Will the FOMC Surprise the Markets?
Information is not investment advice
The Backstory
The first FOMC meeting comes after a buildup of anticipation from traders and investors alike, as the markets await what posture the Fed will take regarding the interest rates; would there be a hike or a cut in interest rates? Recall that the Federal Open Market Committee had previously ended the year 2022 with a 50bps hike, and an indication from Powell, the committee chairman, that the Fed could consider raising interest rates by 75bps in the course of the year 2023.
How does this affect the Forex market?
The interest rates provide insights into the strength of the US Dollar, which helps traders and investors manage their expectations from the currency. Increased rates often lead to increased strength for the Dollar.
What do the charts have to say?
In light of the fundamental breakdown above, we will draw our conclusions from the outlook of price on the charts using price action.
US Dollar - Daily Timeframe
The US Dollar on the Daily timeframe has made an initial reaction off the Daily Pivot as predicted in my previous articles. The reaction seems to have even broken above a miniature trendline resistance, giving us further confidence in the possibility of a bullish price action toward the 50-Day Moving Average as the very least target.
Analyst’s Expectations:
Direction: Bullish
Target: 104
Invalidation: 101.7
EURUSD - Daily Timeframe
EURUSD has already begun the reaction from the daily pivot and the trendline resistance. As far as I can see, however, price seems to be heading towards the demand zone as marked since it was the "order block" right before price broke the previous high with a bullish FVG (Fair Value Gap).
Analysts’ Expectation:
Direction: Bearish
Target: 1.06500
Invalidation: 1.09201
GBPUSD- Daily Timeframe
The chart above shows the price action on the daily timeframe of the GBPUSD pair, and similar to what we saw on the EURUSD daily chart, price here is also reacting from an area of resistance. The major clause here, however, is that the reaction is a tad more sluggish than I would have loved to see. The 200-Day moving average could be the next target in view as I expect price to seek out a strong area of support in order to continue its bullish march.
Analyst’s Expectations:
Direction: Bearish
Target: 1.20624
Invalidation: 1.24539
XAUUSD - Daily Timeframe
From the Daily pivot zone, XAUUSD has played out a 300-pip bearish reaction. The point of the reaction aligned perfectly with the trendline resistance of the rising channel, indicating the likelihood that price bounces off the trendline support of the same channel to continue its bullish rally... possibly.
Analyst’s Expectations:
Direction: Bearish
Target: 1887.8
Invalidation: 1945
APPLE - Daily Timeframe
After the bearish break of structure, APPLE stock returned to the rally-base-drop supply zone that prompted the break of structure in the first place. On returning to the supply zone for a retest, price encountered the trendline resistance and was kicked down from that area of confluence. This leads me to expect a brief continuation of that bearish movement to the demand zone I marked below as the primary target.
Analyst’s Expectations:
Direction: Bearish
Target: $137
Invalidation: $148

How Will BoJ Meeting Affect the Yen
Hold onto your hats, folks! The Japanese yen took a nosedive after the Bank of Japan (BOJ) left its ultra-loose policy settings unchanged, including its closely watched yield curve control (YCC) policy. But wait, there's more! The BOJ also removed its forward guidance, which had previously pledged to keep interest rates at current or lower levels. So, what's the scoop? Market expectations had been subdued going into the meeting, but some were still hoping for tweaks to the forward guidance to prepare for an eventual exit from the bank's massive stimulus
