Today I attempted to buy Ethereum with a stop-loss at 3080.96 and a take-profit at 3117.50. Ethereum on the M15 timeframe. From the current price position on the right side of the chart, we can see that the candlesticks are stable above the moving average and are no longer bouncing down. The last candlesticks appear bullish but are short-bodied with small tails at the bottom. This pattern indicates that buying momentum is maintaining control, but the market is temporarily holding back, as if gathering strength for the next breakout. The presence of a series of small candlesticks without significant selling pressure indicates that buyers still control the market structure.

Today I tried to sell Ripple with a stop-loss order placed at 2.1036 and a take-profit order at 2.0792. On the M15 timeframe, Riple candlesticks formed in the final phase of the chart tend to be denser and more stacked, indicating decreased volatility and uncertainty. Small candlesticks like these can be called indecision candles because they fail to establish clear directional momentum. This type of price action often occurs before a breakout from a consolidation box, either upward or downward.

Today I attempted to buy Cardano with a stop-loss at 0.38692 and a take-profit at 0.39518. On the M15 timeframe, Cardano, in addition to the higher low pattern, exhibits a mild bullish candlestick at the end of the chart. This is evident from the candlestick body, which tends to close higher than its opening, albeit still small. Candlesticks like this usually signal an early shift in sentiment, especially if they appear after a long sideways phase. Candlesticks with small lower shadows signal that buyers are buying on small dips and are no longer allowing sellers to exert too much pressure.

Today I attempted to sell Solana with my stop-loss placed at 137.20 and take-profit at 135.34. On the M15 timeframe, Solana's chart is further to the left. It can be seen that when the price spikes and then falls, the same line continues to hold the price movement. Repeated retests like this further strengthen the validity of the moving average (MA) as dynamic resistance. When combined with the overall downward trend, such retests often present selling opportunities for traders who follow the market flow.

Today I attempted to buy EURUSD with a stop-loss order placed at 1.1651 and a take-profit order at 1.1683. On the M15 timeframe, EURUSD showed a decline from its peak. This decline didn't occur in a single, large direction, but rather gradually, in the form of a steady pullback. However, over time, the pullback deepened, eventually bringing the price back closer to the 200-day moving average (MA).

Today I attempted to buy GBPUSD with a stop-loss at 1.3451 and a take-profit at 1.3500. GBPUSD on the M15 timeframe: There were no large bearish candles indicating strong rejection. Instead, a series of small candles with fairly long lower tails indicated a buying reaction in an area slightly lower than the consolidation price. This type of price action is usually interpreted as a sign that the market is gathering energy before attempting to break through resistance again.

Today I attempted to sell USDX with a stop-loss order placed at 99.02 and a take-profit order at 98.75. USDX on the M15 timeframe. In terms of candlestick patterns, there are no significant bullish reversal patterns such as bullish engulfing or morning stars. Instead, the patterns formed are mostly indecisive candles and several candles with long upper wicks, indicating that selling pressure arises every time the price approaches resistance. These patterns reinforce the assumption that the market is not yet ready to continue its strong upward movement.

Today I attempted to sell gold with a stop-loss order placed at 4568.15 and a take-profit order at 4613.34. Gold on the M15 timeframe shows the market remains bullish despite a temporary decline in momentum. The higher high structure remains intact, higher lows are still forming, and minor support remains intact. There are no signs of a bearish trend change, and as long as a large bearish candlestick breaks through a significant support level, the bullish bias remains valid.

Today I attempted to buy GBPJPY with a stop-loss order at 212.73 and a take-profit order at 214.02. GBPJPY on the M15 timeframe. A closer look reveals a bullish continuation pattern forming in the recent price movement. Small candlesticks followed by large bullish candlesticks create a pattern similar to a bullish flag or consolidation breakout. This pattern usually indicates that the market is preparing for further momentum.

Today I attempted to sell EURUSD with a stop-loss at 1.1664 and a take-profit at 1.1636. The EURUSD price structure on the M15 timeframe shows that the price previously broke through key support and formed a lower low before finally retracement upwards. The ongoing pullback is also pointing towards the nearest supply or resistance area, which could potentially become the next point of rejection.

Today I attempted to sell GBPUSD with a stop-loss order at 1.3465 and a take-profit order at 1.3436. On the M15 timeframe, GBPUSD's movement toward the moving average (MA) showed several elongated bullish candles, but the candle bodies began to shrink when the price entered the resistance zone and touched the MA line. This pattern usually indicates weakening bullish momentum and buyers losing steam after a push from the bottom.

Today I attempted to buy USDX with my stop-loss placed at 98.97 and take-profit at 99.25. USDX on the M15 timeframe: The price movement after the breakout above the moving average (MA) produced a consistent series of bullish candlesticks, followed by higher highs and higher lows on the M15 timeframe. This momentum indicates that buyers are starting to enter the market more aggressively after seeing strong resistance from the lower area. However, it's important to note that this increase doesn't appear to be an established uptrend, but rather a retracement within the larger overall trend.

Today I attempted to buy gold with a stop-loss order placed at 4619.68 and a take-profit order at 4642.50. On the M15 timeframe, the current structure of gold points to a higher low pattern that remains intact despite price consolidation. This is important because as long as higher lows remain, the uptrend is still open and has not been invalidated. As long as the price doesn't form a lower low or there's no large bearish candle indicating a strong reversal, the bullish trend is still relevant.

Today I attempted to buy GBPJPY with a stop-loss order placed at 213.28 and a take-profit order at 214.14. On the M15 timeframe, GBPJPY clearly shows the peak price area indicating increasing selling pressure. The last peak failed to break through the previous high, and subsequent candles showed smaller bodies and longer wicks, indicating uncertainty and the beginning of profit-taking by market participants. After failing to maintain bullish momentum, the price began to show a lower high structure, which is an early sign of a potential short-term trend reversal on the M15 timeframe.

Today I attempted to sell EURUSD with my stop-loss at 1.1621 and take-profit at 1.1593. On the M15 timeframe, after a large bearish candle, several small candles with upper and lower tails appeared on EURUSD, indicating a temporary consolidation or equilibrium phase. These small candles form an indecision pattern, but contextually, this pattern is usually just a pause before the price resumes its previous trend.
