J-USD
Gold - 4H Forecast ☀️ GOLD – 4H Forecast ☀️
Alright gold gang, let’s talk business — XAU/USD is setting up for something clean 👇
🧠 Bias :
Still bullish overall, but we’re chilling in premium territory, and this structure screams “pullback incoming.” Expect a retrace before the next rocket launch 🚀.
🧩 Technical Breakdown:
Price just printed a Buy-Side Liquidity (BSL) grab up top — textbook liquidity sweep before a potential correction.
We’ve got a strong impulsive leg pushing off a 4H + Daily demand confluence around $3,850–$3,880.
The 71% fib retracement zone aligns beautifully with that 4H demand, creating a prime reload area if price dips.
The volume profile gap (POI) also hints at untested liquidity sitting below current highs.
🎯 Trade Idea:
Entry Zone: $3,880–$3,860 (4H & Daily demand overlap)
Target 1: $3,970 (current high retest)
Target 2: $4,010+ (continuation into new impulse)
Invalidation: Below $3,830 (break of structure + demand failure)
⚙️ Risk Management:
Keep risk tight — 1%–1.5% max. If we get a reaction at the 71% level, partials at $3,950 are smart to secure profits before the next leg.
💬 Summary :
Gold just ran buy-side liquidity and looks ready to dip into discount before ripping higher again. If we get a clean 4H or 1H confirmation in the demand, expect another bullish leg to unfold.
EUR/USD - 4H Forecast (Full Breakdown Linked)🔥 EUR/USD – 4H Forecast 🔥
Alright traders, here’s the 4H play for the Fiber 👇
🧠 Bias:
Short-term bearish, baby. Price just printed a Break of Structure (BOS) after a clean shift in momentum from the upside. The bulls are losing steam, and sellers are creeping back into the driver’s seat.
🧩 Technical Breakdown:
Price rejected beautifully from a 4H supply zone around 1.1750–1.1770, confirming bearish intent.
We’ve got a solid BOS and shift, setting the tone for a potential continuation leg down.
A minor pullback into the 4H zone could act as the sniper’s entry area.
Below sits a juicy imbalance and SSL (sell-side liquidity) near 1.1530–1.1560, waiting to get cleared.
🎯 Trade Idea:
Entry Zone: 1.1700–1.1740 (4H supply retest)
Target 1: 1.1580 (mid-range demand)
Target 2: 1.1440 (major liquidity pocket)
Invalidation: Above 1.1780 (if price reclaims the 4H supply, bias flips)
⚙️ Risk Management:
Stick to your plan — 1–2% risk max. Wait for confirmation candles or lower-TF rejection before diving in. No FOMO entries.
💬 Summary :
EUR/USD looks primed for a bearish continuation unless the bulls pull off a miracle reclaim. Eyes on that 4H zone — rejection there could kickstart the next drop.
SOLUSD H4 | Could we see a bearish reversal from here?Based on the H4 chart analysis, we can see the price reacting off the sell entry which is a pullback resistance that aligns with the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement and could reverse from this levle to the take profit.
Sell entry is at 238.31, which is a pullback resistance that aligns with the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement.
Stop loss is at 253.39, which is a swing high resistance.
Take profit is at 216.84, which is a pullback support that is slightly below the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement.

Gold Futures (MGC) – No Pullback, Just Pure StrengthPrice never offered a clean pullback yesterday — just an aggressive continuation straight through prior structure. That type of behavior usually signals either institutional repricing or momentum fueled by broader uncertainty (like the ongoing U.S. government shutdown risk).
🔹 Bias: Bullish until a clear break of intraday structure
🔹 Current Levels:
‣ W-H: 3922.8
‣ M-H: 3899.5
‣ D-L: 3909.0
💡 Notes:
Price is extremely extended, but until we see evidence of rejection or a 1H BOS (break of structure), the path of least resistance remains up. I’m watching closely for a controlled pullback into demand — ideally near 3920–3900 — to join the next wave higher.
Still keeping an eye on news risk tonight; if the shutdown proceeds, volatility could spike and disrupt the structure.

EURUSD Last chance to maintain the long-term bullish trend.The EURUSD pair has been trading within a Channel Up since the April 21 High and today it came to the closest its been to the 1D MA100 (green trend-line). That is the trend-line that formed its last Higher Low on August 01.
As long as it holds, we expect a rebound, targeting at least Resistance 1 at 1.19190. A 1D candle close below it though, would be the first strong sign of a potential long-term bearish reversal on the market, targeting Support 2 and a potential contact with the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) at 1.13905.
The fact that the price is so close to the 1D MA100 makes it perfect for a tight SL strategy implementation on either case.

US Dollar at Risk of More Losses amid Shutdown Woes, Fed DilemmaThe US dollar TVC:DXY has been knocked by last week’s US government shutdown and the subsequent economic blackout. At the same time, the Federal Reserve can’t figure out what’s worse – inflation or job crunch.
After Congress failed to pass a funding bill, the government officially went dark at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday.
Traders, however, didn’t panic. Stocks climbed to fresh record highs , gold OANDA:XAUUSD popped, yields dipped — and the dollar slipped further into the red .
The greenback, usually the go-to safe haven during global turmoil, is acting like it forgot about that job description. With the Federal Reserve cornered between a slowing economy and stubborn inflation, plus fresh political uncertainty in D.C., the dollar’s shine is fading fast.
⚖️ When Politics and Policy Collide
Let’s start with the elephant in the room: the government shutdown. Historically, these dark D.C. moments shave about a tenth of a percentage point off GDP per week. In other words, the economy loses a few hairs — not a limb. But this one hits differently.
That’s because the Fed is already walking a tightrope. With unemployment creeping up ( 4.3% in August and lost jobs in June ) and inflation still running at 2.9% , the central bank has little margin for error.
The longer the shutdown drags on, the harder it becomes for policymakers to parse what’s real economic weakness and what’s just delayed government paychecks.
Investors, meanwhile, are pricing in a full quarter-point rate cut at the Fed’s next meeting and another one in December. The market is betting that Powell & Co. will prioritize saving jobs over fighting inflation. And that typically means one thing: a softer dollar.
📉 The Dollar’s Safe-Haven Cred Takes a Hit
Remember when the dollar used to rally whenever things got messy? Not this year. Despite trade tensions, geopolitical flare-ups, and now a full-blown government shutdown, the dollar has lost roughly 10% since January.
Part of that weakness stems from shifting interest-rate expectations. When the Fed signals it’s going to cut, yields on US assets drop — and so does the appeal of holding dollars.
Lower rates make borrowing cheaper, but they also mean less income for investors parking money in dollar-denominated bonds.
The euro took advantage, climbing above $1.17 as traders rotated out of the greenback.
Gold also basked in the dollar’s weakness, closing Friday at $3,886 an ounce — a fresh all-time closing high.
And just to rub salt in the wound, even cryptocurrencies have outperformed. Bitcoin BITSTAMP:BTCUSD , the digital rebel of finance, has gained about 35% this year and on Sunday hit a record high above $125,000 per coin.
🧩 Fed Dilemma: Jobs vs. Inflation
The Federal Reserve’s dual mandate is simple on paper: keep prices stable and employment high. But right now, the two goals are in open conflict.
On the one hand, the labor market is clearly slowing. August brought just 22,000 new jobs — the weakest print since early 2020. Revised data for June showed the economy actually lost 13,000 staffers net. Those aren’t the kinds of numbers that inspire confidence.
On the other side, inflation is still running above target. Core PCE, the Fed’s favorite measure, clocked in at 2.9% in August — unchanged from July but still nearly a full percentage point above the goal.
So what’s the play? Cut rates to support jobs and risk stoking inflation? Or hold firm, keep inflation contained, and risk a deeper slowdown? That’s the central banker’s version of “Would you rather.”
👀 The Fed’s Independence (and the Trump Factor)
There’s another layer of intrigue: politics. The Supreme Court just deferred a hearing on President Trump’s attempt to remove Fed Governor Lisa Cook — a Biden appointee — until January.
Cook can remain at the Fed in the meantime, but the episode has traders questioning just how independent the central bank really is under the new administration.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell, nearing the end of his term, has been caught between maintaining credibility and avoiding direct political confrontation. His latest move — a quarter-point rate cut in September — was meant to show responsiveness to data, not pressure. But optics matter, and the market is watching for signs of interference.
If investors start believing the Fed is bending to political will, confidence in US monetary policy could erode further — another potential strike against the dollar.
💡 What It Means for Traders
Here’s the breakdown:
• For FX traders: The dollar remains vulnerable, especially if the Fed confirms more cuts are on the way. Pairs like FX:EURUSD and FX:GBPUSD could see more upside. Meanwhile, FX:USDJPY might stay volatile as yen buyers return to their comfort zone.
• For gold bulls: Lower yields and a weaker dollar create the perfect storm. Gold looks strong despite charting new horizons, though traders should watch for a potential pullback if the Fed’s tone shifts.
• For equity investors: Rate cuts are generally bullish. Cheaper money means higher valuations — at least until inflation becomes a problem again.
• For crypto enthusiasts: A dovish Fed tends to favor risk assets, and Bitcoin could benefit as a hedge against both inflation and institutional confusion.
🧮 The Shutdown Math: Small Impact, Big Symbolism
Economists will tell you that a shutdown doesn’t tank the economy — but it does rattle sentiment. Each week of a federal closure trims GDP growth by about 0.1 percentage point. If this one matches the 35-day record from 2018–19 (during Trump’s first term), we’re looking at a 0.5% haircut. Manageable, but not ideal when the economy’s already wobbling.
More concerning is what a prolonged shutdown means for data flow. If key reports like nonfarm payrolls ECONOMICS:USNFP or CPI ECONOMICS:USCPI get delayed, the Fed will be in the dark heading into its next meeting — and that’s when mistakes happen.
Markets hate uncertainty, and uncertainty is the shutdown’s main export.
🧭 The Road Ahead
The dollar’s trajectory from here depends on whether the Fed can strike the right balance. If Powell emphasizes employment and doubles down on cuts, you may expect the greenback to weaken further. But if inflation surprises to the upside, markets could quickly reverse their dovish bets.
Make sure to keep an eye on the Economic calendar . September’s inflation hits October 15 and the Fed’s meeting is on deck for October 28-29.

Traders in prediction markets now estimate that the U.S. federal government shutdown could last more than a week and potentially extend into mid-October. These projections suggest that Washington’s political environment has reached a deadlock, making a swift agreement in Congress increasingly unlikely.
The shutdown began early Wednesday morning after Democrats and Republicans—along with President Donald Trump—failed to reach a compromise on a temporary funding bill. As a result, hundreds of thousands of federal employees have been placed on unpaid leave, and numerous government programs and public services have been suspended.
According to data from Bank of America, since 1990, U.S. government shutdowns have lasted an average of 14 days. Although the S&P 500 has typically risen about 1% during such periods, an extended impasse could weigh heavily on an already fragile economy and markets near record highs.
The credit rating agency Fitch stated that the current shutdown will not have a direct impact on the United States’ credit rating, which remains at AA+ with a stable outlook. However, the agency noted that repeated reliance on short-term funding resolutions reflects persistent weaknesses in U.S. fiscal governance. Still, Fitch expects the U.S. dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency to remain intact in the near future.
Fitch also added that a short-lived shutdown is unlikely to affect most public-finance credits, though a prolonged one could pose negative risks for bond issuers—particularly those dependent on federal funding in areas such as healthcare, housing, and higher education.
Meanwhile, UBS argued that concerns over the U.S. government shutdown have been overstated, predicting that its economic impact will be limited and short-lived. The bank advised investors to look beyond political noise and instead focus on Federal Reserve rate cuts, corporate earnings, and opportunities in artificial intelligence.
Economists at Citi expect the Federal Reserve to implement two 25-basis-point rate cuts in October and December, in line with its Dot Plot projections. However, the shutdown could delay access to key labor and inflation data, forcing investors to rely more heavily on private sources such as ADP reports.
Similarly, Bank of America forecasts a rate cut in October but notes that markets have already priced in this outcome, assigning a 95% probability for October and 85% for December. In essence, this projection merely aligns with the consensus that has already formed among traders.
In actual market developments, expectations have shifted back toward easing policies. Over the past two weeks, the hawkish pressure that had supported the dollar has eased, and markets are once again pricing in a lower-rate trajectory. Currently, about 105 basis points of rate cuts are priced in for next year, compared with a previous low of 94 basis points—a shift that favors equities while weighing on the dollar.
According to Daniel Pavilonis, senior commodities broker at RJO Futures, the government shutdown will not significantly impair the Fed’s ability to assess labor market conditions. “The Fed relies more on its proprietary datasets than on official government statistics,” he explained. “Even amid a shutdown, policymakers maintain a fairly accurate picture of the economy.”
After a week dominated by employment data—some released and others delayed due to the shutdown—the upcoming week is expected to be relatively quiet for official U.S. economic releases unless a resolution is reached.Instead, market attention will pivot toward remarks from Federal Reserve officials.
On Wednesday, the minutes of the September FOMC meeting will be released, offering deeper insight into policymakers’ views on the rate path and inflation risks. Then, on Friday, the University of Michigan’s preliminary Consumer Sentiment Index for October will shed light on household perceptions of the economy and their financial conditions—a key gauge for domestic demand strength.
In addition, investors will closely monitor speeches from several Fed officials, including Bostic, Bowman, Miran, Kashkari, Barr, and Musalem. Their comments could directly influence market expectations for monetary policy and shape trading sentiment in the days ahead.
USDJPY - Range Floor + Trend Support = ConfluenceUSDJPY remains overall bullish within a rising channel, while price has been ranging between a lower demand band and the upper supply.
We’re now dipping into the 146.0–146.7 support area, which aligns with the channel’s lower boundary — a classic confluence zone to hunt for longs.
🔑 Key levels
Support: 146.0–146.7 (range floor + channel support)
Resistance: 149.8–151.0 (range top / supply)
📊 Scenarios
Bullish 📈 Look for a higher-low / bullish candle from 146s → path toward 149.8–151.0.
Bearish 📉 Daily close below 146.0 would invalidate the setup and open a deeper pullback before buyers try again.
Do you buy the retest into the 146s, or wait for momentum to kick in first? 🤔
