1. Market Structure
๐น Identify HTF Trend (H4 or H1): bullish, bearish, or range
๐น Confirm Break of Structure (BOS) or Change of Character (CHoCH) on M15โM5
๐น Look for lower highs/lows (downtrend) or higher highs/lows (uptrend)
2. Liquidity Zones
๐น Look for equal highs/lows (liquidity pools)
๐น Asian highs/lows โ common targets during London/NY session
๐น Recent internal range liquidity
๐น Trendline liquidity โ fakeouts often occur here
3. Premium & Discount Zones (PD Arrays)
๐น Use Fibonacci from recent swing high to low
๐น Look for entries at Discount (Longs) or Premium (Shorts) pricing
๐น Ideal entries happen between 0.62โ0.79 retracement
4. Supply & Demand Zones
๐น Find fresh OBs (Order Blocks) that caused a break of structure
๐น Use last bullish candle before strong drop (for short) or last bearish candle before strong rally (for long)
๐น Confirm zone isnโt mitigated yet
5. Imbalance / Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
๐น Identify large imbalanced candles (no wick overlap)
๐น Ideal entries are inside the FVG aligned with direction
๐น High probability if FVG is within OB or confluence with structure/liquidity
6. Confluences for Entry
๐น Entry aligns with liquidity sweep or FVG/OB tap
๐น Volume spike or rejection wick confirms interest
๐น RSI divergence or exhaustion = bonus confirmation
๐น Use M1/M5 for entry trigger after setup is formed on M15โH1

๐น TP3: Opposite OB or major FVG
๐น Adjust SL to breakeven after reaching TP1
9. Session Timing (Important)
๐น Asian range โ look for liquidity setup
๐น London Open (3PMโ6PM PH))โ manipulative move (liquidity grab)
๐น NY Open (8PMโ11PM PH) โ continuation or reversal opportunity
๐น Avoid high-impact news releases unless breakout

Market next target ๐ Disruption Analysis of the EUR/USD Chart
1. "Support" Label Positioned at the Current Price Level
Disruption: The chart marks 1.1705 as โSupport,โ but price is sitting directly on or slightly above it.
Challenge: If price is already breaking through or hovering at support without bouncing, itโs a sign of weakness โ this zone may no longer be valid as support.
โ
Correction: Re-label this area as โPotential Resistanceโ if a breakdown confirms.
---
2. Directional Bias Assumes Continuation Without Confirmation
Disruption: Three yellow arrows indicate a bearish continuation, yet no bearish candlestick pattern, volume spike, or break-close-below-support has been confirmed.
Challenge: This is a premature projection that lacks price action validation.
โ
Correction: Wait for a confirmed candle close below 1.1700 with increased volume to validate the move.
---
3. Volume Ignored Despite Clear Clues
Disruption: There is rising volume during the move down near support โ this could indicate either strong selling or smart money accumulation.
Challenge: Volume analysis is completely overlooked, missing a critical layer of confirmation.
โ
Correction: Analyze the volume spike on the red candles; if followed by weak follow-through, a bullish reversal may be setting up instead
should be going up after correction ends.cant be certain when it comes down to correction waves, it might be here 1.1211 it might go little bit more down around 1.1152 or 1.10 but when it ends it will go for higher than 1.17 also correction wave lenght will give us a better idea where the tp should be so i will keep my first buy position and will add when i am certain when next impulse wave started.

EUR/USD - Potential TargetsDear Friends in Trading,
How I see it,
Key Confluence SUPPORT & DEMAND @ 1.16000 area
Potential correction before bullish continuation
"LONG" Targets:
1] 1.17445
2] 1.18700 - MAJOR LIQ. LEVEL
Keynote:
I will not sell the correction; I will wait for bullish confirmation within key support
area on at least 1HR + 4HR timeframes.
Only after a strong breach of support & demand area (1D candle body),
will I consider looking for any short setups.
I sincerely hope my point of view offers a valued insight.
Thank you for taking the time to study my analysis.
EUR/USD RALLY CREATES NEW BUY ZONE!Hey traders so continuing to watch the Euro.
Don't you just love it when a trade plan comes together and everything goes as you expect?
Don't get too excited normally we only get our forecasts right around 50% of the time!
However this one is working out well so far so now where to from here?
The Trend is your Friend until it bends or breaks.
Same plan wait for the pullback or profit taking from this rally when it drops buy again at the trendline. Im not going to say it's always this easy but you don't need indicators to draw a straight line and connect 3 bars.
Trading can be simple or complicated the easier we keep it the better imo.๐
Place stop below trendline or support as US Dollar Continues to weaken this trend should continue to move in our favor.
If Bearish I normally don't recommend counter trend trading because it can be difficult. So unless I see the US Dollar Index Bottom I don't think the trend will have any major changes.
Another thing if you are still long you can enter more positions on this next pullback. That way you can build a larger position in a trending market.
It's like playing the waiting game be patient and eventually she will come to you!
Always use Risk Management!
(Just in we are wrong in our analysis most experts recommend never to risk more than 2% of your account equity on any given trade.)
Good Luck & Hope This Helps Your Trading ๐

Elliot basic insight Base on the up trend movement, EU actually displaying a basic clear Elliot wave just like the textbook word. With the DAILY Candle closed yesterday, give a reason to enter meanwhile that next movement will be the 5th anticipate, since Elliot is a 12345 waves.
YOU CAN LOOK INTO IT.
EURUSD Soars Beyond 1.17, Eyeing 2021 Highs on DXY DrawdownAs EUR/USD breaks further above the upper boundary of a 17-year descending channel, U.S. dollar dominance over the pair appears to be fading, leaving room for long-term upside potential.
The pair has now reached levels last seen in September 2021 near 1.1750. A decisive close above this level could extend gains toward the 1.20 mark, aligned with the 2021 peaks.
On the downside, a close back below the 1.1570 support may trigger a pullback toward 1.14 and 1.13 before a potential bullish continuation. If that fails, the upper boundary of the former channel could be retested at 1.11 and 1.10.
- Razan Hilal, CMT
Clear enough?we see a long push with displacement on the H1 that leaves behind a confluence between an Order Block and an Imbalance, up above there is an imbalance that also has a cconfluence with the senitive zone represented from the buyside liquidity of the previous range.
I currently want to see price head down there to start searching for an entry.
If anyone has questions feel free to ask.
EURUSD Wave Analysis โ 25 June 2025
- EURUSD broke resistance level 1.1575
- Likely to rise to resistance level 1.1800
EURUSD currency pair recently broke the resistance level 1.1575 , which is the former monthly high from the middle of April.
The breakout of the resistance level 1.1575 continues the active short-term impulse wave 3 of the intermediate impulse wave (3) from the start of May.
Given the strong daily uptrend, EURUSD currency pair can be expected to rise to the next resistance level 1.1800, which intersects with the daily up channel from May.
EURUSD broke the Resistance level 1.16100 ๐ Possible scenario:
The euro rose 0.1% on June 24, nearing 1.16250 and hitting a 2.5-year high of 1.16410, as the U.S. dollar softened following soft remarks from Fed Chair Jerome Powell and weak U.S. data. Powell warned that tariffs may boost inflation this summer but signaled openness to rate cuts if economic risks grow.
U.S. consumer confidence fell unexpectedly in June, fueling concerns about a slowing job market and economy. This boosted expectations for a July Fed rate cut, now seen at 18%, and supported the euro as traders weighed diverging Fed-ECB policy paths. Traders now see an 18% chance of a July cut, boosting the euro amid diverging Fed-ECB outlooks.

EUR/USD Nears 1.1620 Before Powellโs TestimonyEUR/USD edged up to 1.1615 in early European trading on Wednesday, supported by improved risk sentiment after Israel and Iran signaled an end to their air conflict. The truce, backed by pressure from President Trump, increased appetite for risk assets, favoring the euro over the dollar.
All eyes are now on Fed Chair Jerome Powell, who reiterated on Tuesday that monetary policy will remain data-driven. However, comments from Kansas City Fed President Schmid hinted at caution due to tariff-driven inflation. While markets expect a rate cut in September, July odds have edged slightly higher.
Resistance is at 1.1630, while support is at 1.1530.
