MARKET COLOR FOR THE WEEK 18TH AUGUST 2025
Aug 17, 2025 5:01 pm
Hi ,
Happy New Week!
How was trading on your end last week?
The last two weeks have been relatively quiet, with insufficient liquidity slowing down market movements.
Remember: "The goal isn’t to win every trade; it’s to make the right decisions every time."
Here’s our analysis for the week ahead at Value Flow Trading:
USD: Last week, the dollar was bearish, couldn’t fully sell into POI for the buy as a result of the insufficient liquidity in the market.
This week, we anticipate first the completion of the sell move, then a continuation of the bullish retracement.
This suggests first a BUY opportunity, then further selling (SHORT) opportunities on pairs like GBP/USD and EUR/USD.
Check the chart below for detailed insights.
JPY: The Yen basket was overall bullish last week with low volume, but yet to clear the weekly liquidity level.
This week, we anticipate a liquidity sweep, followed by a resumption of the bullish trend.
This presents an initial buying (LONG) opportunity on Yen pairs, followed by a potential selling (SHORT) setup.
Check the chart for specific details..
GOLD: Last week, the precious metal was bearish with low momentum. However, it still remains within the trading range.
This week, we anticipate first a buy, followed by a potential sell-off, as detailed in the chart below.
Remember to trade cautiously and implement proper risk management.
