At Value Flow Trading (VFT), we conducted a detailed technical analysis session focused on the U.S. equities market and key commodity currencies, as we continue to navigate through a period of heightened market volatility. During the meeting, we combined technical and fundamental analysis to identify potential sell zones, monitor price action across multiple timeframes, and evaluate how institutional trading behavior is shaping current market structure.
We began by examining the US30, S&P 500, and NAS100, where we observed a bearish setup forming within the order block and breaker block zones. Despite the recent turbulence triggered by Trump’s market comments and anticipation around Fed Chair Powell’s speech, we believe these price dips may present buying opportunities at discounted levels for patient traders. However, we emphasized the importance of waiting for confirmation signals such as mitigation or a fair value gap fill before entering any trade.
Our technical strategy session also covered the commodity currencies — particularly AUDUSD, NZDUSD, and USDCAD — where we highlighted crucial support and resistance levels using a smart money concepts (SMC) framework. We noted that AUDUSD remains in a bearish structure, with potential for continuation from identified points of interest, while NZDUSD and USDCAD could offer short-term reversal opportunities following retracements to key levels.
We also discussed how fundamental events like Powell’s upcoming speech and Trump’s Truth Social statements could influence market sentiment and liquidity. As we always remind our traders, combining technical confluence with an understanding of macroeconomic context creates stronger and more reliable trading strategies.
To wrap up, we reinforced the importance of maintaining discipline — reacting to price behavior rather than predicting it — and focusing only on high-probability setups. We encouraged all traders to keep monitoring reliable news sources like ForexLive and to stay prepared for the next Market Colour session, where we’ll review market reactions to these high-impact catalysts and adjust our outlook accordingly.
