Weekly Forecast September 23, 2018
Last week, we made no forecasts, as there were no strong counter-trend movements.
This week, we forecast that the AUD/USD currency pair will fall in value.
44% of the important currency pairs or crosses moved by more than 1% value over the past week. This volatility is relatively higher, and we expect it to be higher still over the coming week.
This week has been dominated by relative strength in the Australian Dollar, and relative weakness in the Japanese Yen.
