As we gear up towards a new week, volatility remains high across major markets, and bracing for the incoming Fed rate policy decision.
With this in mind, I have discussed in Weekly Market Outlook: Forex, Stock Indices & Gold Trading Scenarios, where I'll break down the key technical levels to look for opportunities across major instruments.
What you’ll find in this week’s gameplan:
Forex majors (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, etc.)
- Dollar direction ahead of the Fed.
- Key support/resistance and liquidity levels.
- Bullish and bearish price action scenarios.
Indices (Nasdaq 100, Dow Jones, S&P 500)
- Market structure post-CPI & pre-FOMC.
- Breakout vs reversal scenarios.
Gold (XAU/USD)
- Safe-haven flows vs Fed policy tension.
- Can $3,500 break, or is a retracement due?
- Technical outlook with both bullish and bearish pathways.
Whether you’re a day trader looking for intraday setups or a swing trader focused on macro-technical alignment, this weekly breakdown will help you prepare with clarity and structure.
Let’s dive in, starting with the U.S. dollar and its ripple effects across the board.
