EURUSDHello Traders! 👋
What are your thoughts on EURUSD?
The pair is moving within an ascending channel, but after reaching a resistance zone, it has entered a corrective phase.
We expect the correction and sideways range to continue until the price reaches the support area.
From there, a bullish reaction could trigger the next upward move toward higher resistance levels.
As long as EUR/USD trades inside the channel and above the support, the bullish outlook remains valid.
Don’t forget to like and share your thoughts in the comments! ❤️

Take-profit near 3,610 first, and extended target around 3,590.1. Current Trend
Price is moving inside a down channel, marked by the two blue trendlines.
Each time price touches the upper edge of the channel, it gets rejected and turns lower, showing sellers are in control.
Key resistance zone: around 3,645 – 3,655 (red box), which has been tested multiple times but failed to hold.
2. Key Levels
Short-term resistance: 3,650 – 3,655. Unless a breakout occurs, the bearish momentum remains dominant.
Support target: 3,590 – 3,600 (blue box below). This is a previous low and a strong demand zone.
3. Price Scenarios
Main scenario (preferred): Price continues moving inside the down channel → breaks below 3,640 → gradually drops toward 3,600 – 3,590.
Alternative scenario: If there’s a strong breakout above 3,655 with a solid H1 close, the short-term trend may reverse upward, targeting 3,670 – 3,680.
4. Trading View
With the current trend: bias remains Sell within the down channel, with stop-loss above 3,660.
Take-profit near 3,610 first, and extended target around 3,590.

Why Spot Forex is the First Choice for Retail Traders1. Understanding Spot Forex
Before exploring the reasons for its popularity, it’s important to understand what spot forex really is.
Definition: Spot forex is the purchase or sale of one currency for another, with settlement occurring “on the spot” (usually within two business days, but in practice, retail brokers provide immediate execution).
Currency pairs: Trades happen in pairs like EUR/USD, GBP/JPY, or USD/INR. The first currency (base) is being bought or sold against the second (quote).
Objective: Traders aim to profit from the fluctuations in exchange rates between currencies.
Unlike futures or options, where contracts are traded, spot forex involves the direct exchange at current prices. For retail traders, brokers provide contracts via platforms that simulate this process with tight spreads, leverage, and easy order execution.
2. Historical Growth of Retail Forex
Until the late 1990s, forex was largely the playground of banks, hedge funds, and large corporations managing cross-border exposures. Retail investors had little or no access because:
Minimum transaction sizes were too large.
Trading required specialized knowledge and infrastructure.
Pricing was not transparent to the public.
However, the rise of online trading platforms around the year 2000 changed everything. Brokers like OANDA, FXCM, and later a flood of global platforms, introduced small contract sizes, user-friendly software (like MetaTrader), and access to leverage. Suddenly, anyone with an internet connection could participate.
By the mid-2000s, millions of retail traders had entered the forex market, with Asia, Europe, and later Africa becoming hotspots for new traders. Today, forex is the largest segment of retail online trading, far surpassing traditional stock trading in many regions.
3. Core Advantages of Spot Forex for Retail Traders
3.1 Liquidity and Market Size
Forex is the world’s most liquid market, with trillions of dollars traded daily. This liquidity brings several benefits:
Tight spreads: Bid-ask spreads are minimal, especially on major pairs like EUR/USD.
Instant execution: Orders can be filled within milliseconds.
No market manipulation (at retail scale): Because the market is so vast, individual retail traders or even brokers cannot manipulate prices significantly.
For beginners, this means fair pricing, ease of entry and exit, and reduced slippage compared to thinly traded assets.
3.2 24-Hour Market
Unlike stock exchanges that operate within specific hours, forex trading runs 24 hours a day, five days a week. From the Sydney open on Monday morning to the New York close on Friday evening, trading never stops.
This round-the-clock access is particularly attractive for retail traders who often trade part-time:
A student can trade after classes.
A working professional can trade after office hours.
A freelancer can pick sessions that match their schedule.
Flexibility is a major reason why forex fits into people’s lives more easily than stock markets with rigid timings.
3.3 Leverage and Low Capital Requirement
One of the most powerful attractions of forex is leverage. Brokers allow traders to control positions much larger than their deposit. For example:
With leverage of 1:100, a trader can control $10,000 worth of currency with just $100 margin.
Some brokers even offer leverage as high as 1:500 or more.
This means retail traders don’t need large starting capital. Someone with $500 can participate meaningfully in the market, unlike in stocks where buying even a few shares of large companies can consume the entire amount.
Of course, leverage is a double-edged sword (covered later), but its availability makes forex highly accessible.
3.4 Low Transaction Costs
Forex brokers earn mainly from spreads (the difference between buy and sell prices), which are often as low as 0.1 to 1 pip for major pairs. Compared to stock brokers who charge commissions or commodity markets with exchange fees, forex is cost-efficient.
No clearing fees, exchange fees, or government stamp duties make the cost structure simpler and lighter for retail traders.
3.5 Variety of Currency Pairs
Forex offers a wide menu of tradable instruments:
Majors: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, USD/CHF.
Minors: EUR/GBP, AUD/JPY, GBP/CHF.
Exotics: USD/TRY, USD/ZAR, USD/INR.
This variety allows traders to pick pairs that suit their trading style. Some prefer stable majors with tight spreads, while others thrive on the volatility of exotic currencies.
3.6 Advanced Technology & Platforms
The retail forex industry has benefited enormously from trading technology. Platforms like MetaTrader 4 (MT4), MetaTrader 5 (MT5), and cTrader provide:
One-click execution.
Real-time charts.
Custom indicators and automated trading (Expert Advisors).
Mobile apps for trading on the go.
Such sophisticated tools, often free, are a huge reason forex became the default choice for retail traders.
4. Practical Reasons Retail Traders Prefer Spot Forex
4.1 Easy Account Setup
Opening a forex trading account is often easier than opening a stock brokerage account. With online KYC, low minimum deposits (sometimes as low as $10), and demo accounts, the barrier to entry is minimal.
4.2 Demo Accounts for Practice
Unlike many stock or commodity brokers, forex brokers almost always provide free demo accounts with virtual money. This allows beginners to practice strategies without financial risk, making the learning curve smoother.
4.3 Global Access
Forex is a truly global market. Whether you live in India, Nigeria, Brazil, or Europe, you can access the same currency pairs and pricing as traders in New York or London. This universality is rare in other asset classes.
5. Psychological & Behavioral Appeal
5.1 The Thrill of Leverage
For many beginners, the ability to control large amounts with small deposits is exhilarating. The idea of turning $100 into $1,000 in a short span appeals strongly to retail traders, even though the risks are equally high.
5.2 Freedom and Independence
Forex gives traders the sense of being their own boss. No middle managers, no clients to report to—just you, your strategy, and the market. This independence attracts people seeking financial freedom.
5.3 Quick Feedback Loop
Unlike long-term stock investing, forex provides immediate feedback. A trader knows within minutes or hours whether a trade is working, which keeps engagement high.
6. Risks and Misconceptions
It would be incomplete to discuss forex’s appeal without addressing its risks.
6.1 Overuse of Leverage
Leverage magnifies profits and losses. Many retail traders blow up accounts by over-leveraging, thinking they can get rich overnight.
6.2 Emotional Trading
The fast pace and 24-hour availability often lead to overtrading, revenge trading, or lack of discipline. Psychology plays a huge role in whether traders succeed or fail.
6.3 Broker Risks
Not all brokers are regulated. Many retail traders in emerging markets fall prey to fraudulent brokers promising unrealistic leverage or bonuses.
Despite these challenges, the majority of traders still flock to forex because the potential rewards outweigh perceived risks in their minds.
Conclusion
Spot forex has become the first choice for retail traders because it combines accessibility, liquidity, low costs, global reach, and technological sophistication in a way that no other market does. For individuals with limited capital, flexible schedules, and a desire for independence, forex is the natural starting point.
Yes, the risks are real—particularly misuse of leverage and emotional trading—but the sheer scale of opportunities continues to draw millions of retail traders each year.
For beginners and seasoned traders alike, the spot forex market remains not only the largest financial arena but also the most democratic—open to anyone, anywhere, with the willingness to learn and the discipline to trade.

AUDJPY Strong cyclical Sell SignalLast time we made a call on the AUDJPY pair was 6 months ago (March 28, see chart below), giving a sell signal that quickly hit our 91.000 Target:
This time we have the price trading near the Top (Higher Highs trend-line) of a 4-month Channel Up but in the past 2 days has seen a minor pull-back on its 4H MA50 (blue trend-line).
This can be explained cyclically as based on the previous two Higher Highs and using the Time Cycles, the pattern topped exactly 2 days ago (just under the 1.382 Fib extension) and is technically in need of a correction towards its 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level.
As a result, and since the 1D RSI also dipped below its MA (consistent with both previous tops), we turn bearish on this pair, targeting 96.500.

This is a price zone that has been rejected many times, strong s1. Key Supply & Demand Zones
Supply zone (resistance): around 3,680 – 3,700 (blue box). This is a level where price was rejected multiple times, showing strong selling pressure.
Near-term demand (support): around 3,630 – 3,640 (thin red box just below the current price).
Deeper support: around 3,590 – 3,600 (lower red box), where price previously bounced strongly.
2. Possible Scenarios
Bullish scenario (solid blue arrow):
If price holds the 3,630 – 3,640 support → it may rebound and retest the resistance at 3,670 – 3,690. A strong breakout above 3,700 would confirm continuation to the upside.
Bearish scenario (dotted blue arrow):
If price breaks below 3,630 → it could fall toward 3,590 – 3,600. This is a stronger demand zone where new buying pressure may appear.
3. Trading Notes
On H1, the main trend is still sideways – ranging between 3,590 and 3,700.
Short-term setups could be:
Buy around 3,630 – 3,640 (SL below 3,625, TP 3,670 – 3,690).
Sell around 3,680 – 3,690 (SL above 3,705, TP back to 3,640).
For clear breakouts (high volume, strong candles):
Above 3,700 → bullish bias.
Below 3,590 → bearish bias.
