[FOREX TIP] USDCHF Weekly Forex Forecast – 8th to 12th Oct 2018

USDCHF Weekly Forex Forecast – 8th to 12th Oct 2018

Fundamentals Outlook
Economic data next week takes a breather after a rather busy first week. Most of the reports are second tier data and unlikely to move the markets to a bigger extent. Data includes German import prices and industrial production numbers. Economic data from Japan and Switzerland are relatively quiet. No major releases are scheduled for the week ahead. In the U.S. the monthly inflation reports will be coming out. This also includes the final inflation figures from the Eurozone as well. Given that inflation eased as per the flash estimates, we could expect a reaction on a final reading in inflation. The flows in the Swiss franc and the Japanese yen will also be set by the general market sentiment over the week.

Chart set up:
The USDCHF currency pair advanced strongly over the week. Price action posted a reversal just a few pips shy from the next main resistance level of 0.9967 by Friday’s close. This came following the bearish engulfing pattern on the 4-hour chart.

Key support/resistance levels:
Support: 0.9803; Resistance: 0.9967

Commentary:
The USDCHF currency pair continued to maintain the momentum as price action inched closer to the next main resistance level. With the 4-hour Stochastic oscillator strongly in the overbought level, we expect to see a short term correction in prices. However, the trend remains to the upside and a possible correction to eventually push USDCHF to test the resistance level eventually. A reversal is expected near the resistance level which could push the currency pair to test the support level. For the week ahead, USDCHF is expected to be slightly bearish.

USDJPY Weekly Forex Forecast – 8th to 12th Oct 2018

Fundamentals Outlook
Economic data next week takes a breather after a rather busy first week. Most of the reports are second tier data and unlikely to move the markets to a bigger extent. Data includes German import prices and industrial production numbers. Economic data from Japan and Switzerland are relatively quiet. No major releases are scheduled for the week ahead. In the U.S. the monthly inflation reports will be coming out. This also includes the final inflation figures from the Eurozone as well. Given that inflation eased as per the flash estimates, we could expect a reaction on a final reading in inflation. The flows in the Swiss franc and the Japanese yen will also be set by the general market sentiment over the week.

Chart set up:
The USDJPY currency pair continued to post strong gains as price action breached past the resistance level of 113.58. The U.S. dollar also quickly posted a rebound to establish support at the newly breached resistance level by Friday’s close.

Key support/resistance levels:
Support: 113.58; Resistance: 114.73

Commentary:
The USDJPY was seen closing at fresh monthly highs last week. The gains came on a strong U.S. dollar and a risk on sentiment in the market. However, from the weekly charts, the USDJPY is seen closing with a doji candlestick pattern. This could signal a possible pause to the rally. A bearish follow through could mean a correction in the making. In the short term, the support at 113.58 remains critical. As long as this support holds, we could expect to see some more gains. However, the momentum looks to be easing. As a result, a break down below the support could trigger further declines. For the week ahead, the USDJPY currency pair is expected to be bearish.

EURUSD Weekly Forex Forecast – 8th to 12th Oct 2018

Fundamentals Outlook
Economic data next week takes a breather after a rather busy first week. Most of the reports are second tier data and unlikely to move the markets to a bigger extent. Data includes German import prices and industrial production numbers. Economic data from Japan and Switzerland are relatively quiet. No major releases are scheduled for the week ahead. In the U.S. the monthly inflation reports will be coming out. This also includes the final inflation figures from the Eurozone as well. Given that inflation eased as per the flash estimates, we could expect a reaction on a final reading in inflation. The flows in the Swiss franc and the Japanese yen will also be set by the general market sentiment over the week.

Chart set up:
The EURUSD currency pair continued to remain weak as price action was seen closing below the support level of 1.1547 by Friday’s close. A stronger U.S. dollar along with a somewhat weaker sentiment from the Eurozone added to the common currency’s declines.

Key support/resistance levels:
Support: 1.1418; Resistance: 1.1545

Commentary:
The euro currency slipped sharply below the identified support level of 1.1545. Price action attempted to post a bounce back off this level but was met with resistance. We expect to see some continued test of resistance at this level. As long as the resistance level holds, the euro currency is expected to remain weak to the downside. This could potentially mean that further declines could be expected in the near term. To the downside, the declines will push the currency pair lower to the next main support level of 1.1418. Establishing support here could stall the declines in the common currency. However, the longer term trend remains to the downside. A potential rebound off this level could signal early about a possible rebound in price action. For the week ahead, the EURUSD is expected to be slightly bullish.
