US Dollar Index

The major trend of the US Dollar Index is still down. On Monday, the index went to a high of 77.06 before settling at 76.78, which is down by 0.20 compared to the previous week. The low of the week is 76.77. Immediate resistance to the Index is 78.96 (13-Week Moving Average Line), followed by 80.00.

Currently the RSI is pointing downward again at 26.28%, indicating that the index is continuing moving downward, resulting in a weakening US Dollar.

General Market Commentary (October 29, 2007) by MG Financial Group:

The Greenback remains under pressure as traders position ahead of this week’s closely anticipated FOMC monetary policy setting meeting. Fed funds futures are fully pricing in a 25-basis point rate cut to 4.50%, thereby dragging the Dollar to fresh record lows against the Euro at 1.4437.

Although the Fed is largely expected to ease by 25-bp, the dollar’s direction will likely be dictated by the accompanying FOMC policy statement and whether further easing can be anticipated. We look for the Fed to maintain a largely neutral stance in its policy statement, with an emphasis on the preemptive nature of the cut “to forestall some of the adverse effects on the broader economy”, as stated last month.

Several key pieces of US economic data are slated for release this week including Q3 GDP, Chicago PMI, September PCE, October manufacturing ISM, September durable goods orders, factory orders and the October labor report. Economic growth in the third quarter is estimated to slip to 3.0%, down from 3.8% previously. Meanwhile, October non-farm payrolls are expected to slip to 80.0k, versus 110.0k from September. The unemployment rate is seen unchanged at 4.7%. Nevertheless, garnering the lion’s share of market attention will be the Fed’s two-day policy setting meeting and accompanying statement scheduled for Wednesday at 2:15 PM.

The Euro rallied to a fresh high against the Dollar at 1.4437 and recovered further versus the Yen toward 165.47. Economic data released from the Eurozone overnight saw Germany’s preliminary CPI and HICP. The October CPI in the Eurozone’s largest economy edged up 0.2% m/m and 2.4% on an annualized basis, versus expectations for an increase of 0.1% m/m and 2.4% y/y. The October preliminary HICP was in line with forecasts, up 0.2% m/m and 2.7% y/y.

EUR/USD

From the weekly chart, the pair is on a major “upward” move, as indicated by the Long MACD and the Moving Average Lines. The week began as a bullish candle and broke to a high of 1.4438, indicating that the major “downward” retracement is not going to happen so soon, even with the Weekly Stochastic being over-bought. Immediate weekly support is at 1.4259, followed by 1.4084, and 1.4035 which is the upper band of the upward channel. Immediate weekly resistance is at 1.4438, which is the pair’s historically high. Weekly Stochastic is seen moving upward again at the 96% level, indicating that though the pair’s upside is limited, it is still attempting to move upward.

From the daily chart, on Monday, the price candle reached a high of 1.4438. Its immediate daily support is at 1.4322 (10-Day Moving Average Line), followed by 1.4280 (Upward Trend-line), 1.4154 and 1.4144 (40-Day Moving Average Line). The Default MACD has turned upward showing an up-trend, while the two pairs of Moving Average Lines are also indicating an up-trend. Daily Stochastic is seen moving upward at the 94% level, indicating a possible continuous upward move over the next few trading days before making another attempt to undergo its major “downward” trend.

From the hourly chart, the pair is seen drifting upward towards 1.4450.

We are still bearish towards the pair, as the pair’s upside is limited. Once the pair shows a strong signal of undergoing its major “downward” retracement, we will look to short the pair. However, if the pair continue to break higher, we may go long for small profits of 30-50 pips.

GBP/USD

From the weekly chart, the pair is on a major “upward” move, as indicated by the Long MACD and the Moving Average Lines. This week the price candle is bullish as the pair continues to move higher, indicating that the pair’s attempt to undergo a downward move is not going to take place so soon. Its immediate weekly resistance is at 2.0652, which is its historical high. Its immediate weekly support is at 2.0600 followed by 2.0398, 2.0351 (13-Week Moving Average Line) and 2.0140. Weekly Stochastic is seen moving upward again at the 93% level, indicating a limited upside.

From the daily chart, Monday’s upward move of more than 100 pips is a one with much momentum. Its immediate daily resistance is at 2.0652 while its immediate daily support is at 2.0546, followed by 2.0504 (10-Day Moving Average Line), 2.0480 and 2.0360. The pair’s short-term moving average lines (10 and 40-Day) are still indicating an uptrend. Daily Stochastic is seen moving upward at the 89% level, indicating that the pair is still attempting to push higher before attempting to undergo its major “downward” retracement. We are still expecting the pair to make another attempt to undergo major downward retracement as its upside is limited.

From the hourly chart, the pair is seen drifting upward towards its historical high of 2.0652.

We are still bearish towards the pair. Once the pair shows sign of undergoing its major “downward” retracement, we will go short on the pair. However, there is still momentum for the pair to move higher to around 2.0652. Hence we may go long for small profits of 30-50 pips.

Sharing Jose’s System

Here’s a simple system that my friend Jose Leon has compiled on pdf. It’s relatively simple and make uses of Price Action, Support and Resistance.

Jose’s PDF

Download it here. (Right-click and ‘Save As’ to your computer. Note, you’ll need Acrobat Reader to read it)

A clip of the pdf.

As you can see first I joined the low points with a trend line, then I drew another trend line n the highest point to form a channel, and finally I drew 2 new lines: from the last high point in the top of the channel to the nearest high point downwards and from the last low point in the button of the channel to the nearest low point upwards. And now you have a triangle and a channel in your chart. Finally I added the support-resistances to get a good indication about the price with these trend lines.

Now you can see that the price or candle could break one of the lines of this triangle. Actually the green candle is trying to break the top of the triangle, it could break or it could reverse, right?. And you can also see that this green candle is passing the resistance (red points)

Humpty’s Corner EUR/JPY 10/28/08

Hello forex fans!

Yes, I know its been awhile, but I have a dominate side for perfection.

For the past couple of weeks, as long as you have been trading against the dollar, you should have done somewhat well. Im here to tell you, this isnt going to end anytime soon.

AUD/USD is heading for parity and I think at this point it is quite feasible to happen. While we will see fluxutions, I believe it is headed for this mile mark.

Metals and materials, along with commodities have been dominating the stock market. Going with pairs against the USD, that are know for heavy exports of these things, will be the pairs to watch very closely.

Another currency that we have been watching closely is the Yen. According to my daily charts, we are on a #3 leg going down. Since the #3 leg usually completely outperforms the #1 leg, I think we will see a significant drop in the Yen pairs very soon.

Good Luck!

US Dollar Index

The major trend of the US Dollar Index is still down. Last Friday, the index went to a high of 77.21 before settling at 76.98, which is down by 0.25 compared to Thursday. The low of the week is 76.94. Immediate resistance to the Index is 79.21 (13-Week Moving Average Line), followed by 80.00.

Currently the RSI is pointing downward again at 26.91%, indicating that the index has lost its upward momentum for its major “upward” retracement, resulting in a weakening US Dollar. Looks like the RSI has no strength to go up to the 43% level.

General Market Commentary (October 26, 2007) by MG Financial Group:

The Dollar extended its loss versus the Euro and Sterling on expectations that the Fed may cut interest rates again next week. The Dollar Index slumped to a fresh all-time low at 77.035. The Euro approached 1.44 versus the Dollar, while the Sterling rose to as high as 2.0571.

This week’s economic data, including housing sales, durable goods orders, weekly jobless claims and today’s consumer sentiment index, all showed signs of economic growth slow down. University of Michigan consumer sentiment index fell from 83.4 to 80.9 in October, below the estimate of 82.

It is widely expected that the Fed will lower rates by a quarter-percentage point to 4.00%. Under the pressure of housing slump and rising credit costs, the nation’s economic growth may slow down in the future. The overall sentiment on the Dollar is bearish.

Eurogroup Chairman Junker said in a newspaper interview published today that last week’s G7 statement limited to the yuan showed they did not reach agreement on the Yen and Dollar foreign exchange range. He added that he preferred a stronger Euro and the currency’s current trading level was not yet an alarm-causing level. The Euro may rise further to reach next target area at 1.4420-50 versus the Dollar.

EUR/USD

From the weekly chart, the pair is on a major “upward” move, as indicated by the Long MACD and the Moving Average Lines.

Its immediate daily support is at 1.4276 (10-Day Moving Average Line), followed by 1.4154 and 1.4116 (40-Day Moving Average Line). The Default MACD is showing a down-trend that is slowly moving upward, while the two pairs of Moving Average Lines are still indicating an up-trend. Daily Stochastic is seen crossing upward at the 79% level, indicating a possible upward move over the next few trading days before making another attempt to undergo its major “downward” trend.

From the hourly chart, the pair is seen making a strong attempt to go higher. Immediate intra-day target is seen as 1.4400.

We are still bearish towards the pair, as the pair’s upside is limited. Once the pair shows a strong signal of undergoing its major “downward” retracement, we will look to short the pair. However, if the pair continue to break higher, we may go long for small profits of 30-50 pips.

ForexGen Scam Alert

Sigh, this reminds me of something that happened to myself too. Felix from Forexbastards has sent an update with regards to ForexGen, here’s a short clip..

Forex Gen Scam Alert

This is Felix. I wanted to share a very disturbing story with you… Though I can’t guarantee that this is the truth, but from my investigation and my understanding it seems a very legitimate story.

One of the subscribers of kingforexsignals.com by the name of Rashid has been trading with Rob Grespi for the last few months, using the broker http://www.forexgen.com/

Rashid grew one of his accounts, #5011164, from $20,000 to over $110,000 over the last few months by taking a few position trades. Few days ago, he decided to cash in his profits from all his accounts with this broker, and made a withdrawal request for the full amount of over $160,000.

I shan’t steal the limelight, for more info, check out Felix’s thread on ForexGen.

1 pips spread? Ridiculous! Avoid them.

General Market Commentary (October 23, 2007) by MG Financial Group:

The Dollar pared its gains against the Euro and Sterling as the bearish sentiment over the Dollar does not change after Monday’s unexpected Dollar strength. The Euro rebounded back to around 1.4250 versus the Dollar, while the Sterling passed through 2.05 against the Dollar.

The market will focus on US housing data this week and the FOMC next week. US existing home sales due tomorrow is seen to fall from an annual rate of 5.5 million units to 5.25 million in September. Also new home sales will be released on Thursday. The housing slump will continue to weigh on the nation’s economy and therefore put pressure on the Fed to cut rates.

Interest rate futures indicate that traders are pricing in a nearly 90 percent chance that the Fed will cut rates by a quarter percentage point to 4.50 percent at its Oct 31 policy meeting.

TNT Daily Forecast – 23rd October

Clarence shares his views on the majors with all TNT and non TNT students,

US Dollar Index

The major trend of the US Dollar Index is still down. On Monday, the index went to a high of 78.17 before settling at 77.96, which is up by 0.59 compared to last Friday. The low of the week is 77.08. Immediate resistance to the Index is 79.29 (13-Week Moving Average Line), followed by 80.00.

Currently the RSI is pointing upward at 33.86%, indicating that the index is gaining its upward momentum to undergo its major “upward” retracement, resulting a strengthening US Dollar. There is still room for the RSI to go up to the 43% level.

General Market Commentary (October 22, 2007) by MG Financial Group:

The Dollar dropped initially against the Yen and the Euro after the G7 statement released late last Friday. The Dollar tumbled to a fresh low at 1.4348 against the Euro.

There was no change in the language regarding the currencies. The G7 just repeated that excess volatility in foreign exchange is undesirable. Apart from urging China to allow its currency appreciate more rapidly, G7 finance ministers and central bankers did not mention any other currencies including the weak Yen and Dollar and the strong Euro.

Besides, the G7 indicated that record oil prices and US housing and credit sector slump will impede economic growth. This prompted investors to cut back risk appetite and reduce carry trades. The Yen rallied sharply against high yielding currencies. The Yen rallied to session low at 113.26 against the Dollar, and strengthened to 230.35 versus the Sterling and 160.48 versus the Euro.

With no key data releasing till Wednesday, the foreign exchange market will continue to focus on carry trades and equity market.

TNT Daily Forecast – 21 October

US Dollar Index

The major trend of the US Dollar Index is still down. Last Friday, the index went to a high of 77.57 before settling at 77.37, which is down by 0.15 compared to the previous day. The low of the week is 77.33. Immediate resistance to the Index is 79.51 (13-Week Moving Average Line), followed by 80.00.

Currently the RSI is pointing downward at 28.44%, indicating that the index has lost its momentum to undergo its major “upward” retracement, hence a weakening US Dollar.

General Market Commentary (October 19, 2007) by MG Financial Group:

The Yen rallied across the board in the Friday session amid a slide in global equities. The Greenback, which initially tumbled against the Euro and Sterling, recovered amid profit taking heading into this weekend’s G7 Finance Ministers meeting. We’re not anticipating the G7 communiqué to single out Dollar weakness, but do expect increased pressure on China to hasten currency flexibility. It will be important to focus closely on post-meeting commentary from Eurozone officials as there will be scope for criticism of recent Euro strength impeding on trade competitiveness.

UK’s Finance Minister Alistair Darling said that while there was a mix of views among the G7 on exchange rates, he reiterated that forex levels should be determined by markets. Meanwhile, Canada‘s Finance Minister Flaherty said he would not be surprised to see stronger language in the communiqué on China’s foreign exchange policy. Further, he expects vigorous discussion on the topic at the meeting. We look for the Yen to remain buoyed heading into the meeting, given the currency’s characteristic to trade as a proxy to China’s Yuan.

The Dollar’s near-term direction will likely remain linked to sentiment over upcoming Fed policy decisions. Earlier in the session, Fed Funds futures were pricing in a 98% chance of a rate cut at the end of the month, up from over 70% yesterday and just over 30% a week earlier. Recent economic data continues to point towards further deterioration in the housing market, but have yet to reveal any spillover effects on the consumer. Next week’s US economic calendar is light but will provide additional gauges on the housing market, with the releases consisting of existing home sales, new home sales, durable goods orders and weekly jobless claims.

Fed Chairman Bernanke said central bank predictability was important in making long-term rates respond to Fed actions. He reiterated that central banks should strive for transparency, predictability and avoid overreactions. However, he provided little insight into the FOMC’s policy deliberations in the coming weeks.

Cable edged out to a fresh multi-month high at 2.0522 on the heels of stronger than expected growth data. The report revealed robust GDP growth for Q3 at 3.3% annualized, versus 3.1% a year earlier and 0.8% q/q. The Bank of England remains in a precarious situation amid tightening credit conditions, lingering inflationary pressure and strong economic growth. We now expect the BoE to remain on hold for the remainder of the year at 5.75%.

EUR/USD

From the weekly chart, the pair is on a major “upward” move, as indicated by the Long MACD and the Moving Average Lines. Last week’s price candle was bullish and it broke the previous high of 1.4300 and reached 1.4318, indicating that the pair has lost its momentum to undergo its major “downward” retracement. Immediate support is 1.4084, with next support at 1.4025 which is the upper band of the upward channel. Immediate weekly resistance is at 1.4318, which is the pair’s historically high. Weekly Stochastic is seen crossing downward at the 83% level, indicating that the pair’s upside is still limited.

From the daily chart, the price candles are still above the 10-Day Moving Average Line. Its immediate daily resistance is at 1.4318, while daily support is at 1.4210 (10-Day Moving Average Line), followed by 1.4154 and 1.4065. The Default MACD is showing a down-trend while the two pairs of Moving Average Lines are still indicating an up-trend. Daily Stochastic is seen moving upward at the 78% level, indicating a possible upward move over the next few trading days. However, sometime this week we are expecting the pair to make another attempt for a major “downward” retracement, as its upside is limited.

From the hourly chart, the pair is currently ranging between 1.4318 and  1.4260.

We are still bearish towards the pair, as the pair’s upside is limited. However, we need to wait for a clear signal to indicate that the pair is undergoing its major downward retracement before going short on the pair.

GBP/USD

From the weekly chart, the pair is on a major “upward” move, as indicated by the Long MACD and the Moving Average Lines. Last week the price candle was bullish, as the pair moved above  2.0500, its recent high in weeks. Its immediate weekly resistance is at 2.0652, which is its historical high. Its immediate weekly support is at 2.0398, followed by 2.0267 (13-Week Moving Average Line) and 2.0140. Weekly Stochastic is seen crossing downward at the 85% level, indicating a limited upside.

From the daily chart, the price candles are still above its 10-Day Moving Average Line. Its immediate daily resistance is at 2.0546, while its immediate daily support is at 2.0401 (10-Day Moving Average Line), followed by 2.0360 and 2.0302 (40-Day Moving Average Line).The pair’s short-term moving average lines (10 and 40-Day) are still indicating an uptrend. Daily Stochastic is seen moving upward at the 76% level, indicating that the pair may continue its upward move for a few more trading days. However, we are still expecting the pair to make another attempt to undergo major downward retracement sometime this week.

From the hourly chart, the pair has broken upward above its previous trading range of 2.0307 (Hourly 23.6% Fibo Level) – 2.480, to a high of 2.0512 (Last Friday’s R1).

We are still bearish towards the pair, waiting to short the pair when it makes another to undergo its major “downward” retracement.  We will only act when the pair shows a clear downward trend.

USD/CHF

From the weekly chart, the pair is on a major “downward” move, as indicated by the Long MACD and the Moving Average Lines. However, last week the pair met a firm resistance at 1.1848 and went south after that, with 1,1642 as its immediate weekly support. Weekly Stochastic is still pointing upward at the 33% level, indicating a possible recovery this coming week.

From the daily chart, the pair is seen on a bearish move and is seen approaching the next daily support at 1.1625. Immediate daily resistance is at 1.1767 (10-Day Moving Average Line), followed by 1.1824. The default MACD is showing a downtrend while the short-term moving average lines (10-Day and 40-Day Moving Average Lines) are still indicating that the pair is on its major “down” trend. The Daily Stochastic is seen moving downward at the 19% level, indicating the pair may recover or rebound sometime this coming week.

From the hourly chart, the pair has broken two key intra-day support at 1.1760 and 1.1717 over the past two days. The pair needs to break above these two levels to indicate a strong rebound. Otherwise, it is still weak as long as it remains below these levels.

We are waiting for the pair to resume its major “upward” retracement and go long on the pair.

USD/JPY

From the weekly chart, last week the pair failed in its attempt to crawl back to its upward channel. Both the Long MACD and the Moving Average Lines are still indicating a down-trend. This week the pair met firm resistance at 117.93 (52-Week Moving Average Line) and went south after that. Its immediate weekly support is at 114.15, followed by 113.00 (Weekly 50% Fibo Level) and 112.58. Weekly Stochastic is seen going to cross downward at 72% level, indicating a possible beginning of a major downward move.

From the daily chart, the pair has broken its daily support at 115.18 and is seen approaching the 113.65 daily support level. Its short-term (10-Day and 40-Day) moving average lines have crossed downward again indicating its downward move. Default MACD is indicating a downtrend. Daily Stochastic is seen pointing downward at the 13% level, indicating a possible rebound this week before resuming its downward move.

From the hourly chart, the pair is on its downward move, breaking intra-day support levels at 115.83, 115.60, 115.20 and 114.67.

We will look for a rebound and then go short on the pair.

EUR/JPY

On the weekly chart, last week the pair met firm resistance at the upper band of its upward channel (i.e. 167.89) and went south, like its counterpart USD/JPY, and reached a weekly support level at 163.63, with next weekly support at 162.69 (13-Week Moving Average Line). Weekly Stochastic is seen crossing downward at 84% level. The pair maybe undergoing a possible major “downward” retracement.

On the daily chart, the pair broke a key daily support at 165.16 and went south towards the 163.39 (40-Day Moving Average Line). Default MACD is beginning to  indicate a downtrend. Daily Stochastic is seen moving downward at the 20% level, indicating a possible rebound this week before resuming its downward move.

On the hourly chart, the pair is currently supported at 116.80.

We are now bearish towards this pair. Watching to sell on rebound.
