Right before the start of another trading week of June 2020, NordFX experts came up with another set of market predictions for the forex and cryptocurrency markets. Their predictions are based on the consensus forecast compiled from various market forecasts made by various market experts as well as the result of technical analysis. The period is June 15th - 20th. So, this is what those predictions look like:
- EUR/USD. At this point, it's hard to say whether the demand for risky assets is going to recover in the near future. The balance of market powers will definitely be guided by the progress in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, the trade conflict between the USA and China, as well as the price war going on in the crude oil market.
According to 60% of the experts participating in survey, the currency pair is unlikely to plunge below 1.1200 in the near future. The current levels of resistance are 1.1425 and 1.1500.
The remaining 40% count on the currency pair moving back into the 1.0955-1.1000 range. The forecast is backed by the chart analysis on H4. The closest major level of support is 1.1100. Most of D1 trending indicators and oscillators are pained green since the bulls are currently dominating the EUR/USD market on this timeframe. As for H4, the picture is the opposite. However, only 15% of the oscillators are indicating an oversold market.
