the 12h dont look like it will close under 1637. It had a rejection earlier. . pa could test the month 1682.. The month and week point lower to me.. the day looks to allow some rise.

It should keep 1637 in reach. I dont know how much above 1637 before it yanks the chain. 1683 may stop it. 1662/63 has that attraction.
If it dont get back to 1662, with a fall below 1637. may start a drop. I think the rise is limited.

if above 1662 i guess it may go to near 1690 but yea 1682 is critical

1662 should hold!

1667/68 can be pliable. It can reject upper movement.. It may wick past..
But it may hold. Instead of just using 1637 today. 1634 is needed too
Between 1634/67 can range. A more neutral range area today.
I still see it all on the bear side of 1682
Bullside of 1556.. between 1619 near the atm low this week.
If this month closed below 1556.. It looks to have more
we could be in the area until. 1556/1682 it decides. 1619 in the middle

The news was usd positive.. It likely bounced from 1637..and or 34.. it may need some time to break those + lc can pull some too. i think it will settle lower eventually
1654 may develop some R

Now she is settling 1606 and 1573 may cause some bounce before 1558. But using a week average range. It may be below 1500 by Friday. (1490)
The month maybe 1366

Hey Gator, Can you go over AUDUSD, please?
it looks bearish to me. It may be ready to fall anytime. Some R at the white line.. Above the white sustained could change things.. I have the month wk day pointing down.. Use something else to verify this. This alone is not enough just a guide I dont trade against

I had the structure as bearish. The indicators were bullish. Although the month closed bearish in my structure. The week was bullish. The week since has flipped to bear. Not taking 1714 to me was bearish. After the month signaled bearish. 1637 may be a short.. Or at least some R

Yea i have mixed signals maybe because of the consolidation over the last 2-3 months, some indicators maybe lagging but i think bear has a shot.
if back above 1714 then void
1556 critical which bear needs to go below as a confirmation of a trend switch

Commander’s Market Log – Fry-Day 22nd Aug 2025
By DJ EM K
Daily Bias: Bearish close confirmed – bulls need time. Range likely tight in Asia before London sets direction.
Power Zone of Control:
1.1600 – 1.1623
(Whichever side breaks with London volume will dictate the day.)
Downside Confluence Zones (Bear)
• 1.1600 – 1.1606 → Daily close + TP zone
• 1.1584 – 1.1573 → Daily S1 + DeMark support
• 1.1562 – 1.1557 → Daily S2 + H4 structural low
• 1.1522 → Daily S3, last line
Upside Confluence Zones (Bull Relief)
• 1.1618 – 1.1623 → Daily Pivot + DeMark equal-close pivot
• 1.1645 – 1.1649 → Daily R1 + Weekly MA cluster + H4 downtrend retest
• 1.1680s → Resistance block (Daily R2 + Weekly pivot shadows)
• 1.1707 → Daily R3 (unlikely without shock)
Battle Plan:
• Asia: Expect compression between 1.1600 1.1620 (~20 pip box). Watch liquidity grabs both sides.
• Frankfurt/London: Sweep above 1.1623 and fail = sell trigger toward 1.1585.
• NY / Jackson Hole: Dovish Powell = relief squeeze toward 1.1645/1.1680. Otherwise, continuation to 1.1560s.
Closing Note:
Friday can turn into Fry-Day – protect capital, scalp the edges, let the zones guide you.

I dont know.. 1556 is in the way
The month and week to me lined up to test it.. Will it support, or become R 1573 another smaller one.. We may see a bounce later. 1637 is not so close but may resist .. 1615 could get tagged again.

I think we will get there. Just not sure if we will get there in London or later when Powell speaks

1590 could bounce too but if sell pressure is strong maybe not
