🆚 Japanese Candles vs. Heiken Ashi

🕯 Japanese Candlesticks
Japanese candlesticks are the most popular way to display price on a chart. Each candle shows the open, high, low, and close of a trading session, allowing traders to quickly see market sentiment and identify patterns.

➕ Pros:
✅Show exact prices for the chosen period.
✅Great for analyzing patterns (e.g., engulfing, hammer, etc.).
✅Easy to interpret short-term price movements.

❌ Cons:
➖ Can be noisy — small fluctuations may be distracting.
➖ Sometimes harder to see the overall trend without additional indicators.

🕯 Heiken Ashi
Heiken Ashi charts look similar to Japanese candlesticks but use a modified price calculation formula. This smooths the chart and helps highlight trends.

➕ Pros:
✅ Reduce market noise, making trends easier to spot.
✅ Help identify trend continuation or reversal.
✅ Ideal for trend-following traders.

❌ Cons:
➖ Do not show exact open and close prices for the period.
➖ May hide short-term signals and patterns.

📌 Each chart type has its strengths. Japanese candlesticks are better for detailed analysis and pattern recognition, while Heiken Ashi is great for clearly seeing trends. The best approach is to use both types together and adapt them to your trading style.

XAUUSD may currently be in an accumulation phase before the next major rise. Very similar to what we saw in Q2 2025, when the price consolidated quietly before breaking upward.

🔶 Global investors are returning to gold. Net inflows into gold ETFs reached $2.9 billion/ week.
🔶 Central banks continue to buy aggressively, according to the WGC.

📌 Overall, there is potential for growth of +26% to $5,500 per ounce in a mid-term perspective.

🏆 World’s Top Currencies vs. the US Dollar

When you think of the strongest currencies, you might first picture the USD, EUR or GBP. But in terms of actual value today, they’re almost in the lower half of the top 10.

Here’s the top 10 strongest currencies against the US dollar:

🇰🇼 Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD) ≈ 3.28 USD
🇧🇭 Bahraini Dinar (BHD) ≈ 2.65 USD
🇴🇲 Omani Rial (OMR) ≈ 2.60 USD
🇯🇴 Jordanian Dinar (JOD) ≈ 1.41 USD
🇬🇧 British Pound (GBP) ≈ 1.36 USD
🇬🇮 Gibraltar Pound (GIP) ≈ 1.36 USD
🇰🇾 Cayman Islands Dollar (KYD) ≈ 1.20 USD
🇨🇭 Swiss Franc (CHF) ≈ 1.16 USD
🇪🇺 Euro (EUR) ≈ 1.11 USD
🇺🇸 US Dollar (USD) = 1 USD.

❓ Why do these currencies sit at the top?

✅ Strong underlying economies or natural-resource backing (e.g., oil wealth)
✅ Low inflation, stable monetary policy, and/or currency pegs.
✅ Small populations or unique financial sectors (e.g., the Cayman Islands) that boost currency value despite their size.

What it means for traders:

❗️ If you trade currencies, don't assume that “big players” (USD, EUR, GBP) automatically mean strength..
❗️ Less prominent currencies may offer interesting opportunities for diversification or hedging, depending on their economic support.
❗️ The strength of a currency depends on economic fundamentals and market expectations, which can change rapidly.
