🔗 Essential Weekly Economic Calendar

Before diving into technical and macro analysis, your first stop should always be the weekly economic schedule:

🔗 ForexFactory Weekly Calendar:

This calendar provides real-time updates on global data releases including CPI, labor reports, PMI, central bank speeches, and more — all of which can move forex markets.

📈 Macro Themes Driving Forex This Week

1️⃣ U.S. Inflation & Labor Data Still Central

U.S. inflation dynamics and labor market strength continue to define USD bias and interest rate expectations.

If CPI comes hotter than expected:

• USD strength likely resumes
• Core macro pairs such as EUR/USD and GBP/USD may retrace recent gains

🔗 CPI & inflation tracker (BLS):

2️⃣ ECB & BoE Commentary

With the European Central Bank and Bank of England speeches scheduled, traders should watch policy bias shifts that influence euro and pound momentum.

A more hawkish tone from ECB or hawkish nuance from BoE could trigger:

• Euro strengthening
• GBP volatility

🔗 ECB press releases:

🔗 Bank of England policy updates:

3️⃣ Geopolitical Risk & Oil Prices

Tensions in the Middle East and supply discussions have been pushing oil prices higher, impacting commodity currencies like CAD and AUD.

Oil inventories and geopolitics can:

• Support CAD via oil price correlation
• Increase FX volatility during data gaps

📉 Technical Chart Analysis (Major Pairs & Assets)

🇺🇸 USD/JPY — Key Levels to Watch

Technical Bias: Neutral-to-Bullis

Support Zones:

• 149.20 (daily swing support)
• 148.00 (psychological floor)

Resistance Zones:

• 150.25 (near term)
• 151.00 (key breakout)

Analysis:
Bullish momentum persists above 149; a clean break above 150.25 may signal continuation. Watch BOJ commentary for catalysts.

🇪🇺 EUR/USD — Confluence Around Mid-Range

4

Support Zones:

• 1.1800 (important psychological level)
• 1.1750 (daily low cluster)

Resistance Zones:

• 1.1900 (recent high)
• 1.1950 (monthly supply)

Analysis:
EUR/USD remains range-bound unless inflation surprises shift yield expectations. Breaks below 1.1750 or above 1.1900 likely signal directional bias.

🥇 Gold (XAU/USD) — Real Yield Dynamics

Support Levels:

• $1,965
• $1,940

Resistance Levels:

• $2,000
• $2,030

Analysis:
Gold’s direction this week is tied more to real yields and safe-haven flows than headline volatility alone. A break above $2,000 would increase bullish sentiment.

🛢 Oil Influence on FX

Oil dynamics influence:

• USD/CAD
• AUD/USD
• New Zealand dollar pairs

If oil inventories decline and geopolitical risks rise, expect commodity-linked FX to strengthen versus the dollar.
