EURUSD — Waiting for a Breakout, But Divergence Is Brewing
Current Price (Bid): 1.15538 | Spread: 19.0 pips
| Indicator | Value | Interpretation |
|-----------|-------|----------------|
| Daily Trend | EMA20(1.14751) < EMA60(1.15003) | Bearish |
| 4H Trend | EMA60(1.15004) > EMA200(1.14733) | Bullish |
| 1H Trend | EMA20(1.15504) > EMA60(1.15416) | Bullish |
| Daily RSI(14) | 62.52 | Moderately strong (below 70) |
| Divergence | Bullish divergence | Price made lower low, RSI did not |
| Daily ATR | 0.00570 (570 pips) | Normal volatility |
Key Levels:
My Take:
I'm seeing a market that's stuck between a rock and a hard place. The bullish divergence on the daily chart tells me sellers are losing momentum — price made a lower low but RSI held higher. That's usually a warning sign for shorts.
That said, the recommended direction from the report is "wait" , and I agree with that call. Here's why: the 4H high at 1.15799 is only 261 pips away. We're basically sitting on top of the Fibonacci 0.382 level at 1.15546. There's no room to maneuver until we get a clean break one way or the other.
The euro has been under pressure from the widening US-EU rate differential. Morgan Stanley recently noted that the Fed's hawkish repricing (they now expect a December hike) continues to cap EURUSD upside. I'd want to see a daily close above 1.1580 before considering longs. On the flip side, a break below 1.1510 opens the door to 1.1470.
My Personal View (Different from the Report) :
The report suggests waiting. I think that's correct, but I'd add this: the bullish divergence is getting stronger by the day. If we get a positive catalyst — say, a softer US CPI print on Wednesday — this pair could rip higher quickly. I'm not entering yet, but I'm watching 1.15390 (the 0.618 Fib) as a potential long entry if we get a bounce off that level. The report marks it as "extremely close" but that's exactly where I'd want to buy — near support, not after it breaks.
CFTC Context: As of August 4, speculative net shorts on the euro stood at -58,091 contracts — a massive bearish position. When positioning is this one-sided, even a small positive surprise can trigger a short squeeze. I'm keeping this in mind heading into CPI.

GBPUSD — The Cleanest Bullish Setup on the Board
Current Price (Bid): 1.34937 | Spread: 24.0 pips
| Indicator | Value | Interpretation |
|-----------|-------|----------------|
| Daily Trend | EMA20(1.34088) > EMA60(1.33914) | Bullish |
| 4H Trend | EMA60(1.34315) > EMA200(1.33934) | Bullish |
| 1H Trend | EMA20(1.34839) > EMA60(1.34705) | Bullish |
| Daily RSI(14) | 59.63 | Moderately strong |
| Divergence | Bullish divergence | Confirmed with trend |
| Daily ATR | 0.00731 (731 pips) | Normal volatility |
Key Levels:
Recommended Setup:
My Take:
This is the cleanest setup I'm seeing across all 10 pairs. All three timeframes are aligned bullish. The bullish divergence is confirmed and moving in the same direction as the prevailing trend. The RSI at 59.63 has room to run before hitting overbought territory.
The entry at 1.34791 is the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement from the 4H range. I like this because it gives us a defined level to work with. Stop at 1.33950 is 840 pips away, which at 1.15 ATR is well within normal volatility parameters. The 1.36052 target gives us a clean 1.5:1 risk/reward.
What really seals it for me is the retail positioning data. According to the August 10 data from FX678, GBPUSD short positions among retail traders hit 83% — well above the 70% extreme threshold. That's a classic contrarian signal. When 8 out of 10 retail traders are short and the technicals are this bullish, I'd rather be on the long side.
My Personal View (Different from the Report) :
The report recommends a standard 100% position. I'd actually be a bit more aggressive here — maybe 120% if my risk tolerance allows. The combination of strong technicals, bullish divergence, and extreme retail bearishness is rare. The only thing holding me back is the 4H high at 1.35076, which is only 139 pips away. We could see a quick test of that level before any meaningful pullback. I'd consider scaling in — 50% at 1.34791 and another 50% on a break above 1.35076 with a trailing stop.
Fundamental Context: The UK's Q2 GDP report is due this week. Market expectations are for a modest recovery. If we get a beat, GBPUSD could easily clear 1.3600. The pound has been one of the better-performing G10 currencies recently, and I think that continues.

USDJPY — Bearish With a Caveat
Current Price (Bid): 158.374 | Spread: 22.0 pips
| Indicator | Value | Interpretation |
|-----------|-------|----------------|
| Daily Trend | EMA20(160.323) < EMA60(160.542) | Bearish |
| 4H Trend | EMA60(159.338) < EMA200(160.778) | Bearish |
| 1H Trend | EMA20(158.063) > EMA60(158.017) | Bullish (short-term bounce) |
| Daily RSI(14) | 31.64 | Approaching oversold (25 threshold for JPY) |
| Divergence | Bearish divergence | Price made higher high, RSI did not |
| Daily ATR | 1.457 (1,456 pips) | Elevated volatility |
Key Levels:
Recommended Setup:
My Take:
The bearish case for USDJPY is pretty straightforward. Daily and 4H trends are both bearish. We've got bearish divergence confirmation — price made a higher high on the daily but RSI failed to confirm. The RSI at 31.64 is getting close to the JPY-specific oversold threshold of 25, so we might see some near-term support, but the broader trend remains down.
The recommended entry at 158.884 (the upper end of the entry zone) gives us room to work with. The 2,010-pip stop is 1.38 ATR — well within normal parameters for this pair. The 155.868 target is a solid 3,015 pips away, giving us the standard 1.5:1 reward-to-risk ratio.
My Personal View (Different from the Report) :
The report recommends shorting from 158.884. I'm slightly more cautious here. At 158.374 current price, we're already 189 pips below the 4H high. The 1H timeframe is actually showing a bullish crossover — EMA20 above EMA60. We could easily see a bounce to 159.00 before the next leg down.
I'd rather wait for a rally to 159.00-159.30 before entering shorts. The risk-reward improves significantly, and we'd have better confirmation that the short-term bounce has run its course. If we don't get that rally and instead break below 157.80, I'd consider a momentum short with a tighter stop.
Fundamental Context: The BOJ's July meeting summary is due Monday (August 10). Any hint of hawkishness could push USDJPY lower. More importantly, CFTC data shows JPY net shorts have been cut in half to 45,473 contracts following the US-Japan intervention. The intervention was timed "at the seven-inch spot of hedge funds' massive long-dollar positions" — that's a clear warning shot. I'm watching the 156.00-157.00 area as a potential medium-term target if the bearish trend continues.

AUDUSD — Bullish Divergence but No Clear Entry
Current Price (Bid): 0.70653 | Spread: 24.0 pips
| Indicator | Value | Interpretation |
|-----------|-------|----------------|
| Daily Trend | EMA20(0.70051) < EMA60(0.70124) | Bearish |
| 4H Trend | EMA60(0.70212) > EMA200(0.70018) | Bullish |
| 1H Trend | EMA20(0.70584) > EMA60(0.70481) | Bullish |
| Daily RSI(14) | 60.33 | Moderately strong |
| Divergence | Bullish divergence | Price made lower low, RSI did not |
| Daily ATR | 0.00486 (486 pips) | Normal volatility |
Key Levels:
Recommended Direction: WAIT
My Take:
AUDUSD is similar to EURUSD — bullish divergence on the daily, but the trend is mixed (daily bearish, 4H and 1H bullish). The problem here is the entry zone. The price at 0.70653 is only 112 pips below the 4H high at 0.70766. That's extremely close. There's very little room for a long entry without chasing price.
The report recommends waiting, and I agree. The commodity currencies have been supported by the weaker dollar and the China recovery narrative. But with the 4H high so close, I'd rather wait for either a breakout above 0.7080 or a pullback to 0.7040-0.7050 before committing.
My Personal View:
I'm actually more bullish on AUDUSD than the report suggests. The 0.7060 area was the seven-week high — breaking that would be significant. Australia's trade surplus with China continues to widen, and the RBA has been relatively hawkish compared to the Fed. The report says wait, but I'd be looking to buy dips aggressively if we get a pullback to 0.7040. The China economic data on Friday (August 14) is the wildcard — any upside surprise could send this pair racing toward 0.7150.
Fundamental Context: China's July industrial production, retail sales, and fixed asset investment data are due Friday. As Australia's largest trading partner, any improvement in Chinese economic activity directly benefits the Australian dollar.

USDCAD — Bearish Bias But Waiting for Confirmation
Current Price (Bid): 1.39529 | Spread: 31.0 pips
| Indicator | Value | Interpretation |
|-----------|-------|----------------|
| Daily Trend | EMA20(1.40505) > EMA60(1.40099) | Bullish |
| 4H Trend | EMA60(1.40317) < EMA200(1.40545) | Bearish |
| 1H Trend | EMA20(1.39597) < EMA60(1.39874) | Bearish |
| Daily RSI(14) | 33.96 | Weak (approaching oversold) |
| Divergence | Bearish divergence | Price made higher high, RSI did not |
| Daily ATR | 0.00591 (590 pips) | Normal volatility |
Key Levels:
Recommended Direction: WAIT
My Take:
USDCAD is a mess of conflicting signals. Daily says bullish, 4H says bearish, 1H says bearish. The bearish divergence on the daily is a warning for bulls, but the price is also extremely close to the 4H low at 1.39242 — just 286 pips away.
The RSI at 33.96 is getting close to oversold (30 for this pair). If we get a bounce, it could be sharp. But the broader downtrend from the 1.4200 area is still intact.
My Personal View:
The report recommends waiting, and that's fine, but I'm leaning slightly short here. The 4H and 1H are both bearish, and the bearish divergence on the daily suggests the daily trend might be about to roll over. I'd be looking for a break below 1.3920 to trigger a short position. The next support is around 1.3860 — the 200-day moving average. That would give us about a 100-pip target with a tight stop above the 4H low.
Oil prices are the X-factor here. With the US-Iran Strait of Hormuz negotiations ongoing, any progress on a deal could send oil lower and put further pressure on CAD. I'm watching the oil-CAD correlation closely.
Fundamental Context: WTI crude has been consolidating around $76-78/barrel. The US-Iran negotiations are the key variable — if a deal is reached, oil could drop to $70, which would weaken CAD and push USDCAD higher. For now, though, the technicals favor the downside.

NZDUSD — Strong Bullish Setup, Similar to GBPUSD
Current Price (Bid): 0.58876 | Spread: 28.0 pips
| Indicator | Value | Interpretation |
|-----------|-------|----------------|
| Daily Trend | EMA20(0.58308) > EMA60(0.58117) | Bullish |
| 4H Trend | EMA60(0.58548) > EMA200(0.58140) | Bullish |
| 1H Trend | EMA20(0.58841) > EMA60(0.58789) | Bullish |
| Daily RSI(14) | 62.92 | Moderately strong |
| Divergence | Bullish divergence | Confirmed with trend |
| Daily ATR | 0.00470 (469 pips) | Normal volatility |
Key Levels:
Recommended Setup:
My Take:
This is the other clean bullish setup alongside GBPUSD. All three timeframes are aligned bullish. The bullish divergence is confirmed. RSI at 62.92 has room to run. Entry at 0.58761 (the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement) gives us a solid level to work with.
The 0.59048 4H high is only 172 pips away, so we might see some resistance there. But the daily trend is strong, and the divergence suggests the next move is higher.
My Personal View:
I like NZDUSD almost as much as GBPUSD. The only thing giving me pause is the positioning data. CFTC data shows NZD net longs were reduced in the latest week, which is actually a positive from a contrarian perspective — less crowded. The RBNZ has also been one of the more hawkish central banks, which supports the kiwi.
The 0.5957 target is conservative — I could see this going to 0.6000-0.6020 if risk sentiment stays supportive. I'd keep the stop wide though — 540 pips at 1.15 ATR is appropriate for this pair.
Fundamental Context: NZDUSD tends to correlate with global risk appetite. With the US dollar broadly weaker and China data expected to show improvement, the kiwi has tailwinds. The RBNZ's 2.50% cash rate (effective July 8) continues to provide carry support.

USDCHF — Bullish Bias But Bearish Divergence Warning
Current Price (Bid): 0.80829 | Spread: 26.0 pips
| Indicator | Value | Interpretation |
|-----------|-------|----------------|
| Daily Trend | EMA20(0.80963) > EMA60(0.80334) | Bullish |
| 4H Trend | EMA60(0.81037) > EMA200(0.80814) | Bullish |
| 1H Trend | EMA20(0.80874) < EMA60(0.80920) | Bearish |
| Daily RSI(14) | 48.64 | Neutral (slightly weak) |
| Divergence | Bearish divergence | Price made higher high, RSI did not |
| Daily ATR | 0.00594 (594 pips) | Normal volatility |
Key Levels:
Recommended Setup:
My Take:
USDCHF has a bullish daily and 4H trend, but the 1H is bearish. The bearish divergence on the daily is a red flag — it suggests the bullish momentum is waning.
That said, the entry at 0.80857 is the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement and is also very close to the 4H low. The overlap between the 0.382 Fib at 0.81044 and the 4H EMA60 at 0.81037 gives us a solid resistance zone above. I'd be looking to buy near the 0.8080 area with a tight stop.
My Personal View:
The report recommends a long setup but notes the bearish divergence warning. I think that's appropriate — we're not in "aggressive buy" territory here. The retail positioning data from FX678 shows USDCHF long positions among retail traders at 86% — well above the 70% extreme threshold. That's a bearish contrarian signal.
If the majority of retail traders are long, and we've got a bearish divergence on the daily, I'd be very cautious about entering new longs. I'd rather wait for a break below 0.8050 to confirm the reversal, or a break above 0.8110 with strong momentum to confirm the bullish trend is still intact. For now, I'm watching — not entering.
Fundamental Context: The Swiss franc is sensitive to risk sentiment and geopolitical developments. The US-Iran negotiations have been reducing the safe-haven premium on the franc. If tensions de-escalate further, the franc could weaken more, supporting USDCHF. But the extreme retail long positioning and bearish divergence suggest we're near a turning point.

XAUUSD (Gold) — Approaching Resistance, Waiting on CPI
Current Price (Bid): 4357.89 | Spread: 68.0 pips
| Indicator | Value | Interpretation |
|-----------|-------|----------------|
| Daily Trend | EMA20(4128.20) < EMA60(4226.60) | Bearish |
| 4H Trend | EMA60(4164.14) > EMA200(4144.88) | Bullish |
| 1H Trend | EMA20(4328.55) > EMA60(4278.93) | Bullish |
| Daily RSI(14) | 65.41 | Moderately strong (below 70) |
| Divergence | None | Price and RSI aligned |
| Daily ATR | 94.73 (9,473 pips) | Normal volatility |
Key Levels:
Recommended Direction: WAIT
My Take:
Gold has had a massive run. The non-farm payroll report from last Friday showed private sector employment dropping by 23,000 — much weaker than expected. Gold rallied over $100 to hit 4,371 intraday.
The problem right now is that we're trading at 4,357.89 — only 1,373 pips below the 4H high. That's extremely close in ATR terms. The RSI at 65.41 is strong but not overbought yet. The CCI on the 1H at 191.02 is in overbought territory, suggesting a short-term pullback might be due.
My Personal View:
The report says "wait" and I strongly agree with that. The 4H high at 4,371 is the immediate hurdle. But I'd frame it slightly differently: wait for the CPI release on Wednesday.
The market is pricing in a 3.4% year-over-year CPI reading (down from 3.5%). If we get a downside surprise, gold could blow past 4,400 very quickly. If CPI comes in hot, gold could pull back to the 4,240-4,300 area.
The World Gold Council has been noting record central bank buying in 2025-2026, which provides structural support. But the technicals are telling me to be patient. If we get a clean break above 4,375 with strong volume, I'd consider a long. Otherwise, waiting for a pullback to 4,300-4,320 for a better entry is the smarter play.
Fundamental Context: Gold's 2.77% rally day-over-day has been driven by weaker US labor data. The Fed is now pricing in a 44% probability of a September rate cut, down from 66% prior but still significant. If CPI confirms disinflation, rate expectations could shift further in gold's favor.

EURGBP — Bearish With Weakening Momentum
Current Price (Bid): 0.85612 | Spread: 24.0 pips
| Indicator | Value | Interpretation |
|-----------|-------|----------------|
| Daily Trend | EMA20(0.85544) < EMA60(0.85838) | Bearish |
| 4H Trend | EMA60(0.85607) < EMA200(0.85649) | Bearish |
| 1H Trend | EMA20(0.85647) < EMA60(0.85667) | Bearish |
| Daily RSI(14) | 52.71 | Neutral |
| Divergence | Bullish divergence | Price lower low, RSI held — warning for shorts |
| Daily ATR | 0.00263 (262 pips) | Normal volatility |
Key Levels:
Recommended Setup:
My Take:
This is one of the more challenging setups. All three timeframes are bearish, which is great for a short bias. But the daily RSI at 52.71 is neutral, not showing strong downside momentum. And we've got a bullish divergence on the daily — price made a lower low but RSI didn't confirm.
The entry at 0.85646 is the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement, which also overlaps with the 200-period EMA on the 4H (0.85649). That's a strong resistance zone.
My Personal View (Different from the Report) :
The report recommends a short from 0.85646. I'm less convinced. The bullish divergence on the daily suggests the downside is losing steam. And we're already extremely close to the 4H low at 0.85545 — just 66 pips away.
I think the better play here is to wait for a break below 0.8550 before shorting. If we break that level with momentum, the next target is 0.8520-0.8525. Alternatively, if we bounce from the 0.8555 area and break above 0.8575, I'd abandon the short bias entirely. The bullish divergence is a genuine warning signal — shorts should be very careful here.
Fundamental Context: GBP remains supported by expectations of a solid Q2 GDP print later this week. EUR weakness has been consistent, but the divergence signal tells me the pace of downside might be slowing. With the cross pair trading so close to its 4H low, I'd rather let the market show its hand before committing.

BTCUSD — No Clear Direction, Waiting for a Catalyst
Current Price (Bid): 65276.15 | Spread: 5000.0 pips
| Indicator | Value | Interpretation |
|-----------|-------|----------------|
| Daily Trend | EMA20(64341.80) < EMA60(65061.58) | Bearish |
| 4H Trend | EMA60(64447.13) > EMA200(64233.27) | Bullish |
| 1H Trend | EMA20(65063.62) > EMA60(64947.39) | Bullish |
| Daily RSI(14) | 55.24 | Moderately strong (not overbought) |
| Divergence | Bullish divergence | Price lower low, RSI held |
| Daily ATR | 1336.34 (133,634 pips) | Normal volatility |
Key Levels:
Recommended Direction: WAIT
My Take:
Bitcoin is stuck. The daily trend is bearish, but 4H and 1H are both bullish. The divergence is bullish, which suggests the downside might be limited. But there's no clear direction.
The 4H high at 65448.85 is only 17,269 pips away — that's extremely close in ATR terms. We need to see a break above 65,500 or a break below 64,500 before we have a clear directional signal.
My Personal View:
I actually think Bitcoin might be one of the better risk-on plays if we get a dovish CPI print on Wednesday. The macro backdrop is improving — lower rates = higher liquidity = better conditions for crypto.
But the technicals are giving me nothing right now. I'd rather wait for the break. If we break above 65,500, I'd look to go long with a stop below 64,000. If we break below 64,500, I'd stay away until we find a bottom.
Fundamental Context: Bitcoin continues to be driven by macro factors more than crypto-specific news. The halving cycle and miner selling pressure are the two structural headwinds noted in the report. If the Fed signals a dovish pivot, Bitcoin could see a sharp rally. For now, I'm watching the 65,000-65,500 area carefully.
