Weekly EUR/USD Outlook: 2017, December 24 - December 31 (based on the article)

EUR/USD traded higher in the last week before the holidays. Will it continue higher in the last week of 2017? We have some inflation figures just before the New Year. Here is an outlook for the highlights of this week.


  1. ECB Economic Bulletin: Thursday, 9:00. The European Central Bank publishes data that it uses in its rate decision, providing further insights about the state of the euro-zone economies.
  2. German CPI: Friday, during the European morning with the final release coming at 13:00. Prices in Europe’s third-largest economy rose by 0.3% in November and its early publication will shape the numbers for all the euro-zone. Draghi’s dovishness is based on poor inflation in the euro-zone. We’ll now get an early look while liquidity is super-low just ahead of the New Years’ Party.
  3. Spanish Flash CPI: Friday, 8:00. The fourth-largest economy in the euro-zone saw a bump up in inflation back in November, with 1.7% y/y. A slide back to 1.5% is on the cards in the first release for December.
  4. Monetary data: Friday, 9:00. M3 Money Supply, or the amount of money in circulation, stood at a stable annual growth rate of 5% y/y. A small drop to 4.9% is on the cards. Growth in private loans stood at 2.8% and is now predicted to pick up to 2.8%. In theory, a higher velocity of money implies higher inflation in the future.

DAX Index - ranging bullish; 12,816 and 11.879 are the keys for the bearish reversal (based on the article)

Weekly price is located above Ichimoku cloud for the ranging within 13,533 resistance and 12,816 support. The price is on testing the descending triangle pattern to below for the possible bearish breakdown to be started.


  • "The first target on a failed range breakout was the 12/18 gap (which has been filled) with the possibility then of seeing a move towards the low-end of the November/December range in the vicinity of 12940/810. In the event the DAX can hold up here sooner it could make its way back higher, but the fact the range breakout was negated so quickly suggests we may see more weakness first. "
  • "It’s thin holiday-trading conditions in financial markets, and will be the case for the remainder of the week. Markets will be closed on Monday for the New Year, so Friday is likely to see volume dry up again as it did last week heading into the long holiday weekend. It’ll be prudent for traders to take it slow until better market participation returns. January often times brings good price movement, which is the positive as the year quickly draws to a close."

Forecast and levels for GOLD (XAU/USD)

Sergey Golubev, 2017.12.30 13:08

GOLD (XAU/USD) - weekly bullish ranging for the bullish continuation or to the bearish reversal (based on the article)

Daily price is on ranging bullish condition located above Ichimoku cloud. The price is ranging within 1,236/1,299 support resistance levels for the bullish trnd to be continuing or for the bearish reversal to be started.


  • "Spot Gold: Retail trader data shows 69.7% of traders are net-long with the ratio of traders long to short at 2.3 to 1. The number of traders net-long is 7.4% lower than yesterday and 19.0% lower from last week, while the number of traders net-short is 4.7% higher than yesterday and 2.6% higher from last week."
  • "We typically take a contrarian view to crowd sentiment, and the fact traders are net-long suggests Spot Gold prices may continue to fall. Yet traders are less net-long than yesterday and compared with last week. Recent changes in sentiment warn that the current Spot Gold price trend may soon reverse higher despite the fact traders remain net-long."
