We know that you are a great fan of this market. If you do not have to go to your office, do anything and can make money from your home, there is no reason you should not be a fan in Forex.

It is very easy to overtrade in Forex and many people lost their money. If you are thinking that you should not overtrade, there are risks that you are thinking to trade on weekends. Many people trade on weekends and it gives the interest to other traders to also trade in the weekends. You should know the right time for your trading and every time is not profitable for the traders.
Some of the long-term traders often carry their trade during the weekend since they know very well that they can secure a huge amount of profit. But this doesn’t mean that you will be placing trades just before the closing of the market. During the weekend lots of things might happen and you don’t want to spend extra money by giving the roll overcharge to the broker. As a currency trader, you will have to learn more about your open trades. The more you will learn about this market the better you will become at trading.

EURUSD: Trump has halted the dollar’s slide

On Thursday the 25th of January, trading on the euro closed down on a day of high volatility. Sharp price fluctuations were seen on the major currency pairs as a result of comments from Trump, Mnuchin, Draghi, and Jordan.

After hitting a new high in the European session, the euro entered a sideways trend leading up to Mario Draghi’s press conference. There wasn’t much of a reaction to the initial decision. The ECB meeting on monetary policy concluded with decisions to maintain the refinancing rate at 0.0% and the deposit rate at -0.4%.

The QE program is being maintained until September at a volume of 30bn EUR a month. This could be extended should the need arise. Interest rates are expected to remain at their current level for the long term. Should the economic conditions in the Eurozone get worse, the scale of the program could be increased.

Mario Draghi noted that the Eurozone’s economy is growing faster than expected. Volatility on the single currency is a current source of uncertainty and so stimulus programs need to be maintained in order to keep inflation up. Inflation over the next few months is set to remain around its current level.

The euro/dollar pair jumped on Draghi’s comments as the Eurozone’s economy grows along with the euro. Euro bulls received some additional support from Thomas Jordan, the chairman of the Swiss National Bank, after he told reporters that the SNB was ready to intervene in the Forex market if needed. This would be on the EURCHF pair to weaken the national currency.

Donald Trump halted the dollar’s slide during the US session. In an interview with CNBC, he said that traders had misinterpreted Steve Mnuchin and taken his comments about a weak dollar out of context. The euro then dropped by nearly 200 pips from 1.2537 to 1.2364 (-173 pips).

I have no desire to analyse markets when they react so strongly to verbal interventions because at times like these, the major players rely on crowd psychology to guide their trading. Also, we don’t know what other statements we could get from officials. It was enough just for Trump to say that Mnuchin’s comments were misinterpreted for the euro to slump by nearly 200 pips.

The price has returned from the zone between U3 and U4 to the LB balance line (sma 55). This marks a drop of 135 pips, and now the euro is trading at 1.2450. Given that the euro has dropped below 1.2389, there’s a chance of it correcting even lower on the daily pin bar with a long upper shadow. Moreover, the target of 1.2533 has been reached on the monthly timeframe.

My forecast has the euro recovering to 1.2475/80. If it stays with the trend, the price could rise as far as 1.2503, so don’t be in too much of a hurry to short the euro if that’s what you’re planning to do. Once a certain level is reached, you need to look at trader sentiment towards US bonds and euro crosses. See more in trading central signals review of Alpari.com

Weekly Trading Forecasts for Major Pairs (January 29 – February 2, 2018)

Here’s the market outlook for the week:

EURUSD
Dominant bias: Bullish
This week, EURUSD assumed one of its strongest movements in recent times. Since December 18, 2017, price has gained 800 pips. It gained almost 600 pips in January 2108, and over 300 pips last week, almost reaching the resistance line at 1.2550 (and pulling backwards). The market may go further upwards, reaching the resistance lines at 1.2550 and 1.3000, but it would eventually start coming down before the end of this week. The outlook on EUR pairs is bearish for this week.

USDCHF
Dominant bias: Bearish
Since November 2, 2017, this pair has lost more than 700 pips; whereas its most serious bearish movements within the past several months occurred in January 2018. Last week witnessed the strongest bearish movement, as price went south by 300 pips, testing the support level at 0.9300 and closing below the resistance level at 0.9350. Since the outlook on USD is bearish for this week and for February; and since the outlook on CHF is bright (bullish) for February, it is expected that USDCHF would remain under bearish pressures. Only a strong bearish movement on EURUSD can cause some rally on USDCHF, which may even be weaker than normal.

GBPUSD
Dominant bias: Bullish
Last week price went upwards by 480 pips before the bearish correction that is currently in place. The distribution territory at 1.4350 was almost reached, before price pulled backwards. A strong bullish pressure is needed before the distribution territory at 1.4350 can be tested again, and breached to the upside. Nevertheless the 170-pip pullback that took place on Thursday and Friday, may harbinger a protracted bearish movement, because the outlook on GBP pair is bearish for this week and for February. Strong movement would be witnessed again on GBP pairs.

USDJPY
Dominant bias: Bearish
The trend in the market is bearish – especially in January. Since the beginning of the year, price has come down by 420 pips, leading to a huge Bearish Confirmation Pattern in the market. Last week witnessed a movement of 240 pips, as price closed around the demand level at 108.50 on Monday. Further bearish movement may help price test the demand levels at 108.00 and 107.50. There could be instances of rally attempts this week, but they may be insignificant, owing to the weakness of USD.

EURJPY
Dominant bias: Neutral
It is a surprise that EURJPY cross only went sideways last week, while most majors trended significantly. This is a sideways (neutral) market, which oscillates between the supply zone at 136.50 and the demand zone at 135.00 (though the demand zone at 135.00 was breached on Friday). Further sideways movement is possible, but there will eventually be a breakout in the market, which would favor bulls.

GBPJPY
Dominant bias: Bullish
This is a volatile market. It has moved significantly upwards since January 11. However, there was a noteworthy pullback on January 25 and 26. Further pullback is possible, but may be contained at the demand zones of 153.00 and 152.00. Eventually, the recent bullish trend will continue because the outlook on certain JPY pairs is bullish for February, and GBPJPY is also included.

This forecast is concluded with the quote below:

“Trading requires an optimal mindset. When you are upset, tired, and emotionally distracted, you will have trouble following your trading plan. You must return to a calm, focused mindset, a mindset where you are attentive and alert, and can trade like a winner.” – Joe Ross

Tricks to winning the markets this year

“Trading is one of the oldest concepts on the planet and that’s an advantage to your new business. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. What you have to do now is create a written set of instructions to your brain. Instructions that will turn your concepts into cash. Think of your business plan as Cliff Notes on “How to make money by trading!” because that’s what it will be once it is completed. Since only the best traders have the discipline to make such a plan, you’ll have one of the “edges” you need to compete alongside the top market makers and traders.” – Dr. Van Tharp (Source: Vantharp.com)

Based on many years of trading and research in the markets, I’d like to share some tricks with you. I hope the tricks would help you become triumphant as a trader.

NEITHER A PERMABULL NOR A PERMABEAR BE
In Forex markets, it’s far better to be a trader rather than be an investor. It’s more preferable to make money when there is a strong uptrend or a strong downtrend. When an investor is experiencing drawdowns, a trader who’s good at timing entries would be raking in profits.

When a permabear is being pummeled in a market that suddenly becomes bullish, going protractedly northward, a trader that has a good system, who is good at timing entries would be raking in profits.

A trader goes long in a bull market and goes short in a bear market, truncating their negativity when caught in a wrong direction. On the other hand, an investor makes money only in a bull market.

In the modern markets, it makes more sense to be a trader, not a permabull nor a permabear.

Go short in bear markets and go long in a bull markets. Don’t buy and hold because a bear market can hold out longer than your portfolio may carry it. You can receive margin calls in the process. Strong pullbacks on Bitcoin is a good example.


FIND THE MARKET THAT’S MOST SUITABLE FOR YOUR STRATEGY
For example, a strategy that follows the trend would work well in a market that trends very well like, USDCNH, Bitcoin, Gold, Silver and other currencies that trend very well. It doesn’t mean that these trading instruments don’t experience consolidations, but it means they tend to trend more than other instruments like USDJPY and EURCHF. When you use a trend-following strategy on an instrument that tends to trend well, your results will improve.

There are also better results when a trend follower trades on an instrument which tends to move fast.

When you scalp, you would do well on trading instrument that moves slowly or tends to consolidate, just like EURCHF and EURGBP.

When you’re scalping in a highly trending market, your results can be worsened.

FIND THE RIGHT ENVIRONMENT FOR YOUR SYSTEMS
Locate the right environment for your trading system. Some trading systems perform well on Tuesdays to Thursdays only. Some perform well on Mondays and Fridays only. Some systems perform well from October to April only, while some systems perform well on May to September only. Some perform well during Asia sessions.

Please find the best months or weeks or days or times for your strategies. Find the best market conditions for your strategies and try to avoid periods and conditions that may not be favorable to you.

Conclusion:
Please don’t forget to use stops and risk very small per trade. Those who think they’re smart enough to avoid stop and low lot sizes, will eventually learn bitter lessons, no matter how good their strategies are.

I end this article with 3 quotes from great traders:

“Staying on the right side of the market is not always easy. But when it is, keep riding the easy move up while having a plan in place to protect your capital when the inevitable big pullback comes.” - D.R. Barton, Jr

“The markets don’t always cooperate with you. The winning trader is the person who questions a trading plan before executing it. He or she tries to anticipate what could go wrong, and thinks of ways to work around these potential setbacks. Being a healthy skeptic can be difficult at times, but the cautious optimist usually ends up making the most profits in the end.” – Joe Ross

“A losing trader can do little to transform himself into a winning trader. A losing trader is not going to want to transform himself. That’s the kind of thing winning traders do.” - Ed Seykota

EURUSD: euro bulls have recovered 85% of their losses

On Thursday the 18th of January, trading on the EURUSD pair closed up. The pair started rising during the Asian session and gathered pace during trading in Europe. This rise was initially interpreted by traders as correcting the drop from 1.2288 to 1.2165. After taking 1.2220 (45 degrees), growth on the pair sped up to reach 1.2265.

Traders sold off the dollar in anticipation of a potential government shutdown as well as due to the publication of mixed US data. Growth in the number of housing starts in the US slowed down in December, while the Philly Fed manufacturing index came out lower than expected.

It was later revealed that Republican lawmakers voted to extend government funding to the 16th of February, so fears of a government shutdown have been put to rest for the time being.

My expectations for Thursday of a rebound from the 45th and 67th degrees didn’t come to pass. The mixed US statistics as well as fears of a government shutdown helped buyers recover 85% of the drop from 1.2288 to 1.2165 if we include today’s Asian session. The fundamentals turned out stronger than the technicals.

Upon reaching 1.2265, the price technically rebounded from the DTR1 trend line, but met with some resistance during its decline at the LB balance line at 1.2220. Buyers successfully defended this level and today, in Asia, the euro has renewed yesterday’s high of 1.2270.

The euro appreciated on the back of a declining dollar, supported by the crosses. I’ve adjusted the DTR1 line a few times after some false breakouts, but now that it’s actually been broken through, I’m turning my attention towards DTR2.

I lost sight of the A-A channel yesterday. It’s formed from three values: L 1.2195, L 1.2165, and H 1.2323. We need this channel to help us see up to which level we could see quotes rise in the event of a breakout of the DTR1 line. On the current bar, it runs through 1.2275.

The prospect of a US government shutdown has been sidelined for the time being. US 10Y bond yields are rising every day. Considering that I have two open short positions on the euro from the 45th and 67th degrees, I’m going to keep waiting for the pair to break down the lower boundary of the B-B channel. I may be wrong, but my pricing model on the hourly chart doesn’t look promising for the euro’s growth prospects. The euro is being propped up by the crosses, which is why we haven’t seen a decline on our main pair.

Is it a good idea to invest in binary options?

Within these, in recent years new products and mechanisms have emerged with which to operate and make money quickly, always resulting in high volatility then the question is how to make money with binary trade?

The binary options are an investment system in which you bet on the rise or fall in the price of underlying assets that are quoted in a stock market for a certain time. There are two types of system, cash or nothing, in which you earn an amount if the option expires when the option is quoted above the paid (in-the-money) or nothing in the opposite case (out-the-money) . The other system is active or nothing, in which the value of the price of the underlying asset can be gained.

The main characteristic of these products, is that it is about predicting if the price of a good will go up or down during a specific period and there are only two options, win or lose everything, hence the name of binary, and where Returns can reach 50%, 70% and 80%.

Naturally, it is a high risk mechanism due to its volatility and the amounts involved and where the operations last a very short time, sometimes up to a couple of minutes. Emulating a bidding system, and where speed in management plays a fundamental role with respect to other agents.

In the same way, it is also important to choose a good trading and operations platform that has the quality and legality necessary to carry out operations properly:

- Whether or not it is outside the law. In all countries (Spain too) there are official regulators that accept and approve the operators. It is a matter of vital importance.

Weekly Trading Forecasts for Major Pairs (January 22 - 26, 2018)

Here’s the market outlook for the week:

EURUSD
Dominant bias: Bullish
This pair consolidated throughout last week, moving between the resistance line at 1.2300 and the support line at 1.2150. The resistance line at 1.2300 was tested unsuccessfully, and it is unlikely that price would stay above it, even if it tested again. There is going to be a directional movement this week, which would most probably favor bears, for the outlook on EUR pairs is bearish for the week.

USDCHF
Dominant bias: Bearish
USDCHF went further southwards last week, testing the demand level at 0.9550, prior to the upwards bounce that occurred on Friday. Because of the expected weakness in EURUSD, it is unlikely that price would be able to go below the support level at 0.9550. Rather, price could continue going upwards, reaching the resistance levels at 0.9650, 0.9700 and 0.9750 within the next several trading days.

GBPUSD
Dominant bias: Bullish
GBPUSD went upwards last week, having gained roughly 400 pips since January 11. The market moved above the distribution territory at 1.3900 and later closed below it on Friday. There is currently a bullish bias on the market, which would be overturned once price goes below the accumulation territories at 1.3500 and 1.3450 (which would require a very strong selling pressure). The outlook on GBP pairs is bearish for this week.

USDJPY
Dominant bias: Bearish
This trading instrument is in a bearish mode. The shallow rally that was in the middle of last week, turned out to be a nice opportunity to go short. It is much more likely that price would continue going southwards this week, because there could be some weakness in USD. The demand levels at 110.50, 110.00 and 109.50 could be reached. On the other hand, a rally can meet some adamant impediment around the supply levels at 111.50 and 112.00.

EURJPY
Dominant bias: Bullish
The cross is bullish but it is quite choppy in the short-term. Should the demand zone at 134.00 get breached to the downside, the bias would turn bearish. In case price is able to go above the supply zone at 136.50, the next target would be another supply zone at 137.00 (and the recent bullish bias would become stronger). A movement to the upside is more likely, owing to a bullish outlook on some JPY pairs.

GBPJPY
Dominant bias: Bullish
Despite the bearish movement that happened between January 8 and 11, this cross has been able to go upwards in a noteworthy manner last week. Between Monday and Thursday, price moved upwards by 250 pips, and then got corrected on Friday. This week, further bullish movement may enable price to reach the supply zones at 154.00, 154.50 and 155.00. There could be additional bearish corrections along the way; but they should be temporary, posing no significant threat to the bullishness in the market.

This forecast is concluded with the quote below:

UK Inflation Rate Fell to 3% in December

The inflation rate of Britain edged lower for the first time in six months in December, which was driven by the price of airfares and games and toys. The rate went down to 3 percent versus 3.1 percent in November, this is the fastest decline over five years. While the core measure of consumer price growth also decreased to 2.5 percent five-month low.

The British pound lost its strength on the back of the data publication and currently trades at $1.3772 as of 10:37, lower by 0.2 percent on the day. The numbers can be regarded to be the inflection point for the inflation due to impact from Sterling depreciation after the dwindling of 2016 Brexit referendum. The Bank of England along with the economists showed some projections for the possible downturn in 2018 and others predicted that the economy will be at the 2.4 percent level at the end of this year.

The drop recorded in December was mainly influenced by the technical adjustments of airfares within the inflation basket. However, the Office for National Statistics remains uncertain whether this move signaled for the beginning of a longer-term reduction in the rate. On the same month, services inflation plunged to 2.5 percent, which is the lowest in nine months.

The slackening inflation had a positive effect on households, especially those with low incomes as prices continued to rise. Economists polled by Bloomberg foresee some growth improvement in the currently weak household consumption by 2019. But, it will continue to sit below its recent average in both years. While predictions for headline inflations seems cool, but the Bank of England policymakers focused more on the changes in domestic price pressures caused by low unemployment and contraction of supplies. In November 2017, the BoE approved for an interest rate hike for the first time after 10 years and spoken about the further rate hike in the subsequent years.

According to experts, the upward pressure on inflation partially comes from the sluggish productivity growth which hit the British economy since the Great Recession. On the other hand, policymaker Silvana Tenreyro had a positive outlook during her speech on Monday. Tenreyro stated that the economy will grow in the medium term which could reverse the forecast for interest rates.

EUR/JPY: the pair had recovered to 135.39

This growth prompted rumours that the Bank of Japan had reduced its purchases of Japanese 10-to-25-year government bond and 25-to-40-year bonds each by 10bn JPY (88.39m USD) this are factors affecting currency rates. Traders interpreted this as a slight tightening of monetary policy. These rumours were later quashed.

By the end of the week, the pair had recovered to 135.39. Other factors strengthening the euro include the recently published minutes of the ECB’s latest meeting on monetary policy as well as the breakthrough in coalition talks in Germany. This news pushed German bond yields up, bringing the euro along with them. The minutes revealed that the ECB may start curtailing is QE program sooner than planned.

After buyers broke through the 134.50 resistance and reached their intermediate target of 136.00, the road towards 139 opened up (162% of the 114.85 – 124.08 range). We could see a pullback before the rally recommences. If the price exits the 1-1 channel, the rally will not resume.

XAU/BTC - Gold Correlation?

Traditional Markets

Wall Street did indeed come back from its long weekend in a good mood but things quickly turned sour when investors realized that the US government may just be headed for a good old fashioned shut down by the end of the week.

Here we can see the opening bell for the Dow Jones with a nice gap above 26,000 points, a milestone for this index about difference between balance and equity. The gap was quickly covered on the downside, followed by a ramp up to a new all time high of 26,085 before seeing the worst sell-off so far this year.
Whenever there is a strong movement across different assets, it's a great opportunity to compare and contrast. Though I believe that the micro movements in digital currencies are not yet as correlated as stocks, bonds, commodities, and currencies this chart shows a stringing connection.

Here we can see Bitcoin in white, Gold in yellow, and the S&P 500 in blue. Just take a look at the middle of the chart and we can see that indeed Gold and Bitcoin both fell sharply at the beginning of the European session, just before the Asian investors went to bed and way before New Yorkers opened their eyes.

Of course, looking at this timeframe is sort of like looking through a straw. You don't really get the big picture. The same chart over the last 3 years shows all three assets rising fairly steadily, which is most likely explained by the copious amounts of money that's been created by central banks over the last decade.

EURUSD: growth to 1.2240

In the European session, the euro dropped after reports from Germany, where the Social Democrats are split on whether or not to join in a coalition government with Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrats. Later, a Reuters report intensified the downwards pressure on the pair. The agency reported that the ECB is unlikely to taper its bond purchasing program at their meeting next week in forex market analysis.

During trading in the US, the euro bulls completely recovered their losses. Buyers gradually pushed the price back up to the 1.2240 resistance over the course of 4 hours. As soon as this barrier was overcome, the pair’s growth gathered pace. Traders are once again losing interest in the US dollar.

In Asia, the euro has risen by 56 pips to reach 1.2323 in the space of 2 hours. I couldn’t find a reason for shorting the dollar so I’ve laid out 2 possible scenarios on today’s chart.

Due to the 85-pip drop on the euro to 1.2238, we have a contradictory situation. Now I’ll explain why.

First of all, the situation in Germany with regards to forming a coalition government has yet to be resolved. Secondly, the euro’s rise is being hindered by the upcoming ECB meeting. Thirdly, a pin bar model is forming on the daily timeframe. If the day closes at 1.2245 or lower, this will create a sell signal.

On the other hand, the trend is bullish. As we can see, despite all the negative news surrounding the euro, a lot of long positions were opened on it as it dropped to the LB balance line, leaving a long shadow on the candlestick behind them. The pin bar isn’t fully formed yet, so this could all go out the window by the end of the day.

So, what’s going to happen?

Scenario 1: continued decline on the euro to the lower boundary of the channel (at 1.2212), strengthening the bearish daily candlestick. If we see drop below 1.2195 on the hourly timeframe, there’s a possibility of a double top forming. The double bearish divergence between the price and the AO indicator works in favour of this scenario.

Scenario 2: price rebound from the 67th degree with subsequent growth to 1.2240.

The European calendar is virtually empty today. The only important report to come out is Eurozone CPI data. Today’s main event is the Bank of Canada’s meeting followed by a press conference with Governor Steven Poloz. Markets are expecting a 25-base-point hike to interest rates. It’s still unclear how markets will react to this.

Weekly Trading Forecasts for Major Pairs (January 15 - 19, 2018)

Here’s the market outlook for the week:

EURUSD
Dominant bias: Bullish
The market was bearish from Monday to Wednesday, and then began to make some bullish effort, which eventually paid for. From the middle of last week, price rose by 270 pips, to test the resistance line at 1.2200. That resistance line remains under siege, for it would easily be breached to the upside this week, as price gain at least, another 150 pips. The outlook on EUR pairs remains bullish.

USDCHF
Dominant bias: Bearish
This pair made some weak bullish effort from January 8 to 10, almost reaching the resistance level at 0.9850. However, further bullish attempt was rejected as a bearish movement was assumed, which ended up generating a bearish signal in the market. From the high of last week, price dropped by 170 pips, closing below the resistance level at 0.9700 on Friday. The outlook on USDCHF is bearish for this week, for the market would face attacks from two fronts: CHF would gain some stamina, and a strong EURUSD would help ensure continuous bearish pressure on USDCHF.

GBPUSD
Dominant bias: Bullish
The bullish breakout that was witnessed in this market has ended the protracted consolidation in the market, which had held out for several weeks (save the bullish attempt that occurred in the last week of December 2017). GBPUSD moved upwards by 200 pips on Friday alone, and since GBP pairs would be somewhat bullish this week, it is logical to expect the bullish movement to continue, reaching the distribution territory at 1.3750 and 1.3800.

USDJPY
Dominant bias: Bearish
USDJPY went south by 214 last week, making several unsuccessful attempts to break the demand level at 111.00 to the downside. There is a Bearish Confirmation Pattern in the chart, which supports a bearish outlook on the market. That means the demand level at 111.00 would be breached to the downside, as price journeys further southwards to towards the demand levels at 110.50, 110.00, and 109.50.

EURJPY
Dominant bias: Neutral
Although the market was mostly bullish within the last 4 weeks, the bullishness was challenged last week as price dropped 320 pips from Monday to Wednesday. Nonetheless, the upwards bounce that was seen in the market on Thursday and Friday was strong enough to challenge its short-term bearishness. Only a movement of 100 pips to the upside would result in a strong “buy” signal; whereas a movement to the south, even by 150 pips, would help put more emphasis on the recent bearishness in the market. Until one of these directional movement happens, the bias on the market would remain somehow neutral.

GBPJPY
Dominant bias: Bullish
This cross dropped 310 pips from Monday to Wednesday, consolidated on Thursday, and bounced upwards on Friday. Generally, the bias on the market is bullish: The pullback that happened in the first few days of last week appears to be offering an opportunity to buy long at better prices. Thus, the supply zones at 152.50, 153,00 and 153.50 would be targeted this week.

This forecast is concluded with the quote below:


“Trading is a simple profession since it can be summed up in three ideas. If it is trending up over the time frame you are trading you buy it. If it trending down over the time frame you are trading you sell it. Don’t bet the farm. It is hardly rocket science yet despite this our very nature more often than not defeats us despite the evidence that it shouldn’t.” – Chris Tate

Weekly Trading Forecasts for Major Pairs (January 8 - 12, 2018)

Here’s the market outlook for the week:

EURUSD
Dominant bias: Bullish
The market essentially consolidated throughout last week – in the context of an uptrend. Although price did not go seriously upwards or downwards last week, that stance is going to change this week (for price would assume a directional movement). It is much more likely that price would continue going upwards, owing to bullish expectations on EUR pairs. So at least 150 pips may be gained this week.

USDCHF
Dominant bias: Bearish
This pair was caught in an equilibrium movement last week (although the overall bias on the market is bearish). Unlike the equilibrium phase of last week, there is going to be a strong breakout this week, which would, nonetheless, respect the ongoing bearish bias. This is because there would be selling pressures on USDCHF, except EURUSD drops sharply. At least, a southwards movement of 100 pips is expected from here, reaching the support levels at 0.9700 and 0.9650.

GBPUSD
Dominant bias: Bullish
This trading instrument went upwards last week, to test the distribution territory at 1.3600, before dropping lower. So far, the drop has been shallow and that has not overridden the bullish bias on the market, unless the accumulation territory at 1.3400 is breached to the downside, which would require a heavy selling pressure. The distribution territory at 1.3600 could be tested again. It could even be breached to the upside.

USDJPY
Dominant bias: Bullish
Last week, USDJPY rejected further bearish effort as it went upwards by 110 pips, thereby generating a short-term “buy” signal. Price managed to close above the demand level at 113.00 on Friday, thus making further northwards movement a possibility. This means the supply levels at 113.50 and 114.00 could be reached this week. Nevertheless, there is a present risk of a large pullback on JPY pairs.

EURJPY
Dominant bias: Bullish
This cross went upwards last week, reached the supply zone at 136.50 and ended the week in a bearish correction. Since December 15, 2017, price has gained over 400 pips; plus it would be somewhat difficult for a lasting bearish movement to occur in the market, as long EUR is strong. The targets for this week are located at the supply zones of 136.50, 137.00 and 137.50. There are demand zones at 135.00 and 134.50.

GBPJPY
Dominant bias: Bullish
GBPJPY experienced a strong bullish movement last week, moving from the demand zone at 152.00, to reach the supply zone at 153.50. It is possible that price would gain another 200 pips this week, as price goes further northwards. However, the more the market goes upwards, the more the chances of a bearish correction, which may be significant enough to challenge the ongoing bullish outlook. That is expected to happen anytime this month.

This forecast is concluded with the quote below:
