Technical Analysis

Forex Weekly Forecast: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, GBP/JPY & Gold – August 10–14, 2026

The new trading week brings several important technical setups across the Forex and commodities markets.

EUR/USD is approaching a major resistance and supply zone around 1.1600–1.1700, while GBP/USD is testing the psychological 1.3500 area and could potentially extend higher before sellers step in.

GBP/JPY is showing an important change in structure after a prolonged bullish trend, raising the possibility of another move below 210.00.

Meanwhile, Gold has regained bullish momentum following the breakout of its recent range, but price is now approaching major supply zones around 4,370 and 4,440–4,500.

In this weekly Forex forecast, we will analyze the technical outlook for:

  • EUR/USD
  • GBP/USD
  • GBP/JPY
  • Gold (XAU/USD)

As always, the focus is not on predicting every single move. Instead, we are looking for high-probability areas where price structure, momentum, divergence, supply and resistance can come together to create potential trading opportunities.

Let’s go straight into the charts.


EUR/USD Weekly Forecast – Bearish Pressure Near 1.1650–1.1700

EUR/USD remains one of the most interesting pairs to watch this week.

While the longer-term direction remains controversial, the shorter-term chart is approaching a very important technical area where sellers could potentially become active.

The main zone I am watching is approximately:

1.1600–1.1680/1.1700

This area represents a significant supply and resistance zone.

 

 

EUR/USD Technical Outlook

On the H4 chart, price is attempting to complete a multi-wave structure.

At the same time, we can see an important momentum warning developing.

Price has been making higher highs, while the MACD is beginning to form lower highs.

This creates a potential bearish divergence.

 

 

Bearish divergence does not automatically mean that price must reverse immediately. However, when it develops near a strong resistance or supply area, it can become a very important warning that buyers are beginning to lose momentum.

This is exactly what makes the current EUR/USD structure interesting.

The ideal scenario would be for price to continue moving into the resistance zone, complete the current wave structure, and then begin showing confirmation of bearish momentum.

What I Am Watching

The confirmation would ideally include:

  • Price reaching the 1.1600–1.1700 supply area
  • Completion of the current wave structure
  • Bearish MACD divergence
  • Formation of lower highs
  • Formation of lower lows
  • Momentum turning downward on the H4 chart

If these conditions develop, the probability of another downside move increases significantly.

EUR/USD Bearish Scenario

If EUR/USD reacts from this resistance zone and begins forming a clear bearish structure, I will be looking for selling opportunities on rallies.

The first major downside area to watch is around:

1.1500

If the previous high is retested or broken and price subsequently fails to hold the resistance zone, the downside move could potentially extend even further.

 

 

EUR/USD Trading Bias

Short-term bias: Bearish from the 1.1600–1.1700 supply zone, provided bearish confirmation develops.

The key message is simple:

I would rather sell the rallies than chase EUR/USD higher while price is approaching this major resistance area.


GBP/USD Weekly Forecast – Can GBP/USD Break 1.3500?

GBP/USD is another pair approaching a very important technical area.

The long-term outlook remains bullish, and I have no major doubts that the Pound can continue to target higher levels over the longer term.

However, the short-term structure is much more interesting.

GBP/USD is still moving inside a relatively broad range, while several important supply zones are positioned above current price.

 

 

The first major psychological level is:

1.3500

Above that, we have additional areas around:

1.3550
1.3600
1.3650

 

 

These levels could become important if the current bullish momentum continues.

GBP/USD Technical Outlook

The pair recently attempted to break out of its range and is currently trading above the balanced area identified through the volume profile.

 

 

As long as price continues to hold above this area, there is a good probability that GBP/USD could push higher and complete another leg to the upside.

This means we should not immediately assume that the Pound must fall.

In fact, the beginning of the week could bring another bullish move.

The key question is what happens after price reaches the higher resistance levels.

Daily and H4 Divergence

The bigger opportunity could develop if GBP/USD reaches the 1.3500–1.3650 region and begins creating bearish divergence on the higher timeframes.

I am particularly interested in the possibility of:

  • Higher highs on price
  • Lower highs on MACD
  • Completion of the current wave structure
  • Rejection from major supply
  • H4 bearish divergence
  • Daily bearish divergence

 

 

If these conditions align, sellers could enter the market aggressively.

 

 

GBP/USD Bearish Scenario

If GBP/USD completes the final bullish leg into the resistance zone and begins showing bearish confirmation

The pair could potentially fall back toward the volume profile balanced area.

One of the important downside areas to watch is around:

1.3400

 

 

This area could act as a magnet if the breakout loses momentum and price returns inside the previous balanced structure.

Fundamental Background

The recent U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls report disappointed expectations and suggested some weakening in the U.S. labor market.

This has influenced expectations surrounding Federal Reserve policy and contributed to recent anti-Dollar moves.

That fundamental backdrop could help GBP/USD push higher at the beginning of the week.

However, fundamentals may provide the initial direction while technical levels determine where the next major reaction develops.

GBP/USD Trading Bias

Short-term bias: Bullish while above the balanced area, but watch 1.3500–1.3650 closely for potential bearish reversal confirmation.

The strategy I am watching is therefore:

Allow the rally to develop first, then look for evidence that sellers are returning.


GBP/JPY Weekly Forecast – Is GBP/JPY Going Below 210 Again?

GBP/JPY is showing one of the most interesting structural changes among the markets discussed this week.

After a very long bullish trend, the pair has now printed lower lows for the first time, which is something we should not ignore.

 

 

This potentially signals that the market structure is changing.

The question now is whether GBP/JPY can retest its previous highs, create another corrective structure, and then continue lower.

GBP/JPY Technical Outlook

The major area I am watching is the previous high and the broader supply zone surrounding it.

 

 

This zone became extremely important because of the price action that developed previously.

During the large bearish candle, we saw a massive sell-off.

Sellers clearly took control.

Buyers then attempted to recover the market, pushing price back toward the zone.

But sellers returned again and regained control.

This tells us something important:

There is significant seller interest inside this entire area.

 

 

Therefore, I consider this region a major supply zone.

What Could Happen Next?

GBP/JPY could potentially move back and forth around this area and complete another corrective or ABCD-type structure.

 

 

If that happens, I will be looking for bearish confirmation on the lower timeframes.

The ideal setup would include:

  • Price returning to the major supply zone
  • Completion of an ABCD or corrective structure
  • Bearish divergence on H4
  • Lower highs
  • Loss of bullish momentum
  • Bearish price-action confirmation

 

 

Once these signals align, the next selling opportunity could develop.

GBP/JPY Bearish Scenario

The technical structure gives us a strong reason to consider another move lower.

The longer-term bullish trend has already experienced a structural warning through the creation of lower lows.

If the supply zone continues to hold, GBP/JPY could potentially target:

210.00 and below

This is an important psychological level and one that traders should continue monitoring closely.

GBP/JPY Trading Bias

Short-term bias: Sell the rallies from major supply, provided bearish confirmation appears.

I believe GBP/JPY has both technical and fundamental reasons to potentially move below 210 again.

But, as always, I want the market to confirm the setup rather than simply selling because the level looks attractive.


Gold Weekly Forecast – Can Gold Move Above 4,400?

Now let’s move to Gold.

Gold has finally broken out of the range we have been monitoring and has regained bullish momentum.

 

 

At the moment, there are no major contradictory technical signals suggesting that the bullish move is already finished.

However, the market is approaching several very strong supply zones.

That means we need to be careful about chasing the rally.

Gold Technical Outlook

The breakout from the range has restored bullish momentum.

The current price structure suggests that Gold could continue moving higher in the short term.

Based on the daily chart structure, there are several previous highs that could become important targets.

The first major supply area I am watching is around:

4,370

Above that, another extremely important zone is:

4,440–4,500

These are major levels of interest.

 

 

 

Gold Bullish Scenario

As long as Gold continues to respect the current bullish structure, further upside remains possible.

The market could continue creating bullish waves toward the previous daily highs.

The key areas to monitor are:

  • 4,370
  • 4,440
  • 4,500

If price reaches these areas, we should start looking carefully for signs of bearish pressure.

 

 

Gold Bearish Scenario

Although the current momentum remains bullish, the major supply zones could eventually create another bearish reaction.

The ideal bearish setup would be:

  • Gold reaches major supply
  • Price begins losing bullish momentum
  • A bearish structure develops
  • H4 or daily divergence appears
  • Lower highs begin forming
  • Sellers regain control

If this happens, the market could experience a significant corrective move.

But right now, I do not see enough evidence to aggressively sell Gold before bearish confirmation appears.

Gold Trading Bias

Short-term bias: Bullish toward major supply, with 4,370 and 4,440–4,500 as critical zones to monitor for potential bearish pressure.

For now, the bullish waves deserve respect.

The important thing is to avoid assuming that a reversal has started before the chart actually confirms it.


Key Forex & Gold Levels to Watch This Week

Here is a quick summary of the most important levels discussed in this week’s forecast.

Market Key Resistance / Supply Potential Area of Interest
EUR/USD 1.1600–1.1700 Potential sell-the-rally zone
GBP/USD 1.3500–1.3650 Potential reversal zone
GBP/JPY Major previous-high supply Potential sell-the-rally zone
Gold 4,370 Major supply
Gold 4,440–4,500 Major supply / reversal area

These levels should not be treated as automatic buy or sell signals.

Instead, they are areas where traders should start paying closer attention to price action, momentum and confirmation.


Weekly Trading Plan – August 10–14, 2026

The overall theme for this week is very interesting.

Several markets could initially continue moving in the direction of the current momentum before reaching major higher-timeframe resistance or supply.

That means patience will be extremely important.

EUR/USD

Sell the rallies if bearish divergence and lower-timeframe confirmation develop around 1.1600–1.1700.

Potential downside focus:

1.1500 and potentially lower.

GBP/USD

Allow the short-term bullish move to develop while price remains above the balanced area.

Watch:

1.3500 → 1.3550 → 1.3600 → 1.3650

If bearish divergence and structure develop, look for selling opportunities toward the 1.3400 region.

GBP/JPY

Watch the major supply zone around the previous high.

If price completes its corrective structure and bearish divergence develops, look for opportunities to sell the rallies.

Potential downside focus:

210.00 and below.

Gold

The bullish momentum remains intact following the range breakout.

Watch:

4,370 → 4,440–4,500

At these levels, look for signs of bearish pressure before considering a reversal setup.


Pro Trading Tip

Every forecast should have more than one scenario.

Why?

Because great trading is not about being right every time.

It is about being prepared for what the market actually does.

If price reaches your resistance zone but there is no bearish confirmation, don’t force the sell.

If price reaches support but buyers do not appear, don’t force the buy.

Let the market confirm your idea.

Use the higher timeframe to identify the important zones, use the lower timeframe to find the entry confirmation, and always manage your risk.

The level gives you the location.
The structure gives you the direction.
The confirmation gives you the entry.

That is the approach I will continue to follow this week.
