ECB’s De Guindos Sees Balanced Inflation RisksEuropean Central Bank Vice President Luis de Guindos said Monday that the EUR/USD at 1.15 does not hinder the ECB’s inflation goal, noting the euro’s gradual rise and stable volatility.
He stated inflation risks are balanced, with little chance of falling short of the target, and that markets have clearly understood the ECB’s recent policy signals. De Guindos reaffirmed the ECB is close to its inflation objective
Looking ahead, he warned that tariffs could slow growth and inflation in the medium term but expressed confidence in the Fed maintaining swap line arrangements. He also confirmed there have been no discussions about repatriating gold reserves from New York.
At the time, EUR/USD was down 0.09%, trading near 1.1537.
Resistance is located at 1.1580, while support is seen at 1.1460.
Technical Analysis
Stronger Dollar Pressures Yen on Geopolitical RisksThe Japanese yen fell past 144.2 per dollar on Monday, marking a second day of losses, as the U.S. dollar strengthened on increased safe-haven demand. This followed renewed conflict between Israel and Iran, with both sides targeting energy facilities and pushing oil prices higher. The rise in energy costs may reduce the chances of a near-term Fed rate cut as inflation and trade risks persist. Meanwhile, focus turns to the Bank of Japan’s upcoming policy meeting, where it is expected to keep rates unchanged while assessing the inflation impact of rising oil prices amid global uncertainty.
Resistance is at 145.30, while support stands near 142.50.
AUDCAD: The Real Move Happens After the TrapNot every trade needs to be flashy.
This one was clean. Simple. Intentional.
And it came after most traders got taken out.
What I Saw :
Price swept PDL: textbook sell-side liquidity.
But instead of jumping in too early, I waited.
Why?
Because I’ve learned something:
👉 The first reaction is often just noise.
👉 The second one, the one that fills into structure. That’s where clarity lives.
My Entry Logic:
After the sweep, price broke minor structure. That was my Change of Character. I will just have to wait for price to pull into the FVG below 50% fibs retracement. Stop below the low. Target at the PDH.
Nothing fancy. Just discipline .
Psychology Check:
I’ve taken this setup before and watched it run without me. Why? Because I used to hesitate. I wanted more confirmation… or feared being wrong.
But here’s the truth:
Your edge is only real if you’re willing to take the shot when it appears .
This wasn’t a guess.
It was system + structure + emotional control.

The Uncertainty of Gold Gold exhibited considerable uncertainty, as sellers pushed the price back to nearly its starting point this week. Is it profit taking? What do institutions know that we don't, as they increased their long positions this week? 81% of institutions are long. So, where the whales are is where I want to be.

#NIFTY Intraday Support and Resistance Levels - 16/06/2025Today, a slightly gap-up opening is expected in Nifty near the 24,735 level. If Nifty sustains above the 24,750–24,800 zone after the opening, it may lead to a continuation of the upside move toward 24,850, 24,900, and potentially 24,950+ during the day. This zone can attract intraday buying interest, especially if supported by volume and momentum.
However, any rally approaching the 24,950 level should be watched cautiously, as it may act as a reversal zone, triggering profit booking or intraday resistance.
On the other hand, if Nifty fails to hold 24,700 levels and starts drifting lower, fresh selling pressure could emerge, pushing the index toward 24,650, 24,600, and even 24,550 during the session.
[INTRADAY] #BANKNIFTY PE & CE Levels(16/06/2025)Today, a slightly gap-up opening is expected in Bank Nifty near the 55,550–55,600 zone. If Bank Nifty sustains above this zone, it may attempt an upside move toward 55,750, 55,850, and potentially 55,950+ levels during the session.
If Bank Nifty starts trading above 56,050, a further bullish rally can be seen, taking it higher toward the 56,250, 56,350, and 56,450+ zones.
On the downside, if Bank Nifty slips below the 55,450–55,400 zone, it may face further selling pressure, leading to a possible move toward 55,250, 55,150, and 55,050 levels.

GBP/JPY Tests 196.4FenzoFx—GBP/JPY is testing the 196.4 monthly high, a fragile resistance after four previous attempts.
On Friday, bulls pushed higher with a long-wick candlestick, but the Stochastic Oscillator signals an overbought market.
The bullish trend remains intact if GBP/JPY holds above 193.8 support. A breakout above 196.4 may target 198.3, while closing below support could shift momentum downward.
XAUUSD H4 Outlook — 16 June 2025👋 Hello team, here’s where we stand before the upcoming key week:
🔎 The Narrative
Gold remains in bullish control after weeks of controlled expansion.
The clean breakout above previous major highs triggered liquidity resets that cleared significant weak-handed positions.
Last week’s sweep into 3447 activated premium liquidity, trapping late buyers at the edge of impulsive highs. But the game is far from over — smart money continues to rotate liquidity at these extreme levels, using premium expansion to build further trap pockets both above and below.
Behind this technical expansion, macro tensions continue to fuel underlying gold demand. Geopolitical uncertainties remain elevated with the Middle East escalation risk growing, while recent Fed positioning keeps rate path expectations flexible.
The upcoming FOMC decision later this week will likely act as the true liquidity catalyst — until then, gold remains positioned for further inducement cycles as both buyers and sellers continue to get baited into traps.
🔼 Premium Supply Zones
Price Zone Description
3447 – 3470 Weak high sweep — premium liquidity trap fully active
3500 – 3525 Main extension liquidity pocket — Fibonacci cluster (1.272 & 1.414 extensions)
3550 – 3570 Exhaustion inducement — full 1.618 premium extension stack
🔽 Demand Defense Zones
Price Zone Description
3415 – 3395 Minor imbalance recalibration — short-term liquidity refill zone
3365 – 3345 Core breakout OB + FVG overlap — main recalibration zone if pullbacks extend
3285 – 3265 HTF bullish structure base — BOS origin + deep recalibration defense level
🎯 Where We Stand Right Now
✅ Smart money holds full control inside premium expansion.
✅ Inducement layers remain open both above and below current price.
✅ We expect short-term liquidity sweeps before any major expansion unfolds.
✅ No change in bias — bullish structure remains valid while 3285 holds.
🔐 The Mindset
👉 This is not the place for aggressive chasing.
👉 Liquidity will continue to hunt both sides into key events ahead.
👉 Our job is not to predict, but to position with discipline once liquidity confirms displacement inside the calibrated zones.
🚀 If this breakdown helps you stay locked:
💬 Drop a 🚀, leave your thoughts & follow for full sniper-level updates as we approach a volatile week ahead.
Stay sharp — the trap is already in play.

GBPUSD: Your Trading Plan For Next Week 🇬🇧🇺🇸
GBPUSD formed an ascending triangle pattern on a daily time frame.
Your next signal to buy will be a bullish violation of its neckline.
To confirm a breakout, we will need a daily candle close above 1.362.
A bullish continuation will be expected to 1.37 level then.

Gold: silence on the charts—because the real money already movedThe gold market isn't reacting — it's confirming. The Israeli strikes on Iran? That’s the trigger. But the move started earlier. Price was already coiled, already positioned. All the market needed was a headline. And it got it.
Price broke out of the accumulation channel and cleared $3,400 — a key structural level that’s acted as a battleground in past rotations. The move from $3,314 was no fluke — it was a textbook build: sweep the lows, reclaim structure, flip the highs. Volume spiked exactly where it needed to — this wasn’t emotional buying. This was smart money pulling the pin.
Technicals are loaded:
— Holding above $3,396–3,398 (0.618 Fibo + demand re-entry zone)
— All major EMAs (including MA200) are now below price
— RSI strong, no sign of exhaustion
— Candles? Clean control bars — breakout, retest, drive
— Volume profile above price = air pocket — resistance is thin to nonexistent up to $3,450+
Targets:
— $3,447 — prior high
— $3,484 — 1.272 extension
— $3,530 — full 1.618 expansion — key upside target
Fundamentals:
Middle East is boiling. Iran is ready to retaliate. Israel is already escalating. In moments like these, gold isn't just a commodity — it's capital preservation. The dollar is rising — and gold still rallies. That means this isn’t about inflation, or rates. It’s about risk-off. Pure, institutional-level flight to safety.
Tactical view:
The breakout is done. Holding above $3,396 confirms the thesis. Pullbacks to that zone? Reloading points. While gold remains in the channel and momentum is clean, the only side that matters right now — is long.
When price moves before the news — that’s not reaction. That’s preparation. Stay sharp.
Bearish Bias Holds as Oil Rises & Rate Differentials NarrowUSDCAD – Bearish Bias Holds as Oil Rises & Rate Differentials Narrow
🌍 Macro & Fundamental Outlook
The Canadian Dollar (CAD) continues to gain ground this week, supported by two key drivers:
Crude oil prices surged due to Middle East tensions and renewed demand optimism — boosting CAD as a commodity-linked currency.
US-Canada yield spreads narrowed, following revised expectations that the Bank of Canada (BoC) may keep rates higher for longer, while the Fed is seen pausing.
Short-term event risks to watch:
🇨🇦 Canadian Manufacturing Sales data today at 13:30 GMT
🇨🇦 G7 Summit in Alberta from June 15–17, which may influence oil and energy policy sentiment
Our latest fair value estimate for USDCAD has shifted lower to 1.3613, reflecting tighter rate spreads and stronger oil. Technical structure remains tilted to the downside.
📉 Technical Outlook – M30 Chart
🔹 Structure:
Price remains in a short-term downtrend, with a well-defined descending trendline capping upside attempts.
The pair recently tested the EMA 89–200 zone and failed, suggesting continued bearish pressure.
🔹 Key Zones:
Dynamic Resistance: 1.3638 – 1.3660 (trendline + EMA cluster)
Support Area: 1.3592 → 1.3578
A break below 1.3578 could expose deeper downside toward 1.3420 (September lows)
🔹 Momentum Indicators:
RSI has bounced from oversold (30) but remains in bearish territory.
The current rebound looks corrective — potentially a dead cat bounce.
🧠 Market Sentiment
Flows favour commodity-backed currencies like CAD, especially with energy prices rising.
USD has weakened slightly as the Fed is expected to hold rates steady next week.
Sentiment is leaning toward "sell the rallies" on USDCAD for now.
🎯 Trade Setup Scenarios
🔻 SELL SCENARIO – If price retests and rejects 1.3638 – 1.3660
Entry: 1.3640 – 1.3655
Stop-Loss: 1.3685
Targets: 1.3592 → 1.3578 → 1.3510
🔺 BUY SCENARIO – If strong bullish reaction occurs at 1.3592 – 1.3578
Entry: 1.3580
Stop-Loss: 1.3545
Targets: 1.3620 → 1.3640
⚠️ Focus on trend continuation. Only consider buys if clear rejection or bullish confirmation appears at support.
✅ Conclusion
The current trend in USDCAD favours sellers, with fundamental momentum supporting CAD via higher oil and narrowing yield differentials. Key resistance at 1.3638–1.3660 remains the pivot zone to monitor. With Canadian data and the G7 Summit ahead, volatility could increase.
Dollar Momentum Fades | Can 143.07 Hold as Support?USDJPY – Dollar Momentum Fades | Can 143.07 Hold as Support?
🌍 Fundamental & Macro Outlook
USDJPY has faced strong downside pressure recently as risk-off sentiment boosts demand for the Japanese Yen, following escalating tensions between Israel and Iran.
The US Dollar Index (DXY) rallied on geopolitical concerns but is struggling to sustain momentum near the 98.30 resistance zone.
Despite the Bank of Japan's ultra-loose monetary policy, JPY is acting as a safe haven in current global risk conditions.
Traders are awaiting next week’s monetary policy decisions from both the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan. Both central banks are expected to keep rates unchanged, but forward guidance could spark major volatility.
According to UOB Group, the dollar's recovery potential is weakening, and further downside toward 142.20 is possible, unless price reclaims the 144.60–144.95 resistance zone.
📉 Technical Analysis – H1 Chart
🔸 Trend Structure
USDJPY remains in a mild downtrend, but price has bounced from the 143.074 key support zone.
A recovery towards 144.624 is in play, but that zone must be cleared for bullish continuation.
🔸 EMA Outlook
Price is currently testing the EMA 89 and 200 — a rejection from this area could trigger another move down.
EMA 13 & 34 are now acting as short-term dynamic support.
🔸 Key Price Zones
Resistance: 144.60 – 145.26
Support: 143.07 – 142.20
🧠 Market Sentiment
Risk aversion continues to dominate as geopolitical headlines drive sentiment.
The Yen is benefitting from capital protection flows despite Japan’s dovish stance.
Large funds may be starting to hedge by rotating into JPY from elevated USD levels.
🎯 Trading Scenarios for June 13
📌 Scenario 1 – Short Setup (Rejection at Resistance)
Entry: 144.60 – 144.90
Stop-Loss: 145.30
Take-Profit: 143.60 → 143.07 → 142.50
📌 Scenario 2 – Long Setup (Rebound from Support)
Entry: 143.10 – 143.20
Stop-Loss: 142.70
Take-Profit: 144.00 → 144.60
✅ Wait for confirmation at key levels — avoid trading in the middle of the range when volatility is headline-driven.
✅ Conclusion
USDJPY remains trapped between strong resistance at 145.26 and buying interest at 143.07. If risk sentiment persists, the Yen may continue to strengthen. However, central bank decisions next week (Fed & BoJ) will be the major catalysts for any medium-term breakout.
