Posted: 06 Apr 2011 11:08 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The USD/CAD pair has broke below the 0.96 level finally, but bounced towards the end of the day showing signs of support. The pair still looks bearish, and should continue to be so as long as energy, and more specifically oil – continues to rise in value. The bulls are all but gone, and a strong reversal above the 0.97 mark would have to be seen to even consider buying this pair. Selling on the rallies is the preferred strategy at the moment.

The AUD/USD pair formed a very bullish candle today, confirming the hammer that was formed yesterday. It now appears that the 1.03 area is going to be a form of support for the near-term as the pair rocketed up from there. A short can't really be considered until we get at least below 1.02, and probably below 0.97 as the momentum is simply too strong to the upside. Buy on the dips.

GBP/USD Technical Analysis For April 7, 2011

Posted: 06 Apr 2011 08:24 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The GBP/USD pair had another bull day today, finishing near the 1.6350 area which has served as resistance lately. The daily candle looks somewhat like a doji, and shows that we may be running out of momentum at the highs of this range. A pullback is probable, and patience should be shown with this pair as it still remains a buying pair.

GBP/JPY Technical Analysis For April 7, 2011

Posted: 06 Apr 2011 08:10 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
GBP/JPY continues to skyrocket northward as the market can't get enough of this currency. It is because of this that it now looks parabolic, and simply cannot be bought at these lofty levels. In fact, some traders will find shorting it a viable strategy. This is not recommended as you don't know how long this move can continue. However, if we get a pullback, this pair is a long-term buy.

EUR/JPY Technical Analysis For April 7, 2011

Posted: 06 Apr 2011 07:34 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
EUR/JPY continues to go forward as the market keeps pushing this currency pair up. It is now parabolic, and simply cannot be bought at these levels. However, if we get a pullback, this pair is a long-term buy. The fundamentals in Japan are getting bad enough that owning the yen won't be desirable for a very long time. The pair should find massive support at 120, and would be a buy at that level.

GBP/CHF Technical Analysis For April 7, 2011

Posted: 06 Apr 2011 07:24 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
GBP/CHF formed a very strange candle today, showing an overall confusion in the marketplace. The pair tested the 1.52 area, which is a major resistance line, and then fell hard to try the 1.49 as well. In the end – it moved very little from the close. Because of this, the pair might be better left alone at the moment.
