USDJPY | Perspective for the new week | follow-up detailsThe USDJPY fell 0.54% to 137.955 on Friday after data showed that Japanese consumer inflation rose back to a 40-year peak in April, putting pressure on the Bank of Japan to adjust its ultra-loose monetary policy.

USOil | New perspective for the week | Follow-up detailOil prices reversed on Thursday and Friday to transition into a choppy situation to the disappointment of buyers as talks to raise the U.S. debt ceiling hit an impasse. Market participants were reluctant to have open buy positions into the weekend, on the off chance that an agreement to raise the U.S. government’s debt ceiling is struck over the weekend which could result in a huge gap at the beginning of the incoming week. In this video, we acknowledged the consolidation phase (between 70 and 74 zones) - a range that will be a determinant of price action in the coming week.

It's Merely a RetracementIn a world where media and forums express bearish sentiments towards USDJPY, my unwavering bullish stance may have caught your attention. While others see a bearish retracement, I invite you to see the bigger picture.
Take a glance at the weekly chart on the right, and you'll witness the bearish movement as nothing more than a mere retracement of the monumental US dollar skyrocketing trend I accurately predicted on 14th October 2021. It is this understanding that fuels my anticipation for an imminent buying opportunity.
My attention is fixed on the 1-hourly chart on the left, where the market is poised to retest the crucial level of 137.46. This critical juncture presents the ideal scenario for a potential buying opportunity, perfectly aligning with the formation of a Bullish Bat Pattern.
While others succumb to pessimism, I see the hidden potential for USDJPY to surge once again.

Unlocking Profit Potential: Why I'm Holding Out for a Prime BuyiThis week, an opportunity has presented itself for a potential buying position on the GBPUSD pair. Two prominent trading setups - the Bullish Shark Pattern and the AB=CD pattern - have emerged, signalling a potential bullish trend.
While I hold a bullish bias due to a previous break and close above resistance on the weekly chart, I exercise caution and wait for confirmation from candlestick patterns before entering the trade.
This strategic approach ensures that I make informed and calculated trading decisions.
USOil | New perspective for the week | Follow-up detailDriven by worries about demand linked to recession risks and the strain in the US banking sector, the oil prices experienced a dramatic decline in the previous week (6.5% drop). However, Oil prices received a boost after Friday’s robust US jobs report which eased concerns over the prospect of a downturn in the economy as strong jobs growth is often a plus for oil, whose consumption depends on peoples’ mobility and economic vibrancy. The US economic docket will be closely watched in the coming week as the US Department of Labor Statistics is set to release April inflation data on Wednesday with economists expecting the core consumer price index, which excludes volatile food and fuel prices, to increase by 5.5% on a year-over-year basis, after a 5.6% increase a month earlier. A weaker-than-expected reading could increase the expectations for a rate cut which in turn may cause a price correction upward in the coming weeks for the oil commodity but a beyond-expectation data would support the case for interest rate hikes in the future. In this video, we dissected the market structure from a technical standpoint to sniff out trading opportunities ahead of the new week.

CON-TRADE1 AUDJPY BULLISH IDEAPotential Bullish Entry Dow Theory In Place -
Higher High and Higher Low Expected in Place
The trade was executed on the formation of ascending triangle coupled with bullish divergence (Bullish reversal pattern) on the 6th of May. The entry successfully hit the target. Now the entry is executed on the basis of dow theory and continuation of the trend.
SL & TP Levels are defined.
Bullish, Planning to Buy & HoldDespite being within the sell zone on the weekly chart, there has been a clear break and close above the previous structure.
This has led me to adopt a bullish stance on the mid to long-term outlook and I'm currently waiting for a buying opportunity on the 1-hourly chart.
The buying opportunity may arise either at the trendline, if the candle touches it but doesn't break and close below it, or at the support level of 1.2556, which could provide another potential entry point for a long position.
Stay alert for these potential opportunities to capitalize on the market's movement.
GBPUSD | Perspective for the new week | Follow-upGBPUSD turns positive for the fourth straight week but this time around did a significant breakout of the 1.25000 level - climbing to a two-week high on Friday to set the tone for a bullish momentum ahead of the new month. However, bets for another 25 bps rate hike by the US Fed Reserve in the coming week could tilt an imbalance in the market influx. It is also important to note that the coming week is laced with a handful of high-impact macroeconomic event that could incite a choppy situation in this market.

XAUUSD | New perspective | follow-up detailsThe previous week witnessed a risk-averse market atmosphere that helped the US Dollar find demand at the 1,970 area as a safe haven ahead of the FOMC. Economic data from the previous week reveals that though inflation is falling, it still remains well above the Federal Reserve's annual goal of 2% hereby increasing the expectations of another 25 basis-point interest rate hike when the central bank meets next week - a move which is likely going to favor the Greenback. In this video, we have taken the time to dissect the current market structure from a technical standpoint to identify potential trading opportunities ahead of the new month.

USOil | New perspective for the week | Follow-up detailThe previous month witnessed a 4% drop in oil prices despite the OPEC+ member's decision to cut a further 1.7 million barrels from its daily output, adding to an earlier pledge from November to take off 2.0 million barrels per day. The implementation of this pledged cut is supposed to begin next month - May 2023 and this could result in some interesting market influx as the month starts in the coming week. In this video, I shared with you my thought process from a technical standpoint as we plan to take a decisive position ahead of the market opening.

Taking an Aggressive Approach for Extended TargetsAfter a considerable wait, the bullish bat pattern has finally been completed, indicating a potential buying opportunity for traders.
However, conservative traders may want to wait for the candlestick to close at 1.2463 before entering the trade.
On the other hand, I took a more aggressive approach and entered the trade today, given the presence of two extended targets on the GBPUSD trade.
It will be interesting to see how this trade progresses, and I have placed a safe house at the traditional first target of the Bat Pattern to manage my risk effectively.
Why News Headlines Can Be MisleadingIn recent times, we have been bombarded with headlines such as "Dollar Slide", "US Debt Ceiling Closing", "US Bank Failure", "19 Countries show interest in joining the BRICS".
While these news items may give the impression of a weakening US Dollar, it is important to take a closer look at the chart.
Contrary to these headlines, the US Dollar is actually appreciating! Smart traders know it is important to analyse chart patterns and not rely solely on news headlines.
For trend traders, a buying opportunity could arise when the market retraces and sits on the blue trendline.
Meanwhile, counter-trend traders may need to adopt an aggressive approach by waiting for the 3-bar reversal to appear within the red box for a potential counter-trend trading move.
Remember, don't be misled by news headlines, always analyse the chart and make informed trading decisions.
Critical Support Level Identified for GBPUSDOn closer analysis of the GBPUSD on a higher timeframe, it is evident that the candlestick has closed above the previous high, thereby confirming the bullish trend of the currency.
However, one must exercise caution before diving in, as the current market price is currently situated on the weekly chart supply zone, which traditionally indicates a sell zone.
Nevertheless, my outlook remains bullish on the GBPUSD, and I plan to take a measured approach by waiting for the market to retrace back to 1.2500 and watch out for a Double Bottom on the 1-hourly chart before making any trading decisions.
This strategy will enable me to minimize risk while maximizing potential returns.
The Art of TradingOn the right, the Bearish Crab Pattern on the daily chart is going to form at 105.29. Like you, I did have the impulse to buy it up and short it down, but that couldn't be the way. At the minimum, the strategy has to be tested.
If you have that thought, you could wait for buying opportunity on the lower timeframe.
I'm waiting for the retest of the trendline on the 1-hourly chart to long.
GBPUSD | Perspective for the new week | Follow-upDespite US job growth slowing down, the economy still added 236,000 jobs in March though below expectation and has averaged gains of 345,000 per month during the first quarter, well above the level the central bank sees as consistent with its 2% inflation goal. An immediate reaction resulted in the dollar strengthening on Friday hereby suggesting that the Federal Reserve may have to raise interest rates next month. With nonfarm payrolls out of the way, all attention is now focused on next week's US consumer price index (CPI) for the month of March. From a technical standpoint, this video shed light on the critical nature of the current market structure as we anticipate the series of high-impact macroeconomic events in the coming week.

XAUUSD | New perspective | follow-up detailsGold prices sliced through the key HKEX:2 ,000 level on Tuesday after a sharp drop in U.S. job openings in February. The yellow metal touched its highest in one year on Wednesday as recent U.S. economic data fanned fears of a slowdown and spurred bets the Federal Reserve may ease up on rate hikes. Following the public holiday on Friday, we were not able to see the immediate reaction of price action to the NFP reading which revealed additional 236,000 jobs in March. In this video, we took a technical dissection of the current market structure to identify a simple set-up to guide trading activities in the coming week(s).

USDJPY | Perspective for the new week | follow-up detailsWith the appearance of a potential reversal pattern in the 4H timeframe; I am of the opinion that the USDJPY pair seems poised to register weekly gains for the first time in a couple of weeks. And to further buttress this is the fundamental indicator from data showing a sudden rise in the US jobless claims hereby indicating a cool effect in the labor market. With this reading, the sentiment in the market remains "hopeful" as key players expect there could be limited headroom to keep raising interest rates, especially in the face of a potential banking crisis. In this video, we took a technical dissection of the current market structure to weigh in on the potential trading opportunity for the coming week(s).

GBPUSD | Perspective for the new week | Follow-upU.S. consumer spending rose moderately in February, while inflation showed signs of cooling hereby boosting hopes the Federal Reserve would be less aggressive in hiking interest rates. On the other hand, a dim economic outlook overshadows data revealing Britain avoided a recession in the final months of 2022 could be a turning point for the Sterling as it hit resistance again at the close of last week's trading session at the $1.24500 zone. In this video, we did a technical analysis of the current market structure to decipher what to look out for in the coming week as all eyes will be on the NFP data amongst other high-impact macroeconomic events this week.
