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

Event risk: US housing/confidence data and the Richmond Fed index can trigger sharp intraday moves. Prefer confirmation (break + close / reclaim) and avoid chasing spikes.

1) EUR/USD — Breakout Buy Above 1.1840

Current price (approx.): 1.1802

  • Bias: Bullish only on confirmation.
  • Entry trigger: Break and close above 1.1840.
  • Suggested stop-loss: Below 1.1788.
  • Potential targets: 1.1905, then 1.1950.
  • Risk note: If it snaps back under 1.1840 quickly, treat it as a false breakout.

2) GBP/USD — Sell Rejection Near 1.3540–1.3560

Current price (approx.): 1.3496

  • Bias: Range/reversal if upside momentum fades at resistance.
  • Entry trigger: Push into 1.3540–1.3560 followed by a bearish close back below 1.3530.
  • Suggested stop-loss: Above 1.3605.
  • Potential targets: 1.3460, then 1.3405.
  • Risk note: A clean break and hold above the zone invalidates the short idea.

3) USD/JPY — Breakdown Sell Below 153.90

Current price (approx.): 154.28

  • Bias: Bearish only on confirmation.
  • Entry trigger: Break and close below 153.90.
  • Suggested stop-loss: Above 154.65.
  • Potential targets: 153.10, then 152.45.
  • Risk note: JPY pairs can wick hard around US releases—wait for a clean close.

4) BTC/USD — Breakdown Sell Below 63,900

Current price (approx.): 64,715

  • Bias: Bearish only on confirmation.
  • Entry trigger: Break and close below 63,900.
  • Suggested stop-loss: Above 65,300.
  • Potential targets: 62,200, then 60,800.
  • Risk note: If price quickly reclaims 63,900, step aside (possible whipsaw).

5) ETH/USD — Breakdown Sell Below 1,835

Current price (approx.): 1,861

  • Bias: Bearish only on confirmation.
  • Entry trigger: Break and close below 1,835.
  • Suggested stop-loss: Above 1,885.
  • Potential targets: 1,765, then 1,710.
  • Risk note: Avoid chasing breakdown candles—wait for a confirmed close.

6) SOL/USD — Reclaim Buy Above 80.40

Current price (approx.): 78.01

  • Bias: Tactical bullish only on confirmation.
  • Entry trigger: Break and close above 80.40.
  • Suggested stop-loss: Below 77.70.
  • Potential targets: 83.60, then 86.20.
  • Risk note: If it fails back below 80.40 quickly, treat it as a false reclaim.
