neutral
moderate bull
very strong bull
EURUSD
no clear bias
Right now, EUR/USD is giving us a genuinely mixed picture — she closed nearly flat with a tiny gain, is sitting in the lower half of her recent range (meaning price is closer to the bottom of where she's been trading), and today brings a wall of high-impact USD inflation data plus Fed Chair testimony that could flip the whole story in either direction. With that much event risk (big scheduled news that can move markets sharply) on the calendar, there's no clear lean to take yet — we're watching rather than positioning. A strong close above 1.1420 could start building a case for upside, while a decisive push lower on hot inflation numbers (data showing prices rising fast, which tends to strengthen the dollar and weaken EUR/USD) would shift our attention to the downside. 💛
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 1.1420
GBPUSD
no clear bias
Cable (our nickname for GBPUSD) is sitting quietly in the upper half of its recent range after a gentle positive close, but today is honestly not a day to lean strongly in either direction — we have a full storm of high-impact news hitting at 5:00pm PST, including US inflation data (CPI, which measures how fast prices are rising) AND both Fed Chair Warsh and BOE Governor Bailey speaking, which means price could swing hard either way. 💛 Think of today as a 'wait and see' session — we want to watch how Cable reacts to those events before forming any real bias (our directional lean). A decisive close back below 1.3400 would suggest sellers are taking control, while holding above it and pushing higher after the news would be the first signal bulls (buyers) are still in charge.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 1.3400
USDJPY
no clear bias
The dollar-yen is sitting in the upper half of its recent range (closer to the top of where price has been moving lately) after a tiny gain last session, but honestly there's no clear directional lean to commit to right now 💛 — we're watching to see which way price reacts before forming a bias. What really matters today is the 5:00pm PST CPI reports (inflation data that tells us how fast prices are rising) plus Fed Chair Warsh speaking, because those events could push the dollar-yen sharply in either direction; a clean hold and push above recent highs could open a mild bullish case (leaning upward), while a close below 161.80 would suggest sellers are taking control and we'd reassess from there.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 161.80
AUDUSD
no clear bias
The Aussie-dollar is sitting quietly (barely moving compared to its usual daily range) in the lower half of today's range, and we have a big event dropping at 5 PM PST — US inflation data (CPI, which measures how much prices changed) for both the month and the year. 💛 That kind of news can shake a pair hard in either direction, so right now there's no clear lean — we're genuinely in 'wait and see' mode until the report prints. Watch how price reacts to the 0.6936 level after the data; a strong hold above it could open a mild upward lean, while a decisive close below it would tilt the picture bearish (favoring lower prices).
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 0.6936
USDCAD
no clear bias
USDCAD is sitting in a genuinely mixed spot right now — yesterday's small dip (price edged slightly lower) leaves no clear directional story, and with USD CPI (the official report on how much everyday prices have risen or fallen) dropping today at 5pm PST, the market is likely to pause and wait before committing to a direction. 💛 Think of it like everyone holding their breath before a big announcement — we really want to see how price reacts to that CPI number before leaning bullish (upward) or bearish (downward) on this pair. A strong CPI reading could push USD strength and lift USDCAD, while a soft reading could send it lower — so watch that 1.4210 level closely, because a clear close above there would be the first sign bulls are back in control.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 1.4210
GBPJPY
no clear bias
The pound-yen closed the last session gently higher and is sitting in the upper half of its recent range (the zone between the session's high and low prices), but the picture isn't clear enough yet to lean strongly in either direction. 💛 What we're really watching is BOE Governor Bailey speaking today at 5pm PST — his words can move the British pound quickly, so we want to hear what he says before assuming a direction. If price holds above 216.40 and Bailey's tone sounds supportive for the pound, that could be the confirmation we'd want to see before leaning upward; a close below 216.40 would tell us the gentle strength has faded.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 216.40
Gold
no clear bias
Gold had a solid session yesterday, but with four big U.S. inflation reports (CPI — the measure of how much everyday prices are rising) dropping at 5:00pm PST today, there's no clear directional lean just yet 💛 — the data could push Gold sharply either way, so we're watching for the market's reaction before committing to a direction. If price holds above 4,080 and the numbers come in softer than expected (meaning inflation looks like it's cooling down), that could open the door for buyers to step back in; a close below 4,080, however, would suggest the bears (sellers) are taking control and the bullish (upward-leaning) case weakens.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: below 4,080
Silver
no clear bias
Silver had a strong session yesterday, gaining nearly 4%, but today we're watching carefully because USD CPI (the big inflation report that often shakes up precious metals prices) drops at 5:00pm PST — and that single event can flip the mood fast in either direction. 💛 Right now there's no clear lean we'd feel comfortable acting on, because a hotter-than-expected inflation number could strengthen the dollar and weigh on Silver, while a softer reading could give it room to push higher. We'd want to see how price reacts after that report before forming any real directional view (a sense of which way Silver wants to go).
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 32.00
S&P500
no clear bias
The S&P 500 closed positively last session and is sitting near recent swing highs (the top of its recent price range), which sounds encouraging — but with USD CPI data (the Consumer Price Index, a big inflation report that markets watch very closely) dropping today, we really don't have a clear directional lean just yet 💛. A hot inflation number could push prices lower, while a cooler reading could give bulls (buyers) the fuel to push higher — so right now we're watching, not leaning. Until that report prints and price shows us which way it wants to react, there's no clear bias to follow.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 5,480
NASDAQ
no clear bias
NASDAQ closed down nearly 2% last session and with four big inflation reports (CPI — the government's measure of how much everyday prices are rising) dropping today, there's no clear direction to lean on just yet — the market is holding its breath waiting for that data. We'd want to see price either hold and reclaim the 29,800 area (meaning buyers step back in with confidence) or break down further before committing to a lean in either direction. For now, the safest approach is watching rather than guessing 💛
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: above 29,800
DAX
no clear bias
DAX closed higher by nearly 1% last session, which is a nice green candle (price finished up for the day), but we don't have a clear directional lean just yet — the price is sitting in the lower half of its daily range (meaning it closed closer to the day's low than its high), which keeps us watching rather than committing 💛. We'd want to see price hold above 24,900 and push back toward the upper part of yesterday's range before a bullish bias (leaning upward) really starts to build. No big news events are scheduled for DAX today, so keep an eye on how price reacts at current levels — that reaction will tell us more than anything else right now.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: 24,900
BTCUSD
moderate bull (2/4)
Bitcoin closed the last session up +1.50% and finished in the upper half of its daily range (meaning price settled closer to the session's high than its low — a quiet sign of buyer control), so our bias leans bullish (tilting upward) while price holds above 61,800 💛. If we see a daily candle close below that level, the bullish lean is off the table and we'd step back to neutral until a new picture forms. No big news events are scheduled to shake things up today, so watch for price to either build on yesterday's strength or pull back to test nearby support (a price floor where buyers have stepped in before) — that dip, if it holds, could be the next opportunity to pay attention to.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: below 61,800
ETHUSD
no clear bias
Ethereum (ETH/USD) is sitting near the top of its recent range (the highest prices she's traded in the last little while) after a quiet session with almost no movement — so there's no clear bias (directional lean) to act on just yet. 💛 We're watching to see whether price can hold these highs and push through with real momentum (strong buying energy), or whether she fades back down toward the middle of the range. No calendar events are adding fuel today, so patience is your best tool — wait for the chart to show its hand before committing to a direction.
⚠️ Lean invalidated if: below 1,700

CPI day for the USD — spreads on USD pairs can widen sharply at release and stops get hunted in both directions. The TFW approach: step back 30 minutes before the number drops and wait for the dust to settle (usually 15–20 minutes after release). Re-assess the chart once the initial candle closes. No need to chase — great setups appear AFTER the volatility, not during it. Think of it like rush hour — the road clears up beautifully once everyone else is done crashing into each other 💛

📖 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.
