GBP USD Fundamental Analysis
The GBP USD pair had a pretty strong day yesterday as the pound is only one of the very few currencies that seems to be capable of holding on by itself whenever there is dollar strength. There seems to be some intrinsic strength built within the pound and the reason for that could be the continuing good economic data from the UK. This has been holding up the pound and that is the reason why the corrections have been shallow and have been met with some quick bounces.
Today is going to be a key day for the GBP USD pair as we have the BOE rate announcement and the policy meeting minutes and we also have the quarterly inflation report from the UK as well. The rate is expected to be kept on hold but the BOE will have to act out a tough balancing act as it needs to take care of the economy and also ensure that the impact of the Brexit doesn’t hit the economy too hard. With the government, yet unclear on how exactly the whole Brexit process is going to pan out, the markets would be expecting the BOE to help out and do the needful in a strong manner to give out some confidence to the market in the pound. It remains to be seen whether that is addressed in the statement and the inflation report. The pair is in a key area now and these data would be valuable in determining the short-term direction of the pound.

EUR USD Fundamental Analysis
It’s been a very untidy past 24 hours for the EURUSD with the pair not knowing where to go and how to go about in a specific direction. It has been trying for a week or so to break through the glass ceiling at around the 1.0800 region and the best attempt at that region was made yesterday when it went as high as 1.0828 but it had to beat a hasty retreat as large scale selling started at that point and it fell back below 1.0800 and it trades just above 1.0760 as of this writing.
Its the NFP day today, probably one of the most important days in every month where a huge amount of volatility is bound to be witnessed. The last few employment reports have become especially important as the Fed has made it clear that if the incoming data continues to be good,
Apart from the NFP today, we have the average wage earnings data as well and the non-manufacturing PMI data from the US. We still believe that the dollar will ultimately strengthen and we do believe that the employment report today would come out strong to help support the dollar.

Oil bounces off November lows, but bloated U.S. stockpiles pressure market
Oil prices recovered on Thursday from losses chalked up the session before, but the market remained under pressure as bloated U.S. crude inventories and rising output dampen OPEC-led efforts to curb global production.
Brent crude futures, the international benchmark for oil, were at $50.95 per barrel at 0231 GMT, up 31 cents, or 0.6 percent, from their last close. That came after Brent briefly dipped below $50 a barrel on Wednesday for the first time since November.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were up 35 cents, or 0.7 percent, at $48.39 a barrel, after testing support at $47 overnight.
Analysts said Brent had found technical support around $50 a barrel and was being pushed up as traders took new long positions after crude hit multi-month lows overnight.
Despite the bounce, traders said the market remained under pressure, largely due to a big U.S. inventory and doubts that an effort led by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to cut output was reining in a global fuel supply overhang.

Best way to Identify the Forex Market future movement
Technical analysis is the science or skill of forecasting of the future movements of the price using the past movements and data.
Obviously, the past movements cannot guarantee the future movements and so technical analysis is not a hundred percent accurate and surefire forecasting but if you learn the technical analysis properly, you can make more correct predictions and so you will be in profit at the end.
Technical analysis rules, techniques and tools are 99% the same in the stock and forex market. So if you learn technical analysis, you can use it both in stock and forex market.
It is impossible to cover everything about the technical analysis in one article. So here I just try to talk about technical analysis in general but write more detailed articles about it.
If you read my daily forex trading market technical analysis reports, you will see that technical analysis is the main thing that I use in the market analysis.

GBP/USD analysis: tough EU position on Brexit weighs on Pound
GBP/USD Current price: 1.2425
The UK formally begun the Brexit process through a letter that PM May delivered to the EU, resulting in some wild swings in Pound crosses and with the GBP/USD settling at 1.2425. The two parts are beginning now a two-year process that EU President Donald Tusk expects to start with “key arrangements for an orderly withdrawal.” UK PM May, on the contrary, wants to focus on a comprehensive free-trade deal, something that the EU is not willing to put on the table, at least for now.

Gold Fundamental Forecast For The Week of April 3, 2017
Gold futures posted a two-sided trade last week before closing only slightly lower. Investors had a lot on their plates last week, dealing with Trump administration issues, the U.S. Dollar, interest rates, Brexit and French presidential elections.
June Comex Gold futures closed the week at $1251.20, down $0.50 or -0.04%.
Comex gold futures started the week more than 1 percent higher after President Trump’s failure to put through a healthcare reform package the previous Friday raised questions over his ability to deliver promised tax cuts and spending plans.
This news drove the U.S. Dollar into a four-month low, making dollar-denominated gold a more attractive investment.
Gold prices retreated the rest of the week after the dollar strengthened due to hawkish commentary from several Fed officials.

How Do Oil Prices Affect Your Trading Wallet?
It is important for everyone to keep an eye on the live oil prices as it affects a large part of our life on a day to day basis. One of the main reasons for this fact is that unlike other commodities like gold, silver, diamond etc., oil is an essential commodity and considering its usage and impact in our lives, it is probably the most important commodity in the world. A couple of decades back, entire wars were fought by some of the greatest world powers in order to gain control over large reserves and this should be enough proof to stress the importance of oil as a commodity that impacts our daily lives.

Oil falls - 0.79% after North Korean missile test
Crude oil fell in quiet trading on Monday, after the three-day Easter break, on signs the United States is continuing to add output, undermining OPEC efforts to support prices, and as the market digested North Korea's failed missile launch on Sunday.
Benchmark Brent crude futures were down 49 cents at $55.40 at 0310 GMT. On Thursday, before the break closed most major markets, they settled up 3 cents at $55.89 a barrel.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures were also down 47 cents at $52.71 a barrel. They rose 7 cents to $53.18 on Thursday.

The USD fell to a five-month low against the JPY | April 18, 2017
The U.S. Dollar fell to a five-month low against the safe-haven Japanese Yen on tensions with North Korea over the week-end. The dollar rebounded, however, as the Dollar/Yen Forex pair neared a major retracement level at 107.856, sending it higher into the close.

How are Bollinger Bands used in forex trading?
Bollinger Bands are one of the most popular technical indicators for traders in any financial market, whether investors are trading stocks, bonds or foreign exchange (FX). Many traders use Bollinger Bands to determine overbought and oversold levels, selling when a price touches the upper Bollinger Band and buying when it hits the lower Bollinger Band. In range-bound markets, this technique works well, as prices travel between the two bands like balls bouncing off the walls of a racquetball court. However, Bollinger Bands don’t always give accurate buy and sell signals. This is where the more specific Bollinger Band “bands” come in. Let’s take a look.
As John Bollinger was first to acknowledge: “tags of the bands are just that – tags, not signals. A tag of the upper Bollinger Band is not in and of itself a sell signal. A tag of the lower Bollinger Band is not in and of itself a buy signal.” Price often can and does “walk the band.” In those markets, traders who continuously try to “sell the top” or “buy the bottom” are faced with an excruciating series of stop-outs or worse, an ever-mounting floating loss as price moves further and further away from the original entry.
Perhaps a more useful way to trade with Bollinger Bands is to use them to gauge trends. To understand why Bollinger Bands may be a good tool for this task we first need to ask – what is a trend?

Oil Prices Fundamental Report: Biggest Weekly Drop In A Month
Oil traded steady on Friday, though it was set for its biggest weekly drop in about a month over doubts that an OPEC-led production cut will restore balance to a market that has been dogged by oversupply for more than two years.
Brent crude futures (LCOc1) were at $52.99 per barrel at 0323 GMT (11:23 p.m. EDT), flat from their last close. Brent futures are set for a 5.2 percent weekly drop, the most since the week of March 10.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures (CLc1) were also almost unchanged, at $50.74 a barrel. WTI is set for a 4.6 percent weekly decline, also the most since March 10.
Reuters' technical analyst Wang Tao said that WTI had support just above $50 per barrel, while Brent had support around $52.55.
The stable prices on Friday followed a more-than-3.5 percent fall in both benchmarks earlier this week as doubts emerged over the effect of an effort led by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to cut production by almost 1.8 million barrels per day (bpd) during the first half of the year.
Thomson Reuters Eikon data shows that a record 48 million bpd of crude is being shipped across ocean waters in April, up 5.8 percent since December, before cuts were implemented.

How to do Fundamental Analysis & Fundamentals Trading Strategies
In the equities market, fundamental analysis looks to measure a company’s true value and to base investments upon this type of calculation. To some extent, the same is done in the retail forex market, where forex fundamental traders evaluate currencies, and their countries, like companies and use economic announcements to gain an idea of the currency’s true value.
All of the news reports, economic data and political events that come out about a country are similar to news that comes out about a stock in that it is used by investors to gain an idea of value. This value changes over time due to many factors, including economic growth and financial strength. Fundamental traders look at all of this information to evaluate a country’s currency.
Given that there are practically unlimited forex fundamentals trading strategies based on fundamental data, one could write a book on this subject. To give you a better idea of a tangible trading opportunity, let’s go over one of the most well-known situations, the forex carry trade.

USD/JPY Forecast April 25, 2017
The Dollar Index (DXY) gapped lower overnight as the outcome of the French election underpinned the euro, which makes up a big portion of the index. Despite the DXY’s weakness, the USD/JPY gapped higher as the news also undermined perceived safe haven assets such as gold and yen. But the gains for the USD/JPY were short-lived and the daily chart of the USD/JPY is currently displaying a bearish price pattern, which suggests that the gap may well be ‘filled’ completely in due course and there may even be a possibility for a deeper pullback.
As can be seen from the chart, the USD/JPY is in the process of potentially forming an inverted hammer candlestick formation after the gap up. This price pattern is typically bearish as it highlights a lack of willingness from the buyers to hold onto their positions. Thus, we may see some weakness follow-through in the upcoming Asian session.

EUR/USD: Bullish above 1.0900 on ECB taper hints & softer USD
The EUR/USD pair stalled its recent bullish momentum in the Asian session this Wednesday, and now enters a phase of consolidation, after the bulls ran into the key resistance of 1.0950 levels.
The spot is trying to defend the bids near 1.0935 region at the moment, moving slightly away from five-month tops reached at 1.0951 in the US last session.
The Euro extended its rebound versus the American dollar on Tuesday, after the US dollar took the back seat across the board amid risk-on trades and doubts whether the Trump administration will actually provide details on the tax reform plans on Wednesday.
The spot also remains underpinned amid easing French election-related anxiety, as a Macron win appears to be full priced-in by markets, with most opinion polls showing about 60% support for Macron against 39% for the anti-EU candidate Le Pen.
Also, expectations of some hawkish hints from the ECB, with markets widely anticipating the central bank to resort to taper talks, adds to the recent bullish tone seen behind the major.
Nothing of relevance for the major in the day ahead, and hence, the US tax reform plans announcement will hog the limelight later in the NA session.
EUR/USD Technical Levels
Technical resistances for the pair are aligned at 1.0950/51 (psychological levels/ 5-month tops), 1.0968/71 (classic R1/ Fib R2) and finally 1.1000 (key resistance). On the flip side, the spot finds next support at 1.0909/00 (daily pivot), a break below that level could open the door to 1.0866/67 (5-DMA/ classic S1) and 1.0775 (10-DMA).

USD/JPY Forecast – May 11, 2017
The USD/JPY pair had a volatile session on Wednesday, as we bounced off the 113.50 level, and then finally managed to build up enough momentum to break above the 114 handle. It looks as if we are going to continue the uptrend, and that should send us looking for the longer-term target of the 115 handle. That’s an area that has been resistive on the longer-term charts, and I believe that if we can break above there, the market becomes more of a “buy-and-hold” type of proposition. Pullbacks currently should be buying opportunities, and I recognize that the market continues to favor the USD/JPY pair due to the overall “risk on” attitude of traders. The markets continue to find buyers on pullbacks, and I don’t think that’s going to change. I believe that the 115 level is such a large target for traders that it’s almost impossible to ignore.
Buying dips
I continue to think that buying dips on short-term charts will be the way going forward, as we are most certainly in a very bullish trend. If we break down below the 113.50 level, the market could then go looking for the 113 handle, but at that point I would expect a lot of support as well. Either way, I have no interest in shorting this market, and believe that the longer-term buyers have already reentered the market after the lows that we saw several months. If we do somehow break above the 115 handle, the market should then go to the 118 level after that. Going forward, I anticipate that there will be a lot of volatility, but a general positive attitude as the US dollar is favored over a lot of currencies around the world, and the Japanese yen of course will be any different.

EUR/USD SUPPORTED AT 1.2000 AHEAD OF EZ PMIS
DXY in doldrums
2017 highs of 1.2092 still in sight.
Manufacturing PMIs to dominate.
The EUR/USD pair extends its upside consolidative mode into Asia, now looking to retest three-month tops of 1.2030 levels ahead of the Euro area final manufacturing PMI releases.
EUR/USD: Bullish bias intact
Stepping into the New Year, the EUR/USD pair keeps its recent bullish momentum intact, as the US dollar remains broadly undermined on weaker Treasury yields, in the wake of expectations of the monetary policy convergence. Markets believe that the Fed could under-deliver on its rate hike expectations while the ECB could turn hawkish amid improving Eurozone economic prospects.
Valeria Bednarik, Chief Analyst at wrote, “The EUR/USD pair is not far from its 2017 multi-year high of 1.2092, and from a technical point of view, seems poised to extend its gains, despite these levels are highly uncomfortable for the ECB that fears a stronger currency will delay the progress towards their inflation target.”

GBP/USD EYES SEPT 2017 HIGHS AHEAD OF UK CONSTRUCTION PMI
Strongest since mid-Sept 2017.
Further bullishness ahead.
The UK construction PMI – Up next.
The bulls weakened their grip in mid-Asia, allowing a brief phase of consolidation in the GBP/USD pair near four-month tops of 1.3605, as investors gear up for the UK construction PMI release.
GBP/USD: USD still remains the key driver
Amid risk-on trades seen in the Asian equities and positive oil prices, the spot remains better bid, largely unperturbed by a tepid broad-based US dollar recovery. Markets switch their positions and prefer to hold the US currency heading into the key FOMC Dec meeting minutes.
Meanwhile, the pair appears to gather pace for a test of September 2017 highs reached at 1.3657, having surpassed the Dec tops of 1.3552 in the US last session. The recent upsurge in Cable was mainly driven by broad USD weakness while a lack of Brexit headlines (mostly seen as bad) also added to the upside risks in the pound.

USD/JPY AIMS TO RETEST 113.0 AFTER FOMC MINUTES

USD/JPY technicals still suggests limited buying interest
USD/JPY has reached new session highs at the open of business in Tokyo, testing offers at 112.70 after the FOMC minutes/upbeat US data-induced rebound from Wednesday.
USD/JPY fueled by upbeat US data, FOMC minutes
As Valeria Bednarik, Chief Analyst at notes: “The USD/JPY pair advanced up to 112.57 this Thursday, as stronger-than-expected US data lifted the greenback against its Japanese rival, later fueled by the release of FOMC Minutes. Not that the document surprised investors, but after the release, US Treasury yields recovered the ground lost earlier on the day, helping the pair to extend its daily gains. ”

The controlled nature of the moves in the bitcoin market are there for everyone to see. Ever since the introduction of the bitcoin futures around a month back, we have seen a large scale correction followed by some consolidation and now we are see some controlled uptrend, all signs of a mature market that is seeing the entry and playing of some large traders and investors. Ever since the futures were introduced, we had said that this was a seismic event in the growth of bitcoins and that it could change the way bitcoins are traded, forever. While it gave some additional credentials to the bitcoin industry, it also helped to draw in bigger players who would ensure that the market is kept under control.
