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

Event risk (major): NFP day + bank holidays can mean thinner liquidity, wider spreads, and false breaks. Prefer confirmation (break + close / reclaim) and avoid chasing spikes.

Indicative prices (approx.): EUR/USD ~ 1.1525, GBP/USD ~ 1.3209, USD/JPY ~ 159.60; BTC/USD ~ 66,814, ETH/USD ~ 2,063.8, SOL/USD ~ 79.61.

1) EUR/USD — Breakdown Sell Below 1.1485

  • Bias: Bearish only on confirmation.
  • Entry trigger: Break and close below 1.1485.
  • Suggested stop-loss: Above 1.1545.
  • Potential targets: 1.1425, then 1.1375.
  • Risk note: If it quickly reclaims 1.1485, step aside (possible false break).

2) GBP/USD — Sell Rejection Near 1.3280–1.3300

  • Bias: Tactical bearish if upside momentum fades at resistance (holiday liquidity).
  • Entry trigger: Push into 1.3280–1.3300 then a bearish close back below 1.3265.
  • Suggested stop-loss: Above 1.3360.
  • Potential targets: 1.3195, then 1.3135.
  • Risk note: A clean break and hold above 1.3300 invalidates the short idea.

3) USD/JPY — Sell Rejection Near 160.30–160.60

  • Bias: Tactical bearish if the rally stalls at resistance.
  • Entry trigger: Spike into 160.30–160.60 then a bearish close back below 160.10.
  • Suggested stop-loss: Above 161.05.
  • Potential targets: 159.20, then 158.55.
  • Risk note: JPY pairs can wick hard on NFP—wait for a clean close.

4) BTC/USD — Reclaim Buy Above 67,600

  • Bias: Tactical bullish only on confirmation.
  • Entry trigger: Break and close above 67,600.
  • Suggested stop-loss: Below 66,200.
  • Potential targets: 69,200, then 70,600.
  • Risk note: If it fails back below 67,600 quickly, treat it as a false reclaim.

5) ETH/USD — Breakout Buy Above 2,110

  • Bias: Neutral-to-bullish on confirmation.
  • Entry trigger: Break and close above 2,110.
  • Suggested stop-loss: Below 2,030.
  • Potential targets: 2,200, then 2,290.
  • Risk note: Avoid chasing mid-candle moves—wait for a confirmed close.

6) SOL/USD — Breakout Buy Above 82.00

  • Bias: Tactical bullish only on confirmation.
  • Entry trigger: Break and close above 82.00.
  • Suggested stop-loss: Below 78.70.
  • Potential targets: 85.20, then 88.00.
  • Risk note: Alts can reverse fast—keep risk tight.
