Quick Technical Overview - NZD/USD Levels Ahead of FOMC Minutes (based on the article)

Daily price is on bearish breakdown located below Ichimoku cloud: the price is testing 0.7055 support to below for the breakdown to be continuing.


  • "In the following table, you’ll find implied volatility (IV) levels for major USD-pairs looking out over the next one-day and one-week time-frames. Using these levels, we’ve derived the range-low/high prices from the current spot price within one-standard deviation for specified periods. Statistically speaking, there is a 68% probability that price will remain within the lower and upper-bounds".



  • "One-day implied volatility is relatively ‘normal’ across the dollar-spectrum. So far, it’s been a rather ‘ho-hum’ type of day with limited price movement, and while there is likely to be a spat of volatility following the release of the minutes, it could remain a fairly uneventful day once the dust settles through the NY close. At 18:00 GMT time, the minutes from the September FOMC meeting will be released, and again, while there aren’t big expectations for major price swings it’s always prudent to be prepared in the event of a surprise".

EUR/USD - daily bullish reversal; 1.2092 is the target (based on the article)

Daily price is breaking Senkou Span line together with 1.1869 resistance level to above for the daily bullish reversal with 1.2092 daily target.


  • "The Euro has mounted a spirited recovery against the US Dollar after finding support near the 1.17 figure but the dominant trend bias still favors weakness. Near-term positioning continues to be defined by a series of lower highs and lows, painting recent gains as corrective (at least for now)."
  • "From here, a daily close above the 1.1900 figure (trend line, 23.6% Fibonacci expansion) opens the door for a challenge of the 1.2041-70 area (38.2% level, August 29 high). Alternatively, a reversal back below the 14.6% expansion at 1.1812 exposes the 1.1711-21 zone (38.2% Fib retracement, October 5 close)."

Trading the News: U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) (based on the article)

An uptick in both the headline and core U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) may undermine the near-term rebound in EUR/USD as it encourages the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to implement higher borrowing-costs over the coming months.

What’s Expected:


How To Trade This Event Risk

Bullish USD Trade: Headline & Core CPI Pick Up in September

  • Need a red, five-minute candle following the CPI report to favor a short EUR/USD trade.
  • If the market reaction favors a bullish dollar position, sell EUR/USD with two separate lots.
  • Set stop at the near-by swing high/reasonable distance from entry; look for at least 1:1 risk-to-reward.
  • Move stop to breakeven on remaining position once initial target is met, set reasonable limit.

Bearish USD Trade: U.S. Inflation Report Fails to Meet Market Forecast

  • Need a green, five-minute EUR/USD candle to favor a long EUR/USD trade.

EUR/USD - 1.1879 is the key for the bullish; 1.1669 is the key for the daily correction (based on the article)

Daily price is located above 200 SMA in the bullish area of the chart. The price is moving to be above and near 55 SMA with 1.1879 resistance level to be crossing for the bullish trend to be continuing.


  • "The outlook for EURUSD heading into last week was for a bounce to develop, but that was all it was expected to be – a bounce. And now with resistance standing in the way and a broad topping formation dating back to early-August coming further into view, we’re ready to shift into reverse. The area from 11825 to 11880, as we noted a week ago, is viewed as a fairly formidable area of resistance. Should we see resistance hold as reliable and a decline soon develop, the ‘right shoulder’ of a ‘head-and-shoulders’ pattern could become cemented. "
  • "Support on weakness will come in at the neckline of the pattern, which arrives near the monthly low at 11669. Given the lack of recent volatility a break below there may not develop in the days ahead, but if we see a closing bar below the ‘neckline’ of the formation then a much broader move lower is expected. For now, though, the ‘neckline’ will be viewed for what it is – support. A strong push beyond the 11880/910 area will be needed if the bounce is to potentially develop into something more meaningful."

  • "Bitcoin has a couple of things in common with the famous 17th century tulips -- as an investment vehicle that is. One of them is the promise to change peoples’ lives, which excites and hypes investor imagination. Another is the astronomical rise in the prices of the two investment vehicles, which helped early investors amass fortunes in short periods of time."
