EURUSD
no clear bias
EUR/USD is giving us a genuinely mixed picture right now, sweet friend — yesterday's session closed almost flat (barely moved), price is sitting in the lower half of its recent range, and today's big news events are all New Zealand-focused, meaning there's no strong outside push expected for this pair specifically 💛. We don't have a clear lean (a directional reason to favor buyers or sellers) yet, so we're in watch-and-wait mode rather than jumping to conclusions. If price can reclaim and hold above 1.1450, that would start to build a case for the bulls (buyers); a decisive close below 1.1380 would be the signal that sellers are taking control.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 1.1380
GBPUSD
no clear bias
Cable (our nickname for GBPUSD) is sitting in a genuinely mixed spot right now — last session's move was tiny and the day was quiet, so there's no strong signal pointing clearly up or down yet. 💛 The NZD events today (New Zealand's central bank announcing interest rates and speaking to the press) don't directly move Cable, so we're really just watching to see whether price can hold above 1.3320 and start showing us some energy before committing to a direction. For now, we're in a 'wait and see' mode — let price give us a clear clue first.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 1.3320
USDJPY
no clear bias
The dollar-yen is sitting in a bit of a wait-and-see spot right now — no clear push in either direction yet, so we're watching for confirmation before leaning one way. The NZD events today (New Zealand's central bank rate decision and press conference) don't directly drive this pair, but big global risk moves can still ripple through. Keep an eye on whether price holds above 160.80 (our key support, meaning the floor price has been respecting); a clean drop and close below that level would be the signal that the picture is shifting.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 160.80
AUDUSD
no clear bias
The Aussie-dollar (AUDUSD — how many US cents one Australian dollar buys) closed quietly higher last session, but with no big news events today and price sitting right in the middle of its recent range (not near a clear top or bottom), there's no strong signal to lean on just yet 💛. We'd want to see price push above recent highs with some energy, or slip below 0.6900, before committing to a clear direction — right now it's more of a 'wait and watch' picture. Keep this pair on your radar and let the market show its hand before stepping in.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 0.6900
USDCAD
moderate bull (2/4)
USDCAD (the US dollar versus the Canadian dollar) closed near the top of its recent range (the highest prices it's been trading around), and with no big news events on the calendar today, that quiet momentum has room to continue — so our bias leans mildly bullish (tilting upward) while price holds above 1.4150. 💛 If we see a candle close below 1.4150, that would tell us buyers have lost control and the lean is off the table. For now, watch for price to keep respecting that level as a floor (a support area where buyers step in).
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 1.4150
GBPJPY
moderate bull (2/4)
The pound-yen closed near the top of yesterday's range (the highest prices of the day) with a gentle green finish, which tells us buyers (the bulls) held control into the close 💛. While price stays above 214.20 — the last meaningful floor where buyers stepped in — the bias leans bullish (meaning we're tilting upward), with room to continue probing higher. A daily close back below 214.20 would flip that story and open the door to a deeper pullback (a move back down to retest lower support levels).
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 214.20
Gold
moderate bull (2/4)
Gold had a solid session yesterday, closing up over 1% and holding its gains — that kind of strong close hints at buyers (the bulls, the side pushing price higher) staying in control for now 💛. Our bias leans bullish (tilting upward) while Gold holds above 3,280; a clean daily close below that level would flip our outlook and signal the sellers may be taking charge. No big news events are scheduled to rattle the pair today, so keep an eye on whether price can push up from the lower half of yesterday's range — that's where the next clue will come from.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: below 3,280
Silver
no clear bias
Silver closed the last session a little higher at 60.64, which is a small positive nudge, but she finished in the lower half of her daily range (meaning price drifted back down from the highs before the session ended) — so there's no clear pull in either direction just yet 💛. We're watching to see whether buyers step in and push her back above the mid-range area with some conviction, or whether sellers keep capping her near those highs. No major news events are scheduled for Silver today, so price action itself will be our guide — a firm hold and close above 61.00 would be the first sign a bullish lean (leaning upward) is starting to form.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: below 59.80
S&P500
moderate bull (2/4)
The S&P 500 closed right near its swing high (the recent peak price has been pushing against) with a normal-sized session, which keeps the upward momentum (the overall push higher) looking healthy for now 💛. Bias leans bullish (tilting upward) while price holds above the 5,550 area — a clear close beneath that level would flip the picture and open the door to deeper pullbacks (price sliding lower to find fresh buyers). We're watching for a clean hold of this swing high zone to confirm any continuation higher.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: below 5,550
NASDAQ
moderate bull (2/4)
NASDAQ closed the last session with a solid gain of +1.26%, and that kind of green close (price finishing higher than it opened) gives us a moderately bullish bias (leaning upward) heading into the new session 💛. The bias stays constructive while price holds above 29,200 — a close below that level would cancel the upward lean and open the door for more sideways or downward pressure. No major news events are scheduled today for NASDAQ, so we'll let price action (how the market moves on its own) guide us — watch for buyers to defend the lower half of this range to keep the setup alive.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: below 29,200
DAX
moderate bull (2/4)
DAX closed up +0.78% yesterday and is sitting near the top of its recent range (the high end of where price has been bouncing around lately), which gives us a moderate bullish lean — meaning we're gently tilting upward 💛. Bias stays bullish while price holds above 25,580; if we see a daily close back below that level, the lean flips and we'd want to step back and reassess. With no big news events (red folder = high-impact economic announcements) on the calendar today, the mood feels calm and supportive for now — just watch that level.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 25,580
BTCUSD
moderate bull (2/4)
Bitcoin closed the last session up 0.73% and settled into the upper half of its daily range (meaning price finished closer to the session's high than its low — a sign buyers were in control), which gives us a moderate bullish bias (leaning upward) for now. 💛 As long as Bitcoin holds above 62,500, that upward lean stays intact — think of 62,500 as the floor we'd need to see hold; a daily close beneath it would tell us the buyers have lost grip and we'd step back to neutral. With no major news events scheduled today and price moving quietly (smaller than usual swings, so no wild surprises expected), any gentle drift higher keeps the picture constructive (looking healthy for buyers), but we always wait for confirmation before getting excited.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: below 62,500
ETHUSD
no clear bias
ETH is sitting quietly near the top of its recent range (the highest prices it has touched lately), but there's no clear push in either direction yet — we're watching to see if buyers can hold this area and spark real momentum, or if price slips back toward the middle of the range. No big news events are on the calendar today, so moves may stay small and choppy (price bouncing back and forth without a strong direction). Wait for a confident close above recent highs or a dip that gets bought back quickly before forming a lean 💛
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: below 1,740

🎯 TFW Recommendation
FOMC Minutes are published 3 weeks after the meeting — they can revive USD volatility if the language reveals surprises about future rate decisions. Less dramatic than the live announcement but worth keeping an eye on. TFW tip: stay cautious on USD pairs in the 15 minutes around release. Think of it as the meeting notes everyone tries to read between the lines 💛

📖 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.
