USDJPY Update: Watching for Confirmation **July 2, 2026 – USDJPY Update: Watching for Confirmation 👀** USDJPY is showing the strong rejection candle we've been waiting for at a key resistance area. The candle hasn't closed yet, so **nothing is confirmed**. As always, we let the market finish telling its story before making any decisions. If this rejection holds into the close, we'll evaluate the setup against the full **VMS 2.0 checklist**: ✅ Structure ✅ Rejection ✅ Momentum ✅ Hook ✅ Volume ✅ Risk-to-Reward Only if everything lines up will it earn a place on the trade board. This is a good reminder that successful trading isn't about anticipating what a candle *might* do—it's about waiting for confirmation and following the process. **Patience first. Decisions second.**

New Market on My Radar: CHFJPY**July 2, 2026 – New Market on My Radar: CHFJPY 👀** CHFJPY wasn't on my watchlist, but today's price action has brought it to my attention. This is shaping up as a potential **pullback short** at a major resistance area, with daily momentum already in a strong bearish trend. Before this market qualifies under my **VMS 2.0** rules, I still need to see two things at today's close: ✅ A confirmed bearish engulfing candle. ✅ A confirmed hook on momentum. If both conditions are present, I'll drop to the lower timeframes to look for volume confirmation and determine whether an entry is warranted. The bigger picture is also interesting. CHFJPY recently came off **all-time highs** following a **16-month uptrend**. If a larger reversal develops, there is considerable room to the downside, with the **190.00** area standing out as a major support zone. For now, nothing is confirmed. **Wait for the candle.** **Wait for the hook.** **Then let the VMS 2.0 checklist decide.** No predictions—just patience and process.

**EURCHF | Upgraded to the Active Trade Board**July 7, 2026 EURCHF has officially moved from the watchlist to the **VMS 2.0 Active Trade Board**. Here's why the setup qualified: • Price completed the pullback and produced the rejection I was waiting for. • Price briefly traded below support before finding buyers at the **50 EMA**. • Yesterday's daily candle closed as a strong **bullish engulfing** pattern. • Daily momentum confirmed with a **bullish hook**, suggesting the potential for a continuation higher. Volume also provided excellent confirmation: • Daily: **84** • 4H: **84** • 1H: Three consecutive candles with volume above **90**. The trade plan was prepared before entry. **Stop Loss:** 4H swing low minus **1.5× ATR**. **Profit Targets:** Two targets based on previous daily support/resistance zones, with ample room for price to advance from current levels. EURCHF is trading from historically depressed levels, so if buyers remain in control, there is significant upside potential. The setup qualified, so I entered with a **market order**. Now the analysis is complete. Now we let the market do the work.

USD/CAD Weekly Outlook: The Breakdown Is ConfirmedAfter one of the most eventful weeks of the month, USD/CAD enters the new week at a critical technical and macroeconomic crossroads. The combination of stronger Canadian employment, softer U.S. CPI, weaker U.S. PPI, and the Bank of Canada's decision to leave rates unchanged has shifted the balance in favour of the Canadian dollar. The question now is whether the market has enough conviction to extend the downtrend or whether we'll see a corrective rebound before the next leg. 🌍 Macro Outlook This week's price action was driven more by changing expectations than by surprise decisions. Canada's labour market continued to show resilience, reinforcing confidence in the economy. Meanwhile, softer U.S. inflation data has encouraged markets to reassess the Federal Reserve's policy path, reducing support for the U.S. dollar. Although the Bank of Canada kept rates unchanged and emphasized uncertainty, USD/CAD failed to recover meaningfully. That lack of a bullish reaction suggests the market is currently assigning greater weight to relative U.S. dollar weakness than to the BoC's cautious stance. As we head into next week, attention shifts to fresh U.S. and Canadian economic data, Treasury yields, oil prices, and any Fed commentary that could reshape interest rate expectations. 📊 The Trading Advantage™ Dashboard 🇺🇸🇨🇦 USD/CAD Macro Score™ (UMS) 30/100 – Bearish USD/CAD Drivers ✅ Strong Canadian employment. ✅ Softer U.S. CPI and PPI. ✅ Lower Treasury yields. ✅ Bearish technical structure remains intact. ⚠️ Market Risk Meter™ (MRM) 🟡 MODERATE The week's major scheduled events are behind us, but markets remain sensitive to new macroeconomic data and geopolitical developments. 📉 Technical Analysis The technical structure continues to favour sellers. Key observations: ✅ The ascending channel has been broken. ✅ Former support around 1.4140–1.4150 has turned into resistance. ✅ Price has retraced to the 50% Fibonacci level, where consolidation is developing. ✅ Lower highs and lower lows continue to define the trend. The current consolidation should not automatically be interpreted as a reversal. After an impulsive move, markets often pause while participants reassess positioning. 🎯 Key Levels Resistance 1.4050–1.4070 (near-term resistance) 1.4140–1.4150 (major resistance) 1.4250 (weekly resistance) Support 50% Fibonacci retracement 61.8% Fibonacci retracement (Golden Pocket) 1.4000 psychological level 📈 Trading Scenarios 🟢 Scenario 1 – Bearish Continuation (Preferred) If sellers continue defending rallies below former support, USD/CAD could extend lower toward the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement, confirming that this week's breakdown was the start of a broader corrective trend. 🔵 Scenario 2 – Corrective Rebound If buyers regain momentum, a rebound toward 1.4050–1.4150 is possible. However, unless price reclaims and holds above the broken support zone, I would continue to view rallies as corrective rather than trend-changing. 📝 The Trading Advantage™ Thesis Tracker ✅ Confirmed - Strong Canadian employment would support CAD. - 1.4250 would remain major resistance. - Softer U.S. inflation would weaken USD. - USD/CAD would break below key support. 🟡 Active Watching whether the 50–61.8% Fibonacci zone becomes the next decision area before the market establishes its next medium-term direction. 📚 Trading Lesson™ One of the most valuable signals this week wasn't a headline—it was the market's reaction. Despite the Bank of Canada maintaining a cautious tone, USD/CAD couldn't reclaim its broken support. When price refuses to move in the direction a headline might suggest, it's often revealing where institutional conviction already lies. That's why I continue to separate my process into two parts: Fundamentals determine direction. Technicals determine execution. What do you think? Is USD/CAD building a base around the 50% Fibonacci retracement, or is this simply a pause before another move toward the 61.8% retracement? The Trading Advantage™ Evidence-based macro and technical market analysis.

EU slowly going downHi traders, Last week EU came into the bearish Weekly FVG and started to go down from there. So next week we could see more downside to take the liquidity under the recent lows. Let's see what the market does and react. Trade idea: Wait for a correction up and a change in orderflow to bearish on a lower timeframe for shorts. This shared post is only my point of view on what could be the next move in this pair based on my technical analysis. But I react and trade on what I see on the chart, not what I've predicted or expect. Manage your emotions, trade your edge! Eduwave

EURUSD External Strucuture is still Bearish But...EURUSD External Strucuture is still Bearish but you can look for a long trade if the highlighted liquidity sweep occurs! EURUSD external strucuture continued its bearish order flow when the price broke past the last external lower low at 1.14131. However, the recent 4H moves show it has entered a retracement phase and can go above 1.15868. So, there could be a decent opportunity for long trades. However, before entering for a buy trade, I'll wait until price does a liquidity sweep below 1.13731. Only then I'll enter for a buy trade while keeping SL at the last external lower low at 1.13256 while TP can go all the way up to 1.16390. Here's how the trade could be: Entry: 1.13742 SL: 1.13245 TP1: 1.14699 TP2: 1.15438 TP3: 1.16386 1:5 trade setup if it hits all our TPs!

GBPJPY BUY TRADE PLAN📌 X WEEKLY TRADE PLAN — GBPJPY Status CONDITIONAL TRADE PLAN — TWO SAME-DIRECTION BUY PATHS Executable elite plans: 2 1. Primary: Existing pullback reaction—waiting for the first retest 2. Alternate: Breakout-retest buy above the weekly high Only one GBPJPY position may become active. Market Structure * W1: Strong established uptrend at fresh structural highs. * D1: Bullish continuation structure. * H4 swing: Bullish. * Current H4 leg: Corrective pullback after the 219.60 expansion. * Current stage: Price already reached approximately 217.99, reacted bullishly and closed around 218.49. The initial support touch has occurred; the next professional entry is the retest. Scenario A — PRIMARY PULLBACK BUY Trade Type Trend Continuation Pullback Main POI Zone 217.75–218.25
 Preferred Execution Band 217.95–218.15 Entry Buy Limit: 218.05, only after Monday’s open confirms that the structure remains intact. Current Execution Stage The zone has already been tapped and the first bullish H4 response has printed. I am not waiting for another initial confirmation candle. The trade is now waiting for: 1. No bearish weekend gap beneath 217.75. 2. A controlled first retest into 217.95–218.15. 3. No strong H4 acceptance below 217.75. 4. Entry around 218.05. This is not a market buy at 218.49. Stop Loss SL: 217.15
 Targets * TP1: 219.55 — recent H4/weekly high * TP2: 220.85 — main continuation objective * TP3: 222.20 — weekly extension only after acceptance above TP2 Risk / Reward * RR to TP2: approximately 1:3.1 * Risk: 0.50% maximum Cancel Trade If * H4 closes below 217.15. * Price accepts below 217.75 rather than defending it. * Price reaches 219.55 before offering the retest. * Monday gaps beneath the POI. * UK or Japanese data cuts through the zone with bearish displacement. * The order remains unfilled at Friday New York close. Trade Management TP1 — 219.55:
Reduce approximately 25–30%. This is the high that initiated the current pullback. If price reaches it but then closes H4 beneath 218.25, protect the remainder because the breakout is failing to hold. TP2 — 220.85:
Close most of the position. This is the principal continuation objective following acceptance above the previous high. TP3 — 222.20:
Keep only a small runner after H4 closes above 220.85 and successfully holds that level on a retest. A strong rejection at TP2 ends the extension attempt. Scenario B — BREAKOUT BUY ALTERNATE Inactive unless 219.65 is accepted first. Trade Type Breakout-Retest Expansion Main POI Zone 219.20–219.65 Preferred Execution Band 219.35–219.55 Entry Buy: 219.45, after confirmed breakout and retest. Activation 1. H4 closes above 219.65. 2. Price retests 219.20–219.65. 3. The retest holds above the broken weekly high. 4. Enter near 219.45 while H4 remains accepted above the structure. A wick above 219.65 is not enough. Stop and Targets * SL: 218.65 * TP1: 220.40 * TP2: 221.90 * TP3: 223.50 * RR to TP2: approximately 1:3.1 * Risk: 0.50% Cancel If * H4 closes below 218.65 after the breakout. * Price reaches 220.40 without offering the retest. * The primary pullback buy is already active. * The breakout is only a temporary data spike. * Unfilled at Friday New York close. Validity / Expiry Valid through Friday, July 24 New York close, unless cancelled earlier. Trader Note GBPJPY has already pulled into the 217.75–218.25 support block and produced the first bullish H4 response, so I am not waiting for another initial zone touch and I am not buying 218.49 after the bounce. My next action is the first controlled retest into 217.95–218.15, where I will buy around 218.05 provided sellers cannot establish below 217.75. If price runs straight back to 219.55, the pullback entry is missed and I do not chase it. If 219.65 breaks first, I switch attention only to the confirmed breakout-retest setup. An H4 close below 217.15 ends the bullish thesis. Scenario Audit * Executable elite plans: 2 * Primary pullback buy: valid; initial reaction printed, retest outstanding * Same-direction breakout buy: valid later * Sell from 219.20–219.70: Watch Only—counter-H4 reversal requires H1 confirmation * Deeper buy beneath 217.15: rejected—current bullish structure would already be damaged

EURUSD Bearish Rejection from 2H Order Block & Fibonacci CnfluncEURUSD is approaching a high-probability sell zone where the 2H Order Block aligns with the 0.5–0.618 Fibonacci retracement, creating a strong area of resistance. A rejection from this confluence could confirm bearish continuation, with sellers likely to regain control and push price toward the marked downside target. A sustained break above the order block would invalidate the setup and signal further bullish strength. This analysis is based purely on price action, order flow, and key Fibonacci confluence. Always wait for confirmation before entering.

BUY TRADE PLAN📌 X WEEKLY TRADE PLAN — NZDUSD 🏷️ Status CONDITIONAL TRADE PLAN — TWO SAME-DIRECTION EXECUTION PATHS Executable elite plans: 2 Primary: Deeper H4 pullback buy Alternate: Breakout-retest buy if the pullback never comes Only one NZDUSD position may become active. Scenario A — PRIMARY PULLBACK BUY Trade Type Trend Continuation Pullback Trade Idea NZDUSD has rallied strongly from approximately 0.5630 and is now consolidating beneath 0.5860 resistance. The preferred trade is to buy a proper pullback into the latest H4 demand structure—not to chase beneath resistance. Entry Plan Main POI Zone: 0.5770–0.5808 Preferred Execution Band: 0.5783–0.5797 Preferred Entry: Buy Limit 0.5792, after activation Set-and-Forget Eligible: No Tuesday’s NZ CPI and the current proximity to resistance require H4 confirmation. Activation Price must pull back into 0.5770–0.5808. A completed H4 candle must defend the area and close back above 0.5808. Place the 0.5792 Buy Limit on the first controlled retest. The pullback must remain corrective—not a bearish displacement through the base. No retest means no entry. Stop Loss SL: 0.5746 Targets TP1: 0.5860 — immediate H4 resistance TP2: 0.5950 — principal D1/W1 objective TP3: 0.6015 — upper weekly resistance extension Risk / Reward RR to TP2: approximately 1:3.4 Risk: 0.50% Cancel Trade If H4 closes below 0.5746. Price accepts beneath 0.5770 rather than reclaiming. Price reaches 0.5860 before offering the entry. NZ CPI consumes or invalidates the POI. The zone is repeatedly tested and loses freshness. Unfilled at Friday New York close. Trade Management At 0.5860: Reduce approximately 25% because this is the exact ceiling currently containing the H4 advance. If price reaches it but then closes H4 back below 0.5808, protect the remainder—the breakout attempt has failed. At 0.5950: Close most of the position. This is the main D1/W1 objective and an established reaction area where the continuation trade has delivered its expected move. Toward 0.6015: Keep only a small runner after an H4 close above 0.5950 and a successful hold above it. A strong rejection at 0.5950 ends the extension attempt. Scenario B — BREAKOUT BUY ALTERNATE Status Inactive unless 0.5865 is accepted first. Trade Type Breakout-Retest Expansion Entry Plan Main POI Zone: 0.5845–0.5865 Preferred Execution Band: 0.5848–0.5857 Preferred Entry: 0.5853 Activation A completed H4 candle closes above 0.5865. Price returns into 0.5845–0.5865. The retest holds and H4 closes back above approximately 0.5860. Enter near 0.5853 only while the breakout remains accepted. A wick above 0.5865 is not enough. Stop Loss SL: 0.5815 Targets TP1: 0.5905 TP2: 0.5970 TP3: 0.6030 Risk / Reward RR to TP2: approximately 1:3.1 Risk: 0.50% Cancel Trade If Breakout fails and H4 closes below 0.5815. Price reaches 0.5905 before offering the retest. The primary pullback position is already active. The move is only a CPI spike without stable H4 acceptance. Unfilled Friday New York close. Validity / Expiry Valid through Friday, July 24 New York close, unless cancelled earlier. Remove any unfilled order before Tuesday’s NZ CPI risk window. Re-arm only after the release has settled and the H4 structure remains valid. No first-spike trade. A filled position continues under its SL and management rules. Trader Note NZDUSD has already travelled from the 0.5630 floor into 0.5860 resistance, so I am not paying 0.5838 underneath the ceiling. My preferred trade is the return into 0.5783–0.5797, an H4 defence back above 0.5808 and then the first retest around 0.5792. If price breaks 0.5865 before giving that pullback, the primary entry is missed and I switch only to the confirmed breakout-retest plan. No pullback or retest means no trade. An H4 close below 0.5746 ends the bullish thesis. Scenario Audit Executable elite plans: 2 Primary pullback buy: valid Same-direction breakout alternate: valid after acceptance and retest Tactical sell from 0.5850–0.5870: rejected—H4 remains bullish HTF sell around 0.5950–0.6020: Watch Only—requires H4 failure and H1 reversal confirmation No additional valid executable scenario was omitted

GBPUSD BUY TRADE PLANWEEKLY TRADE PLAN — GBPUSD 🏷️ Status CONDITIONAL TRADE PLAN — TWO SAME-DIRECTION EXECUTION PATHS Executable elite plans: 2 Primary: Deeper H4 pullback buy Alternate: Breakout-retest buy if no pullback occurs Only one GBPUSD entry may be active. Fundamental Alignment Supportive but event-sensitive — conviction modestly boosted. The BoE’s current stance is marginally more GBP-supportive than the Fed’s, but next week’s UK jobs and inflation releases can quickly change that balance. Risk remains reduced until the data is absorbed. Scenario A — PRIMARY PULLBACK BUY 🎯 Trade Idea BUY The broader H4 structure remains bullish, but current price around 1.3455 is neither deep enough nor clean enough to chase. 📘 Trade Type Trend Continuation Pullback 📍 Entry Plan Order Type: Conditional Buy Preferred Entry: 1.3400, after activation. Main POI Zone: 1.3375–1.3425 Preferred Execution Band: 1.3390–1.3415 POI Logic: Bullish H4 swing structure + breakout origin + role-flip support + structural invalidation beneath the base + open path back toward the weekly high. Set-and-Forget Eligible: NO Friday already partially tested the higher edge of the zone, and major UK data is approaching. The deeper base must prove it is still defended. 🛑 Stop Loss SL: 1.3350 🎯 Targets TP1: 1.3495 TP2: 1.3560 TP3: 1.3650 📊 Risk / Reward RR to TP2: approximately 1:3.2 Risk: 0.50% Plan Quality: A+ / 92 ✅ Activation Trade is not active. Price must pull back into 1.3375–1.3425. A completed H4 candle must defend the zone and close back above 1.3420. If that confirmation closes inside or immediately beside the execution band, a market buy is permitted while RR remains at least 1:3. If the confirmation closes materially higher, place Buy Limit 1.3400 on the first controlled retest. ⚠️ Cancel Trade If H4 closes below 1.3350. Price accepts below 1.3375 rather than reclaiming. Price reaches 1.3495 before entry. Monday gaps through the POI. UK or U.S. data consumes the zone with bearish acceptance. The order remains unfilled at Friday New York close. 🛡️ Trade Management TP1 — 1.3495: Reduce approximately 25% because this is the first shelf where the recovery may stall. If price reaches it and then closes H4 back below 1.3420, protect the remainder because the defended pullback has failed to hold. TP2 — 1.3560: This is the principal objective and the high that stopped last week’s expansion. Close most of the position here. Holding beyond it is justified only if H4 breaks and accepts above the high rather than merely wicking through it. TP3 — 1.3650: Keep only a small runner after an H4 close above 1.3560 and a successful retest. A sharp rejection from the weekly high means the trade is complete at TP2. 🔁 Scenario B — BREAKOUT BUY ALTERNATE Not active now. This is used only if GBPUSD moves higher without providing the primary pullback. Trade Type: Breakout-Retest Expansion Main POI Zone: 1.3535–1.3565 Preferred Execution Band: 1.3545–1.3555 Entry: Conditional buy after H4 breakout acceptance. Preferred Entry: 1.3550 Activation: H4 closes above 1.3560. Price retests 1.3535–1.3565. A completed H4 candle holds the retest above the broken high. Enter near 1.3550 only while the breakout remains accepted. SL: 1.3505 TP1: 1.3615 TP2: 1.3690 TP3: 1.3780 RR to TP2: approximately 1:3.1 Cancel if: Breakout immediately fails below 1.3505. Price reaches 1.3615 before offering the retest. The move is only a news wick without H4 acceptance. The primary pullback trade is already active. Management if activated At 1.3615, remove roughly 25% because this is the first weekly reaction shelf above the breakout. At 1.3690, close most because price enters the established upper weekly range. Hold toward 1.3780 only if H4 remains accepted above 1.3690. 📅 Validity / Expiry Valid through Friday, July 24 New York close, unless cancelled earlier. No fresh activation late Friday. An unfilled order expires Friday. A filled trade continues under its SL and management; Friday expiry does not automatically close it. No carryover or re-entry next week without a new X or PLAN AUDIT. 📝 Trader Note GBPUSD tapped the old buy area on Friday, but the proper confirmation-and-retest sequence never completed before the close. For the new week, I am not buying 1.3455. I want a controlled return into 1.3390–1.3415 and an H4 defence back above 1.3420. If that close remains near the band, I can buy at market; if it closes higher, I will leave 1.3400 for the first retest. If price breaks 1.3560 before pulling back, the primary entry is missed and I switch attention only to the confirmed breakout-retest plan. An H4 close below 1.3350 kills the bullish thesis completely. 🔍 Scenario Audit Executable elite plans: 2 Primary pullback buy: Valid. Same-direction breakout alternate: Valid only after H4 acceptance and retest. Tactical sell: Watch Only — H4 bullish structure has not failed. HTF sell around 1.3630–1.3700: Watch Only — requires price to reach the zone, H4 failure and H1 reversal confirmation.

EURUSD | SELL SETUP...🔴 EURUSD | SELL SETUP 📍 Entry Zone: 1.1415 – 1.1420 🎯 Profit Targets: 🥇 TP1: 1.1395 🥈 TP2: 1.1375 🥉 TP3: 1.1355 🛡️ Risk Control (SL): 1.1435 (above the recent swing high / trendline resistance) 📊 Market Analysis Price remains below the descending trendline, indicating sellers still have control. The current move looks like a retest of broken support/resistance, which often leads to another bearish leg if rejected. A break below 1.1400 would increase the probability of reaching 1.1375–1.1355. 🟢 Alternative Bullish Scenario If a 1H candle closes above 1.1435, the bearish setup is invalidated, and upside targets become: 1.1455 1.1475 1.1500

Can EURUSD Reclaim This Liquidity? 18/07EURUSD has shifted bullish after printing a H4 CHoCH and is now approaching the Internal Buy-Side Liquidity, leading many traders to believe that a larger bullish continuation may already be underway. The problem? A shift in order flow alone doesn't confirm a trend reversal. Buyers still need to reclaim the overhead liquidity and break the descending trendline before the broader bullish structure can be validated. While bullish momentum has improved following the reaction from the H4 Sell-Side Liquidity, price remains capped beneath the H4 Internal Buy-Side Liquidity. Until this area is reclaimed, the current move should be viewed as a recovery rather than a confirmed breakout. For now, buyers have regained momentum. But the real challenge is still waiting above. Currently • A bullish H4 CHoCH confirmed a short-term shift in order flow • Price defended the H4 Sell-Side Liquidity zone • Buyers are building momentum toward the Internal Buy-Side Liquidity • Market remains below the descending trendline • H4 Internal Buy-Side Liquidity is acting as the next key resistance • Major H4 premium zones remain unfilled Trading Plan Bias: Bullish Toward the H4 Internal Buy-Side Liquidity Main Zone • 1.1360–1.1370 → H4 Sell-Side Liquidity Execution Idea As long as price continues holding above the H4 Sell-Side Liquidity, buyers may continue targeting the H4 Internal Buy-Side Liquidity around 1.1480. A breakout above this liquidity, together with a reclaim of the descending trendline, could expose the H4 Fair Value Gap around 1.1550–1.1580, followed by the H4 Order Block near 1.1610–1.1620. However, failure to reclaim the liquidity zone would increase the probability of another pullback toward the H4 Sell-Side Liquidity before buyers attempt another advance. Targets → TP1: 1.1480 → H4 Internal Buy-Side Liquidity → TP2: 1.1550–1.1580 → H4 Fair Value Gap → TP3: 1.1610–1.1620 → H4 Order Block → TP4: 1.1660–1.1680 → Major H4 Buy-Side Liquidity Invalidation A confirmed H4 candle close below the 1.1360–1.1370 H4 Sell-Side Liquidity zone would invalidate the bullish scenario and suggest sellers are regaining control of the market. Key Insight A H4 CHoCH signals a shift in order flow—not a confirmed trend reversal. Buyers still need to reclaim the Internal Buy-Side Liquidity and break the descending trendline before the higher-timeframe bullish narrative can be taken seriously. Key Question Is EURUSD building enough momentum to reclaim the H4 liquidity above, or is this simply another recovery before sellers regain control?
