USOil | New perspective for the week | Follow-up detailThe previous month witnessed a 4% drop in oil prices despite the OPEC+ member's decision to cut a further 1.7 million barrels from its daily output, adding to an earlier pledge from November to take off 2.0 million barrels per day. The implementation of this pledged cut is supposed to begin next month - May 2023 and this could result in some interesting market influx as the month starts in the coming week. In this video, I shared with you my thought process from a technical standpoint as we plan to take a decisive position ahead of the market opening.

Taking an Aggressive Approach for Extended TargetsAfter a considerable wait, the bullish bat pattern has finally been completed, indicating a potential buying opportunity for traders. However, conservative traders may want to wait for the candlestick to close at 1.2463 before entering the trade. On the other hand, I took a more aggressive approach and entered the trade today, given the presence of two extended targets on the GBPUSD trade. It will be interesting to see how this trade progresses, and I have placed a safe house at the traditional first target of the Bat Pattern to manage my risk effectively.

Why News Headlines Can Be MisleadingIn recent times, we have been bombarded with headlines such as "Dollar Slide", "US Debt Ceiling Closing", "US Bank Failure", "19 Countries show interest in joining the BRICS". While these news items may give the impression of a weakening US Dollar, it is important to take a closer look at the chart. Contrary to these headlines, the US Dollar is actually appreciating! Smart traders know it is important to analyse chart patterns and not rely solely on news headlines. For trend traders, a buying opportunity could arise when the market retraces and sits on the blue trendline. Meanwhile, counter-trend traders may need to adopt an aggressive approach by waiting for the 3-bar reversal to appear within the red box for a potential counter-trend trading move. Remember, don't be misled by news headlines, always analyse the chart and make informed trading decisions.

Critical Support Level Identified for GBPUSDOn closer analysis of the GBPUSD on a higher timeframe, it is evident that the candlestick has closed above the previous high, thereby confirming the bullish trend of the currency. However, one must exercise caution before diving in, as the current market price is currently situated on the weekly chart supply zone, which traditionally indicates a sell zone. Nevertheless, my outlook remains bullish on the GBPUSD, and I plan to take a measured approach by waiting for the market to retrace back to 1.2500 and watch out for a Double Bottom on the 1-hourly chart before making any trading decisions. This strategy will enable me to minimize risk while maximizing potential returns.

GBPUSD | Perspective for the new week | Follow-upDespite US job growth slowing down, the economy still added 236,000 jobs in March though below expectation and has averaged gains of 345,000 per month during the first quarter, well above the level the central bank sees as consistent with its 2% inflation goal. An immediate reaction resulted in the dollar strengthening on Friday hereby suggesting that the Federal Reserve may have to raise interest rates next month. With nonfarm payrolls out of the way, all attention is now focused on next week's US consumer price index (CPI) for the month of March. From a technical standpoint, this video shed light on the critical nature of the current market structure as we anticipate the series of high-impact macroeconomic events in the coming week.

XAUUSD | New perspective | follow-up detailsGold prices sliced through the key HKEX:2 ,000 level on Tuesday after a sharp drop in U.S. job openings in February. The yellow metal touched its highest in one year on Wednesday as recent U.S. economic data fanned fears of a slowdown and spurred bets the Federal Reserve may ease up on rate hikes. Following the public holiday on Friday, we were not able to see the immediate reaction of price action to the NFP reading which revealed additional 236,000 jobs in March. In this video, we took a technical dissection of the current market structure to identify a simple set-up to guide trading activities in the coming week(s).

USDJPY | Perspective for the new week | follow-up detailsWith the appearance of a potential reversal pattern in the 4H timeframe; I am of the opinion that the USDJPY pair seems poised to register weekly gains for the first time in a couple of weeks. And to further buttress this is the fundamental indicator from data showing a sudden rise in the US jobless claims hereby indicating a cool effect in the labor market. With this reading, the sentiment in the market remains "hopeful" as key players expect there could be limited headroom to keep raising interest rates, especially in the face of a potential banking crisis. In this video, we took a technical dissection of the current market structure to weigh in on the potential trading opportunity for the coming week(s).

GBPUSD | Perspective for the new week | Follow-upU.S. consumer spending rose moderately in February, while inflation showed signs of cooling hereby boosting hopes the Federal Reserve would be less aggressive in hiking interest rates. On the other hand, a dim economic outlook overshadows data revealing Britain avoided a recession in the final months of 2022 could be a turning point for the Sterling as it hit resistance again at the close of last week's trading session at the $1.24500 zone. In this video, we did a technical analysis of the current market structure to decipher what to look out for in the coming week as all eyes will be on the NFP data amongst other high-impact macroeconomic events this week.

XAUUSD | New perspective | follow-up detailsIn what appears to be an unprecedented win, gold prices are up 9% since the beginning of the month of March and this happens to be the first time price will test the $2,000 zone this year as the US banking crisis in March was a bullish catalyst for the yellow metal hereby keeping the safe haven in demand. However, the inability of the bulls to break out of the $2,000 mark in the last couple of weeks is a strong signal that the momentum is gradually thinning out which could possibly be a result of inflation showing signs of "cooling" hereby boosting hopes the Federal Reserve would be less aggressive in hiking interest rates. So, will this lead to a "profit-taking" activity this week? In this video, we looked at the potential of both buying and selling opportunities as all eyes remain on the high-impact events coming up this week.

USOil | New perspective for the week | Follow-up detailThe OPEC+ oil producers on Sunday announced further oil output cuts of around 1.16 million barrels per day hereby bringing the total volume of cuts by OPEC+ members to 3.66 million bpd according to Reuters calculations - a whopping 3.7% of the global oil demand.

USDJPY | Perspective for the new week | follow-up detailsIt was a rollercoaster of buys and sells during the course of last week's trade session as price action traded around the key level identified around the 131.000 level to emphasize a level of indecision in the market. Japan CPI inflation dips from over 40-year highs in Feb and the reading was at its lowest level since September 2022 but was still well above the BoJ's annual target of 2%. Readings came in at 3.3% down from 4.3% in the prior month... Next week is coming with a couple of fundamental activities that will bring some liquidity to the market; from the BoJ governor's press conference about monetary policies in Tokyo to the GDP data from the US docket. In this video, we technically analyzed the market structure with the intent of identifying potential trading opportunities in the coming week(s).

XAUUSD | New perspective | follow-up detailsThe gold struck a fourth straight weekly gain, settling within a strong psychological range of the $2,000/$1,935 as heightened inflation worries coupled with the banking crisis in the US and Europe limited the growing potential of the Greenback hereby making the Gold a safe haven for market players. In this regard we scooped over 1,500 pips during the course of last week's trading session (see the link below for reference purposes) to end last week on a profitable note.

GBPUSD | Perspective for the new week | Follow-upFollowing a profitable week for us, the Pound tested a seven-week high of the 1.23500 zone during the course of last week's trading session. The BoE raised interest rate by 25bps on Thursday to a new 15-year high of 4.25%, an attempt to tame double-digit inflation in the UK and the Sterling rose 0.5% against the dollar on the back of the news but was unable to hold the momentum as price action broke down the trendline that has been supporting the bullish momentum in the last couple of weeks. The Dollar steadied as a result of this development as confidence in the banking sector remained fragile. In this video, we analyzed the charts from a technical standpoint to figure out tendencies of price action in the coming week(s).

USOil | New perspective for the week | Follow-up detailFollowing approximately 2,000 pips in profit last week (see link below for reference purposes); we took a fresh new look at the chart as US Oil prices hit their lowest point since December 2021. I think the slump in oil prices this time, had little to do with supply-demand but more with the crisis of confidence at banks that provide the liquidity for trading this commodity and the potential interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve have also led to fears that the US economy could end up in a recession.

USDJPY | Perspective for the new week | follow-up detailsThe crisis in the US banking sector last week lured market participants into a safe haven in the Yen as the US dollar showed signs of losing momentum. Following this development; the Yen closed the week with approximately 3% gain against the dollar. Heading into the new week, the Greenback doesn't seem popular at this moment as the call for rewidening the Fed's balance sheet grows stronger and we can not ignore the upcoming Federal Reserve decision which will trigger a risk-aversed perspective.

XAUUSD | New perspective | follow-up detailsFollowing a profitable week for Gold (see link below for reference purposes); the rally in gold shows that it has become the spotlight as the banking crisis drove more investors towards it for safe havens. Gold hit 11-month highs, breaking from the mid-$1,900 zone and strongly heading for the $2,000. As the fears that the U.S. economy could end up in a deep recession lingers, there is a high chance of a range-bound market activity until we get some data from the Federal Reserve after which massive traction will be witnessed in the coming week(s).

GBPUSD | Perspective for the new week | Follow-upThe U.K. economy reflected signs of positivity with preliminary estimates showing gross domestic product rose by 0.3%. However, the potential to raise interest rates at the BoE's next meeting in two weeks’ time remains on the table as inflation has been running at around 10% for the last six months.
