Quoting arjunansh
One key observation from today’s London session is the strong selling pressure below 1.16900. However, despite the aggressive downside attempts, price has failed to sustain lower and continues to hold firm around the 1.17000 level. This type of price action suggests absorption, where selling pressure is being absorbed by buyers. Lack of downside continuation after heavy selling often points to underlying strength and a potential shift in short-term sentiment. As long as price holds above 1.17000, the bullish case remains valid. In that scenario,...
Following yesterday’s analysis, price has successfully held above the 1.17500 level, confirming the underlying strength and bullish continuation scenario.
Unfortunately, due to a busy schedule, I wasn’t able to participate in this move. No regrets though — opportunities are always there, and the focus remains on planning the next trade with a clear, emotion-free approach.
Hope everyone managed to catch this move. On to the next setup.

Based on the current price action, the market appears to be shifting its focus towards filling the imbalance left behind. The gap around the 1.18000 level remains clearly visible on the chart, and price may attempt to trade into that area.
My approach will be to look for long opportunities from lower levels, aiming for a favorable risk-to-reward setup, with 1.18000 as the potential target.
As always, this is a probabilistic approach — the setup can fail, which is why proper risk management and stop-loss placement remain essential.
Wishing everyone the best. Hope we all catch some good pips.

As mentioned in my previous post, I will be relatively busy throughout this week, so I won’t be able to monitor the market actively.
With today’s USD news (Core PPI m/m and PPI m/m), volatility is expected to be higher than usual. However, I will only consider a trade if time and risk-to-reward conditions align properly.
If I get a clear setup and manage to execute a trade, I will share an update.
Until then, staying patient and letting the market do its thing.

With the gap now filled, there's a possibility the market will begin trapping long positions, exactly as I pointed out earlier this morning.

With EUR showing signs of a retracement, I’ll be looking to position short once a clear opportunity presents itself.

“The trend is bullish, and a bearish confirmation is still missing. The H1 is getting messy, and taking trades here increases the chances of getting stopped out.

Price has respected the level with a precise 4H close above it, signaling bullish intent.

If EUR had provided a proper retest around the 1.17550 level, I would have felt more comfortable looking for buys towards the 1.19000 swing target.
At the moment, I’m not fully confident as the move lacks a clean pullback, and there still seems to be room for a retracement. That said, I could be wrong, and price may continue higher from here without offering a deeper correction.

Currently, I don’t see a trade that offers a clear and controlled risk.
Long positions lack a well-defined stop-loss, and selling against the structure isn’t something I’m comfortable with. While price may extend towards 1.18250, there’s no clean entry for me at this stage.
Stepping aside for now — capital and mental clarity come first. Opportunities will always be there.

I’m ready to short EUR for a retracement, as the risk–reward looks favorable.

Missed this move as my entry didn’t trigger — price fell short by a couple of pips. Sticking to the plan.

At the moment, price appears to be clearly range-bound on the H1 timeframe. As long as it continues to trade between these marked support and resistance levels, I’ll treat this as consolidation and avoid aggressive positioning. For now, it’s more of a time-pass market until a clean breakout occurs on either side.

Congratulations to both buyers and sellers. This is where patience really matters. Sometimes doing nothing is the best decision. Still working on staying disciplined myself. Have a great weekend everyone.

Risk management is everything. I try to focus more on how much I’m willing to lose rather than what I can gain. When risk is defined, execution becomes easier and emotions reduce. Still learning to stay consistent.

EURUSD buyers should stay cautious. Price may move lower from here. My plan today is to wait and look for selling opportunities.

A daily close with a shooting star indicates strong rejection from higher levels and may signal a potential reversal to the downside.

I apologize for my recent statement. I mistakenly referred to a shooting star candle as a doji due to a busy schedule. I have now corrected the statement.

Price is currently moving within a small corrective channel after a strong bearish move, approaching a key H1 supply zone around 1.1788. I’ll be calling it a day here and will reassess tomorrow for potential opportunities. Thank you.
