XAUUSD
What a joke of a week for gold. Closed right around that 50 SMA, which is basically nowhere. Saw the dollar dip with the Iran news, thought we'd finally see a real rally, but nope. Seems like the big ...
XAUUSD
Honestly, I'm not expecting much next week. If oil prices keep spiking like that on the geopolitical drama, the Fed will surely backtrack on rate cuts, which means DXY might strengthen again. That usu...
XAUUSD
@gCooper14 I feel you. This whole market feels rigged lately. They push it up on news then smash it. Support levels are just suggestions for them to hunt SLs. Don't even get me started on the spreads....
GBPUSD
This weekend's been quiet, thankfully. Can't wait to see if GBPUSD gaps down on Monday morning though. These geopolitical tensions and oil spikes are probably going to cause some nasty overnight moves...
GBPUSD
Hey @williamgreen, yeah the Middle East drama is definitely making things dicey. I saw that oil news too, not surprised to see it pushing the dollar stronger against us. It's like they're trying to pu...
GBPUSD
Actually, thinking about that gap risk for Monday... if we do see a big gap down on GBPUSD, it might be a good spot for smart money to step in and reverse it quickly. That's what they *like* to do, cr...
XAGUSD
This whole dip is pure manipulation, they just swept the lows again right as the NY session opened. I'm moving my stop to breakeven on my long position now. No way am I letting them stop me out at a l...
XAGUSD
Seriously, this whole market feels rigged. They pump it up just to drop it and hunt stops, then do it again. Classic whale move.
XAGUSD
Seeing a lot of bearish engulfing patterns forming on the H1, @twilson147. Combined with that news about the Fed's hawkish stance, it really feels like silver is going to keep heading down. I'm not se...
GBPUSD
This GBPUSD action is kinda reminding me of that fakeout we saw back in Q1 2023... Everyone piling into shorts below 1.20 and then BAM, straight up. I'm not saying it's the same, but gotta be careful ...
GBPUSD
oh and i'm watching the DXY closely... if that dollar index keeps pushing higher, it's gonna put even more pressure on cable. need to see a pullback there for my long bias to really kick in.
GBPUSD
@rajeshchowdhury13 I agree about the oil tensions. That's what I'm worried about too. If things escalate, flight to safety will definitely hurt GBPUSD.
XAGUSD
Ugh, XAGUSD is giving me a headache today. The volatility is insane. I'm trying to stick to my plan and not let emotions dictate my trades, but it's tough when the price is jumping around like this. A...
XAGUSD
@sophia8443 I feel you! It's all part of the learning curve. Don't beat yourself up too much, just review your trades and identify what you could have done differently. We all make mistakes.
XAGUSD
Anyone else think this dip in silver is a good buying opportunity or just a temporary pullback before another drop? RSI is near 40, so it's not oversold yet imo.
ETHUSD
Anyone else eyeing ETHUSD for a bounce? RSI is pretty oversold at 30.2 and we're hugging the lower Bollinger band around 1804. Feels like a decent scalping opp for a quick long if it holds S1 at 1811....
ETHUSD
Update: still watching volume seems low tho. Need more confimation before jumping in especially with the bearish overall trend.
ETHUSD
@QuantumLeap58 Hey Jonathan, good on you for looking at the SMAs! But just a heads up, from my charts, ETHUSD is actually trading quite a bit *below* both the 50 SMA (1903.58) and the 200 SMA (1952.31...
GBPUSD
Is anyone else noticing the extreme volatility in GBPUSD lately? I'm seeing whipsaws all over the place, even on the H4 chart. Makes scalping a real challenge. Thinking of tightening my SL and TP to c...
GBPUSD
@nadekunle782 Backtesting over the weekend can be frustrating, I agree. Try focusing on identifying key levels and potential breakout zones on GBPUSD. That can give you a head start when the market op...
