The Dollar and Manipulation Control the Market

Over the weekend I had an interesting conversation with a local trader. We typically meet a few times a year to share our market outlooks, new trading tools and techniques, and usually finish our session off in a debate about the US market manipulation and how to trade around it. Talking about market manipulation always opens up a can of worms and sparks some interesting theories.

What to Do with the USDCAD at 2012 Lows

April was choppy and difficult to navigate. May ideally ushers in better conditions. Continue to watch the Yen crosses, as many are near/at their 50% retracements from the February lows. The EUR, CAD, AUD, and USD are heavy on event risk this week.

Risk Currencies on Verge of Collapse against US Dollar

EURUSD - I wrote Friday that "the end of week rally is probably a last gasp before reality sets in for the EURUSD." Today's action confirms as much. Look lower towards 12900 and channel support. Watch the channel closely as a drop below would be a 'tell' that the decline from 13379 is a 3rd wave rather than a C wave. 13160 is short term resistance.

US Dollar Index Holding at 79.20

The US Dollar Index has floated along the 79.20 for the majority of the day Friday. The DXY came under selling pressure at the start of trade in Europe and continued to swoon until it hit 79.20. However the DXY has been able to hold that support level.

US Dollar Nears Short Term Trendline Support

The near term analysis for the US dollar is the exact opposite of the EURUSD. A triangle appears to be unfolding. The implications are bearish. Expect weakness to extend to short term trendline support near 74.00 before a rally attempt in wave E. Like the EURUSD, there is an alternate count that treats the triangle as complete. Near term resistance is 74.87 and 75.05.

US Dollar Bullish Breakout around Corner?

The drop below 7496 may complete a flat correction. Risk on longs can now be moved to 7423 as a drop below there would leave the rally in 3 waves and indicate that the larger trend is probably still down. As long as price is above 7423, there is potential for an extended advance in a 3rd wave and eventual break above 7637.

Weekly Trading Update (April 25 – 29, 2011)

“Stop focusing on whether a trade was a winner or a loser and focus on flawless execution instead… I don’t look at my profit and loss and decide from that whether or not I have had a good trading week. My sole focus is whether I flawlessly executed my trading plan for the week… Most [.

Forex Technical Update 3/12/2011 - A Look at the Japanese Yen Crosses

The Japanese Yen can become erratic after Friday's Earthquake in Honshu, Japan. The reaction so far has been a stronger Yen as we saw the USD/JPY plunge. The EUR/JPY and GBP/JPY also fell, but the market has not shown anything significant in terms of Japanese yen strength. The CAD/JPY for example could still be in an uptrend, and the AUD/JPY has already reversed almost all of the reaction.

Fed Rate Decision on the Radar; Market Participants Positioning Ahead of Risk

The Euro remains well bid into Wednesday and although Wednesday’s are traditionally good days for reversals, we certainly could also not rule out the possibility for additional upside towards next key topside barriers by 1.3745 and the 1.3985 further up.
