From Lagos to the Charts: Which Setups Hit?

From the Streets of Lagos to the Trading Floors

There’s a guy in Lagos, name’s Dayo.

He doesn’t trade from a fancy office or sip espresso while reading CPI reports. He trades in a cramped barbershop in Yaba with an iPhone 11 and N2,000 data.

But here’s the twist…

He caught both the Gold short and GBPUSD bounce.
Why? Because he reads WMarkets Insider. He doesn’t gamble, he prepares.

Let’s see what you would’ve caught if you followed Saturday and Monday’s trade updates.

Saturday Setups Recap (July 13)

1. EURUSD

Setup: Bounce to 1.0850 zone, then sell
Outcome: ✅ Price rejected cleanly — short confirmed

2. XAUUSD (Gold)

Setup: Rejection from 2375–2380 resistance
Outcome: ✅ Gold hated yields — rejected hard — short confirmed

3. GBPCHF

Setup: Risk-on + BoE tone = potential long
Outcome: ⚠️ Played slow but leaned bullish — setup unfolding

4. GBPUSD

Setup: Flush to 1.2750 or 1.2611, watch for bounce
Outcome: ✅ Tapped 1.2750, lifted cleanly — long confirmed🔁 Monday Setups

🔁 Monday Setup Recap (July 15)

1. EUR/USD (Short) — ✅ Confirmed
   Retail sales rose 0.6% MoM, EUR/USD slid under 1.1600 to 1.1586.

2. XAU/USD (Short) — ✅ Double Confirmation
   Gold rejected again at 3,375, tested support near 3,300.

3. GBP/CHF (Long) — ⚠️ Still Brewing
   BoE kept tone firm after 3.6% CPI; pair is up, but momentum must prove itself.

4. USOIL (Long) — ✅ Clean Breakout
   Inventory build fear + global supply risk spurred a rally — prices now ~$77.20.

5. NZD/CAD (Short) — ✅ In Position
   Kiwi data underwhelmed; oil and CAD stable → pair slipped below 0.8200.

6. USD/JPY (Long) — ✅ Continued Rally
   With the BOJ silent and yields steady, USD/JPY stayed strong near 147.3.7.

7. Bitcoin (~$117.7k) — ❎ Dropped from $122k
   USD strength and persistent yields shook crypto — bearish signal validated.

8. Ethereum (~$3,547) — ✅ Bounced Above $3,500
   ETH outperformed BTC as tech sentiment pulsed — but still follows macro.

The Final Score

🔓 8 out of 10 setups confirmed short or long as we signaled.
⚠️ 2 remain in development — GBP/CHF and NZD/CAD need more conviction.
