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 (Factory Orders / Retail Sales), US jobless claims + productivity/labor costs, and central-bank speakers can trigger sharp moves, wider spreads, and false breaks. USD/JPY may also be sensitive to intervention headlines—prefer confirmation (break + close / reclaim) and avoid chasing spikes.

Indicative prices (approx.): EUR/USD ~ 1.176, GBP/USD ~ 1.360, USD/JPY ~ 156.3; BTC/USD ~ 81,146, ETH/USD ~ 2,334, SOL/USD ~ 89.42.

1) EUR/USD — Breakout Buy Above 1.1815

  • Bias: Bullish only on confirmation.
  • Entry trigger: Break and close above 1.1815.
  • Suggested stop-loss: Below 1.1745.
  • Potential targets: 1.1880, then 1.1935.
  • Risk note: A quick snap back below 1.1815 can signal a false breakout.

2) GBP/USD — Breakdown Sell Below 1.3520

  • Bias: Bearish only on confirmation (BoE speaker risk).
  • Entry trigger: Break and close below 1.3520.
  • Suggested stop-loss: Above 1.3605.

  • Risk note: If it quickly reclaims 1.3520, step aside (possible whipsaw).

3) USD/JPY — Sell Rejection Near 157.10–157.40

  • Bias: Tactical bearish if upside momentum fades (watch intervention headlines).
  • Entry trigger: Push into 157.10–157.40 then a bearish close back below 156.85.
  • Suggested stop-loss: Above 158.10.
  • Potential targets: 156.10, then 155.35.

  • Suggested stop-loss: Below 80,900.
  • Potential targets: 84,900, then 87,300.
  • Risk note: If it fails back below 82,700 quickly, treat it as a false breakout.

5) ETH/USD — Breakdown Sell Below 2,300

  • Bias: Bearish only on confirmation.
  • Entry trigger: Break and close below 2,300.
  • Suggested stop-loss: Above 2,380.
