Gold & Equities On The Verge Of Breaking Out!

Posted: 10 Mar 2011 03:35 AM PST

The past couple weeks we have seen strong distribution selling in the equities market followed by equally large days of buying. These buying and selling frenzies have formed a sideways consolidation.

Intraday movements have been sizable and more than enough to shake those trying to pick a direction early out of the market a few times. As fewer traders get involved the price range narrows and becomes compressed. Eventually there will be a breakout in a direction on heavy volume and with … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates


Two Charts That Could Foretell The Future

Posted: 10 Mar 2011 03:19 AM PST

The US Dollar index found support at 72 and has held that low for the time being. Yet, the buck was unable to hold both strong rallies of the past two years. Now it has fallen below 80 and is threatening support at 75. In the short-term we feel the greenback can hold its own for a while. However, this is a very ominous looking chart. The US$ needs to find its legs soon or 2011 and 2012 could be ugly.

Likewise, interest rates are again on the cusp of a major breakout which of course … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates

EUR USD Forex Forecast For March 10, 2011

Posted: 10 Mar 2011 01:59 AM PST

By ForexMansion.com

Looking at the last 48 hours in the EUR/USD pair, you can see that we are hovering around the 1.39 handle, and trying to decide if we are going to retest 1.38 as support, or make another run at 1.40 for a potential breakout.
Until this is done, there will be no clear direction for this pair. A break over the 1.40 area on a daily close would signal a continuation of the latest bull run. A break below 1.38 would send this pair down towards 1.3450. And supportive action at … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates

The cable has been grinding in an upward fashion as a result of the recent channel that formed in January. The last two days have confirmed that bottom line, yet haven't looked all that bullish. This could be a cause for concern; however the support at 1.61 should be there to catch any fall in this pair.
The ultimate destination for cable is 1.70, but that is a long way off. Any longs should be prepared to wait for your profits. This pair is going to move slightly higher, … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates

The Aussie has been pinging around in a massive triangle for weeks now, and has recently confirmed the validity of the bottom trend line of said triangle. Because of this, the pair still has a bullish bias, even though it hasn't moved much recently.
The nice thing about this chart at the moment is that there is a clear breakout point that everyone will be watching: 1.02 – which could signal a move to 1.09 as based upon the measurement of the triangle. It also has a … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates

By ForexMansion.com

The Royal Bank of New Zealand announced a 0.50% rate cut today, and this pair didn't react much. Although a cut was expected, most economists suggested a 0.25% cut. The statement suggested that the cut was a once off type cut as it was a move to be proactive about the needed construction around the city of Christchurch which was recently devastated by an earthquake.

By ForexMansion.com

The support area that has been followed by us here at ForexMansion.com in this pair has finally been breached as of Wednesday. Because of this, the USD/CAD should take a decidedly bearish tone form this point forward.
The daily bar does resemble a hammer, but with the slow, grinding, and methodical mature of the move down, it simply signifies that the move to 0.95 and 0.90 might be a slower affair than one might have imagined.

USD CHF Forex Forecast For March 10, 2011

Posted: 10 Mar 2011 01:53 AM PST

By ForexMansion.com

The USD/CHF recently broke below a 500 pip consolidation area that went from 0.98 to 0.93 on its outer edges. By breaking down below the lowest level, it showed that it wanted to fall again and possibly as far as the 0.88 handle. Since then, it has consolidated around the 0.93 mark, and is showing that it still is trying to decide what to do.
Because of this, there is now a case being made that a bear flag is forming in this area, which would measure 500 pips. Odd, … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates

Natural gas had a fairly bullish day on Wednesday as traders again tried to test the resistance formed a few weeks ago. The bulls find themselves stuck at that level, and a lot of questions are currently being asked in the pits.
The current range is between 2.85 and $4. This should continue to be the case until a major catalyst can be found. It should be noted that the market has been down for a very, very, very long time.

The AUD/USD pair has been in a steep incline for weeks. The pair broke the 1.35 area, and showed that new highs were in order. After Wednesday's RBNZ rate cut out of New Zealand, the pair has surged yet again.
The smartest move is to wait for a pullback, and hopefully to the 1.35 level. Shorts are highly discouraged in this pair as there is no real bear case for it. If we do not get a pullback to 1.35, it might be a while before a nice long set up shows … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates
