Market Update: All Positions Exited for Profit—Correction comingU.S. Dollar Currency IndexTVC:DXYCashFalconContext & Disclaimer **This recording is a personal trading journal for self-reflection and review, not trading or investment advice** Trading Philosophy & Journal Purpose - Core approach: supply/demand + context — keep it simple - I don’t force trades against what price is doing; I adapt - This is a personal journal for friends/family to understand my process — not trade advice - Recommended free resource for ICC: Trades by Sci Action Items - Set price alerts for Bitcoin to avoid missing future setups - Post market update announcing exited positions and waiting stance - Monitor EUR/USD: alert at 1.166 for potential correction entry; bullish level at 1.1703 - Watch AUD/USD 4H for a break-and-retest below the swing low to consider sell entries Overall Position Status - All positions exited; price is behaving unusually and I’m expecting a pullback/correction across multiple instruments - Profitable week overall; I’d rather lock in gains than risk a reversal - Current stance: wait for confirmed corrections before re-entering anything DXY (Dollar Index / Dixie) - DXY broke a key level as anticipated → leaning toward further downside - Watching for a revisit to lower levels / prior support - A significant DXY move can translate to several hundred pips on EUR/USD EURUSD - Waiting for a correction before re-entering long (and I may trade the correction down) - Alert placed at 1.166 (“correction, check?”); bullish re-entry level at 1.1703 - Price stalling 1–2 days after a strong bullish push = sellers fighting back / buyers losing interest - Exited position; waiting for confirmation before re-engaging XAUUSD - Price ran into an untouched daily swing (“black level”) and rejected with a strong wick - Key resistance: 4,569.26 (repeated historical tests with strong seller rejection) - Exited with +1.76% profit on the move up - Expecting a return to lower demand before a sustainable rally; waiting for the demand zone tap before re-entry AUDUSD - Entered around 0.7D64 off supply/demand; exited for strong profit - Price hit a strong daily supply zone (drop-base-drop) and reacted (similar dynamic as Gold) - Expecting a pullback to lower daily levels - 4H structure: HL (bullish) → HH (bullish) → LH (bearish) = bearish signal at resistance - 4H plan: break below swing low → pullback/retest → second break = consider sells; target = origin of prior move Bitcoin (Missed Opportunity) - Called the setup Aug 9th around $78,754; entered and got stopped on a pullback - Demand zone held and price later triggered overnight — missed the move due to no alerts - Lesson: always set alerts when instruments are at key levels of interest, especially NAS100, XAUUSD, & BTCUSD, even when not actively managing that trade
