James Harwood's Trading Desk: High-Conviction Signals for July 14
It is 17:00 UTC+8, and the market is on edge. I have been reviewing the latest data from FxearQT's technical analysis report, and I want to share my personal read on the most actionable opportunities I see developing. I have a saying I use with the junior analysts, which is that the market is a game of probabilities, not certainties. My goal today is to highlight the trades with the highest probability of success, based on a confluence of technical, macro, and sentiment factors.

My Best Signals of the Day
I have spent the last hour cross-referencing the raw data with my own charts. The new data confirms several setups I have been monitoring, but a few stand out as having a significantly higher probability of success.
First on my list is Gold. The data is overwhelmingly bearish.
I am looking at a potential short entry at 4026.17, which sits at the upper end of the entry zone. My stop loss will be at 4051.17, and my first take profit target is 3988.67. This gives a risk-to-reward ratio of 1.50:1.
The bearish case for Gold is compelling. The data shows a triple timeframe bearish alignment. This is reinforced by a bearish divergence, where price made a higher high, but the RSI did not. My own read on the data is that the selling pressure is consistent with a market that is still in a downtrend. I am aware that geopolitical events can cause sharp reversals, but the technical picture is too clean to ignore. My analysis aligns with the current dynamics where a strong US Dollar, fueled by expectations of a hawkish Federal Reserve, is the dominant narrative.
Next is the USDJPY, which provides a near-perfect bullish setup.
I see a long entry at 162.068. My stop loss is at 161.023, with a take profit at 163.635. This setup also yields a very solid 1.50:1 risk-to-reward ratio.
What I really like about this trade is the confluence of factors. The trend is bullish on all three timeframes, and the bullish divergence is a powerful early indicator of continued upside momentum. The retail sentiment data I have seen shows extreme short positioning, which often acts as a contrarian indicator for a bullish breakout. The data is clear, a triple timeframe bullish alignment with bullish divergence.
For the EURUSD, the data continues to suggest a short bias.
I am targeting a short entry at 1.14075. My stop loss will be at 1.14709, and my take profit at 1.13123, for a solid 1.50:1 risk-to-reward ratio.
The EURUSD remains under significant pressure. The data shows that price is below its daily moving averages and the RSI is weak, which is a classic sign of ongoing selling pressure. The bearish divergence is a key factor in my analysis here as well. This trade is a direct play on US Dollar strength, which is likely to persist if we see any upside surprise in the upcoming economic data. I find that the macro backdrop is the most significant factor here.
A Personal View on the Data
I want to offer a few personal insights on some setups where my interpretation may differ from a purely mechanical read of the report.
First, Gold. The report suggests an entry at 4026.17, but I am very cautious about chasing this trade lower. The price is already extremely close to the recent 4H low of 3983.34. This means that the risk of a sharp, short-covering bounce is very real. While I agree with the bearish direction, the proximity to a key support zone makes the current risk-reward for a new short entry less attractive than it might appear at first glance. I will be looking for a better entry or confirmation of a break below that key support before initiating a new position.
Second, USDCAD. The report indicates a bullish bias. However, I am not fully convinced. The current price is sitting right on the 4H low, which is a concerning signal. Furthermore, the Canadian dollar is often influenced by oil prices, and with crude oil experiencing significant volatility due to the Middle East tensions, the CAD could see some unexpected strength. I would be cautious about a long entry here without seeing a clear rejection of the current lows.
Third, GBPUSD. The report recommends a "wait and see" approach, and I completely agree. I will remain on the sidelines for now. The market is showing significant directional divergence across timeframes, and entering a trade in this environment feels more like gambling than trading. I am looking for a clearer signal, either a break above the recent high of 1.34504 or a confirmed break below the support at 1.33405. For now, it is a "wait and see" for me.
Time to Act
My desk is ready. I will be focusing on these signals for the rest of the session. The data is clear, and the risk parameters are well-defined.
