Seasonality
Short term trade Idea USD/JPY (LONG)Using ICT concepts, I believe we are about to see an expansion on Dollar pairs.
I am getting in sync with this short term USD/JPY, aiming for my weekly short term liquidity objective.
I believe we are making a Tuesday low of the week and after reacting off that daily level, I think we are due to for some expansion.
Entry was on the high of the 15m BPR.
Stops will be moved to break even above Asia's High, 148.556
Partials will be taken @ 148.807.
Any questions, drop me a message!
JXY seasonality In the realm of market trends and seasonality, January in the JXY index has historically exhibited a remarkable 70% bullish bias. However, the current scenario defies this pattern, with the JXY index experiencing a decline exceeding 3% until January 22, 2024. The peculiar nature of January's bullish inclination in recent years can be attributed to the pivotal TOKYO CPI (Consumer Price Index) year-on-year data release during this month. Last year, the JXY index initially faced a downward trajectory in January, only to rebound following the release of the TOKYO CPI. This led to a positive shift, ultimately yielding an approximate 1% return. As the market eagerly anticipates the unfolding events, the upcoming TOKYO CPI data release on January 23, 2024, holds the potential to significantly influence the JXY index and shape the trajectory of its performance in the immediate future.
ICT Kill Zones Time Asia London New YorkIn the fast-paced world of forex trading, timing is everything.

These strategic time frames can open up a world of possibilities for traders who know how to leverage them. In this post, we’ll explore the concept of ICT Kill Zones ‘ times and how they can lead to high-probability trade setups and potential profits.
The ICT Asian Kill Zone Times: The Dawn of Opportunities
The Asian Kill Zone is the first of the strategic periods in the forex market. It is particularly relevant for traders dealing with the Australian dollar, New Zealand dollar, and Japanese yen pairs, as these markets are most active during this time.
What makes the Asian Kill Zone special is its volatility, driven by economic news releases that occur during this session. Traders who keep an eye on these news releases and their impact on the market can make the most of this period.

ICT Kill Zone on During Daylight Saving Time (DST)
Now, let’s talk about Daylight Saving Time (DST), which starts on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. During this period, Eastern Time is shifted one hour ahead to Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), which is UTC-4.
For example, let’s consider April 10th, and the time is 11:30 AM in Eastern Time (ET) during Daylight Saving Time. To convert this to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), you add 4 hours to the local time:
11:30 AM ET (UTC-4) + 4 hours = 3:30 PM UTC
During Daylight Saving Time, the clocks are adjusted forward by one hour, giving us an extra hour of daylight in the evenings. When Daylight Saving Time ends, we set the clocks back by one hour to return to Eastern Standard Time.

To set the correct time zone, click on it, and choose “UTC-5” during regular days (Standard Time) and “UTC-4” during daylight saving time, which typically occurs from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November.

Corn descent: not done yet?If you're looking at corn futures waiting for the price to bottom out, you might have a while longer to wait. Recall that prices didn't firm last year until the end of May.
Yes, prices are lower now, but they've only just breached the high end of the USD3.00-4.50 range where they spent most of their time for several years after 2013.
For now, we'd leave it in the elevator.
EURUSD - Long Term Investors Should ShortLong-Term Investors on EURUSD Should Short or wait until March/April
Historical Characteristics of EURUSD:
- The price goes up for around 9 or 10 months
- The price continues to go down for ~20 months
Current Scenario:
- The price has completed 9 months of a Bullish trend
- The price will continue to go down by the middle of 2025
- The long-term investors should consider taking #short on EURUSD
Some thoughts:
- The price will close below '1.103' in January
- The price will continue to go down in February
- We will see some bulls coming in the market in March & April
- And then price may continue to move down for ~20 months
GBP JPY - Fresh supply since 2016, what now?G'day,
Firstly, welcome back to 2024. It's been a good start with some great consolidative moves within trading ranges, but now let's see the longer term movements for this pair of focus. GBP JPY.

$STX on BTC halving yearSTX brings a lot of improvements this year, that could start more demand, the Nakamoto Upgrade will bring more speed on Transactions and lower fees, the blooming #Bitcoin ecosystem will be the hype of the bull market IMO
The Nakamoto upgrade will bring more Defi and new tokens, maybe airdrops, hyped NFTs... etc etc
All of this creates demand that will be felt on price increase or small correction, so i am expecting at least $1,20 as retrace, if we gets closer to a dollar it will be realy good...
DXY EofW AnalysisWe have finished the week in an overall consolidation, weekly profile. Due to the break of structure and price being in a discount from the Monthly range. We can expect for the Dollar to go into a deep premium from the Daily range. For next week we can expect an open and drop scenario at the beginning of the week, to probable create the LOW during MTW trading sessions.
China Property Stimulus to Boost Aus200 IndexThe recent announcement of a stimulus package by the Chinese government to boost the property sector is expected to have a positive impact on the Australian stock market, particularly the Aus200 index. The stimulus package includes measures such as lower down payments for home purchases and tax breaks for developers. These measures are expected to increase demand for property in China, which will in turn benefit Australian companies that export goods and services to the Chinese market.
In addition, the stimulus package is also expected to boost the Chinese economy, which is Australia's largest trading partner. A stronger Chinese economy will mean more demand for Australian goods and services, which will support corporate profits and earnings growth. As a result, the Aus200 index is expected to rise in the coming months.
Of course, there are also some risks associated with the China property stimulus. If the stimulus is too successful, it could lead to an overheating of the Chinese economy and a resurgence of inflation. This would be negative for Australian companies that export to China, as it would make their goods and services less competitive. However, at this stage, it appears that the risks are outweighed by the potential rewards.
Overall, the China property stimulus is a positive development for the Australian stock market. The stimulus is expected to boost demand for Australian goods and services, support corporate profits and earnings growth, and lift the Aus200 index.

Controlled Sideways Trends Ahead of EarningsThe Giant Banks and Credit Card companies benefit the most from the Federal Reserve Board's overnight interest rate hikes. As the FRB increases its lending rate, it allows big banks and credit companies to increase their interest rates to consumers, small businesses, etc. That usually means higher revenues.
NYSE:V is in a sideways trend that is not as consistent as would be ideal ahead of its earnings report in about 3 weeks. However, HFTs are aware of the tendency for credit card companies to prosper during high interest-rate markets.
Study the candlestick patterns: Note the quick reversal back down after a higher price level was reached. Note the rebound the same day when price dropped out of the lows of this sideways trend. There is control in this pattern which is typical of Professional trading activity.
Where is the bottom for soybeans? Soybean futures are off to a rough start in 2024. In the first week of trading, March soybeans were down nearly 42 cents on the back of beneficial rains sweeping Central Brazil. Selling pressure permeated into Monday’s session as well, with soybeans trading down into the mid 1230’s. So, the question now becomes, will March soybeans make new contract lows?
Fundamental Snapshot :
Monday’s lower price action is not all that surprising considering U.S. export inspections for soybeans were reported at 675k metric tons - below average trade estimates. Meanwhile, Brazil has been exporting both corn and soybeans at record paces each of the past two years, and is expected to have a record or near-record soybean crop this year as well. Wednesday, CONAB will release data pertaining to their estimations of corn and soybeans. Currently, they are less optimistic about the state of the Brazilian soybean crop than the USDA, and USDA will release their World Agricultural Supply and Demand Expectations report on Friday. If we see sweeping downward adjustments to production estimates from both CONAB and USDA, it may help soybeans find a bottom. However, if the market is disappointed in the data released this week, we may see soybeans test 1200 sooner rather than later.
Technical Outlook :
After last week’s precipitous drop, it was surprising that March beans failed to enter oversold territory. However, it did not take long to break into OS territory on Monday’s session. The head-and-shoulders pattern that’s developed over the past fiscal quarter has a difference of approximately $1.20/bu, which puts an operative price target between 1198 and 1208. That also happens to be the 78.6% retracement level between the mid-June lows and late-July highs. Markets can stay in overbought/oversold territory for extended periods of time, so if data disappoints this week, we may see the head-and-shoulders reach its price target. However, a positive reception to fundamental data this week may serve as a launching pad for soybeans to start moving higher.

GME 50 EMA DefenseGME came alive in December and is currently retracing back to the 50 EMA. Things to consider, volume has been drying up since the initial move in late November, $15.41 is a strong level of support, but below that there's the gap all the way down to $13.55. January is usually a great month for this stock, but I'd love to see it defend the 50 EMA and the $15.41 level before going long. A bounce off support and a reclaim of the 50 EMA would be very bullish in my opinion
All Time Highs Is Coming !Firstly, based on todays data we are seeing an uptick in the jobless claims, which basically means the FED has done enough to cool off the economy. So no further rate hikes are expected. Thus initializing the much expected year end rally.
Secondly, by looking at the technicals using Elliot Wave it hints that the correction for the wave 4 is over and expect this to hit ATHs by year end.

XPT/USD - Platinum OZ/USD - Retest & Break Out IdeaI would like to share my thoughts with you.
The Idea is that after Head Shoulder Formation is now the Retest of SHS and confirmation of break out. That idea is supported by the seasonality of Platinum.
I think its possible to reach minimum Target1 if Platinum is not overbought then its also possible to reach target 2 untill 21 th February.
After 21th February I think we will see a correction.
Thx we'll see wish u all the best
BLNK Short Squeeze OpportunityLoving BLNK here. Sitting nicely on 3 moving averages on the 65min chart. Chopping away on a launch pad. Inside day candle and 30% short interest. Could be explosive if it decides to go. Love small cap squeezes at year end too as hedge funds try to pad the stats a bit. In at $3.36. No target as of now.
BCH update [ MAJOR LIQUIDATION]At the moment, price is still retesting the current midvwap, but as soon as price break below 215$, sells towards 150$ come in play. On the other hand, price can still retest the current high at around 260$, but only if price manages to break above 290$ we shall start looking for buys continuation. Until then sells are more valid than buys, simply because liquidity has to be mitigated first.
