FXIFY Trade of the Month: July Recap
July at FXIFY: tech rallies, gold ranges, dollar rebounds. Top traders banked big — see Juan’s $43K S&P short in 66 seconds.
July kept traders honest. Tech ripped, gold cooled into a range, and the dollar staged a late-month comeback that forced FX desks to adapt on the fly. Ready to parse what mattered and where the edge was?
Welcome back to the FXIFY™ Monthly Recap — July kept the momentum alive. Tech-led risk appetite put U.S. indices in play and rewarded clean breakout tactics, while our desk leaned into high-quality continuation setups on the majors.
By month-end, the dollar firmed, turning EUR and GBP two-way and reminding traders to bank on strength rather than overstay breakouts. It wasn’t a runaway trend, but the tone shift mattered for timing and risk.
Meanwhile, XAUUSD spent most of the month rotating in a tight pocket — prime territory for disciplined range work. That tracks with our trading data too: gold topped community volumes, with EURUSD and NAS100 close behind.

Trade of the Month: Juan’s $43,400 Short on S&P 500
Fast, clean, and clinical — Juan V. captured $43,400 in 66 seconds shorting US500 (CFD ticker for S&P 500) on July 23, 2025!
This trade occurred on a day when U.S. indices were pressing record highs on trade-deal optimism, but instead of following the herd, Juan observed the price action on the 1-minute timeframe and spotted a reversal opportunity.
Juan entered a short at $6,331.12 and exited at $6,326.78. This was an elite counter-momentum play: spot the exhaustion, bank the pullback (quickly), and step aside.

The Setup: Acceptance Below VWAP + Base Breakdown
Price built a short M1 support shelf near $6,331 while VWAP trended above and below. The 16:45 candle broke and closed below the shelf, staying below the VWAP, and opened a room toward $6,326–$6,327, which aligned with the first lower Bollinger Band tag.
The Entry: Confirmation, Not Prediction
Short on the decisive break of $6,331 (or a quick retest-and-fail of that level underneath VWAP). That’s a rules-based scalp: trade acceptance below VWAP, don’t guess the high.
The Exit: Pay the First Impulse
Cover into the $6,326–$6,327 pocket at $6,326.78, about 66 seconds later on the first pause/lower-band touch. Bank the impulse; don’t overstay while the higher-timeframe trend is up.

🥇 XAUUSD (Gold)
Gold popped to five-week highs around Jul 21–22 as the dollar and Treasury yields eased. It then slipped into month-end on trade-deal progress and a steady-rates Fed.
💶 EURUSD
The dollar logged its first monthly gain of 2025 in July, pressuring EUR/USD late in the month. The euro fell sharply around Jul 28–29 as optimism over a U.S.–EU trade pact boosted the greenback.

Tech leadership held: the Nasdaq posted multiple record closes in mid-July and finished the month up ~2.37%. Momentum breakouts stayed plentiful through the second half.
