Eurusd is bullish

Eurusd trimmed the  sharp fall after the FOMC and the fed raising the rates. The pair fell to 1.1730$ where it found support again and again and reversed the move sharply to trade currently at 1.1790$ . The pair broke above the falling trendline and maintains a bullish sentiment ahead of the ECB meeting tomorrow. It is recommended to buy on dips. However , follow for MY update tomorrow ahead of the ECB. A CORRELATED PAIR TO WATCH IS USD/JPY.

Sell usdcad

Tomorrow , Thursday , is the day you sell usdcad at whatever level you want. Probably at 1.3030-3130 , i know this is a big range , but it will pay off hugely . The fed raised and there is still scope for 2 more hikes this year. There will be some dollar strength of course today and tomorrow before we see a reversal Shortly , i will post a recommendation for trading usdjpy as well.

The day ahead 11 oct 2017

The economic calendar today is free except from fed's members "evans" and "williams" who are set to speak todat before and afer the release of FOMC minutes at 18:00 GMT. Low volatility is expected , however I see this event as very critical indicator for the direction of the dollar and it wilĺ decide if majors break the tought trendlines and support areas. Usd/jpy and usd/cad are facing trendlines and failed to break on friday after NFP figures..will they break the trendline after the fomc minutes ??? On the other side , we have eur/usd and gbp/usd which are very well supported at 1.1680$ and 1.3030$ areas respectively... I think we might see these areas and trendlines broken this week...

Platinum looks supported at 945$

The metals have been sliding since last week and platinum is no exception. However it looks very supported around 945$ and it looks like a nice chance to go long on metals now ahead of the FOMC minutes later today. Platinum has strong resistance at 970$ ahead of 1012$ . Platinum has been not able to stabilize above critical level at 1064$ and it has been a very good short position. Looking on larger scale , international economy is not doing well and the banking sector is facing alot of challenges. So metals are always a good hunt if we are going into risky mood. A weekly close below 940$ area will open the road towards 895$ .
