Forex Trading: USDCHF Falls On Dollar Selling

Posted: 27 Dec 2010 04:47 PM PST

The USDCHF fell below its 100 hour MA at the 0.9576 level and through the Friday low at the 0.9552 level.  The price has rebounded but will need to stay below the 0.9576 level to keep the bears in the pair happy. 
A break with momentum below the 0.9556 -61 area is also required to also satisfy the shorts in the pair (and will frighten the traders who are bulls or dip buyers). On Friday, the price fell to below the 0.9556 level but quickly rebounded.  Todays deja vu trade is … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates


Forex Trading: GBPUSD Squeezes Higher As Well

Posted: 27 Dec 2010 04:30 PM PST

The high from Friday came in at 1.5474 and approached the next bullish hurdle at the 200 hour MA at the 1.5491 level (high reached 1.5486). I would expect sellers against the level by profit takers, but would also expect and warn that a break of it should ignite additional buyers. Last weeks high came in at 1.5575. Before that level comes the 1.5567 level which is the 38.2% retracement of the move down from the December 14th high to the low on December 21st (see chart below).

Forex Trading: EURUSD Breaks Up To 38.2% Retracement At 1.3224. Don’t See Any News

Posted: 27 Dec 2010 04:18 PM PST

Stops triggered above the 1.3201 high from last week and straight up to the 38.2% retracement of the move down from the Dec 14th high to the low. That level comes in at 1.3224. Be wary of some profit taking at the level, but watch for buyers on dips toward 1.3201.
If momentum can be sustained, there is not much resistance until 1.3256-60 area, then … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates

Daily US Dollar Index Roundup – 12/27

Posted: 27 Dec 2010 01:21 PM PST

The US Dollar Index (DXY) traded quietly with several major trading centers closed for the holiday. Trade remains range-bound between the 130-day moving average and the 30-day exponential moving-average (on a closing basis). The (9-period) RSI upward sloping trendline could provide a clue for future direction. Losing support there would dampen the short-term bullish tone and would expose Fibonacci support at 79.223. Meanwhile, a sustained clearance of 130-day resistance would favor a move … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates

“Stagehand Scalping” At Carnegie Hall; Where’s The Outrage About $450,000 Salaries For Stagehands?

Posted: 27 Dec 2010 11:49 AM PST

About a year ago, I had a post about “excessive pay” for the unionized stagehands at Carnegie Hall, some of whom made more during the 2007-2008 season by pushing the 9-foot Steinway Model D concert grand piano out onto the stage for a concert than the artist makes for playing the piano.  Financial data about many nonprofit organizations, including salary data for the “highest paid employees and their compensation,” are available at the website GuideStar. Here’s the link to The Carnegie … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates
