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:

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.

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.

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.

AUD NZD Taking The Forex Bull By The Horns / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Austin_Galt

One such opportunity may be about to present itself this week. Let’s take a look beginning with the daily chart.Read full article... Read full article...

Bitcoin Price Strong Move Possibly Ahead / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Mike_McAra
In short: we still support speculative long positions in the market, stop-loss at $550.
Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn co-founder, expressed his views on Bitcoin in a CNBC interview:
Another one that I've been paying a lot of attention to in the last 6 to 12 months has been Bitcoin.

I think there's a lot of different things happening.
