Today I attempted to buy USDCAD with a stop-loss order placed at 1.3712 and a take-profit order at 1.3751. USDCAD on the M15 timeframe: As the price began to approach the red moving average line, a slight rejection was observed. This indicates that the moving average is still functioning as dynamic resistance. This structure is quite common in downtrends, where the price attempts a pullback but is held back by the moving average line marking the seller's interest area.

Today I attempted to sell EURJPY with a stop-loss at 184.21 and a take-profit at 182.68. On the M15 timeframe, EURJPY shows several candles with long tails at the bottom, indicating buying pressure when the price drops too low. This indicates that buyers are starting to enter, but their strength isn't yet sufficient to create a major reversal. This buying pressure is slowly pushing the price up towards the moving average (MA). Currently, the price appears to be approaching the red MA line, but the increase appears to be weakening because the candlesticks near the MA tend to be small, with narrowing bodies and tails appearing on both sides.

Today I attempted to sell USDJPY with a stop-loss at 155.41 and a take-profit at 153.68. On the M15 timeframe, USDJPY exhibited numerous small candles with short bodies and tails on both sides. This indicates that buyer momentum is weakening and the market is entering an exhaustion phase after a small rise from the previous bottom. These small candles are often called indecision candles, indicating that buyers and sellers are both waiting for a clearer signal before deciding on the next direction.

Today I attempted to sell USDCHF with a stop-loss order at 0.7795 and a take-profit order at 0.7746. USDCHF on the M15 timeframe. Overall, the previous large decline resulted in a significant new swing low, then the price attempted a retracement with a small wave pattern without any strong bullish impulse. This pattern indicates that buyers are only making a technical correction, not a change in market direction.

Following this decline, the market moved sideways in a relatively long and weak consolidation pattern.

Yes, that's true, but for experienced traders, GBPJPY's aggressiveness can be a great opportunity because long movements offer the potential for quicker profits compared to calmer pairs.

Today I attempted to buy EURUSD with a stop-loss at 1.1857 and a take-profit at 1.1897. On the M15 timeframe, several small candles in a row near the upper resistance area formed a consolidation box or small flag pattern. This pattern often appears as a pause before the price resumes its movement in the direction of the main trend, in this case, upwards. There is no major reversal pattern like a strong bearish engulfing or a series of clear lower highs, so the chances of a deep correction are limited so far.

My open buy position on EURUSD today hit my stop-loss, resulting in a loss of $1.90. Looking at EURUSD today, it did drop briefly, then rebound. I believe EURUSD will continue to rise today.

Today I attempted to buy GBPUSD with a stop-loss order at 1.3661 and a take-profit order at 1.3714. On the M15 timeframe, judging from the candlestick pattern, the GBPUSD uptrend is characterized by a strong bullish candle without many long upper wicks, indicating solid buying pressure without significant resistance from sellers. After reaching the upper area, the price began forming candles with smaller bodies and several relatively balanced upper and lower wicks.

My open buy position on GBPUSD today hit my take profit, netting me a profit of $2.50. I'll continue looking for buy opportunities on GBPUSD today, as I see it still in a bullish trend.

Today I attempted to sell USDX with my stop-loss placed at 97.39 and take-profit at 96.80. USDX on the M15 timeframe. Trend-wise, the market structure consistently forms lower highs and lower lows after a bearish impulse occurs. Each time the price attempts to rise, the rise stalls at a level lower than the previous peak, then resumes its decline. This is a characteristic of a healthy downtrend. The red moving average line is also above the price and continues to decline, acting as dynamic resistance. As long as the price is unable to break through and remain above the moving average,

My open sell position on the USDX today hit my take profit, netting me a profit of $2.90. The USDX appears to have dropped significantly, even reaching 95.52. I believe the USDX will continue to fall today, and I'll be looking for selling opportunities.

Today I attempted to buy EURUSD with a stop-loss order placed at 1.1949 and a take-profit order at 1.2031. The EURUSD chart on the M15 timeframe exhibits an interesting structure, primarily due to a strong impulsive movement followed by a correction and consolidation phase. The overall trend within this structure remains bullish. This is reinforced by the fact that the price is well above the 200-day moving average (MA).
