event (06.30 CET - 03 Apr) RBA Interest Rate decision expected unchanged at 1.50%, and
also we have the RBA statement, it is here that investors shall seek for clues
on future RBA policies, economic growth and inflation expectations, and having
the AUD weaker for whole two months against the USD, on positive results we may
see the AUDUSD pair rising towards 0.7750.

GBP important event (10.30 CET - 03 Apr) Manufacturing PMI expected to print out lower result at 54.8 vs previous 55.2, but it will not be surprise if the numbers come out better than expected as the overall UK economy in the last few months show positive pace. The result is important and we have a look on the GBPUSD as it comes out before NFP's and it may a lot affect the position of the GBP against the USD in this Bullish Flag formation which I detected on 12th of March and for now it holds and the GBP may still have the thrust to follow the Bullish Flag pattern and go towards 1.4250 and 1.4500, GBPUSD at the moment pivots around the support levels 1.4030/1.4000. Prepared we enter the new month and follow the strategy. https://www.tradingview.com/chart/GBPUSD/Zqa9dllV-GBPUSD-bullish-flag/

USD important event (14.30 CET - 06 Apr) NFP's expected at 190K vs previously 313K, most of the time analysts say if the numbers match the forecast the USD will rise against the EUR, but experience in the last months suggests that initially the USD will rise, but after it falls severely. Enter with a lot of caution in possible trades and first digest the news later decide on your moves regarding opening or closing positions. Later in the day at 19.30 CET Fed Chair Powell Speaks, this is high importance event not just for the USD, but also for wide range of other financial instruments, which with the movements and volatility will affect each other in the short term.
