Update 10/20

USD

Even with the disappointing unemployment claims release today, the overall trend of initial unemployment claims is on a downwards trend which supports continuous jobs creation and thus the case of a rate hike by the Fed in December. The dollar rally is likely set to retest the yearly high at 12,300.

AUD/USD

With an upcoming dollar rally and a net loss of jobs in Australia the Aussie-Dollar is set for a sell-off to the 0.7500 support level.
Trade: Entry to sell @ 0.7660 with T/P @ 0.7510 and S/L @ 0.7710
NZD/USD

Being highly correlated to the Aussie Dollar, the Kiwi-Dollar is set for a sell off to the 0.7100 support level.
Trade: Entry to sell @ 0.7200 with T/P at 0.7105 and S/L @ 0.7235
USD/CAD

With no upcoming CAD data, along with Dollar strength the USD/CAD pair is likely to rally to the 1.3300 resistance level, however, strong CAD employment data will continue to weigh in on this pair and a sell-off is to be expected from the 1.3300 level to the downside.
Trade 1: Entry to buy @ 1.3200 with T/P @ 1.3295 and S/L @ 1.3160

Trade 2: Entry to sell @ 1.3310 with T/P @ 1.3150 and S/L @ 1.3360

The final hurdle to cross is the June NFP due this coming Friday - in which only a strongly disappointing report can derail this plan. Strongly disappointing in this context would have to show less than March job growth, with its low number of 98k. Inflation remains on course according to the Fed, and fears that they are falling behind the curve will sustain pressure on the FOMC to hike the Fed Funds rate. Technically the FXCM USDOLLAR has been locked in a falling wedge pattern since December and the reversal from Mondays low has reconfirmed the lower trendline. As the falling wedge approaches narrowing convergence; the FXCM USDOLLAR is facing an imminent breakout during the second quarter - with fundamentals poi...

US Dollar 2016-12-22

Exciting times await as the US Dollar rallied into 14-year highs as US Treasury yields rallied and the Dow Jones hit all-time highs following the most recent Fed DotPlot that charted a three-quarter rate hike during 2017, supported by evidence of Economic recovery accelerating in the US amidst strong GDP growth in the last quarter of 2016, strong job creation with unemployment dropping to a low of 4.6% and the outlook that Trumpenomics is about to spur on inflation when Trump takes office. Slipping by unnoticedly however is weak wage growth and bearish momentum in consumer spending habits and capacity utilization which will likely dampen the outlook from a three-quarter rate hike to a two-quarter rate hike during 2017, and as result the premium US Dollar stands to be corrected by at least 200 points as the market starts realizing the over pricing of the US Dollar. This is not the only risk factor when it comes to the pricing of the US Dollar to watch as free trade agreement ...
