Early Reversal Signs in EUR/USD / Currencies / Forex Trading
Following an early July high of 1.4337 we had, for various technical reasons, adopted a somewhat speculative bear stance in EUR/USD. After an initial move down (to our first ‘profit-taking’ level) subsequent consolidative action eventually sidelined us – but now, the negative signs are creeping back again…

The Forex Trading Conundrum / Currencies / Forex Trading

British Pound Remains Under Threat of Another Bear Phase / Currencies / British Pound
As with other markets GBP/USD has been broadly consolidative during June and July, with upside attempts being successfully repelled so far. In recent FX Trading Guides we have wondered if the 30-Jun spike to 1.6744 and drop back marked a blow-off move, in preparation for a better bear phase – and we still believe this is a prospect.

Euro Poised to Take off! / Currencies / Forex Trading
Purely from a technical perspective, the euro is poised to take off against the dollar. All week long, the euro has consolidated in a tight range roughly between 1.4290 and 1.4100, which resembles a Bull Flag formation readying itself for an upside thrust. If such a thrust unfolds, then we should expect EUR/USD to climb to 1.4400-1.4500 next.

Abandoned U.S. Dollar and Paradigm Shift / Currencies / US Dollar
A paradigm shift is underway, unrecognized inside the US kettle. Its water level is falling and its temperature is rising, even as fewer foreign born cooks stir its contents. The US banking and political leaders errantly pursue a path toward a return to normalcy, when all pathways have been washed out by powerful storms that to do abate and will worsen. Several key developments point to a new global order taking shape, as the Chinese actively work to plant global seeds that result in the Yuan currency serving more of a role in global trade. They will eventually de-throne the USDollar from its primal perch. The USDollar will be used less in global trade. The US$-based assets are being diversified. These developments are gaining traction, power, and publicity.

Analyzing the Australian Dollar, Up, Down, and Under / Currencies / Forex Trading
Viewed from the outside, trading in the arcane world of foreign exchange might appear to be quite glamorous. However, attempting to anticipate the next major move in the Euro, yen, or British pound, can be injurious to one’s mental health or pocketbook, especially when schizophrenia often rules the day. Yet despite the enigma that surrounds the $4-trillion per day FX market, when staring at the weekly price charts, the outside observer will notice established and methodical price trends in the currency markets that can last for weeks, months, or even years.
