Forex Trading Opportunities for the Week Ahead 11 March 18

Note that this is my current view, but if market conditions change my view can change too. Generally I will trade in alignment with what I have noted here, though I will wait for a set-up before I enter. I base my view on technical and fundamental information. This is my beliefs and you are welcome to have opposite ones. Having a plan is more important than the actual direction for me. 

This weeks report is abbreviated due to personal reasons. 

• Wait DXY. – MT is sideways normal. Watch for selling opportunities off 97.70.
• Sell GBP/USD. – MT is sideways volatile. Continue to sell, looking for a move towards 1.28.
• Wait USD/JPY. – MT is bull normal. Stocks and bonds suggest that the uptrend is coming to an end for now. Wait.
• Buy AUD/USD. –  MT is sideways normal. Look to buy of the key .70 figure.
• Wait EUR/USD. –  MT is sideways normal. There may be an opportunity to buy off 1.20 but it is a contrarian trade so high risk, high reward.
• Wait NZD/USD. –  MT is sideways normal. Wait.
• Wait USD/CHF.  – MT sideways normal. Watch for a reversal off 1.0130.
• Buy USD/CAD. – MT is bull normal. Buy, but caution should be had.
• Wait EUR/GBP. – MT is bear normal. There is a potential contrarian buy here too. Perhaps the better option than EURUSD.
