FX weekly — DXY and 14 currency pair levels and targets

Currency markets this week are defined as severely oversold USD and massive overbought non USD as EUR, GBP, AUD and NZD. Oversold USD begins with USD/JPY and USD/CHF. USD/CAD range trades this week and travels higher along with USD but lacks any conception to oversold or overbought.

As written to EM targets on these pages since 2015, USD oversold applies to USD/ EM currencies as USD/BRL, USD/DKK, USD/HUF, USD/RON, USD/PHP, USD/SGD, USD/THB, USD/ZAR.

EM trades week to week are highly selective as uniformity rarely exists unless an overall big move was seen in markets such as USD Inflation. Note missing from the list are favored trades as USD/CZK and USD/PLN.

Absent Currencies as USD/MXN, USD/ INR, USD/SEK,  USD/ NOK, USD/PLN  share an equal oversold reading with EUR counterparts as EUR/MXN, EUR/INR, EUR/SEK, EUR/NOK. EUR/PLN. No trade exists for all currencies because all lack a direction.

Most vital is USD trades oversold across the board and most informative is oversold from low range currencies as USD/PHP, USD/SGD and USD/THB. All rarely trade deeply oversold or overbought but rather trade normal dead ranges.
