Navigating Choppy Waters: Forex Insights and Analysis on August 3, 2023
Today’s Forex market painted a diverse circumstance with mixed sentiments that lent a choppy atmosphere. Concurrently, news outlets reflect the same ambiguous narrative, reporting various economic data suggesting a stasis more than appreciation.
Amidst these turbulent waters, the EURO has been unsuccessful in steadying its course toward a solid rebound. A situation that, at the time of this composition, continues to persist.
My research points towards an upcoming pivotal price point — $1.1030. Historically, this value has acted as a crucial swing point, demonstrating a capacity to coax bullish and bearish market sentiment.
However, reviewing the current charts hints at a still-present bearish trend. I remain observant of the price action, particularly around the psychological level of $1.0900. Today, this price point remains untouched. In parallel, my volume-based model forecasts a price adjustment down to $1.0860.
The difference between these two predictions grants us a nuanced view of our current location within this dynamic market, placing us at an approximate median of EUR 1.0945/USD.
Now, shifting to my Confidence Level Intangibles Model (CLIM) reveals a 53% confidence toward a bullish market outlook. The CLIM aligns with my beliefs and relevant statistics, suggesting that the economy continues its path of recovery despite contemporary high inflation and generally weaker service sector performance reports as of most recently. As such, the ECB should implement another rate hike in around 42 days, aiming to curtail inflationary pressures further.
However, the FED’s future actions are known and dovish. Despite indications from previous meetings suggesting a forthcoming rate increase, the subtlety of the dovish language implies a more cautious and measured approach. Telling that a future rate hike is possible, the question of when they will raise hikes again and if they do remains to be determined. Another rate hike will depreciate the exchange rate in the future and, as such, should be carefully considered.
