Gold rose to the $2,040 area in the second half of Thursday but lost momentum. Despite the renewed weakness of the US dollar, the rise in US yields limits the upside potential for XAU/USD as market attention shifts to Friday's November employment report. Gold continues to move around the $2,025 area, still facing some bearish pressure after the sharp reversal from...
A FVG can indicate that IPDA is in a hurry to move price in one direction over another. This is an algorithmic footprint that we can see in price action. ICT often uses the analogy of an elephant stepping into a children's pool. Since the size and mass of the elephant's foot is so large, we will of course see a displacement of water. ICT uses this analogy to draw...
The GBP/USD exchange rate is struggling to stabilize above 1.2600 after closing the first two trading days of the week in negative territory.

The PREMIUM level (high) of the FVG should offer support in a bullish market if price has closed above this level. This level becomes even stronger as support if the FVG has been balanced/rebalanced. The DISCOUNT level (low) of the FVG should offer resistance in a bearish market if price has closed below this level. This level becomes even stronger as resistance...
The EUR/USD exchange rate recorded modest gains during Thursday's Asian session. However, the upward movement could be limited by renewed demand for US dollars and Eurozone data below expectations. On the 4-hour chart, the EUR/USD remains within a descending channel, far from the lower boundary, suggesting further downside potential. A break above 1.0800 would...
IPDA not only engineers liquidity in the markets by moving price, by design it has to offer fair value for buying and for selling. This too is based on its market efficiency paradigm logic. In some cases, IPDA may reprice too quickly in one direction over another, thus leaving an inefficiency in price delivery (A FVG). In order for IPDA to maintain its fair value...

Mixed U.S. data affected the yield of the ten-year Treasury, helping limit losses for XAU/USD. On Tuesday, gold saw buying activity following a reversal of $125 from the peak of $2,144-2,145. Despite modest gains, a definitive trend is lacking due to...

Tuesday morning sees a cautious market sentiment due to growing geopolitical...

The EUR/USD pair experienced a significant daily decline, with the...
