U.S. stocks edge off highs amid doubts on China trade progress
U.S. stocks retreated from the highest levels of Friday as headlines from wire services of President Donald Trump's Oval Office comments suggest doubt on progress on U.S.-China trade talks. In a letter written by Xi Jinping and read out by Trump, the Chinese leader said he hopes the two sides "redouble efforts to meet half way." Trump meanwhile said perhaps he and Xi will work out the final points or perhaps not. U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said a few "very big" hurdles remain. The Chinese delegation will stay two additional days, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said.

Gold markets initially rallied during the week but gave back quite a bit of the gains. By doing so, we are forming a massive shooting star which of course is very negative. However, we have a lot of support underneath so this may just be the market getting ready to consolidate a bit.

USD/JPY Weekly Price Forecast – US dollar struggles
The US dollar struggle during the week, initially trying to go higher but not being able to break above the top of the previous week candle. With this being the case, and the fact that we are at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level from the selloff, it looks very likely that we could roll over.

GBP/USD Weekly Price Forecast – British pound rallies for the week
The British pound rallied a bit during the week, breaking the top of the hammer from last week which set up perfectly. We did give back a bit of the gains though, which isn’t a huge surprise considering there’s so much in the way of noise.

The British pound rallied significantly against the Japanese yen during the week, slamming into the ¥145 level. That is an area that of course attracts a lot of attention, as we sold off rather drastically. Looking at the number, it’s also a large, round, psychologically significant one as well so a pullback makes sense.

The Australian dollar has gone back and forth during the week, showing signs of confusion. However, it looks very likely that we are going to continue to favor the supportive area just underneath. Because of this, I do believe that the action that we are seeing on Friday only reiterates that fact.

USD/JPY Price Forecast – US dollar continues to grind sideways
The US dollar continues to do very little against the Japanese yen overall, as we are essentially stuck at major resistance. I find this interesting as the USD/JPY pair seems to be acting as a bit of a proxy for the S&P 500. The two are moving in lockstep, so pay attention to both markets.

EUR/USD Price Forecast – Euro finding support
The Euro fell initially during the trading session on Friday but has turned around to show signs of life midday, because of this, it looks as if the 1.1350 level should offer buying pressure. With that in mind, it’s very likely that we will chop around over the next 24 hours but it looks to me as if the market is ready to try to go higher.

During trading on Friday, the Australian dollar initially fell a bit during the trading session, but found support at the 0.7050 level again, turning around to show signs of life. Because of this, it’s very likely that the market will continue to rotate in this consolidation area.
