A new trading week is here, and there could be plenty of volatility ahead.
With important economic data on the calendar, the coming days could give us some interesting moves across the markets.
What instrument or pair are you watching most closely this week?
@justtpips These events could influence market sentiment, increase volatility, and create meaningful opportunities across major markets.
As always, the focus is on how price responds to the data.
The Chart
A chart isn't a crystal ball. It's a record of what buyers and sellers have already done.
A long consolidation tells you something.
A sudden expansion tells you something.
A failed breakout tells you something.
A sharp rejection tells you something.
The mistake is trying to turn every piece of information into a prediction.
Sometimes the best analysis is simply:
“What is price telling me right now?”
@justtpips This made me rethink how I look at price action.
The part about acceptance vs rejection really stood out. Sometimes we're so focused on the breakout that we forget to watch what happens after it.
@justtpips Solid reminder. First week of August was mixed for me, a couple of clean setups that paid, but I still forced one trade that wasn’t in the plan. Weekend review is already helping me see the pattern.
The first trading week of August is almost over. How did it go for you? Did it play out the way you expected?
The weekend is a great time to slow down and review your trades. Look at what you did well, where you made mistakes, and whether you stuck to your trading plan. Every trade is a lesson if you're willing to learn from it.
Then take some time to prepare for next week. Mark your key levels, plan your setups, and head into Monday with a clear mind.
One week won't define your trading journey. What really matters is how you reflect, adapt, and come back stronger.
How are you reviewing your week?
I've done my part.
The setup is in place, risk is managed with less than a 50 pip stop loss, and now it's up to the market.
We can't control the outcome, only our execution.
Held this GBPUSD buy since Wednesday.
The market was quiet with very little volatility, and price barely moved. Then NFP was released and price rallied straight to my TP.
The market doesn't always react immediately to news, but when it does, the move can be fast.
🚨 High Impact News | 12:30 GMT
The U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report is one of the biggest market-moving events of the month.
Expect heightened volatility. Many traders will overtrade, chase the initial move, or get stopped out.
Experienced traders understand that not every move is worth trading. Sometimes, the best decision is to wait for the market to settle and reveal its direction before risking capital.
Don't let FOMO make your decisions today. Protect your capital first.
Will you be trading NFP, or waiting for the dust to settle? 👇
@justtpips The truth is that people accept spending years mastering a profession, but expect to master trading in 3 months. Every skill has a learning curve.
Most people spend years building a career or learning a skill… then expect #FOREX to reward them in a few months.
The FX market rewards patience, discipline, risk management, and continuous learning, not shortcuts.
So the real question is: Are you willing to give trading the same level of commitment you give to everything else that matters in your life?
GBPAUD update
Price is still respecting the demand zone I shared earlier. As long as 1.9064–1.9110 holds, the bullish bias remains valid.
Risk is defined. Market would decide the outcome.
GBPAUD 1H
Price is sitting at a key confluence:
Ascending trendline, demand zone (1.9064-1.9110)
As long as this area holds, bullish continuation toward 1.9370 remains valid.
A break below the zone opens the path toward 1.9008.

What’s your bias on this?
