Forex trading plan for Mar. 19

 

By Kira Iukhtenko

 

US Dollar remains under slight bearish pressure on Wednesday ahead of the Fed's policy announcement. The Fed will likely change its policy statement, opening the way for a rate hike in June. However, we expect the greenback to decline following the meeting as the Fed will highlight the negative economic risks. On Thursday United States are scheduled to release jobless claims, current accout and Philly Fed manufacturing index (forecasts - upbeat). 

 

EUR/USD consolidates slightly above 1.0600 and remains vulnerable to further selloff. The pair is unlikely to overcome the 1.0650/80 resistance area. ECB is scheduled to hold another TLTRO auction on Thursday - the demand is expected to be low. Watch the EU economic summit headlines - we could get some news on the Greek question. 

 

GBP/USD plunged to 1.4630, disappointed by weak UK labor data and dovish BOE minutes. MPC members were focused on the downside risks to economic growth and inflation on the past meeting. They are seriously worried by growing policy divergence between the ECB and the BOE. 

 

On top of that, pay attention to the New Zealand GDP tonight. Swiss National Bank will hold its policy meeting later in the day - we could get some hints on rate hikes planned for the coming months.

Large banks: what to expect from EUR/USD?

 

19 March 2015

 

Despite the change in Fed's forward guidance, the overall tone has become much softer. As a result, we've seen a strong wave of USD selling durring Yellen's press-conference: EUR/USD jumped to 1.1044. The majority of banks' positions were stopped out. 

 

The only bank that stays in EUR/USD is Citi Bank:

 

1) SHORT from 1.1368, TAKE PROFIT 1.0000, STOP LOSS 1.1690 (since Feb. 6)

 

2) SHORT from 1.1430, TAKE PROFIT 1.0400, STOP LOSS 1.1710 (since Feb. 3)

 

Meanwhile, Commerzbank sees the bullish correction limited at 1.1045. They are getting ready to reenter shorts. 

 

RBC Capital Markets are also going to sell in the $1.1050-1.1100 range, targeting parity in the medium term.

Forex trading plan for March 20

 

By Elizaveta Belugina

 

EUR/USD spiked to the downtrend resistance line connecting December highs and levels at the end of February in the area of 1.1045, but failed to sustain the advance. Retest of 1.0500 now looks quite likely. The market’s still bearish on the euro, but in the coming sessions volatility is going to be high, and we may see some attempts to bring the single currency higher, at better levels for selling. Traders are still digesting the results of the Federal Reserve’s meeting and may remain indecisive for some time. Resistance area is at 1.0950/1.1000. Friday will be the second day of the EU economic summit, but no important decisions are expected: the Greek problem will take more time to solve.

 


 

GBP/USD has made a very volatile move to 1.5160 (bottom of the daily Cloud, 50% Fibo). The following selloff halted around 1.4800 and now the pair is consolidating in the 1.4900 zone. Britain will release public sector net borrowing at 09:30 GMT, forecast is negative. Yield spread continues to favor the USD and British labor data this week disappointed. The pair’s vulnerable for decline to 1.4720/00.

 

USD/JPY has touched 119.30 before recovering to 120.80. The Bank of Japan’s meeting minutes will be released early on Friday. This won’t be much of the news because the meeting in question was more than a month ago. The bulls will face resistance at 121.30 and then at 122.00.

 

AUD/USD spiked up, but failed to close above 0.7800 on Wednesday. There’s a band of resistance in the 0.7850/0.7900 area. Support is at 0.7650 and 0.7560; the bearish daily Ichimoku Cloud is still rather thick. Reserve Bank of Australia’s Governor Glenn Stevens will speak during Friday’s Asian session. This week we’ve learned that the RBA has become more dovish at its last meeting, and Stevens may provide some confirmation of this idea.

GBP/USD: forecast for Mar. 23-29

 

By Kira Iukhtenko

 

Less hawkish than expected Federal Reserve failed to support the cable for long. On the weekly chart the pair formed a long-shadowed candle with a small body, but we are closing the week far below the prior 1.4800 support.

 

Dovish BOE meeting minutes limited the sterling’s recovery. MPC members were focused on the downside risks to economic growth and inflation on the past meeting. BOE rate hike expectations shifted to 2016 as a result. On new week watch UK inflation figures on Tuesday. Consumer prices are expected to extend the decline. On Thursday Great Britain will publish February retail sales.

USD/JPY: forecast for March 23-29

 

By Elizaveta Belugina

 

During the past week the advance of USD/JPY halted, and levels above the 122.00 handle were unattainable for the bulls. US dollar tested 119.30 before recovering above 120.50.

 

The pair was driven mainly by the news from the United States about the Federal Reserve’s policy. As the Fed provided a more dovish stance on interest rates, the greenback’s appreciation slowed down. The overall trend for the US currency, however, is still bullish as American economic fundamentals are better than in other advanced economies including Japan.

 

As for the Bank of Japan, it left the policy unchanged in March in line with market’s expectations. On the one hand, Japanese policymakers keep repeating that they will reach the 2% inflation target in the year beginning in April, even if to do this they will have to increase monetary stimulus. At the same time, the minutes of the central bank’s February meeting showed that government officials who were present at the meeting said that there’s no need to hurry with encouraging inflation.

 

The bottom line is that although the medium-term outlook is positive, right now USD/JPY has few drivers for a decisive growth. Note that as we’re getting closer to the end of the month and the end of the fiscal year in Japan, demand for Japanese currency will go up as a result of the profit repatriation by Japanese companies. Next week all eyes will be on the US economic releases, especially inflation figures. Only on Friday there will be a block of economic statistics from Japan including inflation, retail sales & household spending data. Trading will likely be once again taking place in the 120.00/122.00 range.

US Dollar: forecast for Mar. 23-29

 

By Kira Iukhtenko

 

Federal Reserve killed the US dollar rally on Wednesday, lowering economic forecasts and pointing to increased risks. Note that FOMC members’ forecasts for the Fed’s fund rate have been lowered significantly. They now expect rate to reach only 0,62% by the end of the year.

 

Currency market was strongly disappointed and sold the dollar at a fastest daily pace in 6 years. The long-term USd trend still remains bullish, but we see the short-term prospects worsened. USD will likely be trading sideways with a slight bullish tendency until we see a noticeable progress in economic data.

 

On the new week the market will pay attention to the inflation figures on Tuesday. Consumer prices kept on falling for 4 months in a row and are expected to stay in the red zone. On Wednesday watch durable goods orders, while on Friday US will publish its final Q4 GDP.

EUR/USD: forecast for March 23-29

 

By Elizaveta Belugina

 

The past week brought some correction to EUR/USD. The pair spiked from 1.06/1.07 to 1.1045. Such big move was the result of the fact that the euro is seriously oversold.

 

The force driving EUR/USD down has diminished on the US dollar part as the expectations of the Federal Reserve’s rate hike moved from June towards September. At the same time, the predominant point of view is still that the pair will continue its slide to the parity in the medium term as the ECB’s massive quantitative easing program pulls down European bond yields and the euro. It’s clear though that the pace of the decline won’t be as rapid as it was. Traders will be aware of the short covering risk and we’ll see more of the sideways trade in the coming weeks.

 

Next week there will be some news about the state of the euro area’s economy: pay attention to the region’s PMI indexes on Tuesday, German Ifo business climate on Wednesday and German GfK consumer climate on Thursday. Data from the US – inflation figures in particular – will be also very important, because traders will continue adjusting their expectations of the Federal Reserve’s rate hike.

 

The price chart shows that right after EUR/USD tested the 3.5-month resistance line sellers rushed into new short positions and made the pair quickly retrace much of the advance. It suggests that all attempts of the single currency to push higher will likely be rather weak. The area of 1.0950/1.1000 will provide resistance. Support at 1.0500 may hold for a time being. A decisive break lower will send the pair towards 1.0200.

Forex trading plan for Mar. 24

 

By Kira Iukhtenko

 


 

US dollar opened the week under moderate bearish pressure following the last week's sharp selloff. On the past week USD index formed a strong bearish candle, but failed to form a "bearish engulfing". It confirms that the current USD decline is temporary. This week the market attention will be focused on the  US inflation data on Tuesday (12:30 GMT). CPI is expected to come at 0.1% in February - better than in January, but not enough to inspire a fresh USD rally. 

 

EUR/USD recovered above 1.0900 on Monday. Markets await a bunch of PMI indices to be released on Tuesday. The figures are expected to confirm increased optimism due to QE launch in March. If it happens, we'll see EUR/USD recovered up to 1.1500 in the coming days. GBP/USD spent the past week in an extened 1.4635/1.5160 range. Fed and BOE behaved in a similar way, pointing to increased economic risks and delaying rate hike expectations. However, the Fed is still expected to become the first one to raise rates. UK is also expected to release inflation figures tomorrow. Cable clearly remains offered below 1.5000. Break below 1.4800 would increased the pace of sales. 

 

USD/JPY formed a bearish engulfing candle on the past week, descending from 122.00 yen. We turned bearish for the pair following the Fed's meeting. Daily close below 119.80 would trigger a decline to 118.00. AUD/USD and NZD/USD have also gapped higher on Monday. Watch China's HSBC manufacturing PMI tonight - reading above 50 will push the commodity currencies higher from the current levels.

Forex trading plan for March 25

 

By Elizaveta Belugina

 


 

The strength of the US dollar has diminished after the Fed’s meeting last week and comments of the Deputy Governor Fisher. Yet, American inflation figures weren’t as bad as some feared. Core CPI, though low, was a bit above forecasts. On Wednesday the market’s attention will be focused on the durable goods orders release at 12:30 GMT.

 

EUR/USD has approached last week’s high in the 1.1045 area which coincides with the top Bollinger band on H4. The next resistance is at 1.1100. Data from the euro area was marginally better, so consolidation will continue with buyers around 1.0870, 1.0820 and 1.0750. Don’t miss German Ifo business climate index.

 

GBP/USD so far has failed to settle above January low at 1.4950. Inflation data in the UK was lower than expected. The pair lacks momentum and may revisit levels just above 1.4700. Only BBA Mortgage Approvals are due in Britain on Wednesday, not much of a market mover.

 

USD/JPY is below support line of the 3-month uptrend. Daily MACD is declining. Further support is at 119.08/00 and 118.60. Resistance is in the 119.80 area ahead of 120.50. US data is the main driver of the pair.

 

AUD/USD is testing the 0.7900 handle. The pair has breached the downtrend resistance line and entered the bearish daily Ichimoku Cloud. Resistance is at 0.8032 (Jan. 7 low) and 0.8105 (100-day MA). Support is at 0.7850 and 0.7750. The Reserve Bank of Australia will release its Financial Stability Review early on Wednesday.

US Dollar index remains under pressure in the middle of the week, but holds above the Tuesday’s low. Watch the Fed’s member Dennis Lockhart speech on Thursday. In early March he made some hawkish comments. Also watch US unemployment claims on Thursday. Markets await the Friday’s final Q4 GDP – figures are expected to be revised up. That could revive USD demand on the market.

 

Meanwhile, EUR/USD is flirting with the 1.1000 hurdle, trying to fix above the 4-month trend resistance. Market sentiment towards the euro remains quite positive amid better-than-expected figures we’ve seen this week (PMIs, German business climate). On Thursday watch the German consumer sentiment index by Gfk – more positive news could follow. Next bullish target - 1.1100. Break higher would open the way to a stronger resistance at 1.1500.

 

GBP/USD is struggling to recover above 1.4900. Market volatility remains high. Next resistance - 1.4950. Anyway, we remain bearish below the 1.5000 handle. On Thursday don’t miss UK retail sales at 9:30 GMT (forecast – upbeat). US will also release BOE Financial stability report tomorrow.

 

AUD/USD bulls weakened on Wednesday: the pair rolled back below 0.7900. A daily fix above 0.7915 could become a strong bullish signal, while a decisive pullback – a bearish one. We’re waiting for clear signals.

 

USD/JPY still holds above the 100-day MA at 119.20 as we write. We target 118 yen in the coming sessions. Japan will release a bunch of data on Friday night – don’t miss CPI and retail sales.

Forex trading plan for March 27

 


 

US dollar was under pressure on Thursday as oil price went up. The decline in American unemployment claims helped the greenback to stabilize. On Friday the spotlight will be on the US final Q4 GDP (12:30 GMT). According to the consensus forecast, the reading will raised from the second reading of 2.2% to 2.4%. Later there will be speech of the Fed’s Chair Janet Yellen at 19:45 GMT.

 

EUR/USD is trying to push above 1.1000. The US dollar’s weakness has provoked a covering of the massive bearish positions. 200-period MA at 1.1057 is providing resistance at H4 chart. Further obstacle for the bulls will be at 1.1100.

 

USD/JPY is trying to hang at the 100-day MA at 118.70. The pair declined as demand for Japanese yen as a safe haven increased after the news about Saudi Arabia’s military operation against rebels in Yemen. Japan will release inflation & retail sales data during Friday’s Asian session. The Bank of Japan has adopted a wait-and-see stance, so unless we see some surprising changes, the releases won’t have big impact on the yen.

 

GBP/USD approached the psychological 1.5000 mark on better-than-expected retail sales figures, but traders don’t think that the Bank of England will change its policy, so resistance held. In this sense, comments of the central bank’s officials on Friday, including Mark Carney, may be important. As long as 1.5000 holds, the picture will be bearish with the pair leaning on support at 1.4700.
