Crude oil futures close at $68.45
Friday, July 11,2025,15:11
Crude oil futures settled at $68.45, up $1.88 or 2.82% on the day. For the week, prices gained $2.13, marking a 3.2% increase. These gains come despite an unexpected rise in OPEC+ production of 548K barrels heading into the week. However, some support emerged midweek when OPEC+ floated the idea of pausing upcoming output hikes, signaling a more cautious stance. Running counter to the price action was a surprise build of 7 million barrels in U.S. crude inventories reported by the EIA. While that would normally be bearish, the report also showed drawdowns in gasoline and distillate stocks, providing a more balanced outlook. Adding to the upside momentum were headlines surrounding Russian sa... .. read more..

NZDUSD ends the week between key moving averages as traders await next direct...
Friday, July 11,2025,13:08
The NZDUSD started the week under pressure, with the move lower beginning near the 200-hour moving average, which sat at 0.6061 at the time. Monday's high reached 0.6058, but sellers leaned against that level, triggering a move to the downside. The decline extended into Tuesday and Wednesday, with the pair breaking below the 50% retracement of the May low-to-June high rally, which comes in at 0.5982. While the pair traded below that key level on three separate occasions, including a Wednesday low of 0.5975, it failed to build sustained momentum below the midpoint. A rebound began midweek, with the price climbing to a high of 0.6042 early in Friday’s Asian session—once again just shy of th... .. read more..

USDJPY moves above the 38.2% of the move down from the 2025 trading range
Friday, July 11,2025,11:22
The USDJPY has moved above the 38.2% retracement of the 2025 trading range, measured from the January 10 high to the April 22 low. That retracement level comes in at 147.135, and it's aligned with a key swing area between 147.014 and 147.338. The pair has extended to a high of 147.515, marking the third attempt to break and hold above this level since the April low. Previous moves above the 38.2% retracement—on May 12 and June 23—ultimately failed to hold, but this renewed push gives buyers another opportunity to seize control. From a technical perspective, staying above 147.135 is now critical. If that support holds, upside targets include the June high at 148.019, followed by the May hi... .. read more..

EURUSD trapped between swing area support and moving average resistance
Friday, July 11,2025,10:26
The EURUSD continues to find solid support in the 1.1663 to 1.1691 zone, a key technical floor that dates back to April–November 2021. The pair has repeatedly tested this area this week, with buyers stepping in on each dip, reinforcing its significance. A break below this support zone would be needed to shift the short-term bias more clearly to the downside. On the upside, the pair has pushed back toward the 100-hour moving average (blue line, currently near 1.1713), but sellers have leaned against that level, capping momentum and keeping the price confined. The 200-hour moving average, now near 1.1745, adds another layer of resistance. For now, price action remains trapped between well-d... .. read more..
USDCAD retraces all the declines on jobs.
Friday, July 11,2025,10:15
The USDCAD spiked higher on the tariff news at the start of the day (see the spike higher on the 5-minute chart above). However, the USDCAD moved lower following stronger-than-expected Canadian jobs data. Buyers stepped in at earlier lows in the Asian session, but quickly found its footing as buyers emerged. Technically, the pair dipped below the 100-hour moving average at 1.3675 on the decline, found support near the earlier session low. That bounce led initially to a retest of the 100-hour MA. However,, after breaking back above, sellers flipped to buyers. A second test of support on the 5-minute chart once again attracted demand, reinforcing bullish sentiment and giving buyers the conf... .. read more..
USDCHF tests key moving averages as sellers lean against 0.8000 resistance
Friday, July 11,2025,09:49
The USDCHF continues to struggle with upside momentum, as the pair remains capped below the 0.8000 level, a key ceiling that has held since June 30. This week, buyers once again tested the swing area between 0.7986 and 0.7994, but the rally stalled just shy of the 38.2% retracement, with Tuesday’s high peaking at 0.79935. The failure to break through that resistance has turned the focus lower. The pair is now trading back and forth around the 100-hour moving average at 0.79629, with the 200-hour MA at 0.79458 serving as the next key downside target. A move below both moving averages would tilt the short-term bias back to the downside (more bearish). The price has been trading above and be... .. read more..
GBPUSD moved down to swing area on the weekly chart.
Friday, July 11,2025,09:18
The GBPUSD has been steadily moving lower in today’s trading. The decline has been fueled by weaker UK economic data and a broader wave of US dollar strength, as markets respond to the inflationary implications of higher U.S. tariffs. Additionally, rising concerns over slower global growth have supported safe-haven flows into the dollar, adding further pressure to the pound. Looking at the weekly chart, the USDCAD has dipped into a key swing area dating back to 2016, which spans between 1.3411 and 1.3514. Today’s low reached 1.3495, with a modest bounce currently taking the pair to around 1.3504. On the hourly chart below, the price decline today has broken below the 61.8% retracement lev... .. read more..
USDCAD moves lower after better employment data. What next?
Friday, July 11,2025,08:56
The USDCAD moved lower after the stronger-than-expected Canadian jobs data: Canada’s June employment report showed stronger-than-expected job growth, with total employment rising by 83.1K, well above the 0.0K expected and the prior month’s 8.8K gain. The increase was driven primarily by part-time employment, which surged by 69.5K, while full-time jobs increased by a modest 13.5K. The employment boost, sent the unemployment rate down to 6.9%, from 7.0% and the estimate of 7.1% . The participation rate edged higher to 65.4% from 65.3%. Meanwhile, average hourly wages for permanent workers slowed slightly to 3.2% y/y, down from 3.5% previously. Overall, the report reflects a resilient labor ... .. read more..

USD/JPY. Analysis and Forecast
Friday, July 11,2025,08:21
Earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump imposed 25% tariffs on all Japanese exports to the United States, which will take effect on August 1. This move exacerbates Japan's economic challenges, which, coupled with declining real wages and signs of weakening inflation, will likely force the Bank of Japan to abandon plans to raise interest rates this year. Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba described the decision as extremely unfortunate and emphasized that bilateral negotiations would continue in pursuit of a mutually beneficial agreement. Japan is hoping to arrange a meeting between chief negotiator Ryosei Akazawa and U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent during his visit to the World Exp... .. read more..
The USD moves higher as Trump tariff inflation risk increases
Friday, July 11,2025,08:13
The USD is higher to start the US session vs the EUR, JPY and GBP. The EURUSD has seen down and up price action, erasing most of the declines to start the US session. The GBPUSD is down by about -0.44% after the UK economy showed weaker-than-expected data for May. The GDP Estimate fell by -0.1%, missing expectations of +0.1%, though slightly better than April’s -0.3%. Additionally, UK Manufacturing Output plunged by -1.0%, far worse than the expected -0.1%, and below both the previous -0.9% and revised -0.7% figures. These disappointing results weighed on the pound and supported further downside in GBPUSD. The USDJPY is higher by 0.47% to start the day. The video above outlines the key te... .. read more..

Friday, July 11,2025,07:49
Trade Review and Tips for Trading the Japanese Yen The price test at 146.83 occurred when the MACD indicator had already moved far below the zero line, limiting the pair's downward potential. Shortly afterward, the same level was tested again—this time with the MACD in the oversold zone—allowing Scenario #2 for buying the dollar to play out. As a result, the pair rose by more than 30 points. The market seems to be waiting for more substantial drivers that could push USD/JPY out of its current range. Investors have adopted a wait-and-see approach, hesitant to act ahead of important events. Current volatility remains low, reflecting uncertainty among market participants.

Trade Review and Tips for Trading the British Pound The price test at 1.3547 occurred when the MACD indicator had just begun moving downward from the zero line, confirming a valid entry point for selling the pound. As a result, the pair dropped by 17 points. The pound declined following the news that the UK's GDP contracted by 0.1% in May. This unexpected development raised investor concerns about the resilience of the British economy amid global uncertainty. Growth prospects remain unclear, especially considering ongoing inflationary challenges. Many analysts believe the Bank of England is likely to continue easing monetary policy, which would further weaken the pound. Today, without any... .. read more..

Friday, July 11,2025,07:01
Trade Review and Tips for Trading the Euro The price test at 1.1694 occurred when the MACD indicator had already risen significantly above the zero line, limiting the pair's upward potential. Given the expected lack of market reaction to the Italian Consumer Price Index and German Producer Price Index data, EUR/USD fluctuations remained relatively subdued. For this reason, I did not consider the 1.1694 test a strong signal to buy the euro. It is quite possible that the market is positioning itself for more meaningful events, such as the upcoming European Central Bank and Federal Reserve meetings. However, we are unlikely to see strong, directional movement by the end of this week. In the ... .. read more..

Despite early selling pressure following yesterday's bullish trend, the market showed a strong bullish sentiment. This was reflected in the outperformance of small- and mid-cap stocks, cyclical sectors, and gains in nine out of eleven S&P 500 sectors.

Forecast for EUR/USD on July 11, 2025
Friday, July 11,2025,06:44
On Thursday, the EUR/USD pair continued its decline toward the 1.1645 level, while the 127.2% Fibonacci corrective level at 1.1712 was largely ignored by traders. A rebound from 1.1645 would favor the euro and could lead to a moderate rise toward 1.1712. A firm close below 1.1645 would increase the likelihood of a further decline toward the next Fibonacci level at 100.0% – 1.1574. The wave pattern on the hourly chart remains simple and clear. The most recent upward wave broke above the previous peak, and the current downward wave has not approached the previous low. This suggests that the trend remains bullish.

Forecast for GBP/USD on July 11, 2025
Friday, July 11,2025,06:20
On the hourly chart, the GBP/USD pair on Thursday rebounded from the resistance zone of 1.3611–1.3633 and resumed its decline toward the 127.2% Fibonacci level at 1.3527. A rebound from this level would favor the pound and a potential rise toward the 1.3611–1.3633 level. A firm close below 1.3527 would increase the likelihood of a further decline toward the next corrective level at 100.0% – 1.3444. The wave structure continues to suggest a bullish trend. The last completed upward wave broke above the previous high, and the two following downward waves have not breached its low.

Futures contracts on the S&P 500 and European equities fell by 0.2% following Trump's statement that he plans to impose a universal tariff rate of 15% to 20%, up from the current 10%.
