Forex4you Technical Analysis 30/11/10

EUR/USD: Technical Analysis

Yesterday the EUR/USD decisively broke down through a major trend-line from the June lows. This marks a significant change in trend and the decline will probably continue lower, perhaps till it reaches a support and resistance line at 1.2940 initially and then probably further. The move down off the November 5 highs looks like a zigzag and if wave C is the same length as A - which it is likely to be at the least - then… Continue

Perspectives for Investors in Times of Crisis

Due to the actual volatile nature of the Forex market, some investors are in a cautious position and evaluate the possibility of withdrawing all their investments, hoping to enter again when the market would improve. In this context, diversification becomes paramount since it allows to realize small investments, although with a short term target and with little profitability. Nevertheless, in times of instability, this turns out to be favorable anyhow, since a secure investment… Continue

EUR/USD: Technical Analysis

The movements in this instrument proved the assumptions of the previous analysis - the price continued to decline and the "bears" almost reached the target level 1.3160, mentioned earlier and received support at 1.3180. Having pulled back upwards, the trading is carried on at level 1.3240/50. Indicators don't suggest the "bearish" trend to be dominating, though the assumptions of levels 1.3160 and 1.3110\00 tests are… Continue

Forex4you Technical Analysis 26/11/10

EUR/USD: Technical Analysis

EUR/USD has pushed down through an important trend-line drawn from the June lows. If the break is confirmed by a further decisive move then the exchange rate might fall to the 200 day MA at 1.3135 initially and then perhaps to 1.2930 eventually. There has also been a break below the cloud on the Ichimoku chart this morning and if the descent since the 5th November highs is a zigzag then the downside target for the C… Continue

EUR/USD: Technical Analysis

The exchange rate has bottomed and consolidated into a triangle pattern with downside potential. A break lower, out of the pattern, would target support at 1.3250 initially and then perhaps even the 1.30s. There is also a chance the triangle could break higher, wrong footing market participants who were short, with an upside target of 1.3435.…

Forex4you Technical Analysis 24/11/10

EUR/USD: Technical Analysis

The bears proved to be dominating, so the price declined not only to target level 1.3380/90, it went even lower, to 1.3280/90. We currently observe a slight pullback upwards and the trading is carried on at 1.3350/60. Nevertheless, the indicators don't seem to change their direction and reverse upwards, so the bearish trend will most likely continue. The current pullback upwards, by the way, may be considered as the… Continue

Oil, forecasts and the Forex Market

What can be said about forecasts? Use actual and future market trends with available data and facts to forecast. Analysts trust technical and fundamental statistics to predict the direction of the economy, the stock market and individual stocks.

Why should you worry about oil prices if you are not buying or selling oil? If you trade currencies, there is a good reason to take this price into account. The…

Gold and the Forex Market

Gold Trading has its origins in the past, when this metal was a symbol of wealth and social status, as it was primarily used as a reference to establish the currency exchange rates. “Gold pattern” is a monetary system where the value of the currency is defined by a specific weight in gold. Under this standard paper money is guaranteed up to that amount of gold by those who print the currencies. It was used in the past to trade commodities and exchange with other currencies. Those… Continue

Forex Forexcast : Daily Technical Analysis - 23 November 2010

EUR/USD: Technical Analysis

The market chose a downward scenario, like it had been previously assumed. Resistance range 1.3720/70 hadn't been breached, so the price pulled back downwards and fell below support 1.3640/50, mentioned earlier. The trading tested level 1.3520/30, but then went up and is currently carried on at level 1.3590/1.3600. Indicators are unsure which direction to show, though they seem to be more inclined to a downtrend,… Continue

Forex4you Technical Analysis 22/11/10

EUR/USD: Technical Analysis

The exchange rate moves higher as this Elliot wave 4 correction of the fall from November 5th continues unfolding. It rose up to the 1.3785s in the overnight session but since then has rolled over. It is possibly completing a zig-zag down now in which wave C may be equal to A - if not longer. If we count A as coming down from this morning’s highs to bottom at 1.3725, then C should end around 1.3687, which is exactly… Continue

Forex4you Technical Analysis 19/11/10

EUR/USD: Technical Analysis

Resistance 1.3640/50 had been a strong berrier for the "bulls" for a long time, yet it was breached and the trading is carried on around levels 1.3680/90. Indicators say in favor of the "bullish" trend, which suggests further growth. It's worth noting though, that there are several strong barriers on the way up - resistance range 1.3720/70 and level 1.3840. And even resistance 1.3840/50 breakout shouldn't be considered… Continue

Trader’s Psychology: Attributes for Success

Successful trading depends, in my opinion, 80% on psychology and 20% on methodology. This is why self-knowledge and studying one’s own behavioral patterns represent the key to success.We all well know that the Forex market is highly volatile and that generally decisions have to be made in very short spans of time. Uncertainty dwells above all things, and though nowadays we can count on many tools and techniques, nobody knows for sure what will happen to the market prices. In… Continue

Forex4you Technical Analysis 18/11/10

EUR/USD: Technical Analysis

Fears that the trading could pull back upwards turned out to be correct - the price bagan to grow and raised to resistance 1.3640/50, passing yesterday mentioned barriers 1.3570/80. Indicators changed their readings to "bullish", but R% raised to overbought zone, which can indicate the end of the growth and SS being oversold gives reason to asume that current growth is just a correction after the recent decline.… Continue

What are Divergences and how to use them to increase Forex profits

Divergences occur when the price of a currency pair and an oscillator-type indicator move in opposing directions. In technical analysis, you can make decisions by identifying situations where the divergence (for example the price of a currency pair moves in a contrarian direction from another indicator as for example the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence – MACD).

There will be a divergence… Continue
