Disclaimer: The following ideas are provided for educational purposes only. They do not constitute financial advice and come with no guarantees.

Event risk: Watch for volatility around German PPI, China LPR, and Canada CPI. Prefer confirmation (break + close / reclaim) and avoid chasing spikes.

Indicative prices (approx.): EUR/USD ~ 1.1797, GBP/USD ~ 1.3534, USD/JPY ~ 159.13; BTC/USD ~ 74,822, ETH/USD ~ 2,287, SOL/USD ~ 84.55.

1) EUR/USD — Breakdown Sell Below 1.1745

  • Bias: Bearish only on confirmation.
  • Entry trigger: Break and close below 1.1745.
  • Suggested stop-loss: Above 1.1805.
  • Potential targets: 1.1685, then 1.1635.
  • Risk note: If price quickly reclaims 1.1745, step aside (possible false break).

2) GBP/USD — Sell Rejection Near 1.3605–1.3625

  • Bias: Tactical bearish if upside momentum fades at resistance.
  • Entry trigger: Push into 1.3605–1.3625 then a bearish close back below 1.3590.
  • Suggested stop-loss: Above 1.3685.
  • Potential targets: 1.3520, then 1.3460.
  • Risk note: A clean break and hold above 1.3625 invalidates the short idea.

3) USD/JPY — Breakout Buy Above 160.05

  • Bias: Tactical bullish only on confirmation.
  • Entry trigger: Break and close above 160.05.
  • Suggested stop-loss: Below 159.25.
  • Potential targets: 160.85, then 161.55.
  • Risk note: JPY pairs can wick hard on macro headlines—wait for a clean close.

4) BTC/USD — Breakout Buy Above 76,300

  • Bias: Neutral-to-bullish on confirmation.
  • Entry trigger: Break and close above 76,300.
  • Suggested stop-loss: Below 74,600.
  • Potential targets: 78,400, then 80,700.
  • Risk note: If it fails back below 76,300 quickly, treat it as a false breakout.

5) ETH/USD — Breakdown Sell Below 2,260

  • Bias: Bearish only on confirmation.
  • Entry trigger: Break and close below 2,260.
  • Suggested stop-loss: Above 2,345.
  • Potential targets: 2,185, then 2,115.
  • Risk note: Avoid chasing breakdown candles—wait for a confirmed close.

  • Bias: Tactical bullish only on confirmation.
  • Entry trigger: Break and close above 87.20.
  • Suggested stop-loss: Below 83.80.
  • Potential targets: 90.70, then 94.10.
  • Risk note: Alts can reverse fast—keep risk tight.
