Trading Support and Resistance - 23 June 2019

This week we’ll begin with our monthly and weekly forecasts of the currency pairs worth watching. The first part of our forecast is based upon our research of the past 16 years of Forex prices, which show that the following methodologies have all produced profitable results:

• Trading the two currencies that are trending the most strongly over the past 3 months.
• Assuming that trends are usually ready to reverse after 12 months.
• Trading against very strong counter-trend movements by currency pairs made during the previous week.
• Buying currencies with high interest rates and selling currencies with low interest rates.

Let’s look at the relevant data of currency price changes and interest rates to date, which we compiled using a trade-weighted index of the major global currencies:

Weekly Forecast 23^rd June 2019

Last week, we made no weekly forecast. This week, we again make no forecast, as there were no large counter-trend price movements over the past week.

33% of the important currency pairs and crosses moved by more than 1% in value over the past week. Volatility is likely to be higher over the coming week.

Last week was dominated by relative strength in the Swiss Franc, and relative weakness in the U.S. Dollar.
