The EUR/GBP pair has broken down at the 0.88 level, showing its intention to head back to the 0.86 level as the ECB looks set to hike rate in a couple of days. A break above 0.88 is necessary to even consider a long, and a break below today's lows can be a selling opportunity.

GBP/CHF Technical Analysis For April 6, 2011

Posted: 06 Apr 2011 12:35 AM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The GBP/CHF pair has broken above the 1.50 level, and much quicker than expected. This shows that the pair has found massive strength, and should continue northward. The pair should pullback, allowing any of you who missed the move a chance to buy – if you are patient. Shorts should only be considered under 1.48 at this point.

By ForexMansion.com

 
The USD/JPY pair has broken above the 84.50 area, which has served as resistance for quite some time. Because of this, selling is probably not going to be advised for quite some time. Also, a trend change might be considered as well – as there are 5 central banks currently supporting this pair. With the US talking about possible tightening of monetary policy by the end of the year – we might be looking at the carry trade eventually.

The EUR/CHF pair has formed a second hammer in a row just under the 1.32 level, and slightly above the 1.30 area. Because of this it looks like the EUR/CHF wants to go higher, and has formed a bit of a base at 1.30. The pair could go sideways for a while longer. Selling under 1.30 is preferred, and buying above 1.32 is acceptable.

By ForexMansion.com

 
The USD/CAD pair has fallen again, and is currently testing our support level near the 0.9620 mark. As the pair popped up yesterday, certainly a lot of traders that missed the move down from 0.97 got involved. Because of this a break down is still considered to be likely, and a buy is not recommended at all. New lows will bring more selling.

The EUR/JPY pair has broken above the 120 level, and much quicker than anyone could have anticipated. This shows massive strength, and should erase any ideas of shorting this pair at all. A massive pullback is necessary in order to get involved, however the 120 area could serve as support. Entering up here is simply chasing the trade.

AUD/NZD Technical Analysis For April 6, 2011

Posted: 06 Apr 2011 12:27 AM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The AUD/NZD pair has broken below the 1.35 level, which had been very supportive. Because of this, the pair looks to fall further. The pair will try to find support at 1.34, 1.33, and 1.32 as well. The pair is still in a buy only mode as selling would be going against many support levels before a trend change would be inconsideration. A move back above 1.35 would be very bullish. Shorting isn't realistic until we print a 1.29 handle.

Gold has broken out again today as the commodity moved above the $1,450 level for the first time ever.

Natural Gas drifted lower again today as we are currently testing the $4.20 support level. A break below this level sends us down to $4, while supportive action here could send us back to $4.50 or above. Waiting for a daily close that supports the $4.20 level's support is recommended. Shorting under $4 would also set up nicely.

USD/CHF Technical Analysis For April 6, 2011

Posted: 05 Apr 2011 07:03 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The USD/CHF pair fell and bounced right back up off of the 0.92 level today. The 0.92 is starting to look rather supportive, and if it stays so – this pair could find upward momentum for the short term. As the global markets are looking a bit stronger, it is possible the Franc will fall in general. A break below the 0.92 mark is a clear sell signal, while a move above 0.9350 has buyers stepping in.
