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?

That's the advice I'd give Western leaders when imposing sanctions on Russia over the Ukraine crisis.

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?

By: Nadia_Simmons
Earlier today, the combination of positive economic indicators in the U.S. pushed the euro to a 11-week low against the greenback. Thanks to this news, EUR/USD slipped to important support levels. Will they withstand the selling pressure and trigger a corrective upswing in the following days? Or maybe today’s show of weakness means that the worst for the common currency is not behind us?

EUR/USD A Gift for Currency Bears / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Nadia_Simmons
Earlier today, the ZEW Institute showed that its index of German economic sentiment fell to a 16-month low this month. Additionally, the ZEW Institute reported that its economic sentiment index for the entire euro zone also moved down to 55.2 in May, from a reading of 61.2 the previous month. These disappointing numbers pushed the common currency to a 1-month low against the U.S. dollar. In this way, EUR/USD dropped to its downside target, but is it enough to trigger a corrective upswing?

By: Nadia_Simmons

Taper Tantrums or the Start of an Emerging Markets Forex Crisis? / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: MahiFX
Unwinding the US Federal Reserve's quantitative easing programme was never going to be easy and it has barely started and some emerging market countries are already running into trouble.
So far the worst hit countries also appear to be victims of their own internal problems, such as high current account deficits and political turbulence. In effect, ultra cheap money from the Fed was papering over some serious cracks – similar to what the EUR was doing for years for peripheral Eurozone countries.
