http://www.babypips.com/blogs/chartology/ en Copyright 2012 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:29:06 -0500 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss I see the EUR/USD in a state of transition and not to be left out...I see the U.S. Dollar Index in the same transition. While the EUR/USD is moving sideways at the BOTTOM of its range, the greenback is doing it at the TOP of its uptrend. http://www.babypips.com/blogs/chartology/recognizing_trend_transitions.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/chartology/recognizing_trend_transitions.html Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:29:06 -0500 The EUR/USD has a number of hurdles to overcome before a ceiling it established. I am looking for a ceiling - for now - since the market trend has transitioned into a sideways range. IT IS early in the transition but a "V" bottom is unlikely here with the underlying fundamental picture and the 1.3050 to 1.3200 area is a thick layer of resistance. http://www.babypips.com/blogs/chartology/the_eurusd_enters_a_zone_of_ma.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/chartology/the_eurusd_enters_a_zone_of_ma.html Wed, 25 Jan 2012 15:38:33 -0500 ...here we are again, another pullback within the context of what is still an uptrend. This time however I am going to be a little more cautious about my upside expectations. I still expect there to be support within the 34EMA Wave however I am concerned about the ability for the greenback to press to higher highs http://www.babypips.com/blogs/chartology/what_im_doing_with_todays_doll_1.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/chartology/what_im_doing_with_todays_doll_1.html Wed, 18 Jan 2012 10:34:27 -0500 It's just a correction folks, keep walking, nothing to see here. The uptrend is still intact. But for your doubters, let's take a closer look. http://www.babypips.com/blogs/chartology/worrying_about_the_us_dollar_t.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/chartology/worrying_about_the_us_dollar_t.html Wed, 04 Jan 2012 07:17:45 -0500 With the push from Wednesday's rally, the corrections in the trends on the U.S. Dollar Index and EUR/USD have triggered. Now the question is that has the RISK APPETITE of Wednesday exhausted? http://www.babypips.com/blogs/chartology/my_trio_of_trades_based_on_ris.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/chartology/my_trio_of_trades_based_on_ris.html Fri, 02 Dec 2011 09:12:03 -0500 It's tough to pinpoint exactly at which point the exhaustion from today's RISK ON rally will begin. It's even tougher (on a day like today) to shift the focus to three specific charts where there is a downtrend (EUR/USD), an uptrend (U.S. Dollar Index), and no trend (the Dow Jones Industrial Average). http://www.babypips.com/blogs/chartology/my_take_on_todays_coordinated.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/chartology/my_take_on_todays_coordinated.html Wed, 30 Nov 2011 15:19:19 -0500 Here's a series of videos that I recorded that walks you through a typical morning of determining risk appetite versus risk aversion and how I look at the Dow, U.S. dollar, and crude oil for clues in the forex market. http://www.babypips.com/blogs/chartology/breaking_down_todays_risk_appe.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/chartology/breaking_down_todays_risk_appe.html Mon, 28 Nov 2011 14:06:36 -0500 Today I am sharing with you a short, three video series that explains, step-by-step, a recent trade in the USD/CHF. It's less about the trade itself and more about how I identified the opportunity and the environment it was setting up within. http://www.babypips.com/blogs/chartology/trade_lesson_usdchf.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/chartology/trade_lesson_usdchf.html Thu, 10 Nov 2011 10:57:17 -0500 There's not a lot to say about the USD/JPY today. Everything that had to be said I think occurred a week ago with the test of 76.00. What I did want to outline here were the clues, the price levels, and the thinking behind the buy set up and the trigger of 76.00. http://www.babypips.com/blogs/chartology/a_walk-through_my_boj_interven.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/chartology/a_walk-through_my_boj_interven.html Mon, 31 Oct 2011 16:43:53 -0500 There's a battle occurring between near-term sentiment (risk appetite) and a longer-term (bleaker) outlook for the market and specifically the euro. But the euro refuses to obey the headlines, the doubt, and the optimism trade is still on. http://www.babypips.com/blogs/chartology/eurusd_defying_gravity.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/chartology/eurusd_defying_gravity.html Mon, 24 Oct 2011 12:44:16 -0500 The EUR/USD's rally today was a correction of the overall downtrend that can seen on the daily chart. This trend view from the daily is the most psychologically relevant opinion and therefore the most dominant view of the pair - regardless of today's intraday move higher. http://www.babypips.com/blogs/chartology/corrections_versus_reversals_a.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/chartology/corrections_versus_reversals_a.html Mon, 10 Oct 2011 19:29:23 -0500 I have been waiting for a pullback in the USD/CAD and it's here. The set up as well as my view on trends are explained here in this video, just 11 minutes! http://www.babypips.com/blogs/chartology/trends_explained_in_11_minutes.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/chartology/trends_explained_in_11_minutes.html Wed, 05 Oct 2011 08:26:37 -0500 The 60-minute chart has corrected the intraday downtrend and triggered a swing short. This is an overall trend following trade because the daily time frame is heading lower with a bearish Directional Bias. http://www.babypips.com/blogs/chartology/a_look_at_my_intraday_eurusd_s.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/chartology/a_look_at_my_intraday_eurusd_s.html Mon, 19 Sep 2011 15:25:42 -0500 How much longer until yen bulls feel emboldened to buy the yen again? It all depends on how long the BOJ intervention threat is weighing on trader's minds. A resumption of the U.S. equities downtrend could put a lot of pressure on the USD/JPY. http://www.babypips.com/blogs/chartology/the_usdjpys_line_in_the_sand.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/chartology/the_usdjpys_line_in_the_sand.html Wed, 14 Sep 2011 16:08:56 -0500 This is a chance to DO GOOD and learn!
