FX weekly: Gaps and trade opportunities
|DXY big breaks this week are located at 106.30, 106.65, 106.79, then 108.30, 108.46, 109.26, 109.42. DXY lows target 105.18 and 105.09. DXY 106.79 becomes most vital as 107.00's fail to register this week. DXY last week 107.81 rose to 108.30.
The DXY information is not only accurate but DXY levels serves to trade every weekly market price on the planet from stocks, commodities, interest rates and any currency. Nothing more is required and we may submit as is.
Economic announcements are located inside the price. Don't surmise what is the level of GDP or NFP when the actual number is located within DXY. Possibly GDP or NFP is located from DXY 106.30 to 106.79 or maybe 105.18 to 106.30. Fed Funds 12 and 25 point daily movements maybe found within the same DXY levels.
The obvious GDP route is enter the 108 numbers for perfect accuracy and 300 numbers or 25 years for NFP averages as NFP was first introduced in February 1939.. Normally 20 and 25 years serves as an accurate NFP forecast to include actual and off snync. The statistical agencies in charge to factor and release economic data forecast anywhere from 3 months to barely 1 and 2 year averages. NFP requires a minimum of 5 years data or 60 months.
EUR/USD
As DXY opposite, EUR/USD levels are located from 1.0351, 1.0316, 1.0271, 1.0235. 1.0199 and 1.0056. EUR/USD trades overbought and a short only strategy for the week to target 1.0253. Last week's target at 1.0215 traded to 1.0354 lows from 1.0446. This week is a continuation short from last week.
EUR/USD traded 226 pips last week Vs DXY 245. This week is expected 170 to 184.
GAP opportunities
Last week Gap opens occurred in AUD/NZD long, AUD/CAD and NZD/CAD short. This week Gap opens include short GBP/CAD, EUR/CAD, AUD/CAD, NZD/CAD. Further opportunities include long CAD/JPY, CAD/CHF, USD/CHF.
Problem pair USD/CAD traded 179 pips last week Vs 375 for GBP/USD. USD/CAD as problem currency lacks ability to trade 1/2 GBP/USD and underperforms to EUR/USD and DXY.
GBP
This week's stars are short overbought GBP/USD, GBP/CAD, GBP/AUD and cautious short to GBP/JPY while no thrills exist to GBP/NZD and GBP/CHF. EUR/NZD is the best currency rather than GBP/NZD.
Overbought GBP/AUD will assist EUR/AUD lower. Watch EUR/AUD 1.5278.
JPY cross pairs
Overbought to GBP/JPY and NZD/JPY while oversold to CAD/JPY and CHF/JPY. EUR/JPY and AUD/JPY at fairly neutral will follow the crowd. Overbought GBP/JPY as leader should assist JPY cross pairs lower on a short only strategy for the week.
USD/JPY weekly levels: 137.81, 139.25, 139.97, 140.69. USD/JPY 140.69 should match to DXY 108.30 and 108.46 and EUR/USD 1.0235.
SPX 500 traded 101 points last week or just shy of 1/2 DXY. Low target this week is located at 3918.
Overall, an average trade week.
