neutral
moderate bull
very strong bull
EURUSD
moderate bear (2/4)
Euro-dollar closed the last session in the lower half of its daily range (meaning price spent most of its time nearer the lows than the highs) and printed an expanded range day (she moved more than her typical daily distance), which tells us sellers were in control with conviction. With no big news events on the calendar today to shake things up, that bearish momentum (downward pressure) has room to continue, so our lean stays cautious and tilted lower while price holds below 1.1420. 💛 If we see a clear candle close back above 1.1420 though, that flips the picture and we'd revisit the whole outlook — never marry a bias!
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 1.1420
GBPUSD
moderate bull (2/4)
Cable (that's our nickname for the British pound vs the US dollar 💛) closed the last session up +0.22% and settled in the upper half of its daily range (meaning price finished closer to the day's high than its low) — both small signs of quiet bullish pressure (a gentle upward lean). As long as price holds above 1.3220, the bias stays constructive (leaning upward), and we could see Cable continue probing higher levels in the sessions ahead. If we get a clean close below 1.3220 though, that flips the picture and opens the door for a pullback (a move back down to revisit lower prices), so keep that level on your radar.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 1.3220
USDJPY
mild bear (1/4)
The dollar-yen (the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Japanese yen) closed almost flat yesterday with just a tiny dip of -0.06%, so there's no strong push in either direction right now — but the range expanded (price moved more than its usual daily distance), which tells us there was some real energy under the surface. 💛 Sitting mid-range (right in the middle of yesterday's high-to-low distance) with that slight downward lean, our mild bearish bias (a gentle tilt toward lower prices) stays in play while price holds below 143.80. If we get a clear close back above 143.80, that bearish lean would be off the table and we'd reassess with fresh eyes.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 143.80
AUDUSD
mild bear (1/4)
AUD/USD (the Aussie dollar against the US dollar) closed the last session slightly lower at 0.6892, sitting in the lower half of its daily range — meaning price drifted closer to the session's lows than its highs, which gives us a mild bearish lean (a gentle tilt downward) 💛. Bias stays softly bearish (leaning toward further slipping) while price holds below 0.6920; a push back above that level would tell us the sellers have lost control and we'd want to reassess. With no high-impact news events scheduled for today, the pair may move on its own technical rhythm, so watch how price behaves around 0.6880 as nearby support (a floor price has bounced from before).
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 0.6920
USDCAD
moderate bull (2/4)
USDCAD (that's the US dollar versus the Canadian dollar) closed just above 1.4220 yesterday with a small but positive push, and price is sitting in the upper half of its daily range — meaning buyers held their ground near the top of the day's movement, which is an encouraging sign 💛. The bias leans mildly bullish (leaning upward, favoring the US dollar side) while price holds above 1.4170, which acted as recent support (a floor where buyers stepped in before). If we see a clean close below 1.4170, that lean flips and we'd want to reassess, but with no big news events scheduled today for this pair, the path of least resistance looks to favor the upside for now.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 1.4170
GBPJPY
moderate bull (2/4)
The pound-yen closed the last session nudging higher with price sitting in the upper half of its daily range — meaning buyers were in control heading into the close, which gives us a mild bullish bias (a lean toward further upside) 💛. While price holds above 214.40, that constructive tone stays intact and we could see the pair continue exploring higher ground. A close back below 214.40 would flip the picture and tell us the sellers have taken charge, so that's the level to keep your eye on.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 214.40
Gold
moderate bull (2/4)
Gold closed up +1.13% last session with an expanded range (meaning she moved more than her typical daily distance), which tells us real buying energy showed up — that's an encouraging sign for bulls (buyers) 💛. She closed in the lower half of her daily range, so there may be a little more work to do before momentum fully builds, but the bias stays moderately bullish (leaning upward) while price holds above the 3,980 area. If we see a daily close below 3,980, that would flip the picture and open the door to a deeper pullback (a healthy step backward in price), so keep that level on your radar.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: below 3,980
Silver
moderate bull (2/4)
Silver closed up over 1% last session and the range expanded (she moved more than her usual daily distance), which tells us buyers showed up with real energy 💛. Our bias leans bullish (leaning upward) while price holds above the 29.50 area — that's our line in the sand where the lean would be wrong. If Silver slips and closes below 29.50, that opens the door for more downside pressure, so we watch that level closely before making any decisions.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: below 29.50
S&P500
mild bull (1/4)
The S&P 500 closed just slightly in the red last session but held in the upper half of its daily range (meaning price stayed closer to the session high than the low), which tells us sellers didn't fully take control 💛. With no big news events on the calendar today to shake things up, the mild bullish bias (leaning upward) stays intact while price holds above the 5,750 area. A daily close below that level would flip the picture and open the door to more downside pressure, so keep that on your radar as your 'this lean is wrong' signal.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: below 5,750
NASDAQ
mild bear (1/4)
NASDAQ slipped -1.54% last session, closing in the middle of its daily range (not near the highs or lows, so neither side fully won the day), which gives us a mild bearish lean (a slight tilt downward) heading into today 💛. Price action was quiet — meaning she moved less than her typical daily distance — so we're not seeing a big surge of momentum in either direction just yet. Bias stays cautiously bearish while price holds below the prior session's high; a reclaim and close back above 19,300 would flip the picture and we'd want to reassess the lean entirely.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 19,300
DAX
moderate bull (2/4)
DAX closed just a hair higher yesterday and is sitting near the top of its recent range (the highest prices it's been trading at lately), which gives us a mild bullish lean (leaning upward) while price holds above the 24,800 area 💛. Sessions have been quiet — meaning DAX isn't moving as much as usual compared to its average daily swing — so we're not expecting fireworks, but the path of least resistance (the easier direction for price to drift) looks gently upward for now. If we see a close below 24,800, that lean flips and we'd want to step back and reassess before making any new decisions.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 24,800
BTCUSD
moderate bull (2/4)
Bitcoin closed the last session up nearly 2.5% and its range expanded (meaning it traveled more ground than a typical day), which tells us there was real energy behind that move 💛. Our bias leans moderately bullish (tilted upward) while price holds above the 58,000 area — a daily close beneath that level would cancel this lean and suggest the sellers have taken control. Price is sitting in the lower half of that session's range, so if buyers step back in and defend this zone, the next push higher becomes a real possibility.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: below 58,000
ETHUSD
moderate bull (2/4)
Ethereum closed the last session up +2.51%, which tells us buyers (the bulls) showed up with real energy and pushed price meaningfully higher — that's an encouraging sign 💛. With price sitting in the middle of its recent range (not stretched too high or too low) and no big news events today to shake things up, the bias leans bullish (meaning we're gently tilting toward more upside) as long as Ethereum holds above the 1,565 area. If price closes a candle (a time-period bar on your chart) below 1,565, that lean flips and we'd want to step back and reassess rather than assume another push higher.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: below 1,565

📖 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.
