Supply Demand Charts and Analysis
Below readers can graphically identify supply and demand areas registered in our daily supply/demand table above. A brief comment on the outlook has been also added.
1 - USD INDEX
The USD continues to absorb offers through 83.50-84.50, while being well protected on the upside. Next direction the index takes will be NFP data dependent.

2 - EURO
The bearish trend is as strong as ever, and with no clear demand in sight near by, sellers continue to have the upper hand. NFP number will dictate next direction, but even if an upside spike is seen, bears are decently protected by supplies formed on the way lower.
3 - BRITISH POUND
The pair looks poised to be headed towards cheaper quotes after yesterday's bullish engulfing bar on the daily failed to create an impulsive higher. The latest sell-off in the Pound has produced a new interest supply level on the hourly chart.
4 - JAPANESE YEN
Bids ahead of demand at 99.10-98-85 ward off buyers interest, resulting on higher highs and higher lows intraday as price consolidates right around 100.00. Further upside, amid absence of noticeable supply, remains the main risk.
5 - AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR
The pair has caught a nice bid tone, building a series of higher highs ans higher lows in the process. Also note a new demand intraday was produced, suggesting that dip-buying strategies may start to be more present in this market.
Good luck everyone!
Note to all readers
1 - Note every timeframe has an area of supply and demand, however, in order to keep levels reliable and active for most of the trading day, we have decided to only take levels from the 30m/H1 charts and above. Bear in mind, the higher the timeframe, the higher its reliability, thus also the reason why anything above 30m/H1 offers good value for the reader. Besides, the smart money aka large institutions tend to use these larger timeframes to enter sizeable positions.
2 - Once price reaches a demand/supply area, an imbalance between buyers and sellers occur, and one side takes temporary control with price reacting, initially, in favor of the dominant side. If the zone in the table states "fresh" that implies price is likely to respect the area and move away from it quite fast. If the zone, on the contrary, has been tested in the past and absorbed partially, chances are that subsequent tests will probably show weaker pullbacks as the imbalance between buyers/sellers (bids/offers) is reduced.
3 - If previous fresh supply/demand is not penetrated in its entirety, meaning unless the table states "100% absorbed", the levels is still valid. Only when the "100% absortion" occurs, you will expect price to seek the next area of supply/demand.
4 - RBD (supply) or DBR (demand) are the ideal combinations to look for as it implies one is buying cheap/selling expensive at wholesale price at the extreme of the curve. It is not suggested to risk entries in the middle of choppy markets.
5 - Trade with the trend for higher probability. We are helping you by giving the uderlying bias of the market, which should be taken in due consideration. While supply/demand levels are likely to work in both directions, with and against the trend, one increases its odds by sticking to the dominant trend. What one should avoid by all means is entries against dominant trends in the middle of choppy markets.
6 - The column "data to watch" provides traders with a more accurate timing as to when these supply/demand zone may come into play, barring other unexpected catalysts.
7 - All supply/demand areas from 30m time-frame up are taken into account, pre-analyzing other critical components such as strong take off from origin, little time spent at the level, fresh area, trade bias. However, readers should still treat the information at their own discretion, previously validating whether or not enough profit margin exists to achieve desired risk reward, always noting where next supply/demand areas are.
8 - The analysis intends to dissect for the reader at FXstreet.com where large banking institutions have been recently buying and/or selling a particular pair and what is the likelihood of these activity continuing to show up at that particular level. Note no conventional technical analysis derived from the prices was conducted.
9 - No entry/stops/profit target levels are given, as the intention of this report is to purely suggest where large institutions aka the smart money - insiders and better informed speculators - are most likely to be actively selling or buying.
