Today, I am attempting a sell trade on AUDUSD, placing my stop loss at 0.7063 and my take profit at 0.7037. Looking at the AUDUSD M15 timeframe and focusing on price action, the rejection observed in the upper area provides crucial information, suggesting that taking a sell position is the safer move at this moment.

Today, I attempted to sell GBPUSD, placing my stop loss at 1.3508 and my take profit at 1.3477. On the M15 timeframe, after facing rejection at the upper level several times, the price finally underwent a rather aggressive bearish move. This decline represents the most significant part of the chart, as it indicates that sellers successfully took control of the market.

The sell position I opened on GBPUSD hit the take-profit level, resulting in a profit of $1.70. GBPUSD did indeed decline; although it had previously risen, it failed to break through the supply zone at the 1.3495 price level.

Today, I am attempting a sell trade on GBPJPY, placing my stop loss at 215.22 and my take profit at 214.76. The primary bias for GBPJPY on the M15 timeframe currently remains bearish. However, a bearish bias does not mean the price must continue to fall without correction; in fact, there is a significant likelihood of a pullback following a sharp decline.

The sell position I opened on GBPJPY hit the stop loss, resulting in a loss of $1.44. GBPJPY is currently moving sideways with no clear direction; it is best to wait for a breakout above resistance or below support before making a decision.

Today, I am attempting a buy trade on USDCAD, setting my stop loss at 1.3930 and take profit at 1.3960. On the M15 timeframe, USDCAD is currently in a bullish phase following a prolonged period of consolidation. What is most interesting is not merely the price increase itself, but the structure the price formed prior to that rise.

The buy position I opened on USDCAD hit my stop loss, resulting in a $1.22 loss. On the M15 timeframe, USDCAD is currently trending downward but is being held up by a demand zone; I believe there is potential for the pair to rise again.
