Intra-Day FX Forecasts

Dave Floyd Aspen Trading Group

Good morning traders. Here are my thoughts for the next 12-24 hours.

Intra-Day FX Forecasts:

Dollar Index (DXC): Cautiously Bullish as noted last week, the 96.70 level is pretty key (June 23rd high) and as of now, prices have pushed higher above that level. Price action is pretty labored and choppy, so if you are looking to intra-day/short-term trade USD pairs, it is likely not going to be the easiest thing to do. Nonetheless, don't fight the trend.
USD/CHF: Cautiously Bullish prices continue to move higher in a pretty labored manner higher. However, they are slowly making headway. Note yesterday's 'Action' below in BLUE.
- Action: a push above .9905-.9910 should allow for a pop higher towards .9950
EUR/GBP: Cautiously Bullish sideways chop (triangle) since the July 14th lows suggests a pop higher.
- Action: consider getting long on a break above .8430
USD/NOK: Cautiously Bullish lower oil prices and higher DXC = higher USD/NOK.
- Action: a push above 8.5950 should allow for prices to expand higher towards 8.7000
GBP/USD: Cautiously Bullish no change from yesterday: DXC is poised to move higher, but any pair can deviate at times, GBP/USD appears to be this time. The push above 1.3165 points towards 1.3300. The logic is based on the 4-hour chart. A 5-wave move higher off the July 5th low and the subsequent correction lower, suggests one more move higher.
AUD/USD: Neutral to Bearish the rally off the July 22nd lows would appear to be a correction. From yesterday: The Fib Resistance Zone (FRZ) at .7532-.7587 should be where prices stall and begin to roll over and head lower. This has in fact played out, look for a break below .7440 to keep the downside momentum going towards .7400

EUR/USD climbs to daily highs on US CPI

EUR/USD now accelerates it rebound and flirts with the 1.1880 zone on Friday, or daily highs, all in response to renewed selling pressure on the US Dollar. In the meantime, US inflation figures showed the headline CPI rose less than expected in January, removing some tailwinds from the Greenback’s momentum.

GBP/USD clings to gains above 1.3600

GBP/USD reverses three consecutive daily pullbacks on Friday, hovering around the low-1.3600s on the back of the vacillating performance of the Greenback in the wake of the release of US CPI prints in January. Earlier in the day, the BoE’s Pill suggested that UK inflation could settle around 2.5%, above the bank’s goal.

Gold: Upside remains capped by $5,000

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked retracement, as bargain-hunters seem to have stepped in. The precious metal’s upside, however, appears limited amid the slightly better tone in the US Dollar after US inflation data saw the CPI rise less than estimated at the beginning of the year.

US CPI data set to show modest inflation cooling as markets price in a more hawkish Fed

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics will publish January’s Consumer Price Index data on Friday, delayed by the brief and partial United States government shutdown. The report is expected to show that inflationary pressures eased modestly but also remained above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target.

The weekender: When software turns the blade on itself

Autonomous AI does not just threaten trucking companies and call centers. It challenges the cognitive toll booths that legacy software has charged for decades. This is not a forecast. No one truly knows the end state of AI.

Solana Price Forecast: Mixed market sentiment caps recovery

Solana (SOL) is trading at $79 as of Friday, following a correction of over 9% so far this week. On-chain and derivatives data indicates mixed sentiment among traders, further limiting the chances of a price recovery.
