As the U.S. Dollar continues its bearish momentum, traders are watching closely for a potential follow-through or a bullish reversal. With key economic events and global market dynamics at play, here are three possible scenarios for the Dollar's movement in the coming days.
Scenario 1: Bearish Follow-Through – Continued Weakness
The Dollar remains unattractive due to stagflation concerns and uncertainty around the Fed's next move. If the Dollar taps into the Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) without closing above them, we could see a continuation of the downside trend.
Scenario 2: Upside Reversal – Invalidation of Bearish Volume Imbalances
The recent low presents a potential liquidity pool, which institutions might exploit to trigger an upside reversal. Additionally, high CPI and PPI numbers could pressure the Fed to reconsider rate hikes, supporting a bullish move for the Dollar.
Scenario 3: Range-Bound Movement – Awaiting a Catalyst
With key data releases on the horizon, including the GDP Growth Rate on February 27, the Dollar may remain range-bound until a significant catalyst triggers a breakout or breakdown. Positive growth data could offset inflation worries and support the Dollar’s recovery.
Approach on USD Pairs
AUDUSD – Testing Key Resistance
AUD pierced through the 0.63674 level but has yet to confirm a breakout.
Expected Rate Cut is Out
We had a strong rejection as a rate cut is not good for the Aussie. But overall, AUD is still bullish technically unless proven otherwise, if the level does not hold for bullish bias.
NZD – Retesting the Daily Fair Value Gap 0.56793 - 0.57155
NZD is retesting the Daily FVG (0.56793 - 0.57155) after a fresh breakout. As long as the price stays above this range, the bullish momentum is expected to continue.
EUR Potential Retracement at the 1.04297 - 1.04463 Level
EUR remains sluggish amid low liquidity following the U.S. Bank Holiday. Attention is also on the upcoming Russia-Ukraine peace talks, which could influence market sentiment.
UK100 – Boosted by Defense Stocks
Defense stocks are driving UK100 higher as the Europe Aerospace & Defense Index gained +1.62%.
GBPUSD – Strong Bullish Momentum
GBP continues to show strength above 1.26139. A break above 1.26345 would signal continued upside, while a pullback to the 1.25683 - 1.25757 level could provide a bullish entry point.
USDCAD – Retracing at Imbalance Zone
CAD remains strong amid delayed tariffs, but a retracement at the previous imbalance could lead to a bearish reaction.
USDCHF – Range-Bound with No Clear Direction
USDCHF remains range-bound, with no clear bearish follow-through. A move towards equilibrium could present new trading opportunities.
GAS – Bearish Breakdown Below 3.586
GAS reacted at the FVG and broke below 3.586, signaling continued downside pressure.
GOLD – Regaining Momentum Near Equilibrium
If Gold breaks above the 50% range, it could reach the higher end of the range, maintaining its bullish outlook.
OIL – Picking Up Steam for Upside Potential
Oil is testing the 50% equilibrium level of its range. A confirmed breakout could signal a bullish reversal.
