01062023 - #USDJPYUSDJPY gave a good short, with the levels working almost perfectly; price made the initial dip to support, and then rallied to the PHOD on news at 10am EST before it came down to close near the lows with DXY faltering.
For today, 138.91 is possible intermediate support, looking for a bounce here to possibly 139.62 before a next leg down.
Tradinganalysis
31052023 - #GBPUSDGBPUSD gave an initial sell to take out Monday's low before rallying higher. DXY hit a resistance above on the initial sell but came down to 104 (and lower) - the level I mentioned before basing. In a way, I was too aggressive on my 1.2395 level; (though DXY was at 104). Market went past it, to above resistance before coming down and bounced off at this 1.2395 level ( where the daily and weekly BZ meets). Could see some further upside, but would like to see price pullback to 1.2383 or so, fake breakdown before price stabilize and look for up.
In a way, I was too aggressive because the green candles of the previous days does point to bigger upside before any sell could come. For today, I would say that we can see that price is within the zones, held by weekly BZ now, while PZ and daily BZ are below as support.
31052023 - #USDJPYMarket came down nicely from PZ to BZ as per my trade plan given yesterday, rallied to PHOD and made another flush down, forming a bearish candle, but noticably, market is still supported by the BZ. The 139.6 level given yesterday is acting as good support. Overall the daily candle looks bearish but from the looks, my view is market could give another move up for USDJPY to 140.21/140.43 where it is a good level to look for shorts.
30052023 - #USDJPYWas looking for a pullback yesterday for a long but did not reach the long level. USDJPY printed a somewhat bearish candle and today it nicely opened below PZ and is coming down to BZ. 139.69 is the level to watch; could see this level today and look for opportunities (with bullish divergence) for a long back to PZ 140.5, but a break could bring us to 139.25
30052023 - #GBPUSDInside bar yesterday; I said that DXY could cool off and indeed GBPUSD went up to my said resistance before GBPUSD came down but overall, it was a small range day because most markets are not open. GBPUSD looking to push up further; thus could see further upside. IMO, 1.2391 could trade today and it is a level to go short from for a move back to PZ (watch DXY 104 for that move up).
29052023 - #GBPUSDGBPUSD was supported by monthly BZ, then went higher on Friday to my PHOD before coming down and closed near the mid. DXY strengthened while indices rallied though it cooled off towards the end. I am still longer term bullish dollar but today might see a pullback near term. Can be cautiously bullish above BZ 1.2353 for a move to 1.2373 and max 1.2391. If price trades below PZ, look for a re-test of 1.2300 but that should hold. Fading the two extremes should work for today.
25052023 - $NDXNDX made a huge recovery after the initial sell off, hitting the weekly BZ and rebounded; I would say the initial up was technical, price is oversold at BB extremes but the subsequent rally was due to NDVA. Price is now supported by the BZ and PZ at the same prices thus a double support.
TBH, I thought the rally was rubbish but price action is looking bullish now. I did say that I am not convinced of the rally; thus it would either be a case of NDX strength supporting the other indices, or NDX to falter and bringing SPX down with it.
The location of such a bullish candle is uncommon to say the least, but I would say that to SPX/DJIA would be better candidates to go short from, while using NDX as reference.
25052023 - #USDJPYOn Tuesday, market formed a doji and I said yesterday that expect a move down to re-test the lows (20 pips) and I was bullish DXY but indicate we might see risk off. Market hit the lows, did a fake out, then rallied higher. The BZ gave the lows and DXY did go higher and indices was risk off but still USDJPY went up.
Today, we are approaching 139.89. It is a strong resistance. Am looking for some pullback/reversal from there. Overall, am still bullish dollar, though yes it had made a huge up move the past few days and could consolidate first. And I am still risk off (despite NDX rally, it looks fake to me).
Taking into account the 2 points, IMO 139.89-140.31 is still levels to not hold longs but look for shorts. Just a point, note how nicely price made a fake dip down earlier on to the BZ before the move higher.
24052023 - #USDJPYYesterday was much a risk off day with indices coming down but USDJPY ended flat as USD continue to shine (I am bullish on DXY and still is).
Other currencies showed bearish price action against yen. But if you look at the daily candles, not much clue on the next direction; price look like it is just consolidating. Yesterday's candle is a doji; will it be a reversal candle? If DXY is to strengthen further as I mentioned, a reversal here will indicate risk off and probably further downside in indices.
For now, price is capped by PZ; thus expect 138.25 to trade minimally (20 pips downside is nothing, yes). And based on the above thesis (of risk off), will like to see 137.67 trade today (stay bearish below 138.23 and trail stops to possibly 136.91.
23052023 - #GBPUSDGBPUSD worked as per levels, hitting the top and bottom perfectly. Market closed with an inside bar; breakout soon?
Overall, I am still bullish DXY, looking for a move to 105 near term and price action does point to higher DXY. Nonetheless GBPUSD is somewhat oversold thus would not discount a possible up move first.
Stay bearish below PZ 1.2439-1.2443 while also watch for rejection off BZ 1.2457-1.2471 if market trade higher first.
23052023 - #USDJPYI said we could see another down move (based on equities Friday down) on break of daily BZ. Instead, the daily BZ is the lows; thus it is either no trade or go long. Market went up to near the highs.
PZ and BZ below are still acting as support; thus be long bias, and scalp longs with 139.25 as target for the day.
Also, look for longs with 138.09 and 137.45 as levels to go long if market give a pullback.
GBPUSD ____ INCOMING BEARISH MOVEHello guys,
If you follow me already, you will know that I get my directional bias from the dollar index. In my previous post on the dollar (inserted below) I stated that I am bullish on the dollar which would mean I am bearish on GBPUSD.
As you may see on my chart, I expect the price to run into my POI after inducing early short selling as marked on the chart before the continuation of the bearish move from last week.
You will also notice that we have multiple sell-side liquidity just above my profit target zone which price loves to sweep.

Maximise your trading success with market analysisWhen it comes to trading, one of the most important skills to develop is market analysis.
When you know how to read the market and make informed decisions, it can be the difference between spotting high, medium and low probability trades.
Here are some ideas to analyse the market and maximise your chance of success.
Start with the Main Indices
The first step in market analysis is to take a look at the main indices.
These indices, such as the JSE ALSI, SP500, Nasdaq, FTSE100, and others, are a good indication of the overall market direction.
Once you have seen the indices, you’ll get a sense of how the market is moving as a whole, and what kinds of opportunities might be available.
Identify the major Trends
Once you’ve looked at the main indices, it’s time to:
Identify any market trends (Market environment)
If the market is showing a strong uptrend (trend, momentum, moving averages analysis)
Then it’s best to ONLY look for longs or buys.
On the other hand, if your indicators suggest that the market has confirmed a downtrend, it’s best to look for sells or shorts.
Look for Breakouts
Sometimes the market doesn’t confirm an up or down trend.
If you see the market is moving in a sideways manner, there’s still an opportunity to profit.
In this case, it’s a good idea to write down the levels of breakouts you’d expect.
If the market breaks up, you’ll expect longs, and if it breaks down, you’ll look for shorts.
This way you’ll prepare for both outcomes And you’ll be able to capitalize on whichever direction the market takes.
Final Thoughts
Market analysis is a critical skill for any trader to master.
When you start with the main indices, to identify trends, and looking for breakouts, you’ll be able to make informed decisions about your trades and get a good idea of where they’re more likely to head.
10052023 - #USDJPYDXY was strong yesterday but came down after hitting R at 101.75 or so. USDJPY as mentioned, 135.35 was strong R, which held the high, though it was much a sideways days for USDJPY.
The same 135.35 level continue to act as R, though TBH tonight is CPI thus anything can happen. But for now, price action still look toppish here.
IMO would likely revisit yesterday's low then it will be up to FOMC to trigger the next move.
Below 135.11, expect a move to 134.65. If accepted then back up to 135.7. Rejection off which down to 133.77.
However, if market can keep above 135.25, especially before FOMC, could trigger a strong up to 136.15 and 136.7 magnet.
09052023 -$NDXSimilar to SPX, price is in consolidation. Yesterday price did a minor pullback but closed higher. Bias still to the upside with BZ supporting it.
Above 13275 cautiously long to 13331, 13383.
Short 13383 if traded today.
Below 13251 look for move to 13213 which would be the pivot level for bounce or further downside.
09052023 - $FDAXEerie small range consolidation day yesterday, inside bar. Possible break in either directions.
Above 16017 - long to 16049. Possible rejection from 16049 to 15981.
15983-16017 Neutral
Below 15981 - shorts to 15941, 15915.
15915 - look for bounce on divergence target 15979. Break of 15915 bring us to 15843.
GoldViewFX - MARKET UPDATEHey Everyone,
Perfect start to our week with our Bullish Targets 2017 and 2028 now HIT, highlighted on the chart by our arrow. 2028 is a weighted resistance structure and as highlighted on the chart needed a EMA5 cross and lock to open upper range or a rejection at this level. EMA5 did not cross and so provided the perfect exit for now. As stated already structure breaks will give openings to bigger ranges in one go so that's something we will keep an eye on and highlighted on the chart.
We will continue with our plans to buy from dips and not chase from the top, as we play close to the ATH. Our long term projection still remains Bullish with plans for another ATH challenge and break with play into a new range for Gold this year. Patience is key as swings are expected.
BULLISH TARGETS
2017 - DONE
2028 - DONE
EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK ABOVE 2028 WILL OPEN UPPER LEVELS 2037 AND 2O49
BEARISH TARGETS
2005 -
1999 -
EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK BELOW 1999 WILL OPEN THE SWING RANGE
SWING RANGE
1979 - 1967

GoldViewFX - MONTHLY CHART LONG TERM GOLD OUTLOOKHey Everyone,
Okay for those of you who have only started following this monthly chart that we have been tracking, please review all the previous updates below as we continue to track this level to level to get upto date.
This has been playing out perfectly and now we finally have a candle body close above 1976 on this monthly chart, as the month closes. This is the first candle body close above this level and we will also have a new Goldturn high on this monthly chart, as the new month starts. These are all strong ingredients for us to see a ATH challenge and potentially a break to create a new ATH.
The only thing we need to keep in mind is the potential EMA5 detachment that will be formed, as the new month candles starts. We need to keep this in mind for potential swings down and use our smaller timeframes to buy dips accordingly.
LAST UPDATE
Please review our last update last week below. We can clearly see the detachment gap, which needs to be considered when managing risk for any longs. EMA5 has reached new high and this months candle close will be significant to confirm breakout. If we see a candle body close above the test zone it will lock EMA5 above the ATH Goldturn, opening the potential for a new ATH breakout or at the very least a test to the ATH.
We will play it extra safe this week keeping exposure low.
PREVIOUS UPDATE
Please see our Monthly chart idea which we have been tracking over the last few months. We completed all our bull targets with our final target hit 2 weeks ago highlighted by the circle zone we heighted on the chart. This played out to perfection!!!
Price fell just short of the ATH target test. This is a longer range/term projection so expect swings in between.
We stated on last months candle close the potential of a detachment ,which will require some retracement. We need to keep this in mind for potential drops to complete the detachment.
Price is now at a critical zone and we must tread carefully now. A test to ATH is likely and either a new ATH will be created or a big tank down. We will use our smaller timeframes to track the movement level to level.
We were able to track and trade this entire movement using our smaller timeframes for entries and exits. We identified the swing from the support all the way up to our test zone target that we have been reminding you all every time we updated this chart. This open target gave us the confidence over the last few months to buy dips. The swings we had below we also highlighted, as detachments that were completed and provided the dynamic support for a push up each time.
As always, we will keep you all updated with regular updates throughout the week and how we manage the active ideas and setups. Please don't forget to like, comment and follow to support us, we really appreciate it!
