Currencies:
As mentioned in last weeks blog. The USD has been ranging for some time, but we were leaning to more upside. We have now seen the dollar start to make its move up. However, we do need to be weary that we are coming up to certain levels where we could bounce from and see some sort of reaction.
(Advanced group members are aware of what to be watching – if you are on the Advanced course and you are wanting to get involved then send @bsapps a message on telegram at the end of the month, in time for the enrolment on the 1st of the month.)
Due to the dollar making its move up, we have seen pairs such as EUR/USD make its move down. BSAPPSFX students are aware that we will be looking for any valid pullback in line with our strategy to take this short.
We do need to be weary that tonight and tomorrow we do have high impact fundamentals with the dollar, such as FOMC and Retail sales. This could cause the picture on the dollar to change so we will be keeping a close eye on these.
We also have high impact fundamentals for most of the currencies this week – this could cause some volatility so trade with caution.

Commodities:
In the Q2_Week_20 blog post, it was mentioned that we were going to wait for a deeper pullback on GOLD. We are now seeing that pullback happen, this makes sense now that we are starting to see some dollar strength. We will be watching this closely in the coming weeks
Potential Set Ups: GBP/NZD
GBPNZD – 4HR
GBPNZD – 1HR
We are watching GBP/NZD for a long position. We are looking to target 1.98944.
