Currency Rates Forecast – Analysis of Forex Trends

Forex Trends – Currency Rates Forecast: week 7/08/12 – 7/13/12 (update 07/10)

Currency rates forecast (weekly) – an overview of the forex trends for the past week with likely developments for the next week.

 
EUR/USD: The downtrend is slowing down.

At this point technical indicators showing that the recent downtrend is very much alive but likely to slow down in the next couple days. The pair looks a little bit oversold below 1.2250. It means the chances are we will see a small rally (50-70 pips) prior to the price resuming its way south.

The “bigger picture” is bearish at this time. Again, the indicators suggest that the downtrend is still here just slowing down. Possibility of low volatility is significant for the next couple days.

Range between 1.2200 and 1.2350 is likely for this week – oversold condition below 1.2200 and overbought above 1.2350.

Common indicators should be fairly accurate in pointing to the direction of the price on the hourly or shorter charts.
 

Update 07/10/12: So far no major surprices and the price behaves as pretty much expected.
