US Dollar Rises As Middle East Tensions Drive Safe-Haven Demand. Forecast as ...
Monday, March 9,2026,02:59
The US labor market is so weak that it cannot withstand a strike. However, investors are concerned that the situation overseas is much more dire. The conflict in the Middle East has triggered a sell-off in the EUR/USD pair. Let's discuss this topic and make a trading plan. Major Takeaways US employment fell by 92,000. Iran is ready to continue the conflict with the US. Gas prices in Europe are rising faster than in the US. Short positions on the EUR/USD pair can be opened with targets of 1.145 and 1.135.

Monday, March 9,2026,02:46
Analysis of Trades and Trading Tips for the Japanese Yen The price test at 157.70 occurred when the MACD indicator was just beginning to move downward from the zero mark, confirming the correct entry point for selling dollars. As a result, the pair decreased by 25 pips, after which the pressure eased. Despite the U.S. non-farm sector losing 92,000 jobs and unemployment rising to 4.4% in February, the data did not provide significant support for the Japanese yen, which remains under pressure. This paradoxical result in the currency market raises questions about the reasons behind the current dynamics. On one hand, the negative dynamics in the U.S. labor market typically signal an economic ... .. read more..

Monday, March 9,2026,02:46
Analysis of Trades and Trading Tips for the British Pound The price test at 1.3342 occurred when the MACD indicator was just beginning to move upwards from the zero mark, confirming the correct entry point for buying pounds. As a result, the pair rose to the target level of 1.3381. The reduction in the number of jobs in the U.S. non-farm sector by 92,000 and the increase in unemployment to 4.4% in February are bad signs for the American economy. All this put pressure on the U.S. dollar last Friday. These figures, significantly worse than analysts' expectations, were a cold shower for traders who had hoped for further strengthening of the American currency following strong January employme... .. read more..

Monday, March 9,2026,02:45
Analysis of Trades and Trading Tips for the Euro Currency The price test at 1.1571 occurred when the MACD indicator had moved significantly below the zero mark, which limited the pair's downward potential. For this reason, I did not sell euros. The second test of 1.1571 led to the implementation of Scenario No. 2 to buy euros, resulting in a rise of 25 pips. The sudden collapse in the number of jobs in the U.S. non-farm sector by 92,000 caused a sharp decline in the value of the American currency. It is clear that increases in the unemployment rate and decreases in available vacancies directly affect consumer spending. People, feeling uncertain about the future, tend to cut back on their ... .. read more..
Intraday Trading Strategies for Beginners on March 9
Monday, March 9,2026,02:45
Today, the dollar rose despite the very weak U.S. labor market data released on Friday. The reason lies in the risk of a protracted war between the U.S., Israel, and Iran, as well as the destruction of energy infrastructure. The sharp decline in the number of non-farm jobs in the U.S. by 92,000 led to a swift drop in the American dollar. This figure, reflecting the state of the labor market, was significantly worse than analysts' forecasts, who anticipated an increase in job numbers. Such negative data typically signal a slowdown in economic growth or even a recession. However, as mentioned earlier, the situation has changed drastically today. Despite the increase in unemployment and the ... .. read more..
FX option expiries for 9 March 10am New York cut
Monday, March 9,2026,02:41
There is arguably just one to take note of on the day, as highlighted in bold below. That being for AUD/USD at the 0.7000 level. The pair managed to stave off a daily close below the figure level last week but the pressure is mounting amid an even bigger spike in oil prices to start the week. The expiries don't tie to any technical significance but could play a role in keeping price action hanging in there before rolling off later in the day. But as mentioned last week, there are bigger drivers of price action in the market at the moment. So, the impact of any option expiries needs to be taken in that context. As such, they are likely to be more muted as traders have to focus on the more ... .. read more..

Bitcoin Prepares for a New Decline
Monday, March 9,2026,01:57
Bitcoin continues to show no particular desire to rise. Last week, we saw prices increase from $63,500 to $74,000, but today the quotes dropped to $66,500. Thus, "digital gold" has failed to develop a "northern" impulse once again. We remind you that all movements over the past month (especially the last two weeks) are fully aligned with the technical picture. Two deviations from the lower boundary of the flat have resulted in a rise to the upper boundary. A deviation from the upper boundary of the flat has led to a return to the lower boundary. Meanwhile, one of the founders of Bitcoin Vector, well-known investor Willy Woo, stated that the current range is unlikely to be considered the "... .. read more..

When markets look chaotic, emotions matter more than portfolios
Monday, March 9,2026,01:00
Days like today are less about remodelling portfolios and more about managing emotions. The real cost of a selloff often comes later, when fear pushes investors out just before markets recover. The bigger risk in a selloff Days like today test investors twice. First, through falling prices. Second, through the urge to do something dramatic. That second test is often the more dangerous one. In sharp selloffs, the biggest risk is often not the market itself, but the investor’s emotional response to it. The hardest truth in investing is that long-term returns are not usually destroyed by one bad selloff. They are damaged when fear turns volatility into bad decisions. DALBAR’s lat... .. read more..

Monday, March 9,2026,00:59
Analysis of Macroeconomic Reports: There are very few macroeconomic reports scheduled for Monday. Essentially, the only noteworthy report is Germany's industrial production data for January, but who cares about industrial production right now? On Friday, traders largely ignored another failure of the American labor market and important reports. On Monday, the dollar skyrocketed again, along with oil and gas prices. This week, America and its allies might start a bloody ground war in Iran involving infantry and ground equipment, as missile strikes did not achieve their objectives. Tehran has not fallen and has not abandoned its nuclear program, retaliating for every strike on its territory... .. read more..

Monday, March 9,2026,00:47
Analysis of Friday's Trades: 1H Chart of the GBP/USD Pair The GBP/USD pair finally began to move upward on Friday, breaking through another descending trend line. As we can see, this movement had no lasting impact on Monday. Over the weekend, it was reported that American troops might soon begin a ground operation in Iran, aimed at destroying uranium stockpiles, which caused the GBP/USD pair to fall again on Monday. Thus, despite the absolutely disappointing labor market and unemployment data (and this is far from the only macroeconomic indicator that has failed in the U.S. recently), the dollar still rose amid another breakdown of the downward trend. The market continues to buy the U.S. ... .. read more..

Monday, March 9,2026,00:47
Analysis of Friday's Trades: 1H Chart of the EUR/USD Pair On Friday, the EUR/USD currency pair failed to show either growth or decline. The current situation in global markets is approaching the threshold of "panic." There are very few logical movements, if any. Everything revolves around the war in Iran and the consequences that have already devastated the markets within the first week of confrontation. Last night, oil prices rose to $120 per barrel, and yesterday it became known that Donald Trump is ready to order a ground military operation in Iran. Thus, the current state of the U.S. labor market, unemployment rates, inflation, and the decisions the Fed will make in the near future no... .. read more..

Sunday, March 8,2026,22:03
The GBP/USD currency pair continues its downward trend on the 4-hour timeframe, though at the end of last week, the British pound began to show signs of growth. As we recall, on Friday, disappointing Non-Farm Payrolls and unemployment reports were published, so any growth in the pair seems justified under the current circumstances. In the last month, the British pound has faced significant challenges, as a series of important UK reports showed weak figures and a full-scale war in the Middle East shocked global markets, forcing investors to flee riskier assets and currencies. Without this situation, the British pound would have long resumed its upward trend. Despite the war in Iran, which ... .. read more..
Overview of the EUR/USD Pair. Weekly Preview. Complete Uncertainty
Sunday, March 8,2026,22:03
The EUR/USD currency pair displayed surprising movements on Friday. It's worth recalling that we have often termed the dollar's rise irrational lately; however, in recent weeks, it could be explained by the war in Iran. The market has once again begun to use the U.S. dollar as a safe-haven asset, despite ongoing discussions throughout 2025 about its loss of "safe-haven" status. Nevertheless, a new war has commenced, and the market has not found any alternative to the dollar. However, what is truly surprising is that the market interprets nearly all factors in favor of the dollar. For example, we saw extraordinarily poor GDP growth rates for the fourth quarter just a week ago. The U.S. eco... .. read more..

Sunday, March 8,2026,22:03
Analysis of GBP/USD 5M The GBP/USD currency pair showed an upward movement on Friday. It was a struggle, but the macroeconomic background suggested a decline in the dollar. The market woke up only near the weekend's market close, and the GBP/USD pair rose to the Senkou Span B line. Therefore, if this line is exceeded at the beginning of the new week, the British pound may form a semblance of an upward trend for the first time in a month and a half. If there is a rebound from the Senkou Span B line or the geopolitical conflict in the Middle East escalates further, the pair's decline may resume quickly. Let us recall that the latest data from overseas do not bode well for either the America... .. read more..

Sunday, March 8,2026,22:03
Analysis of EUR/USD 5M The EUR/USD currency pair traded within a range on Friday, limited by the 1.1542 level and the 1.1657-1.1666 area. This is not a flat; it is a temporary pause before a new movement. Essentially, the market only focused on events in the Middle East for two days last week, while the other three days were spent awaiting developments, ignoring many macroeconomic data releases. The market is waiting to see whether there will be an escalation of the war in the Middle East, anticipating whether other countries will or will not enter the open conflict, and is waiting for Trump's decision on conducting a ground operation in Iran. If the situation in the region becomes more t... .. read more..
EUR/USD. Weekly Preview. CPI, Core PCE Index, Second GDP Estimate for the U.S.
Sunday, March 8,2026,18:47
The economic calendar for the upcoming week is packed with important releases that are sure to provoke strong volatility in the EUR/USD pair. The focus will be on inflation in the U.S. and the American labor market. Weak February Non-Farm Payrolls unexpectedly surprised dollar bulls, but market expectations regarding the Federal Reserve's future actions have hardly changed. Traders still believe that the central bank will keep all monetary policy parameters unchanged at its spring meetings, while the probability of an interest rate cut in June remains estimated at 30-35%, according to the CME FedWatch tool. In other words, "moderately hawkish" expectations have remained, despite the negat... .. read more..
American Dollar. Weekly Preview
Sunday, March 8,2026,18:47
Next week promises to be just as important and interesting as the previous one. Just a few hours ago, it became known that Donald Trump ordered the start of a ground military operation in Iran. At this point, nothing is known about the landing of troops on Iranian territory, but it is likely that there will be a ground operation aimed at destroying all uranium stockpiles. In my opinion, this is a serious deterioration of the situation in the Middle East, as a large-scale confrontation will now begin on the ground, not just in the air. Over the past week, Iran has demonstrated that it possesses a sufficient number of missiles to strike at all U.S. allies in the region. Let me remind you th... .. read more..
British Pound. Weekly Preview
Sunday, March 8,2026,18:47
The British pound is in a similarly difficult position as the European currency. Just two weeks ago, construction of a corrective structure could have been completed, but the situation in the Middle East has changed significantly, not only in currency markets but also in financial and energy markets. As a result, the unexpected leader remains the U.S. dollar. Demand for U.S. currency is rising, not because of positive economic data or changes in trade or immigration policies. Instead, demand for U.S. currency is growing amid capital outflows from riskier currencies and assets into safer ones. However, this is not news. In my view, the economic news background will remain secondary for the... .. read more..
Euro Currency. Weekly Preview

The European currency remains in a very difficult position after Donald Trump initiated military intervention in Iran. The construction of a downward corrective wave structure may have completed in the a-b-c formation, but events in the Middle East have made corrections. At this time, the corrective structure has taken on a five-wave form, but if the news background maintains the character of the past week, the downward wave structure could become more extended, and the entire wave pattern will require adjustments. Nothing is currently helping buyers. On Friday, U.S. data could have reasonably increased demand for the European currency or, more specifically, decreased demand for the Ameri... .. read more..

A technical look at the major currency pairs going into the new trading week
Friday, March 6,2026,15:44
EURUSD: GBPUSD: GBPUSD held support at an upward-sloping trendline on the hourly chart earlier today and then pushed higher, breaking above the 100-hour moving average and holding above it into the New York afternoon session. That move gives buyers something to build on in the near term. However, there is still work to be done to strengthen the bullish bias. The next upside hurdles include the 100-day moving average at 1.3395, followed by the falling 200-hour moving average at 1.3421. Beyond that, traders would need to contend with the 200-day moving average at 1.3442. In short, buyers have made progress, but clearing those resistance levels will be key to shifting the bias more firmly to... .. read more..

EUR/USD Analysis on March 6, 2026
Friday, March 6,2026,12:40
The wave structure on the 4-hour chart for the EUR/USD pair has taken on a not very desirable appearance, but it still raises no questions. There is still no talk of canceling the upward section of the trend that began in January of last year; only the internal wave structure is occasionally being adjusted. In my opinion, the pair has completed the formation of the global wave 4 (lower chart). If this assumption is correct, then wave 5 is currently being formed, which may become quite extended, with targets stretching up to the 25th level. The internal wave structure of the presumed wave 5 is not entirely unambiguous (upper chart). The upward wave sequence cannot be considered impulsive d... .. read more..

GBP/USD. Smart Money. What's wrong with the market?
Friday, March 6,2026,12:36
The GBP/USD pair continues the process of declining within a "bullish" trend. The only working pattern remains the "bearish" imbalance 16, but the bulls lacked literally 6–7 points to touch it last week and form a signal. The market has gone through the beginning of the war in the Middle East. The further decline of the pair now depends on how many countries become involved in the conflict and which countries, besides the nearest ones, Iran will strike. And Iran has no intention of stopping at what it has achieved and is striking everywhere its missiles can reach. Because of this, oil refining and liquefied gas production in the region have effectively stopped. And the Middle East supplie... .. read more..
EUR/USD. Smart Money. Another Failure of the U.S. Labor Market
Friday, March 6,2026,12:32
The EUR/USD pair was declining during the first two days of the week and has now been standing still for three days. If such movements on Wednesday and Thursday were understandable due to the weak news background, then just a couple of hours ago in the United States discouraging reports on the labor market and unemployment were released. Many traders felt a surge of optimism after the January Nonfarm Payrolls and unemployment reports, however I warned that it was too early to draw conclusions. January's figures turned out to be positive, which looked extremely strange and unusual. Throughout 2025, 181 thousand jobs were created in the United States, and by the results of January 2026 – 13... .. read more..
XAU/USD. Analysis and Forecast. Gold Weakens While Trying to Maintain Bullish...
Friday, March 6,2026,12:25
Gold is trading within the $5000–$5100 per ounce range, while the overall price tone remains positive as long as the XAU/USD pair holds above the 20-day SMA (Simple Moving Average). However, if there is a decisive break below the psychological level of $5000, a moderate correction cannot be ruled out. Momentum is weakening: the Relative Strength Index is close to the neutral zone, indicating that buyers are reluctant to continue aggressively pushing prices higher. In the short term, the XAU/USD pair may once again test the $5000 area, but for bulls the key support levels remain $5050 and the psychological level of $5000. A break below $5000 would open the way to the next level at $4950. A... .. read more..
XAU/USD. Analysis and Forecast
Friday, March 6,2026,12:23
Gold continues to trade below the 5100 level. Pressure on precious metals has come from rising U.S. Treasury yields and a stronger dollar, supported by solid U.S. employment data. Strong labor market statistics have offset the impact of geopolitical tensions, keeping the XAU/USD pair below 5100.
