Forex Market Holding its Breath for FOMC Statement 2015.10.28

EUR/USD

4 hour

The EUR/USD will be heavily impacted by the FOMC rate decision and statement later today. A EUR/USD break above resistance (red) invalidates the current wave structure, whereas a break below support (green) could see price continue with its downtrend.

1 hour

The EUR/USD is probably in a wave 4 bear flag formation (bottom is geen line) and could head lower at the wave 4 Fibonacci levels. A break above the 50% Fibonacci retracement level and the resistance trend line (red) would invalidate the wave structure. A break below the trend line (green) could confirm the start of wave 5 (blue).

GBP/USD

4 hour

The GBP/USD will be heavily impacted by the FOMC rate decision and statement later today. The GBP/USD price action is attempting to break the support (green) trend line of the contracting triangle chart pattern, which increases the chance of a wave 3 (orange/green) starting (unless price breaks back above resistance).

1 hour

The GBP/USD could be building a wave 3 (green) if price manages to break below the support (green) rend line. One of the alternatives is that price makes an ABC rally back to resistance (red).

USD/JPY

4 hour

The USD/JPY will be heavily impacted by the FOMC rate decision and statement later today. A break above or below the consolidation zone could indicate the intermediate direction of this currency pair.

1 hour

The USD/JPY is moving lower after hitting the top of the sideways zone (dark red lines). Price could unfold in an ABC bearish zigzag formation (blue).
