Hey everyone! Welcome to this week's forex forecast for the week ending December 17th, 2021. I'm TraderBart with A1 Trading, and this week I'll be looking at AUDUSD, EURUSD, EURAUD & XAUUSD. This will be the final WFF of 2021 as I'm going abroad to spend time with family. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and I will be back from mid-January to continue this series of articles.

AUD/USD

Price recently broke out of the ascending channel, making a touch of the 0.70 key horizontal level which dates back all the way to September 2018, and is now on its way to potentially making a touch of the ascending channel. Look out for whether we see price re-enter the channel, suggesting further bullish moves towards the channel's top OR if we see price reject the channel's bottom, suggesting further bearish moves towards 0.70 and potentially new recent lows.

EUR/USD

Price is forming a triangle pattern following the break of the descending channel. Watch out for a break of this pattern, if we see a break above, look out for the retest and rejection before potentially going long. If we see price break lower, look out for the retest and rejection before going short. A break above 1.14 opens up price to 1.16; a short-term key level.

EUR/AUD

After breaking out of the ascending triangle pretty early, price has made its full move but is now retesting the pattern's resistance at around 1.57 which is the same as the ascending triangle from May earlier this year. Watch out for a rejection of this level, where following successive price action confirmations would be a potentially good time to go long on this pair.

XAU/USD

Gold continues to consolidate for another week, still failing to break below 1765 suggesting its potentially waiting for a major catalyst to create a new trend in the market. Price will likely be slow during the Christmas and New Years period.
