July Seasonality Patterns For Index, Metals and ForexSeasonality can be a useful tool if used wisely (and in context) with current sentiment and news flows. Seasonality really is a backwards looking indicator that can easily be overpowered by key macro drivers. But its strength comes in to play when seasonality aligns with the macro landscape.
With that in mind, I share my seasonality matrix for indices, metals and USD FX pairs to highlight potential patterns for July, then wrap up with an update on my Nasdaq 100 analysis.

Gold Trading Strategy for 500 Pips !Dear friends!
The exit from the bearish channel has led to an impressive price increase. At the time of writing, the financial market is trading above the $3,300 mark. The uptrend is very strong as it consolidates at high levels with stable trading activity on the 2-hour time frame.
Therefore, the upcoming reports on US employment and manufacturing are highly anticipated. This has contributed to the market being hotter than ever. The price increase is expected to reach $3,385, if the Fed signals monetary policy easing. What do you think about this? Do you agree with me?
Gold (XAUUSD) – July 1 Analysis📍 H4 Key LH Zone: 3348.500 – 3350.500
This is a major decision zone.
Current market structure:
🔸 M15 is in an uptrend with confirmed ChoCh + BoS
What to watch:
We’re approaching the H4 LH supply zone — now we observe how price behaves here.
🔹 If price breaks above this H4 LH zone:
→ HTF and LTF trends align to the upside
→ Potential continuation of the bullish move
🔹 If price respects and stays below this LH zone:
→ Then this recent up-move could be a pullback
→ We may see a new low forming — so be cautious
📍 M15 Zones for Long Setup (if confirmed):
• 3309.500 – 3312.500 (Order Block Zone)
• 3302.500 – 3304.600 (Demand Zone)
We will watch these levels closely.
If price respects these zones and gives M1 confirmation (ChoCh + BoS) — we’ll plan for long entries accordingly.
📖 Let structure guide your decisions. Let price speak first.

EURJPY Readies Triangle Breakout w/ Elliot WaveOANDA:EURJPY has formed a Triangle Pattern with a Rising Support and Resistance Zone @ 169.5 - 169.7 area.
After the False Breakout last week on Friday, we see Price falls back within the Pattern and finds strong Resistance from the zone.
Now based from the High - to Low - to Lower High where price made a 50% - 61.8% Retracement, we can plot the Trend Based-Fib Tool that suggests with the change of trend ( Price printing a Lower High ) we can expect Lower Prices to come and potentially a Bearish Breakout to the pattern!
First we will want to see where the next Lower Low will be ( currently @ 168.934 ) then wait for a Retracement to a favorable Fibonacci Level based from the Lower High to Lower Low.
Fundamentally, the EUR will have CPI Flash Estimates on Tuesday, and multiple Services PMI on Thursday with ECB President Lagarde speaking Tuesday and Wednesday. This could add volatility!!
Stay Tuned!
Possible MTR in Play (TBC)Gold has printed a textbook structure for a potential Major Trend Reversal (MTR) off the ATH zone, with a clean rejection and a shift in character. The descending trendline from the top aligns with lower highs, while the ascending base from April is now under pressure.
📌 Key Levels to Watch:
3,280.0 – neckline of the potential MTR
3,250.00 – psychological magnet and structural support
3,000.00 – major downside target if the reversal confirms
🧠 “Markets top on euphoria, not logic.” If price breaks and retests the neckline with momentum, the MTR thesis gains traction. Until then — TBC.

AUD/USD Approaches Key Resistance with Bullish Momentum IntactAUD/USD has extended its steady climb and is now challenging the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level (0.6558) from the July–October 2023 decline. The pair is trading within a rising channel structure and has cleared both the 50-day (0.6457) and 200-day (0.6422) SMAs, confirming a medium-term bullish shift.
Price action remains constructive, with higher lows and rising support from the channel base suggesting consistent demand. A sustained break above the 0.6558 level could open the door toward the 78.6% Fib retracement at 0.6730, a level that also aligns with prior resistance from September 2023.
Momentum indicators support the advance. The RSI is at 61.77 and rising, but still comfortably below overbought levels, implying room for further upside. The MACD is marginally positive and could accelerate higher if price confirms a breakout above the 61.8% Fib barrier.
Traders will be watching whether the pair can hold above the confluence of the SMAs and the lower trendline of the channel. A failure here could expose downside toward 0.6420–0.6450. Otherwise, the bullish structure remains intact, with scope for a continuation higher into July.

EUR/USD Breakout Eyes 1.18 as Bullish Momentum BuildsEUR/USD has punched through the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level (1.1744) of the July 2023–October 2023 decline, signaling strong bullish continuation. The breakout above the recent swing high near 1.1576 confirms the uptrend is gaining traction, supported by rising moving averages.
The 50-day SMA has crossed well above the 200-day SMA, maintaining a strong golden cross structure, reinforcing the bullish bias. Momentum indicators support the advance, with the RSI entering overbought territory at 73.79, and the MACD maintaining a positive spread above the signal line — a classic sign of trend strength rather than imminent reversal.
However, the overbought RSI suggests the pair could face some short-term consolidation or a shallow pullback before targeting the psychological 1.18 handle. Bulls would likely view any dip toward the breakout level (1.1576) as a potential buying opportunity.
As long as EUR/USD holds above that support, the path of least resistance remains to the upside, potentially paving the way for a full retracement toward the 1.19–1.20 zone seen last year.

AUDJPY – Trade the Range… Until It EndsHello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst.
📈AUDJPY has been trading within a big range marked in red.
Moreover, the it is retesting the lower bound of its rising channel marked in blue.
🏹 Thus, the highlighted blue circle is a strong area to look for buy setups as it is the intersection of support and lower blue trendline acting as a non-horizontal support.
📚 As per my trading style:
As #AUDJPY approaches the blue circle zone, I will be looking for bullish reversal setups (like a double bottom pattern, trendline break , and so on...)
📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.
Good luck!
All Strategies Are Good; If Managed Properly!

Market next target 🔀 Disruption Analysis – Bullish Alternative Scenario
The current chart suggests a bearish outlook from the resistance zone (~$2,495–$2,500), targeting a drop below $2,425. However, here’s how a bullish disruption could break this bearish narrative:
---
🟢 Bullish Disruption Possibility:
1. Support Reclaim & Strong Buyer Reaction:
If price reclaims and holds above the marked “support area” (~$2,495), it could signal strength and trap early sellers.
A strong bullish candle closing above $2,505 could invalidate the bearish scenario.
2. Higher Low Formation:
If ETH prints a higher low above $2,470, it would suggest buyers are stepping in early, reinforcing bullish momentum.
3. Target Shift – Bullish Continuation:
A confirmed breakout above $2,505 may open the path to $2,540–$2,560 as the new short-term target zone.
4. Momentum Catalyst:
A positive U.S. macroeconomic event or crypto-specific bullish news (e.g., ETF, institutional inflows) could fuel upside disruption.
Market next target 🔀 Disruption Analysis – Bearish Alternative Scenario
The current chart suggests a bullish continuation from the consolidation zone around $107,300–$107,500, with a projected move toward $108,500+. However, the following bearish disruption could invalidate that path:
---
🔻 Bearish Disruption Possibility:
1. False Breakout Trap:
If price briefly spikes above the consolidation zone and quickly reverses, it could trap breakout buyers.
A failed bullish move around $107,800–$108,000 would be the first bearish signal.
2. Weak Volume Confirmation:
Lack of volume during the breakout would signal lack of institutional interest, increasing downside risk.
3. Break Below Support Zone:
If BTC breaks below $107,000, it would signal a loss of momentum and invalidate the bullish scenario.
This breakdown may lead to a quick move toward $106,000 or even $105,800, the recent swing low.
4. Macro Influence:
Any negative U.S. economic data or regulatory news could spark bearish sentiment and accelerate the drop.
Market next move 🔀 Disruption Analysis – Bearish Alternative Scenario
While the current setup points to a bullish continuation above the support zone (around 144.10–144.20) with a projected target near 144.60, here’s how a bearish disruption could unfold instead:
---
🔻 Bearish Disruption Possibility:
1. Failed Breakout / Bull Trap:
Price may fake a move upward to trap breakout buyers near 144.40–144.50, then sharply reverse.
This would indicate a false breakout and potential reversal setup.
2. Rejection at Resistance:
Repeated failure to close above 144.40 may signal exhaustion.
Bearish divergence could form on momentum indicators (like RSI) as price rises.
3. Break Below Support Area:
A decisive break below the red support zone (around 144.10) may shift momentum bearish.
That would confirm a lower high and suggest downside continuation.
4. Next Bearish Target:
Initial support lies at 143.85, with further potential drop toward 143.60.

Market next target 🔀 Disruption Analysis – Bullish Alternative Scenario
While the current chart outlines a bearish scenario after a short-term bullish correction, leading to a drop toward the target near 1.36600, here’s how a bullish disruption could unfold instead:
---
🟢 Bullish Disruption Possibility:
1. False Breakdown / Bear Trap:
The market may dip slightly below recent lows to trigger sell stops and liquidity grab, then reverse upward.
If price finds strong buying interest around 1.3690–1.3700, it could spark a bullish reversal.
2. Strong Rejection Candles:
Watch for bullish engulfing or pin bar formations on lower timeframes (15m or 30m) near the dip area.
These would signal loss of bearish momentum.
3. Break of Lower High Structure:
A break above 1.3720 would shift short-term market structure to bullish.
It could lead to a move toward 1.3750–1.3780.
4. Macro Fundamentals:
Hawkish BOE comments or weak U.S. data could reverse USD strength, lifting GBP/USD.
Market next move Disruption Analysis – Bullish Alternative Scenario
While the current chart suggests a bearish setup from a resistance zone (around 1.1765) toward a target near 1.1630, here's a potential bullish disruption that could invalidate the bearish thesis:
---
🟢 Bullish Disruption Possibility:
1. False Breakdown / Liquidity Grab:
Price may fake a dip below the red resistance-turned-support zone to trigger stop-losses before reversing.
This is known as a liquidity sweep or bear trap.
2. Higher Low Formation:
If the pair pulls back slightly but forms a higher low above 1.1700, it may signal bullish continuation.
3. Breakout Confirmation:
A strong bullish candle above 1.1775 could confirm continuation toward 1.1830–1.1850.
4. Fundamental Catalyst:
Positive EU economic news or dovish signals from the U.S. Fed could support Euro strength.
Market next target 🔀 Disruption Analysis - Alternative Scenario
While the current chart suggests a bullish breakout from the support area around $35.85–$35.90 with an upward target above $36.20, a potential bearish disruption scenario could unfold under the following conditions:
⚠️ Bearish Disruption Possibility:
1. Weakening Buying Pressure:
Price has tested the support zone multiple times, showing signs of weakening bullish momentum.
Buyers may be exhausting near the $36.00 area without strong follow-through.
2. Break Below Support:
If price breaks and closes below $35.85 support zone on high volume, it could invalidate the bullish setup.
This would create a lower low, indicating a potential trend reversal to the downside.
3. Next Downside Targets:
Immediate support lies around $35.60.
Further downside could take price to $35.40 if bearish momentum strengthens.
4. Bearish Triggers:
Negative economic data (especially U.S.-related as indicated by the calendar icon).
Rising DXY or bond yields may pressure silver prices
