This week we'll begin with our monthly and weekly forecasts of the currency pairs worth watching. The first part of our forecast is based upon our research of the past 16 years of Forex prices, which show that the following methodologies have all produced profitable results:

Trading the two currencies that are trending the most strongly over the past 3 months.

⦁ Assuming that trends are usually ready to reverse after 12 months.

⦁ Trading against very strong counter-trend movements by currency pairs made during the previous week.

Buying currencies with high interest rates and selling currencies with low interest rates.

Let's look at the relevant data of currency price changes and interest rates to date, which we compiled using a trade-weighted index of the major global currencies:

 Currency price changes

Monthly Forecast November 2019

For the month of November, we forecast that the best trade would be long GBP/USD following a daily close higher than 1.3081. There has not been a daily close above that level yet.

Weekly Forecast 10th November 2019  

Last week, we made no weekly forecast as there were no very strong countertrend movements. This week we again make no forecast.

The Forex market has become slightly less active, with only 15% of the important currency pairs and crosses moving by more than 1% in value over the past week. Volatility is likely to be at least a little over the next week. There are few strong trends in the Forex market as present, except the bullish trend in the USD/JPY currency pair.

Last week was dominated by relative strength in the U.S. Dollar, and relative weakness in the New Zealand Dollar.

Key Support/Resistance Levels for Popular Pairs

We teach that trades should be entered and exited at or very close to key support and resistance levels. There are certain key support and resistance levels that should be watched on the more popular currency pairs this week, which might result in either reversals or breakouts:

Support and resistance levels

Let's see how trading one of these key pairs last week off key support and resistance levels could have worked out:

AUD/USD

We had expected the level at 0.6927 might act as resistance, as it had acted previously as both support and resistance. Note how these "flipping" levels can work very well. The H1 chart below shows how during the first half of last Tuesday's London session, the price bounced strongly off that level, forming a bearish outside candlestick marked by the down arrow in the price chart below, which immediately broke to the downside. This trade has given a very good maximum reward to risk ratio of more than 5 to 1 so far.

 That's all for this week. You can trade our forecasts in a real or demo Forex brokerage account to test the strategies and strengthen your self-confidence before investing real funds.

NZD/USD drops from weekly highs post-dismal ADP report, meanders around 0.6630s - FXStreet

The NZD/USD snaps two consecutive days of gains, down 0.15%, amid a positive market mood. The US ADP employment report was dismal, though it barely influenced the US dollar. NZD/USD is downward biased, and failure to break above a downslope trendline opened the door for the YTD low. The New Zealand dollar climbs but retreats from weekly highs around 0.6662 after mixed than foreseen NZ jobs report released in the Asian session. At the time of writing, the NZD/USD is trading at 0.6637. The US ADP Employment report was ignored by investors as they prepare for Friday's NFP An hour and a half before Wall Street's opened, the ADP Jobs report was released. The figures were dismal, showing the losses of more than 301K employments when polled economists expected at least 207K private jobs added to the economy.  The ADP Chief Economist said that "The labor market recovery took a step back at the start of 2022 due to the effect of the Omicron va...

Wyckoff Method: Rules, Accumulation, and Distribution - Investopedia

Legendary technician Richard Wyckoff wrote about financial markets in the early decades of the 20th century at the same time as did Charles Dow, Jesse Livermore, and other iconic market analysis figures. His pioneering approach to technical analysis known as the Wyckoff Method has survived into the modern era. It continues to guide traders and investors in the best ways to pick winning stocks, the most advantageous times to buy them, and the most effective risk management techniques to use. Wyckoff's observations on price action coalesced into what's known as the Wyckoff market cycle. It's a theory that outlines key elements in price trend development that are marked by periods of accumulation and distribution. Four distinct phases comprise the cycle: accumulation, markup, distribution, and markdown. Wykoff also defined rules to use in conjunction with these phases. These rules can further help to identify the location and significance of price within the broad s...

Stock Indexes Wrap: Alphabet, Microsoft Spur AI Rally; Intel and Oil Giants Slide April 26, 2024 04:14 PM EDT The Dow Amazon (AMZN) surged 3.4%, boosted by earnings reports from AI hyperscaler peers Alphabet and Microsoft.  Microsoft (MSFT) gained 1.8% after topping earnings estimates and reporting strong demand for its cloud services.  Chevron (CVX) ticked up 0.3% after reporting first-quarter profit declined about as much as analysts were expecting.  Intel (INTC) tumbled 9.2% after forecasting current-quarter revenue below Wall Street's expectations.
