Forex Weekly Outlook for April 2nd, 2018

The Forex Weekly Outlook is designed to help traders remain aware of intermarket correlations of global market relationships. You can become more profitable if you know how to get ahead of the trends and understand that these relationships can potentially expand your portfolio. Utilizing the predictive indicators and intermarket relationships in VantagePoint Intermarket Software can help traders find the right trades and the right times to enter and exit those trades. Let’s look at the charts for the U.S. Dollar and the major pairs.

Forex and the U.S. Dollar

The U.S. Dollar Index is the backbone of forex trading. The bulk of the trades involves buying or selling the U.S. dollar. Understanding the movements of the individual market will greatly benefit forex traders as they will be able to better predict the movements of the pairs based on the IDX market movement.

Key levels and market movements:

With a double bottom forming, it does appear that the dollar has recovered. And the indicators do support a further move up for the US dollar. But, traders need to carefully monitor the upcoming non-farm payroll as that will dictate a bigger move (in either direction) for the Dollar.

What do the indicators say?

The VantagePoint key level is at 89.400 and the VantagePoint PRSI is at 68.3.

Forex Weekly Outlook for Major Pairs

The major pairs are where most Forex traders trade the market.
