Forecast for EUR/USD on October 31, 2019

EUR/USD

Unfortunately, we hastened to shift the local situation to medium and long-term prospects for strengthening the dollar. Risk appetite in the market is still strong, and after lowering the FOMC Fed rate, the dollar index fell 0.23% and the stock market grew 0.33%, while the euro added 40 points. But it should be noted that the markets began to fall immediately after the rate cut, and it only turned into growth on the comments of Jerome Powell, who did not look hawkish. As usual, Powell did not fall into the mood of investors. Instructions for taking a pause in the mitigation cycle were both in the accompanying statement and in the speech of the Fed chairman, but soft and inexpressive.

The preliminary signs that we paid attention to before the release of the Fed came out positive: in the private sector, according to ADP estimates, 125 thousand new jobs were created in October, GDP for the third quarter was 1.9% against the expectation of 1.7%. The Fed (primarily Powell) had reason for more hawkish formulations.

Risk appetite was strengthened by Donald Trump’s announcement of progress in trade negotiations with China.

On the daily chart, the price went above the resistance line of 110.0%, the Marlin oscillator turned after the price, which indicates the organic nature of the current growth. As a result, we expect further growth to the Fibonacci level of 110.0% at the price of 1.1215.

GBPUSD up and down. Back down testing 61.8% and swing area.

# GBPUSD tests 61.8% and swing area The GBPUSD is in an up and down day. The    GBPUSD  moved higher earlier. That move was helped by better than expected retail sales. However the high price today stalled near the high price from last week near 1.3643, and rotated back lower on the USD buying. The subsequent move lower now has the price back toward the 61.8% retracement along with a swing area between 1.35969 and 1.36034. As I type, the price has dipped below that swing area. What next? If the price can stay below the 1.36034 area, that would be the best case scenario for the sellers with the next major targets coming in at the 100 hour moving average 1.3569 (blue line), and the 200 hour moving average at 1.35609 (green line). The 50% midpoint of the 2022 trading range is just below those levels at 1.35526 and would be a another target on further weakness. A move back above 1.36034 with momentum would have traders looking again toward 1.3618 to 1.36271 and then t...
