Get our trading strategies with our monthly and weekly predictions of currency pairs to watch using support and resistance for the week of May 30, 2022.
This week I’ll start with my monthly and weekly predictions of the currency pairs to watch. The first part of my forecast is based on my research of the last 20 years on Forex prices, which shows that the following methodologies have all produced profitable results:
Let’s take a look at the relevant data on currency price movements and interest rates to date, which we have compiled using a trade-weighted index of major world currencies:
Monthly forecast May 2022
For the month of May, I predicted the US Dollar Index (USDX) to rise in value. So far, it has fallen 0.79% this month to date.
Weekly Forecast 29e May 2022
Last week, I predicted that the USD/CHF currency pair would rise in value. Unfortunately, it fell last week by 1.79%.
I am not making any predictions this week as there were no abnormally strong countertrend price movements in the Forex market last week.
The Forex market has seen its level of direction volatility fall back last week, with 33% of all major currency pairs or crosses moving more than 1% in value. Directional volatility is expected to decrease or stay the same over the coming week.
Last week was dominated by the relative strength of the New Zealand dollar and the relative weakness of the US dollar.

Let’s see how trading reversals from one of last week’s key levels could have worked:
USD/CAD
I was expecting the level at $1.2869 could work as a resistoras it had previously functioned as both support and resistance. Notice how such “reversal levels can be very reliable reversal points. The H1 graph below shows how the price rejected this level with a decline pin bar at the start of the New York session last Wednesday, which is generally a good time to trade Forex. The entry point is marked with an up arrow in the price chart below. This trade has been profitable so farreaching a maximum positive risk-reward ratio of more than 4 to 1 depending on the size of the entry candlestick.
