AUD NZD Taking The Forex Bull By The Horns / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Austin_Galt
Since my last AUDNZD report, the false break low of 1.062 has been confirmed by a sharp move higher. The nature of the move looks very impulsive. As I have said in previous reports, I am very bullish about the long term prospects of the AUDNZD and so therefore will be on the lookout for opportunities to average up into my existing long position. 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...

Escalating Middle East Tensions Could Spur Forex Market Volatility / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: MahiFX
The extraordinary events featuring the Islamist extremist movement ISIS seemingly determined to carve out a new caliphate covering large parts of Syria and Iraq could yet have big reverberations in the currency markets.
Potential volatility in the currencies is likely to be first telegraphed through the oil market with the Middle East being a key supplier to the world economy. Should oil prices soar, say if ISIS made further big advances, then there could be serious damage done to the world economy.

AUD-USD Fake Out / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Austin_Galt
Your rugby opponent runs towards you with ball in hand. Just as you’re about to tackle him he feigns to go right, but then steps back to the left and darts off with you in hot pursuit. Just as it is in rugby, so too is it in the market. The market is our opponent and it’s our job to tackle it. It is not our friend. It is our enemy and it will do all it can to elude us. It will play mind games with us. Daring us to do this or that, knowing its only aim is to dupe us. And if we are duped it will do its utmost not to let us catch it after we finally cotton on to the charade. In this case, the AUDUSD looks to have dummied to the high side then sidestepped back to the low side and is now streaking away. Rallies should be small as it makes it hard to get set for those that didn’t pick the initial fake out.

Learn How to Analyse the Forex Markets Using Fibonacci Ratios / InvestorEducation / Forex Trading
By: Submissions
David Parker writes: Given a forex trader’s endless search of his next trading position, the Fibonacci tool falls under the scope of technical analysis and it’s used for the prediction of future price levels. Many technical analysts have considerable respect for its abilities in predicting future rates, and learning how to use Fibonacci numbers may contribute a lot to your forex trading career. However, as it is the case with most technical indicators, this tool is best to be combined with other technical sources and fundamental data for a more holistic feedback on future price movements.

Will GBP/USD Plunge Again? / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Nadia_Simmons
Earlier today, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported that U.S. gross domestic product in the first quarter declined for the first time since the first quarter of 2011. Despite this bearish data, the report also showed that consumer spending increased by 3.1%, indicating that economic activity has rebounded. Additionally, the Department of Labor showed in its weekly report that initial claims for jobless benefits in the U.S. last week fell by 27,000 to 300,000, beating expectations for a decline of 9,000. Thanks to these better-than-expected numbers, the U.S. dollar bounced off the session low, pushing the British pound below the 50% Fibonacci retracement once again. Will this decline trigger further deterioration?

FX Majors Look For Correction - Elliott Wave Analysis / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Gregor_Horvat
EURUSD
EURUSD fell to a new swing low but that does not mean that wave (b) correction is already completed. Corrections after such a sharp fall liek we have seen from 1.3992 are usually more complex and they will tend to retrace for around 38.2%. That's now the case on the EURUSD yet, so we assume that wave (b) is still unfolding as irregular correction. Ideally, we will see an expanded flat with 1.3770 yet to come before market turns down for (c).

Forex Trading - AUD/USD Double Trouble / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Nadia_Simmons
Earlier today, the minutes of the RBA's May policy meeting showed that the bank plans to hold interest rates at record lows for an extended period of time. Additionally, the Conference Board reported that its index for Australia was flat in March, after a 0.2% rise in February. In reaction to this disappointing news, the Australian dollar dropped to a 2-week low against its U.S. counterpart, declining below two important support levels. Does this mean that investors’ sentiment is deteriorating and we’ll see AUD/USD lower?
