Learning to Trade Currencies Using Multiple Time Frame Analysis / InvestorEducation / Forex Trading
By: Submissions
Adam Green writes:What is multiple time frame trade analysis? This is the practice of using multiple time frames to determine the trend of a currency asset so as to determine the possible points of trade entry in tandem with the direction of the trend. This trade investment strategy was designed to solve the problem of traders getting into trades that are against the trend as a result of conducting analysis only on short term time charts.

U.S. Dollar and Gold Have Eyes on Europe / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: J_W_Jones
Friday saw heavy selling pressure coming into risk assets, specifically equities and oil. However, the real driving force behind the selling pressure is likely the result of several unrelated economic/geopolitical events. Clearly the unemployment report had an impact on price action, but strangely enough it would appear to those more in tune with reality that market participants want lower prices so that the next quantitative easing program can be initiated.

Why The Dollar and Stocks Could Start Moving In The Same Direction / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Bryan_Rich
The theme of the global financial markets is now moving more toward the realization that growth will be ultra-slow (if not recession like territory), unemployment will remain persistently high and global economic shocks will continue to roll through. This is an important realization. Up until recently, the consensus has been that each economic shock or event along the way has been holding the world back from a return to normalcy – a full recovery.

By: EWI
On February 16, EUR/USD, the euro-dollar exchange rate and the most actively traded forex pair, surged over 170 pips, from below $1.30 to above $1.3150.
The explanations for the strong rally boiled down to "hopes" that the Greek bond-swap deal would be reached.

By: Capital3X
Before we begin this analysis, please do make it a point to go through Yen charts and analysis.

The yen analysis has been updated with one of the charts provided in the current analysis.
The week has seen strong moves up and down for risk assets but more often than not, they have been in the channel. We take this opportunity to look at some of these pairs.

Macro Economic News Aiding Currency Market Technicals for 2012 / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Capital3X
RBA stood pat early this morning as it kept rates at 4.25% and AUD/USD reacted sharply up to 1.08 levels but was capped at the barrier at 1.08. We expect this level to be challenged.
China early on Friday decided to drain 26 bn yuan from the money market. These are all limiting factors in the risk rally of 2012 and unless you are looking carefully, you may miss these important triggers and on the downside, they will accelerate the falls. Markets unwind differently than when they go up.

U.S. Dollar Foreign Currency Pairs Analysis / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Tony_Caldaro
As we noted in the most recent weekend update, there have been some developments in the long term Secular/Supercycle patterns of the currencies. As you are aware, the USD Secular trend, or Supercycle if you will, has been bearish against most foreign currencies since 1985. We have reason to believe this ended at the 2011 price low of 72.70 DXY. The USD should now be in a Secular bull market. Initial estimates suggest the DXY should reach 140 by 2018.

U.S. Dollar and Currencies: Review and Outlook / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Axel_Merk
In 2012, policy makers around the world may be driven by the realization that the theme of 2011 was not a Euro-specific crisis, but simply another stage in a global financial crisis. Central bankers may ramp up their printing presses in an effort to limit “contagion” concerns. As such, the currency markets may be the purest way to take a view on the “mania” of policy makers. Market movements may continue to be largely driven by political rhetoric, rather than company earnings announcements or economic data. We don’t believe this trend will abate over the foreseeable future, especially given the likely leadership changes throughout several G-7 nations.

Aussie Dollar Drops on China Economic Weakness / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Regent_Markets
While European politicians bicker, another global worry flashed in the small hours of this morning. China has been the engine of global growth in recent years but today's economic data came in below expectations in many areas. As a major supplier of China, Australia has been hit hard by this so far with the AUD/USD down 0.70% and the NZD/USD down by a similar margin.

The Three Must-Own Currencies of 2012 / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Money_Morning
Martin Hutchinson writes:
If 2011 taught us one thing, it's that currency investing can be a dangerous business.
For instance, the euro - the simplest of hedges against a declining dollar and the U.S. Federal Reserve's expansive monetary policy - has run into difficulties, losing billions for even the most sophisticated Wall Street banks.

The morning moves so far mirror what we say yesterday with the Australian dollar leading the fallers. It's almost a carbon copy of yesterday's start which ended with most markets in the black for today as news of Berlusconi's imminent resignation spread.

Euro and Forex Markets Analysis / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Capital3X
Many believe that EUR action is all about Dollar Index. We disagree. The times we live in now are no more led by Dollar action but rather by EUR action given the tremendous implications of what is happening in EU zone. Who would have thought that a disparate group of politicians, each subservient to their political goals and with a tinge in common between them would chart a path to common fiscal union. We had doubts as did markets. But for the first time, we feel that fiscal union and treaty change are now a matter of time rather than whether they will happen!
