EURUSD Upswing Slows at Key Resistance 1.1680
Hello everyone, EURUSD is clearly slowing on the H4 chart as it touches the resistance zone 1.16701.1680 overlapping with previous highs, a bearish FVG, and the upper edge of the Ichimoku cloud. Sellers reacted strongly, reflected in the H4 candle closing below the FVG, indicating weakening bullish momentum. Below, the market left empty FVG zones around 1.1620 1.1590 1.1560, potential support areas where buyers may step in.
On the news side, the USD is slightly stronger as investors await PCE data, causing a minor DXY rebound and pressure on the EUR. Eurozone growth remains weak with PMI below 50, while the ECB cannot ease. The Fed is expected to cut 0.25% in December, but confidence is not yet strong enough to weaken the USD immediately.
Overall, EURUSD is likely to adjust toward the lower FVG zones, initially 1.1620. Only a lower-than-expected PCE or stronger Fed easing expectations would provide enough momentum to break 1.1680 and target 1.17251.1740. For now, 1.1680 remains a significant barrier without a news-driven catalyst.

ECBs Simkus: No need to adjust interest ratesEuropean Central Bank (EC Governing Council (GC) member and Lithuanian central-bank chief, Gediminas Simkus, said in an interview in Vilnius during the European trading session on Wednesday that there is no need of monetary policy adjustments currently as inflationary pressures is close to the

Hello Traders!
What are your thoughts on GOLD?
Gold continues to trade within a short-term ascending channel and is now approaching the upper boundary, which aligns with a major resistance zone formed by the previous swing high. This creates a strong confluence area where sellers may become active.
As price enters this resistance cluster, we expect selling pressure and a potential rejection. Based on the current momentum, a clean breakout above this zone does not seem likely in the short term.
Most Probable Scenarios
1-A final upward push toward the upper boundary of the channel
2-A rejection from the resistance zone
3- A move back toward the lower boundary of the ascending channel
4- If the channel breaks to the downside, an extended decline toward the next key support level becomes likely
This week includes several high-impact eventsmost importantly:
The U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate decision,
which may significantly increase volatility in gold.
For now, it is recommended to stay patient and wait for price to reach clearer, low-risk zones before entering any trades.

Bitcoin - $95.000 before a correction?
Bitcoin finds itself at an important turning point once again after a sharp decline followed by a strong recovery. In this update, we will cover the reaction to the previous 4H bearish FVG, the newly formed 4H FVG inversion acting as support, the next resistance level around 95,000 dollars, and the recent liquidity sweep.
4H Bearish FVG Inversion
Two days ago, BTC made a strong downward move that reversed a large part of the earlier rally and collected deep liquidity beneath local lows. During this drop, a clear 4H bearish FVG was formed, acting as a supply zone. Yesterday, however, BTC reclaimed this entire FVG with conviction: the price broke through it and closed multiple candles above the zone. This shift flips the area from supply into demand, meaning the former bearish FVG has now transformed into a 4H FVG inversion. The green box on the chart now represents the primary support zone, ideally holding during any pullback.
4H Bearish FVG Around $95,000
Above the current price lies the next 4H bearish FVG around roughly 95,000 dollars, aligning with a previous consolidation and distribution phase. This region acts as strong resistance and is the next logical magnet for the ongoing recovery move. As long as the FVG inversion beneath price holds, it is reasonable to expect BTC to gradually move toward the 95k area. A clear reaction is likely once this zone is reachedranging from a brief rejection and sideways consolidation to a potentially larger reversal if sellers become aggressive again.
Liquidity Sweep
Recently, BTC briefly pushed above a local high and pulled back immediately afterward, creating a clear liquidity sweep on the chart. This move wiped out the stops of late shorts as well as breakout longs but did not yet lead to immediate continuation to t

Santas Not the Only One Making a List: How Yours Should Look
Remember the Trading Journal article we posted back in January? Its time to review that.
The Year-End Ritual Traders Love to Avoid
December is a beautiful time of year especially if youre a trader taking stock of a full year of wins, lessons, and the kind of experience you simply cant get from any textbook.
While most people are making holiday wish lists, you can make something far more valuable: a year-end audit of your own performance.
Before you look into the story of 2026, you should review your story of 2025 and decide which chapters deserve a sequel.
1. Start With the Big Picture: Your P&L Story
Traders love to zoom into charts, but this review starts with a wide-angle lens. Open your profit-and-loss statement (the whole thing) and ask yourself what story it tells.
Not: Did I make money?
But:
Where and when did I make money?
How consistently did I make money?
Where and when did I lose money?
Was your year a smooth trend or a choppy range?
Did profits arrive steadily in a diversified low-risk manner or in one giant lucky month thats now carrying the annual narrative on its back?
How many trades on average did you open in any given month? Were you slammed by economic data or actually traded events successfully?
If your P&L looks like Mount Everest followed by a ski slope, thats a clue. If it looks like a gentle staircase, thats another.
An honest P&L audit tells you who you actually are as a trader, not who you strive to be.
2. Month-by-Month: Your Market Seasons
Markets have seasons, and so do traders. This is where you break your year into 12 chapters and ask:
Which months were your strongest?
Which months were your weakest?
Did your performance correlate with volat

Hello Traders!
What are your thoughts on GOLD?
Gold remains in a strong long-term bullish trend. After establishing a new All-Time High (ATH), the price has entered a corrective phase and is currently trading below a key resistance zone. This justifies the selling pressure in the short term.
We anticipate the correction to extend further until the price reaches the optimal support area. This zone represents a significant Confluence of two technical factors:
* The long-term ascending trendline.
* The 0.5 (50%) Fibonacci retracement level.
The marked area (Green Box) serves as the ideal pivot point for the correction to end and the next bullish Impulse Wave to begin. Upon reaching this level, we expect renewed demand to drive the price toward new record highs.
This analysis is based on the Weekly Timeframe. Therefore, the realization of this scenario requires patience and time; it is not intended for short-term intraday trading.
