Hey Traders welcome back to the weekly Forex forecast next week is a big week because we got three interest rate decisions as well as non-farm payrolls on Friday and it's fomc on Wednesday out of the US that we really need to be paying attention to this is the big event next Week and I'm going to show you in today's video how I'm looking to play the dollar pairs on this news event next [Music] week okay so if we look at the scores for the coming week you can see the two Markets that are really in play here are the US dollar and the Swiss frank both are above 50% to the upside and these are when we get significant Edge in the markets now I am only focused on risk Off setups once again and I have been all month because it does look like when we look at the markets you can see the Russell has now retraced almost all the way back down to the yearly lows From last year and when we look at other markets like the NASDAQ Composite you can see we are now on the verge of quite big breakdowns in the stock markets and this is what can bring in Risk-off moves not just in the stock market but also in Forex as well so once again I'm going to filter out risk on setups only looking at trading risk off Forex pairs now you may say but John we Just had 4.9% GDP out of the US you can't have a crash or recession or serious risk off with 4.9% GDP in the US however I remind you that GDP is backwards looking it's a lagging piece of data Is telling us what happened in July August and September we know there was no recession during that period and we know the market didn't crash during that period what we're now looking is ahead to Future GDP prints Q4 which we're in q1 next year now the setup that we also have is Very similar in my opinion to the 1981 setup where we had the yield curve inverted and we had inflation at that time going above 7% which makes this cycle actually different from you know 08 2020 2001 and in fact very similar to the 80 and 81 cycle in my opinion and in the 81 cycle we had Q3 GDP come out very similar to what we just had here but instead of 4.9% at 4.3% and The US economy went into a recession straight after you know into Q4 q1 and Q2 of 82 so don't think because we just had a strong GDP print for the last 3 months that we can't go into a More recessionary en en in the US and I do think in fact that is coming and we're likely to see riskof over the next couple of quarters and this is why I've been focused on risk off only setups In Forex so alongside the Swiss frank and the US dollar to the upside I do like the New Zealand dollar to the downside I also like the Australian dollar although it has slightly strengthened so New Zealand shorts are my preference this week versus the dollar and the Swiss frank and I also Aside from that like the Canadian dollar it's neutral but it is actually getting weaker the momentum is to the downside as you can see with the red arrow so what I'm focused on this week is once again mainly the commodity currencies to the short side the New Zealand the Aussie and the cad Versus the safe haven assets of the Swiss frank and the US dollar and something else to notice as well the Japanese Yen has been one of the top shorts in the scorecards for quite a while I've Been filtering it because I don't want to trade risk on and if you short the Japanese Yen that is risk on because in Risk off the Japanese Yen will appreciate but look at the score coming into This week the Yen has botton in the scorecards this is a riskof sign it's actually a sign that we've been lacking over the last month or so where if we are going to get real risk off we should see the Japanese genen strengthen so the fact that yen is now strengthening the scorecards Is a warning of further riskof to come and actually a shift into a more riskof regime in the Forex markets alongside the commodity currencies we will also look at pound and Euro shorts versus the dollar and the Swiss rank but just bear in mind the commodity currency should Underperform you know better shorts in other words than pound Frank pound dollar euro Frank euro dollar next week but we can also look at Euro and pound shorts versus the Frank and the dollar okay so let's have a look at the market starting with crude oil we cover crude oil every Week but this week I don't really like crude oil because crude oil is between a rock and a hard place we should see crude oil have having downward pressure applied to it with a global slowdown risk off regime coming in however if there is an escalation of the war in the Middle East Then we can see kudor spiking in price so it's really a risky short but at the same time it's not a fantastic long either because of the ongoing risks around the war in the Middle East I do favor on balance crude o long positions however I'll probably be avoiding trading this all together Next week so if you are looking at trading this and this was a market that bounced from the lower bound last week did come down test it and we did get a short-term bounce to the upside I would be Looking for the same any pullback would be viewed as an opportunity this week to look for an inra we breakout into the previous high at the 91 area or if we pull all the way back We test this low over here and also the 81 area this would be the second place I'd be looking for a near-term buy opportunity potentially in all but again I personally am unlikely to trade crude All next week I don't think we have great Edge to the upside or the downside anymore in this market okay so moving on to the Swiss frank pairs these are my favorite pairs heading into next week starting with New Zealand Frank and the markets highlighting gold are my favorite markets out Of the favorite markets which are listed so out of all the Frank Pairs and the dollar pairs I do like New Zealand Frank and CAD Frank to the downside the best followed by New Zealand dollar and then US dollar CAD to the upside so coming into this week I am looking further declines in this market last week this was a market highlighted for a potential short from its upper bound or a breakout In week and you can see in last week's video we actually tested the upper bound from last week and we did have a sell off from that area because of this going into this week usually if you get a Test of an upper bound let's say like New Zealand Frank last week what tends to happen is you could push a bit higher but you then tend to get the intra week breakout in that market down to in this Case the py low and the 0.517 so that's what I'm going to be looking out for for New Zealand Frank but if we continue higher just like last week and we pull all the way back and we reach test The low over here and we test the 0.531 100 area this is the second place next week I'd be looking for a near-term short in New Zealand Frank next is CAD Frank now I'm going to be looking for one Of two things heading into next week you can see we had this big momentum sell off and now we're consolidating sideways so any pullback in this market next week into the upper bound perhaps we even Peak through the top here and test the low over here anything into the 0.657 would be Viewed as the opportunity to look for a near-term short if we continue to Trend all the way up into this level that's what I'm going to be looking for a near-term short from this area but if we start To break out intra week so instead of holding this trend holding this trend all the way into the prior low maybe into the 0.6 570 If instead we fail to hold this and we break straight through I'm going to be looking for an inwe breakout to the downside in this market you know dropping down to the 1 hour chart usually that's where I like to look for intra week breakouts down to The 0 point 644 you could say 30 area in this case next is Aussie Frank this was a market highligh in last week's video and we had a really nice sell off from the upper Bound in last week's video And in fact this was a market I traded myself and this was one I actually shared in real time with members and I would like to see this again so when I'm talking about a short from the upper bound Have a look at the price action in Aussie Frank last week because that's exactly the kind of move I'm looking to capture from these upper bounds so any continued pullback in this market is viewed as Opportunity to look for an intra week breakout to the downside I'm going to be looking down to the 0.564 maybe we come through and we test the prior low that would be good but anywhere in this area I'd be looking at potentially booking short-term profits on an INT week breakout or if we hold the trend we hold the trend we pull all the way back into these lows over here and we test the 0.57 90 once again just like over here I would be looking for a near-term shorting opportunity In Aussie Frank next week next is pound Frank this was another Market highlight in last week's video we tested the upper bound and again because of this because we tested this last week I would not Be surprised to see this fail to test the upper bound but instead actually break out in week we do of course have the interest rate decision out of the UK on Thursday so there is plenty of time to Trade this Market you know Monday Tuesday and even Wednesday into the interest rate decision if we continue to pull back though even though we traded into the upper bound last week if we continue to Pull back and we test once again the 1 1030 this is the second place I'd be looking for a near-term short in pound Frank next week and last but not least we have Euro Frank this was another Market Which tested its upper bound last week which suggests we may actually get you know a reversal or a breakdown kind of Monday and Tuesday without testing the upper Bound Again if that's the case I'm going to be looking at an inwe breakout in this market maybe we test the high once again And we break down like this into the 0.9 9460 area or if we just hold this and we continue to Trend higher to Trend higher to Trend higher we trade into you can see there's a nice low here and we Test it on the underside so there's a nice key area of resistance in this area here if we come up and we test this and we're also pushing into the upper bound this is the second place I'd be Looking for a near-term short in Euro Frank we did actually break through the upperbound much harder than we did in the other Frank pairs with Euro Frank last week it's suggestive of some underlying strength and this is also backed up by the fact the euro is actually scoring quite highly so I Do think we can look at Euro Frank and euro dollar you know maybe from the upper bound next week but just bear in mind the New Zealand the cad and the Aussie are going to be better shorts than both the Pound and the Euro heading into next week in fact the Euro shorts are my least favorite because even if they do work they're likely to underperform the other markets that we're looking at okay so moving on to the dollar Pairs and the dollar pairs were also highlighted you know for dollar strength last Week we did get dollar strength but we didn't get any significant moves why because we've got fomc coming up and there wasn't any real money going into the dollar pairs last week so we did get Sell offs but we didn't test any of the upper or lower bounds we just simply kind of drifted higher in the dollar and drifted lower in pairs like New Zealand dollar so coming into next week New Zealand dollar to the downside US dollar CAD are my two favorite markets it's unlikely these Markets are going to do anything until Wednesday so after the interest rate decision on Wednesday I'm going to be looking for one of two two things either we break down from these areas and we get a Selloff on FMC as the dollar rallies in that case I'm going to be looking for a pullback and a follow through trade in New Zealand dollar down to the 0.572 and the second thing I'm going To be looking for because I can either be short this Market or do nothing next week buying New Zealand dollar in other words shorting US Dollars next week is not an option for me so if we just Consolidate and then we get a rally into the upper bound after FMC and we start to see it stall out this is the second place next week I'd be looking for potential short in New Zealand dollar next is Us do CAD again I can either buy this Market or do nothing next week selling this is not an option so I'm going to be looking for the same thing I'm going to be looking for a consolidation Into Wednesday and then if we can get an intra week breakout on the news and start to pull back I'm going to be looking for the second move the follow through into the 1.400 and if we just Continue down continue down we get FMC coming out on Wednesday and we get get a selloff in US dollar CAD if it's very very strong you know I would like to see it stall out first I don't want to get Involved buying something after a news event if it's just going to go straight through like this so I'd like to see it pull back you know stall out and this would be the second place next week I'd Be looking for a near-term buy opportunity in US dollar CAD next is Aussie dollar very very choppy but I do think this gets resolved next week with FMC so any continued pullback into FMC and then a nice strong selloff on frmc like this I'm going to be looking for the consolidation the pullback For the follow through trade into the 0. 6230 and if instead we just drift higher and then maybe we even push higher for whatever reason fomc we test this High let's say I am going to be looking this Would be the second place I'd be looking for a near-term short in Aussie dollar heading into next week next is pound dollar again I prefer the commodity currency short especially New Zealand and uh the Canadian dollar versus the US dollar but we can look at pound dollar and Euro dollar I do think both of these are likely decline as the US dollar pushes higher and remember if you look back to the scorecards when I showed you earlier on the US dollar has for the first time continued Its bullish momentum in the scorecards and this is indicative of a much bigger breakout to come in the US dollar we do have FMC and of course FMC can change things and reverse markets but all things considered the scorecards suggesting even though the US dollar is currently consolidating we are At the point of starting the next leg higher in the US dollar so any pullback in this market and I expect it to do pretty much nothing into FMC if you do get this pull back and test the upper Bound before FMC that would be a good chance to range trade it short it you know before FMC and then be out by FMC because you're making the statement that you don't expect this to really Find any direction to the upside of the downside before FMC so if we pop higher on Monday and we test the upper bounds you could short it you know Monday Tuesday and then into Wednesday's FM but Assuming it does nothing I'm going to be looking for the breakout on FMC any pullback after that is the opportunity to get involved down to the 1.1 1960 and again if we pull back you know even on Monday or earlier this would be the second place I'd be looking for a near-term short and it may be the case again we just consolidate and then we push higher on FMC I'd be looking for it to stall Out you know wait a few hours and then I'd be looking for the short opportunity from this area in pound dollar and last but not least we have Euro again I expect this to do pretty much nothing Into Wednesday I'm going to be looking for the breakout on FMC I'm going to be looking for the pullback and then the short-term int week follow through into the prior low over here at the 1.04 60 or just like the others if we pull back once more and we test this high right in this upper bound over here this is going to be a great place especially you know if we get FC we kind of stall Out this would be the second place I'd be looking for a near-term short in euro dollar next week okay so wrapping up the video with gold and silver and I'm going to be trading these markets given The opportunity reactively next week why do I say that because we all know that we've seen you know gold pushing higher we've seen gold outperforming to the upside what hasn't been mentioned so much is that this coincided with that near-term top in the dollar where the dollar started to consolidate And the problem is you know we had the scorecards peaking for the US dollar it was still bullish but that is signifying that it's likely to go into a bigger consolidation and now we've had the consolidation as you've just seen the scorecards are suggesting that we may be on the next leg up In the dollar if that's the case you know taken into account for FMC as well but if that's the case and we are about to start the next leg higher in the dollar this is going to put downward Pressure on gold and silver that doesn't mean gold can cannot continue to appreciate as a safe haven asset but it's unlikely to appreciate as sharply as it has been with a weaker or consolidating dollar so going into next week what I'm going to do is with gold and silver I don't want to Trade them kind of between the upper and lower bounds next week the opportunities I'm going to be looking for are as follows if we get gold pulling back especially as it's acting as a safe haven Asset you know with what's going on in the Middle East I am going to be looking for a potential long opportunity from the lower bound at the 1960 area this is the opportunity I would look for To the upside in Gold next week now alternatively when we move on to Silver if we instead just push higher in gold and silver and we test the upper bounds if we're getting a strong dollar that is Going to be the opportunity to short silver from the upper bound so to summarize this I'm going to be looking at potentially buying gold from the lower bound I don't want to show short it because Of its Safe Haven asset status and with what's going on in the Middle East but I don't want to be long silver if we get a stronger Dollar in that case I would be looking at shorting silver from The upper bound so here's what I'm looking at in Silvera going into next week if it pulls back and tests the lower bound instead of being long silver with potentially a stronger dollar I would rather buy gold from the lower bound and leave silver alt together because gold has Safe Haven assets Data silver doesn't whereas if we get a stronger dollar and this acts as a headwind in in other words it puts downward pressure on gold and silver if we get both gold and silver testing their upper Bounds this would be the area the 24 handle where I would be looking for a near-term short in silver so to summarize that once again I'm looking to be reactive with gold and silver next week I don't Want to buy silver and I don't want to short gold so if we trade into the lower Bound in gold and silver I would be looking potentially at being long gold and if we trade into the upper bounds In both gold and silver next week I'd be looking reactively for a near-term short opportunity in silver so that is it for me for this week guys as always I hope you enjoyed today's video and if you did why not consider joining us in the room each day where I go through these Markets and the setups that I'm personally looking at with members on a daily basis for over 75 markets in different asset classes including stocks bonds Forex and commodities
Hey Traders welcome back to the weekly Forex forecast going into next week US stocks are on the verge of a major breakdown the risk of this happening is real and this is important for Forex Trading because if this materializes we are going to be seeing risk off moves in the Forex Market Next week so I only want to be focused on risk off setups once again this week I have been warning since the end of September about a potential volatility shock and the risk of this taking Place over the next two weeks is very [Music] High okay so if we have a look at the scores for the coming week you can see the Swiss frank is once again the number one long play and the Swiss frank Was highlighted as the best opportunity last week and the Swiss frank pairs performed fantastically from last week's video heading into this week you can see the setup is basically the same we do have the Swiss frank and the US dollar at the top of the scorecards with the Yen the Aussie the New Zealand the pound and the Euro right down near the bottom so once again going into this week the plan is essentially the same as last week why because I'm only interested in trading risk off setups once again that is Swiss frank and US dollar long plays and I'm going to be filtering Japanese Yen shorts for the same reason I did last week which is that if we get a volatility shock if stocks start to break down in any meaningful way next week or the week after we are likely to See a flight safety in the end I do not want to be on the wrong side of it so once again going into this week I am focused on Aussie New Zealand especially versus The Swiss frank to the downside And also Aussie and New Zealand versus the dollar to the downside and on top of that I'm also once again going to be looking at the pound and the euro versus the US dollar and versus The Swiss[Music] frank okay so let's have a look at the markets themselves starting with crude o crude o poses the same dilemma this week as last week which is this in a risk-off event crude oil will be hammered however because of the ongoing situation in the Middle East this actually Has the ability to cause a spike in crude oil as well so there are catalysts that could actually cause either a spike in crude oil or a sell-off in crude oil it makes this not an attractive asset To be short-term trading next week in my opinion however on balance if I was going to be trading this and I probably won't but if I was then I would be looking really I would say only at Long positions so any pullback in this market is viewed next week as a potential opportunity albeit not a fantastic one as it currently stands in my opinion to look for intra week breakouts into the 95 handle and this previous High over here or the second place I would be looking for those of you looking to trade this asset next week would be from the 84 level this is where I'd be looking For a short-term buy opportunity if we trade into this area in crude oil next week moving on to the Forex pairs Aussie Frank is once again going into next week my favorite opportunity to the downside this was a market that performed fantastic last week and was highlighted as one Of the best opportunities in last week's video so once again any pullback in this market is simply viewed as an opportunity like last week to look for an intra week breakout to the downside down To 0.556 and of course all of these setups here are risk off setups if we see a bigger breakdown in stocks all of these should benefit from that and we should avoid being on the wrong side of Any big sell off in stocks next week or the week after simply by trading the riskof setups that we have here the second place next week I would be looking for an opportunity is if we can pull Back and test the 0.570 if we fail to break out so we just bounce and we just continue to correct and there's no breakout to the downside 0.570 is the second place next week I'd be looking for a Shortterm sell opportunity in Aussie Frank next is New Zealand Frank and this was another really nice Market highlighted to the downside last week once again any pullback in this market is simply viewed look at this momentum to the downside any correction here is viewed as an opportunity a Gift to start to look for potential breakouts in week down to the 0.512 or if we continue to hold this trend hold this trend pull back and test the 0.527 this the second place I would be looking to Essentially sell the rip in New Zealand Frank next week for a short-term sell opportunity next is p Frank another Market highlighted in last week's video which performed really really well to the downside any continued pullback is viewed and you can see look at the momentum in this here's The correction and notice how we had the momentum last week from this breakout this was something that was highlighted this kind of consolidation a little bit of a descending triangle pattern this is kind of known as we get the momentum momentum precedes price we get the pullback and Then we sell off exactly the same again we've got this momentum pullback and this is a market once again I'm going to be looking for po potential breakouts to the downside into if we get these Opportunities the 1.750 and if we hold this and we bounce and we bounce we pull back and we start to retest the underside in this area the 1.95 is the second place next week I'd be looking for a Short-term sell opportunity in pound Frank and the final Frank per here is Euro Frank now just bear in mind that we do have an ECB decision next week an interest rate decision out of the Euro zone so The euro pairs are unlikely to do much leading into this and in fact if we start to get Euro Frank testing its upper bound you know Monday or Tuesday this could actually set up a really nice opportunity to range trade this just short it before the interest rate decision and be out By the interest rate decision why because very often markets will hold these ranges before big news events you don't really see big directional moves before these interest rate decisions so if we get a pullback and test the upper bound you know even Monday or Tuesday this should Give us a nice opportunity before the interest rate decision itself so any pullback is viewed as an opportunity to look for bearish breakouts but bear in mind it's unlikely to significantly break out before the interest rate decision so on the interest rate decision if we break Down that's going to be the opportunity we break down we we pull back and then we get this follow through after the interest rate decision into the 0.938 or if we hold this range and we pull back beforehand the second place I'd be looking for a short-term sell opportunity especially we Come back and test this high is going to be the 0.952 this is the second place next week I'll be looking for a short-term sell opportunity in Euro Frank just bear in mind with the Euro pairs that ECB decision next week moving on to the dollar Pairs and these were markets highlighting last Week's video but we just kind of Consolidated the dollar didn't do much and notice I do think that this really proves what we were looking at last week in terms of the Swiss frank being not just strong in the scorecards but getting stronger and therefore highlighted as the best opportunity and The dollar which although it has absolute strength is actually peaking in the scorecards we saw that red arrow earlier on when we looked at the scores suggesting that we're in a larger consolidation so although we should be looking to be bullish you know you can see this Market kind of lack momentum And it may take a little longer for the dollar to continue its breakout to the upside that is why going into next week I do like the dollar but only second to the Swiss frank pairs once again so any Pullback in this market Market this week is simply viewed as an opportunity to look for an intra week breakout down to the 0.620 and if we hold this and we just continue to Trend higher just Trend higher Perhaps even pushing through this and testing the high over here this is the second place next week I'd be looking for a shortterm sell opportunity in Aussie dollar next is New Zealand dollar now this is a market that has really started to break down and I do think we're going to see Further declines in this market any pullback in this market is simply viewed as an opportunity to look for this kind of breakout in the direction of the trend that we're looking at here and then A sell off into a follow through into the 0.573 area you could say and also if we hold this and we continue to pull back and we test these highs here this would be another really good place see We've got a high here and a high here if we push into this Zone and we test potentially even both of these that's going to be a great place next week to look for a short-term sell opportunity In New Zealand dollar next is pound dollar now notice pound dollar and Euro and not highlighted in Gold that's because in the event of a risk off move in stocks commodity currencies will suffer the most against the Swiss frank and the dollar the pound and the Euro will also move down against The dollar and the Swiss frank if we get risk off but it's the commodity currencies that get hammered the most and these are not just commodity currencies but they are rated as the best shorts anyway heading into next week so a really nice setup here because we can trade risk off based On the fact we would be trading this anyway and at at the same time if we get a bigger breakdown in stocks those setups will benefit so it really is a nice setup going into next week any pullback In this market next week is simply viewed as an opportunity to look for bearish reversals down to the 1 you could say 9 let's say 1.1 19750 and if we hold this and we pull back and especially if We come up and test this high and this turns into a big a b and see and we test this High over here this would be a great opportunity in this area at this other high over here this previous High To start to look for a near-term short opportunity in pound dollar and the final dollar pair is euro dollar now euro dollar isn't as appealing to me as the other markets next week because we have That interest rate decision so it's unlikely to do much heading into next week however if we get the interest rate decision and we start to see this correcting beforehand and then we break down like this you know probably halfway down towards the Target in this low that's the opportunity to look For a pullback after the interest rate decision maybe even the day after for a near-term short into the prior low and the 1.46 so because of the ECB meeting later on in the week I do prefer Aussie New Zealand especially versus the Frank and then the pound versus the dollar and The Frank but I'm also going to be keeping euro dollar euro Frank on my radar next week and the final Forex pair we're going to look at is CAD Frank now why look at CAD Frank because when we Look at the scorecards the cad is kind of bullish to neutral and the Frank is kind of bullish why trade to two kind of bullish currencies when we can trade you know something like the Aussie or The New Zealand versus The Swiss frank well we have an interest rate decision out of Canada on Wednesday so I'm really looking at the cad Frank setup here purely after the interest rate decision comes out CAD Frank to the downside is also riskof so what I want to see next week is If we get a negative reaction from the Canadian dollar the Swiss frank is going to be the long currency that I would like to short the cadat in other words you know my favorite pair would be CAD Frank to the downside in the event that we get a negative reaction from the Canadian dollar or we get a dovish rate statement or even decision so this is purely going to be after the boc it's an Interest rate decision set up we may not get it if we get strength from the interest rate decision out of the Canadian dollar I'm just going to leave this all together this is purely if we get weakness from the Canadian dollar any pullback in this market would be viewed as the opportunity To look for a bearish reversal so I want to see this basically correcting consolidating maybe even pulling back into this area and then a selloff on the interest rate decision itself the market is unlikely to do anything between Monday and the interest rate decision so just bear that in mind But if we get the interest rate decision we get the sell off like this this is going to be the follow-through setup I'm going to be looking at to the downside in CAD Frank next week down to the 0.644Okay so wrapping up the video with gold and silver both gold and silver did rally last week and gold was a market highlighted the upside last week after getting that flight to safety that risk Off move on the Friday over here that was the sign alert we need to close and reverse this even if we're going to take a small loss as I did on this market during that Friday this is something we Need to get out of and start to close and reverse our bias essentially so coming into this week I do once again favor gold to the upside although I still have a kind of bullish bias on the dollar I do think that we are seeing this kind of flight safety quality in gold and I would not want to be short gold so heading into next week any pullback in this market is viewed as an opportunity to look For bullish breakouts I'm going to be looking up towards the 2030 area as a Max profit taking Zone we get into this area this is where I'd be looking for any short-term opportunities of course not looking or talking about longer term buying opportunities I'm talking about a short-term trade Next week the 2030 is the area I'd be looking to exit any of those short-term trades and if we hold this and we hold this and we bounce and we pull back especially if we test this High over here Kind of broken resistance turning support in the 1930 area this is the second place next week i' would be looking to potentially buy gold on the dip for a short-term buying opport unity in this Market next week next is silver now I do prefer gold because out of the two of them gold is the asset that really has that flight safety quality silver we have seen it rally but the problem is With a stronger dollar if the dollar starts to turn higher I mean don't forget last week the dollar just went nowhere and this allowed this helped gold and helped silver to push higher but especially silver you know silver May struggle to go higher because it just doesn't have that flight Safety quality that gold does so out of these two I do favor gold longs to the upside next week however on balance any pullback in this market is viewed as a potential opportunity to look for bullish breakouts into the 2430 area and if we continue to pull back continue to pull back and We test the 2230 this the second place next week I'd be looking for a shortterm buy opportunity in silver just bear in mind one thing to really keep in your mind here is if we get a serious Riskof event you know we see stocks breaking down and volatility spiking silver is likely to suffer in that scenario hence why if I'm going to be trading one of these two next week I would prefer It to be gold because again like I said you know gold has that safe haven status so silver was a market that did actually trade into its upper bound last week I once again would not want To be short silver this week but I can't stress enough if we do get a riskof event you could be on the wrong side of that if you are looking to be long silver so personally I'd rather filter silver Longs next week and focus only on gold Longs if I'm going to trade either gold or silver if the opportunity arises so that is it for me for this week guys as always I hope you enjoyed today's Video and if you did why not consider joining us in the room each day where I go through these markets and the setups that I'm personally looking at with members on a daily basis for over 75 markets in different asset classes including stocks bonds Forex and commodities oh
Hey Traders welcome back to the weekly Forex forecast last week we saw the dollar correcting and it is still in a consolidation however on Thursday and Friday we saw the dollar rally in sharply why because on Thursday we had hotter than expected inflation data out of the US and On Friday we had hotter than expected inflation expectations out of the US so going into this week although the dollar is consolidating I do still like dollar long plays to the upside but it's the Swiss frank that's really standing out as the best Market to be trading in Forex This week [Music] so if you have a quick look at the scores for the coming week you can see it's the Swiss frank which is sitting pretty at the top of the scorecards here and not only is it The strongest in absolute terms it's above the crucial 50% mark this is where we really start to see out performance in these currencies and in these markets and it's also getting stronger so Swiss frank longplays are absolutely my number one Play heading into this week and my number one Forex pair would be Aussie Frank to the downside because we have those same characteristics in the Aussie it's below 50 which is the crucial pivot point at which we really start to see under performance in these markets below 50 and it's getting weaker alongside that I do also like New Zealand dollar versus the Swiss frank and also we're going to be looking at both the Euro and the pound which are bearish to neutral and neutral versus The Swiss frank I do think they are setting Up quite nicely as well now we're not going to be looking at the Japanese Yen why because although the Japanese yen is one of the better shorts in the scorecards the problem is the risks around volatility shock this month as we've been discussing in previous videos the vix was up 20% At one point yesterday and it does suggest there could be a risk of a volatility shock over the next two weeks as I've been highlighting all the way back in September actually was the first time I highlighted this saying to you guys beware of a potential volatility shock so because of That I'm still just trading defensively in the sense that I'm really just focusing on markets that are risk off so in the event that something happens and we get a volatility shock I will be on the right side of them and avoid being on the wrong side of something serious which is A risk on trade basically going wrong so because of that only reason I am filtering out Yen shorts once again this week but I wouldn't want to buy the Yen either because if there is no volatility Shock and no flight safety then the Yen actually is not a very good buy so the yen is off my list because of this and alongside the Swiss frank I'm once again going to be looking at the US dollar To the upside even though you can see the score is actually getting weaker and this is a sign that we're likely in a bigger consolidation or a bigger correction so after the Swiss frank pairs which are my favorite I do like uh Aussie dollar to the downside this week New Zealand dollar to The downside plus we'll also be looking at euro dollar to the downside and pound dollar to the downside okay so let's have a look at the markets this week starting with crude oil this was a Market I highlighted to the downside and you can see the Gap up on the events taking place in the Middle East right into the area where last week I was looking for potential short opportunities and you can see that this did actually sell off nicely from here came down and Clos the Gap so it was a very good opportunity in here this didn't translate over to oil stocks as well as the commodity itself which you can see really nicely closed the gap before rallying so going into this Week here's the dilemma with crude o it's the same dilemma really as the Japanese yen is that West stop between a rock and a hard place because I really only want to focus on risk off trades Which is crude o to the downside so any pullback in this market would be viewed as the opportunity to start to look for a selloff into the A2 area or a pullback into the 93 area however here is the Problem we know what the problem is the problem is on any escalation in the Middle East we can see all spiking like it did on Friday in anticipation of a land offensive into the Gaza Strip by Israel This is why we saw oil rally on Friday and it's why we saw gold rally which we're going to look at later on in the video so the dilemma here is that the riskof trade is to the short side and crude o Is actually setting up as a good short but if you get involved in a short and there's an escalation in the Middle East this thing is going to spike higher potentially so for that reason I'm going To be sitting out crude all I just think there's too many risks around crude oil going into next week we don't have to trade it there are other markets to trade okay so let's have a look at The Forex pairs starting with Aussie Frank this is my favorite Market going into next week and you can see last week we actually gapped down we Consolidated and this is where we're talking about pullback and we broke straight through into the max profit taking Zone and actually through It and this is suggesting this week actually we should be looking for follow through because this momentum to the downside this is a market that really exceeded the probabilities priced into the downside last week so I really like Aussie Frank and a previous low right over here sits right in The new Max profit taking zone so any pullback in this market is viewed as an opportunity to look for intra week bearish reversals and breakouts down to the 0.561 100 or if we hold here and we Bounce and we pull all the way back and maybe even test the underside over here this would be the second place to 0.576 that I'd be looking for a near-term short in Aussie Frank next week The second Swiss frank pair I like is New Zealand Frank and all of these markets but especially New Zealand Aussie because their commodity currency all of these markets will underperform or should underperform the Swiss frank in a riskof event so if we're looking at Aussie Frank and New Zealand Frank especially these two should underperform the Swiss frank even without a risk-off event but if there is one if there's a volatility shock over the next week or two weeks then Aussie and New Zealand should actually underperform to the downside even over and above Euro and the pound And that's why these two are highlighted in gold as two of my favorite markets heading into next week so any pullback in New Zealand France R and you can see it's really really steep this sell off So I would like to see a correction consolidation to get a better price any pullback is viewed as the opportunity to look for bearish breakouts down to 0.524 and if we hold and we bounce and We pull all the way back the 0.538 is the second place I'd be looking for a shortterm kind of sell the rip opportunity so instead of on a breakout on a kind of pullback would be the 0.538 for a Near-term short opportunity in New Zealand Frank next week next is Euro Frank now Euro Frank like Aussie Frank was a market I highlighted in last week's video to the downside and we did have a massive sell-off and you can see in last week's video we did kind of gap down we had a Very small pullback and then we traded into the profit taking Zone we kind of held it but at the end of the week when we had that kind of flight safety in Gold when we saw crude dool spike in We saw stock selling off we also saw that flight safety in the Swiss frank you know Euro Frank to the downside you can see the momentum driving Swiss frank to the upside against Euro Frank in other words Euro Frank to the downside and that is indicative gain of momentum and further Declines this week so any pull back in this market is viewed as an opportunity to look for a breakout so we're really looking for two things each week either intra week breakouts down into the 0.942 Or if it holds and there is no breakout and it trades all the way back and maybe we test this low here 0.956 that's the second place on the pullback I'd be looking for a near-term short opportunity in Euro Frank and the final Frank pet is pound Frank another Market highlighted to the Downside in last week's video as a good short and we did gap down and we actually Consolidated and then traded into the profit taking Zone and very similar to Euro Frank we held it until we got the Flight safety on Friday gold up Swiss frank down stocks down Etc and don't forget Forex markets are used in top down macro Frameworks as leading indicators alongside commodities for equities so when we look at the NASDAQ you know potentially posting another lower high and if it does break The previous low this is when you can start to see real sell-offs and capitulations when you get that kind of technical reversal but is that going to happen or is the NASDAQ going to bounce higher are we going to see stocks going higher well this is the question everyone's asking but the Forex Markets here are telling you that this is risk off and this is probably just the start of it because that is the first piece of momentum we have to the downside when you look at the flight safety In Gold it's telling you that stocks are very much at risk of breaking down when you look at some of the leading benchmarks like the Russell which is you know made up of small caps it's cyclical in The sense that it's more exposed to the business cycle so it tends to lead other benchmarks it's already broken down quite substantially more than the NASDAQ which is currently right at that point where it could potentially go either way and then you look at the Cosby another leading Benchmark Already breaking down as well so there's real risk here over the next two weeks that we get this kind of volatility shock so going into next week any pullback once again in pal Frank is setting Up as a great opportunity to look for intra week breakouts down to the 1.84 and if we don't break out and we fail to break out and we pull back and we start to test lows over here the 1.150 we could Say that is the place I'd be interested in selling on a pool back pound Frank to the downside next week okay so moving on to the dollar pairs my two favorite Aussie dollar New Zealand dollar and the Fact that the Australian dollar is at the bottom of the scorecards and the New Zealand dollar is not far behind is in and of itself especially with the Swiss Rank and the US dollar at the top That is telling you there is a riskof regime kicking into Forex and this is going to play out in other markets as well so going into next week any pullback in Aussie dollar is viewed as An opportunity to look for bearish reversals and breakouts in a week into the 06200 or if we fail to break out and we pull back and maybe we test these lows over here you see very mini Head and Shoulders this would be the area I'd be interested in selling Aussie Dollar on a pullback heading into next week next is New Zealand dollar now New Zealand dollar has had a really nice selloff last week and going into this week this is one of my favorite markets to the downside any pullback or Consolidation is viewed as the opportunity to look for intra week breakouts to the downside into the 0.58 or if we hold this and we pull back and test the 0.598 this is the area I'd be looking to sell This on a potential pullback next week next is euro dollar we've already started to break out of this consolidation of this correction and so going into next week any pullback is viewed as the opportunity to look for bearish breakouts intra week down to the 1.03 180 or if we pull Back and we retest the highs over here in the 1.06 area this is where I'd be interested in shorting euro dollar next week on a pullback and the final dollar pair is pound dollar again very similar to Euro dollar we've got the selloff so any pullback is simply viewed as an opportunity to drop down and look for bearish breakouts in week into the 1.200 and if we fail to break down in week and Instead we just pull all the way back especially if we retest the high this would be the second place I'd be looking at potentially shorting pound dollar on a pullback in this case next week okay so wrapping up the video with gold and silver and gold is a market that been highlighting To the downside in previous videos and it has actually performed very nicely to the downside and again last week I was looking for shorts in gold in fact I took a short in gold and I got my fingers burnt on this because everything was looking pretty normal and there was nothing out Of the ordinary in Gold last week until Friday on Friday we had this monster move which was priced on a daily basis as having a less than 1% chance and the entire weekly move last week was priced As essentially there was a less than 5% chance of that happening and yet it happened on Friday so very often you don't tend to see this you don't tend to see improbable things happening in markets unless there's a catalyst usually there has to be a catalyst and what was the Catalyst it was The threat of a land Invasion by Israel into Gaza this weekend which other entities such as hisb and Iran have said would or could incite an escalation in the conflict and this is why we Saw a flight safety and we've seen this even in the Swiss frank we saw on Friday the Swiss frank rallying we saw gold also rallying you know oil spiking Etc so coming into this week there's two Things here one the dollar is strong and it is actually one of my favorite long plays therefore that is actually a negative to gold and silver but with gold we are seeing Safe Haven qualities coming to the Forefront so I wouldn't want to short gold going into this week so coming into This week because the dollar has peaked in the scorecards and could be set for a bigger correction potentially I would consider because of the safe haven qualities of gold I would consider potential Longs so any pullback I don't think it's the best Market because there is an Argument you know for correction or downside one because we've had such a sharp move this usually PS or corrects and also a stronger dollar also is a negative for gold so it's not my favorite Market but on balance out of these two I would potentially look for gold to the upside next week I wouldn't short it so any pullback is viewed as the opportunity to look for potentially a bullish breakout especially if we see the US dollar start to soften and continue to correct and I would be Looking up towards the1 1980 in Gold next week if we hold this and we pull all the way back and retest the 1880 area this is the second place I'd be looking to potentially buy gold on the dip Heading into next week and finally we have silver now silver did actually also see quite a strong move at the end of Friday yesterday however you know silver doesn't really have the outright Safe Haven qualities that gold does so it didn't have anywhere near you know comparatively the rally It is actually a more volatile asset but it didn't have you know the scope and size of the rally that took place on Friday like it did in Gold so going into this week There's a couple of issues with Silver I don't really like it and I'm unlikely to trade it because the dollar is bullish I do still like dollar Longs again if we get a deeper correction in the dollar you know and we don't Get a volatility shock over the next couple of weeks in fact the dollar just starts to soften then you know gold to the upside yes and silver to the upside perhaps but I don't think this is A fantastic Market on balance I would still prefer to short silver because it does not have you know real outright Safe Haven asset status so any continued pullback in this market and I would be looking at this potentially you can see this is essentially setting up as a big bare flag I Would be looking at this to break out and I would be potentially looking at shorts down to the 2170 and if we pull all the way back and retest the high the 2370 is what I'd potentially consider although probably won't look at trading this at all but I would consider potentially shorting This from the 2360 so just to reiterate you know there are problems around silver we cover silver every week I would prefer to leave silver out and if you are going to get involved in you Know gold or silver for me that would be gold and potentially gold to the upside but again I still don't think these two are fantastic markets heading into this week because of the fact the Dollar is strong so that is it for me for this week guys as always I hope you enjoyed today's video and
