Hello traders, Vladimir here from Home Trader Club with your weekly Forex forecast. A big thanks, as always, to Eight Cap broker for supporting our community. This week marks one of the most highly anticipated trading events of the year. On September 17, 2025, the Federal Reserve is set to announce its policy decision—potentially starting rate cuts or hinting at more to come later this year or early next year.
The markets are on edge:
If the Fed confirms the expected easing, the US Dollar could weaken further.
If the Fed disappoints or signals a slower pace, the Dollar may strengthen sharply.
Let’s break down the technical outlook for the EUR/USD, USD/JPY, and Gold (XAU/USD) and review the key trading scenarios for the week ahead.

Last week, the Euro broke above the falling trendline/ABCD structure, but price action since then has been flat as the market awaits the Fed’s decision.
The breakout momentum holds.
Price rallies towards 1.1900–1.2000, potentially extending to 1.2200–1.2300.
A new bearish divergence may form in that zone, signaling future selling opportunities.
If the Fed disappoints and the Euro weakens, a break below recent lows could trigger a zigzag structure.
In this case, EUR/USD could retrace towards the 1.1400 supply zone, and possibly further to 1.1100.
📊 Market Strength Snapshot (Home Trader Club): EUR/USD remains fully bullish across monthly, weekly, and daily outlooks—supporting the upside bias, but caution is warranted around Fed news.
USD/JPY continues to consolidate, setting the stage for the next big move. The pair is still under bearish pressure, but two scenarios remain in play.
Break below the support zone and rising trendline.
“Sell the rallies” setups align with indicators and price action.
Downside target: below 140.00, completing the ABCD corrective wave.
If price rallies first, it may retest the 151.00–154.00 supply zone.
From this zone, a weekly bearish divergence may form, providing a stronger sell opportunity.
📊 Market Strength Snapshot: Sellers dominate USD/JPY, keeping the bias bearish unless a strong upside surprise develops.
Gold remains in a powerful bullish trend, but extreme overbought conditions suggest the rally is nearing exhaustion.
Look for false breakout (new highs rejected quickly).
If confirmed, a correction could send Gold towards 3575–3510 zone.
Two waves down, two waves up, followed by a downside breakout.
This correction could extend and I believe it opens up the possibility towards the zone 3575 – 3505 shown in the image below before buyers re-enter.
📊 With the monthly chart overbought and a weekly divergence developing, the risk of a deeper correction in Gold is growing, though timing remains uncertain.
This week’s Fed decision is the catalyst that will set the tone for EUR/USD, USD/JPY, and Gold:
EUR/USD: Bullish bias toward 1.20+, but Fed disappointment could flip sentiment lower.
USD/JPY: Bearish setups dominate, but a retest of 151–154 supply zone could be an even better short.
Gold: Trend strong, but extreme conditions suggest preparing for reversal opportunities.
👉 As always, the market doesn’t care what we want. Our job is to react to price action and execute prepared trading plans.
Every forecast above is paired with two scenarios. Why? Because great trading is not about being right — it’s about being ready. Let the market confirm the bias. Use your system, manage risk, and execute only when the structure and confirmation align.
