Daily Forecast - 20 October 2017

EURUSD & USDCAD Spot

EURUSD holding above 1.1790/1.1800 targets last week's high at 1.1870/80. If you try shorts here, use stops above 1.1900. A sustained break above 1.1900 kills any potential negative pattern & acts as a buy signal targeting 1.1930, 1.1980 & 1.2010. Failure to beat 1.1870/80 risks a slide to support at 1.1800/1.1790. Try longs with stops below 1.1765. Failure however retargets 1.1750/45 & 1.1734. Further losses certainly possible to 1.1715/11 before the mega important support at 1.1680/70. A break below here completes the negative head & shoulders pattern for a significant longer term sell signal.

USDCAD first support at 1.2470/60 is key to direction. Holding here keeps bulls in control targeting minor resistance at 1.2500 then 1.2540 before the 1.2590/97 recovery high. A break above 1.2610 is a buy signal targeting 1.2670/80. Longs at 1.2470/60 need stops below 1.2430. Be ready to sell a break lower targeting 1.2395/85 & perhaps as far as 1.2330/25. Eventually we could reach 1.2265/60 at the start of next week.

GBPUSD & GBPJPY Spot

GBPUSD minor resistance at 1.3215/20 but above targets stronger resistance at 1.3260/65. If you try shorts use stops above 1.3290. A break higher targets very strong resistance at 1.3340/50. Above here therefore is a buy signal seeing 1.3350/40 act as strong support targeting 1.3415 & 1.3445/50 before trend line resistance at 1.3475/80. Strong support at 1.3145/40 holding so far this week but a break today targets 1.3120/16 then 1.3092/90 & perhaps as far as the October low at 1.3030/25.

GBPJPY sideways for 2 weeks. First resistance at 148.45/50 but above here targets 148.80/85 & perhaps as far as resistance at 149.30/40. Watch for a high for the day again. However shorts need stops above 149.80 to target 150.15/20 & 150.50/60. First support at 147.85/75 but below here targets 147.45/40 & the recent low at 147.00/146.90.

Gold surges past the $5,000 psychological mark during the Asian session on Monday in reaction to the weekend data, showing that the People's Bank of China extended its buying spree for a 15th month in January.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple consolidate after massive sell-off

Weekly column: Saturn-Neptune and the end of the Dollar’s 15-year bull cycle

Tariffs are not only inflationary for a nation but also risk undermining the trust and credibility that go hand in hand with the responsibility of being the leading nation in the free world and controlling the world’s reserve currency.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple consolidate after massive sell-off

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple prices consolidated on Monday after correcting by nearly 9%, 8%, and 10% in the previous week, respectively.
