HTF - Crude Oil AnalysisOn the HTF, we can see Crude oil has overall been bearish since 2022 because :
- Geopolitical tensions priced in and faded out.
- Decreased oil consumption of oil. Demand reduced
- Oversupply concerns - OPEC maintained higher levels of oil product. Too much supply & less supply hence lower oil Prices.
· Historically, The markets keep an equilibrium on the price of oil which healthy prices being around $40 - $80 per barrel. This is where oil spends most of its time.
They wouldn’t let oil price drop too low since it would cost producers too much & if its too high, then the consumers will suffer so price always remain a balance.
Future Analysis/forecasts:
· Now we are seeing that Major central banks around the world adopting loose monetary policies and cutting interest rates following suits with the Federal Reserve.
-This would result in more economic activity, more manufacturers using oil etc therefor the demand for Oil will pick up again and we can see price start to rise.
Fundamental Analysis
Bullish Analysis XAU/USD (Gold) 15M -SMC-📈 Breakdown…
1. Market Context
The market created a clear consolidation zone earlier in the session. This type of price behavior usually builds both sell-side and buy-side liquidity, preparing the next directional move.
After consolidation, price delivered a CHoCH followed by a BOS, confirming a shift in market structure and signaling bullish intention.
2. Liquidity Map
Price swept the Buy-Side Liquidity above the previous highs, creating a Fake-Out and trapping breakout traders.
This liquidity grab is typical before a deeper pullback into a discount zone, allowing institutions to accumulate long positions.
3. Mitigation Zone (Point of Interest)
Price retraces into a 15-minute Order Block aligned with a support zone.
This area represents your optimal entry zone, where the market likely mitigates institutional orders.
BUY level at 4,194 is perfectly positioned inside this zone.
4. Entry, Stop Loss & Risk Management
• Buy: 4,194
• Stop Loss: 4,172
• R/R: 1:2
The SL is set below the OB and structural low, keeping the trade protected while respecting the model.
5. Expected Reaction & Bullish Expansion
From the mitigation zone, we anticipate:
1. Rejection
2. Internal redistribution
3. Bullish expansion into higher liquidity
This aligns with institutional price delivery, as price usually creates a final internal correction before taking external highs.
6. Target (TP)
TP: 4,245
This target aligns with:
• Buy-Side Liquidity above previous highs
• A clean inefficiency zone
• Expected continuation model
This is a logical liquidity pool where institutions may off-load positions.
✅ Summary
✔ Liquidity sweep
✔ Market structure shift
✔ Mitigation in OB-15M
✔ Clean R/R
✔ Professional projection into liquidity

The Contango Conundrum: Why Crude’s Price Power WanesThe global crude oil market is signaling sustained weakness. A clear sign is the Contango in the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures curve for most of 2026. This structure prices future oil deliveries higher than immediate ones, strongly indicating a global supply glut. Major forecasting bodies like the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) now confirm a record surplus looms in 2026, reversing previous tight market expectations. Understanding this decline requires a multidisciplinary lens, examining supply resilience against sluggish demand across several domains.
Geostrategy and Geopolitics: Production Over Protocol
Geopolitical decisions, paradoxically, contribute to oversupply. OPEC+ members are gradually unwinding previous voluntary production cuts, adding millions of barrels back to the market. This production boost, formalized in their latest agreements, increases supply visibility and dampens price spikes. Simultaneously, sustained geopolitical tensions between major powers often lead key consumers like China to ramp up Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPR) , effectively soaking up immediate surplus but reducing future demand visibility. This policy-driven stockpiling mitigates immediate price falls, but structural oversupply persists.
Macroeconomics and Economics: Slowdown Meets Resilience
A deceleration in global oil demand growth meets unexpectedly resilient supply . Macroeconomic headwinds, including trade tensions and a sluggish global economic outlook, suppress consumption growth below historical trends. This tepid demand environment is exacerbated by expanding production from non-OPEC+ nations. Crucially, the United States, Brazil, Canada, and Guyana lead this non-OPEC+ supply expansion, challenging the cartel’s market dominance. The resulting imbalance, production exceeding demand, creates the chronic oversupply driving WTI into contango.
Technology and High-Tech: Efficiency Enhances Supply
Advancements in extraction technology dramatically boosted supply, particularly within the US shale sector. Continuous innovations in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing sustain high US output, even as prices soften. Furthermore, the rapid expansion of Electric Vehicle (EV) sales and increasing vehicle fuel efficiencies represent a major technological headwind for transportation fuel demand. This shift, supported by global patent activity in battery and wave energy technology, structurally limits long-term oil consumption growth.
Patent and Science Analysis: The Energy Transition
Patent activity confirms the directional shift away from fossil fuels. While patents related to downhole completion systems and drilling fluid prediction remain, increased patenting in Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) [/b and Green Hydrogen signals the industry's necessary pivot. The science of energy transition, focusing on low-carbon solutions, suggests a future where oil remains a critical input but faces mounting competition from technological substitutes. This long-term displacement risk pressures oil prices, even if demand remains firm in the short run.
Cyber and Strategic Risk: Supply Chain Security
The increasing reliance on complex digital infrastructure across the oil value chain introduces cyber risk . Successful attacks on pipeline operators or refineries can cause temporary supply disruptions and price spikes. However, the market currently views such disruptions as temporary events rather than long-term structural issues affecting the overall supply-demand balance. The oversupply acts as a buffer, with floating storage and ample inventory mitigating the impact of short-term, localized outages.
Investment Outlook: Watching Spreads
The market signals clearly indicate supply strength and demand vulnerability. The widening WTI contango structure provides a clear arbitrage opportunity for traders willing to finance storage. Investors should closely monitor the Brent-Dubai Exchange of Futures for Swaps (EFS), which is turning negative, underscoring specific weakening in the Atlantic Basin. Barring a sharp, coordinated OPEC+ cut or an unexpected large-scale geopolitical conflict, pricing pressure should persist into 2026. Traders must prioritize futures spread analysis over simple outright price forecasting.
Tough resistance against the yenTough resistance against the yen
As you can see on the chart, it has reached tough resistance and there are signs of a price reversal in the 30-minute timeframe.
The downward trend of the RSI indicator can be a confirmation of our opinion.
Don't forget about money management
Good luck and be profitable
GBPJPY sells idea-GBJPY still ranging at the AOI, even the weaker UK employment data didn’t give us any further momentum to the downside.
We have UK GDP prelim coming out 6pm. If the data comes in worse than forecast and prior, this can add fuel to our sells bias so we can take advantage of the sell trade:
-Japan finance minister also recently mentioned around doing currency interventions if the Yen free falled too much, this would be good as it could further add to our bias of sells trade.
Fundamentals in Play:💡
-Overall Bullish on HTF on GBPJPY because of the main factor being the interest rate differentials, UK higher rates than JPY, This means higher yields offered by holding GBP instead of Yen.
-UK GDP data at 6pm - if we get weaker data than forecast, can play into our sells bias to further downside to complete our corrective move. This can signal that the BOE will be more dovish and further emphasise them for rate cuts in the next meeting especially considering there was 4-5 vote in previous MPC rate decision. Short term weaker GBP.
End of the 2025 Shutdown: Immediate Impact on LiquidityThe reopening of the U.S. government at the end of the 2025 shutdown is expected to trigger a swift return of liquidity to financial markets. This recurring phenomenon will have a distinct magnitude this time due to the specific conditions of the U.S. Treasury General Account (TGA) and the current federal funding structure.
1) A fiscal context unlike previous shutdowns
In past episodes, notably in 2019, the U.S. Treasury exited the shutdown with very low cash balances—typically between $100 and $200 billion. To rebuild this buffer, it had to issue large amounts of short-term Treasury bills, which drained liquidity from the banking system as investors used reserves to buy the securities.
In 2025, the situation is reversed. The Treasury holds a high cash balance—estimated between $850 and $900 billion—because the federal government’s account at the Fed (the TGA) was replenished at the end of September. This provides ample room to finance near-term public spending without issuing new debt. The result is an absence of pressure on money markets and stable bank reserves.
2) Liquidity injections from day one
With abundant cash reserves, the Treasury can promptly resume pending payments—federal salaries, public contracts, and suspended programs. These payments act as direct liquidity injections into the financial system, starting within the first weeks following the end of the shutdown.
In previous reopenings, this process began only after three to four weeks. In 2025, it could start as early as week one or two, significantly shortening the normalization timeline for market liquidity.
3) Moderate but positive market effects
This faster liquidity return should lead to:
• unchanged or slightly lower bond yields, given steady demand and the absence of additional issuance;
• a slightly weaker dollar, reflecting easier financing conditions.
Overall, this points to a quicker and more orderly normalization of the monetary system compared to 2019, potentially supporting risk assets in the short term.

EUR/USD Price Outlook – Trade Setup📊 Technical Structure
TICKMILL:EURUSD EUR/USD is consolidating near 1.1590–1.1600, following a six-day winning streak. The pair is trading within a range bounded by support at 1.1559–1.1568 and resistance at 1.1628–1.1637.
The short-term chart indicates that bulls are taking a breather after the recent rally. A retest of the support zone could offer a buy-on-dip opportunity, with the broader trend still mildly bullish above 1.1550. A break below 1.1550, however, could trigger a pullback toward 1.1500.
🎯 Trade Setup
Idea: Buy on pullback near support zone.
Entry: 1.1559 – 1.1568
Stop Loss: 1.1555
Take Profit 1: 1.16258
Take Profit 2: 1.1637
Risk–Reward Ratio: ≈ 1 : 5.47
Bias remains neutral-to-bullish as long as the pair holds above 1.1550, with potential continuation toward 1.1650 if sentiment improves.
🌐 Macro Background
The EUR/USD pair is holding steady as traders digest the official end of the U.S. government shutdown and assess mixed Federal Reserve commentary.
FXStreet analyst Akhtar Faruqui notes that “EUR/USD stays near 1.1600 after the official ending of the U.S. government shutdown.” 【FXStreet】
U.S. Government Reopening: President Donald Trump signed the government funding bill on Thursday, ending a historic 43-day shutdown. The development lifted risk sentiment but offered limited support to the U.S. Dollar, as markets remain cautious about growth implications.
Labor Market Weakness: The ADP Employment Change report showed an average weekly job loss of 11,250 through late October, while Challenger, Gray & Christmas reported 153,074 job cuts in October, nearly triple from last year.
Fed Policy Outlook: Market pricing for a December rate cut has dipped slightly — now 60% vs. 67% a day ago, per the CME FedWatch Tool — following hawkish remarks from Fed officials Raphael Bostic and Susan Collins, who warned against premature easing.
ECB Stance: On the European side, ECB’s Isabel Schnabel reaffirmed that interest rates are “absolutely at an appropriate level”, signaling policy stability. She highlighted that the ECB remains focused on core inflation, which remains near target.
The macro landscape remains balanced, with EUR/USD supported by stable ECB policy and a still-soft U.S. outlook.
🔑 Key Technical Levels
Resistance: 1.1628 – 1.1637
Support: 1.1559 – 1.1568
Psychological Level: 1.1600
📌 Trade Summary
EUR/USD maintains short-term stability near 1.1600 as the euro finds footing on ECB confidence and a subdued dollar. While the end of the U.S. shutdown supports a mild risk-on tone, Fed caution limits USD recovery. As long as 1.1550 holds, buying dips remains the favored strategy targeting 1.1628–1.1637.
⚠️ Disclaimer
This analysis is for reference only and does not constitute trading advice. Trading involves significant risk, and proper risk management is essential.
GOLD · Fed - slightly less dovish to hawkish tone - Previous months CPI data showed no reduction, increased from 2.9% to 3%, therefor during Oct FOMC, Powell had less dovish to slightly hawkish tone, indicating that they would like to see inflation come close to their target before considering any future rate cuts, also mentioned they will be data dependant and will need to see certain indicators (inflation) improve before can consider rate cuts. Since they wouldn’t want inflation to get out of hand again. This means DOLLAR stays bullish due to US yields remain high hence less investor outflows.
· Trade War optimism - Trump met with Xi and signed deals bringing optimism to markets, therefor investors back to risk on mode hence sell demand for safe havens.
· US shutdown - The only thing stopping us from expecting more rapid sells is the US shutdown which is still causing investors to be cautious and not as risk on, hence markets ranging a lot.
· Market whales betting on Poor US data - we know from recent headline that larger institutions are betting on the fact that the Fed will continue rate cuts even once the US shutdown ends because they think that the data will come in weak hence the Fed will have no choice but to continue its rate cuts to improve economic activity , This is the primary factor in play at the moment and hence the rally in gold since Monday.
GOLD-
1. Continuation buys if break and retest above 4220, targeting closer to previous ATH's.
2. If price holds below 42000 KL, can see more ranging and potential corrections to the downside for sells trades down to 4150.
Watching 4150 to see how price reacts, if confirmations for retests can take buys with trend for upside continuation. If breaks below, can play sells to lower demand zones.
XAUUSD – REFERENCE SCENARIO FOR NOVEMBER 13 – MONITORING ...💛 XAUUSD – REFERENCE SCENARIO FOR NOVEMBER 13 – MONITORING ELLIOTT WAVE 5 🎯
🌤 Overview
Hello everyone 💬
Gold is currently trading around the 4210 region, indicating that the upward momentum has slowed after two strong days of gains.
According to Elliott Wave, wave 5 may not have ended yet, and this area is becoming a strong resistance level – where prices could accumulate or adjust at any moment.
Besides technical factors, political news from the U.S. administration is causing significant USD volatility, leading to a wide fluctuation range for gold in the short term. Therefore, today it is crucial to prioritize risk management and monitor price reactions in the 4210–4260 region.
💹 Technical Analysis
📈 On the H4 chart, gold is approaching the resistance zone of 4210–4260, which also coincides with the 0.236 Fibonacci level and the previous FVG area.
🟣 A bearish view (ABC correction) will be confirmed if the price breaks below 4180 – targeting an adjustment to 4120–4050.
🔹 A bullish view remains valid if the H4 candle closes above 4212, in which case the trend may extend to 4250–4280.
🎯 Reference Trading Plan
💖 BUY Scenario (on breakout)
Entry: 4230–4232 | SL: 4225
TP: 4165 – 4190 – 4250
💢 SELL Scenario (reaction at resistance)
Entry: 4265–4267 | SL: 4273
TP: 4249 – 4215 – 4200
⚠️ Important Notes
Closely monitor reactions at the levels: 4246 – 4212 – 4260 – 4280.
USD is highly volatile due to political factors, which may cause rapid fluctuations in gold.
🌷 Gold is in a critical transition zone – Elliott wave 5 may soon conclude or expand further 💛
Be patient for clear confirmation, as even a small deviation at this stage can change the entire price structure.

XAU/USD OUTLOOK – TODAY 11/13/25The U.S. House has approved the reopening of the government, now awaiting President Trump's signature. This means U.S. economic data will gradually be released again, promising a week of strong and unpredictable volatility.
Technically, gold maintains an upward trend after breaking the H4 sideways boundary, but signs of overbought conditions and H4 peak divergence are emerging.
In smaller frames (M30 – H1), light divergence is also starting to appear, so BUY positions need to select favorable zones and avoid FOMO. SELL should only be short reactive trades.
🎯 Daily Scenario
Morning
Expect sideways movement ~30 points within the 4180 – 4212 range
You can WATCH FOR TRADING WITHIN THIS RANGE
if the price breaks through 4212, consider waiting for a retest back to 4205 to buy up.
Afternoon
Wait for gold to adjust to reasonable BUY zones:
4160 – 4162
4152 – 4148
4123 – 4120
If there is a strong adjustment:
Beautiful BUY at 4070 – 4040 (deep support zone).
🎯 Target increase:
4280 – 4285
4300 – 4305
🎯 Reactive SELL:
4255, 428X, 430X
(SL 10 – TP 10)
⚠️ Important Note
The overall trend remains uptrend, but attention is needed:
H4 shows signs of overbought + peak divergence.
M30 – H1 shows light divergence, indicating the market may have a short adjustment before continuing to rise.
BUY should only be entered at beautiful support zones, if you see a bad candle → close short and exit quickly.
SELL is only reactive at strong resistance zones, do not hold long.
Important day for EURUSDLast night, President Trump signed the bill, officially ending the longest government shutdown in history.
We’re now waiting for an announcement on when the delayed economic reports will start being released, which could lead to increased market volatility.
From a technical perspective, EURUSD remains below the resistance zone. We’re watching closely to see if a higher low forms, which would confirm a potential upward move.
XAU/USD BuysMy market structure is based off the 5 minute timeframe. It was just trading bearish as I got the sell but now market stucture flipped back bullish which aligns back with all timeframes which is bullish. I will be waiting for price to come back into my marketed up zone which will fill a 5M fvg and tap into a 5M Orderblock. When price gets to my zone I will be looking on the 1 minute for an entry if presented. Take profit would be the swing high. If pirce breaks and closes above the swing high before coming back to my zone, the trade would be invalidated.
Trade Safe, Remzy.
Gold Price Outlook – Trade Setup (XAU/USD)📊 Technical Structure
OANDA:XAUUSD Gold (XAU/USD) extended its bullish run, reaching a new three-week high around $4,213, before encountering selling pressure near the Resistance Zone ($4,210–$4,216). The metal is now consolidating, with intraday support forming near $4,183–$4,188, aligning with the previous breakout level.
The short-term structure suggests a potential corrective dip before another push higher, as long as support holds above $4,181. A retest of the $4,212–$4,216 zone remains the primary upside target, while failure to sustain above support could expose the $4,170 area.
🎯 Trade Setup
Idea: Buy on dip near support, targeting retest of recent highs.
Entry: $4,188 – $4,183
Stop Loss: $4,181
Take Profit 1: $4,211
Take Profit 2: $4,216
Risk–Reward Ratio: ≈ 1 : 4.23
A close below $4,180 would invalidate the bullish setup, suggesting deeper retracement toward $4,170–$4,165.
🌐 Macro Background
Gold remains well-supported amid dovish Fed expectations and lingering economic concerns, despite a stronger risk appetite following the U.S. government reopening.
FXStreet’s Haresh Menghani commented that “Gold hits a three-week top as dovish Fed bets offset U.S. government reopening optimism.” 【FXStreet】
Fed Policy Outlook: Markets are pricing in roughly a 60% chance of a 25-basis-point Fed rate cut in December, as weak job data and soft inflation expectations weigh on the U.S. Dollar.
Labor Market Signs: Revelio Labs reported 9,100 job losses in October, with government payrolls down by 22,200, while the Chicago Fed noted a slight uptick in unemployment — reinforcing the view that economic momentum is fading.
Government Reopening: The U.S. Senate’s approval of a funding bill ended the longest government shutdown in history, sparking risk-on sentiment in equities. While this reduces safe-haven demand, the weaker macro backdrop keeps gold resilient.
Fed Commentary: Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic acknowledged that the job market remains balanced but warned against easing too slowly, emphasizing limited inflation risk — a stance the market interprets as mildly dovish.
In short, while risk sentiment caps near-term upside, monetary easing bets and weak macro data continue to underpin gold’s medium-term strength.
🔑 Key Technical Levels
Resistance: $4,211 – $4,216
Support: $4,183 – $4,188
Psychological Level: $4,200
📌 Trade Summary
Gold remains bullish above $4,183, with the bias favouring a buy-on-dip approach. As long as support holds, the metal is likely to rebound toward $4,211–$4,216, following its breakout momentum from earlier this week. The underlying macro tone continues to favour buyers in the medium term.

It's the future in your handsBitcoin Price Production Cost
Based on current efficiency trends and average energy prices, the production cost is expected to rise to around $175,000 per BTC by early 2028, following the next halving. This level has aligned closely with past cycle lows, suggesting that if Bitcoin remains above its cost basis, its fair valuation could approach $200,000 by that time.
Extending this trend, the projected cost to mine one BTC could reach approximately $675,000 by 2032, assuming moderate improvements in miner efficiency and no dramatic changes in Global energy costs. Historically, Bitcoin’s price has peaked at multiples of its production cost, around 9x in 2017, 4.5x in 2021, and roughly 2.25x this cycle. If that diminishing pattern continues, even a 1.5x multiple during the 2032 cycle would place BTC at around $1 million, suggesting that the next major peak could arrive sometime in the mid-2030s.
Fundamental Market Analysis for November 13, 2025 EURUSDThe euro/dollar pair is holding below 1.16000, as markets digest US news, Federal Reserve communications, and the European Central Bank’s decision to keep policy settings unchanged. Reduced uncertainty around the US budget and the imminent return of key data releases help the dollar keep the upper hand. Against this backdrop, the yield differential remains in favor of the US, which limits EUR/USD’s upside in the absence of fresh positive signals from the euro area.
From a fundamental perspective, the euro is constrained by soft industrial indicators and weaker external demand, while the US resumes the flow of macro reports that can confirm resilient domestic demand. Investors are cautious ahead of fresh inflation data and policy signals, preferring currencies with steadier income profiles, which supports the dollar.
Industry commentary highlights consolidation below 1.16000 and sensitivity to incoming US headlines. Given the balance of risks and the current fundamental setup, the base case assumes a gradual drift lower toward 1.15350, with limited potential for corrective rebounds.
Trade recommendation: SELL 1.15850, SL 1.16250, TP 1.15350
LYFT 1W from losses to profit investors believe,but for how longLYFT broke out of its long accumulation range between $8 and $20 and is now consolidating above the breakout level. The “breakout + retest” structure remains intact, with $20–21 acting as key support. A golden cross on the weekly chart confirms a shift toward bullish momentum. As long as price holds above $20, targets stay at $33.33 and $48.48.
Fundamentally , Lyft is in its strongest position in years. In Q3 2025, the company reported its first net profit of about $46 million after years of losses. Revenue grew 11% YoY to $1.68 billion, gross bookings rose 16%, and adjusted EBITDA reached roughly $139 million (+29% YoY). Active riders climbed past 28 million, average revenue per user increased, and corporate and premium rides strengthened overall performance. Cash flow improved, debt levels declined, and operating margins continued to expand.
The main challenge lies in competition and pricing pressure from Uber, as well as in sustaining profitability beyond a single quarter. While optimism is reflected in the stock price, consistent financial performance is now critical for further upside.
Technically, holding above $20 keeps the bullish setup valid. Any pullback toward $21–20 may offer a buy-the-dip opportunity with targets at $33 and $48.
Lyft finally turned profitable - now the real test is proving that growth isn’t just a quarterly anomaly.
Stop Overcomplicating Trading: The Consistency Blueprint No One Stop Overcomplicating Trading: The Consistency Blueprint Nobody Wants to Talk About
Two decades in the market have taught me a very real truth:
Profit isn’t about being the smartest or catching the breakout. It’s about showing up for yourself every week; especially when motivation disappears and the trades get hard.
I’ve been at this 20 years; through bull runs, ugly drawdowns, burnout, and those quiet Sunday reviews where nothing made sense. The only thing that’s kept me in the game and steadily profitable? Building ultra-simple consistency habits that actually fit my life.
Let me give it to you straight: here’s how to move the needle, no matter where you are:
Forget perfection. Track what REALLY matters.
For most, it’s not a magic strategy—often it’s reviewing trades, keeping promises to yourself, and taking care of your brain and sleep before the next setup.
Pick 2-3 metrics and make them sacred:
For me, it’s weekly trade review, a “focus” score for my setups, and legit sleep tracking. I only look at these, period.
Make review time non-negotiable:
I set aside 20 min a week, never skipped. It’s my reset button after wins and losses.
Write out quick wins & lessons—immediately after they happen.
Let the good trades teach you, but also let the ugly ones humble you and anchor your next week.
Adapt your process to real life:
Swing trading while working? Happens. Family? Kids? You can STILL win long-term—just make the review and tracking match your schedule, not some internet hustle template.
Build the feedback loop
When you slip, note it fast and tweak (don’t obsess). When you nail it, reward yourself—not with risk, but acknowledgment.
How do you know it works? Because it’s kept me in profit while teaching hundreds of traders to turn routines into actual results.
If you’re battling for consistency DM me “Tools” or drop it in the comments. I’ll send my simple routines that changed the game for me and dozens of traders.
Let’s build consistency that lasts and celebrate small wins relentlessly.

AUDUSD – When Capital Starts Leaning Toward the BullsThe market is entering an interesting phase as Australia’s latest economic data brings renewed confidence to the AUD. Stronger-than-expected job growth and the RBA’s stance of “no interest-rate cuts anytime soon” have created a solid foundation for the Australian dollar to attract buying pressure. Meanwhile, the USD is gradually losing momentum as markets reduce expectations of a quick policy move from the Fed. This shift makes the AUD a more attractive short-term choice.
On the chart, AUDUSD has just broken above short-term resistance and is holding firmly above the 0.6560 nearby support — an important area the market may use to accumulate before pushing higher. The current structure leans bullish, with higher lows forming and clear buying interest each time price retests support.
As long as AUDUSD stays above 0.6560, the next target lies around 0.6620 — a zone that previously acted as strong rejection. This will be the level where bulls truly test their strength before deciding whether to extend the uptrend.
