Here is the forecast for the US Prelim GDP q/q :
8:30am (NY Time) US Prelim GDP q/q
Forecast 2.4% Previous 2.5%
ACTION: USDJPY BUY 2.7% / USDJPY SELL 2.1%
The Trade Plan
We are looking for a deviation between 0.3% from the forecasted figure of 2.4%. Therefore if we get a 2.7% on the third quarter GDP, it would be US Dollar positive. We will BUY USD/JPY. However, if we get a 2.1% release or worse, then we would be BUYING EURUSD. We’ll be looking to trade this release based on my Retracement Trading Method; since this is a high impact release, strong market volatility is expected immediately after the release.

US Existing Home Sales is expected to rise slightly from the previous month as current foreclosure rate is still remaining resiliently high. Here’s the forecast:
10:00am Existing Home Sales Forecast 4.82M Previous 4.91M
ACTION: USDJPY BUY 5.20M / USDJPY SELL 4.40M
The Trade Plan
Because the Housing sector is one of the most focused news events out of the US, this release will certainly cause some volatility in the market, especially if our tradable figures (+/- 400K) were hit. With the focus of the nation, and of the world, on the status of U.S. housing sector, this release may bring about a strong sentiment of risk appetite/aversion if our BUY/SELL trigger is hit…

US New Home Sales usually follows the trend of Existing Home Sales, therefore we´re likely to see a slightly weaker release today.
Here is the forecast:
10:00am NY Time New Home Sales Forecast 300 Previous 295K
ACTION: 370K BUY USDJPY / 230 BUY EURUSD
The Trade Plan
We´ll trade this release using a deviation of 70K; if the release is lower, it would strengthen USD aversion sentiment and we should look to BUY EURUSD. A stronger number could provide temporary support for the pair and we may see a slight rally in USD/JPY or even SELL EURUSD as an alternative.
