Weekly Trading Forecasts for Major Pairs (June 19 - 23, 2017)

Here’s the market outlook for the week:

EURUSD
Dominant bias: Bullish
The market largely consolidated last week – in the context of an uptrend. A movement below the support line at 1.1100 could trigger a bearish signal, and that exactly is what is expected this week, for the outlook on EURUSD (and some EUR pairs) is bearish. The targets for the week are located at the support lines of 1.1050 and 1.1000. However, there would not be a real threat to the current bullish outlook until the support line at 1.1100 is breached to the downside.

USDCHF
Dominant bias: Bearish
Despite the little bullish effort that was made in the last few days of last week, the bias on USDCHF is essentially bearish. The bias would, nevertheless, turn bullish, once the resistance level at 0.9900 is breached to the upside. That is a huge possibility this week, because EURUSD is expected to trend south (thereby helping USDCHF upwards), and CHF is also expected to be somewhat weak, which would enable USD to rally versus it.

GBPUSD
Dominant bias: Neutral
This is a volatile market, which has put the recent bullish outlook in a precarious situation. A protracted directional movement is needed before a new bias can be determined in the short-term. There is a need for the accumulation territory at 1.2600 to the breached to the downside before the bias can turn bearish, and there is a need for the distribution territory at 1.2900 to be breached to the upside before the bias can turn bullish. Until one of these two things happen, the bias would remain neutral.

USDJPY
Dominant bias: Bearish
This trading instrument is trying to make some bullish effort in the context of a downtrend. Last week, price consolidated and then made a faint bullish effort on Thursday and Friday, as it closed above the demand level at 110.50 on Friday. The outlook on JPY pairs is again, bearish for this week, and as a result of this, any rallies perceived in the market should be disregarded, since they would turn out to be short-selling opportunities.

EURJPY
Dominant bias: Bullish
The bias on EURJPY remains bullish, although that may change at any time. Price closed above the demand zone at 124.00 and it may hit the supply zones at 124.50 and 125.00, before turning south. Any gains in the Yen would cause JPY pairs to tumble, and EURJPY is no exception. Nevertheless, there is a need for price to go below the demand zone at 121.00 before the bias can really turn bearish.

This forecast is concluded with the quote below:

Weekly Trading Forecasts for Major Pairs (June 12 - 16, 2017)

Here’s the market outlook for the week:

EURUSD
Dominant bias: Bullish
Although the bias on this pair is bullish, bulls are getting tired of pushing price upwards. Price consolidated last week, moving between the resistance line at 1.1200 and the resistance line at 1.1300, before it closed below the resistance line at 1.1200 on Friday. The outlook on EUR pairs is bearish this week, and that may cause the market to assume a bearish journey, as the support lines at 1.1150 and 1.1100 are targeted.

USDCHF
Dominant bias: Bearish
USD/CHF moved between the resistance level at 0.9700 and the support level at 0.9600 last week. On Friday, an attempt was made to go above the resistance level at 0.9700, but price was forced to close below it. In spite of a faint rally that was seen last week, the dominant bias on the market remains bearish. Further bearishness is expected this week, as USD would be weak against some currencies like CHF, NZD and AUD. The only factor that could cause a noteworthy bullish run in the market is a major pullback on the EURUSD.

GBPUSD
Dominant bias: Bearish
It was formerly forecast that the outlook on GBP pair is bearish for June. GBP pairs went through major pullbacks last week as EURGBP shot skywards. That event was what put an end to the short-term neutrality on GBPUSD, which has been moving sideways before the pullback that happed on June 9. That event has caused a Bearish Confirmation Pattern to form in the market as price lost more than 200 pips (the initial loss was about 300 pips but price bounced upwards). This week, the bearish outlook on the market remains valid as further bearish movement is anticipated.

USDJPY
Dominant bias: Bearish
This trading instrument went downwards on Monday and Tuesday; and then made effort to go upwards on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. All this happened in the context of a downtrend, which is expected to continue this week, for the outlook on JPY pair is very bearish for the week. Thus, the demand levels at 109.50. 109.00, and 108.50 would be tested this week, as price goes southwards.

EURJPY
Dominant bias: Bearish
The EUR/JPY cross is bullish in the long-term (though the long term-bullishness is now being threatened), and bearish in the short-term. Price dropped 150 pips last week, to test the demand zone at 123.00, after which it moved sideways for the rest of the week. Things are currently volatile, but further bearish movement is anticipated (just like on other JPY pairs); and thus, the demand zones at 123.00, 122.50 and 122.00 could be breached.

This forecast is concluded with the quote below:

Technical Forecasts for CFDs (June 2017)

AUS200
Dominant bias: Bearish
On this market, a bearish signal was generated last month, when the market lost over 23,000 points. This has resulted in a Bearish Confirmation Pattern, as this month was also opened on a strong bearish note. The market has lost more than 10,000 points this month, and this is just the beginning. In June, it is expected that AUS200 would lose at least, 20,000 points (10,000 points having been lost already). Thus, the support lines at 5630.00, 5600.00 and 5570.00 would be targeted and possibly be exceeded as the market goes further southwards.

SPX500
Dominant bias: Bullish
SPX500 consolidated from May 3 to 16, and then nosedived to test the support level at 2346.0. After that, price assumed a strong bullish movement as it rose over 800 points, ending May on a strong bullish note. SPX500 has done nothing significant this week, save roughly sideways movement – in the context of an uptrend. The current consolidation may continue for the next several trading days, but when momentum rises, it would most probably favor bulls as price goes further north. The bullish bias on the market is far from being over.

US30
Dominant bias: Bullish
US30 as usual, is normally correlated with SPX500. The movement in the market in May, plus what has happened so far this month, is quite similar to the movement on the SPX500. Price consolidated between May 2 to 16, and then pulled back to test the accumulation territory at 20496. More pullback was rejected as price rose by roughly 600 points, seeing the month of June start with a strong bullish propensity. Nonetheless, the market has not done anything significant after that, save the ongoing sideways movement in the context of an uptrend. There would soon be a breakout which would most probably favor bulls.

GER30
Dominant bias: Bullish
This is a bull market, but things are quite rough. The last 2 weeks of May were particularly choppy, with no directional movement. Should the current condition of the market continue for the next several trading days, the bias on the market would become neutral in the short-term (whereas the long-term bias would remain bullish, as long as the market does not lose 5000 points from here). In spite of the extant choppy condition, the outlook on GER30 remains bullish for the month of June. So, price would eventually go towards the initial supply levels at 12850.0, 12900.0 and 12950.0. The first two supply levels were previously tested.

FRA40
Dominant bias: Bullish
FRA40 was caught in an equilibrium phase in the last 2 weeks of May, while the bullish bias on the market remained intact. In June, a bearish signal has been generated in the short-term, while the long-term bias remains bullish (but threatened). The short-term bearish signal was caused by a 700-point bearish movement that occurred since the beginning of June. A movement towards the demand zone at 5090.0 would invalidate the dominant bullish bias, though that would require a heavy selling pressure in the market. A serious movement to the upside would override the short-term bearish signal in the market, and strengthen the dominant bullish bias.

Weekly Trading Forecasts for Major Pairs (June 5 - 9, 2017)

Here’s the market outlook for the week:

EURUSD
Dominant bias: Bullish
This pair consolidated in the first few days of last week, and then went slightly upwards. On Friday, price closed above the support line at 1.1250, targeting the resistance line at 1.1300. The outlook on EUR pairs, however, is bearish for this week, which means that EURUSD could experience a serious pullback before the end of the week. Before that happens, price would continue making some visible bullish effort.

USDCHF
Dominant bias: Bearish
USDCHF went bearish last week, losing at least, 110 pips. The market has lost 460 pips since May 11, and that has caused a Bearish Confirmation Pattern to form in the chart. On June 2, price closed below the resistance level at 0.9650, going towards the support level at 0.9600, which is the first target for the week. The second target is the support level at 0.9550. The market is expected to continue going further and further southward, until EURUSD would experience a clear pullback, something that would cause USDCHF to spring upwards.

GBPUSD
Dominant bias: Bullish
GBPUSD is bullish in the long-term, but neutral in the short-term. In the short-term, price simply fluctuated without taking a specific direction. The situation may change this week as price goes above the distribution territory at 1.3050 to continue the long-term bullish bias; or goes below the accumulation territory at 1.2700, to form a new bearish bias. Price must thus go above the aforementioned distribution territory (1.3050) or accumulation territory (1.2700) before a directional bias can occur.

USDJPY
Dominant bias: Bearish
There is a bearish signal on this currency trading instrument, and price may continue going downwards to test demand levels at 110.00, 109.50 and 109.00. Price went sideways last week, but became conspicuously bearish on Friday. Rally attempts may happen along the way, but they are expected to be transient (not being able to form a bullish bias on the market), because the general outlook on this trading instrument, as well as other JPY pairs, is bearish for June.

EURJPY
Dominant bias: Bullish
The EUR/JPY cross is bullish in the long-term, and neutral in the short-term. Price generally went upwards in May; though it is yet to do anything noteworthy this month. The demand zone at 123.50 was tested last week before price went upwards by 180 pips, going above the demand zone at 125.00 briefly and then closing below it on Friday. As long as EUR is strong in itself, this cross would maintain some form of bullishness; otherwise it would eventually tumble.

This forecast is concluded with the quote below:

“If you haven’t already experienced sideways market types for yourself, you will soon discover that they occur a lot more frequently and go for longer periods of time than most new traders realize. If you know how to trade in sideways conditions, you will find plenty of opportunity and you’ll also dramatically boost your chances for long term trading success.” – Dr. Van Tharp

Technical Reviews for Gold, Silver and Bitcoin (June 2017)

GOLD (XAUUSD)
Dominant Bias: Bullish
Gold began the current bullish movement on May 9, 2017 forming a bullish bias on the market. Price is currently above the support level at 1270.00, going towards the resistance level at 1280.00. Before May 9, 2017, there was a severe selling pressure in the market, but that May loss has now been fully recovered. In June, the outlook on Gold is bullish, for price is expected to go higher and higher. The initial target is located at the resistance level of 1295.22, which was the high of April. There is a possibility that the initial target would even be exceeded.

SILVER (XAGUSD)
Dominant Bias: Bearish
Silver is also bullish, now above the demand level at 17.2000. The market went bearish from April 17 to May 9, 2017. However, further bearish movement was rejected at 16.0613, as a serious bullish movement began, which has held up until now. There is a Bullish Confirmation Pattern in the market, which signals more northwards journey. Price is supposed to gain a minimum of 10,000 pips this month, but the ultimately target that is unlikely to be exceeded is the high of April – 18.6493. The bullish expectation does not rule out probabilities of temporary pullbacks.

BITCOIN (BTCUSD)
Dominant Bias: Bullish
This market, which is becoming more and more popular, has recently experienced maniacal volatility. Both the long-term and the short-term biases are bullish. Price has been going upwards from the beginning of this year, topping at 2797.27 on May 25. That was followed by volatile bearishness which lasted till the end of May. Bitcoin is now less volatile when compared to the last several days of May; plus price has been moving up gradually. The market is expected to go upwards in June, recovering the loss it suffered in May. The aforementioned high (top) of May could be reached or exceeded.

TRADING IN UNCERTAIN TIMES


The problem of trading in uncertain times crept up on the Mentor Program Alumni forum and I have been thinking about my answer. The original answer I gave is shown below –

I think one of the things you need to be able to do is to define what uncertainty is. If you opt for volatility as a proxy for uncertainty then you see something quite interesting. The VIX which is known as the fear index and should reflect uncertainty is actually at sitting somewhere near its long term average, indicating that the players who make up this index don’t actually see any uncertainty and are not asking for an increase in the risk premium they demand. The same is true if you look at the historic volatility in the Dow which is also sitting at a 9 year low.
From my perspective is the issue is not uncertainty in markets but uncertainty in decision making that is brought about by listening to external sources. If you switched off the news and all the associated commentary and simply looked at markets what would they tell you?

What has caused me to think further about this overnight is the notion of what actually is the uncertainty that is being referred to. Is it a true physical uncertainty or a psychological perception brought on by exposure to the narratives of others? I had a look at Wikipedia for a more formal definition of uncertainty and it gave the following –

Uncertainty is a situation which involves imperfect and/or unknown information. However, “uncertainty is an unintelligible expression without a straightforward description”.[1] It arises in subtly different ways in a number of fields, including insurance, philosophy, physics, statistics, economics, finance, psychology, sociology, engineering, metrology, and information science. It applies to predictions of future events, to physical measurements that are already made, or to the unknown. Uncertainty arises in partially observable and/or stochastic environments, as well as due to ignorance and/or indolence.

You will notice that the definition holds at its core the uncertainty inherent in predicting future events. In fact the science of probability is based around trying to deal with the fact that the universe is an uncertain place. However, uncertainty is the default setting in trading – the outcome of all trades is unknown until they are closed. It is this uncertainty that gives us the potential to be profitable, investments that have known or certain outcomes have no risk premium attached as such they offer little in the way of return (think bank deposit). This definition is therefore of little use in unpacking the notion of a change in traders uncertainty quotient. Granted we can respond to changes in volatility and we have tools to measure this but this is a reasonably common occurrence in trading and there are strategies that can be put in place to deal with this. In fact very basic position sizing and volatility based stops self-correct to deal with this sort of problem.

So I am drawn back to the idea that what actually changes is the tone and intensity of the narratives that people surround themselves with. This ever increasing crescendo of noise is bound to take an effect on peoples psyche particularity at present when the world appears to be spinning out of control. However, notice I used the expression appears, I used this term because appearances and reality are not the same thing. What brings some equilibrium back to the noise of others is as always context, the markets tell a completely different story. Whilst the breathless gibbering that is the media may consider the present to be the most troubled time in history and need to shout about it at every opportunity neither that markets nor history itself would agree.

This is the most salient point for traders with regards to what is considered uncertainty. Uncertainty is the environment within which we operate as a broad observation but beyond that it is actually the markets themselves that define what actually uncertainty is and they can do this by readily accessible metrics. When volatility and in turn risk premiums increase then we can say that uncertainty has increased. However, even here people try inject their own primitive narrative into events as the VIX which is a widely known measure of volatility is referred to as the fear index when it is nothing of the sort. However, this is the natural human desire for drama, we all have a friend or relative who is addicted to drama and those in the news media, particularly the financial arena and prime diva’s. So if you find yourself believing that uncertainty has increased but markets don’t agree then you will need to do something about what leaks into your brain.

Weekly Trading Forecasts for Major Pairs (May 29 – June 2, 2017)

Here’s the market outlook for the week:

EURUSD
Dominant bias: Bullish
This pair consolidated last week, moving between the resistance line at 1.1250 and the support line at 1.1150. The resistance line at 1.1250 was tested several times, but it could not be broken to the upside, owing to the ongoing consolidation. A breakout is anticipated before the end of the week, which would most probably favor bulls as the resistance line at 1.1250 is broken to the upside, but the outlook on the market is bearish for June 2017. It should be noted that certain EUR pairs may not go bearish in June.

USDCHF
Dominant bias: Bearish
This pair went sideways last week, in the context of a downtrend. Price oscillated between the support level at 0.9700 and the resistance level at 0.9800. The support level at 0.9700 was tested several times and it could not be breached to the downside – and that is exactly what would happen this week – a breakout to the downside. This week, the Greenback would be weak while the Swissie would be strong: Hence further bearish movement in the market as the support level at 0.9700 is broken to the downside. This trend would reverse when EURUSD plummets in June.

GBPUSD
Dominant bias: Bullish
GBPUSD is bullish in the long-term, but bearish in the short-term. The market was caught in an equilibrium phase from Monday to Wednesday, and then went southward on Thursday and Friday, dropping 200 pips from the distribution territory at 1.3000 to the accumulation territory at 1.2800 (a well-anticipated occurrence). The outlook on GBP pairs is bearish for this week and for the month of June. Markets would generally be quiet in June, but GBP pairs would trend seriously, going bearish in most cases.

USDJPY
Dominant bias: Neutral
The market is neutral in the long-term, but bearish in the short-term. There was no significant movement last week, but things could become significant before the end of this week. The demand level at 111.00 was tested many times last week, and without success. The most probable movement is southwards, as the demand levels at 111.00, 110.50 and 110.00 are breached to the downside.

EURJPY
Dominant bias: Bullish
There was no significant movement on EURJPY last week, save price went slightly bearish on Friday, in the context of an uptrend. The markets would generally be quiet in June 2017, while JPY pairs trend seriously nonetheless (just like GBP pairs). The outlook on JPY pairs is bearish for June; plus the most probable direction is southwards. EUR/JPY would go downwards by at least, 300 pips within the next two weeks, and that would lead to the end of the current bullish bias.

This forecast is concluded with the quote below:

Can you see?

Let's think. If it's bad news about Nigeria, the thread would be put to the front page and a lot of people would start commenting. Even if it's not pushed to the front page, some people would still comment.

When a foreigner says something bad about Nigeria, we react negatively, and we ourselves don't have anything good to say about the country. When a foreigner says good things about us, we ignore it.

It's a pity.

Weekly Trading Forecasts for Major Pairs (May 22 - 26, 2017)

Here’s the market outlook for the week:

EURUSD
Dominant bias: Bullish
This pair went upwards by 290 pips last week, putting greater emphasis on the recent bullish bias that has formed this month. Price closed slightly above the support line at 1.1200 on Friday. The bullish momentum is currently strong, and the resistance lines at 1.1250, 1.1300 and 1.1350 may be tested this week. This however, does not rule out possibilities of pullbacks in the market, because EUR would rise against some currencies while falling against others.

USDCHF
Dominant bias: Bearish
USDCHF plummeted last week, losing 280 pips and closing below the resistance level at 0.9750. Price has fallen by 340 pips since May 12, and further fall is expected this week. The support levels at 0.9700, 0.9650 and 0.9600, may be tested this week, owing to the Bearish Confirmation Pattern in the market. USDCHF would continue to trend southwards as long as EURUSD journeys northwards.

GBPUSD
Dominant bias: Bullish
GBPUSD was able to maintain its bullishness last week. The market closed above the accumulation territory at 1.3000 on Friday, going towards the distribution territory at 1.3050 (which may be tested or even breached to the upside). On the other hand, there is also a possibility of a deep bearish correction this week, because bearish movements may occur on certain GBP pairs, and the ripple effect may affect GBPUSD.

USDJPY
Dominant bias: Bearish
The market went bearish last week, thus invalidating the bullish signal that was formed earlier this month, and creating a new short-term bearish signal. Price has dropped roughly 290 pips last week, slashed the demand level at 110.50, and closed above the demand level at 111.00. The demand levels at 110.00 and 109.50 may try to reject any meaningful bearish movement, for the outlook on JPY pairs is bullish for this week. Some form of reversal may be witnessed in the market.


EURJPY
Dominant bias: Bullish
This cross pair is still bullish, while being volatile in the long-term. Price has formed a zigzag pattern in the market: It went up on Monday and Tuesday, came down on Wednesday and Thursday, and then went upwards again on Friday. The present “buy” signal can push price towards the supply zones at 125.50, 126.00 and 127.50. These targets might even be exceeded, especially given the expected bullish movements on JPY pairs.

This forecast is concluded with the quote below:
