EURUSD: Weekly Forecast 16th - 20th March 2020EURUSD fell for 4 consecutive days after facing strong resistance at a 13-month supply zone just before 1.15.
The price was saw supported twice around 1.1060 which is also the Fibo retracement 61.8%.
However, the price did close more bearish by the time the market close and is most likely to dip lower.
Look for buy opportunity as the price pulls back into the demand zone around 1.10, which also coincides with the top of the previously broken 21-month falling channel.
Weeklyforecast
Dollar: Weekly Forecast 16th - 20th March 20202 things happened as our forecast last week:
1) The dollar broke new low and reach the 17-month demand zone around 95
2) The dollar pulled back into the supply zone sitting above 97.
But what was unexpected was the consecutive gain up to 4 days which caused the dollar to recover more than 75% of the previous bearish trend.
It seems that the outbreak of the coronavirus has continued to cause more fear and drove demand for safe-haven assets such as the dollar again.
Nevertheless, the dollar is about to face strong resistance from 99 onwards.
The Fed is also expected to cut rate by another 0.25%-0.5% in the coming Fed Fund rate decision.
Not until the dollar breaks 100, we will keep a bearish stance and look for opportunities to sell the dollar again.
Gold: Weekly Forecast 24th - 28th February 2020The gold achieved the highest closing price in 85 months last week.
The price has climbed continuously throughout the week and regained all losses from the previous week.
It is worth to note that three major central banks announced a rate cut in the same week, with one of them been an emergency rate cut and it was none other than the Fed.
This is already a very major sign of a worsening economic downturn globally and risk sentiment will continue to increase with the spread of the coronavirus, jeopardising business activities on a global scale.
At the current rate, the gold is expected to climb much further than what was expected in late 2019.
It was first projected to peak at 1620 but was very soon surpassed, and the current projection can easily hit 1800.
In fact, the gold could break its historical high of 1920, should the current situation develops into the next financial crisis since 2008.
This week, we expect the gold to pull back at first as the dollar rebounds off from a low.
We will be watching the current demand zone around 1640 to buy the gold.
Dollar: Weekly Forecast 9th - 13th March 2020The dollar plunged for a second week and the had the biggest dropped in a week in 4 years.
The acceleration of the slide was most definitely caused by an emergency rate cut by the Fed.
However, the US market labour posted strong employment numbers and a drop in the unemployment rate back to an all-time low.
The dollar has probably gone too far into an oversold zone and a pullback should be taking place due to demand from a 13-month low.
Nevertheless, the dollar might have turned technically bearish as it broke below the bottom of a 21-month rising channel.
This week, we expect the dollar to pull back towards a short-term supply zone just above 97.
However, should the price continues to fall, the next target will be the 17-month demand zone around 95.
EUR/CAD: SELL SETUP with high probabillityHey tradomaniacs,

GBPAUD W8 Price peaked at longterm down fib before starting to slide back down on Higher volume
Scenario 1: Test and bounce off of ema (BLUE) for a final retest of 1.9600 and then we can
expect a swift retracement down to 61% and we can see the price touching 1.9375 by end of Feb completing a 5 wave pattern
Scenario 2: straight meltdown to 61% fib, retest of 1.9500 and down to 1.9375 in 3 wave pattern
Gold: Weekly Forecast 24th - 28th February 2020I left the gold chart almost unchanged from early February.
The price movement turned out almost like what I've forecast - a quick pullback and then a new bullish trend to send the price to a new high.
This is the power of how repeating pattern is and how you can make great trading decisions.
As of current, the gold is expected to continue climbing this week.
There will be a short and small pullback and the price will continue to break new high before you realise.
So stay alert this week and try entering small buy positions as the price pulls back.
Dollar: Weekly Forecast 24th - 28th February 2020The dollar broke a 34-month high but faced strong resistance just before reaching 100.
The reversal came as soon as the U.S. reported a disappointing Markit manufacturing and services PMI.
But what really caused the dollar to fall is simply due to overbought sentiment.
The pullback is most likely temporary but the price is most likely to retrace further before it rebounds and resumes appreciation.
Watch for the demand zone at 98.7 to buy the dollar again.
Dollar: Weekly Forecast 17th - 21st February 2020The dollar rose for the 2nd consecutive week and reached a 4-month supply zone.
Fed Chairman Powell was hawkish in his last testimony and inflation rate hit a 15-month high.
Combining the development of the technical price and the underlying fundamentals, the dollar will eventually break new high again.
However, the dollar might be too overbought and may pull back very soon in the coming week.
Wait for a pullback towards the 98.5 region before buying the dollar again.
Dollar: Weekly Forecast 10th - 14th February 2020The dollar has climbed for 5 consecutive days last week.
The U.S. economic data released were all better than forecast except for manufacturing PMI that's somewhat shrinking.
During NFP, the dollar had a temporary pullback, probably due to overbought sentiment, but quickly picked up again and broke a 4-month high.
As the price continues to create higher highs and lows and shown no sign of reversal, the price is expected to climb further.
The occurrence of 5 consecutive bullish candles is not common and thus increases the odds of a pullback.
AUDUSD: Weekly Forecast 3rd - 7th February 2020The Aussie was heavily and negatively impacted by the Coronavirus outbreak which has sent the price tumbling for the entire January.
The RBA has been cutting interest rate in order to revive its economic growth since late 2011, from above 4% to only 0.75%.
However, inflation continued to remain subdued and yet another major event, the Coronavirus, hit the Australia economy in the face.
Since inflation has somewhere picked up in 2019 and getting very close to RBA's 2% inflation target, it is understandable that RBA will keep its rate unchanged, also given the fact that the central bank has cut rate thrice in 2019.
And since AUDUSD has weakened so much for the entire January, that really helps RBA to hold back from another rate cut so soon.
This week, we may expect some rebound from the current demand zone around 0.6680.
If price rebounded off and pulls back, look for selling opportunity again at 0.6750.
If the price proceeded to break the 3-month demand zone, then we will just have to wait for a pullback to sell.
Bottom line is that don't just jump in and chase the trend right away.
Gold: Weekly Forecast 3rd - 7th February 2020The gold price pulled back and rebounded off just as expected from our previous weekly forecast.
With the increased coronavirus fatality, demand continues to rise for safe-haven asset thus boosting the gold price further.
Based on the technical chart, we continue to see the price repeating the historical pattern from February 2019 such as the 3-month consolidation and how the price broke out of the consolidation.
The gold price peaked somewhere near 1612 and pulled back sharply and fell into a short consolidation where the price will eventually pick up and rise again, just like what it is now.
So, if we take the historical pattern into consideration, the gold price which is expected to rise further this week will face strong resistance as it retests the previous high around 1612.
The price would then pull back sharply while maintaining a higher-low stance towards 1580 to 1556, and then the price will ride onto another bull-run.
Dollar: Weekly Forecast 3rd - 7th February 2020The dollar tumbled upon a bearish cypher, in line with our previous weekly forecast.
While the dollar is not fundamentally weak, the previous bull run has caused a technical overbought.
And so during the FOMC where the Fed is widely expected to keep rates unchanged, the dollar lost its ground.
Besides, the Brexit was finally over and a major factor for risk-off is out of the picture which caused safe-haven currency such as dollar and yen to lose its demand.
This week, we expect the dollar to continue the current bearish run and will face some support near 97 but will eventually fall further and reach 96.
Gold: Weekly Forecast 27th - 31st Jan 2020The gold climbed on rising demand for safe-haven assets amid China's coronavirus outbreaks.
The yen also climbed this morning as USDJPY gapped lower, strengthening the outlook of the demand for safe-haven assets.
As such, we can wait for the price to pull back, looking at 1572 - 1567 to buy again.
The 55MA can act as a support in the H1 chart as the price pulls back.
EURUSD: Weekly Forecast 20th - 24th Jan 2020EURUSD was climbing at first as it found support and rebounded off 1.1085 on a harmonic pattern too.
However, the bullish trend was weak which led to a technical selloff as it formed a bearish ABCD and the bear took over on the last trading day.
This week, the price is likely to dip lower and will soon reach the bottom of a 3-month rising channel.
We will wait for the price to retrace lower and look for buying opportunity around 1.1055 area.
Also, a big load of euro data will be released in the latter part of this week.
Dollar: Weekly Forecast 20th - 24th Jan 2020The dollar was mixed among the major pairs last week as it weakened at first but recovered strongly on the last trading day.
The momentum of a bearish dollar failed to continue on and the price has broken above a 3-month falling trendline.
The price will face a 1-month supply zone immediately and may pull back first before climbing further.
We expect the dollar to recover more losses and rise towards the 3-month supply zone at 98.4.
This will allow further retracement among the major pairs, leading to a better price to short the dollar later.
Gold: Weekly Forecast 13th – 17th Jan 2020Gold had a 5th consecutive bullish run in the weekly timeframe and confirming a break-above of a 4-month high at 1557.
However, it also had one of the biggest weekly pullbacks in a...very long time.
This particular pullback was no surprise as the price surged into a close to the 7-year supply zone where huge take profits and pending sell orders are expected.
While the gold price has climbed extensively, the gold is probably far from realising its bullish potential.
From the technical perspective, all moving averages are clearly pointing to a bullish structure and the pullback on last Wednesday did not rally any further selloff.
And fundamentally, with global tensions still going on such as the recent US-Iran tension, the ongoing US-China trade war which is far from over, the weakening of the dollar as the Fed could not raise rate any further and still injecting more liquidity, gold can't seem to weaken.
This week, we will continue to wait for buying opportunity looking from 1543 to 1530 region.
The gold is expected to reach 1620 in the next 2 weeks.
