It's now a game of who will blinks first. I honestly cannot see Iran giving up 10% capacity on each Oil well, 10% that they'll never get back. The US know that they have the upperhand here.

Explanation/interpretation is there. I posted my view of wkly OI dynamics and current state based on my experience working with this tool; I can't know the real intentions of those traders

An interesting Daily close.. more 'expressive' on EU (although I always say that candles themselves have no predictive power)
The only thing that can support the bulls, IMHO, is the macroeconomic situation/TACO/reverse TACO

{quote} [...] Year 2018 had double tops at 1.43 (Jan and April 17) if we are to see such similarities in 2026, could it be a sign of 1.38 under attack again in April? [...]
Very intriguing to watch how it develops.
If it holds at least for this month...

W/e summary

* 115% of 6mth amr already traveled by price so far this month. Price closes the week above the Mthly Pivot (which is @/around 328,) and in fact above Mthly R1. The mthly candle thus far is looking bullish.
* The > 13wk awr (101%) wkly candle closes bullishly, and would have closed @ least with a bullish-body even without the week's opening gap down. The week closes with this t/f still rangy. The week opened and closes above it's now old Wkly Pivot.
* Fri's < 30dar adr (87%) dly candle is the 3rd bearish-bodied candle consecutively, (a pinbar candle,) on this t/f. The t/f closes the week possibly going into a new uptrend,? depending on whether the 3380/81 LWL holds, and a new HL or L is printed above it.
* The 4hr t/f closes the week in a general uptrend with a sharp downside p/back from Fri's hi, (YH) / now LWH, @ 3599. It's last candle close was a bearish thrust candle.

61.8% of the 3870-3159 (CYH-CYL) down-move is @ what is now LWH/CMH. 3 x 4hr attempts now to get north of the prev dly/4hr sw lo zone = prev sbr x 3 = pot sbr that starts @ 3595, and on dly t/f extends to circa 3614, in which this fib and one other resides.

This instrument/market, as with others, still remains @ the mercy of specific geopolitical events, and can react to any w/e events, @ the new open.

Wkly, then Dly, then 4Hr, below

The GBPUSD price action on the H4 time frame retested the 1.35080 intra-day horizontal support on Friday. Technically, we may still see bullish challenge or correction in the early part of this week before further southward price engineering.

I may be wrong. Trade safe and prosper.

Hi, I watch those zones for price reaction, decision points. Looking left, those are the areas that either provided support/resistance.
