Our Market in Spotlight in last weeks edition we looked at the EURUSD and how it had held key support at 1.03400-1.04100.
This week has seen price break above the 1.06400-1.07100 zone and hold it on a retest, which means we can shift our bias to longs on the short term time frames, whilst we stay above this zone?
Crypto Watch
Bitcoin continues to consolidate below the 29600-31420 zone on the Daily Chart, with price seeming to be?accepting below here now, which continues to favour the bears.
Any impulsive moves to the upside and through 29600-31420, and we would still look for short reversals from the 34150-35450 and 37610-38910 zones.
If we do start to see further impulsive moves to the downside then we can look to target the 18240-19890 zone but should be aware and manage any positions if we see a potential liquidity grab below Mays current low of 25338.

Market in Spotlight
Back to the S&P 500 this week, and it was a big week for the index and the first real signs of positive sentiment for a while.
After 7 consecutive weeks of losses, the SPX finally posted some strong gains on the Weekly Close.
On the Weekly this has meant it has set up a reversal and?a close above the?4100-4150?zone, also showing a false break signal of the?3925-3975?support zone.
This does not mean the SPX is out of the bearish clutches just yet, as we still have the?4260-4315?zone which can act as resistance, and we have the dynamic resistance of the Weekly moving averages here. I would expect some form of reaction from here, even if it is a weak one on the lower time frames.
If that reaction is impulsive to the downside, and we start seeing acceptance back below the lower zones, then this would continue the bearish tone on the index.
However, if the S&P can take its strength forward and breakthrough that?4260-4315?resistance, we even potentially have a continuation on the Monthly charts to the upside, which can see movements back towards?4580-4640, and possibly even another assault on new All-Time Highs.?

The Week Ahead
A very short, 3-day week?here in the UK due to the Queens Jubilee, and there will be no real high-impact news until later in the week.
We have the CAD rate announcement at 3pm on Wednesday, which we will need to be wary of. And if we are holding positions past Wednesday, then it will be important to manage any risk ahead of the ADP on Thursday at 13.15pm and Non-Farm Payrolls on Friday at 13.30pm
Question?of the Week...
What should I do with my profits?
First of all - celebrate! If you are making money consistently in the markets, you have mastered trading and this is no small feat - and should definitely be celebrated.
When you first start making profits from trading, it is important to reward yourself, even in a small way by taking yourself and your family out for a nice meal, or treating you all to your favourite takeaway.
However, once you start making money consistently - you have to make the most sensible decision based on your circumstances.
My first instance is to advise you to compound your account. This is the idea of using your profits to increase leverage and therefore returns over a longer period. If you can do this, this can have a significant impact on how quickly you can achieve your upside targets.
Take out what is necessary and then leave the rest to work for you.
If your account size is already at a point where it can provide you with the returns you desire, then you need to detail how you will pay yourself as part of your plan. This means how you will also pay yourself, when you do not make as much money on a particular month - without it affecting your ability to trade and make the same returns.
Speaking to a Financial Advisor would also be a sensible thing when you reach this milestone.
