USD/TRY Price Analysis: Bulls can't catch a break, yet

  • Bulls not catching a break here as the US dollar crumbles.
  • TRY and emerging FX to benefit from a weaker dollar environment. 
  • Technically, the conditions are, however, somewhat closer to a favourable bullish setup.

In a follow-up to the prior session's analysis, USD/TRY, remains on track for the following setup.

This is despite the weakness in the DXY, a basket of currencies weighted heavily to the euro and a number of other G7-FX currencies.

The price is moving dangerously against the bullish outlook for USD/TRY, for is the US does indeed tend lower, then the emerging market forex will eventually benefit, especially high yielders such as TRY.

The following is the prior day's analysis of DXY t illustrate where this trade set up could all fall down:

Meanwhile, for a recap of the set-up, here were yesterday's analysis:

Weekly chart

At the start of the week, the price was opening bullish and seeking to fill in the wick which gave rise to a potential trading opportunity on the daily chart, as follows:

The upside potential and setup is being monitored on the 4-hour chart, as illustrated in yesterday's analysis as follows:

There was still some work left to do from the bulls for price needs to get above the 21-moving average and MADC needs to be above the zero-line to confirm a bullish price action environment. 

We are inching closer to the setup criteria on Tuesday as follows:

We want to see a clean break to the upside and above the 21-moving average and MACD more positive than this.

Let's see if the price can form some bullish structure in a more favourable environment for where a buy limit order and entry protected by structure and a stop loss can be placed in coming sessions.

USD/JPY bulls pause after hawkish Fed-inspired rally to nearly two-year high

USD/JPY is seen consolidating below its highest level since July 2024, touched the previous day, with intervention fears lending support to the Japanese Yen and capping the upside amid a modest US Dollar downtick. The signing of a US-Iran peace deal to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz undermines the Greenback's reserve-currency status. However, the Fed's projection of a rate increase this year favors USD bulls and should provide a tailwind for the currency pair.

AUD/USD benefits from softer USD as US-Iran deal counters Fed's hawkish tilt

AUD/USD edges higher during the Asian session on Thursday as the US Dollar retreats from its highest level since late March, touched in reaction to the Fed's hawkish tilt the previous day. The US and Iran signed a MoU aimed at ending the war and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, boosting investors' confidence and undermining the safe-haven USD. Furthermore, the RBA's signal that additional rate hikes remain possible, if inflation persists, acts as a tailwind for the Aussie.

Gold scales higher as USD trims post-Fed gains amid US-Iran peace deal

Gold attracts fresh buyers during the Asian session on Thursday, reversing part of the previous day's hawkish Fed-inspired slump to a fresh weekly low. As traders price in the possibility of a Fed rate hike this year, the signing of a US-Iran peace deal – to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz – drags the safe-haven US Dollar away from its highest level since late March. This offers some support to the bullion, though the overnight failure near the 200-day SMA warrants caution for bulls.

Why a hawkish RBA is no longer enough to lift the Australian Dollar

The Reserve Bank of Australia delivered more than what markets expected: a hawkish hold that should have supported the Aussie. But markets widely ignored it, focusing instead on slowing economic growth and proving that central bank messaging alone isn’t always enough to drive currencies.
