April 29, 2025




Major Currencies:
Canadian Dollar (USD/CAD) Outlook:
Rangebound on Election Day Uncertainty

The Canadian dollar remains in a holding pattern, with USD/CAD seeing muted movement as political uncertainties weigh. Despite broader dollar strength, a lack of clear direction in local factors; including elections and policy expectations; keeps the pair confined to a narrow range.
Technical dynamics suggest that continued consolidation is likely unless a significant breakout occurs. Support near 1.3640 and resistance around 1.3700 will be critical pivot points in the sessions ahead.
Key Levels (Estimated from Current Behavior):

  • Support: 1.3640, 1.3580
  • Resistance: 1.3700, 1.3760
Forecast:
Neutral bias
prevails. A break above 1.3700 would encourage further USD gains, while a dip below 1.3640 could strengthen the Canadian dollar.

May 8, 2025




Major Currencies:
New Zealand Dollar (NZD/USD) Outlook:
Market Overview:

The Kiwi is retreating from recent highs as optimism fades following a disappointing employment report. Although the unemployment rate held steady at 5.1%, weak wage growth and soft labor participation raise the likelihood of further RBNZ rate cuts, possibly down to 2.75% by year-end. Additionally, the Financial Stability Report warned of severe downside risks from U.S.-China trade tensions.
Outlook:
The psychological level at 0.6000 has been breached, signaling a bearish shift. Unless global risk sentiment sharply improves or the Fed hints at imminent easing, the Kiwi may remain under pressure.
Key Levels:

  • Support: 0.5950, 0.5900, 0.5860
  • Resistance: 0.6000, 0.6030, 0.6065
Forecast: Bearish below 0.6000, with likely tests of 0.5950. A decisive break above 0.6030 could signal a short-term rebound, but upside remains limited without improved domestic data or global tailwinds.

May 9, 2025




Major Currencies:
Bitcoin (BTC/USD) Outlook:
Institutional Flows and Policy Signals Fueling Breakout
Market Overview:

Bitcoin continues to surge, bolstered by institutional inflows, favorable Treasury actions, and growing political support in the U.S. for crypto infrastructure. The crypto market is now clearly aligned with macroeconomic dynamics, with dollar liquidity and fiscal shifts playing a more important role than ever. Short squeezes and ETF inflows indicate broad-based confidence, not just retail speculation.
Forecast:
As long as Bitcoin holds above $95,715 (recent moving average area), the bullish breakout toward $100,756 remains the primary scenario. A break above $99,824 opens room to $102,501 and eventually $109,000. Short-term pullbacks toward $96,000; $97,000 are likely to be absorbed quickly by demand.
Key Levels:

  • Support: $95,715, $94,000, $91,500
  • Resistance: $99,824, $100,756, $102,501, $109,000

May 13, 2025



Major Currencies:
Oil (Crude Oil) Outlook:
Bullish Bias, Cautious Optimism
Oil prices surged on Monday, fueled by news of U.S.-China tariff relief and optimistic statements from Saudi Aramco and Russia’s Central Bank. Fundamentals appear to be stabilizing, but sentiment remains fragile, with any reversal in global trade optimism potentially pulling prices lower.
Key Levels:

  • Resistance: 66.44, 68.71
  • Support: 64.00, 62.81
Forecast:
Short-term momentum favors a push toward 66.44 and possibly 68.70. However, overly bullish sentiment and speculative longs may lead to a pullback if bullish catalysts fade. Holding above 64.00 is critical to maintain upward momentum.

Major Currencies:
Gold (XAU/USD) Outlook:
Soaring on Soft Dollar and Uncertainty

Gold surged past $3200/oz following weaker-than-expected U.S. inflation data and a broad decline in the U.S. dollar. Global risk aversion, unpredictable trade negotiations, and expectations of Fed rate cuts have all bolstered gold demand. Investor appetite for safe-haven assets remains strong amid geopolitical volatility and shaky equity markets.
Forecast:
The rally appears strong and could continue toward new highs if current dynamics persist. Any hawkish pivot from the Fed or easing of trade tensions could prompt profit-taking.

  • Upside Potential: Continued upward pressure could target $3250 and even $3300 in the short to medium term.
  • Downside Risk: A correction may find initial support at $3150, followed by stronger footing around $3105–$3120.
Support Levels: $3150, $3120, $3105
Resistance Levels: $3250, $3300

May 20, 2025




Major Currencies:
New Zealand Dollar (NZD/USD) Outlook:
The New Zealand dollar rose sharply on Monday, buoyed by broad USD weakness after the credit rating downgrade. However, local drivers remain subdued and China's mixed data may limit upside for the kiwi.
Weekly Forecast:

  • NZD/USD is likely to face resistance near 0.6040–0.6090, where selling pressure may build.
  • If price stalls at resistance, a reversal toward 0.5880–0.5830 is expected later in the week.
  • Global risk sentiment and Chinese demand remain pivotal for NZD direction.
Support: 0.5880 / 0.5830
Resistance: 0.6040 / 0.6090
Bias: Neutral-to-Bearish (Late Week)
Strategy: Look for short opportunities on confirmed rejection from resistance. Avoid chasing upside.

Major Currencies:
Canadian Dollar (USD/CAD) Outlook:
Stable, but Oil and U.S. Data Could Shift Balance

Although not detailed in the original input, USD/CAD generally remains sensitive to oil prices and U.S. macroeconomic data. The Canadian dollar has been relatively stable amid fluctuating energy prices and the broader trend in the U.S. dollar. With the Fed holding off on policy changes and oil prices recovering, the loonie may gain some modest strength.
Bank of Canada policy remains cautious but not dovish, especially as inflation remains sticky and wage growth continues. A shift in oil market dynamics or major U.S. data surprises could tilt the balance either way.
USD/CAD Summary

  • Outlook: Neutral to mildly bearish if oil strengthens
  • Support: 1.3600, 1.3540
  • Resistance: 1.3720, 1.3780
  • Forecast: A move below 1.3600 would support a CAD rebound. A break above 1.3780 could signal a bullish breakout for USD.

May 22, 2025



Silver (XAG/USD) Outlook:
Current Situation:
Silver has rallied sharply, trading above the $33 level for the first time in several weeks. The U.S. dollar's continued decline, driven by uncertainty about U.S. national debt and expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts, has boosted silver as a safe-haven and investment asset.
Support and Resistance:

  • Support Levels: Around $33.00 and $32.65
  • Resistance Levels: $33.25, $33.70, psychological level at $34.00
Outlook:
Silver appears poised to continue its rally, with a strong buying interest on pullbacks and momentum indicators supporting further upside. A sustained move above $33.25 could open the door to test resistance near $33.70 and potentially $34.00. On the downside, $33.00 is a critical support level, with further support near $32.65 and the 100-day averages around $32.00.

British Pound (GBP/USD) Outlook:
Pound Gains as Inflation Surprises to the Upside
Market Overview:

Sterling extended its rally after stronger-than-expected UK inflation data prompted a reassessment of the Bank of England's rate outlook. Inflation accelerated to 3.5% in April, reducing the probability of a summer rate cut and supporting sterling. Meanwhile, fading optimism over U.S.; China trade negotiations and heightened political uncertainty in the U.S. continue to weigh on the dollar.
Forecast:
GBP/USD remains bullish above 1.3394, with momentum likely to persist toward 1.3434 and potentially as high as 1.3520. However, should the pair fail to hold above 1.3394, a corrective pullback to the 1.3333 support is plausible. Broader trend continuation depends on maintaining strength above 1.3291.
Support Levels: 1.3382, 1.3333, 1.3291, 1.3121
Resistance Levels: 1.3434, 1.3520

Market Analysis and Forecasts


May 28, 2025



British Pound (GBP/USD) Outlook:
Analysis:
The pound held firm despite mixed U.K. data, supported by expectations that the Bank of England will ease rates cautiously, possibly starting in August. Market pricing suggests a higher-than-expected terminal rate, providing underlying support. However, growth concerns and potential Fed hawkishness could cap gains.
Key Drivers:

  • Dovish U.K. inflation outlook vs. resilient rate expectations.
  • U.S. data and Fed commentary remain pivotal for intraday direction.
  • Soft U.K. data fails to deter bullish sentiment due to moderate BoE stance.
Forecast:
If the price holds above 1.3542, a push toward 1.3593 is possible. Failure to hold support risks a decline toward 1.3474. Dollar strength from robust U.S. data could trigger this correction.
Support: 1.3542, 1.3474, 1.3434
Resistance: 1.3593, 1.3713

British Pound (GBP/USD) Outlook:
Forecast:
If 1.3435 fails to hold, a decline toward 1.3382 or 1.3333 becomes more likely. A rally back above 1.3522 is needed to revive bullish momentum.

  • Resistance: 1.3522, 1.3585, 1.3713
  • Support: 1.3474, 1.3434, 1.3382
Outlook: Neutral-to-Bearish
Bias: Correction likely to continue unless bulls defend 1.3435 with conviction.

British Pound (GBP/USD) Outlook:
Market Analysis:
The British pound showed resilience by reversing earlier losses and closing slightly higher on Thursday. Sterling remains buoyed by a combination of U.S. dollar weakness and hopes of progress in UK-U.S. trade talks. While market volatility persists due to the reimplementation of U.S. tariffs, the British pound has weathered the uncertainty better than other majors.
From a macroeconomic standpoint, persistent U.S. economic softness and rising jobless claims continue to build the case for rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. Meanwhile, the UK's macro outlook remains stable, with some optimism surrounding future trade developments.
Forecast:
If GBP/USD holds above 1.3454, further gains are likely toward 1.3585, with 1.3762 as the next key upside target. Continued weakness in the U.S. dollar would support this move. A drop below 1.3390, however, would shift focus back to the downside and could trigger a test of 1.3333 or lower.
Support Levels: 1.3454, 1.3435, 1.3390, 1.3333
Resistance Levels: 1.3522, 1.3585, 1.3762

June 2 - 6 , 2025



ECONOMIC FOCUS THIS WEEK
Thursday, June 5
  • European Central Bank Meeting:
    The ECB is poised to reduce interest rates by 25 basis points, with markets already pricing in this move. This would lower the deposit facility rate to 2.00% and the refinancing rate to 2.15%, marking the eighth rate cut since mid-2024.
    • Inflation in the eurozone appears to be cooling. April’s CPI was steady at 2.2%, while preliminary May figures are expected to come in at or near the 2.0% target.
    • Country-specific data support the disinflation trend: Germany’s inflation remained at 2.1% year-on-year in May, and France’s dropped to 0.7%.
    • GDP growth for Q2 is expected to slow, likely prompting a downward revision to ECB economic forecasts.
    • Divisions within the ECB Governing Council persist, with some members advocating further easing, while others urge caution.
    Forward guidance will be pivotal. If the ECB signals that it is nearing the end of its easing cycle—as markets currently anticipate—this could support the euro, particularly as the Fed remains on hold.
  • US Weekly Jobless Claims:
    The previous week saw initial claims climb to 240,000, with continuing claims rising to nearly 1.92 million. Further increases would raise concerns over the resilience of the labor market.
Friday, June 6
  • US Non-Farm Payrolls (May):
    This is the marquee release of the week. Consensus expects 130,000 new jobs to have been created, a marked slowdown from April’s 177,000.
    • The unemployment rate is expected to hold at 4.2%.
    • Wage growth is forecast to increase by 0.3% month-on-month but ease slightly to 3.7% on a year-over-year basis.
    • A strong print could support the US dollar and delay expectations for a July Fed rate cut. However, a disappointing report would likely heighten calls for policy easing and reinforce market pricing for two rate cuts by year-end.

June 3, 2025



British Pound (GBP/USD) Outlook:
Resilience Driven by Better UK Data, But U.S. Events Hold Sway
Market Analysis:

The British pound has shown resilience, underpinned by a stronger-than-expected UK manufacturing PMI. Despite underlying recession risks, investor sentiment has improved amid hopes the Bank of England may proceed cautiously with rate cuts.
Nonetheless, GBP/USD remains sensitive to USD direction, and strong U.S. economic data or hawkish Fed remarks could quickly drag the pair lower. The pound’s position near recent highs leaves it vulnerable to a pullback if risk sentiment deteriorates.
Key Drivers:

  • Positive UK economic surprises support GBP strength.
  • Any hawkish shift in U.S. monetary policy could weigh heavily on the pair.
  • The pound’s recent rally makes it susceptible to corrective moves.
Forecast:
Expect GBP/USD to trade between 1.3450 and 1.3585 in the coming sessions. A break below 1.3450 could suggest deeper correction, while a sustained move above 1.3585 may open the path to 1.3640.
Support levels: 1.3454, 1.3435, 1.3390
Resistance levels: 1.3522, 1.3585, 1.3640

June 4, 2025



British Pound (GBP/USD) Outlook:
Market Context:
The British pound reached multi-month highs near 1.3550, driven by resilient UK economic data and temporary dollar weakness. UK housing market strength and a better-than-expected manufacturing PMI continue to underpin the pound. However, its ability to climb further now hinges on U.S. macro data.
If U.S. JOLTS or factory orders surprise to the upside, it could lead to renewed dollar strength and pressure on GBP. Political uncertainty in the U.S. over trade policy remains a wildcard.
Support levels: 1.3512, 1.3454, 1.3435, 1.3390
Resistance levels: 1.3556, 1.3585
Forecast:

  • Cautious Bullish Bias remains above 1.3512, targeting 1.3556 and potentially 1.3585.
  • A break below 1.3454 could signal corrective downside movement, with 1.3390 being the key bearish confirmation.
