I performed a more detailed analysis for the DXY (I trade the EURUSD, but the DXY is the main factor in my entries). The price is in an ascending channel. The pink zone is the monthly timeframe resistance, and as you can see, the price has been battling it for some time. I like it when the price is in this position because there are usually many opportunities The green lines are the daily timeframe swing highs, where I'll be looking for confirmation on the h4 and d1 timeframes. What I think is that the price will break through the first swing high (100.265) and reach the second (100.645). Trading, however, isn't about speculation based on what we think or what we want to see, but rather making decisions based on what's already on the chart. Right now, we're seeing what I described. Next week will likely bring some entries, as there are several interesting levels near the current price

Probably a sneak peak: weekend EU dropped and recovered - sneak peak is the drop, not the recovery

The price has hit the swing high I marked (100.265). Now it's waiting for confirmation on which direction to open the order.

If the current candle on the DXY closes like this (inside bar), I see two possibilities. Either an attack on the swing low of 99.449 or an attack on the swing high of 100.553. In the case of the EURUSD, it will be an attack on the swing high of 1.16058 or the swing low of 1.14578. I'll let you know when I'm in a position.

The candle closed as an inside bar. I'm setting alerts and waiting for a breakout (probably to the bottom). I'm following h1 from now.
Additionally, a fvg (or ifvg) and an outside bar are forming on D1. If the day closes this way, I'll be very convinced that the forward-looking trend is about to fall.

1.1563 has the potential to short. But I think I‘ll sit this one out.

If the H1 candle closes below the swing low of 99.755, I will enter into a buy trade on EuRusd (buy limit after a retest to the broken swing high)

Here is my 2 cents as someone who have been using DXY as compass for my trades over several years.

- Do not focus on low or high, unless its part of HTF - on LTF it will often fake out, either through wick or body close
- Focus on general order-flow for DXY and time your forex entries opposing that order-flow - the timing is difficult, try to time to your best ability and dont be shy of being stopped out - because forex market will either do a deep or shallow move corresponding to the DXY move - you never know which!
- DXY can consolidate and forex pairs can dump or pump - if its part of the orderflow for those forex pairs- lets say the order-flow is DXY consolidation, but current day is green, which translates to forex dump:
- In consolidation, lets say DXY pumps, forex starts dumping hard, next day DXY dumps, forex pairs will barely pump, before next day dumping hard, when DXY barely pumps.

Order-flow of DXY but most important, order-flow of the pair you are trading in forex!

with the london high and lows already identified, we all have seen it closed bearishly signalling a flip in bias. but that alone is not a full confirmation for a bearish entry.

for me, i think a break above the london high or low will define my entry without hesitation

I have 1.1664/1.1669 for EU. But haven’t taken any EU/GU trade in nearly 2 weeks.

price just barely (maybe 0.5 pip) took out the relative equal highs and rejected after.

Seeing how the news is turning sour, which was the reason for the pump in the first place - I would be careful doing anything.
