Market Overview

Weekly Forex Forecast is characterised by an elevated focus on currency flows, central-bank guidance, inflation readings and labour-market signals. The tone remains cautiously bullish for the US Dollar amid modest risk-off undertones. Major currency pairs such as EUR/USD, GBP/USD and USD/JPY are poised to trade within defined ranges, with breakouts possible should inflation surprises or central-bank commentary deviate materially from expectations. Traders will maintain disciplined risk management and watch for headline risk, especially macro readings from the US, Eurozone, UK and Australia. Liquidity may be somewhat thinner during the week due to public-holiday flows or reduced participation in certain sessions, enhancing the potential for sharper moves on high-impact data.

Previous Week Recap

Last week saw the US Dollar regain some footing after a period of softness, driven by moderately stronger than expected labour-market data and hawkish undertones from monetary-policy commentary. The Euro remained under pressure, weighed by weaker regional manufacturing data and recession concerns in the Euro-area. The British Pound oscillated in response to mixed UK economic indicators, while the Japanese Yen held as safe-haven interest picked up amid global growth concerns. Risk appetite remained intact, though volatility spiked around releases and central-bank speeches. Overall the market drifted rather than trending strongly, with major pairs gravitating toward key support or resistance zones.

Fundamental Outlook

I. Upcoming Macro-Events & Reports

Below is the calendar of major events for the upcoming week (all times local to each region’s currency unless stated otherwise).

Note: Calendar items may be amended or rescheduled; traders should monitor real-time feeds for changes.

II. Key Themes

• Inflation remains the dominant theme. If US data surprises to the upside, the USD likely strengthens; downside surprises could turn the focus toward potential policy easing, weighing on USD.
• Growth concerns in Europe and the UK may continue to challenge the EUR and GBP respectively, unless data are markedly stronger than feared.
• The commodity-currency block (AUD, NZD) remains sensitive to global risk sentiment and China growth signals; labour-market data from Australia is particularly important.
• With several high-impact events grouped mid-week, intraday volatility and range-expansion risk will likely increase.
• The interplay between the USD index (DXY), yield moves and risk-on/risk-off mood will remain pivotal in directional bias formation.

Technical Analysis

III. Chart Setup for Key Pairs

Notes:

• EUR/USD has been holding above its 1.07 region but is capped near the mid-1.09 level, suggesting a consolidative phase.
• GBP/USD shows a potential base near ~1.22, with upside resistance ~1.26, indicating a potential breakout scenario if UK data uplift.
• USD/JPY reflects strong bullish USD bias, with support near 151.50 and resistance near 156.00; a sustained break above could signal acceleration higher.

Weekly Forecast / Bias

For the week of 10 - 14 November 2025 the directional bias is as follows:

• EUR/USD: Slight Bearish to Neutral
  Expect modest downside pressure with the pair targeted within the 1.0720 – 1.0920 range. A break below 1.0720 could open further downside, while upside remains capped unless inflation surprises favour the euro or USD weakens sharply.
• GBP/USD: Neutral to Mild Bullish
  Anticipate a trading range between 1.2200 – 1.2600. A strong UK employment or GDP print could trigger a move toward the upper bound; weak data may drag back toward the bottom of the range.
• USD/JPY: Bullish
  With USD strength in focus, expect a test of the 151.50 – 156.00 range. A break above ~156.00 could accelerate further upside, perhaps toward 158.00+ in a favourable environment. Weak risk sentiment or intervention concerns could cap upside or pull back.

Across pairs the consensus is cautious. Without a major surprise, markets may grind sideways within the ranges, with sharp moves reserved for data surprises or policy surprises. The USD remains the key driver if US inflation or consumption comes in stronger than expected, USD strength may persist; if weaker, USD could give back gains and prompt risk-on rebound across non-USD pairs.

Key Levels Summary

Trading Notes

• Headline risk: With several inflation and GDP prints scheduled, traders should brace for sharp moves around release timing. Maintaining tight stops and reducing size ahead of high-impact data is advisable.
• DXY Correlation: The US Dollar Index (DXY) remains a strong barometer of USD strength. Watch for its reaction around major releases; divergence from DXY may offer early warning signals.
• Consensus insights: Market consensus appears priced for modest outcomes. As such, upside surprises (higher inflation, stronger growth) may trigger outsized moves relative to downside misses.
• Liquidity and session timing: Given potential public-holiday or lower-liquidity periods (e.g., major markets closed) intraday pricing may be more volatile and gap risk may increase.
• Support/resistance integrity: Many moves may reverse near identified key levels; respect these zones and monitor for breakout confirmation rather than assumption of trend continuation.
• Inter-market influences: Commodity currencies, equities and bond yields may feed back into currency flows. For example an equity pull-back or yield drop may weaken commodity-linked currencies and indirectly lift safe-haven USD/JPY.

Final Checklist

• Verify all upcoming event times in your trading platform’s local time zone.
• Enter key support and resistance levels into your trading platform with alerts.
• Before high-impact events reduce open exposure or hedge positions if you are long or short ahead of releases.
• Monitor DXY trend and yield curve changes, as these often precede currency moves.
• Ensure appropriate risk:reward on any trade, keeping position size aligned with risk tolerance.
• Note that ranges provided are not guarantees; use stop-loss orders and adjust for slippage.
• Maintain emphasis on execution discipline – avoid overtrading in low-liquidity periods.
• Review calendar immediately post-release for actual vs forecast divergence and adjust bias accordingly.
