September, though the USD&#8217;s overall climb last month was supported by risk aversion about the distressed Chinese property developer Evergrande\u2019s default and the US Debt Ceiling deadlock. The chart above shows an expanding triangle with 5 internal waves that have now completed, with the DXY stalling at $94.50 which is a major resistance level.<\/p><p>The rollercoaster ride for US dollar traders has also been on the back of remarks around the monetary policy from the Fed, with the markets initially waiting on the September FOMC meeting before the DXY rose 0.3% when the FOMC projection for the first-rate hike moved forward from 2023 to 2022.<\/p><p>The August US nonfarm payroll report came in at 235k, below expectations of 735k, and briefly dragged down the USD, but the Federal Reserve was less concerned about the miss, even though their mandate includes maximising employment. Since all of that happened several Fed officials reiterated Powell&#8217;s message later that a taper could come in November. So now we&#8217;re back waiting to see if the non-farm payroll and ADP numbers this week will give the Fed confidence to press ahead with a move towards normalising monetary policy.<\/p><p>The chart pattern suggests that the US dollar comes back down towards $92 again, but the trend and monetary policy expectations suggest we see a higher US dollar.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2e4cd22 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2e4cd22\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8f52d85\" data-id=\"8f52d85\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ce1e56d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ce1e56d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2Lg9zs6\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"547\" src=\"https:\/\/youtrading.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/EURGBP-1.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-16166\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-20c3c3ad elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"20c3c3ad\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-67e39293\" data-id=\"67e39293\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54e758d3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"54e758d3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2Lg9zs6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See real-time quotes<\/a> provided by our partner.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-dcdda55 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"dcdda55\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ca5143c\" data-id=\"ca5143c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-50f4408 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"50f4408\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>The pound had suffered at the hands of the strengthening greenback and then several macroeconomic issues affecting the UK, including a delivery driver shortage.

If we could get a new swing high and follow up with a higher swing low, this would then give me confidence to start looking for trades to the upside long term.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forex Analysis GBPUSD See real-time quotes provided by our partner.
