EUR/USD Soars as Trump's "Peace Claims" Come to LifeEUR/USD recorded significant gains and climbed to around 1.1610 during Monday's Asian session. Risk-on sentiment (the return of risk appetite) swept through global financial markets, triggering profit-taking and weakening the US dollar (USD) after Bloomberg released an official report on the success of the comprehensive peace pact in the Middle East signed over the weekend. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ✅ Fundamental Dynamics: Washington-Tehran Peace Declaration & Opening of the Strait of Hormuz The worst-case scenario of global stagflation that markets had feared for the past four months was instantly shattered by a historic diplomatic breakthrough on Sunday: - Pakistan's Mediating Role: Bloomberg reported that Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif confirmed that the United States and Iran had officially agreed to a comprehensive peace draft. Both sides declared an immediate and permanent cessation of military operations on all conflict fronts, including a cessation of secondary tensions in Lebanon. - Donald Trump's Official Announcement: US President Donald Trump stated in a social media post on Sunday, "The deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete." Trump followed up by granting full authorization for the free reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the immediate lifting of the US Navy blockade of the Persian Gulf. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ✅ EUR/USD Technical Analysis (Intraday H4) Technically, the sharp recovery in EUR/USD this morning broke the short-term bearish hold and triggered short-covering: - 1.1685: Late May Peak (Bulls' Target / Strong Resistance) - 1.1645: Nearest Horizontal Resistance (June 4-5 High) - Role Reversal of Support & Resistance Levels: The euro's successful break above 1.1580 (former strong support level from May 21 that briefly became resistance) transformed that area into a new intraday support level. - Upward Impulse Target: EUR/USD's path of least resistance has shifted to the upside this week. The immediate target for buyers is a test of 1.1645 before opening the way to 1.1685.

EURUSD Recovery Faces Strong Resistance Near 1.1600EURUSD has bounced from the 1.1500 area after sweeping downside liquidity, but traders remain cautious about calling a trend reversal. The broader picture still favours the US Dollar, especially with DXY holding near 100 and markets expecting the Federal Reserve to remain patient on rate cuts. From a market structure perspective, the rally is currently testing the EMA34 and a nearby supply zone. This often becomes an area where sellers re-enter during a bearish trend. If buyers fail to push above 1.1600, the pair may resume its downward path. Trade Setup: Sell Zone: 1.1570 – 1.1600 Stop Loss: 1.1635 Take Profit 1: 1.1520 Take Profit 2: 1.1500 Take Profit 3: 1.1460 A sustained H4 close above 1.1600 would weaken the bearish outlook and support a deeper recovery.

EURUSD — EMA Bearish Trend, Sell From Value Zone Fundamental Analysis EURUSD remains under pressure as the market continues to watch USD momentum, Fed expectations, and upcoming U.S. macro data. If the dollar stays supported, recovery attempts on EURUSD may remain limited. For next week, the main focus is whether price can retest the value zone above before continuing lower in line with the EMA trend. Technical Analysis On the 4H chart, EURUSD is still trading inside a descending channel. EMA 34, EMA 89, and EMA 200 remain above price, showing that the main structure is still bearish. Price is currently around 1.1565 after reacting from the lower support area. However, this recovery is moving toward the Fibonacci value zone and EMA resistance area near 1.1615. The main sell zone is around 1.1612 - 1.1627. This area aligns with the 0.382 - 0.5 Fibonacci retracement, EMA resistance, previous broken structure, and liquidity above price. The key bearish confirmation level is around 1.1500 - 1.1510. If price rejects from the value zone and breaks back below this support, the bearish continuation scenario becomes stronger. The weekly downside target is the Fibonacci 1.618 extension around 1.1387. Important Key Levels Current price area: 1.1565 Main sell zone: 1.1612 - 1.1627 Value zone / Fibonacci area: 1.1612 - 1.1627 Liquidity above: 1.1644 - 1.1646 EMA resistance area: 1.1592 - 1.1646 Key support zone: 1.1500 - 1.1510 Weekly Fibonacci target: 1.1387 Invalidation area: above 1.1646 Trading Scenario Main Sell Scenario Entry: 1.1612 - 1.1627 Stop Loss: 1.1646 Take Profit 1: 1.1510 Take Profit 2: 1.1450 Take Profit 3: 1.1387 Sell Condition The preferred setup is to wait for EURUSD to pull back into the 1.1612 - 1.1627 sell zone. This area is the main value zone on the chart and also aligns with EMA resistance, Fibonacci retracement, and previous broken structure. A sell setup becomes more valid if price forms bearish rejection from this zone, such as a long upper wick, bearish engulfing candle, failed breakout, or lower high below the EMA structure. If price rejects from the sell zone and breaks below 1.1500 - 1.1510, the bearish continuation view becomes stronger. The next downside focus would be 1.1450, followed by the weekly Fibonacci target around 1.1387. Entry Conditions Wait for price to retest 1.1612 - 1.1627. Look for bearish rejection before entering sell. A break below 1.1500 - 1.1510 confirms stronger downside pressure. If price breaks and holds above 1.1646, the sell setup is invalid. Overall, the main view for next week remains bearish while EURUSD trades below the EMA structure and inside the descending channel. The preferred plan is to wait for a pullback into the Fibonacci value zone, then look for sell confirmation toward 1.1510, 1.1450, and the weekly Fibonacci target at 1.1387. Do you share the same bearish view on EURUSD, or are you waiting for a cleaner rejection from the 1.1615 value zone first?

Bearish on AUD/USDAUDUSD Short Setup – Buy-Side Liquidity Sweep + MSS + Premium Supply Entry Market Narrative My higher-timeframe bias remained bearish as AUDUSD continued to print lower highs and lower lows, indicating institutional selling pressure was still present. With the bearish order flow intact, my objective was to identify areas where price could engineer liquidity before continuing lower. Step 1: Identify Buy-Side Liquidity Price rallied into a clearly visible pool of buy-side liquidity resting above recent swing highs. Rather than chasing the move higher, I anticipated that the market would seek liquidity above these highs to facilitate larger sell orders. As expected, price traded above the liquidity pool and swept the highs. Step 2: Wait for Market Structure Shift A liquidity sweep alone is not sufficient for entry. After the sweep, I waited for confirmation in the form of a bearish Market Structure Shift (MSS). The MSS confirmed that buyers were losing control and that institutional order flow was beginning to transition back to the downside. This was the first indication that the liquidity grab had likely completed. Step 3: Identify the Premium Supply Zone Following the MSS, price retraced back into the origin of the bearish displacement. This area contained: Fresh supply Institutional order flow Premium pricing relative to the current range The liquidity sweep region The confluence of these factors created a high-probability shorting opportunity. Entry Logic Entry: Retest of the supply zone after MSS Stop Loss: Above the liquidity sweep high Above the supply zone Take Profit: Major sell-side liquidity resting below Higher-timeframe demand zone Confluences ✅ Higher-timeframe bearish bias ✅ Buy-side liquidity sweep ✅ Bearish MSS confirmation ✅ Premium pricing ✅ Supply zone retest ✅ Strong risk-to-reward profile Risk Management The trade offers approximately 1:8 Risk-to-Reward, meaning the setup does not require a high win rate to remain profitable over a large sample size. The focus is not on predicting every move but on consistently executing high-quality asymmetric opportunities. Key Lesson Liquidity sweeps often create emotional buying at the highs. Instead of following the breakout, I waited for evidence that the move was engineered for liquidity collection. Once the sweep was followed by a bearish MSS and a retracement into premium supply, the market provided a structured and objective short opportunity. "Trade where liquidity is taken, not where retail traders are trapped.

NZD/USD - Sentiment & Liquidity Strateg 1. The "Buyer Lose" Trap At $0.58417$, retail buyers rushed to chase the bullish breakout, but they were quickly trapped as the market reversed sharply (marked as "Buyer Lose"). As these trapped buyers were forced to close their positions at a loss, their liquidations provided the downward fuel needed to complete the final liquidity sweep below $0.58077$. 2. The Trade Execution Plan Following the sweep down to $0.57957$, we see a strong bullish rejection. This confirms that the liquidity hunt is complete and the market is ready to reverse. - Entry: We enter Long around $0.58294$ once the price successfully reclaims the local range and confirms a bullish structural shift. - Stop Loss (SL): Placed at $0.57957$, safely below the liquidity sweep low. - Take Profit (TP): Target the pool of buy-stops resting above the previous highs at $0.59091$. What is your take on this liquidity setup? Do you think the bulls will easily clear the resistance to hit our TP? Let me know in the comments below! Disclaimer: This is for educational purposes only.

AUD/USD Held Back by RBA's Passive RallyOANDA:AUDUSD AUD/USD pared all of its daily gains from earlier in the week and sluggishly hovered around 0.7050 throughout Tuesday's Asian session. Sentiment toward the Australian dollar suffered a double blow due to the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) loss of domestic hawkish bias and the release of a very disappointing Chinese economic data package. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ✅ RBA Holds 4.35%: A Dry Oasis Without Hawkish Fuel The RBA's monetary policy meeting on Tuesday failed to surprise the market: - Official Cash Rate (OCR) Remains at 4.35%: As widely expected, the RBA kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged. However, the lack of rhetoric or commitment to further tightening in the policy statement disappointed investors. - External Sensitivity: The RBA's passive stance has deprived the Aussie of its internal monetary defense, making it a highly vulnerable and sensitive antipodean currency to deteriorating external economic data. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ✅ AUD/USD Technical Analysis (Intraday H4) Technically, AUD/USD failed to maintain its breakout momentum above the short-term trendline, confirming the return of a daily downside bias: - Fading Rally Pattern: The sharp rejection from the 0.7090 area demonstrates that every attempt at recovery in the Aussie pair was immediately exploited by institutions to open new short positions, capitalizing on the weakening momentum of Chinese Retail Sellers. - Least Resistance Line: Downward (Downside Dominance). As long as AUD/USD trades below the psychological level of 0.7100, the short-term bias remains tilted to the downside.

GBPUSD Range Tightens as Traders Wait for BreakoutGBPUSD is stuck near 1.3400, with buyers defending the 1.3330–1.3350 zone and sellers repeatedly blocking price near 1.3440–1.3450. This kind of compression usually means the market is waiting for a stronger catalyst before choosing direction. From a macro angle, traders are still watching Fed expectations, US data, and upcoming UK economic releases. Until one side breaks the range, short-term movement may remain choppy. Trade Setup: Buy Zone: 1.3390 – 1.3415 Stop Loss: 1.3330 Take Profit 1: 1.3450 Take Profit 2: 1.3500 Take Profit 3: 1.3520 A clean break below 1.3330 would shift focus toward 1.3280–1.3250.

NZDUSD Trade Idea – Sell Limit SetupPair: NZDUSD Order Type: Sell Limit Entry Price: 0.58760 (approx.) Stop Loss: 0.58967 Take Profit: 0.58341 Risk-Reward Ratio: ~1:2.0 Trade Thesis NZDUSD has rallied into a key higher-timeframe supply/resistance zone around 0.5870–0.5880, where previous selling pressure entered the market. The current bullish move appears to be a retracement within a broader bearish structure, offering a favorable location for a short position. The sell limit order is positioned at the upper boundary of the resistance zone, allowing participation only if price completes the pullback and taps into liquidity resting above recent highs. Technical Confluence Strong resistance/supply zone near 0.5876 Previous market structure suggests sellers remain active at higher prices Attractive risk-to-reward profile of approximately 1:2 Stop loss placed above the supply zone to protect against a bullish breakout Target aligned with the next significant support level around 0.5834 Disclaimer :: For Educational purpose.

EURUSD Bulls Build Momentum Above 1.1570EURUSD is showing better short-term strength as buyers defend the 1.1570–1.1580 zone. The move looks controlled rather than impulsive, which suggests traders may be building positions gradually. The next major test sits around 1.1600–1.1620. A clean break above this area could invite more buying interest, especially if the US Dollar starts losing momentum. Trade Setup: Buy Zone: 1.1570 – 1.1580 Stop Loss: 1.1545 Take Profit 1: 1.1620 Take Profit 2: 1.1650 The bullish view remains valid while price holds above 1.1570.

GBPUSD Buy Zone Retest Before Continuation Higher Fundamental Analysis GBPUSD is trading in a short-term recovery structure as traders continue to watch U.S. dollar momentum, U.K. data, and central bank expectations. After the previous bearish phase, price is now showing signs of a bullish reaction from the lower structure. If buyers can defend the retest zone, GBPUSD may continue its recovery toward the next resistance levels. Technical Analysis On the 1H chart, GBPUSD has broken out from the short-term descending structure and is now trading above the EMA cluster. EMA 34, EMA 89, and EMA 200 are starting to act more like support instead of resistance. The key area on the chart is the buy zone around 1.3378 - 1.3385. This zone was previously a resistance area and may now become support if price retests it successfully. Current price is around 1.3402, slightly above the buy zone. A controlled pullback into 1.3378 - 1.3385 followed by bullish rejection would create a cleaner buy setup. The first upside resistance is around 1.3433. If buyers break this level, the next major target is the strong resistance zone around 1.3483 - 1.3485. Important Key Levels Current price area: 1.3402 Buy zone retest: 1.3378 - 1.3385 Short-term invalidation: below 1.3364 Nearest resistance: 1.3433 Strong resistance: 1.3483 - 1.3485 EMA support area: 1.3385 - 1.3400 Trading Scenario Main Buy Scenario Entry: 1.3378 - 1.3385 Stop Loss: 1.3364 Take Profit 1: 1.3433 Take Profit 2: 1.3483 Take Profit 3: 1.3485 Buy Condition The preferred setup is to wait for GBPUSD to retest the 1.3378 - 1.3385 buy zone. This area is important because it aligns with the breakout retest structure and the EMA support zone. A buy setup becomes more valid if price forms bullish rejection from this zone, such as a long lower wick, bullish engulfing candle, higher low formation, or a clean reclaim back above 1.3400. If price holds above the buy zone and breaks 1.3433, the recovery scenario may extend toward the strong resistance zone at 1.3483 - 1.3485. Alternative Sell Scenario Entry: 1.3433 - 1.3483 Stop Loss: 1.3500 Take Profit 1: 1.3400 Take Profit 2: 1.3385 Take Profit 3: 1.3364 Sell Condition This is not the main view. A sell setup should only be considered if GBPUSD reaches resistance and shows strong bearish rejection. If price fails to break above 1.3433 or rejects from 1.3483 - 1.3485, sellers may create a short-term pullback back toward the buy zone. Entry Conditions Wait for price to retest 1.3378 - 1.3385. Look for bullish confirmation before entering buy. A hold above 1.3400 strengthens the recovery view. If price breaks below 1.3364, the buy setup is invalid. Watch for reaction at 1.3433 and 1.3483 - 1.3485. Overall, the main view is that GBPUSD may continue higher if the 1.3378 - 1.3385 buy zone holds. A confirmed reaction from this area may support a move toward 1.3433 first, then 1.3483 - 1.3485. Do you share the same bullish view on GBPUSD, or are you waiting for a cleaner retest of the buy zone first?

11/06/2026 EUR/USD AnalysisFOREXCOM:EURUSD This is my analysis for EUR/USD. A minor sell-side liquidity sweep has already occurred, but a larger pool of sell-side liquidity still remains below. Before that liquidity can be targeted, I believe a buy-side liquidity sweep is needed first. Given today's bullish order flow, EUR/USD could react from its 1H FVG, push higher to sweep the buy-side liquidity, and then reverse to target the remaining sell-side liquidity However, if that 1H FVG becomes an iFVG, the narrative will change. In that case, EUR/USD could use the 1H iFVG as support and still move lower to sweep the remaining sell-side liquidity.

Euro Locked in 1.1550 Range Ahead of ECB Rate DecisionThe euro is struggling to move away from its two-month low near 1.1500, caught between the technical upside ahead of tonight's European Central Bank (ECB) announcement and the strength of the US dollar (USD) as an absolute safety net due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ✅ Fundamental Dynamics: ECB Interest Rate Bets Against US Inflation Explosion The foreign exchange market is holding its breath ahead of two major catalysts due to be released almost simultaneously tonight: - ⚡ECB Judgment Day (25 basis point hike already priced in): The ECB will conclude its two-day policy meeting tonight. The market has already locked in a 25 basis point (bp) interest rate hike. The main focus of major institutions is purely on President Christine Lagarde's press conference. - ⚡If the ECB shows hesitation or a lack of commitment to further monetary tightening due to the risk of a war recession, the market will interpret this as a dovish signal that could trigger a massive sell-off in the euro. - ⚡US Inflation Monster (CPI 4.2%): Last night's US CPI data confirmed that headline inflation jumped to 4.2% YoY—the highest level in three years due to a 23.5% surge in upstream energy costs. This figure, which is more than double the Federal Reserve's (The Fed) target, reinforces projections that US interest rates will creep up by the end of 2026. - ⚡Physical Blockade in the Strait of Hormuz: Military tensions reached a critical level after Iran officially closed the Strait of Hormuz following a series of airstrikes ordered by President Donald Trump. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed it had shot down two commercial vessels attempting to cross the waterway. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ✅ Technical Analysis: Bearish Structure Shadows Psychological Support Area (H4) Technically, the EUR/USD intraday (4-Hour) chart shows a neutral-defensive consolidation phase where the medium-term downtrend remains in full control of the market: - ⚡H4 RSI (Below 50): Shows very weak buying pressure (bullish impulse), confirming that the current slight increase is merely a retail short-term position adjustment (position squaring). - ⚡Obstacle: Euro bulls face a strong barrier at 1.1580 (former strong support in May). As long as this level is not broken cleanly by the close of tonight's H4 candle, EUR/USD remains vulnerable to a price rejection (fading rally).

GBPUSD (Cable) – Weekly Structural AnalysisStructural Observation GBPUSD remains in a recovery structure following the major base formation that emerged during 2022. Since that low, price has gradually rebuilt participation and currently trades above the Structural Pivot Zone. The broader long-term decline from historical highs remains a relevant backdrop, but the post-2022 recovery framework continues to hold while price remains above the pivot region. Behaviour Observation Current market behaviour reflects rotation above the Structural Pivot Zone rather than directional expansion. Price is positioned between the Structural Pivot Zone and the Resistance Zone, indicating that recovery participation remains active, though major overhead resistance has yet to be challenged successfully. Active Zones 🟥 Resistance Zone: 1.38790 – 1.43110 🟦 Structural Pivot Zone: 1.28800 – 1.31200 🟩 Structural Support Zone: 1.19000 – 1.24000 🟪 Deep Structural Support Zone: 1.13000 – 1.16000 🟣 Extreme Historical Support Zone: 1.03460 – 1.04780 Possible Pathways Bullish Pathway: Acceptance above the Resistance Zone would indicate strengthening participation and support a broader structural transition. Neutral Pathway: Continued rotation between the Structural Pivot Zone and the Resistance Zone would maintain the current recovery framework. Weakness Pathway: Loss of the Structural Pivot Zone would shift attention toward the Structural Support Zone, while further weakness would increase the importance of the Deep Structural Support Zone. Educational Layer Recovery structures and trend reversals are not the same thing. Markets can remain constructive for extended periods while still operating beneath major historical resistance. Understanding location within structure often provides more value than predicting direction. Neutrality Layer Above the Structural Pivot Zone, the recovery framework remains intact. As always, multiple outcomes remain possible until price validates one path over another.

GBP/JPY Hits Weekly High as Japan PPI SurgeGBP/JPY fluctuated but managed to record gains for three consecutive days. After briefly dropping to a daily low in the 214.25-214.30 range, the pair rebounded to a new weekly high of 214.70 in the first half of the European session. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ✅ Fundamental Dynamics: Tokyo PPI Explosion vs. Gulf Military Incident The direction of the GBP/JPY cross today is driven by the clash of upstream macro indicators and war tensions: - ⚡Japan PPI Inflation Explosion (Fastest Pace in 3 Years): The Japanese yen gained solid fundamental strength after official data showed the Japanese Producer Price Index (PPI) for May surged sharply at the fastest pace in more than three years. - ⚡MoF Intervention Fears: On the other hand, speculation of covert physical intervention by the Japanese Ministry of Finance (MoF) continues to loom large over the market, especially after last week's data revealed a USD 77 billion decline in foreign exchange reserves. - ⚡USD Weakness Benefits Sterling: The pound benefited daily from a moderate pullback in the US Dollar Index (DXY) ahead of tonight's CPI data release. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ✅ Technical Analysis: Testing the Weekly Supply Wall Area (H4) Technically, GBP/JPY's recovery to the 214.70 range reflects the dominance of daily momentum buyers, but the price is now in an intraday overbought zone prone to price rejection. - ⚡Lack of Bullish Conviction: Today's gain of less than 1.10% indicates that the market is moving on thin volume. Institutional market participants are reluctant to push the price above the psychological level of 215.00 before the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) results are released at 7:30 PM WIB tonight. - ⚡Technical Structure: The 4-Hour (H4) chart indicates that as long as GBP/JPY is unable to close the daily candle above the 214.95 area, this upward structure is vulnerable to mass profit-taking and a reversal towards the daily support level at 214.25.

USDJPY Bulls Eye 161.30 After Strong UptrendUSDJPY continues to attract buying interest as traders favour the US Dollar against the Japanese Yen. Strong US economic data and reduced expectations for Fed rate cuts have helped maintain bullish sentiment across the pair. At the same time, the Bank of Japan has shown little urgency to tighten policy aggressively, keeping yield differentials supportive for further upside in USDJPY. Price is now approaching a key resistance zone around 160.50–160.60. A breakout from this area could trigger another bullish extension. Trade Setup: Buy Zone: 160.05 – 160.25 Stop Loss: 159.50 Take Profit 1: 160.60 Take Profit 2: 160.90 Take Profit 3: 161.30 The bullish outlook remains valid while price holds above the 160.00 psychological level and the H4 moving averages continue to trend higher.

USD/JPY: Holding Tough Above 160.00USD/JPY demonstrated remarkable resilience in Tuesday's trading. Despite struggling to build on its strong upward momentum after reaching its highest level since April 30th the previous day, the spot price held firmly above the psychological level of 160.00. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ✅ Fundamental Dynamics: The Katayama Threat vs. Japan's Structural Vulnerability The USD/JPY's direction today was driven by the intense clash between verbal central bank intervention and the reality of the energy commodity crisis: - ⚡USD Retreat Trigger (Trump Ceasefire): The US Dollar Index (DXY) moved away from its two-month high after Iran and Israel officially confirmed a halt to their tit-for-tat airstrikes at the direct request of President Donald Trump. - ⚡Katayama Fortress & Shrinking Foreign Exchange Reserves: USD/JPY bulls' room above 160.00 was limited by the shadow of physical intervention by the Japanese Ministry of Finance (MoF). Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama reiterated today that Tokyo authorities remain on full alert and ready to take decisive action in the foreign exchange market. - ⚡Why Are JPY Buyers Hesitant? (Effects of the Strait of Hormuz Blockade): Investors are deeply concerned that the Japanese economy, which relies 90% on crude oil imports, will remain under pressure due to the disruption of commercial energy logistics routes in the Strait of Hormuz. This risk of domestic stagflation effectively cripples the Yen's appeal. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ✅ Technical Analysis: Consolidating Strength in the MoF Danger Zone - ⚡From a technical perspective, USD/JPY's success in maintaining a price floor above 160.00 amidst global dollar weakness proves that the medium-term bullish trend remains very dominant. - ⚡Trend Validation: As long as USD/JPY does not fall and close below 159.50, it is premature to conclude that the currency pair has formed a short-term top.

GBP/CHF Attempts to Rise Towards Nearest ResistanceOn the 4-hour timeframe, GBPCHF is showing signs of a shift in momentum, with buyers attempting to take control of the market. - ⚡Market Structure: The short- to medium-term trend is shifting towards a bullish accumulation phase. The price has successfully broken the previous downward structure by forming a Higher Low (HL) below, and is currently moving upward, testing the upper limit of the structure. - ⚡Price Action: Around the current price (1.06474), the price is moving quite impulsively, dominated by healthy bullish candles. However, this movement is starting to hit the nearest Major Supply Zone (grey box above) in the 1.06600-1.06900 range. A thin upper wick is beginning to appear, indicating initial resistance from sellers in this premium area. --------------------------------------------------------------- Key Zones: - ⚡Resistance/Supply: 1.06700 - 1.07000 (Main line of defense for sellers and determining the continuation of the breakout). - ⚡Support/Demand: 1.05600 - 1.05900 (Strong demand zone that served as the initial foothold for the last upward impulse). --------------------------------------------------------------- ✅ Elliott Wave Analysis If we map this movement based on the Elliott wave cycle on the H4 timeframe: - ⚡Wave Structure: The sharp recovery from the lowest price level appears to be the completion of a major corrective phase, and the market is now projected to begin a new impulsive upward cycle (Wave 1 or the beginning of a micro Wave 3). - ⚡Current Status: Given that the price of 1.06474 is very close to the Supply resistance ceiling, this upward impulse will likely soon reach its short-term saturation point. In theory, the market will require an internal corrective wave phase (a "breathing" or pullback phase) to balance the order book before gathering new strength. - ⚡Projection: Potential for a healthy short-term downward correction to test the Support Become Resistance (SBR) area below before readying for further upward expansion. ------------------------------------------------------------------- The main bias for GBPCHF on the H4 timeframe is bullish. However, tactically, for the next few candles, the next price movement is projected to move downward first (correction/pullback) towards the 1.05950-1.06150 area before eventually bouncing back to resume its uptrend.
