Monthly Forex Forecast Performance

Weekly Forecast 10th July 2022

Last week, I made no weekly forecast.

This week, I again make no weekly forecast as last week saw no major counter-trend price movements over the week.

The Forex market saw its level of directional volatility rise last week, with 52% of all the important currency pairs or crosses moving by more than 1% in value. Directional volatility is likely to increase again over this coming week as there are several major data releases scheduled, including US CPI.

Last week was dominated by relative strength in the US Dollar, and relative weakness in the Euro.

Key Support/Resistance Levels for Popular Pairs

I 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 can be watched on the more popular currency pairs this week.

Key Support and Resistance Levels

Let us see how trading reversals from one of last week’s key levels could have worked out:

USD/JPY

I had expected the level at ¥134.92 might function as support, as it had previously functioned as both support and resistance. Note how such “flipping” levels can be very reliable reversal points. The H1 chart below shows how the price rejected this level with a bullish inside bar during last Monday’s Asian session, which is typically a great time to be trading Forex pairs or crosses involving the Japanese Yen. The entry point is marked by the up arrow within the price chart below. This trade has been nicely profitable so far, achieving a maximum positive risk-reward ratio slightly higher than 4 to 1 based upon the size of the entry candlestick structure.
