The best support and resistance levels in major and minor Fo

[ad_1]

This week I will begin with my monthly and weekly Forex forecast of the currency pairs worth watching. The first part of my forecast is based upon my research of the past 20 years of Forex prices, which show that the following methodologies have all produced profitable results:

Let us look at the relevant data of currency price changes and interest rates to date, which we compiled using a trade-weighted index of the major global currencies:

For the month of August, I forecasted that the EUR/USD currency pair would decline in value. The result so far is shown below:

Weekly Forecast 14th August 2022

Last week, I forecasted that the NZD/USD currency pair would fall in value over the week, as it made a strong counter-trend price movement over the previous week.

This was a great call, as the NZD/USD fell by 4.26% over the week.

The Forex market saw a slight decrease in directional volatility last week, with 52% of all the important currency pairs or crosses moving by more than 1% in value. Directional volatility is likely to be lower over this coming week as although there are a few key news releases scheduled, we are unlikely to see any with a very strong impact on the market, possibly excepting a surprise in the forthcoming US preliminary GDP data release.

Last week was dominated by relative strength in the US Dollar, and relative weakness in the New Zealand Dollar.

Key Support/Resistance Levels for Popular Pairs

I teach that trades should be entered and exited at or very close to key support and resistance levels. There are certain key support and resistance levels that can be watched on the more popular currency pairs this week.

Currency Pair

Key Support and Resistance Levels

Let us see how trading two of these key pairs last week off key support and resistance levels could have worked out:

USD/JPY

We had expected the level at 132.65 might act as support in the USD/JPY currency pair last week, as it had acted previously as both support and resistance. Note how these “role reversal” levels can work well. The H1 chart below shows how the price rejected this level right at the start of last Monday’s New York session with a doji candlestick, marked by the up arrow signaling the timing of the bullish bounce. This is typically a great time of day to be entering trades in major Forex currency pairs. This trade has been extremely profitable, achieving a maximum positive reward to risk ratio of more than 13 to 1 so far based upon the size of the entry candlestick structure.

EUR/JPY

We had expected the level at 134.97 might act as support in the EUR/JPY currency cross last week, as it had acted previously as both support and resistance. Note how these “role reversal” levels can work well. The H1 chart below shows how the price rejected this level right at the start of last Tuesday’s Tokyo session with a bullish hammer candlestick, marked by the up arrow signaling the timing of the bullish bounce. This is typically a great time of day to be entering trades in Forex currency crosses involving the Japanese Yen. This trade has been nicely profitable, achieving a maximum positive reward to risk ratio of more than 5 to 1 so far based upon the size of the entry candlestick.
