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

Event risk: Eurozone data + US inventories + FOMC minutes can trigger sharp moves, wider spreads, and false breaks. Prefer confirmation (break + close / reclaim) and avoid chasing spikes.

1) EUR/USD — Breakdown Sell Below 1.1510

  • Bias: Bearish only on confirmation.
  • Entry trigger: Break and close below 1.1510.
  • Suggested stop-loss: Above 1.1568.
  • Potential targets: 1.1450, then 1.1405.
  • Risk note: A quick reclaim back above 1.1510 can signal a false break.

  • Bias: Bullish only on confirmation.
  • Entry trigger: Break and close above 1.3310.

3) USD/JPY — Sell Rejection Near 160.60–160.90

  • Suggested stop-loss: Above 161.35.
  • Potential targets: 159.60, then 158.90.
  • Risk note: JPY pairs can wick hard around minutes/headlines—wait for a clean close.

  • Suggested stop-loss: Below 71,200.
  • Potential targets: 75,600, then 78,000.
  • Risk note: If it fails back below 73,200 quickly, treat it as a false breakout.
