After dropping near the 1.1 support level, EUR/USD began recovering its losses and successfully reclaimed the 1.11 resistance level. However, after testing the 1.1150 resistance (which previously acted as support during the top formation), the release of the Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) data triggered a strong reversal, pushing the pair back below the 1.11 support...

In my August 8 analysis, I highlighted the Morning Star pattern, which retested the previous resistance of the broken triangle, signaling a potential reversal to the upside with a target above 1.31 for the next leg up. As anticipated, the price did reverse, and not only was the target reached, but it was also surpassed. However, after breaking above the...

As expected, ETH/USD experienced a sharp decline last week, revisiting its recent low. After this sell-off, the price began to recover and has now risen back to the previously broken support level. However, the rise has been choppy, overlapping, and corrective in nature, indicating that the downtrend may not be over just yet. A stop hunt above 2400, especially...

As previously explained, I believe XAU/USD is poised for a significant decline, and I indicated my sell zone between 2505 and 2510. However, after the initial drop from this zone, Gold found strong support at the 2500 level, which led me to close my sell position. Looking ahead, at this moment, the price seems well-bid and is steadily rising within a channel....

The Japanese Yen (JPY) has been one of the weakest currencies in the past three years, with some pairs experiencing a significant 70-80% devaluation, particularly against CHF, EUR, and GBP (CHF/JPY, EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY). However, since reaching a low in early July, the JPY has shown signs of reversing. When looking at the JPY Index (see posted chart), we can...

It's been a challenging few weeks for XAU/USD traders, especially for those of us who prefer swing trading with larger targets. As a directional trader, I usually aim for 400-500 pips per trade, but the recent market conditions have tested my strategy. With the total range being only around 600 pips over the past couple of weeks, volatility has been limited from...

Similar to other USD pairs, AUD/USD experienced a drop on Friday, breaking below a head and shoulders pattern. This breakdown signals a strong potential for further downside. As long as the 0.67 resistance level holds, my strategy is to sell into rallies. The 0.6575 zone serves as a key target for bearish traders.

In my weekend analysis and yesterday’s video, I expressed the view that XAU/USD has turned bearish in the mid-term, with the potential for a drop below the 2475 support zone. After initially pulling back to the NFP low, the price rebounded and returned to my sell zone between 2505-2510 (as previously explained). However, this recovery from 2485 seems more...

In my Friday analysis, I mentioned that if the DXY drops below the support zone, defined by the recent low and the year's starting price, we could expect further downside. Initially, following the release of the NFP data, the price did decline, but it quickly reversed after reaching the support level, forming a strong bullish reversal candle with a long tail on...

After dipping to 50k in early August, Bitcoin staged a recovery and climbed to 65k. However, the bullish momentum lacked follow-through, as buyers were unable to push past the resistance of a large flag pattern that has kept Bitcoin in a corrective phase for months. In the short term, Bitcoin’s price pulled back down from 65k, initially forming what looked like a...

There’s no better time to post this educational article than right now. Despite constantly reminding myself to "trade what you see, not what you think or hope," two days ago I did the exact opposite. I ignored a clear double Pin Bar formation at a support level, which resulted in me taking a stop loss. Ironically, I knew better. But, as the saying goes, "Do as...

At the beginning of August, ETH/USD broke below the crucial $2,900 support level, accelerating to the downside and reaching a low of $2,300. As expected, a recovery followed, with a retest of the broken level. However, despite two attempts by bulls to reclaim the newly formed resistance in August, both efforts failed, and the price subsequently rolled back down...

Yesterday, I took a stop loss, which is, of course, a normal part of trading. What’s ironic, though, is that overall, I’m bullish on Gold. Even more ironic is the fact that in my Monday analysis, I mentioned that Gold would likely test the 2480 zone before continuing its upward trend. I even spotted the 'double Pin Bar formation' at the bottom, yet I remained...

In my previous DXY analysis I said that, although the index reversed from the beginning of the year support, bulls should not get too excited as long as the index is under 102.30 zone. In the next days, the index resumed its fall and now is trading back towards recent lows. Today's NFP data could bring clarification and if the index falls below the recent lows,...

In Forex trading, it’s crucial to distinguish between a professional approach and a gambling mindset. Often, new traders unintentionally approach the market like gamblers, driven by emotion or the desire for fast profits. However, success in Forex is about being methodical and disciplined, rather than relying on chance. Let’s explore the key differences between a...

In my last EUR/USD commentary, I mentioned that the pair could reach 1.11. That target was not only met but exceeded, with a top at 1.12. The pair is currently in a normal corrective phase, and once this correction ends, EUR/USD could resume its upward movement. My strategy is to buy on dips near the 1.10 level, with the potential for a 1:3 risk-to-reward ratio...

Yesterday, Gold once again touched the critical support zone between 2470-2475, and, as before, bulls managed to defend it, causing a price rebound. While at first glance this support appears solid, I believe it will eventually give way, with the price likely dropping to at least 2450. Of course, I could be wrong, which is why I’ve set my invalidation level in...

In early August, the NAS100 broke below the support line of a channel that had kept the tech-heavy index elevated for nearly a year. However, after reaching the horizontal support zone around the 17,000 level, the price quickly rebounded and returned to the key 20,000 area. Despite this recovery, the bulls couldn’t maintain momentum, and two days ago, the index...
