USD/JPY Side Way then increaseThe USD/JPY has temporarily halted its two-day upward trend, possibly due to optimistic economic data from China. The spot price traded lower, near 149.80 during the European session on Wednesday. However, the USD/JPY is benefiting from positive retail sales figures from the United States, supported by higher interest rates from the US Treasury. Market observers may be eager to understand the trajectory of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy, especially after the dovish remarks from officials. Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond President Thomas Barkin believes that the current policy has limitations, reflecting uncertainty about the upcoming FOMC meeting in November. In terms of technical analysis, the USD/JPY may experience short-term sideways movement in the near future before forming a flag pattern and breaking out of that range. My target expectation is at 151.10.

This upward trend is expected to continue with a projected increase to $1915.

Old vertex test thanks to the increase in channelDear friends, Gold continues to rise as predicted, thanks to the favored safe haven during times of volatility. In a recent development, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell hinted at the possibility of raising interest rates. However, the market does not see this as a tightening statement. It seems that there are too many external risks impacting the economy. This will support the price of gold. In the near future, "Any data showing a decline in the US economy will further support the price of gold. A recession will force the Fed to lower rates, pushing gold up to $2,100." The strong positive trend in the 1D direction indicates that gold will continue to rise significantly, with my target at $2,017 and then the highest peak at $2,065.

GBPUSD looks at the Fed's Powell for new motivationDear friends, Currently, after a quiet Asian trading session, GBP/USD has risen higher to the 1.2200 area on Wednesday morning in Europe. The technical outlook still does not show a forming upward trend, but there could be additional gains if this currency pair starts using the support level at 1.2200. If GBP/USD fails to surpass the 1.2200 level, sellers may still be interested and cause this currency pair to retreat to the 1.2130 and 1.2100 levels.

GOLD - Deep reduction, long analysisHello dear friends! Today, the price of gold has made a slight adjustment and is currently trading at $1911 since the time of writing, a decrease of $18.48 or -0.96% for the day. Last week, gold witnessed its best weekly increase since mid-March due to growing safe-haven demand amidst the ongoing Israel-Hamas military conflict. In the current politically unstable situation, investors are flocking to gold. Additionally, the US declaration of tightening sanctions on Russia's crude oil exports on Friday has caused oil prices to rise to $90 per barrel. I believe that oil prices will continue to rise, and the role of gold as a safe haven will help counter inflation, which is beneficial for gold. For these reasons, gold buyers will continue to drive the price of gold higher in the near future, with a slight test of previously broken resistance levels before the upward momentum resumes. The expected increase is around $1952 - $1960.

Analyze and update GBPUSD new weekHello dear friends! After several days of price increase, GBPUSD has returned to its downward trend. It is currently trading at 1.2167 as of the time of writing, with a short-term recovery. The adjustment of the US 10-year Treasury bond yield lower, after increasing by over 3% on Thursday, has made it difficult for the USD to appreciate based on recent gains. Due to this reason, buyers will continue to push this currency pair higher, with an expected increase between 1.2308 - 1.2415, supported by the trendline and strong support level at 1.2121.

USDJPY decreased, waiting for new data from Japanese CPIHello dear traders! Currently, the USD/JPY pair has touched a level near 148.80 but quickly recovered to a wider trading range around 149.50 as the Bank of Japan (BoJ) is expected to announce inflation forecasts for fiscal years 2023 and 2024 earlier than anticipated. Forecast: The hope for intervention from the Japanese government in the FX market is diminishing. The Japanese government is concerned about continuing to sell off the Japanese Yen and believes that these unstable actions are the cause of this. Meanwhile, the S&P500 futures contract has seen a significant decline in European trading session, reflecting a risk-accepting sentiment in the market due to deepening tensions in the Middle East. The US Dollar Index (DXY) has dropped from the 106.50 level as policymakers at the Federal Reserve support keeping interest rates unchanged in November. Therefore, this is a negative factor affecting the USD/JPY pair.

EUR/USD price analysis: Achieving modest increaseHello dear friends! Today, the EURUSD experienced modest gains during the Asian trading session on Monday. It is evident that the recovery of this currency pair is supported by a weaker US dollar (USD). As of the time of writing, EUR/USD is trading at 1.0525. From the technical analysis chart: As mentioned, immediate resistance for EUR/USD can be seen at 1.0558. Additional price increase filters will appear at 1.0578. Any further buying trades above this level will witness a recovery towards the key barrier at 1.0600, describing a psychological round number and the highest level of October 6th. Moving further north, the major currency pair will challenge the next resistance at 1.0640 (high of October 12th), followed by 1.0655. On the other hand, 1.0477 serves as the initial support level for EUR/USD. The next dispute to monitor is near the lowest level on October 4th at 1.0450. The next stop is in the range of 1.0400-1.0405, representing a psychological sign and the highest level of October 17th. A decisive break below this level will result in a decline towards 1.0330 (low of November 16th, 2022).

EURUSD continues to fall into the fieldHello dear traders! Currently, the EUR/USD is holding higher but still below the 1.0600 level in Asian trading on Wednesday. The risk-off sentiment is dominating and weighing on the US Dollar, particularly in the face of optimistic data from China. Lagarde's speech and EU/US data are being closely watched. On the 4-hour chart, the price is well supported and is currently trading around the 1.0574 level. The current resistance level is around 1.0600, and breaking above that level will attract attention towards 1.0630. Closing the day above that level will pave the way for further gains. On the other hand, a drop below 1.0540 will weaken the outlook for the Euro, causing it to decline towards 1.0500.

GBP/USD extends the reduction of 1,2170, waiting for his CPIHello dear traders! Currently, GBP/USD continues to incur losses for the second consecutive day, trading below the level of 1.2160 in the Asian session on Wednesday. Optimistic economic data from the United States puts pressure on the currency pair. GBP/USD reversed after rising to the area of 1.2200, where the recent downtrend's resistance level is located, confirming the significance of this resistance level. Meanwhile, the 4-hour chart shows a consolidation of the downward momentum. On the other hand, the level of 1.2130 is considered an immediate support level. Closing below that level within the 4-hour timeframe could attract more sellers. In that scenario, GBP/USD may find temporary support at 1.2100 (a psychological level) before targeting 1.2050 (the end point of the recent downtrend). If GBP/USD rises above 1.2200 and confirms that level as support, it could potentially extend its gains towards 1.2250 and 1.2300.

GBPUSD is expected to decrease slightlyHello everyone! GBP/USD closed the last two trading days of the previous week in the negative zone. Although this currency pair attempted a modest recovery at the beginning of Monday, it failed to gain momentum. Technical analysis: GBP/USD maintains a slight upward trend, with prices fluctuating around 1.2168 and decreasing by 0.37% in the day. If safe-haven flows continue to dominate the market in the second half of the day, the USD may remain strong against its counterparts, making it difficult for GBP/USD to gain traction. Positive changes in market sentiment could potentially push GBP/USD higher, but investors may be cautious about betting on improved stability in risk sentiment.

USD/JPY increasing traction above 149.60Currently, the USD/JPY pair is holding steady at 149.60 during the early European trading hours on Tuesday. The demand for the US Dollar (USD) and the recovery of US Treasury bond yields have provided some support for this currency pair. Investors are awaiting the US Retail Sales data on Tuesday for fresh impetus. The monthly figures are expected to increase by 0.3% in September. Looking ahead, market participants will keep an eye on US Retail Sales, Industrial Production, and the Fed's speaker on Tuesday. On Wednesday, Japan's trade data will be released, followed by the National Consumer Price Index (CPI) report on Friday. These figures may provide clear direction for the USD/JPY pair.

USDJPY continues to turn up the price?Hello dear traders! Last week, USDJPY broke out of its upward trend and started moving sideways. It is currently trading at 149.51. However, there are still no signs of USDJPY reversing its direction. This is evident as the currency pair is in an upward trend and is gradually approaching a strong resistance level at 150.000. It is expected to retest the support level before the potential for further price appreciation. There is a significant breakout potential if UJ surpasses this resistance level.

Latest update of GBPUSD todayCurrently, GBP/USD has struggled to maintain its upward momentum at around 1.2300 levels at the start of Thursday and entered a consolidation phase. In the latter part of the day, the US inflation data for September could impact the pricing of the US Dollar (USD) and drive the action of this currency pair. As of the time of writing, GBP/USD is trading at 1.2303. In line with that, the cautious comments from Federal Reserve officials this week have weakened the USD against its counterparts. Investors assess a 72% probability that the US central bank will keep its policy interest rates unchanged until 2023. In the event that the core Consumer Price Index (CPI) is around 0.5%, the market may reassess the Fed's interest rate outlook and help the USD regain its traction. On the other hand, risk sentiments could continue to dominate market activity on soft print and allow GBP/USD to continue its ascent based on its weekly gain.

Weekend gold analysisHello dear friends! Currently, gold continues to show positive growth with prices reaching a high of $1886, the highest in two weeks. This upward trend is driven by increasing expectations of higher interest rates from the Federal Reserve. This data further strengthens the likelihood of the Fed tightening monetary policy. As a result, US Treasury bond yields surged overnight, leading to a significant recovery of the US Dollar (USD) due to short positions being covered. This USD recovery is seen as a crucial factor putting downward pressure on gold prices. However, the downtrend established from the peak of $2050 on the 1D chart has yet to be broken. With this downward momentum, gold may still continue to rise during this phase, with a potential increase to $1912 before the threat of a price decline is reassessed.
