Régime intrajournalier contrasté et peu lisible : détente du VIX et des rendements américains favorable au risque, mais indices américains encore sous leurs moyennes horaires principales et divergents entre eux. Le dollar recule fortement, tandis que EUR/USD et GBP/USD sont déjà surachetés à court terme. Les minutes du FOMC dans moins de deux heures augmentent fortement le risque de retournement et de volatilité.

OPEN^NDQ
Open a small Nasdaq 100 long because trend alignment, positive 24-hour momentum and falling volatility provide a defined continuation setup with more than 2:1 reward-to-risk to the target.
CLOSE^DAX
Close because the breakout continuation thesis has failed: DAX reversed from 26573.50 and is back below the 26504.54 prior-day high. The latest completed hours show fading momentum, while daily RSI is elevated and the European session is nearing its close. Exiting before the stop preserves capital rather than waiting for a deeper failed-breakout decline.
OPEN^DAX
Open a small DAX long because fresh data confirm relative-strength continuation through prior daily and weekly resistance, with defined risk and favorable reward-to-risk.
CLOSEEURUSD
Close before the imminent US CPI release. EURUSD has reclaimed its 20-hour and 50-hour averages, hourly RSI has risen to 57.69, and the fresh intraday structure no longer supports the original bearish continuation thesis. The prior US-yield support is also unconfirmed because rates data are stale while the market is closed. Preserving capital is preferable to retaining a weakened short through binary event risk.
HOLDEURUSD
EURUSD remains below its 20-hour, 50-hour and 50-day averages and below the 1.1562 invalidation, so the mild bearish thesis remains intact. The position has minimal defined risk and is still within its 1-3 day horizon. Hold unchanged, but do not add exposure ahead of the high-impact US CPI release in about 88 minutes.
HOLDEURUSD
EURUSD remains below its 20-hour, 50-hour and 50-day averages and below the 1.1562 invalidation, preserving the mild bearish thesis. The position is slightly profitable with minimal defined risk. Hold unchanged, but do not add exposure ahead of the high-impact US CPI release.
HOLDEURUSD
EURUSD remains below its 20-hour, 50-hour and 50-day averages and below the 1.1562 invalidation, preserving the mild bearish thesis. Downside momentum is limited and US CPI is approaching, but the position remains within its 1-3 day horizon with very small defined risk. Hold unchanged and do not add exposure.
HOLDEURUSD
EURUSD remains below its 20-hour, 50-hour and 50-day averages and below the 1.1562 invalidation, so the short thesis remains intact. Momentum is weak, with hourly RSI at 45.66 and nearly flat 24-hour performance, but the position remains within its 1-3 day horizon and has minimal defined risk. Hold unchanged and do not add before US CPI.
HOLDEURUSD
EURUSD remains below its 20-hour, 50-hour and 50-day averages and well below the 1.1562 invalidation, so the short thesis remains intact. Hourly RSI has recovered to 45.66 and 24-hour movement is nearly flat, showing weak downside follow-through, but the position has minimal defined risk and remains within its 1-3 day horizon. Hold unchanged and do not add before US CPI.
HOLDEURUSD
EURUSD remains below its 20-hour, 50-hour and 50-day averages, with hourly RSI at 37.6 and price still well below the 1.1562 invalidation. The short is modestly profitable and its defined risk is minimal. Hold unchanged, but do not add ahead of high-impact US CPI.
HOLDEURUSD
EURUSD remains below its 20-hour, 50-hour and 50-day averages, with hourly RSI at 41.4 and price still well below the 1.1562 invalidation. The 1.1520 target remains plausible within the 1-3 day horizon. Hold unchanged because risk is minimal, but do not add ahead of US CPI.
HOLDEURUSD
EURUSD remains below its 20-hour, 50-hour and 50-day averages, hourly RSI has weakened to 38.52, and price remains well below the 1.1562 invalidation. The 1.1520 target is still plausible within the active 1-3 day horizon. Hold unchanged with minimal defined risk and do not add ahead of US CPI.

Journée de repricing macro violent contre le dollar, mais qui ne se transmet pas aux actions. Le dollar est vendu contre tout le bloc : EUR/USD +0,78% à 1,1667, GBP/USD +0,55% à 1,3607, USD/JPY -0,70% à 158,45. Le 10 ans américain perd 5,9 pb à 4,651 et l'or explose de +3,58% à 4548, soit +2,93% sur 24h après avoir traversé sa SMA20 horaire de 4428 en une seule bougie (12:00Z). Le VIX recule de 4,40% à 15,22, sous sa SMA50 journalière de 17,03. Tout l'appareil de mesure pointe vers un assouplissement anticipé des conditions financières. Le problème est la contrepartie manquante : les actions ne suivent pas. Le S&P 500 ne gagne que 0,12% à 7726 et reste sous sa SMA20 horaire (7741) et sa SMA50 horaire (7754) ; le Nasdaq 100 est en baisse de 0,22% à 29514, à 280 points sous ses deux moyennes horaires, malgré un rebond franc depuis son plus bas de 29292. Sur sept jours les deux indices sont négatifs (-0,47% et -0,12%). Une baisse des taux et une baisse de la volatilité qui n'achètent pas d'actions, avec l'or en tête du mouvement, ressemblent davantage à une prime de débasement ou de risque budgétaire qu'à un régime de reflation, et cette lecture n'est pas favorable aux indices. L'Europe est fermée (CAC et DAX, réouverture 20/08 07:00Z) et termine faible, le CAC clôturant à 8501,91 exactement sur son plus bas du jour, RSI horaire à 26,83. Les instruments porteurs du signal le plus net (or, baril, USD/JPY, VIX, 10 ans) sont tous non négociables en simulation ; le champ éligible se réduit au S&P 500, au Nasdaq 100, à l'EUR/USD et au GBP/USD. Régime : extension généralisée, direction non confirmée par les actifs risqués, à moins de deux heures d'un événement à fort impact.

HOLDGBPUSD
Premise unchanged and still the cleaner of the two FX shorts. GBP remains the weakest major at -0.34% 24h and -1.06% 7d, with daily RSI 36.66 the lowest in the FX set. 1.3293 continues to trade below 1h SMA20/50 (1.32965/1.33182) and below daily SMA50/200 (1.33459/1.34162), and price keeps probing the broken prior-week low at 1.33003 from underneath — the 07:00 candle tagged 1.33051 and closed back at 1.32931 — which is rejection at reclaimed resistance, not a reversal. The last twelve hourly candles are compressed in 1.3286-1.3305, a continuation base. At -4.39 unrealized, roughly -0.12R, this is entry noise and offers nothing to protect by tightening. Stop 1.3322 retains 2.93x 1h ATR of room at 0.038% of capital, the correct buffer to carry through the 14:00 UTC USD print. Stop 1.3322 / target 1.3230 unchanged.
HOLDEURUSD
Nothing in this slot changes the short, and the small drift in my favour is not yet worth acting on. 1.1370 remains below 1h SMA20/50 (1.13779/1.13857) and far below daily SMA50/200 (1.14019/1.16070); 24h -0.34%, 7d -0.40%. Daily RSI 40.0 and 1h RSI 39.7 are bearish without being oversold, leaving room toward the 1.1330 target. The overnight Asia range 1.1365-1.1382 is noise: price never approached the 1.1389 invalidation, still 2.40x 1h ATR away at 0.034% of capital. Cross-asset dollar support persists via gold -1.29% 24h (1h RSI 30.3) and WTI -2.98% 24h. Position is effectively flat at -0.07R, entry noise either way. I specifically decline to tighten toward break-even ahead of the 14:00 UTC CB Consumer Confidence print, because the 2.4-ATR stop is what lets this trade survive a pre-release shakeout. No change to stop 1.1389 / target 1.1330.
HOLDGBPUSD
Premise unchanged and now marginally confirmed. GBP is still the weakest major at -0.49% 24h and -1.06% 7d versus -0.34%/-0.40% for EUR, and 1.3289 continues to trade below 1h SMA20/50 (1.32984/1.33189) and daily SMA50/200 (1.33459/1.34162). Price keeps retesting the broken prior-week low at 1.33003 from underneath rather than reclaiming it, with the last twelve hourly candles compressed in 1.3286-1.3305 — continuation basing, not reversal. 1h RSI has slipped to 35.8 alongside daily RSI 36.7, weak but not extreme on the daily. The trade is barely positive at +0.01R, so there is no gain to protect and moving the stop would tighten it for its own sake. Stop 1.3322 retains 3.53x 1h ATR of room at 0.038% of capital, the correct buffer to hold through the 14:00 UTC USD print. No change to stop 1.3322 / target 1.3230.
HOLD^CAC
Not executable and not broken. The Europe cash session is closed until 07:02 UTC and execution requires an open session, so neither an exit nor a stop change can be actioned this slot. The thesis also stands on its merits: 8406.06 holds above the 8380 stop and above 1h SMA20/50 (8376.29/8373.88) and daily SMA50/200 (8309.32/8179.21), 1h RSI 61.9 and daily RSI 53.7 still constructive, +80.26 unrealized. The stop sits above the 8373.12 entry, locking 17.21 of gain with risk_at_stop at zero. VIX 18.67 has not breached the stated 20 invalidation, nor has price closed under 8250. The honest risk is a sympathy gap on the US selloff through a stop only 0.95x 1h ATR away, but that resolves near break-even, and pre-tightening a stop I cannot move is not an available action. Keeping stop 8380 / target 8550.
HOLD^CAC
Europe cash session is closed until 07:02 UTC and execution requires an open session, so no exit or stop change is executable this slot. The thesis is also intact: 8406.06 holds above the 8380 stop and above 1h SMA20/50 (8376.29/8373.88) and daily SMA50/200 (8309.32/8179.21), at +80.26 unrealized with the stop already above entry locking 17.21 of gain and zero risk at stop. VIX at 18.67 has not breached the stated 20 invalidation, and price is still above the prior day's low of 8402.81. Keeping stop 8380 / target 8550 rather than pre-tightening into an overnight gap.
HOLDEURUSD
Nothing in this slot changes the short. 1.1373 is still below 1h SMA20/50 (1.13794/1.13861) and far below daily SMA50/200 (1.14019/1.16070), daily RSI 40 and 1h RSI 41.62 are bearish without being oversold, and 24h is -0.31%. The overnight Asia grind between 1.1370 and 1.1381 is noise, not a reversal — price never approached the 1.1389 invalidation, which remains 2.01x 1h ATR away at only 0.034% of capital at risk. Cross-asset dollar support persists via oil -3.78% and gold -1.17% on 24h. No change to stop 1.1389 / target 1.1330; tightening ahead of the 14:00 UTC confidence print would convert ordinary range noise into a stop-out.
HOLDGBPUSD
Premise unchanged since entry three hours ago: 1.3295 remains below 1h SMA20/50 (1.33006/1.33196) and below daily SMA50/200 (1.33459/1.34162), and GBP is still the weakest major at -0.44% 24h and -1.06% 7d versus -0.31%/-0.40% for EUR. Price continues to retest the broken prior-week low at 1.33003 from underneath rather than reclaiming it, with the last twelve hourly candles compressed in 1.3286-1.3305 — continuation basing, not reversal. Daily RSI 36.66 and 1h RSI 39.34 are bearish but not extreme. Stop 1.3322 keeps 2.87x 1h ATR of room at 0.038% of capital, and -0.18R is entry noise. No change to stop 1.3322 / target 1.3230.
HOLD^CAC
Europe cash session is closed until 07:02 UTC and execution requires an open session, so neither an exit nor a stop change is executable this slot. The thesis is intact regardless: 8406.06 holds above the 8380 stop (0.31%, 0.95x 1h ATR) and above 1h SMA20/50 (8376.29/8373.88) and daily SMA50/200 (8309.32/8179.21), at +80.26 unrealized with the stop already above entry locking 17.21 of gain and zero risk at stop. VIX at 18.67 has not breached the stated 20 invalidation and the CAC closed the week +0.79%. Keeping stop 8380 / target 8550 rather than pre-tightening into an overnight gap.
HOLDEURUSD
Structure still supports the short and nothing in this slot changes it: 1.1378 remains below 1h SMA20/50 (1.13810/1.13864) and far below daily SMA50/200 (1.14019/1.16070), with daily RSI 40 and 24h -0.25%. The Asia grind off 1.1365 is shallow — 1h RSI 45.69 is neutral, not a reversal — and price has not come near the 1.1389 invalidation, which still sits 1.37x 1h ATR away with risk at stop of just 0.034% of capital. Cross-asset dollar support persists via oil -5.57% and gold -1.25% on the day. No change to stop 1.1389 / target 1.1330; tightening ahead of the 14:00 UTC confidence print would convert ordinary Asia noise into a stop-out.
HOLDGBPUSD
Premise from two slots ago is unchanged: 1.3299 is still below 1h SMA20/50 (1.33029/1.33201) and below daily SMA50/200 (1.33459/1.34162), and GBP remains the weakest major at -0.40% 24h and -1.06% 7d. Price is retesting the broken prior-week low at 1.33003 from underneath rather than reclaiming it, and the last twelve hourly candles hold a tight 1.3286-1.3300 compression that reads as continuation basing. Daily RSI 36.66 and 1h RSI 41.96 are bearish without being extreme. Stop 1.3322 retains 2.37x 1h ATR of room at 0.038% of capital, and -0.31R is entry noise, not evidence against the trade. No change to stop 1.3322 / target 1.3230.
HOLD^CAC
Europe cash session is closed until 2026-07-28T07:02 UTC and execution requires an open session, so no exit or stop change is executable this slot. Thesis is also intact: 8406.06 sits above the 8380 stop (0.31%, 0.95x 1h ATR) and above 1h SMA20/50 (8376.29/8373.88) and daily SMA50/200 (8309.32/8179.21), +80.26 unrealized with the stop already above entry locking 17.21 of gain. VIX at 18.67 has not breached the stated 20 invalidation. Keeping stop 8380 / target 8550 rather than pre-tightening into an overnight gap.
HOLDEURUSD
Structure still supports the short: 1.1380 remains below 1h SMA20/50 (1.13823/1.13864) and far below daily SMA50/200 (1.14019/1.16070), with daily RSI at 40 and 24h -0.25%. The Asia-session grind higher is shallow (1h RSI 47.86 is neutral, not a reversal) and price has not reclaimed the 1.1389 invalidation, which still sits 1.1x 1h ATR away with risk at stop of only 0.034% of capital. Cross-asset USD support persists via oil -5.57% 24h and gold -1.24% 24h. No change to stop 1.1389 / target 1.1330; tightening now would convert normal Asia noise into a stop-out ahead of the 14:00 UTC confidence print.
