Eurusd ; more downside squeeze? 💀The Monthly candle has been pulling back from monthly resistance at 1.10255 since intitially tapping into it last Thursday. The Weekly candle is bearish and is rejecting weekly resistance zone 1.094. The Daily timeframe has confirmed a bearish breakout to the downside since it recently closed below Daily support level 1.0891. This Daily support level has now tunred into a Daily S/R Zone and may act as a resistance area for more downside potential. As stated on Tuesday's publishing " Momentum from Last week , Eurusd whats cooking? " I mentioned this statement --> "Downside target for week is 1.081 4Hr Support zone" . This would be 51 pip drop from the current daily candle and similar to the 49 pips drop that we saw today with GDP and unemployment claims data. Tomorrow we have Core PCE data. Now A few things could happen. 1) We move up prior to news then drop with news 2) We move down to our weekly target 1.081 before news and then shoot up with news 3) We consolidate, then increase back into the Daily range between 1.0891 Support and 1.096 Resistance with bad USD PCE data tomorrow.
** Also we must be aware that the monhtly candle is coming to a close. This could cause some very irrational volatility. It's the end of the week as well. It could be a freaky friday. I'm lowering size and wider SL. I may not even trade we'll see.
Momentum from last week ↘️ // Eurusd what's cooking? 👨🍳We have a fair share of news events this week to shake things up. These news events will be a catlayst for a coniuation of momentum or the cause for a reversal in the short term here. Now the Monthly candle is closing at the end of this week and we must keep in mind that it is closing bullish. I don't anticipate this weekly candle to drop 222 pips but it's not impossible. The Weekly candle from last week closed bearish rejecting Daily Resistance Zone 1.098 and Weekly resistance zone 1.1024. The top wick rejection was larger than the body of the candle denoting a good amount of sell pressure on Eurusd. The Friday daily candle closed bearish taking out all the lows from earlier in the week. Ideally for this week we would like to see the previous weekly candle's bottom wick (Approximately 48 pips ) be filled with momentum carried over from the prior week. 1.09160 is a Daily and 4hr S/R Level and may act as an area for price to distribute and take us to lower prices. If price gets a close above there we have clean traffic back up to 1.09564 4hr resistance zone. Otherwise if price can get a solid candle close below 1.08845 4hr Support zone then we have a nice 30 pip clean traffic range to decrease back to the low of last week at 1.0848 4hr Zone.
Downside target for week is 1.081 4Hr Support zone
If wrong, then expecting a range and possible eventual increase back to highs at 1.09875 Daily Resistance Zone.
Momentum Points South 🐻 We can observe the 4hr candle jsut closed below 1.0882 4Hr support Zone. Price also doesn't seem to care too much about our Daily support level 1.08915. Price retraced during London Session and gathered some liquidity while touching into weekly level 1.094 before coinciding with a drop with better than expected USD news. Also upon the 4hr candle close, it printed an engulfing candle and a siginficant top wick. All signs are screaming more downside to come. It may be after a deeper retrace to around 1.0882 and 1.08915 area but probabilities suggest lower prices to 1.0847 4hr support zone. This zone also happens to be the previous weekly candle bottom wick that we are now going to fill with momentum leftover from last week? we'll see if we get the push and fill the 33 pip range with clean traffic to the left down to 1.0847.
Analysis: DXY, gold, Treasury yieldsThe dollar index's quarterly chart is the most important as we heading into the second half of 2022.
Contrary to the popular belief, the quarterly chart suggests the DXY may bounce strongly in the coming six months, putting downward pressure on zero-yielding assets like gold.
Also watch out for a potential breakout in the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield and the bullish development in the US-German bond yield spread.
💭 Daily Tf Key Level plays Important Role ( 1.0918 )This week 1.0918 Daily Support/Resistance Zone will likely play an important role in the direction of this week's price behavior. This was a Major Support during last week's price action may very well act as a resistance level for the new week's price action. The new weekly candle gapped up but at the end of New York trading we can observe a hold of 1.0918 Daily S/R Zone. We are currently in a tight range to begin the week between this mentioned level and the 4hr support zone 1.0886. If Sellers fail to hold below 1.09180 then entry upon break and retest above it with targets at 1.0958 4hr Zone and the previous week's high at daily resistance zone 1.0986. Otherwise with Sells here we may continue to anticpate momentum to return to the downside. Our weekly target for sells remains at 1.081.
More Analysis : Started off the week taking Sells from our Daily S/R Zone 1.0918 . Earned +.5% on the account about after commissions. It turned out to be the high of the day.

DOLLAR INDEX - FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSISNo reason to fight dollar strength this week - ING
Central bank communication at this week's Sintra conference in Portugal has stayed pretty hawkish. The core message seems to be that low unemployment rates have allowed economies to withstand large tightening cycles reasonably well, meaning that inflation has not fallen as much as expected. Expectations for the duration and terminal rates for tightening cycles are being revised higher. This is most credibly being done in the US, where the economy appears to be outperforming.
This is allowing the dollar to stay quite bid - especially against those currencies without much/any interest rate difference such as the Japanese yen and the Chinese renminbi. On the latter, policymakers are gently trying to fight the steady move higher in USD/CNY by setting lower fixings. However, they may be forced to cut the required reserve on FX deposits as they did last September if they want to send a stronger message of displeasure over renminbi depreciation. And as we have seen over the years, a steady uptrend in USD/CNY is not conducive to an overall bear trend in the dollar.
Back to the Fed. If central banks are increasingly data-dependent, what's next in store for the Fed? The most important data point of the week will be tomorrow's release of the core PCE deflator for May expected at 0.3/0.4% month-on-month. Presumably, investors will be a little long dollars going into that release. Before that, however, we today see the weekly initial jobless claims figures. These have recently settled at higher levels. Any big upside surprise here could knock the dollar intra-day on the view that tighter policy is finally easing up labour supply - a key shoe to drop in the fight against inflation.
DXY looks biased to 103.30/35 and possibly 103.65 - as long as initial claims do not spike higher today.
Arguments of a week's size. Hi!
We have some important signs for the dollar index that don't bode well for the crypto market!
This is the 1 WEEK CHART.
This is a high degree of reliability.
In fact, what we saw on last week's hourly chart has already developed into a persistent reversal.
1: Ishimoku. The green Kumo cloud has halted Bitcoin's fall. In fact its lower boundary Senkou B has not been tested. Kijun-sen also does not show resistance to the candlestick, and usually turns out to be the next support later...
2. EMA100 area is a support in the weekly chart. This is a very good signal for the continuation of USD strengthening trend!
3. The volatility has stopped falling and the first red shortening bar appeared. I'm sure in a few weeks there will also be the first black cross signifying a squeeze before an upside shot.
4. Stochastic has reversed and is flying up.
5. This is a Heikin Ashi chart and it is more sensitive to a trend reversal than normal Japanese candlesticks. You can see how we started this week.
Conclusion.
Remember, Bitcoin is still private money (even if influential funds buy it for investment purposes). Bitcoin has no monetary authority, it plays on the open market against fiat currencies (primarily the dollar), which are managed by powerful financial institutions.
This new weekly green candle is the result of a +0.25% increase in the Fed's key rate. Dollar borrowing has become expensive. Why should there be free liquidity available in the market to inject into high risk assets? Or do you believe that private hands around the world will outbid the Fed?
No, I do not believe that this weak sideways move of Bitcoin in November-December was a consolidation.
Now the curses will come )))
P.S. If I'm wrong, that's my problem.
You can watch this chart and decide your’s opinion.
I don't want to change your mind at all.
I am only pointing out my thoughts.
But I would like people to think better.
GOLD - FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSISGold Price Forecasts Revised Lower For Year-End 2023 And 2024 At ABN AMRO
In her extensive XAU strategic note to clients, Georgette Boele, Senior Economist at ABN AMRO warns of a downgrade to the bank's 2023 and 2024 gold price forecasts.
The analyst cites the gold price being close to all-time highs, a level that should it fall, might not be seen for another five years. With FED monetary policy easing being prices-in, the upside is likely to be limited from here.
Gold prices so far have been erratic in 2023. The price of gold started the year on a bullish note, recording a 13% surge in prices by May 4.
According to the analyst, however, momentum has since flagged, and the precious metal now seems to be in a phase of consolidation.
This change in trend aligns with Boele's observation that investors may be hesitant to buy at current levels, especially with the specter of a significant drop looming over the market; hinting at the risk-averse nature of gold investors, who tend to prioritise long-term stability over short-term gains.
Boele's shift in her Federal Reserve outlook significantly informs her predictions.
Originally, she did not expect an aggressive rate-cutting spree in the short term but believed that the easing cycle would commence towards the end of 2023. However, recent developments have led her to revise these expectations.
"Last week, we changed our Fed view and also our US dollar view" says Boele.
"We now expect a recession to start in Q4 and rate cuts to come in Q1 2024. We expect the last rate hike of 25bp at the Fed’s July meeting and no rate cuts this year. We still forecast aggressive rate cuts in 2024. We now have a total of 175 basis point of rate cuts in 2024," she adds.
This forecast indicates her belief that the Federal Reserve will take assertive measures to stimulate the economy and combat the recessionary pressures she expects to emerge.
In line with her altered expectations for the Federal Reserve, Boele's perspective on the US dollar has also evolved.
With fewer rate cuts expected for the remainder of 2023 and into 2024, she has upgraded her view on the US dollar, seeing this as a positive turn.
This shift indicates her belief in the resilience of the US Dollar and its likely performance in the face of adverse economic conditions.
"As a result of the change in our Fed view we have upgraded our view on the US dollar," says the analyst.
"We no longer have a rate cut for the Fed this year and fewer total rate cuts in 2023-2024. This is a positive for the US dollar. Our view is roughly in line with the market."
Boele's points out that rate expectations, both real and nominal, alongside the outlook for the US dollar, are crucial drivers for gold prices.
Consequently, her adjusted outlook for the Federal Reserve and the US dollar has led her to downgrade her gold price forecast for 2024.
"So we have also downgraded our gold price forecast for 2024 to 2,000 USD per ounce (from 2,200 before) We now have for 2023 and 2024 a year-end forecast of 2,000," says the economist.
Despite the Federal Reserve's potential easing typically being seen as a boon for gold prices, Boele sees limited upward potential for gold in relation to the US dollar. Investors, she notes, currently hold net-long gold positions, and there is a risk that part of these will be liquidated.
"What is the reasoning behind this?" she asks.
"The start of monetary policy easing by Fed is generally positive for gold prices. But as the market has already anticipated this, it is already reflected in the gold price. Therefore we think that upside in gold prices versus the US dollar is rather limited from current levels, " she adds.
Boele offers a word of caution for investors. Given the currently high levels of gold prices and potential risks, she suggests that being long may not be the most attractive stance from a risk-reward perspective.
DOLLAR INDEX - FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS2023-2024 exchange rate forecasts from Nordea
As far as Federal Reserve policy is concerned, Nordea has revised its forecasts and now expects that there will be two further rate hikes with a 25 basis-point hike in July and another hike in the Autumn.
It also expects that the Fed will be slower to cut rates and adds; “The sticky core inflation picture and the resilient economy also mean that we postpone the first rate cut in our profile to the second half of 2024.”
As far as the ECB is concerned, Nordea agrees with the strong consensus that there will be a further hike in July.
At this stage the bank expects this will be the last rate hike, but does recognise the risk that rates will have to increase further.
It notes; “Risks are clearly tilted towards the hiking cycle continuing also after the summer, though, and if data holds up and core inflation proves sticky, hikes could easily continue in September and even beyond.”
In this context, there is a significant possibility that the ECB will complete rate hikes ahead of the Federal Reserve which would tend to support the dollar.
Nordea considers that markets are too pessimistic on the dollar on the short-term view and expects a Euro to Dollar (EUR/USD) exchange rate retreat to 1.07 during the Summer.
The bank still expects that the dollar will lose ground next year as it becomes clear that the Fed tightening has had a sufficient impact on inflation and the economy.
EUR USD - FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSISMore hawkish global central bank policy actions have increased reservations over the global economy and the latest Euro-Zone data was also significantly weaker than expected.
Weaker risk conditions will also tend to weaken the Euro, especially with scope for defensive dollar demand.
In this context, confidence in the global economy will need to rebound for EUR/USD to secure gains much above 1.1000.
US Dollar (USD) Exchange Rates Forecast - US Economy in the Limelight
The Federal Reserve remains determined to maintain a hawkish policy stance and expects interest rates to increase further, especially with stubborn inflation in the services sector.
The US economic developments will, however, be a key element.
The manufacturing data has remained weak while services-sector growth has remained strong.
The US PMI manufacturing index dipped to a 6-month low of 46.3 for June from 48.4 previously and below expectation of 48.5.
The services-sector index edged lower to a 2-month low of 54.1 from 54.9 and in line with expectations.
Within the data, overall selling prices increased at the slowest rate since October 2020. Manufacturing prices increased at the slowest rate for three years with services-sector increases at 5-month lows.
MUFG still considers that the labour market is showing important signs of weakness.
It notes; “evidence is building that we are close to a turn toward weaker employment data. It is already becoming clearer in the claims data.”
Initial claims have been above 260,000 for three consecutive weeks for the first time since October 2021. Excluding the covid period, it is the highest level since September 2017.
The bank also points to the underlying increase in continuing claims and added; “every time continued claims increases to the degree most recently (570k), the US labour market weakens notably and recession follows.”
According to the bank; “Our current EUR/USD forecasts are 1.0900 in Q2 and 1.1300 in Q3 which reflects our view of a turn in the jobs data that intensifies once again recession fears and strengthens expectations of rate cuts at the back-end of this year and in 2024, which will help fuel renewed dollar selling.”
Euro (EUR) Exchange Rates Dominated by Euro-Zone Reservations
Confidence in the Euro-Zone outlook remains fragile and the latest PMI business confidence data was weaker than expected. The manufacturing index dipped to a 37-month low with a 5-month low for services.
Socgen expressed some reservations over the data; “The only caveat is that the European PMI data aren’t a very useful gauge of what’s happening to the economy, and should be treated with some scepticism.”
Nevertheless, it added; “A return to 1.06 is a significant risk.”
According to Berenberg; In the longer term, we remain moderately optimistic for the euro. However, the economic weakness in the Eurozone is hampering the recovery. We have therefore adjusted our currency forecast slightly downwards and only expect a EUR/USD exchange rate of 1.12 (previously 1.15) by the end of the year.”
Credit Agricole also sees barriers to further Euro gains; “the EUR rate markets have already priced in some ECB tightening beyond July, suggesting that positives are already in the price of the currency.
The bank sees other hurdles; “In addition, the EUR remains the biggest long in the G10 FX market while the broad EUR NEER that the Governing Council uses to gauge the currency's strength across the board has moved very close to its 2009 record high.”
Danske Bank expects the Euro will struggle; “In the euro area, there have been some weakening signs in macro data as of late, which we expect to become even more pronounced in H2, as the full impact of last year’s monetary policy tightening hits the real economy.”
It adds; “Overall, we think the US economy will prove more robust relative to the European counterpart in H2.”
It has a 6-month EUR/USD forecast of 1.0600.
According to ANZ; “A relatively more hawkish ECB, with more work to do in taming inflation, could bring about some upside in the EUR vs the USD in H2 2023. However, given that economic data surprises in the Euro-area are turning negative relative to the US, we believe that any upside in the EUR will be capped at 1.12 in Q3.
ANZ added; “We also think that any rally in the EUR will likely be driven by USD-related factors.”
GBPUSD, H4 | Bounce off major support?Price is testing a major support level at 1.2684 which is a pullback support + ascending support + bullish ichimoku cloud. A bounce from here could see prices rise up towards the take profit target at 1.2830 which is a multi-swing high resistance.

EUR USD - FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSISForeign exchange strategists across global financial institutions have been setting out their predictions for the future performance of the EUR/USD, presenting an amalgamation of analyses that span from modestly optimistic to overly bearish.
Euro-Dollar rate predictions are pinned upon factors ranging from central bank decisions, inflation metrics, and global market sentiment to regional economic performance.
Berenberg: Modest Optimism Despite Economic Weakness
Ulrich Urbahn, CFA Head Multi Asset Strategy & Research at Berenberg, sees the Euro (EUR) gaining ground against the US Dollar (USD) following the European Central Bank's (ECB) recent monetary policy decision.
"After the ECB’s monetary policy decision, the euro gained a little more than a cent and is now trading at a good USD 1.09 per euro," says Urbahn.
His stance is that the Euro (EUR) has the potential to recover, brushing aside the recent corrective phase.
However, he is cognisant of the hurdles posed by the frail economy in the Eurozone, which he sees as a drag on the currency's recovery.
Urbahn remains modestly optimistic in the long run, although this outlook is tempered by a slight downward revision in the forecast.
"In the longer term, we remain moderately optimistic for the euro. However, the economic weakness in the Eurozone is hampering the recovery," he adds.
Consequently, Urbahn now foresees a year-end EUR/USD exchange rate of 1.12, a step down from his previous 1.15 forecast.
Scotiabank: The Bite of Rising Interest Rates
Shaun Osborne, Chief FX Strategist at Scotiabank, presents a rather more cautious view on the euro's performance, pointing to the damaging effects of rising interest rates on the European economy.
He notes a dramatic fall in the Eurozone's PMI data for June, with French Services and German Manufacturing data showing significant dips, effectively signalling a stunted growth rate as the impact of interest rate hikes begins to bite.
"Weaker than expected Eurozone PMI data for June hammered the EUR. French Services data fell to 48 (52.5 in May), pulling the Composite reading to 47.3 (from 51.2). German Manufacturing slumped to 41 (43.2 last) and the Composite reading dipped to 50.8 (from 53.9)," says Osborne.
Nevertheless, the analyst still anticipates the European Central Bank (ECB) to follow through with rate hikes in July, despite this being in the face of weaker growth.
"Markets have tempered ECB expectations as a consequence but policymakers are still very likely to deliver on hikes in July at least. Weaker growth is needed to break core inflation pressures," he adds.
Danske Bank: The Force of US Yield and Rate Increases
Danske Bank's Analyst Kirstine Kundby-Nielsen gives a more detailed view of the shifting global macroeconomic landscape.
The analyst points to the increased US yields and the markets' anticipation of a longer period of elevated interest rates as the principal drivers of the EUR/USD exchange rates' slight downward drift.
The strategist also highlights the comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell about the potential need for one or two more US rate increases in 2023 as a significant factor affecting the exchange rate.
"EUR/USD drifted slightly lower towards 1.0950 on higher US yields and global markets generally pricing a 'higher for longer' interest rate environment," says Kundby-Nielsen.
Highlighting the increasing likelihood of a rate hike from the Fed, she adds, "The 2-year US Treasury yield hit the highest level since March, and the market implied likelihood of a 25bp hike from the Fed in July increased to above 80%."
The strategic analyst further underlines the market response to Powell's comments on the potential for further rate increases this year.
With such economic dynamics in play, Kundby-Nielsen indicates that Danske Bank has assumed a short position on the EUR/USD spot, expecting the underlying fundamentals to swing in favour of the USD.
Credit Agricole: The ECB's Unfinished Rate Hike Business
Valentin Marinov, Head of G10 FX Strategy at Credit Agricole, sheds light on the relatively stronger performance of the euro against other major currencies.
According to Marinov, this is attributable to the increasing market expectations of further rate hikes following the June ECB meeting.
"The EUR was able to outperform other majors like the USD, JPY and CHF as well as recover vs the GBP in recent days," says Marinov.
He postulates that the attractiveness of the euro derives from an anticipation that the ECB is not done with hiking policy rates.
"This could be made quite apparent by next week’s Eurozone HICP data, which may show that core inflation has re-accelerated in June," he adds.
Marinov forecasts that if such data convinces markets to expect more aggressive ECB rate hikes, the EUR could regain more ground.
Yet, he notes potential obstacles, including pre-emptive market pricing of ECB tightening, the EUR's record high strength, and possible negative surprises from the preliminary Eurozone PMIs for June.
MUFG: The Return to Pre-Ukraine Levels
Last but not least, Lee Hardman, Senior Currency Analyst at MUFG, takes a long-term perspective, seeing the recent rebound of the EUR against the USD as part of a greater bullish trend.
He states that the EUR has made up for most of its May sell-off, reversing the trend to climb back up.
He credits the Federal Reserve's decision to halt the rate hike cycle and the ECB's increasing focus on the core inflation outlook as crucial to this rebound.
"The EUR has rebounded against the USD so far this month and in the process has reversed most of sell-off in May," says Hardman.
He forecasts a return to pre-Ukraine crisis levels, expecting the pair to move back to the region of 1.1500.
"The run of higher highs (in January and April) followed by higher lows (in March and May) so far this year highlights that the bullish trend remains in place," he adds.
Nonetheless, Hardman does anticipate that further USD corrections are likely unless supported by stronger US economic data.
This, combined with an expected uptick in Eurozone's core inflation over the summer, could prompt the ECB to consider additional rate hikes in September.
DOLLAR INDEX - FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS2023-2024 exchange rate forecasts from Nordea
As far as Federal Reserve policy is concerned, Nordea has revised its forecasts and now expects that there will be two further rate hikes with a 25 basis-point hike in July and another hike in the Autumn.

DOLLAR INDEX in short correction . DXY💲Hello my friend, Everything is marked on the chart like always. The downward seems to continue to the next support level. We can consider it and entering safe in the Gold , Euro , Pound and etc.
Good luck.
If its useful please like it as a support and follow me to next analysis :)
Bullish Flag pattern 🏺Anticipating Eurusd Bulls to arrive sometime midweek during Powell's speeches. It's simply too difficult for me to not imagine some resurgence of bulls and Market optimism with risk-on buying back up to the 1.096 1Hr Zone Highs from the previous week. The Monthly candle has 11 days left in it and is now a solid bullish candle. I'm anticipating an upside push after a +1% Bullish weekly candle on Eurusd. It was a rather large weekly engulfing last week that was printed and the largest bullish close on said timeframe since the 2nd week of the year.
As stated in the May 24th publishing and roughly 1 month ago, " Bull targets for the month of June are
- a return to 1.1024 weekly level
- a push towards 1.14655 Weekly level. "
This remains as we have 9 trading day's remaining in June 23'. It is quite possible we may just range for some time before probing more towards the weekly level 1.1024.
Must plan for Bullish and Bearish scenarios.
Our most recent Daily S/R Zone stands at 1.0781. It is possible we may go back and test here but like this to be the least probable.
Have a great trading week following the probabilities. Also cutting your losses short and letting your profits run.
Bearish Target on Week 1.08146
Bullish Target on Week 1.10
News Speeches Stir the pot 🕊️// Eurusd We would like to see the Daily candle close above 1.0945 as this will confirm a breakout to the upside. The candle at that point will close above the daily resistance zone created by last friday's daily candle. The idea is that we have momentum leftover from last week and will see the curretn weekly candle push deeper into the Daily/Weekly zones above. Wild trading day for me but besides that Eurusd has seen a resurgence of bullish volume that we were anticipating after last weeks Weekly candle closure. We were anticipating a continuation of momentum this week and I mentnioned in my previous Eurusd publishing that we may pullback and conolisdate early in the week as the markets sets up. The market needs time to gather liquidity before it makes significant moves. It does that by causing alot of volatility and commotion in the short term in order to get traders on tilt and stir up the pot. Moving forward I'm looking towards a retest of the extreme 1Hr Zone 1.096 and eventually an increase to the next daily resistance level 1.0982 during the next london session.
$DXY - Bull Flag *12Hr TVC:DXY - 12Hr* Bull Flag
- TVC:DXY Bull Flag post break-out still valid and in play until Price Action nullifies it.
Breaking the Bull Flag (in green) and the Resistance Trendline (in red) coming from 114 Highs
will confirm another Macro Higher Low in $DXY.
(in play would be the macro wave C putting The Dollar Index at 96)
LH confirmation would give the other Financial Markets sectors room to explode headed to the upside,
stronger then we've seen so far for the year.

Range until Upside on Thursday 📞Eurusd did quite a nice job of Holding 4hr support zone 1.09132. We are currently in a range with the resistance at 1.094. The Daily resistance level at 1.0945 held quite well during tuesday's London session. The NY session 4hr candle on Tuesday wicked beneath 4Hr support 1.09132 -> 15-18 some odd pips but closed back inside after buyers showed up and said not today. It is not odd to see the market pullback against the trend from the previous week on Monday/Tuesday as it has done here. The Size of the current " Bearish push" has been 1/8 the size of the Bullish push from the previous week. During the upcoming sessions I can observe a retest of 1.094 4Hr Resistance zone. We have 2 upcoming red folder speeches by Fed chair Jerome Powell which will impact USD strength. Unemployment claims on Thursday and Manufacturing data on Friday to wrap up the week. Unemployment data is supposed to be about flat from the prior week which I see as favorable for a continued ascent on Eurusd Weekly timeframe. Manufacturing data on Friday is forecasted to be mixed. Thinking we can give a good push back to the highs 1.096 1Hr Zone prior to red folder news on friday.
The Market Moves Major pips on thursday's. This is because early on in the week the market is setting up. It's setting up for the trend move later on in the week. The Week Matures around Wednesday and Thursday. These are the days when it is especially a good idea to " Let your winners run" .
💾 U.S. Dollar Index & Bitcoin/CryptocurrencyInverse correlation to Bitcoin.
When this drops, Bitcoin goes up or so people say but it works at least on the short-term.
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY)
Here we have some mixed signals in the short-term, which is the same I noticed with some of the charts I shared yesterday.
Short-term, very short as in the 1H, 4H and Daily timeframe, I see a potential bounce taking place but very weak.
A potential for a bounce but the overall technicals are bearish.
That's the mixed part, the fact that a bounce (up) can develop.
Long-term, as in the Weekly and Monthly timeframes, the signals are clear. Bearish.
- Last week session closed as a full red candle; third week red in a row.
- This was a rejection of EMA10, EMA21 and EMA50, the weekly DXY now trades below all these levels.
- The RSI is below 50 as well on the weekly timeframe.
- Lower highs since September 2022.
- Trading above EMA100 which is working as support. The current sideways action is sort of a distribution phase... See the chart:
- Last month the DXY closed above EMA10 followed by a rejection this one, so trading back below this level.
- Bearish divergence with the RSI, since March 2015.
RSI lower highs:
DXY higher highs:
If the inverse relation to Crypto is true, this would match perfectly with the upcoming Bitcoin's bull market.
Namaste.
