Structure
EURNZD shows signs for a continuation long.Price did finish the initial selloff into the start of the HTF 3-touch structure with a 1-2-3 move and started to aggressively reverse. We saw price turning bullish again and is now trading through an AoI and starting to form a consolidation. Price left a small Liq.P, which could act as a base, and if we see price stalling in this area and forming some kind of bull flag, that would be deliberate PA for a continuation to the upside, with the previous high as initial target.

MAGIC/ USDT: Retest is in progress, keep a watch on confirmationMAGIC / USDT has broken out from the Trendline resistance and retest is still in progress . However, the market conditions are not ideal right now.
Bullish scenario : If the price holds above the breakout level and the retest is confirmed, the next target could be 0.19–0.21.
Bearish scenario : A failure to maintain above the breakout level may lead to a drop back to 0.15 or 0.13.
Pro Tip: Use tight stop-losses below the breakout point. Wait for confirmation before committing larger positions. Keep an eye on BTC dominance
Interesting few days ahead... USD pairs approaching key levelsDXY is finishing a HTF consolidation and is approaching medium-term key areas. Other USD pairs are also in areas where they could aggressively turn around. EURUSD just finished a H4 3-touch continuation flag and is starting to stall on the 3rd touch, suggesting indecision in the markets.
Considering the news events in the next 3 days, starting today with USD advanced GDP data, we could see volatility kicking in on these key levels. We do need a catalyst to push price into a larger directional move, and we are prime positioned for the next leg. Technically, a breakout in both directions would make sense in these areas. Time to set alarms and be vigilant but not jump into trades too early, considering NFP on Friday as well.

NASDAQ| Bullish Bias - Refined OB Near MitigationPair: NASDAQ (NAS100)
Bias: Bullish
HTF Overview (4H):
Strong bullish structure has been the narrative, and last week’s upside intent confirmed the move. Current action suggests price is preparing for continuation after brief consolidation.
LTF Confirmation (30M):
Structure has been refined with a key OB in play. Price is approaching mitigation, and I’ve been tracking this level closely since last week.
Entry Zone: Waiting for clear 5M shift after OB mitigation. 5M OB already tapped — now I’m watching for confirmation to execute.
Targets: 5M highs first, 30M highs if price maintains momentum
Mindset Note: Focused and flowing. No forcing — I’ve tracked this from HTF to LTF and now I’m just waiting for price to invite me in. Clarity + patience = execution.
GBPUSD | Bullish Bias - Midframe Alignment After SSL SweepPair: GBPUSD
Bias: Bullish
HTF Overview (4H):
Price structure is clearly bullish with strong intent. Looking to ride momentum as price continues toward 30M and 4H highs.
LTF Confirmation (30M):
Structure has been refined. Price swept sell-side liquidity and cleanly mitigated a key 30M OB — now I’m monitoring for LTF alignment to catch the continuation.
Entry Zone: Waiting for 5M CHoCH to flip bullish. Entry comes on the pullback into demand once the shift confirms.
Targets: 5M highs, 30M highs — trailing based on delivery and momentum
Mindset Note: No emotion, no forcing. Waiting for alignment from Smart Money and letting price invite me in. Clarity leads, execution follows.
EURUSD| Bullish Bias - Refined OB Play into ContinuationPair: EURUSD
Bias: Bullish
HTF Overview (4H):
Bullish structure remains intact — recent break to the upside was followed by a healthy pullback. Now price is continuing the push toward external 4H highs.
LTF Confirmation (30M):
Structure refined from last week. Price recently mitigated a 30M demand OB and is now showing signs of continuation. Watching for clean 5M shift to confirm the next leg.
Entry Zone: 5M CHoCH flip followed by pullback into demand zone
Targets: 30M highs, then extended target at 4H highs
Mindset Note: Keeping it clean and reactive. No guessing — I’m tracking Smart Money flow, structure shift, and waiting on my cue.
GBPJPY| Bullish Bias - Range Play Before The SweepPair: GBPJPY
Bias: Bullish
HTF Overview (4H):
Structure remains bullish, but price is currently sitting inside a tight top-of-range formation. No clear breakout yet — still waiting on a deeper sell-side liquidity sweep to fuel the next leg. Until then, the focus is on how price dances within mid-range liquidity.
LTF Confirmation (30M):
Still watching for a clean sweep of previous internal lows from last week. 30M OB is refined and marked — once it’s mitigated, I’ll wait for LTF confirmation.
Entry Zone: Will monitor for 5M shift and intent after OB mitigation.
Targets: Initial target = 5M highs; extended = 30M highs depending on price delivery.
Mindset Note: Sitting on hands until Smart Money shows its hand. No rushing range plays. Patience = precision.
XAUUSD | Bullish - Deep Liquidity Grab + OB MitigationPair: XAUUSD
Bias: Bullish
HTF Overview (4H):
Structure remains bullish, with continuation expected toward prior 4H highs. Last week’s strong bullish intent signaled Smart Money’s directional commitment. Price reached deeper to seek liquidity beneath major sell-side lows, setting the stage.
LTF Confirmation (30M):
Price cleanly mitigated a 30M order block resting just under the swept liquidity. This reinforces the bias, and I’ll now be watching for LTF confirmations once the market opens.
Entry Zone: Within or just above the 30M OB
Targets: 5M and 30M internal highs. Trailing targets will depend on how price delivers.
Mindset Note: Patience is key here. I’m waiting for clean confirmation before executing — no rush. The story is written. I just need the trigger.
GBPCAD a short-term long trade into a HTF short area.GBPCAD presents a potential LTF long trade into a HTF short area. I am overall still bearish biased, but considering we have gaps to the top of the structure we might get an opportunity for a short-term counter long trade to finish the consolidation before we see the next bigger move to the downside.

AUDUSD looks promising for a continuationThis pair presents a potential trade opportunity in the form of a short continuation. The price did reach a significant Area of Interest (AoI) in form of an expanding 3-touch structure before turning around. Price did close outside the structure on the H4 with a candlestick reversal pattern and printed a bearish high-test candle on the daily timeframe. This clearly shows a shift in momentum and I am now waiting for a lower time frame (LTF) continuation pattern to confirm the direction and a valid candlestick pattern for entry.

UJ| Bullish Structure Ride | 5M Demand ExecutionPair: USDJPY
Bias: Bullish
HTF Overview: 4H structure stayed bullish with clean intent. Internal liquidity resting above prior highs, and price is still pushing through the 30M range toward those 4H targets.
LTF Confirmation: 30M showed a clean continuation range with a lower high (LH) inside structure — price never broke character. I tracked it into 5M where the OB was sitting patiently.
Entry Zone: Tapped into the 5M OB with a short-term sweep right before — no need for extra confirmation. The move had structure, inducement, and momentum on its side.
Target: TP hit at the 5M highs, but overall I’m watching for the 30M LH to go first, then ultimately expecting price to run the 4H internal highs this upcoming week.
Mindset Note: When the story is clear on the HTF, all you need is one clean LTF entry to ride with conviction. I’m letting the higher timeframe breathe and staying ready.
XAUUSD Locked In| Waiting for 5M OB SparkPair: XAUUSD (Gold)
Bias: Bullish
Timeframes: 30M / 5M
Gold has followed structure beautifully — top-down alignment from 30M into 5M is clear. Price respected the 30M OB and showed intent, but now we’re approaching the moment of truth.
I’m watching the 5M OB for entry — this is where execution mode activates. No rush. I’m in analysis mode right now, but the shift is coming.
Entry zone is mapped, structure’s in place, order flow is aligned — all I need now is price to do what it always does: respect the blueprint.
Entry Zone: 5M OB
Target: 5M highs
Mindset Note: Patience before the spark. I don’t force entries — I wait for the market to hand me the move it already hinted at. ⚡️
Nasdaq Bullish Flow | 5M OB Execution PendingPair: NAS100
Bias: Bullish
Timeframes: 30M / 5M
Price remains heavy bullish — structure aligning perfectly across the board. Ever since the 30M OB was mitigated, I’ve been following Nasdaq’s order flow step-by-step.
I was watching for full-bodied confirmations inside the 30M zone, but instead, price gave clarity through the lower timeframes. That 5M flip gave away smart money’s intent — showing me exactly where accumulation is happening.
Now waiting for price to tap into the 5M OB to shift into execution mode. This setup has been mapped with precision — no guessing. Once entry presents itself, I’ll follow through.
Entry Zone: 5M OB
Target: 5M highs
Mindset Note: Still in analysis mode — patience until price hits my zone. Smart money doesn’t rush, it accumulates. So do I. 💼
