In this weekly Forex forecast, I’m going to show you exactly how I’m trading EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, EURJPY, and CADJPY through October 18, 2019.
Watch the video below, and be sure to scroll down for more commentary and annotated charts.
EURUSD Forecast
Last week was a big one for the EURUSD.
We’ve been tracking this descending channel for several weeks now.
We were also keeping a close eye on that 1.0990 resistance area last Saturday.
I wrote about the potential for a break higher from EURUSD on October 10 and even published a video.
Buyers failed to close EURUSD above the channel top on Thursday, but they got the job done just before the weekend.
From here, I anticipate that buyers will want to defend the confluence of support between 1.0990 and 1.1000 in the week ahead.
A move higher this week would first target 1.1070 with a daily close above that exposing the 1.1200 handle.
Alternatively, a close below 1.0990 would negate the short-term bullish outlook.
It would also open the door to 1.0940 and perhaps 1.0870.
GBPUSD Forecast
The GBPUSD put in a massive false break last week.
The pound rocketed higher against the USD in the last 48 hours following the close below the 1.2290 support area earlier in the week.
It became pretty clear that buyers wanted GBPUSD higher once Thursday closed back above 1.2290 and even 1.2380.
For the week ahead, it’s going to come down to whether GBPUSD bulls can keep the pair above 1.2570.
That’s where the pair stalled out on September 20.
If they can keep prices above 1.2570 on a daily closing basis, we’ll see GBPUSD push higher this week into 1.2770.
A close above 1.2770 would expose the next key resistance level at 1.2980.
On the other hand, a daily close below 1.2570 would signal a deeper pullback into channel support around 1.2450.
USDJPY Forecast
I wrote about USDJPY twice last week.
The first was on October 7 when the pair was hovering just above key support at 106.80.
The second post came on Friday just before USDJPY closed above the neckline of what appears to be a 450-pip bullish reversal pattern.
I do expect sellers to defend the 108.45 area this week.
However, as long as USDJPY stays above 108.00/30 on a daily closing basis, I have to respect the potential for a move higher.
A push higher this week would first target 109.00 with a close above that exposing 110.60.
The measured objective for this inverse head and shoulders comes in just above 112.15.
Alternatively, a close below 108.00 would likely negate the bullish outlook.

EURJPY Forecast
I discussed this EURJPY descending channel on September 19.
We were watching for a close above channel resistance.
However, buyers failed to get the job done. Notice how the EURJPY never did close above the channel top in mid-September.
That rejection triggered a 300-pip decline, which eventually led to a higher low last week.
Thursday’s session closed above channel resistance, which certainly garnered the attention of potential buyers.
For the week ahead, key support comes in around 119.20 with key resistance just above Friday’s close at 120.00.
Be sure to watch the video above to see how this new ascending channel could assist us in the weeks ahead.
CADJPY Forecast
I haven’t mentioned CADJPY for some time.
The price action has been relatively choppy lately, which caused me to stay away from the pair.
But Friday’s rally changed my view on CADJPY.
As you can see, the pair broke free from a descending channel.
There is even a bullish reversal pattern similar to the one on USDJPY that could become a factor over the next few weeks.
Be sure to watch the video above for all the details.
As long as CADJPY bulls can keep the pair above the 81.20 to 81.80 support area this week, I favor a move higher.
One resistance level to keep an eye on is 83.20.
A daily close above that would expose 84.20. Keep in mind too that the objective here could be as high as 85.20, perhaps even 85.50.
Alternatively, a close back inside the channel below would negate the idea and re-expose recent lows, including the 80.00 handle.

HI there! I am not for the idea of using another trader’s analytics for my trading, because that is exactly how the market maker wants us to be( THE HERD or GROUP MENTALITY). I strongly believe that any analysis should tell the analyst what his competition is doing> my analysis must tell me what most of you are doing and what the smart money is doing. Deciphering what these players are doing gives me my trading plan ,then I execute accordingly( following the smart money). This allows me to remain with the 5% that is constantly making money in the markets.
FOR EXAMPLE…LETS LOOK AT THE EUROYEN CHART PROVIDED ABOVE BY OUR GREAT MR BENNET.
A typical retail trader just saw the break out from the upper trendline of that descending channel. HE HAS ALREADY MEASURED THAT THIS MOVE SHOULD ESTEND 375 PIPS ABOVE THE BREAK OUT POUNT. HE HAS CONCLUDED THIS BY MEASURING THE PIPS BETWEEN THE TWO TRENDLINES ENCOMPASING THE CHANNEL. HE HAS PROBABLY ALREADY BOUGHT AND PLACED HIS STOP-LOSS (that’s if he knows he should place one) BELOW 118.458( which appears to be the new support price)
Now, on the other hand ,the SMART MONEY HAS SEEN THIS and he is looking to take advantage of this scenario. HOW? HE WILL WAIT FOR PRICE TO REVERSE BELOW 118.458( market maker stop-hunt), THEN HE WILL WAIT FOR THE MARKET MAKER TO ISSUED HIM A REVERSAL PARTTEN AND JOIN HIM ALL THE WAY TO THE HIGH OF Q4.
NB! IF NONE OF THIS HAPPENS, THE SMART MONEY PASSES ON THAT TRADE. HE DOESNT TAKE THE TRADE BECAUSE IT DOESNT MAKE SENSE TO AND FOR HIM.
Sir, In the great words of the honorable Mark Douglas. “The trade we take will either work out or it won’t”
Right! It isn’t that complicated.
good analysis
Cheers!

Thanks Justin for such a clear analysis. This is not a question. You have often said Friday breakouts are not the most reliable and we have a few of them here. I guess we watch the price action in the coming week to validate them. Cheers.
You’re welcome. You got it!
it was great analysis
Thank you!
Thanks Justin

Hi there! Good traders know when not to trade. We call it folding….we stay flat because price and time do not match, or our risk management criterion says so.
