- Today at 12:41:00 PMInside Bar Pattern: Basics and Strategies
Candlestick patterns are an important part of a comprehensive trading strategy. However, it may be difficult to choose the pattern you can rely on. In this case, traders focus on the most popular setups that have proven to work across various markets and timeframes. One of such patterns is the inside bar pattern.
In price action trading, the inside bar is often analysed as a pause in market structure, reflecting short-term volatility compression that may lead to either trend continuation or trend reversal.
In this article, we will break down the basics of the inside bar pattern, examine examples of this formation on real-market price charts, and discuss how to interpret its signals for trading purposes.

- Today at 12:29:33 PMGBP/JPY Falls to a Year-to-Date Low
As the GBP/JPY chart shows, the pound has dropped below the 12 February low against the Japanese yen, marking its weakest level since the beginning of 2026. The pair last traded beneath the 207.500 mark in mid-December 2025.
→ The yen's strength is supported by expectations that economic stimulus measures introduced by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, in coordination with the Bank of Japan, will underpin the national currency. Barclays forecasts further appreciation of the yen.
→ Sterling weakened today following reports that UK unemployment reached a five-year high in December, while wage growth slowed. This may reinforce arguments in favour of additional interest rate cuts by the Bank of England.

- Today at 12:21:39 PMGold Price Falls to a 10-Day Low
As today's XAU/USD chart shows, the price of gold has dropped below the lows of 12 February, marking its weakest level in ten days. According to media reports, several factors are weighing on bullion:
→ Easing geopolitical tensions. Safe-haven demand has diminished amid US–Iran and Russia–Ukraine negotiations.
→ Slowing US inflation. This may be prompting traders to reassess expectations for Federal Reserve policy in 2026.
→ The holiday effect. With Presidents' Day in the US and Lunar New Year celebrations in Asia, trading volumes have declined. In such thin market conditions, prices can become more vulnerable to speculation and abrupt moves.

- February 16, 2026, 12:53:18 PMApple (AAPL) Shares Fall 7% In Two Days
As the chart indicates, AAPL shares declined from roughly $275 to $256 over Thursday and Friday — a drop of about 7%. This move has effectively erased the gains that followed the strong earnings report released on 29 January.
Why Is AAPL Falling?
According to media reports, negative sentiment has been driven by:
→ Data pointing to rising memory chip costs, which could weigh on profit margins.
→ Reports that the long-anticipated Siri upgrade featuring advanced AI capabilities has been delayed again.
→ Increased scrutiny of the company's operations by the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

- February 16, 2026, 10:41:17 AMDollar Index (DXY) Stabilises After CPI Release
Late January proved exceptionally volatile in the currency markets, as reflected by the ATR indicator. However, following the rebound from the four-year low (B), price swings on the DXY chart have narrowed, suggesting a degree of market stabilisation.
Friday's CPI release had the potential to trigger sharp moves in the US dollar index, yet no major surprises emerged. According to Forex Factory data, the actual figures were broadly in line with analysts' forecasts (inflation eased slightly as expected), and market participants headed into the long weekend, with US financial markets closed on Monday for Presidents' Day.

- February 13, 2026, 12:18:41 PMNasdaq 100 May Retest This Year's Low
As the chart of the Nasdaq 100 index (US Tech 100 mini on FXOpen) shows, bearish sentiment currently dominates the equity market. Yesterday, the technology index fell by around 2%.
Why Is the Nasdaq 100 Declining?
According to media reports, developments linked to the expansion of AI are weighing on the market:
→ Major technology firms are sharply increasing capital expenditure on infrastructure, yet there is little clarity on when these investments will begin to generate returns. For instance, Google issued bonds this week, including 100-year debt.
→ The impact of AI on traditional business models, particularly companies operating in the software sector.

- February 12, 2026, 12:22:18 PMEuro And Sterling Rally Slows After Strong US Data
At the start of the week, the euro and sterling posted solid gains amid dollar weakness and expectations of a more accommodative Federal Reserve policy path, testing local highs. However, the release of the January US employment report shifted market sentiment.
Non-farm payrolls rose by 130K versus a forecast of 66K, the unemployment rate unexpectedly fell to 4.3% (forecast: 4.4%), and average hourly earnings increased by 0.4%, exceeding previous readings. The data confirmed the resilience of the US labour market and supported the dollar, prompting a pullback in EUR/USD and GBP/USD from their recent peaks.

- February 12, 2026, 12:19:37 PMNikkei 225 Retreats From Record High
As the chart shows, the Nikkei 225 index (Japan 225 on FXOpen) reached a historic high near 58,500 points on Monday. Bullish sentiment was driven primarily by political developments.
According to media reports, the rally followed the decisive victory of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) under Sanae Takaichi, who has signalled aggressive fiscal stimulus measures (a package exceeding $135 bn), food tax cuts, and the continuation of an accommodative monetary policy stance.
However, today the Nikkei 225 is showing signs of a pullback. It is possible that major market participants have begun taking profits amid the wave of optimism, as Takaichi's victory had already been largely priced in, and official confirmation of a parliamentary supermajority may have acted as a trigger to close long positions.
From a technical perspective, a retracement also appears justified.

- February 12, 2026, 12:12:43 PMWTI Oil Price Climbs to a Monthly High
As the XTI/USD chart shows, the price per barrel moved above the 4 February peak yesterday, marking its highest level since the start of the month. The bullish sentiment has been driven by geopolitical uncertainty. According to media reports:
→ The Trump–Netanyahu meeting in Washington on 10–11 February failed to ease tensions. Despite Omani mediation and statements suggesting a "near compromise", no formal agreement has yet been reached.
→ Reports of a possible deployment of additional US carrier strike groups to the Middle East have added to market nerves. Any escalation could threaten supplies through the Strait of Hormuz, which accounts for around 20% of global oil consumption.
While the fundamental backdrop remains tense and continues to support higher oil prices, the chart simultaneously points to vulnerability to a pullback.

- February 11, 2026, 11:21:42 AMAmazon (AMZN) Shares Struggle to Find Support After Weak Report
As the chart shows, Amazon (AMZN) shares have displayed pronounced bearish momentum following the release of a weak earnings report on 5 February:
→ Revenue: $213.4 bn (forecast: $211.4 bn)
→ Earnings per share (EPS): actual $1.95, forecast $1.97
According to media reports, particular concern arose after Amazon announced plans to spend $200 bn on capital expenditure in 2026, mainly on AI, data centres, and chips. This represents an increase of roughly 60% from last year and significantly exceeds analysts' expectations of around $146 bn.
Market participants may fear that the AI arms race (against Microsoft and Google) will be extremely costly, monetisation of these technologies could take years, and success is not guaranteed. As a result, we see two wide bearish gaps under the $232 and $220 levels, formed after the earnings release.

- February 11, 2026, 11:18:21 AMSilver Price Stabilises
As indicated by today's ATR reading on the XAG/USD chart, trading activity has returned to the more normal levels seen prior to the third week of January, when:
→ silver entered a phase of exuberant growth towards its record high around the $120 mark;
→ this was followed by a dramatic collapse towards the $75 area.
The volatility indicator has now fallen back to customary levels, suggesting that supply and demand are gradually moving into balance.
Yesterday's release of weaker US retail sales data could have served as a bullish catalyst for gold and silver, as signs of slowing economic activity ahead of key employment figures tend to increase demand for safe-haven assets. However, this did not occur, reinforcing the view that the market is stabilising.

- February 11, 2026, 11:13:40 AMUSD Under Pressure Ahead of NFP: Yen and Loonie in Focus
The dollar continues to decline ahead of the US January labour market report and has yet to show signs of firm stabilisation. Pressure on the US currency persists, although it is possible that following the release of the employment data the dollar may attempt to steady and find short-term support.
Investors are still trimming dollar positions in advance of the Non-Farm Payrolls report, as well as the unemployment rate and wage growth figures, which are viewed as key indicators for assessing the Federal Reserve's next steps. After a spike in volatility at the start of the week, trading activity has eased and the market has shifted into wait-and-see mode, watching whether the data will confirm a gradual easing scenario or instead provide grounds for dollar stabilisation and a corrective rebound.
