Hello world, how are you today? It seems that the escalation of the war is continuing, and Iran and Israel are attacking each other. Could this be the predicted Armageddon war?

Back to my trading journal today, write down again some words all about forex trading activity with all risks and gains.

Independence traders have free time and no pressure from supervisors, they can trade anytime and anywhere. However, the risk of being an independence trader is high risk market volatility and no fixed earnings. All results depend on the trading performance, it could be high profit or even loss money.

Recently, the war between Israel and Iran has been tense, after Israel attacked Iran’s nuclear facilities, only about 14 hours later Iran retaliated and targeted Tel Aviv, Large-scale wars can continue because Iran rejects a ceasefire. They are not even afraid of American threats.

In situations of high geopolitical risk conflict, gold should be supported as a safe-haven asset. In fact, gold has actually corrected in the range of 3389 after breaking the upper band in the range of 3403. Maybe the impact is in the long term.

Tomorrow the Fed will release an interest rate announcement, expected to remain unchanged. Higher interest rates may be good for gold.

On the other hand, Bitcoin prices fell around $104K, moving down near the lower band. While WTI oil rose around 73.63 amid the Iran-Israel conflict.

Hello world, how are you today? The cold air pierces my skin, maybe this is the beginning of the change of season.

Back to my trading journal today, write again somes words all about forex trading activity with all risks and gains involved.

The trading position on gold is currently floating in a loss, the Middle East conflict that is heating up due to the Israel-Iran war does not seem strong enough to bring gold higher. Maybe investors think the price is too high and need to be careful because a reversal can occur before the price continues the main trend later. Gold is now trading in the range of 3379 and sideways in the previous range.

In the Crypto market, the price of Bitcoin is still under pressure, BTCUSD is now pointing to the $104k level moving narrowly in the Bollinger band on the hourly timeframe. The Fear and Greed Index is now pointing to the level of 48, this is lower than before at the level of 50. This means that investors tend to be neutral at this time.

In the oil market, the war turmoil has caused price volatility to increase. WTI is now trading at the level of 73.00 and forming a flag pattern.

Hello world, how are you today? The air is a bit cold, piercing my skin. It didn’t rain anymore yesterday. Some farmers have started planting rice in the fields.

Back to my trading journal today, write down some words all about the ins and outs of forex trading activity with all risks and gains involved.

What happened in the market today? Gold prices are hovering around 3366 near the middle band line. The Iran-Israel conflict seems to be weighing on gold because the USD has strengthened slightly as seen from the DXY which had risen to 99.00

It seems that investors are still holding back and waiting for further changes, if the US enters the Iran war conflict, the financial market may be affected. The war in the Middle East has also brought oil prices up to around 73.67 since Iran’s attack on Israel and vice versa.

In the crypto market, Bitcoin is steady at around $104k in three consecutive days, the market is still waiting and seeing at support near the MA 50. The Fear and Greed index by Coinmarketcap shows level 48, still the same as the previous day, indicating the index is on a neutral path.

Hello world, how are you today? It seems that you are not well, and there is a threat of a great war on the beautiful Earth. Hopefully, all are under the protection of God Almighty.

Back to my trading journal today, write again about all trading activity in the forex market with all risks and gains involved. Making money from forex trading is full of uncertainty. Maintaining a status of always being profitable is not easy. Even traders can experience consecutive failures due to dynamic market volatility.

Login to my account today, surprised by Bitcoin dropping and dragging the price to touch my stop loss. It seems that the US attack on three Iranian nuclear sites has caused a shock to the financial market. Bitcoin plunged after the attack to $98k, investors may avoid risky assets amid increasing tensions in the Middle East region.

Meanwhile, different conditions are seen in gold. Today, gold opened with a gap up, and the opening price was far above Friday’s close. It seems that this was also influenced by the US attack on Iran’s nuclear site, which triggered a prolonged conflict and global economic uncertainty, threatened by Donald Trump’s actions.

WTI oil prices also jumped due to the impact of the Iran-Israel war, plus the US intervention that attacked Iran. WTI opened with a gap up where the opening price was much higher than Friday’s close. WTI is now in the range of 75.31 up with a wide gap from Friday’s close of 73.78.

Hello world, how are you today? The air is a bit cold around me, and it didn’t rain yesterday.

Tuesday, back to my trading journal, write again some words about all my trading activity in the forex market with profit and loss involved.

The market is moving dynamically, and what is expected is sometimes not like reality. Yesterday I opened a buy on gold because increasing tensions in the Middle East due to the US attacking Iran’s nuclear site, could trigger WW3, but gold fell and hit my stop loss. Gold is now in the range of 3355, moving near the middle band channel. Escalation of war may occur, but gold is still stable, maybe China has not increased its gold reserves so the price tends to be flat.

On the other hand, Bitcoin, trying to rise after falling to a low of $104k, now gold has now risen to the range of $105k near the middle band line. Although the price of BTC is rising, it is moving more in the market range. Coinmarketcap’s fear and greed index points to level 37, where this is the fear level; the market is still wary of economic uncertainty amidst geopolitical risks that may spread.

Oil prices, WTI now drop to 64.35, it seems that the war between Iran and Israel and the US has an impact on oil prices. After rising high at 76.93, the narrative of change occurred and oil dropped to a low of 64.29. Iran threatens to close the Strait of Hormuz, which is a strategic route for global oil distribution by 20%.

Hello, world. How are you today? I hope you are fine. The air is a bit cold around me, and it hasn’t rained yet.

Back to my trading journal on Thursday, I will write down some words about the ins and outs of forex trading activity, including all the risks and gains involved. Loss is sometimes inevitable, despite my hope for profit always.

The temporary Iran Israel ceasefire has had an impact on market normalization, gold prices are trying to recover from two days of losses, and are now up in the range of 3335. Gold prices may still face challenges because the Chinese economy has not fully recovered.

The ceasefire may still be vulnerable to breaking. Iran seems unwilling to submit to Israel and will continue its nuclear program after being bombed by the US.

Meanwhile, oil prices also corrected in the range of 64.73 after a long decline of two days, following the ceasefire eased tensions. US supplies seem to be tightening in the summer, while OPEC+ can increase supplies which allows the decline to still be vulnerable.

In the crypto market, Bitcoin prices are moving near the upper band in the range of $ 107k, BTCUSD has increased for three consecutive days by drawing bullish candles. The Fear and Greed Index now points to a value of 48, which means the market is in a neutral condition.

[Ifx78]

Hello world, how are you today? Hopefully, everything is fine, safe, and peaceful throughout the universe.

Back to my trading journal today, write again some words all about forex trading activity with all risks and gains involved.

There is a floating position on gold; the hope of gold extending its increase seems to be held back by the fact that the price of gold is still moving in the market range. Although the US dollar weakened yesterday, it seems that demand for gold has not increased significantly, perhaps because the Chinese economy has not fully recovered. The price of gold is now in the range of 3322, still above the psychological level of 3300. Yesterday’s US economic data was rather bad, GDP contracted negatively by 5, although unemployment claims decreased.

In the crypto market, Bitcoin is still steady in the range of $ 106k near the upper band line, the weakening increase allows a reversal in the short term. The Fear and Greed index shows a level of 50 according to Coinmarketcap, indicating that the market is on a neutral track.

WTI oil prices are steady around the 64 level price, prices have been stable for two days after a sharp decline following the Iran-Israel ceasefire.

[Ifx78]

Hello world, how are you today? It’s a bit cloudy around me, and the air is quite cold, piercing my skin.

Monday, back to my trading journal, making notes about forex trading activities that involve risk.

Today, looking at the USDCHF pair, there is one floating position in this pair. It is expected that the Swiss Franc will still strengthen amidst the weakening USD.

What is quite disturbing is the price of gold, last weekend gold fell again, crossing the lower band to 3256, and continued this Monday at a low of 3247. Maybe the weakening price of gold is because one of the factors is that China is still facing the challenge of economic recovery. Or it could be a fairly large profit-taking action after the increase in gold is estimated to be overvalued.

However, another reason is the geopolitical risk that has subsided after the Iran and Israel ceasefire, but this is still vulnerable because there is news that Israel will attack Iran to show that they are the country with the most formidable military power in the Middle East region. If this happens, the war may continue and be profitable for gold.

In the oil market, WTI fell slightly to 64.17 but is still moving steadily within the previous price range. Investors may still wait and see the latest news on the ceasefire.

In the crypto market, Bitcoin rose slightly to around $108k near the upper band line. If the price breaks the upper band, there is a possibility that the price will continue to rise higher, the Fear and Greed index by Coinmarketcap is now pointing at 50 which means the market is in a neutral position.

[Ifx78]

Hello world, how are you today? Hopefully fine and full of happiness. The air is a bit cold, no rain.

Back to my trading journal today, write down some words all about forex trading activity with all risks and gains involved.

The currency in the spotlight today is EURUSD; this pair tends to be bullish, which reflects the EURO strengthening against the USD. Perhaps Trump’s policy regarding tariffs has caused investor distrust, which has caused the USD to weaken since January 2025.

Perhaps more funds are flowing into the European zone than into America, which is experiencing an outflow. Trying to open a buy with this argument, that the Fed will also not raise interest rates, and will even cut interest rates this year. While the ECB seems to still stick with the current interest rate.

Yesterday’s gold price tried to rise in the range of 3310 with a bullish candle, but the price still formed a lower high allowing gold to still fall.

The crypto market, Bitcoin is stable in the range of $ 107k moving between the upper and middle bollinger bands.

In the oil market, WTI steadied around 64.24 following the Iran-Israel ceasefire…

There is a floating position on gold, which is currently at 3338, yesterday the release of US job data and ISM manufacturing was higher than expected, good for the USD, if the influence continues, gold may fall.

Today we are also waiting for the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change data which is expected to be higher than before.

In the crypto market, the price of Bitcoin is still depressed to the $106k price level forming a bearish candle.

Elsewhere, the price of WTI oil remains steady at around $ 64. Low market volatility reflects the balance between demand and supply, as reflected in the trading volume.

[Ifx78]

Hello world, how are you today? Is it possible that the universe is approaching the end of the world? War between nations. Chaos everywhere, human morals are increasingly chaotic, and genocide. The wrong is right, the right is wrong. The country is led by someone other than an expert. Many signs of the end of the world have appeared, although most people do not know them.

Back to my trading journal today, write some words about my activity in the forex trading platform FXOpen with all risks and gains involved.

The trading position on gold is still floating; it is expected that gold will extend its increase this week ahead of the release of NFP data and several other high-impact news releases by the US.

The price of gold is now in the range of 3352 with a bearish candle on the hourly timeframe. The increase in gold weakened yesterday as the USD strengthened slightly.

In the crypto market. Bitcoin is trading in the range of $ 108k, approaching the upper band line which is the resistance of the latest flat Bollinger band patterns.

In the oil market, WTI rose, drawing a bullish candle and reaching a high of 66.80 after being stuck in a range of 64 previously.

Hello world, how are you today? The air is a bit cloudy around me, and the sunlight is covered by thin black clouds blocking its rays.

Back to my trading journal today, write down some words all about the ins and outs of forex trading activity with all the risks and gains involved.

Today is a Bank Holiday in the US to commemorate Independence Day. It may reduce the volume of USD transactions, but the market is sometimes unique, and often unexpected movements occur.

Today’s gold price is around 3330, steady on the hourly timeframe. The gold buy order hit stop loss because the price suddenly fell after US economic data supported the strengthening of the USD. There is no high-impact news to be released today.

Meanwhile, in the crypto market, Bitcoin remains on track near the upper band in the range of $ 109k, slightly up from before. If it manages to break the upper band, Bitcoin is predicted to rise higher. The current fear and greed index level is pointing at 55, although at a neutral level, investor confidence is starting to grow from the previous 49.

In the oil market, WTI is now trading at 66.23, slightly down from the high of 66.80 recorded on July 2.

The floating position on the USDCHF pair is still left open without hitting the stop loss or profit target.

[Ifx78]

Hello world, how are you today? The sun is still shy to show its face, and thin clouds are covering its rays.

Back to my trading journal today, Monday in the second week of July. Still writing some words all my trading activity in the forex market with all risks and gains involved.

I see, forex trading is not a holy grail, no instant success in this field, so here I just follow the main rules of investing money in high risk business including forex, just spent money that affords to lose. My initial target is of course to reach the break even point before compound profit. This is my unwritten rules in my habit on trading.

Today Login account successfully, the price of gold is still steady near the middle band in the range of 3327. The market still tends to be flat or sideways. Slightly different from Silver which rose to 37,219 pullback at 36,990. Here I try my luck with the reason, increasing demand and supply deficit due to global demand from the EV industry, solar panels, electronics and others.

Meanwhile in the crypto market, Bitcoin price is around $109k near the upper band line. The flat Bollinger band reflects the movement in the range.

In the oil market, WTI gapped down at the beginning of the market opening, the price dropped with a wide gap opening at 64.04 with a close on Friday of 65.66.

Hello world, how are you today? It rained yesterday but only briefly, with low intensity around my land.

Back to my trading journal today, write down again some words about my trading activity in the forex market with the FXOpen platform.

Experiencing consecutive losses can indeed cause emotions to be slightly disturbed and down. And this is a forex fact that does not always provide profit from every trading action. The market experiences structural changes that traders sometimes never realize before. Or traders realize the small changes but don’t care about them.

Today, seeing the price of gold in the range of 3334 steady near the middle band line, the price of gold had dropped to a low of 3296 after yesterday’s deadline rate. However, it seems to only affect temporarily, the price of gold rose again at the starting point.

In the crypto market, the price of Bitcoin is also steady in the range of $ 108k moving between flat bollinger bands with the distance between the upper and lower bands tending to be flat reflecting movement in the range. The Fear and Greed Index currently shows a level of 52 which means neutral, investors tend to wait and see.

The WTI oil market is quite volatile. Yesterday it rose, drawing a long-bodied bullish candle engulfing the preceding candle in the range of 66.75.

[Ifx78]

Hello world, how are you today? It hasn’t rained, while other areas have reported flooding due to heavy rainfall.

Back to my trading journal today, write down some words about the ins and outs of forex trading, including all the risks and gains involved.

Forex trading doesn’t provide consistent results, but with persistence and patience, it can eventually yield the desired results. The journey isn’t always easy, but strong determination gives you the motivation to keep fighting. As long as you’re still breathing, it’s still worth trying.

The current gold price is at the crucial $3,300 mark, near the lower band. This may be a support price in this area, as the BB, which draws a flat channel, indicates a market trend within a trading range. However, on the H4 timeframe, the price is still consolidating near the lower band. Here, I’m trying to open a buy because the price is at the lower band, and the RSI has drawn an upward channel at level 38.

Trump’s tariffs, which continue to create uncertainty, are expected to further weaken the USD and boost demand for safe-haven assets, including gold.

In the crypto market, Bitcoin has been steady at around $108,000 above the middle band line throughout this week’s movement. The fear and greed index now stands at 50, slightly down from the previous 52, which still reflects a neutral market.

WTI oil prices are currently at 67.15 near the middle band line, hovering near the middle band line after a previous sharp rise.

[Ifx78]

Hello world, how are you today? It’s quite chilly around me today; it didn’t rain yesterday.

Back to my trading journal today, write again some words about my trading activity in the forex market using the FXOpen platform.

Successfully logged in to my account. Currently, the gold price is around 3318 near the middle band on the four-hour timeframe. I have one long position in gold that has been floating in unrealized profit. I hope the gold price continues to rise due to the uncertainty surrounding Trump’s tariffs, but the impact may be uncertain.

In the crypto market, the price of Bitcoin is also rising to around $111,000. I hope there will be positive sentiment for Bitcoin in trading this week.

Meanwhile, the price of WTI oil has been steady at around 67.21 for three days, moving within a narrow range.

[Ifx78]

Hello world, how are you today? The cold air pierces my skin, there’s no rain, and the rice fields are starting to dry out.

Back to my trading journal today, again to write down some words about all my trading activity at FXOpen, with all the risks and gains involved.

My gold trading position remains open, and I’m leaving it in the hope that the price will continue to rise. The gold price is currently around 3324, moving near the 50-day moving average (MA) on the hourly timeframe. The RSI shows a level of 56, still quite far from the overbought level on the hourly timeframe. The impact of Trump’s tariffs, which still creates uncertainty, is expected to further weaken the US dollar.

In the crypto market, Bitcoin broke the upper band and reached a new price of around $115, recording a new all-time high for 2025, providing positive hope for this year amidst supportive regulations.

Meanwhile, oil prices are under pressure again, hovering around 65.88, down from 67.64 previously. The decline in gold prices is likely due to declining demand amid stable supply.

[Ifx78]

Hello world, how are you on Monday? The air is a bit chilly, the sun’s rays are peeking over the horizon, shining through the leaves, and hitting the edge of the road.

Back to my trading journal today, write down some words all about forex trading, including all the ins and outs of risk and gain involved.

The market was quite surprising when I logged in to my account. Silver prices surged, even recording a new all-time high since 2014. This increase was likely triggered by demand for safe-haven assets amidst uncertainty about the impact of Trump’s tariffs disrupting global trade.

This is quite odd because at the same time, the dollar index rose in line with US economic data released last week. The rise in silver and gold may also have been driven by industrial demand, particularly for solar panels, electronics, and electric vehicles in China and India.

I’m still holding a floating profit on the gold I opened last week. In the crypto market, Bitcoin prices also rose along with increased institutional investor demand. Bitcoin is now around $119,000, having recorded a new all-time high.

Meanwhile, in the oil market, WTI remained at around 67.34 near the middle band line, with oil prices hovering in the 64-68 range over the past three weeks.

Hello world, how are you today? The air is a bit chilly around me, and the rain has stopped falling.

Back to my trading journal today, I’ll rewrite some words about my trading activity on the FXOpen platform, with all the risks and gains involved.

There’s no guarantee of always making a profit in forex trading, given the dynamic nature of the market. Currently, my gold position is still floating, even though the price seemed to have fallen last Monday. However, I’m simply trying to modify my stop-loss at least to the break-even point, hoping to weather the global trade uncertainty caused by the threat of US tariffs, which is causing market concern.

Gold may still be quite sensitive to today’s US economic data release, including inflation data or CPI, which could provide subtle hints about the Fed’s future policy direction.

Elsewhere, the price of Bitcoin has also experienced a correction, from its previous high of $123,000 to around $119,000 near the lower band on the hourly timeframe. Coinmarketcap’s Fear and Greed Index is currently at 70, indicating the market is entering a greedy phase.

In the oil market, the WTI price rose yesterday, breaking its high of 68.31, but suddenly dropped to around 65.72. It appears the oil market is also sensitive to Trump’s tariffs after the US opened negotiations with its partners, including Europe.

[Ifx78]

Hello world, how are you today? Although it was cloudy, but didn’t rain, the sky sometimes gives signs, but they aren’t always confirmed.

Back to my trading journal today, write again about my trading activity in the forex market with all the risks and gains involved.

Looking at the current trading position, gold appears to be declining and approaching the stop-loss level. The decline in gold was triggered by the strengthening of the USD due to inflation data that was in line with expectations, although still below the Fed’s target. Gold is currently around 3328, near the lower band on the H4 timeframe.

Meanwhile, in the crypto market, Bitcoin rose to around $117,000 after dropping to around $115,000. The Fear and Greed Index shows a level of 70 according to Coinmarketcap, indicating the market is entering a greed phase.

In the oil market, the WTI price remains steady at around 65.68, near the support level of 65.
