This week, we make no weekly forecast, as there were no strong counter-trend movements in the Forex market whatsoever last week.

The Forex market showed a relatively high level of volatility last week, with 48% of the important currency pairs and crosses moving by more than 1% in value. Volatility is likely to remain at a similar level over the coming week.

Last week was dominated by relative strength in the U.S. dollar, and relative weakness in the Swiss franc and Japanese yen.
