How to Play the Japan Post-Disaster Currency Moves / Currencies / Forex Trading
Keith Fitz-Gerald writes: According to Biriniyi Associates, investors threw more than $1 billion into Japanese exchange-traded funds (ETFs) last month - second only to U.S. energy funds and more than agriculture, large-caps and mid-cap stocks combined.
They couldn't have placed their bets at a worse time.

NZD/USD Forex Bears Begin to Stir / Currencies / Forex Trading
After a good recovery last year, which still fell short of the major 2008 peak, the chart turned indecisive. One or two clues are appearing that suggest a period of weakness could now be seen.

Major Currency Trends For Potential For Major Gains, Yen and Dollar / Currencies / Forex Trading
Over the past few years Forex traders have really had to step up their game in order to continue making money in the currency market. Back in the day before currency trading was main stream, currencies used to trend in a direction for a long period of time with a low level of volatility. But with so many individuals now involved speculating on price action coupled with international concerns in most countries, the once slow and steady currency market now moves like the stock market with large price swings on a weekly and even daily basis.

Swiss Franc … CHFUSD / Currencies / Forex Trading
We have been tracking on stockcharts eight currencies now for a few years: AUD, CAD, CHF, EUR, GBP, JPY, USD and the ZAR. The charts we offer are all in relation to the USD, and we track the DXY index for the USD. Some time ago we expanded our long term time cycle analysis to include currencies. We have posted about this 34 year secular cycle in the past, and some of its components.

More EUR/CHF Recovery Needed to Cast Bear Doubts / Currencies / Forex Trading
The chart of the EUR/CHF cross remains weak, with previous recovery attempts only proving short-lived affairs. At present the current bounce is relatively unexciting, but we are looking at certain overhead levels that, if breached, could signal better bull interest.

U.S. Dollar, AUD, CAD, Euro Forecast Update / Currencies / Forex Trading
Right now, markets are extremely choppy, with the correction in gold stocks, particularly the HUI correcting back to the 490-500 area. From a quick glance of charts, the S&P 500 index and XOI remain in definitive uptrends, while the HUI has pulled back. There is really no change in the technical picture at present...the bubble the FED blew is still growing and will continue to expand until the surface tension of the bubble exceeds the capacity to remain intact and then it will burst. Energy prices are still set to rise, which in turn will raise the cost of every item transported and drive up precious metals. We are in the last two years of the current government term in the US and historically, they have been favourable to the stock markets. Beyond the last half of 2012 and into 2014, things are going to get really ugly. Another deflationary scare will likely occur during this period which will bring down most commodities and markets. After 2014, interest rates are likely to soar as bond holders are going to demand a higher rate of return when it becomes obvious that inflation is well above the stated levels.

Surge in Euro, Weakness in Gold and patterned drop in Aussie Dollar / Currencies / Forex Trading
The Surge in Euro: Last week was not green backs and regardless of it weakening “materially” it was against Euro where it performed the worst! Many would perhaps think that our reiterated call of Euro bear might have been wrong as on Jan 5th in our article [Euro took a beating yesterday and a bad one! Whereas Greenback doesn’t seem as strong as how the street is portraying it to be] we seemed to be leaning towards the fact that Euro would push higher and Green back would weaken.

How to Conquer The Market / Currencies / Forex Trading
You only have to watch my earlier videos to see that it has performed very well this week in gold as well as the crude. In today's short video I want to share an ETF that is setting up nicely and should be giving us a buy signal using the same strategy that we used in the earlier gold and crude oil videos.

Aussie Dollar and Euro Under Pressure / ConsumerWatch / Forex Trading
Rains might have only fallen in Australia but Aussie Dollar and Euro both are feeling the pressure: rains might have stopped but to put a finger on to the extent of damage these rains have done is far from within sight. Brisbane got few inches of rain even now and few areas were given evacuation warnings nevertheless, as a whole the worst seems to have past now. The Aussie Dollar which only on the last day of 2010 posted the highest high ever recorded has been hit as badly as the floods have hit Queensland. We wrote in our Jan 4th newsletter that

Aussie Dollar, the Japanese Yen, Euro and Cable all have a different story to tell / Currencies / Forex Trading
First up we look at USD/JPY: The economic data out from Japan was encouraging today as Industrial production as well as retail sales both exceeded the streets guesstimates. This further put a bid on Japanese Yen and prices tumbled to just below 82. This is the region where Bank of Japan first started to tout that it would intervene in the market and as we have said before now that BoJ has made its mark on the market by actually intervening therefore it is high time that it should continue to weaken Yen. We went buyers of the pair at 82 flat and we intend on holding the position.Read full article... Read full article...

Euro, British Pound Down as US Economy Improves / Currencies / Forex Trading
According to a recent survey by CNN Money, top economists are projecting a 3.1 per cent gross domestic product (GDP) for the United States economy during the final quarter of 2010, after a 2.6 per cent third quarter increase.
The fourth quarter project is an upward revision from previous forecasts and the report also indicates expectations are high for a steady growth throughout 2011.

U.S. Dollar Bounce Continues, Days of the [benefactors] are numbered now / Currencies / Forex Trading
The U.S Dollar Index is bouncing back from low 78s and at the moment there seems no hurdle then in its path to stop it from breaking over 79.6 which shall give rise to a move upwards to 81s. Unlike a few weeks back when even a finger snap would send the U.S Dollar and the Index hurling down now things are very different and it seems for now that this [new] development of pro U.S Dollar is going to stay for a while longer! When a crisis like situation erupts then [Safe Haven] is U.S Dollar and Yen however, today we are observing Gold to be in the same league but we’d get to Gold in a little while.

EURGBP and Gold vs Aussie Dollar Signals / Currencies / Forex Trading
The escalating negative dynamics surrounding the euro must be assessed carefully when drawing conclusions over EURUSD. A decline below $1.3550 remains unlikely for now. Rather, I continue to favour shorts in EURCAD, EURCHF (see details below), with particular focus on EURGBP in this piece.
There are clear fundamental and technical arguments for why EURGBP will continue its decline. Last week, the pair posted its weekly drop in since January.

How to Analyse and Trade Currencies with Elliot Waves / Currencies / Forex Trading
On November 1, the EUR/USD -- the euro-dollar exchange rate and the most actively-traded forex pair -- was trading the $1.38 range, near the level it is today.
But if you look at what the EUR/USD did between November 1 and 9, you'll see a huge 400-point (or pip, in forex lingo) rally into the November 4 top -- and an equally huge decline back to the levels we see today.

The Aussie Dollar Gets the High-low Treatment / Currencies / Forex Trading
--Ouch both times. Aussie stocks got hit by the old “high-low” overnight. The “high-low” is a gridiron technique where one man tackles you high and the other tackles you low. The net result is that you get smashed. Granted, a four percent decline in the Aussie dollar versus the greenback doesn’t quite constitute a smashing. How bad, then, is the double-helping of unsettling news?
