GBPUSD
The GBPUSD pair is trading around 1.2630, maintaining its position above the 1.2546 resistance level.
This stability supports the continuation of the upward movement,
with a potential target of 1.2810, especially as the U.S. dollar remains weak in recent sessions.
USDJPY
The Japanese yen strengthens against the U.S. dollar,
driven by ongoing dollar weakness and the Bank of Japan’s recent rate hike.
The pair has retreated to 149.24, nearing the 148.62 support level;
a break below 148.62 could lead to further declines toward 145.87.
On the other hand, If a reversal pattern forms, the pair may see an upward correction
toward 151.00 before resuming its downtrend.
Dow Jones
The Dow Jones Index experienced some declines last week,
following weaker U.S. retail sales data, which signaled a slowdown in consumer spending.
The index dropped to the 43,310 pivot zone, and if this level is broken,
further declines toward the next demand zone at 42,000 could be expected.
U.S. Dollar Index
The U.S. dollar remains under pressure, driven by uncertainty over Trump’s tariffs,
which have prompted retaliatory measures from other countries.
Additionally, weaker retail sales have heightened concerns about a slowing economic growth outlook.
The index fell to 106.58, breaking the 106.73 support level.
Further declines toward 105.49 are expected if weakness persists.
AUDUSD
Signs of a trend reversal have emerged in the AUDUSD pair recently.
The pair has formed accumulation zones and successfully broke above the 0.6349 key level,
closing higher. This breakout supports the continuation of the upward movement,
with a target set at the 0.6550 resistance level in the coming period.
