US DOLLAR: OUTLOOK FOR AUGUST 28 - SEPTEMBER 1
15:45 25.08.2017
During the past week, the US dollar index (DXY) continued consolidation.
Recent releases weren’t very optimistic: manufacturing PMI and home sales both declined. Donald Trump threatened to shut down the US government over funding for a border wallon Wednesday. The market is concerned that the Congress won’t easily raise the debt ceiling and deliver on tax reform.
There will be a lot of economic updates in the coming days: the US will release consumer confidence on Tuesday, ADP employment report and preliminary GDP for the second quarter on Wednesday, core PCE price index and personal spending on Thursday and NFP together with ISM manufacturing PMI on Friday. All in all, we’ll get a pretty much new information about America’s economic health. The quality of these statistics will be very important for further direction of the greenback. Another important driver of the market will be the speech of the Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen at Jackson Hole on Friday evening (August 25).
The greenback remains within the overall downtrend. A close above 93.50 is needed for the DXY to start reversing up. Next resistance levels will be at 94.00 and 94.50. A break below 93.00 will lead to 92.50 and 92.00.
EUR/USD: OUTLOOK FOR AUGUST 25 - SEPTEMBER 1
15:48 25.08.2017
EUR/USD kept trading near the benchmark line of 200-week MA (1.1760). The euro continued its consolidation and stayed within a narrower range.
ECB President Mario Draghi avoided giving any clues on the European Central Bank’s current thinking in his speech in Germany. According to Draghi, central banks must be open-minded on policy innovations as they prepare for future economic developments. Another speech at Jackson Hole on Friday evening will set the tone for the next trading days. Other comments from the ECB policymakers were hawkish and bullish for the euro.
European economic data were mostly bright. Euro zone business growth maintained solid pace in August due to a strong manufacturing PMI, although the region’s services PMI declined. German Ifo business climate surprised to the upside.
In the upcoming days, there will be some data releases of medium importance in the euro area. Pay attention to German preliminary CPI on Wednesday and flash consumer inflation figures for the entire euro zone on Thursday: these figures will be crucial for further ECB policy and, consequently, will move the market.
EUR/USD remains within the overall uptrend. Only a decline below 1.1650 will mean reversal to the downside. This level will become in focus if the euro slips below 1.1765 and 1.1690. An increase above 1.1845 is needed for the uptrend to continue. In this case, further bullish targets will lie at 1.1900 and 1.2000.

NZD/USD: BULLS ARE IN STRATEGIC RETREAT
10:16 28.08.2017
Recommendation:
BUY 0.7335
SL 0.727
TP1 0.7425 TP2 0.7485 TP3 0.756
On the daily chart, NZD/USD keeps forming a 5-0 pattern. To restore the uptrend, bulls need to conquer resistances at 0.7278, 0.7335 and 0.7386. A pullback to 50% of the wave CD allowed 5-0 to finally form.
On H1, there are “Wolfe waves” and a “Shark” patterns. A break of resistance at 0.7335 will be a signal for opening long positions. As the target, one can use 113% of the wave XC.
AUD/USD IS BECOMING STALE ON A LEDGE
10:38 28.08.2017
Recommendation:
BUY 0.796
SL 0.7905
TP1 0.802 TP2 0.807
On the daily chart, AUD/USD bulls are trying to resume the uptrend. For that they have to conquer resistance at 0.7960 and return the pair to the short-term rising channel. In such circumstances, advance to 200% target of AB=CD has all chances to continue.
On H1, AUD/USD keeps forming corrective pattern “Spike and ledge” on the basis of 1-2-3. A break of resistance at 0.7960 will increase the odds of reaching 88.6% and 113% targets of the Shark.
The last "Pennant" has been broken, so bulls pushed the price higher. Also, we've got a "V-Top" pattern, so the price is consolidating. In this case, the market is likely going to test the nearest support at 1.1892 - 1.1875. If a pullback from these levels happens, there'll be an opportunity to have another bullish price movement.
There's a "V-Top" pattern, which has been confirmed. However, bulls are likely going to test the last local high during the day. If we have a pullback from this level, bears will probably try to achieve the closest support at 1.1892 - 1.1875.
The 55 Moving Average has acted as resistance, so we've got a "V-Top" pattern on this line. Therefore, bears are likely going to test the nearest support at 1.2853 - 1.2831 in the short term. If a pullback from this area happens, bulls will have a green light to reach the 89 MA.
There's an "Exhaustion Gap", so we've got a "V-Top" pattern, which led to a decline. However, the last high is likely going to be tested during the day. Meanwhile, we should keep an eye on the next support at 1.2853 - 1.2848 as an intraday target.
There's a triangle in wave [iv], so there's a new local high. It seems like wave [v] of 3 is going to be continued. So, if +2/8 MM Level turns out to be broken, we're going to have an updated MM Levels graphing.
Wave [iv] has been ended on 1/8 MM Level, so we've got an upward impulse in wave (i). In this case, we could have wave (ii) in the coming hours. If a pullback from 3/8 MM Level happens littel later on, there'll be an opportunity to have wave (iii) of [v].
