EUR/USD 4H Technical and Fundamental AnalysisEUR/USD 4H Technical and Fundamental Analysis
EUR/USD has dropped approximately –0.7% over the past week following a sharp risk-off move driven by geopolitical and economic tensions. The major catalyst was President Trump’s announcement of a 30% tariff on EU goods effective August 1, which triggered a strong rally in the U.S. dollar and put the euro under heavy pressure. Broader market concerns also intensified as traders braced for further tariffs targeting sectors like copper and pharmaceuticals, compounding bearish sentiment. On our Technical Side EUR/USD recently broke below a major support zone at 1.1700, confirming a Change of Character (CHoCH) and signaling that sellers are now in control. After the break, the pair entered a phase of bearish accumulation, suggesting institutional positioning ahead of a deeper move. A liquidity grab was observed above the previous short-term high, forming a potential stop-loss hunt a common smart money tactic before a major drop. The market now appears poised for another liquidity sweep before triggering our area of interest.
A clear break and close below 1.16870 would likely confirm continuation toward the next minor support at 1.16270, aligning with bearish momentum.
📌 Sell Setup:
Entry: Sell stop at 1.16870
Stop Loss: 1.17140 (above liquidity zone)
Take Profit: 1.16270 (next key support zone)
These developments are reinforcing downside pressure on the euro, while the U.S. dollar remains well-supported by risk aversion and safe-haven flows.

Support and Resistance
Crypto 2021-22 Rerun?Crypto ex-BTC looks like an identical setup with high, divergent higher high, dead cat bounce, with the same level of resistance in play (both double top and 'right shoulders')
Shitcoins and crypto are much less popular among retail this time around, which has me thinking a FOMO surge to new highs is off the table this time.
I think there's a short setup here, but posting before a break confirmation has occurred anyway (so technically still neutral today). I dont trade crypto, but follow the trends and this just stood out to me enough to share.
US Small Caps: Evening star pattern flags reversal riskThe U.S. Small Cap contract often generates reliable reversal signals, meaning the three-candle evening star pattern completed Friday should be of interest to traders, especially with bullish price momentum also showing signs of rolling over.
Should the price push back towards Monday’s opening level, shorts could be established beneath the level with a stop above for protection. 2192 looms as an initial target, having acted as both support and resistance in the recent past, although the 200-day moving average found at 2176.7 screens as a more appealing target given its importance for longer-term directional moves in the past.
If the price were to close beneath the 200DMA, it may act as a catalyst to spark a deeper unwind towards 2133 or 2075.
Good luck!

Gold trend forecast for next week, continue to go longAfter the gold broke through on Friday, we started to turn long, and gold rose strongly. Gold finally rose as expected, and the gold bulls are still strong. If there is no major change in the news over the weekend, the decline next week will not be large, and we can continue to buy. The gold 1-hour moving average continues to cross upward and the bulls are arranged and diverge. The strength of gold bulls is still there, and the gold moving average support has also moved up to around 3330. After gold broke through 3330 yesterday, gold fell back to 3330 and stabilized and rose twice. The short-term gold 3330 has formed a strong support. Gold will continue to buy on dips when it falls back to 3330 next week.
DXY SHORT?
## 📉 **DXY Bearish Setup for 2025 – Fed Cuts, Fiscal Strain, Technical Breakdown**
### 🧠 Thesis
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) is poised to remain under pressure through the rest of 2025 due to macro, policy, and technical headwinds. With the Fed preparing for multiple rate cuts, rising fiscal imbalances, and a strong global diversification away from USD, the broader trend points **downward**.
---
### 🔍 Fundamentals Driving USD Weakness
* **Federal Reserve Pivot**: 2–3 rate cuts expected in 2025 → erodes USD yield advantage.
* **Surging U.S. Deficits**: Debt-to-GDP nearing 130%, undermining investor confidence.
* **De-dollarization Trend**: Central banks diversifying reserves (yuan, gold, euro).
* **Political Noise**: Tariff risk + weak-dollar narrative from Trump camp adds pressure.
---
### 📊 Technical Outlook (1D/1W Charts)
* DXY is trading below **9/20/50 EMA**.
* RSI \~43 with hidden bearish divergence.
* Clear **descending channel** since mid-2024.
* Key **support zone: 97.90 – 96.40**.
* Below 97.90 opens path toward 96.00–95.00.
---
### 🛠️ Trade Setup
| Type | Short (swing/position) |
| -------- | ---------------------- |
| Entry | Break below 98.00 |
| Target 1 | 96.40 |
| Target 2 | 95.00 |
| SL | Above 99.50 |
| R\:R | \~2.5:1 |
---
### ⚠️ Risks
* Surprise inflation → Fed pauses cuts
* Safe haven bid from geopolitical shocks
* Strong upside breakout >101.00 = trend invalidation
---
### 💬 Final Note
As long as DXY remains below 99.50, rallies are selling opportunities. Watch the 97.90–98.00 level — a confirmed breakdown could mark a fresh leg lower toward 95.00 by year-end.

GBP/AUD: Familiar support holds as global growth fears biteThe bearish unwind in GBP/AUD stalled in familiar territory, bouncing from 2.0500 in Asian trade, continuing the pattern seen since April when Donald Trump first unveiled reciprocal tariff rates on U.S. trading partners. Now, like then, the bounce likely reflects concern about the outlook for the global economy following the unveiling of 30% tariff rates on E.U. imports entering the United States from August 1. The headline-driven nature of the move overrides the deeply bearish message coming from momentum indicators like RSI (14) and MACD.
If the pair were to move towards 2.0500 again, it would create a decent long setup where positions could be established above the level with a stop beneath for protection. 2.0600 and 2.0700 screen as possible targets, although the most appealing target would be 2.0800 from a risk-reward perspective—that level has seen plenty of work either side of it over recent months and has the 50-day moving average located just above.
If the pair were to reverse back through 2.0500 and close there, the bullish setup would be invalidated, opening the door for bearish trades to be set targeting support at 2.0300.
Good luck!

ETH – $7k Target in Sight
7k incoming on CRYPTOCAP:ETH —timing is up in the air, but the chart looks stellar.
A decisive break above $3,500 should kick off aggressive expansion.
Meanwhile, ETHBTC has been rallying hard off its lows; I’m eyeing a 50% gain against BTC over the next 2–3 months.
Holding through this strength makes sense—it’s been a long time since we’ve seen these setups.
The impact of tariffs continues, shorting is expected to retrace📰 News information:
1. Focus on tomorrow's CPI data
2. Bowman's speech at the Federal Reserve
3. Tariff information outflows and countries' responses to tariff issues
📈 Technical Analysis:
During the weekend, the Trump administration's tariff information continued to come out, causing a large amount of funds to flow into the safe-haven market, triggering an escalation of market risk aversion. Although the collapse in the previous tariff remarks did hit the market's buying enthusiasm to a certain extent, the strong rise on Friday also stimulated the market's buying enthusiasm again. This, whether it is on the way down or on the way up, has attracted retail investors to a certain extent. As we judged on gold on Friday and the weekend, short-term bulls are undoubtedly strong. However, I think it is very dangerous to continue to chase long positions at high levels. Therefore, I tend to short-term and then consider continuing to chase long positions after the market retreats to the support level.
First of all, the CPI data will be released tomorrow. With inflation in the United States currently heating up, the Federal Reserve is undoubtedly resisting a rate cut in July. This has, to some extent, dampened the enthusiasm of bulls. Secondly, it is necessary to pay attention to the response of Europe and Japan to the tariff issue. Due to the timeliness, the current market expectations are undoubtedly limited.
In the short term, the RSI indicator is already seriously overbought. For today's operation arrangement, it is recommended to short at the rebound of 3365-3375. If the gold price continues to maintain a strong trend in the short term and breaks through this resistance area, it is time to stop loss. First of all, we should pay attention to whether 3355-3345 can be broken. Once it falls below the support of 3355-3345, we will need to see the 3330 line below, and it may even fall below 3300. Therefore, we also need to take precautions and follow up.
🎯 Trading Points:
SELL 3365-3375
TP 3355-3345

XRP – Dual Trends Active, Ready to Outperform - $7 Incoming
Two active trends on CRYPTOCAP:XRP right now—monthly and weekly confirmations are in, which significantly boosts the probability of hitting the first target.
Honestly, I see this outperforming CRYPTOCAP:ETH , though both are worth holding.
With both timeframes aligned, I’m expecting a strong move.
Targeting $7 on CRYPTOCAP:XRP and over $7k on $ETH.
HBAR – Key Level Holding, Trend Could Follow
BINANCE:HBARUSDT looks great here around 15c—a strong pivotal area.
As long as this level holds, there’s a real chance we start trending from here.
There’s a clear abyss below, so invalidation is straightforward.
Utility tokens might be next to move—keeping a close eye on this one.
ETH – Watching the $2,900 Trigger for ATHsJust need BINANCE:ETHUSDT to break above $2,900 for the next trigger.
Feeling confident it will chew through the current supply zone.
Plenty of other coins are already showing clear direction, and Ethereum should follow.
Be patient—I doubt ETH will challenge the #1 spot, but a move above $2,900 opens the door to a potential new ATH.
Nucor | NUE | Long at $120.17Nucor NYSE:NUE , a US manufacture of steel and steel products, will likely capitalize on reduced foreign competition as tariffs become reality. The CEO also recently stated that the steelmaker's order backlog is the largest in its history and is increasing prices. So, while there is a potential for short-term downside as tariff "unknowns" are negotiated, the longer-term upside may be there for those who are patient... but time will tell.
Basic Fundamentals:
Current P/E: 21x
Forward P/E: 15-16x
Earnings are forecast to grow 29.6% per year
Projected Revenue in 2025: $32.3 billion
[*} Projected Revenue in 2028: $39.4 billion
Debt-to-Equity: 0.4x (healthy)
Dividend Yield: 1.8%
Technical Analysis:
Riding below the historical simple moving average and there is risk the daily price gap near $109 will close before moving higher. If there is a "crash" in price, $70s is absolutely possible which will be a "steel" if fundamentals do not change.
Targets in 2027:
$142.00 (+18.2%)
$187.00 (+55.6%)
$POPCAT - Chance of Seeing $1 in Q3
Haven’t posted much about Solana coins lately, but they’re starting to show signs of life again.
$POPCAT had a clear entry right at the weekly FVG below 33c. From here, it either retests the Monthly Open or begins a slow grind higher.
It performed exceptionally well last year, so there’s a good chance to offload some around the $1 mark if momentum picks up. BYBIT:POPCATUSDT
PEPE – Strongest Setup Among Top Meme Coins
Out of the higher-cap meme coins, I’m leaning more toward $PEPEUSDT.
From a price action perspective, it’s showing more strength than CRYPTOCAP:DOGE , CRYPTOCAP:SHIB , and $WIF. That’s not to say the others won’t pump—but personally, CRYPTOCAP:PEPE looks the most appealing here.
The green box is a solid area to build a position. It’s held the trimester lows well and continues to test them while responding bullishly.
Let’s see how it plays out over the next two months—but I like the odds of upside from here.
MOODENG – Wave 2 In Play, More Upside Ahead
Might be a bit bold here, but I see OKX:MOODENGUSDT pushing higher as long as it holds the 13c level.
It had a strong impulsive move, and this looks like wave 2 of the current momentum.
Daily downtrend signals from the local high have already expired, increasing the odds of continuation from here.
If momentum picks up, I’m eyeing 40–44c as a potential target zone.
MOODENG isn’t done yet!
CHILLGUY – Ideal Entry After Retrace - 2x incoming!Best time to enter on $CHILLGUY—been waiting for a retrace, and we finally got it.
Anything near $0.055 is a solid buy if you missed the green zone entries.
The 3D chart is already signaling strong demand, and both downtrend signals from the local top have expired.
Expecting this one to trend faster than $BERT.
Targeting the Yearly Open for now—about a 2x from current levels. Will reassess after that.
BERT – Positioning Early for Post-July Breakout - 10centsMEXC:BERTUSDT may take a few more weeks before it starts to surge.
Slowly building a position in this area—there’s a weaker downtrend signal off the local top that expires around July 21.
After that, I see a solid chance for trend continuation and potential new highs into late July or early August.
Yearly Open is the near-term target, but expecting a move toward 10c by year-end.
