it managed to break 1.05333 27 Jan High to facilitate the INT structure pullback. Daily Chart Analysis 1️⃣ 🔹Swing Bearish 🔹INT Bearish 🔹Swing Continuation Phase (Pro Swing + Pro Internal) 2️⃣ 🔹Following the Bearish Swing BOS, INT Structure continuing bearish tapping the weekly demand zone. 3️⃣ 🔹After the failure to close below the Weak INT Low, price continued bullish sweeping the liquidity above Dec 30 and mitigating a Daily supply zone within the INT Structure Premium Zone. 🔹With the mitigation of the Daily supply, price created a Bearish CHoCH signaling the end of the Pullback Phase of the INT structure and the start of the Bearish move targeting the Weak INT Low. 🔹Price failed for the 2nd time to close below the Weak INT Low after mitigating the Daily Demand formed from the failure to close below the Weak INT Low which triggered aggressive Bullish reaction and mitigating the Daily Supply Zone formed from the recent Bearish CHoCH. 🔹After Supply mitigation, price continued Bearish following the Bearish INT Structure continuation phase. 🔹Previous week I mentioned “if the Daily formed a Bullish CHoCH (Currently above the recent mitigated Supply) this will shift my outlook to the Weekly Scenario of a deep pullback of the Weekly INT Structure to at least the Structure EQ (50%). MTF required to shift Bullish to confirm”. And with that happened I’d shifted to Bullish expectation and there is expectations of a deep pullback within the Daily Bearish INT structure. 🔹The expected targets for the current bullish move is 1st to sweep the liquidity above the equal highs (17 Dec & 27 Jan) 2nd Break of the Strong INT High to facilitate the Daily Bearish Swing pullback and the Weekly Bearish INT pullback. 🔹Currently Supply is failing and Demand is holding confirms the short-term Bullish scenario and setting my expectations for continuing Bullish. Price had pulled back to the recent Daily Demand and continued Bullish. 4H Chart Analysis 1️⃣ 🔹Swing Bullish (Reached Swing Extreme Demand) 🔹INT Bearish (Reached Extreme Supply) 🔹INT-INT Bullish (Reached EQ (50%) 🔹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) 🔹As expected yesterday, price managed to continue Bullish after reaching the INT-INT structure EQ (50%) in a solid impulsive move aligns with the Swing continuation move. 3️⃣ 🔹Still expectation is set to continue Bullish targeting the Weak Swing High as long LTFs holds Bullish structures. Also, In my mind I’m not neglecting the current Bearish 4H INT structure and we already reached that structure extreme where we are getting the current corrective Bearish OF.

CADCHF - Short Setup at Key ResistanceOANDA:CADCHF Is getting closer to a resistance zone that has times before lead to strong bearish momentum. A confirmation of selling pressure, such as a bearish engulfing pattern or multiple rejection wicks at the resistance level, would increase the likelihood of a downward move. If sellers take control at this zone, the pair could move downward, with a target around the 0.63200 level. NOT financial advice - just my view on support and resistance zones, Always confirm your setups and trade with solid risk management! Best of luck! Again!

This area has historically acted as a key support zone, indicating the potential for a pullback if buyers regain control. The current market structure suggests that if the price confirms a rejection from this demand zone, there is a high likelihood of an upward move. I anticipate that if rejection occurs, the market may head higher toward the 39,068 level, which represents a logical target within the current market structure.

NQ - Feb 20th FrameworkWednesday failed to expand through Tuesday range. Weekly range currently in a consolidation. Consolidation protocol active. I am neutral on price until a sweep on the external range. Once a sweep occurs, I will hunt the 15m cisd and target the opposing liquidity. This will confirm the weekly profile & the intraday profile. Need the alignment for a high probability trade. Anything internal is lower probability for my model. Price MUST take external liquidity. Consolidation Reversal weekly profile likely. Mon - Wed in a range, Thursday raids external range then reverses, Friday offers continuation to opposing liquidity.

CHINAH at Major Resistance – Is a Pullback Imminent?PEPPERSTONE:CHINAH is currently testing a significant resistance zone, where previous price action has shown strong selling interest. After a sharp rally, the market appears to be overextended, increasing the likelihood of a pullback if sellers step in at this level. If the price confirms rejection from this resistance zone, we could see a move downward toward the 8,286.00 level, aligning with a potential short-term correction. However, a breakout above this resistance could signal further bullish momentum. Keep an eye out for reversal patterns or bearish candlestick formations near this zone for potential short opportunities. Let me know your thoughts or if you see it differently!

EURNZD - Sell Opportunity After Support BreakOANDA:EURNZD has broken below a key support zone and is now retesting it, which may act as new resistance, aligning with a potential bearish continuation. If sellers confirm resistance at this level, the price is likely to move downward toward the 1.80600 level, which represents a logical target for this setup. Conversely, a failure to hold resistance could suggest a potential bullish shift. Traders should monitor for bearish confirmation signals, such as bearish engulfing candles or increased selling volume, before considering short positions.
