December 12th Long-Term Charts // 09 Dec. 2011

The EUR/USD pair had a back and forth week, but simply cannot impress as the summit didn't lead to a massive rally. This shows us that the overall market feels very bearish of the Euro still. The USD/CAD pair had a wide range for the week, but failed to move convincingly in either direction in the end. The 1.01 level is still holding as support, and with the global risks out there - we prefer Dollars over Loonies anyway. USD/JPY still continues to try and grind lower in this market. The Bank of Japan has been intervening in this pair for a while now, and it has set up an obvious spot from which to go long. The question is whether or not we will ever be able to overcome it?

Pound Versus Dollar and Euro December 9th // 08 Dec. 2011

GBP/USD rose during the session on Thursday as trader originally bought into the “risk on” trade when the ECB cut rates in Europe. The lack of bond buying in the press conference made the market shutter, and they would sell off risk in general. The falling of this pair suggests that perhaps we could see a run down to 1.55 again. EUR/GBP fell originally during the session as the markets retested the 0.85 level again for support. The resulting candle from the session is a hammer, and looks supportive. If 0.85 is taken out - this pair goes much lower. Otherwise, it looks like consolidation continues. Play video >>

Dollar Versus Aussie and Kiwi December 9th // 08 Dec. 2011

AUD/USD had a wild day during the Thursday session as the markets went between hope and fear on various EU-related headlines. The rate cut was anticipated but well-received, but the lack of commitment by the ECB to buy bonds spooked the market. NZD/USD reacted in kind, and both of these pairs have made lower lows on Thursday as the markets continue to react to all thing Europe. Play video >>

Aussie Versus Dollar and Yen December 8th // 07 Dec. 2011

AUD/USD rose during the session on Wednesday as traders continue to anticipate good news coming out of the EU after this weeks summit. The pair still finds itself in consolidation, and the next 200 pips above are going to be hard to overtake unless we get good news from that meeting. AUD/JPY is a highly risk-sensitive pair. The pair did rise a bit during Wednesday, but only somewhat. The hammer from the Tuesday session suggests that we may go higher, but we will have to overcome the 80 mark first. Play video >>

Euro Versus Yen and Aussie December 8th // 07 Dec. 2011

EUR/JPY had a very flat day in the end, after moving back and forth across a fairly decent range. The market is currently waiting to see what the EU is going to do at the summit late this week, so we will more than likely see this pair go sideways for another 48 hours. We see 105 as being the next hurdle for the bulls if we get good news. EUR/AUD continues to grind lower as the lows have been tested again. The 1.30 level should continue to be supportive, but a break below that has us selling heavily as it would show another leg down in this pair. Play video >>

Dollar Versus Pound and Yen December 7th // 06 Dec. 2011

GBP/USD fell during the session to trigger the sell signal from the Monday shooting star. However, the later part of the session saw a bounce, suggesting that the near-term outlook for this market is going to be sideways with a downward bias. USD/JPY continues to be a "fade the rally" pair as the Tuesday session saw a pullback in this pair. 78 is obviously massive resistance at this point, and one has to wonder if the market will insist on testing the Bank of Japan yet again.

Dollar Versus Loonie and Aussie December 7th // 06 Dec. 2011

USD/CAD fell hard during the session on Tuesday as traders bought into the oil markets and sold the Dollar in favor of the Canadian dollar. The market is resting on top of a 200-pip support zone though. Can it break through? AUD/USD initially fell for the session as the "risk off" trade continued. The RBA cutting rates didn't exactly help either. The late afternoon in the USA saw buying though, and we remain in the range. Play video >>

Dollar Versus Yen and Kiwi December 6th // 05 Dec. 2011

USD/JPY fell during the session on Monday as traders continue to run to safe haven assets. The Yen is one of the biggest safe havens, and as we were near the 78 handle, the markets felt there wasn't much threat of a Japanese intervention. The NZD/USD had a very quiet session on Monday after a parabolic move last week. The consolidation it needed and healthy, but the real question is if the gap from two weekends ago is going to get filled. We see 0.8000 as massive resistance, and think this pair needs to at least pullback. If we break Thursday's lows, we think we will do just that. Play video >>

Euro Versus Dollar and Pound December 6th // 05 Dec. 2011

EUR/USD rose during the initial surge on Monday as traders got excited by the possibility of a fiscal union in the EU coming from the Merkel and Sarkozy meeting. The union is something that the markets seem to approve of, and the reaction was expected. However, the S&P ratings agency has put 15 EU countries on "credit watch negative", sending the pair down. The EUR/GBP pair fell as a result as well, and in fact never really had the bounce that the EUR/USD pair did. This pair continues to consolidate between the 0.8650 and 0.8500 levels. Play video >>

Dollar Versus Franc and Loonie December 5th // 03 Dec. 2011

The USD/CHF pair broke above the hammer from Thursday during the Friday session as traders continue to buy Dollars. The SNB is working against the Franc, and the Dollar is bought up as fear enters the market. This is a perfect example of a trade that makes sense if you are buying. The USD/CAD pair fell again on Friday, but got a nice bounce to form a hammer right at the top of the parity – 1.01 support line. To us, this could signal a nice bounce coming if we can get a break above the highs from the Friday session. Play video >>
