Good morning traders.
Here are mythoughts/forecasts looking ahead over the next 12-24 hours.
Quote of The Week: Trade what you see not what you think.
Note: the Intra-Day FX Forecastshighlight price direction and likely price targets/stops designed for traderslooking at trading opportunities over the next several hours. These are not official traderecommendations, merely guidelines and forecasts, which are pretty darn usefuleach trading day.
Intra-Day FXForecasts:
- Dollar Index (DXC): Bullish no change from yesterday: full steam ahead after a successful move higher above key Fib resistance last week (97.42). Near-term target seen at 99.45+ as long as prices hold above 98.14
- EUR/USD: Bearish from yesterday, remains valid: the move higher off of Friday's low at 1.0706 is clearly corrective. Prices are testing the minimum Fibonacci resistance level at 1.0792 and price action looks labored. Below 1.0753 suggests a new leg lower towards 1.0700 and lower
- AUD/NZD: Cautiously Bullish using the chart below as the backdrop for my bullish outlook, we simply need to be patient and wait for the Wave (ii) correction to complete.
- EUR/GBP: Bearish last week's spike higher was only in 3-waves and that suggests the move will not be sustained. Prices are already moving lower and a break below .7040 points to lower levels.
- NZD/CAD: Bearish looks like a triangle has developed here over the last few days and it suggests lower levels once complete. As of now I would be looking at a break below .8640 to kick the downside momentum into gear towards .8456 in the days ahead.
