Market News Report - 16 June 2024The euro and Japanese yen were the biggest losers in the past week, facing losses against several currencies exceeding 1%. Both markets declined based on their expected short and long-term outlooks.
The British pound also lost some ground recently, aligning with a few fundamentals. Of course, there are other interesting developments to observe to begin yet another week in the ever-liquid forex market.
Market Overview
Below is a brief technical and fundamental analysis breakdown for all major currencies.
US dollar (USD)
Short-term outlook: weak bearish.
Building on the prior week's Non-Farm Payrolls, the US dollar benefitted from positive inflation figures.
Meanwhile, the Dixie or dollar index fooled many traders. It first broke the major resistance discussed last week, and just as it looked to test the previous support, it made a new high, breaking the resistance at 105.742.
So, the next resistance target is at 106.490, while the support lies far below at 104.257. In short, DXY looks more bullish than bearish.
Long-term outlook: weak bearish.
Despite the technicals, the long-term outlook is 'weak bearish.' This is based on the Fed keeping the interest rate unchanged last week and the potential for the central bank to cut it at least once this year. The latest inflation data also went against the greenback.
However, positive changes to upcoming news, such as retail sales, could strengthen the dollar.
Euro (EUR)
Short-term outlook: weak bearish.
The euro still feels the effects of the recent interest rate cut by the European Central Bank, along with negative inflation data.
The euro closed the week by breaking two support levels, confirming this short-term outlook. So, we should expect this market to test the nearby support at 1.06494. Meanwhile, it is a considerable distance from the resistance at 1.08524. Thus, the euro is likelier to test the former than the latter.
Long-term outlook: weak bearish.
The long-term outlook remains the same from the last few weeks, thanks to worsening inflation, a poor Gross Domestic Product, and the rate cut. With no high-impact news to anticipate this coming week, the bias must be bearish until new significant changes occur.
British pound (GBP)
Short-term outlook: bearish.
The British pound suffered from lacklustre economic data concerning unemployment and Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Moreover, the Bank of England (BoE) has left the interest rate unchanged since November 2023 and asserted that they must be dovish for some time.
The technical analysis aligns with this outlook. GBP broke the recent support (at 1.26866) discussed in last week's report. There are multiple resistance points of reference after this level. However, the key one lies far ahead at 1.24457. Meanwhile, the critical support lies at 1.28606
Long-term outlook: bearish.
The new Bank of England's bank rate (or interest rate) will be the most anticipated event happening on Thursday. The consensus is for the central bank to keep the rate unchanged or potentially cut it.
Still, we should expect surprises, such as the upcoming year-on-year inflation data the day prior, where the BoE remains confident of reaching its target.
Japanese yen (JPY)
Short-term outlook: weak bullish.
While the Bank of Japan kept interest rates unchanged last week, STIR (short-term interest rate) markets indicate a rate hike next month. Lower US Treasury yields, which usually offer a bullish JPY, would also be a catalyst.
Despite this outlook, the Japanese yen was technically among the biggest losers. Having breached the recent key resistance, all eyes will be on the next target at 160.233. This is significant as it would be an all-time high and a 'line in the sand' for the Bank of Japan.
On the other hand, the key support is far below at 154.546.
Long-term outlook: weak bullish
As with the short term, the anticipated rate hike would provide JPY with an upside. Additionally, it would also be declining Treasury yields. Finally, any intervention or active involvement of Japan's Ministry of Finance through selling the dollar to buy the yen is also worth considering.
Australian dollar (AUD)
Short-term outlook: weak bullish.
The interest rate linked to the Aussie has remained at 4.35% since November last year. Furthermore, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has revised its inflation forecasts higher.
The Australian dollar shares an interesting correlation with China. Data indicating growth in this region (stimulus, new infrastructure projects, solid economic data, etc.) should boost the former.
Technically, things are pretty interesting for the Aussie. We see a range amid an uptrend, along with a false break at last week's key resistance area (then 0.66986). The new support to watch is now 0.67043, while the key support lies not far below at 0.65580.
Long-term outlook: weak bullish.
Aussie traders will have keenly diarised the RBA interest rate on Tuesday. The central bank will likely keep the rate unchanged or raise it, which would benefit the currency. Still, the Australian dollar is exposed to slow economic growth in other countries.
New Zealand dollar (NZD)
Short-term outlook: weak bullish.
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) is very much like the neighbouring RBA. While keeping rates the same, Governor Orr indicated a hike almost occurred. They also hinted last month that a rate hike would only "be meaningful if we thought inflation expectations were getting away on us again."
Like other central banks, the RBNZ is battling inflation and seeks to keep it at 2%.
It comes as no surprise that NZD mirrors the price action of AUD. This market also produced a false break at last week's support level (then 0.62155). The new key resistance level is now 0.62220, while 0.60888 is the key support.
Long-term outlook: weak bullish.
The hawkish stance suggested by the RBNZ is the key bullish catalyst. However, incoming data regarding the economy and labour will also play a role. Furthermore, the New Zealand dollar is also a risk-sensitive currency like the Aussie, which can also be detrimental.
Canadian dollar (CAD)
Short-term outlook: bearish.
After the recent rate cut two weeks ago, STIR markets show a 50/50 chance of the same next month. The Bank of Canada has also confirmed a dovish path.
USD/CAD spanned almost the range between last week's key support and resistance areas. So, really, this market can go either way. The key support is at 1.36630, while the key resistance is at 1.37919.
Long-term outlook: bearish.
Besides the expected rate drops, the Canadian dollar is often sensitive to oil prices.
However, any rise in the latter regard can strengthen CAD, along with upcoming positive inflation, jobs and GDP data.
Swiss franc (CHF)
Short-term outlook: weak bearish.
STIR markets see a 76% chance of the Swiss National Bank cutting rates on Thursday. Furthermore, the chairperson Thomas Jordan recently hinted at intervention, where they would sell currencies like the US dollar and euro to strengthen their own.
Surprisingly, USD/CHF hovers quite close to the key support at 0.88810 while being a considerable distance from the key resistance at 0.91582.
Long-term outlook: weak bearish.
Although high chances of a rate cut are bad news for the Swiss franc, SNB's willingness for intervention and geo-political risks may spell an upside for the currency.
Conclusion
The fundamental biases from last week's report remain the same for the current period. It will be interesting to see how the action unfolds on the charts, with high-impact news events to anticipate, like the interest rate decisions for GDP and AUD.
Understanding the fundamental and technical sides of trading in the simplest way possible is crucial in making well-informed decisions. That's the point of these reports by City Traders Imperium.

USDJPY Forecast for the WeekThe USD/JPY pair is experiencing volatility this week, driven by economic indicators and central bank sentiments. Initially pressured by lower-than-expected April inflation data, the US dollar saw potential for Fed policy easing, though Fed representatives have remained cautious. Weak preliminary Japanese GDP figures further contributed to uncertainty, potentially delaying Bank of Japan interest rate hikes. Technically, the pair is within a long-term ascending channel, with resistance at 156.25 and support at 153.12. Technical indicators suggest an uptrend continuation, but traders are closely monitoring central bank actions and key levels for further direction.
Resistance levels: 156.25, 159.37, 162.50.
Support levels: 153.12, 150.00.
Long positions can be opened above the 156.25 mark with targets of 159.37, 162.50 and stop-loss around 154.00.
Short positions should be opened below the level of 153.12 with the target of 150.00 and stop-loss around 155.20.
How to win a PROP FIRM? Some life-changing trickSome people asked me a system to win prop-firm challenge and be funded. I decided to share some mind blowing trick that can really let you win your first prop firm and became really, really profitable. Lot of people ask lot of money for this, i am just asking a like, a follow and your support. So, let's start with some trick:
- If you have a $10.000 account, what lot size will you use?
- Most traders use 0.50/1.0 Lots a trades. Let me say, especially if you are a beginner, that this is wrong and you will fail 100%. Why? Because it will be really hard for you to manage emotions and be accurate. I know, some systems use 1:3, 1:6 or above R:R and you can also have a 30% win rate to be still profitable. I know that, i know how to increse accuracy, i know the best level to enter, the inducement entry, the high accuracy setup and most of the shit you can find online. But let's be honest, most of the traders that start a challenge account, sucks with system and will fail. And, most important, traders that start a challenge are not professionals that can spent 8/10 hrs a day waiting for the best entry.
- So what system should i use to win a challenge?
- Swing. Probably, if you start a challenge, you will fail in the first week. Go swing, wait for the profits, manage the entries, and using my money management system, you can chill and don't be worried during the challenge.
- What about the money management so?
- I will explain you better in a new thread, if this ideas will reach at least 15 likes.
- This shit is not helpful, i there is nothing new that can help me.
- So, i will show you something so simple that will change your trading style in a second. I suggest you to use cTrader. In cTrader, when you open a pair, you can see market sentiment. this will show you a ratio about long/short. When you see that the sentiment is imbalanced (More than 60% are long or short) you know that you should wait and not open a trades. You will see the sentiment increasing in long or short (it will be 80/20, and probably more in the next days). I am pretty sure your analysis are agree with the market sentiment. So, if 97% of the traders loose money and, for example, 85% of traders are short, what do you think the price will do? There are high chances will go in the opposite direction. So wait, and don't be worried to miss a profitable trades. Every trader is thinking exactly like you. Sentiment is telling you that. They will loose money at 97%, do you?
I have lot of trick more that will really help you win a prop firm, and be profitable. Support and follow me and i will reveal more

XAUUSD TO 2000$ 🤔 ?Gold price has faced a sharp sell-off after failing to recapture the weekly high of $2,062. The precious metal has dropped to near $2,030 and is expected to remain on tenterhooks before getting fresh cues about the timing of rate cuts from the Fed. The yellow metal has surrendered entire gains generated on Monday and has corrected below the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which trades around $2,039.
More downside could appear in the Gold price if it fails to defend the January 3 low of $2,030, which will expose it towards the psychological support of $2,000.
Gold to 2300$ ? ( XAUUSD Next Move ) After all analysis I have made and 2022-2023 events , the yellow metal TVC:GOLD breaks his highest resistance ever , this week as expected due to the bearish divergence . OANDA:XAUUSD have corrected to his new highest support , so I took long trades from 1982$ zone and my first target is 2120$ , then others are 2300$ . Let's catch up on high traders ;)) !!
Gold break his highest resistance ever ! (XAUUSD)All technicals shows that OANDA:XAUUSD will keep running higher and higher , fundamentals too as we can see this is a war cycle , first ukraine then gaza those are a real factors that will push the gold higher and higher , the chart shows a strong bulls breakout . For me this week will probably see 2100 !
Gold Next Move ( High or Low ? )TVC:GOLD fell to near 7-month lows Thursday as traders pushed the yellow toward mid $1,800 levels in a decisive break from the $1,900-an-ounce support decimated in the prior session. Gold’s collapse below the $1,900 level has opened the door for technical selling towards the $1,870 region,” added Moya. :”If global bond yields are heading higher despite expectations that inflation will come down, current market positioning could allow a gold plunge towards the $1,800 region.
So my opinion about short term , the yellow metal OANDA:XAUUSD will retest to 1887 zone then we will see if he breaks the resistance line or reject it .
Gold (XAUUSD) Next Move 💣 !Gold prices fell below key levels on Wednesday, extending a recent slump as persistent fears of rising interest rates, following hawkish signals from the Federal Reserve . As we can see that he breaks the support level and going toward the next one 1885 . For me the yellow metal will bounce at that level and get back to high levels due to russia and ukraine war . TVC:GOLD
