Weekly Forecast Based on Simplified Wave Analysis for GBP/USD, AUD/USD, USD/CHF, EUR/JPY, EUR/GBP, and the U.S. Dollar Index – February 17th

Analysis:

The downward wave has shaped the short-term movement of the British pound for the past six months. Since mid-January, a counter-trend bullish wave has been forming, showing strong reversal potential. Currently, the price is near the upper boundary of a major weekly reversal zone.

Forecast:

At the start of the upcoming week, sideways movement is expected, with a possible decline toward support before a reversal and price recovery. The resistance zone is located at the lower boundary of the preliminary target area.

  • Support: 1.2550 – 1.2500

Recommendations:

  • Buying: Becomes viable once confirmed reversal signals appear near support.

AUD/USD

Analysis:

The downward wave pattern in the Australian dollar has been completed. Over the past two weeks, prices have formed a bullish reversal wave of a higher wave level. The final section (C) is currently forming, and the price has reached the lower boundary of a potential reversal zone.

Forecast:

In the coming days, the pair is likely to continue its sideways movement with a slight upward bias. A test of resistance and a brief breakout of its upper boundary is possible. However, by the weekend, a reversal and decline are more likely.

USD/CHF

Analysis:

Since late December, an upward wave has defined the movement of USD/CHF. However, this wave now appears to be complete. Since early February, the pair has been in a correction phase, which is nearing its final stage.

Forecast:

Throughout the week, a sideways movement is expected. In the next few days, a bearish bias is more likely, with potential pressure on the lower support boundary. A reversal and renewed growth may occur by the end of the week.

EUR/JPY

Analysis:

The incomplete upward wave pattern in EUR/JPY has been developing since August 5. The price extremes form a shifting horizontal plane, with one final wave section yet to be completed. The calculated resistance level is at the lower boundary of a weekly reversal zone.

Forecast:

A downward trend is expected in the coming days, followed by a sideways drift after touching the support zone. A temporary breakout below support is possible, with an increased likelihood of an upward reversal by the weekend.

Forecast:

During the first half of the week, sideways movement is likely, with a possible test of resistance. A trend reversal and decline toward support are expected after resistance is tested.

Forecast:

In the coming days, the current decline should conclude. A reversal is expected near support, leading to a resumption of dollar strength by the end of the week or early next week.

Potential Reversal Zones:

  • Resistance: 107.80 – 108.00
  • Support: 106.30 – 106.10

Recommendations:
