USDCHF, Day | React off Resistance level?

The USD/CHF chart is displaying a strong downward trend, indicating bearish momentum.

With this bearish view, there's a possibility of a negative price reaction near the first resistance level, potentially leading to a decline towards the first support level.

The significance of the initial support at 0.8558 is due to its role as a support level marked by multiple swing lows. Also, a secondary support at 0.8312 adds to the overall support structure.

Conversely, the primary resistance level at 0.8769 is notable for aligning with a resistance point observed in earlier data.

Furthermore, a secondary resistance at 0.8902 is recognized as a potential pullback point, potentially introducing resistance against upward movement.

Forecast of USD/JPY on August 15, 2023

USD/JPY The USD/JPY pair is approaching the target level of 145.90. The Marlin oscillator is gradually turning downwards on the daily chart, indicating a correction towards the nearest support level at 144.73. If the pair surpasses this mark, the next corrective target would be the MACD line at 143.97.

If the price consolidates above 145.90, the pair might continue to rise to the nearest resistance of the global hyperchannel around the 147.90 mark. Beyond this level lies the 148.50 target. The bulls will probably aim for the 147.90-148.50 range next.

The shorter timeframe shows us that the MACD line is approaching the support line of 144.73. This fact certainly supports the uptrend, reducing the risk of a deep correction. However, the Marlin oscillator, being a leading indicator, is not growing but gradually decreasing. We expect traders to struggle at the 144.73 level.

Forecast for EUR/USD on August 16, 2023

EUR/USD Yesterday's performance was structurally similar to August 10th – a high upper shadow stopped by resistance. This time, the MACD line provided resistance.

At the end of the day, the euro settled below this line and below the target level of 1.0924. Now the target is the support level of 1.0865. Consolidating below this level opens the target range of 1.0761/88. It looks like the stock market is already going into a medium- or long-term decline – we never got the expected corrective spike in quotes.

On the four-hour chart, the price also settled below the MACD line. The Marlin oscillator is descending in the downtrend territory.

Trading plan for GBP/USD on August 23. Simple tips for beginners

Analyzing Tuesday's trades: GBP/USD on 30M chart

The GBP/USD pair showed quite an interesting downward movement on Tuesday. It retreated after testing the upper band of the sideways channel, in which it has been trading in for over three weeks. The chart above clearly shows what we mean. Thus, despite quite an interesting movement during the day (which was not provoked by a macroeconomic or fundamental background), the pair stayed within the sideways channel, meaning that the flat persists. We already mentioned this – no matter what movements we see, the pair is still moving sideways.

On Tuesday, there was nothing interesting about the economic calendar. One report in the US and a speech by a Federal Reserve official. Even if these events had a slim chance of affecting the market, they certainly aren't the reason for the dollar's growth. Since the upper band of the channel has been tested again, so now we can expect the pair to fall to the 1.2620 level.

GBP/USD on 5M chart
Two trading signals were formed on the 5-minute chart. During the European session, the pair hovered around the 1.2787-1.2791 area for several hours, afterwards it finally rebounded from it, forming a sell signal. Subsequently, the price successfully breached the 1.2748 level at its first attempt and there were no more signals for the rest of the day. Therefore, the short position should have been closed manually towards the evening, with a profit of no less than 40 pips, which is quite good given that volatility was 80 points.

Trading tips on Wednesday:

On the 30-minute chart, the GBP/USD pair continues to move in a sideways channel. We still expect the pound to fall, as we still believe it is overbought and unreasonably expensive. However, the market has taken a break for now, so either trade within the sideways channel or wait for the flat to end. In the coming days, we can expect the pound to fall by about 100 pips. The key levels on the 5M chart are 1.2499, 1.2538, 1.2605-1.2620, 1.2653, 1.2688, 1.2748, 1.2787-1.2791, 1.2848-1.2860, and 1.2913. Once the price moves 20 pips in the right direction after opening a trade, you can set the stop-loss at breakeven. On Wednesday, PMIs in the services and manufacturing sectors will be published in both the UK and the US. These aren't crucial reports, and they are unlikely to move the pair out of the flat.

Forecast for EUR/USD on August 24, 2023

EUR/USD
Yesterday, the euro broke through the key support level at 1.0834. By the end of the day, the euro had risen by 17 points. The nature of this movement suggests that this breakthrough was false. This morning, the price continues to rise above the 1.0865 level. The Marlin oscillator continues its upward turn. Market participants are concerned that tomorrow, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell will confirm the idea of a strong American economy and hint at another rate hike(possibly by 0.50%).

The concern arises from the fact that seemingly obvious things might be interpreted differently by the Fed itself, implying that there might be no further tightening. Generally, the Jackson Hole conference doesn't discuss specific issues, such as a rate hike in a month or two, so there will be opportunities for speculation in interpreting Powell's words. Considering the increased volatility of the EUR/USD pair, it might reach the target range of 1.0924/42 regardless of the tone set by the Fed chair. The question is about the euro's medium-term perspective.

On the four-hour chart, following the false downward movement, the price returned above the MACD line, and the Marlin oscillator entered the positive territory. An uptrend in the short-term, and the target range of 1.0924/42 is in sight. Consolidating above this range will open up the next target at 1.1012.

EURUSD, H4 | Bounce off support level?

The EUR/USD pair is showing bearish tendencies, emphasized by its movement in a descending channel and its position beneath a bearish Ichimoku cloud, hinting at a possible price reversal. Given these signals, the pair may continue its descent towards the 1st support at 1.0741. This support gains significance from being an overlap support and its alignment with the 161.80% Fibonacci Extension and 100% level. The 2nd support lies at 1.0666, known as a swing low support. If there's an upward shift, the 1st resistance is at 1.0837, marked as an overlap resistance. The 2nd resistance is at 1.0923, another overlap point. In between, an intermediate resistance exists at 1.0802, serving as a pullback resistance.

USDCHF, Day | React off resistance level?

The USD/CHF chart displays a bearish trend within a descending channel, indicating a continued price decline. There's a potential for the price to react bearishly at the 1st resistance of 0.8850, influenced by its overlap resistance classification and Fibonacci confluence with the 50% and 61.80% retracement levels, before moving towards the overlap-supported level at 0.8702. The 2nd resistance at 0.8920, also an overlap resistance, strengthens its significance by aligning with the 61.80% Fibonacci Retracement.

JAPAN JOBLESS RATE RISES TO 2.7% IN JULY

The unemployment rate in Japan came in at a seasonally adjusted 2.7 percent in July, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications said on Tuesday.

That exceeded expectations for 2.5 percent, which would have been unchanged from the June reading.

The jobs-to-applicant ratio ticked down to 1.29, shy of forecasts for 1.30, which again would have been unchanged.

The participation rate was 63.1 percent, matching forecasts and steady from the June level.

This week's pack of US data will decide the dollar's fate

This week, the news backdrop will be much stronger than in the previous one. The lion's share of essential reports will come from America, so I will focus on them in this article. Before delving into the data that could significantly affect the dollar's fate, I should note – the labor market and unemployment reports are currently the most crucial because they, along with inflation, influence when the Federal Reserve will stop raising rates and start lowering them. Reports on GDP or business activity are nowhere near as influential as the aforementioned ones.

Forecast for EUR/USD on August 30, 2023

EUR/USD
On Tuesday, the euro tried to approach the support level of 1.0774, but the bulls held on to their strong positions, and as a result, the euro closed the day above the resistance level of 1.0865. The single currency started the day with a bearish correction, but eventually, it will try to test the resistance at 1.0931, above which the MACD line lies. The Marlin oscillator is also approaching the boundary of the uptrend territory. If the price surpasses 1.0931 concurrently with Marlin moving into the growth territory, the euro might receive another support for growth. Potential bullish targets are: 1.1012, 1.1062, 1.1096. This growth has a corrective nature.

In the US, the JOLTS Jobs Openings slowed to 8.82 million in July, well off the estimate of 9.46 million, and June data was revised downwards from 9.582 million to 9.165 million. In Japan, July unemployment increased from 2.5% to 2.7% (the forecast was for it to remain unchanged). Our assumption about the labor market in the US and worldwide losing steam seems justified. We anticipate weak employment data on Friday and the euro to rise further.

On the four-hour chart, the price has settled above the balance and MACD indicator lines, above the 1.0865 level. The Marlin oscillator has sharply jumped. In such a scenario, the price may consolidate and rise further.

USDCHF, H4 | Bounce off support?

The USD/CHF chart exhibits bullish momentum. Potential rebound from 1st support to 1st resistance. 1st support at 0.8772 and 2nd support at 0.8710 (50% Fibonacci Retracement) are crucial. Conversely, 1st resistance at 0.8825 (61.80% Fibonacci Retracement) resists, and 2nd resistance at 0.8866 signifies multi-swing high resistance. These levels indicate potential price reactions.

Forecast for GBP/USD on September 1, 2023

GBP/USD
As a result of yesterday, the pound fell by 46 points, returning below the 1.2684 level. The signal line of the Marlin oscillator on the daily chart isn't in a hurry to move downwards; on the contrary, it indicates an intent to rise above the zero line.

If the pound realizes this intention, then the pair could rise in the target range of 1.2799-1.2814. Traders across markets are eagerly awaiting today's US employment data for August. If they turn out to be strong, the pound might head towards 1.2547.

On the four-hour chart, the price consolidated below the MACD indicator line, with the Marlin oscillator in a waiting position in the uptrend territory. While waiting for the US data, the price might rise above 1.2684, which would significantly improve the bulls' positions.

Forecast for EUR/USD on September 4, 2023

EUR/USD
The short-term battle of speculators with the release of US employment data ended in favor of the dollar bulls. The dollar index rose by 0.58%, US government bond yields increased (from 4.25% to 4.30% for 5-year bonds), and stock markets closed mixed. The euro lost 66 pips, reaching the target support at 1.0774. Is this a signal or condition for a medium-term decline? At the very least, we need to wait for the price to settle below 1.0774. Next, we need to confirm a confident reversal of the S&P 500. In other words, the initial conditions can only emerge tomorrow. If this doesn't happen, the euro may rise again, attempting to surpass 1.0931 (MACD line).

We currently have a downtrend on the daily chart, so the nearest target is the level of 1.0692. Overcoming this target could result in the pair aiming for the 1.0483-1.0552 range, which includes the descending price channel line and the Fibonacci retracement level.

There is also potential for a bullish scenario, indicated by the emerging convergence between price and the Marlin oscillator.

If the pound realizes this intention, then the pair could rise in the target range of 1.2799-1.2814. Traders across markets are eagerly awaiting today's US employment data for August. If they turn out to be strong, the pound might head towards 1.2547.

On the four-hour chart, the price has paused at the target support of 1.0774. Consolidating below this level will allow the price to reach the target at 1.0692, but the euro can only reach this level if the stock market remains weak.

Forex Analysis & Reviews: Forecast for EUR/USD on September 5, 2023

EUR/USD Yesterday, the euro gained 19 pips despite a relatively muted day. From a technical perspective, the situation has not changed. A close below 1.0774 would pave the way for the bears to reach 1.0692. However, there is a nuance here – it could break the support or a false consolidation to create a distinct convergence with the oscillator rather than leaving it weak as we see it now. On the other hand, it could gradually rise towards the nearest resistance level at 1.0834, then 1.0865, and ultimately 1.0931.

On the 4-hour chart, we have a neutral situation because the price is moving sideways within the 1.0774-1.0834 range. The Marlin oscillator is also moving sideways, and the price is below both indicator lines, and there is no clear direction.

There are no clues on the external side. In the euro area, the composite PMI index for August is expected to fall from 48.6 to 47.0. In the United States, factory orders for July are expected to drop by 2.5%. We await further developments.

Technical Analysis of Intraday Price Movement of Gold Commodity Asset, Monday, September 11 2023

With the penetration of the three important levels of the CCI indicator on the 4 hour timeframe, the Gold commodity asset indicates that Sellers are dominating this commodity asset, even though there is currently an upward correction to test the Equal High level of 1928.17, but as long as it does not penetrate above the 1935.42 level, Gold still has the potential to continue. The decline is especially supported by the emergence of the Bearish Continuation Ascending Broadening Wedge pattern, so Gold has the potential to go down and try to penetrate below the 1914.79 level and if this level is successfully penetrated, the level of the Daily Bullish Fair Value Gap area in the range of 1903.38-1911.29 will be the next target to be aimed at.
