GBP/USD:BUY From Support Area For A LONG Setup GBP/USD has booked the second straight week of 2023 in the green, as sellers refuse to give up on the United States Dollar (USD) amid dovish US Federal Reserve (Fed) expectations. Despite the recent hawkish commentary from the Federal Reserve policymakers, endorsing a peak rate in the range of 5%-5.25% to tame inflation, investors failed to pay any heed and fuelled hopes of a Fed slowdown on rate hikes, which continued to exert bearish pressure on the US Dollar against its major rivals. The GBP/USD in the last 2 sessions make a pullback on the previous resistance area and today the price seems ready to have a new Bullish impulse. We are looking for a Long setup.

The Core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, fell to 5.7% from 6%.

EUR/USD:SELL From Strong Resistance For A SHORT SetupToday at 13:30 GMT the US Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures for December and as we get closer to the release time, the forecasts by the economists and researchers of the major banks regarding the upcoming US inflation they show a decline to 6.5% from 7.1% in November and see the Core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, edging lower to 5.7% from 6%. On a monthly basis, the CPI is forecast to stay unchanged while the Core CPI is projected to rise by 0.3%.
Commerzbank says:
“In the US, inflation is clearly on the retreat. From its peak of 9.1% in June, the YoY rate most recently fell to 7.1% in November. For December, we forecast a further decline to 6.4%. Used car prices are likely to have fallen by almost 3% in December from November. We therefore also expect the Core inflation rate to decrease from 6.0% to 5.6%. This would mean a continuation of the easing in inflation – a trend that should continue in 2023. However, we stand by our assessment that the fundamental inflation problem will not be solved. A sustained return to 2% inflation is likely to be prevented by demographically induced labor shortages, the costs of climate policy, and increasing protectionism.”
Looking at the Technical analysis, the price is still inside an accumulation area where we await a breakout to the bearish side with the price not reaching the 1.0800

Our Idea is about a stop and reversal of the recent rally with the price drop until the area level 1.2000
Long - GBPAUDWaiting for confirmation. Do not enter on my analysis yet.
Looking for a break up towards 1.82 again. I think there is still some downside pressure on this pair though, and it could slip down to around 1.75 before bouncing. Seeing an ascending triangle forming currently. Let’s watch for an entry later this week or next.

EUR/USD:SELL From Resistance Area For A SHORT Setup The optimism around the European currency remains well and sound and prompts EUR/USD to keep the trade in the upper end of the recent range near 1.0760 midweek. Today the EUR/USD is up for the fourth consecutive session, although further upside now appears somewhat contained amidst persistent prudence among traders in light of Thursday’s release of US inflation figures measured by the CPI for the month of December. The European currency is expected to closely follow dollar dynamics, the impact of the energy crisis on the region, and the Fed-ECB divergence. The increasing speculation of a potential recession in the bloc emerges as an important domestic headwind facing the euro in the short-term horizon.
Our Technical view shows the pair inside a ranging area with a Stochastic in an overbought area and the Stop loss at 1.0800
USD/JPY:BUY From 61.8% FIBO Level Pullback For A LONG SetupUSD/JPY is still in a consolidation area.

Based on our analysis, the pullback on the 61.8% Fibo in confluence with the re-test of the dynamic trendline may push the price higher at least to reach the previous swing high, a possible extension of this movement to area 100% Fibo extension isn't to exclude. The stochastic in 4Hours shows an oversold scenario and our Forecast is about a new Raising of the USD/JPY value.
