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.

This week, we anticipate first a buy, followed by a potential sell-off, as detailed in the chart below.
