Updated

Despite negative GDP data last week (negative variance of 1.71), the dollar closed its fourth consecutive week in positive territory, trading 1.80% higher to culminate at the 136.500 zone. The economic data released so far this year has painted a stronger picture of the U.S. economy. It is also worth noting that the incoming BoJ governor Kazuo Ueda indicated that the central bank will largely maintain its ultra-accommodative policy in the near term hereby indicating a weak economy and considering the significant breakout of the 135.000 zone (the first time this year); the Greenback may continue to remain in demand. This video illustrates a detailed technical perspective of what to look for in the coming week as trading opportunities is strongly leaning towards bullish expectation from a long-term perspective.
