Gold: Weekly Forecast 8th - 12th JulyAfter 6 consecutive weeks of bullish candles, the gold finally closed with a bearish candle last week as it fell into a range between 1437 and 1383.
The gold plunged during NFP and was supported and pulled back sharply from a demand zone near 1390.
The gold was not able to keep breaking new high mainly because the US and China have called a truce for their trade war and also the dampening of more than one rate cut this year by the Fed.
However, the fact that the Fed can no longer raise rate, the trade war still exist and other global risks, the gold is still fundamentally strong and is expected to climb further in the very near future.
Traders can actually attempt to buy gold as soon as the market opens and support is still seen at 1390.
This is probably the point C of the Elliott wave correction after the 5th wave has ended at the high of 1438.
Weeklymarketsanalysis
EURUSD: Weekly Forecast 8th - 12th JulyEURUSD plunged the most in 4 months as well for the same fundamental reason as the dollar.
However, what's slightly different as compared to the dollar technically is that the price did not pull back as much.
The price was seen supported and started to pull back from a demand zone just above 1.12 but it managed to close above the bottom of a rising channel.
Nevertheless, if the price continues to climb at the beginning of the week and manage to climb back into the channel, the break will be invalid and the price could climb further.
Also, this was the 5th Elliott wave and price could potentially reverse or retrace strongly back to 1.13 or beyond.
For buyers, look to buy near 1.12 and aim for 1.126, 1.128 and 1.135.
For sellers, only consider selling when the price breaks and closes below 1.12.
Dollar: Weekly Forecast 8th - 12th JulyThe dollar has its strongest weekly gain in 4 months as NFP data has shown strong employment, dampening the bets of more than one rate cut by the Fed this year.
However, the dollar found strong resistance as it attempted to pierce through a falling trendline and got rejected by a strong supply zone around 97.3.
The price kept falling until the market closes and managed to close just below the falling trendline and the supply zone, showing a sign of successful resistance.
The dollar is most likely to experience consolidation in the first half of the week as the market awaits the FOMC meeting minutes and Fed Powell to testify.
If the dollar were to inch higher and close above 97.3, the price will climb further and test 97.7.
If not, the dollar will most likely fall again and test the immediate support at 96.6.
US Dollar Currency Index / W / Weekly Forex Analysis / 7.7.2019Hello Traders, welcome to the Weekly Forex technical analysis. Today is July 7th, 2019 and we will be taking a look at the U.S. Dollar Currency Index on the weekly chart just to get into the calendar, and have an outlook into the upcoming week of July 8th. Looking at the Dollar Index here on a weekly time frame, we can see the DXY rebounded significantly from last week. Overall the DXY picked up a lot strength heading into this week and will be looking at 97.63 and 98.34 as resistance areas. On the other hand if we don't get any momentum to the upside, we will be looking for 96.02 for an area of support. If that breaks, our next level of support would be looking for is the 95.08 region. Thank you for tuning in please feel free to write a comment or leave some feedback, any advice is greatly appreciated. Have great day and good hunting out there traders!
USD/JPYThe dollar yen pair has passed, and it's currently retesting the important support/resistance at the 108,000 price level. To testify the importance of this level, on the weekly chart it can be seen that it coincides with the fibonacci retracement 0.618, tested several times during the last two years.
From a fundamental point of view, what reinforces my idea of going short is the expectation that the FED will actually decide to lower interest rates, hence a possible depreciation of the dollar.
EURUSD: Weekly Forecast 24th - 28th JuneEURUSD dipped lower on the second trading day last week as Draghi hinted an additional stimulus if needed.
However, the dollar has weakened so much as the Fed turned dovish and raise the expectation of a rate cut in months to come.
The price soared for 3 days and closed high before the market closes, creating another long bullish candle similar to 2 weeks ago.
Nevertheless, the upside is still quite limited and since the euro is also facing weakness of further stimulus, the price will still be somewhat tamed.
In this week, we will continue to wait for a retracement before going for a buying opportunity, the first level seen at 1.1355, followed by 1.1340.
Gold: Weekly Forecast 24th - 28th JuneThe gold price surged and broke out of close to 3 years consolidation and is heading towards a 6-year high in the coming week.
The gold has gained close to 60 dollars last week with the biggest one seen on Thursday hours after the Fed has signalled for a probable rate cut in the foreseeable future.
The market is expecting a maximum of 2, if not, 1 rate cut as early as September this year and that would potentially mean a crisis for the dollar.
As for the gold price, all losses have been recovered earlier this year and before the Fed signals for a rate cut (or holding interest rate), yet the price has climbed so fast before any rate cut.
On the monthly chart, the price can easily climb further and beyond 1500 but will meet with strong resistance at 1590.
It is almost guaranteed that gold will continue to climb for the next 3 months if the trade war persisted and global interest rate continues to edge lower.
In this week, we will wait for the price retrace lower and test 1388, followed by the demand zone at 1382 to look for a buy opportunity.
Weekly Outlook: Brent Crude forms double bottom patternBrent crude has fallen almost $15 since its 2019 peak of $75, forming a double bottom pattern which aligns with the 61.8% Fib level of the Dec 24 - Apr 25 move.
Crude inventories came in higher than expected for the last six Wednesdays, which played an important role in the $15 fall.
However, a possible escalation of tensions in the Middle East after two tankers were attacked earlier this week may support oil in the coming days.
If the double bottom pattern shows to hold, a break above $64.70 may target $67.20, followed by $70.50.
Events to Look Out for Next WeekA policy-packed week, with monetary policy meeting in the world’s major economies (Fed, BoJ, BoE), and the potential for guidance regarding future interest rate actions, albeit cuts in the prevailing rates are expected. In UK, voting race begins for the next Prime Minister. In the data-front, ficus turn on inflation and Retail sales.
Monday – 17 June 2019
Inflation Report Hearings (GBP, GMT N/A) – The BOE Governor and several MPC members testify on inflation and the economic outlook before the Parliament Treasury Committee.
Tuesday – 18 June 2019
RBA Minutes (AUD, GMT 01:30) – The RBA Minutes are expected to shed some light regarding an eventual rate hike (RBA is cautiously optimistic on growth, inflation).
Consumer Price Index (EUR, GMT 09:00) – Prices are expected to fall in May to just 0.3%m/m from 0.7%, whilst the overall inflation expected to stand unchanged at 1.2%y/y.
ZEW Economic Sentiment (EUR, GMT 09:00) – Economic Sentiment for June is expected to rise slightly at -0.5 compared to -2.1 last month, however the negative reading means pessimists once again outnumber optimists and that escalation in US-Sino trade relations affect the outlook.
Wednesday – 19 June 2019
Consumer Price Index (GBP, GMT 08:30) – Prices are expected to move up in May, with overall inflation to increase at 2.2%y/y, compared to 2.1% y/y last month.
Consumer Price Index and Core (CAD, GMT 12:30) – May CPI is expected to run at a 2.0% y/y pace, matching the 2.0% clip in April and coming in just ahead of the 1.9% clip in March.Hence, the focus is on the "core" CPI figures.
Event of the week – Interest rate Decision and Conference (USD, GMT 18:00) –Fed easing expectations having plateaued (Fed funds futures now fully discounting a 25 bp rate cut by the July FOMC). However, there is not much of a chance for a rate move next week, but the FOMC is anticipated to make an important change in its statement, removing the word "patient" and likely replacing it with language similar to Powell's comment from June 4 where he said the Fed will be "closely monitoring the implications of these developments" on trade and other matters.
Gross Domestic Product (NZD, GMT 22:45) - The Q1 GDP is expected to grow at 0.7% compared to 0.6% last quarter, while at an annualised rate should fall to 1.8% from 2.3%.
Thursday – 20 June 2019
Interest Rate Decision (JPY, GMT 02:00) –The BoJ should maintain its current extraordinary level of stimulus as they wait and see how global growth progresses this year. Hence policy is expected steady once again. Among the core central banks, the BoJ is firmly poised to be "low for longest".
Interest rate Decision and Conference (GBP, GMT 11:00) – BoE should remain on hold now until the Brexit D-day, while the Brexit process has essentially been frozen in motion as the Conservatives go about the business of selecting a new party leader/prime minister. If the transition runs smoothly we could see another 25 bp hike quickly thereafter. The consensus forecasts suggest no change in the policy rate in this meeting and an unchanged 9-0 MPC voting.
Friday – 21 June 2019
Markit Manufacturing PMI (EUR, GMT 07:30) – The Preliminary Manufacturing PMIs in Germany and Eurozone are expected to increase in June, to 44.5 and 48.1 respectively.
Retail Sales and Core (CAD, GMT 12:30) –Canadian sales are expected to slip 1% in April, with a 0.9% gain excluding autos, following a 1.1% figure for the March headline and a 1.7% increase ex-autos.
Markit Manufacturing PMI (USD, GMT 13:45) – The Preliminary Manufacturing and Services PMIs are expected to increase in June, to 52.5 and 53.2 respectively.

WEEKLY XRPUSD ANALYSIS (CONSOLIDATION BEFORE RISE)TECHNICAL:
Currently, the pattern shows we are in Level 1, after being confirmed with a break 0.46 USD Cents zone, and is now consolidating before moving upwards towards the next Peak at 0.48 Cents USD.
There is a possibility that price action might continue to consolidate downwards towards the KETCHUP (13 EMA), however, if it does that, it will most likely PIN the KETCHUP.
In my opinion, the most probable move will consolidate around the MUSTARD (5 EMA) before moving upwards to complete the Level 2 move up to 0.52 cents area.
This is before another consolidation down to the 0.48 Cents area, before a massive push upwards towards 0.58 cents, possibly even towards the $1.00+ zone at a later date.
FUNDAMENTAL:
There are a huge number of reasons why I forecast this... Here are just a few
* XRP is now being adopted and prepared to be used by some of the largest Asian banks. The SEC court case does not have any standing with banks within Asia when interbank transfers occur, outside of the USA or its jurisdictions.
Thus the sheer volume will push market pressure upwards, once the xRapid/xCurrent service is used in the real market.
* COMEX RULE 589
(NO NOTHING TO DO WITH THE 589 EOY 2018 SILLINESS)
Directly affects the price of XRP in this context, as it is rumored that XRP will be linked to the price of gold. Rumor or not, it has affected the market somewhat already and continues to do so.
* GEOMETRY: We are at the start of a Bull Market, as well as market geometry shows we are about to break out of a major triangle, towards the upside. Usually, breakouts of this magnitude (in the Weekly) will produce spectacular gains
TDI shows RSI is also at level 1 position, although we have a current RSI (at time of writing) of 49.82, coming from the lower part of the RSI map, the market has made a particular move which should show a Bounce off the Blood (which is around the same area as the KETCHUP 13 EMA on the chart), in order to complete the Level 1 marker and progress through to the Level 2 move. The move is still currently AFP (Away From Peak), until we get closer to the confirmation peak area, which was previously broken.
As RSI is in the 40s area, we can also expect continued push upwards towards 80 RSI in the coming months. Remember this is a Weekly chart, not an hourly or daily.
Next chart I will post will be the XRP DAILY, to see if we can get some synergy with both and the overall trend.

EURUSD: Weekly Forecast 10th - 14th JuneEURUSD had the biggest gain in 10 months and the price has broken above a 5-month falling channel and closed just above a 3-month supply zone at 1.33.
The reversal of a bearish trend came after the price found support at a 2-year demand zone and consolidated for more than a month.
We can't be certain if this is a major or a temporary reversal but without a doubt, the price is going to climb higher.
If the price retraces at first, look for buy opportunity at 1.13 and the current projection of this bullish trend should at least reach 1.15.
Dollar: Weekly Forecast 10th - 14th JuneThe dollar had the biggest fall in 6-month and the price was seen breaking below the bottom of a 4-month rising channel.
The NFP was very disappointing and a dovish Fed is starting to look at a possible rate cut based on economic data.
This is already a very clear sign of a major reversal and the dollar is actually resisted and falling from a 618 level in the weekly chart.
Following a poor NFP, the dollar is most likely to resume falling in the first 2 trading days.
The immediate supply zone is seen just below 97, with the next one seen at 97.3.
Gold: Weekly Forecast 10th - 14th JuneThe gold has led the longest gain in 3 years and now the price is at an all-time high.
The price has climbed for 7 consecutive days and resistance has been seen rejecting the price from the top of a 35-month symmetrical triangle.
The current wave of a bullish trend was the 2nd and the longest one since the rebound and will likely face with retracement soon.
The first immediate support is seen at 1336 which could lead to the continuation of another higher low and retest the high.
If 1336 fails to hold the price, a major retracement shall begin and first demand zone is seen at 1320.
BTC ON THE WEEKLY Looking at BTC on the weekly we can get a good idea of where the price may head to.
The RSI has been overbought which has not happened since the last bull run.
We should see strong support at 38 fibs
IMO we may head back down to the 50.0 fibs which would line up with the over trend and make for a healthy bounce form there.
ENJOY
Events to Look Out For Next WeekBy Andria Pichidi - June 1, 2019
Trade and geopolitics will continue to dominate the headlines into June along with PM May’s official resignation on Friday. Top of the agenda next week will be the RBA and ECB policy meetings, but a lot of attention will also be on the contemporaneous data on the May US Jobs report, the global PMI outcomes and the European Q1 GDP.
Monday – 03 June 2019
[* ]Caixin Manufacturing PMI (CNY, GMT 01:45) – The Caixin manufacturing PMI is expected to slip into the neutral zone in May, after the weak Manufacturing PMI signalled contraction yesterday.
ISM Manufacturing PMI (USD, GMT 14:00) – The ISM index is expected to rise to 53.5 in May from 52.8 in April, compared to a 14-year high of 61.4 in August. Overall, we’ve seen a stabilization in sentiment since the late-2018 pullback.
Tuesday – 04 June 2019
Retail Sales (AUD, GMT 01:30) – Retail sales are expected to come out lower, standing at 0.2% m/m in April, after drifting to 0.3% increase in March from the 0.9% high in February.
Interest Rate Decision (AUD, GMT 04:30) –A 25 bp reduction to 1.25% is anticipated from the current 1.50% rate setting as the RBA adds accommodation amid a slowing economy and low inflation. The minutes from the early May policy review were dovish-leaning, adding to the expectation that rates will be reduced in June.
Consumer Price Index (EUR, GMT 09:00) – The preliminary Euro Area CPI for May is expected to drop back to 1.4% y/y from 1.7%y/y last month. The core inflation is seen at 1.0% y/y from 1.3% y/y.
Fed’s Chair Powell speech (USD, GMT N/A)
Wednesday – 05 June 2019
Gross Domestic Product (AUD, GMT 01:30) – The Gross Domestic Product figure is probably the most important economic data announcement for a country, closely followed by the unemployment rate. The final Q1 Australian GDP is expected to grow to 0.3% from 0.2%.
ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI (USD, GMT 14:00) – The ISM-NMI index is expected to edge up to 55.7 in April from a 19-month low of 56.1 in March, versus a 13-year high of 60.8 in September.
Thursday – 06 June 2019
Event of the week – ECB Interest Rate Decision (EUR, GMT 11:45) – The ECB is widely expected to keep policy rates on hold at the June council meeting, but the presser is likely to be very dovish, with the guidance on rates likely to be pushed well into 2020. The details on the new TLTRO programme are also due to be released and are likely to be generous, but rate tiering doesn’t seem to be on the agenda for now, as the assessment of the possible side effects on negative interest rates continues.
Friday – 07 June 2019
Event of the Week – Non-Farm Payrolls (USD, GMT 12:30) – Along with Thursday’s employment data, payrolls are important in gauging how many people are employed in non-agricultural businesses. Jobs are expected to have increased in May, at 190k following a 263k increase in April. The unemployment rate should remain steady at 3.6% from April, while average hourly earnings should rise 0.3% m/m, for a y/y gain of 3.2%.
Employment and Unemployment (CAD, GMT 12:30) – After the 106.5k surge in April employment, which notched a new all-time record 1-month gain, the Canadian unemployment rate is expected to have increased further in May.

Gold: Weekly Forecast 3rd - 7th JuneThe gold has made strong gains in the last 2 trading days and finally broke a new high first time in more than 3 months.
Also, this marks the 4th consecutive weekly depreciation for the US stocks, with the most recent week being the weakest week.
With the dollar being rejected and fell from the high and the US stock market continues to plunge, it clearly shows that the gold stands a good chance to climb further.
In this week, the gold is most likely to climb and test the 618 level of the falling wedge.
The price may find some resistance and drop but would most likely be temporary and the price will rise again.
EURUSD: Weekly Forecast 3rd - 7th JuneEURUSD fell through last week but rebounded off strongly at the bottom of the current range at 1.1120.
It is also a second rebound from a previously broken falling trendline.
In this week, we expect the price to continue to climb towards the top of the range near 1.1260.
Dollar: Weekly Forecast 3rd - 7th JuneThe dollar climbed in the first 4 trading days and attempted to break new high above 98.3, only to find itself rejected and plunged.
The strong bearish candle on the last trading day was enough to wipe out all gains.
In this week, it is almost inevitable for the dollar to fall further and will most likely retest the demand zone right below 97.3.
US Dollar Currency Index / W / Weekly Forex Analysis / 6.2.2019Hello Traders, welcome to the Weekly Forex technical analysis. Today is June 2nd, 2019 and we will be taking a look at the U.S. Dollar Currency Index on the weekly chart just to get into the calendar, and have an outlook into the upcoming week. Looking at the Dollar Index here on a weekly time frame, overall the structure still remains pretty bullish as long as were above the 97.465 support and resistance area. We also had the talk of additional tariffs going against Mexico, which could certainly trigger this to move upwards towards the 98.687 resistance area. If we break above the 98.6 area look for the next target area which would be 99.451 support and Resistance zone. If the DXY starts to lose momentum and turn bearish by losing the 97.465 area, we would be looking for a retrace back to the 96.493 region.
EDUCATIONAL Hi Guys,
I hope you've all had a good week and caught some decent pips. The market this week has been one of the worst conditions we have seen in a long time in terms if how slow some of the pairs have been moving and manipulation.
Overall we have still managed to catch over 100+ pips. However, please note that I will stick to mainly posting GBP pairs from now on as you can see from the ideas posted how precise the entries and targets have been.
Next week we should see much more movement and clearer opportunities and hopefully we can continue to kill the market and make some good profit.
Subscribe to my page as you don't want to miss out on the coming weeks.
I would love to know your thoughts in the comments section.
Have a great weekend traders!
Gold: Weekly Forecast 27th - 31st MayThe gold has failed another attempt to break new low and rebounded off strongly which led to a 2-days again.
The strong rebound by a strong bullish candle also shows a second break-above of the 3-month falling wedge.
The price is expected to climb further towards the current supply zone at 1296.
