Shutdown Nears End, CPI Ahead & Mental Game Matters

The week kicks off with cautious optimism as signs emerge that the U.S. government shutdown may soon end. But traders aren’t celebrating just yet — all eyes are on Thursday’s U.S. CPI and jobless claims, which could reshape Fed expectations heading into year-end.

UK GDP is also on deck, with growth expected to flatline. A stronger print could lift GBP, while a miss may stoke recession fears. Meanwhile, technical setups across EURUSD, GBPJPY, and gold suggest breakout potential — but only if key levels give way.

Beyond the charts, traders are sharpening their edge with simplicity and self-awareness. FTMO’s inside bar strategy offers a clean, rules-based approach for all markets, while Babypips reminds us why serious traders don’t compare themselves to others — because the only benchmark that matters is your own progress.

The theme? When the macro fog thickens, clarity comes from process and perspective.

⚡Trading Week Ahead: U.S. Shutdown Nears Possible End

  • Shutdown resolution looks likely, but not confirmed.

  • U.S. CPI, jobless claims, and UK GDP are key macro events.

  • EURUSD, GBPJPY, and gold at breakout zones.

🔥Inside Bar Strategy: Simple, Powerful, and Universal

  • Works across forex, indices, and commodities.

  • Focuses on breakout from narrow-range candles.

  • Ideal for trend continuation or reversal setups.

📊Why Serious Traders Don’t Compare

  • Comparing to others distorts focus and confidence.

  • Track your own metrics, not someone else’s highlight reel.

  • Progress is personal — and sustainable when self-driven.

This issue blends macro anticipation with tactical discipline. As shutdown talks evolve and CPI looms, the message is clear: simplify your strategy, trust your process, and trade your own game.

Happy Trading!
