Data Source Statement: All price and indicator data are sourced from the FxearQT Full 10-Currency Pair Technical Indicator Analysis Report, 2026-07-06 19:59.
Market Context
The past week’s US Non-Farm Payrolls (+57K vs +110K expected) and the upcoming FOMC Minutes (July 9, 02:00) and US CPI (July 10, 20:30) create a classic “data tug-of-war.” From my perspective, this isn‘t a market for blanket directional bets—it’s about picking the cleanest technical setups and respecting the calendar.
I’ve screened all 10 pairs against the latest MT4 data (collected July 6, 19:59 UTC+8). The top three signal-quality setups, in my view, are USD/JPY (long), XAU/USD (short with caution), and EUR/GBP (short). Here’s why.
---
No.1 Signal: USD/JPY – Long
This is the cleanest chart on my board. We have a triple-period bullish alignment (Daily, 4H, 1H all show EMA20 > EMA60), which is rare and indicates strong momentum. The RSI at 55.54 is not overbought, leaving room for further upside. The daily ATR of 718 pips supports a reasonable stop distance.
My recommended plan from the data is:
The BoJ remains dovish, and the US-Japan yield spread continues to favor USD. While intervention risks exist, they are a wildcard, not a trend-breaker unless we see a coordinated move. I‘m comfortable with this setup, but I would place the order at 162.070 rather than chasing the market, as the price is currently near the 4H high.

No.2 Signal: XAU/USD – Short (Cautious)
This is the most nuanced setup. The daily and 4H charts are bearish, but the 1H is turning bullish, and we have a bullish divergence on the RSI—price made a new low, but RSI did not. That‘s a warning that downside momentum is waning. The price is also extremely close to the 4H high (4202.87), which is a key resistance.
My recommended plan from the data is:
My Personal Take (contrary to a pure mechanical read): I would not short at market here. With bullish divergence and price sitting so close to the 4H high, chasing a short looks like a low-probability trade. I‘d rather wait for the price to test the 4H high at 4202.87 and fail before entering, or wait for a clean break below 4110 (Fibonacci 0.382) to confirm momentum. The 0.23 ATR ratio means the suggested stop is too tight for gold’s typical volatility. If I were to take this, I‘d use a wider stop or scale in.
---
No.3 Signal: EUR/GBP – Short (Strong Trend)
This is a textbook strong downtrend. Triple-period bearish alignment, RSI at 29.55 is in oversold territory, but there is no bullish divergence to signal a reversal. The price is also extremely close to the 4H low (0.85449), suggesting that the next break could accelerate to the downside.
My recommended plan from the data is:
My Personal Take: The BoE’s hawkish stance (Bailey’s “no conditions for rate cuts”) continues to underpin GBP strength against EUR. While RSI is oversold, in strong trends, oversold can persist for extended periods. I‘d favor a short on a bounce toward 0.8560-0.8565, with a stop above 0.8592. The close proximity to the 4H low means the market is pricing in a potential break; if 0.8544 breaks, we could see a quick move to 0.8513.

Other Pairs – Quick Takes
EUR/USD (1.14144): Daily and 4H bearish, RSI 42.76 weak, with bullish divergence. Price is near 1.14293 resistance. I’d stay on the sidelines here—the divergence suggests downside is limited, but the trend is still bearish. Prefer to wait for a break above 1.1470 or below 1.1360.
GBP/USD (1.33435): Mixed signals. Daily/4H bearish, but RSI 53.22 is slightly bullish with bullish divergence. Price is near 1.3320 support. I‘d lean neutral; the BoE’s hawkish stance supports GBP, but FOMC risks loom.
USD/CAD (1.42201): Triple-period bullish, RSI 71.55 (overbought). This is a strong uptrend, but I‘d be cautious adding longs here. Overbought can persist, but I’d rather wait for a pullback to 1.4200 before considering a long.
AUD/USD (0.69325): Daily/4H bearish, RSI 40.44 weak, factor consistency only 1/6. This setup has the weakest signal consistency. I’d avoid this pair until we get clear direction from China’s CPI/PPI data on July 9.
