EURUSD Top Down Analysis

GBPUSD Weekly Technical Outlook

In July, GBPUSD market operation on the monthly time frame made a bullish charge at the 1.28630 horizontal resistance area but bears hindered the surge above the area. The result left the July bullish candlestick with a top shadow.

GBPUSD market operation on the weekly time frame saw a pause in southward drive. Presently, market operation is tackling the 78.6 fib retracement area of the most recent bearish swing on the weekly time frame.

GBPUSD price action on the daily time frame went sideways on Friday after bulls challenged the bearish drive below the 78.6 fib retracement area of the most recent bearish swing seen on the weekly time frame. Technically, there is a morning star pattern in play but what price action does on Monday should be watched. If there is no bullish follow-up, we may see a southward rotation.

I may be wrong. Trade safe and prosper.

XAUUSD Weekly Technical Outlook

XAUUSD market operation continued its southward mode last week as it printed a bearish candlestick. A break below the 1901.50 area (blue) would incentivize further southward drive.

Although XAUUSD price action on the daily time frame is presently sideways, the technical impulse favours bears more than bulls. Technically we would see further southward move, significantly breaking below the 1901.50 area (blue), and could target an intra-day demand area or area of market imbalance.

Although XAUUSD price action on the H4 time frame turned sideways during the latter part of Friday, the dominant technical impulse is bearish. Technically, this favours a southward continuation after price action in the early part of the week.

USDJPY Weekly Technical Outlook

USDJPY market operation on the weekly time frame is in a bullish mode. Last week, the market operation printed a bullish candlestick that broke above the area of consolidation that has been in place for three weeks.

USDJPY price action on the daily time frame is bullish. As it is presently near the 145.600/146.600 supply area (red), we may see bulls incentivized for further northward liquidity engineering, which may even target a higher-level supply area before a bearish correction. The dominant trend is bullish.

The immediate technical impulse of USDJPY on the H4 time frame is bullish. Nevertheless, we cannot rule out a southward liquidity sweep to shake out weak hands before a northward continuation.

I may be wrong. Trade safe and prosper.

EURUSD Weekly Technical Outlook

EURSD market operation on the weekly time frame is retesting the 1.10000/1.0830 demand zone (green). The zone was retested last week, the third time in three weeks. Last week’s candlestick closed lower than the previous two weeks’ prints, and we may see further southward push in the early part of this week. The zone aligns with the 50-fib retracement of the recent bearish swing.

EURUSD price action on the daily time frame is ranging at the upper part of the 1.10000/1.0830 demand zone (green) seen on the weekly time frame.

Technically, the zone aligns with the 50-fib retracement of the recent bearish swing on the weekly time frame.

The recent technical pattern of EURUSD price action on the H4 time frame apparently made a northward liquidity sweep in the latter part of last week. This would prepare the ground for a southward market engineering to an area of value, particularly as the dominant trend is bearish.

Trap

GBPUSD Weekly Technical Outlook
