In today’s trading room, we scanned the markets and found a slightly strong bias on USD.

Major pairs like GBP/USD, AUD/USD, and EUR/USD show some strong movements to the downside.

We review a trade from last week on GOLD and CHF, both profitable.

In today’s trading room, we analyzed the current trends in Gold and the US Indices during our discussion. It was observed that Gold has recently experienced an overextension and has been unable to establish a new high. As a result, it is anticipated that Gold will continue to decline in the coming weeks.

The US stock market is expected to demonstrate limited movement throughout the remainder of 2023. The market has been characterized by a range-bound behavior, primarily due to prevailing uncertainty.

In terms of the EURUSD currency pair, it is currently trading within the standard range observed in recent years.
Furthermore, Ruben executed a short scalp trade on the SP500 at market opening.

Despite the limited market activity during Memorial Day, we have taken the opportunity to formulate a forecast for the upcoming week. The US indices have experienced an upward trend primarily driven by the growing influence of artificial intelligence (AI). As a result, the market anticipates a promising future and expects enhanced efficiency for companies leveraging these emerging technologies. However, from a technical standpoint, certain weaknesses are evident in the market, which could potentially create selling opportunities throughout the week.

Turning our attention to the EURUSD currency pair, the price has arrived at a significant key zone, indicating the potential for an upward push following an extended bearish trend observed over the past few weeks.

Lastly, the gold market presents favorable buying prospects as it currently resides within a demand zone. This provides an attractive opportunity for investors seeking to enter the market.

In summary, based on our analysis, the US indices exhibit signs of weakness, while the EURUSD pair shows the potential for an upward movement, and Gold indicates favorable buying opportunities within the current demand zone.

How to Read The Chart Using The VX and Different Time Frames

In today’s trading room, we analyzed the major indices (Nasdaq and S&P) and created Short and Long scenarios for trading USD/JPY, JPY/CAD, and EUR/CHF.

We learn how to build a position correctly so you stay within your risk parameters and how to work with a few time frames to find hidden support/resistance and understand when price action shifts its momentum.

This is a must-see lesson.

In today’s trading room, we analyzed the major indices (Nasdaq and S&P) and major currencies.

Following a recent event in Russia involving the Wagner group’s advance towards Moscow, there were discussions between the group and President Putin, resulting in their decision to retreat. Despite this development, the financial market and its overall trajectory remain unaffected.

However, the EURUSD currency pair continues to exhibit an upward trend, following a minor retracement observed last week.

Moreover, Ruben has identified a compelling opportunity in price spreads among US indices. While the SP500 and NAS100 have recently displayed significant upward movements, the US30 has struggled to break its all-time high. Consequently, taking a short position on SP500/NAS100 and simultaneously buying NAS100 offers the potential for capitalizing on price discrepancies.

It is worth noting that similar to trading the Gold/Silver ratio, these strategies can serve as effective hedging techniques for portfolios and represent sound trading strategies.

In today’s trading room, we analyzed the major currencies and major indices (Nasdaq and S&P).

The overall context and AI that drives the companies’ efficiency are still present. This pushes indices up and confirms the risk-on environment that starts to be installed.

With tomorrow being the 4th of July, a national holiday in the United States, the market is expected to remain relatively calm today and exhibit lower volatility tomorrow, especially in the markets that remain open. This presents an excellent opportunity to gain insights into the implications of this temporary respite and how it affects investment decisions.

Moreover, we explore the movement of the Japanese yen (JPY) and identify it as one of the most promising opportunities in the financial landscape. Drawing parallels to significant historical events such as the 2008 and 2015 extreme levels in GBPJPY and EURJPY, we discuss how the current market conditions could potentially position the JPY movement as an unprecedented opportunity for investors.

In today’s session, we established a new bearish bias for USD as inflation in the US is expected to come lower; thus, demand for USD will not increase.

We found selling opportunities in GBP/JPY and USD/CAD.

GBP/JPY setup is a divergence setup that can easily be seen on the Daily Chart, approaching a strong and old supply from years ago.

In today’s session, Alexander and Ruben delve into the recent movements of the Dollar Index and uncover an intriguing trading opportunity. Following a notable decline in the Dollar’s value, their analysis suggests a potential short-term rebound.

They examine the daily and monthly charts of the USDCHF currency pair, unearthing a promising market scenario with room for an upward trajectory. However, Ruben seizes upon a short scalp opportunity in USDCHF, making a calculated decision to open a position.

:boom:Interest Rate Decision and Crypto Anticipation

In today’s trading room, we delve into three key areas shaping the current financial landscape.

Firstly, we discuss the potential monthly rebound of the CHF (Swiss Franc) and its implications for traders and investors. The CHF’s performance has been a subject of interest, and we are exploring whether a possible turnaround is on the horizon.

Next, we examine the relentless push of US indices towards All-Time Highs while anticipating the highly awaited FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) interest rate decision. As the forecast predicts a 0.25 rate hike, we analyze the potential surprises in the market amid a strengthening economy.

Lastly, we shift our focus to cryptocurrency, where prominent assets such as BTC (Bitcoin) and ETH (Ethereum) have remained locked in a trading range for an entire month. With anticipation building up, we assess the crucial factors that could trigger the next significant movement in the crypto market.
