Majors’s hourly perspective ahead of U.S. opening

Posted: 30 Oct 2009 06:21 AM PDT

Oil and gold falling

Posted: 30 Oct 2009 05:48 AM PDT

Oil and gold are falling heavily, dragging USD/CAD to 1,07851 and Aud to key 0.9100 support respectively; U.S. data come under expectations U.S. index should open to the downside. All of this is pointing for further dollar strength if could be call so; pay attention to commodity currencies!

Here is today’s choice. i’m not so convinced about Gbp/Usd, yet if moves unde 1.6510 should extend the downside quickly. Enjoy!

Don’t use the word intervention

Posted: 30 Oct 2009 04:38 AM PDT

Again, EUR/CHF moved under 1.5100 and jumped up 80 pips in 15 minutes, while dragging USD/CHF from 1.0170 to 1.0230; Euro feel the movement and dropp quickly to test the 1.4800 area. If this gives up, look for the 1.4770 area there! Swissy should move above 1.0230 to test the 1.0285 level.


Gbp/Usd technical points

Posted: 30 Oct 2009 04:01 AM PDT

Gbp/Usd is also forming a continuation figure a triangle in the 4 hours charts. Holding above strong 1.6520 area, indicators point for a downside correction, that should over come that zone to start. Next support lie at 1.6470 and 1.6440, while resistances from current price are located at 1.6550 and 1.6600.

 


Eur/Usd pushing higher

Posted: 30 Oct 2009 03:45 AM PDT

Euro remains close to daily high, forming a small continuation flag in the 4 hours chart; fighting also with the 38.2% retracement of the last upleg, and after rebounding in the 20 SMA, pair is set to continue to the upside. I guess lower stocks around the world is what’s capping the rally at this point. Break above high will find next resistance around 1.4890, followed by 1.4925 and 1.4960. Supports come at today’s low 1.4810, 1.4770 and 1.4740.

Starting the day

Posted: 30 Oct 2009 03:20 AM PDT

Hi everybody and welcome back. Friday, 7 a.m. in Buenos Aires, 31°C. Dollar remains under pressure, yet right where it started Asian session against most rivals, despite local stocks markets print some gains; Japanese yen rose after the release of strong jobs data in the day, coupled with the decision by the Bank of Japan to unwind some of its stimulus steps, giving more signs of optimism over the global economy recovery.

At this point, both European index and U.S. futures are in the red side, maybe because we are at the last day of the month: get ready to see some profit booking in today’s sessions, that could favour greenback. Early European data showed German Retail sales continued falling against expectations, deflation remains in place, and unemployment at 9.7% . No good news for the euro zone. Still, day is young, and many things could happen. Here is the link for today’s calendar, check it out while I take a look at charts:

Have a great day!


Happy Halloween


Halloween is an awesomely fun holiday. I like it. My kids like it. And young women use it as a temporary insanity defense for acting slutty, much to young men's benefit.

Too bad my kid's elementary school canceled Halloween costumes because the new Somali immigrants find it offensive to their sensibilities.
