Forex Trading: EURUSD Still Contained In Narrow Range With A Slight Bullish Bias Posted: 16 Dec 2010 05:45 AM PST The EURUSD fell to test the 200 bar MA on the 5 minute chart (confirming moving average) but quickly bounced on the topside, the price tested the highs for the day and failed there. So there remains a little bit of something for the bulls and the bears today. I still need to respect the MAs on the chart above until proven otherwise. The 100 bar MA is at 1.3233. The 200 bar MA is at 1.3226. This is the risk. A move above 1.3265 should attract more momentum buying. I still expect an extension of … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates

If Education Is Expensive, Try Ignorance Posted: 16 Dec 2010 04:01 AM PST I love our country. With four children I certainly hope for better days ahead. That said, while the virtue of hope is critically important to the growth and fiber of any institution, including a nation, hope alone will not bring us to the promised land. What is needed?

Forex Trading: EURUSD Narrow Trading Range Suggests Extension In NY Session Posted: 16 Dec 2010 03:43 AM PST With the low to high trading range at 58 pips, it is likely the range will be extended today in the NY session.  The price is currently above the converged 100 and 200 bar MA which are converged at the 1.3225 level.  There is floor support at the 1.3214 and 1.3206.
