Yesterday we saw a Buy side liquidity sweep on Gold OANDA:XAUUSD followed by a downward slope showing strength and displacement. The price recovered within the boundaries of the 1988-1989 previous supply zone. Technically it opens the door of a potential Short side trade. In another hand the middle east conflict is creating uncertainty about how successful can...

OANDA:WTICOUSD \ Hopefully, I reached my target yesterday of 61.03 before that “reassuring” tweet on the Sino-US trade deal. After the very traumatic reaction from US stock markets from last Sunday news about China tariffs, it seems consistent to provide the market with less pessimistic news The last tweet from president Trump has created a huge buying impulse....
OANDA:WTICOUSD As mentioned in my yesterday analysis 62.0x has played a pivotal role in the price action. After a reversion at that level, we have had a drop to the 61 price range. Thanks to an anticipation of the coming data and a surprising decrease of over 3 million barrels the target I mentioned of 62.3x was quite exactly reached during the US session. A...

Considering the price action since we crossed that breakout level we have had the usual downslope after we crossed that breakout area but we can't see any real drop so far below that level 5. I am expecting today the quotation to continue is way on the upside with a...

As for example the sharp retracement after the RBA no rate increase announcement or the last retracement in progress despite all news about US-China difficulties to reach a deal. In other terms, we may say that the Forex market is definitely no longer WYSIWYG...
OANDA:BCOUSD As published previously the bearish momentum has corrected each of the bullish attempts so far. The updated 120 minutes chart suggests that the market configuration hasn't changed that much from last week. Despite that strong headwind I still consider a new attempt to the upside can be initiated from level 5 indicated in the chart. Conversely, a...
OANDA:GBPJPY 3 days ago I published my Bearish target for GBP that was reached yesterday @141 level. it is critical in a trading plan to anticipate retracement. Retracement is a necessary step to initiate a new impulse but what I would like to simply illustrate is why retracement can be so brutal and potentially very damaging by nature. On that 120 minutes...
