The Dollar Index Is Consolidating. Investors Expect Additional Drivers

by JustForex

The greenback continues to show ambiguous results against its main competitors. Yesterday, the dollar index (#DX) closed the trading session with a slight decline (-0.07%). Investors expect additional drivers. Financial market participants continue to monitor the progress of a new stimulus package for the US economy. Donald Trump declined previous comments and said he was ready to approve support for individuals, small businesses and airlines.

The second wave of the coronavirus pandemic has come to the fore again. At the moment, the number of infected in the world has exceeded 36.4 million. Some EU countries have recorded a new anti-record for the number of infected and are planning to introduce new restrictive measures. ECB officials are concerned about the prospects for economic recovery in the Eurozone. The regulator is ready to expand financial incentives if necessary. Today, the UK has released a series of weak statistics on manufacturing output and the country’s GDP. We expect data on the labor market in Canada.

The “black gold” prices have been declining after a sharp rally the day before. At the moment, futures for the WTI crude oil are testing the $40.70 mark per barrel.

Market indicators

Yesterday, there was the bullish sentiment in the US stock market: #SPY (+0.89%), #DIA (+0.48%), #QQQ (+0.53%).

The 10-year US government bonds yield is consolidating. The indicator has reached 0.76-0.77%.

EURUSD significantly above 1.1600, despite rising US yields – 1,2000 soon?

By Admiral Markets

Economic Events October 09, 2020Source: Economic Events October 09, 2020 – Admiral Markets’ Forex Calendar

Into the weekly close, the economic calendar is quite thin, even though recent political developments are delivering enough fuel for potential volatility in FX markets and, thus, EURUSD.

Tuesday evening US President Donald Trump tweeted that he told his administration’s negotiators around US Treasury Mnuchin to end their current coronavirus stimulus talks with Democrats until after the US presidential election on the 3rd of November.

Here is what happened, as a result:

  • The US-Dollar saw an initial sharp push higher
  • EURUSD dropped, but the currency pair failed to gain further bearish momentum and stabilized around the short-term important support of 1.1680/1700
  • In less than 24 hours, EURUSD traded slightly below 1.1800 again

This underlines that US-Dollar long engagements should be taken, if at all, very cautiously.

That may be especially true since the US-Dollar hasn’t shown any signs of further strength or an acceleration of its recent short squeeze with 10-year US yields pushing to the highest levels since June.

In fact, we consider the implicit USD weakness over recent days as proof of our overall bullish EURUSD take, expecting it to trade around 1.2500 and even higher 6 to 12 months from now.

While we still foresee a stint to below 1.1600 and the currency pair testing the region around a potential mid-term long-trigger around 1.1450/1500, the US-Dollar could see heavier selling pressure, especially if the FED issues a Corona relief package for further monetary stimulus by significantly ballooning its balance sheet beyond the 7 trillion USD, thus, levelling the path back to 1.2000 in the days to come:

EURUSD, “Euro vs. US Dollar”

As we can see in the H4 chart, the asset is finishing the correction within the downtrend. By now, EURUSD has formed several reversal patterns, such as Harami and Shooting Star, close to the channel’s upside border. Possibly, the pair may reverse and resume its decline. In this case, the downside target may be the next support level at 1.1620. At the same time, an alternative scenario says that the instrument may grow to reach 1.1830 before resuming the downtrend.

Fibonacci Retracements Analysis 07.10.2020 (GBPUSD, EURJPY)

Article By RoboForex.com

GBPUSD, “Great Britain Pound vs US Dollar”

As we can see in the H4 chart, after a rebound from 38.2% fibo and a local convergence on MACD, GBPUSD is finishing a correction to the upside at 23.6% fibo. If the price forms a new rising impulse and fixes above the latter level, it may be a signal in favor of a new mid-term rising wave to reach the high at 1.3482. However, the most probable scenario implies further decline to reach 50.0% and 61.8% fibo at 1.2446 and 1.2200 respectively.

GBPUSD_H4
Risk Warning: the result of previous trading operations do not guarantee the same results in the future

The H1 chart shows a more detailed structure of the current decline after the divergence on MACD, which has already reached 38.2% fibo. If the pair breaks the high at 1.3007, the price may continue growing towards the mid-term 50.0% fibo at 1.3079. However, considering that the first descending impulse was pretty strong, the market may continue falling to reach 50.0%, 61.8%, and 76.0% fibo at 1.2841, 1.2802, and 1.2755 respectively. The key downside target is the support – the low at 1.2675.

EURJPY, “Euro vs. Japanese Yen”

As we can see in the H4 chart, after a rebound from 38.2% fibo and convergence on MACD, EURJPY is correcting upwards and has returned to 23.6% fibo but failed to fix above it. Possibly, the pair may yet update its local highs but the most probable scenario implies a new descending wave with the targets at 38.2%, 50.0%, and 61.8% fibo at 122.22, 120.75, and 119.25 respectively.

EURJPY_H4
Risk Warning: the result of previous trading operations do not guarantee the same results in the future

In the H1 chart, the instrument is moving downwards after a divergence on MACD. Despite reaching 38.2% fibo, the asset has chances to reach the high at 124.73, break it, and then continue growing towards mid-term 61.8% and 76.0% fibo at 124.90 and 125.48 respectively. However, taking into account the divergence, the instrument may yet resume falling to reach 50.0%, 61.8%, and 76.0% fibo at 123.55, 123.27, and 122.94 respectively. The key downside target is the low at 122.38.

USD/CAD

Indicators do not give accurate signals: the price is testing 50 MA.

The MACD histogram is in the positive zone, but below the signal line, which gives a weak signal to buy USD/CAD.

Stochastic Oscillator is in the oversold zone, the %K line has crossed the %D line. There are no signals at the moment.

Trading recommendations
  • Support levels: 1.3280, 1.3245, 1.3200
  • Resistance levels: 1.3310, 1.3340, 1.3355

If the price fixes below 1.3280, USD/CAD quotes are expected to fall. The movement is tending to 1.3250-1.3220.

An alternative could be the growth of the USD/CAD currency pair to 1.3340-1.3360.

The USD/JPY currency pair

Technical indicators of the currency pair:
  • Prev Open: 105.714
  • Open: 105.609

  • Day’s range: 105.594 – 105.970

The USD/JPY currency pair shows a positive trend. The trading instrument has overcome and fixed above the key extremes. The round level of 106.00 is the nearest resistance. The 105.80 mark is already a “mirror” support. Further growth of USD/JPY quotes is possible. Today, we recommend paying attention to the publication of the FOMC meeting minutes. Positions should be opened from key levels.

The news feed on Japan’s economy is quite calm.

If the price fixes above the level of 106.00, further growth of USD/JPY quotes is expected. The movement is tending to 106.30-106.50.

An alternative could be a decline in the USD/JPY currency pair to 105.60-105.40.

Article By RoboForex.com

EURGBP, “Euro vs Great Britain Pound”

EURGBP is trading at 0.9070; the instrument is moving below Ichimoku Cloud, thus indicating a descending tendency. The markets could indicate that the price may test the cloud’s downside border at 0.9005 and then resume moving downwards to reach 0.8915. Another signal in favor of further downtrend will be a rebound from the descending channel’s upside border. However, the bearish scenario may be canceled if the price breaks the cloud’s upside border and fixes above 0.9145. In this case, the pair may continue growing towards 0.9235. To confirm further decline, the asset must break the downside border of the Triangle pattern and fix below 0.9020.
