USD/CHF remains under pressure after a sustained downtrend and is currently consolidating within a potential bearish flag pattern.

Bitcoin remains in a strong uptrend, consolidating just below the $120,000 level after a powerful breakout from the $112K zone earlier this month.

Most recently, it was the top of that gap at 198.08 holding support on both Monday and Wednesday of last week - allowing for a flare up to just 2.5 pips away from the 200 psychological level. Bulls have...
USD/JPY continues to brew traps on both sides of the pair as last week's push up to fresh three-month highs has been followed by a decisive snap back in the pair.

So...
The trendline that originated in 2001 and connected to the 2020 high came in to hold the lows in July of 2023, and then again on Easter Monday. That level also held as support in June albeit temporarily, as bears grinded a sell-off into the Q2 close. In early-Q3 trade, that trendline was resistance on a few different occasions, until buyers could eventually take...
EUR/USD bears had an open door to make a run last week and, so far, they've failed. The Wednesday turn around Trump's threat to fire Jerome Powell certainly made a mark, but the question now is whether the USD can respond to support at a longer-term trendline; and, in turn, EUR/USD is now testing in the zone between 76.4 and 78.6% Fibonacci retracements of the...

The GBP/JPY pair has gained over 0.5% today in favor of the British pound, as the Japanese yen continues to weaken steadily. The recent escalation in the trade war, where potential 25% tariffs may begin to affect Japan in the short term, has contributed to the yen’s steady decline. For now, this remains one of the main catalysts behind the price movement, which is...
