Last week I got surprised by strong USD. Not one of the expected predictions came true and therefore no trades have been taken in the $ pairs.
Last week news favored a stronger USD.
Inflation is still unexpected high despite aggressive rate hikes. It seems a 0.5 hike for the next meeting on Wednesday is already fully priced in. Further hikes in the coming months are likely.
On the other hand the markets seem very fragile and therefore an aggressive stance from the FED and other central banks might risk a further slowdown and even more volatility in the markets.
Therefore I still believe the strong $ is only temporary.
→ All the current Outlooks are based on MT weakening of the USD.
→ Outlook solely based on PA.
Wait for confirmation before entering a trade and consider FX correlation.
