Technical Pullback Within a Downtrend
Hello everyone,
At this point, the downtrend remains the dominant scenario for EUR/USD. The recent rebounds do not signal a trend change, but rather look like technical pullbacks pauses that allow price to rebalance before the market decides on its next move.
After topping out around the 1.1800 area, price has continued to weaken and stays below both the EMA 34 and EMA 89. The EMA 34 is sloping downward and acting as short-term dynamic resistance, while the EMA 89 has also started to roll over, confirming that medium-term bearish pressure is still in control. The inability of EUR/USD to reclaim the EMA 34 during these pullbacks clearly shows that buyers lack the strength to shift the broader bias.
Price action further reinforces this view. Rallies into the 1.16801.1700 zone are quickly rejected, with weak momentum and no real follow-through. This is a familiar characteristic of a bearish market: rallies are opportunities to sell, not phases of accumulation for a new uptrend. At the moment, price is hovering around the 1.163x area, near the recent lows, and there are still no signs of a higher low forming.
From a broader context perspective, the US dollar continues to hold a relative advantage supported by stable US economic data, while the eurozone has yet to generate enough momentum to meaningfully support the euro. This imbalance explains why EUR/USD rebounds tend to be shallow and easily sold into.
Wishing you all smooth and disciplined trading!

Why Small Accounts Blow Up (Its Not the Market)
A question I see everywhere in trading is:
Can I start trading with a small account?
Like $100 $200 $300
And the honest answer is:
Yes, you can start.
But the real problem is not the account size.
The real problem is the expectation behind it.
Because most traders dont ask this question from curiosity.
They ask it from pressure.
The small account is not the danger the mindset is
A small account becomes dangerous when you treat it like:
- a rescue plan
- a shortcut
- a last chance
- a quick flip into financial freedom
That mindset quietly forces urgency into your decisions.
And once urgency enters trading, you get the classic spiral:
bigger lot sizes
no stop loss discipline
revenge trades
chasing volatility
I just need one good trade
Thats not trading.
Thats emotional survival mode.
What most people really mean by small account
Lets decode the real question:
When someone says Can I start with $200? they usually mean:
Can I turn this into a big amount quickly?
And thats where trading goes wrong.
Because the market doesnt reward hope.
It rewards execution.
The market doesnt pay you faster because you need it
Trading doesnt care if youre struggling.
It doesnt care if youre a good person.
It doesnt care if you deserve a win.
It only responds to:
discipline
risk management
consistency
probabilities
This is why many traders get emotionally exhausted.
They are not fighting the market
They are fighting reality.
A small account should be a training account
If you start small, the healthiest approach is to treat it like:
a skill-building account
not an income-producing machine.
Your job is not to

Gold bullish breakout
Gold is holding above the rising support trendline, indicating strong bullish momentum. A pullback to support could offer buy opportunities, with upside targets around 4771 as long as support remains intact.

More than excuse to sellS&P 500 and Russell 2000 had every reason to run following the favorable inflation data, yet they couldnt get their act together. Tariffs ruling, Powell situation and Iran have captured markets attention, and itll be up to tariffs news to probably generate some kind of risk-taking

EURUSD: Sellers Take Control Below Key Resistance, Eyes 1.1600
Hello everyone, here is my breakdown of the current EURUSD setup.
Market Analysis
EURUSD previously traded within a well-defined upward channel, confirming a bullish recovery phase after forming a strong base from the prior decline. Buyers maintained control by producing higher highs and higher lows, eventually pushing price toward a key Resistance Zone around 1.16901.1700. At this resistance area, price transitioned into a broad range, signaling a balance between buyers and sellers. Multiple attempts to hold above resistance failed, indicating growing selling pressure at the highs. Eventually, EURUSD broke down from the range, confirming a loss of bullish momentum and a shift in short-term market control.
Currently, EURUSD is trading within the descending channel and moving toward a key Support Zone around 1.1600, which previously acted as a demand area and a structural reaction level. This zone represents the next important area where buyers may attempt to slow or pause the decline.
My Scenario & Strategy
My primary scenario remains bearish as long as EURUSD stays below the 1.16901.1700 Resistance Zone and continues to respect the downward channel. Any pullbacks into resistance that show rejection can be viewed as potential short opportunities, with downside continuation toward the 1.1600 Support Zone as the first target.
However, a clean breakout and acceptance above resistance would invalidate the short bias and suggest a possible shift back toward consolidation or bullish recovery. Until that happens, market structure favors sellers, and rallies are considered corrective within the broader bearish context.
Thats the setup Im tracking. Thank you for your attention, and always manage your risk.
