I just got back from a very relaxing and much needed break, I hope everyone had an enjoyable August as well. So let's get started on this week's General Market Outlook!
-------------------------------------------------
Interesting Pairs:
EUR/USD - Bullish
- If price doesn't gap up at market open today, I'm probably going to open a few small longs then load some more as we approach my interesting levels. - Tight stops under 1.31XX though because the next level of interest is close by.
Targets: - Mid 1.32XX (price hasn't closed the gap yet) - Low 1.33XX (previous target and first resistance level) - Low 1.35XX (second resistance level)
---------
USD/CAD - Bullish
- Assuming the 1.081X level holds as support, price looks like it's poised to test the 1.1000 level again. - If you don't already have a position, now isn't a very good time to load longs unless you have a large risk tolerance. I'd only consider loading longs if price gets closer to the 1.081X level.
---------
XAG/USD - Bearish
- Deja Vu? Looks like history might repeat itself. - If it does, then price is going to test the 18.6X level again (for the 4th time in a descending triangle formation). - The 18.6X level may not hold this time around and if it does break, price might tumble down quite a bit.
-------------------------------------------------
Confusing Pairs:
AUD/USD - Used to have a clear cut middle line but seems to have developed a dead zone in the middle now. Considering we're stuck in the dead zone right now, I don't know where price is heading from here.
---------
GBP/USD - Bullish?
- I have conflicting views on this one. On one hand, the mid 1.64XX region is a likely target to hit but on the other, it looks like price is exhausted and wants to retrace a bit first before hitting it. - General consensus among bears right now is for the mid 1.64XX region to hit first but who knows? - If it does go up, targets are 1.669X, 1.676X & 1.681X.
---------
USD/JPY - Bearish?
- I'm tempted to say bearish because price didn't 'actually' break the 104 level yet. Price simply gapped up above it then went down, this doesn't qualify as a normal "break". - Thus, based on how price has been behaving for the past week, I think the 104 level is still acting as resistance and price may drop from here. - If it does drop, 103.0X is the target level (previous resistance + projected parallel trend line)
