Repli du dollar et biais haussier sur EURUSD et GBPUSD, tous deux au-dessus de leurs principales moyennes. Le mouvement est toutefois déjà avancé : EURUSD est fortement suracheté sur les horizons horaire et journalier, tandis que GBPUSD reste sous son récent sommet intrajournalier après une nette progression. Les indices sont fermés et leurs données ne sont pas fraîches.

HOLD^DAX
DAX remains below the 26180 protective stop and 20-hour average after closing near the session low, so the bullish continuation thesis is invalidated. Because the European session is closed and quality is stale_market_closed, retain the existing stop without loosening it and defer execution to the server when eligible.
HOLDEURUSD
EURUSD remains above its 20-hour, 50-hour, 50-day, and 200-day averages with positive 24-hour and 7-day momentum. The near-entry stop tightly bounds risk, while resistance around 1.1562 argues against adding exposure or changing the target.

UPDATEEURUSD
EURUSD remains above all cited moving averages with positive 24-hour and 7-day momentum, but it is close to resistance around 1.1562. Raise the stop to approximately entry price to remove nearly all remaining trade risk while preserving upside toward the existing target.

DAX finished below its 26180 protective stop, below the 20-hour average, and near the session low, materially invalidating the bullish continuation setup.

HOLDEURUSD
EURUSD remains above its 20-hour, 50-hour, 50-day, and 200-day averages with positive 24-hour and 7-day momentum. The existing stop tightly bounds risk; nearby resistance around 1.1562 and the imminent USD speech argue against adding exposure or changing parameters.

HOLDEURUSD
EURUSD remains above its 20-hour, 50-hour, 50-day, and 200-day averages with positive 24-hour and 7-day momentum, while softer US yields support the long. Resistance near 1.1562 and the upcoming USD speech limit conviction, but the existing stop adequately bounds risk and no parameter change is justified.
HOLD^DAX
DAX remains below the 26180 protective stop and its 20-hour average after closing near the session low, so the bullish continuation thesis has materially deteriorated. The European session is closed and market data is marked stale_market_closed; retain the existing stop without loosening it and allow the server to handle execution at the next eligible opportunity.
HOLDEURUSD
EURUSD remains above its 20-hour, 50-hour, 50-day, and 200-day averages with positive 1-hour, 24-hour, and 7-day momentum. Softer US yields support the long, while nearby prior-week resistance limits upside conviction. The existing stop keeps risk tightly bounded, so no parameter change or additional exposure is warranted.

HOLDEURUSD
EURUSD remains above its 20-hour, 50-hour, 50-day, and 200-day averages with positive 24-hour and 7-day momentum. The latest consolidation below prior-week resistance reduces upside conviction, but the bullish structure remains intact and the existing stop adequately bounds risk.

Nuit asiatique fine, tous les indices fermés avec des données périmées de 5,5 à 10 heures : le champ négociable se réduit à l'EUR/USD, au GBP/USD, et à deux matières premières que la plateforme n'autorise pas faute de multiplicateur figé. Le fond macro reste celui de la veille, un dollar vendu contre l'ensemble du bloc : 10 ans américain à 4,653% après -5,3 pb sur 24h, or à +3,11% sur 24h, USD/JPY à 158,53 avec un RSI journalier écrasé à 29,21 et toujours sous sa SMA50 horaire de 159,17, VIX retombé de 6,47% à 14,89 donc aucune tension de risque. Deux nuances que je relève au lieu de les taire : l'or rend 0,70% sur la séance après son pic à 4583,80, et l'USD/JPY reprend 0,26% en séance asiatique. Le dollar ne se dégrade plus, il consolide sa baisse. Sur le change, la hiérarchie est nette : l'EUR/USD est le leader mais il est vertical, RSI horaire 79,17 et journalier 76,83 après près de deux ATR journaliers ; le GBP/USD est le retardataire, RSI horaire 64,99, journalier 64,23, et il consolide au-dessus de son plus haut hebdomadaire cassé de 1,35615, au-dessus de sa SMA20 horaire (1,35903), de sa SMA50 horaire (1,35581) et de sa SMA50 journalière (1,35550). Côté actions, la structure reste baissière à court terme sous des moyennes longues encore haussières (CAC 8501 sous ses SMA20/50 horaires mais loin au-dessus de sa SMA200 journalière à 8219, Nasdaq 29426 avec un RSI horaire de 33,72), mais rien de tout cela n'est jouable ce soir. Calendrier : Philly Fed et inscriptions au chômage à 12:30Z, impact moyen, dans 10h30, aucun blackout actif.

Horizon: Intraday, gestion slot par slot, sortie au plus tard vers 16:00Z le 20/08
Thesis: Je joue la continuation de la faiblesse du dollar sur le seul instrument éligible dont l'entrée n'est pas située à l'extrême du mouvement. Le déclencheur structurel est daté : le GBP/USD a franchi son plus haut hebdomadaire de 1,35615 le 19/08, il est monté jusqu'à 1,36294, puis il a retracé de façon ordonnée jusqu'à 1,35908 sans jamais revenir sur le niveau cassé, et il stabilise depuis six heures entre 1,3599 et 1,3611, au-dessus de sa SMA20 horaire (1,35842), de sa SMA50 horaire (1,35558) et de sa SMA50 journalière (1,35550). C'est une cassure, un repli tenu, puis une consolidation au-dessus du niveau : la structure haussière est intacte et le repli a purgé l'excès sans casser quoi que ce soit. La confirmation vient de trois instruments dont aucun ne dépend de ma position : l'or gagne 4,218% en 24h, le 10 ans américain perd 5,3 pb à 4,653%, et l'USD/JPY casse à la baisse avec un RSI journalier à 29,21. Le dollar est vendu contre tout le bloc, ce n'est pas une histoire spécifiquement britannique. Le point décisif de mon choix est comparatif : l'EUR/USD porte la même idée mais avec un RSI horaire de 78,72 et un RSI journalier de 76,83 après près de deux ATR journaliers de parcours, donc une entrée au sommet vertical d'une impulsion ; le GBP/USD affiche un RSI horaire de 61,93 et un RSI journalier de 64,23, il a fait la moitié du chemin relatif et il m'offre un point d'entrée à la base d'une consolidation plutôt qu'à sa pointe. À risque identique, je préfère le retardataire avec une invalidation proche et lisible au leader tendu dont l'invalidation structurelle est à 40 pips.
Invalidation: Trois conditions, chacune suffisante et vérifiable sans interprétation. Première : une clôture horaire sous 1,35900, c'est-à-dire sous le plancher de la consolidation post-cassure inscrit à 17:00Z, ce qui signerait l'échec de la tenue du niveau hebdomadaire reconquis. Deuxième : une clôture horaire de l'EUR/USD sous 1,16500, qui invaliderait la thèse de faiblesse générale du dollar sur laquelle repose tout le raisonnement — si le leader du mouvement rend 35 pips, le retardataire que je détiens n'a plus de moteur. Troisième : le stop dur à 1,35800, soit 21 pips et 1,75 ATR horaire sous mon entrée, placé sous le plancher de séance et sous la SMA20 horaire. J'ajoute une contrainte de temps que je m'impose d'avance pour ne pas la renégocier au moment où elle me dérangera : si à 12:00Z le prix n'a produit aucun plus haut au-dessus de 1,36110, je solde, parce que la cassure sera devenue un range et que je ne finance pas un range. Sortie en tout état de cause au plus tard vers 16:00Z, je ne porte pas de position au-delà de la digestion des chiffres américains de 12:30Z si elle est défavorable.

HOLDEURUSD
Entry 1.154015, live 1.1546, +9.38 USD. Stop 1.1542 sits above entry, so risk at stop is zero and the floor is about +3.69. No named invalidation has fired: no hourly close below 1.1523 (worst close in the window is 1.15460, worst low 1.15460); 10Y 4.617 has not reclaimed 4.68 and stays under its 1h SMA20 of 4.647 with 1h RSI 36.15; WTI 75.20 is nowhere near the 78 line, -1.05% on 24h with 1d RSI 33.81; VIX 15.85 is far under my 17 trigger, so this is not defensive dollar demand; and EUR still leads GBP on 24h (+0.035% vs -0.081%), with both pairs under their 1h SMA20 — that last test now passes only on a technicality. Plainly, the premise is close to spent. Spot has ground down every hour since 23:00Z (1.15587, 1.15594, 1.15580, 1.15567, 1.15527, 1.15527, 1.15487, 1.15460), the 07:00Z hour closed on its low, 1h RSI has bled 62.5 at entry to 53.61 last cycle to 45.59 now, price has lost the 1h SMA20 (1.15540) and sits 6 pips above the 1h SMA50 (1.15403), and PnL has decayed from a 39.38 peak to 9.38. Corroboration is one-legged: gold does the work at +2.11% while the 10Y moves 1bp, and gold ripping alongside SPX -0.62% and NDX -1.26% is a debasement bid, not the oil-led dovish repricing I underwrote. So I do not add and I do not open a correlated GBPUSD short. I also do not pay 0.8bp spread plus slippage (~2.3 USD round trip) to close a zero-cost option, since that captures only ~3 USD more than simply letting the stop fill at 1.1542. Tightening is not available at any sensible distance: spot is 4 pips off the stop, 0.61x the 1h ATR (0.00066), so any tighter stop is inside a single ordinary wick. The trade is now a free lottery ticket 29 pips from target with the stop doing the deciding. Risk accepted: 12:30Z US claims (203K forecast vs 197K previous) gapping through 1.1542 turns +9 into +3.69.
HOLDEURUSD
Entry 1.154015, live 1.1553, +23.38 USD. Stop 1.1542 is above entry: risk at stop is zero, worst case banks about +3.69, price sits 22 pips from the 1.1575 target and 1.65x the 1h ATR (0.00067) above the stop. Named invalidations checked, none fired. No hourly close below 1.1523 — the twelve hours shown all closed 1.15527 or better, worst low 1.15487, and the 05:00Z hour closed 1.15527 in a six-pip band. 10Y 4.617 has not reclaimed 4.68, stays under its 1h SMA20 of 4.647, 1h RSI 36.15, flat on the hour. WTI 74.85 is well below the 78 line I named, 1d RSI 33.81, -10.9% on 7d, and it has faded the 76.04 overnight spike — still a bounce in a broken downtrend. VIX 15.81 is far under my 17 trigger, so this stays dollar softness, not defensive dollar demand. EUR still leads GBP on 24h (+0.116% vs +0.051%), and GBPUSD sits under its own 1h SMA20 (1.3463 vs 1.34674, RSI 50.03) — that test passes, narrowly. Plainly, the premise is flattening rather than broken: spot has slipped a hair under the 1h SMA20 of 1.15542, 1h RSI 53.61 against 62.5 at entry, PnL decayed from a 39.38 peak to 23.38. It still holds above 1h SMA50 1.15389, 1d SMA50 1.15330, 1d SMA200 1.14725, 1d RSI 59.24. Corroboration stays one-legged: gold does nearly all the work at +2.46% on 24h while the 10Y is only -1bp, and gold ripping alongside SPX -0.62% and NDX -1.26% reads as a debasement bid, not the oil-led dovish repricing I underwrote. Hence no add and no correlated GBPUSD short — but that is not a reason to pay spread to close a zero-cost option 22 pips from target. Trailing to 1.1549 declined again: ~0.6x the 1h ATR below spot, inside one ordinary hourly wick in thin Asia liquidity, for ~14 USD (0.014% of capital), while 1.1542 sits below every hourly low since 09:00Z. Risk accepted: a gap through 1.1542 at the 07:02Z reopen or on 12:30Z claims turns +23 into +3.69.
HOLDEURUSD
Entry 1.154015, live 1.1553, +23.38 USD. Stop 1.1542 is above entry: risk at stop is zero, worst case banks about +3.69, price sits 22 pips from the 1.1575 target and 1.62x the 1h ATR (0.00068) above the stop. Named invalidations checked, none fired. No hourly close below 1.1523 — the last twelve hours all closed 1.15402 or better, worst low 1.15500, and the 04:00Z hour closed 1.15527 in a three-pip band. 10Y 4.617 has not reclaimed 4.68, stays under its 1h SMA20 of 4.647, 1h RSI 36.15, flat on the hour. WTI 74.73 on the 04:00Z close is well below the 78 line I named, 1d RSI 33.81, -10.9% on 7d, and it has faded the 76.04 overnight spike — still a bounce in a broken downtrend. VIX 15.81 is far under my 17 trigger, so this stays dollar softness, not defensive dollar demand. EUR still leads GBP on 24h (+0.116% vs +0.040%), and GBPUSD has dropped further under its own 1h SMA20 (1.3461 vs 1.34676, RSI 47.8) while EURUSD holds level with its — that test passes, but only just. The weakness is unchanged and not improving: spot sits on the 1h SMA20 of 1.15538, 1h RSI 53.61 against 62.5 at entry, PnL decayed 39.38 to 23.38 over five hours. Flattening, not broken — above 1h SMA50 1.15380, 1d SMA50 1.15330, 1d SMA200 1.14725, 1d RSI 59.24. Corroboration is one-legged: gold does nearly all the work at +3.05% on 24h while the 10Y is only -1bp, and gold ripping alongside SPX -0.62% and NDX -1.26% reads as a debasement bid, not the oil-led dovish repricing I underwrote. Hence no add and no correlated GBPUSD short — but that is not a reason to pay spread to close a zero-cost option 22 pips from target. Trailing to 1.1549 would sit ~0.6x the 1h ATR below spot, inside one ordinary hourly wick in thin Asia liquidity, for ~14 USD more (0.014% of capital); declined, since 1.1542 sits below every hourly low since 09:00Z. Risk accepted: a gap through 1.1542 at the 07:02Z open or on 12:30Z claims turns +23 into +3.69.

Named invalidations checked, none fired. No hourly close below 1.1523 — the last twelve hours all closed 1.15487 or better, worst low 1.15446, and the 03:00Z hour closed 1.15527. 10Y 4.617 has not reclaimed 4.68 and stays under its 1h SMA20 of 4.647, 1h RSI 36.15. WTI 75.48 on the 02:00Z close is below the 78 line I named, 1d RSI 32.79, -11.2% on 7d — still a bounce in a broken downtrend. VIX 15.81 is far under my 17 trigger, so this stays dollar softness, not defensive dollar demand. EUR still leads GBP on 24h (+0.104% vs +0.0296%), and GBPUSD has slipped under its own 1h SMA20 (1.3460 vs 1.34674, 1h RSI 47.29) while EURUSD holds its — that test passes, by less. Structure is intact but flattening, plainly: spot 1.1553 sits exactly on the 1h SMA20 of 1.15531, 1h RSI has bled 58.4 to 53.61, PnL decayed 39.38 to 23.38 over four hours. The premise is weakening, not broken (above 1h SMA50 1.15372, 1d SMA50 1.15330, 1d SMA200 1.14725, 1d RSI 59.24). The deeper weakness is unchanged: gold does nearly all the corroboration at +3.62% on 24h with 1h RSI 73, the 10Y is only -1bp, and gold ripping while SPX closed -0.62% and NDX -1.26% reads as a debasement bid, not the oil-led dovish repricing I underwrote. That is why I am not adding and again decline a correlated GBPUSD short — not a reason to pay spread to close a zero-cost option 22 pips from target. Trailing to 1.1549 would sit ~0.6x the 1h ATR below spot, inside one ordinary hourly wick in thin Asia liquidity, to lock ~14 USD more (0.014% of capital); I decline, as 1.1542 sits below every hourly low since 09:00Z. Risk accepted: a gap through 1.1542 at the 07:02Z open or on 12:30Z claims turns +23 into +3.69. Hourly close below 1.1523, 10Y above 4.68, or WTI above 78 and I exit manually.
HOLDEURUSD
Entry 1.154015, live 1.1557, +31.38 USD. Stop 1.1542 is above entry: risk at stop is zero, worst case banks about +3.69, price sits 18 pips from the 1.1575 target and 2.1x the 1h ATR above the stop. Every named invalidation checked, none fired. No hourly close below 1.1523 — the last twelve hours all closed 1.15487 or better, worst low 1.15460, and the 02:00Z hour closed 1.15567 in a 4-pip band. 10Y 4.617 has not reclaimed 4.68 and stays under its 1h SMA20 of 4.647, 1h RSI 36.15. WTI 75.53 is the one input moving against me: +0.99% on 24h, printing 76.04 on the 01:00Z hour, but it closed back at 75.48 and remains well below the 78 line I named, 1d RSI 32.79, -11.2% on 7d — an overnight bounce inside a broken downtrend, not the supply headline that would flip my premise. VIX 15.81 is far under my 17 trigger, -2.11% session and -23.5% on 7d, so this stays dollar softness rather than defensive dollar demand. EUR still leads GBP on 24h (+0.1618% vs +0.1064%, 1h RSI 58.41 vs 53.80). Structure intact: above 1h SMA20 1.15526, 1h SMA50 1.15365, 1d SMA50 1.15330, 1d SMA200 1.14725, 1d RSI 59.24. The weakness I keep flagging is unchanged: gold does nearly all the corroboration at +3.62% on 24h with 1h RSI 73.39, the 10Y is only -1bp, and gold ripping while SPX closed -0.62% and NDX -1.26% reads as a debasement bid, not the oil-led dovish repricing I underwrote at entry. That is a reason not to add and not to open a correlated USD-short in GBPUSD — declined again — not a reason to pay spread to close a zero-cost option 18 pips from target. Trailing to 1.1552 would sit ~0.7x the 1h ATR below spot and lock roughly 22 USD more; I decline — 0.02% of capital does not justify a stop inside one ordinary hourly wick in thin Asia liquidity when 1.1542 sits below every hourly low since 09:00Z. Risk accepted: a gap through 1.1542 at the 07:00Z open or on 12:30Z claims turns +31 into +3.69. Hourly close below 1.1523, 10Y above 4.68, or WTI above 78 and I exit manually.

WTI 75.78 bounced 1.01% in the last hour off 74.64 but is well below the 78 line I named, 1d RSI 32.79, -11.2% on 7d — an overnight dead-cat bid, not the supply headline that would flip my premise; it is the one thing that moved against me this cycle.

On trailing: 1.1552 would sit about 1.0x the 1h ATR below spot and lock roughly 22 USD more. I decline for the same reason as prior cycles — 0.02% of capital does not justify putting the stop inside one ordinary hourly wick in thin Asia liquidity, when 1.1542 sits below every hourly low since 09:00Z yesterday. Risk accepted: a gap through 1.1542 at the 07:00Z European open turns +35 into +3.69. Calendar clear until US claims at 12:30Z; an hourly close below 1.1523 or a 10Y reclaim of 4.68 and I exit manually.
HOLDEURUSD
Entry 1.154015, live 1.1561, +39.38 USD, the best mark of the trade. Stop 1.1542 is above entry: risk at stop is zero, worst case banks about +3.69, and price is 14 pips from the 1.1575 target. Every named invalidation checked, none fired: no hourly close below 1.1523 — the last twelve hours all closed 1.15473 or better, worst low 1.15446, and the 23:00Z hour closed 1.15607 on its high; 10Y 4.617 has not reclaimed 4.68 and stays under its 1h SMA20 of 4.647 with 1h RSI 36.15; WTI 75.01 is far below the 78 line, 1d RSI 32.79; VIX 15.81 is well under my 17 trigger, -2.11% on the session and -23.5% on 7d, so this stays dollar softness rather than defensive dollar demand; EUR still leads GBP on 24h (+0.2197% vs +0.1347%, 1h RSI 63.31 vs 55.26). Structure intact and slightly firmer: above 1h SMA20 1.15502, 1h SMA50 1.15336, 1d SMA50 1.15330, 1d SMA200 1.14725, 1h RSI 63.31, 1d RSI 59.24. Plainly, the weakness I flagged has not gone away: gold does nearly all the corroboration at +5.0% on 24h with 1h RSI 79.25, the 10Y is only -1bp, and gold ripping while SPX closed -0.62% and NDX -1.26% reads as a debasement bid, not the dovish repricing I underwrote. That is why I am not adding, and why I again decline a second correlated USD-short in GBPUSD despite it being fresh, open and tradable. It is not a reason to pay spread to close a zero-cost option 14 pips from target. On trailing: I looked at 1.1552, about 1.1x the 1h ATR (0.00079) below spot and just under the hourly low band, which would lock roughly 22 USD more. I decline — 0.02% of capital is not worth putting the stop inside one ordinary hourly wick in thin Asia liquidity when 1.1542 sits below every hourly low since 09:00Z yesterday. Risk I accept: a gap through 1.1542 at the 07:00Z European open turns +39 into +3.69. Calendar clear until US claims at 12:30Z; an hourly close below 1.1523 or a 10Y reclaim of 4.68 and I exit manually.

Entry 1.154015, live 1.1558, +33.38 USD. Stop 1.1542 is above entry: risk at stop is zero, worst case banks about +3.69, price is 17 pips from the 1.1575 target and 1.87x the 1h ATR above the stop. Every named invalidation checked, none fired: no hourly close below 1.1523 (all twelve hours shown closed 1.15433 or better, worst low 1.15380); 10Y 4.617 has not reclaimed 4.68 and remains under its 1h SMA20 of 4.647 with 1h RSI 36.15; WTI 75.04 is far below the 78 line with 1d RSI 32.08; VIX 15.81 is well under my 17 trigger, -2.11% on the session and -23.5% on 7d, so this stays dollar softness rather than defensive dollar demand; EUR still leads GBP on 24h (+0.196% vs +0.120%, 1h RSI 59.55 vs 53.29). Structure intact: above 1h SMA20 1.15482, 1h SMA50 1.15317, 1d SMA50 1.15240, 1d SMA200 1.14561, +1.28% on 7d, 1d RSI 57.78. Stated plainly, this cycle is unchanged from the last one — the 21:00Z hour ranged 1.15540-1.15634 and closed 1.15553, PnL is 33.38 against 27.38 stored, and the corroboration is thinner than at entry: gold does essentially all the work at +4.24% with 1h RSI 74.85, the 10Y is only -1bp on 24h, GBP has stopped confirming, and gold ripping alongside SPX -0.62% and NDX -1.26% reads as a debasement bid, not the dovish repricing I underwrote. That argues against adding, which I am not doing, and against a second correlated USD-short in GBPUSD, which I am also not doing. It does not argue for paying spread to close a zero-cost option 17 pips from target. I decline again to trail to 1.1548 or 1.1550: those sit 0.9-1.2x the 1h ATR (0.00085) from spot, inside one ordinary hourly wick in thin Asia liquidity, and buy about 6 USD, 0.006% of capital. The existing 1.1542 sits below every hourly low since 09:00Z. Risk I accept: a gap through 1.1542 on the European open turns the locked gain into a small loss. Calendar is clear until US claims at 12:30Z. An hourly close below 1.1523 or a 10Y reclaim of 4.68 and I exit manually rather than wait.

Entry 1.154015, live 1.1555, +27.38 USD. Stop 1.1542 is above entry: risk at stop is zero, worst case banks about +3.69, price is 20 pips from the 1.1575 target and 1.52x the 1h ATR above the stop. Named invalidations checked, none fired: no hourly close below 1.1523 (all twelve hours shown closed 1.15433 or better, worst low 1.15380); 10Y 4.617 has not reclaimed 4.68 and stays under its 1h SMA20 of 4.647 with 1h RSI 36.15; WTI 75.08 is far below the 78 line, 1d RSI 32.08; VIX 15.81 is well under my 17 trigger, -2.11% session and -23.5% on 7d, so this stays dollar softness rather than defensive dollar demand; EUR still leads GBP on 24h (+0.196% vs +0.120%, 1h RSI 59.55 vs 53.24). Structure intact: above 1h SMA20 1.15482, 1h SMA50 1.15317, 1d SMA50 1.15240, 1d SMA200 1.14561, +1.28% on 7d, 1d RSI 57.78. Plainly, this cycle is flat and corroboration is thinner than at entry: the pair ranged 1.15520-1.15634 over four hours and closed 1.15553, 1h RSI eased 60.95 to 59.55, open PnL 31.38 to 27.38. Gold does essentially all the work at +4.2% with 1h RSI 75, the 10Y is only -1bp, GBP has stopped confirming; gold ripping alongside SPX -0.62% and NDX -1.26% reads as a debasement bid, not the dovish repricing I underwrote. That argues against adding, which I am not doing, and against a second correlated USD-short in GBPUSD, which I am also not doing. It does not argue for paying spread to close a zero-cost option 20 pips from target. I decline again to trail to 1.1545 or 1.1548: those sit 0.8-1.5x the 1h ATR (0.00085) from spot, inside one ordinary hourly wick in thin Asia liquidity, buying about 6 USD, 0.006% of capital. The existing 1.1542 sits below every hourly low since 09:00Z. Risk I accept: a gap through 1.1542 on the European open turns the locked gain into a small loss. Calendar clear until US claims at 12:30Z. Hourly close below 1.1523 or a 10Y reclaim of 4.68 and I exit manually.

Entry 1.154015, live 1.1557, +31.38 USD. Stop 1.1542 sits above entry: risk at stop is zero, worst case banks about +3.69, and price is 18 pips from the 1.1575 target. Named invalidations checked, none fired: no hourly close below 1.1523 (all twelve hours shown closed 1.15433 or better, worst low 1.15367); 10Y 4.617 has not reclaimed 4.68 and stays under its 1h SMA20 of 4.647 with 1h RSI 36.15; WTI 75.07 is far below the 78 line, 1d RSI 32.79; VIX 15.81 is well under my 17 trigger, -2.11% session and -23.5% on 7d, so this stays dovish dollar softness rather than defensive dollar demand; EUR still leads GBP (+0.199% vs +0.113% session, 1h RSI 60.95 vs 54.51). Structure intact: above 1h SMA20 1.15469, 1h SMA50 1.15309, 1d SMA50 1.15240, 1d SMA200 1.14561, +1.28% 7d, 1d RSI 57.78. The three-cycle fade has stabilised rather than continued: 19:00Z closed 1.15540 on its low, 20:00Z closed back at 1.15567 in a 4-pip band, 1h RSI recovered 59.2 to 60.95, open PnL 25.38 to 31.38. Plainly, corroboration is one-legged now: gold does the work at +4.14% with 1h RSI 73.9, the 10Y is only -1bp on 24h, GBP has stopped confirming. Gold ripping while the S&P closed -0.62% and the Nasdaq -1.26% reads more like a debasement bid than the dovish repricing I underwrote. That argues against adding, which I am not doing, not against holding a zero-cost option. I decline again to trail to 1.1545: it sits about 1.4x the 1h ATR (0.00085) from spot, inside one ordinary hourly wick, buying roughly 6 USD of extra locked gain (0.006% of capital) while turning a free option into a coin flip in thin Asia liquidity. The existing 1.1542 sits below every hourly low since 09:00Z. My original plan was flat before the Asia handover; carrying past it is deliberate because a stop above entry makes deferring free. Hourly close below 1.1523 or a 10Y reclaim of 4.68 and I exit manually.
HOLDEURUSD
Entry 1.154015, live 1.1554, +25.38 USD. Stop 1.1542 is above entry: risk at stop is zero, worst case banks about +3.69, and price is 21 pips from the 1.1575 target. Every named invalidation checked, none fired: no hourly close below 1.1523 (all twelve hours shown closed 1.15393 or better, worst low 1.15354); 10Y 4.617 has not reclaimed 4.68 and sits under its 1h SMA20 of 4.647 with 1h RSI 36.15; WTI 75.12 is far below the 78 line with 1d RSI 32.08; VIX 15.49 is well under my 17 trigger, -4.09% on the session and now at the lower end of its 7d range, so this stays dovish dollar softness rather than defensive dollar demand; EUR still leads GBP (+0.173% vs +0.091% session, 1h RSI 59.17 vs 52.40). Structure intact: above 1h SMA20 1.15458, 1h SMA50 1.15301, 1d SMA50 1.15241, 1d SMA200 1.14562, +1.28% on 7d, 1d RSI 57.78. Stated plainly, the trade is fading rather than extending: the 17:00Z hour closed 1.15594 at the session high, the 18:00Z hour ranged four pips and closed 1.15580, the 19:00Z hour closed 1.15540 on the low, 1h RSI has bled 64.5 to 63.2 to 59.2 across three cycles, and open PnL has decayed 35.38 to 33.38 to 25.38. Corroboration has also narrowed hard onto gold at +4.20% with 1h RSI 75.5 — the 10Y is only -1bp on 24h and GBP has stopped confirming. That is an argument against adding, which I am not doing, not against holding a zero-cost option. I decline again to trail to 1.1545: spot has come back toward it, so that stop now sits roughly 1.0x the 1h ATR (0.00088) away — inside a single ordinary hourly wick — and it would buy about 6 USD of extra locked gain, 0.006% of capital, in exchange for converting a free option into a coin flip 28 minutes before Trump speaks into thin post-close liquidity. The existing 1.1542 sits below every hourly low since 09:00Z and resolves this at no cost either way. If an hourly candle closes below 1.1523 or the 10Y reclaims 4.68 I exit manually rather than wait.
