USD/CAD Breakout + Continuation SetupIn this video, I'm looking at a simple but powerful trading setup on the $USDCAD.
✅ The pair has been in consolidation, building pressure
✅ A Head and Shoulders pattern has formed
✅ A violation of the current resistance level could trigger a bullish continuation
If we get that breakout, it could set up a clean opportunity for trend continuation traders via the breakout or breakout and pullback

Loss of Momentum Pattern Into StructureSimilar to the OANDA:GBPJPY that I shared, the OANDA:EURAUD has put in a pretty aggressive and direct move into a previous level of structure. However, what makes this opportunity different than "the beast" is that as price approach our level of resistance we started to put in a rising channel which is a loss of momentum pattern along with other clues such as divergence on the RSI.

Educational: how to spot bitcoin tops before they happenBitcoin is rising, but how far can it go? In this video, I walk through key tools to spot local tops, including funding rates, Twitter sentiment, and pattern targets. We also discuss setups in XRP and Solana, and what to watch ahead of the US crypto regulation update on July 22.
XRP breaks out: 19% rally in sightXRP has just broken out of an inverse head and shoulders pattern, a classic bullish setup that points to a potential 19% rally. The breakout comes at a time when the US is expected to deliver key crypto regulation updates by July 22. If the legal outcome is positive, it could fuel further upside not only in XRP but across the broader crypto market. This setup offers a strong risk-to-reward profile, especially if Bitcoin also breaks out of its current rectangle pattern.

ETH | BULLISH Pattern | $3K NEXT ??Ethereum has established a clear bullish pattern in the daily as we're seeing an inverse H&S:
The war issues across the globe must also be considered. So far, it's been bullish for crypto but this can also change overnight since it's a very volatile situation - and crypto being a very volatile asset.
For the near term, I believe ETH is due for another increase - at least beyond the current shoulder. This is IF we hold the current support zone:
It seems to be a bit of a slow burn with ETH for this season's ATH. In the ideal world, we'd either:
📢 consolidate under resistance (bullish)
📢make a flag (bullish)
📢OR smash right through the resistance.
But there's likely going to be heavy selling pressure around that zone.

* ISM and Fairclaim: 48.5 vs 49.5
* Jobless claims hit 2025 highs
But today’s jobs report calms the panic.

NFP Setups: Dow Breakout or USDJPY Breakdown?Big moves ahead? Friday’s Non-Farm Payrolls could be the trigger. ADP came in weak, jobless claims spiked, and ISM data disappointed. Now all eyes are on the Dow Jones and USDJPY. A strong NFP could send the Dow to new highs, while a weak one may sink USDJPY toward the 2025 low.
