Forecast for EUR/USD on June 11, 2020

EUR/USD
Yesterday, the Federal Reserve announced its forecasts for the economy: GDP at 6.5% for 2020, and 5.0% for 2021, inflation forecast for this year was 0.8%, and 1.6% for the future. The regulator expects an unemployment rate of 9.3% this year and 6.5% in the year 2021. The dollar index lost 0.32%, while the euro grew by 33 points. The only forecast of the Fed which raises a clear doubt, is the forecast for inflation. The release of huge money supply into the open market in the framework of combating the epidemic and supporting the unemployed population cannot but cause much stronger inflation. Very soon, the Fed will be forced to raise rates even contrary to an earlier promise not to do so before the end of the year. However, for the remaining six months, you can still manipulate statistics so that this is not very obvious, and shift the focus from developing inflation to employment problems. As a result, the euro is unlikely to continue to strengthen on yesterday's data from the Fed, investors understand the unreliability of these forecasts.

The euro is staying in the range of target levels 1.1322-1.1416. According to the Marlin oscillator, a small divergence forms on the daily chart, but this can become a reversal signal.

Divergence is more pronounced on the four-hour chart. Consolidating the price under 1.1322, which will also correspond to the price falling below the MACD line (it is going up), opens the underlying consecutive goals: 1.1265, 1.1200, 1.1125.

Consolidating the price over 1.1416 may extend the current branch to 1.1495.

Control zones for USD/CAD on June 12, 2020

The bullish movement of the quotes yesterday was 300 pips, which indicates the strength of the buyers. Any fall of the pair should be considered as an opportunity to enter buy positions, since the probability of updating the weekly high is 75%, which makes long positions profitable.

The most favorable levels for buy positions are within the limits of the WCZ 1/2 1.3524-1.3509, a test of which will be decisive for the bullish impulse.

Today, the pair is trading within the average weekly move, which increases the likelihood of a downward correction. The fall will occur against yesterday's strong movement, so entering sell positions is quite risky. Instead, use the drop as an opportunity to find a favorable level for buy positions in the trading instrument.

Daily CZ - daily control zone. The area formed by important data from the futures market, which changes several times a year.
Weekly CZ - weekly control zone. The area formed by the important marks of the futures market, which changes several times a year.

Forecast for EUR/USD on June 15, 2020

EUR/USD
The euro fell by 42 points last Friday. It did not reach the target level of 1.1200 by 13 points, we are waiting for its development in the near future and only after that a local correction in the range of 1.1200/65. A small divergence on the Marlin oscillator continues to remain in force. Overcoming the price level of 1.2000 will allow the price to fall even deeper, to the price channel line in the region of 1.1120.

The price is developing under the indicator lines of balance and MACD on the four-hour chart, the price is kept below the level of 1.1265. The signal line of the Marlin oscillator is falling within its own channel, from the lower border of which it has turned up, which indicates that the price will likely fall only in the evening.

Forecast for AUD/USD on June 16, 2020

AUD/USD
Yesterday evening, the aggressive growth of the US dollar due to the Federal Reserve's statement about the intention to buy corporate bonds from the secondary market pushed the Australian currency up, it ended the day above a strong technical level of 0.6900. The Marlin oscillator is growing; formally, the target 0.7080 is open before the price.

Considering the situation on a smaller four-hour chart indicates the presence of an alternative scenario that has a high probability of implementation - a price reversal from current levels, from the notched MACD line (indicator blue). The Marlin oscillator in the zone of positive values. Price taking above yesterday's high will still launch the first scenario with an increase to 0.7080. We are waiting for the development of the situation.

Technical Analysis of GBP/USD for June 17, 2020:

Technical Market Outlook:
The GBP/USD price moved towards the 61% Fibonacci retracement located at the level of 1.2674, but bulls was not strong enough to break through it and the price reversed. The market conditions are now bouncing from the oversold levels, so the bulls might risk another wave up from the current levels towards the nearest technical resistance seen at the level of 1.2747. Nevertheless, they have to violate the level of 1.2674 first. The immediate technical support is seen at the level of 1.2645.

WR2 - 1.2910
WR1 - 1.2681
Weekly Pivot - 1.2581
WS1 - 1.2343
WS2 - 1.2226
WS3 - 1.2014

The key long-term technical resistance is seen at the level of 1.3518. Only if one of these levels is clearly violated, the main trend might reverse (1.3518) or accelerate (1.1404). The market might have done a Double Top pattern at the level of 1.2645, so the price might move lower in the longer-term.

The yen strengthened by 30 points on Wednesday due to lower stock indices, which looks like a decrease in the USD/JPY pair on the chart.

Forecast for EUR/USD on June 22, 2020

EUR/USD
Last Friday, buyers of the dollar managed to restrain the onslaught of the euro bulls and keep the single currency in a downward local trend of the last ten days. The signal line of the Marlin oscillator on the daily chart has penetrated the territory of the bears, now it is easier for the market trend to reach the target along the embedded line of the price channel of 1.1115. Overcoming this support opens the second target of 1.1010.

The four-hour chart shows that the euro's growth in the first half of the day was restrained by the balance indicator line, that is, the growth occurred in the framework of the general decreasing trend, which strengthens this trend itself. Now in the struggle of the local trend with convergence, the Marlin oscillator has a higher chance of winning the trend. We are waiting for the price at 1.1115.

Technical Analysis of EUR/USD for June 23, 2020:

Technical Market Outlook:
The EUR/USD pair has tested the lower level of the support range located at 1.1185 and bounced towards the short-term trend line resistance located around the level of 1.1265. The oversold market conditions might help the bulls to test the nearest technical resistance, but they must break through the short-term trend line resistance in order to regain the control over the market. Any violation of the level of 1.1148 will accelerate the sell-off towards the next technical support seen at 1.0009. So, it is important for bulls to defend this level, but only a sustained violation of the short-term trend line resistance would put them back into control (around the level of 1.1300).

Weekly Pivot Points:
WR3 - 1.1456
WR2 - 1.1397
WR1 - 1.1266
Weekly Pivot - 1.1215
WS1 - 1.1074
WS2 - 1.1031
WS3 - 1.0903

Trading Recommendations:
On the EUR/USD pair, the main long-term trend is down, but the local up trend continues. The key long-term technical support is seen at the level of 1.0336 and the key long-term technical resistance is seen at the level of 1.1540. Only if one of this levels is clearly violated, the main trend might reverse (1.1540) or accelerate (1.0336).

Forecast for EUR/USD on June 24, 2020

EUR/USD
The euro grew by 48 points on Tuesday, almost consolidating itself above the target level of 1.1265 after a reversal of the Marlin oscillator signal line from the zero border line dividing the decline zone from the oscillator growth zone, indicating the prospect of a market trend. The next target of 1.1385 is formally open, but it may not be achieved, which can be seen when considering the situation on a smaller timeframe.

Marlin's signal line went beyond the upper boundary of its own channel on the H4, but soon returned to it. This is already a sign of the falsity of the past price spike. And here two scenarios are possible: a slower growth of the euro in the range of 1.1353/85 with a divergence forming according to Marlin, and a reversal of the euro down without reaching 1.1353 (the June 16 high), practically from current levels. The first signal for this is the price drift under the MACD line (1.1295).

Thus, it is late and unreliable to buy the euro, and early to sell. We are waiting for the resolution of the situation.

Control zones for USD/CAD on June 26, 2020

The main direction of the USD / CAD pair is upward, so buy positions are currently the most profitable in the medium term. The nearest resistance is the monthly control zone in June, the lower border of which is located at the highs of last week. This increases the likelihood of a stunt in the coming days.

The next target area is the WCZ 1/2 1.3783-1.3767, so part of the positions may be left in the hopes of its test. However, a fall and continued formation of the accumulation zone will occur, if an "absorption" pattern forms today in the daily chart. The closing of weekly trades will be the new starting point for both upward and downward patterns.

Daily CZ - daily control zone. The area formed by important data from the futures market, which changes several times a year.
Weekly CZ - weekly control zone. The area formed by the important marks of the futures market, which changes several times a year.
Monthly CZ - monthly control zone. The area that reflects the average volatility over the past year.

Forecast for EUR/USD on July 7, 2020

EUR/USD
The euro broke the resistance of the target level of 1.1265 on Monday, showing a growth of 61 points. The price peaked on June 23. After overcoming the intermediate level of 1.1353, we expect the growth to continue to 1.1420, the second goal is 1.1465. Reaching any of these levels with the Marlin oscillator will form a technical divergence, which will become a reversal signal. Perhaps a medium-term downward trend.

The price is firmly held above both indicator lines on the four-hour chart – the balance line (red) and the MACD line (blue). The Marlin oscillator is in the growth zone. We are waiting for the euro to grow to the designated goal of 1.1420.

Forecast for EUR/USD on July 9, 2020

EUR/USD The euro confirmed its intention to form a new local high yesterday, above June 10 at 1.1420, and thereby form a divergence with the Marlin oscillator. The signal line of this indicator entered the positive trend zone. We are waiting for the price in the target range of 1.1420/65. Overcoming it can raise the price even higher, to the target level of 1.1560.

The price is gathering new strength before taking the intermediate level of 1.1353 on the four-hour chart. The Marlin oscillator turned around from the border with the territory of the bears, the growth of Marlin is strong, the price is higher than the balance and MACD indicator lines. Most likely the resistance will be overcome.

Forecast for EUR/USD on July 13, 2020

EUR/USD
The euro closed Friday with growth. The price found strong support at 1.1265. The growth continues this morning, the Marlin oscillator is in a hurry to move to the growth zone – in the upper half of its own window. The divergence option, in which the euro will show a new high (1.1465), is gaining more and more strength.

The price overcomes the signal level of 1.1315 on the four-hour chart, the Marlin oscillator moved to the growing trend zone, and the nearest growth target is the level of 1.1353. Overcoming the level opens the way to 1.1420, then to 1.1465. The recently formed divergence is considered fulfilled, the price has taken a course for a new short-term trend.

Forecast for EUR/USD on July 14, 2020

EUR/USD
The euro showed the expected growth on Monday, but the structure of this growth was tricky, there was a potential for the price to turn down, in a deep correction, for example, to the target level of 1.1195. This warning signal is weak on the daily chart. This is the probability of a reversal of the signal line of the Marlin oscillator from the border of the growth territory. Consolidating the price above yesterday's high will continue to develop in the market according to the main scenario – the euro's growth in the target range of 1.1420/65 with a divergence forming on Marlin.

The risk of a downward price reversal is stronger on the four-hour chart - this is a double divergence on the Marlin oscillator. Leaving the price below 1.1265 opens the remaining path to 1.1195. After falling below this level, the price will face a difficult task of reaching the target level of 1.1010 – it will face both difficult supports and weak dynamics on the discharged oscillators.

Technical Analysis of GBP/USD for July 15, 2020:

Technical Market Outlook:

After the GBP/USD pair had made a Double Top price pattern at the level of 1.2668, the bears have managed to push the prices towards the level of 1.2484 which is the key short-term technical support for the market. The price has bounced from support, but no new high was made yet ( the local high was made at the level of 1.2586. The bulls might try to test the trend line from below, but this move would require more momentum in order to get to the level of 1.2640. The RSI indicator shows the momentum is neutral, so neither bulls not bears are in control of the market (on the short-term time frame like H4). Any violation of the level of 1.2466 will accelerate the sell-off towards the next technical support seen at the level of 1.2406.

Control zones for AUDUSD on 07/17/2020

Previously opened purchases must be kept. The first goal for growth is to renew weekly and monthly highs. It is important to understand that a reversal model will only form in case closing of trades occur below the WCZ 1/2 0.6949-0.6940. Until this happens, buying is the best strategy. Yesterday's decline made it possible for us to get favorable prices to open a long position.

Closing today's trading above the week's local high will make it possible for us to talk about growth lasting until next week.

Testing the WCZ 1/2 0.6949-0.6940 will be required to obtain more favorable prices for purchasing the instrument.

Technical Analysis of GBP/USD for July 20, 2020:

Technical Market Outlook:
The GBP/USD pair has been seen trading inside of the narrow consolidation zone located between the levels of 1.2482 - 1.2668 for all the last week and nothing has changed yet. The volatility has decreased and the momentum is hovering around the level of fifty, so no clues from this indicator either. Only a sustained breakout above of below certain level can provide a clue regarding the next market move.

Weekly Pivot Points:
WR3 - 1.2834
WR2 - 1.2735
WR1 - 1.2648
Weekly Pivot - 1.2555
WS1 - 1.2463
WS2 - 1.2373
WS3 - 1.2271

Trading Recommendations:
On the GBP/USD pair the main trend is down, which can be confirmed by the down candles on the weekly time frame chart. The key long-term technical support has been recently violated (1.1983) and the new one is seen at the level of 1.1404. The key long-term technical resistance is seen at the level of 1.3518. Only if one of these levels is clearly violated, the main trend might reverse (1.3518) or accelerate (1.1404). The market might have done a Double Top pattern at the level of 1.2645, so the price might move even lower in the longer-term.

Technical Analysis of BTC/USD for July 21, 2020:

Crypto Industry News:
The underground of the Internet, or darknet, is that part of the web that is beyond the reach of traditional browsers and search engines. There are tons of digital markets in this network where all kinds of illegal goods are traded and paid for with cryptocurrencies.

In a State of Crypto Crimes report released earlier this year, blockchain analyst Chainalysis investigated crimes committed using cryptography, among them darknet transactions, which were the most consistent. In 2019, revenues from online underground markets hit a new record of $ 790 million.

While indicators on all financial fronts for these markets are rising, one aspect that remains much more consistent is the choice of cryptocurrency.

"The most popular cryptocurrency used by the darknet is Bitcoin," said Kim Grauer, head of research, and Carles Lopez-Penalver, senior cybercrime analyst at Chainlysis.

Among the altcoins used are Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Monero. Even though only one of the three cryptos listed above has privacy features, the popular altcoins are widely used. However, some markets have seen exclusive use of Monero because of its encrypted web features, Chainalysis management said.

Altcoins are even more distant as operations grow in size and scale. According to Bitfury's Crystal Blockchain report, in the first quarter of 2020, darknet entities received more than $ 384 million in Bitcoin and more than $ 411 million was sent, where the recipients of these transactions are exchanges divided between those that have verification requirements and those that do not.

Unlike high-value Bitcoin transactions, Grauer and Lopez-Penalver added that altcoins are only used for smaller darknet transactions.

Technical Market Outlook:
The BTC/USD pair has been trading around the 38% Fibonacci retracement of the last wave down that is located at the level of $9,157. The bears had pushed the price down from the local high made at the level of $9,201, but the price did not come back under the short-term trend line. The momentum remains neutral which indicates another sideways day. The next targets for bulls are seen at the levels of $9,209 and $9,261. The nearest technical support is located at $9,095.

Weekly Pivot Points:
WR3 - $9,569
WR2 - $9,411
WR1 - $9,271
Weekly Pivot - $9,117
WS1 - $8,968
WS2 - $8,812
WS3 - $8,862

Trading Recommendations:
The volatility on Bitcoin has been subdued for more than two months now, so the larger time frame trend remains down and as long as the level of $10,791 is not violated, all rallies will be treated as a counter-trend corrective moves. This is why the short positions are now more preferred until the level of $10,791 is clearly violated. The key mid-term technical support is located at the level of $7,897.

Forecast for EUR/USD on July 22, 2020

EUR/USD The euro rose by 78 points yesterday due to information that the 750 billion euro fund for the EU's recovery from coronavirus has finally been created. The momentum that the euro received could still grow towards the yet-to-be-reached target of 1.1560, possibly to 1.1620, but along with the fading news itself and local market overheating, which is signaled by the Marlin oscillator forming a divergence with the price, a subsequent reversal of the euro down into the range of 1.195-1.1265 is likely.

The price is growing above the balance and MACD lines on the H4 chart, the Marlin oscillator is actively growing and is close to overbought.

The current situation in the euro is such that it is no longer advisable to buy, and too early to sell. Even if we assume the option with a further medium-term rise of the single currency, it is better to wait for the price to pull back, which will occur, at least, in the range of 1.1420/65.

Forecast for EUR/USD on July 28, 2020

EUR/USD
The euro decided to play its role to the end. Yesterday the price exceeded the target level of 1.1735, closing the day by gaining 96 points. Now the price should reach the upper border of the price channel around 1.1800. With the price level and the Marlin oscillator developing, divergence persists, respectively, we are waiting for the price to reverse down in the medium term. The timing may coincide that a reversal from such a key level will occur tomorrow, that is, on the day of the Federal Reserve's announcement of its decision on monetary policy.

The oscillator shows a timid attempt to reverse against the rising price on the four-hour chart. This could be noise, or it could be warning a reversal. But since the Fed announces its decision tomorrow, the situation will be resolved on Wednesday.

The main issue that concerns investors is the Fed's intention to target the yield curve for government bonds. If they hint that this is not necessary, the dollar will get a fresh dose of optimistic mood.

Control zones for USDCAD on 07/29/20

The fall of the pair is a priority, so keeping sales will be beneficial. The 1.3314 level is within the average daily move, which is the June low. A test of this level will increase the likelihood of a large demand.

It is important to note that the June low coincides with WCZ 1/2 1.3322-1.3310. This indicates the importance of the range for making trading decisions.

An alternative pattern of continuing the fall will develop if the close of today's trading occurs below 1.3314. This will increase the likelihood of the Canadian dollar strengthening even further

Daily CZ - daily control zone. The area formed by important data from the futures market, which changes several times a year.

Weekly CZ - weekly control zone. The zone formed by important marks of the futures market, which changes several times a year.

Forecast for EUR/USD on July 30, 2020

EUR/USD
Yesterday, the euro fulfilled its irresistible and inextinguishable desire to work out the border of the global price channel at around 1.1804. This channel originates from the July 2008 high. The price begins to form a divergence with the Marlin Oscillator. The first target of the decline is 1.1620.

The Marlin divergence looks unambiguous on the four-hour chart, and it was created twice in a row. We are waiting for the price to move to the target level of 1.1620. On the way to it, the price will face an obstacle in the form of the MACD line in the area of 1.1686.

Forecast for EUR/USD on July 31, 2020

EUR/USD
US President Donald Trump threw a bit of confusion into the markets by proposing to postpone the presidential vote from November 3 to a later date on the grounds that he believes too many voters have started voting by mail. Later, Trump abandoned the idea of postponing the elections, but the markets worked out the "joke": S&P 500 -0.38%, euro +56 points.

Yesterday's growth has seriously changed the technical picture of the euro. First of all, the price went beyond the upper border of the global price channel, built on the highs of July 2008 and May 2014. Now this channel does not exist; instead, after creating a new peak, a new one will form.

Yesterday's trading volume was not lower than the volumes of the last four days. This confirms the strength of the given momentum, now the growth target is the 1.2040/55 range. The reference point for the goal is the low of July 2017. The chances of forming a divergence between the price and the Marlin oscillator are already small, although this option is possible. This creates its own risks for opening new longs for the pair.

The situation is completely upward on the H4 chart: the Marlin oscillator is moving up, the price is above the indicator lines. Growth in the target range of 1.2040/55 is possible even after a pullback. Safe for growth, the price may pull back to the 1.1806 level - to the July 29 high. Consolidating below the level, but even more reliable, consolidating under the MACD line, will mean the end of local growth.

The momentum is neutral and the market is coming off the overbought conditions, so the next target for bears is seen at the level of 1.1655 - 1.1629.

Forecast for AUD/USD on August 4, 2020

AUD/USD
The Australian dollar nearly hit its first bearish target of 0.7070 on Monday. And since the technical situation is still decreasing, even intensified somewhat, today we expect the price to attack support at 0.7070. Success will contribute to further decline to the target level of 0.6970, which was approached by the MACD indicator line. Thus, the level acquires strategic importance - breaking it will trigger a mid-term decline of the aussie": the target is 0.6570 - the high on April 30.

The price is developing under the balance and MACD indicator lines on the four-hour chart, Marlin in the downward trend zone. There are no signs of a reversal, we are waiting for the price to try to gain a foothold below the 0.7070 level.

Technical Analysis of ETH/USD for August 6, 2020:

Crypto Industry Outlook:
The launch of the Ethereum Medalla test network, scheduled for 1pm, did not go as smoothly as expected. While the network was successfully launched and offered a sufficient number of blocks at its supposed time of construction, the participation rate was only 57% - well below the expected 80%.

This means that only 57% of the rate is implemented for network validation. This is a serious problem because block finality cannot be achieved until the network starts cutting off validators that are offline. Finality means that the block history is irreversible, which is equivalent to the block confirmation threshold in Ethereum 1.0. According to the developers, this could be because many validators signed up by paying 32 ETH without running the validation software. However, customer issues with Nimbus and Lodestar could account for around 10% of that participation gap, said Danny Ryan of the Ethereum Foundation.

The network is expected to fix the problem on its own as inactive validators are kicked out, however it may take at least several hours to restore the finality. Meanwhile, developers investigate customer issues.

Technical Market Outlook:
The ETH/USD pair has broken out from the narrow range located between the levels of $379.59 - $392.79 and made a new local high at the level of $407.03. For now the price is trading close to the recent ATH, around the level of $400 again and the up trend is still being continued. The next target for bulls is seen at the level of $414 and $425.25. The key short-term support is seen at the level of $300. The momentum is still strong and positive, which supports the short-term bullish outlook.

Weekly Pivot Points:
WR3 - $532.98
WR2 - $470.84
WR1 - $423.16
Weekly Pivot - $365.99
WS1 - $312.04
WS2 - $255.55
WS3 - $208.47

Trading Recommendations:
Due to the violation of the level of $351, Ethereum is now in the up trend on the long-term time frame. The next target for bulls is seen at the level of $500. The key long-term technical support is located at the level of $86.10, but the zone around $300 - $308 is an important technical support as well.
