What Are USD Perspectives For The Upcoming Week?

What Are USD Perspectives For The Upcoming Week?

2023-10-16 • Updated

Let’s take a look at the prospective direction for the US Dollar and a few majors this week. Despite the general sentiment of most analysts being in favor of a continued bullish momentum on the dollar, I have reason to believe that this may not be the case - not yet, at least.

US DOLLAR - D1 Timeframe

Are you familiar with the head-and-shoulder pattern? It is a classic reversal pattern, and is currently being presented on the daily timeframe of the US Dollar. At the moment, price seems to be reacting to the pressure from the supply zone at the head of the pattern, which serves as even further confirmation for the bearish sentiment.

Analyst’s Expectations: 

Direction: Bearish

Target: 105.378

Invalidation: 106.836

EURUSD - D1 Timeframe

Based on correlation analysis we know that a weaker Dollar is good for the Euro, and vice versa; since in this case we expect the US Dollar to go weaker, EURUSD should be bullish. From the technical analysis, we see another head-and-shoulder pattern with a bullish reaction from the demand zone.

Analyst’s Expectations: 

Direction: Bullish

Target: 1.06448

Invalidation: 1.04590

GBPUSD - D1 Timeframe

Similar to the current pattern on EURUSD, we see the same inverted head-and-shoulder pattern here on the daily timeframe of GBPUSD as well. The demand zone will serve as a valid point of entry for a buy trade as I expect prices to climb higher.

Analyst’s Expectations: 

Direction: Bullish

Target: 1.23106

Invalidation: 1.20662
