USD/JPY Rises on Hawkish Fed, Easing of Safe Haven Buying, Dovish Koroda
As easing of tensions in the U.S. stock market and higher U.S. Treasury yields helped the Dollar/Yen close higher last week. The previous week’s stock market volatility led to the dumping of risky assets and the buying of the safe haven Japanese Yen. This week, stock market volatility eased somewhat, allowing Treasury yields to challenge multi-year highs once again. This encouraged investors to take profits in Japanese Yen positions they had bought the previous week.

Crypto Markets See Minor Losses as Relative Calm Continues, Bitcoin Slips Below $6,500
Bitcoin (BTC) is down a little under percent on the day, and is trading at $6,470 as of press time. With one notable exception Oct. 15 – a brief spike correlated with Tether’s slight untethering from its dollar peg – the top coin has been trading sideways between $6,500-$6,500 for the past few days, before slipping below the $6,500 today, still above where it started the week, close to $6,300. On the week, Bitcoin is 2.7 percent in the green, and is also up just about 2 percent on the month.

Gold Weekly Price Forecast – Gold markets rally for the week
Gold markets rallied a bit for the week, as we have cleared the recent consolidation and it now looks like the rally is going to continue. The $1250 level above looks to be rather resistive and perhaps a nice target for the time being.

USD/JPY Weekly Price Forecast – US dollar finding support
The US dollar has found significant support at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level, near the ¥111.50 level. This is a market that has been in a strong uptrend for some time, and it now looks as if that is trying to continue.

GBP/USD Weekly Price Forecast – British pound continues to be very messy
The British pound continues to be very messy overall, forming a bit of a shooting star during the week, but quite frankly we are just simply bouncing around between the 1.30 level and the bottom, and the 1.3250 level in the top. This makes perfect sense considering everything that’s going on though.

GBP/JPY Weekly Price Forecast – British pound neutral against yen
It’s been a wild week, but it looks like we are going to close the GBP/JPY pair relatively flat which of course is a victory after the massive selloff last week.

EUR/USD Weekly Price Forecast – Euro looking for a bottom
The Euro is looking for a bottom on the longer-term charts, and as you can see on the accompanying chart, I have a yellow circle around the massive hammer underneath the 1.1450 level. That’s an area that I think continues to hold this market up, so this point I would expect a bit of a bounce.

AUD/USD Weekly Price Forecast – Australian dollar still trying to form a base
The Australian dollar shows signs of trying to form a bit of a bottom down here, as the 0.70 level of course would attract a lot of attention due to it being a large, round, psychologically significant figure.

Gold Price Forecast – Gold markets holds steady on Friday

GBP/USD Price Forecast – British pound bounces on Friday
The British pound bounced during the day on Friday after significant selling this week. However, the one thing that I find most interesting about this is that the bounce is from the 1.30 level, an area that is crucial from a technical standpoint.

GBP/JPY Price Forecast – British pound showing signs of life to end the week
The British pound bounced a bit against the Japanese yen to end the week, and as I record this we are testing the one ¥46.50 level. This is an area that was a significant resistance months ago, and support recently. It’ll be interesting to see what happens next.

EUR/USD Price Forecast – Euro traders looking for a bottom
The Euro fell over the last several days, but Friday looks like it is offering a glimmer of hope. Perhaps the pair is starting to find a bottom near the 1.1450 handle.
- FX Empire•yesterday
AUD/USD Price Forecast – Australian dollar shoots higher on Friday
The Australian dollar rallied significantly during the day on Friday but continues to see a significant amount of resistance near the 0.7150 level. Because of this, the upside I think is still a bit, and I am a bit hesitant to get overly excited about going long of this pair, even though I could potentially see this market going all the way to the 0.72 handle above.
