Technical Analysis

This is a recap of my trade ideas from 01/22/07-01/26/07

The Dollar pulled a nice little last minute punch at the end of the trading day today and nudged higher against the majors. As I am typing this, the buck is making further moves against the Yen once again.

The Dollar pulled a nice 180 today after it got its butt kicked yesterday and the Yen finally put up a fight! The Yen has been getting crushed for a while now and its weakness is becoming a concern. German officials are saying that the weak Yen may be a topic for the next G-7 meeting.

After plenty of gains made by the Dollar, it finally got a nice butt whoopin today…..except of course with the Yen, but that’s a whole other story.

Wow do we have one boring week or what?! There is a lack of major economic reports due out this week and because of that I expect a lot of this weeks movement to be based more on the technicals. I personally don’t mind since I’m mostly a technical trader myself anyways. On to the charts…

This is the trade review for my Euro trade that I posted over the weekend.

I’ve decided to make a few changes on my blog. From here on out, this blog will only focus on the technical analysis of the 4 major currency pairs: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/CHF, and the USD/JPY. I am passing all of the fundamental report recaps to my buddy Forex Gump, and he will be giving you your daily fundamental dose in his Piponomics blog.

This is the trade review for my Euro trade that was originally posted on January 18, 2007.

The Dollar made slight gains against the Euro and Pound but ended up falling back down to about where it was yesterday. Against the Yen however, the Dollar climbed to a near 4 year high. The BOJ decided to keep rates steady at 0.25% while the US data showed improvements in housing and manufacturing, plus increases in consumer prices.

Today was chalk full of fundamental juice to give the markets some nice movements. The overall theme still seems to be the same…the US economy is still in moderate growth and there is still a slight upside risk to inflation. So basically we’re still stuck in neutral.

After a nice three day weekend, it’s time to get back to the markets! Yesterday’s trading was booorrrringgg since it was a US holiday but it’s obvious that the volume has picked back up today….which means it’s time to start looking for trades!

Today is Martin Luther King day and seeing how it is a national holiday, I will not be trading the markets. But don’t fret, I still have some FX content that should keep your brains busy until we trade again! Today I’d like to recap a post that was made by Pip Diddy earlier in the month that talked about the seasonal movements for the Dollar in December and January.

This is a recap of my Cable trade that I originally posted on January 11, 2007

Well the GBP unexpectedly rose their rates to 5.25% today, but surprisingly enough, that wasn’t what got traders moving. It was the unexpectedly dovish tone that Mr. Trichet had when the ECB released their interest rate statement.
