Is $60,000 Bitcoin’s tripwire that could unleash a cascade of selloffs?
Friday, February 13,2026,16:07
Bitcoin’s $60,000 level has become a critical front line for the market. A sustained break below it could amplify volatility as heavy put positioning on Deribit, dealer hedging flows, BTC-backed loan liquidations, and leveraged forced selling potentially combine into a cascading move. With the 200-week moving average near $58,000 and growing focus on downside scenarios, traders are watching whether support can hold—or whether a deeper slide could follow. .. read more..
EUR/USD. Smart Money. The Market Has Gone Quiet Again
Friday, February 13,2026,12:46
The EUR/USD pair rebounded from bullish imbalance 12 and reversed in favor of the European currency, just as I had warned. Thus, traders received another bullish signal that allowed them to enter long positions. On Wednesday, the situation became somewhat risky for the bulls for several hours as they reacted to the 130,000 jobs created in the U.S. in January. However, it was later revealed that the U.S. Bureau of Statistics revised the total number of jobs created in 2025 downward by 1 million. According to the updated data, slightly more than 200,000 jobs were created over the entire year, which translates into an average monthly increase of about 19,000. As we can see, the bears did not... .. read more..
GBP/USD. Smart Money. The Pound Ignores Both Positive and Negative Factors
Friday, February 13,2026,12:43
The GBP/USD pair has fully filled the last bullish imbalance, receiving a reaction from its lower boundary. Thus, a bullish signal has been formed for the pound as well, exactly as I expected. Most importantly, buy signals were formed almost simultaneously for both the pound and the euro. This significantly increases the probability of further growth in both currency pairs. At this point, new trades have been opened, the news background supports the bulls, the U.S. labor market remains in a state that cannot be described as "positive," and Donald Trump continues to wage battles against the entire world, including his own country. There are currently no bearish patterns, nor is there any c... .. read more..

EUR/USD's Next Move: Hot inflation to 1.1785 or cooling jobs to 1.2000?
Friday, February 13,2026,06:12
EUR/USD is tightly coiled ahead of the crucial U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) release, which was delayed this month. The pair's fate hangs on two factors: Inflation Realities and Labor Market Strength. A "hot" CPI print is expected to reinforce the Fed's hawkish pause, potentially driving EUR/USD down to the 1.1785 support. Conversely, further signs of a cooling U.S. labor market, like rising jobless claims, could weaken the Dollar and allow the Euro to retest the 1.2000 psychological barrier. .. read more..

Level and Target Adjustments for the U.S. Session – February 13th
Friday, February 13,2026,05:34
Today, the euro, British pound, and Canadian dollar were traded using the Mean Reversion strategy. I did not execute any trades using the Momentum strategy. The absence of important statistics affected market volatility, allowing the Mean Reversion strategy to perform quite well. In the second half of the day, we are expecting important U.S. inflation data. This release is of primary importance for shaping further market sentiment, especially regarding Federal Reserve monetary policy. Of particular interest is the Core Consumer Price Index, which excludes volatile components such as food and energy. This indicator is often regarded by the Fed as a more accurate reflection of underlying in... .. read more..
USD/JPY: Tips for Beginner Traders on February 13th (U.S. Session)
Friday, February 13,2026,05:29
Trade Review and Advice on Trading the Japanese Yen The test of the 153.45 price level occurred when the MACD indicator had already moved significantly above the zero line, which limited the pair's upward potential. For this reason, I did not buy the dollar. The growth of the Japanese yen appears to have stalled. From a technical perspective, a gradual reversal toward strengthening and an upward correction in the USD/JPY pair is taking place, which could be driven by today's U.S. inflation data. The reports have the potential to trigger another surge in volatility in USD/JPY. The focus will be on January's Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the Core CPI. The dynamics of the Core CPI are of pa... .. read more..

Trade Review and Advice on Trading the British Pound The first test of the 1.3599 price level occurred when the MACD indicator had already moved significantly below the zero line, which limited the pair's downward potential. The second test of 1.3599 coincided with MACD being in the oversold area, leading to the implementation of Scenario No. 2 for buying the pound. As a result, the pair rose by more than 20 points. Important U.S. inflation data expected today carry the potential to create additional pressure on the GBP/USD pair.

EUR/USD Forecast on February 13, 2026
Friday, February 13,2026,04:17
The EUR/USD pair traded mostly sideways on Thursday, and the rebound from the 38.2% corrective level at 1.1889 allows traders to expect a continuation of the decline toward the 50.0% Fibonacci level at 1.1830. For now, I am not counting on a deeper drop, but today the U.S. inflation report will be released, and things may not go according to plan. A rebound from the 1.1769–1.1830 support level would favor the euro and a resumption of growth toward the 23.6% corrective level at 1.1963. The wave structure on the hourly chart remains simple. The latest completed downward wave did not break the low of the previous wave, and the latest upward wave did not break the previous low. Thus, the tren... .. read more..
GBP/USD Forecast on February 13, 2026
Friday, February 13,2026,04:12
On the hourly chart, the GBP/USD pair made two more pullbacks to the 1.3595–1.3620 support zone on Thursday, but the bears are still unable to overcome this area. This zone represents the British pound's main source of hope. A rebound from this area today would favor the pound and a new rise toward the 161.8% corrective level at 1.3755. A consolidation below this zone would increase the likelihood of further decline toward the 1.3526–1.3539 support level. The wave structure remains "bearish." The latest completed downward wave broke the previous low, while the most recent upward wave failed to break the previous peak. To shift the trend back to "bullish," the pair needs to consolidate abo... .. read more..
