Back to $4 - XRP weekly update August 7 - 13thXRP is currently advancing within a Minor Wave 3, which forms part of an Intermediate Wave 5 — itself completing a larger Primary Wave 1. This alignment across multiple degrees of trend suggests that XRP may be in the early stages of a broader bullish cycle with meaningful upside potential. The structure of the preceding Intermediate Wave 3 is clearly impulsive, which supports the idea of sustained continuation. There is, however, some ambiguity in the early part of this current impulse — particularly in the development of Minor Wave 1. This leaves room for an alternative scenario that assumes a more complex correction may still be in progress. This would only be confirmed if the Wave 4 low is breached, thereby invalidating the current impulsive count. Sentiment and market data currently favour the bullish outlook. Funding rates are positive, showing that the market is leaning long, and open interest is rising, indicating increased trader participation. Furthermore, the liquidity heatmap shows a notable cluster of liquidity above current price, which could serve as a magnet during a third wave — typically the most dynamic part of an impulsive move. On a broader level, this anticipated momentum could also be fueled by macroeconomic developments. For much of the year, capital inflows into crypto were restricted by the Federal Reserve’s reluctance to lower interest rates. However, that could change soon: according to the CME Group’s FedWatch Tool, there’s a 93.6% probability of a rate cut at the upcoming FOMC meeting in September. Markets tend to front-run such events, and this expectation could trigger renewed retail buying — precisely the kind of sentiment shift that often fuels Wave 3 advances. Importantly, institutional players appear to have already positioned themselves earlier, as evidenced by the formation of order blocks near the end of Wave 2. This suggests that what we’re witnessing now may be retail-driven momentum building on top of smart money accumulation — a classic dynamic in developing third waves. As long as the current structure remains intact and the Wave 4 low holds, XRP is well-positioned for further upside — with the $3.50–$3.88 zone as a near-term target. The technicals, sentiment, liquidity positioning, and macro backdrop all point in the same direction: higher.

Trump’s Fed pick signals potential softer dollar US President Trump has named CEA Chair Stephen Miran as the temporary replacement for Fed Board member Adriana Kugler, serving until at least January 31, 2026. As expected, Miran is closely aligned with Trump’s policy views, including support for tariffs and scepticism over the Federal Reserve’s independence. Notably, Miran is a critic of the U.S. dollar’s current strength and is the author of the “Mar-A-Lago Accord” — a proposal to deliberately weaken the dollar to address the U.S. current account deficit. The White House is also searching for a new Fed chair. If markets believe the next chair will prioritise Trump’s agenda over an independent monetary policy (a safe assumption at this stage) investors may demand higher yields on U.S. debt to hedge inflation risk. That could add volatility to US pairs.

UNH : Stubborn is my First Name Hello friends, While stubbornness and determination are very different concepts, "stubborn" is more meaningful for events whose outcome we cannot predict. 1- First of all, hedge amount for this trade should be allocated to very safe and more stable financial instruments, at least 6-7 times the position size of this trade. 2- This idea is a continuation of my opinion regarding UNH. 3- I defend the following general view: This was a situation I carefully considered and formulated (holding UNH shares for the medium term). Therefore, a price drop will not change my opinion in any way. Increased costs are mentioned for some items, but their share of stock revenue is not stated. 4- Still valuable Risk/Reward Ratio 5 - Reasonable P/E Ratio and financials Let's not forget item 1, because it will be necessary in three situations: a- A major financial collapse in the stock b- A global economic crisis. c- Even if these are not the case, a gradual buyback (total x amount pos size) at 215 and 200 Parameters (for People who dont want to hold) : Risk/Reward Ratio : 3.00 Stop-Loss : 161.54 Take-Profit Point : 490.00 Best Regards.

EURUSD | Eyes on the 50EMA — One Bold Candle and I’m All InThe 1-hour chart has carved a beautiful bullish range from 1.1565 to 1.1696. A little 15-minute pullback tried to test our love, but I’ve got all the signs — the retracement is over, and the ride is calling again. WHAT TO DO Just one confident Marubozu closing above the 50EMA, and I’m jumping in — no hesitation, no second thoughts. Let’s ride this story back to the top. TP1: 1.1696 (where the heart first skipped) TP2: 1.1716 (where dreams begin) SL: If that candle speaks loud and clear, my stop loss will be just below it — because love deserves a little risk, but never recklessness. WHAT IF IT WONT CROSS? This is day trading setup. While watching 15m candle to bear below 50EMA also I glance 1hr chart. This setup will be valid as long as 1hr chart is still in bearing range. Wish me luck — this might just be the ride of the day! 💞📈

EUR/USD Bullish Outlook – Why the Euro Could Strengthen📈 EUR/USD Bullish Outlook – Why the Euro Could Strengthen EUR/USD is showing signs of a potential rebound, supported by both technical setups and shifting fundamentals. 1. Dovish Fed Expectations: Markets are increasingly pricing in Fed rate cuts as U.S. inflation cools and economic growth shows signs of slowing. A more dovish Fed stance puts downward pressure on the dollar, offering support to the euro. 2. ECB Less Dovish Than Expected: While the ECB has started easing, recent comments suggest a cautious approach to further cuts. If inflation remains sticky in the Eurozone, the ECB could pause or slow future rate reductions, which would support EUR. 3. Technical Support & Reversal Patterns: EUR/USD has bounced off strong support forming a bullish reversal pattern (e.g. double bottom / bullish engulfing candle). Momentum indicators like RSI and MACD are turning upward, signaling potential continuation of the move. 4. Improving Eurozone Data: Recent Eurozone data has surprised to the upside, especially in manufacturing and services PMIs. If this trend continues, confidence in the euro could rise. 📌 Conclusion: With growing expectations for a Fed pivot and signs of stabilization in the Eurozone economy, EUR/USD could push higher.
