WTI Crude Oil and Natural Gas Forecast July 4, 2016: DailyForex

Published on 1 Jul 2016

The WTI Crude Will market rallied during the course of the day on Friday after initially falling. However, we are still well below the $50 level, an area that I believe is going to be rather resistive. I also have a downtrend line drawn on the chart that I believe is of significance, so at this point in time I don’t necessarily by this contract although it would necessarily surprise me if we got a little bit higher during the day. Remember, we will only have limited electronic trading during the day as the Americans will be celebrating Independence Day. Because of this, liquidity might be an issue so we could get sudden moves, but my experience has been that more often than not, we get nothing. With this, I am looking for some type of candle that I can trade on the daily chart but it probably won’t occur until Tuesday.

EUR/USD and GBP/USD Forecast July 4, 2016: DailyForex

Published on 1 Jul 2016

The EUR/USD pair had a fairly volatile day on Friday, but did end up forming a positive candle. At the moment, we are testing the bottom of an uptrend line that had previously been very important. Because of this, we could get a little bit of resistance but at this point in time I think the one thing you can count on more than anything else in this pair: volatility. I do not like buying the Euro at this point, I think there are far too many reasons the think that there could be trouble down the road, so I’m waiting to see whether or not we get an exhaustive candle. We do, I will not hesitate to sell this pair. It makes quite a bit of sense that the US dollar will strengthen over the longer term, because quite frankly the only real concern with the US dollar is that there will be any interest-rate hikes soon.
