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

Event risk: UK CPI + flash PMIs and US jobless claims can trigger sharp moves, wider spreads, and false breaks. Prefer confirmation (break + close / reclaim) and avoid chasing spikes.

Indicative prices (approx.): EUR/USD ~ 1.1767, GBP/USD ~ 1.3520, USD/JPY ~ 159.04; BTC/USD ~ 77,993, ETH/USD ~ 2,392, SOL/USD ~ 87.89.

1) EUR/USD — Sell Rejection Near 1.1830–1.1850

  • Bias: Tactical bearish if upside momentum fades at resistance.
  • Entry trigger: Push into 1.1830–1.1850 followed by a bearish close back below 1.1815.
  • Suggested stop-loss: Above 1.1895.
  • Potential targets: 1.1760, then 1.1715.
  • Risk note: A clean break and hold above 1.1850 invalidates the short idea.

2) GBP/USD — Breakout Buy Above 1.3585

  • Bias: Bullish only on confirmation (especially after CPI volatility).
  • Entry trigger: Break and close above 1.3585.
  • Suggested stop-loss: Below 1.3505.
  • Potential targets: 1.3660, then 1.3725.
  • Risk note: If it snaps back below 1.3585 quickly, treat it as a false breakout.

3) USD/JPY — Breakdown Sell Below 158.40

  • Bias: Bearish only on confirmation.
  • Entry trigger: Break and close below 158.40.
  • Suggested stop-loss: Above 159.20.
  • Potential targets: 157.65, then 156.95.
  • Risk note: JPY pairs can wick hard around PMIs/headlines—wait for a clean close.

4) BTC/USD — Breakout Buy Above 79,000

  • Bias: Neutral-to-bullish on confirmation.
  • Entry trigger: Break and close above 79,000.
  • Suggested stop-loss: Below 76,800.
  • Potential targets: 81,200, then 83,500.
  • Risk note: If it fails back below 79,000 quickly, treat it as a false breakout.

5) ETH/USD — Breakdown Sell Below 2,320

  • Bias: Bearish only on confirmation.
  • Entry trigger: Break and close below 2,320.
  • Suggested stop-loss: Above 2,425.
  • Potential targets: 2,235, then 2,145.
  • Risk note: Avoid chasing breakdown candles—wait for a confirmed close.

6) SOL/USD — Breakout Buy Above 90.20

  • Bias: Tactical bullish only on confirmation.
  • Entry trigger: Break and close above 90.20.
  • Suggested stop-loss: Below 86.90.
  • Potential targets: 94.00, then 98.20.
  • Risk note: Alts can reverse fast—keep risk tight.
