EURUSD
mild bear (1/4)
Euro-dollar closed the last session slightly in the red and is sitting in the lower half of its daily range (meaning price drifted closer to the session's bottom than its top), which gives us a mild bearish bias (a gentle lean downward) for now 💛. While price stays below 1.1385, the path of least resistance (the direction that feels easier for price to travel) favours another dip toward the 1.1300 area. A clean hourly close back above 1.1385 would flip that lean and tell us the sellers have lost control.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 1.1385
GBPUSD
mild bear (1/4)
Cable (that's our nickname for the pound-dollar pair) closed the last session in the lower half of its daily range — meaning price settled closer to the day's low than its high — which gives us a mild bearish lean (a gentle tilt downward) going into today 💛. While price stays below 1.3210, we'd watch for any continued softness toward the lower structure; a clean hourly close back above 1.3210 would tell us that bearish lean is no longer valid and we'd need to reassess. No big news events are scheduled for Cable today, so price action (the raw movement of the chart itself) will be our best guide — stay patient and let the market show its hand before jumping in.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 1.3210
USDJPY
moderate bull (2/4)
Dollar-yen closed near the top of its range (meaning price settled close to where it was highest during the day) with a quiet green session behind it, which gives us a mild bullish bias (a gentle lean upward) heading into today 💛. As long as price holds above 160.80, the path of least resistance (the direction things tend to drift when nothing pushes back) looks higher toward the recent swing high area. A close back below 160.80 would soften that lean and suggest buyers (the folks pushing price up) have stepped away for now.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 160.80
AUDUSD
mild bear (1/4)
The Aussie (Australian dollar vs US dollar) closed the last session just slightly in the red and is sitting near the swing low (the bottom edge of its recent price range, where buyers last stepped in) — which tells us the pair is under a little pressure 💛. Our mild bearish lean (slight downward tilt) stays valid while price holds below 0.6935; if we see a clear hourly close back above that level, the lean flips and we'd look for a recovery instead. With no big news events scheduled today, moves may stay quiet (smaller than usual), so watch for price to either hold and bounce from this low zone or quietly slip a little further.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 0.6935
USDCAD
moderate bull (2/4)
USDCAD (that's the US dollar versus the Canadian dollar) closed near the top of its daily range yesterday, which tells us buyers (the bulls) stayed in control right through the session close 💛. While price holds above 1.4185, the bias stays moderately bullish (leaning upward) — meaning we'd look for opportunities in that upward direction rather than fighting the flow. A clean daily close back below 1.4185 would flip that picture and open the door to a deeper pullback (price sliding lower to find fresh support, or a floor price bounces from).
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 1.4185
GBPJPY
mild bear (1/4)
The pound-yen closed the last session just a touch lower at 212.90, sitting in the lower half of its recent range (meaning price is closer to its recent floor than its ceiling), which gives us a mild bearish lean (a slight downward tilt) for now 💛. Price moved quietly compared to its usual daily distance, so there's no big momentum push either way — we're watching to see whether sellers (those betting on price falling) can hold this lower area or whether buyers step back in. Our lean stays cautiously bearish while price remains below 214.20; a move and close back above that level would tell us the downside pressure has faded and we'd want to reassess completely.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 214.20
Gold
moderate bull (2/4)
Gold closed higher by about 1% last session and is holding with a moderate bullish bias (leaning upward) after that positive close 💛. She's sitting in the lower half of her daily range (meaning price is closer to the bottom of where she's been trading recently), which could mean there's room to push higher — but we want to keep an eye on 3,980, because a close below that level would tell us the buyers have lost control and we'd need to reassess. With no high-impact news events (the big scheduled announcements that can shake price sharply) touching Gold today, the environment feels calmer, which tends to let the existing momentum breathe a little more freely.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: below 3,980
Silver
moderate bull (2/4)
Silver closed near the swing low (the most recent little valley where price bounced before) but still managed to finish the session in positive territory — that quiet resilience gives us a mild bullish lean (tilting upward) heading into today. 💛 The range was quiet (Silver moved less than her usual daily distance), so watch for a potential expansion (a bigger move than normal) if buyers step in and push her away from this low zone. Bias stays constructive (leaning positive) while price holds above 57.60 — a close below that level would tell us sellers have taken control and we'd need to reassess.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: below 57.60
S&P500
mild bear (1/4)
The S&P 500 closed almost flat but finished in the lower half of its daily range (meaning price drifted closer to the session's low than its high), which gives us a mild bearish tilt (slight lean downward) to start the day 💛. With no big news events on the calendar today, we'll watch whether buyers step in to reclaim the middle of yesterday's range — if they can't, the path of least resistance (the easier direction price tends to drift) stays to the downside. Our bias flips to cautiously bullish (leaning upward) on a clear push and hold back above 5,370 — a close beneath that level keeps the bears in control.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 5,370
NASDAQ
moderate bull (2/4)
NASDAQ closed the last session with a gentle push higher (+0.75%), which gives us a mild bullish bias (a slight lean upward) heading into today 💛. Price is sitting in the lower half of its daily range, meaning there's still some breathing room to the upside if buyers stay interested and keep defending the current area. That bias stays alive while price holds above 29,200 — a close below that level would tell us the sellers have taken control and we'd want to reassess the whole picture.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: below 29,200
DAX
moderate bull (2/4)
DAX closed the last session with a healthy +1.03% gain and is sitting comfortably in the middle of its daily range (the distance between yesterday's high and low), which tells us buyers were active but didn't overextend — a gentle sign of strength. 💛 Our bias (leaning direction) stays moderately bullish (favoring more upside) as long as price holds above 24,750; a close beneath that level would signal the buyers have lost control and we'd want to step aside from any upward lean. With no high-impact news events scheduled today, the environment feels relatively calm, so we watch that 24,750 line as our key 'if this breaks, the story changes' marker.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 24,750
BTCUSD
moderate bear (2/4)
Bitcoin closed the last session down over 2% and finished in the lower half of its daily range (meaning price spent most of the day near the lows rather than recovering), which tells us sellers were in control 💛. On top of that, the range expanded (Bitcoin moved more than its typical daily distance), so this wasn't a quiet drift — it was a meaningful push lower. A cautious bearish lean (leaning downward) stays in place while Bitcoin holds beneath 61,800; a move back above that level would tell us the bears have lost their grip and we'd want to reassess.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: above 61,800
ETHUSD
moderate bear (2/4)
Ethereum (ETH/USD) closed hard at 1565 after a -3.40% drop last session, and the candle was expanded (meaning price moved much more than its usual daily distance), which tells us sellers showed up with real force 💛. Right now price is sitting in the lower half of that big candle's range, which keeps a bearish bias (leaning downward) in place — as long as we stay below 1620, the path of least resistance favors further softness. A daily close back above 1620 would flip that picture and open the door for a recovery attempt.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 1620

📖 Trading terms explained — tap to open
New here? Every term used in this briefing, explained in plain words. No jargon left unexplained.
Swing High / Swing Low
The last peak (swing high) or valley (swing low) on the chart — the little bumps price made before reversing.
Traders watch these because price often reacts there: it might bounce off a swing low or stall at a swing high.
Range
How far price moved from its lowest to highest point in a session.
A 'quiet range' means price barely moved. An 'expanded range' means it moved more than usual — higher volatility day.
ATR (Average True Range)
The average distance price travels in a typical session — its 'normal step size'.
When the day's range is bigger than ATR, price is moving more than usual. When smaller, it's a quiet day. Helps size stops sensibly.
Liquidity Sweep
Price briefly dips below a swing low (or above a swing high) to grab the stop orders sitting there, then snaps back.
It's the market 'raiding' the stops before the real move. Seeing a sweep then a reversal is often a strong signal.
Bias / Directional Lean
Which way the market seems to be leaning — bullish (upward), bearish (downward), or no strong lean.
Bias doesn't mean price will definitely go that way. It's the direction that looks more likely given current structure. Always have a plan if it goes the other way.
Invalidation Level
The price where your reason for the trade is no longer valid — 'if it gets here, my idea was wrong'.
Knowing your invalidation level before entering helps you decide where to put your stop loss and whether the trade is worth the risk.
Retest
When price comes back to a level it just broke through — testing whether that level now holds as support or resistance.
After a breakout, many traders wait for the retest (the return visit) as a higher-quality entry rather than chasing the initial break.
Scalping
Taking very quick, small trades — in and out in minutes, targeting small price moves.
Scalpers trade frequently and need tight spreads. Around news events, TFW teaches to avoid scalping because spreads widen and stops get hit fast.
Spread
The gap between the buy price and sell price — the broker's fee for the trade.
Around high-impact news, spreads can widen dramatically (5-10× normal). This is why TFW teaches to step back before news: your stop might get hit just from the spread alone.
Stop Hunt
When price briefly spikes to hit a cluster of stop-loss orders before reversing in the original direction.
Common before and after news events. Setting stops at 'obvious' round numbers or just below swing lows makes you more vulnerable.
Consolidation
Price moving sideways in a tight zone — taking a breather, not going anywhere in particular.
After a big move, markets often consolidate before continuing. TFW teaches patience here: wait for a breakout with momentum rather than trading inside the range.
Breakout
When price pushes through a level it's been unable to get past — breaking the ceiling or the floor.
The best breakouts have momentum behind them (strong candle, volume if available). Fakeouts (false breakouts) are common, so many traders wait for a close beyond the level or a retest.
Pullback
A temporary move against the main trend — a step backwards before the trend continues.
Pullbacks are one of the best trade entries in trending markets. TFW teaches to wait for price to pull back to a key level (like the 50 EMA or a swing low) before entering in the direction of the trend.
Red Folder
High-impact news events shown in red on the ForexFactory economic calendar — the big announcements that can move markets sharply.
Examples: CPI (inflation), NFP (US jobs), central bank rate decisions. TFW teaching: step back from the market 15-30 minutes before red folder releases and wait for the chaos to settle.
Risk:Reward (R:R)
How much you could make versus how much you're risking on a single trade — e.g. 1:2 means risking $1 to potentially make $2.
Even if you're only right 40% of the time, a 1:3 R:R can still be profitable. TFW teaches to aim for at least 1:2 before taking a trade.
