As written last Sunday, EUR/USD from long-term averages are massively oversold and targets 1.1391 and 1.1399 on a long-only strategy. EUR/USD opened Sunday at 1.1147 and traded to 1.1470 or +252 pips to 1.1399.
Further to Sunday, EUR/USD this week traded 323 pips or 14 X 6 = 84 and 84 X 4 or 323 is just shy of 336 pips. At 252 factors as 84 X 3.
As mentioned and shown over many years complete trade targets for weekly, daily, and 24-hour trades are factored by simple math and using pen, paper, and calculator as charts, indicators, and all popular trade vehicles were discarded 10+ years ago.
USD/JPY Weekly Trade
USD/JPY weekly trade achieved the target at 114.18 from 115.52. Lows traded 114.15. The 2nd trade is now in play. Long 114.18 to target 114.58. Target at 114.58 achieved.
Result: 115.52 to 114.15 = +137 pips then 114.15 to 114.58 = +43 pips for total of 180 pips. USD/JPY range traded 142 pips. We profited from all 142 pips + 38 more pips. The grand total to 10 weekly trades is now 1401 pips.
Weekly trades continue as the next goal is 2000 pips then 2500. Eventually, 5000 pips and completed without losses.
As written Sunday, the massive USD Vs Non-USD divide had to close and this is exactly what happened this week. Trade strategy offered was long non USD pairs such as EUR/USD, GBP/USD, AUD/USD and NZD/USD. Entry doesn’t matter.
The consequence to long Non-USD currencies was short USD such as USD/JPY, USD/CAD and USD/CHF. Entry doesn’t matter.
USD/CHF fails as an actively traded currency pair because it's a horrible exchange rate however USD/CHF dropped 200 + pips this week and was the big winner to USD/JPY at 142 and 124 pips for USD/CAD.
Note current USD/CHF 0.9211 vs 95.34 or 0.9534 DXY. USD/CHF for the long-term future will trade 300 pips to DXY and both exchange rates won’t meet nor cross over.
This is a bonus situation to trade USD/CHF however USD/CHF contains severe Noise, signal, and range problems therefore it was eliminated until trade conditions improve.
The massive USD Vs Non-USD divide not only closed this week but the opposite scenario holds for next week as short Non-USD and long USD due to the further divide that favors oversold USD and overbought Non-USD.
The USD Vs Non-USD demarcation line is seen most specifically in EUR/USD’s 5 year average at 1.1524 Vs DXY at 95.06. DXY currently trades 95.31 and 1.1459 for EUR/USD.
If EUR/USD breaks above 1.1524 and DXY 95.06 then next week’s trade life becomes a continuation to long non USD and short USD. DXY traded many times to the brink over the past month at 95.06 and recovered to trade higher and is expected to trade higher again.
EUR/USD for today’s nonfarm payrolls trades top targets at 1.1488 and 1.1509 and 1.1524 holds. USD/JPY short entry this week was 115.52. For NFP, the same trade is in effect to short 115.38 and 115.45 to target 115.02 then 114.78.
Best trades next week are GBP/JPY, EUR/CAD, EUR/AUD, GBP/NZD, EUR/NZD, GBP/AUD, EUR/USD, AUD/USD and GBP/USD.
