EURUSD Time For A Bear Rally / Currencies / Euro
By: Austin_Galt
Recently I've been a bit out of whack on this pair, the EURUSD. I feel confident in the longer term projections. It's the daily machinations that I'm still trying to get in-synch with. Sometimes you just need to step back and let the market do its thing, not forcing the issue. And then out of the blue, that desired clarity appears. And that just may be happening now.

Forex Dark Clouds Hang Over AUD/USD / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Nadia_Simmons
The Australian dollar declined to a two-month low against its U.S. counterpart after official data showed that the number of employed people in Australia fell by 300 in the previous month, missing expectations for an increase of 12,000. Additionally, Australia's unemployment rate rose to 6.4% last month, from 6.0% in June. Later in the day, AUD/USD extended losses after the Labor Department said in its report that initial claims for jobless benefits in the week ending Aug. 2 fell by 14,000, beating analysts’ expectations for a 2,000 increase. Because of these numbers, the pair declined to the long-term support line. Will it be strong enough to stop currency bears’ charge?

U.S. Dollar Index Looks For Correction Within The Uptrend / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Gregor_Horvat
The US Dollar Index found 81.70 which has been expected as the rally from around 79.90 has unfolded in five waves. We know that after every five waves trend will reverse, either into a new trend or just into a correction. In our case we believe that market is now falling in another fourth wave, but of a higher degree that may find a base around 81.20, but after a three wave fall.

Commodity Currencies / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Ed_Carlson
Keeping an eye on the currencies of big commodity producing nations not only provides us insight into demand for commodities but the health of emerging markets as well.
Canadian Dollar (CAD) was turned back at the 38.2% retracement of the 2012 decline (part of the 2011 bear market). With the break of the bear flag last week it appears the bear market rally is over.

British Pound GBP/USD Impulse Wave Weakness / Currencies / British Pound
By: Gregor_Horvat
GBPUSD accelerated down to 1.6800 at the end of last week, so we suspect that pair is falling within an extended impulse. Ideally price is now recovering in wave (iv) that is part of an extended and ongoing wave 3 that may reach levels around 1.6700 by the end of the week. Only rally back above 1.6955 will invalidate the current count; so until then trend is down.

EUR/USD - Time for Rebound? / Currencies / Euro
By: Nadia_Simmons
On Friday, the common currency rebounded sharply after disappointing U.S. employment data, which showed that the U.S. economy added 209,000 jobs in July, missing expectations for an increase of 233,000. As a result, EUR/USD erased over 20% of recent declines and came back above 1.3400. Will currency bulls manage to push the pair higher?

By: Mike_McAra
In short: we still support long speculative positions, stop-loss at $550.
We read a piece on Businessweek on the Bitcoin Foundation’s recent foray into politics:
The Bitcoin Foundation’s executive director, Jon Matonis, travels the world to promote the virtual currency as a replacement for traditional money. Some of his members want him to focus on a less lofty goal: helping them make lots of old-fashioned cash.

USD Topping Out – Nikkei Weekly Pin Bar / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Submissions
Forex Kong writes: The other day’s 100 pip ramp up in USD/JPY has stuck – so far.
Sitting up here at the top end of the range it’s obvious that The BOJ did everything it could “pre U.S GDP debacle” to keep the status quo and defend the line at 101.20.

The Cleanest Dirty Shirt / Currencies / Fiat Currency
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
All modern currencies are fiat. The numeraire of the moment floats in a cesspool of policy designed for management and intervention.Money and value become hollowed out concepts.
The eventual return to a sound relationship between human productivity and the value of money will be unloved, to say the least.

AUD-NZD Pullback Opportunity / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Austin_Galt
Well, the AUDNZD absolutely exploded out of that false break low pattern identified a few weeks ago. I was hoping to add more long positions at the start of last week but wasn't nimble enough. I may just get another opportunity shortly albeit at higher prices but sometimes you just gotta roll with the punches. The market is the big boss and I am but its mere minion. Let's take a look at what's currently being offered up with the daily chart.

AUD-JPY - Watching Commodity Currencies – What Can Be Learned / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Submissions
ForexKong: It’s pretty common knowledge that the currencies of countries with “commodity related economies” such as Australia, New Zealand and Canada are seen as the “darlings of the currency markets” during times when investors feel safe.
Simply put, large institutional investors are able to borrow money such as U.S Dollars or Japanese Yen at extremely low rates of interest, then use these funds to invest in currencies / countries where higher yields and greater opportunities can be found. Australia with its mining / gold related businesses, as well Canada with its oil as a couple of good examples.

Forex Multi-week Consolidation in EUR/USD Ended / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Nadia_Simmons
Earlier today, official data showed that the annual rate of U.S. inflation was at 1.2% in the previous month, while core inflation (without food and energy costs) increased by just 0.1% month-on-month and U.S. consumer prices were up 0.3%. On top of that, U.S. existing home sales increased 2.6%, while analysts had expected an increase of 2%. Thanks to these bullish numbers, the common currency declined against the U.S dollar to a 8-month low. What are the implications of this event?

GBP/USD Elliott Wave Analysis: Reversal To Come!? / Currencies / British Pound
By: Gregor_Horvat
GBP/USD hit a new highs of the year last week week at 1.7190, but then turned back down through 1.7057. Notice that this was fourth wave low, so if this swing is broken, then we can assume that pair accomplished a five wave rise. As such, we expected weaker pound now, but from minimum point of view that would be with three legs down, so more weakness to come after a wave 2/B rally that may look for a resistance this week around 1.7140.
