Fundamental Weekly Forecasts for Dollar Index, USD/JPY, USD/CNH, NZD/USD, AUD/USD and GOLD (based on the article)

Dollar Index - "There is no doubt that the 1Q GDP reading due Thursday will be capable of stoking serious volatility, but its influence may further prove more systemic. Relative growth and stability is increasingly important to the distribution of global funds. If the United States’ looks more robust, it will draw capital from faltering Eurozone and Japanese markets; while stability will encourage funds from China and the emerging markets. It should be mentioned that speculation for this data is very scattered. The Atlanta Fed’s forecast was 0.1 percent, the New Fed’s new forecast set it at 1.1 percent and the economists’ consensus is for 0.6 percent annualized growth."

SUMMARY : bullish

TREND : correction

The key support level at 94.32 was broken by the weekly price and 92.62 level is going to be tested for now. So, this is the global correction to be continuing. If the price breaks 92.62 level to below so the secondary correction will be continuing with the ranging condition: the price will be located within 100 SMA/200 SMA ranging reversal area of the chart.



The most likely scenarios for the next week are the following:

  • the secondary correction will be continuing with 92.62 level to be broken, and the price is started to be ranging up tp bearish reversal level, or
  • the correction will be started, and the price will be on ranging bullish market condition 'without any hope' for the bearish reversal in the near future for example.

Dollar Index - "The fading interest in the US monetary policy advantage can be recharged if the event risk can override the market’s skepticism. Both data and Fedspeak will offer an opportunity to shake rate speculation to life. There is a long list of data including sentiment surveys, trade, factory and service activity, housing and credit; but the real weight rests with the April labor report on Friday. The wage figure is where the data still has room to lift the hawks. Fed officials may also maintain their effort to bridge the gap of market skepticism."

Week Ahead: Dollar Index Technical Analysis - daily ranging bearish, weekly ranging near reversal; what's next? (based on the article)


  • "The USD is stuck at the bottom of the so-called ‘dollar smile’, which links its path to the performance of the US and global economy as well as the risk sentiment of investors."
  • "We therefore expect USD to appreciate again against G10 commodity currencies as investors start questioning the Fed's ability to fall further behind the curve and the sustainability of the commodity-price rally in the presence of persistent downside risks to the global recovery. EUR and JPY should also remain more resilient against this background."
  • "Among the key events next week will be the BoE’s May inflation report. Investors will want to know whether the MPC sees the latest economic slowdown as temporary, driven by Brexit fears, or persistent and thus likely to affect the policy outlook. With the EU referendum approaching, the MPC should stress the asymmetric risks to the outlook. This coupled with more evidence that the support for Brexit remains unabated should keep GBP on the defensive across the board."

Daily price is located below SMA with period 100 (100 SMA) and SMA with the period 200 (200 SMA) for the bearish market condition: the price is ranging within 91.92 support level and 94.81 resistance level with RSI indicator estimating the ranging bearish trend to be continuing in the near future. Bullish reversal resistance level is 96.40, and if the price breaks this level to above so the reversal of the price movement to the primary bullish market condition will be started.


  • If the price will break 94.81 resistance level so we may see the local uptrend as the bear market rally.
  • If price will break 91.92 support so the bearish trend will be continuing.
  • If not so the price will be ranging within the levels.

Weekly price is on secondary correction within the primary bullish trend: the price is testing 93.01 support level together with 100 SMA to below on close weekly bar for the secondary correction to be continuing and with 82.51 as the next bearish reversal target. But if the price breaks 100.51 resistance to above on close weekly bar so the primary bullish trend will be continuing, otherwise - ranging near reversal levels.

Fundamental Weekly Forecasts for Dollar Index, GBP/USD, USD/CNH, AUD/USD, USD/CAD, NZD/USD and GOLD (based on the article)

Dollar Index - "There are 9, officially-scheduled speeches on the docket through the coming week, and some of their content will be particularly palatable to rate speculators. St. Louis Fed President Bullard will speak about policy normalization on Monday, Minneapolis Fed President Kashkari (to this point vague on policy standing) will discuss energy and monetary policy Wednesday, and Fed Chair Yellen is set to speak on Friday. Expect rate forecasts to swing on key words – hawkish and dovish – while the Dollar follows along." 


Dollar Index is on local uptrend as the daily bear market rally: the price is testing 95.50 resistance level to above for the secondary rally to be continuing. The bullish reversal level is 96.40, and if the price breaks this level to above so the reversal of the price movement from the bearish to the primary bullish market condition will be started. Alternatively, the breaking 93.01 support to below will lead for the bearish trend to be resumed with 91.92 nearest bearish target.

Fundamental Weekly Forecasts for Dollar Index, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, AUD/USD, USD/CAD and GOLD (based on the article)

Dollar Index - "Meaningful fundamental impetus is needed to force critical technical Dollar breaks and forge follow through on an already impressive trend. Quiet is not a foregone conclusion – in fact is unlikely. Not only will Fed debate of a hike carry global repercussions; but we will see broad waves with the Brexit, oil prices, monetary policy accommodation failing to prop growth (ECB, BoJ), China capital flight and a host of other issues threaten to swell in the foreseeable future."



Daily price is on bear market rally with 95.66 resistance level to be crossed to above for the rally to be continuing. The reversal of the daily price movement to the primary bullish market condition will be started if the price breaks 96.40 resistance level. Alternative, breaking 93.01 support will lead to the bearish trend to be resumed.

Most likely scenario for the daily price for the week: bearish ranging within 95.66 bullish reversal level and 03.01 bearish continuation level.

Dollar Index - "Chairwoman Yellen’s speech Monday is the last opportunity to realign the market to a probability of a near-term hike. She is the only person – and event – with the authority to change market sentiment. After that, the Fed’s blackout of media silence pre-FOMC starts Wednesday. She not likely to refute skepticism of a June hike. However, if she doesn’t offer perspective to line up a July possibility, the Dollar will certainly have further premium to bleed."




Daily price is located below 200-day SMA/100-day SMA for the ranging within 2-week high at 95.97 and 2-week low at 93.87.

If the price breaks 95.97 resistance to above on daily close bar so the reversal of the price movement to the primary bullish will be started.
If the price breaks 93.87 support level to below on close bar so the primary bearish trend will be continuing with 91.02 possible bearish target.
If not so the price will be on ranging bearish condition.


H4 price broke 100 SMA/200 SMA reversal area to below for the primary bearish market condition.

If the price breaks 95.64 resistance to above on close H4 bar so the primary bullish trend will be resumed with 95.97 level as a target.
If the price breaks 93.87 support level to below on close H4 bar so the primary bearish trend will be continuing.
If not so the price will be on ranging condition within the levels.
