I plan my trading for the week ahead each weekend. Here are the Forex trading opportunities I will be stalking this week.
Note that this is my current view, but if market conditions change my view can change too. Generally I will trade in alignment with what I have noted here, though I will wait for a set-up before I enter. I base my view on technical and fundamental information. This is my beliefs and you are welcome to have opposite ones. Having a plan is more important than the actual direction for me.
- Short GBP/USD. Breakout – MT is bear normal. We have had a breakout and fundamentals negative for GBP with uncertainty around the upcoming election.
- Waiting USD/JPY. – MT is sideways normal. Prefer longs with profit short term profit targets at the moment.
- Waiting AUD/USD – MT is sideways volatile turning sideways normal. Waiting with a short bias.
- Short EUR/USD. Trend – MT is bear normal (just & debatable, as it could be a sideways volatile). The strength of the move means we want to stay short until at least the low at 1.0460 .
- Waiting NZD/USD. – MT is sideways normal.
- Long USD/CHF. Reversal– MT is turning bull normal. The low we mentioned last week was not breached and we have a double bottom in place. Strong upwards momentum and remain fundamentally bullish this pair.
- Short EUR/CHF. Trend – MT is bear normal. Be very very wary of going short this pair as the SNB are making noises which could be preparing the market for more intervention.
- Long USD/CAD. Reversal – MT is sideways volatile. Had a bullish engulfing candle after support was busted. Be very cautious after Fridays bearish candle though.
- Waiting EUR/GBP. – MT is sideways normal. Wait for the price to hold below support before the bear is confirmed
- Waiting AUD/JPY. MT is sideways volatile. Wait or trade off the edges.
- Waiting NZD/JPY – MT is volatile sideways . Daily reversal candle suggests the momentum is short.
- Short GBP/JPY. Trend – MT is bear normal. Look short
- Waiting EUR/JPY. – MT is sideways normal. Prefer to wait for the low to be breached, but this pair is likely heading lower.
- Short GBP/NZD. Trend – MT is normal bear. Go short.
- Short EUR/NZD. Trend– MT is normal bear. Keep going short, but MT is turning sideways so be careful.
- Short AUD/NZD. Trend – MT is normal bear. Had a strong reversal after the RBA announcement last week but technically the bear is still in play.
- Waiting EUR/AUD. – MT is sideways volatile. Very rapid sell off last week.
- Waiting GBP/AUD. – MT is sideways volatile. As above.
- Short AUD/CAD. Trend– MT is Volatile bear. Keep going short but with caution.
- Short GBP/CAD. Trend– MT is normal bear. Continue going short.
