Bullish Bias On The Philippine Peso

With an imminent GDP announcement, this pair looks like it is finding support at the roughly 0.73 level, as the lows actually dip as far as 0.71. This creates a massive support zone that could hold it up over the longer-term. If we can break the recent highs at 0.7450, this would be very bullish for the short-term in this market. A break below the 0.71 handle would be very bearish.

USD/JPY Forecast For March 24, 2011

Posted: 23 Mar 2011 11:47 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
This pair continues to move sideways in a very tight range. This is because the central banks have all decided that a floor will be put in the market. The biggest issue is that nobody really knows where that is. Speculators seem to have gotten the message that was sent, and aren't in a hurry to test the CB's resolve in the matter. Because of this – you will find very little action in this pair for the time being.

The USD/CHF pair rose today, although it certainly cannot be considered a buy at these levels.

There is no real case or signal to buy this pair at the moment, as continued franc buying seems to be in the cards. A break above 0.93 would be necessary to even begin the conversation of buying this pair.

The biggest problem we will have trading this pair is that neither economies seem to be favored at the moment. Because of this, these types of days will happen. Until the 1.60 level is broken through, there is no real shorting opportunity in this pair. The pair should be bought on dips, but be prepared to be patient for your gains.

The EUR/USD pair fell today as we retreated from the 1.4250 area, which was mentioned as possible resistance in yesterday's video.

However, if we fail to do so and rise again – any close above 1.4250 signals new buying. A break below the 1.40 mark would lead to support at 1.38, and a break there would be bearish as the pair will certainly … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates
