Gold Technical Analysis April 26, 2011

Posted: 26 Apr 2011 01:38 AM PDT

By CommoditiesMansion.com

Gold formed a "spinning top" today, but is still above the $1,500 mark. This shows how strong this market remains, and that it is a buy only type of situation. The market looks like it wants to pullback based upon the candlestick, but this should only provide a buying opportunity in this commodity as more buyers will certainly be interested at $1,500 and the $1,475-$1,480 area.

Forex – Dollar Down Across The Board As Fed Meeting In Focus

Posted: 26 Apr 2011 01:32 AM PDT

Forex Pros – The U.S. dollar was lower against its all of its major counterparts on Tuesday, weakened by the perception the U.S. Federal Reserve is unlikely to tighten the bank’s policy in the immediate future.<br /><br />During European morning trade, the greenback was lower against the euro, with EUR/USD easing up 0.13% to hit 1.4600.<br /><br />Earlier in the day, European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet said he &ldquo;entirely&rdquo; shared the … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Balance Transfer Credit Cards

NZD/USD Technical Analysis For April 26, 2011

Posted: 26 Apr 2011 12:55 AM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The NZD/USD pair fell today, but found support at the 0.80 level, a former major resistance area. This is good for the bulls, but if you are not in this pair right now, this is a perfect example of a market move that you missed. Buying at these levels is simply out of the question based upon the large move over the last few months. Look for significant pullbacks in order to buy this pair, perhaps at 0.78 or even 0.75 as well.

USD/CAD Technical Analysis For April 26, 2011

The USD/CAD pair had a bullish day today, rising from the bottom in a fairly strong fashion. It should be noted that we did rise above the recent hammer highs, and this is actually a bullish signal. But this pair has been in such a downtrend, it is still thought of as a "sell on the rallies" type of pair. Also, it should be noted that there is a bit of resistance in the 0.9550 area that has held so far.

Posted: 26 Apr 2011 12:50 AM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The USD/JPY pair fell today, and looks fairly weak at the moment. However, the central banks are below, and willing to buy it. The 80-81 level continues to hold so far, and as such there is still hope for the bulls in this pair. Any break below that area will certainly get the attention of the CB's, and could spell danger for shorts. Look for support at 80, and then perhaps buy it up for the longer-term.

Posted: 26 Apr 2011 12:47 AM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The GBP/USD pair fell today, showing signs of weakness for the first time in a while. However, there is a decent support area directly below in the form of the 1.64 level. The pair may drift lower to find it, but could begin to attract new buyers at that level. Certainly selling isn't the way to go. Buy on pullbacks, just as you should have been doing for over a year now.

The GBP/JPY pair fell today, and fell somewhat hard. It is still in the same range it has been stuck in for a week now, but this bar is looking more and more red as the day goes on. The pair should see significant support under it however. Remember, the 135-135.50 area was vital as resistance before, and we may simply be seeing a pullback to retest it.

The GBP/CHF pair continues to slide, testing the all-important 1.45 mark today. This area has served as support, and continues to do so, even though the market did penetrate it earlier. The pair bounced back up, and shows that it might not be ready to fall yet. The trend is certainly down, and that is the preferred direction. However, as long as 1.45 is in the way, the possibility of a bull move is still there.

Posted: 26 Apr 2011 12:21 AM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The EUR/CHF pair fell today, and is currently testing the 1.28 level – a place that has been somewhat supportive in the past. Because of this, a bounce is certainly possible. The truth about this pair is at the moment – it looks tired and somewhat confused. Long-term it is in a downtrend, but the recent action suggests that we may be entering more consolidation. Look for the fight to begin between the 1.27 and 1.30 areas.

By ForexMansion.com

 
The EUR/GBP pair continues to muddle around the 0.88 mark, printing a green candle today. The pair seems to be stuck at the moment, and this market is going to be tough to trade until some certainty is introduced in the market. The pair is currently stuck in a 70 pip range or so, and is just sitting there. This market is probably one to avoid until a significant move in one direction or the other happens.

The AUD/USD pair fell today, but has found the 1.07 area as supportive for the moment. Although this is a good sign, this pair desperately needs a pullback, and today was the first sign of one. If we can pullback and find supportive action around the 1.05 area – this would get us interested in buying again.

EUR/JPY Technical Analysis For April 26, 2011

Posted: 25 Apr 2011 10:20 PM PDT

By ForexMansion.com

 
The EUR/JPY pair fell today, and is closing towards the bottom of its range for the day. The pair seems like it is drifting sideways, and simply waiting for some kind of signal as what to do next. The significant 120 level is just above, and a break of that gets us buying again. A breakdown from here leads to 115, which would be a great place to buy as well. Central banks lurk below there, and will certainly make their presence known if we go much farther than the … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Balance Transfer Credit Cards

P.J. O’Rourke: Irish Setter Dad

Posted: 25 Apr 2011 06:20 PM PDT

I just wasn't cut out to be a Chinese Tiger Mom. I'm more of an Irish Setter Dad. Here are some of the things my daughters, Muffin and Poppet, and my son, Buster, were never allowed to do:

• go to Mass naked
• attend a sleepover at Charlie Sheen's house
• mix Daddy a martini using sweet vermouth
• play the violin within earshot of me

Have you ever heard a kid learning to play the violin? A cat in the microwave is nothing to it. And let me add an addendum to the things my … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Balance Transfer Credit Cards

After reaching the said high, it then consolidated into a small descending channel. … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Balance Transfer Credit Cards

Investors might be in a wait-and-see mode until the FED releases its statement. Market breadth finished on the negative side.
