Upcoming Australian CPI and central bank meetings from RBNZ, Bank of Canada, and the Federal Reserve could lead to significant forex volatility.
FULL
00:00–05:00
- Upcoming Australian CPI and central bank meetings from RBNZ, Bank of Canada, and the Federal Reserve could lead to significant forex volatility.
- All central banks are facing similar inflation pressures, which may hinder clean directional moves in major currency pairs.
- The Australian dollar has rebounded from 69 cents, with a potential pullback towards 70 cents before a significant move occurs.
- The New Zealand dollar may have a better chance of a bullish move, especially if RBNZ delivers a hawkish hike.
- The Canadian dollar has shown a decent pullback but remains above its moving average, indicating potential upside.
- Our interpretation: The convergence of central bank policies amid rising inflation pressures suggests that the NZD could outperform the AUD and CAD due to differing monetary policy expectations, potentially leading to significant shifts in currency valuations.

FULL
00:00–05:00
- The US dollar is gaining strength ahead of the Fed's rate decision, suggesting potential volatility in the currency market.
- The DXY has pivoted around the 101.77 to 101.92 level, indicating a critical resistance zone that has been monitored for weeks.
- Initial resistance for the DXY is at 102.37, aligning with a 61.8% retracement of the recent decline, while the yearly high day close is at 102.52.
- Market expectations for a Fed rate hike are currently at 91%, with December's expectations slightly lower at around 82%.
- The upcoming core PCE release and Q3 GDP update are anticipated to impact market sentiment and the Fed's policy outlook, especially if dissenters are present in the vote count.
- Our interpretation: The market is positioned for potential dollar strength if the Fed's decision reflects a hawkish stance, particularly with a higher number of dissenters in the vote count.
READ FULL ANALYSIS
FULL
05:00–10:00
- To achieve a breakout towards 103 on the DXY, the 102.52 level must be surpassed, with initial resistance identified at 102.37.
- The recent rally on the DXY failed at the median line, and the breach of the swing low at 111.82 indicates a shift in near-term support dynamics.
- Testing the 2026 low day close at 111.56 suggests a significant approach to key support levels, particularly the critical 38-year retracement from the 2022 advance.
- While near-term uptrend support has been broken, the 111.10 level remains a crucial support threshold that could influence future price movements.
- The Eurodollar is nearing near-term support, with a close below 11.56 raising the risk of further declines towards levels of 11.30 and 11.10.
- The ECB is anticipated to maintain rates at 2.65%, amid ongoing inflationary concerns, particularly following a weaker-than-expected French consumer sentiment report.
- Our interpretation: The current market dynamics suggest that the USD's strength is contingent on breaking key resistance levels, while the Euro's trajectory may be influenced by ECB policy decisions and inflation data.
FULL
10:00–15:00
- Sterling is testing initial uptrend support, with a break below 33 potentially nullifying the monthly opening range bias.
- Initial resistance for sterling is at 33.52, while the objective weekly open is at 33.72, indicating key levels to monitor for price movements.
- The November rate hike from the Bank of England (BoE) is largely priced in, supported by strong employment and inflation data suggesting another rate hike is likely.
- Strength in sterling may require dollar weakness, as the market anticipates the Fed's rate decision.
- The Australian dollar has been straddling the 38.2% retracement level without significant movement, indicating uncertainty in its performance.
- The upcoming CPI release for Australia is expected to influence the Australian dollar's trajectory, with expectations of an increase from 4% to 4.2%.
- Our interpretation: The dynamics surrounding sterling and the Australian dollar suggest that their movements are closely tied to upcoming economic data and central bank decisions, which could lead to volatility in the forex market.
FULL
15:00–20:00
- The 1618 extension off the yearly high for Euro Aussie is at 160.44, while the 618 retracement off the 2022 lows is at 5914.
- If Euro Aussie settles below 5914 on a weekly close basis, there is risk for further downside, potentially targeting the 2017 high week close at 5712.
- Current bearish momentum is supported by divergence along the lows, indicating a potential continuation of the downtrend.
- A close below 5914 would keep the bears in control, suggesting a significant shift in market sentiment.
- The level to watch for resistance if the market heads lower is the low day close from the previous Wednesday, which converges with slope support.
- Our interpretation: The current bearish momentum in Euro Aussie, driven by a potential close below 5914, suggests a risk of further declines in the currency pair, which could reflect broader weakness in both the Euro and Australian Dollar.
FULL
20:00–25:00
- A momentum drop below 30 could trigger a market decline.
- Initial resistance for the euro is set at 5914, with bearish validation at the low day close from the 14th.
- The euro is currently influencing market dynamics as key events from the Fed, ECB, and PCE figures approach within the next 48 hours.
- For the Kiwi dollar, initial resistance is at 5726, while support is identified at 5676, with an anticipated rate hike by the RBNZ later tonight.
- Caution is advised in trading, as any movement above 5997 would confirm a breakout of the objective weekly high.
- Our interpretation: The upcoming central bank meetings and economic data releases are likely to induce volatility in the FX markets, particularly impacting the euro and Kiwi dollar. A failure to maintain levels below 5914 could lead to a shift in sentiment, affecting the USD's strength and prompting a reassessment of rate expectations.
FULL
25:00–30:00
- A daily close below 4010 is necessary to validate a continued downside for the dollar CAD.
- Initial resistance for the dollar CAD is identified at 4083, which is the 382 retracement of the advance and converges on the 75% parallel.
- A close above 4140 would indicate potential resumption of upward movement, as this level corresponds to the objective high week close for the year.
- The upcoming Bank of Canada rate decision is expected to result in a 25 basis point hike, adding significant event risk to the dollar CAD.
- The convergence of the October low day close and the July low day close at 40.12 to 40.14 is critical, as slipping below this level could trigger a resumptive move.
- The dollar yen has encountered resistance at the 50% retracement from the January high week close, indicating a pivotal point for potential price action.
- Our interpretation: The interplay of key resistance levels and the upcoming central bank decisions could lead to heightened volatility in the dollar CAD and dollar yen, influencing trading strategies in the forex market.
FULL
30:00–35:00
- The dollar-yen setup is currently the least favored among US dollar majors, suggesting a cautious approach to trading this pair.
- A critical resistance level for the Swiss franc is identified at 83.17, corresponding to the 618 retracement of the decline from the yearly high, indicating potential upward pressure if breached.
- A close above 4103 in gold is essential to indicate a more significant near-term bullish trend, as this level aligns with key resistance from previous price action.
- The speaker cautions that trading ahead of major event risks, particularly with the month-end close approaching, may lead to increased volatility and adjustments in positions across the market.
- Our interpretation: The upcoming month-end close and potential volatility may impact trading strategies, particularly in the USD and gold markets, as traders adjust positions in response to event risks and key resistance levels.
FULL
35:00–40:00
- The risk for gold remains weighted to the downside while below the 41 level, indicating potential for further declines.
- Key support for gold is identified at the yearly low, specifically between 3942 and 3951, where a larger reaction is expected if reached.
- Bitcoin is currently holding support at 7942, with significant resistance at the May high day close and the August swing high of 81447.
- A close below 7942 and specifically 78 571 for Bitcoin could indicate a fundamental shift in momentum, suggesting an accelerated drop.
- The upcoming interest rate decision is emphasized as a critical factor that could significantly impact market dynamics.
- Our interpretation: The proximity of the interest rate decision and the month-end close may lead to increased volatility, prompting traders to adjust positions in response to key support and resistance levels.

FULL
05:00–10:00

- A break above 102.37 could signal a recovery for the DXY, with key targets at 102.20 and 102.37 that traders should monitor closely.
- Failure to maintain levels above the objective monthly open of 101.46 may trigger a deeper decline, with a soft target set at 101.26.
- The euro dollar's pivotal range for establishing a directional bias is identified between 112.75 and 111.10, with momentum indicators reflecting the lowest levels since January 2025.

- It has been trading within a significant yearly range, with resistance levels identified at 3648 and 3684.

- The Australian dollar is currently positioned at the 75% parallel, with losses ideally limited to the median line at 69.84 to maintain a bullish outlook.

- Recent strong employment data, including weekly jobless claims exceeding expectations, suggests a robust labor market that could influence Fed decisions.
- Our interpretation: The Fed's cautious stance on rate hikes, influenced by political factors and strong employment data, may delay monetary tightening despite ongoing inflation pressures, potentially supporting the dollar and affecting currency markets.

- The support level for dollar Swissi is firmly at 82, which has been tested and held, suggesting a potential rebound from this point.
- To signal the end of the downtrend for dollar Swissi, it must break above the upper parallel around 8285 to 8280.
FULL
50:00–55:00
- A downside move below 82 in the Swiss franc would open levels around 81.56, which is the September opening range high.
- Key support levels for the Swiss franc are identified at 81.20 to 81.24, corresponding to the August high close and the 61.8% retracement of the rally off the lows from August.

60:00–65:00
- The next downside support level for gold is at the objective yearly lows, suggesting potential for further declines.

- Resistance levels are nearby, and historical trends suggest that price gaps often get filled, which may allow for a rebound in the near term.

- The USD/JPY has broken out of a tight consolidation, indicating a bearish setup ahead of the upcoming Fed and Bank of Japan meetings.
- Despite a slight reduction in positioning, large speculators in the dollar index remain net long, reflecting mixed sentiment in dollar pairs.

RBA November Rate Hike? One Word May Offer a Clue
RBA Deputy Governor Andrew Hauser characterized the inflation outlook as materially worse than previously expected in August, indicating a notable change in inflation expectations.
FULL
00:00–05:00
- RBA Deputy Governor Andrew Hauser characterized the inflation outlook as materially worse than previously expected in August, indicating a notable change in inflation expectations.
- Hauser's choice of the term 'materially' aligns with Governor Michele Bullock's earlier comments on what constitutes a material miss in inflation forecasts.
- The market is forecasting a trimmed mean inflation reading of 1% for the September quarter, suggesting a renewed acceleration in underlying inflation compared to the RBA's earlier forecast of 0.6%.
- Assistant Governor Sarah Hunter stated that the RBA has not yet fully addressed inflation, implying that further tightening may be required.
- Following Hauser's comments, market pricing for a November rate hike has risen to approximately 67%, with expectations for the cash rate to peak above 5%.
- Our interpretation: The RBA's strong language on inflation, combined with increasing market expectations for rate hikes, signals a potential shift in monetary policy aimed at combating persistent inflation pressures, which could lead to heightened volatility in the AUD and affect broader FX markets.

FULL
00:00–05:00
- The US dollar has exhibited a narrow weekly trading range of just 0.6%, with the DXY fluctuating between 101.77 and 101.92 for the past three weeks, indicating a downside risk due to lack of momentum.
- Current interest rate expectations for the upcoming week's decision show a 90% probability of maintaining rates, while December's rate hike expectations have decreased from 90% to 80%, reflecting uncertainty in economic data.
- The Euro is also experiencing range-bound trading, requiring a close above 112.75 to signal a potential breakout, while the support level at 1182 remains critical.
- The British pound has been trading below resistance for four consecutive days, with the 33.52 level needing to hold as support to facilitate a potential upward movement.
- Oil prices have risen approximately 2% due to geopolitical tensions involving Houthi attacks and Saudi Arabia, contributing to volatility in the broader market context.
READ FULL ANALYSIS
FULL
05:00–10:00
- The 34.06 level for the British pound serves as a significant pivot point, representing the 52-week moving average and a key Fibonacci retracement level.
- A close above the 34.06 level could trigger a move up of 70 pips, while remaining below this level keeps the pound vulnerable.
- The bullish invalidation level for the British pound is at 33.52, aligning with both the May low and the current week's low.
- For the Australian dollar, the critical level remains at 69.37, which is the objective June low and has provided strong support.
- The Australian dollar has consistently failed to close below the 69.37 level, indicating ongoing consolidation.
- Caution is advised for new topside exposure in the Australian dollar due to the proximity of the 200-day moving average and uptrend resistance.
- Our interpretation: The British pound's ability to hold above 34.06 is crucial for maintaining bullish momentum, while the Australian dollar's stability at 69.37 suggests a potential breakout if resistance levels are overcome.

- The market is currently on a seven-day decline, a pattern not observed recently, with a similar occurrence noted in July.
- A close below the 40 level would indicate significant downside potential, suggesting a bearish outlook for the USD/CAD.
